I arrived at an apartment. I looked at the ivory building. It has 5 floors and a balcony for each room. I walked behind Gon and Killua, who leads me towards the elevator. I went into the elevator and waited the elevator's door to close. Gon pushed the '3' button and I felt my feet not on the ground anymore. The elevator was moving until it reached the third floor.
TING!
The bell from the elevator rang, which is the signal that we arrived on the third floor. Killua stepped out first. I waited for Gon to go ahead, but he pushed the 'open' button and let me out first. I went out from the elevator and searched Killua. I looked to my left, but there is no sign of him. I looked to my right, and I found him. I followed him. I looked at the sign next to the elevator and tried to guess the room number. Right: 301-310, Left: 311-320. Sometimes, I can predict something accurately, only if I'm in the mood to do it. Well, it's one of the fairy powers, though. Let's see… Maybe… 303?
Click!
I heard a click from 3 meters away from me. Killua just slid his apartment key to the censor thingy. He opened the door and let me in first. I looked at the door number. It's 303. See?
"Thanks" I said to Killua and passed him. I looked at my surroundings. It's… quite big for an apartment! I ran through from living room, to the kitchen. There are not very much cooking utensils, just 1 pot, 1 frying pan, some spoons and forks. I checked the refrigerator. There are lots of kokorobokun. No vegetables, no fruits, no meats, just… kokorobokun.
'Heh…' I thought in mind. I closed the fridge and ran again to the bathroom.
"Hey, don't run around like that. You make the floor shaking, you know?" Killua told me. I saw him put the prize on the table in the living room, but I ignored him.
I opened the bathroom's door slowly and peeked inside. I gasped because it's quite big. There is a tub, a shower, a toilet, and a sink and mirror. It's decorated with light brown ceramics and some bottle soaps on the sink. I closed the door slowly and ran again to the bedrooms.
"Setsu, I told you not to run in the apartment! You make the floor shaking" Killua told me again. Now, he opened the fridge and grabbed kokorobokun but still, I ignored him.
I opened the first bedroom's door. I stepped inside the light turquoise blue-ish and blue dongker-ish room. There is a window, a closet, a cupboard, and a queen size bed. Then, I looked to my left. I saw a desk with a black laptop on it. I touched the laptop, and I felt something on my fingers. Dust. It's… so dusty!
"Cough… Coughh…" I coughed because of the thick dust floating around in the air. I couldn't stand it, so I ran to the kitchen to breath some fresh air.
"What's wrong, Setsu?" Gon asked with concerned because of my cough.
"Who… Whose room is that?" I asked while pointing to the first bedroom.
"It's Killua's. Why?"
"It's so dusty!" I said.
"So?" Killua said. Now, I really, really, really ignored him.
"Do you have a thin cloth or a face towel that you don't use anymore?" I asked Gon.
"Hmmm… Lemme check, first" he went to the second bedroom. I guess it must be his bedroom. While waiting, I tied my hair with my hairclip.
"What are you going to do? Don't mess up with my room" Killua said to me. I heard him, but I said to myself I will ignore him, remember?
Then, Gon came to me with a face towel that is not quite white. I took it and wash it in the kitchen sink. I squeezed the towel and I went to Killua's bedroom again.
"Oi! Don't do anything with my room!" I heard Killua said that again.
'Really, I will ignore him while I'm cleaning' I said in my mind. I wiped the dust with the towel from the desk, laptop, cupboard, and then the window. Gon watched me from the hallway outside the room.
"Gon, give me a broom" I said to him.
"Okay, wait a moment" he said to me. I went out the room and went to the living room. I wiped the table, but the prize distracted me. I put the prize on the floor and kept wiping the table.
"Here! The broom, Setsu" Gon said to me and handed the broom. I went back to Killua's room and swept the floor from the corner near the window, and then under the bed, and kept going until I reached the hallway. I also swept the hallway, and then the kitchen, then the living room.
"Ehmmm… Setsu, do you want me to help you?" Gon asked to me.
"Yes, please bring me the mop and then sweep your room too" I said.
"Okay!" he answered cheerfully.
"Sigh…" I heard Killua's sigh. I looked at him. He looked at me. I looked at him. He looked back. Then, I ignored him and went to Killua's room.
"Here is the mop, and also you need the bucket. I already filled it with water and floor soap" Gon startled me.
"Thanks, Gon" I said with a big smile. I took the mop and put in the bucket and squeezed it. I started to mop from the corner again and I heard…
Tok Tok Tok Tok…
'Huh?' I stopped for a moment from my cleaning, but I ignored the sound and kept mopping. I prefer to mop than sweep, though. It's easier mopping because I just have to slide the mop on the floor. Not like sweeping, I have to sweep the same spot over and over again until there is no dust left. Now, I was mopping the hallway. Then, I smelled something… The smell was very strong…
Cresh Cresh Creshh…
I heard again the weird noise. I still focused on my mopping, though. I was heading towards the kitchen. There, I saw a firm and steady figure. He wore a black turtleneck and a trousers. He was standing in front of the stove and sautéing garlics and onions. Then, I saw he put in fish.
"What? There are fish? But I didn't see any…" I said.
"You opened the wrong door. Try to open the upper door" Killua said while holding the wood spatula. I continued mopping and reached beside him.
"Your feet" I said.
"Oh, sorry" he moved to the floor that I already mopped.
"NO!" I shouted. I covered my mouth and looked at him. He shocked.
"S-Sorry. I mean, please put your feet on the top of the mop and squeeze the mop with your feet" I said.
"W-What? Why should I do that?" Killua asked.
"Well, look at your foot's bottom part" I said. He rose up his foot to see the bottom part, and it was pretty much black.
"See? I told you to squeeze the mop with your feet so that your feet will be clean" I told him. He sighed and put his feet on top of the mop. He squeezed the mop and tried to clean the dust that covered his feet.
"Thanks" I said to him with a big smile when he finished. I mopped again and went towards the living room, but a hand stopped me.
"Setsu, come here" Killua reached my elbow and took me nearer to him by putting his hand on my waist. I looked at him confused.
"Try this" he took a spoonful of miso soup from a pot and put it near my lips. I blew to make it colder and tasted it.
"Yummy!" I told him.
"Really? Huff… I'm glad. I thought it would be a disaster"
"Wait. Is this your first time cooking?"
"Nope. Well, this is not my first time but sometimes I watch my butlers cook my meals. So, I kinda know how to cook"
"But, still, it's so damn good!"
"Hahaha, thanks" he said to me with a smile. Then, he took back his hand from my waist. I guess it is my cue to mop back again. But, I felt somehow… disappointed? Sad?
"Setsu, I have swept my room. Do you need any help again?" Gon startled me.
"Huh? Ah… yes. Here, continue the mop. And don't forget to mop your room too" I said. I walked towards the kitchen.
"And, Gon… Maybe you want to squeeze the mop first with your feet. They must be black because of the dust" I said. He looked me confused, and rose his foot to see the bottom part. It is black. He got what I said.
"Let me help you prepare the meals" I said to Killua. I slid the kitchen drawer to make it open and took some spoons, forks, or maybe chopsticks?
"Do you use chopsticks or spoon?" I asked.
"Chopsticks" he answered.
"Okay" I took the chopsticks and place them neatly on the dining table.
"Setsu, plate" Killua asked me to hand him a plate. I searched a plate for the fish. I opened the lower cupboard. I saw other cooking utensils, like pots and its covers. I closed and opened the upper cupboard that hanging on the wall. I saw glasses on the first row and plates on the second row above the glasses. I tried to reach one of the plates, but it's too high.
I tiptoed once…
I couldn't reach it.
twice…
I touched it but I didn't take it.
and third!
I took a plate out, but I lost my balance.
'Oh no…'
The plate that I took dragged all the plates under it, which made all of them fall from the cupboard. All the plates were going to fell on me, so I reflexed closing my eyes.
…
'Huh?' I waited.
'Nothing happen?' it was pitch black cause I still closed my eyes.
"Are you really a hunter? You stumbled on your own foot!" I heard his voice near me. I opened my eyes slowly. The first one that I saw is… Killua's face. Then, I looked at my front. I saw plates and… they're floating? I tried to strengthen my back so that I can move my body forward. I just realized that Killua carried me in bridal style, and with plates on his left hand.
"Wha-What are you doing? Get me down!" I said while swinging my legs and pushed him aside.
"Oi! Don't move around! The plates will fell again if you keeps moving" he told me. I felt my face heating up. He put the plates on the kitchen table and put me down. I smelled something burned.
"Waah! My fish!" Killua focused on his cooking now. He turned off the stove, took one of the plates and quickly moved the fish from the frying pan while mumbling, which I don't get what it is. It's kind of cute when he panicked like this. Before I know, I already smiled. I touched his back and say…
"Thank you… Killua"
We were in silence. I don't know what he was thinking at that time. He didn't even turn around to look at me. He just… stood still.
"Killua, have you done the cooking? I'm hungry!" Gon startled us. I quickly took the rice to the dining table. Killua did the same for the fish and the miso soup.
"Sorry, Gon. The fish got burned" Killua apologized.
"Well, it's okay. You did a great job already" he said with a big smile.
"Itadakimasu!" we all said that and started eating. While we were eating, Gon shared some stories and Killua sometimes commented. When I saw Killua's smile, my heart skipped a beat. I gripped my cloth cause I felt my heart hurt. My heart hurt because I'm not used to the heartbeat. It's too fast. Too fast for me.
Before I realized…
I want to see his smile.
I want to see him smiling.
Always…
Always.
*Actually, I don't know either what kind of nen Setsu is... I'm not really good in nen (manipulator, conjurer, etc...) So... I don't know XD Sorry guys!
