Forget Me Not

Chapter 2

"Gon, what the fuck, dude," Leorio shouted while smashing into Gon's room. The door flew open and pages that were scattered around the floor were gusted up by the wind it created. In the room, Gon was sitting on the floor, attempting to clean up a spilled potion that, luckily, wasn't eating away at anything. A simple mishap, but the floorboards in this condo were old and the potion was leaking through the floor. Gon's room just so happened to be above Leorio's room. So, mix a magical mishap with a magic doctor trying to sleep, you get an angry, magic, doctor.

"Sorry Leorio, I just got excited because the potion actually worked. And then I bumped it and it went everywhere... Sorry," Gon responded, looking up from the mess he was cleaning up.

"Besides," a sly voice chimed from behind the knock over cauldron, Killua's slim cat from emerging and jumping up on top of the desk looking over at the potions book that was open. "You were going to be up in, like, ten minutes. A little earlier won't hurt you too much.

"No look here cat—"

"He's right," Kurapika interrupted, getting in the way of another argument between Killua and Leorio, which had been a major fixture within the condo for the past two weeks — the length in which Killua had been Gon's quote, unquote, familiar. "Your alarm is going off."

Leorio had his head turned, which gave both Gon and Killua the opportunity to stick their tongues out at him. Kurapika couldn't help but chuckle at their childish action, Leorio's head snapping around to see the source of laughter, only to see the both of them attempting to clean up their mess.

"Why don't you just use a spell?" Killua whined, from his new spot on top of the toppled over cauldron. "A quick erasing spell and it'll be gone."

"That requires me knowing the spell," Gon replied back, using a cloth to wipe up the spill, only to watch it be pushed around.

Killua watched as Gon futilely wiped at the floor, the metallic mixture essentially running away from the rag. Eventually, he gave in and rolled his eyes and jumped down in front of Gon and the potion, stopping the wizard's movements.

"You can't wipe up a liquid metal-based potion, you either sweep it up or you have to use a spell," Killua reprimanded Gon with a small swat with his paw — which felt like nothing to Gon — and stepped around Gon with his tail ticking back and forth as the small blue glow started to sprout out of the end. "Come on, let's try it." He sat down beside where Gon was kneeling, gesturing towards the wand that was placed on the desk.

Gon reached up to grab it and started following the ticking motion of Killua's tail with his wand. It started to glow with a crisp yellow color, the hue of Gon's magic; everyone's magic has their own color and each is a different tone of the color. Gon's was a golden, warm, yellow, directly reflecting his sunny disposition. Kurapika had a vibrant and enraged red as his magic aura — to match his strong headedness. Leorio's was a warm and charismatic orange, just like his inner self.

Kurapika and Leorio were still at the door, Leorio feeling as though he had unfinished business with the boys and Kurapika wanted to be there to defend Gon if needed — remembering his own times experimenting as a newly blooming wizard. As they watched they both felt that overwhelming feeling of an unknown looming danger as this cat began to perform magic... with his tail.

"Kay, now what do you want to clean up?" Killua asked, walking Gon through the spell, which had ended up doing a few times after becoming Gon's official familiar.

"The gypsy future potion, that's what needs to be cleaned up," Gon answered.

"Okay, focus on that, and then tell it to disappear."
