Pearls~ A Killugon Story

Chapter 3 ~ killua, are you sick?

After school, Gon and Killua crept into Mr. Wing's classroom and began Killuas plan. "Do you hear anyone?" Killua asked, ruffling through Mr. Wing's desk. Gon stood by the door cautiously, acting as Killuas lookout. "Nope!" he said, looking over to Killua, who was flipping through a series of files. 

"Any luck?" Gon asked, watching Killua's concentration. Killua shook his head, "No, I'm looking through the files labeled "tests" but there's no answer keys." Killua muttered, quickening his pace through the large folder. 

Gon walked over to him, and looked at the folders sprawled out on the desk. "Maybe we should look for dates, he might have organized it that way." Gon suggested, getting a closer look at the labels on the folders.

 Suddenly, quiet footsteps were heard outside of the door, and Killua and Gon both looked at each other in horror. Killua grabbed Gon's hand and ran into the supply closet behind them. He closed the door, and Gon and Killua both pressed their backs against the wall.

 Gon let out a shaky breath, and Killua put a finger up to Gon's lips. Gon looked at Killua, and could see the pure desperation shining in his eyes, even though the closet only possessed the smallest amount of light coming from the crack under the door. 

They heard Mr. Wing walk into the room, and let out a loud sigh. "I don't remember my desk being such a mess." Mr. Wing said, his voice far too close for either of the boys comfort. Mr. Wing let out another sigh, "Whys the closet unlocked..." he muttered, his voice coming closer. 

Gon and Killua both tensed up, and Gon grabbed Killua's hand. Killua looked over to Gon, who had one hand grasping his mouth, and the other hand squeezing Killua's hand. Killua gave him a small squeeze back in reassurance, even though Killua was just as worried.

 A lock click could be heard on the closet door, followed by retreating footsteps. "I'll clean up the desk tomorrow..."Mr. Wing muttered, closing the classroom door behind him. 

A few seconds passed, before both boys loudly exhaled. Killua let go of Gon's hand, and shot Gon a nasty look. "You were supposed to watch the door!" he hissed, making Gon wince. "Im sorry Killua! I was trying to help..." he whispered, before staring down at the dark floor. 

"Whatever, let's just get out." Killua muttered, turning the door handle. But to Killua's despair, the door handle wouldn't budge. "Gon..." Killua mumbled. "Yeah?" Gon chirped. "WE'RE LOCKED IN HERE!" he shouted, causing Gon to jump. Gon didn't know what to say, he already caused so much trouble for Killua already. Killua groaned, smacking his head against the door. "Of course." he muttered.

Killua and Gon had spent quite a while in silence. They sat on opposite sides of the closet, that was so cramped their feet were touching. 

Killua sat in thought, and Gon sat watching Killua. Gon watched as the light under the door dimmed out slowly, and realized Aunt Mito was probably getting worried. Then the idea came to him.

"Killua!" he exclaimed, causing Killua to jump a little bit. Killua tilted his head, as Gon pulled out his phone from his pocket. "Can I sit?" Gon asked, pointing to the small space beside Killua. Killua scooted over a bit and nodded. Gon crawled over and sat next to Killua. Their knees and shoulders were touching, but they didn't mind. 

Gon began to type on his phone and Killua watched curiously. "Kurapika gave me his number today! I can ask him to help us." Gon said cheerfully. "Kurapika? Oh the blonde guy." Killua muttered, honestly a little sad Gon already made another friend. 

Gon nodded, and then pressed the send button to the message that read, 'Hi Kurapika its Gon! Killua and I got locked in Mr. Wing's closet... Can you help us out!?' Killua read the message highlighted in blue, as a typing bubble appeared from Kurapikas side. 'What? I'm not even gonna ask. The schools locked until 6am, but I can come then and try to get you guys out.' Kurapika answered, making Gon's face light up. 'Thank you!!!!!!!'
