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

The Secrets Inside the Mind

Killua's mind started to race as he started to think of a fake reason why he would be with the knights with no one else but his sister. "I was sent away with them so we could get away from the phantom troupe. The rumor about them kidnapping me was spread so the spiders wouldn't realize it was planned." Killua lied.

Wing glanced at Killua, then Gon, then Kurapika and Leorio. He studied how each of their expressions changed with this sudden explanation. "Really?" He asked.

"Wow you're a prince?" Zushi yelled surprised.

Killua couldn't help but blush.

"Well. I do believe that something is up with the phantom troupe, I do know that you are lying." Wing replied.

Killua turned to look at Gon desperate for answers to what he should do. Gon gave him a dumbfounded look that mimicked his own confusion. Kurapika and Leorio's faces both whitened slightly as they glanced at each other.

"But I'm not going to press you any further. All I need to know is that you aren't going to hurt me or my pupil." Wing added.

A shocked silence covered the room as everyone was trying to figure out how to respond to Wing's sudden comment.

"If anything happens you know where to find me." Wing told Zushi as he walked up the stairs back to his room.

Killua let out a sigh of relief as Gon came over and rested his hand on Killua's shoulder comforting him. Killua held his hand in return and walked over to Alluka who was still sleeping. He brushed her thick black hair out of her face as worry started to set in.

"Should I have left her in her garden? Killua asked.

"Are you crazy?" Gon asked.

Killua turned to face him with a start.

"She was thrilled to be able to go out into the real world, especially with you. You were the only thing she had in that garden, if you had left without her than she would have felt like her life was meaningless." Gon replied.

Killua glanced from Gon to Alluka and knew that he was right, but he couldn't help but blame himself.

"Where did Wing go?" Kurapika asked Zushi.

"He went up to his office. He's been studying up there a lot lately." Zushi explained.

Everyone's eyes wondered up the stairs. "What has he been studying?" Leorio asked.

"I'm not sure, definitely something about nen though." Zushi answered.

"What's nen?" Gon asked.

Killua turned away from Alluka eager to hear the explanation.

"Nen is a type of power where you can manipulate your energy to fight!" Zushi explained.

Killua's eyes widened with confusion. "What?" He asked.

"It's different for every person." Zushi added.

"Yes but how does it work?" Kurapika asked.

"Umm..." Zushi started to get uncomfortable and nervous. "I'm not quite sure honestly." He admitted.
