CHAPTER TWO- Mysterious Note X Hisoka X Welcome Killua
"I'm back…" Killua said bluntly, only to be confronted with her grumpy mother.
"Killu! Where were you today?" she huffed.
"I was outside." She pointed.
"Where were you outside?"
"Why do you need to know mother? Now move…" she said sternly so her mother moved out of the way. As Killua was walking away her mother fell to her knees and put both her hands on her face.
"Killu…you're becoming more and more colder each day…it's magnificent!"
"If I have any free time after my…job…I'll come by your place okay?"
Killua slapped her cheeks twice then looked straight ahead. "That human is seriously making me all messed up lately!"
She looked at her human hands before transforming them back to claws.
"Well I don't have a grudge over them at all, I think they're pretty cool in my opinion. The way they are part dragon and all…makes us human look weak you know…"
Killua smiled softly and giggled to herself. "Pretty cool? Haha! He's so weird!"
"…" she stopped in her tracks.
"…makes us human look weak you know…"
She looked at the ceiling, closed her eyes then reopened them. "Weak…huh…?"
The next morning came and there was a knock on Killua's bedroom door so she jumped up, opened it and looked on the floor.
"Just on time!" she grinned to herself and picked up the piece of paper on the floor. "Let's see who I have to assassinate this time…" she asked herself as she was opening the paper. There was one name and a cloth sticky taped next to it. She read out the name.
"Hisoka…? Huh? I thought I was assassinating two people today…what gives?" she flipped the paper over the other side but it was blank. She studied the name again then looked left and right. "Did I get this mixed up with one of my brother's list? Oh no wait…dad would never get a list wrong…"
She bit her long fingernail with her front two teeth, deep in thought. "No, I think I'm just overthinking things…" she scratched the back of her head then put her left hand in her pocket and closed the door with her right.
She took off her pyjamas and put on a black t-shirt followed with a purple skirt and she wore her purple runners again. As usual, her brown cloak wrapped around her body, hiding her dragon tail. She took out the piece of paper from her pocket and ripped the cloth out and cringed at it. "This must be what I use to track him…well here goes…"
Killua sniffed the cloth and in an instant she threw the cloth away and held her nose. "WHAT THE HELL! He smells so foul! Well at least his smell is strong so I'll be able to track him…"
She coughed a few times then picked up the thrown cloth and put it in her pocket with the paper. She went outside, closed her eyes and took a big sniff in the fresh air. Immediately her eyes opened and she grinned to herself.
"Found you…" and she left. In the distance a black figure appeared in the bushes and it disappeared suddenly once Killua left.
Killua ran, not making any noise with her steps and once the scent got really close she jumped on a tree and hid behind the trunk. She took a peek behind it and she caught sight of Hisoka's appearance.
He looked like a magician or jester. He was tall, light skin, red hair and fairly toned. He face-painted a red star on his right cheek and a light neon green tear drop on his left cheek. He had dark reddish horns that were sticking out of his head and his eyes were light green slits. He wore a light blue shirt that didn't completely cover his whole body. His body had pink rings that wrapped around it. He had pink rings on his wrists, ankles and his sleeves. His shirt had the symbol clubs and spades, on the back hearts and diamonds. He wore baggy, puffy pants that were the same colour as his top and he wore a yellow cloth that wrapped around his hips in one knot. His crimson red dragon tail sticking out and swaying casually back and forth. To finish off his look he has jester like shoes that were the colour dark blue.
Killua could feel the killer intent in him and that made her shiver, sending goose bumps all over her body. She took a deep breath in and her switch turned on.
She was now in assassin mode…
Her eyes were cold and the only emotion she was feeling was bloodlust. In a flash she jumped out of the tree without a sound and moved swiftly into the bushes. Hisoka, not moving from his current position was surprisingly calm which made Killua even more cautious.
Peering through the leaves of the bushes she looked for an opening that was easy to strike. She took sight of the left side of his hips and aimed there. Her hand, already a claw transformed again, making her nails sharper than before.
She took another breath in, concealing her presence. She stared at the calm and collected Hisoka for a while then she made her move. She jumped out of the bushes and sprinted towards him and thrusted her right hand accurately at his left side of his hip but before her hand made contact with it Hisoka grabbed her arm which made her flinch and think fast.
She jumped using her right foot and tried to kick him with her left leg but he blocked it as well and in a split second he threw Killua away from him.
"CRAP!" Killua tried to break her fall but failed and her back hit a tree and she coughed out blood. She wiped it with her hand and looked at Hisoka angrily. Hisoka looked at the person who attacked him clearly and grinned creepily.
"Ohh…look what we have here…" he chuckled softly to himself and licked his lips. "And who might you be little girl…?"
Killua didn't bother answering and quickly stood up into a fighting stance. She took off her cloak and sent it flying away from their fighting zone.
"Easy little girl, I won't do no harm to you, I just want to know why you are attacking me." Hisoka smiled.
"I'm not chit chatting with you Hisoka…you're just trouble." Killua said coldly and she once again attempted to kill him. She ran behind him and aimed for his legs but then Hisoka disappeared so she stood her ground and looked around.
"Where are you?" She yelled out keeping her guard up.
Hisoka chuckled, his voice filled the forest clearing making Killua unable to pinpoint his exact location.
"Stop hiding Hisoka! Show yourself!" she clenched her fists.
He chuckled again. "Feisty aren't you…" the voice echoed.
"There's only two options for you to attack me." The voice said. "One, you could have heard of me around town and just wanted money, my bounty is pretty high. And two…you could be an…assassin…" Killua looked around and all of a sudden Hisoka was next to her. He grabbed Killua's neck and lifted her up, chocking her.
"Uhh…" Killua grabbed Hisoka's hands and tried to loosen the grip but the more she tried to do that, the tighter the grip was. 'What should I do…I can't fail a mission now…not today…when someone is waiting for me…'
An image of Gon popped into her mind.
"Gon…" Killua faintly said. As the grip tightened ever so slightly Hisoka's face turned even more perverted. He laughed. "Now that I look at you closer you must be an assassin, which means you must be related to him…"
He chuckled as he spoke again, "Hehe, I love that look on your face little assassin. Show more of that expression!" Hisoka grinned gleefully.
"Uhh…" Killua struggled, fighting back. She sprouted her dark purple wings out and started flapping. As she started to levitate she used her claws to scratch Hisoka's arms which made him loosen up a bit, opening an escape her. She flew out of his grasp and the look on Hisoka's face was stunned.
"Hooo…I see you still have a bit of fight in you, how exciting…let's see how long you'll last…" Hisoka's red wings sprouted out as well as he jumped into the skies. "What will you do now, little assassin…?" He licked his lips.
"Che…humph…you'll see…" she smirked as a light blue flash sparked around her. Blue lightning circled around her body and around her arms.
"Hoho, interesting." Hisoka chuckled.
Killua walked, slowly circling around Hisoka. Hisoka just stared, watching her every move. As Killua moved, after images followed her, creating an illusion. Hisoka's eyes widened as he came to realise what was coming.
"Rhythm echo…" Killua mumbled. After images of Killua circled around Hisoka, confusing him. Even though he was in this position he stayed calm.
"I see you have little tricks up your sleeve…but you're not the only one with tricks." He said coldly, holding a joker card in between his index and third finger.
Within the after images the real Killua blended in, watching Hisoka and looking for another opening. She sprinted for him. "Izutsushi! (Lightning Palm)" Killua shocked Hisoka's body and quickly followed up with a punch, knocking him a few metres but he stood his ground.
"Che, didn't do much damage…" Killua wiped off some of her sweat off her forehead.
"I'm bored…time to end this." Hisoka instantly appeared in front of Killua and punched her straight in the stomach which made her cough a handful of blood, the force of that strike made her fall to the ground. Hisoka flew straight for her and landed on top of her. His left hand held her right arm down so she could escape. She had nowhere to run.
"Shit!" she cursed to herself as she now was mentally prepared for her fate. "Gon…I'm sorry…"
"Bye bye…little assassin…" Hisoka flicked his fingers and a queen of hearts card appeared on his fingers.
"That's enough Hisoka, you can stop now." A voice said and in the darkness of the forest the figure walked out of the shadows.
"Aniki…?" Killua said under her breath. "What are you doing here?"
"Illumi, hi~ " Hisoka casually waved.
"Don't kill her Hisoka, Killu still needs more training." Illumi explained.
"Suit yourself…" Hisoka flipped the card in between his fingers, immediately disappearing from sight and leaving a small thin cut along Killua's neck. Any deeper could have killed her. He got up and dusted himself off, leaving Killua on the floor catching her breath, a little trickle of blood escaping from her cut and dribbling down her collarbone.
"So how is she related to you Illumi?" Hisoka asked, pointing to a helpless Killua.
"Oh her? She's my little sister." He said bluntly, not showing any emotion.
"Hmmm…little sister? No wonder she was a good fighter. But she does need improvement…until then, I can't wait to fight her again…" he licked his lips. "Speaking of which, why are you here Illumi?"
"I've come to collect my little sister, I was just testing her to see how capable she was with fighting with you and I can see she still needs practice."
"W-wait…" Killua spoke. "So you're the one who changed my list…?"
"Yeah." Illumi nodded. "I quickly changed your list with that fake one there. It was hard though, to forge dad's handwriting."
"You idiot…" she cursed as she tried to stand.
"Now let's go Killu."
"No! I'll go back myself." She coughed a few times rubbing her sore stomach and stood up, her legs shaking.
"Suit yourself, but don't stay outside too long or else I'll get worried." Illumi said coldly as he walked back into the shadows, his presence vanishing.
"As if you would, you don't even care." Killua mumbled to herself.
Hisoka chuckled. "I'm going to leave now, no point staying here. Until next time, little assassin…" Hisoka said and disappeared, with no trace or scent of him left.
"Ahhhhhhhh…" Killua sighed loudly and sat down. She rubbed her stomach again then touched her cut on her neck. She tucked her wings in her back and made her appearance more human.
"I should stay here a while before I go to Gon's place…I need to conserve my energy until I am able to properly stand…" She leaned her hand against a tree to give support as she tried again to stand up, but the pain she was feeling in her stomach made her want to throw up so she sat down immediately.
Gon sat on his bed and put his chin on his hand, his arm resting on the window sill as he was looking outside.
"Mmmm…I wonder if Killua is coming today…maybe she got held up in her job somehow…" Gon thought while looking out the window.
"Hm? Are you expecting a guest today?" Mito asked him holding a basket of laundry in her hands.
"Un! I invited a friend over!" he cheerfully said.
Mito smiled. "It's great that you found a nice friend. I'll make something nice to eat tonight just in case he's coming."
"'He?' Mito-san, my friend's a 'she'."
"…" Mito looked at Gon blankly then went back to earth. "A-A SHE?! Oh my goodness! Is she cute?" Mito quickly ran to Gon in a flash, dunking the laundry behind her.
"She is but she's very shy and cool!"
"Heeeeh…" Mito grinned. "I can't wait to meet her." She giggled. She picked up her laundry and headed outside to dry them in the sunshine.
Gon yawned and rubbed his eyes and looked at the time.
5:38pm
"I guess it wouldn't hurt to take a quick nap…" he thought drowsily until sleepiness took over him as he collapsed on his bed and fell asleep.
"Ok I think I'll be okay now…" Killua stood up perfectly. "The blood dried up on my neck so that won't be a problem anymore. Now where's my hoodie…?" Killua looked around the clearing until she found it behind a bush, a bit scratched. She put it on and checked her backside.
"Yep, it still covers my tail, I should be fine. Now I should go to Gon's place, he must be expecting me now…" She dusted herself off, put her hood on her head and then started to run. It didn't take her too long to reach his house. In twenty minutes or so she reached her destination.
She stared at the house in awe because she has never seen a house like this before. Yes, she has seen lots of these houses around the human area but she has never taken a closer look at them and it amazed her. She was used to looking at mansions and tall buildings because her parents were rich but this house was petit and…home-like.
She hesitated to ring the doorbell because it was pretty late and she didn't want to intrude. But she did tell Gon that she was coming…well might be coming…but she was still scared to ring the doorbell.
Killua finally made a decision and rang the doorbell then quickly took a step back, frightened by the sound of the ring. She swallowed when the door started to open and popped out a lady that looked like she was in her late twenties. She took a look at Killua and stared at her a bit.
"And who might you be?" she asked politely, trying not to question her suspicious appearance.
"O-Oh I'm…" Killua lifted her hoodie off her head to reveal her face. "I'm Killua. I'm here to see Gon. Is he here at the moment?"
Mito still stared at Killua which made Killua slightly uncomfortable.
"YOU'RE HER!" Mito screamed cheerfully.
"Pardon?" asked a clueless Killua.
"You're Gon's friend right? Gon has been expecting you'd come! Come in come in!" Mito stepped behind Killua and pushed her in the house. "Would you like me to take your cloak?" Mito reached for it but Killua quickly stopped her with her hand.
"No, it's okay. I'll keep it on."
"Very well. If you're looking for Gon he's probably in his room. It's just the room over there." She pointed.
"Thank you and sorry for intruding on such short notice…"
"Oh no it's fine, Gon has been talking about this all morning so I think it'll be impossible at this point to not know that someone is coming over."
"I see, sorry again." She bowed.
"It's okay. Oh! I almost forgot I'm Mito by the way, you can call me Mito-san if you like."
"Okay, thanks again Mito-san." Killua smiled softly then walked away in the direction to Gon's room.
Killua knocked three times on the door. "Gon? You there?" she knocked again.
"Gon…?" she looked down to the knob then blushed.
"Should I…?" she asked herself.
Her hand trembled on the door knob until she built up her courage to turn it and take a peek inside. Gon's room was very neat and tidy. Books lined up neatly on the shelf, a table sitting in the middle of the room, his desk wiped clean with no hint of dust. Compared to her brother Milluki's room, this was the neatest bedroom she has ever seen from a boy, no offense intended. She looked at the floor and spotted Gon's green jacket on the ground, all wrinkled up as if he just threw it there. Killua looked further up where the bed lay and in the bed she spotted spikey raven hair which made her heart skip a beat. She walked into the room and the smell of Gon spread through the entire room which made her a bit ditzy. She peered at the bed and she saw Gon sleeping, breathing calmly and softly which made her smile. Killua went on her knees and with her right hand she patted Gon's head, her fingers going through his short spikey hair.
"Gon?" She shook his shoulder. "You got to wake up now…" she said softly.
Gon rolled over to the other side making a slight groan. Killua pouted in frustration so she tried again. She hopped onto the bed and shook Gon's shoulder again.
"Wake up!" she said in her normal tone of voice but he just groaned again, refusing to wake up.
"Oh I see how it is…" she smirked. She crept closer and leaned her head towards the side of his face until she was directly above his ear.
With one breath in she let out a gigantic shout. "GOOON! WAKKKE UUPPPPP!"
"EYYYAAAHHHHHH!" he spouted and knocked Killua in the process, making her fall off the bed and onto the carpet floor.
"Oww…" she rubbed the back of her head then her nose.
Gon looked left and right, his breathing going back to normal as he checked the time.
"6:09pm? I slept for 31 minutes?" Gon rubbed his cheek and noticed a bit of pain was felt. "I feel like I hit something…what was it…?" He looked over his bed and found Killua still rubbing her nose.
"Killua…? KILLUA!" Gon leapt out of bed and glomped onto Killua, hugging her tightly.
"Uwahh! Gon…" her heart skipped a beat as Gon hugged her. When the hug got tighter she tapped Gon's back. "I'm gonna die! Let go!" she chocked on her words as Gon realised he squeezed her too hard so he let go of her and apologised, sticking his tongue out playfully.
"Sorry Killua…I took a quick nap while you were here…did you wait long?"
"Don't worry, I just arrived!"
"Oh. Well…um…I'll see if Mito-san is done with dinner. Just wait here okay?"
"Sure." Killua properly sat down, her legs extended underneath Gon's round table and her arms were resting on the table top. She looked up at the bookshelf and scanned through the book's titles. One of them stood out the most so she stood up and took it off the shelf then made her way back to the table.
"Draconian…" she read out. "Well that's a boring name for a book…" she opened to the first page and read out the first paragraph to herself.
What are draconian?
Draconian are half dragon half human. They are humans but with dragon like features on their body to resemble a dragon. They are very dangerous to humans because of their demonic behaviour and their craving for human flesh. The more human they eat, the stronger they get. When a draconian is first born it will take a few years before their dragon senses become stronger to prey on human flesh.
Killua immediately dropped the book across the room and backed away, hugging her knees.
"What…? Draconian…eat humans…?" Killua panicked.
"What if I eat Gon…?" Killua didn't even want to picture that image, it was too much for her. Now she wanted to leave, she wanted to go home to keep Gon safe, she didn't want to hurt him.
"Killua?" Gon called.
"Kyaa! W-what Gon…?" she quickly turned around.
"Dinner's ready let's go!"
"O-okay…" she mumbled as she stood up then walked beside Gon.
"I bet you're going to love Mito-san's cooking, her cooking is always the best!"
Killua smiled at his enthusiasm. "She didn't poison the food did she?" she asked in a serious manner.
"Huh? Poison? Don't be silly! Why would she do that? If she did that we would all die! You're so silly Killua!" Gon laughed even though Killua actually meant it.
On their way to the table Killua could only think of the book and what it said about her race.
What will happen if her dragon senses become stronger the longer she stays with Gon? The more likely she will try to kill him…
She frowned at the thought as she soon realised that she will have to stop hanging out with Gon or on the human side as she might harm someone. She wanted to go back home and ask her father about this whole eating humans thing but she was scared that if it was true, does that mean her whole race has ate a human before? Including her father? Her whole family? And she didn't realise it throughout these years?
"What should I do…?" Killua asked herself as she squeezed her shell necklace with her right hand.
