"Another player has used Contact to reach you."

The line lingers in my head as I look at Killua.

He shrugs his arms as I focus back on my book, wondering out loud "Who would call me... And at this time, none-of-the-less?"

I open my book, seeing Killua look at it, interested as well.

The voice speaking through the book triggers a memory, of someone I recognise so well, yet I can't place my finger on it "Hello... Daniel-Chan."

I look at Killua confused.

Killua looks a me slightly pissed off at me.

I retort "Sorry, but who are you?"

The female responds amused "Oh how could you forget me? We've know each other for so long I'm surprised at you, Neko Daniel-Chan...!"

My eyes widen at that quote.

No way... another family member is in this game as well... Just my fucken luck!

The second person I hate so much in my entire list of cousins!

I retort back at the book, yelling at this girl "One fucken time! Just one fucken time!"

Killua's P.O.V

What exactly is one fucken time?

Has he been lying to me about his past life, keeping someone else he liked in the dark from me?

I swear Daniel! If you've lied to me about some else... I'll kill you!

Meanwhile - Daniel's P.O.V

Killua glares at me.

I speak, trying to pretend there is no one else in the room "Sephestia Om-Nietro! What brings you from whatever shit hole you crawled out of, to this game?"

Sephestia muses, speaking in a sing-song tone "So you remember me now!... Took you long enough, husband!"

Killua's P.O.V

Daniel looks over to me as I think.

Husband?!

His fucken cheating on me with a girl... or is he cheating on the girl with me?

I lift a fist in anger at him, ready to break his neck in half.

Daniel's P.O.V

I lift my finger to my lips, motioning Killua to stay quite "Really now? First Yan and now you... sorry, but not interested!"

Killua lowers his fist slowly until her next few words, riles him up "It's because of that little boy toy of yours... what was his name? Killua, hmm!"

Killua is about to yell as I cover his mouth, wanting to abuse her for Killua "Oh? Is that right you skank! You wish you could have me and see me naked!"

Sephestia responds slyly through the book "Oh... but I have...!"

Meanwhile - Killua's P.O.V

"It's because of that little boy toy of yours... what was his name? Killua, hmm!"

I fume in anger, wanting to kill her, only to be stopped by Daniel's hands, covering my mouth.

He better not defend me! I want to kill her right now!

"Oh? Is that right you skank! You wish you could have me and see me naked!"

That bastard! When I remove his hands, I'm going to kill her, then I'm gonna-

"Oh... but I have...!"

The world comes crashing down around me, having a thirst to slit her throat. I'm gonna kill her!

Daniel's P.O.V

I retort to the book, trying to motion for Killua to calm down "When?"

Sephestia thinks for a moment "Hmm... about four... wait no five years ago!"

"When I was eight...? Ah... when you first called me Neko. That doesn't count! I had my underwear on..."

Sephestia responds slyly "Oh my I could tell you were excited to see me!"

"Morning wood doesn't count! What the fuck do you want?"

"Oh? I was just around... with my sister and her husband, when I spotted you in a group; with a not so Kawaii clown, some embarrassed dude, another boy looking to be around your age and HIM!"

I sigh "City of Love... so that's where you saw me..." I raise my voice, slightly pissed "So who did Rosabella marry what's his name?"

Sephestia replies calmly "Yan Derekrica..."

I look at Killua, smiling after kissing him on the forehead "Yes! Two bitches and one dumbass to go!"

"I beg your pardon!"

"Oh, I'm sorry one bitch, one dumbass and one skank to go!"

Killua's P.O.V

I smile for some reason, after hearing Daniel call her a skank for a second time.

I'm still pissed at you though... Why the hell won't you let me defend myself?

Daniel's P.O.V

I laugh and grin at Killua after seeing his smile.

Sephestia responds calmly "You wouldn't want Killua to vanish... would you?"

Killua's P.O.V

I smile for some reason, after hearing Daniel call her a skank for a second time.

I like to see her try! She'll wouldn't get two feet in my radius without me landing a killing blow on her.

Daniel's grip tightens around me, responding to her in a calm and deadly attitude "Watch your tongue... or I'll make you wish you were never born. To the point, you'll go back to the past and break up your parents so you could never be born!"

Oh~ dark I like it- I mean, I wanted to threaten her!

Daniel's P.O.V

"Is that a threat Neko?"

"You bet! If you even come 1 kilometre in Killua's radar, you'll be marked for Death! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!"

"I'll keep that in mind... by the way Killua has a cute smile it works with his eyes, although! He won't have that after I'm through with him..."

I get up out of the bed, running to look out the window, seeing if I can spot her "Too late your boy toy will die! I've seen his face and now I'll be able to track, and kill him when you least suspect it."

"Let's see... you're an Emitter and if memory serves me... you use some type of randomiser Nen or a form of Lottery..."

Sephestia stays silent for a few moments.

She speaks calmly, with a hint of questioning to parts of the question "What?"

I grin "So he was right... I'll play your game, next time you won't be lucky!"

"I will look forward to it...!" Sephestia hangs up the call as I turn to Killua slightly.

Killua's P.O.V

My mood shifts, going into killer instinct mode.

I chant 'I'm gonna kill her!' in my own mind, preparing myself to hunt her down, ending her life.

Daniel's head rests his head in my chest, making me look down at him.

I look at him confused as tears stream down his eye "I'm sorry..."

I disable my killer instinct mode. I hold onto him tightly, stroking his hair as I think to myself His such a girl...

Although, seeing him cry like this makes me happy... In a weird way.

Daniel's P.O.V

I whisper again "I'm sorry..."

Killua holds me tightly, stroking my hair "We will defeat her together..."

I frown after hearing him say that "No! I promised I wouldn't get you involved in family feuds!"

He starts to whine at me as I cut him off, standing my ground "No! And that's final!"

Killua's P.O.V

I look at Daniel, frowning after seeing his dangerous eyes.

His about to throw his life away again for me!

I'll stop him this time!...

He needs to know its us and not him only!

I speak up, trying to calm Daniel down "You don't have to do this alone... we-"

"I said drop it!" Daniel looks at me pissed.

That fucken arrogant piece of shit! I don't care how much I love him!

He needs to understand this right fucken now!

I bring up my fist, punching him across the cheek.

Daniel looks at me in shock, looking as though he did nothing wrong at all.

I yell at Daniel pissed "Stop being like this!"

He looks at me confused as I continue to yell "This isn't just you! It's us! We've been together for what? Almost a year and you've done nothing but hold me back!"

I hold back tears, yelling at him more aggressively "If something comes up involving me, you push me away!... You've thrown yourself in danger so many times and for what? A couple of dumbass cousins, trying to get you to go with them..."

I can't stand it anymore, letting tears flow freely "Now when I try to offer help you push me away! I'm beginning to wonder if our relationship is one sided. Sure we both say I love you, and care for each other. But, as soon as you have an issue, you deal with it on your own! But when I have an issue, your all gung ho, ready to jump in and save me like I'm some damsel in distress!"

I look at him sternly, getting my final point across "You act as though... I can't protect myself!"

I hold out my fingers counting the moments "When I went home, when I was captured... TWICE, that dude Yan... and now this. What's next?"

Daniel looks away as I sigh "Why can't you involve me...?"

Daniel turns to face me, looking at me with a expression on his face that tell me to trust him.

"Trust you?... How?! I want to trust you and help you... but all you're doing is pushing me away..." I retort back as he looks away.

I continue "Why? Just why can't you ask for help?"

I push Daniel away, moving to the bed, making it squeak in the process.

Daniel's P.O.V

I walk up to the window, looking out it.

I don't want to lose you.. I'm afraid!

I'm fucken afraid of it... you're strong I know that!...

But I'm just so afraid of losing you...

The one person I happened to run into, and care about... And I'm the one that has put him in danger, more danger than his family can cause...

Alright, granted Gon's done it way more times than me... But, still...

Killua's in danger because of my mistakes! Because I can't get any of them to understand that I want to be with Killua... And none of them...

I turn, looking at Killua on the bed with his back turned to me.

I hold out my hand, making my way over to him.

Before I could even touch Killua, he speaks "Just don't..."

I'm so... Sorry... I'll go kill her...

I know that's against my attitude, and that it's going against my vow. But...

I just don't want Killua in danger because of my mistakes...

I pull my hand away, walking over to the door.

Before I could open the door, Killua speaks up "Don't leave... I know you will do something stupid!"

I turn to Killua, hearing him sigh in frustration "Answer me... why don't you want to involve me?"

I want to tell you... But I'm afraid you'll think I'm weak... and stupid...

I keep quite as Killua sighs "Can you at least tell me why Neko...?"

"Because one morning I woke up not being told that we were going to have guests... I don't usually get dressed straight after waking up. When I walked into the kitchen and turned around, at the time I was half naked, wearing only a shirt and underwear."

Killua looks as though his about to laugh, stopping himself from making any further noises when I continue "All the families members were there, discussing something. I was frozen on the spot when Sephestia called me a Neko. My morning hair was moulded to the point, it looked like I had cat ears. I bolted out of there, dropping the glass, returning later to pretend nothing happened at all..."

Killua starts snickering "Oh..."

I lay on the bed with my back turned to Killua.

I awake later in the night, finding Killua's arm draped around me. Killua buries his face in my chest, holding me tightly in hopes of keeping me pinned to the bed.

I smile, feeling sad on the inside from having a mental block that disallows me to ask for Killua's help.

I fall asleep again, finding later to woken up from someone covering my mouth.

I turn in the direction of my attacker, seeing Sephestia stand there. My eyes widened as her hands move, slowly going to place her hand on Killua.

I grip her arm tightly, glaring at her.

She pulls her arm away pissed as she motions me to follow her.

I nod, moving Killua away, trying not to wake him in the process.

Killua tries to grab onto me again. I move the pillow, making sure he latches onto it instead, snuggling into it.

I sigh in relief as Killua mutters in his sleep "I still love you... Just promise me... you won't do anything rash..."

I frown, kissing Killua on the forehead, turning around to follow Sephestia, thinking I'm sorry but that's a promise I can't keep...

As I leave the room, Sephestia tries to force herself on me, attempting to kiss me.

I grip her face, pushing her away "Try that again and you will die!"

Sephestia pouts "Just leave him! Come home and join the family... The D-"

I interject "The Darkscryer's won't live on, they will die with me! Now take me to the battlefield! So I can bury you, and be done and over with this chapter of my life!"

Sephestia grins at me "You can't defeat me not in this life time!"

I grin back at he, standing on the window still "I'll make you eat your ego and I'll be back before Killua can yell at me!"

I jump out the window, landing on the floor safely.

Sephestia jumps out, landing right beside me, holding out an accompany card.

I look at her as she muses "You would want to be as far from Killua as possible, wouldn't you...?"

I shake my head "No I want to stay close by... just not too close."

Sephestia nods, pissed off at me "Just how much does he mean to you?"

I turn away from her "More than you could ever hope to dream of..."

I run straight into the forest, making sure that she follows me.

I reach a section of the forest that seems to be a great place to fight, forcing myself to skid to a complete stop, turning to Sephestia "Sephestia, I want to make this clear... if I win you are to leave me and Killua alone! And to relay that message to the remaining families... I don't want him to be a part of this mess anymore AND I want out of this family!"

"You want out? Just give me War Ravager, Wolfbane and the Tempest Mask. Then you can be out!" Sephestia grins.

I think for a moment "Sorry, no can do! War Ravager maybe, since it was your brother-in-laws originally. But seeing as he attacked me, aiming to kill the last descendent of the Darkscryers... No can do!"

"Oh that's funny... because one second ago you said you wanted out."

"I also said that the Darkscryers will die with me!" I shake my head holding out my hand "By being here, I'm breaking two promises! Killua's and Vastorie's..."

Sephestia eyes widen after hearing Vastorie's name "What does that dead man have to do with any promise?"

I frown "I made a promised that I wouldn't put myself in harm's way. That means seeking trouble! I'm sure I can bend the rule in order to protect someone... but this... this is personal..."

I point at Sephestia "You called Killua a boy toy! Killua is more than that to me! You can only begin to dream what that's like. So let's settle this score! What's your demand if I lose?"

Sephestia smiles widely, showing a hint of desire in her eyes "If I win you come back with me, seeing what Branita Li-Cartra has been planning for you... Also marriage to me!"

I look at her questionably "What you mean? Not including the marriage... I know what that means..."

"You haven't figured it out... have you?"

"I'm oblivious to people hitting on me, what do you think?"

"Use your head! And put all the pieces together! Why would we, ever want Tempest...?"

SO far what I've learn my harem involves mostly assholes. Nothing new there...

Yan is with Rosabella...

Rosabella's usually is kept to herself, being the oldest in all five families.

However, why would she be with someone half her age...?

Then again... she's never cared about anything, so the age factor doesn't surprise me.

Then again, Sephestia and Branita working together... that's a surprise!

And how did they find out about Tempest? His usually passed down in the Darkscryer's family tree. And what exactly do they want Tempest's power for?...

They can't wield it... only specialist have been able to use it so far... Unless

I look at Sephestia, seeing something dark and sinister behind those eyes "Give up?"

I nod my head in defeat.

Sephestia grins "To free him of course!"
