CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Busted Adjustment

They were cornered and there was currently no chance of escape.

Killua felt as if they were mere a mouse stuck in a mouse trap.

No wait, scratch that. He felt as if they were live food in a lion's den.

He cussed in annoyance as he tried to immediately think of a way on how to escape from two members of the Genei Ryodan.

Yes, they were caught and were currently trying to outrun their captor.

Killua abruptly look to his side and observed Gon, whose face was contorted in anger, immense amounts of Nen emanating from his body.

"Tsk tsk tsk. Look what we have here? Yo kids! If I were you I'd be joining the Genei Ryodan now. I bet Danchou will like you just fine. So what about it?"

Both of Killua and Gon's eyes narrowed at the source of the voice, which was undoubtedly, Nobunaga.

"Stop teasing them. Danchou said that we need to have them captured alive." Another voice spoke, a shadow emerging from a dark corner.

'Oh no, why should it be them, of all times?' Killua worriedly thought as he felt fear slowly seeped through his system.

"We don't and won't come with you no matter what you say!" Gon spat as he turned into a defensive position, which in turn, only posed a threat to Nobunaga. He slowly pulled out his sword from its sheath as a warning for the two that if they make one false move, all hell will break loose.

"Eh? Say that again kid? I hate to break it to you, but it's either you both are coming with us now, or we incapacitate you and bring you back to the headquarters by force."

"Tch. What do you want with us anyway?"

Machi rolled her eyes as she stepped closer to the two, readying her strings to tie them.

"You'll learn about it soon enough so keep quiet."

"NO!" Gon shouted as he started to dart away, followed closely by Killua who used his Nen to cause sparks, momentarily confusing Nobunaga and Machi for a while.

"Gon let's hurry! We can't afford to have them by our tail." 'Damn I knew it was a bad idea to be loitering around here in Meteor City. Of course they'd be here!' he internally groaned as he swiftly tried to plan their possible escape.

But then again, there was such a thing as reinforcements.

As soon as they were about to turn around a corner, they were surprised to see Phinks and Shalnark already poised on each end, ready to fight with them if the need arises.

"Where do you think you're going, you brats?" Phinks snickered as Nen emitted out from his arm.

Killua attempted to use his Godspeed skill but then decided against it, considering how Gon was currently with him. If ever he does use it, he won't be able to save both himself and Gon.

He also knew that at the moment, they were weaker and had no match against four members of the Genei Ryodan.

That is, imagine it to be like four Hisokas attacking you all at once, as Killua would put it.

As the members got close to them and the moment he felt Machi's Nen strings tightly grip onto their wrists, he could only think of one word:

Shit.

"Danchou, why did we change plans? What will we gain from kidnapping the two kids again?" Shizuku asked while adjusting the rim of her glasses.

Kuroro raised his head and attention from the book he was currently reading looked at her with a small smile.

"They would certainly be of great help if we have them as hostages. Their chain-user Kurta friend will definitely come to the rescue and save them. Considering how the chain user had this certain skill of locating and pursuing us, he would also prove to be beneficial in helping us find Feitan, that is, under the impression that he still is alive."

"But isn't Shalnark's idea sufficient enough?"

"You should never question Danchou, Shizuku. He knows what he is doing. And besides, Danchou's plan seems to cover up more what we need, as opposed to Shalnark's plan. It's as simple as that." Franklin smiled while playfully patting Shizuku's hair.

"Oh… I see. Sorry for questioning you Danchou." Shizuku said before turning her attention to the book on her lap.

Kuroro smiled while deep in thought.

'It is true that the chain-user most likely would have declined his friends' favor of 'borrowing' his skills and power to locate Feitan, considering how he has an intelligent and calculating personality. He wouldn't immediately give in to their wishes— in fact, he would have been one of the very first few people to say no should the issue at hand be lain out to him. He surely holds great value to his friends as well as their safety. But then again, there seems to be one of them who is stubborn and forceful, by which most likely he would have to have made some sort of compromise with him, making it a 50-50 situation, giving us more delayed time and unproductivity should we decide to wait for them to enter our web of trap.'

'But if we were the ones who would take the initiative to confront them upfront, the two kids would not be able to do anything, considering how they seem to take high regard of our troupe.'

'Then… the chain user will be left with no choice but to save his friends who would be in danger under the mercy of our blood-stained hands.'

Kuroro smiled at the thought; it actually seemed to be a perfect plan in order for him to finally get the revenge he wanted to bestow upon the chain user, as a requiem for his fallen comrades.

And hopefully, through this plan, they would be able to recover another member who was now seemingly on the brink of falling down and ceasing to exist within the group.

While the rest of the troupe was busy abducting Gon and Killua, Kalluto, on the other hand, had his hands full himself; he was busy tailing the 'her' he talked about to Shalnark and Phinks a few days ago.

He thought about how useful it probably would be if only the woman would cooperate with them. However, it seems as if the woman herself was cautious of her every move, as well as of the people around her.

If only Kalluto's In wasn't in top shape, he probably would have been already figured out by the said woman in concern.

As he was closely observing her like how a predator observes his prey, his mind made a flashback on the day he told Shalnark and Phinks about his discovery.

Kalluto hurried inside headquarters, surprising Shalnark and Phinks who were currently playing cards.

"Eh? What is it Kalluto? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Kalluto stopped, breathless, before standing up, a small smile forming on her face.

"I think I found her."

Shalnarks brow furrowed in confusion. "Found who?"

Kalluto let out a small smile before proceeding. "I believe I've found a person who could be somewhat capable of bringing Feitan back, aside from the chain-user we're so busy chasing."

Phinks snorted. "Really, who is this person then? She must be damn hot and pretty so our pursuit will be worthwhile and not put to waste."

Kalluto blankly looked at him and said, "I was unable to clearly see her face because she had this hood pulled up over her head."

"So how do you know that person's a 'she', then?"

Kalluto resisted the urge to roll his eyes as a vein popped on his forehead.

"I just know, okay? Now enough with the pointless questions."

Phinks eyes twitched while Shalnark hummed in response, setting the cards on his lap.

"Well then Kalluto, let's have it this way: you can tail her for the moment and wait until the right time to abduct her comes. While we, on the other hand, will follow through Danchou's orders. I suggest you inform him first though, just to be sure."

"Alright, I will." Kalluto said, before standing up and disappearing in a blur.

Kalluto's determination resurfaced ablaze as soon as he remembered how Kuroro actually allowed him to push through with his own personal plan.

'No matter what it takes, I must be able to make her cooperate with us, by all means.'

Aki was currently sitting in the classroom with all her bags to the side, leaned against the wall.

She initially thought that her plan to leave the house with her valuable things was actually effective and would save her the stress and problematic fear and annoyance by simply just leaving it all behind for now.

In short, leaving Feitan behind.

But here she was again, currently facing yet another dilemma after just resolving one of the many dilemmas she has.

'Stupid Aki. I shouldn't have left on whim. Where am I supposed to go, or rather, stay now?' she worriedly thought as she continued to turn the pages of the anatomy book she was reading.

'If only he wasn't cruel enough to actually scare me with that blasted heart. I wonder where he got it though… it looks so real.' She wondered as she lightly traced the illustration of a heart that was sketched into the page of her book.

Her thoughts pondered whether she was just acting hysterically or not, after all, it was just a heart.

A heart by which it looks like it belonged to a human. A human heart.

'Nah. Impossible. It doesn't seem like he'll actually kill a person, with that cute height of his heh.' Aki silently chuckled, turning her attention to the front as soon as the professor came in.

As soon as class started, Aki merely stared out her window, forming different shapes and animals from the clouds. For some reason, she felt at ease in her class now as opposed to her first day.

'It probably must be because I can now somehow keep up with them. I guess studying in advance was a good idea.' She smiled as soon as she brought back her attention to the clouds.

She wondered what Momo was doing right now; she must still be busy with her classes, she thought.

She looked out the window again, her mind idly thinking about random things.

She thought about how she would have to replace her carpet when she gets home.

That is, if she does get home and Feitan doesn't manage to accidentally 'murder' her once he realizes that she left him to fend for himself.

What's new, she thought. Her life always seemed to be in danger whenever she was around Feitan.

Her mind slipped further into random things until it reached the point of remembering Taka.

Taka.

It's been so long since she thought about him, she thought. It must be that her 'numb technique' was effective and working.

In all honesty, Aki was actually trying to avoid thinking about him for the time being; she still could not move on from the incident that occurred last Valentine's Day.

And to make things worse, Taka didn't even have the audacity to contact her, or even attend her graduation.

It's as if they were never in a relationship at all.

Aki, on the other hand, chickened out and didn't even have the guts to confront him, she was afraid of what he might say.

She was scared that he actually might choose Momo's elder sister instead.

She was also in denial that there was a 90% chance that he would.

'Whatever. I want to be the first one to break up with him anyway. It's not like the end of the world to end things with him.' She mentally reasoned out.

But if that's the case, why won't you confront him and end this farce once and for all?

Are you scared he might say yes?

Or… are you afraid that he might say that he dated you just because he pitied you?

This is bullshit Aki. Try using your brain instead of your heart for once.

There's no use if you keep stalling. Sooner or later you have to let him go.

Let him go…

"ARGGH! I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE!" Aki suddenly shouted, attempting to rip her hair out in frustration.

As soon as Aki threw a fit, everyone suddenly went silent, even the professor. They stared wide-eyed at Aki as various voices soon were heard.

"She's crazy. Is she delusional or something?"

"Poor girl… she seems to be having a hard time in this class."

"Fuck is she even fit to be in college? Look at that height of hers!"

"Shut up. She seems pretty cute though…"

'Crap. If I hear one more word about me I swear all hell is gonna break loose.' She thought, her eyes twitching at the people who were currently talking about her.

Whisper whisper.

Whisper.

…

'Okay fuck this. What the fuck is their—'

"She's fine, sensei. Please continue on with your lecture."

The professor looked at Aki weirdly before continuing on with his lecture.

Aki, on the other hand, frantically searched for the source of the voice, wanting to silently thank him, since the voice seemed to belong to a male.

As soon as she turned around towards her back, she was surprised to a guy with snow-white spiky hair and cerulean blue eyes grinning at her, forming a 'peace' sign on his left hand. He was wearing a black shirt, by which under Aki's eyes seemed to be a 'band' shirt; he also had spiky cuffs and a black choker on his neck.

As soon as she was able to take a good look at him, one thing came to her mind:

MY KIND OF PEOPLE!

Aki forgot her anxiety and annoyance at the other people who were making a fuss about her in class and grinned back, forming a 'thumbs up' sign on her right hand.

'Ah, somehow maybe this isn't so bad after all. I'll manage my dilemma later on after class.' She concluded as she started to listen in to her professor.

As soon as class was done, Aki quickly gathered her 'baggage' and was about to go out, until a hand stopped her, the white-haired guy from earlier blocking the doorway.

Aki raised a brow as she stared at the guy, who was several inches taller than her, a grin plastered on his face.

...

?

…

"Uh, excuse me. But you're blocking the doorway you know." Aki finally said, sighing. But then she added, "By the way, thanks for the save earlier. I honestly didn't know what I would end up doing if I kept on hearing those annoying buzzes and whispers."

Yep, Aki honestly didn't have an affinity with strangers.

She even made it a point to stay away from them.

But then again, Feitan, being the stranger was an exception to the rule.

He was some 'lost kitten that need to be saved', she thought.

Or rather, some 'violent and potentially dangerous demonic kitten-looking wolf who can kill you any second'.

The white-haired guy laughed heartily before giving out a sheepish smile.

"Yeah it's cool, I actually would think the same if I was in your position. Now err well…"

"….?"

"Yeah!" He grinned awkwardly before widening his eyes and punching his fist to his palm.

"Oh yeah! I've been meaning to ask you something!"

'One way or another, I can totally see him and Momo getting along well just fine.' She mentally snickered.

Seeing Aki's silence as a sign for him to continue, he proceeded to ask his question.

"Weeeeeell… since you seem to be carrying a guitar, I want to know if you play? I mean, I think that is yours? Or wait is it not? Arrgh! Anyways, I'll be getting direct to the point. Our vocalist already went overseas and our lead guitarist quit because he needed to go to medschool and didn't want any other distraction so… we're kinda short of two members."

'Their lead quit to enter medschool? Feh, sounds very promising. It's ironic that our course is actually medically-related as well, so I don't see the point of quitting a band… or on the contrary, forming one.' She thought.

But then again, bands.

Bands.

Music.

She loved music.

Especially rock, hence, her music choices and ownership of a guitar.

And they were in need of a vocalist and guitarist, by which Aki can perfectly fit in to the role well.

'Think Aki, think…

… You wanted this for a long time now right?

… Isn't it time to change?

… You took up this course for that very reason, right? Man up and move forward. Now's the perfect time to change.'

'Fuck this. This will be all or nothing then.'

Aki playfully rolled her eyes before sighing. Maybe this person couldn't be bad after all, she concluded— since he and Momo seemed to have the same personality.

And that was how the "don't talk to strangers rule" wall of Aki broke down.

"Do you think I'll carry this heavy instrument around just for fun and because it's not mine?"

The white-haired guy looked at her for a moment, his eyes squinting in the process before shifting into a cat-like expression.

"Uhm… yes?"

A vein popped on Aki's forehead as she tried to calm herself down.

Was he really that stupid? She thought.

With a huff she responded, "Well good news buddy. Apparently this electric guitar is mine and I do know how to play, in fact I can rather play it really well, if you want to know about my mastery skills. I can also sing, but then again… me joining your band depends on what genre you play, and if I can get along well with its members, starting from you." 'By which I think you're slowly gnawing at my patience meter.' She silently added.

Sometimes, she honestly thought that she was gradually turning to be like Feitan— always grumpy and suspicious.

The guy laughed again heartily before putting his hands into a 'stop' sign.

"Sorry girl, a feisty one at that, eh? I just want to clarify. You do realize that I don't recruit members out of the blue you know. You know the band, Jinx?"

"Uh… no?"

A horrifying expression suddenly creeped up the guy's face, a mix of surprise and sadness, by which Aki raised a brow.

"OH MY! HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW OUR BAND!YOU'RE TERRIBLE!" he exclaimed, shaking her shoulders violently and making her surprised, swatting his hands away before roughly pushing him.

"What the—? Oh fuck this never mind. I don't have the time to comfort you just because I'm not familiar with your so-called band. Now if you'll excuse me, I still have a shelter to search for." She responded in a silent but deadly tone, walking away and using her guitar as a guard if ever the guy decided to be a brute and yank her attention back through physical force.

By which, he almost did.

"WAAAAAAAAAIT! Fine fine, I'm tryna be chill and all, but we're desperate! My band really wants to join this competition that will be held in this uni a month from now, and we're honestly out of choices, considering how the members must be studying in Tokyo U.I'm desperate dude! I'll treat you to lunch for a week if you'll join!"

Aki stopped walking and turned around him, asking skeptically.

"You will?"

The white-haired guy frantically nodded before immediately adding, "And if it's shelter you're worried about, I know just the place!"

Aki stared at him hard for few minutes, contemplating on what she should do.

'Well, it does seem that he's telling the truth… if all else fails I can just use the self-defense skills I have and save myself. My priority right now is not letting Momo-chan learn about all this right now, this dilemma of mine.'

Yep, Aki didn't want Momo to learn of her predicament.

In fact, she didn't want Momo to learn about it and help her at all.

She looked hard at the guy who was now sweating beads before finally giving up.

"Okay fine."

The white-haired guy pumped his fists to the air while shouting a boisterous "YATTA!" before suddenly coughing, turning calm as well in the process.

He calmly went close to Aki while extending his hand, a big smile plastered on his face.

"The name's Shirokuma Kaneki. But my friends and most people call me Shiro by nickname though, because of my hair."

Aki looked at the hand for a moment before extending hers as well.

"Asada Aki."

Shiro excitedly shook her hand before releasing it and patting her head.

"Well then Aki-kun, welcome to the band!"

'Wait what. Did he just add a 'kun' to my name?' Aki narrowed her eyes at the guy, by which the latter seemed to be oblivious of her expression just now.

And was it just her, or has she found a male version of her best friend, Momo?

"Here we are!" Shiro proudly announced, his hands dramatically spread out.

Aki blankly stared at him before observing the building in front of her.

"And now I present to you, this wonderful building! Behold, one of Tokyo U's dormitories!" he exclaimed, a smile plastered on his face.

Aki rolled her eyes before letting out a small smile— at least her shelter problem was resolved for now.

"Thank you, Shiro-san. I really appreciate this you know."

"Eh?!" Shiro stared at her wide-eyed, as if she suddenly morphed into something grotesque-looking. "No need to be polite and all, Aki-kun! You can just call me Shiro-kun, or Shiro-senpai… since technically I am older than you by a year or two."

"What?" Aki asked, her eyes widening as well.

Shiro grinned awkwardly while taking one of her bags and leading her inside the dorms. "It's a long story, but I swear I'll be telling you mine some time now."

Aki nodded, letting the topic drop; she honestly didn't care whether he repeated a year or what— she wasn't fond of judging people despite her mistrust to strangers in general.

"Well, moving on, I also want to thank you for joining our band. You don't know how much of a life-saver you are, ya know? I'll definitely be introducing you to the rest of the members. I hope you won't get awkward with them or anything though, since we're practically an all-male band." Shiro casually said, a hint of tension and anxiety included.

Aki shrugged her shoulders as she hoisted the guitar strap more securely to her left shoulder as they entered the glass doors.

"It's no big deal, I'm cool with it. That is, as long as no one tries to murder me or something." She added jokingly, suddenly remembering a certain stranger-turned-jerk who actually almost murdered her the first time they met.

"Naaw. All of them are taken and one is well… you'll see." He grinned, before heading to the front desk and speaking with the dorm rep.

After a few minutes of negotiation and another half-hour of touring and paperwork, Aki was finally settled in.

Thank goodness for her family's riches, she thought.

Aki contentedly flopped to her bed in her pink and black pajamas; she was able to snag a single room complete with a bathroom and a mini-kitchen— one of the perks of having an influential family. Who knew that dormitories actually had jewel rooms like this?

"Ah, at least for now my problem is solved" she happily sighed, while taking her phone to send a quick text to Momo.

She briefly scrolled down her contacts and stopped upon seeing Taka's number.

Taka.

…

'Should I try calling him, or shouldn't I? I still need to confirm things with him… or worse, end things with him.'

…

'ARGHHH! I thought I finally made the decision to break up with him?! Be still, my heart, this is for your own good!' she mentally scolded, throwing her phone to the side and clutched her hair in frustration.

After a few minutes of throwing a fit, she retrieved her phone once again, nervously looking at the screen to see if ever her almost-non-existing-cheating-boyfriend had the heart to at least send her a text or something.

But then again, Momo was the one who sent her a text message instead.

Aki continued to reply, feeling a bit guilty inside; now she was the one who wasn't telling things to her best friend.

It's not like she could do anything about it, right?

Aki blew the strands of hair that were obstructing her vision as she stared into the dark ceiling.

"I absolutely cannot let Momo-chan know about this, I wouldn't want to burden her any further. And it's not if that her family hates me enough… in fact they despised me so much that they were against Momo-chan becoming friends, no, best friends with me." She sighed.

If only she didn't have such a bad reputation after her parents' death, thanks to the word trash spread around by her good-for-nothing relatives, who were somewhat social friends with Momo's parents.

That is the reason why she must let Momo out of this; her parents would know if she attempts to help Aki-chan in any way, considering how they can and are able to keep track of Momo's financial expenses, as opposed to how Aki's expenses were not closely monitored.

In fact, they weren't monitored at all.

She sighed and decided to keep her mind clear of Taka and her problems as she turned to her side, slowly drifting off to sleep.

'I hope everything turns out well in the morning…'

It's been a week.

A week of a miniature hell for Feitan.

He grumpily ate another bowl of cereal— his last bowl of cereal, since there weren't any left.

After all, he had a week of dishearteningly having it as a staple meal since Aki's absence.

Speaking of Aki being absent for a week, he was furious that the girl had the guts to walk out on him and leave him alone.

He tried to think of places where she could possibly be, but for some reason, he wasn't able to track her whereabouts.

Yes, even the notorious Feitan isn't capable of efficiently searching for someone out of thin air and with no leads.

Heck, he doesn't even know where Aki studies, except for her old school which was of course, deemed as not useful since she has already graduated and there weren't any possible friends of hers from the lower years.

He also didn't know about the teachers who would possibly be of help and tell him where Aki was currently studying since apparently, Feitan wasn't familiar with the educational system.

In his world, all he knew was about Nen and how to get stronger.

And how to be awfully loyal to the Genei Ryodan.

He read some books, yes, but it wasn't enough to enlighten him with the so called 'school life'.

He glared at the bowl which was now empty, somewhat amazed at himself at the same time.

'It's miracle I survive with only stupid food and convenience ramen.' He grimly thought.

The first few days, he was really tempted to search for Aki, hence, his effort to try to track her whereabouts.

But every time he'd start to move towards the decision to make his lazy ass leave the house and find her, he stopped.

Every time he started to think of searching for her, he hesitated.

And he didn't know what this hesitation was for.

Could it be because of his denial of somewhat feeling 'concerned' about her, or was it merely for his own convenience?

Was it because of his pride, or because he just really didn't care at all?

These questions continued to haunt Feitan every night as he laid his head down to sleep— he seemed to be in endless bouts of confusion ever since he started to feel somewhat used to this world.

And he wasn't sure whether he actually liked this confusion or not.

After finishing his last bowl, he was still in deep thought, before his stomach grumbled.

It was still hungry and attempted to retaliate upon realizing that its owner have been scantily feeding it for a while now.

Feitan glared at cursed as he stood up, finally deciding to leave the house and grab something to eat, and possibly stop by at the arcade for some 'destressing'.

At the moment, killing seemed to be on abstinence right now since he already killed ten people in a span of five days.

Feitan grumpily left the house and sped to the city square, stopping by the arcade.

'Feh. I play first before eat.' He concluded.

But before he was able to enter the building, he suddenly stopped and narrowed his eyes.

Aki grumbled as she ran out of sweets. Again.

'Ugh I think I should cut back on my sweets consumption. I'll be getting Diabetes at this rate if I don't control myself.' She glumly thought as she closed the door to her room with a soft click.

She put on her earphones and zipped up her black hoodie, which perfectly covered a part of her black shorts.

She absently left the dorms and walked towards the city square, a somewhat irritated and bored expression on her face.

She honestly wasn't in the mood to go out now, since today was supposedly her 23rd month of being Taka's girlfriend.

But then again, the latter didn't even made his presence be felt, making Aki dejectedly poison her mind with the thought that Taka was probably 'busy' and wasn't able to attend to her needs right now.

So much for an almost two-year relationship, she thought.

She casually avoided the crowd that seemed to be very lively tonight.

Aki scanned the area before finally deciding on entering a gourmet chocolate shop— she needed high-quality chocolates right now to numb the pain.

However, before she was able to take another step, a sudden breeze passed in front of her. The next moment she opened her eyes, she was already in a dark alleyway. A black shadow looming over her.

'OH SHOOT DON'T TELL ME IT'S-.' She dumbly thought before her mind finally realized that she had to scream.

But then again, before she was able to do so, a hand tightly clamped her mouth shut.

Cold sweat suddenly trickled down Aki's face as her heart started to beat erratically in fear for who her perpetrator was.

But as soon as the headlights from a passing car from the street illuminated the said shadow, her tension suddenly relaxed before tensing once again.

She knew who it was.

But she honestly wasn't sure whether she should be relieved or not.

Aki was brought out of her reverie as the said perpetrator spoke.

"What you doing here and did not come home, stupid girl?"

A/N: Uh, oh Aki. Good luck on staying alive after this chapter. XD

Isella of the wolf tribe: Yay! I am glad. ^_^ Fufufu yes, we won't be able to see the light once Feitan hears about that statement. *dodges a sudden attempted stab from Feitan*

SilverSapphire34523: True! If I was in Aki's position I would have picked up the heart and thrown it at him… and get killed afterwards. Fufufu~~ It made me think of how it would be like if Feitan got to have contact with an actual cat. XD Aww, *pats your back* That's alright. Cats are wonderful one way or another though. ^o^

Chiikaboom: Yay! Thanks for the awesome review *glomps you. ^_^ True, I thought that it was about time Feitan should start to realize his feelings due to the situation he's in. He's human too y'know, sooner or later he'll start to get confused. XD About Taka well… unfortunately he'll be getting some screen time soon. ._. Feitan actually did somewhat grew "concerned" for Aki, she didn't come home for a week for freak's sake. But then again, Feitan is Feitan. He'd rather get murdered than admit his concern for Aki. XD Fufu the lemon scene will~~ ah, soon. *u*

ShadE: Aww thank you so much~! :D

Ruby720: True! Ah, Feitan is indeed one twisted being. Tsk, he wouldn't be able to get a girlfriend that way. XD *dodges another attempted stab from Feitan* And thank you so much! I'm glad I was still somehow able to keep him in character. To be honest, my greatest fear is ruining Fei-sama's personality. T~T Ooh! I hope I somewhat was able to satisfy your Killua-fangirl cravings though, even for a bit. ^_^

Misheru25: Domo arigatou~! ^_^ Indeed, hah Aki's expression in that scene would definitely be totally hilarious. She be like, 'oh no I think my soul has left me' or something. XD

Comments, reviews, suggestions, criticisms and whatnot are very much accepted and highly appreciated, thank you!
