Hi everyone! This is the new chapter I hope you enjoy reading this one!

Nightmare X Tsu-Tsu Fly X Wisely Chosen


Emi's P.O.V.

We were still walking through the jungle, following the man, Shia, who was taking us back to his village.

"It's been an hour. I thought you said your village isn't too far." Killua said complaining.

"It isn't, but we have to take the long way. I'll explain everything later. Right now, we should move as fast as we can." Shia told Killua.

"You should have gone back to the hotel to rest." I told him.

"You don't get it. I can't sleep even if I wanted to." He told me.

"Have you tried taking sleeping pills?" I asked him.

"Yes, and that didn't help. I don't have problems falling asleep, I just..." He barely said.

"Nightmares?" I asked.

"... Sort of." He answered. "But it's not like you and the snake thing." He continued.

"Really? Well, what is it then?" I asked him.

"... It's not something specific." He told me while looking away.

"You're lying again." I told him.

"No, I'm not." He said.

"You don't look at me when you're lying." I smiled while telling him that.


Killua's P.O.V.

HOW DOES SHE KNOW THAT?

"What? That's not true. Who told you that? Was it Gon?" I told her. I shouldn't tell him anything anymore. He always gives in and tells her everything.

"No one had to tell me. It's obvious." She said.

"Killua, Emi!" We heard Gon calling out from a distance. "Shia says you should pick up the pace! You're falling behind!" He yelled out.

We both didn't realize that we were falling behind. I guess we just got too caught up in our own conversation to notice...

"Come on, let's go." Emi said while heading towards Gon and Shia. I followed closely behind.

"I think we have a problem." Shia said.

"A problem?" Gon said curiously.

"Yes, the Tsu-Tsu fly is coming." He told us.

"What's a Tsu-Tsu fly?" Emi asked.

"It's a fly that causes it's prey to fall asleep." He explained.

"How ironic." I said.

"It's not deadly, and as soon as it attacks it's target, it dies." Shia told us. "But it attacks randomly, so it could be any one of us." He added.

We stayed in our place as Shia told us and waited. After nearly two minutes the fly came. It looked just like an ordinary fly, but it was much faster.

"Don't make any sudden moves. There's a good chance that it might leave us alone if it doesn't detect any humans." Shia said.

We stayed still for a moment and then, unfortunately, the fly did detect humans and decided to bite Emi.

"Ouch." She said holding the back of her neck where the fly bit her.

"I guess she chose you." I told her.

"Good. The fly chose the lightest one of us." Shia said.

She instantly fell asleep after that, but I held her before she could fall.

"Well, we should keep on moving." Shia said.

"How long will Emi be asleep?" Gon asked Shia.

"By the looks of it, I'd say not less than twelve hours." He explained.

"It's not a big deal, is it?" I asked him while carrying her and walking. "You said it's not dangerous."

"It's not. Don't worry." Shia reassured us.

"How far is your village, Shia-san?" Gon asked him again.

"We will stop and rest for the night and then continue our way to the village. It won't take longer than a day to reach it." He told us. "We should save our energy." He continued.

"Okay." Gon said.

I was sitting under one of the trees while holding her in my arms when Gon approached me.

"Are you going to stay up, Killua?" Gon asked.

"I really don't have a choice, do I?" I told him.

"You don't have to watch over her. I can do it." Gon suggested.

"No, no, it's not that... I actually like having her in my arms." I confessed. "But if you tell Leorio that, you're going to regret it, Gon." I told him.

"I won't tell him. I promise." Gon smiled widely and then went to sleep.

I looked down at Emi... She should seriously stop being so cute!

After a few hours of resisting to fall asleep, because I know I'm going to end up having the same dream anyway, I fell asleep holding Emi...


Ooooooh... Let's see where this will take us!

To be honest, the thing that's keeping me from posting early is because this story is not getting reviews like it used to.

So please, don't forget to review! Thanks!

I'll see you next time!
