Chapter 6: Heading OutXSilly BoyXWelcome Home

Gon turned around at the sound of footsteps on the stairs and saw Killua drying his hair with a towel on the way down. "I packed your bag for you, Killua. You can go on ahead and I'll meet you there."

The other teen tossed his towel in the hamper next to the washer and dryer. Once he had his backpack in hand he slung it over his shoulder and sat on the table. "Nah, I don't want to get on that loud and annoying bus unless you're suffering with me."

Gon smiled at this while he continued to pack his things. His friend did often hate being around people other than Mito, Granny and himself.

"Killua, get off the table or you're grounded. We eat there," Mito scolded him as she shuffled by, coffee cup in hand.

He hopped off immediately, knowing that a grumpy Mito is harsh at punishments. "Yes ma'am," he mock saluted as if he were in the military, then stuck his tongue out when she turned the corner into a hallway.

Gon tried hard not to laugh at his friend's antics, but couldn't help himself when he heard a faint "Now you're grounded."

Killua spluttered as he dropped his backpack and ran after her to make amends in the hopes of having his punishment retracted. "Mito wait!"

"Killua, we don't have time! Come on!" Gon's warning made the silver-haired teenager stop halfway across the room and look frantically between him and the hallway.

"Today sucks already," Killua thought before heading back to grab his backpack, scooping up his skateboard and following the other out the door.

Age 10

"Aunt Mito, you said I couldn't bring anything home. So how come you got to bring a whole person with us?" Gon asked as he climbed into the backseat of the car.

He looked over at Killua who was fumbling with his seat belt, seemingly uncomfortable with it. He was actually glad the other was coming with them. What he upset about was that Mito told him he couldn't do something and then turned around and did it herself. He was not mad, but he was quite displeased that Mito got to break the rules and he did not.

"Because I'm a terrible person whose only purpose is to make you unhappy, Gon," Mito answered sarcastically after a sigh.

She checked the rear view mirror and saw Killua looking at her with bug eyes, obviously worried about that comment. She watched Gon poke him in the shoulder to gain his attention. "She wasn't being serious."

That seemed to calm Killua down, and Mito put the car into reverse, pulling out of her parking spot to leave.

When the car pulled up to their house, Gon was the first one out of the car before it was even fully parked, running full speed to the house.

Killua watched the other boy run as fast as his legs would take him before undoing his seat belt and opening his door. When he stepped out Mito was there waiting for him. She took his hand and walked him up to the front door, opening it for him and ushering him in before telling him...

"Welcome home, Killua."

Don't feel obligated to give a good review, I accept good and bad alike, so don't hold back. Though I prefer any review to none at all. Constructive criticism is very much welcomed.

Thank you for reading.
