Me No Own HunterxHunter

Ghostly Friends

Stenches of the Rotting

It had been a few days since the strange incident with Killua forgetting the thing Leorio had said to him and everything was back to normal, well with the addition of Leorio and Kurapika deciding that they will also visit the ghost boy with Gon sometimes.

The two older friends followed Gon into the house, Killua's head instantly popping itself through the ceiling to stare at the three as they closed the door, all of them jumping up and yelping with fright. Killua's hair hung down, away from his face as he looked at his friend and the two people who he didn't really consider as friends yet, blinking at them with wide blue eyes.

"Yo," he greeted casually, the three still staring up at him in fright.

"K-K-Killua, w-w-why i-i-is y-y-y-y-your h-h-head g-g-g-going t-t-t-through t-t-the—" Gon started but Killua quickly cut him off, annoyed by the stuttering.

"I'm a ghost." he deadpanned, Gon instantly brightening.

"Does that mean you can float?!" he asked excitedly, the shock from seeing his friend's head going through the ceiling disappearing.

"Who do you think I am? A balloon?" Killua asked as he suddenly disappeared to appear in front of the three, Kurapika and Leorio jumping a bit from fright since they were not yet used to seeing the white haired kid do that. "Well, sorry to break it to you, but ghost can't float. We're not full of helium." he said coolly, Gon deflating a bit.

"Aw! But that would be so cool!" he exclaimed a little sadly.

"No, it would hurt." Killua replied, looking behind Gon to Kurapika and Leorio. "Why are you two here?" he asked, bringing the two out of their shocked states.

"What?! Got a problem with us being here?! It's a free country, you know!" Leorio shouted out in annoyance, his fist raised in front of him. Killua just waved him off nonchalantly, walking away towards the back door in the kitchen.

"But this isn't your house~!" he called behind him, Gon sweetdropping a little and scratching his cheek as he apologized to both of his friends, hurrying after Killua.

"Ne, Killua! That wasn't very nice!" he whispered in his ear, making Killua stop and look at him.

"But it's true. This isn't their house. What do you want me to do? Lie to them?" he asked the boy in all seriousness. "You told me lying isn't very nice. Even though I did little to listen." he added the last part as a side note under his breath. Gon gave Killua a scolding glare with his hands on his hips like a mother would do to scold a child.

"Why don't you ever listen to me?!" he whined as Killua rolled his eyes in amusement, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Who said I never listened to you, Gon? I mean, would I reply to you all the time if I didn't listen? Geez, use that head of yours!" Killua teased, the scolding glare the spiky haired boy gave him intensifying. Kurapika quickly stepped in and layed a hand on Gon's shoulder, the scolding glare stopping as he looked up at his friend curiously as did Killua.

"Now, now, let's not fight…" Kurapika ordered a little nervously. Killua just sighed and placed his hands behind his head, leaning back into them.

"Eh? Fine. I needed to do something anyways, and it involves you two and that gorilla back there's help." Killua said, Leorio shouting an insult at the white haired ghost, but he ignored it. Both Gon and Kurapika tilted their head slightly to the side, confused on what help Killua possibly needed.

"And that is…?" Kurapika trailed off, a bright smile suddenly showing on Killua's face as he seemed to become far more cheerful than the three could ever possibly imagine.

"Unbury my skateboard from where it is in my grave out back!" he said cheerfully, zoning out at the prospect of getting his beloved skateboard back from the clutches of his grave.

"Huh?" Leorio, Gon, and Kurapika asked in unison, their brains all jumbled up as they tried to wrap their heads around this. Killua sighed, his happy day dream vanishing and the thoughts of 'Man, are these guys idiots!' replacing the wonderful image of the skateboard.

"My parents, being the weirdo's that they are, decided to burry my skateboard with me in my coffin, then burry me out back. Since I'm getting way to bored around here, I decided to unbury my skateboard to have a little fun, but I can't do that myself and you three are the only ones who I know who would help me since everyone else in this crazed town view me as a ghost that is willing to push them down the stairs because I want revenge for my killer." Killua replied in a monotone, the three in front of him nodding with blank expressions on their faces. Killua sighed once more and shook his head. "This is going to be a long day…" he muttered to himself as he began to feel frustration budding in the pits of his stomach.

Leorio tapped the shovel he held in his hand against the old shed Killua had gotten it from, testing the rusty metal as he inspected it suspiciously. Gon and Kurapika did the same while Killua held his shovel as if it was a prized possession as he stared at his head stone that was barely visible by the weeds surrounding it. On both sides of the headstone were trees and a little flower garden that had long since shriveled. Old offerings lay forgotten at the base and a fresh boutique of flowers lay a few inches away from it from the last visit of Gon's aunt.

"Um…" Kurapika said as he glanced over at Killua who was practically bouncing in place from excitement that was just ready to burst out, then back to the shovel that seemed to be used far too many times and was far too rusty and broken to even be used as a shovel again. Was Killua really expecting them to unbury his coffin with these types of shovels? Shouldn't he be a bit more realistic? "I think we need new shovels before we can receive your skateboard anytime soon…" Kurapika said, voicing the thoughts of the other two who nodded in agreement. The cheerfulness seemed to flow out of Killua instantly as he glared at the blonde who instantly shrieked from fear by the evil aura surrounding him.

"What did you say?" Killua asked dangerously, Leorio and Gon hiding the best they could behind their shovels, sweating profoundly. Killua tilted his head in a way that Kurapika read as 'I'm going to personally push you down the stairs like the rumors say I do', eyes seemingly darker. A shiver ran down the blonde's spine as he took a gulp of fear.

"N-Nothing…" he stuttered, the cheerfulness flowing once more back into Killua.

"Good!" he said happily as he began to hum and walk over to his grave. The others were still trying to overcome their fear as they stared into the ghost's back, unable to think the same way about him ever again.

Some long painful moments later

Leorio, Gon, and Kurapika stood panting in the little dirt trench they had made, sweat running down their faces and fingers smeared with blood from blisters that decided to open. Then there was Killua. Nothing was wrong with him except for his strangely wrong smile leading the three to believe that he was sick, but confused them because ghost can't get sick… right? His fingers were perfectly fine and there was not one drop of sweat on him. If Killua wasn't a ghost then the three of them would suspect that he was some intergalactic alien from the planet Neonleocontic.

Suddenly the sound of wood splitting when Gon's shovel dug into the dirt brought the other's attention to him. The grin on Killua's face widened as he dropped his shovel and practically flung himself to where Gon was, digging in the dirt up with his nails. Leorio and Kurapika also dropped their shovels and fell on their butts, trying to catch some much needed rest as Gon just stared down at Killua as he reached his coffin.

"Finally!" he shouted in glee as he ripped the top of the casket off instantly, surprising Gon. What met everyone's noises, except Killua's, was a horrible stench that no one ever wanted to smell again with how bad it smelt.

"OH MY GOD! CLOSE IT! CLOSE IT NOW!" Leorio screeched as he plugged his nose and watched in horror as Kurapika fell backwards, passing out from the smell. Gon also fell backwards, fainting but Killua took no notice of that as he wrenched an old dirtied yellow skateboard from within the smelly trenches, looking at it as if he had found piles among piles of gold.

"Yes! Finally!" he squealed like a school girl as he hugged the skateboard close to his chest, rubbing it against his cheek happily. Leorio tried desperately not to pass out from the stench so he could help his two friends who had passed out.

"OLD MAN! CLOSE THE DAMN LID! WE'RE ABOUT TO LOSE SOME MEN HERE!" Leorio shouted once more, trying his best to move Kurapika away from the coffin while keeping his nose plugged. Killua paid no mind to the insult and plead of Leorio as he ran into his house, oblivious of the people he had left behind. Leorio felt like crying as he finally got Kurapika away and was now faced with getting Gon away and closing the coffin. On top of that, he was losing precious air and he did not want to get more since the air was polluted by the smell of thirty years of rotting Killua.

Man, was he going to kill that kid once he managed to get the air to smell like nature once more. But he had to worry about that later; he had to save Gon first!
