Chapter fifteen. Hello. Let's just get to it. It's a little short. I apologize.

Important A/N at the end!

Enjoy!

~~~Chapter Fifteen~~~

"You... You do not need me! Stop it! Stop lying to me!"

"Why would I lie to you!?"

"Because I am me! No one is supposed to like me! Why do you not hate me!?" I scream, not sleepy or groggy at all now.

"Are you serious? I lo- Er, I mean... I don't hate you! Never!" Killua shouts back, towering me. I feel so small. I have always been pretty short, though.

I start pouting, repeating over and over that he hates me.

"You keep lying to me. And I do not like that. So I will prove it to you, I will prove that you hate me!" I finally yell, gripping the neck of the violin and the bow.

"No, don't!"

I am transported into his mind, into his soul. It is time.

Alright, let us see. We will go about... maybe 5 minutes in? Or, we can just view the whole thing... Yes, let us do that.

I watch the memories and thoughts roll by. Subconsciously I am still playing the violin. That has always been cool to me.

Here we are...

What if she's dead? Maybe I should go and check on her. Yeah.

No, Killua. Keeping her with you... That's not a good idea.

But I want to be with her. I want to see her.

Ugh, my face is burning. Stop it, Killua. This isn't you. You don't think about these things!

Shizuka? What the hell is she doing here?

She looks so weak. That scares me.

Why can't I just shut up and say something nice?

Agh, she thinks I hate her. That's not even close to the truth. It's so far from it.

I like her so much.

She's playing with her hair! Look away Killua, don't succumb to the cuteness!

Damn it! She's going to hear everything...

The song ends and I change modes.

Killua is in a ball, his head buried in his knees. He is scared. He is embarrassed.

"Ah... I am... crying," I mumble, wiping away the tears. They keep flowing out, rolling down my cheek and dropping to the floor. They soak into the rug, leaving spots.

Killua doesn't move. I smile. He is embarrassed.

I crouch down next to him, and tap his head.

"Um... P-Please look up..."

When he does not, I have a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. Could he actually be angry at me? I do not want him to be mad at me!

I sit next to him, and rest my head on his shoulder. He tenses up, but relaxes after just a few moments. I get hiccups, after all the crying and yelling. I hear a few giggles.

And then, it explodes into laughter. Killua topples over and grips his sides, laughing his head off.

"Wh... What!?"

"Your... Y- Your... Your hiccups are so... so... so funny!" he chokes out, "Agh, ow, my belly!"

"Sh- Shut up!" I scream, completely embarrassed. I start hitting him, which just makes him laugh more.

I yank on his shirt, over and over.

"You are so mean!" I say, trying to be serious, but I end up laughing as well.

I immediately stop when he falls on top of me.

•••••

I am not sure if it was an accident or on purpose, but it was awkward, for sure.

His nose was practically touching mine. His eyes were a deep blue, and... honestly, I could not look away.

"S-S-S-Stop trying to charm me!"

I push him off with all of my strength. How...

How embarrassing! My!

He looks a little dazed, but instantly turns bright red as he realizes what happened.

"That never happened. That never happened!" he kept repeating.

I take a deep breath, and look him in the eye. He freezes.

"Killua... um..."

"You... You said my name! You said it! I heard it!" he exclaims, his face just priceless. I look down.

"Shizuka...?"

"You..."

"You are just too cute!" I attack him with a hug. I just could not help myself. It is what happens when you are a girl.

Ah, he smells really good. And he is really warm.

His hair is really soft. Like a kitten.

"Are you... Are you petting me?" he asks in a muffled voice.

"N-No!"

You know what?

I want to stay this way forever.

••••••••••

Is it bad to stay that I wAS FANGIRLING WHILE READING MY OWN STORY WOW I SUCK.

Ahhhh~ I feel great.

Okay. Here's the important stuff.

I'm not doing the whole story. I'm going to the end of the Greed Island arc. There's a slight chance that I'll change my mind, so we'll see. But it's for certain that I will at least get to that point.

Kurapika is about to come back into the story, and if you didn't realize it, Shizuka had taken quite the liking to him (even though she barely met him, haha). So we'll get to see some major jealously going on. Whoo!

Yes, I will refer to her as Shizuka. She refers to herself as that still, also.

Alright... Thank you for reading, reviewing, favoriting and following! It means a lot!
