A/N: Sorry for the long wait. I've been trying to think up the battle plan for Possessed and I haven't been inspired enough to start on The Greatest Treasure again. Well, I've got a gift to make it up to you all. A picture of Stasy (and the others). (check my profile)


Must Unite!

"From now on, we're going to begin the preperation for Hatsu," Wing announced to the children. "If you manage to master it, you'll have the nescessary basis to control Nen. Afterwards, you'll have to refin those basics and add your own originality, and create your own Nen. Let's begin.

"The Hatsu is the technique consisting in releasing the Nen. In other words, you will finalize your Nen's skills. It's divided into 6 categories: Emission, Transformation, Reinforcement, Manipulation, Realisation, and Specialisation. What's important for you is to find which one fits. Nen's abilities are linked to the character of each person. The first aptitude is the one we get at birth. The second, is the one we acquire during our lifetimes.

"For example, Gon has a supple, and agile muscular structure, which he was born with. He developed accuracy of his five senses while having fun outside. Following the same principle, we know in which of the six categories we belong to according to the qualities we have when we are born. If you want to learn one of these six abilities, you'll have to decipher which one fits you best."

He produced a dry-erase marker from his pocket and began to mark the white board in his room. "This is the diagram showing the six abilities." On the board, there was a hexagon, with each of the six types on each of the verticies. "The categories are place in the order of affinity. For example, if your aura predisposes to Reinforcement, you'll learn it easily and quickly. After Reinforcement, stands Emission, for which you'll probably have affinities. You'll learn it easily too. Inversely, it'll be hard for you to learn Transformation, which is at the opposite end.

"Hisoka had the skill os using his aura like gum, so it's transformation. Guido uses spinning tops and his increased strength as weapons. It's Reinforcement. To be able to directly spin tops, as a weapon, you must know manipulation as well. This ability didn't fit him, and the efficiency is limited.

"Stasy, your Hair Net attack uses Manipulation to move and grow your hair, however, it also uses Transformation to change the properties of the hair to whatever you want."

"But those categories are no where near each other," Stasy pointed out.

"Exactly, which makes you weird. Naturally, trying to master the other abilities takes more effort the farther away you get from your parent category. For you to have mastered both, without any of the others in between is frightening."

"I think I have the answer," Stasy raised her hand as she had seen Gon do many times. "I have Multiple Personality Disorder. Does this pose a problem?"

Wing and Zushi stared at her in calm shock. That actually explained a lot of things. Wing pushed his glasses up the peak of his nose, trying to remain calm, despite the sweat he was emitting. "Well, Nen is as much psychological as physical. Since your character is so...seperated, each of your different personalities might have different parent categories. I think you might need to explain this to me in detail."

So, Ecstasy told her story, of the nine personalities, well, eight now that Killua killed one, and Wing listened intently to each word. After her story came to the present, he sat silently in a simple, wooden chair, musing and contemplating over what he had just learned. Finally, he spoke.

"From what I can surmise, each of your personalities holds one of the categories, except for one, which might have a similar one, or no category at all. From what I've heard of this Malevolence, she's so powerful, she just might control all of the categories already. We'll just have to try and figure out what each one is. This may take a while..."

"Is there a way to figure out which category you belong to?" Killua asked.

Wing nodded as he produced a thin wine glass from his cupboard and placing it on a table. He filled it with water, and then plucking a leaf from his ficus and placing it ontop of the rim of the water. "The Water Technique. It's a way of distinction at the Shingen Dojo, but also a way of practicing Hatsu. We approach with our hands and start using Ren," he demonstrated for the children. "Thanks to the change that undergoes, we understand."

As the children gazed intently, the water began to bubble up over the room, and soon its contents were continuously pouring over the sides.

"The quantity of water has changed; this is a sign of Reinforcement. It shows us that my aura has affinities with Reinforcement. Who will be first then?"

Gon eagerly came up to the table and began to project his Ren towards the water. Just as Wing's had done, the water grew in quantity and flowed over the rim of the wineglass.

"For Gon, too, it's Reinforcement," Killua grinned, eager to find out what he was.

Next, it was Zushi's turn. "The leaf moves," Wing told them. "That's a sign for Manipulation."

"Finally, it's my turn," Killua anxiously came up to the wine glass. Everyone watched eagerly, but nothing happened. Killua looked up at Wing, questioningly.

"Taste it," he smiled at them. Killua stuck his finger in the water, and then in his mouth.

"It's..sweet..."

"The taste of the water has changed; it's a sign for Transformation."

"What about me?" Stasy pointed to herself. Now she was eager to see what hers looked like.

"Hmm...you're personality disorder might tamper with the results..." Wing began, but Stasy was already at the wine glass.

"First we'll see what I am and then-" Her voice was cut off as the glass exploded in her face.

"Stasy! Are you okay?!"

Wing ran to her and looked at her face, sopping wet with the water. He froze. She had a terrifying look on her face. Her eyes were wide and her eyebrows pushed aggressively together. But just as soon as Wing saw it, her the look disappeared and Stasy looked around at her wet clothes. "Aww, man...Sorry, Wing, did I jump the gun?"

"No, I don't think that's it," he grabbed a towel and handed it to her. "Maybe you're personalities are not as split as they seem."

"Huh?" Stasy looked curiously at him.

Wing shook his head. This girl would never understand. "No, nevermind. Everyone else, you now know what category fits you best. In the next four weeks, you'll work on these practices so that the results become much more obvious. Stasy...you need some serious meditation. You're brain is so messed up, it seems you won't be able to fully control your Nen until you become one person."

"One...person?"

"There's dischord in your soul, you could say," he picked up the pieces of glass. "Your Nen, your energy, reflects who you are. You are so split up that your Nen is as well. I'm afraid you won't be able to progress much further unless you revert back to one person. You were not a blank person when you didn't have the different personalities, were you? You didn't conjure up these personalities. They split off from your true self. You need to unite them again."

Wing left her to ponder on these things while the boys practiced. Killua couldn't help but steal glances to where the young girl sat on the floor next to the window, staring at her hands with a look of utter pugnacity.
