SYAORAN

(POV)

DANGER. There is danger lurking in our midst and I just know it.

Okay, you might think I'm a little too pessimistic and all that, but my instincts have never been wrong. After all, it wouldn't hurt to be a little cautious at times--especially in the presence of such a detestable entity cloaked in an amalgam of death and mystery…

There is no mistaking the infernal force I feel whenever that kid is around. It is noxious… Burning my nerves with an almost injurious feeling… An unbearable heat…

And it's not much of a comforting thought, either, that he can draw this much effect on me while still restraining whatever foreboding, evil vim he has kept deep within his abrasively intriguing persona.

It should be pretty obvious by now how much I hate that kid's guts--and I'm betting my life he does mine too. I cannot remember ever loathing anyone as much as I loathe him, and I make sure to let him know that every time we cross paths and get a chance to stare each other down.

Whatever made Meilin so willing to play Good Samaritan to this stranger in the first place is totally beyond me. We don't even know where he came from or where he's coming from and what he was or is exactly. He never even told us anything about himself aside from his name and doesn't seem willing at all to discuss anything about his life.

"This is now. I am here with you now. Why would you care about my past?"

Yeah right, kid. Well, here's what I have to say to you:

You would've been able to run that by Meilin's naivete, but you don't stand a chance at making me resolve to such crap.

'Coz your being here now is the very thing about you that bothers me so, more than your enigmatic past or your hidden abilities.

I am not scared of you and am pretty sure I will never be. After all, nothing frightens Syaoran Li more than losing his girl--aside, of course, from my imposingly creepy okaa-san, but that's beside the whole point!

If you're planning on snatching my girl right under my nose, I'll have you know that you're not the only being with some hidden abilities around here. I swear I'll make you regret you ever set foot on this place.

If you ever decide on showing me your true color, don't worry 'coz I'll be more than ready to meet you head on.

You should be able to figure it out by now. Or if your brain cells are too busy withering at the thought of my girl, I'll just have to rephrase it in simpler words for you:

BACK OFF, KID!


A/N: Wow, how long has it been? Gomen, gomen for a very very very very looooooooooooooong delay! I kinda lost inspiration in writing this fiction with everything I had to do, but now that I have time spilling from my hands, I'm back again for another installment. I plan on finishing this as soon as possible, but I don't want to force it out of me when I don't have the zest to write, either. Believe me, it would be a disaster!

So bear with me, onegai?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of yah wonderful people who have reviewed this fic-- PrincessFlorea, crystal-eidolon, Jia Li Labyrinth, Reality2Anime, hana-lai, amethyst-eyed, Lili, Masami, Ghost, Kolinshar Benito, Aeris, JaideD-14, C.M Aeris Queen of Insanity.

About adding in more characters from Hunter X Hunter, I'll definitely get to that

About my characters being OOC, gomen! I try hard to keep them as in-character as possible, but, oh well, it always happens! Really sorry.

Syaoran may seem OOC in this POV, but nobody really knows what goes on inside that reticent kid's head, right? How much creepy and grotesque thoughts he is capable of---oh, never mind!

About Killua's teasing nature and Meilin getting a kick out of him, I got that idea from the elevator incident they had in the sky battle arena. Where Killua was saying all these nasty things to the elevator girl who ended up beating the hell out of him and poor Gon. That's really funny and is one of my favorite Killua-gets-kicked-in-the-ass moments. Remember the second time he even commented about the elevator girl being stronger than Hisoka?

About Killua escaping his fate, I never said he could… I just asked is it possible? We'll all see at the end of this fiction what my take on this matter will be.

About adding in more chapters, I've got a new one in the next page. And I'll try to do as much as this summer would allow me.

Again THANK YOU VERY MUCH! God knows I can never thank you enough

On with the next chapter!
