The loudest of shrieks rang out through the Sky Arena Hotel building. It echoed down the hall, finally resting on distracted ears.

Aedi stopped momentarily from completely pounding the life out of a certain green-suited boy to look up questioningly around him. "Sore....nani?" His fist was still held poised and pulled back in the air.

Gon peeked out through one clenched eyelid. "Maybe.......a sign not to kill me?"

Still hearing his fellow Shinobi friend bellowing in the background, Aedi turned his attention back to the topic at hand *cough* fist. "Gomen," he grinned insanely again, a glint twinkling darkly in his eyes. "I dont take kindly to implications. They're gonna hafta be more straightforward than that." Tightening his fists, he stared down gleefully at Gon again. "Lets have some fun, ne?"

Gon closed his eyes.

Elsewhere, the shriek rebounded right back into the hotel's lobby, falling upon deaf ears.

At the moment, Killua's hands were full with a visible shaking and frightened woman.~.~ Literally.

"WHADDYA MEAN THERE ARE NO MORE ROOMS, HUH????!!!! K'SO, I NEED A ROOM WITH TWO BEDS, DAMMIT! ORE WA OMAE O KOROSU!!!! GIMME A ROOM! GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!!" From within a silver-haired boy's clutches, one of the terrible frightened ladies was shaken back and forth, eyes rolling back in her head as she tried to breathe.

Killua was perched, crouching, on the smooth, mahogany desk, his soon-2-be claws wrapped dangerously around her throat.

The other, a taller but more weakly built lady, cried out loudly for him to stop.

"YAMETE! It's not our fault people rent out certain rooms! We only had four rooms with two beds in them. Its NOT our FAULT!!!!"

Killua turned on her, glaring and super deformed, eyes beady and nose puckered. "Then give me one of them and I'll run out the people in it! I CANT have SEPERATE rooms!"

"YADA!" The lady screamed, looking slightly braver when she realized the boy assassin was actually listening to reason. "They are VERY extinguished guests and had reservations before the summer. Thats OUT of the QUESTION!!!!"

"NANI?!!!" Killua strangled the other lady tighter.

Other lady: @.@ *shakeshakeshake*

"YAMERO! STOP IT! We only have ONE more room! Its not our fault!!!!"

Killua stopped, turning to the lady again. "What did you say? You have a room?"

The lady looked uncertain for a while. "Hai, demo.....it might not be to your liking......."

"Why........." a voice gasped from down below. Killua looked down at the lady he had within his grasp. "Why....*cough* c-.... b-breeeeathe......."

"Oops," Killua stood up slowly, still on the desk and looked down at the other frazzled woman.

"Why.......don't you just push one of the beds in the other room. You dont need to change the whole room *wheeze*."

Killua crossed his arms across his chest, glaring. "Iie," he protested, slightly coloring to the utter disbelief of both ladies. At first, they thought they both would be surely KILLED by the Zoldikk assassin, but NOW looking upon him, he seemed like a rather uncomfortable and lightly blushing child. Such youth within a killer was unbelievable to comprehend by both women.

"Iie," Killua repeated again. "I....I......" He huffed, turning around and hastily spilling out his reasons. "I need to make it look like it wasnt my decision. Make it look like YOU guys had wanted it........." He hugged himself tighter.

Both women looked at each other, confused. "Demo, naze?"

"Cause I just DO, alright!" Killua yelled while turning back to face them. "Whats this about another room?! Give it to me!"

The taller of the ladies carefully edged her way around the angry boy and grabbed her purse, openeing it and taking out a crucifix necklace.

Killua sweatdropped. "Im not a demon......."

"I know that, gaki!" It was her turn to glare. She slipped it around her neck and kissed it.

This place will be the DEATH of me.........

She looked to the ceiling and said a quick prayer. "That room will DEFINATELY not be to your liking.......It has a loveseat-."

Killua: O.O *blush*

"Here's what we can do..."

Killua listened closely.

After awhile, it was decided upon.

The shorter lady cleared her throat. "Pi-pi-," she rubbed her sore neck muscles. "We can give you a pillow to make it more comfortable. Sorry about there being no more wheely beds or cots......"

Killua shrugged, jumping off the large desk and landing stealthily.

As long as I'm with Gon...........

"This better be SOME pillow," he muttered, crossing his arms.

The ladies caught this. "Daijobu, its fairly large.......and pink."

Killua: O.o

"HUUUUUUUH???!!!!"

One of the women grinned, whipping the big pillow out of nowhere. Did I mention it was pink? ^^

"Uuuuuhhh," Killua gaped at the pink thing held out in front of him, then grimaced.

After a while...........

"Che', fine....." He grabbed it, tucking the large thing under his arm. It was almost the size of him, but not really puffy. It was gonna be tough, he decided.

The ladies blinked uncertainly. "So........this is acceptable?" They trembled in fear.

Kllua: ~.~ "Haaaaaaai."

He sighed and turned around. "By the way......" He smiled at the shorter lady. "I hope you dont take it too personally that I tried to kill you and all.. I do that all the time. *V*" He walked out, smirking as he heard the frailer lady fall to the carpeted floor in a dead faint.

As he walked back down the hallways, he thought over the plan the ladies were supposed to carry out. He hoped it worked soon, or he would have to stall Gon a little while......Then again, Gon seemed so clueless about the simplest things.....Maybe.....

Killua shrugged, retightening his hold on the ugliest pillow in the world.

Being with Gon was the best thing that could happen to him, but.......T-T why at such an UGLY price???? Killua continued plowing through his thoughts, not even realizing at first the loud shouts coming from the hallway ahead of him.

He picked up his pace when he heard the severity of all the screaming. It sounded like a REALLY good fight and he wanted to watch it, but.......he still needed to get back to Gon.....

However..........His breath caught in his throat as he saw WHO was the target for all the screaming, WHO was, at the moment, being hoisted in the air by two clenched fists, and just WHO was gonna get the hardest pounding of his life.

"Gon....."

Gon prepared for the punch and the many to follow. He turned his head, since Aedi was taking his sweet time about it and instead stared at the wall to the right of him. He felt the fist clench tighter around his collar, and out of the corner of his eye, Aedi's gaze became that of a fury-driven animal, a Shinobi on the rampage to put it bluntly. Sweat started to form under his armpits as he kept his own grip on his attacker's fist.

Never looking back into those bloodthirsty eyes, he continued to wait, already stupidly accepting a punishment he wasnt guilty of.

After an agonizing wait, he almost let out a breath, again wondering what was taking the older man such a long time, but sucked in a breath again as he found himself falling backwards with a yelping Aedi.

Gon looked up to see a BIG, PINK PILLOW smacked against the side of the Shinobi's head and a pale, clawed hand grasping the man's throat.

Aedi lost his grip on Gon as the hand around his throat tightened, the sharp-as-knives nails digging into his bare flesh, piercing the skin and drawing streaks of oozing blood.

"I'd let him go if I were you.......," a calm yet deadly voice called out, squeezing the flesh again, blood flowing more quickly.

Aedi gurgled, his eyes growing large, still gazing at Gon.

Gon took that opportunity to wrench his clothing free from the man's grasp and stumble to his feet. He had pretty much figured who was standing just beyond Aedi, but he felt a need to see anyways.

"Killua!"

Killua turned, his cool gaze resting on his best friend. For a second, the cold look was gone, and Gon couldve sworn he saw a little bit of ..........fear? flicker somewhere deep. It disappeared the instant his brain took notice.

Killua turned away, his stone mask in place, and lifted Aedi to his feet by his throat.

As Aedi felt himself being slowly lifted, he was instantly thrown up against the hallway's wall, his neck crushed to the plaster of the white surface.

His eyes grew wider as he saw the murderous look in the silver-haired boy's eyes, and the utter detachment of human emotion in their midst.

Basically, Aedi-chan was a goner ^_^

Killua's glare almost seemed to sizing the Shinobi up, his eyes traveling from the man's hands all the way up to his eyes.

"Omae....You tried to kill Gon....."

Both the hovering Banta and the nervous Gon noticed the boy's eerie calmness. His words expressed almost no emotion and his looks bordered on a dangerous curiosity for the person within his clutches.

Aedi realized a LONG time ago he was badly frightened of the boy, but now he also found out that.........the boy was almost inhumanly cold and calm. His world almost EXPLODED with what happened next.

The boy.....smiled?

Killua gripped tighter, noticing with a gleeful satisfaction that the Shinobi's eyes seemed to almost pop out of their sockets. Blood seeped thinly from his nostrils, indicting fear was washing throughout his whole body and was being fought by it. The blood was being dispelled after leaking from popped blood vessels. Aedi felt nausea gather inside him, a metallic taste came about, implying he had bitten his tongue. Nothing mattered though. Only.....those pale, veiny claws around his jugular, slowly squeezing the life out of him.

Gon watched all this with a panicked look.

He's lost himself, he noticed. The real Killua I know is gone, and in his place.....

Killua smiled again. "You tried to kill......something of mine. You. Tried. To. Kill. Gon."

.........is the assassin he's rumored to still be.

Killua brought his face closer, smirking as Aedi's eyes bulged and shook The Shinobi fixed his attention on the boy's deadly eyes. No longer were they the navy blue that he had noticed in the beginning; they seemed to become as black as death, bottomless holes only the dead would see. They almost covered his entire eyes, the boy's mere stare a killer in itself.

THIS is the power of the Zoldikk........, he thought, petrified beyond belief already.

Killua smiled cunningly as he switched hands, his left hand now gripping the frightened man's neck, and his right, clawed hand straightening for a deadly blow.

"You're gonna die now. Owari da."[1]

Gon found his hypnotized gaze blocked by the lumbering form of Aedi's friend, Banta. The fellow Shinobi looked a little calm for the situation also.

"I know you can stop him. Only you. He seems to have lost his humanity." He sighed, almost looking smaller than what he was. "I am sorry for what my friend was about to do to you," he murmured in a regretful voice. "And Im sorry for not trying to stop him. But this," he cocked his head to the side, motioning to what was happening behind him. "This is wrong. My friend was acting out of grief-yours is acting out of bloodlust. He thinks he's protecting you now, but in the end, this will only bring about more blood and trouble." He turned his solemn eyes to Gon again. "Please.......stop this now."

Gon looked back at Killua. "H-How..........?" He nodded after a second. "Un, I'll try my best......." He stepped forward.

Just as Killua slashed his claw through the air towards the frightened man's throat, a green blur dashed through the air, and Killua found himself staring into the solemn but kind, deep chocolate brown eyes of his best friend.

His claw aimed at his throat.

Killua launched back with a gasp, his hand transformed back to normal. He stood panting against the far wall, eyes glazed over but still looking at Gon.

Gon stepped towards him, not noticing the quiet thump of Aedi's trembling body hitting the carpet in a shocked heap.

Gon made his way slowly towards his best friend, feeling like a person confronting a frightened animal.

Killua seemed to be in shock, holding his right hand close to his chest, his gaze unfocused. He stood rigid, not reacting as Gon came closer.

"Daijobu yo, Killua," he murmured, placing his hand on Killua's shoulder.

With a sigh, he noticed his friend didnt react. He did the only thing he could think of.

Well aware of the danger but trusting the budding strong friendship he had with the ex assassin, he walked forward and embraced his friend, wrapping his thin arms around the other boy up against the wall and leaning his head against the latter's shoulder. He breathed deeply, and spoke in a hushed tone. "It's alright now, Killua. You did nothing wrong. You were trying to protect me and you did. Arigato, Killua......." He looked up, hoping for a little reaction. He smiled happily at what he saw.

Killua was blinking rapidly, his eyes gazing directly into his. He blinked some more before trying to speak. "........G-Gon.....Daijobu?"

Gon smiled and turned away, hugging his best friend happily. "Un, thanks for protecting me, Killua!" He sighed with delight as he felt his friend hug back.

Suddenly, he was thrown forcibly back, already missing the comfort from the other boy.

Gon saw Killua wrap his arms around himself, anger and fear slowly reigning and swirling in his eyes.

"Naze? Naze??!! Why did you get in my way, Gon?! I could have...," he clutched himself harder, horror showing now. "I could have....k-"

"No!" Gon yelled out, flinging himself into Killua's reluctant embrace again.

"You would never hurt me, Killua, and you know that!"

"But I almost-"

Gon interrupted fiercely, staring up into his best friend's eyes now. "Tell me...," he breathed deeply, starting again. "Tell me.......what are you thinking as Im here now? As Im this close to you?"

Killua's eyes widened.

Gon smiled. "Are any of those thoughts about hurting me?" He saw Killua look away. "Ne, ne, are they?"

Killua turned back, looking deep into Gon's eyes again. He slowly but surely shook his head.

Gon grinned. "Problem solved!" he sang out, glomping onto his best friend once again.

Killua stood shocked, thats all I can say. He looked down at the person embracing him.

The strongest surge of warmth he thought impossible surged through him, almost causing his heart to thump right out of his chest.

He held his breath-he just knew Gon would be able to hear it. It seemed the walls were actually vibrating because of the repetitive beating. He looked down, still holding his breath.

Gon: ^_^ *glomps tighter*

Killua smiled, finally relaxing, and hugged his friend wholeheartedly back.

"M-Matte.......!" a gasping voice interrupted the moment. They both turned to see a weary and pale Aedi rise to his trembling feet. Banta was trying to help him up, but the latter kept brushing him off with a grunt. "Matte!! I know.......," his eyes grew rounder. "I know you killed him. Josei-san........you killed him! Just because you stopped from killing me doesnt prove anything. You killed my friend and I wont forgive this." He stood up straight and confidant. "ZETTAI NI, URUSANAI!!!!"

His eyes drooped and he wavered.......after a minute collapsing against the wall.

"Aedi!" Banta ran over to help him up.

Killua patted Gon to the side and walked slowly but with purpose towards the pale Shinobi. Banta stood in front of his friend protectively, at first, but not seeing the bloodthirsty look in Killua's eyes anymore, stepped aside and made leeway for the ex assassin.

Aedi gazed up in fear, his brows wavering. He seemed about to fall asleep any minute.

Killua looked at him solemnly. "I didn't kill your friend, but I came close to killing you. Without facts, your assumptions arent important. Be careful of who you accuse next time." With that said, he turned away, looking back at Gon. "Can we go now?"

Gon nodded, looking uncertainly at the Shinobi-tachi. As they began to walk away, a very soft low voice stopped them.

"Iie......Iie.......How could........how could he......???!"

Gon turned back to see Aedi slide to the floor, a look of defeat and disbelief on his face. The man's features trembled and tears finally overflowed, leaving behind trails of clear silver. Banta was at once by his side, soothing and comforting the distraught guy, but it didnt work.

"He was......he was.......I was the only one that could make him l-laugh, .......you know, banta?" He stared at the floor, almost cowering. Cowering away from reality.

"I know, I know," Banta hushed, moving close enough to slip his arms around the smaller man and hugging him close. "We all know you will take this the hardest and we will be with you no matter what, Aedi-chan....."

"He was like my brother.........but..but...." Aedi stuttered, his voice quieting.

Gon just couldnt look away from the slightly rocking man. It was almost too horrible to see someone endure all that pain. He sighed in sadness.

As Gon was about to turn away from the tear-jerking scene, a spot of black caught his eye. He looked up and down the opposite hall, focusing on a certain figure leaning lazily against the wall.

Ano aitsu........

That man......The same one from before.........

The man, finally noticing he was being watched, looked over and grinned almost TOO cheerfully, giving a little sarcastic and arrogant wave.

The worst feeling rushed through Gon at that moment. He.........He didnt like that man. Something was just....wrong with him.

He watched as the man straightened and stretched his arms, giving an eerie smile.

Yep, definitely dont like that guy..........

Gon grew defiant, turning away before the man gave his leave. He could almost feel the man's anger at this, and shivered slightly.

"Gon, daijobu ka?"

Gon looked up to see his best friend right in front of him, looking down at him in concern. Gon gave his best carefree smile.

"Un! Daijobu, Killua.......I guess Im just getting sleepy........"

Killua smiled and took his arm, feeling slightly awkward but loving the way the rush of warmth was still rushing through his body. "Ja, cmon, lets go. Our rooms should be a few hallways over." He turned, practically dragging Gon away with him.

This feeling, Gon thought, still distracted.This is worse than that time in the woods tracking Hisoka. This feeling of POWER.....it makes Hisoka seem so tiny and weak....

Gon continued to be lost in thought as he was slowly lead down the hallway, leaving the creepiest of men and the saddest of scenes in his wake.

Gon had almost completely forgot about the mysterious figure as they were walking down the last of hallways. Killua seemed to be unusually quiet.

He looked almost.......nervous.

"Killua, whats wrong?" He peered closely at the side of his best friend's face.

"Betsuni," Killua shrugged. "I guess Im just tired, too......."

He ignored the inquiring look. He was so glad he didnt stammer or stutter, that being his many problems lately. It was hard.........being under Gon's intense gaze.....

The said boy smiled suddenly and held out his hand. "Let me separate the keys, then, ok? We'll be there soon, ne? Did you find the front desk? The wake-up time is before nine, right?"

Killua threw the keys to him, nodding his head. "The ladies at that place we weird, but the wake-up time is what you said."

Gon: ^_^; *sweatdrop* Weird........??

"Ne, Gon.....what was that all about back there? I sort of realized they were both with that other guy that wanted to fight me earlier, but.......he's dead?"

Gon's eyes widened. "Oh yeah! I forgot to give my sympathies!" He instantly turned back, but was grabbed by his best friend, who was sweatdropping profusely.

"Right now......I dont think either of them would like that........." ~.~

Gon sighed, nodding. "Well......that smaller man said something about how it was impossible for their comrade to get killed so easily, and I remember the other guy saying something about the police taking care of it-Ara???? Whats.....*sweat drop* whats with the pink pillow, Killua??!!"

Killua: O.O#44

"Errrrrr..... well I.....Yoshi! Here's our rooms!"

All the way down the hallway were two doors side-by-side. Gon noticed signs on both of them. He read the closest one first. "This room is reserved for Freeces san: Non Smoking." He read the sign on the other door. "This sign is reserved for Zoldikk sama-Non Smoking with hot tub (PLEASE DONT KILL US)" He sighed again, but saw another note circled in red a little ways below. "Gomen nasai, this room was taken pre-ahead of time. We are sorry for this inconvenience. NO MORE ROOMS ARE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. Please make other arrangements and thank you. (P.S.-PLEASE DONT KILL US)" Gon sweatdropped again.

He saw Killua groan and lean his back against his door. "Well, I guess I can crash with you then, ne, Gon?" He tried to keep his voice light and natural sounding.

Gon smiled. "Mochiron!" He didnt bother pulling the keys apart from on the ring; he tried both keys into his door's lock. The second one opened it. He swung the door open with a flourish and grinned at Killua. "After you, `Zoldikk sama'!"

Killua popped him over the head as he walked in. "Baaaaaaka," he muttered roughly.

Gn gasped as he saw the room. This was only the first floor for the hotel but the view out the large bay windows was spectacular! You could practically see the whole city, even if you werent up high enough. It was truly.......

""Sugooooiiii!!!!" Gon breathed, instantly running to the windows. He and Killua grinned at each other. All the bright lights from the city sparkled in front of them.

The sight was immensely beautiful.

Gon grinned in almost unpainted glee as he surveyed the rest of the room. The walls were a dark white but not dirty.....just like a rustic pale brown, the room had ALOT of free space, a mini fridge sat on the desk in the corner, a big screen TV was off to the side of them, and the double-sized bed was nestled safely up against the wall on the right of them.

"Sugoi.....!" he breathed again in wonder. These were splendors according to him-he figured, though, since Killua owned a whole MOUNTAIN, that he wouldnt see all of this as that great.

He looked over, wanting to glimpse his best friend's reaction when e noticed Killua was fluffing up his PINK pillow and gently placing it on the floor next to the bed. "Nanda, Killua?"

Killua didnt look up, his silver-violet strands covering his expression.......and yet again, a blush.

"Daijobu, Gon. You can have the bed and I'll sleep down here next to you."

"Demo......Im not that big, we can share the bed if you want....."

Killua's pulse ran as he shielded his face from view. Sure, he had shared a room with Gon before, but at that time, his feelings were never greatly bothering him. At that time, he ONLY thought about being close to the dark-haired boy. But NOW things were slightly different. Killua was not in control of his own heart and knew it would kill him to be so close to something he almost wished he had.

Id ..........heard about feelings like these........I thought people were stupid for letting such emotions control their lives, but......NOW......Chigai......I cant be feeling that word.......I just cant........

The ex assassin shook his head.

"Why not?" came a puzzled question. Gon figured he was shaking his head at him.

"Err.....I mean.....Im used to sleeping like this. Besides......I hog the covers when I sleep." He flashed a grin at Gon and plopped himself down on his......PINK pillow. He threw his towel to the side along with his bacpack and undid his boots.

Gon started to do the same, but then jumped on the bed, squeeling crazily as he bounced a couple of times.

Killua smiled and finished dressing down. Grabbing a blanket laid out over one of the couches (courtesy of the lady he had almost previously STRANGLED), he straightened it out and put it around himself while plpping down onto the floor.

Gon unmade the bed, climbing in, his dark blue and completely dry tank top the only thing showing.

Killua placed his arms behind his head and sighed.

Gon suddenly leaned down. "Are you having fun here with me, Killua? Are you glad you came?"

Killua started, looking over and up. "Nani? What are you talking about?"

Gon leaned down further and smiled a little. "I just want you to have fun with me is all. I dont like having others bored when theyre with me......."

Killua closed his eyes, thinking deeply on what he should say. "I-....Im never bored with you, Gon......."

Gon beamed happily.

".....As long as Im with you, my life couldnt get better." He added in a shrug for effect. "Dont worry about it. I wouldnt be here if I was bored.......even though this place IS boring...."

Gon sweatdropped and laughed nervously. "Gomen....."

"Nanda?"

"Im sorry for not being as strong as you...." He grimaced. "If I was stronger, this would be more enjoyable to you."

Killua gazed up at him then gave a little but TRUE smile. "Im having fun, Gon, daijobu.......Its just....I got worried for your butt two times in a row. Its kinda pissing me off right now."

"GAAAAH!!" Gon facefaulted. Killua grinned wildly.

"Oi, OI!!"

Gon picked himself back up. "Mo......ichido, gomen nasai, Killua." He reached over to the lamp that was the only thing casting off pale light within the room and switched it off.

Killua smiled, closing his eyes. "Oyasumi, ........Gon"

He waited for an answer. None came. Just as he was about to repeat himself, he heard the bed creak and a soft pad of feet hitting the floor next to him.

Turning slightly and peering into the dark, his eyes grew used to the darkness ad he saw the other boy slowly sliding down from off the bed.

"Oi, Gon, what are you doing?"

Gon turned and smiled, stepping over his friend and placing his pillow next to the other boy's.

"I wouldnt be able to sleep knowing you were down here by yourself!"

Killua was shocked yet again. Gon always seemed to catch him by surprise.

To Killua's eyes, Gon had basically given up his own comfort just to be sleeping next to him. It was another act of complete kindness and affection he didnt know what to do with.

So.....

"Baaaaaaaaka," he huffed, turning away from his best friend slighlt. He gave a shrug, ignoring the pounding throughout his entire being. "Do whatever you want........"

Gon grinned, nestling his head next to Killua's pale hair. "Hai! *^_^* Oyasumi, Killua."

"*grumblegrumblegrumble*"

Great, just GREAT. Killua figured he's never fall asleep now, but as the minutes ticked by, shallow breathing was heard from behind him, and a warmth was felt , he found himself slowly being lulled. Just before he was completely pulled into the dreamworld, he turned back around.

Gazing at Gon's peaceful, sleep-filled face, he brought his hand up slightly and traced a line down his best friend's cheek.

His eyes drooping slightly and a rare, true smile flitting across his features, Killua let his defenses go and became one with the calming darkness before him.

That night, two boys slept cuddled next to each other, peaceful and content, two men cried themselves to sleep, mourning their fallen friend, ALOT of people rested aching wounds and muscles, and........one person was wide awake, sitting calmly on his bed and smiling with a feral expression, twirling a blade of silver slowly in his hands.
