Irumi's cheeks must've turned permanently red. He felt like a ripe tomato from all the "perfect couple" comments people were giving him and Hisoka. The magician seemed to be taking it better than he was.
"You know, at this rate, you're going to make the tomatoes jealous."
Irumi, if possible turned even redder and became flustered. "H, H, Hisoka!"
"It's true! You're redder than a ripe tomato!" Hisoka teased.
Irumi's hands flew to his cheeks and felt the heat on his face. His heart was beating so fast. He usually wasn't like this but the magician's presence alone seemed to keep coaxing these unfamiliar reactions from him.
An old couple passed by and commented, "What a nice looking couple! They look so perfect together!"
Irumi looked down. Hisoka smirked, pulled him closer, catching him off guard and kissed him. Irumi's immediate reaction was to wrap his arms around Hisoka's neck and start kissing back.
A teenager standing nearby said, "Oh, I wish I had a boyfriend just as romantic…" Then she sighed, dreamily into space.
~*~
Killua had finally found the "perfect" camera for his plans. Irumi wasn't going to like this. Hell, the rest of the family would be much worse.
But what the heck? It wasn't like they were going to see it, not until they pay up of course. He'd bet that Hisoka would beat them all to it of course, the hentai.
The only thing left is to find the target. The two of them would either be at the beach or somewhere in town.
Gon was flashing him these looks. He looked a little nervous. Well, who could blame him? Killua wouldn't tell him just what he had planned.
Then he spotted his targets. Hisoka, the hentai put his hand right where it shouldn't be, earning a loud WHACK from a flustered Irumi.
"HENTAI!"
The people around them just smiled and chuckled. Why not? They looked like newlyweds. That did not sound good to Killua's ears. But that didn't stop him from clicking away with his new camera.
~*~
Kikyou Zoldick prided herself for being beautiful. Ever since she had fully healed, Silva had taken the time to accompany her everywhere except when he had a job of course. It was rare that he had a job since Irumi usually took the full brunt of the work.
She stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her long raven hair flowing down in waves, her midnight black eyes staring back at her as she studied herself. She was in a dress shop trying on different clothes. She couldn't seem to decide whether or not to get the white one or the black one. That was until she saw a familiar figure pass by the shop window.
She dropped both dresses in shock. Silva looked at her, concerned.
"What is it, Kikyou?"
She raised a trembling finger at the window and resisted the urge to screech. "That, that was…"
~*~
Silva, curious as to what his wife saw, turned around and looked at what she was pointing at. His jaw dropped at what he saw.
He did not just see Irumi in a dress, a very revealing one at that. And was he clinging on to that magician of a client of his? Silva shook his head. Irumi didn't swing that way. Neither did he show his emotions. The Irumi he and his wife were seeing was different from the stoic-faced boy they often dealt with. This one showed a lot of life. He was smiling, laughing and hell, he was even blushing.
Then when he saw the red-haired man lean over and kiss Irumi on the lips, he saw red. This has gone far enough. He was going to get to the bottom of this farce.
~*~
Irumi smiled into Hisoka's gentle kiss. He was getting used to the magician's affectionate attention to his person. It was sweet.
Well, his parents might not approve and might find it sickening that he was becoming such a romantic. Speak of the devil…
Irumi's eyes widened in shock and he broke off the kiss. "Otousan!"
Silva Zoldick was standing outside the dress shop, his eyes screaming murder and Kikyou was right beside him. Hisoka seemed to find this situation amusing for he stepped back and smirked.
"Irumi, explain yourself."
"I, I, I, I, I…" Irumi stammered, looking distressed. He didn't know how to explain the deal he had gotten himself into.
Hisoka chose that moment to wrap his arms around his waist. Kikyou gritted her teeth and was about to say something when Silva raised a hand.
"Well? How are you going to explain all this?!" Silva snapped.
Irumi just looked down and bit his lip, his eyes not daring to meet his father's angry ones. He knew that he should explain it to them. But he couldn't. They were going to forbid him from seeing the magician again. He was getting too attached to Hisoka. It was a bad thing and he knew he should stop, for the sake of his family's interest. But he kept his mouth stubbornly shut.
Silva sighed and walked away with Kikyou in tow, who was glancing back worriedly at Irumi. As soon as they rounded the corner, Irumi threw himself into Hisoka's arms and grabbed onto him tightly, refusing to cry. It hurt. But he couldn't seem to let the tears fall freely. Only a muffled sob escaped his delicate lips and to Hisoka that was already enough.
~*~
Killua looked at the scene before him in silence. He felt a little bit sorry for Irumi. He always worked hard for their parents' approval yet they were never really content with him.
Gon gave him a sad smile as they watched Hisoka whisk Irumi away in his arms.
~*~
Hisoka didn't know what to do. Irumi still hasn't said anything. They were now seated on a high cliff overlooking the beach. It was secluded since it deviated from the pathway the hotel had provided. The sun was already setting.
Irumi stiffled a sob. Hisoka pulled the young assassin closer, trying to offer some sort of comfort. Irumi's entire body trembled.
"Shhh… It's all right, Irumi. Everything's going to be just fine," Hisoka murmured into his ear.
"No. It's not going to be all right!" Irumi said indignantly. "I, my father hates me! I, I, I, I, I…" Then unexpectedly, he burst out crying.
Hisoka was caught totally off guard. Well, he could handle a stoic Irumi, a passionate Irumi, even a flustered Irumi but certainly not a crying and vulnerable Irumi. It broke his heart to see him like this. And it made him realize all the more what he truly felt. Everything seemed clearer at that moment.
"Irumi…"
"I tried so hard… to be what they wanted… but in the end, it was always about Killua and how I could never amount to being what they wanted. I'm just so tired of it all…" Irumi said in between sobs. "Every one just wants to use me… Nobody really cares…" he added quietly.
"Shhh… That's not true, Irumi."
"You're only saying that but you don't mean it." Irumi sighed. "It doesn't matter anymore." He looked up into Hisoka's startled eyes. "Go ahead. Trick me, fool me, lie to me, use me – It doesn't matter. I'm just a puppet, nothing more."
"Irumi…" the magician whispered as he pulled Irumi into his warm embrace. This was what he had aimed for in the beginning but everything's changed and he didn't want it. He didn't want to see the assassin this way.
He pulled away and gazed into Irumi's eyes with tears still spilling down his pale cheeks. The magician wiped them away and slowly lowered to touch his lips gently to the vulnerable young man beneath him.
~*~
Kurapika sighed as he leaned on Leorio's shoulder. They had stopped to sit on a bench overlooking the ocean side. The ocean breeze had this calming effect that even when Leorio put an arm around him and drew him closer, he didn't really mind. It was really relaxing.
They had spent almost the entire day shopping and touring the town. His feet were tired. Surprisingly, they had neither seen Gon and Killua nor Irumi and Hisoka. Which was just as good. They had the entire day to themselves.
~*~
Gon couldn't help but worry about Killua. The white-haired boy was brooding. It did not bode well to him. Gon knew he had to do something to snap Killua out of it but he didn't know what.
"Killua." No response. "Killua!" Still no response.
Gon sighed. Even if he tried to shake Killua, the boy still wouldn't respond. It made him worry to no end. He didn't want Killua staring out with soulless eyes. He wanted Killua to look at him like he always did. He…
On impulse, Gon leaned over and their lips met.

Author's notes: Finally! Something happened between Gon and Killua! I bet you guys were already wondering when it was going to actually happen. Hisoka's already developing feelings for Irumi. Irumi on the other hand is becoming OOC. Silva and Kikyou make their first appearance in this fic. I'm not really an expert so they may all be too OOC. My muse isn't helping much. It's practically dead these past few days. It's lucky that I even got this out at all. Damn INTRODB exam! It killed most of my brain cells! Wah! This may be a little bit fast. When I'm clear-headed again, I'll look it over if I still need to revise it. Tell me if I need to revise it.
Hisoka *glares at her* And I was just about to get some!
Irumi *takes out a few needles* Hentai. And I'm not that emotional.
Nikki *takes out her "THOU-SHALL-NOT-KILL-THE-AUTHOR" placard and uses it as a shield* Wanna bet?
Kuroro *makes an appearance and shakes his head* Why is it that I keep appearing here and not in the story itself? *sweat drops when his question is ignored as Hisoka tries to do something unmentionable to Irumi, only to have the assassin bombard him with needles*
Finally got Hunter X 1999's prologue out. Cool eh? Thanks to lyn. She betaed it for me. She and Candice even went as far as to suggest a lot of things, make up the names, make up the cast and a lot of other things. I really appreciate it guys!
Nikki *finally acknowledges Kuroro and gives him a pat on the back* Don't worry. You've got lots of scenes in my other fic.
Kuroro *lights up* I do?
Nikki *nods* Yup! Hehehehe…
Kuroro *sweat drops* Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
Hisoka *pops out of nowhere* I pity you. Dancho!
Kuroro * Hisoka!
Hisoka * Dancho!
Kuroro * Hisoka!
Nikki *whacks them both on the head with her pitchfork and hurts their asses literally* SHADDAP!
Well as for the usual, please review! Help feed my muse!
PS. Lyn… not a word about the pa-ing-ke incident! I really didn't say anything but hi! It was RED's fault! *points accusingly at a snickering boy at the back* RED! PREPARE TO DYE!!! *private joke*
