Alice: New Chapter people!
Aries: Gon, Kurapika, Killua and Leorio aren't ours!
Everyone: Yeah!
Moments passed and Gon still hasn't gotten out from the bathroom .They were suppose to meet up with Kurapika and Leorio outside the mansion where The New Year's Ball was held and Killua was already in his formal clothes. It was to be an extravagant event to celebrate not only The New Year, but also the return of Neon's ability to predict the future through prophecies and poems.
"Hey Gon! Are you ready yet?" Killua shouted at his female friend for the seventh time. Killua was wondering what the girl has bought since she asked him to stay outside a certain store and came out with the store's shopping bag.
"Fine! But you have to help me with something!" Gon replied. The bathroom door swung open after Killua gave out a loud agreeing 'kay'. He stood there flushed and stunned by the appearance of his secret love. Her hair was curled; the top half of it was tied into a bun and the bottom half was left alone, completing it was a red butterfly hairclip at the right side of her head. She wore a yellow knee-length dress with detached sleeves and black silk gloves that leaves two-third each of her ten fingers bare.
Killua snapped out when he realized Gon was in front of him, her back facing him. "Zip this up for me. I can't reach it no matter how hard I try." He did he was told and realized two things; there was cloth with hooks that was, well, hooked and the gold locket that held a photo of them which she had gotten for Christmas from him around her neck. Both had made our dear assassin flush at his reddest.
"L-let's go!"
"Wait! I forgot something!" Gon announced, rushing towards the coffee table at the corner of the hotel room.
"Ugh! Hurry up or I'll unhook that bra of yours!" Killua halted from walking towards the door and blushed, yet again, at his unscripted words.
"You do that, and these heels, go through that one part of your body, where the sun doesn't shine," Gon answered. Killua decided to look at the shoes that she was wearing to decipher what she meant by 'heels'. The shoes were red leather slippers with stiletto heels at the back. Ouch. Well, expect our very blunt Gon to get sharper after travelling around the world for three years as professional hunters.
And a lot more rough.
"You guys are late. Usually it's you guys who get here first. What happened?" Kurapika asked as Killua and Gon arrived outside the mansion.
"Blame Miss Short-Hands here for taking a long time in the bathroom," Killua answered.
"Hey, if it wasn't for me you'd still be sleeping in the bathtub," Gon counter with a glare.
"You guys are sharing the same room?" Leorio asked another question.
"Yeah, it's the only vacant room left," Killua answered, again. "Come on. Let's get inside. it's getting colder out here."
So then, they entered the mansion and looked around the 6 stadium-wide and 3-story high room. An exquisite chandelier. Wine. Exotic food from around the region. Wine. Soothing background music. Wine. A beautiful ice-sculpture. Even more wine. None those items seemed to make the 3 invited hunters frozen in awe since it did not exceed their expectations. Gon thought the chandelier would be made out of diamond, or at least topaz, entirely, Killua was expecting the food to be from outside the continent and Leorio imagined that the ice-sculpture would be made out of wine itself.
"Well, I have to go and get someone else so, you guys go on ahead," Kurapika said as he shoved his phone back into his pocket.
"Don't make her wait, my dear prince," Leorio commented before getting a generous gift from the blonde. A nice foot to the face.
"One more word and you, Doctor Leorio, would have to do surgery to your own face." Then Kurapika left with hue of blush that could match his scarlet eyes when activated. Killua didn't care at all and decided to invite Gon to the buffet table. But when turned to his right to call out for her, his heart broke into a million and one pieces. There she was, head down at the direction of the floor with a blush and a goofy smile plastered on her face as she watches the blonde walk out the door.
"Maybe she fell for him, he fell for her back and got together without telling me. I should be happy but, why aren't I?"
"Killua, what's wrong?" Gon asked with worry. Killua shook his head, inaudibly giving a 'nothing'."Okay then. If you need me, I'll be at the buffet table." Then she walks off. No matter how sharp she had gotten, she will never realize his love for her. Instead of diving for the food which he planned just a while ago, he decides to go to a corner and watch the whole event. Around ten minutes later, he discovered a crowd of men at the side of the buffet table. He took a more careful look and saw Gon kindly rejecting a glass of beer.
"I'm sorry but I'm still quite underage to drink this," Gon answered the big and bulky red haired man with green eyes.
"Well then Little Miss, why not you come with us. We will give you a good night."
"It's okay. I should be getting back to my friend now; he's probably getting worried about me." Gon walked away from them to escape but one of the guys grabbed her right wrist and pinned it to her back. "Okay that's it. No more manners! This guys need to be taught a lesson!" Just when she was about to give horse kick, she realized one thing about the guy holding her. He was a manipulation-type nen-user .
"Girl, if my skin gets in contact with anybody's skin, they become paralyzed and their aura immediately goes into Zetsu mode," the man explained. Just when he was about to run his free hand under Gon's dress, Killua age gave the man a reassuring punch until Gon fell forwards.
"Gotcha'," Kurapika whispered as he caught the falling girl. Gon watched as Killua –and Leorio- give those filthy men a good beating. Soon, the guards came and kicked them out for causing trouble during the ball. Apparently, Light Nostrad is not fond of young, clean girls getting raped. Who knew?
"Are you okay, Gon?" Killua came and asked for her well-being. He didn't get an answer from the saved and decided to ask again, "Gon, you okay or not?" This time waving his hands in front of her.
"Oh, y-yeah. I'm good. I want to go to the restroom for a while," Gon finally answered with a light blush on her face. Kurapika gave her some directions and she left quickly. Killua mentally sighed, of course she would be nervous. It was Kurapika who had caught her not me.
Time had passed and Kurapika, Killua, Gon and Leorio danced, ate and not surprisingly, Leorio got a tad drunk. Alice, another girl they have met during hunter exams and passed together with them, was there too drinking more wine than Leorio and what shocked them the most was that, she hasn't got drunk. Yet. A while later, Gon had just realized that Killua wasn't in the mansion anymore. After a few turn here and there, her phone beeped and saw her best friend's name on the screen. "Meet me outside the mansion's garden. It's at the back of it. –Kill"
Not asking any questions, she decided to follow orders and head out to the slight cold. She saw Killua looking at his phone with his back leaning on the tree where it's leaves are still intact even though it was winter. "Hey. You wanted to see me?"
"Yeah. Umm… I want to tell you something."
"Me too. Why don't you go first?"
"No, you go. Ladies first."
"But you're the one who invited me here."
"Fine, why not we say what we what to say to each other at the same time." Gon gave an agreeing nod. "Okay. One, two, three."
"I love you!" they both said in unison. "Wait, what?"
"I thought you loved Kurapika!" Killua exclaimed.
"Why would I do that?"
"Because he's handsome, smart, down-to-earth and you're making me sound gay!"
"You're not gay and Kurapika is engaged, you idiot."
"He's engaged? With who?"
"I told you to go that you should go and give your phone number to him. He's engaged with Alice," answered and after a three second silence she finally spoke again. "So, you really love me?"
"I don't know. You tell me," Killua then answered Gon's question and pulled her waist then, brushed his lips onto hers. On instinct, Gon snaked her arms around his neck, slowly and gently pulling him closer, enjoying the kiss while it lasted. They parted for a while and rejoined. This time, Killua's tongue has penetrated her barrier and then tastes her cavern passionately. They parted again and Killua placed his forehead onto Gon's and said, "Will you be mine?"
With her still blushing face, she answered, "I will as long as you're willing to be mine." Then, becoming the dominant one, kissed him again.
They walked hand-in-hand back inside the mansion where the slow dance was about to start. Killua smirked and let go of her hand. "May I have this dance, my fair lady?" Killua offered his hand.
"Of course, dear gentleman," she took his hand strode towards the dance floor. "By the way, I know about the kiss you put on my forehead a few nights ago."
"Our game has ended. Our little game of Heart-and-seek."
Alice: I know. I know. "Alice? Really?" Well, I'm too lazy to come with a new name. -whisper- And i want to be with Kurapika.
