Ehh these clothes are a little scratchy." A young man named Gon frowns at himself in the mirror as he scratches at his chest that's covered with a troublesome martial. He's never had to wear such a thing in his life. Back on his island the only thing he would wear was a leafy cover over his neither regions and sometimes not even that. This is just another thing he's going to have to get use to. The city is nothing like his island.

Gon stops scratching himself when he sees the letter he hung on the mirror. His amber eyes get filled with a fire and his black bushy tail starts to wag. An excitement is building up and he just has to read the letter for the 15th time today.

" Dear Gon,

We have gotten your application on wanting to be a hunter. I'm sorry to say that we can't hire someone who doesn't have any experience as a working dog. To build your experience and your reputation I have set up a job for you as a guard dog in yorknew city. You must travel to yorknew and be signed into your apartment by Wednesday. If not i'll figure that you didn't want the job. In yorknew you will be attending their institute of magic. I will send your application to the school and notify them as to what you are and your job. They'll understand. You must maintain your grades as well as protect your target. Now let me tell you who you are protecting. His name is Kurapika Kuruta. He is the last living vampire. I'm sure you're not too educated in your history so i'll give you a short summary. A long time ago the humans decided that vampires were an evil race and needed to be eliminated. For years vampires were hunted and killed and since vampires have particular mating needs they didn't populate as fast as they were being destroyed. Kurapika was only a young boy when his family was killed. They hid him under the floor and kept him safe. After the massacre, the humans stopped their killing, thinking they killed them all. Kurapika is the only one remaining and lets just say he has quite a grudge against the humans, more specificity the group called the spiders who were in charge of the massacre. Now, since Kurapika is the only vampire left, he get s a lot of attention. Bad attention. His body parts are rare and will sell high on the black market. Normally we wouldn't intervene but it seems that Kurapika has killed one of the spiders and has earned their mark. We can't let Kurapika die, he's the last of his kind. It's our job to protect endangered species. Gon, you must protect Kurapika with your life. As a guard dog you must ensure his safety. Kurapika doesn't know about you or about what you are. You must use your skills to get close to him without giving away what you are. Your kind isn't well liked in yorknew so it's better if you hide what you are from everyone. If you are able to complete this job then I will hire you as a hunter. Enclosed I have the directions to your apartment and the school from there. Good luck to you Gon."

The teenage boy lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding once he finishes reading. This is the opportunity he's been waiting for. Once he completes this job he'll be a hunter just like his father. Then he'll be closer to finding him. Gon is sure of it. The raven haired male is also very excited about this job. Even though it's not a hunting job, a guard dog sounds like it could be interesting too. Gon has never been outside of his island so just the fact he's exploring this new place is so amazing to him. And he's going to meet a real life vampire! He can't wait! He wonders if this vampire can't eat garlic like in the stories? Or if he can turn into a bat? Gon's tail wags as he thinks of all the possibilities before he shakes his head.

He has to stay focused right now. Gon glances at the clock, his eyes widening when he sees the time. He's going to be late for his first day! Gon is about to run out of the apartment only to stop when he sees his tail and ears still visible on him. That's right I need to hide it... Gon takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. His eyebrows furrow as he wills his tail and ears away, he feels his body change before he opens his eyes. It's strange seeing himself without his ears and tail. He really looks like a human. Gon smiles and it shows his teeth. This is going to be so much fun.

Gon runs out of the apartment and down the stairs, holding nothing but the piece of paper the man sent him with the directions to the school. It says if he just goes down this hard path he'll reach it soon enough. Gon races down the path, taking in all the different smells and the buildings as he goes. It's really wondrous. Gon hopes he'll have time to explore later.

Gon smiles at every person he sees and waves. Most the time the humans just pass him while other times they just stare. There's so many people here and it looks like they're all humans! A couple of humans lived on his island but they sort of kept to themselves. This is completely new.

Gon frowns slightly. He's a lot slower on two feet then he is four. But if he ran on four they could tell what he is. Maybe. Gon doesn't know but he can already see the humans are giving him strange looks as he whizzes past them.

As Gon keeps running down the path he notices there's no more humans around, and the path has gotten narrow. Gon stops running, his eyes widening and a gasp leaving his lips. He's never seen a building so big. It sparkles in the sun, the mirrors reflecting the light. Gon glances over at the stone sign that says 'institute of magic.' Gon's chest wells up with pride. He had found it. This is it. His first job.

Gon can't help to skip into the building, if he had his tail out it would be wagging. "Wow!" Gon gasps, taking in the shinny white floors and walls, he can see his reflection in the floor! Gon stares at the hallway for a moment before a bell sounds off, getting him to tense and to look around curiously. What does the bell mean? Gon frowns when he sees all the doors...where is he suppose to go again? Gon pulls out the paper from his pocket, looking at the schedule that guy sent him.

His first class is something herbals in room 303. Gon looks at the door next to him that has a number of 101. Not around here then...Gon runs down the hallway, looking between all the doors as he does so. They all say hundred and something. How is he going to find his room? This hallway seems to go on and on...

Gon runs past this open door only to stop when his sensitive ears pick up something. Talking. Someone is in that room. Maybe he could ask for help! Gon turns back and is about to walk into the room only to stop.

"Look who's all alone. Where's your brother? Not hiding behind him today?" A large man with horns coming out of his head smirks down at this young girl with long black hair. She glares up at this man, hugging books to her chest, but those blue eyes hold a little fear.

"He's not here today." She glances guilty at her shoes for a moment before looking back up at his man. He has hooves for feet and a pointed tail that's swishing back and forth. "I don't want any trouble. I just want to go to my classes-"

"but I never get you alone." The man's smile falls and his eyes get dark. "If you think I'm just going to let you walk out of here unscarred you're as stupid as you are evil." He growls before he shoves the girl, her falling on her butt with a yelp.

"Hey!" Gon growls, seeing enough. He marches into the room, both the girl and this man looking over at him in confusion. "Leave her alone!" Gon glares at his man, baring his teeth.

"Who the hell are you?" The man turns his eyes away from the girl, a vein sticking out of his head. "This isn't any of your business kid so get the hell out of here before I kick both your asses-"

In a blink of an eye Gon is right in front of this man, he pushes him with all his strength and tips over the 2 ton monster. The man looks up at him with wide eyes before his face gets a deep red, steam coming out of his nose. "How do you like it when someone shoves you? You should pick on someone your own size."

"R-Run!" The girl behind him suddenly gets up and grabs Gon's hand. She runs out of the room, dragging Gon along. Gon blinks, not understanding why in till he sees that man get up, his face a dangerous shade of red and he drags his hooves against the ground like Gon has seen many of the bulls do on the island before they charge.

Gon wants to tell the girl he can handle this guy but at the same time he doesn't want to risk her getting hurt so he runs with her and allows the girl to pull him into a closet. Gon listens with his sensitive ears as the guy runs pass them. They lost him.

"That was close." The girl sighs, putting a hand to her heart before those blue eyes seem to look at him for the first time. "Why did you help me?" She seems almost...suspicious.

"Because he was being mean to you." Gon cross his arms over his chest, those amber eyes looking into deep blue. "I could tell he was planning on doing something bad too." I could sense it.

This girl stares at him a moment, the two of them just standing in a closet together. She leans closer and inspects his face before she pulls away. Her eyes light up. "Ah you're new aren't you?"

"Yup! I just started today." Gon smiles at her.

"That explains it." This girl smiles strangely. "You don't know who I am yet. You wouldn't have helped me if you knew..."

"Sure I would of. I don't know what you're talking about but I can tell you're a good person." Gon smiles before he holds out his hand. "My name is Gon Freeces, what's yours?"

"...Alluka." Her blue eyes brighten a bit before she glances away. "Brother told me I shouldn't talk to strangers."

"I'm not a stranger now! You know my name!" Gon beams. "Hey Alluka, could you help me? I can't find my first class." Gon sticks out his tongue sheepishly as he hands her his schedule. She looks at it slowly before a smile comes to her lips.

"Of course you can't find it. We have to take the elevator up." She smiles. "It looks like we have the same first class!"

"Yay!" Gon cheers. "That's great. I can already tell we're going to be great friends."

Alluka eyes light up and she smiles. "Friends..." She says it like it's a foreign word before she starts to bounce up and down. "I made a friend! I have to tell brother when I get home! oh..." She frowns slightly. "He's going to be mad I came here without him though..."

"Why's that?" Gon gets out of the closet and holds the door open for her. He follows her lead since he doesn't know where he's going.

"He's worried about people like that guy trying to hurt me. Big Brother is really protective of me." Alluka smiles talking about her brother before she sighs, shaking her head. "But I'm growing up and I want to have some independence. He worries too much really. I don't want to have to hide in fear all the time. I want to go to school and enjoy my classes. Still, he's going to throw a fit."

"Your brother sounds like a nice person." Gon smiles at her. "He might be over protective but that's how big brothers are! I think. I don't know. I've always wanted one." Gon locks eyes with Alluka's blue. "And it seems he has a right to be worried. That guy was going to hurt you." Gon frowns. "Why would people try to hurt you?"

Alluka doesn't answer his question. She just keeps walking, leading him. She stops when she sees a group of people waiting by the elevator. They all turn and look at them with glares on their faces. Gon smiles and waves, not sensing the atmosphere.

"Lets take the stairs." Alluka turns and heads up the stairs, Gon following after her. Those people are whispering amongst themselves, staring at the two.

"Wow this place is so big and shinny." Gon can't help to say after he stares at his own reflection as he walks up the stairs.

"Yeah." Alluka giggles when she looks back and sees the look on Gon's face. "It's not as big as my home though-"

"Your house is bigger than this?!" Gon shouts, looking at her with his mouth wide open. She giggles again.

"A little bit." She smiles knowingly as they make their way up to the third floor.

"Wow." Gon thinks about his small shack on the island. "My home is the size of one of these rooms maybe."

"That's really small." She frowns slightly. "Where do you come from?"

"Ah...around here." Gon can't tell her he came from his island. Then she would know what he is. Alluka doesn't say much as as she leads him down the hallway.
"Do you live around here?"

"Sort of." Alluka fiddles with her fingers. "I don't know if I should talk about it anymore."

"That's fine." Gon smiles reassuringly. "You don't have to tell me anything you don't want!" Gon looks around and sighs in relief when he sees they've reached the three hundreds. "So what is this class about?"

"Pretty much about making potions." Alluka watches Gon's eyebrows furrow. "It's a mixture that can either heal or hurt someone."

"Why do we need to learn about that?" Gon tilts his head. Whenever he needs to heal he just has to lick his wound. It takes a little time but but it heals quicker. Also... "Can't only witches do potions?" Gon remembers Mito reading him that story about the three witches.

Alluka stares at him like he's grown two heads. "Witches are usually better at doing potions but anyone can make them." Alluka tilts her head, staring at him. "What school did you go to before this?"

"Ahhh..." Gon looks away from Alluka, not liking that he can't just be open. Gon didn't know there were other schools. He didn't even know about this school till a couple of days ago. "Oh look there's room 303!" Gon's eyes brighten when he sees the door and he smiles at Alluka. "We made it! Thank you. I would have never found it without your help."

"No problem...Maybe we could walk together again tomorrow. I could introduce you to my brother." Alluka has a strange smile on her face but Gon pays no mind to it. He's too excited with the fact that his first class is right in front of him. This is it. The beginning of his job.

"Sure i'd like that." Gon smiles at Alluka before he opens the class room door, both of the teenagers walking into the class room. The teacher up front stops talking and all the students turn to look at them. "Hi! I'm Gon Freeces!" Gon waves eagerly. He gets some strange looks while others are smiling at him. Gon searches the room for Kurapika. He doesn't know what the vampire is going to look like but he has this feeling that he'll know him when he sees him.

"Ah you're the new student. Just take your seat, class started 20 minutes ago." The teacher snarls, she has sharp teeth and long claws. Gon is pulled by Alluka towards the back, this seems to change the atmosphere and everyone is staring at them, glaring. Gon tilts his head. I guess they're all mad that we're late.

Alluka sits down in the corner and Gon sits behind her. He glances at the empty seat beside him before looking up towards the front. The teacher goes back to talking but Gon can't really focus. He doesn't understand what she's talking about anyway. Something about formulas and ingredients...Gon looks around the room, his eyebrows furrowing. None of these people seem like vampires to him and no one really sticks out. Maybe Kurapika isn't in this class?

Gon starts to bounce his leg restlessly, still glancing around the room. When his eyes fall on Alluka, she's writing something on a piece of paper and listening intently. Gon tries to listen to the teacher as well but he really doesn't get what she's talking about. It's making his head hurt. IF Gon wasn't so anxious to find the vampire he would probably take a nap.

The bell rings and everyone gets out of their seats. Gon jumps up, almost barking he's so happy. He needs to keep moving. "Yay class is over!" Gon walks over to Alluka who is packing up her things. He doesn't notice the glare he gets from the teacher.

"I'm guessing you didn't like it?" Alluka giggles at the boy. "That's disappointing. This is one of my favorite classes."

"I just didn't understand any of it." Gon admits sheepishly. "It was making my head hurt."

"What class do you have next?" Alluka looks at Gon's schedule when he handed it over. "Aw you have art next. We don't have it together. But by the looks of your schedule it looks like we'll have the rest of the classes except English together!" She smiles. "If you go down this hallway you'll come across the art room."

"Okay thanks! I'll see you later then Alluka!" Gon beams before he runs out of the room and down the hallway, a couple of people yelling at him when he bumped into them. He's too excited. The vampire has to be in his next class. His employer wouldn't put him in all classes that didn't have the vampire in them. His job is to watch over him after all.

Gon looks down at his paper only to screech to a stop when he sees he's passed the room number. He runs into the room, his amber eyes taking in all the people who are sitting in seats already. The teacher isn't here yet so he made it on time! Gon feels pride well up in his chest only for someone to knock him to the side trying to get in. Gon doesn't pay any mind to it as he looks around at all the faces. Kurapika...vampire...His amber orbs stop when they fall on a man sitting in the front. Gon can't help to think he's beautiful. He has long blonde hair and light blue eyes, and his face is stuck in a blank expression. He sits with his back straight and his hands on his desk. As soon as Gon saw him he knew. This has to be him. He feels it. Gon quickly runs over and snags the seat next to the blonde, kicking his feet happily he made it before anyone else. Gon is sure this man has a lot of friends so he's lucky to get this seat.

"Hi!" Gon smiles over at the blonde, his eyes brightening up in excitement for meeting his target and the fact he's talking to the last vampire. The blonde doesn't look at him. He keeps looking forward. "I'm a new student here and my name is Gon." Gon keeps smiling at the blonde, waiting for a response. When the blonde doesn't even blink, Gon looks forward, trying to see what he's staring at. There's nothing but a blank board in front of them.

"So this is an art class..." Gon looks around and he can't help to feel confused when he sees everyone is sitting in the back. No one has come to sit in the front but them. "Do you like art?" Gon tilts his head over at the blonde.

Kurapika slowly turns his head, those blue eyes looking at him for the first time. Gon can't help to stare, and he wonders if Kurapika has hypnotic powers like in the story book. Gon tries to think of something that will protect him but he's at a lost. He's just happy that Kurapika is finally looking at him. "If you're looking friends, I'm not the person you should be talking to. Go sit back there and make conversation. If you don't find a circle to be in, you will not survive in this school." Kurapika looks back to the front, his face never changing.

"Can't I be in your circle?" Gon tilts his head. "Why shouldn't I be talking to you?"

"You must have a bad judge of character." Kurapika sighs lightly. "I have no circle. I am my own circle."

"Well can I just join you? We could be our own circle!" Gon beams, not really getting what shapes have to do with survival but he knows he wants to be closer to Kurapika so he wants to be circle.

"The purpose of a circle is protection and for finding your place. If you were to join me I would not be able to watch after you and you would not find your place. If you've noticed everyone but you is keeping their distance from me."

"Why?" Gon's eyebrows furrow when he looks back and sees people talking among themselves before they look at him.

"Just stay away. I don't have time to baby sit." Kurapika turns his eyes forward again.

"I'm not a baby." Gon puffs his cheeks out. "I want to be a circle with you Kurapika!" Gon gives this man a stubborn look.

"The term is be in a circle and..." Kurapika glances over only to be caught by Gon's big amber eyes, full of hope and light. Kurapika quickly looks away, his hard expression falling slightly. "You seem like a nice boy." Kurapika looks down at his hands. "That's why I'm telling you to go away."

"But I want to stay. I want to be your friend." Gon moves his desk closer to the vampire. He will not take no for an answer. Once he laid eyes on Kurapika he knew he liked him. Just like he knew he liked Alluka.

Kurapika doesn't respond to him and his eyes go back to the front as a man walks in. He looks annoyed as he looks between all the people before his eyes land on Gon. "Great. A new one." He groans as he grabs a stack of paper and starts to hand them out. "Since we have a new student I want you all to draw something. This way I can measure the skills you learned and see what this guy can do."

Gon tilts his head at the blank piece of paper that has been laid in front of him. He's also gotten a pencil and crayons. He glances over at Kurapika and notices he's already gotten started on something. Gon looks back at his paper. He's never drawn In his life. There was a school on his island but there wasn't an art class. Gon grabs the pencil, it feeling strange in his hand. When was the last time he wrote something? Gon puts the pencil tip against the paper, his eyebrows furrowing, trying to think of what to draw. He decides on drawing his foxbear at home. He hums to himself as he sketches out his friend, remembering his soft fur and the fun times he had raising him.

Gon glances over when he's done to see what Kurapika did. His eyes widen when he sees that he drew a picture of a young boy with brown hair. He has a soft smile on his face. "Wow that's really good!" Gon beams at Kurapika, getting the blonde to tense. He glances over at Gon, seeing how earnest he is before he looks down at his picture. Gon's not sure but he thinks there may be a slight smile on Kurapika's lips. "Look at mine!" Gon hands over his drawing. Kurapika looks over only to blink. His lips twitch and he's sure he's smiling now. "Good huh?"

Before Kurapika can say anything the teacher grabs his drawing from his hands and looks at it himself. The man wrinkles his nose before looking at Gon like he took a bite out of a lemon. Gon just smiles at him. "I didn't know what to draw but I-"

"This is not drawing." The teacher holds up his paper for all to see. The class starts to snicker, whispering to themselves. Gon tilts his head. He doesn't see anything funny about his drawing.

"I'm sorry sir but that is a drawing. I used this pencil right here." Gon smiles trying to correct the confused man. His face gets red soon after and Kurapika frowns.

"Looks like we have a smart ass." The man's eyes flash yellow before he takes a deep breath. "My two year old can draw better than this. You drew two circles overlapping each other and...what is this squiggly line suppose to be?!"

"His teeth!" Gon's eyebrows furrow. "I thought that was obvious." Gon glances behind him when there's more giggling from his class mates. He looks over at Kurapika who is covering his mouth. Gon can't tell if he's smiling or frowning. Gon is just so confused.

"They sent me a demon." The man starts to rub at his temples, his breathing spiking. "They're trying to make me quit, sending me my worse nightmare. I told them to only send me students serious about art!" He's mumbling under his breath. "Have you ever been to an art class before?" The man addresses Gon once again.

"Um...no?" Gon blinks when this man falls to his knees.

"So this wasn't a joke...you really..." The man frowns. "You need help. I need to help you. Are you some kind of illiterate beast? What kind of creature are you?" The man's piercing yellow eyes fall on Gon and he tenses-

"That's quite rude." Kurapika speaks up, removing his hand from his mouth, his eyes narrowing. "You are well aware that hiding what we are is curtail for survival and also to fit in. I think you were out of line to ask him such a thing."

"...But i'm a teacher." The man mumbles but he sinks into himself when Kurapika says something. The class starts to mumble, looking at Kurapika and then looking at Gon. "And he's going to most likely expose himself sooner or later. Just look at him."

"Look at what?" Gon tries to look down at himself as if he could see what he was talking about. The class giggles again.

"My point exactly."

"Whether he does or not is not your call to judge." Kurapika hands his drawing to the teacher. "Eat this. You get angry when your hungry."

Gon's eyes widen when this man makes a sucking sound and the drawing comes off the page and he eats it! Gon has never seen such a thing. This guy eats drawings?

"So delicious. You never disappoint." The man seems to brighten back up. "So deep with a hint of longing and-"

The bell rings.

Kurapika gets up and quickly makes his way out of the class room. "Wait!" Gon gets up quickly, knocking over his desk in the process. He runs to catch up to Kurapika who is walking at a steady pace.

"Why are you following me?" Kurapika's voice has gone back to being passive. " Class is over, you should start heading to your next one."

"I wanted to talk to you more." Gon pulls out his schedule and looks at his next class. "It says I have history next in room 308 with Mr. L?"

Kurapika's eyebrows furrow, those blue eyes having conflicting emotions. "I have the same class as well."

"Then we can walk together!" Gon beams, hopping happily along beside Kurapika.

"I suppose." Kurapika says after awhile. Gon doesn't like the distance he feels Kurapika is keeping him at. The blonde doesn't make eye contact with him much either. "You really shouldn't be hanging around me...Gon was it?" He glances at Gon and he nods his head quickly, smiling. Kurapika looks away. "I have a bad reputation. People are already starting to talk." Kurapika glances at a group of people in the hallway staring at them. "I would hate for you to get dragged into it. I know you just don't understand. You're new. You're a kind kid. I just rather be alone."

"Why do you have a bad reputation? And what's so bad about people talking? We're talking. I guess I don't understand...so could you explain it to me? I swear I'm a fast learner." Gon smiles when Kurapika comes to a stop in front of their next class. Kurapika stares at the door for a moment, that conflicting look in his eyes.

"You'll never be able to make friends here easily and you will get enemies. Do you really want that? I can't explain everything to you...I don't know you and I won't trust you." Kurapika still doesn't' look at Gon. "If you stay around me, you can not blame me for the damage it causes." that's all Kurapika says before he walks into the classroom. Gon follows close behind him, frowning to himself. Kurapika doesn't trust him. Well they did just meet but Gon trust Kurapika. He can just tell he's a good person. He doesn't understand what damage could be caused by staying around him and Kurapika didn't explain it to him but he feels like it doesn't matter.

Gon is going to stay by Kurapika's side and protect him. He will be a good guard dog. He will be a good friend.

"Gon!" The raven haired male blinks and he looks around the class room. His eyes brighten up when he sees Alluka waving with both her hands, sitting in the corner.

"Alluka!" Gon runs over to her, wanting to lick her face in greeting but he holds that instinct back. You always lick your friends at his place. Of course he only licked Mito but now he's met knew people around his age.

"How was art?" She smiles, kicking her feet. Gon notices she has a stuffed rabbit on her desk.

"It was good. I found out the art teacher can eat drawings! How cool is that!" Gon beams before he glances over at Kurapika. The blonde is staring at him with wide eyes before they slowly go back to normal.

"You really don't have good judgment." Kurapika says quietly as he sits down. Gon frowns at him sitting so far away. He looks at Alluka who is looking at him curiously.

"Hey Alluka could we sit over there with him?"

"You want to sit next to Kurapika?!" Alluka speaks loudly, her eyebrows furrowing. She gets a stern look on her face. She glances over at Kurapika before looking back at Gon. "You know the spiders are out to get him right?" She whispers. "Anyone near him is in danger of being attacked. You shouldn't get near him..." She watches Gon frown and she frowns herself. "I know but he put it on himself. Brother told me he killed one of them...He told me to stay away from him and you should too."

"Is that why everyone is keeping away from him?" Gon frowns when he notices Kurapika is the only one in the front again. Everyone is sitting in the back. Either staring at him or staring at Gon and giving him strange looks.

"Yes. I think they're all afraid. Also Kurapika never had too many friends to begin with. He keeps to himself. He's kind of intimidating. He got into a fight with my brother once and he's still alive! That's saying something." Alluka fiddles with her rabbit, her blue eyes getting glossed over as she thinks.

"Kurapika is really nice! He can draw really good and he sounds really smart." Gon smiles. "He's caring too! He was concerned about me. He's been telling me I shouldn't be around him but now that I know why, I want to be around him even more. Kurapika shouldn't be isolated! He's great!"

Gon doesn't see it but Kurapika is looking at him with wide eyes. His face coloring slightly and those blue eyes looking at him with bewilderment and something else. Alluka catches it though and she stares at him before she looks at Gon.

"is he really nice?" Alluka whispers shyly, a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Yeah! I could introduce you! We could all be friends!" Gon feels too excited right now.

"I don't think he wants anything to do with me." Alluka's blue eyes shift away.

"Why's that?" Gon frowns. He blinks when he notices no one is really around Alluka either. "Why does everyone sit in the back? There's spaces next to you."

"That's because..." Alluka looks at those amber orbs only to look back down at her rabbit. Her eyebrows furrow. "Well brother usually sits next to me and he scares people off but..." She's trailing off.

"Lets go Alluka. I'll tell Kurapika about how nice you are and then he'll see!" Gon smiles offering his hand for Alluka to take. She seems to think it over for a moment before nodding her head.

"I doubt the spiders would see us with him anyway." She mumbles, her face flushing when they get closer to the blonde.

Kurapika tenses when the two sit right next to him. "...Gon has she told you her last name?" Alluka tenses but Gon doesn't catch it. He tilts his head.

"I don't think so." Gon looks at Alluka. She doesn't respond. She messes with her rabbit. "Why does it matter?" Gon smiles at Kurapika. "Her first name is Alluka and she's really nice. We should all be friends. We could become a circle!"

"Become a circle?" Alluka raises an eyebrow.

"I confused you...I meant more like a pack, not the shape." Kurapika looks at Gon. Kurapika narrows his eyes at Alluka. "Where is your brother?"

"He's not here today..."

"That explains it. Your brother won't let you talk to me and how do I even know your brother won't try to kill him." Kurapika glances over at Gon before looking at Alluka. She's quiet. "And Gon, why do you insist on being around me when you know the spiders are after me? They could and will come after you if you keep hanging around me."
"I don't care of they come after me. I want to be your friend Kurapika. And I don't care if Alluka's brother tries to kill me, I want to be Alluka's friend. Everything will work out. So lets stay together." Gon smiles, looking between the two. Alluka and Kurapika are looking at him with wide eyes before their eyes soften.

"This is foolish..."

"I want to stick together too...Brother might come around." Alluka is trying to sound hopeful.

"I'll talk to your brother. Maybe if he sees i'm okay, he then can see Kurapika is okay-"

"There's no way Killua will let her keep talking to me. He's going to have a fit if he finds out."

"We can't tell him." Alluka rubs her arm. "But I think..." Alluka glances at Gon, a thoughtful expression on her face. "..when my brother meets you...he'll be okay. I just have this gut feeling..." Alluka seems to be thinking about something.

"Ughhhh." Gon blinks when the door is kicked open. A man in a suit comes walking through the door, his glasses dipping down his nose and a cup of coffee in his hands. "Why can't it be Friday?" He mumbles to himself as he puts down his coffee on the desk before looking at his students. Gon notices he first looks at Kurapika and then his eyes widen in surprise when he sees Gon and Alluka. He stares. Blinks again. "Oh um...Well that's new...Ah you're the new student." This man seems to be getting his bearings again. "My name is Leorio. Call me MR. Leorio. And your name is...?"

"Gon!" He smiles.

"Awesome I'll be able to remember that. Gon. Short and sweet." Leorio takes a long sip of his coffee. "I'm going to be honest with you, I don't have much for this class so we're just going to watch a movie reviewing the history of the dragons. Gon can I speak with you out in the hall?"

"Sure." Gon gets up before looking at Kurapika and Alluka who seem confused. "I'll see you guys in a bit!" Gon walks out of the room with Leorio, wondering what he's going to want to talk to him about-

"Are you stupid?" Leorio turns on him, glaring. Gon tenses at being snapped on right when the door closed. "Sitting with Kurapika is one thing, sitting with Alluka is another and you're sitting with them both. How did you get them so close?! Do you even know what you're in between?"

"What's so bad with sitting with them?" Gon thinks. "Oh you mean the spiders? I'm not worried about them-"

"The spiders wipe out races they are so bad kid-"

"Then Kurapika needs friends now more than ever." Gon gives Leorio a firm look. "I don't want Kurapika to die or get hurt."

Leorio stops for a moment, staring at Gon before he sighs. "...Lets talk about Alluka then. She's...Well if Killua was here he would kill you. I wouldn't try talking to her anymore. She's apart of the Zoldyck family." Leorio looks a little pale.

"Zoldyck?" Gon tilts his head. Leorio smacks his face.

"Do you seriously not know?! Were you raised under a rock?! They're notorious killers! Right now, Killua isn't here because he's off killing someone. That's their job."

Hunter dogs have to kill... "Are they bad people?"

"What does that matter? He's killed people! That should be a red flag enough! He's incredibly strong-"

"I wanna fight him." Gon's eyes get bright. "everyone has been freaking out about him. I want to-"

"You need help." Leorio rubs his temples. "Don't you know how the food chain works? What are you anyway?"

Gon bites his lip. He shouldn't say.

"...Okay well let's use me as an example. I'm a...elf." Leorio's cheeks dust when Gon looks at him with wide eyes.

"Huh?! But you're so big! I thought elfs were tiny?"

"What? No! Those are dwarfs." Leorio looks offended. "Anyway as an elf I'm strong in the magic department, mainly in healing but i'm not as strong as something like a griffin when it comes to fighting. You got to know your abilities and assess who you don't fight against." Leorio's eyebrows furrows. "Usually us teachers know what our students are but I looked at your papers...it didn't say. You're not human are you? You don't smell like it."

"No I'm not." Gon really wants to tell someone but he wonders if Leorio will tell others. He feels like he should since Leorio has revealed he's an elf. "I was told not to say..."

"No one will know but me and the other teachers. We need to make sure we aren't doing something that is against your nature or is dangerous to you. For example, a vampire can't go out in the sunlight. So we don't make Kurapika go out during Gym-" Leorio frowns. "shit I used his name-"

"It's okay, I already knew he was a vampire." Gon smiles. "I understand. I'll tell you, just don't tell anyone else. It's a secret." Gon whispers before he winks. "I'm a werewolf."

"What?" Leorio's face falls a bit. " An actual werewolf? So you came all this way from your island? Why would you? From what I learned you guys do your own thing there unless..." Leorio crosses his arms. "You're on a job?"

"Maybe." Gon sways back and forth.

"So you've never been to school then?...This is going to be tough. The other students will notice you falling behind..." Leorio thinks to himself. "Maybe I could change up my grading...if you have a good grade at least in one of your classes." He keeps mumbling. "So...no late night classes, no sliver bullets...that's about it. You seem to have good control. Your tail and ears aren't' showing. It's smart to keep this to yourself. There's been a couple of incidents with werewolfs in the city-"

"I know...the sickness." Gon frowns. "They get really sick and they don't know what they're doing. Werewolfs aren't bad-"

"I know. But others don't know. Just keep yourself protected Gon. You're a sweet kid. But if I were you, I wouldn't get involved with Alluka. You don't want Killua's eyes on you. He will bring out any dirt you have and broadcast it for the world to see and then he'll kill you or he'll just kill you."

"I'm not scared." Gon gives Leorio a thumbs up. "I'm a professional!" Gon goes to walk back into the class room only to hit his head against the door. Leorio covers his face that's filed with worry.

"He's going to get himself killed." Leorio mumbles as he walks in after Gon. He can't help to stop when he sees Gon sit back between the two, his smile so bright he can see a shift in them both. Leorio watches the blonde for a moment before he takes his seat, letting the class watch the rest of the movie or just sleep through it.

It's been awhile since he's seen that look on Kurapika's face.


"Bye Alluka! I'll see you tomorrow!" Gon waves at his friend. She turns and gives him a large smile of her own, waving goodbye before she gets into a car. When it drives away he has the urge to chase it but he doesn't. Mito has told him the dangers of cars. They hit and kill animals all the time.

Gon takes his eyes away from Alluka's car to look at Kurapika. He blinks when Kurapika isn't by his side but a mile away. "Kurapika!" Gon runs after him, and catches up. "Where are you going?"

"Home." Kurapika glances over at Gon who is walking by his side. "It's been a long day. Aren't you tired? You should head home yourself Gon. Tomorrow is going to be a hard day for you."

"Why do you say that?" Gon tilts his head.

"Killua isn't going to make life for you easy." Kurapika looks at Gon for a moment. "You don't...like her romantically do you?"

"You mean as a mate?" Gon thinks about it before shaking his head. "No I don't think so. I would know because when we find a mate we-" Gon stops, biting his lip. That was a close one. He's not sure anyone else mates like a werewolf. Kurapika Is staring at him curiously but he doesn't push. "I just know I don't like her as a mate. I like her as a friend."

"Good. Then you have more chance for survival." Kurapika looks forward. "We don't have all our classes together. I can't watch over you. Also tomorrow our classes change a bit. In stead of art, history and English, I have math, science, and gym." Gon frowns. He didn't have English with Kurapika or Alluka. It was so boring. His teacher was kind of strange too. She was poking a doll that looked like a person with her knife the whole time mumbling things to herself.

Gon pulls out his schedule to look at his classes. "It looks like tomorrow I have...math, science, and gym too." Gon blinks when he just notices that Kurapika is carrying an umbrella, the clothe shielding him from the sun's rays.

"Math and Science are pretty long so we will get a lunch before gym." Kurapika explains as they walk down the path away from the school together. Gon noticed a slight shift in Kurapika at the mention of lunch. "...I'm going to leave Gon. I need to...get something to eat."

"You could come to my place and I could get you something!" Gon licks his lips thinking about cooking up some nice big fish.

"I don't eat...normal food." Kurapika licks his lips, glancing over at Gon. The raven haired male stops when he sees Kurapika's eyes are flickering red. He stares at Gon's neck before he looks up at Gon.

"Oh yeah you're a vampire. You drink blood." Gon hits his fist against the other, his eyes getting wide with realization.

"...Leorio told you that didn't he?" Kurapika seems annoyed, those eyes getting redder. "Some times I don't know why I just didn't eat him." Kurapika huffs before looking up towards the sky. "...Yes I am a vampire and I drink blood."

"I thought vampires got hungry at night? And sleep during the day?"

"Where are you getting this information from? A story book?'

'….Maybe."

Kurapika stares at him for a moment before sighing. "I suppose I'm more awake during the night but I get hungry during the day. It's best to hunt at night but I don't know if I can wait...I didn't eat yesterday And to be quite honest...you smell too good." Kurapika's voice gets a little lower and Gon can see the tips of his teeth from under his lips.

Gon doesn't move or run away. He just looks at Kurapika, wondering if he's going to attack or not. " You can have some of my blood if you want." Gon smiles and offers his wrist to this other man. "What does it taste like? I've tasted blood before but only animal blood. It's irony. I'd rather have the meat cooked."

Kurapika stares at Gon with wide eyes before he starts to chuckle, shaking his head. "You're a strange boy. You're not afraid at all. What if I were to suck you dry?"

"I know you wouldn't do that." Gon smiles confidently. Kurapika stares at him for another moment before he a soft smile comes to his lips.

"You're right. I guess I'll need to try harder to scare you off. If spiders and Vampires don't freak you out...then I suppose nothing will."

"Hehe yup." Gon and Kurapika share a look before the blonde shakes his head.

"But seriously I do need to feed. I will see you tomorrow Gon." Kurapika gives him one final look before he jumps into the sky, his body morphing into a bat. Kurapika uses the shade of the trees to fly away.

"Wow!"Gon watches him with bright eyes. He wants to follow Kurapika but he can't get a scent on him. He could barely smell him when Kurapika was standing right next to him. Gon doesn't have a bad feeling. He thinks Kurapika is safe for now. Gon's chest feels tight as he starts making his way back to his apartment. He can't stop his smiling.

He did good. He got close to Kurapika, his target. He also made another friend, Alluka. This is so much fun. Soon he'll prove himself to be a good dog and he'll be able to be a hunter!

Gon grips his fists, his ears coming out from his excitement. It's only a matter of time. Once Gon gets into his apartment he can't help to stare around the room. What can he do now? Class is over and he won't be able to find Kurapika... Gon blinks when he reaches into his pocket and finds the device Alluka had given him. He stares at the electronic, trying to remember how Alluka taught him to use it. She said he would be able to talk to her without being right next to her if he uses this. Gon opens up the device before he takes off his shirt and pants, completely undressing himself. He lets out a sigh of relief when he lets his tail out. He wags his black tail excitedly, enjoying the natural feeling of being bare and letting his real self out. Hiding his tail and ears also makes him weaker.

Gon sits on the floor and places the device in front of him, his tail hitting against the floor and his ears pointed straight up as he thinks. So I push this button and look for her name...There it is! I press on it and then... A blank box comes up. This is good. This is what Alluka said. Now all he has to do is write her a message and she will get it! It's like writing a letter back and forth only quicker! Gon types her a message and waits patiently, as patiently as Gon can. He glances around the room, thinking about what he's going to do for the rest of his day. He can't go outside and hunt because someone might see him. He needs more of a feel for this place before he can find a good spot to hunt. So what will he do for food?

Gon blinks when the device vibrates. He sniffs it curiously only for his eyes to light up when he sees Alluka sent him a message back. He clicks on it.

"Who the fuck is this?" Gon's eyes widen at the message. Did Alluka send him the wrong number? Gon decides to message back.

Gon sends the message and waits for a reply. He feels excited knowing he's talking to someone other than Alluka. It's like a mystery.

Gon is a mystery to the one on the other line too but he doesn't know that.


Killua walks into his mansion, growling to himself with the fact that he got blood on his new shirt and had to throw it out with the man he turned into mince meat. Today just wasn't a good day. And it's about to get worse. He stops when he feels a vibration in his pants. As soon as he feels it, he's on high alert. That came from his left pocket. That's Alluka's phone. Killua quickly takes the phone out, his blue orbs getting dark when he thinks it may be his older brother trying to reach her only for his eyes to narrow when he sees it's a number the phone doesn't recognize.

"Hey Alluka! I figured out how the phone works!"

This sends up a red flag. One, this unknown person knows Alluka's name. Two, he's speaking like they know each other. Killua quickly texts back, almost breaking the phone while doing so. He hates these damn things, they break so easy under his strength. He sends the message, hoping his dark aura will be sent with it.

Killua walks down the hallway, speed walking towards the room he knows his sister is in. He stops when the phone vibrates again.

"My name is Gon! I'm trying to reach Alluka."

Gon? What the hell is a Gon? Killua hears himself growl before he marches up to Alluka's room and opens her door. "Alluka what is this?" Killua holds out her phone, giving her a stern look.

"Oh there's my phone! Why do you keep taking it with you?" Alluka stops throwing around her stuffed animals to give her brother a pouty look.

"To make sure Illumi isn't trying to get a hold of you and to make sure someone weird like a Gon isn't texting you! Who is this person? Why do they have your number?" Killua's eyes narrow when Alluka starts to fiddle with her stuffed duck. She smiles sheepishly.

"Gon is my friend. I met Gon today at school. He's a new kid and he's really nice-"

"You went to school?! I told you not to go unless I'm there. You could have been hurt- did you just say friend?" Killua gives Alluka a look that screams he's not happy. "So you gave this person your number on purpose? No one wants to be our friend. He wants something-"

"He's not like that brother!. He's really sweet." Alluka stands up, giving her brother a firm look. "He is my friend. He protected me. That goat man attacked me today." Alluka watches as her brother's face falls.

"This is why I don't want you going without me. Are you hurt?" Killua looks over his sister with concern.

"No, thanks to Gon. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Gon is different. He's nice. Even when people were talking about him, he didn't' move away from me. I think he just doesn't know much. He doesn't know who we are-"

"Look I'm glad he protected you but I don't think you should continue to talk to him. You just said he doesn't know what we are. What will he do when he does? How do you know he doesn't already know and he's working for someone?" Killua looks back down at the phone when this 'Gon' sends him another message.

"What's your name?"

Killua wrinkles his nose before looking back at Alluka. "He doesn't know and I doubt he's working for someone. How should I put this...He's not very bright." Alluka says it like it makes her feel guilty. "...To prove my point he sat with Kurapika today."

Killua blinks. "Does he know about he spiders?"

Alluka nods her head. "And he still sat with him. I just think he's a nice person. He doesn't like how everyone avoids Kurapika...and he doesn't like how people avoid me either." Alluka smiles. "He wants to be both of our friends. I'm sure he'll like you when he sees you too brother-"

"You are not being his friend. I don't' care if he's working for someone or if he's just an idiot. Someone that stupid will only drag you down." Killua shakes his head. "I'm going to tell him to leave you alone or I'll deal with him personally-"

"Why don't you ask him to send you a picture? You can tell a lot about someone by how they look right? Maybe then you'll see Brother."

"I don't want pictures of him on your phone! Besides, he thinks I'm someone else. I doubt he'll send me a picture if I ask. Only a fool would. He doesn't know, I could be some rapist."

"I'm pretty sure Gon will." Alluka has this smile on her face. "I just want you to see him. I don't want you to be mean. I want to have a friend."

"...Aren't I enough?" Killua's voice gets softer when he looks into Alluka's eyes that are filled with this fire he hasn't seen before.

"It's not about you being enough. You're my big brother and I love you but...I want to have friends my own age. I want to feel...normal. And I know you want to too brother." Alluka gives him a look, and Killua feels like she's looking into his soul. "Can you honestly say that I'm enough brother? Don't you long for something else?"

"We're not normal Alluka. The whole school knows it and soon this Gon will too. He'll leave or we'll end up killing him-"

"Gon won't leave." Alluka crosses her arms. "Brother I want you to be happy too!"

"What are you talking about? How can this Gon make me happy? He's sounds like a moron!-"

"Just ask him to send you a picture!" Alluka shouts, throwing her duck at him. Killua dodges it easily, his eye twitching slightly.

"Fine! I will but he's not going to." Killua huffs before he texts this message to this 'Gon'. "You don't need to know my name. Send me a picture." Good. Nice and creepy. Killua and Alluka wait in silence. After a couple of minutes Killua is about to smirk at his sister only to stop when the phone vibrates.

"How do I send pictures on this thing?"

Killua just stares at the phone like its' the most foreign thing ever. "Aww he doesn't know how. I forgot. I don't think he's ever used a cell phone in his life. I had to give him this one." Alluka takes the phone from Killua and texts something. "Hopefully he will understand how to do it now."

"He seriously has never had a phone" Killua is too much in shock that one, this Gon person is going to send a picture and two, he's never had a phone. What kind of person never has a phone? Killua's not sure he wants to find out.

"Nope." Alluka giggles. They wait a couple more minutes and to Killua's horror, the next message is a picture message.

"What kind of idiot would send a picture to someone they don't know." Killua mumbles as he opens up the message, his eyes ready to scan it to feel this person out...only for his mouth to drop. 'Gon' is there before him, completely naked. He's laying on his side, the phone must have been laid down in front of him to take the picture. Killua's eyes scan the picture a bit more intently then he would like to admit. Gon has black hair with these amber eyes that remind Killua of chocolate. His skin is such a dark tan and his smile is too bright and goofy. He looks too innocent to be sending such a not innocent picture.

"Did he send it?" Alluka tries to peak over his shoulder and he quickly moves it away from her. She notices the slight flush On Killua's cheeks.

"W-What kind of friends are you trying to make?!" Killua can't help to shout, his voice feeling like a squeak. He doesn't like how his body feels a bit warm. It must just be the temperature. Killua will not admit that this 'Gon' had any effect on him. Killua feels the need to look at the picture again but he keeps his eyes on his sister.

"What do you mean?" Alluka looks confused. "What did you get out of the picture about him?"

"He's a complete and utter idiot is what! And he's a pervert!" Killua huffs and goes to erase the picture. His eyes linger a little longer than they should before he deletes it.

"I don't think he's a pervert."

"Oh yeah? He just sent me a naked picture!-"

Alluka's eyes get wide, a blush on her face before she giggles. "Ohh so that's why you had that look on your face~"

"Shut up. I was shocked. Who does that? Who sends a naked picture to someone you don't know?" Killua crosses his arms.

"I guess Gon does. You see? I just don't think he understands things. He looks like he's from far away."

"...I did notice that. He's very tan too. He's use to being outside. He's naive too...innocent..." Killua stops for a moment to look at Alluka. "I still say you don't talk to him-"

"He's going to talk to me and I doubt you can scare him off."

"Oh really?" Killua can feel his tail twitch from the challenge He blinks when the phone vibrates again.

"Can you send me a picture of you?"

For some reason Killua feels himself get warm again. He wants him to send a picture? Does he want a naked one too- well he isn't going to get one! Killua decides to take a picture of himself giving the middle finger while giving one of his darkest looks. He sends the picture with this written under it. "Stay the fuck away from my sister."

"Can you stop texting him on my phone? If you want to talk to him, use your own phone." Alluka huffs.

"I don't want to text him! I'm just letting him know how it is-" Killua starts only for the phone to vibrate.

"Are you Alluka's brother? And wow! You look beautiful-" Killua sputters after reading the last word. He quickly deletes the message and then he breaks the phone in his hand.

"Hey!"

"I'm sorry. I'll buy you a new one." Killua drops the pieces of the phone, destroying Gon's way of contacting them and hopefully destroying that weird sensation in his chest he felt.

"You better. Now I can't talk to Gon." She pouts.

"Why don't we do something? Wanna watch a movie?" Killua offers, trying to get his sister's mind off of Gon and his own mind off of him.

"Sure I guess. And I can tell you all about my day with Gon!" Alluka giggles, seeing how Killua's face drops in irritation.

The more Alluka talks about Gon the more irritated Killua feels. He keeps feeling that tightening of his chest.

The more Killua hears, the more he knows. Gon is an idiot. Nothing more and Killua wants nothing to do with him. He will scare Gon away from Alluka.

He can already tell this 'Gon' is a trouble maker.
