The Zoldyck Heir (HunterXHunter Fanfic)

XVI: Money

Kira opened her eyes. Her bloody red eyes seemed like beads as the sunlight hit them. And the first thing she saw made her smile.

Killua was beside her, one arm supporting his head as he lay sideways in the bed.

"Oh you're finally awake." Killua said to her. The male was already awake and he had been staring at her for quite some time now. She only nodded.

"You're actually a heavy sleeper, aren't you?" He grinned and she only stared at him.

"Do you feel better?" The assassin asked and she replied, "Yes."

She looked around the room, her curious gaze enough to make him realize that she was looking for Gon.

"Are you looking for Gon?" He asked to confirm and she replied with a nod.

"He already left a couple of hours ago. Don't worry. We're meeting him 2 weeks from now." He said and she nodded once again.

"Ohh!" Killua suddenly exclaimed, realizing something and leaned closer to her face.

"Your eyes aren't black anymore." He said in fascination as he continued to stare at them.

On normal circumstances, Kira's eyes would usually be black. But now, it's bloody red, a color he only sees when she engages in battle. He had thought her eye color had to have a condition for it to activate, something similar to Kurapika's case.

But right now, something seems to have changed, not just in the permanent color of her eyes. And he could only look at it closely.

He could see his reflection in her eyes and he couldn't help but marvel at the color, as blue eyes look at red ones.

"Killua... sama. What are you doing?" She suddenly said as she looked up at him.

He suddenly realized how close their bodies were when he saw her lips move. He instantly moved back and he could see her do the same.

'Well, that was awkward.' He couldn't help but thought as a light blush ran across his cheeks.

"I was just looking at your eyes." He said and she started to touch the area around it. "Are they... weird?" She asked in a low voice.

He smiled and shook his head. "No. They're really pretty, you know." He said and he could see her smile.

"Thank you." She said.

He suddenly stood up as if to recover his senses.

"In the meantime, let's just make money here while we wait for Gon." He said and Kira gave him a smile.

"Hai!" She beamed.

"What do you know... we're actually raking in quite a lot of cash." Killua said to her as he checked both of their earnings on the cashier in the tower of heaven.

He had also asked about the match offers they were getting and it seemed to be quite a lot, especially when it comes to Kira. 

Damn. This girl was attracting more trouble than when he was in here in the past. It was probably because of the pictures in that weird site or those delusional fans. And he could only sigh as he recalled them. But that's fine, more match offers means more butts to kick anyway.

"Have you decided on the matches you'll be accepting?" Killua asked her and she nodded.

"I'll take on all of them." She said in a casual tone and Killua laughed. "That's more like it. If someone wants to fight you, then just fight them back." He instructed her and she nodded, "Hai!"
