Hi, guys. It's been a long time. I just finished my final exams. YOSH!
HXH IS NOT MINE!
"Let's go meet Alluka"
"Cough…" I finally coughed after trying hard to hold it back.
"Cough cough… Cough!" I covered my mouth with my right hand while trying to calm my throat down.
"H-Hey, are you alright?" he asked and gave me his glass. I accepted the glass and gulped down the water right away. Well, as you know, I usually turned my water into chocolate so it will not make me calm, instead it will make my cough worse.
"Ahh…" I exhaled and put the glass back on the table.
"Thank you" I said.
"Sorry about that"
"No, it's okay. Anyway, Alluka is your brother, right?" I asked him for a confirmation.
"Yeah, he lives pretty near"
"Where?"
"Well, it's on the 44th street" he said.
"Eh? In Hyurin?" I was shocked.
"Yeah"
"I thought your brother lived in your home" I referred to the zaoldyck mansion.
"Nope, Alluka come with me but she has so many things she wants to do so…"
"Eh? 'She'?" I asked confusedly.
"Ehmmm… I preferred him as my sister"
"EH?! D-Don't say that… you have a brother complex…" I conjectured. I saw him looked at me annoyed.
"You'll understand why when you see her" he continued eating his pancakes and I did the same.
'44th street? That's near Sachii' I thought.
"So, what is she doing right now?" I asked.
"Well, you'll see…" he looked like he didn't want to tell me.
"Okay…" I said. I thought that Alluka had many things that I didn't know. I hope I got her permission to be his girlfriend. Then, the idea came across my mind about why Killua came up with an answer pretty fast. He must have thought about this from years before. The idea was he must invite his girlfriend to meet Alluka when Killua found 'the right one'.
"I want you to meet Alluka as my girlfriend" he said it softly. When I heard him saying 'my girlfriend', I felt my lips made a curve. Before I knew, I was already smiling.
"Thanks" I said. I didn't get any reply so I looked at him. I saw him eating his pancakes quickly while blushing.
'So cute!' I thought. I felt like I want to hug him. My hands moved by themselves towards him. He noticed my hands were getting near him and he looked at me shock. I realized what I was doing and took back my hands quickly.
"Eh? What are you going to do?" he asked.
"Eh… Nothing!" I shook my hands quickly as a 'no'.
"Sorry, Setsu, but… I already knew what you were doing. You want to hug me… right?" he smirked at me and moved his face closely to mine. I moved my body to the back a little bit. I felt my face became hot again.
"Setsu, we're a couple now. Don't be shy. Here" he spread his arms widely which meant I can hug him. I came to his chest right away and hug him tightly.
"Next time, don't hesitate when you want to hug me, understand?" he said.
"Understood" I said while cuddling in his embrace.
"Oh my… World is cruel! I already saw a lovey-dovey couple in this early hour" I heard someone said that. I looked at my left and saw Leorio and Kurapika there in the hallway.
"Ohayou, Kurapika, Leorio" Gon said.
"Ohayou, Gon" they both said. I pulled away from Killua's hug and continued my breakfast.
"Ohayou" Killua said while taking his plate to the sink. I saw his plate already clean, no pancakes. Then, he took his clothes to the bathroom and got ready.
"Ohayou, Killua, Setsu" they both said.
"Ohayou" I replied.
"What should I eat… Hmmm" Leorio was searching for food while Kurapika helped himself with cereals. I finally finished my breakfast and I washed the plate right away. I got ready to meet Alluka. I took my clothes to the bathroom when Killua already took a bath. I took a bath and wore a pink floral dress with a black long john under it. I wore my stocking and my ankle boots. I half tied my hair and I looked at myself in the mirror.
'Looks good' I thought. Then, I went to my bedroom. I took my pink handbag and filled it with everything that I might need. Wallet, cellphone, compact mirror, lip balm…
"Setsu, are you ready?" I heard someone said behind the door.
"Yeah, hold on" I said and I zipped my handbag. I hanged it on my shoulder and went to the hallway right away.
"Sorry to make you wait" I said while opening the bedroom's door. I saw him wearing sneakers, jeans, and blue sweatshirt. He's holding a pack of pocky and a pocky was stuck in his mouth. Then, his face flushed with a red-ish color.
"You… You look cute" he said while looking away.
"Thank you" I said and I bit a bite from his pocky.
"What? You're going on a date?" Leorio commented.
"Well, we're going to see Alluka. Sorry guys, but you can't come with us" Killua said as he took the car key on the desk in my bedroom.
"Let's go" he said to me. Then, he held my hand and leaded me out of the apartment.
"Good luck!" I heard Gon and Kurapika said from behind.
We got in to the car and went to Alluka's place right away. When he stopped the car in front of a store, I saw the store name…
'Alluka's… fortune teller? What the-' I thought while getting out from the car. Then, I saw the sign on the door that said 'close'.
"But the door sign says it's close" I said while pointing to the door sign.
"Well, that's because she knew that we will be here so she's closing the shop" he said. He opened the door and let me in first. I heard a bell rang as he opened the door. I saw many antique things inside the shop and it was quite dark in there.
"Welcome!" I heard someone with a cute voice said that. I saw a girl with a long hair with miko clothes running towards us.
"Alluka" Killua greeted her with a hug. Now, I knew why Killua preferred him as a girl. Then, I saw her staring at me.
"AH! Are you Setsu-chan?" she held both of my hands.
"Yes, I am. Are you Alluka?" I asked.
"Yes! Are you Onii-chan's girlfriend?" she asked bluntly. I was kinda shock, but I tried to control my composure.
"Yeah" I glared at Killua to say something.
"I think you know her, Alluka. She's the one that mom asked you to make me forget" Killua explained.
"Ah, I see!" she seemed understand what was going on.
"Come, Setsu. Onii-chan, stay here" she said while pulling my hands.
"No, I'll come with you" Killua rejected.
"But! I want to talk with Setsu in private!" she acted like a child.
"How about if Nanika show up? She won't be able to stop 'her'" Killua said.
"Nanika?" I asked.
"It's the other side of me" Alluka said.
"She can show up anytime and ask something from you" Killua added.
"Something? Well, I can give her money right?" I said. Well, I had plenty money so it was not a problem for me.
"Nope, she won't ask you something trivial like that. She can ask something dangerous like…" Killua was about to say something but someone's voice interrupted him.
"Setsu, I want your wavy hair" Alluka said beside me. Her eyes turned pitch black which made me surprised.
"My wavy hair?" I looked at my hair and was about to pick one hair from the wavy part.
"Nanika! Stop it!" Killua shouted.
"Hu… Huee…" Nanika started to cry.
"Killua, don't be so harsh!" I said to him and hugged Nanika.
"Here, Nanika. Don't cry, okay?" I gave her the hair that I picked and wiped away her tears.
"Aye…" she took the hair from me.
"Sigh… Nanika, this is Setsu, my girlfriend. Please don't order her around" Killua said to Alluka.
"Aye…" she said.
"See? She can be dangerous. She can ask you to die, but I already give her an order so she won't bother you" Killua said.
"Thanks" I said.
"Ah, I'm back!" Alluka was back to her normal state.
"So… let's continue what we were doing" I said.
"That's right! Come here, Setsu" Alluka pulled my hands. Killua was about to follow us, but he was stopped.
"Onii-chan, don't come!" Alluka said.
"But Nanika is…" he said.
"Well, you already gave her an order, right? So it's okay" I said while Alluka was leading me to a room that was located at the end of the hallway. The room was not really big and the wall was painted red. There was a table covered with a red tablecloth in the middle of the room. There were also some decorations on the wall like big fan and stuff.
"Take a seat, Setsu" Alluka said.
"Thanks"
"So… I have to tell you something"
"Yeah?"
"Since you're my Onii-chan's girlfriend, I want you to know your future with Onii-chan"
"EH? My… future…" I tried to think about it.
'That's right. I've never thought about it all this time' I thought. Then, the scene came to my mind. There was a bell rang… and… white gown? I was going to marry him?
"But, I saw my future already…" I said to her.
"I know you're the 'fairy', Setsu. I know all of your ability too but you don't have my ability" she said.
"Which is?" I asked her ability. Then, she thought a little bit. Maybe she didn't know what's the name of her ability and she must be thinking that it's the right time for her to name it. Then she said…
"Flashback"
Killua PoV
'Argh… Why is it taking them so long?' I asked in my mind. I looked at the clock that was hanging in the waiting room. It's already 7 p.m. I was so hungry and it's been 9 hours! When I was about to go checking them, the door at the end of the hallway finally opened.
"Hey, what's taking you so long?" I asked.
"Sorry, Onii-chan! Girls talk hehehe…" Alluka winked at me and leaded Setsu, who was following her from the back, went outside.
"Take care of her, Onii-chan. Visit me again, okay?" Alluka said to me.
"What? I came here to see you and yet, you only want to meet Setsu. Sigh…" I was sad that my sister only wanted to see Setsu.
"Don't worry, Onii-chan. We still have some time! Come again!" she said happily. We both walked outside and I felt hungry.
"Ah, so hungry! What should we eat for dinner? Hmmm… How about… Let's eat at Rima's place!" I said to her. I looked at her for a reply but she didn't say anything.
"Oi, Setsu!" I waved my hand in front of her face.
"Eh?! What? What did you say? Sorry…" she apologized.
"Sigh… I said let's eat at Sachii" I repeated.
"Ok" she replied. We walked to Sachii cause it's not far from Alluka's place. We got in to the restaurant and sat at the second table on the right. Rima saw us and went to our table.
"Hi, Rima" I greeted.
"Hey, Killua. Hi, my girl" Rima hugged Setsu.
"Hi, I miss you" she hugged her back.
"Hey! She's mine, you know" I said. They both looked at me in surprise.
"Setsu… I think you have a debt to pay, right?" Rima said.
"Yeah, I'll pay it later" she replied.
"What debt? I can pay it for you" I said.
"Oh man… Killua, it's not a 'real' debt! It's just a parable" Rima said as she handed us the menu.
"I see" I said as I read the menu.
"Well, I think I'll have spaghetti bolognaise" I said.
"Me too" she said.
"Okay, and what would you like to drink?" Rima asked.
"Just tea" I said.
"The usua-" when she wanted to say 'the usual', she cut it off.
"I'll have plain water. Don't make it hot" she continued.
"Eh? Why don't you order the usual?" Rima asked.
"Ehmm… Just in the mood. Hehe…" Setsu tried to laugh but I knew she just acted it.
"Hmmm… This is not like you. Tell me later, okay?" Rima said and went back to the counter. Not so long after that, Rima brought us our drinks. Then, I took a sip of my warm tea.
"So… What are you doing in that room?" I asked Setsu why she took a long time in Alluka's room. She didn't reply nor she drank her drink. She just… stared at her the clear, transparent water.
'She's spacing out again' I thought. I shook my hand in front of her face.
"Setsu? Hello? Earth to Setsu. Can you hear me?" I asked.
"Eh?! What did you say? Sorry…" she apologized.
"Geez! Why are you spacing out? This is not totally like you at all" I asked her but she didn't reply or deny me. She wasn't like this before she went to Alluka's place. Then, that must be it. Something must have happened in that room!
"What did Alluka said to you?" I felt she startled a little bit. Then, she regained her calm again.
"Nothing" she said and took a sip of her water. I was quite surprise she didn't change her water into chocolate.
"Don't lie" I said.
"I'm not lying, Killua" she said it steadily and firm, but I knew that she's lying. She even didn't look at me in the eye.
"Oh come on, Setsu. You think I'm stupid? I know that there's something wrong with you. You don't even change your water!" I pointed out.
"Well, as you said before, I can get diabetes if I keep continuing my bad habit" she said and took a sip again. She was right. I did tell her so, but still, she became strange!
"This is not you, Setsu. Who are you? Are you her alter ego?" I said.
"Killua, I'm just changing my bad habit and you already felt I'm weird?" she said.
"Well, this is just not like you" I said and our food have arrived. We ate in the silence. No one was eager to say something. I kept eating my food with thoughts in my head.
'This is not right! Alluka must have said something to her but what? Alluka doesn't give a damn thing about 'bad habit' too so I don't think Alluka told her something like that' I thought.
We finished our meals and I paid for it. We thanked Rima and headed to the car. Then, we got in to the car and drove home. It was a long ride cause no one initiated to talk. There was just silence between us. When we're arrived at our house, I saw no lights on in our apartment. I guessed that Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio went somewhere. I parked my car and we got out silently. The elevator seemed to be long enough to reach the third floor. I felt fidgety and thought some plans to make Setsu feel better.
As we reached the third floor, I took out the room key. I slid it in front of our apartment door and turned the handle. As I opened the door, it was pitch black inside the apartment. I reached the switch on my right and turned the lights on.
Setsu went in to the apartment quietly. She headed to my room right away. I thought that she must be tired. I tried to think of some way to cheer her up.
'At a time like this… chocolate is the best!' I thought. I opened the fridge door and… there is no chocolate?! I just forgot that I finished all of the chocolates yesterday. I opened the freezer and saw a dolphin shape chocolate. I didn't think she would be pleased to eat that chocolate at a time like this. I would feel bad to make her think about the ChocoLovers website when she was in a bad mood.
'Sigh… I guess I have to buy one now' I thought. I headed to my room and knocked before going in. Just in case if Setsu was changing.
Tok Tok Tok!
No reply.
"Setsu" I tried to call her.
"What do you want, Killua?" she seemed to be in a bad mood.
"I'm going out for a moment to buy… err… something" I said behind the door.
"Kay…" I heard her.
"Are you gonna be fine alone?" I asked.
"Yeah"
"Don't you scare?"
"Killua, I live in a huge mansion. Alone" she said. That sentences that she threw up to me made me convinced.
"Okay. Call me if anything happens. Be right back"
Setsu PoV
"Okay. Call me if anything happens. Be right back"
As I heard him closed the front door, I changed to my black chemise with laces on the hem.
"Sigh…" I threw myself on the bed after changing. I was staring at the ceilings as I remembering what happened in Alluka's room today.
"Flashback"
"Flashback?" I asked her.
"You don't remember anything before you met Onii-chan, right? More precisely, because of 'that' tragedy" she pointed out about the tragedy when my parents died.
"How… How did you know?!" I almost shouted.
"Of course I know! Well, you see… I'm the fortune teller here" she smiled happily and put her index finger on her cheek.
'That's right. Because of what happened 'that day', I wanted to forget everything about my past. My memories' I thought.
"So? Do you want to know what happened before that tragedy?" Alluka asked me.
'Well, I don't think there is a problem with that. I mean… there is nothing I have to be afraid of… right? And I also want to know my past. It's time to move on!' I thought.
"I want to know"
So, I checked this HXH website that my friend gave me (I think it's in Animax page). and I tried to do the quiz (it's about "which nen do you have" quiz).
I know that I'm an enhancer but I still don't want to admit it! I took the quiz and I was right =_= I'm an enhancer ...
For Setsu, she got an emitter. It says that the emitters get angry and calm down easily.
What's yours? Wanna know _ *curious*
