Author's notes: I won't tolerate flames that tell me that they don't approve of Yaoi. Well, if you looked at the genre and warning, you'd know what you get. If you don't like yaoi, leave, otherwise feel welcome to continue and please review^^.
Got another idea for a fic! That's good! Err… BAD! I haven't finished with these fics yet! Wah! Bad Hisoka! *whacks the red-head and gets bombarded with needles by the protective Irumi* Why did you have to inspire me so much??!!! WAH!
Alright… this is weird… I had thought I was really stumped but as soon as I finished the previous chapter, I started doing this one, the next one and the last one all at the same time… this is weird but I'll still be putting them after indefinite periods of time. Hehehe.
This is almost the end, my friends.
Thanks to:

Cherrie – hi! You finally got chapter six and seven up! Wai! Update soon! ^^

That night, Gon lied in bed. He stared blankly at the ceiling, unable to sleep. Tomorrow they were all going to be apart again. He wondered if Killua would leave too. Then he would be alone…
He didn't like entertaining thoughts of being left alone by his friends especially Killua. He glanced over at his best friend's bed. He blushed when he discovered that he wasn't the only one who had the intention of looking. Killua blushed as well.
"Ah…"
"Gon… What are you going to do after this?"
"Ah… I don't know… Somehow, I can't shake the feeling that I don't want to be left behind by everyone. It's scary."
"Gon…"
"What about you?"
"I don't know what to do yet. I'm still debating whether or not to retake the Hunter exam. Besides, that's still in a few months. There's plenty of free time. So if it's okay with you, I'd rather be with you while I decide and even way after I decide…" Killua blushed at his own words. They sounded too sappy for his own tastes.
He was taken aback when Gon flung himself at him. "Arigato, Killua-san. You're the best friend anyone could ever have," Gon said as he hugged his white-haired friend. Killua smiled and hugged him back.
"Does this mean… that we'll always be together?" Gon tentatively asked.
"Hai. Forever. I promise, Gon."
Gon and Killua slept in each other's arms on the same bed that night.

Kurapika slowly packed his things. How was he going to tell Leorio that they had to break up? He still had the duty of avenging his people looming over his shoulder. He would not let the Genei Ryodan get away so easily.
"Leorio…"
Leorio looked up from the magazine he was reading. "What is it, Kurapika?"
"I, I think we should… break up."
"WHAT?!" The man grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him. "Is there something wrong? I'll do anything to fix it! Or… MASAKA! Is it someone else?"
Kurapika shook his head. "No… I just, I, we can't… I still have to avenge my people, Leorio. And I can't ask you to come with me. You still have you dreams to fulfill." He turned his back to the man, holding back his tears. Silence filled the room.
He was startled when Leorio pulled him into his arms. "Holding you like this… I hope it will not be the last time. No matter how long, I'm willing to wait for you."
Kurapika couldn't help but cry in relief as Leorio held him gently all night long.

Kikyou sat beside her husband. They had to go back. Ojiisama had phoned them that there was client in need of their services. She sniffed as she thought of how much she was going to miss her eldest son. Well, come to think of it, she had never really known him. She regretted not knowing who he really was. She sighed.
Silva patted her back. "Don't worry. No matter what, Irumi will always be a Zoldick and our son."

Hisoka wrapped his arms around the assassin's waist as they danced under the pale moon. Irumi had really surprised him tonight by wearing a rather arousing set of clothes. He was wearing a blue skintight sleeveless top, and incredibly short shorts.
Hisoka licked his lips. He was never going to let go of Irumi. Everything with Irumi felt just right. He promised himself that he would always keep him no matter what. Feh… Since when had he become so, so… righteous and honorable? He would've laughed right there but it would've broken the mood.
Then he pulled Irumi to sit down on the sand with him. He pulled out a small velvet box. "Irumi-tan…" Irumi looked at him, smiling brightly, the wind blowing through his hair. Hisoka couldn't help but smile. He really loved this assassin. He pulled a golden band from the velvet box and slid it on the assassin's ring finger. "Will you love me and stay by my side no matter what for the rest of you life?"
Well, it sounded corny but this would have to do until they get to a real church. Irumi gazed at the ring for a few moments, assessing. Then he looked at the magician. Hisoka felt a lump in his throat. His heart was beating so hard that he thought it would burst.
Then Irumi smiled and embraced him. "Of course I will. Did you really think I would say no? Baka."
Hisoka couldn't help but put on a self-satisfied grin. Tomorrow, he was leaving this place and he was taking his love with him. He was giddy with happiness. The music from their portable radio was playing in the background…
"…I love you more than that's on the planet
Movin' walkin' talkin' breathing
You know it's true
Oh baby it's so funny
You almost don't believe it
As every voice is hanging from the silence
Lamps are hanging from the ceiling
Like a lady to her good manners
I'm tied up to this feeling
Underneath your clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl honey…"
"I love you, Irumi-tan."
"I love you, Hisoka."

Author's notes:
This is definitely one of the sappiest chapters I've ever made in all of my fics! It's so sappy that I can't even believe I wrote it. But then again, I'm a romance writer. Hehehe.
