The Deal is On

Jade and Gon watched as Killua was being dragged away by a group of anonymous girls. Ever since the assassin hit seventeen, he had been through three girlfriends all of whom broke up with him because they were threatened and even beaten up by other jealous girls. His previous girlfriend broke up with him the night before and to capture his heart was something these other girls thought was too good to pass up. Jade rolled her blue eyes while Gon sweat dropped.

"When are these girls going to get it?" Jade tapped her foot impatiently on the concrete, "Killua isn't the slightest bit interested in them. He never has and probably never will."

"You do have a point there Jade, but I think he's just trying to find that other half of himself," Gon interrupted.

"The optimist as always," she snorted, "Anyway, Killua is just trying to pass the time. He knows that he is soon at the age where his parents will engage him to some unknown person."

Gon looked thoughtfully at Jade. She was right. Killua was still going to be the head of the Zoldyck family. The inevitable truth that was spoken by Jade is bound to happen. To Gon, he could never imagine being in an arranged marriage. He had sure had his fair share of relationships and they had been quite enjoyable. The only person who probably never been in a relationship was Jade. He would have to ask her about that at a later date though. Right now, both teens had to figure out how to remove Killua from his current dilemma.

Jade then marched towards the commotion and grabbed Killua by the hand and dragged him off to where Gon stood. The girls glared daggers at Jade, but she couldn't care less. Those girls couldn't lay a finger on her.

"Are you going to have lunch with us or your girlfriends?" Jade asked irritably.

"Geez Jade," Killua smirked, "Never knew you were the jealous type."

"Why I oughta," Jade started but was held back by Gon's firm grip.

"Calm down, Jade," he then turned to Killua, "You don't have to join us if you don't want to."

"It's alright," Killua reassured, "I'm hanging with you guys. I was about to ditch those girls anyways."

Jade said no more, but took out her skate board and skated past them.

"What's her problem?" Killua jabbed his thumb at her retreating figure.

Gon shrugged in response. Only Jade could answer that.

Gon and Killua placed their order while Jade continued to read through the menu.

"And you Miss?" the waitress asked.

"I would like to order a hamburger with fries, and a blue berry sundae," she finished, putting the menu on the table.

"Someone's ordering light," Killua commented.

"Shut it, Killua," Jade snapped, "I'm definitely not in the mood today."

"You're telling me," he placed a hand under his chin, "Is it because of your parents?"

There was no answer.

"What did they do this time?" he asked.

"I don't want to talk about it right now," she said as their orders were placed on the table.

The trio ate in silence, each person waiting for the other to spark up a conversation. It was Killua who broke the ice. "Hey, Gon, tell us about your last relationship. What was it like?"

"Uhh… It wasn't too bad. We went out a few times but at the end, she said I was too nice and then left," he answered, not sounding sad.

Killua then turned to jade who was devouring her hamburger rather peacefully.

"So, Jade, how about you?" he asked with a slight, knowing smile.

This caused her to stop in the middle of her bite and slowly chew what she had in her mouth. Killua watched with amusement at her obvious discomfort about the topic.

"Killua," Gon said in a slightly warning tone.

"No Gon," this time, it was Jade who spoke, "It's alright. As for you," she turned to Killua, "You of all people should know that I've never had a boyfriend."

With that she got up, paid and left.

Gon looked over at his friend disapprovingly. Both knew of Jade's decision not to date because of a particular occurrence that took place in her life. Killua threw Gon a What-Did-I-Do face.

"Okay fine," Killua got up to go after Jade, as if complying with Gon's silent wishes.

Outside, he found Jade on the phone. Slipping into a corner, he decided to do a bit of eavesdropping.

"I'm not going through with that," she said to the person over the phone. "Well think what you want to think. I am not taking that mission and that's final."

Clicking off the phone, she turned to where Killua hid.

"I know you're there. I am probably one of the only people who can sense you," she called out.

Jade watched carefully as Killua emerged from where he was hiding. His hands were held up in defeat.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"I just wanted to apologize," he simply stated.

Oh," this caught the blonde off guard, "Well then hurry up and do it. I have somewhere I need to be."

"I'm sorry for making fun of you like that," he genuinely said.

"You're forgiven. I've actually got a bit of apologizing to do myself," she pointed out, "I've been a complete jerk all day just because of a stupid mission request."

"A mission request?" Killua asked.

"Yeah. They want me to execute a government official's daughter," she admitted.

"A government official's daughter? That wouldn't happen to be Charlie, is it?"

Looking down, Jade nodded. "I've been completely torn up about it. I know she was your first girlfriend and everything so I not too long ago declined."

Killua shrugged. "It wouldn't matter to me anyways," he said, "People die or get killed all the time."

"Heartless as always," Jade shook her head.

"Hey, as long as whatever was bothering you is over," he smiled before ushering her back into the diner.

Jade walked ahead of him and this allowed him to actually see what she wore. It was a white t-shirt that said "Keep Calm and Care Less". With that, she wore black cardigans and blue vans. He shook his head. She sure hasn't changed much over the past few years. It's all hoodies and Jordans for her. The first time they met, she wore a black hoodie and knee length khaki pants with black Jordans. Her hair was braided back into one plait. She had turned him into an icicle the first time they met. Literally. She could transmute water/ice. Her power was pretty cool and since his nen ability was lighting, her ability complemented his.

"Hey," her voice snapped him out of his daze, "You can stop staring and get into the diner or stand outside like an idiot."

"Hehehe," he scratched his cheek.

Gon watched as his two friends walked into the diner. They had a pleasant look on their faces as they sat down again.

"So are you two good?" Gon asked.

"Yeah," Jade answered.

"Alright, I always wanted to ask you why you don't like to be called Lila," Gon said.

"Meh…" Jade shrugged before turning her attention out of the window.

"That's a valid question. I mean we are best friends, right?" Killua added.

"I just don't like it," Jade answered quickly.

"Hmm… Is it because it's too girly?" Killua taunted.

"You might be right," she answered calmly.

"I know I'm right," Killua gloated.

Just then, the group of girls from earlier walked in. as soon as they spotted Jade, who was by the counter, they walked over to her.

"Uhh.. Kil, your fan girls are on to Jade," Gon pointed out.

"This is gonna be funny," Killua sniggered.

"Well look, if it isn't the blonde boy, Jade," the leader of the group mocked.

"Uhh… Can I help you?" Jade simply asked while looking at the cashier, not bothering to spare them a glance.

"Ugh! Why are people so annoying?" one of the girls shouted at a worker for bumping into them.

"Not everyone's annoying, some are dead," Jade pointed out matter-of-factly.

"Shut it, slut! We have had just about enough of you stealing Killua away from us," the leader turned her attention back to the matter at hand.

"And what are you going to do about it?" Jade challenged.

She watched as the group leader seethed with anger.

"Hey look," Jade looked at her nonexistent watch, "I'm busy right now. Can I ignore you some other time?"

Behind the tussle, Killua couldn't control his laughter. He knew Jade wasn't the type to bother with unimportant people. The group leader looked around to see if Killua was watching. After confirming her audience, the palm of her hand came into contact with Jade's face. The sound ricocheted throughout the diner and many fell silent. No one ever dared to pick a fight with Jade.

Instead of retaliating with hostility, Jade broke into a fit of laughter. This surprised and even scared some of the girls.

Wiping an escaping tear away, Jade finally looked at the girl who stood before her.

"You'll just never get that Killua will never be interested in you, but with your IQ, I don't think you'd understand," Jade snickered.

"Why you," the girl lifted her hand again in an attempt to hit the blonde haired girl in front of her.

"Hit me again and you'll lose that arm of yours. Even you can understand a simple threat," a scary aura emanated from Jade. "Tata, losers," Jade then waved as the group left reluctantly.

Jade then met Killua's gaze. This caused both friends to burst out laughing. Gon lightly chuckled along but he knew that Jade would have definitely taken off the other girl's arm if push came to shove.

"Now, let's get going," Jade announced when they were all finished laughing, "We'll go to my place to play video games."

The other two nodded in agreement. Jade's house was way more comfortable than Killua's. Not to mention it's closer. Approaching the mansion, Jade's eyes narrowed in on her father who was standing in front of the massive doors. Exiting the car, she threw him a confused look. Her father's gaze then trailed to who accompanied his daughter. Jade walked past her father and Gon and Killua did the same. Killua however, didn't pass without sending Jade's father a smirk. He knew the man never liked him, so he used every opportunity he got to irritate the older man.

"Lila Jade Andrews," he spoke her name with authority as she made way upstairs.

"Yes, father," she answered obediently.

"I got a call stating that there was a disturbance at the local diner," he said, "What is the meaning of this?"

"Nothing," she shrugged, "I just wanted to cause a ruckus by slapping myself in the face."

"You and your sarcasm," her father muttered. "Anyway, I hope you know what refusing the mission you've been given might cause."

"Yeah, yeah, I could be on bad terms with the main branch," she rolled her eyes and continued to head upstairs. At that moment, Gon got a call from Kurapika.

"Who was it?" Killua asked when Gon hung up.

"Kurapika," he answered.

"What does he want?" Jade questioned.

"He wants me to come meet him now. He says he has Hisoka with him as well," Gon explained.

"Hisoka? That creep?" Jade asked. "You can totally take my cousin along with you. She has a creepy obsession with him."

"I'd rather pass," Gon sweat dropped.

"Suit yourself," Jade shrugged. "When will you be back?"

"Probably tonight," he answered, heading out the door.

"Hmm… so I guess it's just you and me," Killua stated.

"Thanks for pointing out the obvious," Jade deadpanned.

"Do I perhaps make you nervous Jade?" he asked, smirking.

"Don't make me deflate that ego of yours and wipe that smirk off your stupid face," she countered.

"Gee, you don't have to be so hostile about it," Killua continued to mock, but Jade ignored him.

Reaching her bedroom, she locked the door.

"My, my, Andrews, you just can't wait to get me all to yourself," he furthered his jokes.

"You wish," she answered nonchalantly as she turned on the television and sat on her bedroom's couch.

Killua sat down next to her and grabbed the remote. Changing it to what he wanted to watch, he sat with a self-satisfied smirk on his face.

"Why do you like to date?" Jade asked out of the blue, "Is it because of your parents?"

"Hmmm… Partly," he answered, lowering the volume, "If I'm not dating, then they'd probably think I am ready to settle down, which I'm not."

"I see," was all Jade could say.

"So, what about you? I mean yeah you got rejected publicly by your first crush but that was so long ago," he said.

"Uhhh… well.. I just haven't found the right guy yet," she answered bashfully.

"Hey, would you mind if we dated?" Killua asked a very surprising question. "Not because we like each other though, but because I'm not dating anyone currently and I want to keep my parents off my back for as long as possible."

"Uhhh…. Sure, but I bet you'll fall in love with me in the process," Jade tried to make a joke out of the situation.

Killua smirked, "Oh yeah? Well then let's make a deal. We'll date but whoever falls in love first will have to give the other something."

"Something like what?" Jade asked with interest.

"Something that the other wants and the person cannot refuse under any circumstance. In my case, if you fall in love first, I would probably want a cart full of chocolate delivered to my apartment," he said. "What about you?"

"I don't know as yet, but overtime I'll come up with something," Jade smirked.

And so the deal was set. The two would start dating, each one using the other for their own means. Killua using Jade to get his parents off his back and Jade using Killua to get over her anxiety of dating again and to finally have the glory of beating Killua at something. She was more than determined. This is the preamble for a love story filled with drama, jealousies, love and much, much more.

"So, can I get a kiss? I mean we are dating now, right?" Killua asked sneakily.

"In your dreams moron," Jade replied.

"You know, the point of this little game is to get the other to fall in love first right? That means you'll have to at least try a little something," he said to the blonde, "Like I don't know, dressing a little more girly."

"You just love to dream, Killua," she fake smiled and turned away but inside, she was wracking her brains to find out what her first move would be. She wanted to win. In truth, she had never beaten Killua at anything and this was something she definitely planned to have over his head when she wins.
