New Fangs (KNY X HxH)

25

Killua had had a dream about Gon. It was good at first, but then it started to get darker. People started yelling at him again, hitting him. And then Gon died, that was when Killua woke up. The dream had been so real, but what was even realer was the feel of Gon's hand on his cheek. It feels so nice, like I want more. He couldn't help leaning into the touch, eyes closing. He knew his tail was pretty much broadcasting his emotions, but that didn't matter right now. "Nh" Gon's thumb rubbed his jawline a bit and he blushed a little. There was a soft giggle and he snapped out of it, slapping Gon's hand away. "Fuck off" Gon sighed. "I know you enjoyed that" he grumbled and shot a glare at Gon. "Damn cat parts. I'm starting to act like a fucking cat too" he was pretty sure that was why he slept so long, also why he enjoyed getting touched like that.

Gon sighed, "well. I think you should have a talk with Kurapika and Leorio" his tail stopped and drooped a little. "Damn it, I really don't want to. I don't like thoughtful apologies like that, it makes my emotions go all... bleh" Gon giggled furiously, "hearing that from your mouth was so hilarious-" Killua shot a glare at Gon. "I'm just being honest here! Be grateful" Killua usually hid how he felt from everyone, even Gon. But after what had happened in the last couple months, he didn't want to. He wanted to be able to let loose when he was around Gon, Gon would never judge him for it or find him weak. Tanjiro was also nice to talk to when he felt down, he wasn't quite sure why he had been able to open up to him so fast. Maybe I'll ask Zenitsu about it. Tanjiro and Zenitsu had an odd relationship, they didn't act like just friends. But they weren't romantically attracted to each other either. It was so fucking weird, but maybe there was a reason. As thick as Insouke was, he also had that sort of strange relationship with Tanjiro.

Gon stood up, and Killua did as well. "if you don't want to talk to them yet it's up to you" he said softly. GODDAMN IT. YOUR SO FUCKING SWEET I WANT TO SCREAM. Speaking of sweets, he hadn't seen any sort of chocolate in half a year. That was something that he just realized, and it made him kind of irritated. "nah I'll do it, but I aint forgiving them out loud" Gon frowned slightly. "why not?" he crossed his arms. "saying the words is too embarrassing!" and it made him seem weak, he wasn't sure why he was so strongly against the idea of seeming weak but he was. Probably because of my fuck ton of insecurities, but who cares? He half joked to himself. Oh shit. When I actually look at myself honestly I can see just how fucked up my life is. It was pretty messed up when he thought about it, but he was happy with where he was. Not quite, it'll take a bit more work to get where I want to be.

He walked out into the front room and both Kurapika and Leorio were talking quietly as they ate dinner. He put his monotone expression up, tail flicking lazily behind him. Kurapika looked up with a mixed expression. "Killua..." he put his hands behind his head and waited for him to continue. Kurapika bowed his head a little. "I... I'm sorry. There's not any other way to put it" he shrugged. "whatever" he blinked up at Killua in surprise. "huh?" Gon scoffed. "you could at least sound like you forgive him" he shot a glare at Gon. "and I told you no! I'm not saying the words" he sighed. "Killua forgave you, he's just being difficult right now" his ears flattened. "Gon" Gon smirked at him. "yes?" he found himself blushing a little. "fuck off" he said. Gon giggled, "I mean, if you want me to go hang out with Zenitsu and Nezuko instead-" he growled. "no" and he immediately regretted saying that, because Kurapika chuckled a little and his ears could barely pick up the sound. "how aren't they dating already"

He blushed furiously at Kurapika, shooting him an icy glare. "I heard that!" Kurapika of course doesn't know, but how long has he thought that? Gon blinked. "what did he say?" he scowled. "nothing!" suddenly there was a knock on the door. His ears perked up, which caught the attention of Kurapika and Zenitsu, who were currently looking at him. Alluka smiled and ran over to the door. "Akastune is that you?" the door started to open, thankfully the door blocked the others from seeing him just yet. "h-hey" he looked really nervous, so Killua walked over and grabbed his arm, before dragging him to the center of the room. There were instantaneous reactions, but they were very different. Zenitsu screamed and ran behind Tanjiro, Kurapika's eyes went red, and Leorio looked alarmed. "Ah! You said there were four demon slayers, not six!" he chuckled. "only three people in this room are demon slayers, the rest just live here"

"Why'd you bring a demon in here!" Zenitsu yelled. "Tanjiro kill it before it eats us!" Akastune flinched, which he could tell Kurapika saw. "um, I- Damn it I can't do crowds" he turned and hid behind Killua. "so guys, this is Akastune" he said, flicking his tail at him. "I met him in my quest for an alternate form of feeding, it is worth mentioning that he used to be one of the twelve kizuki" Zenitsu squeaked and ducked even further behind Tanjiro. "what is this 'alternate form of feeding' you found?" Kurapika asked. He sighed. "well um" Killua cleared his throat awkwardly. "Ah. Eh. Hm." Gon gave him a look. "you told me and Tanjiro just fine, what's the problem here?" the issue was mainly that he didn't know how they would react. Also he just realized that it was technically cannibalism. "just spit it out" Leorio snapped. He sighed. "demons eat humans, therefore if you eat a demon you get human blood" he rubbed the back of his head, not looking at their expressions.

"isn't that technically cannibalism?" Kurapika said. So you thought that too. "well, it's a solution. You'd rather eat the assholes then the good people right?" he pointed out. Gon giggled, "I remember you saying something very similar back when-" he shot Gon a glare. "shut up" he cleared his throat, then sat down on the couch. Akastune sat next to him, between him and Gon. What he didn't realize was how short he was, even though he claimed to be 40. "so I also unlocked a new blood demon art" Akastune glanced over at him. "that wasn't your first?" he shook his head. "my first is some sort of healing, it just kind of happened in a pinch when Gon was bleeding out on the fucking ground." he shrugged off the horrified expressions. "anyways" he bared his fangs, which were now differently pointed. "so, when my saliva mixes with the blood of a living thing, it pretty much numbs their body. Stronger beings can kind of resist it though"

He gestured to Akastune, "he could still move his limbs a little, although not much. I'm pretty sure an upper moon would be slowed but not halted. I've been working on this art for about two and a half weeks so it's still rusty" then he pointed to his ears. "also. When I started to feed off Akastune before we became friends, about halfway through I sprouted a tail and ears. Akastune says it's called a 'shift' or something" he rubbed the back of his head. "sorry" Akastune chuckled. "it's alright, but um... why is there a guy with a boar head watching through the window?" Ah shit. He shot a glare at Insouke. "I WILL STAB YOU" one of his claws slid out and he ran off. Akastune looked alarmed. "who was that?" he sighed, claw sliding back in. "that was Insouke, he's one of the demon slayers. He's also extremely aggressive and I may have broken his swords. Not to mention the fact that he tried to stab me and Alluka before." Akastune looked really nervous so he ruffled his hair, "ah you'll be fine. He actually listens to you if you put him in his place"

He then glanced over at Tanjiro. "speaking of putting him in his place, how'd you do it?" he laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head. "I um... well he tried to attack me and I may have..." he trailed off for a few seconds. "I may have broken a rib and headbutted him in the face to keep him from stabbing my sister" Killua snorted. "I don't envy him, I've seen what you can do with that forehead of yours" he winced slightly as he remembered watching some poor demon try to attack him that way. Kurapika looked at him curiously. "huh?" he snickered. "he's got metal in there, or rock. Wasn't that painful?" Tanjiro shook his head, "I don't remember having it get put in, but it's always been there"

There was silence for a while. "so what now?" Gon said. He shrugged, "dunno-" then Gon beamed, "we could go swimming!" Killua's ears flattened, "Damn, your loud" Gon giggled, "always have been~" what the fuck is up with his tone? He thought, blushing a little. Gon leapt up, and that was when Killua noticed he was still wearing the faded green and bloodstained shorts along with his makeshift fur shirt, it was pretty much just multiple animal furs tied around his body. "Damn, I need new clothes" then he shot a glare at Gon. "speaking of clothes, those are mine" Gon snorted, "then maybe you shouldn't have left for three weeks!" the air went tense around them, but Killua and Gon joked about their near death experiences and shit all the damn time. Killua's tail flicked a little and he scoffed. "I aint the one who nearly died, three times in the last three months."
