Kuondo slipped on his blue jacket, the brightness finally returning to his chocolate-colored eyes. Why wouldn't he be happy when Pirro was finally getting better?

Gon had decided to bring Kuondo over to visit the hospital, and they were almost ready to go.

"Kuondo, are you almost ready?" Gon called from downstairs.

"Coming!" Kuondo called back, heading down the stairs.

Things were finally looking up.

…

"Pietro, Illuko, you guys are visiting, too?" Kuondo asked, surprised to see his friends waiting for him there.

"No, we just both happened to come down with a severe infection." Illuko replied, smirking.

Kuondo was about to retort when he saw two other familiar faces in front of the door. "Aruko! Lily! Long time no see!"

"Yo." Aruko said, smiling.

Lily opened her mouth to say hello, but was interrupted by another voice.

"Heh, you guys sure do take a while, especially at a time like this."

They all turned to see Kurapika standing in the doorway, holding it open with one hand. Despite the obvious, he had a smile on his face.

"Kurapika!" Kuondo exclaimed. "Don't worry, we miss Pirro, so we couldn't stay away for long."

Kurapika's smile didn't waver. He opened the door wider. "You hear that? They miss you, so how about you come on out?"

Kuondo's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, but then a gasp escaped his mouth.

Standing in the doorway was a figure slightly taller than he was, with hair just long enough to touch his shoulders. His arm was in a sling and his head was wrapped in a thin bandage. Other than that, despite the few bandages dotting his body, he seemed fine.

"Heh, sorry I worried you guys!"

Kuondo's shocked expression shifted into a smile. "Pirro! You're okay!"

Pirro smiled back, but let out a cry of alarm as he was practically sandwich-tackled by his friends, causing them all to fall over.

Kuondo hugged Pirro as tightly as he could without hurting him. He never wanted to let go.

Pirro lightly hugged him back with his good arm. "Hey, you okay?"

"I am now." Kuondo replied, wiping his eyes with the back of his arm.

"Pirro!" Pirro had just sat up when he was barreled into again, this time by Lily. "How could you do that to me, you jerk?! I thought I'd never see you again!"

"Lily, it's okay! I'm fine now, see?" He backed up and showed her a wide grin. Lily returned a misty smile before closing her eyes and leaning forward...

"Well, that was a relief, huh?" Illuko asked, smirking again. "Pietro cried like a baby!"

"I did not!" Pietro protested. "And even if I did, so did you!"

"Hmph! No I didn't!"

They were interrupted by Pirro stumbling over to them, his face and his eyes the same bright red.

"What's up?" Kuondo asked.

"Sh-She kissed me, man…"

Kuondo was a bit confused. "But she's done it before, right?"

"Yeah, but not on the mouth!"

"Oh."

Pietro laughed. "Twelve years old and a girl's already kissed you! You're such a ladies man, Pirro!"

"H-hey! I'm not a ladies man! That's gross! I'm not the one who thinks Iluko's cousin is hot, now am I?"

Now Pietro was red-faced. "Who told you that?!"

Kuondo cocked his head. "Wait, which cousin?"

Pirro gave a devious grin before crossing his arms and sighing in mock annoyance. "Roughhousing with you boys? Humph, I think I'll pass."

Kuondo covered his mouth with both hands to keep from laughing. "Pietro has a crush on Illuna?"

Pietro looked at the ground. "Keh! 'Course not."

"Now who's the ladies man?"

"I am 100% willing to put your other arm in a sling if you don't shut up right now."

"Pirro-nii!" Aliya ran over to Pirro, giving him a big hug. "You're not sleeping anymore!"

Kuondo panicked. "A-Aliya, watch his arm!"

Pirro laughed. "That's okay, Kuondo. Hey, Aliya, have you been good?"

"Yup!"

Kuondo laughed too, which surprised him a bit, because just yesterday he'd felt like he'd never laugh again.

…..

Everyone else had gone home, and now Pirro and Kuondo were walking around D-Road park.

"Hey, Pirro?"

"Hm?"

"Promise me one thing."

"Okay?"

"Next time you go off to fight a master criminal, bring us along, okay?"

Pirro grinned. "Sure thing!" Suddenly, they were interrupted by Pirro's phone buzzing. He fished it out of his robe and looked down at it. When he read the message, he paled.

Kuondo, confused and a bit worried, looked over his shoulder to read the message.

….

Dad: It's time!

….

"Oh boy." Kuondo mumbled.

Pirro panicked. "Wah, is Mom okay? Is something wrong? Oh, why didn't Dad explain in more deta-"

Kuondo grabbed his shoulder. "Is she okay? Are you okay? Quit having a mental breakdown and come on!"

And so, once again, they were off.

-Season 2 End-

Kuondo: It's time to answer last chapter's questions! First of all, who taught us Nen?

Pirro: Ooh, I can answer that! Our master's name is Zushi! Master Zushi is so cool, he taught us all about Nen!

Kuondo: Pirro, your eyes.

Pirro: Sorry! Anyway, the next question was 'Who is Kuondo's Mother?'.

Kuondo: I'll answer that. My mom's name is Alluka!

Pirro: Wait, that means you and Illuko are cousins?

Kuondo: You didn't know that?

Pirro: I hadn't thought about it until now… but you don't really look like your mom.

Kuondo: That's what everyone says. Aliya looks like Mom, though. Mom says she used to have a wish-granting-other-self thing called Nanika, but she doesn't do it a lot anymore. She won't take wishes from anyone but Uncle Killua, but even then only in emergencies. Trust me, I've tried it.

Pirro: Uhhh, doesn't that mean you have two moms?

Kuondo: No, I don't think that's how it works. That'd be weird!

(Hehe, I know GonXAlluka is a weird and rare ship, but it's so cute, especially in Among the Water Weeds, a really cool story by OoodlesofNooodles! I am almost positive I didn't get her name right. Anyway, Season 2 still has a bit more content. Two extras and a Character Guide! I hope you liked Season 2! :) )
