~~~~~~~~chapter start~~~~~~~
|Killua|
The first thing I thought of once I woke up from my slumber, was the fact that I didn't even know why I was asleep in the first place. The last thing I remember before I arrived to this predicament was that I was about to go through the desert that one of Leorio's patients suspected to have some sort of lost kingdom or something. I don't remember.
Once my eyes adjusted to the light, I saw a figure standing right in front of me. I narrowed my eyes at them as I slowly stand up and took some steps back. I manipulated my fingernail into claws that are sharper than knives, waiting for an opening. Once I got a closer look at the figure, I notice four things about them: First off, the figure was female— An old one if I may add—Second off, she has big boobs for an old hag, third, she has a robotic arm—that's pretty cool— and the last thing I noticed was that she had an eyepatch like those pirates in this one movie that ...Gon and I watched. I felt tears threatening to come out but I held them in.
"Come Killua, don't cry! You have an enemy right in front of you!" I heard my conscious yelling in my head.
"Oh, your awake. That's good." The words that the women just said snapped me from my thoughts.
I looked up at her. Confusion and suspicion swirled within my head with many other things that I can't seem to figure out or just down right hate. In the inside I was confused as hell but in the outside, I tried to hide the emotions that keep swirling within my mind and raised an eyebrow at her.
As if seeing through my facade—which surprised me—she smirked a little as if enjoying my little predicament.
"I know your confused but I'm kind of also confused as well." She said.
"What are you talking about?" I growled, narrowing my eyes once more.
"Woah, there kid. No need to be hostile. I just found you on the floor and when I was about to help you, you woke up." She responded.
Once she said those words, I started to analyze her eyes; trying to find if she was lying or not. Once I found that she wasn't lying, I began to analyze the place that I was found at. An open field of grass, trees surrounding the said place. I sniffed the air a little bit. Dirt, flowers, trees and more dirt. If I can't even smell smoke or anything that's in a city, it means that I'm pretty much really far from even the most closest city. Where am I, anyway?
"Do you like it?" The old hag asked.
I turned my head towards her in a questioning matter. As if sensing my question—which is scary as fuck— she asks me of what I thought of the space we were currently in.
"... It's nice...but I seen better." I said arrogantly, turning head to the side as I stare at the flowers.
"Haha! So, your a rich kid but I still sense something interesting about you." She laughs, crossing her arm.
"What the hell are you talking about... Are you one of those crazy old ladies that tell you your fortune or something." I yelled, later regretting it.
I saw one of her eyes twitched. A murdering aura erupted from her like a volcano. Her eyes gleamed a haunting glare that it made me sweat... The first thing I thought of once I saw her in this state is that... women are scary. She kind of reminds me of the old hag we met in Greeds Island—A game made for hunters created by Gon's half-ass father or of that cat-like Chimera ant called Pitou. I shivered at the last thought.
I was thinking too much. I was so caught up with my thoughts that I didn't notice her next move until it was to late. Her robotic arm punched me unto the ground. I landed on the ground, I started groaning when I tried to pick myself up and cursed myself for not noticing her next move.
My poor cheek hurts so much...her punches are worst then the old hag's and that's saying something. I glared at the old lady,who seem to not notice my glare at all! Dame you, old hag!
"Now, that we have this clear...My name is Najenda and I'm the boss of an...infamous group called Night Raid." She introduced.
Night...Raid. What's that? She also said infamous...wait!...Are they...
Sensing my confusion, she frowned and stared at me in confusion. Why is she looking at me like that...is Night Raid some sort of common knowledge in this place; wherever I am! Is it like N.G.L that was very secure so anyone that wasn't from this place, knew nothing about it.
"You don't know who Night Raid is? So, are you part of a far away village or somewhere else really far away from The Empire." She questioned.
"...I don't know what hell your talking about? Night Raid...The Empire...? Where am I?!" I demanded, sweat started dripping down my face.
Normally I won't be opening asking these questions to complete strangers, but I'm somewhere that I never heard of, I don't even remember how I got here and with all the times I have spend with Gon, he kind of influenced me a little.
"This is certainly strange. If you trust me at least a little, I could show where are you." She said.
A glared at her a little. Just because Gon had influenced me a little, doesn't mean that I will openly trust a stranger. Then again, her eyes are not lying. Then again, I could get information on this place and even if she was lying, I could just kill her when she isn't looking.
"Sure but first tell me...what the hell is Night Raid?" I questioned.
She smirked in a friendly way—if you can call it friendly— and said that the place she lives in is a cruel place with evil people around every corner so they need someone to exterminated it.
"And who is that someone?" I asked, my eyes began to twitched not liking the idea of guessing games.
"Well, those someones are called Night Raid. A group of assassins who are going to overthrow the corrupted Empire and kill the prime Minister, the one who is in charge of this corruption and anyone who stands in our way or are just as guilty.
I stared at her. When she said her response, the only thing I thought of was:
"I knew it...kind of."
"So what's your name?" The woman's voice broke me from my thoughts once more.
"...Killua...Killua Zoldyck." I whispered.
|Narrater|
During their walk towards The Empire, Najenda told our favorite feline-like ex-assassin more about the different world that he is currently in—if you can call it a different world. She told him more about The Empire and how Night Raid came to be. She also told him that there are powerful monsters that roam around The Empire and that the first emperor created these powerful weapon called Teigu that were made from these monsters long ago in order to prevent The Empire from falling.
After a long walk through the forest, the sight of a clearing relived Killua. He was so bored of walking and listening to Najenda—or old hag as he calls her— talk. Don't get him wrong, he was interested in everything about this world but after a while she started to go on a tangent about how terrible The Empire is.
After a while, Killua didn't bother to listen and just started analyzing the way they were going.
"Killua, we are near The Empire so put this on. You will stand out with your clothing." Najenda said, handing him a black coat.
Killua stared at the coat with one of his eyebrows raised in confusion. He didn't understand how his clothes will stand out. He thought that Najenda's clothing look kind of similar to what some girls might wear in his 'world' or was it for costumes...Killua wasn't sure.
Sensing his confusion once more, she just chuckles and throws the coat on top of head. She adjusted her own coat so the guards won't see her.
"Just wear it. You'll see once we enter and stay low. I usually don't come inside The Empire but this is an exception." Najenda smirks.
"And a chance to get another strong ally like him." She thought to herself as she catches sight of Killua putting his coat after minutes of hesitation.
When the boss of Night Raid came across this boy, she sense a huge amount of power from him so she wanted someone like him on her team.
"Done." Killua said to Najenda in a lazy matter.
Najenda snapped away from her thoughts and smiles at Killua.
"Ok then, let's go."
|Killua|
I was amazed of how right that old hag was. This place is nothing like my world. People wearing weird looking pants and dress. Some seem normal but only some. The buildings we pasted by seemed so old that not even the Bull Market from York New city could compare.
There were people vending and buying things and people talking at every corner suspiciously but I didn't sense any ill-intent targeted towards us. While I was scanning around the stands, even if I can't buy anything. Curse their currency! What if there's chocolate!
While I was so caught with my thoughts, I sensed something coming towards me. In pure instinct, I caught whatever came towards me before the old hag could say anything. In between my fingers was a knife. I turned towards where it came from. There in the corner, stood a man with a gray coat. I threw the knife back at him faster then he had done but it didn't reach him; he dodged it.
"Shit, they spotted us. Let's go now." She said in a hushed tone.
I nodded and started running with her. I'm impressed. She's able to catch up with me. We jumped on the old looking houses one by one.
During our run, I hear people shouting and feet running with some jumping on the houses in order to catch us—like if they can.
After a few minutes of running, we lost them once we jumped off the building. The old hag told me that those were soldiers from the Empire but they weren't the strongest they had to offer—that there is someone more powerful.
We continue running until we reached the very large forest with an abundance of trees and flowers. She stopped all of a sudden and turned towards me—I stopped when she did. Her face held a serious look.
"You want to go back from where you came from?" She questioned.
Once she asked, I became lost in my thoughts. It was my fault for wanting to hide from my family but I kind of do want to come back...yet this place so also interesting too. Those monster that she told me about...I want to fight those things and those weapons that are made from them seem awesome.
I rose my head and looked at her in the eyes. I wonder why she asked me that? Does it have something to do with her group of assassins?
"Sure, I do but I have nothing left. This place seem pretty cool too." I said.
I saw her sweatdropped. I wonder why?
"Well...why do you find this place cool?" She mumbled, her eyes started to twitched.
"I kind of want to fight those monster you talked about or maybe fight against those weapons you spoke of as well." I confessed, sparks began to fly in the background.
I saw her facepalm. Why is she doing that? Was it because of something I said?
She raised up her head towards me. Her face was in between being annoyed and interested.
"Do you want to join Night Raid then, I assure you that you will get to fight those monsters and maybe some Teigu users as well. We could also help with what your looking for." She offered, crossing her arms.
Looking for...what is she talking about? Whatever. Join them...huh. That could be fun and I kind of want to see what kind of assassins she has.
"Sure." I said.
She nodded and told me that we are near her hide-out. She started walking forward and I followed.
It better be fun and challenging. I really hope I won't regret this.
~~~~~~~~~chapter end~~~~~~~~~~
Please review! I really need a lot of constructive criticism. I hope you like the story. Oh, I forgot to mention but I going by the 2011 version and it 2 years after the events of the anime so Killua is about 16. Oh, and about Gon's death it with become more important throughout the story because Gon's killer will show up throughout the story and the best part is that the killer could be a canon character from either show or maybe even an Oc. :3
