My Knight. Killua x Gon. Prince and knight AU.

A Faint Princess

"Are you sure you guys are okay?" Zushi asked the five of them.

Kurapika looked over to Leorio and then quickly studied the kids faces. "I think we're all good. Thank you." Kurapika answered.

Killua looked down at Alluka. Her face looked pale as if she was worn out. "Are you okay?" Killua whispered.

Alluka looked up at Killua with wavering eyes, but she gave him a faint smile. "I kept it under control." She replied proudly.

Killua's heart swelled as he supported more of her weight by grabbing her shoulders.

"Wow! How did you do that?" Gon exclaimed loudly.

Zushi smiled to himself. "That, was nen." He explained.

"Nen?" Gon asked.

"Nen." Killua whispered to himself. The word felt familiar even though he had no idea what it meant. Distant memories of his father and brother's voice started to drift around him with no real shape to them.

"Nen. Wing-Sensei taught me everything I know." Zushi explained.

"Sensei?" All of them asked.

"I'm sure he would love to meet you guys. I can bring you too him." Zushi offered.

"Can he teach me to do that too?" Gon asked bouncing on his toes.

"That depends on you, but Wing is the best Sensei there is!" Zushi replied.

Gon's face lit up with pure excitement.

"We don't know if we can trust this Wing guy." Leorio whispered to Kurapika.

Kurapika nodded. "Look I'm not sure if we'll have time for all that." Kurapika added.

"What?" Gon asked sadly.

"It's best for us to stay on the move." Leorio answered.

Suddenly the weight in Killua's arms started to get heavier and heavier. He looked over and Alluka was slowly losing consciousness. "Alluka!" Killua cried. Her eyes shut and she suddenly became dead weight in his hands. Kurapika and Leorio rushed to her side. Leorio quickly checked for a pulls and a heart beat.

"She's still breathing, but she seems like she's severely exhausted." Leorio explained.

Killua hugged Alluka close as if trying to transfer her pain into him. Gon held Killua's shoulder tightly in comfort.

"She needs rest. Gentle herbs will help her regain her strength as well." Leorio added. He felt her forehead. "She's burning up. We need to get her some more breathable clothes as well."

"Wing-Sensei has many herbs that we can use. His house also has cold running water. Please let me take you guys to him!" Zushi pleaded.

Kurapika glanced over to Leorio. "I don't think the kid is trying to hurt us. It's better for her to be inside when she's like this than out in the elements." Leorio told Kurapika quietly.

Kurapika nodded in understanding. "Okay. Please take us." He asked.

Zushi gave a faint smile and then startled to quickly walk behind the houses.
