Chapter 10: The Testing Gate

Author: Sorry for the long wait, vacation and future stories were in the way.

Killua: Right *rolls eyes*

Gon: Well, I'm excited because I will be starring in one of the new stories right?

Author: Yup, you should be happy too Killua.

Gohan: I always star in your stories...

Author: Anyway, PLEASE STAY TUNED AFTER CHAPTER FOR SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! Any KINGDOM HEARTS FANS, SHONEN FANS (HXH, DBZ, Naruto, etc.), PLEASE READ AUTHOR NOTES!

"You need more rest. Gon!"

The boy kept walking with a scowl on his face. There was no reasoning with him now after what he heard what happened with Killua. What kind of brother would do that? Killua was just fine before Illumi showed up! If he were there he could've stopped him. Just thinking back at the situation made him mad!

"Where is everyone else?" He asks lowly, not stopping for the examiner to keep up.

His question was answered when Gohan stepped outside, a dangerous glare on his face. Behind him was Kurapika and Leorio who tried to call him back. Gon stopped and made eye contact with the Saiyan, who eyes softened at him but quickly shook it off. He's never seen Gohan this upset before and it was scary! His eyes simply told the whole story. He was angry, he looked betrayed and yet he looked sad at the same time.

"Gohan, where are you going?!" Leorio asks, concern on his face.

The demi-saiyan came to a halt and looked over his shoulder at his friends.

"I'm going to get Killua back at Kukuroo Mountain!"

"Are you crazy? They're assassins, you can get yourself killed!" Leorio, at this point, was starting to beg. He never wanted to see one of his friends get hurt again, especially one this young. He already lost Pietro and now he was going to lose Gohan? He won't let that happen!

"Gohan, stop! Don't-"

"Stay here, Gon! I'll be back with Killua!" He snaps rather harshly at his friend. Gon stopped running and his eyes went wide from the sudden change of tone in his voice.

He didn't even wait for his pupil to respond before taking off, leaving behind a strong gust of wind.

"I swear he's trying to get himself killed…" Leorio mumbles, rubbing his head.

Kurapika could only chuckle at him. "No, he knows what he's doing. Gohan's special, Leorio. He knows things we haven't even heard of and fought enemies we never knew existed. I'm sure he can handle a few assassins."

"Really?" The young doctor asks, taken aback by the Kurta Clan member. "He told you all of that? Why didn't he tell me?"

Kurapika shrugged despite knowing the answer. If he didn't tell Gon or Killua, why would he tell Leorio? Looking back, Gohan must've told him because he was the only one suspecting something. Gon was too naïve to catch on, Killua couldn't care less, and Leorio was too stubborn. He was surprised though that Gon didn't notice because Gohan was a terrible liar. Must've been that he was too attached to him.

Gon walked up to his friends with determination on his face. "We have to meet him at Kukuroo Mountain…Killua's our friend too and I won't let Gohan get hurt. C'mon!" The son of Ging flashed them a smile when they nodded in agreement with him.

Just when Illumi entered the courtyard, Gon and his friends were already gone. With a sigh he glanced over at Hisoka, who was resting against the wall with his eyes shut and arms crossed. How long was he standing there for?

"You've been there the whole time haven't you?" He asks with his head tilted to the side.

Hisoka nodded before gazing down at the assassin's wrist.

Following his eyes, Illumi lifted his arm up to examine it.

"Oh this? Yup, it's broken."

With a sigh, Hisoka lowered his head. "Is it okay to give away an assassin's base of operations?"

"Sure it is, it isn't a secret or anything." He replies facing the magician with a dull expression. "All the locals know where we live. Well, I guess they'll see the light when they arrive. We live in complete different worlds…"

"That stunt you pulled before was unacceptable." Hisoka snaps, stepping forward toward the assassin. "You know Gohan is my prey and if you touch him you will suffer the consequences."

Illumi blinked at him, not taking the threat that seriously. Then again, Hisoka is a man of his word. He knew Gohan was for Hisoka and Killua was for him. That was the sort of deal they had. If he touched Killua, he'd suffer and if he touched Gohan, he'll suffer. Gon was on his list too but Gohan was the main priority. All three of them had potential, they could agree on that. They just need them to show it…

"I know." He finally replies after the short silence. "I've only met you for a short time, but I know your tastes. So, Hisoka. What are you going to do now?"

The magician was silent again for a minute before lifting his head up, a smirk curved on his face, a smirk that'll make anyone shiver. Even Illumi found himself a little taken aback by the look on his face. This is new…

"Wait patiently." Was all he said, uncrossing his arms.

That was enough for Illumi so he walked away from Hisoka, but the magician's smirk grew that into a perverted one. A red aura soon formed around his body as he thought of the young fighter. He has so much potential it made him excited! He was strong as well! If he could beat the Chairman, there was nearly no one who can stop him. That has to mean he's hiding things! Things that'll make him more interesting…maybe even more fun!

The looks he gave him…

His hatred for him…

It turns him on!

"For the fruit to ripen…"

DBZ Universe

The Z-fighters were all gathered in Capsule Corp after receiving the news of Gohan's disappearance. Piccolo was the first to arrive, surprisingly, with Dende, then Chi-Chi arrived shortly after. Tears were already streaming down her face once she stepped foot into the building with her father, the Ox-King.

Vegeta was, like always, furious that Bulma had interrupted his training for a problem they had already discussed. Why would she cut his training short if he already knew about this damn situation?! Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Puar, Oolong and Master Roshi were the last to arrive.

"Is it true, Bulma?" Chi-Chi sobs in her father's arms. "Is my Gohan really gone?"

Bulma frowned at her friend. "I wouldn't say 'gone' yet, but he's not here right now. I promise I'll get him back, Chi-Chi. Just give me a few weeks and I'll-"

"A few weeks?!" Chi-Chi unexpectedly screeches, causing Vegeta and Piccolo's ears to ring. "I can't wait that long for my baby boy to come back! Who knows what kind of danger he's in right now!? My baby could be dead by now!"

The blue haired scientist glanced back at her friends for support. None of them, however, even attempted to have Bulma's back on this one. Even Dende, the guardian of Earth, took a step back from the sobbing mother. 'Some friends you guys are…' She thought with one of her eyes twitching.

"Do you know exactly where you sent Gohan?" Piccolo asks clearly worried for his pupil's, no, friend's safety. Just a few days ago he was talking to him, remembering how happy he sounded and the stories he told about his little brother.

"Not exactly. I did research and found some coordinates similar to ours." She responds. "But I don't know how that world is. Maybe it's similar to ours…"

"And if it isn't?" Yamcha snaps, worried for his younger friend. "For all we know Gohan could be in trouble as we speak!"

Chi-Chi sobbed louder.

Bulma glared at her ex-boyfriend. "Thanks for that, Yamcha. Anyway, while I was doing some research I found something very odd." There was a short tension between the Z-fighters before the scientist continued. "Just a little while ago, I went to check the coordinates again but this time, the numbers kept changing. It's like someone or something is interfering with the Dimension Hopper. But it was destroyed…I don't get it."

"Well we can't just sit here and do nothing!" Tien exclaimed, eyes narrowed at the group. "Gohan is out there in a whole new dimension. He could be in danger…"

That's when Vegeta cut him off with a snort.

"A Saiyan with his power can handle himself, he's the one who defeated Cell after all." He simply states, arms crossed and eyes shut. "If anything, you should be worried about the poor idiots who decide to take him on. No mere human could take on a Super Saiyan or an Ascended Super Saiyan."

Piccolo's gaze then met the Prince's. "Oh? And how would you know, smartass?"

Vegeta's prideful smirk quickly fell. "Is there a problem, Big Green?"

"You bastard!"

"Fighting is getting us nowhere!" Bulma shouts, stopping the two warriors from tearing each other apart. "If we want Gohan back we have to work together. That means no fighting, no training," He scowl met Vegeta's, who let out a growl. "…and no flirting." Her gaze then met Roshi's, who was trying to reach for her chest.

"Mind if I help?" A familiar voice asks from behind them.

The Z-fighters turned around and their nervous faces were quickly changed to awe.

"Trunks?!"

"Okay so let me get this straight: In approximately one year something very terrible will happen to the world Gohan is in?" Goku repeated, his mind racing with more questions.

Shin nodded. "I'm afraid so, Goku. You see, we managed to track down the evil wizard Babidi and stopped him from awakening Buu. Unfortunately, he fled before we could kill him. Supposedly, he found another being to his liking and left. At the damage he's taken, I give him no longer than a year to make it there."

Goku stood up on his feet and scratched his head. "But wait, if you're the Supreme Kai, couldn't you have chased after him?"

Shin sighed. "I do not have that kind of power to do so. I also don't know how Babidi obtained this kind of power." He then smiled at the fighter. "But I wouldn't worry too much, Son Goku. I've informed your friend, Trunks, and he said he'll gladly help Gohan deal with Babidi."

Goku sighed in relief. "Thank you, Trunks!"

King Kai's antennas rose up for a split second. "Um, that's not the only thing he has to be worried about."

Supreme Kai faced him, his eyebrows risen. "What seems to be the problem?"

"I just felt a terrible dark energy just shoot out of nowhere. It's so massive I can feel it from several light years away!" At this point, King Kai began to sweat nervously. "Something is attracting their attention! I don't know if it's Gohan or Babidi or the world itself!"

"That's impossible!" Kibito, Shin's bodyguard, snapped. "Supreme Kai would've sensed it hours ago!"

"Wait, I feel it now…And it's not too far from Gohan's location!" Supreme Kai, who now felt the dark energy, exclaims. "If Babidi gets his hands on this kind of stuff who knows what he'll do?! Kibito, we must tell Trunks to hurry up!"

Goku reached out for the two before they vanished into thin air.

"King Kai! What's going on?!"

"A very dark energy is coming for your son, Goku." He warns lowly, his head dropping. "I don't know why it wants him, but I'm afraid Trunks won't be no help at all. This energy…I never thought it could find its way there…Goku, we're screwed if we can't find help."

"Next we have Bodoro versus Leorio!"

The two participants met in the middle of the circle. Bodoro slipped in a stance but Leorio simply stood in place, his hands in his pockets. He didn't know any type of special martial arts like Bodoro, but he had to win this to get his license. He also didn't want to lose in front of his friends…

"Ready?"

Gohan smiled at the doctor, wishing him luck in his head. He knew Bodoro had an advantage when it came to fighting, but he knew somehow or someway Leorio could win this fight.

"You think Leorio stands a chance, Killua? Killua?"

That's when his eyes went wide when he spotted the person behind Bodoro. It was Killua, his face having no emotion.

"KILLUA! NO!"

SPLAT

Bodoro collapsed, lifeless and nearly all the blood escaping from the hole in his back. Leorio and the others stared on in shock and horror, but Gohan felt something different. He was angry, no even angrier, he was pissed off.

In one swift motion, he grabbed the emotionless Killua by the collar and swung his fist across his jaw. The Zoldyck made a small grunt, watching his own blood leave his mouth before falling to the floor. He snapped out of his senses and placed a hand on his jaw and glanced up at his mentor.

"I'm sorry." He whispers loud enough for the demi-saiyan to hear.

Gohan stared down at his hands in realization.

He just hit one of his friends…one of his best friends…

"Killua…I'm…" His voice trailed off before he collapsed to his knees, face to face with his friend. Killua rose up from the ground, his blue eyes meeting Gohan's onyx ones.

"Don't be sorry…I deserved it. Thank you."

Gohan snapped out of the sudden flashback when a mountain came to view. On top of said mountain was a mansion and around the building was a large gate. Of course, Illumi gave him no description of the place, but this had to be it. Just by looking at the design and layout of the building, he knew Killua was there.

'Don't worry, Killua. I'm coming.'

When he landed, he met face to face with a giant, steel gate with numbers etched on them. It had to be the size of a building in West City, if not smaller. Beside the gate was a regular wooden door next to a security checkpoint.

"I guess this is the way in?"

Glancing at the gate one last time, he walked towards the security checkpoint, hoping if someone could allow him inside. Sticking his head in the door, an old man wearing a security cap and suit was reading a book and he looked actually interested in it.

"Um, excuse me?"

The security guard lifted his head from the book and smiled warmly at the young boy.

"Oh, how may I help you, child?" He asks, motioning for the boy to come inside.

Gohan rubbed the back of his head. "I'm here to see Killua. I'm a friend of his."

He noticed the surprised looks on the man's face when he told him he was Killua's friend.

"I see. Well, I'm happy to hear that." The man chuckles before pulling a chair out for the demi-saiyan. "I've worked here for twenty years, but this is the first time any friends have come to visit." Gohan remained silent and sat down. "Since I work here, I shouldn't say this, but the place is rather lonely. No one ever visits."

Gohan rose an eyebrow at this. "Really? No intruders or tourists or anything?"

"Oh, we get tourists." He replies, pouring himself some tea. "Actually, we should have a tour bus coming here pretty soon. Now that reminds me, how did you find your way up here?"

"Let's just say I have my ways." Gohan chuckles, rubbing the back of his head nervously before taking a sip of his cup of tea.

The man seemed to examine him for a moment before smiling. "Oh, that makes sense." Ignoring the boy's confused expression, the man returned to the previous topic. "And as for intruders, they don't turn out so well…"

Gohan gasped when he pointed to a garbage can full of human bones and skulls. He could tell they were torn apart by something by the giant bite and scratch marks on the bones and the torn clothes.

"Well, a family of assassins is pretty unusual. So, I suppose they pay the price." He sighs before giving the young Saiyan a bow. "Anyway, I'm glad you're here. Thank you."

Blushing, Gohan chuckled at him. "Don't mention it."

'This guy's super nice…maybe everyone else here is too.'

He hardly doubt Killua's family were nice, but maybe the staff were. Then again, they're protecting assassins, so they must take their job seriously. That guy, however, wasn't really taking it seriously. His happy, friendly expressions surprised him at first. Was he hiding something?

"However, I cannot let you inside."

Gohan's smile vanished and his eyes were narrowed at him, encouraging him to go on.

"As you can see from the corpses, there's a large creature on the other side." He warns. "Its name is Mike. It serves as the Zoldyck family watchdog. It obeys family, and will attack anyone else. The beast still follows the order its master gave it ten years ago…to kill every intruder. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't want to reduce Killua's one and only friend to bones."

Staring down at his cup, Gohan took one last sip before placing it back on the table. "I'm not his one and only friend, sir. There's more on their way."

However, they weren't that close to the mountain. Their power levels were fuzzy, indicating they're far away.

This made the security guard's eyes go wide for a moment before chuckling. "Ah, that's wonderful news! I'm glad to see young Killua make some friends. So tell me, how did you two meet? It's not every day you befriend an assassin. You must be brave to just walk up to him…"

"Actually, he asked to be my friend first." The demi-saiyan corrected him, grinning from ear to ear at that memory. "I guess it's not every day an assassin does that, huh?"

"No, actually it's very rare." He responds surprised before leaning back on his chair and sighing. "Anyway, I'm sorry but I can't let anyone else in…"

"But I need to see him!" Gohan told the man, standing up from his seat with his fists clenched. "Is there any other way to get inside without meeting Mike?" He then pointed at the large gate behind him. "What about that gate? Can I go through there?"

The man rubbed his forehead, uncertain if he should let him go through.

"If not, I'll go through the door so I can face Mike. I'll be an intruder."

"Unfortunately, I cannot lend you the key." He states as he lowered his head apologetically. Gohan crossed his arms over his chest, annoyed by the man's reasoning. If he was glad to see one of Killua's friends, wouldn't he let him go in and see him? "I will not feed one of young Killua's friends to Mike."

"But-"

"Well, please wait for a moment."

Obliging, Gohan huffed as the gatekeeper dialed the phone. There was a short pause before someone on the other line picked up. The two talked for a bit until the gatekeeper began to grow nervous, apologizing to the person before hanging up. Gohan rose an eyebrow at him as he approached him.

"You called the mansion?" He asks, tilting his head to the side.

"No, I was speaking with the Zoldyck family butler. All communication with the mansion must go through the butler. It's very difficult to reach any of the family members." He explains.

Gohan narrowed his eyes. "Could you call him again? I'll talk to him."

With a shrug, the gatekeeper dialed the number and handed the phone to the demi-saiyan.

"Yes, this is the butler's office." An older man's voice spoke after only one dial tone of waiting.

"This is one of Killua's friends, Gohan. Is Killua there?"

"Killua has no friends."

*Click*

The line was dead.

Keeping the same innocent expression on his face but shaking in rage, he dialed again.

The butler answered after two dial tones.

"Yes, this is the butl-"

"KILLUA DOES HAVE FRIENDS SO I WANT YOU TO PUT HIM ON THE PHONE RIGHT NOW!"

There was a short pause between the two before the butler answered with a grunt.

"…I believe you said that you were Gohan."

"Yeah…"

"Let us pretend that Killua happens to have a friend named Gohan."

"Which he does."

The butler ignored him. "There is no proof that you are Gohan."

Gohan slammed his hand on the table with a growl. "If you put Killua on the phone, he'll recognize me!"

"By your voice?"

Before he could answer back, he heard his own voice from the other line, making his eyes go wide for a second. 'Was he imitating me?'

"That was a simple recording. And there are many other ways to mimic a person's voice. Next, you'll claim that he'd recognize you by sight. There are only a few methods by which you could perfectly mimic someone's appearance. But it still isn't impossible."

"But that doesn't-"

"Additionally, it's possible that someone forced you to approach Killua for sinister purposes. As long as the threat exists, I cannot let you meet with Killua. The Zoldyck family practices the trade of assassination. Naturally, it has made enemies. As butlers, our duty is to guard our masters from their enemies. I apologize, but please leave."

Then the line went dead again.

Gohan was now shaking with rage, nearly crushing the phone in his hand. He came all the way over here to get Killua, now he won't be able to see him?! Do these people not believe Killua has friends? Just because he's an assassin it doesn't mean he can't make friends!

Dropping the phone, he approached the gate and stared at it for a moment. He could've gone through the door and come face to face with Mike, but the gatekeeper, Zebro, never told him about this gate.

"They call this gate The Gate of Hades." Zebro says, standing behind the Saiyan with a smile. "If you are deciding to go through this gate, you won't have to worry about Mike. He has orders to not attack anyone who enters through the Testing Gate." The boy nodded, still facing the large gate. "I should mention that each of gate one's doors weigh about two tons."

"Two tons?" Gohan repeats, taken aback by the sudden information. "And there's more than one gate?"

Zebro nodded. "There are seven gates. When you go up a gate, the weight doubles. The number of gates that open depends on the amount of strength you use. Incidentally, when young Killua returned, he opened gates one through three."

'Sixteen tons? That's impressive, Killua.'

"Do you understand now?" He asks, placing his hands on his hips. "This is what's required just to get in the door. They live in a completely different world."

Gohan smirked, "Well so do I."

With a grunt, he pushed open gate one, followed by two, followed by three, followed by four…then five…

Zebro's eyes went wide at the boy's strength, but Gohan never noticed his expression before slipping through the gate, grinning at the gatekeeper.

"Thank you, Zebro-san!" He laughs before gate two began shutting.

Shaking off his expression, Zebro waved goodbye. "I shall wait for the rest of your friends!"

The Son boy gave the man a bow before the final gate shut. Now he was on his own…on private property belonging to assassins.

"Let's see what this family's made of."

Author: I know, short chapter but I'll make it up to all of you with an extra long chapter next! And what is this mysterious dark energy heading towards our heroes? Why's Babidi coming? Stay tuned!

ATTENTION: I'm currently planning a Kingdom Hearts story/AU since I've been hooked on KH for a while. As for worlds? I was thinking about doing Shonen Worlds to replace Disney worlds, or Warner Bros worlds. Can you guys help me? I need your votes to determine the story!

I'm also looking for a Co-Writer for the story...or a Beta-Reader. I need someone who knows their Shonen Anime/Kingdom Hearts facts. Really appreciated.

As for the future of this story, I might add another character from a different franchise...

What do you guys think? Like it? Dislike it? Tell me why...
