Disclaimer: I do not own Hunter X Hunter
At that day, Emi felt like a new chapter of her life was beginning. She woke up extra early to meet Gon and Killua as usual. Only this time, it was their last day of training in that meadow she loved. She had everything ready and was about to leave when she heard Haru's voice behind her…
"Where do you think you're going, young lady?" She said, scolding her step-daughter.
Emi turned around to face her. "I'm leaving."
And just as Emi expected, she said "Leaving?! Where are you going?!" She shrieked.
"I'm a hunter. I can't stay here all my life." Emi said turning the other way.
"Emi… I understand how you feel…" Haru said, suddenly lowering her voice and speaking smoothly.
Emi didn't expect her to say something like that, so she turned around to face her again.
"I won't tell your father about this…" Haru said again, trying to get on Emi's good side.
Emi was really surprised… Is she really Haru?
"But I have a condition." Haru said, resuming her previous scolding tone.
"Like always…" Emi mumbled to herself. She pointed to Emi's clothes, which were a tank top and some shorts. "You need to wear a dress."
Emi was surprised by the ridiculously silly condition. "Are you serious?" She asked, wondering if that woman really only cared about appearances.
"If you don't, I'll just call your father." Haru said.
"Why do you want me to wear a dress anyway?" Emi was very curious. "Don't you wear enough dresses yourself?"
"Didn't I tell you this before? You're Emi Soad! I can't let you walk out this mansion looking like that!" she pointed to what Emi was wearing again.
Emi sighed. "Fine."
"Marvelous. Now come on, let me pick out a nice dress for you…" She kept on talking about Emi's hair, shoes and all that stuff, but Emi wasn't really listening. She just wanted to get her off her back and leave this small town.
After they boarded the ship, Gon decided to take out his fishing rod and catch some fish. Emi discovered that it was his hobby. She found herself looking at the beautiful sunset on the ship's deck. She couldn't believe that she was actually leaving this place. She wonder what her father would have said. Her thoughts were interrupted…
"Daydreaming already?" Killua said with his famous mischievous smile. "You really are a weird one." He stood beside her.
She smiled at him and said "Not as weird as you." Then looked at the sunset again. "I'm just thinking…"
"Having doubts?" He seemed to understand how she felt at that moment.
"How did you know that?" She looked at him curiously.
He smiled and said "I've been there before. I felt the exact same way after I left my family."
She looked back at the sky which was now dark. "You had a good reason to leave, but I don't."
"Whatever the reason is. If you don't feel like you belong somewhere, then you should leave and find a place where you do." He said and smiled. "I didn't want to kill people anymore so I went to the Hunter Exam and met Gon."
"You never went back to your family?" She asked him.
"Nope." This was the first time that Killua and Emi actually shared a conversation.
"And did you find it? The place where you belong?" Emi looked at Killua.
"... It's out there." He thought for a moment. "I'll know when I find it."
She smiled warmly. "I really hope you find it." She turned back to what she thought was the beautiful sunset she just saw, but it wasn't there anymore. It was nighttime already.
He looked away instantly, flustered.
"I'm getting tired." She rubbed her eyes. "Good night, Killua." And then left to sleep.
Gon and Killua were sitting on the ship's rooftop. Killua couldn't help but think about that guy Emi was with that night. Emi obviously didn't enjoy being with him at all.
Was he the same guy who called her yesterday? Why did she suddenly get nervous when he spoke to her? Why did she change her mind so quickly? Killua thought, finding him very suspicious.
"Gon." Killua looked over at Gon who was now putting his fishing rod aside.
"Hmm?" He replied.
"Who do you think called Emi yesterday?" Killua asked while trying to figure out the answer to the question himself.
"Maybe it was her step-mother." Gon answered simply. Obviously, he didn't pay much attention to the phone call like Killua did.
"Don't you think it's weird how she changed her mind like that?" Killua told him.
Gon blinked which meant that he didn't even listen to the phone call.
Killua sighed. "At first she seemed like she was annoyed by the call then after that, she was shocked and then zoned out when the call ended." Killua was sure that something was going on.
Gon seemed to be thinking about it too.
"Last night I saw her with a guy. I think he's the one that called her." Killua said, coolly and put both hands behind his head and closed his eyes.
"… I understand everything now." Gon said suddenly.
Killua opened his eyes to see a very happy Gon, which made him curious and confused. "What?"
"… Killua Zaoldyeck is jealous!" Gon burst out, smiling wide.
Killua froze up when Gon said that. He immediately removed his hands from the back of his head in shock. "WHAT?!"
So, did you like it?
