Can't Stop Thinking

Chapter 3- Camping Trip

It was already around 4 o'clock in the afternoon. We were traveling in the woods, Killua, Gon and I. I was carrying our food; Gon was leading the way and Killua was carrying our tents.

I'm glad that mom allowed me to camp in the woods with my newly met friends. I missed camping in the woods, after that incident mom would not let me go any more. I stared at the two boys in front of me. They look so happy together, they are like the best of friends. I looked down and smiled at the thought and clutched the basket full of food I was carrying. I didn't notice that somebody was looking at me then.

"You know Ruki, you better watch where you are going or you'll hit your head." Gon told me.

"That's why I'm looking at the road." I smiled innocently trying to make an excuse.

"She's just thinking over something Gon." Killua said to his friend.

I smiled at them again. These two boys get along well in spite of their differences. Gon was the very outspoken and simple-minded type of person while Killua is very mysterious and smart. We reached an open space, wide enough to camp. I heard some sniffing and looked around, it was only Gon.

"We could camp here, there's no sign of danger." Gon gave us a thumb up sign.

"If there'd be any danger Gon you'll be the one to do the protecting job." Killua joked.

"That's unfair! You'll do some of it too!" Gon exclaimed.

"I think we'd better set our tents now." I suggested.

"You're right Ruki." Killua answered. "It is getting dark."

Killua placed down our things and I placed down our dinner. "I'll get the firewood in the woods now so we'll have some light." Gon said.

"Sure Gon, but be back as soon as you can!" Killua waved as Gon was getting farther and farther away.

I started putting up my tent. I noticed that a hand was helping me. I looked at my left and saw Killua. A slight blush appeared in my cheeks. I'm not used being helped by a person especially not a guy, a cute guy. He is cute in my opinion.

"I can do this on my own thank you." I said.

"I give respect to my friends so I want to help them." He smiled at me.

"Oh… is that so…" Blood was rushing to my cheeks. I know I was blushing madly so I looked at what I am doing not looking at him. I guess he noticed this.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"I'm ok."

"But you're red. Are you sick?" he asked again.

"No, I'm no-" I was cut off as he placed his forehead on mine.

He was so close. His face was only a couple of centimeters away from mine. I could feel his breathing that time, and I could feel his heartbeat too. He regained his composure.

"You're not sick." Killua said.

"That's what I've been trying to tell you." I told him.

Just then, I heard somebody coming closer. I looked at the bushes and somebody emerged from this. It was only Gon.

"I got the firewood we needed. Did I miss anything?" He said as he placed the firewood on the ground.

"You haven't missed anything." I said as I finished putting up my tent and saw that Killua was finish with the two tents. He's fast I thought.

"Let's set up the bonfire." Gon said excitedly as he rubbed two stones together.

When the fire was all set, I started to bring out the food and cook them. When the food was already cooked and we got our shares and ate until we're full. After eating, we gathered around the campfire. They told stories in being a hunter, I was amazed by their quests and adventures.

"… There was this one time when we rescued Killua from his family." Gon said.

"Why did you rescue him? Is there any problem?" I asked curiously.

"Well… you see Killua's family are ass-" Before Gon finished his sentence Killua covered his hand on Gon's mouth.

"Ne? Anything wrong?" I asked Killua.

"Nothing." Killua smiled then he whispered something to Gon.

"Ok then Killua, I won't tell that your family ar-" Gon was cut off again.

I giggled seeing them like that. "Until when are you staying?" I suddenly asked.

"Maybe a week or two." Killua said.

"Oh… I guess you'll be leaving sometime now." I said trying to smile. 'Why are they leaving? Why?' I asked myself.

"Ruki, don't worry about us. We'll still visit Whale island sometime." Gon smiled.

"But when are you coming back then?"

"After a year?" Killua said uncertainly.

"Or maybe two to three years." Gon said.

I stared at the fire. 'Why can't they just stay here? Three years? Could I wait that long just to wait for them? I don't want them to leave'

I broke out of my thought as I felt a hand tap my shoulder. It was Killua. I looked at him.

"We'll be back. Don't be sad, we promise that." He tried to comfort me. He looked at me with those concerned eyes.

I smiled at him. "I'll for you two to get back then."

They simply nodded. The fire burned out and it was really late.

"We better go to sleep then. Good night." I said as I went into my tent.

"Good night." They bid me.

I was lying on my sleeping bag, I can't even sleep. Do I feel something for Killua that I need him to be at my side so badly?
