This fic has now officially come to an end. I can concentrate on the other fics I'm making again. Don't worry. This won't be the last time I make an hxh fic.^^ (Despite getting flamed that it sucked big time. Next time though, if anyone's going to flame me, please, just PLEASE tell me why! I would really want to know what I did wrong to get the "Dis Sucked" review. *grumbles foul language under her breath*)

~*~

Five years have gone by, and it still remains a mystery to me as to how I got where I am now with this wonderful red-haired man beside me on the bed. I've been staring at the ceiling for quite some time now. He stirs beside me.

"Irumi-tan… Shouldn't you be asleep by now…" he drawled sleepily.

I can't blame him for being so sleepy since last night… MOU! It was all his fault! He's still as insatiable as ever! But… that's why I love him.

"I was just thinking."

I raise my hand and looked at my ring finger. There was now a simple gold band on it. I smile as I think of that day. He raises my hand to his lips before giving me a light peck on the lips.

"You really shouldn't when you should be resting… You wouldn't want to get sick now would you?" he says with genuine concern.

He's mellowed down over the years. Then he smirks. "After all, we're going to have a lot of fun pestering little Gon tomorrow." Well, that doesn't mean that he still hasn't stopped the annoying behavior of being annoying.

Besides, Gon is "little" anymore. He's grown almost as tall as Hisoka in a span of five years and so has Killua. He and Killua are now… how should I say this? They're now "officially" together. Yes, take it as you will. It's true. I've seen it with my own eyes when I just walked into their room to deliver a stupid little note for the magician. That was certainly a predicament I wouldn't want happening again anytime soon. Clothes were littered everywhere. The bed was creaking. But those weren't what got my immediate attention. The sight of two half-naked teens fumbling on the bed nearly made my nose bleed. Now I know how embarrassed Killua felt when he burst in on Hisoka and me.

A stray thought enters my mind. How will father react this time? After all, Killua is the heir to the Zoldick family. Either way, I suppose I would support the kid despite the consequences. I still have this habit of looking out for him except that now, I don't just do it as my family duty but I do it because I truly care. My, my. I still can't believe I've changed more these few years than I have all my life.

I run my fingers through Hisoka's tousled hair as he sighs contentedly, pulling me close, burying his face in my chest before drifting off to sleep. I sigh and bury my face on his hair, breathing in his scent. I still can't believe that I've been in heaven for five years.

The blonde-haired boy and that lanky man… what were their names again? Oh, yes. Kurapika and Leorio… They've gone their separate ways for a while. The Kuruta had finally settled his business with the Genei Ryodan. The details about it are vague but it's not for anyone else to know. Leorio had succeeded in becoming a doctor despite the careless attitude. They got back together just a few months ago. Their bond still as strong as before if not stronger. Or so Killua said.

I chuckle at my own thoughts. After five years of bliss, my thoughts have turned sappy and romantic. Had I been like this when I was still a cold-hearted assassin, I would have thought that I've lost it. Well, not like I'm not an assassin now. I still kill people you know. One has got to make a living. I'm just… choosey about who I kill now.

If mother could see me now… Waitaminit! She does. Hisoka and I have gone to visit her and father thrice in the past five years. Hisoka still finds it amusing to visit my family. He especially enjoyed my little sister's attempts to kill him in his sleep and annoying the hell out of my tub of lard brother, Miruki. Well, I can't blame him from being unable to not rub it in that Miruki was fat and blubbery… I can't believe I thought of the word blubbery. It sounds too… childishly goody-goody… Oh well.

Now where was I? Oh yes. Hisoka had laughed about my romantic inclinations but… then he would show me about how much more experienced he was about being romantic…

I love this despicably loveable magician so much. I can't imagine living my life without him. Life wouldn't be worth living without my magician by my side for eternity.

There he goes again. He's doing that introspective thinking thingy again. Oh well. I can't really stop him. He seems to do that a lot. Hehe. Well, so do I. Only when he's not looking of course.

I pretend to sleep in his arms as he gazes at the ceiling. Well, there's nothing interesting about the ceiling. I've tried it once and ended up throwing cards at it just to see some sort of decoration. It was plain white. Was… Now it's white with a lot of holes… Hehe… I couldn't help it.

Just like the time I couldn't help but get back at Irumi's little brother and sent Irumi to walk in on him and Gon. Irumi didn't know that I planted a little camera-like device in that note and had the entire thing recorded. My love was appalled and angry at first and that was because he nearly had a nosebleed but then he sat down and watched with me anyway. That was before we decided that doing the real thing was better than watching.

Well, the little brat had the nerve to auction the pictures to his own family. It was a good thing that I managed to buy the negatives as well as the photos before he had the chance. Well, I'm not like him. I'm a good brother-in-law. I got some pretty interesting pictures of him and Gon. Too bad for him. I already sent them to his parents. He'll never know what hit him. I wonder how they'll react. Oh. Note to self: Prepare my video camera. It's definitely a scene worth immortalizing. Hehehe…

I just love it when Irumi runs his fingers through my hair. It's a soothing feeling. I can't help but relax under his silken touch. I nuzzled my nose on his chest. His scent is intoxicating.

That Kuruta boy finally got what he wanted. Revenge. Too bad. I wasn't able to fight with Kuroro. Oh well. There's still Gon to look forward to. Irumi would have a hissy fit if I said that statement out loud. That other guy on the other hand… what was his name again? Oh yeah, Leorio. He got to become a doctor and now he and the Kuruta are having the time of their lives… I think. That's how I heard it anyway.

Irumi has changed much over the past few years. He's become romantically inclined to many things. He's become caring and sappy. But I love him anyway. He still kills people though so I guess there are just some things you can't change.

Visited the Zoldick residence a few times. I can't really believe that Irumi has a younger brother THAT WIDE!!! Big tub of lard! The little sister, now that's the cute one. She's tried to kill me for about… umm… err… I lost count already. I enjoy watching her try anyway.

So where was I? Oh yeah. I laughed about Irumi's sappiness. Then I proceeded to show him just how ridiculous it was but then… we always end up getting perfectly sappy anyway. Oh well. At least it was enjoyable… to us anyway.

I love this self-contradicting assassin so much. I can't imagine a life without him by my side. Hell, nothing would be worth living for without my gorgeous assassin branded as mine forever.

Author's notes:

Well, peeps! This is the last chapter of "Assassin for a Lover." I've delayed ending this fic for a long time. (You've probably noticed that some chapters were merely fillers.) Now that I've put up this ending, I can start concentrating on making my other fics whole.

I'm sorry to say that I'm not making any sequel from this. I'm sure anyone who would LOVE to flame me is now whooping out in joy.

Anyway, the first POV is Irumi's and the next one is Hisoka's. Their line of thinking is almost parallel but not quite.

I'm really sorry for my sarcasm but I just feel really bad and let down. Good bye.
