Chapter 1

"Haaa….. Gonnnnn! I'm bored! AND WE HAVEN'T CAUGHT ANYTHING YET!" Killua complained.

Gon continued to have a firm hold on his fishing pole and kept his eye on the line. The two sat at the edge of the big tree in the swamp, silence filling in between.

"GON!"

Killua's line suddenly earned a hard tug after he called his friend once again, making the silver haired boy lurch forward out of nowhere.

"Ah! You got a bite!" Gon exclaimed, looking over at his friend excitedly.

Killua gripped his pole tighter and gave a hard tug, careful not to fall into the water.

"THIS THING… IS… ANNOYING…!" the boy exclaimed angrily.

Gon immediately pulled his line back and set his own fishing pole down, grabbing onto Killua's hands and pulling at the line with him. Out comes a medium sized fish flying out of the water as the two young boys fell backwards in the tree, the fishing hovering and landing on top of the two.

"And you were saying?" Gon asked, shoving the fish onto Killua's face.

Killua lifted the fish off his face and turned his head to look at Gon, glaring at the green-black haired boy.

"I still want to do something else right now. We've been fishing for the entire morning and finally caught ONE MEASLY FISH!" Gon laughed and sat up, pulling his legs towards his small body.

"Alright then.. what do you want to do?" the boy asked curiously, grabbing his feet as he leaned forward.

Killua sat up and set an elbow onto his new freshly caught fish that was still flopping a little, casually resting his chin on his fist to think out an idea. He continued to frown in thought and pulled up his drooping sleeve that slightly slid off his shoulder, groaning as he did so. Gon stared at the boy curiously and began rocking back and forth, waiting for a response. The assassin's face suddenly brightened up after a minute of silence, sitting up with a straight back and snapping his fingers together.

"A fight."

Gon knitted his eyebrows together confusedly.

"A fight? You do know that we're back on Whale Island, right? There's not much brawling to be done here," the boy pointed out.

Killua closed his eyes with a satisfied looking smile on his face, swishing his index finger side to side in front of Gon.

"No, no. That's not it, Gon. Is there an open field near your house?" he asked, standing up from his sitting position and lifting the fish up.

"Well, yes…. Why?" Gon questioned ignorantly.

Killua gave a low chuckle and motioned Gon towards him with his hand, face earning random cat features.

'Here's the plan….' he began.

Killua whispered something into Gon's ear, earning understanding nods every few seconds. A smile spread across Gon's face, but immediately fell when his head began to overheat and create dark grey smoke. Killua pulled away from his ear and began fanning his head, shaking his own head with a plastered smile on his face.

"Simple, right? I'll explain again on the way back. Now, let's go!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kiyoko hummed to herself a soft melody as she sat outside in the grass, feeling the breeze blow her hair back.

"Kiyoko, have you seen Kurapika anywhere?" Leorio called, walking towards the relaxed girl.

The lavender haired girl looked back behind her and thought a bit.

"The last time I saw him was in Gon's room… He's probably still sleeping or something," Kiyoko said, standing up.

Leorio frowned and clicked his tongue disappointedly.

"Why do you ask, good sir?" the girl asked jokingly, poking the man's arm.

"I'm only twenty… gosh… Talk to me like how you talk to Kurapika and the others," Leorio pouted.

"Well, if you are twenty, you'd be considered a 'young man' and not a teenager in my book. Also, Kurapika-kun is only an age older than me, so of course I'd talk to him normally, hahaha!" the girl laughed, earning a playful nudge from Leorio.

"ANYWAYS…. Kurapika took my briefcase and hid it somewhere. I CAN'T FIND IT!"

Kiyoko shrugged and looked away from the doctor-in-training.

"How about wait until he wakes up? He must've stayed up really late if he's taking a nap right now."

Leorio grunted and frowned, looking away in a pissed off manner.

'Yeah, I wonder why…' he muttered.

A fish suddenly flew at the two as Kiyoko caught the sight of the animal at the corner of her eyes, ducking before it hit her. The fish made hard contact with the black haired man's stomach, making him cough a little from the impact. Kiyoko curiously looked over at the fish and made a face to the man, earning a shrug from him.

"A fish?" Kuromi asked, taking over half the girl's face.

The two young boys suddenly jumped onto Kiyoko's back, hanging onto her neck and shoulders tightly. "WHA-?!"

"KIYOKO! WANT TO DO SOMETHING?" Killua exclaimed, wrapping his arms around her neck.

"D-do what? Ah! K-KILLUA! YOU'RE CHOKING ME..!" Kiyoko exclaimed, pulling at his arms. "G-GON, THAT FEELS WEIRD….!"

The boy loosened his grip from the teen and landed on the grass lightly.

"A fight!" Gon answered.

"Fight? Why? Weren't you fishing?" Kuromi asked, tapping Gon's hands and prompting him to let go.

Killua crossed his arms and pouted, looking away from Kiyoko.

'We got bored of fishing the entire day….' the boy muttered childishly.

"Please? Where's Kurapika? He should participate in this melee too," Gon said, dropping to the ground.

"He's sleeping and I don't want to fight right now…" Kiyoko sighed, walking back to the house to take a shower.

"How about a competition between our nen then?" Killua called after.

Kiyoko waved it off and continued walking towards the house quickly. The kids had a disappointed expression on their faces and looked over to Leorio, waiting for his answer.

"…. Huh? Oh, no! I'm quite busy at the moment! Sorry, guys!" the man answered immediately, quickly walking after Kiyoko with the fish in his hand.

"….. Soooooo, now what, Killua?" Gon asked, looking at the boy next to him.

Killua messed up his already messy hair and sighed once he dropped his arms back down to his sides.

"Plan. Take Kurapika's clothes and switch them with Kiyoko's clothes while she's showering and when he's sleeping," the boy said, smirking evilly.

Gon shrugged and nodded at the suggestion as the two ran back into the house to switch the two's clothes.

Kiyoko stood in the shower tiredly, allowing the water run down her body as she leaned her head onto the wall.

'Are you going to fight them later?' Kuromi asked.

"I don't know, Kuromi, I don't want to hurt them or anything," she said aloud. "But I don't want to disappoint them.."

'If you want, I can take over, if you do?' her counterpart asked brightly.

Killua and Gon carefully opened the door to the laundry room and tiptoed into chamber, grabbing the girl's clean clothes and leaving her undergarments back, running back to the bedroom to take Kurapika's clean clothes and swap his clothing he donned with Kiyoko's clothes.

"Maybe. As long you don't hurt them."

'But it's fighting.. How do I avoid that?' Kuromi asked.

"Good point….." Kiyoko said, huffing a little.

The boys tiptoed over to the sleeping teen and watched him breathe slowly and calmly, chest rising in a rhythm. Gon and Killua nodded at each other and quietly walked on either sides of Kurapika, Killua lifting him up a bit.

'Actually… You lift him up. I'm quicker to change him,' Killua whispered, laying him back down gently.

Gon nodded and lifted up the sleeping boy with little effort, allowing Killua to take off his clothes and put on Kiyoko's. Kurapika moaned and shivered when the air made contact with his bare skin, making him wriggle a little. Gon carefully laid the blond boy back down onto his futon and ran back to the laundry room to leave his traditional Kurta clothing for Kiyoko.

'Play dumb and pretend you don't know anything.. We need to shower too…' Killua whispered, taking off his top shirt and holding it away from himself.

'Right, we smell fishy from that last catch..' Gon said, remembering how they were both crushed by the fish.

Kiyoko turned off the water in the shower and wrapped a towel around her body to dry off, noticing something different about her clothes at the counter.

'What is it now?' Kuromi mumbled, shooting a dirty look at the items.

'….. Killua…. Gon…. You're kidding, right..?' she muttered, picking up Kurapika's clothes carefully.

"Ha…. I wonder what they did to my clothes….." the girl sighed and decided to slip on her undergarments first, sitting down and drying up her hair.

'Are you going to wear Blondie's clothes? You are going to, aren't you..?' Kuromi questioned.

"Does it look like I have a choice?" Kiyoko answered with a question, putting on the oversized bodysuit. "….. It's too big.." Kiyoko muttered, trying to pull up the collar of the shirt.

"Go wear on his…. skirt dress thingy…. His crappy clothes are too big for us AND YOUR CHEST IS BEING EXPOSED!' Kuromi yelled.

"Okay, okay…. And it's not a skirt dress thingy. It's called a talbard. Respect Kurapika-kun for at least a minute?" Kiyoko said, slipping on the blue and gold talbard.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kurapika woke up a few minutes later after the attire exchange, slowly sitting up from bed and running a hand through his messy hair.

'…. My clothes feel different…' the boy thought, cautiously looking down at himself.

"… LEORIO!" the boy yelled angrily.

Kurapika stomped out of the room in Kiyoko's bright cloudy periwinkle loose shirt and baggy golden capris, even wearing her black tank top underneath.

Leorio was sitting in the living room talking to Gon and Killua, unaware of Kurapika's murderous presence.

"LEORIO! DID YOU GO CHANGE MY CLOTHES WHEN I WAS SLEEPING?!" the boy yelled, speed walking over to the table and crossing his arms.

The man looked back behind him and snickered at the sight, trying hard not to let it out.

"… I-I'm sorry, Kurapika, but that looks good on you," Leorio said, struggling to retain his calm demeanor.

Gon and Killua played an innocent face as they listened to Kurapika's raging comments trying hard to remain calm. Kiyoko came out running into the room in Kurapika's white and green full-body training suit and blue and golden talbard to cover up the loose clothing underneath.

"Killua! Gon! Did you guys take my clothes?" the girl asked worriedly.

Everyone turned over to look at the girl clad in the Kurta's traditional clothing, the fabric covering her entire body loosely. Kurapika blushed and looked away from everyone, pulling at his hair awkwardly to hide his face.

"Hm? What do you mean, Kiyoko?" Gon asked, scratching his head while Killua blinked confusedly.

Kuromi took over and crossed her arms across her chest disgustedly, glaring at the boys.

"That.. looks good on you too.. Kiyo- No wait, Kuromi," Leorio said, smirking at the girl.

Kuromi shot a look at the man and sharpened her dark crimson eyes. The man flinches and backed up a bit, intimidated by Kuromi's aura.

"I will grab you down there and twist it until you can't have babies anymore," the girl growled, smirking a bit to intimidate the poor man.

Leorio's face went pale at the statement as the younger boys suppressed a giggle.

"Kurapika…." Kuromi growled, walking over to the boy angrily, "Give us back our clothes."

The boy turned around, unnerved with Kuromi's attitude and threats, giving her an uninterested looked. Kurapika eyed the girl up and down, head to toe, with his hands on his hips, suddenly snickering. Kuromi's eyebrow began to twitch a little in irritation at his reaction and the way he looked.

'Kuromi, calm down… Kurapika-kun was sleeping and wasn't involve.. ish,' Kiyoko told herself, getting ready to take over.

"Well, we're going to shower now! Killua and I smell like fish right now, hehe," Gon said, abruptly standing up from his seat.

The boy ran back to his room to grab their clothes and headed straight to the other bathroom for a bath, Killua at the doorway.

"Let's go, Killua!" the boy exclaimed. "Race you to the shower!"

Killua watched Gon breeze by him quickly in the hall and finally registered the challenge into his head.

"YOU'RE ON!" the young boy accepted, chasing after him with the others listening to their remarks.

The three elder members remained silent for a few seconds and returned to their conversation, looking back at each other.

"KURAPIKA! MY CLOTHES! I'LL RIP YOUR EARRINGS OFF IF I HAVE TO!" Kuromi said in a pissed off attitude, raising up her arm.

Kiyoko took over and grabbed the arm she allowed Kuromi to control, slapping it hard and dominating Kuromi right after.

'OW! What, what?' Kuromi complained rubbing her arm.

"Quit threatening them, Kuro," the amiable girl said, pulling up her sleeve and rubbing her forearm from the sting.

Kurapika grabbed Kiyoko's arm and rubbed it gently to relieve the pain, smiling at her as he did so.

"At least you still have light in yourself," Kurapika suddenly said. "Don't go hurting yourself for others, alright?"

Kiyoko blushed at the gesture and looked away embarrassedly.

"…. Sorry.." she apologized quietly.

Leorio sighed and leaned forward, patting Kiyoko's head.

"Lighten up! It's not your fault! Besides, you both look great in those clothes," Leorio said, nose beginning to bleed.

Kurapika immediately took actions and grabbed the man's face furiously, flames visible around him as he slowly squeezed his cheeks.

'MFFG! MKYY ET OO!' Leorio said into Kurapika's hand, pulling at the boy's arm.

Kiyoko immediately hugged Kurapika's waist and pulled him away a little, the boy finally letting go.

"Don't be a pervert," the Kurta said, keeping the girl away.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Ohayou tte itte.. MESSEEJI o nokoshite.. boku no ichini hajime ni dekakenakya…' Kiyoko sang quietly, swinging her legs at the edge of a tree near the house, perched on the middle branches.

Kurapika sat at the base of the tree and listened to the girl sing as he silently read a book, a smile peacefully spread across his face. Kiyoko's eyes were closed while she minded her business, the two energetic boys hidden above her.

"KI!"

"YO!"

"KO!"

The two boys suddenly popped out of the leaves and branches from above of her, hanging upside down to face her.

"ACK!" the girl yelped, her eyes popping open as she jumped and lost her balance. "A-AHH!"

Kurapika reacted to the girl's high pitched scream and looked up above him to see her hanging upside from her branch, knees locked to keep a good grip.

"BE CAREFUL!" the chain user called, setting down his book and standing up just in case she lost her grip.

The girl looked at the boy and gave a small reassured, but worried smile. Kiyoko looked back up to Gon and Killua, lifting up her upper body a bit to get a better look. The young boys grinned at her and sat back up right on their branch, looking down at the girl playfully.

"Can we all have a small fight now?" Killua asked innocently.

"I want to train!" Gon piped up.

Kiyoko sighed and messed up her hair even though she was upside down, touching her bangs where her braided fringe would always be.

'Kiyoko, you didn't braid your hair. Remember that,' Kuromi reminded.

'Thanks for telling me..'

"Why don't you both train and brawl then?" the girl asked curiously.

Killua pouted as Gon smiled nervously at the girl.

"Why don't we?" Gon questioned Killua stupidly.

"Cause I want to battle with someone different. We've always trained with each other, so why not?" Killua responded casually.

Kiyoko released her grip from the tree branch and did a back handspring once her hands made contact with the ground. The girl took a step backwards and began losing her balancing, Leorio quickly grabbing her wrist and pulling her before she fell.

"Uwah! … Err.. Thank you, Leorio-san," the girl said.

"Just Leorio, Kiyoko," the man said smirking, pushing her over to Kurapika.

Gon and Killua exchanged mischievous grins to each other and jumped off the tree, landing on the ground and running over to the two. Gon ran over behind Kiyoko as Killua ran behind Kurapika, the two young children jumping up and shoving the two towards each other.

"NOW KISS!" they both exclaimed excitedly.
