CHAPTER 21: Bisuke X Scheme X Monsters
Gon closed her eyes and whipped her nose to smell the nice breeze of dusk, just before staring at the sky. It was getting dark, she noted, and thankfully they had that wonderful dinner so, even when the surroundings got really dark they would still have plenty of energy left for the actual adventuring.
But as she walked the light-colored pavements, with Killua right beside her, she found herself looking back slightly as if she should be hearing some light paw steps. She sighed when she realized what she was doing.
"I miss Kusa already…"
"Me, too." Killua sighed with her, and she saw him extend his hand. She took it gladly.
They're together on that one, too.
…
"Eh…"
Eyes filled with mischievousness sharpened as their owner paused her steps.
Bisuke Kruenger watched the two kids leave the city's premises with a plan on the back of her head. She decided that she really was bored enough to try and break these two's friendship. It was something she liked to do (which eventually became a habit) since it proved just how lovely she was (physically). Oh…, how many shounen-ais had she perturbed these past dozen of years.
This was one of the few hetero-relationships she ventured in though. After all, friendship (amongst men) was much stronger than romance, so it was usually boring to break up romantic relationships. But the friendship in these two were an exception. It was so cute how they loved each other both as friends and as someone deeper.
The plan was to seduce that silver head kid, make the cute raven-hair jealous (which she, from the start, already knew would be a challenge), and poof! Her boredom disappeared already.
Mah, she'll soon challenge just how strong this relation was soon enough.
"M-Mate!" She exclaimed demurely for them to wait for her. She feigned nervousness as the two turned around to stare at her. "Ano… can you… please take me with you…?" She asked and threw them her most irresistible looks.
Silence
She saw the muscles in their intertwined hands move slightly and they smirked. 'They must be pondering how cute I am and how she cannot be refused—'
"No way."
Twitch
She gasped that lady-gasp and forced a few tears to line up. "W-Why?"
"You'll just get in the way."
Twitch Twitch Twitch
'I'll kill you brat!' Now she just imagining her seducing this kid would make her puke!
"Let's go, Gon."
"A-Ah."
"M-Mate!" Ignored.
"P-Please!" Ignored again.
"CHOTTO" She growled but quickly forced herself to calm down and adapt that cute voice of hers again. "— chotto matte kudasai~!"
And yet again. She was ignored.
...
Brat
Impertinent Brat
Annoying Brat
Were just a few of Bisuke's mental name calling directed at Killua. It was a good thing she was good at acting, otherwise the boy would have noticed the deadly thoughts.
But then she was having a mental argument on where to put her pride! Seriously… seducing this kid? Ohgodno.
But after a while of running after them, she decided (firmly) that she would not give up! Her pride of destroying friendships, and the fact that making the girl jealous was a challenge she really really wanted to complete. She would no longer be faltered.
*Cough*
*Cough* *Cough*
She was pulled back from lala-land by ninjas coughing their lungs out. Ninjas, you ask? No, bandits. The one the guy from the card trading shop mumbled endlessly about. They were then inside a shack the bandits used as a hideout. And… they were all sick—literally.
They were coughing incessantly with a kid, apparently the leader's son, lying pale on the floor. It was obvious this was part of the game, and Killua reassured Gon, who knew but nevertheless felt worried for the bandit family.
First they asked some money (which was conveniently equal to the two's actual financial status. She even graciously offered the 800k asked but noooooooooo Killua just had to tell her to shut up!
Brat
Impertinent Brat
Annoying Brat
Next they asked for clothes to keep the boy warm.
Man, the rumors were true when the stated that these bandits do steal everything including clothes. Only theirs though, of course, her possessions were not entered in the NPC's data since Killua never really accepted her to the party.
She was more annoyed than relieved of the thought, though. But then she had an idea.
Soon, the two went out of the shack very disappointed for getting nothing. Bisuke watched for a bit as they went farther and farther away from the shack.
And then—flop—she pretended to fall.
"Oof!" She said and coughed. Unsurprisingly, Gon had to drag Killua to her with eyes full of worry (Nice kid), but Bisuke ignored her and coughed again. And fainted.
Man, the ground sure was cold.
"What happened?"
"She just fainted."
"By tripping?"
"Maybe she tripped because she fainted?" Gon said and it seemed Killua shrugged.
"Well at least we'd get rid of her." Twitch. "Let's just go, Gon."
"Eh? But the ground's cold…" Yes. Yes, it was damnit!
She then felt a hand shake her gently. Bisuke was good at acting though, so it was not hard to pretend to sleep despite the shaking. "She's not waking up, Killua…" Gon muttered with adorably anxiety in her voice.
"Here. Let me try."
Thump
She felt a friggin' kick. Ooooh how she wanted to strangle that kid.
"Don't kick her Killua!"
"But she's not waking up!"
"Mooou…!" Gon yelled and then slowed down. "Maybe I should perform CPR."
Wait, what?
Silence ensued and her stomach started cringing. She wanted to just open her eyes and see what was happening, but she went against it in the end. She then heard a firm "No" from no other than the brat.
"Where did you learn that anyway?"
"Leorio said if all else failed in waking you up, I should do CPR."
Silence
"N-No. There must be some other way." He stuttered. "Maybe we should just bring her to the ninjas."
"But she might catch their disease."
"No, she won't." Killua said. "Besides she might already be sick anyway—which was why she fainted—in that case, we should be worrying about the NPCs."
"Mou, Killua you're so cold."
"I don't know. I just don't like her for some reason." Killua said. "Besides, they're NPCs. Their illness wouldn't crossover to real players."
"Is that so?"
"Ah." Then after what sounded like affirmation, she heard a few shiftings. She then felt a hand on her leg and she could tell Killua was going to carry her to the shack.
Then something hit her.
As he leaned down to place an arm behind her back, she stealthily moved her arm and dragged Killua to her-
Chuu!
"GAAAAAAAAAAH!" Killua let out a muffled yell, trying hard to push her away. She slightly opened an eye and he was annoyingly looking as if he was kissing manure. Her eyes twitched at this but no matter how strong he tried to push her, she was most definitely stronger. She was impressed with his strength though, and she had to use most of her muscles (hidden or not) to keep him there.
But then… they felt a surge of aura and this caught both of them by surprise. Killua managed to escape and he whipped his head towards a very very angry Gon.
"Killua! I-If you wanted to do CPR on her yourself you should have said so!"
"I-I didn't!" He exclaimed and pointed at the girl. "She pulled me in!"
'Pretend to be dead. Pretend to be dead. Pretend to be dead.' Bisuke chanted and then another surge of aura and she mentally admired its un-honed strength.
"You jerk! Why do you have to lie about that too?" Gon yelled. "She's still obviously sleeping—Killua, you baka!"
Then there was silence and Bisuke was surprised at the fact that Killua was shut up. She succeeded, didn't she? Even if a person's fairly secure, seeing one's lover getting kissed by someone else was something bound to make something snap.
This was the first time she had to use this card though, these two left her no choice.
She ignored the uncharacteristic feeling of guilt and continued to play dead. But not even a moment later, she found her eyes snapping open by instinct and she jumped out of harm's way.
Slash!
And a second later the area where she was at, the area where her head rested, was stabbed by sharp hands. To her surprise, It was Killua's and a little part of her shivered under his stare.
She shifted her gaze at the wide-eyed Gon and realized she had been revealed. But Bisuke was Bisuke, and she was a great actress. She was the goddess of acting.
"You!" Killua yelled. "Why did you do that?!"
"D-Do what? She asked, feigning innocence… and fear. "You were the one who wanted to kill me!"
"Why did you pretend to be asleep and make me k-kiss you?!"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" And frankly, from an outsider's point of view… Bisuke looked more believable.
"Yes, you do!" And to their surprise it was Gon, and she was looking mad but that surge of aura was no longer there. "How could you?"
And now she knew there was no escaping this one. So she pretended to ponder, cried, and then apologized. "I'm sorry. I-It was b-because I l-like Killua-kun~"
She saw Killua calm down a bit, sat down (or rather, his feet lost strength), and reflexively throw up air behind Gon at her words. Bisuke swore she was going to kill that boy someday.
"No, you don't!" She glared. "Don't go around kissing people you don't even like, how annoying!"
"H-How could you say that?" She 'cried' again. "I l-liked Killua-kun the first time I-I saw him!"
"No, you didn't!"
Now, Bisuke frowned. Her acting was indirectly being insulted now, and she was not going to let it continue. "HOW-how you be so sure?!"
"Because if you really like Killua you wouldn't try and kiss him when you're sick! He might get sick too!"
.
Silence
And Bisuke just stood there, frozen, and passively watched Gon as she stomped to where Killua was sitting. He tried to stand but the relief that Gon didn't hate him was still there and so he, too, was frozen. Bisuke blinked when Killua was suddenly getting carried—bridal-style—by the girl.
"O-OI Gon!" the boy practically squeaked. Bisuke could see steam coming out his ears now.
And whether or not he was embarrassed, though, Antigone Freecs was going to take Killua far away from Bisuke.
…
Killua could only blush like hell and stay silent for a whole kilometre or so that Gon carried him. Yes, yes, he was supposed to be embarrassed as hell—which he was- but seeing that glint of firmness and annoyance on Gon's eyes made him both worried… and touched.
"Gon…" he whispered pretty sure he wouldn't want to see his face at a mirror. Gon's eyes were too big and shiny to give him that luxury though, and he could feel his face got even hotter. "L-Let me down, please?"
"Hmn?" She blinked. And then her eyes widened. "OH."
THUMP
"I-Itte!"
"G-Gomen Killua! I-I-I—"She was blushing furiously now (which he found to be utterly adorable) and was making weird hand gestures as if she could shoo the embarrassment away. In any case, Killua could only gape at her.
"You didn't realize what you were doing the whole time?!"
"Eh—I—well…." She dropped down on the floor with him. "Gomen nasai…"
He looked at her and let out a deep breath before turning to her direction so that they were facing each other now. She was sitting seiza and grasped her skirt rather tightly.
He blushed at the fact that she was only wearing her sleeveless shirt now since her jacket was taken away, revealing much more skin than he was used to. He didn't have the chance to gape earlier because of that girl—he mentally gagged at the recollection—doing that.
And then it inevitably lead to the memory of her getting mad for his sake. He blushed again and held her hand. "Thanks for saving me, Gon!" He grinned, and she whipped her head back up and her eyes wide with surprise.
She thought he'd be mad, didn't she? And as soon as she absorbed what he said, she beamed beautifully again.
"I'm sorry I called you an idiot."
"I was for thinking she really was asleep." Killua smirked. "And yes, that means both of us are idiots."
She grinned and said a happy "Uhn!" before glomping him. To his surprise, she parted with him…, and then placed a chaste kiss on his lips. Killua was pretty sure he was going to explode.
"G-Gon!" he yelled indignantly as he stared at her. Gon grinned and made a peace sign with her fingers.
"Nullification complete!"
…
Bisuke chuckled as soon as she saw. She took a longer than anticipated time to recover from that girl's utter weirdness, and follow them. She was impressed by the physical strength she experienced but they still needed to hone their senses especially since they couldn't even sense her, who was barely (to her standards) hiding her presence.
She watched them as they shyly grinned at each other, before standing up, and continued sprinting and went their way to Masadora.
On their way, they halted at an odd terrain—a large area defined by steep plateaus looking as if they were tree trunks. Monsters (first cyclops, then a horse, and then no-less weird critters) came out… and Oh, boy —was she getting more and more frustrated as time went by!
'They had so much potential and physiques to die for!' She yelled inside her pretty little head. 'Just a little honing and they'll be one of the most marvellous jewels she would see in her life!
And with a few more pitiful failures with Level D—emphasis on 'D'—monsters, she finally snapped.
"GYOOOOOOO!" She yelled. It was with a knight in shining black armor. They were ready to fight it, but Bisuke knew it would just be a waste of precious energy.
"Do you know how to do Gyo?" she asked pompously as they seemed rather in a very ill-timed daze. They nodded reluctantly and did as they were told.
.
"Ah!" Gon exclaimed as she pointed at a bright light of nen, it resembled a string of sorts. Bisuke nodded.
"That's right. It's just a puppet. You'd just be wasting your nen on it."
And with that Gon followed the thread and a 'poof'! came before she could even react upon seeing the monster.
"Level E..." Gon mumbled and showed the card to Killua. It was then that she, the glorious Bisuke, jumped down to meet the other two kids.
They stepped back, and held their guards up— which was only natural after what she did. They didn't look too defensive though. Bisuke knew she emitted a different type of atmosphere at the moment, making the association of her and what she did a tad harder.
She held up her pointing finger. The other two just stared, making her eyes to twitch.
"WHAT ARE YOU JUST STARING THERE FOR?! GYOOO!"
They reluctantly did so as their ears rang from the booming sound of her sweet little voice. "What do you see?"
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"…yeah!"
She glared. "Just answer my question brats!"
.
"R-Roman Numeral Number 1."
"Good. Now every time I hold up a hand like this you use Gyo okay?"
When they didn't answer, she just haughtily (she was being nice and she mused that they were probably very grateful to her kindness. "I want to train you two."
"Haa?"
"Who do you think you are, anyway?" Unsurprisingly, it was that damned brat Killua again. He should be thankful he had so much jewel potential. He kept good distance as if she was gonna pull him in again. Her eyes twitched. Hell she would do that again! But she kept her cool and her confidence.
"Bisuke Kruenger's my name." She said stepping closer. Killua stepped back again, while Gon (oh, how cute!) stepped between them to protect Killua.
Killua noticing this, slightly walked to stand beside Gon and shook his 'fears' away and now was looking cool again.
"That doesn't explain anything—" Bisuke cut him off by putting a hand up. Gon stared at her guardedly, but she could tell the girl was shocked and confused as to how to react to her.
"Gon. Please answer."
"A-Ah." Gon exclaimed, startled, and pointed at the finger. "It's roman numeral number 5."
"Good." Bisuke smiled and Killua frowned.
"Che!"
But as she saw that the two were still guarded, she let out a sigh to explain. "I was bored and thought I'd play with you two earlier. You're right I don't like Killua (at all), I also am not sick so don't worry."
The two stared at her in disbelief. "You kissed me because you were freaking bored?!"
She shrugged. "Oh please, don't say as if I liked it. I would rather kiss her than I would even want to kiss you!" The two stepped back in aghast.
"GEH!"
"I won't of course, don't worry." She shook her head. They believe her jokes but totally doubt her when she's acting?! Hmph!
"Besides, it did you some good brat." She said, looking at Killua. "You got carried and got kissed by the girl you like!"
Steam came out of Gon's ears and she dropped down to sit fetal position in embarrassment, while Killua (who's face was also in several shades of red) pointed rudely at her.
"You were freaking following us?"
"Probably."
"Y-YOU!"
She, once again, cut him off by raising a finger.
"…roman numeral 0." Gon said almost inaudibly and went back to her little cocoon. She said 'very good' before staring at Killua.
"100 push-ups."
"Nani?"
"Punishment, of course." She smirked arrogantly, walked closer, and pompously snapped his forehead. "If you have time asking questions, you should just do your push-ups ne?"
"Like I said, you have no right to order us around girly- -"
Twitch
"You couldn't even do anything productive with your time!"
Twitch
"Who do you think you a-"
Twitch Twitch
Twitch Twitch Twitch
SLAM!
Bisuke shut him up by punching the wall of rock beside her. This caught Gon's attention and she finally stood up and stared at her two companions.
Bisuke explained her qualifications (yes, it was amusing to see their reactions. But sadly she was too annoyed at the moment) She told them how long she had been a Hunter 20 years *cough* and finally… how old she was.
The two kids paled. "EHHHH?"
"F-fifty seven years old?!" Gon yelled right afterwards, and Killua's eyes was jerking like hell.
"OLD HAG."
BAM!
And so…, Killua flew to the sky- spinning.
…
*Several Minutes Later*
"A bored freaking old hag KISSED me."
Killua returned as he dusted off the soil on his clothing after hitting a weird mountain after being thrown like that so animatedly. He glared at Bisuke who was chatting with the semi-guarded Gon. He could tell she was warming up now and was trusting that old hag –who shamelessly kissed him—really meant no harm.
He wanted to drink alcohol to wipe out that old hag's kiss, but then he'd be wiping of his lovely Gon's kiss as well!
He sighed before peeking at Gon's seated figure. He was gaping again he knew and mused maybe he would drink some ethyl alcohol and just kiss Gon again…? Ah, hormones…
But then he recalled what the old bag 'joked' about earlier—about kissing Gon. So he mustered all his courage, prayed like hell the woman wasn't bored, and sat right in the middle of the two girls.
After bickering with the woman, he opened topic about them already having a master. The woman looked as if she was musing for how to break that 'rule' when Gon decided to add a few words to support him.
"Oh yeah… that's right… Gomen ne…, but Wing-san's already our master."
"Wing…?" Oh, how Killua didn't like that enlightened tone of hers…
And it proved to be an unsurprising reaction. After all, Wing was the old bag's former disciple. "So that makes me the master of your master. Surely, that makes me more than qualified…?"
"Yeah." Killua nodded stiffly. "Assuming you really are telling the truth."
Bisuke, on the other hand, smirked. This kid was one annoyingly stubborn brat. She let out her book and showed them the cards of the supposedly 'A-class' monsters they couldn't beat.
They were either class E or Class F. Even lower.
He was speechless.
"Tons of people from this game could easily get these. You could be dead by tomorrow without my help."
He didn't answer and neither did Gon. The terror in her eyes, though, was obvious to Bisuke's experienced eyes. She watched as the girl pondered and gulped.
"W-We'll be depending on you then…!" Gon said after a pregnant pause, as if completely forgetting what she did—and trusting her, the awesome Bisuke, fully.
Or at least she was trying to.
Aw, How cute.
"Just call me Bisuke-chan." She smiled. "And you could say this is my way of making amends of playing around, ne?"
The girl sweat-dropped. "Ha…"
But then a split-second after that, and after Killua looking at them alternatively, he dragged Gon far away from her to have a 'talk'. She could hear every word though…
"Didn't we just have a talk about partnership, Gon?" Killua said in exasperation, and Bisuke thought these two having that talk was real cute.
"…yeah..?"
"You're making important decisions on your own again!" He paused for a breath. "And don't say it's an obvious course of action. This was the same thing as the old man's case! What is it with you and old people?"
Twitch
But Bisuke hung on. Hung on to the little ounce of patience she had for that brat!
"But Killua won't accept her for a master won't he?"
"Well, I—that's precisely why you should have consulted with me first!"
"But you're so stubborn."
"And you're not?"
"I want to be stronger, Killua." She answered firmly making Killua stare at her.
"We will be. And I'll be here to protect you."
"But there are tons of people stronger than us!" She paused and looked down. "I wanna be the one protecting you, too."
"…"
Seeing Killua was already flabbergasted, Bisuke decided to take advantage… and tease them. She was still bored. ('Old women' get bored easily not that that thought passed her head). Bisuke wore a very sly smirk and skipped to beside Gon.
"And as a reward for being such a cute student." She grinned, Gon suddenly shivered, and Killua's eye twitched. Bisuke leaned down and kissed Gon on the cheek—right where Killua did in the train a few days prior.
"...eh?"
Killua let out a 'manly' squeak.
"GYAAAA!" Gon yelled in shock as what Bisuke did dawned to her.
"G-Get away from her you paedophilic old hag!"
BAM!
And so, once again, Killua was thrown to the sky.
