Killing a Heart

18: Memories

Of course it was Gon's room. What else was he expecting. Geez, it even smelled like him still. Killua really didn't want to look creepy, but he'd already gone through a lot. This would be the least of his worries.

He jumped onto the blue and white striped bed. He took A big whiff of the pillow. It smelled like him. It smelled like before everything had gone to hell.

He slowly exhaled. Even though everything was going wrong. He felt really relaxed.

"Killua." Gon's little sister said as she climbed the bed to sit beside him.

"Yes Aki?" "Why are you in Onii-chan's bed?" She asked innocently. "Because he's not here." "When will he be?" She asked again. "I don't know."

"Okay..." she mumbled closing her eyes and snuggling up against him.

Killua knew from past experiences that waking this little girl up was dangerous so he laid still.

When the twins were babies, Mito's husband left for work for the first time since they had been together. She having two crying babies, and not enough help stressed her to the core. She thought she would be fine with the help of Grandma Freecss, but in the end she ended up calling Gon and Killua, while crying on the phone begging for the two to come help.

Gon having his long spiky hair at the time tried his best to help, only to get baby spit up and puke in every crevice of his scalp.

Right after that experience, Gon handed Killua scissors and begged him to cut off all his hair.

Killua laughed at the memory.

But then the nostalgia turn to pain. Gon and him weren't going to have anymore fun memories together after this.

Killua frowned and closed his eyes. Tomorrow he would carry on, and protect his students.

He was about to sleep when he felt a hand touch him. It wasn't Aki or Haru's small hand. And it wasn't soft enough to be Mito's.

"Killua...-" "Gon!?"
