Gon wakes up and checks the alarm clock on his bedside to his left.

6:45 am.

He turns to his friend on his right who is facing him, still sleeping and lightly snoring. The spiky haired boy relaxes back for a second looking at his friend who is sound asleep. He should consider himself lucky, not that many people can be this close to the ex-assassin and have him still be asleep. Gon finally gets the energy to sit up and then get out of bed in his green and white striped pyjamas. The cold soon hits him as he starts to wake him up fully. He walks over to Killua's side of the bed, opens the curtains and looks out the window. There's frost on glass. He looks down at the paddocks admiring the whitened tips on the blades of grass. He then turns to the closet next to the door and gets out his uniform which he put on a clothes rack last night. He puts the suite jacket to one side, grabs the short sleeved white shirt with a black tie and black shorts. He goes to his bedside table and opens the bottom of the 3 small draws and does through the pile of socks and underwear grabbing a pair of each. He opens his bedroom door and walks down the hallway turning off into the bathroom. He checks to make sure he has a clean towel on the rack and turns on the shower. The boy brushes his teeth while waiting for the show to warm up. Once that's done, he double checks the temperature and once he's happy he begins undressing. Finally he breaks the cold snap with the warm shower. Taking a moment just to enjoy the heat before he proceeds in washing himself. Finally he turns off the water and steps out drying himself with a towel and gets changed into his new uniform. He wipes the condensation off the mirror from the shower and looks at himself. He gives himself a small smile. He thought he would look too uptight with the whole suite getup but he's happy with how he looks, even though his hair is still messy. The boys walks down the hallway again with damp hair drooping. He puts it by the lamp on his bedside table and looks at the clock.

7:00 am.

He concludes that it's time to wake his friend. He's always been a bit of a stick in the mud when it comes to early mornings. He walks over to his friend who has now turned facing the window. He puts one arm on his side and slowly shakes him awake.

"Killlluuuuuaaaaaa" He softly whispers "Time to get up"

He was met with nothing but grumbles from his friend who dived under the covers.

"c'mon! You've got to get ready for school. I don't want to us to be late!"

"Five more minuets!" He finally spoke in a groggy voice. Gon was all too familiar with this game. He asks for five more minuets, then another and then another. Luckily he had ways around it.

"Okay. Fine" The boy with damp hair said with a cheeky grin "But I'm taking the blanket then you can stay in bed for as long as you want."

"Don't you dare, Gon!" His tired friend moaned as he started ripping the blanket from the clutches of the white haired boy. He took the entire double blanket and laid it on the floor out of his friends reach.

The white haired teen just laid on the mattress in a white singlet and boxer shorts with his head dangling off the edge of the mattress giving his friend an angry look. Gon just smiles back. The cold must of gotten to his friend soon after because he soon got up and stretched.

"I don't know why I put up with you." Killua said inbetween yawns.

"Because without me, you'd be late to everything" Gon said while brushing his hair. The long haired boy walked over to the blanket, laying it on the bed before going to the closet to grabs his clothes. Killua takes off his singlet facing the window. Gon goofly looking at him with his shirt off. His gaze was broken when the other teen puts on his long sleeved white shirt followed by the black blazer. Killua turns to look at his friend.

"What's wrong?" He said looking at his friend.

"Oh…. Nothing I guess." Gon said snapping out of his daze. "Your hair's kinda messy"

With that the teen bent his neck looking at his hair which looked like a birds nest.

"Oh, thanks" He said picking up the brush Gon just put down.

"Y'know, you wouldn't have that problem if you just took a shower in the morning"

"Ehh, then I need to get up too early. Beside I have one at night" The hunter sad brushing his hair until it became smooth again. The two boys walk downstairs to find Kurapika in the kitchen with the table set. There was cereal and orange juice.

"Morning Kurapika!" Gon said cheerfully.

"Morning you two." He said as he opens the dishwasher and stars putting the clean dishes away.

The boys begin, pouring their cornflakes and milk. Gon added one tea spoon of sugar, and Killua added 5.

"You're certainly taking this whole parent thing very seriously" The long haired hunter said eating.

"If you want me to stop, I can." He said not even looking back. "I've found there's not much else for me to do"

"You could probably get some leads." the hunter in the black suite said.

"Yeah" Gon chimed in "That man was telling us about something weird, a whole lot of the farmers were in some trouble all of a sudden a couple years ago and now they don't own any of the land they work on. Instead a bunch of rich people bought it off them and let them stay on it for free"

"That is weird." The blond said turning to the boys "Perhaps it could be to do with the stone"

"The stone?" The boys said in almost complete unison.

"You know, Anthersite?" The kurta said. The boys look to each other perplexed. "Did you two get any information about the mission at all?"

"Well… we're undercover. We need to find some lady and somebody is trying to kill anybody who's looking for her" Killua said while eating.

"Typical."

"What? Did we miss something?"

"I guess I'll fill you in." He began as he continued putting dishes away. "There are old records of a mysterious stone called Anthersite. It was most famous because of a wondering tribe was the first to invent/find it. They wouldn't really say. But they often demonstrated it's properties to completely nullify nen."

"You mean put someone into zetsu?" The boy in the white shirt asked.

"Yes, but it goes further. When someone is touching it they're in complete zestu, involuntarily and any aura which touches it whether it's emitted, transmuted or even materialized has absolutely no effect on it what so ever."

"Imagine making weapons out of the stuff." Killua pondered. Is that really the first thing which pops into his head?

"How does the lady fit in?" Gon asked.

"Well, most documentations of the stone came from a journal of a tribesman who's job was to guard the stone supply. The association was sent the journal by an archaeologist, with promises of a second, earlier journal. Which when translated, could have the stones origins in it. However the archaeologist was soon killed before he sent it. The second journal was no where to be found. Specialists where sent to the scene who had abilities to pick up aura which was previously there, almost like a nen footprint. They can pick up the slightest traces of aura, even from a non nen users. But despite their skill, they didn't get a single scent on the perpetrator."

"So how do you know it was murder?" Gon said just about finished his breakfast.

"Because standard forensics still concluded that someone was there. They just didn't leave any aura. At all." The blond said as he finished up and walked over to the table.

"So they used anthersite. Right?" Killua said.

"That's the going theory." Kurapika replied.

"I still don't get how this women fits into this." Gon said getting frustrated.

"Sorry, I was getting to that. The nen tracers didn't find the perpetrator, but they found traces of someone else at the crime scene. A 16 year old girl, believed to have hidden in the closet and seen the whole thing. More importantly however, we found a torn of page of the second journal with the girls signature on it. Telling us that she has the journal. That 16 year old girl is the women we're are looking for now."

"If you have her identity, what's with the guessing game? Why not just tell us and we'll waltz on up to her." The white haired hunter said.

"We believe her to have lost her memory and completely change her appearance. The last place they traced her to was a hair salon where they have records of dying her hair brown and then to a nen specialist who claimed she voluntarily wiped her memory clean. "

"Why would she do that?"

"I'm only speculating, but it could be a way to cope with the trauma or and advanced privatized witness protection program. Either way: it makes our job very difficult."

"How did we get the other information about her, like where she lived and the necklaces she wears?" Gon asked now out of the sake of curiosity.

"That's what little we could get from the reports of the other hunters who investigated her. Not one of them where able to send a picture of her face, or the name she's currently going by. And now you guys no as much as us on the topic." The kurta said as he took the bowls from the boys. "So needless to say, this mission is important." He walked over and put the bowls in the sink and left the room.

"I can't believe they didn't tell us all that!" Gon moaned to his friend.

"Well your always so keen to rush into everything. You agreed to mission before they even told you what it was." The boy in the black suite said. Gon didn't try and defend himself but instead gave an ear to ear smile. Kurapika returned with the boys bags.

"All of your stationary and books are in here, it's quite heavy so you might want put some things in your lock-"

"We'll be fine" Killua interrupted putting the bag on. Gon did the same in his white short sleeved shirt.

"Don't tell me you're walking to school in that, you'll freeze." The blond said in a motherly tone.

"I'll be fine, I don't like wearing suites"

"It's really cold out there."

"I'm use to worse" He said with a reassuring smile. Kurapika let go of the point knowing that it's hopeless.

"When you get to school, your first class is 1E. You'll get your time tables there"

"Thanks!" Gon said, Killua was more silent. They both head out the door.

The school isn't too far away from where they live, about a 15 minute walk. The boys get there no trouble. The school seems pretty standard. The only thing you can see from the front is the main building, 2 stories. Both hunters can see people in black and white flooding in through the gate. Gon is practicaly jumping up and down with excitement, with Killua left to keep him under control.

Gon reaches into his pocket and checks his phone.

7:30 am.

He knows school starts at 8.

"Let's try and find our first class so we're not lost when the bell goes." He says to his friend. The first thing do is find and walk through the door to the big building. The floor is light blue, quite hard. In contrast to the red walls which have carpet running up them. The hall ways are narrow, with lots of turns. It all feels like a maze. Each stretch of corridor looks like the last, the only difference is the artwork on the walls and the ascending locker numbers. Each turn quickly branches off into another two. Creating a network of classes. Now that he thinks about it, there is a pattern to it. Blocks of 4 classrooms with the hall way running around the entire block. Like a grid. Knowing the pattern doesn't make it any less confusing. Killua is starting to look a little impatient. Gon swears he's seen hat picture of a bird before. Even trying to leave now would prove difficult. He's able to navigate an unknown forest like a pro but a school has got them both in loops. It doesn't help that they just keep passing strangers all wearing the same clothes. He's starting to hate the colours black and white now. The uniform seems to wash over any identifiable features in Gon's head and the only thing he can remember when he crosses someone is a faceless uniform. Not only that. All the classrooms they're passing are As and Bs. The two are both worried. Not wanting to ask for help from the unfriendly faces. Gon instinctively grabs Killua's hand. At first the long haired teen stopped for half a second when his hand is first grabbed, but then they continued on not seeming to mind. They finally find a way upstairs. No luck either, just the same maze. They seem to be getting closer, Cs and Ds. No E. No E's anywhere!

The Bell rings, adding to the chaos. Doors opening. Hallways turning into highways or rivers. The boys stop and keep to the sides waiting for everyone to pass. Then they're left in just an empty hall except a few late straddlers.

"Shit what are we going to do." Killua mutters to himself still holding the other boys hand.

"We could always ask another class for directions." Gon replied.

"In the movies those sorts of people are normally laughed out of the place." He says look worried.

"We don't really have a choice." Gon reasons.

"You two look lost" A boy with blond hair said. The boys don't say anything back but instead just turned his way. He was wearing the black and white suite with large red, over the ear headphones around his neck.

"We're fin-" The long haired boy was about to finish.

"Yeah, we're new." Gon smiled sheepishly. His friend gave him an angered look.

"Figured as much. I'm going to take a wild guess and say you two are looking for 1E." He said matching Gon's smiles.

"What? how did you know?" The boy in the white shirt said.

" 3 things: 1. You're friend here has an unusual hair colour. You don't find it here very often, dead give away you're not from around here. 2. Given how full classes are looking they'll most likely put the new students in E block. You could be 2, 3, 4, 5 E except I noticed you guys only looked at either the first numbers of a block or the last. And 5E is full."

"Wow!" Gon looked amazed. "And what's the third thing?"

"I'm in 1E and they said yesterday that we're getting two new classmates." He said with a smile.

"C'mon, I'll take you to class. Miss Thornhop freaks if you're late." He said as he began walking. The boys quickly followed behind. They went back down stairs, weaving through the maze.

"You're trying to act all smart, when you where just told all that. Kinda pathetic." Killua said venomously.

"Killua, Be nice!" Gon moaned.

"It's fine." The blond boys said walking in front of the two hunters. " He's right. I do try and act smart. But there are something I do know through observation. For example." He stopped walking and turned to the boys " I can tell you two are either family members, or really close friends."

"H...How?" Killua stuttered. The boy didn't answer but instead just stared at them. Not at them. Lower. Our hands. Which they were holding. Killua snatched his hand away in huff folding them . Gon has no idea why he has a problem with their navigator. They begin walking again. Weaving through the maze, out the main door once more.

"Which is it, may I ask? Family or friends?" He said walking around the building with boys passing behind him.

"None of your business" Killua muttered quietly to himself, Gon was sure he was the only one who could have heard that.

"Fr-...Family. We were adopted. So, brothers I guess." Gon hesitated.

"huh." The boy with the headphones said. " Y'know. Around here it's a little weird for brothers to be holding each others hands. But I guess I could understand if you were close." the boy kept walking around the back of the school where a scatter of classrooms in front of field are. This must be blocks E and F.

"so, do you guys have names?" The blonde boy said.

"Yeah, I'm Gon. And this Killua." Gon replied as they approach the door of 1E "What about you?" He asks as the boy opens the door.

"Well I'm Ja-"

"JACOB YOU'RE LATE AGAIN!" yelled the tall thin lady with wide framed glasses.

"I was just helping out these new students, like the caring, honest, hard-working student I am" He said in an overly dramatic almost satirical voice.

"yeah… and what's your excuse for every other day?" She said as the class just sat in silence.

"Would you believe: feeding the homeless?"

"Sure, when pigs start to fly. Take a seat." She said turning her attention to the two hunters as Jacob quickly wonders to the back of the class. "Welcome, I see you're already getting yourselves settled in. I'm miss Thornhop, your home room teacher."

"Good to meet you" Gon said trying his best to be polite. Killua still isn't saying anything and has that look on his face which suggests he's not going to be nice to anybody he talks too. It's best if Gon does the talking right now. "Go on! Introduce yourselves. They don't bite too much."

"Hi I'm Gon, this is my brother Killua. We're from the east, a city called Yorknew. We recently moved here!"

"What was the school like that you previously went to?" She said looking interested.

"Well… We were both home schooled. So good I guess."

"Do you have any hobbies?"

"Well, I like fishing." He said trying to think.

"I'm afraid you wont be doing much of that here, there isn't any places to fish anywhere near by."

"Yeah, I know. But I guess there's nothing you can really do."

"You strike me as the athletic type. Do you play any sport?"

"Oh, uh. Not really. I've heard of it though." The class started laughing. It wasn't really a joke, he hasn't really played much sport at all.

"Wise guy, huh? I see why you and Jacob get on well. What about you Kileeta? Do you have any hobbies? interests?" She turned to the white haired boy.

"Killua, and no." He solemnly replied.

"Heavens, my apologies. Well you don't seem very talkative today. Maybe you might come out of your shell later in there year. Go ahead and pick your seats." Gon scans the class looking at all the faces staring back at him in the sea of uniforms. There seems to be a couple of seats next to Jacob who is sitting on his own so he makes his way through to him with his friend tailing behind.

"Opps I almost forgot. Here are your timetables." she quickly handed two pieces of paper to the boys before they continued walking. They both walk to the back of the class. Gon takes the seat closest to Jacob, and Killua takes the seat next to his friend. " All right, Sally. Could you please read out the notices..."

"So you've survived the interrogation. Congratulations" The blond boy said.

"Yeah, she's actually pretty nice. Why doesn't she like you?" Gon asked bluntly.

"It's more of a frenemies relationship." He said leaning back.

"Friena- what?" Gon thought to himself confused.

"They pretend to not like each other, in a playful way." Killua pointed out. A relieved look washed over his face.

"Oh, do you not use that term where your from?" The boy with the red headphones asked.

"We do, he's just a numbskull." Killua said in a little more cheerful mood. "What classes do you have" he said turning to his friend in the white shirt. They both held their time tables side by side. They're in nearly all of the same classes. Except for maths and PE. Gon seems to have the same teacher for both of those subjects.

"Miss Haley" He read out-load.

"I had her last year, don't worry. She's nice." Jacob said reassuringly. "Looks like Killua's in my PE class. Lucky him. And in the advanced maths class. Fancy."

"Is their a way I could transfer to Gon's classes?"

"I'll try not to take that personally. You could, possibly. But it will be a huge fuss. Why?"

"I just...want to..um.." The long haired boy hesitated.

"I'm sure you guys will be fine being separated for two classes. Besides you don't have PE or Maths today. So give it a few days and see how it is, otherwise administrations will blow you off."

"Hey, Jacob. Where's our next class?" Gon said showing him his timetable.

"English, so… 1A. It's just in main building, past the toilets next to the main door and will be the first classroom you will see on the right."

"Thanks! Hey, what do you do at lunch? We should meet up" Gon says enthusiastically, turning to his friend who doesn't seem to happy about that idea.

"Thanks, it means a lot to me. Really. But I can't, I've got something to do." he says looking away. "Besides, I'm pretty sure your bodyguard would bite my head off." The blond boy gave a cheeky wink to Killua.

"huh?" Gon looked to his white haired friend confused. Who seemed visually angry by the other boy's comment. Normally he's pretty cool headed. ''Hey are you okay?'

"Yeah… I'm just…" Killua stuttered. Suddenly the bell rings.


"Saved by the bell" Killua thought to himself. The students around him all start to pick up their bags and tuck in their chairs.

"See ya Jacob! Thanks for all your help!" The spiky haired boy said enthusiastically.

"No problem, see you around" He winked smugly as he walks off to his next class. He's far too arrogant. Both the boys pick up their bags and begin walking to their next class.

"He's nice." The boy said.

"Eh… I don't trust him." Killua said folding his arms. It's the truth. He doesn't trust him. There's something about him which grinds the young hunter's gears. Maybe it's how smart he always thinks he is. Maybe it's the way he talks to the teachers. Maybe it's the fact he's getting to close to Gon. What? Why would it be that?

"What, why?" Gon said.

"You can never be too careful." The bitter teen said shortening his thought process. No point in rambling to him. They walk in to the main building again, this time with more direction and confidence.

"Sure I get that. But could please for once not be so short tempered with the only person helping us?"

"If I left you to your own devises, you would be inducted into some cult right now. You can't just trust everyone blindly."

"Can you at least pretend to be nice?" Gon pleaded.

"Why should we care what he thinks about us?" Killua reasons. "I'm mean sure he could be useful. But there so many other ways of getting information. Most with fewer broom sticks up theirs asses."

"Yeah, but I thought he could be a new friend." Gon smiled as he walked into the classroom. The boy twitched when he heard that. He didn't know why. He knew he didn't own Gon. He knew that a lot of people had a lot of different friends. But he hated the thought of needing the share him. Wait? No he didn't. Why should he care? Gon can do what he wants. Like he said, he doesn't own him. whatever. No problem, he can go off with his new friend, paint each others nails or whatever. Doesn't matter. Killua dug his nails into his palms as he clenched his fists following his friend into the class room. But it does matter, to him. No matter how much he tries to lie to himself, if he's completely honest with himself. He does not like it. Okay, so maybe he just doesn't like Jacob. Sure. Gon's his friend and it's natural for someone to not want their friend caught up in the wrong crowd. He doesn't know why this all such a head ache.

"Okay class! Before we start we have 2 new students, make them feel welcome. We'll be picking up where we left off yesterday with oral language techniques. I'll speak to you two privately and try and get you up to speed." The man at the front of the class commanded.

"Now that wasn't so bad." The spiky haired boy said gleefully walking with his friend into the cafeteria. "I thought all these lesson things were going to be boring things like maths and stuff. But so far it's been fun"

Killua checks the time on his phone.

12:45pm

"Yeah I thought you'd be good at English and stuff. You've been on a lucky streak with today's classes. English, Geography, Biology and Social Science. Might as well call it the Freecs special." The long haired teen said as they both found what looked to be the line to get food.

"Who knows, maybe I'm really good at this school thing." Gon said cheerfully. "Then I'll be known as the smart one."

"I wouldn't go that far." The boy suited boy said chuckling. " The subjects this far have been in your favour but next class is History, let's see how you face when you're not in your element." He said devilishly.

"I can do history" The black haired boy proclaimed as they their food slapped on a tray and handed to them.

"Oh yeah? What year did the hunter association establish in?" Killua asked teasingly.

"18..17?…" The boy flustered as they moved to find a table.

"Oh, come on dude!" He continued to poke fun.

"Hey, I knew it once. I just forgot."

"I'm embarrassed to be near you right now." The hunter said as he panned the large room for a couple empty seats. He can't see any. He turned to Gon and he's having trouble as well. "Well this is a problem." Nearly instantly after he said that Gon walked off and sat down on the floor, leaning against the wall.

"Problem solved!" Gon said sitting on the floor looking pleased with himself.

"You're such a dork" He said sitting next to his friend on the floor.

"And now we are dorks together" The boy in the white shirt said eating whatever the hell they've been served. It looks like mashed potato, but also has peas carrots and chopped up sausage. Whatever it is it's not fine dining. But food is food. Killua eats with his friend ignoring the strange looks they're getting. Both the boys finish their lunch and look for the place they put their trays. There seems to be some stacked pile so they get up and add theirs to it. Even if it's not the right pile, it's not their problem now.

"Now what?" Gon asks looking around for something to do.

"I'm not sure, we still have half an hour until lunch is over. I think we just sit around and do nothing" He replied.

"I hate that." the boy strops.

"Well, let's go exploring then." The long haired teen said as an idea to keep Gon entertained. His eyes light up.

"Where?" He asks.

"Well, we could walk around the corridors again, but that didn't go to well last time." Killua suggested.

"And it's boring, let's go see the field and stuff." The boy said.

"As you wish." Killua follows his friend out. He's starting to get a feel for the layout. He can at least find his way out now with out too much trouble. They leave out of the main entrance, back around the main building to see block E and F in front of the field. They walk cast all the classrooms finally revealing the field. The field is actually pretty big. There's quite a few goal posts placed around and trees placed around the outside of the field.

"This place is pretty cool." Gon admired. Killua could help but stare at his friend who's so happy by such a simple thing. But he then realizes Gon's expression change to one of recognition.

"Hey, look it's Jacob. Over there by those trees!" Gon said excited. He was right. Jacob was there with another smug look on his face talking to 3 boys nearly double his height and triple his weight. All wearing the standard black school uniform.

"Hey, let's take a closer look" The white haired hunter suggested. Gon was already 3 steps ahead of him because he ran over to the closest tree in the class room block and climbed it. He's even in zetsu probably through force of habit. Killua finally caught onto what he was doing and climbed the tree as well. From there they jumped from tree to tree. They've gotten pretty good at this technique becoming completely silent and they manage their momentum well enough to not shake the trees. The boys stop in the tree just above them. They have no clue about the two hunters above them.

"Look, all I'm saying is. I've laid my cards on the table, how about you?" The blond boy said not being intimidated by the much larger boys in front of him. "Seems like you've got nothing."

"That." The largest boy in the middle said. " Or we could beat you so bad you'll be drinking your food out of a straw for the rest of your life" He said menacingly.

"How can Jacob be so confident when he's clearly physically outclassed?"

"Here's why I know that's an empty threat, much like your head" The boy with the red headphones said "If I get hurt, there will be an investigation. And that's what you're trying to avoid in the first place. Right?" He said taking a step forward.

"Not quite." The middle boy spoke. "We don't care if there's an investigation. My dad is the superintendent, and even the principle is scared of him." He said confidently as an expression of shock washed over the blond boy's face. He was pushed to the ground, having his headphones fall and lie at the feet of the 3 bullies. They trample over them as they walking over to tower above the blond.

"Back off." Killua heard a familiar voice below him. He looked beside him in the trees and his friend isn't there. But below beside Jacob.

"G..gon" Jacob said looking even more shocked. " Run dude. What are you doing?"

"Gon." Killua said dropping from the trees " Let's not interfere with other people's business."

"Yeah dude." The blond boy said from the ground. "listen to Killua. Back off."

Gon wasn't listening to anyone. As he stood between the 3 large muscular men and Jacob with a determined look in his eye. Crap.

"Gon. You can't help. Remember?" The white haired hunter said worried that his friend will blow their cover.

"It's okay Killua" Gon said not turning away from the 3 boys who all look rather amused by the situation. " I'm not going to fight them."

The 3 boys start laughing. "So what are you going to do then huh?" The middle one spoke again pushing Gon onto the ground next to Jacob. Things turned red for Killua. Before he could he a handle on himself he already ran over and kicked the middle guy in the ribs break 3 of them. Then one of the other boys throw a punch at him but he caught it without flinching. He twisted his arm around the boy's back and snapped it cleaning in two different places. He let him drop to the floor with 2 boys riving in pain holding their injuries not even processing what happened. The third boy tried to run but Killua caught him and grabbed him by the back of his shirt. As the third boy faced him. Scared. Pleading for him not to do anything. Tears gushing from his eyes. The enraged hunter whacked him around the head knocking him out cold. He then walked back to the two boys on the ground. Only now does the white haired teen realize what he did. Gon just looks upset not saying a word.

"Th..thanks man." Jacob said laughing slightly with dirt on his face and his hair ruffed up. " I guess I owe you-"

Before the blond boy could finish his sentence he was picked up by the shirt and slammed against a tree behind him being pinned by Killua.

"Don't thank me. I didn't do a fucking thing for you. I could give a shit about you. The only reason I did what I did was because of Gon who for some reason sees something in you other than a smug, arrogant piece of shit. So don't thank me. Because I only did it for Gon. And if you so much look at him funny you will down on the floor with them. Do you understand?"

Jacob just nodded. Scared of what the white haired boy will do. Until, Killua felt something around him. It's his friend hugging him from behind.

"I'm sorry Killua, I shouldn't have gotten involved. It's my fault. Please don't hurt him" Gon pleaded. And with that the hunter dropped Jacob and faced his friend.

"No… Don't blame yourself." He said realizing what he's done. " Come on, let's get these guys help." He paused. "Jacob."

"Yeah" The blond said almost recovering from his previous shake down.

"Could you please help us?" The teen said now he has cooled down.

"The first day! The first bloody day! Didn't take you long did it?" Leorio said waiting outside the principle's office. Killua just looked up and gave him an evil glare.

"You had one thing to do here. Just go to class, and act normal. And you somehow fuck it up." The man in the blue suite kept raving.

"I'm sorry Dad. Are you going to ground me?" The white haired boy said sarcastically.

"Guys, let's just get through this, you can bicker later." Kurapika said trying to defuse the situation.

"Where is Gon?" The doctor changed subjects.

"He didn't want to be here." Killua staring at the floor.

"I don't want to be here." Leorio folded his arms looking away. "Why can't you two just be here?"

"Because our 'son' just broke an arm, 3 ribs and gave someone a concussion. Believe it or not that's not a common occurrence and we need to appear like we're taking it seriously. " The blond explained.

"Believe you me, we will be taking it seriously." The upset doctor sneered.

"Save the dad act for the principle." The teen spoke.

"Listen here you little-"

"The Kornferts." The lady in a red suite said in the door frame. "Please come in."

Leorio and Killua just stared at each other intensely before everyone stood up and entered the office. The office was pretty typical. Filled with photos, awards and nick knacks. The lady sat down at the desk and the 3 hunters sat on the 3 seats on the opposite side of the desk. Killua is sandwich between his two supposed parents.

"Nice to see you again Doctor." She says shaking Leorio's hand. " And Mr Kornfert, good to finally meet you." She says shaking Kurapika's hand.

"I wish we could have met of better terms." He replied politely.

"Yes, Now I'm sure you know why you're here." She began " 3 Students where bought into the school nurse and then needed to be transferred to the hospital. When questioned 2 of them confirm that they where attacked by your son, Killua. The third couldn't respond because he's still unconscious "

"We're aware." the blond says, doing most of the talking out of all of the hunters there.

"Now it's common for young adults, such as your son who have been through traumatic events to have unprovoked outbursts of aggressions but if he can't control himself in normal classroo-"

"Unprovoked?" The doctor raised one eyebrow. "The story we got from Killua is that those three boys where shoving Gon and some other kid around. We don't condone his actions but that is hardly unprovoked, wouldn't you say?"

"I would be hesitant to believe such claims, and it's natural for a troubled teen to justify his violent tendencies. But parents should be more sceptical." She dismissed.

"Are you trying to say he lied?" Leorio said starting to get more aggressive.

"I'm just looking at the facts, Doctor." She matched his aggression. "Those boys are exemplary students with flawless records, I personally can vouch for them. They are all good kids and I would trust each and everyone of them, your son on the other hand has shown and already admitted to some heinous behaviour"

"Gon also said that this was the case." Kurapika intervened. "In fact, if it wasn't for him we wouldn't know that Killua has done any of this until you called us in. "

"ahh yes. The spiky haired one." She began " Teachers report those two are as thick as thieves. Is it really too much of a stretch propose that Gon is simply lying for the sake of his brother? "

"well yeah.. but-" Leorio was cut off.

"Then I believe that solves that issue then doesn't it?" She smile smugly.

"Now in terms of punishment. Normally this will call for a suspension, if not an expulsion. But seeing your situation. A troubled child with sudden changes. I'm willing to let this all be swept under the rug on the condition that Killua attends mandatory counselling 2 times a week after school" She said. "And if this ever happens again: I will not show the same leniency."

The 3 hunters didn't say a word.

"Thank you all for coming and wish you a good rest of you day" She said as they all stand up with equally disgruntled looks on their faces and leave the office. They all start walking to the car park just outside of the school.

"Despite her clear bias. I must admit we got off easy on that one" The blond man said walking to the car.

"You can say that again. You send 3 boys to the hospital and get let off with a warning." The doctor said in disbelief.

"She knew what was up." Killua said not looking at anyone. "One of the boys in the hospital was the superintendent's son, she probably knew what happened but she's just protecting her job."

"Consider yourself lucky. But don't go thinking you off the hook..." Leorio began. The young hunter then knew that it will be a long ride home.


Gon was lying on the double bed listening to some pop music blasting from his phone while he looks up from at the ceiling in a black T shirt and brown shorts. Gon didn't know the time but if he had to guess it would be around 8 but he didn't care too much. On his bedside table was an empty dinner plate when they left him food. They all assume that he's up here being mad, or sad or whatever. But he's not. Because he's not thinking. He's just tuning out and listening to music. Gon happily continued this trend, lightly humming to Katy Perry when he heard a knock on the door and then his friend walking in. He's still in his uniform even though Gon got changed out of his a while ago. Killua hopped on the bed and lied down and looked up at the ceiling with his head by Gon feet and his head by Killua's feet. They sat there silent for a few minutes top and tail until the boy in the uniform spoke.

"You mad?" He said still looking up at the ceiling with the same mindless pop beat in the background.

"A little." The spiky haired hunter said bluntly.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped and I shouldn't have yelled at Jacob." Killua said with a sigh.

"He's probably scared to be my friend now." Gon said in deep thought.

"He wont. Seems like nothing can scare him." The boy said as his long hair laid on the bed spreading out like a star.

"I don't know why you hate him."

"I don't."

"What was it again? 'smug, arrogant piece of sh-'"

"Okay I get it."

"So, what's your deal? Honestly. Please."

"Honestly? Well, I guess." The white haired boy breathed in. "I'm jealous."

"Jealous?" Gon said looking up at his friend. His friend did the same. "of what?"

"I don't know, of him. How he is with you. Normally I'm the one you go to for help. But today I was useless." The uniformed hunter admitted. The spiky haired boy thought for a second and then began giggling. "What?" Killua asked in a huff.

"Nothing, it's just I thought I didn't need to keep reminding that you're my best friend entire the entire world." Gon continued to laugh as his friend turned red.

"I thought you've stopped saying embarrassing stuff like that!" the red faced boy yelled.

"Well apparently you forgot!" The spiky haired boy continued to laugh until it came to a natural end. "Can please promise to at least pretend to be nice to Jacob?"

"I'm sure I can manage that." He agreed.

"So how did your meeting go? You still at school?" Gon asked.

"Well, the good news is I'm not suspended. Bad news is I need to go to some stupid counselling 2 times a week." He complained.

"Well could be worse." Gon said as he stood up.

"Yeah, I guess." the other boy replied thinking over the events.

"You're pain to get up so I say let's call it an early night." Gon said.

"What?! It's not even 9 yet." The less responsible one moaned.

"That's why I said to call it an early night." He as he went through his draws trying to find his pyjamas.

"Okay" He conceded " I'm going to have a shower then" He said as he walked off. Gon got changed into his nightwear, jumps into bed grabbing his phone playing games until his friend gets to bed. Soon after his friend walks in wearing the same boxers and singlet as last night.

"you're going to change your clothes in the morning right?" Gon said putting his phone away. Killua flicks the light off.

"Yes mother." He said as he flicks off the light and jumps into bed. Gon rolls over to his friend and puts and arm around him hugging him tightly.

"You're my best friend in the world." he whispers softly across the pillow.

"You too Gon."
