Gon's POV

I feel Killua poke my cheek. I open my eyes then sit up and yawn. "Everything is packed. A taxi is on the way. Plane tickets are ordered" I yawn again. "Kay" I get out of bed and follow Killua outside. He throws the key inside the closes the door. He uses his claws to lock the door from the outside. I tilt my head then shrug. I look up. "What time is it anyways?" "Almost midnight." I hum. We pick up our luggage and load it into the taxi when it arrives. I slide into the car then instantly put my head on Killua's shoulder and fall asleep again. 

Killua gently shakes me away. "We're here" I look around and yawn. We leave the taxi and get our stuff. We walk into the airport. "I ordered tickets online for Gon Freecss." Killua says. "Ok. One sec...." The lady types on her computer. "Ah yes. Go to gate six." "Thank you!" Killua and I both say then walk to the right gate. We board the plane quickly, seeing how we were the only two on it other than the crew. Killua leans against the window. A very important question pops in my head. 

"When we get married, am I taking your last name?" I ask. Killua lifts his head, looking a little shocked. "Of course not! I'm taking yours." "Really?" "Well of course!" "But doesn't Killua Freecss sound weird?" "Yeah. But it's better than Gon Zoldyck. Besides we're not assassins" Killua says, shrugging. I tilt my head. "That makes sense..." We sit in a comfortable silence. "What do you think will be at the 'meeting'?" I ask. Killua hums. "I have an idea. But I guess we'll just have to find out." I pout. "Just tell me" Killua looks out the window. "I really don't think you want me to." "Why not?" "Just trust me on this" "Ok?" 

We take another taxi to the entrance of the mountain. After that, Killua opens the gates, all of them, and we walk through. "We'll just stay in my room until the thing." "Kay!" We down the path, ignoring Mike, and head to the mansion. Killua opens the doors and we walk in. All the butlers walking around stop and bow. "Welcome home Killua-sama, Gon-sama" Killua only waves his hand and we head for his room. "Don't disturb us" "Yes Killua-sama!" He huffs and slams the door behind us. 

I jump awake when Killua sits up. "I said don't disturb us!" Killua yells. I whine and bury my face in the pillow. "I just wanted to let you know that the meeting is at five tonight." "Ok. I hear you!" Killua lays back down. I look up at him. "Should we do something?" I ask. He shrugs. "If you want to. I mean, we have to make plans where to go next." I hum. I scoot closer to him and toss my leg across his hips. "Let's just... relax for a bit." "Sounds good to me. It's still early so we can also get food." 

Killua picks up a phone next to the bed and asks a butler to bring up breakfast. It was comfortable just laying here. Killua didn't give off too much body heat but he was still very comfortable. After we eat, we decide to take a bath. I sigh and sink into the bath. "I'm surprised that they want me here" "I highly doubt they want you here. But you opened all the gates" I lean on the side of the tub and look at him. 

He was massaging shampoo into his hair. I see him glance at me with pink cheeks. "Why is that such a big deal?" "Gon, the biggest door is over five hundred thousand pounds!" "Is it?" Killua sighs. "Anyways, there might be only a handful of people in the world who can open all of them. I don't know how you were able to but it's a situation big enough where they welcome anyone who can open them to the family." I nod slowly. "I... Kind of get it." Killua sighs. "Good enough" Killua slides into the bath with me and we relax for a bit. 

We decide to roam the garden for a while. I smell something, a magical beast. I see Gotoh walk up. I narrow my eyes but Killua doesn't catch it. He walks up to 'Gotoh'. "Hey what's up? Long time no see" Killua says, grinning. "You are looking well master Killua" Killua looks at me. "I gotta use the bathroom, I'll be back" I smile at him. "Ok!" Killua takes off. I walk up to Gotoh. "I'm surprised you're here. But what about-" "It was Gotoh-sama's last wish, for Killua to never find out that he passed. Not even the Zoldycks know about it, only a few of the butlers." I nod at the Kiriko. "I understand." "Thank you Gon." He bows. 

I sit down on the white chair. From what Killua has told me, Gotoh has been like a father to Gotoh and probably the only thing Killua loves on this mountain. It saddens me to think that Killua doesn't know. But if it's what Gotoh would've wanted... "I'm back! Sorry it took so long" Killua sits down across from me. "oh it's fine." We get served tea by 'Gotoh' then we roam around. Then it was about time to walk to the 'conference' room. 

I sit next to Killua. It was very suffocating in here. Killua looked bored. I lean towards him and whisper. "How often do they have this meeting?" Killua shrugs. "Dunno" Silva puts a hand on the table. "It is time for Killua to take over the family business" The others nod and agree, completely ignoring Killua's mother's screeching about her baby taking over the business. "I have a question. Why is Killua the heir?" I ask. Illumi answers. "Kil completed his training super early. He has enormous potential. Also he's the only child with white hair" I chuckle nervously. I had a feeling it was the white hair. 

It was very... interesting. Hearing them talk so great about Killua like that. Killua meanwhile, looked so bored. "I'm not going to be the heir. Just dye Illumi's hair white or some shit." Killua pipes up. There was a moment of silence before hell broke loose. Killua's mother starts sobbing, Milluki shouts protests, Illumi only tilts my head and a bad aura escapes him. Zeno and Silva stay silent before Silva raises a hand and the room goes silent. 

"Killua think carefully about this. You have so much potential." Silva says. Killua stands up. "All I hear from you guys is nothing but my potential and how I'm such a skilled assassin! I don't want to be an assassin! How many times do I need to say it!? I just want to travel the world with my fiancée!" I blush slightly. Before anyone can react, Zeno stands up. "While you guys argue, I wish to talk to Gon in private" I look at Killua, who nods. 

I follow Zeno to this tea room. One of the butlers follow us. I sit down. "I... I'm not going to be poisoned am I?" He laughs. "Of course not" We sit down in the fancy chairs. "Now, explain to me why Killua doesn't want to take over the family business. I just can't seem to wrap my head around that one." The butler rolls a cart with tea on it. I thank the man when he pours me a cup. "Killua... He is hard to explain." I use the mini tongs to put some sugar cubes in the tea and use a spoon to stir it. 

"The only way I can explain it. Is that Killua isn't a violent person. Killua just likes to have fun and do what he wants to do. He's always been that way. Having your future set out for you isn't fun. He doesn't like how you guys have his entire life planned out. You and Silva may of accepted it, but Killua can't. I'm not expecting you to understand." 

I sip on my tea. "You're right. I can't understand. However..." I set my cup down and munch on a pastry the butler brought. "Illumi is too evil to run the business. Milluki is... Milluki. Kalluto doesn't have as much potential and he's too much of a momma's boy. Alluka is out of the question completely. Killua is the only one who can" I finish my tea. "Well... What should we do?" I ask. "That I don't know" Zeno says. We sit in silence for  a while. "Should we check up on them?" I ask. "That might be best." 

We head back to the room where the others are. Killua was red faced and panting. "Fine! Then I bet if I beat you in a fight, you'll continue being the family head until you die!" Killua shouts. I pale. "Uh... Killua" Killua grabs my arm and drags me to his room. This is bad. Very, very bad. I flinch when Killua slams the door, a large crack appears in the door.
