Disclaimer: HunterXHunter doesn't belong to me, they belong to Yoshihiro Togashi and some other people. The title is not mine, too. It's from (one of) the HxH Vocal Album.

My horribly corrupted plot bunny ran away and I had to get a new one. This one's a fluffy pink bunny named Pochi-chan. Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.

Kurapica is MALE.

Note: This takes place after Killua and Gon make the bet that whoever gets to have the least money in two weeks will have to do whatever the other wants him to do, and yes, they're still looking for Greed Island. The four are here, and a couple of Geneiryoudan members, too, if I could manage to get their characters right... AND, this is my FIRST, I repeat, MY FIRST HxH fanfic... so... well... you get the point...


Hunters in Wonderland
by Reia Shiioru[co-written with RikaZ]

WARNINGS: This fic is a parody that might lead to AU-ness, OOC-ness and shounen ai to yaoi. I've added three new characters to this story, and they're MINE. This was a product of too much Coca-cola. It really *does* have adverse effects on the mind when taken five 1.5L straight... Read it anyway!!!

Chapter 4: Kirai

When Hyso-cat finally dropped them off near the lake, he vanished.
"No wonder he vanished," Gon said. "He's a Cheshire cat!"
"And so?" Killua said, not getting Gon's point.

"From the story, Alice in Wonderland," Gon said.

"So you mean to say that we're in some other world, like that Alice?"

"Maybe."

"This is a strange, strange world..."

Leoryo tugged at the leash's collar.

"And you're a strange, strange creature," Illumi said. "Now, get on your feet." Illumi started pulling on the leash.
"Gakk--!!! You put on the collar too tight!"

"I don't care," came the answer.

"No wonder Killua's so afraid of you!"

"Killua?"

"Killua," Gon said again. "I won the bet, remember?"

Killua didn't respond. Gon nudged him. "Oi, Killua. Are you awake?"

"Yeah..." came the response. It was already night time.

"I won--"

"I heard."

"Then why--"

"I was thinking of something. I mean, we saw Hysoka here, so that would mean that we're not the only ones transported to this world..."

"Oh..."

Gon looked away and set his eyes on the lake. There was silence.

"Well?"

Gon jumped. "You surprised me!"

"You were too silent," Killua said, shrugging. He crawled toward Gon and sat beside him. "What did you want to say?"

Gon smiled. His cheeks were stained pink. Gon thanked the gods that it was night time and Killua wouldn't notice.

"Close your eyes."

Killua stared at Gon-- or at least, what he could make out of him in the dark, cloudy night. "What?"

"I said--"

"I know what you said, but why? I mean it's already dark--"

"Just close your eyes! You're probably going to use Gyo when I--"

"OK, OK! I'm closing them... sheesh..."

Silence again. The breeze passed by, rustling the leaves of the tree they were under.

"Gon, what are you planning to do?"

A finger was placed on Killua's mouth. "Shhh..."

"Be quiet."

Killua felt something coming closer.

"Don't you dare use nen, Killua."

Killua frowned. Something was breathing down his neck. Or someone.

The next thing Killua felt was soft, warm lips pressing down on his...

He shifted his position.

Kurapica couldn't get some sleep. Something didn't feel right. He never did get to turn down the Queen's offer. Especially when the Queen turned out to be his employer's daughter. Which also made his situation more... difficult to understand. He got up from his bed and walked out of the room. He was thankful for the three girls who had helped him find a good place to stay for the meantime. Still, they were acting quite strangely.

/"That's one, but where are the three others?"/

/"We've got to find them!"/

/"But the Queen--"/

/"The Queen doesn't have to know, Petit!"/

/"Kurapica is here, safe and unharmed. Yet."/

/"We're going to be in big trouble!"/

/"AH! I remember meeting one of them in the Honey Field!"/

/"Why didn't you say that before?!"/

/"I forgot! I'm sorry!"/

He didn't mean to eavesdrop, but he couldn't help it. He just prayed that they did not use Nen to find out if he did. What do these females have in mind? Where did he fit in all these? And who are the 'three others'? Who was 'the one in the Honey Field'?

A thought struck him. It was just a millisecond, but he suddenly knew. Three people... From almost half a year ago...

"Gon..."

No response.

"Gon," this time, more firmly. Still, no response. "Gon, I don't hate you. Come down. Please?" Killua pleaded. "I didn't mean to push you in the water-- you surprised me!"

Still, silence answered him. Nothing from Gon.

"Gon, don't be such a child!" Killua yelled. "I don't hate you for what you did, okay."

A sob. Killua distinctly heard a sob. "You hate me..." Gon said, barely audible. "You knew I might have drowned, considering our size right now," he continued, sobbing. "That's why you pushed--"

"For the last time, Gon! I don't hate you and I didn't push you in the water because of that!!"

"..."

The sky started to change color. The sun was rising.

Leoryo and the strange white "Rabbit" who he thought was Killua's older brother did not stop walking through the night until the first rays of the sun reflected on the shiny walls of the Crystal Castle. The nights walk proved fulfilling. They have arrived at their destination.

"Whoa, what kind of castle *is* that?" Leoryo asked Illumi, observing the Castle's black walls. He adjusted the collar of the leash, it was getting a little too itchy.

Illumi looked at him, his cold stare piercing through Leoryo's skin. "You are not in a position to ask," Illumi said, his voice matching his stare. Leoryo shuddered. He now understood fully why Killua was afraid of his older brother.
