Chapter 6
Gon and Killua ran after Kiyoko and chased her towards Leorio who was getting ready to grab her. The girl smiled while everyone laughed at the entire shenanigan, enjoying themselves to the fullest.
"Switch!" Kiyoko said as she took out her staff from her waist.
The girl's hair dyed red streaks and highlights in her lavender hair as her eyes grew deeper and sharper. Kuromi used the staff in her hand to pole vault over the man's head, soaring gracefully despite her messy cold appearance and rude demeanor.
"Haa?!" Leorio exclaimed.
Kuromi smirked at the man and swiftly tripped him, kicking his feet off the ground.
"WAH!"
Leorio landed on his bum and winced at the impact, standing up slowly and rubbing at it.
"Be less aggressive next time!" the man called, trying to smile at the hateful girl.
Kuromi's stopped smirking as she stared at the boy with surprise. Everyone was smiling at her a real smile and not giving her the usual glare or cold shoulder, except Gon of course. The corners of Kuromi's mouth twitched upwards involuntarily and revealed a calm sincere smile the girl never shared.
"Ah! She smiled!" Gon exclaimed.
Kuromi shook her head and leaped into the tree before her, switching back to Kiyoko unnoticed. The girl quickly splattered ink all around the tree to use as decoy, the boys freaking out by the harmless ink. Kurapika sighed and shot his dowsing chain at the girl to drag her out. Unaware of the hidden chain line, the girl took a deep breath and felt something wrap around her right arm quickly.
"?!"
Kiyoko suddenly lurched forward quickly and flew out of her hiding spot. The Kurta had tugged at the chain he possessed and pulled the girl out of the tree, remaining at his spot and catching her right after.
"AHH!" the girl exclaimed, landing safely in the older boy's arms.
Gon and Killua jumped at the girl after she landed and grabbed onto her arm, leaning over at the two.
"Got you!" they both exclaimed excitedly, grinning brightly at Kiyoko.
Kiyoko chuckled and ruffled their heads softly and affectionately, as Kurapika smiled at the sight before him. Leorio grinned and rested his hand on top of the girl's head, making her flinch a little.
"Now can we have a fight?" Killua asked, breathing hard from all the running.
Gon's brown eyes were wide as marbles, sparkling with excitement. The girl didn't want to delay their requests any longer and hesitantly nodded an okay.
"Yay!" the children exclaimed.
Kiyoko smiled at their reactions, but sighed mentally at the decision she made. Kuromi perked up the moment Kiyoko released her breath.
'What, what?' Kuromi asked. 'Do you want me to take over?'
Kiyoko looked at her wrist and that back up at Kurapika innocently, silently sending a message to him to unwrap the chain.
'Sure... We'll alternate when needed. I feel stress taking over my body right now,' Kiyoko replied.
Kurapika noticed the girl staring and smiled at her, a blush spreading on his face. The girl, once again, looked at the chain wrapped tightly on her right arm and then fixed her tired gaze back at the boy.
"Did it wrap a little too tight for you?" Kurapika asked, grinning sheepishly.
Kiyoko reached up and poked the Kurta's cheek and smiled.
"Just a little."
Kurapika returned the the blanket and sat down, leaving the girl in his lap as he unwrapped the dowsing chain from her arm. The boy then rubbed lightly at her arm after fulling getting the chain off, seeing left over marks.
"Whoops.. It was more than a little too tight.." the boy said, noting the left over chain marks on her wrist.
"It's alright. Not your fault at all!" Kiyoko said, awkwardly laughing it off.
Gon and Killua smirked at the two and sat down on either sides of them playfully. The two young boys suddenly tackled the teens and hugged them both, keeping them locked together.
"CONFESSION TIMEEEEE!" Gon exclaimed.
"You know you want to!" Killua added.
"Didn't we already do that?!" Kiyoko asked as she got crushed.
"Let's just start the damn fight already!" Kurapika exclaimed, holding the girl closer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ready... steadyyyyy... GO!" Gon exclaimed brightly, everyone leaping away from their position.
Killua ran after Leorio quickly, the man not catching the boy due to his speed.
"Crap... Where'd he go?" Leorio said, stepping back.
The boy suddenly appeared behind him and used his Lightning Palm on the man's back, shocking him immediately. Gon took off after the assassin and redirected himself towards Kiyoko's direction, dashing over to her spot.
"Jan.. ken... pon...!" the boy began to chant, his nen gather at his fist.
'Damn! He's fast!' the girl thought nervously.
"Saisho wa GUU!"
The boy swung his attack at the older girl, Kiyoko quickly sliding out of the way. Kurapika used his dowsing chain and grabbed Kiyoko's ankle, trying to drag her back into the combat range.
"Haa?!" the girl exclaimed. "Double teaming on me now?!"
Meanwhile with Leorio and Killua, Leorio was being deceived by the young boy's Shadow Step, trying to look for the real Killua to attack. The man quickly used his Ultrasound to detect the boy and punch the ground before getting up. The boy noticed Leorio staring at him instead of his illusions and decided to run in and attack him, using his speed to his advantage. Leorio immediately reacted and dodged Killua's punches and kicks, grabbing his leg once it contacted his palm.
"UWAH!" Killua said as he was swung to the floor.
Leorio took the chance to use his Warp Punch on Killua's vulnerable state and landed a direct hit on his stomach. The boy was sent flying a few feet away from the spot he was at and landed hard on the ground, sliding and rolling on the grass and dirt.
'Take over yet or no?' Kuromi asked.
'NOW'S NOT A GOOD TIME!' Kiyoko exclaimed, running off after she removed the chain on her ankle with her nen.
Gon began to give chase to the girl as Kurapika's dowsing chain continued to fly at her and whip all around the place. Nearing where Killua was standing after his harsh impact with the ground, Kiyoko looked at the boy apologetically and used Puppeteer's Strings to take control over him, drawing the kanji for control swiftly at him.
"W-wha?" he said.
The boy was then instructed to run directly into Gon and give him a good shock from his palms by Kiyoko. Gon tried resisting to the electric shock and kept moving, his legs feeling like boulders.
"Ngghhh!"
"Sorry, Killua, but I'm going to need to borrow your body quickly!" Kiyoko apologized.
"HA?! WHY MEEEEE?!" the boy asked from afar.
Kurapika's chain suddenly snapped next to the girls writing hand, missing by a centimeter once she moved the brush a little for Killua to kick Gon. Kiyoko stuck her calligraphy brush out at the chain, drawing a long line of ink as it declined back to the owner. She then wrote control again and was now in control of Killua and the chain, directing more of her aura towards the chain than the boy. Kiyoko swiftly made the chain wrap around Gon and Killua, binding them together before fully releasing her control on Killua and the dowsing chain.
"Ah! HEY," Killua exclaimed.
"This doesn't feel right!" Gon yelled, squirming violently.
Leorio suddenly ran up from behind Kiyoko and tripped her. The man knocked away her calligraphy brush before she got the chance to control anything else.
"Oh snap!"
Kiyoko rolled away before Leorio landed another hit on her and took out her wooden staff to block the remain punches he gave.
"You're wide open!" Leorio exclaimed, punching the ground again where he laid another Warping Punch.
The girl's eyes opened up wide with shock as pain shot through her body, the wind being knocked out of her. Kiyoko coughed several times after falling to her knees, wiping at her chin after she stopped.
"Not bad.." the girl commented, earning a smirk from Leorio.
Kiyoko took the chance to turn into a Lynith and ran off quickly to retrieve her brush. Gon shot another round of his aura at the girl using rock once again as Killua fought with Kurapika, their speed being displayed immensely.
"?!"
Kiyoko reacted by pulling her scythe-like tail in front of her and taking the hit directly.
"Your tail is pretty strong..." the boy winced, rubbing his fist.
Kiyoko knocked the boy out of the way with her tail and returned back to human form, her tail and ears still visible.
"You're punches hurt like crazy!" Kiyoko exclaimed, holding on to her white tail.
Leorio suddenly swung a punch at the girl only to get dodged and hit back by the girl.
"Kuromi!" Kiyoko called.
The two switched places as Kuromi use Beast's Dimension, splattering ink all over the place and draw lines in the air to summon beasts and creatures. Leorio flinched at the number of creations the girl made with all the portals she created from the world of drawing and writing. Her wrist was still up until the very last creature was created, finally flicking it downwards to attack.
'Go.'
The ink creatures obeyed and chased after Gon and Leorio, some of the beasts being able to land hits on the two. The two boys began to fight back the creatures, trying to find their weak spots as fast as they could and escaped the mob of ink. Kurapika continued to swing his dowsing chain around to his opponent, Killua, landing a few quick hits a few seconds each time. Kuromi noticed the two and smirked quickly used Shadow's Call and drew a cat on the ground and stepping away. Both Killua and Kurapika got caught in the kitty doodles, their movements being delayed.
"C-CATS?" the two asked.
"Well, why not?" Kuromi responded.
The Kurta swung his chain and knocked the brush out of Kuromi's hand and, not knowing that it would mean and do nothing. The girl casually sat down and grinned mischievously at the two.
"Your eyes remind Kiyo and I cat eyes and you have random cat features when you're pranking someone," the girl pointed out.
"How come this trap hasn't disappear yet?!" Killua asked, the boys struggling to get out.
"Ah. Did I tell you about this? I don't need the brush after I created something," Kuromi said in a hushed voice. "They have their own control, but go by my order, attack or trap."
"HAA!" Leorio exclaimed punching a few more of her creations and dissolving some of them.
"Saisho wa guu!" Gon exclaimed, destroying those in his way.
'Those two are wracking it up over there...' Kurapika muttered staring at the two awkwardly.
Killua and Kuromi nodded at his statement and continued to watch.
"Was that a bit too much?" Kuromi asked considerately, surprising the two boys next to her.
'Did she just saying that?!' Killua and Kurapika thought.
Kuromi noted the shrinking pool of ink and stood up to grab her brush a few feet away.
"They're halfway through the mob," Kuromi said as she sat back down.
The girl held her brush back up and stayed in that position for a few seconds. The two boys looked at her carefully and waited for her to do something, lowering their guards afterwards from staying still for too long.
"Just kidding," the girl said, drawing more lines in the air and creating more of her ink creations.
Birds perched on Kurapika and Killua's heads as the trap was almost fully gone, the two groaning a little. Kuromi stood up as her creatures surrounded her obediently.
"Oh look, your time's up. Go ahead and attack them," the girl instructed casually, walking away and over to a tree.
The creatures began to attack the two freed boys on command only to get destroyed within a few seconds.
"KUROMIIIII!" Leorio exclaimed after finishing the last of her creation.
'Oh dear..' Kuromi thought.
The man attacked the girl and missed, leaving him wide open. Kuromi kicked him out of her face and into Gon, switching back to Kiyoko. Kiyoko took control over Leorio and Gon, the control being a little weaker than usual.
"Annnnnndddd... dance!" the girl said, swinging her brush like a conductor. the two began to involuntarily dance on the girls command.
"WHYYYYYYYY?" Leorio exclaimed.
"Ahh? Wheeee!" Gon said.
Kurapika and Killua smiled hesitantly at the two and stood out awkwardly.
"Ah? Want to join, you two?" Kiyoko asked.
"NO THANKS!" the both exclaimed.
