I must once again apologise for last week, and I hope you appreciate the little extra I put at the bottom! ^^ Hehe, I thank all my reviewers for being so supportive! You're all so nice, I was really touched. I love you all! (and favouriters, story-alerters, I thank you too.)

My sister, for beta-ing (you're annoying sometimes, but I love you anyway) and RGNN (Why aren't you writing?) for constant encouragement!

And I know you don't appreciate a long ramble, so here is the chappie!

I yawned.

We were in the elevator, and we had been jumping from level to level. Seriously. We got to one-hundred and ten in what felt like no time at all, then there was another easy match, and then we jumped to one-hundred and thirty, and straight after every jump we get the money tickets (I'm rich! Not that I wasn't already, with help from both Jeb's wallet and the bank account that the royal treasurer of Avril assured me was being kept for my personal expenses – not that I liked using that money, being from the Avril taxes and all – but now it really feels like I am actually rich. But, of course, I put all the cheques in a secret compartment in my back-pack. Then Killua can't steal them to buy chocolate) and go up to the next level. Where we go into another match. Where we jump to yet another higher level.

I patted my staff, which was humming happily, and listened to the other's conversation.

'I wonder what'll happen on the 200th floor?' Gon asked as we went up.

'I don't know either, I've never been there.' Killua replied, with his hands in his pockets. The elevator dinged as I stifled another yawn. Gon gently pulled on my sleeve and tugged me out of the elevator.

'After we get our own rooms, we can sleep, Wind.' I nodded sleepily.

'Mmm... yeah.'

And then we stood in the hallway of the two-hundredth floor. I tried to pry my eyes open a little more. Because hey, it was the part where they figure out nen. It was a life-turning point for them!

Too bad I was tireder than the sleepiest sloth in the world.

We passed random people on the way to the check-in place. The place looked anime, since it looked much newer than in the manga. More up-to-date I guess, but still dim and green. The green made me feel kind of sick.

Gon continued tugging me around people that I would've crashed into otherwise until there was suddenly pressure. A kind of buzzy feeling, like the feeling you get when you turn the bass up really loud and feel it pounding deep within your own body. But more evil, and the more we moved closer to the hallway, the more the pressure built.

'Come on, let's go,' Killua said to both of us, and Gon and I nodded, with me still feeling kind of sleepy.

We started walking forward until a sudden wave of the evil buzzy pressure pushed against us. I actually skidded, because I wasn't braced for it.

Which was stupid of me, because I knew what was going to happen.

I woke up then.

Killua and Gon looked worriedly at me.

'You ok Wind?'

'Yup. Absolutely fine.' I smiled at them. 'Though now I'm awake.' I added a bit ruefully. Then smiled again, tightly, and faced the front again. Now that my eyes were fully open, I could see waves in the air. Like in those really hot summer days on the concrete. Killua narrowed his eyes.

'It's blood-thirst. Someone is directing their murdering energy at us.' Killua said tersely.

He suddenly yelled. 'Who's there? Show yourself!'

His voice echoed, footsteps clicked down the hallway, and a really tired looking woman came around the corner and started introducing the level.

Blah blah blah... Not interested...

I was unpleasantly surprised when I was reminded of the fact we wouldn't be getting money from now on. Why would you fight just to feel personal satisfaction?

'Do you think she's the one giving out the energy?' Gon hissed to Killua. Killua's response was lost on me, when my feet skidded back a bit. The energy was getting more and more heavy. I planted my staff on the ground and grabbed a firm hold of it so I wouldn't skid back anymore.

I gritted my teeth when the nen started pulsing. One second it ebbed back, like a wave drawing away from the shore, and then it came back even heavier. I looked up just in time to see the timely appearance of one of the coolest (and also freakiest) characters in the series.

Hisoka emerged, calmly smoothing his (now orange) hair down and did his trademark smirk.

'Hisoka! Why are you here?' Gon burst out. Hisoka smirked deeper.

'I love fights, and this is the capital of fights. Why wouldn't I come here?'

My inner chibi mushroom sighed, and I planted my feet a bit more solid than before. It was amazing, if you think about it, how much nen Hisoka was expending. And after sending waves and waves of malicious nen out, he was still fine afterwards.

Gon and Hisoka started talking, and I observed Hisoka.

Looking at him in real life, you couldn't but think he was a human that trained so much he was almost inhumane.

Or maybe he is a monster.

Hisoka flapped a hand, and a huge tsunami of nen came hurtling down the corridor. My staff held (isn't it amazing? I love my staff so much) and I only got pulled back, but Gon and Killua skidded a bit and fell to one knee.

I groaned. Thinking about the level 200 beds and the huge rooms with chandeliers wanted me to just check-in and flop onto the soft nice comfy bed. But no, Hisoka just has to send tsunamis of nen at us, a group of kids where he regards some members, a bit on the paedophilia side, as unripe fruit.

Gon and Killua tried to go forward again until a calm voice rang through the haze made of nen.

'Stop insisting.' The two stopped, and I looked around my shoulder, hand still grasping my trusty staff really really tightly. And Wing stood there in all of his dishevelled glory, black hair messy and light blue shirt half-tucked, staring calmly through the nen waves at us, looking to the world like there wasn't an ocean of nen shoving him back.

'Against his nen, you're nothing. You're like a person standing in an ice flow asking why it's so cold. If you endure this any longer then you will, eventually, die.' Killua literally exploded.

'What? So are you going to go on about how he's thinking "you won't pass" and that this is the result?' Wing put on a poker-face.

'Well I admit I was lying.' Killua grumbled about how "he didn't doubt it", with Gon trying to calm him down. They were so concentrated on Wing that they didn't realise that Hisoka's nen flow had stopped. I turned around, pulling my staff from the ground. I winced at the hole.

I hope no one trips on it...

'I'm going to explain the real nen to you. But let's get away from here first.' I walked silently to a silent Killua and Gon, who were staring at Wing. He simply turned around and headed down the hallway a bit. Then he stopped, looking back at us, noticing we weren't following him. Gon looked curiously at the purple dressed lady.

'If we don't sign up before midnight, what'll happen?' I silently stole after Wing. Killua's eyes flickered, and I shrugged, trying to communicate that I was tired, and wanted this over and done with. He nodded and turned his attention to the lady's answer.

'If Contestant Gon didn't sign in before midnight, he would need to start again from level one, but if Contestant Killua...'

I waited at the end of the corridor, around the corner so that I wouldn't get any random nen blasts that Hisoka might send if he was bored or something. Wing was there too, waiting for the other two. I bowed.

'Nice to meet you again, Wing-san.'

'Ah, no need to be so formal Wind.' I stopped bowing and pointed at his shirt. This was one of the things I've always wanted to do if I ever met him.

'Wing-san, your shirt.' He looked down and shoved his shirt quickly into his pants.

'Thank you, Wind.'

'No problem.' Gon and Killua turned on their heel and walked towards the two of us.

'Let's go then.' Wing said.

All three of us followed him, with us shooting looks at each other trying to communicate without talking. After all, the atmosphere just wasn't the type for talking normally.

'Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!' The roses penetrated the vase. It was fascinating to watch in real life.

I was reminded once again about the world I was in. Anything was possible in this world. Even slamming a revolving door. Just put a wall of nen, and bang! You can slam the door.

'This is nen.' Wing looked at us and smiled kindly. 'Nen is the free manipulation of our body's vital energy. It's also known as "aura".'

'Nen...' We all echoed.

Then Wing went into major lecture session mode. About the zetsu first, then ren. Afterwards though, he started doing little demonstrations, and continued explaining.

When he first applied a little nen, it was like a gentle hand pushing on my shoulder. It wasn't heavy like Hisoka's, and it felt kind of warm and nice. Then Wing's eyes darkened.

'If someone with a bad spirit attacks an unprotected person, a person can kill with only his aura. There is only one way to defend against "nen".'

He looked at all three of us, and l suddenly sobered down without knowing why.

'Using "nen" ourselves and protect ourselves with "ten". Otherwise...' He suddenly walked to a wall.

I was anticipating it, but kind of scared. A person could shatter a huge crater in a stone wall with only his life energy. Then what could a person like Hisoka do if he continued building on his powers?

I gulped as Wing put his hand up and touched the wall. Coming into this world proved that the manga and anime didn't show everything about the story, the characters. And anything could happen now that I had joined the story.

There was a sudden burst of pressure, and although it wasn't directed at us three, all of us suddenly started sweating. But it came as fast it went, and we were suddenly looking at a crater in the wall. Wing looked coolly at us.

'...the body is split into shreds.'

There was silence, and a bird cawed outside the window.

...

Well, at least it broke the atmosphere.

'This is nen. The secret force that exists inside everyone. Actually, there are very little people who can master this, or even control it a little.'

He paused and looked out the window. It was already dark.

'And the ones that can, we call them "genius", "superman", "gifted" and such. And there are two ways that we can wake the nen inside you.' He put two fingers up.

'One way is to...' I stifled a yawn. It was nine already, and I was becoming tired again.

I raised a hand.

'Can you explain it to me again later? I need–' Cue yawn '–rest...' Wing nodded at me.

'To open the tenketsu I need to send my nen into your bodies.' Gon and Killua's eyes widened. I nodded sleepily. 'And I only have two hands. After opening theirs and telling them how to control it I'll wake you up.'

I grinned, raised a hand, collapsed against the wall and broke into snores.

Gon and Killua sweat-dropped.

'Hey Wind, wake up already!' Killua shook my shoulder. I looked up blearily.

'Urgh...eh?'

'Your turn!' Gon smiled brightly. I staggered to my feet, my staff helping me. I blinked a few times and walked normally towards Wing.

'Umm... then shall we start whatever you're supposed to do Wing-sensei?'

'Turn you back to me please. And let go of your staff.' I put my staff on the floor and looked at Wing expectantly. 'Your back please.'

I turned around, and he put a hand which seemed to be gently pushing me forward. Then it suddenly stopped. I raised an eyebrow and looked over my shoulder.

'Huh?'

'That's interesting...' Suddenly, the buzzing feeling went to the general area of his eyes. 'Very interesting indeed... Wind.' I turned and looked at him, puzzled.

'What?'

'Did you know that your tenketsu is already half opened?' I gaped at him. Huh? 'And that your hood has slight nen on it? Only around the face though.' I pulled on the hood (which was still on my heard) and looked at it.

Really? I've been wearing nen accessories all this time?

'Oh, your staff is packed full of nen. That's a very powerful artefact you've got there.' I stared at the staff.

'Really?' I voiced out. Wing frowned.

'You didn't know? Anyway, please take down your hood.' I did so, and he didn't seem perturbed that I was a girl.

'Hmm... I thought so. Now, please demonstrate any powers that you have.' I nodded and waved my hand around.

There was suddenly a breeze. Wing lifted an eyebrow.

'That's really impressive.' And from his tone of voice, it seemed like he thought that was the extent of my elemental control thingy.

'Err... I still have more.' I clicked my fingers (well tried to. I can't actually make the clicking noise, but I did the action nonetheless). A fire sprung up. There was a water jug in the corner, and I lifted the water out to make shapes. And the last was earth.

But I was so weak with earth; I could only make the earth into a little mound. And straight after I let go with my powers, it collapsed.

Wing's eyes were wide by then.

'That's really impressive, especially from your age. You come from a family or something...?' I nodded.

'I come from a country where everyone controls at least one element.'

'Aah, that explains it.' He nodded contemplatively. 'You should let your tenketsu open up the first way. It is safer, and I don't think you can stand it as well as them two.' He nodded towards Gon and Killua. I nodded. Then he clapped his hands.

'All three of you, concentrate your nen! Try and make a strong barrier. I will throw my nen at you, and you must at least be able to stand against that!' We nodded.

'Hai, sensei!' Then I paused.

'Err... Wing-sensei?'

'Yes Wind?'

'How do you control your nen?'

We walked through Hisoka's nen with no problem. After his really cool (but creepy) speech, he left us, and we went to the sign up desk. I signed up, and waved a goodbye to the others after getting my key.

'Tired...bed...sleep...tomorrow...' Killua and Gon simultaneously sweat-dropped as I kind of stumbled through the corridors like a drunken old geezer, trying to match my key number to the door.

I found my room at last, and I opened it, locked the door and stared at the huge suite. Then I went straight into the bedroom to the already aired pillows and blankets and fell straight asleep.

This was a hell of a tiring day, I thought as I went to sleep.

Wing looked contemplatively out the window. Gon and Killua's talent with nen was terrifying. He had only needed to explain it once and they already knew what to do.

And that girl...

The girl's talent wasn't bad, but it wasn't outstanding like Gon and Killua's. Only... Wing frowned. It was a bit strange. He had never seen such a strange nen before. It was like five different types of nen all battling for power in the girl's body.

He sat in a chair, still looking out the window. Should he have taught these three children? Was it really the right thing to do, awakening the nen of these three?

Wing sighed, and massaged his temples.

Why was he worrying so much? What was done, was done.

In the courtrooms, High universe, with Jeb

The judge's blue cloak fluttered as he banged the gavel.

'However! All these deeds were done because it was your job and duty as a star to fulfil the wishes of the wisher! The judge looked past his really long, fiery looking eyebrows

'So, middle-universe resident, high secretariat Jeb, you will be pardoned if all things are put to right again after all the conditions of your wisher's wishes are fulfilled. That entails putting them back to their residential world. Do not let the incident from 400 years ago happen again!'

Jeb nodded.

'Of course.'

'High-secretariat Jeb is dismissed! Court is CLOSED!' The judge banged his gavel a few times and the guards relievedly let go of Jeb.

'Whew! Jebby!' The whacked him on the shoulder. 'That was a close call wasn't it?' Jeb scowled.

'Don't call me Jebby.'

'Aaw Jebby, don't be like that.' Jeb shrugged and smiled.

One of the guards punched Jeb's arm. 'Hey, what are you going to do now after all that official stuff's finished?'

'My girlfriend's waiting for me, I need to check up on my charge now. And I want to finish that chess game with my charge.' The guards looked at him with wide eyes.

'You have a girlfriend?' they asked in hushed voices. Jeb started walking towards the door, and the guards (who have already been friends with Jeb for a long time) followed him.

'Yeah. We've been dating for a couple thousand years or so.'

'Who are you and where's our usual anti-social Jebby?' They asked, pointing at him melodramatically. Jeb shrugged, hopped onto a transporter and pushed it onto the speed fastest possible.

'Bye!' The guards started running forward.

'Hey! We haven't gotten all the juicy facts yet!'

'Who wants to give them to you?' Jeb said as he zoomed away. The guards grinned.

'You, of course!' They yelled. Jeb only heard it really softly though, and two seconds later, they weren't even specks.

Jeb leaned back. Rosemary would've wanted a souvenir... And playing chess with Wind was fun. It was nice to go back to middle-universe again. Those stuck up people on high horses putting on airs in the high universe were just too posh for him.

A few minutes later, he was asleep.

The extra! As an apology see... (I think you've all got that by now, but I thought I should repeat it.^^)

On Earth, Tama. On the Sunday where Wind left, and Tama had a game

The sun was high in the air when the soccer-ball flew into the net. Tama's team cheered. Now it was 1-1.

It was about mid-afternoon, and the soccer field was brimming with children playing soccer, with their parents cheering from the side.

'Go Tama!'

'Sic them one!'

'How can you say that to your son?' Tama's mom said, and whacked his dad on the head. His dad scratched his head sheepishly.

'Eh...' Tama laughed and waved, then drank from his water-bottle. Then he ran back to his position on the field.

The referee blew the whistle, and all of them started running, the opponent having the ball. Then Kerl stole the ball and ran down the field to the opponent's goal. The opposite team started rounding on him.

'Here! Kerl!' Tama yelled. The ball shot through the opening, and Tama continued running down the field with the ball in his possession. But then he got blocked. His eyes darted around as he tried to find an opening.

'Tama!' He heard Benny shout and he shot it towards his voice. Soon, the person who had blocked Tama was running towards Benny, and he was relieved to see that he had received it.

Benny ran down the field and shot it at the goal. It went in. Another cheer broke out from Tama's team. The opposing team, not surprisingly, frowned.

'Two minutes until the end of the game!' They went on playing, though till the end, the other team wasn't able to get a shot.

After the game, everyone shook hands, murmuring nice game, and the such.

Though, Tama reflected, it really was an exciting game.

'Tama!' His mom came rushing over with his bottle of water and a towel. 'Nice game!' He grinned up at her.

'Yup!' His dad ruffled his hair.

'Heh, that's my boy.' Tama grinned up at him too. They ushered him to the ice-cream shop down the road with his team-mates.

'What flavour do you want Tama?' Tama looked at the menu and saw that they had a new flavour.

'Pineapple! I want pineapple ice-cream!' They grinned.

'Pineapple it is!' They went and brought his ice-cream while he happily chatted to his team-mates. Their coach stood up to tell them what went wrong in the game, and how they could've fixed it, the parents came back with the ice-creams, and later, Tama, Benny, and their goalie, Luke played tic-tac-toe on the paper napkin.

It was late afternoon-ish when they left the shop, all yelling good-byes with great big smiles on their faces.

'Mom, Dad, I want to go to the hospital to visit on somebody.' They looked down at him.

'Who?' Tama was shocked. They still didn't remember Wind? His older sister?

'Umm... A girl I know...' They smiled.

'Aaah, a girl now, hey?'

'Sure honey, the hospital's just down the road. We'll walk together.'

And they walked down the road, the mom and dad chatting about what adults talk about (the fun stuff, not business) with Tama in between.

Wind looked out the window. Shouldn't Tama be here by now? She inwardly sighed and resigned herself.

The sun was too warm...

The three of them went in, and they went to the foyer together. A doctor was leaning at the receptions desk, talking to the receptionist. Tama's mom narrowed her eyes and gasped.

'Jane?' The doctor turned around and saw who called out her name.

'Sarah? Ah, long time no see!' They walked over and hugged each other. Tama's dad smiled too.

'We lost contact years ago! You work here?' What Tama presumed as Jane nodded her head.

'Yeah. You?'

'Ah, I'm an accountant. Did you know that we live just down the road?'

'Really? And oh, is this your son?' She bent down to Tama, who was still in his soccer uniform. 'He's so cute!' Tama scowled. He wasn't cute dammit!

'Tama, say hi to Jane! She was my high-school friend!'

'Hi auntie Jane.' She laughed and stood up.

'Haha! Auntie sounds so old! Hey, want to catch up to each other? I'm having my coffee break right now, and it lasts for another twenty minutes.'

'Ok! Tama wanted to visit somebody anyway.' Tama nodded and ran off to the elevator. His dad sighed and called out to him.

'Come back down twenty minutes later, ok?'

'Ok!'

Tama waited in front of the elevator as the elevator went down, and down and down...

Wind felt that familiar feeling again. That weird melting feeling when her consciousness travelled between the worlds.

Was she going back to the hunter world again? She smiled and waited.

The elevator dinged and he went in, pushing the floor where he wanted to go.

Tama waited patiently, though he was feeling kind of sad. How long did he have to wait until he could really talk to his sister again? He had so many questions, and he wanted to let mom and dad remember her.

Though something told him it wasn't a good idea. The elevator arrived, and he stepped out and noticed his one of his shoe's shoelaces were loose. He went to the side of the corridor and tied them. Then he stood up and started walking.

Wind closed her eyes and she felt Avril more and more. She was going back to the Hunter world again!

Though, she reflected, it was a shame that she didn't get to meet Tama. She had really wanted to see him.

Her consciousness left Earth.

Tama paused at the door, but opened it, smiling a bright smile. Wind could be awake right? So he must look happy.

'Wind-nee chan! Did you know? My team won our game, and...'

The whole room was still, except for the curtains which were ever fluttering in the breeze and the screens of the machines.

Tama's face fell, but then forced his face to smile again as he gently closed the door and sat onto the stool next to the bed. 'It was really exciting you know! Our next match is with this really really strong team and...'

Tama kept talking. Because they said talking to her might wake her up faster. So he kept talking and talking and talking. Just talking, as he couldn't do anything else to help his sister who was in a coma. Just talking and waiting.

Waiting, always waiting. So he talked, hoping that the doctors were right. Maybe she would wake up faster if he talked, and he could really tell her how he had been doing... And say thank you for those chocolates, and do the stuff that he'd always wanted to do if he had a sibling...

Yosh! The chapter is UP! ^^ Thank you, and I really wish all my readers the best! And thanking my reviewers again! You are all so nice and lovely that last chapter, I was so touched!
