^^ Thank you everyone who reads this fic! Thank you RGNN and my sister, and a special thank you for my reviewers. You all RULE!
And the newest chapter begins. So I won't stop you... though read the bottom author's note, please? Thank you, that's all. Enjoy!
I cursed silently as I fell out of the window. Why couldn't I fall into the room? Even though that was anime cliché…
I had dropped about two metres until the breeze I had summoned to hold me up came. By then, Killua had come to the window in panic. He leaned out of the window, peering down at me worriedly. 'Wind! Are you ok?'
I grinned up at him and floated up to him, the strong breeze making my hair flap wildly about again.
I spat hair out of my mouth and then opened it to talk... just to get hair in my mouth. Again.
I'm going to cut my hair! Seriously! I don't care about my obsession with long hair anymore! What was I thinking, wishing for hair that fell past my butt?
Killua was just staring in disbelief at me. Then he scowled, a pink blush slowly spreading over his cheeks.
'Stupid! You made me worried!'
I laughed awkwardly, spitting hair out of my mouth every two seconds while at it.
'Grab my hand?' I said, reaching out. He raised an eyebrow, but came nearer anyway.
'Sure... why?' he said as he grabbed my hand.
'Because of THIS!' I said with a maniacal smile on my face as I let the breeze drop. There was a moment when I was stationary (gravity hadn't caught up yet... in true anime style). Then I dropped like a stone.
Killua sighed as he hoisted me up. He wasn't even breaking a sweat. And I was wearing a condensed moonbeam dress!
'And just why did you have to do that?'
'Obviously because if I had just walked into your room with that breeze it would've ripped your room open?'
'No it wouldn't.'
'Want to try?' I sat on the windowsill and lifted my hand up. Killua let go of my hand and shook his head wildly.
'No! I'm not as suicidal as that!' I grinned.
'Thought so.' Then I hopped off the window ledge and walked towards the mini kitchen we all had. 'You have any pineapple, Killua?'
Killua just shook his head.
'You're impossible.'
With Killua
Killua was looking at Wind with exasperation.
It seemed like he had fallen for a partly insane girl. He had fallen for a partly insane, rich, powerful, pretty girl. The worst combination possible. And he had fallen hard.
I must be insane.
'Do you have any pineapple Killua?' Killua shook his head. Partly in reply and partly at himself.
'You're impossible.' She ignored me and changed direction instead.
'Then do you have any scissors?'
He rummaged through his desk drawer and drew a pair out.
'What do you want them for?'
'Well... this!' She snatched them and held her long, long hair out.
'Wait, what? Dusky said you loved your hair!' Killua said, surprised. Didn't she say that Wind actually acted like a girl whenever it came to hair? Why was she cutting it?
'That was before the stupid anime effects made my hair fly in my mouth all the time!' Killua frowned.
'Anime effects...?' Wind clapped her hand over her mouth.
'Ehehehehehe...' she chuckled awkwardly. 'Nothing! Anyway, I just don't like my hair flying into my mouth all the time. Imagine! It's horrible!' She raised the scissors and they flashed dangerously. Killua gulped.
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all...
Wind's hand swooped on her hair and cut half of it in one snip. Wind raised her eyebrows and whistled.
'These are one good pair of scissors. The ones in my room are all rusty and blunt. Do you mind if I steal them Killua?' He frowned.
'No. My scissors.'
'Aaaaw... Pleeeeaaaase?' Wind put on her puppy eyes. Killua gulped.
She just looked so cute. Wait… did he just think someone was cute?
…
Love really did make people think strange things…
'N-no.' He choked out. Wind sighed and cut the rest of her hair in another clean snip!
Killua meandered towards his fridge, opening it to his special deluxe chocolate fondue bowl. A quick spin in the microwave should melt it again...
He turned around just to see Wind twirl, looking at herself in the mirror with her new mid-length hair. She nodded in approval.
'Now it has a less-likely chance of flying into my mouth. And I still have long hair.' She spun towards Killua, grinning. 'How do I look, Killua-kun?' She added the last part teasingly.
Killua gulped and nearly dropped the fondue bowl.
Which was saying something, as it contained his deluxe special ordered chocolate fondue in it.
'You look fine.' He managed to say without much qualm and headed towards the microwave, nearly dropping it (again) in the process, trying to hide his wobbly knees.
Too cute. Can't think.
A little part of Killua's brain sighed and commented idly.
She's got you whipped, hasn't she?
...
Shut up.
With Wind
Killua was leaning on the microwave without setting it. I bet he had a reason so I left him to it and went to the mirror again.
I wished for long hair, and I had gotten it. But now I have a head that could actually grow hair, I didn't need to keep it that long now, right?
I stared happily. If I had to pick something that I loved the most, it was my hair. After losing it, I realised how much it had been of my life. So as a result, whenever hair came up, I would become like a little girl over toffee apples.
I grinned and looked at the new cut to see if it needed any trimming, carefully not treading on my cut hair lying around on the floor.
Hey, it was still hair.
The anime effects worked. The cut needed no trimming, and it wasn't just straight cut, it was somehow slightly layered and anime-looking. I grinned. That's so awesome!
Until I saw a black hair in the midst of all the white. My jaw dropped.
I had a black hair? What? How? I tried to look at it more closely, until Killua stepped out and I tried not looking strange.
'Uhehehe, Killua, got to get going now! Bye!' I zoomed out of the room, still holding the scissors and into mine, where I locked the door and promptly threw myself into bed.
Jeb would be able to answer my questions. I was sure he could.
So I tried to fall asleep.
And I did.
Yellow dimension
'JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEB! PLEASE SHOW UP THIS TIME!'
Two minutes later, Jeb appeared looking a bit frazzled.
'What Wind? Sorry for not appearing for a long time. Paperwork.' He said, as if it explained everything. I just stormed towards him, pointing to my head. He backed away slowly.
'Ok Wind, if I did something to offend you, I'm sorry. PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!' I blinked.
'Uh... Jeb. I want to ask you a question.' Jeb smiled in relief and plonked himself onto the ground.
'Oh, is that it? I thought it was something important...' I scowled and pointed to my head. Jeb looked at me and looked at my hair.
'Oh my, you cut it! It looks good, Wind! It suits you!' I smiled.
'I know!' I said happily. Then shook my head. I could be happy later.
'Jeb, I have a black hair! Why do I have a black hair?'
'Oh, where?' He looked at my head and his happy face faltered a bit, but his smile grew wider, if possible.
I was tempted to take off my sunglasses. I bet he drew something on them or something.
'You have a black hair! You're integrating into the world well, Wind! Can I see your wish list?' I searched through my pockets.
'Umm... It's in my bag. Not here.' He shrugged.
'It's ok. We'll talk about it later.' He was fading away, until I realised it wasn't him fading away, it was me.
'Well, Jeb. I'm waking up. Bye!'
'Bye!' And with that, I woke up.
To Efoe's evil thinking smile. I sat up groggily just to see that Gon and Zushi were laughing and throwing looks at me over their shoulder.
I sighed.
They must be up to something again.
If I only knew what it was, I would've run away. Seriously.
The next day...
'Efoe! Zushi! Come back here, you stupid DOLTS!' I screamed at them, my staff in my hand. My new shorter hair was blowing wildly, but none got to my mouth, for which I was grateful.
But what I was not grateful about was the fact that Efoe and Zushi had woke me up in the morning, thrust a dress at one of those maid people that cleaned and changed me. (Hello, where's my privacy people?)
Then Efoe came up, clipping my hair up into all these weird shapes and styles until he just settled for a simple head-band (which was green. They said it matched my eyes.) Afterwards, they told me to shrink my staff.
I told them I couldn't do it, but they had asked Wing-sensei, who had told them that the staff part was the earth component of my powers I should be able to control it as well as the wings.
So after half-an-hour of shrinking my staff (it was unexpectedly hard) into a trendy (not) walking stick instead of a shoulder-high staff, they shoved my feet into white sandals, slapped a floppy straw hat on my head and kicked me out of my apartment and ushered me in front of a cinema.
What the hell?
Worried mothers hurried their children away, giving me furtive looks. I blinked and realised that after my weird shouting fit, there was a five metre radius around me. And no Zushi or Efoe.
I sighed and massaged my temples. What did they want me to do? Stand around here all day? In front of a cinema as well? I looked at the posters that had all these weird movies on them. I sighed and turned around.
Well, nothing to stop me from walking away... I glanced furtively around and started walking away from the cinema. Only after two steps, I heard a very familiar voice shouting.
'Gon! Explain this!
'Remember to say "you look nice!"' Gon's voice replied, getting fainter by the second.
'To who? Gon, don't leave me here!' I walked towards the sound, just to see Killua chasing behind a taxi which contained a head with suspiciously spiky black hair in it.
'Killua!' He froze and looked backwards at me. I raised an eyebrow. He looked cool, I must admit, wearing a sleeveless shirt with the top button undone, 'fashionably' ripped jeans and those big, chunky sneakers that everyone wears these days.
'Wind?' he asked, peering at me through his sunglasses. I beamed, glad that someone had shared my plight.
'They abandoned you here as well?'
'Yeah.' I could practically see the gears in his brain whirring. And when he finally got an answer, he groaned in frustration. 'Those stupid idiots!'
I presumed they were Gon, Efoe and Zushi.
'Do you think they want us to watch a movie together or something? They shoved these at me before they left.' I commented as I looked at the cinema. Killua rummaged around his pockets and produced two tickets.
'Gon said when I met the person that I was going to meet I should take them to watch this movie together.' I looked at the ticket and raised my eyebrows.
'It's a horror movie.'
'Really?' He put his sunglasses on top of his head to look. 'Oh, so it is.'
'I don't like horror movies.'
'I'm not that partial to them either.'
Then these stupid gushing old aunties standing randomly at the corner pointed at us and said 'Aren't they just so cute together? Ah, the beauty of youth!'
I twitched. Excuse me, what? I looked at Killua, who was actually looking at me for the first time.
'Uh, Wind. Why aren't you wearing your cloak?' he said after slapping his sunglasses back on. I gave him a confused look. Did I really look that weird?
'Efoe and Zushi forced me into these clothes and pushed me out here. Do I look nice? I didn't get to look at myself in the mirror.' They had made me change into a spare condensed moonbeam tunic thing, knowing that condensed moonbeam was what anchored me down to the ground, and then forced me into this pale blue, white polka-dot dress.
I thought it looked ok. I mean, it was a good length (knee length, not too long or too short), had a flared skirt, white straps and a big white bow at the back. It wasn't what I would usually choose to wear (it's so girly!) but it was cute.
'It looks really good on you.' I grinned.
'Really?' I laughed. 'Then what's with the sunglasses?' He blushed and looked away.
'None of your business.' I shrugged (I was still kind of sleepy, since those three idiots had woke me up early to 'prepare' me) and walked away towards the cinema.
'So let's buy tickets to another movie.'
'Why not? But I didn't bring any money though.' I sighed and got my own wallet out.
'Isn't the guy supposed to treat the girl at a date?' Killua froze in his tracks, first becoming pale then red as steam suddenly rose from his head.
Gosh, the anime effects made it seem like he liked me or something. If I didn't hear Killua say he didn't like me yesterday, I would've believed just that.
'D-d-date?' He stuttered.
'Yeah. What else would you call a guy and a girl at the movies together? Idiot.' I looked at him with a dead-pan look and walked over to the counter, looking at the movies screening at the moment before pointing at one. 'This looks funny... Killua, are you listening?'
He had become a human ice-block, black lines covering one eye in an "I-DON'T-BELIEVE-THIS-IS-HAPPENING" look. I sighed and bought the two tickets, a huge popcorn bucket and a packet of dried pineapple. Then I walked over toward Killua and poked him.
'Do you want to come or not?' He sprung to life and looked at me with a fixed grin on his face.
'Let's!' He walked stiffly to the nearest movie theatre.
'Umm... Killua? It's that way.' I pointed to the other direction. He laughed and swung around.
'Of course! What else?' I shook my head and shoved all the popcorn into his arms and one of the tickets so that I could hold my once-a-staff-but-now-a-walking-stick and my packet of dried pineapple comfortably.
'So let's go watch the movie then.'
'Sure!' And I walked next to clockwork Killua, opening my packet of pineapple. I peered at him from underneath my humongous hat.
Was he ok?
Killua's view
I walked next to Wind, holding the popcorn with both arms mechanically.
Why was Wind's hat so big? I couldn't walk next to her without the rim of it nearly bashing into my head!
I turned to tell her to take her hat off, opening my mouth to speak… but no sound came out. What was wrong with me? Just because Wind looked so innocent and cute in that blue, dotty dress… that couldn't steal my ability to talk right?
I opened my mouth again, ready to talk. Then Wind looked over and smiled at me.
No sound came out. I opened my mouth once or twice (probably like a goldfish) trying to tell her take the stupid cute hat off and gave up.
I quickly looked back ahead to hide my face. My face began to burn. And so I continued to walk mechanically next to her.
Thank goodness Gon had forced me to wear these sunglasses.
'No no NOO Killua! You're supposed to be natural! Smile at Wind! Buy her drinks! Then go to the horror movie so Wind can cling to you!' Efoe muttered viciously hiding behind a pot plant.
'Nothing's going to plan, is it?' Zushi said while trying to not to laugh at Killua's reactions.
'Killua's never been on a date before. And with Wind, he's always been stiff.' Gon said while spying through a pair of binoculars, a sweat drop slowly trickling down his face.
'Oh well, I hope at least he can loosen up during that comedy thing they're watching.' Efoe said disgustedly. 'Those horror movie tickets! Wasted!'
'Oh well...' Gon said consolingly. 'At least they will have fun!'
'Do they look like they're having fun to you, Gon? Killua's moving like a clockwork machine and Wind's wondering if she's supposed to be here! It's not supposed to work that way!' Efoe ranted.
'Well, do you want to go closer?' Zushi muttered. 'I can't see much at all.'
'Let's go!'
Wind's view
I was laughing my head off.
'They're so lame it's funny!' Killua was just looking at the screen confusedly.
'Why are they doing that?' I looked at him.
'It's comedy, Killua! Relax and enjoy!'
The main character stepped on a banana peel and fell over. 'AHAHAHAHAAAA!'
'Relax huh? I really should do that. Relax...' He took a deep breath in and out.
I grinned.
'Hey, want to go to the aquarium after this? I've always wanted to watch fish. And there seem to be so many interesting species.'
Killua nodded. 'What about now? I don't get this movie at all.'
'Why not?' I shrugged. We got out of our seats and walked out of the theatre.
'Though...' Killua said.
'Yeah?'
'I've only looked at poisonous fish in my whole life. I wonder what other types there are...' I looked at him with a sweat-drop on my face. He looked at me defensively. 'Don't look at me like that!'
'Seriously Killua, you're seriously deprived.'
'No I'm not!'
We stepped onto the bus and I tapped my walking stick to an empty seat as Killua bought two tickets for us to the aquarium. Killua still had his sunglasses on, and as we talked, he became visibly more relaxed.
We were in the middle of a discussion when there were very three very suspicious thumps on the roof of the bus. I shrugged, thinking it may be an anime thing.
We got off the bus and went into the aquarium.
I paid of course. Killua still didn't have money. (I suspected it was from the chocolate he had been buying non-stop for the last two months).
So we went in to the see the marvels of the HunterXHunter world.
'They're going into an aquarium!'
'Then we can commence plan number 56!'
'No, it was 55!'
'It was 58!'
'Who cares? Let's go and commence plan fifty-something!' Efoe said excitedly. Zushi groaned.
'But my butt still hurts from jumping onto the bus...'
'Stop complaining and move! It's lucky we made so many plans. Now… who bought money?' Efoe looked around expectantly to see the blank faces of the other two. Zushi held up his hands in defence.
'I'm only on level 100. I don't get much money!'
'You, Gon?'
'Ehehehe... I forgot?' Efoe sighed and took out his own wallet.
'I'll need to pay for everyone then...' Efoe and Gon cheered. 'With interest.' Their faces dropped.
'You're mean, Efoe...'
'Only towards money, Gon, only towards money. Anyway, let's go!'
And so my "date" with Killua continued...
Review! ^^ Anything confusing, or anything, just review! (Oh, and for you all who think this is a blatant self-insert, Wind and I only have our love for food the same. Everything else is radically different. TT_TT She's so much awesomer than me, it's not funny.)
I have posted a new story. - ^ - Please read it? It's for the Katekyo Hitman Reborn category though, and its style is different because I'm trying hard to create a whole new character that isn't Wind, so... for all you who also read Katekyo, please try it out? And review? I really want to know your views.
And see you all next week! Good bye tests! Goodbye studying! FANFICTION IS GOING TO TAKE OVEEEER!
