"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Killua rasped after what the merchant just said.

"I said that we can't use the road to Totori village because there are thieves blocking the path!" the man repeated for Killua.

"Thieves?" Alyssa says.

Killua face palmed himself, "Just because of the thieves you can't proceed?!"

"Just because of the thieves, you say?! Do you even know how dangerous they are?" he rasped.

"Like I care about them." he says as his eyes are half-lidded, having no care about the thieves.

"Is there anything we can do?" Gon asked the merchant.

"Sadly, there is none. If those band of thieves won't go...I'm afraid we won't be able to proceed further." he says.

"What should we do know...?" Alyssa said, feeling bumped.

"Sorry to disappoint you, kids. I don't really like crossing dangerous paths such as a band of thieves especially when I have lots of stuff in my carriage." he says.

"Tsk. What a useless driver." Killua clicked his tongue under his breathe.

Alyssa seem to hear this as she sweat dropped. "Well...it can't be helped, after all, you, Mister were just thinking about our safety." she says.

"For the meanwhile, you kids can stay at my place until the bandits have left." he says.

"Yes, thank you very much. We appreciate your hospitality." she bowed down and excused herself and her friends away.

"What the heck are we still doing here? We are supposed to be doing Kurapika's job and net some money...not being stuck in this worn out village." Killua frowned.

"Don't be so upset, Killua...everything will be fine later." Gon said.

"I hope so." the silver haired sighed.

He turned around and looked at Alyssa, "how much Jenny do we have left?"

"80,000,000 J...however, that's our payment for that mister." she answered.

"Aren't we actually broke?!" he hollered around.

"Yes..." she sheepishly laughed, but then sighed deeply.

"Then how about we get a job for now?" Gon suggested.

"Job? Like what?" Alyssa asked.

"You know...part time jobs?" he says.

"Yes, we should do that! We need to earn money too." she said.

"But where would we find one?" Killua butted in the conversation.

"Well...Eren pointed me this restaurant called The Rabbit Cafe!" Gon stated.

"Eren...you mean Emily-san's son?" Alyssa asked as he nodded.

"Since we have nothing better to do, let's go there now..." Killua nonchalantly said, changing his mind.

"Okay, now you guys, follow me!" Gon chirped as they began walking through the town.

✢✩✦✩✦✩✦✢

"Welcome to the Rabbit Cafe~!" a teenage girl wearing a bunny outfit greeted the three kids.

"This is it?" Killua asked Gon who nodded in approval.

"If I'm not mistaken...this is the place." Gon stated, looking around the store that has an odd atmosphere, but kind of light?

"Come over here, Master! Usami-chan have been waiting for you~!" a girl with big boobs dashed to them and hugged Killua.

"W-Wha? Let go of me!" he rasped, trying to push the female away from him.

"This Rabbit loves you, master~!" the female coed as she pushed her chest to the boy's face, hugging him tightly. But then she looked at Killua's companions and smiled.

"I also love you two, too!" she grinned while hugging—er, suffocating Killua with her big tits.

Meanwhile, Alyssa pouted while watching how the female hug her friend rather casually. It was somewhat annoying her.

"Usami! You shouldn't do that with our customers, they would be upset." another voice entered the scene as the female called Usami lets go of Killua.

"Oh, boss!" Usami said.

"Please forgive my subordinate's attitude, she is just glad to see kids like you enter the shop." the boss of the café stated to the kids.

"What does that mean?" Gon asked.

The boss bent down and whispered something to the three kids, "This was supposed to be a kid's café...but for some reasons lots of men come here, meaning, our normal customers are all  *beep*."

Killua and Alyssa blushed from that as Gon tilted his head to the side, not knowing that word's meaning.

"Hey Gon, so we're gonna work here?" Killua whispered to him.

"Yeah, so we can get cash quick." Gon whispered back, answering his questions.

"And are you okay with this, Alyssa?" Killua asked his female companion.

But Alyssa adverted his gaze and lightly chuckled. "I-I guess so?"

The silver haired boy grabbed her wrist and began pulling her out of the cafe. "We're out of here!"

"H-Hey Killua! Where are you going?!" Gon yelled.

"To go get another job that we can handle, this one is too dangerous." he says without sparing him a glance.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Usami asked Gon.

"Oh, we were wondering if we could work here just today. We want to get some money before we go to another destination. We're currently broke right now..." he sheepishly smiled.

"You guys...are traveling by yourselves?!" Usami asked as Gon nodded, which made her more surprised.

"What?! Where are you're parents?" she holler out, astounded.

"I see...you three wanted to work here for a day, huh? Alright." the boss said as the children's eyes widened.

"Really? You'll let us?!" Gon's eyes sparkled.

"Yeah, of course. If you do your best, I'll give you the highest payment than the other staffs had, think of this as a handicap as little kids." the boss said.

"What's the highest bid?" Gon asked yet again.

"100,00,000 J." the boss smirked.

'Seriously?' Killua thought as his eyes widened a bit at the payment.

"Hear that, Killua? Let's do it! We won't get anything better than this." Gon suggested, trying to convince him.

Killua was about to speak when a man with white hair entered the café, he had this sneered eyes as Usami walked in front of him.

"Welcome to the Rabbit Cafe~!" she greeted with a bright smile on her face.

"Oh, Usami-chan~! Where should I seat?" the man cooed.

"Over here, Master~" the female said, leading the man towards the table, but then the man hooked its arm around Usami. It made her flinch but then soon relaxed.

"That old man...he touched that Nee-chan, is she okay with that?" Killua asked, watching the female serve the perverted man.

"Yeah. She said that she gotta do it so I can pay her more higher than any employee in this cafe." the boss said.

'What a strong dedication to her job.' Killua thought.

"Kyaah~ stop that, master." Usami playfully says as he touched her breast, he goes up and slid his finger to her stomach.

"D-Don't do that, master..." she blushed, wanting to slap the man but refused herself. The man only grinned to himself, enjoying that he is practically teasing her.

Gon's face has lit up, blushing furiously. Alyssa covered his ears, not wanting him to hear such words.

"Hey, hey now...is that even allowed?" Killua asked, slightly blushing.

"Of course. This place is money making after all. If you please your customer so much, I'll give you a bonus." the boss winked.

"Should we still do this?" Killua asked as Alyssa nodded. "You serious...?"

"We won't get any chances like this, Killua. It'll be the best if we take it." she replied.

"If you're that sure...I guess I can't argue with that." he says as he lightly rubbed the back of his hair.

Alyssa lets go of Gon's ears as he turned to her with a frown, "why did you covered my ears?"

"Nothing really." she smiled.

She grabbed his shoulders and smiled at him, sweetly. "Anyways, we got the job, Gon!"

"Really? That's fantastic!" Gon grinned widely as she smiled.

"Anyways, what's your names, kids? I never got it. My name's Najenda though." the boss said, introducing herself to them.

"My name is Gon Freecss!" the boy wearing all green said.

"Killua Zoldyck." the white haired boy said, putting his hands inside his pockets.

"How about you, little girl?" Najenda asked the female.

"Alyssa...my name is Alyssa, Najenda-san." she smiled at her.

"Alyssa...?" the woman asked.

"Um...what is it?" the little girl said.

"Your last name, my dear. What is it?" Najenda rephrased her question.

Alyssa felt surprised as she adverted her gaze away from hers, "I'm sorry...but I—"

"Camellia! Her last name is Camellia!" Gon yelled, getting in between with the two females.

"What?" Alyssa says, astounded.

"Camellia, huh? So you're full name is Alyssa Camellia, right?" the woman asked her for confirmation.

"Huh? N-No, mam—" but then Killua squeezed her hand as he was the next one to talk in her place.

"Yeah! That's right. Alyssa Camellia is her full name, pretty name, no?" he quickly reasoned out.

"Yeah, I agree with that. It's a very daring name for a cute girl." Najenda smiled, agreeing with him.

Gon looked at Killua as he looked back, they both met each other's gazes.

Gon:
Thanks, Killua. You save me there.

Killua:
No problem, but you owe me an explanation later.

Gon:
Of course!

They both were having a conversation with no words, just an eye contact. They understand each other quite well.

"So how should we do this job?" Killua asked the first steps.

"It's easy, even you kids can do it. You'll just serve the customers, entertaining them, taking their orders, and welcoming them in our cafe. Your interaction with the customers are important! If they like you, I'll give you a push in your allowance. But if they hate you, I'll deduct some points." Najenda explained.

"Hmm, that's quite easy." Killua hummed in reply.

"You can go and change in your uniforms at the staff room, choose anything you want. Make yourselves extra cute, okay?" she winked.

"Yes, thank you for your hospitality." Alyssa says as she was pulled by Killua who dragged her in the dressing room.

"We'll go and change now, then." Gon said as Najenda nodded.

✢✩✦✩✦✩✦✢

"This is somewhat kind of feels great, isn't it?" Gon asked as he was finished wearing the costumes.

"Yeah, I guess. The fabric is nice and comfortable to move in." Killua replied, fixing his bunny ears headband.

Ugh...cute things doesn't fit me. he thought as he looked at himself on the mirror.

Then the door clicked as someone appeared in the rear view of the mirror, it was none other than Alyssa who was wearing a sexy but actually adorable bunny costume.

"You actually look good on those, Alyssa!" Gon complimented her.

"Do I? Thanks...it's kind of embarrassing though." she blushed.

Then Killua turned around and saw Alyssa who was already looking at him, they both blushed and immediately looked away.

"Alyssa..." Killua called as he was looking at a different direction.

"Yes?" she said, her eyes glued on the floor. Her cheeks was stained red.

"Um...how do I say this?" he rubbed the back of his neck, a little shy.

Alyssa raised her chin, looking up to Killua who didn't knew which words to choose to say. But she wanted to hear it, his opinion of how she looks.

"Y-You look cute..." he said while he glanced at her with a blushing face, but then adverted his gaze away.

Alyssa's eyes lit up as she chuckled, "Thank you. You also look good in that bunny costume!"

"Don't go and joke around with me! It's clear that this thing doesn't look cool to me." he rasped as she laughed instead.

"Don't laugh!" he yelled.

Killua turned to Gon as his blush faded away, "Care to explain what happened earlier?"

"Well, Najenda-san asked Alyssa's last name right? We both know that she doesn't have one or might have one that we don't know...so I told her that it's Camellia instead of nothing." he explained.

"Then...what about we give her an last name?!"

Killua's eyes gouged out, flabbergasted. "Are you stupid?! We can't give her an make-believe last name all of sudden!"

"Is that so? But I just thought of a good last name for her." Gon says.

"What is it?"

His lips curved in a smile as it then formed in a cheeky grin, closing his eyes and let out a closed-eye smile.

"Camellia!" Gon cheered.

It's that time... Killua thought, remembering his old conversation with Gon back at the church in YorkNew city.

"Isn't Camellia an good last name?" Gon asked them.

"Sure it's good...but why Camellia?" Alyssa abruptly asked.

"Well, you remind me of a Camellia after all! Your pink hair says so too." Gon smiled.

"Actually, camellia is my favorite flower." Alyssa stated.

"But isn't it an ordinary shrub?" Killua asked.

"Well, yeah...but it's a really pretty flower!" she says.

"Hey, you kids! You ready to work?!" A voice yelled outside, it was from the manager of the café.

"Yes, mam!" Gon yelled back as he run off outside the door.

All it's left is Killua and Alyssa inside the dressing room.

"Let's go as well, Killua." she said as she was about to walk put when he grabbed her wrist, halting her movements.

"Killua...?" she turned around to see him looking worried.

"Are you really sure about this?" he asked her seriously.

"Yes, why did you ask?" she replied as she turned around to face him.

"If some guys tried do something funny, don't hesitate to call me out, okay? I'll deal with them." he said as he tightened his grip on her wrist.

"I understand that you're worried, but..." she got free from his grip as she held his hand with both of her hands and flashed him a huge smile.

"I'll be fine...because you'll surely protect me from the bad guys, right?" Alyssa stated.

He grinned. "Of course, I don't want any pedophiles to go anywhere close to you."

"Then I have nothing to worry, I have you by my side after all." she smiled.

Alyssa tip toed and gave him a quick peck on the check, making Killua blushed furiously.

"I'm really glad that I got to know you, Killua." she said before making a run outside of the dressing room.

Killua touched his cheek, the blush on his face didn't disappeared. He was surprised by the sudden gesture that she just made.

What the heck are you doing to make me feel this way, Alyssa...?
