Sweet (KNY X HxH)

Gon glanced over at Zenitsu, who had come outside. Tanjiro was nowhere to be seen for some reason, and one of his rabbits were gone. "Killua's not fazed by a dead body, but a dead animal grosses him out" Killua made an angry noise. "I did not say that! When you touch a dead body, it's to inspect for items and shit. Not to fucking throw at people. Take your damn rabbit!" he got smacked in the face with it and fell over. "ow" he sat up, rubbing his head. "why don't you have an issue with dead animals" Killua grumbled. He giggled, "I'm a demon, also I catch my own food all the time" he drained the rabbit completely dry and started to pick up more. Killua helped him carry and when they went inside,  Zenitsu was hiding behind Tanjiro again. "oh dear god, what is it this time" Killua sighed. "so, Zenitsu said you were talking about dead bodies"

He giggled. "Killua's more freaked out by a dead rabbit than a-" Killua shushed him. "shut up! I'm tired of your bullshit!" he wagged his tail some and beamed at Killua, which made him pause and huff. "damn your adorable face" he muttered. Gon felt himself blush slightly. "Killua thinks I'm cute!" he sputtered. "absolutely not" he turned and stormed into Nezuko and Gon's room. "he totally called me cute" Gon gave Tanjiro a smile as he followed him. When he got in the room, Nezuko was petting Killua and for some reason he felt mad. That's my Killua! He dropped the animals he had and flopped on the side of the bed. Killua chuckled and ruffled his hair, which made his tail thump. "so, I'm gonna be gone for a week" Gon pouted. "but-" Killua shushed him. "I need to take this exam to get my own weapon and a dagger for you too." he nodded. "ok" Killua gave him one last smile. "I have to go tonight, so I'll be back in 7 days ok?"

When Killua left it was boring. He had to keep his muzzle on all the time except when he ate so he couldn't really speak either. He slept most of the day and went out at night, killing things and bringing them back. At one point he stopped hunting and just went out to explore, there was more than 20 dead animals in his room and he didn't need any more. I wonder what Killua's doing...

"FUCK YOU!" he shouted, dodging an attack and slicing the demon's head off. The thing had managed to get a hit on him. Those things are almost as fast as I am, maybe I should have learned more of Tanjiro's techniques. His breathing form was an offshoot of thunder breathing, called lightning breathing. It was pretty much the same thing but blue. The first form just coated the blade with electricity as he slashed it, he also knew how to use a sword because his family had trained him with all weapons. He probably should have trained for a few more months be he wanted to get his weapons as soon as he could so he could defend himself easier. And also get Gon a dagger, I don't like him having nothing to defend himself with. Killua caught a flying dagger and sliced the demon's head off with ease. He didn't need to even look that time. "you in the fox mask" he glanced up into a tree to see an older looking male with long brown hair and amber eyes looking down at him.

He activated En before leaping up into the tree next to him. "need something?" it was getting kind of boring up here, he had been in this wisteria surrounded area for 4 days. "you look a bit young to be here" he huffed. "I'm like, 13 and a half" his eyes widened in shock. "I thought the age limit was 16?" he shrugged. "that may be the age most people join at, but there's no age limit for trauma" he nodded. "guess so, my name's Tage by the way" he sighed. "Killua, now I'm kind of bored. How about we stick together?" he shrugged. "sure why not, I brought some cards if you keep a sharp eye out" he grinned. "game on" he and Tage played cards for about 25 minutes when he felt a demon enter their vicinity. Without looking he whipped one of his yoyos out and sheared off a limb. "FUCK OFF BITCH" the demon hissed in pain for a moment, then ran away. He turned back and cleared his throat. "ahem. Three fives" Tage just blinked at him for a few seconds. "that was quick"

He grinned, "these things weigh about 40 KGs, their made of a superalloy metal that packs twice the punch" he slipped it back into his pocket and put his hands behind his head. "now Tage, I said three fives" he chuckled . "you're really into this card game aren't you Killua" he huffed. "there's nothing else to do out here" Killua had hauled some adhesive and a flat platform into the tree, sticking it to the top as a table of sorts. "what the hell are you two doing?" a girl said below them, half panicked. "playing cards" he said. Tage smirked and lay a few cards down. "five sixes" the girl scoffed and pointed out to the forest. "there's man eating demons out here!" he shrugged, "so? I'm alert" Killua set down some more cards. "eight sevens" Tage growled. "Damn it" he picked up all the cards in the middle. Through his En, he noticed a demon sneaking up behind the girl.

Killua sighed. "you might wanna duck princess" he then swung another yoyo wide, the girl ducked and he wrapped the demon who was sneaking up on them. It snarled and he tightened the strings slightly, making it howl in pain. "shut up, I'm winning" while holding the furious demon, he set some more cards down. "two threes" the girl was gaping but Tage shrugged and put some down. "four threes" he grinned. "five fours, out bitch!" Tage growled. "how are you so good?" he chuckled. "I'll never tell" he slid down the tree to the writhing demon and sliced it's head off cleanly. He slid a yoyo into his pocket and leapt back up onto the tree. "I can't believe you two" she muttered, before walking off. They played for about an hour when he started to get bored.

"I have a question" Tage looked up. "hm?" he crossed his legs and put his hands behind his head. "not to pry but, how did you find out about demons?" Tage sighed, "parents got eaten" he shrugged. "least you had good parents" Killua looked up at the sky for a few moments. "what about you?" he settled back onto his branch. "best friend got turned a few months ago" Tage blinked in surprise. "how'd you manage your level of power in months?" he shook his head. "I was training before that, started at about three" Killua blushed a little. "met him at twelve" he let the happy memories of the hunters exam wash over him. Those were good times. "never asked how old you were" Tage sighed. "I'm 18, started training three and a half years ago" there was silence for a few moments. "so, got anything to go back to after this?" Tage shook his head. "I kind of wander, decided to take the exam so I could get my own katana" he smiled. "I'm not from here, living with a few people on a mountain for now" he glanced over at Tage, "you could come back with me if you want, the mountain's pretty nice" he shrugged. "maybe"

For the next three days they stuck together, Killua actually started to like the guy a little. Tage had flame breathing, which was pretty cool to be honest. When final selection was done, they were the first one's up the mountain. Actually, they were the only two by the end. "really? Just us?" he put his hands behind his head. "I kind of feel bad that everybody died, that was at least 50 people." Killua shrugged. "was only 34, I counted" there was a whole talk about uniforms and shit, but then the creepy girls clapped and there was cawing. He looked up to see that two birds were flying towards them. Tage's was a deep navy and his was more of a midnight black. The crow had a rippling scar along it's back. There was a long explanation about the crows when they were presented with about 30 chunks of rock. "this is the ore for your katanas, please choose wisely"

He chose a rock that was slightly bigger than the others. "may I get three small personalized weapons?" one of the creepy children nodded. "as long as your ore is enough to forge them all with" he nodded. "I want this one" Tage picked the one next to it. "I'll take that one" they had to collect their uniforms and stuff and then they started to walk home. "so, who are these people you live with?" Killua smiled a little. "well, the owner of the house is Tanjiro, a lot of times Zenitsu comes over because he doesn't really have a place to go" he frowned slightly. "Insouke usually comes back once in a while from whatever the hell he usually does" Tage gave him a curious look. "you don't seem to like his very much" Killua chuckled. "you'll probably get why when you meet him" Killua decided to refrain from mentioning Gon yet, if Tage reacted badly when they met then he would leave him behind.

It was starting to get dark as they neared the cabin. "this is it?" Tage said, glancing around the clearing. "yep" he was about to take a step forward when the door banged open. "MHH!" Gon came barreling out and slammed into him, knocking him over. "Damn it Gon" his tail was thumping and he was hugging him tightly. "get off me baka" Gon let him up and grabbed his hand, then tugged him in the direction of the house. He glanced over his shoulder. "coming?" he nodded and walked in the door, seemingly cautious. As soon as the door shut Gon took off his bamboo. "Killua! I missed you!" he giggled. "how many demons did you kill? Where's the Nichirin weapons? Who's that?" he smiled. "I got five, their being forged, and this is Tage" he gestured to his new companion. "he's got nowhere to go so I kind of offered to let him stay here for a few days" he ruffled Gon's hair. "wait, he's a demon?"
