*Present time*
(On a rooftop)
Killua: Damn. How could of this happen? One minute I'm talking with Pitou, then Gon shows up, & next a bright light just appears out of nowhere. Now I'm in a strange city & I don't know where either of those two are at all.
Knowing Gon he's probably gonna do all he can to find Pitou, regardless of the situation.
Tsk, I gotta find him first before he finds her. Idk if what Pitou said was 100% true but if she was then I gotta stop Gon from fighting her at all cost.
*Flashback*
In the forest Killua, once reaching outside the palace Gon & Pitou went to, sees Pitou running & stops once she sees him.
After a brief awkward silence between the two Killua would be the first to speak.
Killua: Where is he? Where's Gon? Did you...did you...(gulp), kill him?
Pitou...
Killua (tears running down his face)
ANSWER ME! Did you kill...
Pitou: No!
Killua: What?
Pitou; I said, I didn't kill him. I just...left him there, after I told him his friend was already dead & my arm was fully restored.
Killua...
Pitou: I could of easily killed him right then and there if I wanted too.
(Image of Gon broken down)
He looked so...helpless, once he heard the truth. But I chose not to kill him.
Killua: You did? But why? What made you decide not to kill Gon if he looked helpless? Isn't it your duty to kill anyone who posed a threat to your King?
(Thank goodness she didn't but still, why though? It doesn't make any sense.)
Pitou: Yes. It is my sworn duty as a Royal Guard to protect the King from all possible threats. But you see, and you might not believe a word I say, but I sort of felt bad for what I did to your friend. Idk why but I did. I can't explain it.
Killua: Bad? Why would you feel bad for the enemy?
Pitou: Like I said! I don't know why I felt bad. I just did, ok? Its just like when the King asked me to save & heal that woman & for some strange reason that made me cry.
Idk why I felt like crying at that moment. Its like when the King said to me he was counting on me to save Komugi it was like he was saying I was *the only one who can do it.*
Killua(gasp)
(Gon: I need Killua to hold the ball. He's the only one who can do it!)
Killua: tsk, are you ants not capable of understanding your own emotions or feelings?
(Then again I shouldn't be talking. It wasn't till I started hanging around Gon, not to mention removing illumi's damn needle, did I finally learn what it was like to love & care for other. Before I met Gon I was no different than Pitou, the Troupe, or the rest of my family when she killed Kite, a killer with no soul or compassion.)
Pitou: Perhaps not. I'm sure the King has been feeling the same way ever since he met Komugi. He too was probably confused on why he felt the way he did for Komugi & why he immediately rushed to her aid when
(Death glare towards Killua)
one of your allies unleashed that dragon like attack from the sky. Which could of killed her. Killua: (silent)
Pitou: And when I saw your friend just fall to his knees I just couldn't help but to feel bad. I just couldn't stop thinking, is this how the King would of felt if something had happen to Komugi? Was this human I killed the same to this kid as Komugi was to the King? I wasn't sure.
All I knew was at that moment I had no desire to kill him anymore. The way he reacted when I told him the truth made me realize that this human I killed meant as much to him as Komugi means to the King. And now my only desire now is to protect Komugi. Because I don't ever want see the King in the same state as your friend. Sad, angry, & depressed. I only want to see the King happy & if that woman is what makes him happy
*I'll do whatever it takes to protect Komugi!*
Killua, shocked in what Pitou had said is exactly what he told himself when he fought Rammot. (She's...just like me. She's willing to do whatever it takes to protect her King & the one he trully cares about & is even willing to go as far as to sacrifice her own life if need be to do so. That's what makes us the same because that is exactly what I do for Gon.)
Pitou: So now...
Killua: And now...what?
Pitou: (sigh) Forget it. I need to be going now. I can sense that your friend is on his way here & I rather not see him again so soon.
Killua: He's on his way here?
(I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Gon's always been able to bounced back & recover fast. Its just like when he lost to Knuckle & couldn't go back to NGL. He was depressed but he quickly got over it. I guess he's gotten over the truth about Kites death.)
Pitou: Listen. If your friend sees me again I can tell he'll most likely try to attack me & if he does...
Killua: (silent & scared, knowing he wasn't gonna like what he was about to hear)
Pitou: I will have no choice but to defend myself from him.
Killua:(scared) If...if you think I'll just stand by & let you...
Pitou: So I suggest you go calm your friend down & prevent him from confronting me again. Knock him out or something like you did back then when we all first met.
Killua: What?
Pitou: Your heard me. Now, go already! And don't return back to the palace. Otherwise Pouf & Youpi will no doubt try to kill you & your friend.
Killua: So, your just gonna let us go? Your not gonna try to finsh us off?
(I can't believe it. She's actually gonna let us go.)
Pitou: As long as you two don't interfere & return back to the palace. I will spare your lives. Now hurry! Your friend is... (In the distance)
Gon: PITOU!
Pitou: Shit, look I have to go now. Remember what I said- Do...not...return.
Killua: I...sigh...fine then.
Won't be easy to stop Gon though but I'll try.
As Pitou is about to leave & run back to the palace she looks at Killua with tears in her eyes & says: BTW, Thank you.
Killua, shocked & confused at what Pitou had said, responds with: For what?
Pitou: For stopping your friend back when I was healing Komugi. If you hadn't then me & Komugi would of been killed. So, thank you, for stopping your friend & giving me just enough time to heal Komugi. I will not forget that.
Before Pitou could start running Gon sends an attack, paper, towards Pitou.
Pitou of course was able to dodge the attack with ease.
Gon: Pitou!
Killua: Gon wait! (Stands between Gon & Pitou)
Just wait a second Gon!
Gon: Out of the way Killua! That thing (points to Pitou) needs to pay for what it did to Kite!
Killua: Gon just listen to me!
Gon: (shoves Killua out of the way)
I'm sorry Killua, but I have to kill that thing. It doesn't deserve to live after it killed Kite.
(Powers up)
Pitou: (Sigh, I guess I don't have a choice)
Gon, I meant it when I said I was sorry. But if you try to attack me then you'll leave me with no choice (powers up) but to defend myself. So please, I advise you to stand down.
Gon: SHUT UP! NO MORE TALKING. FIGHT ME! If I die then I'll be damn sure to take you down with me!
(Powers up even more & runs towards Pitou while charging up his Jajanken for Rock)
Killua: GON! DON'T! (Activates Godspeed & runs to stop Gon)
As Gon charges towards Pitou she activates Terpsichora & then suddenly a bright light appears fron out of nowhere & surroundeds all three of them in it.
