Reader's POV

I sat on the couch, waiting for Alluka and Killua to get back. They had gone out to get something to eat for the three of us. I looked out the window, and the sun was covered by a thick layer of dark gray clouds. Sometimes thunder would clap, and a peal of lightning would shine.

I wanted them to hurry home already. Dark gray clouds always got me nervous. On TV, it said there was a chance of a typhoon. Dammit. Is that even possible? Anyhow, a typhoon was heading towards us. And I didn't like that one bit.

I don't even understand why they even went out when I could make some food myself. Do they underestimate my cooking?!

I inwardly laughed at myself. That's ridiculous. But it was a thought. Anyway, I wanted them to come home.

Each time there was a thunder clap, my stomach threatened to flip. And the laugh at myself got louder in my head, screaming "Trivial, trivial, your worrying is trivial!"

Perhaps it was. Was it like this when Killua was waiting for me to wake up those two days I was knocked out? God, I hope not. The last thing I want to do is worry him. After all, I have to show him that women are smarter!

Crap, if I told him that, he'd tickle me until I exploded...

Just as I winced at the thought, the door opened, and Alluka barged in swinging a plastic bag with her arm.

That scared the living crap out of me, so my hand was on my heart, and when I wanted to yell at her for scaring me half to death, but all I could let out was a whimper.

"Y/n! We brought you some (favorite food) and some cannoli for me, and shortcake for Brother!" Alluka was bursting with excitement and when she put the plastic bag onto the counter, she started dancing like a wild woman.

Killua, however, walked in calmly and closed the door behind him quietly. After locking it, he walked over to me, who was still scared. He kissed my temple.

"How are you, beautiful?" He asked with a smile, sitting down.

"Scared half to death by Alluka." I responded. Blinking once, he turned to Alluka, who was still dancing.

"Alluka, you're gonna bust your head open if you slip." With that one sentence, Alluka stopped dancing and stared at him with fearful, wide eyes, and scrambles to the couch next to him. She grabbed the remote and turned it on. Killua hugged me close and smiled.

I smiled as well and nuzzled into his throat. He made his strange, yet endearing purr. This continued until he got up suddenly, surprising me.

"I'm gonna take a nap. You coming, sugar?" He looked down at me.

"No. Take your nap, baby." I smiled at him.

Killua walked away to our room, with a small bag on his arm. When he was gone, Alluka asked, "Hey, y/n-née? Could you do something for me?"

I was caught off-guard and looked at her. "Yeah what is it?"

"Give me a strand of your hair!" I almost shook my head at this. This was completely out of the blue. But, it was Alluka, so I plucked a h/c strand of my hair and put it in her hand.

She smiled at it and clutched it. Then, she looked at me. "Y/n-née, give me a hug!"

This I was sort of expecting. Alluka spread her arms wide and smiled at me. I wasted no time in embracing her tightly. She was a cute lil cuddle bug!

When I pulled away, I asked, "Anything else, Alluka?"

She didn't hesitate. "Y/n-née, pat my head!" I lifted a hand and placed it on her head softly. Then I rubbed it back and forth, causing her smile to become bigger.

Then, the air became a little colder. I slightly shivered. Then, I removed my hand from Alluka's head, and nearly had a heart attack.

Her face had become that of a normal white mask. Her mouth and eyes were wide and black, and she was smiling still. "So... You are y/n-née." Alluka's voice was higher and more mechanic. I furrowed my brow. How had she turned into this in such a short time...?

I wasn't completely fazed, on the contrary, I thought she was cute like this. Even like this. Upon my silence, "Alluka" frowned at tilted her head. "Why are you looking at me like that?" She spoke mechanically.

"Ah- don't worry...!" I tried my hardest not to be intimidated. "What is your name?" I was pretty sure that this wasn't Alluka...

"My name is... Something. Alluka is my best friend. And since you are Alluka's best friend, you are my best friend!" Something's tone was a little less mechanic, and more cheerful.

"Sorry, Something- I want to call y-your big brother." I tried not to shriek Killua's name. "Killua-! Come here, please!" After that, I kept looking into Something's eyes as she smiled sweetly.

Killua soon appeared and his eyes widened when he saw Something. "Something! You sure came out late...!" He sounded surprised.

Upon looking at my confused face, Killua smiled assuringly. "Don't worry. It's just Alluka's and my friend, Something." I still didn't understand, but I relaxed slightly.

"Alluka randomly makes requests to people she knows. She gives three requests. If you complete all three of those requests, Something here," Killua patted Something's head. "Grants one wish. That wish can be anything. If you wish for something complicated like being a millionaire or getting the girl of your dreams, which I didn't need because I already do... The next person's requests will be bigger and harder to accomplish. If you refuse four of Alluka's requests, then... A minimum of two people are gonna die." He hesitated with that last bit.

I was completely silent. Confusion swirled around in my head, making me dizzy and a wee bit nauseous. But I had a wish in mind. A very simple one.

"Something," I started, my voice hoarse. The two siblings stared at me confusedly. "Make me take a nap."

"Kay." Something mechanically agreed. At once, I saw darkness and succumbed to it, making my body limp and fall backwards.
