Hey! In this chapter there is some bonding. It's kinda cute but not as cute as chapter five. I'm already fangirling over it! I really hope you enjoy this chapter. Sorry for any grammar mistakes. Please R&R.

Killua POV-
We stood at a window eating the steaks Saph had gotten for us in friendly silence. It gave me time to think. I know next to nothing about Sapphire. Who is she? Where did she come from?
Gon broke the silecne saying, "Hey I was wondering..." We both looked at him. "Where are you're mom and dad, Killua?
"Hmm.. They're alive. Probably."
"What do they do?"
"They're assassins," I replied putting my chin in my hand.
"Really?!/Both of them?!" Gon and Sapphire asked at the same time. I couldn't help but laugh.
"What?" Gon asked cocking his head to the side.
"That's your first reaction?" I asked whipping my eyes.
"What about you Sapphire?" He asked.
She looked down sadly.
Noticing his mistake he said, "You don't have to answer if it's to hard."
"No it's fine." She sighed before continuing, "You could say I grew up in a normal family. My parents noticed I was a little... Off, as they would call it. My parents called it anger issues. So, I left when I was six. I was living on the streets hiding from the police. After awhile a woman found me, Celestia. She taught me how to fight and protect myself. She was like a mother to me. I'm sure my family is still looking for me."
Suddenly I felt a presence behind us. Whirling around I saw that no one was there.
Looking to the left I saw the chairman standing there.
"You're fast old man," Sapphire and I said in sync. We both looked at each other furrowing our brows.
Netero just smiled. "How about we play a game?"
Sapphire POV-
A game?! How old does he think we are five?
"If you can beat me. I'll automatically make you a pro hunter."
My eyes widened in shock at his words. A Hunter? What is this old man thinking?
"Really?! I'll play!" Gon said excitedly.
We walked to a nearby room where Netero took off his shirt and pulled out a ball from who knows where.
"Now, I'll go over the rules of the game. If you can take this ball from me before we reach our destination you win. You can attack me in anyway and I won't touch you."
"What that's to easy. That's not a game," Gon complained.
"So all we have to do is take the ball from you?" Netero nodded. "Then I'll go first."
Killua started circling Netero. Soon after images appeared behind him. Gon looked amazed. So he already knows Rhythm Echo. I gotta hand it to him. He attacked Netero going mildly fast. He kept this up for a few minutes. He delivered a kick to Neteros leg only hop back in pain.
"Oh. Oh. Tag me in. Tag me in." Gon jumped up and down excitedly. He's so childish.
Killua tagged him in and Gon walked into the middle of the room. He began stretching his legs. When he was ready he disappeared only to appear in the air. I watched as he went up and hit his head on the roof.
"Dummy we know you can jump!" Killua face palmed.
Gon rubbed his head but continued to attack Netero. Netero was just playing around with him. After awhile Gon tired.
"Hey, Gon, let me try," I said looking at him hopefully.
"Sure," he smiled.
I pulled off my shoes. For some reason I always do better without them. Walking to the middle of the room I stared him down. He's quick, smart, and not even breaking a sweat. This should be fun.
I took off quickly and grabbed for the ball. Just barely missing I slid and pushed off the ground sending me flying in his direction. I switched directions disappearing. Flying above him I used the ceiling to propel myself towards the ball.
I missed yet again. I need to go faster. We fell into a sort of rhythm.
Dodge. Faster. Dodge. Faster. Dodge. Faster! Dodge. FASTER!
Finally I just stopped. Looking behind me I saw Gon and Killua looking at me in awe. I turned back to Netero who was waiting patiently. I'm not ready for them to see this. I thought as I punched the ground creating a cloud of dust.
Using the dust to my advantage I went after Netero with five times my normal speed. I probably looked like a blur. Everything moved in slow motion. I saw Netero's surprise at my speed. He smirked and dodge. Damn. Pushing off the ground I created a crater about the size of a kiddie pool.
Surprising me Netero pushed me into ground. It didn't hurt it was just surprising.
"How about you all attack me," He said as the dust cleared. Getting up I noticed that it had only been almost two hours since I started. It had felt like mere minutes.
"I'll sit this one out," I said sliding my back down the wall.
As I looked out at the room I noticed I had left craters all over the room. When did that happen?
~A Few Hours Later~
I watched as Gon and Killua sat sweating. They were panting. Killua had taken his shirt off long ago. He stood up muscles contracting with every movement.
"Forget it... I give up."
Walking away from Netero he picked up his shirt.
"Huh...why? We still have time." Gon said pointing to the clock.
"He's barely used his right arm and left leg. Even if we tried for a year we still couldn't get the ball." So he noticed to.
"He's right," I said joining the conversation, "I'm gonna a get some sleep."
Walking away I heard Killua following me. I slowed down so he could catch up.
"I know why you really left." He looked surprised. "I could feel your anger all the way across the room," I laughed.
He looked down at the ground. Two men were walking towards us. Killua bumped into them.
"Hey! Watch where you're going kid!" One of them yelled.
"Don't ignore us you bastard!" They yelled while running at him. He turned around to face them. They stopped a few feet away ready for a fight.
"Killua maybe you should apologize," I whispered. He made no move to say that he had heard me.
"Maybe we could get your little girlfriend to compensate." They smirked. My eyes widened. Oh hell no!
Killua's head lifted. His eyes were distant and aggressive. Without hesitating he tore both their heads off in one fell swoop.
"Don't touch her!" He said through clenched teeth.
I put my hand on his shoulder saying, "Its ok." When he didn't reply I lifted his head. Looking him in the eye I said, "I'm fine."
Finally beginning to look like himself he looked down ruefully.
"I'm sorry. I was just so mad."
"Believe me I know the feeling." I smiled while stepping away from him.
"Let's get some sleep."
"Yea." He finally smiled.
Oh a little cliffhanger. I think. Well whatever. I hope you enjoyed this chappie. I definitely enjoyed writing it. Favorite and all that good stuff. Don't forget to be on the look out for chapter five!
