This Side of Paradise: HxH Royal UA

Tea Parties VIII.

My eyes went wide, maybe I had just said a little too much, very few people knew of Alluka's existance. Before I could explain further, there was a pounding series of knocks at Gon's door. I froze.

"Oh, uh, WHO IS IT?" Gon yelled from the bed, just as startled as I was. I lept off the chair in a panic, what do I do? What do I do? But all I did was stand there, like my feet were glued to the ground.

"It's me, Sir Reilegh, is Young Master Killua in there? We must go get him ready for his meeting with Lady Rin later today," I looked at Gon, hoping that he could see the pleading on my face begging him not to reveal where I was.

"Well...no he's not here, but I did hear someone run down the hallway a minute ago-"

The door burst open, I groaned, I was in plain sight.

"I had thought so, come Young Master, and you as well, punishment will be taken later, we are on a very tight schedule today, come on now, quickly," Reilegh said, crossing his arms the way he usually did when he was repremanding me or disapointed.

"But I don't want-"

"I KNOW Young Master," Reilegh sighed, "You don't want to meet with the Princess, I get it, but right now we really need to get going so you both please hurry up! We only have five hours!"

Five hours?!?! How much time was needed to put on some nice shoes and comb my hair? I frowned, and turned to look at Gon, who wore an apoligetic look on his face as he stood up next to me. Whe Reilegh both saw we were up on our feet he took off down the hallway, speed walking. It took me a second for my brain to tell me I needed to go with him, so I just kinda stood there for a second before I remembered what was going on.

"We better get going...i'm sorry I couldn't hide you," Gon said, walking to my side and motioning his head to the door.

"Huh? Oh... yeah right, don't worry about it, he was going to find me sooner or later." I walked over to the door frame, and then realized Reilegh was already close to the end of the hallway that lead to my quarters.

"Reilegh! Wait up!" I yelled after the tall man, as I ran to catch up, Gon right behind me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh come on, do I seriously have to do this?" I asked Reilegh, my comb in one hand and the other resting on my chin.

"Of course you do! You're not going out with your hair all wild like that, I won't allow it," Reilegh said from behind me, laying out a pair of shoes by my bed. Gon was somewhere else making himself look more prsentable himself. I smiled at the thought of Gon wearing something really nice besides his casual uniform, though, he could pull off any outfit in my opinion.

"Fine, but i'll have you know that I am doing this reluctantly," I grumbled, brushing my hair downwards more than I usually do, I was always told it looked more "proper" that way.

I heard the chain of Reilegh's pocket watch jingle as I watched him check the time through my vanity's mirror.

"We have twenty minutes until their majestys arrive, i'm going  to go check on Gon, stay put unless I say so otherwise, be back in a few," Reilegh said, not so much as glacing in my direction as he made his way to my door. 

The second he stepped out of my room I shook my head to make my hair all messy again. I looked in the mirror one last time, a tall, regal looking  boy stared back. I got up and walked over to the pair of dress shoes Reilegh had set out for me, they were polished to perfection, not a single mark on the black leather. I slipped them on, and sat down, cracking my knuckles while doing so. I streched my arms out along the untidy covers as I felt something soft brush against my hand, I grabbed it.
