New Fangs (KNY X HxH)

He tensed, Ah fuck. I only ever showed Gon my scars. Killua turned in his seat, facing them. 'if I tell you, you have to promise not to try to murder them' the room went silent. "No promises" he spat. Damn, Mamapika's really pissed. 'first of all, I had these scars before I met you guys' Leorio grabbed Kurapika's arm. "Calm down, I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation-" Gon walked over and put a hand on his shoulder. "calm yourself! Your scaring them!" Kurapika blinked a few times before collecting himself. "s-sorry" Killua stood up and raised a finger. 'remember how I said I was a trained assassin?' he nodded. "yes, what does that have to do with anything?" he huffed a little. 'most of those scars are a result of my training' Alluka came over to him with a confused expression. "Oni-chan? Why's Kurapika upset?" he lifted Alluka onto his lap and she smiled, releasing the room's tension. "they're just worried about Killua's scars" Gon said softly.

Alluka looked up. "Oni-chan pat my head" I hope that's not Nanika's request. "Mh" he complied, and she beamed up at him, how he missed that sweet smile. Gon frowned slightly, looking at him. Killua shrugged, then Alluka reached up and hugged his neck. "so, she's your sister?" Tanjiro said curiously, walking over to them. He nodded, "her name is Alluka" Zenitsu walked over as well. "how old is she?" Killua shot him his best glare and Zenitsu yelped, hiding behind Tanjiro. "I was just asking!" I know how you get around girls. "she's 12, don't even try" Gon motioned for him to stand up and Killua did so. "Oni-chan, why do you have that weird bamboo on your mouth?" the other two were looking at him now too. Oh. Well shit. He removed it and let the bamboo rest along his neck. "well, you see the thing is..." he trailed off, glancing over at Gon. "just tell them"

He sighed, "so, where we are currently has demons, their creatures that roam at night and feed on human flesh" Kurapika tensed a little. "like the ants?" he nodded, "yeah, they can only be killed by sunlight, and a special type of sword you decapitate them with" Kurapika frowned slightly, "but I saw you kill one without a sword" he nodded. "they can also be killed by crushing the head, although it's more difficult" Kurapika crossed his arms. "what does with have to do with why you wear a bamboo on your mouth?" he took a deep breath. I don't know how they'll react. He revealed his fangs and Kurapika's eyes widened in shock. "wait, your one of those creatures?" he sighed. "so, somehow I got turned into a demon" he said, putting his hands behind his head. "honestly it's kind of useful for certain things" he sharpened a claw and made a cut on his arm, which healed almost instantly. "but, doesn't that mean you eat people?" Leorio said nervously.

Gon shook his head, "No, also " he smirked and Killua shot him a glare. "don't you fucking dare" Gon picked him up and he growled. "do it!" he giggled, eyes gleaming. "oh my god fine" he shrank into a child's size and grumbled, but everyone gathered around him. "he's so cute!" Leorio said, and Kurapika agreed. "adorable" Alluka walked over and blinked. "smaller than me" he bit Gon's finger, which made him yelp. "hey!" he dropped Killua and he returned to his normal height. "what other cool things can you do now?" Alluka asked. "well, I can do this thing, I did it before but you guys were too terrified to notice" he glanced over at Kurapika. "may I do something? It might hurt a little" he nodded, "sure" Killua sharpened a claw and made a pretty small cut, it probably hurt though. "now watch this" he dug the claw into his own arm and it started to glow again, he was getting better at it.

The others watched in fascination as he smeared the blood along the line of the cut. It glowed for about 2 seconds before the wound faded, taking the blood with it. "Oh, so that's your blood demon art" he glanced up at Tanjiro. "a what now?" Tanjiro blinked, "your blood demon art, it's some sort of supernatural ability that some demons have" Oh, that's what it's called. he pointed to Kurapika's arm. "I've never seen a demon with a healing blood art" then he rubbed the back of his head with a chuckle, "although, I've never heard of a demon who can survive the wisteria poison either" he shrugged, "I'm special" Gon giggled, "also" he said with a smirk. "I'll have you know that I'm twice as strong as a demon" Leorio's jaw dropped. "why? You were already overpowered enough as you were!" Alluka's eyes shimmered, "being a demon sounds so cool!" his smile faded a little. "it may sound cool, but you wouldn't want to be a demon"

He sighed. "the only reason I've been able to resist the urge to eat people was um..." he lifted a finger, not wanting the two demon slayers to question it. 'experience' Kurapika nodded, "ok, how do we get one of those swords? We need to be able to defend ourselves" he glanced over at Tanjiro, who sighed. "well, you can have a spare that I have in the back, but in order to get your own personalized weapon you have to take the final selection exam. Also you have to master a breathing technique" Kurapika glanced over at Killua and he shrugged. "don't ask me, ask Gon. He pulled it off. I still don't know how the fuck he did it" Gon beamed, "I can show you! Let's go outside!"

They all were outside and he activated Zetsu, Kurapika and Leorio glanced at him and did the same. Probably because I did it. "ok, I'm only good at two of the forms" he grabbed the sword, not his fishing rod because it was harder to demonstrate. "but um, I can't swing a sword properly so sorry. I use a Nichirin fishing rod" Kurapika chuckled, "should have guessed, you do wonders with that thing" he took a few deep breaths and closed his eyes for a moment, holding his sword at the ready. He mumbled something he didn't catch, then swung his sword once, the orange aura like glow slashing through a nearby tree with ease. Kurapika clapped, "that was fantastic, your telling me I can learn something like that?" Gon nodded, "yeah, but you kind of have to train for a few months" Tanjiro shook his head, "no, it takes longer than that. It took me two whole years"

Killua smirked, "that's because Gon probably got more experience then you had when you started" Tanjiro blinked. "how?" Kurapika sighed heavily, "those two children probably faced a lot more danger then you did at the age of twelve" he nodded, "yeah, this idiot gets into far too much trouble" he shot a glare at Killua. "excuse you?" he chuckled, "do I need to remind you of all the times you did something idiotic and got yourself hurt?" Gon shook his head. "N-" he grinned. "too bad. Because I'm doing it" he started counting on a finger. "your fight with Gido, your fight with Hisoka, your fight with Hanzo, that time you jumped off a boat in the middle of a hurricane-" Gon glared at Kurapika and Leorio. "snitches" Kurapika crossed his arms. "your reckless. If we hadn't caught you, you might have drowned" he nodded. "exactly. Also, do I need to remind you of that time your hands nearly fell off for a goddamn experiment?"

He pointed at Killua, "you've done some dumb things too!" he scoffed, "like what?" Gon smirked. "you drank poison on purpose, also remember when your hands got all purple because you busted them up?" he giggled. "I remember that one time when you were arguing with bisky-" Killua growled. "oh shut up!" Alluka giggled and tugged on his sleeve. "Oni-chan jumped in front of a gun once, heard the story from Gon" he huffed. "if I didn't he'd have gotten shot. I do not regret that one" Tanjiro blinked. "what's a gun?" the other three glanced at Killua like he had all the answers. "it's a weapon where we come from, kind of like a bow and arrow I guess? Except it's more compact and does a lot more damage" he lifted a finger. 'they don't have technology here for some reason, no phones, T.Vs, any electricity'

Tanjiro glanced at them as they sighed. "you guys can communicate like that too?" he squinted. "I still can't figure out how you do that" he grinned. "gimme that sword" he took the sword from Gon, wincing slightly as his palms burned. "ow, I forgot how much Nichirin hurts" he cleared his throat. "I can't use the breathing thing but I figured out how to make something similar" he let his electricity run through it and he swung it a few times. Kurapika frowned slightly. "don't you have to charge? Is there a way to do that around here?" he sighed. "No. unless I somehow get struck by lightning" Gon snorted, "what about Zenitsu? He uses lightning. If you knock him out get him to stab you and it might work" Killua shot him a glare. "hell no, he's fast as fuck when he's asleep. Cut my arm off in a split second" there was a gasp, and Tanjiro took a step back. Killua turned, and saw two empty black eye sockets staring at him. "Killua"
