[Nsfw] ✾ Nanika's Crime Scene ✾ | cw: gore

[Finally laid to rest, Alluka is plunged into a long, drawn out dream that causes her to groan and cling to whatever's closest in her sleep.

She awakens in a dark, fleshy room with a weak lantern that just barely illuminates the darkness. Scared, she cautiously steps forward, wondering where her big brother could've went. As she walks, the soft, wet ground squelches underneath her, oozing old, reddish brown blood all over her squeaking berry boots. She can hear strange ambience throughout the cave: unnerving drip, drip, drips and even the sound of distant ringing which grows subtly louder the longer she navigates this horrible place.

(The rest is nested in the comments bc it's gross lol)

*there's no getting around it now. he has to tell her the truth, or her mind will never be able to settle -- though he's sure it will only unsettle her more. casting his gaze guiltily downward toward his fists balled around his folded knees, he confesses,*

it was... a part of me.

*he has to choke down a surge of bile in his throat before he can continue, the acid biting at his voice as he forces hoarsely onward toward the truth.*

one of my organs, she-- she insisted--

What...?

[She gags. So that was why her mouth tasted so putrid -- and why Nanika wouldn't show her what she was holding. All those Killua bodies were there just for Nanika to consume in their dreams.]

I...I saw you there... Your body, or bodies... They were everywhere. Piled up on the floor and against the walls...

[She feels another kick to her gut and throws herself over the toilet. This time, there isn't as much.

Just like Killua's, there's a roughness to her voice.]

It was so frightening, Oniichan...

*killua winces as she gags on the taste of the ill-fated gift he'd given nanika, feeling her pain and nausea as if it were his own, as if the piece of him inside her had connected their bodies deeply, primally, even seeping into her dreams. he rubs her back sympathetically, wishing there were something he could do to reverse this and ridden with guilt that nanika had put him back to normal but left her to suffer in his stead.*

i'm so sorry... it's my fault you feel like this...

[Alluka senses the guilt in Killua's voice and her first instinct is to hug him, yet she ignores it due to their less-than-hygienic present situation.]

It's not your fault. You were just doing what she wanted like a good big brother would...

[Knowing the rules and consequences for Nanika's requests, it was the only thing Killua could possibly do. She could never blame him for that.

Wiping herself free of blood, she sighs.]

We should go see Mr. Leorio... I'm sure he'd be able to help us..

[Alluka picks up the empty mini trash can next to the toilet.]

Not going without this, though.

*killua gets to his feet after her, internally scolding himself for letting his guilt and despair cloud his mind. she sounds like the elder sibling right now, urging them toward sensible action.*

right, that's a good idea...

*he begins to leave the bathroom, but halts himself in the threshold with a grimace.*

can we... not tell him what nanika ate...? i don't want anyone to know... what she's capable of.

[Alluka follows Killua to the entrance of the bathroom and pauses when he stops, looking up at him for explanation.]

Of course not... I know what happens when Nanika's secret gets loose..

*killua gulps, forcing down a sudden, sickening feeling of suspicion that he's never felt toward his sister since they met. he turns away from her, leading them out of the bathroom and through the cabin to the hall without another word, lost in dark thought. how much does she know about nanika's violent tendencies? how little does he?*
