(A/N: I'm so sorry this took so long!)

Ch.12: Luck

"What do you mean I missed the dress?" Kikyo cries, "I knew I should have taken the earlier train!"

"You didn't miss much mom, I promise." Kalluto replies, "I haven't even seen it in person yet. It's a copy of a picture in a book I like." He hands the book to his mother, who looks at the picture and gasps.

"Kalluto it's beautiful! Of course you inherited my good taste." She giggles, "Too bad a few of the others didn't."

Feitan grabbed Kalluto's hand and gave it a squeeze. The younger male smiles knowingly, and excuses them from the conversation.

"Are you tired?" Kalluto asks.

"Yeah. Let's go read."

The two lock themselves in the library, and find a comfortable seat curled up in the windowsill. Feitan pulls out a new book from his coat, price tag still on it.

"Man at the store says I buy so many books he give me discount." Feitan says, "He wonders how I got engaged with these."

Kalluto giggles and leans on his shoulder, "really? How could you not?"

Feitan's arms loop around Kalluto's waist as he flips open the book. Ah yes, cuddling to gore and distress, how romantic. Only they could do it.

"This is really the dream, huh?" Feitan muses, "I, one of the most fucked up people on public record, am engaged to someone who not only accept my weird hobbies, he enjoys them as well. I'm really lucky aren't I? Relationships like this aren't exactly common."

He takes a minute to sneak a peek at the Zoldyck curled up to him, and smiles. Kalluto was really cute…

"Hell, I'm going soft aren't I?"

Break

Alluka looks out the window, observing the passing landscape with wide eyes. Trains were a new and exciting experience for her.

"Killua, what's that?" she asks pointing to a tall building in the distance.

"That's Heavens Arena Alluka." He replies, "Maybe we'll take you to one of Hisoka's fights sometimes. We get front row seating, because he likes us."

"Really? Wow that's so cool!" She bounces in her seat, "Can I fight in there some day?"

Gon shrugs, "it takes a lot of work, but with a little push I'm sure you guys would rock it!"

"That sounds like fun Allu!" Nanika agrees, "We should work really hard and get really strong! And we'll take the Hunters Exam too!"

Alluka nods happily, and goes back to staring out the window.

"Hey Nani?" she whispers, "Where do you think Kalluto and Feitan will go on their honeymoon?"

"I don't know. Probably a library. Or an art museum."

Alluka almost giggled at the thought of her brother literally living in a library. He would, wouldn't he?

Break

Another vase hits the wall above Milluki's head, earning a pig-like squeal.

"I'm trying Illumi! I can only hack these sites so fast!" he whimpers, "These sites have incredible protection."

"I. don't. Care!" the elder murmurs with a hint of insanity, "I need you to find out information on that wedding so I can torch the fucking thing and everyone in it!"

The chubby brother begins to type faster, but it's not a hack he's planning. But Illumi, being technologically inept, had no idea. He was planning to send an anonymous message to one of the spiders, through her twitter, in a code Kalluto knew how to decode.

"Illumi is trying to sabotage the wedding and kill you all in the process. He is threatening my life. Father is backing him completely. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT put any information out there. Do not plan a wedding at any professional venue; he will find it. Be prepared.-Milluki."

(A/N: short interlude chapter is short. But nothing can really get done until Machi gets the twitter message and Alluka gets back to the house.)
