Four days had past and Gon was as healthy as ever.
The sun was warm on his face. Killua sat next to him, staring up at the sky.
When Killua had told Gon the reason why they were both on a deserted island was because they were searching for a lost treasure, Gon had insisted they continue to search for it, despite having absolutely no memories of what they were doing. Killua, on the other hand, had insisted that they rest for a couple more days so that Gon could regain all of his strength and hopefully remember a few more things.
Of course, Gon won the argument.
Except right now, they were resting, and Killua was secretly thankful. The shock of having his best friend completely forget about him shook him to the core. It reminded him too much of what his big brother told him would happen if he made friends.
"Killua?" asked Gon.
"Yeah." came the reply
Gon opened his mouth, but then stopped. Shaking his head, Gon looked at the sky.
"I remembered something."
Killua looked over at him. The air became taught. Killua sifted through his own memories. What had Gon remembered? Was it something horrible? Did he remember that he came from a family of assassins? Maybe Gon didn't want to be friend with him anymore because he couldn't remember. Maybe-
"You love chocolates!" shouted Gon, tackling Killua.
Killua laughed. Soon a tickling war had begun. When both sides finally surrendered, Gon was panting loudly.
"Seriously though, I remember a lot now." he said.
Killua glanced at him.
"Like what?"
Gon looked back at him.
"About you."
Killua looked away. So he had remembered.
"Killua." came Gon's voice. It was soft, almost soothing. Killua looked up into big, brown honest eyes.
"I don't just remember bad things." Gon said.
Killua shook his head.
"Even though you lost half of your memories, you're still the same."
At that, Gon flat out laughed.
...
The two boys were following the map through the forest. Apparently, the treasure chest was in a cave by a waterfall, and they could hear up ahead the roaring of gushing water and foaming waves.
Gon bounded ahead, Killua ordering him to wait up.
"There's a pitfall somewhere around here, so be careful." Killua shouted at his jubilant friend. Seriously, Gon never changes, he founded himself thinking.
"Ok!" Gon shouted back.
Killua shook his head.
Suddenly a huge crash split the roar of the waterfall. Gon yelped and disappeared.
"I guess you found the pitfall." said Killua casually. Walking up to the huge hole in the ground, he expected to see Gon staring back up at him with pleading eyes, asking him to help him up.
Instead what he saw was rushing water and a faint flash of green clothes and spiky hair dragged down into its depths.
