July the 6th - morning

I wake up by Killua side again as usual, watching him sleep peacefully has become one of my favourite things to do.

When Killua has a peaceful look on his face, it always makes me smile and sometimes, if I'm real lucky...

He has this amazingly cute smile, one that I love seeing, and one want to see every day!

However sometimes I can't help but be sad, after being this close to Killua it has also made me weak, dependent on Killua if I lost him, god only knows what I would do...

I sneak out of bed, re-covering Killua with the blanket, before placing a quick on his forehead.

I leave the room to go out for a morning walk.

The ride down the elevator takes forever.

As soon as I get out, I head straight for the streets, thinking.

You know what?! I'm buying Killua a gift... I have no idea what, maybe something useful.

Actually... when is his birthday...

I shrug, continuing to roam around, making sure to hit all the stores I can find.

One store catches my interest as I find the exact same jewellery Killua brought me.

I grin slightly, picking it up Exactly how much did you pay?

I flip the tag, frowning at the price tag Oh... I'm so going to kill him!

I put down the item, continuing to roam around some more.

Nothing catches my interest. I decide to head back, stopping when something catches my eye a little store, hidden in plain sight.

I decide to walk in, browsing the store to find something that Killua might like.

One of them draws my attention the most This might be it!

I lift it up, viewing it with interest.

Focusing on the handiwork, that went into making it.

The stone to me looks like a Dark Sapphire, but when I twist it under the light, it changes to a much lighter blue. It really depends on how the light reflects off of it.

The gem is crafted into a lightning bolt, with a white silver plated back. It dangles off a thin white silver chain.

Somehow it reminds me of Killua's hair colour, and the gem stone itself, reminds me of Killua's eyes.

Dark, deep and calm... but hidden amongst that is a light, one that anyone would least expect to see. When you look deep enough into those eyes... You can see it, how he shows genuine care...

Killua on a moment's notice, would put his life on the line for somebody else. I want that, but at the same time, I don't want him to do it. I don't ever want him to risk his life for me!

But there is also the darkness there, stopping him from showing that attribute.

From time to time, I've picked that up.

I smile, turning to the shop keeper "How much for this?"

Looking at the man dead in the eyes, I could tell straight away.

I'm about to be forced to haggle with him.

The man answers me firmly "One million Jenny!"

I cough, sputtering the words out. The same I would speak after hearing my dad just casually blurt out his sex life to me, without a single care in the world "What is this made of diamonds?"

He shakes his head, replying calmly "It is a rare powerful artifact, one that is worth much more than I'm asking for!"

I trace the necklace, seeing if I can call his bluff. There is a faint aura of Nen contained in it, although, the pulse isn't strong enough to be considered rare and powerful.

I turn to the man, calling is bluff "That's funny! Because I don't believe you... I say you're trying to drive your hands as far as you can in my pockets."

The man shakes his head "Believe me, I wouldn't do that to you..."

I shake my head, grinning back at him "You see... I'm calling your bluff! It's a serious crime to haggle someone above the law."

The man retorts with a smug look "What? The cops are hiring children now..."

I shake my head "No~, but..."

I flick out my Hunter's Licence "I wouldn't want to be forced to hunt you down later..."

A short while later

I dangle the necklace with a massive grin "I recon I did well, these licences do come in handy... One million Jenny, pfft! I do believe though I somehow manage to get him to drop it below his initial buying price to a hundred thousand Jenny..."

I laugh at my fortune, sliding the necklace into my pockets as I hit more stores, seeing what else I could find.

I manage to pick up a mobile phone at a cheap price as well. It's not the best, but it's certainly not the worst either. And a sword holster to carry that monster around.

The last thing I need is touching that sword, and falling victim to it again.

I decide to head back to the arena.

Time Skip

Killua would most certainly be up already. And I can't wait to see, his pissed off face!

I head up to my room, packing my bag. I knew for a fact! This would be our last day. Today, being Gon's fight against Hisoka. Which, is the main reason we're here in the first place! That, and training.

I look at the sword, slinging it over my shoulder, straight into the holster.

As holding it would cause me to pass out again, if I held it for too long.

Now onto Killua's room before he can wake up! I want to be by his side if he hasn't woken up yet. Maybe I can sneak in a kiss or two before he wakes up completely.

I grin, opening the door to receive a site, one that I was least expecting "YAN!"

Yan pushes his hand into my chest, ramming me into the back wall.

Before he could throw another punch, I quickly dodge it, having the wall behind me almost completely demolished.

"You're paying for that!" I yell as Yan turns around, to face me "I'll pay for it with your blood!"

For every punch he throws, I attempt to dodge them.

If even one of them lands on me... It's going to fucken kill!

I yell "Stop this you stupid idiot, you know the consequences if you kill me!"

Yan is in a frenzy, to the point, I don't even think he can care anymore "If I can't have you, I'll just kill you! Then nobody can!"

Yan grabs me by the neck, holding me against the wall. I growl, trying to free his grip from around my neck "Why...? You don't even love me... I can see it in your eyes..."

Yan brings me up to his eye level, retorting back "I don't care! Someone has to make sure the Darkscryers live on..."

His a dude?! Unless he plans on giving birth to my kids, somehow...

I don't think this arrangement could work! That, and I can't be with someone I don't care about! If I'm with someone I don't care about, why the hell would I even be in a relationship! It's just fucken stupid, fuck friends with benefits... No pun intended!

I want to be with Killua! My heart belongs to him, and only him!

I twist my head out of his grip, after grappling his hands and loosening them up a bit "What?"

Yan grins widely "Didn't you hear they are dead!"

I pull back my leg, kicking him right in the family jewels, dropping him to the floor like a sack of potatoes.

I take a couple of quick breaths, hopping to open my air pressure, building up in my almost crushed neck.

As Yan rolls along the floor, I grab his own sword, ramming it into is arm, attempting to hold him against the floor.

After being able to breathe again properly, I yell in Yan's face "That's a sick and twisted lie to pull! No one, has even been able to kill, let alone defeat my Vastorie on a, one on one match! And I highly doubt he'll let someone Killua Nathaniel those guys are inseparable!"

In more ways than one!

I swear on my children's life... Vastorie's mouth is glued to Nathaniel's! And I never been able to walk into the house, without walking in on them once!

"Are you trying to piss me off?" I finally growl after my mental thought.

Yan grins, coughing some blood "The Phantom Troupe used some kind of ability, to fool Nathaniel into thinking you were captured! And unless he killed himself... Well you know w-"

I pick up the sword slamming into his chest "Where was Vastorie in all of this?!"

Yan coughs again "Nathaniel complied so easily... Not realising that the person was a fake, but your Vastorie... his the smart one! He knew straight away, that you were alive... I think he was keeping tabs on you."

I push the sword with my foot, deeper into his chest "Again, where was Vastorie?"

Yan croaks "Vastorie tried to save Nathaniel, but it was too late! he was already dead, The trauma from losing Nathaniel did..."

I yell in Yan's face "WHAT DID HE DO?"

Yan yells back "I don't know, nobody knows, he vanished without a trace..."

I push the blade further in "He just doesn't vanish into thin air! It's not like him!"

I hear my name get called.

I stop, turning in the direction of the voice.

What I see is Killua, standing there, pissed off and ready to kill someone.

I turn back to Yan "I warned you to not fuck with my life! And did you listen to me... No?!"

Pushing the blade further in, awards me with Yan hacking and coughing blood out "You told me a lie that sounds believable but... If I find this to be a lie!... I know for a fact, that my father, will enjoy dealing with you... now who hired the Phantom Troupe?"

Killua watches me carefully as I slam my foot on the blade, hearing the sounds of cracking bones. Yan yells after hearing that sound as well "The Derekricas... all of them, they hired them because you ran away!"

As I rip out the sword, my eyes narrow dangerously "You can stay alive for now, you've told me enough already... that, and you'll be paying for the damage to this place."

I sheath the sword back, walking towards Killua.

I stop besides Killua, whispering loudly "NOT A WORD TO GON! We are leaving after this anyways! And he won't be healing after that any time soon, the scars will be a visual reminder for him."

I turn the corner in silence as Killua follows, not knowing what to say to him.

You fucken idiot! You came so close to breaking your vow! You promised Nathaniel, you pinkie swore to him that you wouldn't kill anyone! And to top it off, you just yelled at Killua!

Are you a fucken idiot?! How could you yell at him?! You should have begged Killua to kill him...

But then you still would have broken you're vow indirectly! And to top it off, you would have broken the one where you said you didn't want Killua to kill!

The idea of losing my both of my fathers, and them losing any kind battle is impossible.

Vastorie can take down anyone without raising a hand!

And Nathaniel, oh don't get me started on him! I've seen him fight against hundreds of people at the same time!

I wouldn't even be surprised if his fought Netero at some point...!

His always enjoyed a great challenge.

Meanwhile - Killua's P.O.V

Daniel is unsure of what to say, and neither do I know what to say either.

Daniel... Why was he there why didn't you call for my help you selfish bastard! I should have slit Yan's throat when I had the chance!

But seeing Daniel like that... It made me scared to act. It's like he became...

Unapproachable... That last bit at the end... Daniel did run away like he said... we both ran away from our pasts and now they've both caught up to us.

What if this is a mistake?! What if we shouldn't be together? Are we even thinking this straight?

We could have made a mistake... And this is how we are paying for it.

I get Daniel to get cleaned up. Then I think we shouldn't see each other... It's probably for the best...

Daniel's P.O.V

I shake my head clear of all my thoughts.

Killua taps my shoulder "Daniel... We'll get you cleaned up... and then we need to talk..."

I nod at his idea, unable to speak.

Time Skip

As I'm cleaning up, I look at the blood in my hands, wishing it was all a dream.

What if his right...?

What if my parents are dead...?

Even though I hate what they did... I fucken loved them! And I didn't even get to say good bye...

As I'm wiping the blood from my hands, I see it, looking back at me. The monster behind my eyes is grinning back at me.

Tempest has won he has me wrapped around his finger... I enjoyed the pain I dished out to Yan...

I look back down, washing my hands as quickly as I can. Hoping, to get out of the bathroom sooner rather than later.

I am unable to look at that face, my face any longer than I have to. That monster hurts me more than anything in the world...

As I get out of the bathroom, I look at Killua who is tapping his foot impatiently on the floor.

"Look Daniel about earlier..." Killua opens up as I break down in tears.

That was all I could take, tears streamed down my face, unable to hold it in anymore. I drop in Killua's arms, whispering in his ear "They are dead because of me..."

Meanwhile - Killua's P.O.V

I only hold onto Daniel as he cries into my shoulder, unable to stop or hold back a single tear.

Why the fuck did Daniel just get a hundred times cuter?!

Why the hell do I even think it's cute that he's even crying?! His fucken broke in my arms and if I squeeze him, I'm sure he'll break like glass...

Fucken say it you pansy! Dump him... We shouldn't be together because-

Daniel's voice cuts me out of my thoughts "They are dead because of me..."

I stop, listening to Daniel cry in my arms.

Killua...

End it! You shouldn't be together, let him know! Let him know that! We should find someone better for each other.

I-

My thoughts are cut short as Daniel clenches my sides, begging me to hold him.

Daniel-

No please don't! I don't think we should-

Without thinking straight, my arms wrap around his slender frame, holding him close to me.

Why can't I do it! I can't be that into him?! Why can't I just say we should go our separate ways... I want him now! More than ever! Why the hell was him crying a breaking point for me...

I love him... or maybe I just really like him...

And I just want to stay at his side now...

Yeah... that's it! You want to protect him as well as Gon!

I'll protect you Daniel... I want to... because I think I lo...lo...like you!

Daniel's P.O.V

The sudden realisation of how close I came to killing someone was killing me. What made it worse was I broke down in tears in front of Killua.

In front of Killua! Out of all people?! It had to be Killua...

I wanted to be strong for him and now I'm fricken weak!

I clench Killua's sides, begging me to hug me back, to comfort me. I don't know why I did it... or how long I waited before he complied. The shock of me crying must have startled him.

That had to be it... I startled Killua...

I have to go soon! I had to go see for myself, to see if it was true...

I needed to see if they were in fact, dead...

And to do that...

I need to go home... alone.

I don't want to bring Killua if I'm gonna ball my eyes out like a child! I had to be strong! I have to grow some balls... Man up! And bury my parents if that's the case...

Still how could they lose... Nathaniel was the one who trained me in both weapon mastery and hand to hand combat... I couldn't even get a hit in! And now his dead... or could be dead.

All these thoughts, plus many more flowed through my mind. If they are in fact dead how was I supposed to be the head of the house at age 13! Do I even want to be the head of my house?

I know it's selfish since I have no brothers or sisters...

Legitimate brothers or sisters at least...

I look at Killua, hoping he may have some information on what I should do.

"Killua, what should I do?" I whisper to Killua.

Killua tenses up for a moment. He could only shakes his head, side to side, holding me as close as he can "What is you want to do?"

I look at Killua, deep in his endless blue eyes "I need to go home, I need to find out if it's true and..." I look down at the floor, hating my next choice of words "I need to do it alone..."

Those last few words stung Killua, I hated seeing him wince, but this is something I need to do by myself.

I will not involve Killua anymore than I have to.

Killua's P.O.V

I need to do it alone...

I hate those fucken words! Why can't he just say: hey, I'm weak! Fucken help me solve my problems! Is it that hard to ask?

And those cousins of him can go fuck themselves... To think they would even kill each other over something stupid! Why can't they be like my family...

Minus the bat shit insane crazy attitudes... Except for Alluka, she's the only normal one in the family!

I nod slightly at Daniel's words "How long do you think you'll be gone?"

Daniel looks up, forcing a smile.

Are you fucken kidding me you look like you're about to break! Just ask for my help... Please... Don't do this to me or yourself!

He looks me in the eyes, standing as strong and firm as he can, even with tears in my eyes "We will meet in Yorknew on the 1st of September! Ready or not I will be there..."

I fucken hate this! He should stay by Gon and our side... Please fucken stay!

He looks firmly at me, wiping the remaining tears away "But since that day is so far away..."

I wanted to wipe them away...

Why didn't I...

I should have... but I didn't! Did I secretly enjoy it...

No!...It can't be that. It's because he was crying... I never seen him cry... Maybe I just wanted to watch him cry...

Because it made me happy to see him cry in my arms... FREAK!

Daniel grabs a piece of paper, flipping open a phone.

Did he always have a phone...? Because that's new...

He proceeds to write down something, placing in my hand.

Daniel's P.O.V

I give my number to Killua "Ring me any chance you get! I don't care how late, or how early it is! I will always answer it... even if I'm on the toilet... no matter how embarrassing it would be for me."

Killua nods, slightly amused from the last comment.

I blush, realising I just egged Killua to ring me on the toilet.

Killua asks one final question "When do you plan on leaving?"

I reply, smiling weakly "After Hisoka's Battle..."

Ok I'm not one for writing this type of style, let alone reading it. So, it was a pain to recheck the spelling errors or grammar errors.

I did however enjoyed writing this, except... for making my OC break down in tears...
