"2, 345...2,346...2,347!" Killua was currently training in the very same forest he appeared on. He realized he couldn't even activate his teigu meaning he had a long way to go if he wanted to even be able to have it activated for a while. Killua's training regime was simple. 2,000 laps around the empire, 2,500 squats, 3,000 push-ups, 3,500 handstand push-ups, and 4,000 pull ups. That wasn't even the main part of his training. Next, he would begin his nen training. He would practice the four major principles of nen before moving onto the more advanced techniques. The four principles being Ten, Zetsu, Ren, and Hatsu. (A/N: I am not going to bother explaining these as you should already know what they all mean and what they all do when used. Same goes for the advanced techniques) Killua would spend hours upon hours in the state of Ten. Afterwards, moving on to Zetsu, and causing constant damage to himself by sparring with civilians. He had to admit, that hurt like nothing before, hence why he sparred only with civilians. This would allow him to get used to damage without nen. He would practice ren as he would go through his physical attacks. On some days of his physical training he would have ren active. He would then move onto Hatsu where he would practice his lightning in order to increase his capacity. That way he wouldn't have to constantly recharge. While also aiming to create new techniques with his unique nen ability.

Moving onto advanced nen techniques, Killua would like almost all nen users practice using gyo with his eyes. Aiming to maintain this state for as long as possible. All the while, when practicing In, where he doesn't have to stop the aura flow, making it difficult to maintain as well for a long period of time. One of the more important ones, in Killua's case, is the strengthening of his En. That way he would not only increase the range but also the potency and effectiveness of his nen detector. Noting to himself to not let a situation with the First Emperor to happen again.

'Sly old man.'

After having stole a couple of swords from a tailor, of course unnoticed, Killua began to practice Shu. He would practice on and on for hours slicing tree branches and eventually rocks! Another technique that he must practice in his opinion is ken as it is difficult to maintain for a long period of time. Not really paying much attention to Ko as he is a transmuter and not an enhancer. Nonetheless, he still wanted to be able to perform decently in this area. The hardest being Ryu, as not only are you maintaining the aura around your body, but you are also concentrating most of it to one part of your body.

Killua would practice these for days, weeks, months on end. Finally after about half a year he decided he was ready to attempt to activate his teigu. Slipping on the coat, he began to meditate before finally channelling his aura into the coat. At first he began to feel a sensation, and when he did, his body was surrounded in a black aura with the magatama having glowed red. Along with this a staff suddenly appeared at his side. Much to his surprise, there were floating goudamas surrounding him as well.(A/N:black like-spheres that have and elemental change in nature of more than four elements, fire, water, etc.) He noticed his staff was made of the same black substance as these goudamas. Lastly, he felt a tingly sensation in his eyes. (A/N:For those of you that don't know yet, sage of the six paths from Naruto. As for those of you who have no idea what that is, just look it up on google. Instead of having to follow the whole series.)

"So, what now?" mused Killua as he took an experimental swing of the staff. He began to walk forward and noticed he was much faster and just traveled 5 miles in just a few steps. To say he was astounded was definitely an understatement.

'If I were to use kanmuru with this teigu, I would be unrivalled in speed!' thought a baffled Killua.

"This is so cool!" exclaimed Killua. Before he was able to experiment any further, he began to feel weak. He jell onto one knee and deactivated his teigu.

'Huh? What's happening to m-' Killua had fainted from the exhaustion of using his teigu for too long. Too long being a mere 15 seconds.

**2 HOURS LATER**

As his eyes fluttered open he took notice of his surroundings. He sat up and noticed it was well past nightfall.

'I must have passed out from using that teigu. Tsk and I only used it for a mere 15 seconds. Is this all I can do?' thought Killua frustratedly. He stood up and dusted himself off. 'Well, before I continue training, I better go pay my respects to Gon.' He began to jog back to the capital.

'Gon, I am sorry I couldn't have been there sooner. If only I was there to stop you from doing what you did. Things could've been different.' Killua then remembered what the old man had told him.

"Sometimes, it's better not to think about 'what if' and instead think about 'what now'. You have a future ahead of you where that 'what if' can be a 'what now'. Killua having been renewed with a new determination set out for training instead of resting with only one thought in mind.

'I must get as strong as possible as soon as possible!' He began jumping from rooftop to rooftop starting his training with 4,000 laps, deciding to up his training in order to be able to use his teigu for a good amount of time.

Killua was huffing and puffing from the amount of training he was able to complete. He just finished training in Hatsu and was taking a rest before he would begin with the advanced techniques.

~TIME SKIP: 4 YEARS LATER KILLUA: 16 YEARS OLD~

Killua was currently training in a mountainous area known to harbor the fiercest of beasts that he had yet to kill.

"8,431...8,432...8,433…" He was currently doing handstand push-ups. All the while having ren active at the time. It's been awhile since Killua had last activated his teigu. Last time he activated, he was able to maintain that form for about five minutes. A drastic improvement from his first attempt. He also discovered that abilities that came with the teigu. One of the abilities being able to manipulate attractive and repulsive forces with objects and people known as the Deva Path. Next up is the Asura Path, which grants the user the ability to summon any weapon that they can think of that currently exists within their knowledge of weaponry. (A/N: I did not want to actually make Killua be able to grow appendages on his body with a scorpion like blade tail. Cannot see that happening and wouldn't look too good in my opinion, so I changed it up a bit.) With the next path being the Human Path, the user is able to read the mind of any target by placing his hand on the target's body and yanking his/her soul out inevitably killing the victim. The Animal Path grants the user to be able to summon any animal to the user's location, so long as the user has killed the beast already and has placed a marker on it. All beasts are essentially immortal. The next path is known as the Preta Path, where the user is able to absorb any attack that has aura contained within it, as well as any attack that has a combustive force to it. The last and sixth path is known as the Naraka Path. This allows the user for interrogation and restoration. Interrogation due to the fact that the user summons the king of hell. The user begins to question them and if they lie, their life force and soul will essentially be ripped out and kept within the head. If told the truth, they would be spared although very exhausted. Restoration due to the fact that anybody that happens to be damaged or killed can instantly be repaired or revived by the king of hell.

'Now if only I could increase the duration of which it lasts, I will be fine. Though, why can't I use kanmuru with it? It's a weapon isn't it? Though, it probably makes sense that I cannot use it with the teigu. Since it does require my aura in order to be even maintained.' The fact that Killua was unable to combine kanmuru with his teigu disappointed him greatly. Though, it led him to start to develop a new technique that would surpass kanmuru itself. He named it Mugen Hayasa, which translated means infinite speed. Mugen Hayasa although grants the user to move as if time seemed to stop, burns up all of Killua's aura in a very short time, leaving Killua vulnerable for the cooldown time. Which is why Killua has never used and will proceed to only use it when the situation calls for it. As he finished his training, he has begun to think back to the group of assassins called Night Raid within the capital that have begun to rise along with the revolutionary army. Deciding it was time he joined in the executions of royal officials he would finally begin his quest for world peace today! As he was heading back to the capital he caught sight of a caravan that was about to be devoured by an Earth Dragon. He reacted in a split-second and cut the beast in half with his elucidator. (A/N: Could not think of a better name for the sword, and honestly why not?) Instantly taking out the beast.

'Still a pushover of a danger beast I see' thought Killua arrogantly. The men from the caravan opened their eyes to see they were still alive and well. Their eyes widened at the sight of the Danger Beast, and even more so that this teen had taken it down in one swipe.

"That was amazing!" One of the men said.

"You actually took a Danger Beast down single-handedly!" Exclaimed the other man.

"Wasn't that hard, I've done the same when I was twelve, no biggie."

The men began to sweat drop at the boy's bragging. Killua then turned to look at the old men.

"By the way, what were you guys thinking coming out here unguarded!" shouted Killua.

"Well, we just had to get away from that disgusting place, no way would we stay there!" explained one of the other men.

"If you are wise, I suggest you turn away from the capital kid, that place is dangerous and will only bring you misfortune." said the other man.

"Don't worry about me, I know all about that wretched capital. That's exactly why I have decided to rid the capital of their officials and the emperor himself." said Killua darkly as the men began to back up from the bit of killing intent leaking from Killua. "Just joking, man you guys sure need to lighten up you know! Haha!"

The men began to sweat drop once more at Killua's antics. They exchanged looks before thanking the kid and continuing on their way to who knows where they are headed. Killua turned after watching the caravan leave and decided it was time for him to head out as well.

'As if I am joking, just you wait, you will come back only to see the capital having been completely changed!' thought Killua darkly once more. As he entered the capital he took notice of a brown-haired boy being thrown out of the military barracks employment center.

'This should be interesting.'

"What was that about? Why not test me out?" asked the boy.

"Don't be ridiculous! Due to the recession, we're flooded with applicants… There are limits as to how many we can hire!" Exclaimed the man.

"Oh, Really?"

"If you get it, scram, you damned brat!"

'Kid shouldn't try so hard. If he's naive enough to believe that making it into the army is an accomplishment, then I wouldn't mind electrocuting some sense into him!' thought and irritated Killua.

"Hi!" exclaimed a blonde busty woman behind Tatsumi.

"Hmm?" Tatsumi mused as he turned to look at the mysterious women.

"Something seems to be troubling you, young man! Want a lady to lend a hand?"

Tatsumi immediately became flustered and ogled her breasts. Killua took notice of this and facepalmed himself mentally.

'Great naive and a pervert. Kami, what were you thinking?'

'S-So this is the imperial capital...' thought a euphoric Tatsumi.

"What's wrong with you?" asked the blondie. Drawn by dreams of making it to the capital, you came all the way from the country?"

"How did you know that?"

"I knew at once. If you've lived in the capital long enough, you can identify outsiders. Anyway… I know a quick way to get hired for government services."

"Seriously?"

'More like you're seriously going to believe her? More naive than I thought you'd be. Guess I won't have to electrocute you , hehe. Good luck.' thought killua as he began to walk away from the scene.

Killua walked into the bar, and sat at one of the tables. He observed the place and noticed that the same kid he saw get thrown out, was sitting there dazed and obviously waiting for a certain someone. Someone that was not going to bother coming back.

'So far, I have got pervert, naive, and gullible. This kid is not going to very surprising when it comes to battle, that much is for sure. Killua took a gulp of his drink and began to walk to over to the kid to tell him he has been played.

"Hey kid, you should probably head out now." suggested Killua.

"No, I am waiting for someone!" responded Tatsumi.

*Sigh* "Sorry to break it to you kid, but that girly is not coming back. You've been robbed, honestly what is with you? You don't go trusting people left and right.

"I'm afraid he's right, kid, you have been swindled." agreed the bartender.

"Eh?" Tatsumi's face paled. "Huh?! Th-That's Fraud! I'm reporting her!"

"When it was really your fault that you were played?" asked Killua. Tatsumi instantly realized the position he was in was wide-eyed and teary-eyed at his situation. Just then, Killua walked up to him and handed him a bag of gold that was twice the size of his.

"Just because I feel bad I am going to supply you with your needs, you should be more careful next time kid." stated Killua. Before Tatsumi even had time to thank the kid, he disappeared from sight.

"Huh, wasn't he just here?" asked a confused Tatsumi.

"You should take that kid's advice. You won't get very far with what you are doing right now? I'd give you another two days before you would have ended up dead." the man said.

"S-Seriously? Isn't that a bit harsh old man?"

"Well, we're closing unless you'd like to buy another drink."

Tatsumi shook his head and made his way for the door. He began to walk down the street, deep in thought about that the kid said, and how he was able to get more money than him!

'He must be really strong!'

"Well, might as well get an inn for tonight. Thanks to this money, I'll be able to make it through this whole month!" shouted Tatsumi happily. As he turned the corner and headed for the bridge he caught sight of the very same white-haired boy that had helped him earlier.

'Wh-What?! Was that seriously all the money he had?! thought Tatsumi as he made his way towards the little assassin

"Hey! Hello! What is with you, are you deaf?! Hell-"

"What?! What do you want?!" Shouted an aggravated Killua as he stood up.

"Was that money you gave to me all you had?" Tatsumi asked. Killua sighed furiously before replying by holding up two more bags of gold triple the size of the one he gave him earlier. Tatsumi wondered where he kept these humongous bags of gold.

"Are you serious?! What the hell man! What are you doing sleeping here like a bum, huh?!"

"You're one to talk, if it wasn't for me you'd be the bum, kid!" retorted Killua.

"You're right!" Tatsumi began to cry anime tears. Killua instantly regretted talking and began to apologize.

"Okay, okay, just-SHUT UP!" yelled Killua.

Tatsumi instantly stopped his wailing and was waiting for Killua to speak.

"I'd rather not waste my money on something as stupid as an inn. Hate to break it to you, but I have been surviving like this for a while now. Killua began to walk up to the kid, and held out his hand.

"The name is Killua, what is yours?" asked a tired Killua.

"My name is Tatsumi. You seem to be pretty strong then."

Killua nodded and proceeded to end the conversation by sitting down and closing his eyes for rest.

'Hey, seriously, that's it?' thought an amused Tatsumi.

At that moment, a red wagon pulled up and a little girl came out.

"Again, my lady?" asked on of the guards.

"You know I can't help it. It's my nature." She began to walk towards to the two seemingly homeless kids.

"If you two have nowhere to sleep, would you like to stay at my home." asked the little blonde. Tatsumi decided to listen to Killua's advice and was a little skeptical of the offer the girl was giving.

"I don't have any money…" He decided to test her to see if she was up to no good. Sadly, he was still too naive.

"You guys wouldn't be sleeping here if you did, now would you?" asked the little girl.

"Lady Aria can't ignore people like you guys. You should accept her generosity." suggested the man to the left of Aria.

"What would you like to do?" asked Aria

'Better step in before he falls into this tra-'

"Well, I guess it's better than sleeping outside…" tatsumi replied blushing as he avoided her stare.

'Baka! And here I was thinking you had it under control! Better follow you then, just to make sure you don't go dying on me now. *Sigh*

"Make sure to bring your friend too!~" exclaimed Aria happily.

"Oh…! Aria's brought someone home again!" said Aria's dad.

"My, it's simply her habit!" exclaimed his wife.

"I wonder how many there have been?"

"Mother!" complained Aria.

"Th-Thank you…" Tatsumi said as he and Killua both bowed.

"I bet you both are hungry!" stated the old man.

"Thank you for taking us in!"

'How spoiled is this brat? Does she always buy this much stuff every time she goes shopping?' Thought an irritated Killua.

"Her shopping is pretty intense isn't it?" thought Tatsumi out loud.

"Good job getting us into this situation you blockhead! You should've denied her offer, maybe then I wouldn't have to watch you twenty-four-seven!" whispered Killua harshly.

"What do you mean? Aria and her family are completely harmless!" retorted a confused Tatsumi.

"You haven't been around long enough to know certain things about the capital like me! Besides, last night I was out scouting the place when I-"

"What are you two whispering about over there?" asked the guard from yesterday evening.

Killua gave Tatsumi a look as if shouldering the burden of everything to him.

"We just didn't wanted Lady Aria to overhear us talk about the way she shops, ehehe." said a nervous Tatsumi.

'Now he's a smooth talker?! What I wouldn't give to electrocute him now! I am even missing training because of him! I'll get you back!'

"It's not just Lady Aria. All women are like this. Anyway, you two, take a look over there. Over there, you can see in the distance the imperial capital's center, the palace."

"It's huge! "Is that where the great emperor is, the one that can change a country?" asked an amazed Tatsumi. Killua wasn't as impressed but still listened with interest.

"No...It's a little different than that." The man looked out for any possible eavesdroppers before leaning in close to tell the two something secretive. "There's an emperor, but he's only a child. The prime minister controls the emperor from the shadows. And he's the reason why the country rots."

"The min-"

"Don't say anything suspicious. If anyone hears us, they'll have our heads."

'That's to be expected, the fact that he knows of this piques my interest as to just how many willingly follow the ways of this evil empire.' thought Killua.

"Now take a look over there. There are also people like them in this world." explained the guard.

"Night Raid?" asked Tatsumi.
"They're a group of assassins that's terrifying the capital. As the name suggests, they attack at night. They mainly target high-ranking executives and the capital's upper class. Make sure to prepare yourselves, just in case."

It was finally nightfall and our two heroes were currently sleeping. Well, one of them at least. He was currently sitting in a meditated position.

'Seems like they're finally here. Although I'd rather not interfere, I have Tatsumi here to protect, so protect I will. I just hope he doesn't get too angry over what he will soon see.' thought Killua as he proceeded to walk towards to double doors. Tatsumi took notice of the killer intent and noticed that Killua was already preparing for battle. But, for some reason he had on a cloak, mask and had two swords strapped to his back.

"You going to ogle me all night, or are you coming along?" asked an annoyed Killua.

"You know I don't swing that way!"

"Hai, hai, let's go then you pervert."

Hey, take that back! You're a guy too!" complained Tatsumi.

"At least I have control over my urges unlike a certain someone. I saw you ogling that girl's breasts! So don't act all high and mighty!"

"You're right!" cried Tatsumi.

"We don't have time for your crying right now!" Killua proceeded to grab the boy and head out towards the one place he needs to show Tatsumi. Turning to his right, Killua noticed Night Raid standing on what seemed to be wires.

'Dramatic appearance much' deadpanned Killua. 'Looks like the battle starts here' he thought as he let go of Tatsumi.

"Tatsumi, let me handle this. At your level, you won't be able to lay a finger on any of them." warned Killua. Tatsumi could feel the killing intent leaking of Killua like no tomorrow.

'Been awhile since I flipped my switch'

**Meanwhile with Night Raid**

"Hey, you guys feel that? That's no ordinary killing intent!" Yelled Lubbock. "It seems like it's coming from that guy right there."

"No matter he shall be eliminated along with the rest of them!" exclaimed Akame. She dropped down aiming for the three guards, with Bulat right behind her. The guards stopped and looked on with fear mixed with trepidation in their eyes.

"Whatever you do , don't touch that sword!" exclaimed one of the guards. They all began to charge as one of them raised their swords to slice Akame. However, she sped forwards in a burst of soundless speed, and slit the man's throat successfully. Blood began to spurt out wildly from his wound as the cursed poison began to spread throughout his body. As Bulat was threw his spear ready to finish of the man, it was caught by the same person that was leaking of potent killing intent. Both Akame and Bulat turned in time to realize the said person currently holding Bulat's spear and twirling it with ease.

'Impossible' he thought. 'How was he able to catch my spear with that much velocity put into it, and without us sensing his presence!'

He's going to be challenging' thought an expressionless Akame.

One of the men began to realize the precarious situation they were in and began to run away in fear. A gunshot was heard and in a split-second Killua caught the bullet with ease, saving the helpless guard.

"Get out of here already!" yelled Killua.

The guard nodded and began to run in whatever direction was the opposite of Night Raid.

'Impossible' this time both Akame and all of Night Raid were in awe at the speed displayed by the mysterious assassin before them. He then proceeded to walk towards Akame and Bulat.

"You can have this back." Killua said as he threw the spear with incredible strength and acceleration. Bulat knew he had to dodge or else he would be done for. He managed to dodge not before witnessing Killua appear next to it and grip it with a final blow to Bulat sending him towards Akame knocking him out. Akame caught him with a little trouble.

'I must eliminate him, he is a threat, and must be rid of existence.' Akame lay Bulat down and drew her sword once more.

"So you want a duel with swords, huh? Let's see what you've got then!" Killua pulled out his elucidator and proceeded with a lunge straight for Akame's head. She blocked it, and jumped back quite a few feet.

'Why did she jump so far back? Wait!' Killua thought as he looked up in time to see another bullet coming his way. He noticed it too late, and was forced to amplify his aura to send electricity to his brain in order to increase his reaction time. He succeeded and managed to cut the bullet apart. 'If it wasn't for all those times being tortured with electricity, I don't know what would've happened to me just now.' thought Killua with relief. He managed to turn his gaze back to Akame, only to notice she was nowhere to be seen. 'Agh! I let it happen again! Why does this always happen?!' He began to speed towards the one location he knew she was heading for.

"Don't worry Lady Aria, I will protect you from harm!" exclaimed Tatsumi. He began to take his stance against Akame, as they both lunged forward clashing swords. She then proceeded to push him and aimed for a blow to the heart. Before it reached however, Killua intervened, and was holding the blade with a cut in his hand.

"Target Eliminated, you should've blocked with your sword, not like you had room to anyway." Akame said as she withdrew her sword to watch the assassin fall to his knees and clutch his hand. She was preparing to finish off Tatsumi when Killua managed to block her with his elucidator. Akame was wide-eyed at this, as no one has ever been able to survive her Masamune. "How are you still alive? That poison should've killed you in an instant." she marveled at the sight of the assassin completely fine.

"That's too bad my body is immune to any poisons that enter my body. Though, I do have to admit, that really hurt for a cut." Killua said. Now, it's time to end this, I'm done playing games with you." Killua drew his second sword the Dark Repulser.

"Those swords wouldn't happen to be teigus would they?" Akame inquired hoping to get some answers from her target.

"Hmm, nope. These are just custom-made swords I made with the use of some rare, exotic material. As for my Teigu, I have no need to bring it forth right now, in fact even without it, I doubt I would lose against all of you at once. Now, let's end this!"

Before she could react he did a horizontal slash towards her sword with incredible acceleration. Effectively knocking the sword out of balance before she caught it to block the attack from the next attack from his Dark Repulsor. Though, it proved to be useless as the sword was knocked out of her hand. She sped towards it catching it in her palm before she took her stance once again.

'Wow, she's pretty fast. Have got to hand it to her, she's pretty good.' Killua thought. She lunged forward aiming for his heart only for him to block with both swords leaning his head to the left. She began to swipe relentlessly at her opponent and end with combo with a slash to his elucidator, surprising Killua with the force used behind it. He jumped back and decided to see if she could trust her instincts as much as he had.

'Let's see how good you really are.' Killua began walking in a circle after a short while he began to create after images of himself.

'How is he doing this? I can't tell which one is him, there's too many!' she thought.

One of the after-images lunged forward and she prepared to slash her opponent only for it to fade.

'What?! Behind me?!' Akame thought. She turned around to see another one of the Killuas coming towards her, she slashed once again, with the same result. 'Where, where are you?' She turned to look behind her as the real Killua thought this to be the perfect opportunity to get her from the side as she would most likely turn around once again leaving her wide open.

Everything happened exactly as he planned it and was ready to knock the sword out of her hand only for her to fade away as well.

'What?! It's the same as my technique, albeit on a smaller level, who is this person?! Killua thought as he panicked. He then felt her appear behind him, and just as she was about to swipe down on him he managed to spin and duck while slashing at one of her legs causing a deep gash on her thigh.

'Oh, crap, I thought she would dodge! Maybe she's not as good as I thought she was!' He thought. She hesitated to counter-attack due to the pain in her leg.

'This is my chance! I'll break her guard with starburst!' Killua began to unleash a barrage of swipes left, right, down diagonal, horizontal, all happening in fast succession. Akame already had cuts and bruises, her sword was the only thing keeping her together. He finished his 27-hit combo with a horizontal swipe to her Masamune with both swords as he twirled. She lost her grip on the sword and it flew penetrating a nearby tree. She was on her knees and looked up at her opponent. He pointed the tip of his dark repulser towards her head.

"Just land the finishing blow already, you've proven to be a stronger opponent than me." Akame said.

"What are you talking about? I am on your guy's side, I just didn't want you killing the guards as they were innocent on the matter. As for the family themselves, I can see why you would want to "eliminate" them. Here, let me help you up, sorry about the wounds I cause you." Killua held out his hand and Akame blushed as she took notice of his well-built body and kind personality. She accepted the assistance and paid no mind to her injuries.

"Akame!" shouted Leone as she came running towards her partner and friend.

"Kill-" before Tatsumi could continue Killua put a hand on his mouth.

"Can't let you go and reveal my identity now, can I? Killua said. Killua motioned for Tatsumi to follow him to show him what he found that one night. 'I just hope he doesn't take this too bad, I know what it is like to lose a friend, but he's lost two of them! Well, not for long, cause I will save them!' "Tatsumi you will not like what you see, but just don't take it too hard, okay?" Silence was Tatsumi's reply as Killua opened the door to the storage room. "Take a look, this is the true face of the empire!"

To say Tatsumi was baffled and at a loss for words was nowhere near what he was really feeling inside.

"What is this, huh?" Tatsumi asked. He walked inside and puked from the sight and smell of the bloodied and broken corpses.

"Take a look. This is the capital's darkness." Stated Leone with Akame on her shoulder. She cast a glance towards Killua. 'To be able to wound Akame this much, and without so much as a scratch on him, he is on another level!'

At that moment, Tatsumi took notice of the dead corpse of his friend and crush Sayo.

"Sayo? Hey, Sayo? Is that you, Sayo?"

"Is it someone you knew?" asked Leone.

Killua looked at Tatsumi with a feeling of understanding. He thought back to Gon and what happened with him. 'Gon.' He continued to look on with sadness at Tatsumi.

"Tatsumi, Tatsumi, is that you?" asked a certain boy in a barred cell.

Tatsumi turned only to realize that another one of his childhood friends was still alive calling out his name.

"I-Ieyasu?" Tatsumi asked in fear for his friend.

"That girl invited Sayo and me to her home. And after we ate, we lost consciousness… And when we came to, we were here… Th-that girl torchured Sayo to death!" Ieyasu cried.

"What's wrong with that?! You're all worthless hicks from the country! The same as cattle! I'm free to do whatever I want, aren't I? And that woman… Even though she was just cattle, her hair was smooth! Who does she think she is?! When I struggle with my unruly hair! She should be grateful anyone paid that much attention to her!" Aria screamed demonically.

"A demon disguised as a good samaritan. Sorry for getting in your way." Leone said.

"Eliminate." Akame responded to no one.

"Wait." Tatsumi interjected.

"Don't tell me you still want to defend her?" Leone asked quizzically.

"NO, I'll kill her!" Tatsumi said, as he cut Aria's body in half blood splashing everywhere.

'Hmm, I know that he despised her now, but he killed her without hesitation.' Leone thought impressed.

"That's Tatsumi for you… That felt great!" Ieyasu said as he coughed up blood.

"Ieyasu! Ieyasu…"

"It's the final stages of Lubora. The mother of the house enjoyed drugging her victims. And she wrote about it in detail in her diary. He cannot be saved."

"I beg to differ." Killua interjected. "Don't worry Tatsumi I'll save both of them.

"How?" Tatsumi asked as a spark of hope was ignited in his heart.

"Just watch and step back." Killua ordered. Killua began to fix his coat and began meditating, channeling his aura into the coat. "Rikudou Senpou: Naraka Path." Killua bellowed. The King of hell appeared out from the ground and opened it's mouth.

"What hell is that thing?" All three exclaimed.

"I'll explain later," he said, his eyes were glowing purple and had a ripple pattern.

"Gedo Rinne Tensei no Jutsu!" 'I'll have to be careful, I don't want to go exchanging my life with this technique.' Killua thought with caution.

Ieyasu was cured of his state and was rejuvenated completely, as well as Sayo as she was also starting to come back to consciousness.Killua then deactivated his teigu as he was taking large breaths of air before he suddenly disappeared from sight.

"Where'd he go?" Leone asked in shock. Akame was also looking around in wonder for the mysterious assassin who performed this miracle.

"Ieyasu, Sayo! Thank goodness you're both alive!" Tatsumi exclaimed happilly with tears in his eyes.

'Thank you Killua, I hope we meet again!' Tatsumi thought.

"Well, now, how about you join Night Raid, young warrior?"

"I used too much aura, that was close, I almost bit the dust!" Killua thought. His mind drifted back to his conversation with the old man as he was trying to revive Gon.

Flashback

"What do you mean I cannot revive Gon! What's the pointing of making something that has no purpose!" Killua yelled.

"First of all, you would die from the required amount of aura needed for just one being. You're not ready for this technique. Second, I've made it so that you can only revive Gon when you have completed your task. I apologize, but it's all the more why you should hurry and save this world from destruction. Even if you revived Gon, you won't be able to go back without my consent." the old man replied.

"Fine, just leave me alone, so I can go train!" Killua yelled.

Flashback End

'I swear I will save both this world and you Gon!' Killua thought as he drifted off into unconsciousness.

I hope that satisfied you all for a second chapter! I put in a little more effort into this one, giving you a longer chapter than last one. Next chapter will include Tatsumi being admitted into Night Raid, while Killua is out training once again. I don't know where it will end, but I at least want to end it around after the assassination of Ogre. How'd you guys like the incorporation of Kirito's dual blades? Drop a review if you liked it. As always constructive criticism is always appreciated.
