Hi everyone! My name is Gregory ^_^. This is the beginning of a long journey for Killua and Gon, of self discovery and healing. The reason I posted such a short first chapter is because I want to get a little feedback before I keep on writing! If you have any interest in beta-reading my work, please let me know! So review, review! Lots of love, and be happy :)

Italics will indicate thought (from Killua's perspective as of now) or flashbacks. It should be clear as to whether it's a thought or a flashback!

The darkness was so complete, that it felt infinite.

Gon reached out into the endless abyss and-

"Ouch! Watch where you're going, Gon!" Killua's voice echoed in the cavern. Gon whined.

"I'm sorry! I can't see anything in here! It's like..it's like...endless!" Killua snorted.

"We're almost there Gon, so just grab onto the back of my shirt and I'll lead the rest of the way."

"You can see in here?!" Gon's voice was suddenly loud and tilted upwards in surprise.

"Your senses may be sharper than mine usually, but when it comes to being in the dark..." Killua trailed off. Gon tilted his head, suddenly understanding. Reaching out, he grabbed onto the back of Killua's shirt.

Some time later...

"You have come." The woman's face had hundreds of deep, deep lines. Her eyes were sunken and her cheek bones protruded. Her hair fell in wisps around her face, gray as a rainy sky, and her eyes blue as the sea. They were bright and penetrating.

Gon stood gaping at her. Killua took a small, protective step forward in front of Gon without even realizing it. Killua swallowed. Her Nen felt ancient and undiscernable, the intent behind it neither light nor dark, and yet powerful as the sun and quiet as the moon.

"A-are you...are you Sayeed?" The woman looked at Killua, a look that sent shivers down his spine. It feels like she's staring at my soul...

"I have been called Sayeed, Killua." Gon jumped a little.

"How did you know Killua's name?" His voice shook with excitement and came out in a breathy rush. Killua narrowed his eyes at Gon and hissed,

"Gon, be more respectful!" Gon can't feel it...

A cackle ran through the small cave, the noise flickering with the firelight.

"It is alright, child. I know many things, for that is my gift. The gift of knowing. In times past, though, I would have called it a curse..." She looked from Killua to Gon, her eyes sharp and alive. "I know what you are here for. I know that you have lost your Nen, and that you are here to make yourself whole again. I know the deep bond you share, that the experiences you have had together have transformed you both. I know that without Killua, you, Gon, would be dead. And I know that without Gon, you, Killua, would be on the path of darkness. The exchange is equal. Do you know why you were told to come here together?"

Gon and Killua shook their heads and glanced at eachother. Gon spoke,

"U-um, well, Ging said you...you could help me. But he said if we didn't come here together, that I'd be wasting my time. And...and Killua..." Gon looked at Killua, an apologetic look on his face. "Killua didn't want to leave his sister...but...she got angry and told him to."

"Idiot! I know how much you care about Gon, why would you risk your life for him dozens of times and then leave him now when he needs you most?" Killua's voice threatened to crack.

"Shut up! I can't be near him anymore! You don't understand!" Alluka looked at him.

"I, or Nanika, will never speak or look at you again if you don't help Gon." She turned away from him...

"Dammit! Damn it all to hell!"

Killua looked at his feet.

"I spoke of your deep connection...that is why you have come together. You have exchanged Nen."

"What?" Killua and Gon exclaimed simultaneously, their eyes wide. Killua stepped forward.

"What do you mean?"

"Killua, in your aura...in your aura, there is part of Gon's Nen. Before Gon lost his Nen, he had a part of yours as well. Actually, it is still there, but lodged deep in his body, currently inaccessible. If you were to meditate, away from Gon so his presence did not distract you, you would be able to feel him inside your aura."

Killua blushed.

"Old woman, the way you say that is embarrassing!" Sayeed laughed again, and Gon simply tilted his head, his eyes wide and curious.

Shit, I'm glad that didn't piss her off...

"I will be straightforward with you. I will put you both into a deep sleep, and you will travel. You will travel into eachother's childhoods and experience them together. If you are able to overcome the challenges, and break down the barriers of separation, Gon will become whole again...and so will Killua."

So will I? I didn't lose my Nen...what is this old hag talking about...

"Thank you, Sayeed...and...thank you, Killua. I'm ready."

My...my past? But...

"Then sit...sit, and I will sing..."

To be continued.
