Another Passing Day ＊ REVISED ＊

Chapter Twelve ＊ REVISED ＊

The Dark Continent-we've only just gotten back together, and he wants to live in a place where my mother was killed by my sister. Yup, sounds like a great honeymoon.

"I want to get away from my family, and the Dark Continent sounds best, considering no one comes here." He explained to me.

"Because it's restricted!" I argued.

"Do you understand how hard it was for me to find a way to get us here?! I wanted us to live in peace, not being threatened by my mother and father! This is what I get for being considerate, huh?" Kil growled at me, irritation burning in his eyes.

"It's not peaceful if powerful monsters or creatures randomly come and destroy our house! What if we have kids and they get killed by the monsters?! I don't want to even think about it!" I shouted at him.

"Fine!" He snapped, agreeing to my point.

When we finally calmed down, and he turned to face me, "Look, I..."

"No, it's my fault." I interjected, "I'm sorry. I guess if you're with me, I can trust that I'll be safe." An apologetic smile controlled my face, my eyes looking up into his purple ones.

"Me too, I'm sorry. I thought I had it all planned out, and when you brought out the thought of children, I realized how stupid I must have sounded." His eyes met mine and returned the smiled I was sending him.

"Do you still want to live here?" I asked him, honestly hoping he would say no.

"Yes."

I sighed in annoyance, allowing him to smile at me with that cat grin, those purple eyes staring at me as though I had a thousand chocolate bars behind me-his favorite food.

"Fine, for now. But I'm warning you, I have some rules that you have to follow." I sent him a teasing glare. "When we make a house, it will be clean. Also, I will not be growing cocoa beans! Forget your childish dream of making chocolate bars and eating them. If we have kids, they will be disciplined, and will have training in Nen every day after they turn five. I will teach the kids basic grammar, math, and anything else they may need, but you need to become a proper dad! Only then will I agree to have your kids," I added quickly and happily, "-and if they're all boys, I want to have five."

"Okay, okay... But I think I'll be the coolest dad ever. I mean, look at me!" He exclaimed. I laughed, looking at his white, baggy shirt and black and white striped sweatpants.

"Whatever, superman... So... When do you plan on setting up?" I questioned, my curiosity getting the better of me. Our marriage would take place before we move, right? Right? Actually I'm not very sure, considering it's him.

"Hmm... I was thinking our wedding would take place in a week, and we can just do it privately, and then we'd leave about a week afterwards?" He gave me that handsome grin of his, making my heart melt.

"Okay... But the wedding is going to be back in the... Normal world." I replied tenderly, finally standing on my tiptoes to reach his over six foot figure.

Unfortunately, I was many inches short, being only five foot and three inches, so I couldn't reach his face. As though I had planned this, I grabbed his shoulders and pushed myself up, kissing him on the lips as I slowly let myself back down.

We laughed, holding hands and talking about our lives as we sat under the tree. The moon illuminated my face. When I looked at Killua, he gave me that know-it-all face.

The moon was reflected in his eyes as he reached for my hand, where he pulled out a silver band and put it on my left ring finger. The ring felt comfortable on my hand as I looked at Killua's own hand, which he had his own matching engagement ring on his finger.

The ring had intricate details that seemed to have been handmade. It was quite similar to the style of ring Silva has dropped off not too long ago.

"I love you, Kil."

"I love you too, Arietta."

"By the way, Kil, we're definitely not living on this God forsaken island, got it?"

---

A/N; Whew! That took a bit to write! I know Arietta completely has a mood change, but that's how happy she is when she's with him. Plus, she hasn't seen her mother in five years, making the relationship a bit distant. Oh, and I'm doing a Sequel chapter for the last chapter I updated. Be proud of me, because I'm doing the next chapter by Friday. 😖

Love you!
