"Can you two explain why are you fighting here at the rooftop?" Kurapika snapped his head towards them.

Killua stood up, adverting his gaze away from him. "We were just having a sparring match."

"Isn't that a little too much for a sparring match? It's seems like you two are trying to kill each other." Kurapika added.

"Don't get in the way, Kurapika! I'm trying to prove that I am stronger than Killua!" Gon said as the blonde turned to him.

His sparkling starry eyes back then was now tainted by the darkness, he could only see anger within it.

I understand it now. the blonde thought, having a grasp of the situation.

"Why do you need to prove anything, Gon? Were you inferior to Killua?" the blonde asked him.

"Inferior? Me? No. Of course not. I'm just comparing strength with him." he answered.

I never expect for Gon to turn out like this. He wasn't like this before. What happened? Kurapika thought.

"You just had a operation last night, didn't you? Why don't you take a rest for awhile. You might reopen your wounds." he told him. With a glare.

Unexpected, he obeyed. "Alright."

Gon exited the rooftop and went back to his room, downstairs.

"Now that Gon is not here...Killua." Kurapika turned to white haired boy.

"What?" he replied.

"What is wrong with Gon? He's not like that back then." Kurapika asked.

"I don't know. He might be upset when he was overwhelmed by an enemy that we faced back then." Killua said.

"Is your enemy a Witch?"

The two kids were surprised.

"Y-You know about the Witches?" Alyssa asked.

"Of course. The government was hiding it from the public to keep societal peace and order, isn't it?" Kurapika said.

The government is leaking out too much information to him. she thought.

"Not that I care about that thought." the blonde sighed grabbed his phone.

"What is the job you wanted us to do?" Killua asked.

"Didn't I told you that you guys will steal a book back then?"

"Yeah, but we need more details. Like, where's the location, or when will we do your job."

"I'll tell you the whole information you need once Gon is fully recovered."

Killua disagreed. "No, me and Alyssa can do it. Gon will just get in the way."

"I-I'll do the job, too?" Alyssa asked.

"Yeah. have a problem?" Killua said, pouting.

"Not really." she sweat dropped.

"Well, if you're that sure, alright. But first, let's get something to drink. I'm getting thirsty." Kurapika said.

✢✩✦✩✦✩✦✢

Kurapika drunk his coffee while Alyssa ate her strawberry shortcake as Killua ate his chocorobo. They were at the hospital's cafeteria.

"Whoa, I didn't knew that they were selling chocorobos here." Killua said.

"Yes. I thought they only sell it in chocolate shops." Alyssa said.

The marshmallow head turned to the shelves of chocorobos from the counter, he was literally drooling.

"Maybe I should buy all of them...?" he said as the girl seating beside him, giggled.

"As I was saying." Kurapika put down his cup of coffee down as the two turned their attention to him.

"I want you to steal a book for me, however, it has no title. Just like I have said back then." he said as he grabbed a picture from his pocket and showed it to the kids.

"This is the place where you will steal the book, at Kukuroo Mountain, dormant volcano in the Dentora region of the Republic of Padokia—"

"WAIT! IT'S MY HOUSE!" Killua yelled as he pointed at the picture.

"Exactly. That's why you are the one who I offered the job to, because you live there and you can steal it without getting caught by the other family members." Kurapika casually said.

"You live at this place, Killua? You have a big house!" Alyssa exclaimed.

"I don't think that you can still call this as a house. It is a mansion." the blonde said.

"You haven't told us where it is held at." Killua said.

"You're a Zoldyck yet you don't know." Kurapika said.

He huffed. "Spill the beans already."

The blonde sighed and folded his arms. "It's in your family's vault."

"It's impossible. There are lots of traps laid over there." the silver head said.

"But if you do it, the probability of stealing it will dramatically raise." the blonde said.

Killua sighed. "What a pain."

I knew that he isn't up to it. I have no choice but to do that... Kurapika thought.

"Hey Alyssa, can I trouble you to buy me some more coffee?" he asked the little girl.

"Y-Yes. With pleasure." she replied as she stood up from her chair and went to the counter.

Now it's the two of them sitting on the table, staring at each other.

"You must know why I ask Alyssa to walk away for awhile, right?" Kurapika said.

"Cut the chase already." Killua snapped.

He leaned towards the white haired boy and whispered something to his ear.

"If you do the job for me, I'll reward you with the promised amount of money and a thousand chocorobos." the blonde bribed him.

His blue eyes sparkled as he loved the thought of that.

"Plus, I also have a bonus for you. You'll probably learn some more things about that little girl and the Witches." he added.

"Is Alyssa and the Witches related?" Killua asked.

"You...don't you notice?" Kurapika was surprised.

"Notice what?" the silver head asked.

"No, it's nothing." the blonde dropped the subject as the boy doesn't have to know now.

Shortly, Alyssa came back with the coffee in hand as she handed it to Kurapika.

"Here you go." she said and smiled at him.

"Oh, thank you." he replied and sipped in the coffee.

She sat down beside Killua as Kurapika put down his cup of coffee and stared at him.

"You'll do the job once Gon is released from the hospital, got it?" Kurapika said.

"Didn't I told you earlier that Gon will get in the way? We can do it ourselves. We'll start in an early date." Killua said.

"Who do you think is paying you?" the blonde said, folding his arms.

The silver head adverted his gaze from him, annoyed. "Tch. Whatever."

"In how you'll snatch the book from the vault is all up to you. I gave you the descriptions of it, it's up to your knowledge and skills now." the blonde said.

"Kurapika-san, d-do I also have to do the job as well?" Alyssa interrupted.

"You can, if you want. Originally, this job is for Gon and Killua, you can share the prize with them." he answered.

Killua leaned towards her, there was only an inch of space between them. He was glaring at her as she sweat dropped, nervous of how dangerously close they were.

"You. Are. Coming." he said, emphasizing each word.

"Yes, sir." she replied.

Alyssa's POV

I also have to do the job request, huh?

I don't know how well I could do. In important mission like this, I'm incredibly useless, honestly speaking.

I began to fidget, nervously.

"What should I do? I might get in Gon and Killua's way...." I murmured.

There's no going back now, even if I did, Killua wouldn't let me. I sighed.

Strangely, I found myself in front of Gon's room. With bags of candies, I knocked on the door, nervously.

"Gon? It's me Alyssa. Can I come in?"

I stood there, waiting for his reply. I looked down to the bags of candies, they actually looked tasty, however, I don't know what flavors are all of these are.

Because the candies are wrapped in one same plastic, color white. Which you cannot identify what flavor it is until you've actually tasted it.

The door creaked open, I looked up and saw Gon opening the door. He wasn't looking straight at me, but at the ground.

"What?" he asked.

I handed him a bag of candies. "If you would like, I have some candies for you that might actually make you feel better. I haven't eaten one yet from here, so don't worry. You can have the whole pack—"

He grabbed my hand as he pulled me inside the room, closing the door afterwards.

"Eat it with me." he said as he walked towards his bed.

I only stared at him as I smiled. "Sure!"

Walking towards him, I sat beside him on the bed and unwrapped the plastic which holds the candies inside. I picked one and handed it to him.

"Here, have one." I said.

He took it from my hand as he looked at it, then he turned to me.

"What flavor is this? I couldn't tell it with this white plastic wrapped around it." he asked.

"Secret. You'll find out when you actually swallow it." I giggled.

"Oh! Is this like a surprise candy?" he asked.

"Yeah." I replied.

He nodded as he unwrapped the plastic and plopped the candy in his mouth, he began to chew it.

"What flavor was it?" I asked.

"Caramel." he answered.

"Oh I see. I'll try some, too." I said as I grabbed one and unwrapped the plastic around.

Plopping the candy in my mouth, a sweet tingling sensation hit my tongue. It was my favorite flavor.

"Lucky! This is a strawberry flavored candy~" I sung happily.

"I guess it's my turn again, huh?" Gon said as he grabbed a candy from the bag and unwrapped it as he plopped it in his mouth.

"Whoa. It's lemon flavored." he said.

"My turn~!" I sung and happily ate the next candy, strangely, this one is juicy.

"Oh, I got orange flavor." I said.

We continued taking turns in eating the candies, until I drew out the last straw. Which was my least favorite flavor of candy.

Wasabi flavor.

I began to twitch as I looked at the unwrapped candy from the plastic, hesitating to whether eat this or not.

"What's wrong, Alyssa? Aren't you gonna eat it?" Gon asked.

I sweat dropped. "I-I think I ate too much candies today. I was thinking that I should stop before I destroy my teeth."

"Come on, eat it, it's the last one." he said.

But I don't want to eat it. I thought.

"Alright. I'll eat it." I sighed, giving up.

I plopped the candy in my mouth as the spicy flavor of wasabi sprung in my taste buds, I could feel my tongue burn as I wanna spit it out. It was too spicy!

I covered my mouth, trying to stop myself from spitting it out. It was such a bad flavor for me.

"So what flavor is it?" Gon asked.

Then his eyes widened. "H-Hey! Why are you crying...?"

"No...nothing...I'm not crying..." I said as it was truly spicy and I can't hold it any longer.

"Was it because of the candy? You didn't liked the flavor, did you?" he asked.

I shook my head. "I l-love this flavor so much...I'm crying in how tasty this is."

"You're a terrible liar."

He leaned down and pressed his lips against mine. Sneaking his tongue, he snatched the candy out as he took it away from me.

Then he leaned back as I was caught surprised by him. My tears ceased to fall as I could feel my cheeks get warmer.

What just happened?

"Gosh. It's Wasabi flavor! No wonder why you hate it—it's so spicy." he said as he began to chew the candy.

Did I just think what he just did?

I covered my mouth as I was really surprised. "D-D-D-Did you j-j-just k-k-kissed me?!"

"Do you count that as a kiss? I was just curious in what flavor you got that made you cry." he said, innocently.

Gon is an angel. So pure and innocent.

"But if you count it in, I don't mind that you are my first kiss." he added.

My first kiss was taken by an angel.
