the characters here will be OOC and you will also find it in the future chapters. So I just hope you won't kill me for it. :D

also, it says here, chapter 2 because the previous one should be chapter 1. I'm too lazy right now to fix it but I promise that I will in the future.

Thanks to Rawiyah-Taliesin for the review.. and I also want to thank all the people who read it..

Disclaimer: I don't own hxh.. but I really want to have Killua.. can I?

I'm now presenting the new chapter. Enjoy reading!

Inescapable Destiny

Chapter 2: A Promise Of The Past

"Can this place really be called a room?" Killua asked himself as he wanders his eyes from one corner of the room to the other. The room is enough for one person to sleep in but the problem is the place looks like it will collapse anytime. The wall is full of cracks and the paint is fading. There is a bed at the corner of the room and it looks like it will break the moment you sit on it.

Oh well, it's better than nothing besides this is the only place that I can afford with my money. I've been spending too much. Maybe I should learn to control myself in myself in using the money especially now that I can't use my hunter card. I don't want Gon to find me because of using it. Besides, I can earn money without relying on it.

Killua placed his things on the bed and decided to look for a job. But every stores he went, he was immediately rejected because of his age. But not all stores rejected him because of the same reason. Sometimes, he was just too picky regarding work.

"The only job I know is to assassinate someone," Killua whispered to himself as he left the umpteenth store he asked for a job. Maybe I should consider taking a job again like that.

SLAP!

Killua slapped himself for thinking those words. He promised to himself and to Gon that he will stop killing people. But realizing that Gon is not by his side, the promise he made was slowly fading from his mind.

The boy decided to return his rented room since he can't look for a job that can satisfy his taste. He was depressed because he knows he have a lot of potential and this remote town can't seem to notice that. He walked towards his new home while his mind was somewhere else.

"Wonder what Gon is doing now? I bet that he's looking for father this very moment. He would surely not waste his time looking for a person who abandoned him." Killua was deep in thought and didn't notice that he was about to bump someone until they collided with each other.

Ouch. That hurts. Killua rubbed his chin as he looked at the other he bumped into.

"Didn't know your reflexes were that bad, Killua-niichan." A child wearing a kimono stared at him with an expressionless face.

Kalluto?! What are you doing here?" Killua was surprised to see his younger brother and furthermore, he's still wearing a girl's outfit eventhough he's not inside the Zaoldyeck estate anymore.

"why? I was searching for you, of course."

"I'm not going back. I already told them and father agreed to it." Killua was about to leave when Kalluto got hold of his shirt.

"I'm not here to bring you back. I'm here for the promise you made a long time ago," Kalluto said as he walked in front of his brother.

"Killua's eyes widened at the mention of the word promise. It was a word that has a value for him. He treasured and fulfilled all the promises he made in the past. And that why he's alone right now. He's fulfilling a promise he made. But how, how can he forget the most important promise he had ever made? How can he neglect and enjoys himself with Gon while his promise was still hung in the air?

"killua-niichan, are you alright?" Kalluto snapped Killua out of his thoughts.

"wha? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Let's go to my room. I'm sure you're tired considering the distance of this town from the city." Killua moved towards his new apartment while Kalluto trailed behind him.

"I see that you are alone. Are you starting to fulfill the promise?" Kalluto just noticed not that Gon is not with his brother.

"well.. about that.."

"you never break a promise before but since you met that boy, you forgot all about me and Alluka-niicahn. Have you really forgotten about the promise?"

"Kalluto, I.."

"you promise to find and bring Alluka-niichan back." Kalluto's eyes stared at the purple eyes in front of him. Killua saw sadness in those eyes but he can only see it because they share a strong siblings bond that they hid from the other members of their family.

"yes, I'll find Alluka no matter what. I promise." Killua then hugged his little brother.

Chapter 2, finished. Hope you enjoyed it!

And, yes. I'm including Alluka, the fourth son of the Zoaldyeck family in my story and I just hope you will like his character here.
