Can't Stop Thinking
Chapter 2- The acquaintance
I was in the middle of my dream. I'm with that girl and we are very happy. Just then, she called my name. "Killua…" She smiled and called over and over again. Just then, I felt the sun's warm rays. I slowly opened my eyes to see Gon over my face.
"At last Killua. You've awaken." He said gleefully.
I rubbed my eyes trying to get use to the light. I looked at the clock. It was already 9 in the morning. "It's still too early Gon." I said.
"What do you mean too early? Have you forgotten our schedule that we are going to the woods at seven?" Gon shouted at my ear.
"Oh yeah… I remember. We were suppose to go to the woods." I snapped my fingers as I remembered. "Gomenasai." I apologized.
"We could still go there this afternoon anyway." He smiled.
I smiled at him but I can't stop thinking about that girl I've met yesterday. I can't describe that feeling I've felt. It was special, something that I have never felt before.
I snapped out of my thoughts as Gon told me that we are going to deliver something to their neighbor. I carried the crate which is full with bottles of wine while Gon got the food Aunt Mito will give their neighbors.
"Now be careful with those you two." Aunt Mito told us before we went.
"Ne Gon." I called as we were half way to the place.
"Nani?" he asked.
"How about if we exchange carrying these. This crate is too heavy." I complained.
Gon just stuck out his tongue at me. "You said that you are going to carry that."
As we reached the house, a familiar figure opened the door. It was her. What is she doing here?
"So you must be Gon. Mother told me that you are going to deliver something. Come in." She said.
"Thanks." Gon replied as he entered their house.
I haven't moved an inch from where I stood. The crate was very heavy but I felt that I wasn't carrying anything. 'It's her again… We live near their home…' I thought.
"Are you alright with that?" She asked. "It looks very heavy."
"uh… I'm ok…" I said as I entered their house. "So where should I put this?" I asked.
"Just place it near the table." She answered back. She closed the door as I placed the crate near the round wooden table that she pointed out.
"Have a seat. You two must have been exhausted from carrying those." She insisted.
Near the fire place I sat and beside me was Gon. I looked around the place I feel comfortable. It was sure a simple house. There's a fire place near the living room, a chimney, the dining room is just across the living room. The walls are painted with mint green color. I noticed two doors just behind the wooden shelf where they put their silverwares. 'That must be their bedroom' I thought.
She took out some orange juice from the refrigerator and some ice. She placed them on the table in front of us. "You must be thirsty from the trip." She smiled.
"Not really." I got a glass of orange juice at the table and drank it.
"By the way, I'm Ruki. You are?" she introduced.
"I'm Gon, Gon Freccs, and my companion over here is Killua, Killua Zoldick." Gon said.
"Nice meeting you Gon," She smiled at Gon then she turned to me. "You too Killua."
"Nice meeting you too, Ruki." I smiled back. Ruki… A name I could never forget. After taking my last sip, someone knocked on the door.
"That must be mom." She said as she jumped up from her seat to open the door.
I looked at the doorway; I didn't see a woman but a man. He was carrying some packages. 'He must be a postman' I said to myself.
Ruki signed on something as she took the package and placed it near the crate. "What's that?" Gon asked curiously.
"It's a package from my father to my mother." She said.
"Oh…" Gon said.
There's a look of sadness in Gon's eyes as she mentioned father. For four long years, Gon still haven't found his father. I pat him at his back. Then the look on his face change, a look of determination. I smiled at him. Gon stood up.
"Thank you for the drinks Ruki, but we better go now." Gon smiled at her.
Ruki just nodded. "I hope to see you some other time." She smiled again.
"You'll see us alright… If you are always going to the woods." I said as I stood up and placed my hands behind my head.
"I always go to the woods!" She said. I can see the sparkle in her eyes. I felt that this isn't the last time I'm going to see her.
"Really? Maybe you would like to join us." Gon invited her.
"I have to ask permission first. How about tomorrow?" Ruki said.
Gon and I just nodded. "See you tomorrow then." I smiled. I saw her blushing but then she hid her face. "Let's go Killua, Mito-san will be worried." Gon said as he pulled me by the arm. As we were getting farther, the house started to get smaller and disappeared from the view. Ruki… My mind kept on repeating this name. I felt Gon let go of my arm, I almost fell over if I haven't maintain my balance. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!" I shouted.
"Is something bothering you Killua?" He asked.
"Nothing." I said.
"It's about Ruki, isn't it?"
"W-What gave you the idea?" I asked in surprise as I tried to hide the slight blush on my cheeks.
"Nothing… I have a feeling." He said.
"Let's stop this chatting and head home ok? Mito-san will be worried." I tried to make this an excuse but I'm sure, Gon has seen right through me.
