Ne (at the beginning of a sentence, to catch someone's attention to start a conversation): Hey...

A long chapter with lots of stuff happening...Let's get started!

Chapter Fourteen: Aniki

Releasing his shoulders, Gon stood to his full height (which wasn't much) and held out one hand to Killua, who was still sitting in the grass.

Killua looked up at him, observing how the sun seemed to create the effect of a halo around his friend's head and he couldn't help but stare, not speaking for a moment.

Finally he reached out his hand, grabbing Gon's proffered one to allow the other to help him up and as soon as he did, the sunlight bathed the both of them in its warmth.

Killua couldn't help but notice the symbolism, of the way Gon had pulled him out of his personal darkness too and how he had come to find himself because of his friend's unconditional love and acceptance.

I know how good it is to walk in the light now because of you.

The warmth in his chest grew and he brought his palm up to cover his heart. You've always been my light but now I'm no longer afraid to join you with a light of my own, to walk by your side and not behind you in the shadows.

Falling into step beside Gon and giving the hand in his a brief squeeze; Killua met his friend's curious smile with a bright one of his own.

Thank you Gon for saving me.

NB.: Day 8 continues…

Gon looked around, taking in the cozy atmosphere of the Pizzeria. Too much time had passed since they'd last been here together.

How long has it been?

Now that he thought about it, that last time was when the three of them – Leorio, Killua and he had come here after they thought that the members of the Genei Ryodan were all dead. It had been a brief moment of peace and they'd bought some pizzas before meeting up with Kurapika in the park afterwards.

The pizza had only been part of the horde though, the rest being iced doughnuts, hot dogs, fried chicken, fries, sodas, an apple pie, a cream pie and a few burgers. It had been a lot, but was necessary for the speed-eating competition between him and Killua.

He smiled at the memory.

Looking up, he saw the same look of reminiscence on Killua's face.

"Recalling my victory in the speed-eating competition?" Gon teased, leaning over the half-empty pizza boxes between them and grinning mischievously.

Killua raised an eyebrow, whilst reflecting his friend's wide grin. "You wish."

"I'd have won you know, if a certain person"—Gon paused, pointing the slice of pizza in his hand at Killua's face—"didn't turn it into a food fight." He returned the slice to his mouth and took a bite, eyes still focused on his friend. "You just couldn't bear the thought of losing, could you?"

Killua scoffed. "Yeah...sure..." he replied, his words dripping with sarcasm. "Loads of excuses to ease the burn of your loss huh? Such a sore loser."

"I didn't lose," Gon insisted with a huff. "I think you were the one who was about to—"

"I think spitting all over one's competitor's face," Killua interrupted. "Is enough to earn a disqualification from the judges."

"There were no judges."

Killua lifted his hands and grinned, saying in a mock commentator's voice, "And that, ladies and gentlemen is how you cheat...you've heard it from the man himself!"

Gon stuck out his tongue at him but then his tone got serious."It's been a long time hasn't it?"

"Oh." Killua's smile turned nostalgic. "Yeah."

"Maybe we could all meet up soon!"

"That would be great. Not sure if Kurapika would come though."

"Why is that?"

Killua looked away momentarily. "Last time we'd seen him was when we were all here in York Shin." He took a bite of his slice, chewing slowly before continuing, "Kurapika seems to not be himself right now…" Killua did not mention that Kurapika had also been the only one of their friends that had failed to show up while Gon was in the hospital. Leorio had said that he'd been unable to get on to him no matter how much he'd called and Killua, having been involved in the underground life for so long, knew that it would only get worse for their friend.

Gon's face fell, concern evident in his features. "Yeah…" But then he brightened soon after. "Kurapika will get better. I believe in him and he has good friends."

Killua smiled at Gon, admiring his usual optimism. "I'm sure he will," he affirmed.

They continued eating in silence until Gon looked up suddenly. "Ne Killua, so how was it?"

"'It?'"

"Your trip! With Alluka!"

Killua grinned at his best friend. The barely contained excitement on Gon's face was quite visible. "It was great. We went to all the different continents...and even visited a few islands."

"Really?!"

"Yes Gon! We even saw the Camp Tigers on one of our tours!"

"That's what Kaito was telling us about! I really wanted to see them too...!" Gon's eyes widened. "Wait! So does that mean you'd gone back to the Azian Continent?"

"Yep! I'm telling you Gon, there is so much to see out there! We should both go travelling sometime, there is a lot that I can show you!"

Gon hesitated momentarily, remembering that just that morning he had promised Hisoka that they would go travelling together. It would be nice if we all can go together.

When he didn't get the expected response from Gon, Killua asked, "Don't you want to travel with me Gon?"

Gon quickly put up his hands when he saw the slightly pained look in Killua's softened blue eyes. "No, that's not it, of course I do want to go with you but it's just..." He looked away. Should I tell him about Hisoka?

"Are you okay Gon?"

"Well, it's just that I wanted us all to travel together..."

"Oh I see, is that what you were worried about?" Killua breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that it was something more serious. "Well who knows, maybe Leorio and Kurapika could join us when that time comes."

"Ah, y-yes, that's true..." Gon looked away nervously, feeling guilty about letting Killua assume that he had been talking about their other two friends and not Hisoka.

Killua examined what he could see of Gon's face, confused at his friend's odd behavior. He shrugged it off though, convinced that Gon was just acting like this because he was worried that they all might not actually get to travel together.

Gon always gets so worked up about his friends.

Killua reached across the table to grasp Gon's shoulder, the action causing his friend to turn his head to face him. "Gon...I'm sure it's going to be okay," he tried reassuringly.

"I hope so." Gon replied, smiling. Maybe when the time comes Hisoka can travel along with us after all.

Killua matched his smile, happy that he'd reassured his friend but unaware that the thing he'd unknowingly reassured him about was completely different than what he thought it was.

NB: Two hours later...

As they stepped out from under the flashy awning of yet another food café, Killua patted his stomach, thinking of how good the grilled burgers there always were. Between that and the pizza, he was now finally sated.

It's so good to be able to do all this stuff together again... he thought as they walked along the pavement.

That year we've been apart felt like forever.

Killua was barely able to hide the excitement he was feeling. After being separated and now finally reunited, he couldn't wait to show Gon all the things they weren't able to see before in the city.

There's so much I want to do with him.

Gon would be so excited to—

"Ne Killua! Come on, check this out!" Gon shouted, interrupting the other's reverie as they came upon a toy store.

Killua didn't move but just stood there, watching as his friend ran ahead of him and into the store.

I'm supposed to be giving him the tour here, but...

Why am I beginning to feel as if he is giving me the tour instead?

"Hey Gon, what are you doing?" Killua protested as Gon came back out of the toy store to pull him inside.

"You're taking too long," Gon explained, still pulling him inside. "Now hurry."

Killua was flustered and struggled a bit but Gon continued to happily pull him forward and eventually, he found himself standing in the action figure isle of YorkShin's most popular toy store.

What?

"Hmmph." Killua folded his arms and turned to Gon. "Aren't we getting too old for this?" He whispered harshly but frowned when Gon started smiling wider.

Sighing, Killua looked away from him and suddenly, a familiar flash of color caught his eye. The surprise was clear on his face when he realized that he was looking at the red team leader for The Power Soldiers, one of his favorite toys from when he was a kid.

It can't be... Killua thought as his eyes roamed over its scarlet military uniform. His hand flew to his lips to mute the almost audible gasp that had nearly escaped on seeing that an upgrade had provided the loyal soldier with some cool new weapons.

"Canon blast lasers?" he muttered under his breath. "So he doesn't wield the BC-41 commando knives anymore?!"

Killua's heart started thumping faster when he noticed the sign underneath the model on display and he leaned closer to read it:

'Years of war has made him tough but we've made him tougher with some added firepower. Now your favorite vagabond soldier is an even bigger threat to the Opposing Force as he is called back to battle now that war and famine are threatening the lands once more. Grab this new series for the special access code and get ready - the worldwide beta testing for the new MMORPG game will begin soon! Yes, you've read that right, a game. We've taken your requests to heart and now with this game you can fight alongside old and new friends to save the world... Are you ready?!'

Killua's eyes widened. This was too much. How can I possibly resist t—

"Killua, are you alright?"

At the question, Killua looked up to see that Gon was watching him and his hand paused as it was about to grab the long-haired, stoic-faced toy in front of him. He straightened up and pretended to dust invisible lint from the front of his black jeans pants. "Anyway, so what I was trying to say Gon, is that we're already fifteen and toys shouldn't—"

"No matter…" came Gon's voice that was suddenly much closer as two palms covered his eyes. Killua instantly tensed up and tried to pull them off. "Hey what are you…"

"Don't fight it Killua..."—the familiar voice whispered next to his ear, causing goosebumps to rise along the skin of his neck—"...it's a surprise…"

"What do you mean by 'it's a surprise'? You're starting to act like a—!" Killua paused in his tirade and his face grew warm when Gon made a shushing sound to silence him. As he was ushered forward without sight to guide him and forced to trust where Gon was leading him, his assassin instincts kicked in and he struggled a bit more. "Why are you—!"

"Just stay quiet for a minute and you'll be rewarded," Gon cut in to insist in an exaggerated, fake voice that immediately had Killua laughing uncontrollably in the middle of the aisle. And although Gon kept his hands firmly pressed over his eyes as he laughed, Killua was no longer wary but considerably more relaxed; thus it wasn't long before curiosity overwhelmed every ounce of his caution and Gon was able to lead him toward an unknown destination once more.

Killua smiled lightly when he realized this but it was no surprise to him; trust always came easily with Gon.

A few moments later, Gon stopped walking but his hands lingered over Killua's eyes. "What is it Gon...you're killing me here," Killua complained, unsure if Gon was intentionally dragging out the suspense.

"Ok you can open your eyes now!" Gon said, removing his hands with a flourish.

"Huh?!" Killua gasped, his eyes growing in size when he found himself face to face with an entire shelf –or more accurately, several shelves worth– of Choco Robots. At first he squinted, but convinced that his vision was deceiving him, focused his attention on the sign conveniently placed in front of the massive display.

"Choco Robot limited edition collectible..." he read in a reverent whisper.

What? It couldn't be...

Killua eyed the lone robot that stood without a box on its own little display directly in front of the bigger display of Choco Robots. Sans box, and obviously carefully positioned by the staff to tempt passersby, the robot looked as if it was commanding an army of doppelgangers. Killua bit his lip as he stared it down and unable to resist the urge anymore, reached out to grab hold of it.

"Wow..." he mumbled, bringing the robot close enough to scrutinize.

Proceeding to carefully look it over, he could see that from afar, where it appeared to bear an uncanny resemblance to his favorite candy in terms of the coloring, up close it was more like an actual robot. Whoever this company was that had done the manufacturing, they had obviously gone to great lengths to replicate the details in a form that paid homage to the actual candy.

He frowned. Such a pity it's inedible.

If it was, he'd have taken his time eating this treasure for sure.

Looking to Gon as if seeking an explanation, Killua was met with his friend's eternally beaming face.

"It's the Chocobot!" Gon cheered as if he had been waiting for a long time to make that announcement.

"Choco Robot..." Killua corrected.

"Yeah…that."

"But it's inedible…"

"Yep!" Gon affirmed. Still beaming, he tried to recall what Hisoka had told him so that he could explain what had happened to Killua. "Um, Hisok—I mean, I heard that since it is such a popular snack item, company A joined with company B and decided to make an action figure out of it! It's just like those little collectibles we used to hunt for inside the Choco Robot candy box"—he spread his arms wide—"but much bigger! Isn't that great Killua?!"

Killua looked away from Gon's animated explanation to the toy in his hand, inspecting the construction. It really was well made.

But...

How did I not hear about this?

I should have been one of the first to know.

A few months earlier, back when he had just returned home with Alluka, there were rumors circulating that the company was developing some secret new item and Killua, like everyone else, was clueless about what that could have been.

He was confident that it would have been more chocolate though.

But this...

Killua turned over the robot in his hand.When did they release it?

Must have been released after I'd left home with Illumi…

It's still strange though; why didn't Gotoh tell me anything, he knows how much I like—

"Isn't it great Killua?" Gon repeated, his grin faltering a bit at Killua's extensive silence.

"Ah, yes...yes it is!" Killua replied, trying to match Gon's enthusiasm as his initial shock dissipated. Maybe Gotoh was planning to surprise me or something.

Anyway...

He shrugged and replaced the toy on its display, turning toward Gon. "But Gon, how did you find out about this if you were on Whale Island all this ti—"

"Come Killua!" Gon shouted excitedly before Killua could complete that question, taking hold of his hand again and grabbing one of the packaged Choco Robot figures in the same movement.

This time, Killua didn't resist, and it was easy for Gon to pull his friend along with him toward the cashier. "There's a lot more for us to do after this!"

"Ah yes," Killua mumbled absently in agreement, too preoccupied in trying to understand what exactly had just taken place to realize that Gon had intentionally dodged his question.

XXX

A few minutes later, they were standing outside the store, wordlessly enjoying each other's company. Killua had his newly acquired item in hand and despite the fact that the store's logo was printed boldly on the front of the parcel for the world to see, he was no longer embarrassed.

Any gift from Gon is worth cherishing.

Yes, it had turned out to be a gift as Gon had insisted that he pay for it and Killua had let him, knowing how stubborn his best friend could be when he'd already made up his mind to do something.

Killua smiled. He was happy to find out that his favorite snack had been made into a figurine and even better, to receive such a gift from Gon. The joy of this experience was right up there with finding the golden robot collectible inside of the Choco Robot candy box.

Unfortunately, all of his happy feelings were clouded by the fact that Gon taking him to the toy store only added to what was bothering him.

From what he had been seeing so far, it was clear that Gon was knowledgeable of a lot of the places around the city already.

To Killua, this was strange because the last time they were in York Shin (Gon's first time there) they didn't get to focus on doing any sightseeing together with the Ryodan running amok and afterwards being too busy trying to auction stuff to really stop and enjoy any of the sites.

Eventually, seeing how difficult this was, they had decided that as soon as the auction was over it would be easy to kick back and take a full tour but then this dream had become even more of an impossible feat when they had to leave suddenly to go to Greed Island.

When did Gon ever get the time to know all of these places? And so intimately? He had just arrived in the city hadn't he? His time alone wasn't long enough that he could have done some adventuring on his own.

Killua really had been looking forward to showing Gon all sorts of places but what was the point if Gon already knew most of them?

With a despondent sigh, Killua admitted to himself that this made him feel a bit disappointed.

"Hey Killua!"

He looked up to see that while he had been lost in his thoughts, Gon had started to walk off without him and was now already some distance away.

"Killua what are you doing? If you don't hurry, you'll get left behind! There's a high score in there that I bet you can't beat!" Gon stuck out his tongue and raced into the arcade.

What?

Killua looked up at the building Gon had run into to see that it was one of the only arcades left in York Shin that still had classic video games.

He's even been here too?!

What had Gon been doing since he arrived in York Shin? Leaving his mark all over the city? Momentarily forgetting his previous disposition, Killua clutched his parcel tighter, his face set with determination as he started towards the arcade.

'High score'? I am so going to replace his name at the top of that list.

XXX

N.B: Later that evening~

Dressed in the spare bathrobe, Killua stepped out of the shower feeling relieved. He had chosen to use the bathroom in the hall rather than wait to use the other in his room because he knew that once he got there sleep would claim him in no time.

Even now as he walked down the silent hallway to his room, the familiar heaviness tugged at his eyelids and he yawned. The day had turned out to be quite a full one and they'd left the arcade late, separating only after having dinner at a small restaurant.

He shook his damp hair, thinking of how good it was to finally be back home…or at least the place that served as a temporary home while he was on this job.

But of course it did not matter to Killua where he stayed, all that mattered was that it had a bed – something that was of great importance today especially since he was so tired.

Regardless of how tired he was though, Killua knew that he would never regret spending time with Gon, it was the one thing he had missed during their time apart – doing everything and anything fun together with his best friend.

He sighed happily as he entered his room and flopped down on the bed, face first. Almost immediately, before his mind could relax, he felt the familiar prickle at the back of his neck. Can't I catch a break?

"What are you doing here?" Killua asked in a bored tone, his face still mashed into the blanket.

Somehow he was understood and the shadowed figure emerged from the corner of his room. "Kil, I was checking up on you…"

"No need for that," Killua stated bluntly.

"Hmmm… You weren't here all day and I got concerned because you hadn't said anything."

"I don't need to say anything."

"Yes, but we're on a mission."

"I went to meet Gon, and we had fun. The end…happy Illu-nii?"

"Happy…?" Illumi said the word in his usual monotone as if unsure of what it meant, or why he should be feeling that emotion. "It's good that you were able to meet your friend…" he continued as he approached his brother, pausing to look down at him before sitting on the edge of his bed.

"Wahhh?!" Killua immediately sat up, on alert. "What are you doing?!"

"Sitting down."

"I can see that, but why here?"

"Killu…" Illumi drawled, black empty eyes boring into suspicious blue ones. "I won't try to hurt Gon again you know…" he said smoothly, extending one hand.

"…" Killua didn't move, unsure of what his aniki was about to do. Instead of trying to escape, his eyes darted from the approaching hand to the black expressionless eyes and then back again.

"That was our arrangement wasn't it?" Illumi asked as his hand advanced. "I won't hurt Gon or Alluka and you'd accompany me here for this job…"

Killua gasped as the hand finally planted itself atop his hair and Illumi leaned close to whisper in his ear, "You can trust me Killua, I won't hurt you. I'll never hurt my otouto…" Illumi ruffled his brother's hair, reveling in the feel of the soft, thick hair between his fingers although the other stiffened at the touch.

They didn't have contact often and were always taught not to let their emotions get the best of them but he really loved to touch Killua like this. It was his guilty pleasure.

Shifting his hand from the bushy hair to his brother's chin, he felt him flinch when their skin met but continued to tilt Killua's chin upward, seeking eye contact.

Killua felt as if he was lost in those black, bottomless orbs as Illumi spoke again, "Trust me ok, I'm your brother…"

Illumi got up and walked towards the door, but before exiting, he paused and Killua held his breath.

He turned his head to look at Killua again, as if he'd forgotten to tell him something important.

"Hmmm…and dry your hair ok? You could catch a cold."

With that, Illumi was gone, the door shutting quietly behind him.

The place was still again, the air undisturbed as if Killua hadn't just received an unwanted visitor. Killua was confused and brought his hand up to touch the spot where Illumi had held his chin as if expecting to find a needle there.

Finding nothing out of the ordinary, he flopped back onto his bed, too tired to try and decipher the mystery that was his nii-san.

Not tonight...maybe some other time.

Despite that thought though, he found himself staring aimlessly up at the ceiling, feeling as if he could still see illumi's face and hear his voice.

Just what are you up to nii-san?

Recognizing the path that his thoughts were taking, Killua frowned. How was it that Illumi had the ability to linger in his thoughts long after he was no longer around?

Urgh.

He rolled over to stare at the adjoining wall, knowing that all night, or even an eternity could be spent trying to figure out his brother's motives and he'd never succeed. That would be a useless venture and right now, falling asleep was of greater importance so that tomorrow would come faster.

Tomorrow...

He rolled over again to face the door Illumi had just closed but his mind was no longer on his brother. Grabbing one of his pillows, he grinned into the smooth cotton, excited for the sun to rise, even though it had set just a few hours earlier.

Before separating that evening, Gon had suggested that they meet up again the next day to hang out some more and Killua couldn't wait to see his best friend again.

Yawning, he hugged the pillow in his arms, reminding himself that there were some important questions that Gon had to answer when they met up again.

Oh yeah...

"I cannot forget to ask him about that," Killua mumbled groggily into the pillow, eyelids heavy as he allowed himself to plummet into the abyss that was sleep.

"What exactly is going on with you..."

"Gon..."

XXX

As Gon entered the Condo he yawned, eyes blurry from sleepiness. Looking past the living room, he quickly found Hisoka sitting at the dining table building what seemed to be a card tower to rival any he'd ever seen before. Curiously staring at it for a moment, Gon groggily rubbed at his eyes to clear his vision, turning his attention from the massive card tower to regard the one who was building it.

Deeply focused on his task, Hisoka was dressed in a pair of silk boxers as usual but this time, he was also wearing a loose white T-shirt adorned with suit symbols.

No surprise there, Gon thought. Apparently, Hisoka's entire wardrobe had suit symbols incorporated into each piece in one way or another.

The surprise though, was that Hisoka was actually fully clothed and to Gon this was a good sign, because he was starting to realize that whenever the man wore a lot of clothes at night, the chances that he would have to spend the entire night clawing the sheets were smaller.

Maybe I'll actually get some sleep tonight, Gon mused to himself. Or...at least I hope I would...

Realizing that he was just standing in the foyer trying to analyze the possibility of whether or not he'd be allowed to sleep based on how Hisoka was dressed, Gon sighed. I must really be lacking sleep. He looked down at his clothes. But first I need a shower.

Slowly, Gon started to walk into the living room, stopping short of where Hisoka was seated. "Tadaima," he muttered finally, stifling a yawn.

"Okaerinasai Gon-kun, how was your little adventure? ~" Hisoka asked, only briefly looking up from his card structure.

"Ah!" Gon exclaimed as Hisoka's question reminded him of his fun day. "It was great!" he responded excitedly, his tiredness momentarily forgotten as he went on to tell Hisoka about all the things that he and Killua had done.

"Sounds like it was fun~" Hisoka acknowledged, studying him with a smile.

"Hai!" Gon replied quickly, rushing past him to run toward the bedroom. Now that he was done talking to Hisoka, he could hardly wait to get into the shower and then dressed for bed.

"There's takeout if you're hungry~" Hisoka said to Gon's back right before the young man disappeared. "I left your share of Gyudon in the fridge~"

Gon stuck his head out of the room, already partially undressed. "Nah I'll pass; I ate a lot while I was with Killua today and I'm stuffed! All I need now is a warm shower and a good night's rest." Disappearing into the bedroom again, he added, loud enough so Hisoka could hear him, "Tomorrow we're going to visit this café that Killua says has the best milkshakes in all of York Shin!"

"Is that the café I took you to a couple times this week? ~"

"Well he said that it's near the Plaza so I think that that's the one!"

"Mmmhmm~"

"In that case," Gon continued, "I'll tell Killua to try the chocolate surprise that you'd bought for me! That was awesome!"

"Nice to know that you liked it…~" Hisoka said under his breath with a smile. He did not even mind that Gon was not going to eat with him that night and with a small shrug, he went back to his cards to focus on putting up the last few levels at the top of the complex, incomplete pyramid.

All was quiet again and Hisoka continued happily - tentatively putting up one card at a time - until the silence was broken by the distinctive sound of the shower being turned on.

"Oh? ~" he whispered to himself, the surprise causing him to accidentally knock over his card structure.

Despite having lost hours of work, Hisoka's expression showed no disappointment as his mind was no longer focused on building card towers, but on Gon; the same Gon that was most likely naked right now.

Naked and wet~

"Ohhh~" Shamelessly excited by the thought, his lewd anticipation personified itself in the form of a broad smile and Hisoka moaned, already deciding what he'd do to Gon as soon as he had his hands on him.

Turning in his seat to face the corridor that led to their bedroom, Hisoka cleared his throat and grinned lasciviously.

"Do you want company in there, Gon? ~" he called out, his tone low and teasing but loud enough for Gon to hear what he'd said.

At Hisoka's scandalous offer, Gon blushed brightly in the shower. "Stop teasing me Hisoka!" he warned.

"Ok then I won't," Hisoka said, at first seeming to concede to Gon's panicked outburst before quickly adding, "I'll save all the teasing for when you come out of there~" He moaned. "Oh yeah Gon, we're going to have fun tonight~"

"What?!" Gon could hardly believe what he was hearing. "Why do you always have to be so—!"

"Don't fret Gon-kun," Hisoka smoothly interrupted before he could finish his rant. "Take your time, I'm not rushing you. The night is ours to enjoy and I'll be waiting out here for you anyway…~" he promised, grinning mischievously.

Gon's heart pounded out a frantic beat. It was definitely going to be a long night.

Re-edit note: Go Go Power Soldiers XD LOL I don't know why but I kept imagining that the 'vagabond soldier' bore a close resemblance to Illumi and couldn't stop laughing...

A/N:

1) Ah Gon, your life has suddenly become more demanding...can you REALLY keep the two men in your life happy? Hahahahaha

2) Yay and Illu-nii appears XD although Killua doesn't take his advice…

Illumi: "dry your hair ok? You could catch a cold." Killua: "…" *falls asleep* LOL don't be like Killua…always dry your hair properly before going to bed…

3) Killua has questions for Gon…oh no…has he figured out something?

4) And on another note, Hisoka! Let Gon sleep…if I didn't know better, I'd swear he was making him tired on purpose...sheesh Gon is not a robot lol XD

Thank you for reading, review if you can and I'll see you in another update!
