I had a coding problem before with this story so I deleted it, but I'm keeping the replies to reviews from before I deleted the story so don't think I'm crazy if you read the replies and see there are currently no reviews! I'm going to put this up on other chapters too. :)

Chapter 10: The fourth phase
~Killua POV~
A door opened revealing the bright blue sky. I picked up Mitsuki who complained saying she could walk. I put her down and she walked perfectly fine, but she refused to show us how she ran knowing we'd make her go on someone's back again. When we all exited the tower there was a man with a purple Mohawk waiting for us next to a table with a strange looking box.
"Congratulations! Now come up in order and take out a tag from the box. You are going to take this ship to Zevil Island, instructions for the fourth phase will be explained on the boat."
We all walked up to get our tags and when we got permission we peeled the seal showing a number. "This will be the tag you will be hunting for."
Everyone hid their tags except me and Gon as we walked onto the boat, I stayed by Mitsuki in case she fell. After all, Leorio did say it won't heal as quickly. I got the number 199, I looked over at Mitsuki who already hid her tag and her target.
Mitsuki walked up to Leorio, "Sorry about earlier, I wasn't going to kill you just I was hoping Tonpa would stop being an asshole but that didn't work."
"That's ok, but next time hold back on me a little please." She put her hand behind her head and laughed nervously in a cute way.
I blushed a little and sat down and Gon sat next to me then Mitsuki sat across from us.
"Soooo... Who did you guys get?" We looked at Mitsuki, "Don't worry I didn't get you guys."
I let out a sigh of relief and so did Gon.
"I didn't get you guys either."
"Me either."
"Want to show it on the count of 3?"
"Sure."
"1, 2, 3!"
We showed our cards and Me and Mitsuki gasped at Gon's card. He got number 44, Hisoka.
"Gon... That's..." Mitsuki didn't finish her sentence.
Gon started shaking while smiling which quite frankly looked creepy.
"Gon are you ok?"
"Yeah. I'm just so scared yet excited."
I looked at Mitsuki's card which was number 198, one away from mine.
"Do you guys know who 199 is?"
They both answered by shaking their head.
"I guess you guys wouldn't know 198 either."
"Nope." Me and Gon both replied.
"Anyways," I turned to Mitsuki, "you know you're not going off on your own."
She sighed and nodded her head, "I was waiting for you to say that."
"I think there are two options, one is Kurapika and the other one is Killua. I'm going after Hisoka so it would be too dangerous, and Leorio... I don't think you would want to be with." Gon said holding a finger up while explaining.
Mitsuki shook her head violently, "I definitely don't want Leorio."
I looked at Gon impressed that he seemed to use his head without having a breakdown.
We looked at Mitsuki, "It's your choice." I said to her
"I think I'll go with Killua since Kurapika is too much of a gentlemen. I'm not saying it like a bad way but I'm awkward around people with manners. I don't want to drag him down and him being the gentleman he is I would feel guilty for holding him down." Mitsuki said playing with her hand in her lap.
"Then I guess it's decided." I said slightly irritated at her explanation of me not having manners pretty much, I'm not saying I do... but still!
The rest of the boat ride we played hand games and talked. At some point a lady tried to lift up the gloominess that seemed to envelope the ship but gave up when everyone gave up.
The next time she spoke was to tell us we were at Zevil Island.
"I'm going to let off people one at a time in the order in which you finished the third phase. Each person will get two minutes before the next one enters. You have a week on Zevil Island, if you finish your job early you have to wait until the week ends. I will now explain your mission. Your mission is to come to the point with six points, your tag is worth three points, your target's tag is worth three points, any other tag is worth one point. Any questions?" The woman said.
Everyone nodded listening to the explanation but no one had questions.
"So we don't have to kill each other." An Amori brother said and sighed happily.
The lady overheard his statement,"Of corse you're allowed to use any method to steal the tag so if you choose killing to steal a tag it's allowed." She said smiling and Making a few people tense, "Now that I explained that, we will begin to let people off.
I pulled Mitsuki to the side, "When you leave walk 209 steps strait, turn 90 degrees to the right, walk 150 steps and hide in the nearest bush or anything really."
She stared at me like I was crazy, "I can't remember that and I don't know really anything about degrees." She said putting a hand behind her head in embarrassment.
I sighed sort of expecting this. "You know what, I'll go before you and wait in the beginning but we have to take off running as soon as you come. In other words, I'm going to pick you up fast so don't scream or do anything stupid to give or it?"
She nodded seriously before wandering back to Gon and the others.
~Mitsuki's P.O.V.~
As soon as I walked into the woods a pair of arms grabbed me and started running. I looked at Killua, "YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK!"
"At least you kept your mouth shut." He said smiling. After five minutes of running he stopped to catch his breath.
"Ne Killua?"
"Hm?"
"I'm sorry I have to rely on you for everything right now."
"Don't worry about it! It not your fault you were stabbed!" He said smiling and patted me on the head.
'I like this side of Killua more than the rude side to him.
"By the way, did you gain weight? I swear you gained a hundred pounds from the last time I carried you!" He said tauntingly.
"You bitch! I have you know I don't weigh that much! You should learn to keep your mouth shut!" I said and attempted to punch him in the face. He dodged with ease laughing at my reaction.
He suddenly stopped laughing and grabbed my hand flinging both of us into a nearby bush.
"What the hell was..." I started but Killua covered my mouth and glared at me.
"Shut up for a second will you?!"
'Thats it I'm going to kill him. How am I going to survive a week with this kid?!'
I heard a few footsteps coming from in front of us. I moved my head slowly to look in front of us. A man I believed was named Bodoro walked past us not noticing us.
When Bodoro was out of side Killua hit me upside the head, "When I pull you over to hide you, if means shut up!"
I rubbed my head where he hit me, "Ok, ok!"
He smiled, "Well now that that's settled, we should get some food."
I nodded, "I have some in my backpack."
"You mean the person you robbed backpack?"
I glared at him, "Shut up! I'm borrowing!"
He raised his hands up and laughed.
We emptied my backpack and picked out the food. Killua saw chocolate and snatched it thinking I didn't see.
I raised an eyebrow at him, "Put it back."
He looked away, "I have no idea what you're talking about."
I tackled him and found it in his pocket. Before I could grab it Killua grabbed it and tried to push me off.
Eventually I was sprawled on the ground, Killua sat on my back happily eating "my" chocolate. I tried kicking him a few times but couldn't reach where he was sitting. After Killua finished his chocolate bar, eating slowly to make it last, he helped me up and smiled.
I glared at him and he stuck his tongue out at me. We both burst into laughter, rolling on the ground. After our little laugh attack we went hunting for a real meal, or more Killua hunted. I cooked our food since Killua is completely hopeless.
After I eating I settled down expecting Killua to lay down too. Instead he looked down at me, "I'll keep watch."
I nodded sleepily and drifted off to sleep.
I woke up and looked around. Killua was laying next to me looking up. I sat up and looked down at Killua who was still laying down. He pulled my sleeve down slightly, "We're being followed, I'm not sure from where but they're probably not that strong.. Be careful though and don't do anything stupid to provoke them."
I nodded and he let my sleeve go."Well what's the plan for today?"
"Just walk around I guess, we don't have to rush since we still have 6 days."
He leaned in, "Try to hide the fact you have an injury."
I nodded, "First thing can I wash my other pair of clothes, I'm changing into them at some point. "
He nodded and we started toward a small pond we walked by earlier.
I splashed water on my face and cleaned my clothes in the pond. The rustling of leaves caught me and Killua's attention as a large man exited the bushes. Killua started to run away thinking I was with him.
"Mitsuki! Stay back!" he yelled when he noticed I stayed.
I clenched my fists but didn't move an inch, "I don't want to be useless! I want to help!"
He looked worried but didn't say anything. The man smirked before taking out a small gun. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Killua flinch but he didn't come in between.
"Tch." 'Great, a gun, how nice.'
I got into a fighting stance while he stood still.
"Kid, you might as well give up and hand over the tag."
"Or what?" I said smirking.
He loaded his gun, "Or this!" He aimed his gun at me as I got ready to run.
He smiled and put his finger on the trigger. I was about to spring from the spot when my head suddenly felt as if it was hit by a rock. Once again an enormous headache came nearly making me lay on the ground. The pain was soaring through my brain as my memory was going out if order. I couldn't concentrate and I couldn't remember what was happening. My vision was getting blurry up to the point everything was just random colors.
Not only was my head hurting but my side was hurting the most of all. It felt as though someone quickly ripped through it, and let me tell you, that hurts like hell.
Through everything that was happening I was able to hear two things, the sound of a gun shooting and a familiar voice. Killua was yelling my name, "MITSUKI!"
