Fem Gon x Killua

CHAPTER 13

schwub schwub schwub

Me and Killua are thinking the same thing right now, I can tell. 'Who was he?'

I shrug it off and assume he was just the gardener. Then we continue where we left off studying.

-8:32pm-

Me and Retz wave goodbye to Killua, and Retz gets picked up by a limo at the gate, while I walk back toward my home.

It's really dark out here... around my neighborhood the amount of light posts are actually rather ample in comparison... Suddenly, I feel a presence coming from an alleyway behind me. I pause, then quickly turn around to confront it, but there's nothing there. Is it my imagination? I sigh, then continue walking down the street, but not without letting my guard down. I've been tailed before, but if I really am, then this person must be a professional of some sort... what would they want with me?

I close my eyes and sigh, while turning the corner only to come face to face with-

"MR GARDENER CLOWN-" I scream and cover my mouth while jumping back in shock.

The clown covers his mouth to suppress a quiet chuckle and I look up at him to glare. I'm not sure where this hostility came from, but there's just something I don't like about him...

After taking in my expression, he smiles down at me. With that same odd expression as before. Its very creepy, and I'd like for him to stop :(

I stare at him with hostility, before walking around him to leave. I expect him to stop me, since I predict he wanted something from me, however he just watches me walk away while continuing to smile. I decide to stop again, and turn to face him, replacing my hostility with curiosity, because it's not fair to dislike someone I don't yet know, and decide to verify what this stranger is here for.

"Um... what... do you need something?" I ask sincerely, in an attempt to be kind.

He steps away from the street lamp he'd been leaning on and takes another step toward me. I stand my ground this time, eyeing his every move with caution, while also trying to be polite and make it seem like I'm not immensely uncomfortable with them, and wait patiently for what they have to say.

"I do." He says with a polite yet odd smile.

I wait for him to continue, when he doesn't, I begin to lose my patience, but force a smile anyway.

"And that would be..?" I ask.

"You'll find out soon enough." He says curtly and slips into the alley with a sly smile.

"Ah- Wait..!" I say and run into the alley only to be faced with nothing. I stand in confusion, agitation, and dumbfoundedness all at once, then I shake my head and continue on, trying to pretend like nothing happened.

——Next morning——

I sit up lazily with my hair sticking out every which way, particularly upwards, as it prefers to defy gravity, and groggily look towards the clock.

5:03 am

I sigh in relief and lay back down, but rather than sleeping, I begin to think while my eyes are closed. People think I don't think often, but I do, just not at the right particular moments or of the right particular things...

Christmas... what should I give everyone for Christmas? I need to get a gift for Kurapika, Leorio, Killua, Retz, Mito, Zushi, Grandma..... Hm.... I could also ask about their family members and give them some too! Maybe I'll go shopping for them today. What should I give them? I'll give Grandma flowers, maybe a necklace for Mito, I could give Zushi something training/fighting related, I could get Leorio a tie, Kurapika a book, Retz could have a hairbow or clip I think, and Killua..... I could give Killua..... What's something I could give to Killua....? Oh well, I've got plenty of time to decide on something since Thanksgiving was just last week.
