Gon smacks the alarm the moment it starts beeping. He gets out of bed, gets dressed, and leaves the room before Killua is out of bed.

Aunt Mito hasn't started making breakfast before he's downstairs. He grabs a granola bar, puts on his shoes, and walks out the door. Confident that Killua would be able to keep up with him.

Killua doesn't even bother, he stays in bed longer not wanting to get out of the comfy bed. Mito comes in to ask Killua what is up with Gon, and he only shrugs his shoulders. He gets up and gets dressed slowly, hissing at the rashes as they sting a bit.

How did they know I was allergic to this certain kind of alcohol. Damn, I wanna stab piggy again. Killua thinks and walks downstairs with his stuff. He sits down at the table and eats his and Gon's share of the food.

. . . .

Gon sits down in his seat. It's him and a couple other kids in the classroom. He waits patiently.

Tai and Taro walk into the classroom. Tai looks extra happy today, her face bright and cheerful and Taro smiles as well. She moves her long braid onto her shoulder and Taro hands Tai something before they start heading to their seats.

When he sees them walk in, Gon doesn't move a muscle. They didn't come before the bell soon enough, so he just had to be patient. He keeps his eyes on them even after the bell rang. Killua isn't there yet. If school has been hurting him like this the whole time, Gon didn't want him to come.

Killua lets out a yawn and walks in as soon as the bell rings. He sits down and dumps some candy into his mouth. He lets out a breath and looks up to pay attention to the teacher's lecture. He takes out his notebook notes stuff.

. . . .

Gon stands up right when the lunch bell rings. It was like he knew exactly when it was going to ring because he'd been watching the clock. He had been waiting for far too long, and all it's been doing is fueling his fire. Gon approaches the three of them laughing at something one said. His brown eyes are darker than normal. He has been thinking about what he's going to say for a long time. He waits for them to notice him before speaking.

It takes a minute for the three to notice him. Tai smiles a warm smile at Gon and her twin brother Taro waves at him.

"Oh, Gon, is it?" Tai says before Taro speaks up,

"Is there something you need?" he puffs out annoyed.

Tai slaps his chest softly. "Don't be so rude!" she says and turns her focus to Gon and smiles.

Killua looks up with wide eyes when he realizes what Gon is about to do.

He stands up in the now empty classroom.

"Gon, don't, I can handle myself." He says and puts his hand on Gon's shoulder. Killua takes a deep breath,

"There's more to this Gon." Taro looks at Killua, the situation finally clicking.

Taro looks at Maro with annoyed eyes. "Really Maro?" he says then whispers something into Tai's ear.

Gon stands there, willing to listen to Killua explain. But he has given him plenty of times to take care of it himself. Gon finds it hard to believe anything Killua says will stop him. He still is as still as a rock.

Killua gets close to Gon's ear, cupping his hand over his mouth, "They are doing it for my older brother." Killua says pressing his forehead on the side of Gon's head. He breathes out and continues

"I don't live here, my family just bought me a home so I could go to school up here. So my stupid older brother doesn't like going outside. Don't get involved, I'm fine Gon." he says, trying to stop Gon with any leverage he can think of.

"That's pathetic." Gon whispers quietly enough for Killua to barely hear it at all,

"Never do or say anything to Killua ever again. If you think you can send death threats to my friend without me getting involved, take a hike."

"G-Gon just please don't." Killua says desperately.

Maro stands up then whips Killua by his side quickly and walks behind the two twins. He grabs Killua's shirt violently and starts to whisper something in his ear.

"Gah, I'm sorry okay!" Killua says in response to Maro.

Tai giggles amused. "Wow Gon, you're so silly!" Tai says and leans her head on Taro.

Gon snatches Maro's wrist when it makes contact with Killua. "I don't think you heard me." Making it clear he is serious.

"I don't care if you're taking orders from someone. That coward can come down here himself."

Taro slaps Gon hard in the face. "Come any closer and I won't hesitate." he says threateningly, his black eyes sharp. Both of his hands balled into fists.

Gon looks back to Maro, ignoring the slap that forced his head to turn. It's like he didn't even feel it.

Maro puts his other hand on Killua's neck.

"Let go." he says as he squeezes the boy's neck,

"and I'm on no one's orders, I'm doing this because I like it. I have nothing to lose, so try me, Freecss." Maro says with an evil smirk
