A/N: Could anyone please tell me how to retain the asterisks when uploading chapters in FFN, pleeeease? Bdw, OOC alert for most answers but please don't take it to heart. +wink+
And yes baaanKAIIII, I find it most coincidental that the creator of my fave shounen anime is married to the creator of my fave shoujo anime. Kya!
Standard disclaimer applies: If I owned Hunter X Hunter, then I would make Killua older so I wouldn't be accused of 'cradle-snatching'
SLAMBOOK FEVER
Chapter 3: The Triumvirate
Illumi and Kuroro weren't happy but since they were all together for the holidays and couldn't kill Hisoka…Kuroro because he can't use nen and Illumi because he wasn't going to be paid to do it…decided to go along with the slambook "write-athlon."
Hisoka had finished signing his name with a flourish and eagerly offered his slambook to Illumi who looked as if he was going to do his first for-free job. But Illumi apparently thought about losing a regular client, who was also his supposedly-best-friend-but-still-in-denial, so he just shrugged and took it while passing his own book to Kuroro who gave his to Hisoka.
And once again, the slambook reveals…
-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-
Kuroro scans the questions then his eyes light up, why, this just might be fun!

"Hey!" Hisoka protested as Illumi snatched pen and slambook away from him.
"Time's up," Illumi said coolly while Hisoka pouted as Illumi swapped the slambooks again.
"Are we going to pass this to other people?" Kuroro wanted to know.
"Don't be absurd," Illumi answered as he began writing again, "I'm passing this to my brother Killua tomorrow."
