Part 2: Killua Kills Free Willy

Killua frantically dashed through the streets of the city. He dodged tourists and residents alike, determined to get to his destination. He heard Gon yelling at him to slow down, but he couldn't stop. He had to keep moving or . . . he didn't want to think of what would happen then.

With a cry of joy, he reached his destination. He bolted through the door, leaving Gon outside looking confused. A few minutes later, he came out of the men's bathroom, looking relieved. Gon walked forward to greet his friend, but just as he reached him a pair of white hands grabbed Killua and dragged him off. With a yelp Gon ran after his now cussing friend.

The hands had belonged to Illumi, who had dragged Killua (and in an indirect way Gon) into a convenient alleyway. Killua pulled free and spun around to yell at his brother.

"Look Illumi, I don't know why the hell you've decided to randomly show up and kidnap me, but I'm going to tell you right now, I'm not going back home and that's final! And if you try to convince me otherwise, I swear I'll-"

"I'm not here to take you home. I need your help."

Killua stopped ranting and narrowed his eyes. "With what?"

"That." Illumi pointed to a dark blob a few feet away. After a few seconds, Killua realized that the blob was Hisoka.

He blinked. "Not my fault you chose a crazy man to be your partner. Besides, do I look like I work at an asylum?"

If this had been anyone other than Illumi, a classic sweat drop would have ensued. "That's not what I need help with."

"Then wha-"

"KILLUA!" The brothers turned to see Gon running towards them at high speeds. He skidded to a halt, ready to fight.

Killua was about to assure his friend that he was not in any way shape or form being kidnapped, when he heard something that he had hoped to never hear again.

"Hey listen! You needa go fight Jabu-Jabu!" He spun around to stare the terror in its face. There it was, the blue glow, the little wings, the vague suggestion of a face. The monster that still haunted his dreams: Navi.

"GAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he shrieked. He leapt a foot in the air then hid behind Gon. He peered over his friend's shoulder to glare at the fairy.

Gon blinked in confusion. "What? What's wrong?"

Killua pointed a shaking finger at the fairy, now called Navi. "That . . . that thing. It is PURE EVIL."

"Now you know how I feel." Hisoka stood and walked towards Killua. "This thing won't leave me alone. It's been following me for almost two weeks." He was now right in front of them. He leaned down and looked Killua in the eye. "Illumi says you know how to get rid of this thing. I want you to do so, NOW."

Killua cringed away, as the fairy was following Hisoka at close quarters. "I don't know how."

Hisoka's eye twitched. "What do you mean you don't know how?" he asked in a dangerous voice.

"I tried when I was stuck with Navi, and I couldn't do it." Killua and Gon quickly backed away from him. He looked like he was about to explode, and they didn't want to be hit with pieces of flying Hisoka. Somehow, the believed that the experience would be extremely unpleasant, wet, and for some reason gelatinous.

Hisoka opened his mouth to utter some words (some of which were NOT meant for the ears of the two twelve-year-olds in front of him) but he was interrupted by a high-pitched voice.

"Hey listen! You needa go fight Jabu-Jabu!" Hisoka rounded on the fairy with an animalistic snarl. Illumi backed away from his general line of vision. Hisoka was becoming more and more like a fangirl by the second. After the animalistic snarls always came the sudden change in mood . . .

Suddenly, Hisoka became very calm. Oh gods no! screamed Illumi's brain. Instinct was kicking at his shins, trying to make him leave. But he was getting paid well for this, and he didn't think his mother would be very happy if he ran off and left Killua to face a rabid psychotic clown-going-fangirl-under-the-influence-of-a-Navi.

While Illumi was thinking all this, Hisoka was speaking. "Well, if I can't kill it, perhaps I can satisfy its needs. Do you know what this Jabu-Jabu thing is, Killua?"

"Yeah. It's an evil whale."

This explanation earned him a plethora of funny looks. "What?"

"An . . . evil whale?" inquired Illumi.

"Yeah." The company was silent. "What?"

"Well, it sounds kind of silly."

"Hey, I wasn't the one who made all this up."

Illumi gave him a look that clearly said "Sure you didn't." He gave Illumi a glare.

Hisoka cleared his throat. "Fine. Whatever. I'm going to find this Jabu-Jabu and kill it, whether it's a whale or a giant cookie." Hisoka got even more looks than Killua did. He returned those looks with glare. Then he walked out of the alley, grabbing Killua's wrist on his way out.

"Hey! The hell do you think you're doing?"

"You're going to come with me and teach me how to kill a whale. I don't want to do it wrong and be cursed with this thing the rest of my life."

"You mean Navi?"

"DON'T GIVE IT A NAME! THAT MAKES IT EVEN WORSE!" Killua flinched, not because he was particularly scared, but because his ear was near Hisoka's mouth and Hisoka could yell really loud. He turned his head and gave Illumi a look that clearly said, "Why the hell did you choose such a crazy partner? Why couldn't you choose some one normal?"

Illumi blinked at him. He then proceeded to follow the two down the street. Gon followed Illumi. He had no idea what was going on, but he sensed that Killua would need a friend soon.

At the convenient beach . . .

"Ok, Hisoka. Here's how you kill Jabu-Jabu. You find him, then you jump into his mouth and run around inside of him, then you kill him. Like this." Killua scanned the very convenient ocean to find his target. There weren't really many whales about, but there did seem to be a movie going into production and there was a very nice mechanical whale . . .

"WOOOOOOO!" Killua leapt from the shore and ran into the gaping mouth of the metal whale. He threw himself into the middle, and stabbed the vital machinery that kept it going. Then he ran out, ignoring the screams of the set director and the cries of "He killed Free Willy!"

He skidded to a halt in front of Hisoka. "That's how you kill Jabu-Jabu."

Hisoka looked at the whale, which was starting to smoke. "So, all I have to do is kill a whale, and this thing is gone?"

"In theory, yes."

"Fine, I'll just go a-" screams and a big BOOM interrupted Hisoka. The mechanical whale had decided that it wanted to be clichéd and defy all known laws of physics, and explode, even though Killua hadn't done anything but make it stop working. Fake whale parts rained down from the sky.

Hisoka chose to ignore this and began to walk off. "See you. I'm going to go kill whale. Illumi?"

"Wh-"

"The silver dueling pistol hasn't arrived yet."

"You're paying me double."

"Why?"

"Because all the whales that Killua hasn't blown up are in the Artic. I don't like the cold."

Hisoka considered saying no. Illumi was expensive. But then again . . .

"You needa go fight Jabu-Jabu!"

"Fine. Double. Going. Now." Illumi and Hisoka walked off to find a ship that would take them to the Artic. Illumi began thinking of people he could blackmail for ride, just in case.

Killua and Gon stared after them. "Killua?"

"Yeah?"

"Is it just me or is Hisoka starting to act like-"

"Yes."

Silence.

"You think that he'll sell Kurapika's pants on E-bay like those other girls?"

"No. Though he might try for Illumi's."

More silence.

"Killua?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm scared."

"Yeah. Let's get some ice cream."
