Killua PoV

I quickly used my 'godspeed' to catch up with her.

'I don't want it end up like this. It'll be awkward if I let this be' I thought in mind. I felt she ran through the market area, and then passed the library, and… she stopped at the mall? As I arrived in front of the mall, I saw a girl that was really reckless. She hit herself on the wall and 'almost' collapsed. I quickly ran and grabbed her. She touched her forehead. From the look, I know she suffered from the pain.

'Ugh… it must be really painful' I thought. Then, she just closed her eyes and sleep. I was about to use 'godspeed' to get home, but…

I picked my phone from my pocket with my right hand. I looked at the screen to see who it was.

"Hello, Gon?" I answered.

'Killua, where are you? I saw they already clean up the chocolate house!'

"Let's meet in the house. I'll tell you later"

'Kay' Gon hung up his phone.

'I'm glad that Gon is someone who understand the situation' I thought. Gon never asks the detail things if it's an emergency situation because he knows that I will tell him the truth later. I put my phone to my pocket again. I activated my nen and carried Setsu to home.

As I arrived, there was no one at home which means Gon hasn't arrived yet. I walked to my room and lied Setsu down on my bed. I ran through the kitchen and looked for some ice in the fridge. I took one pack of ice and went back to the room. I put the ice on her forehead.

"I'm home!" I heard a voice from outside the bedroom, followed by a sound of door being closed. I ran to the living room to welcome Gon.

"Gon!" I said as I walked to the living room.

"What happened, Killua?"

"S-Setsu…"

"What's wrong with Setsu?"

"She… She bumped her head on the wall"

"…"

"…"

There was a silence. Awkward…

"H-How come?" he asked while taking a seat on the sofa.

"Ehmm… Well, she won today but she made fun of me" I sat too on the floor.
"Like what?"

"Like this" I handed the paper from my pocket. He read it.

"Then?"

"I carried her to a street where no one around. Then I told her to pay what she did to me because she made me angry"

"Killua, you're like a child!"

"Hey! It really pissed me off, okay?"

"Go on" he asked me to continue the story.

"Then… I was about to… kiss her" I blushed as I said those words.

"…" Gon just stayed silent.

"B-But I didn't kiss her, okay? That's because she pushed me away. Then, she asked me whether I like her. I don't know what she meant by 'like' so I was just joking around" I said.

"Then?"

"Then… she got mad"

"Sigh… You know what, Killua? I think you like her"

"W-What do you mean? Of course I like her"

"NO! I mean not as a friend but as a girlfriend"

"…" I blinked. One time… two times… three times… I couldn't speak a word.

"Sigh… Killua, you're really suck at love"

JLEB!

Gon's words pierced through my body. I felt like I was so horrible in love. I mean, she's my first friend, yet I don't know anything about her. Well, just… a little bit.

"Sigh…" I sighed. I stood up from my seat and went to my room. Gon followed me from behind. I took a chair that was in front of my desk and moved it near the bed. I sat on the chair while Gon standing beside me. I took the pack of ice on her forehead. I saw her forehead where she was hit. It's already turned a little bit blue.

"Ugh… it must be really painful" Gon said as he saw the blue-ish skin on Setsu's forehead. I flipped the pack of ice to the other side and pasted it to her forehead.

"She used her nen and escaped. Of course I followed her. Then, I saw her bumped on the wall" I said while fixing up her hair that was covering her face.

"…" Gon didn't say anything.

"Sigh… I was an idiot. I shouldn't joke in a time like that"

"Yeah"

"…"

"…"

Silence…

Awkward…

"Anyway, Leorio said he will come tomorrow" I said.

"Great! How about Kurapika?"

"He can go anytime"

"Okay"

"…"

"…"

Silence again…

Awkward…

"I'll let you be alone" Gon said.

"Thanks" I replied. Gon walked outside the bedroom and closed the door. My attention was back to Setsu. She slept like the sleeping beauty, afraid that she won't wake up again. I stood up and leaned my head near hers. I wanted to kiss her, but…

"ARGH! I can't!" I sat back on my chair and looked away to the other side. I was too embarrassed to see Setsu's face. Before I know, I blushed. I tried to calm myself.

DUAR!

"What the-" I shocked. It was the thunder. I walked to the window beside the bed and peeked through the curtain. It's already dark outside. Moreover, it's raining. I sat back on my chair.

'Come on. She must be already wake up by now' I worried. I looked at the clock. It's almost 6 p.m. I looked at her and held her left hand. Her hand was cold like ice so I warmed them by blowing my breath against her hand.

"Killua! Dinner!" Gon shouted from the kitchen.

"Later!" I shouted from my bedroom, saying that I will eat later but… I heard footsteps.

DAP DAP DAP DAP!

CREAK!

The door opened. I looked at the door. Gon stood on the door and said…

"Come on, Killua! Eat! Now!" Gon insisted. I don't know since when he became my mom.

"Don't wanna" I resisted.

"Sigh… Okay. I'll leave the food in the fridge if you're hungry"

"Kay" I replied. When he closed the door, I focused on Setsu again. I just realized that I was still holding her hand. I wonder how she felt when I left her at that time. I pressed my lips on her hand. I tried to remember my memories…

'Setsu…'

My eyes were closed slowly. I felt like my power was gone. My surrounding became dark and, finally, it became pitch black. I heard someone called me from far away…

'Onii-chan!'

'Huh? Alluka? Where is this?'

'I brought Onii-chan to the past. It's time for Onii-chan to know what's going on'

Then, I saw something like a movie. Some scenes replayed right in front of me. This is…

'When Onii-chan saw her for the first time' I heard Alluka. I saw myself stood in a room. It's quite fancy too. There, I saw Setsu with my lil' old self. My hand was full of blood but she turned it to chocolate. I was pretty much amazed when she did that.

'That was the first time I know about chocolate and became a fan of chocolates' I said to myself.

Then, Alluka brought me to another scene. The setting is in a dark room with a window on my left. I saw Illumi and my mom near the window. The moon was up beautifully and made me couldn't see their faces clearly, but I was sure that those persons are Illumi and mom.

'Come back to home, Kill. Otherwise, I'll send Illumi to kill her' I heard my mom said that. I saw 'lil self on my right. He walked to mom and Illumi with a sad face. He turned his face back to a bed where a girl was sleeping there. With his final glance to his best friend, he left her alone in the night.

'Goodbye… Setsu'

Setsu PoV

It's cold. I heard thunder and water dropped on the window. I opened my eyes slowly to see where I am. The scent of the bed was familiar. I looked at my top. The blanket is dark blue, not pink.

'Wait… This is not my room…' I thought. This is Killua's room. I almost forgot that I live with them right now. I sleep in Killua's bedroom, while Killua and Gon sleep in Gon's bedroom. I tried to get up on my bed with my left hand but I couldn't move it. I check to see what's wrong with it but what I found is… Killua was sleeping on my hand. I quickly get up on the bed with my right hand. Unfortunately, my head suddenly hurt so I went back lying on the bed. I touched my forehead that was hurt. It was so painful.

"You're awake?" I startled with the sound. It's from Killua. I wanted to say 'yes' but I couldn't let out a word out. My throat was dried so I just nodded instead of saying 'yes'. Then, he touched my forehead and said…

"Don't get up. You bump hard on the wall. It must be painful. I'll take your breakfast here and some ice too" he took a bag of water, or maybe it was ice in the first place, beside me. He was about to go, but I grabbed his cloth. He stopped and turned back at me.

"Hmm? What's up?" he asked. I tried to say 'water' but I just couldn't. This made me really annoyed, but I tried to say it with my gesture. My right hand made as if it was holding a glass and swung it to my mouth. I kind of shocked that he understood it too.

"Wait a moment" he opened the door and left it opened. I heard he talked to Gon. Not so long after that, he walked with a glass of water on his hand. He handed the glass to me. I took it, but he kept on holding it to make sure I didn't drop the glass. Fresh water ran through my throat. Now, I felt little bit fresher and I could speak now.

"Thank you" I said. He put the glass on the table.

"Do you want to eat anything?" he asked.

"Hmmm… Yeah. Anything"

"I mean, what do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you"

"Nah, just something in the fridge and warm it with microwave please" I don't want to be a burden to him. I knew he slept here all over the night. He must be tired.

"I'll cook fried rice for you" he said it and walked to the door.

"Hey! I said I don't want a cook food" I shouted but he ignored me. He kept walking to the door.

"Killua!" I shouted again. Now, he stopped and turned his face back to me.

"I'll be mad" he looked at me.

"I! Don't! Want!" I shouted and glared to him.

"Fried rice? Ok" he ran to the kitchen.

"ARGH!" I annoyed and felt the pain on my forehead again. I touched my head and felt a bump. I was glad that I have bangs, which I can cover it with the bangs.

"Setsu, how are you feeling?" I heard Gon came into the room.

"Not really good"

"Is it hurt?"

"Yeah, really painful"

"Do you want more ice?"

"Yes, please. And, also take my handbag please" I said to him. He gladly took my handbag and a pack of ice. Then, he handed both of them to me. I put the ice on my bed and tried to search something in my handbag. I felt something soft and pull it away from the handbag. It's a small pocket with a compact mirror in it. I opened the mirror to see how my forehead became. The result didn't make me really shock, as I knew how painful it was. Of course, it would look bad.

"Ugh… it's scary..." I said while looking at my reflection, the purple-ish skin on my forehead more precisely. I closed the mirror and put it inside he pocket neatly. Then, I threw it into the bag and put the bag aside. I applied the ice again to my forehead.

"Argh… This is all because of him!" I shouted so that he can hear me. I was calmed before but when I saw my head, my anger started to rise again. Maybe I would die because of high blood pressure.

"Well, please forgive my friend, Setsu. He's an idiot in love" Gon said to me.

"Huh?" I confused.

"Let me tell you this… Actually, he cares for you. He just too embarrassed to admit it. He didn't want to eat last night, just because he was worried about you"

"…" I was in silence, tried to convert the words that Gon just said.

One second…

Two seconds…

Three seconds…

"WHAT! THE HELL! BRING HIM HERE!" I shouted.

"Killua, you heard her"

"I was cooking. Hold on, okay?"

I couldn't stay calm. I pushed away the ice on my head and got up from my bed. I ran to the kitchen to say…

"Why did you care about me? You're only playing around with me, so what makes you care? I know I'm just your friend, but I can take care of myself! And, moreover, it is YOU who must eat right now. Go away" I pushed him aside from the kitchen and continued his work.

I saw some cut vegetables but some of them were still uncut. I took the knife and started to chop on the chopping board. But suddenly, my head was hurt and I accidentally cut myself.

"Ouch!" I threw the knife and held my finger that was bleeding.

"Damn it, Setsu! You don't know the words 'hold on'?" he quickly took my finger and put it inside his mouth. I felt his tongue licked my finger. My body felt hot, especially my face, and I know that I blushed. He looked at me deeply and I saw worriedness in his eyes.

"Here! The first aid box!" Gon told us. I thought that we, both of us, forgot that Gon was there.

"Great" Killua took the box and opened it with his left hand, while his right hand still held my finger. He took a band-aid and applied it to my finger neatly. I rubbed my finger softly and said…

"Thank you" I was still blushing. I couldn't see his eyes right now because I was too embarrassed.

"Look, Setsu. I admit it that I was wrong on joking around that time. It's just… because…" he said.

"He's too embarrassed, Setsu" Gon said impatiently.

"Shut up, Gon!" I saw Killua blushed.

"Yeah, I know that I was too embarrassed and that's why I joked. More importantly, you asked me why I cared? That's because… I… I…" he continued.

"I'll leave you guys alone" Gon said to us and left.

"Yeah?" I waited and crossed my arms impatiently.

"That's because I care you more than just a FRIEND" he bolded his words when he said 'friend'.

"Yeah, I know that I am your FIRST FRIEND" I rolled my eyes.

"More than that" he took my right hand to his chest. I felt a loud heartbeat came from inside his chest. I looked at him in the eyes to see what he meant. His eyes showed me something that couldn't be said with words. Careness, neediness, worriedness, all of expression were mixed into one. I had to say something but… I couldn't find a word! I just took away my right hand and looked away. When I was about to walk to my bedroom, he caught my left arm and turned me to face him again.

"W-What?" I asked. He looked like he wanted to say something but…

"Nevermind" he just looked away and let me go. I quite confused at that time but I just quickly went into Gon's bedroom. I saw him playing the JoyStation again.

"Did he confess?" he asked.

"Nope" I said.

"What? Sigh… Killua really sucks"

"I think he cares me just because I'm his first friend or best friend or whatever. That's all. No more. No less."

"No, I don't think so"

"Trust me, Gon"

"Wanna make a bet?"

"Nope, I'm not a gambler" I said.

"Okay" he continued his playing. I looked to the window and daydreamed. My thoughts replayed the scene that was in the kitchen just now. When he caught my arm, his eyes looked like he wanted to say something.

'I wonder what he wanted to say'
