Hello everybody, so I've decided to write the next chapter because I'll be busy for quite a while. Sorry :[ But please remember to leave a review for this chapter. It always motivates me to write more and think of new plots and chapters no matter how busy I am ;p

So here it goes...

"So remember to take one tablet of each painkiller after every meal and whenever you're feeling any kind of physical pain." Pax ordered while prescribing the medicine needed.

Emi was half focused on what he was saying. She was looking out the hospital window and watching people rebuilding their destroyed village and helping with all sorts of tasks, trying to spot Killua in that crowded place. She hasn't seen him for over two days... I wonder if he's still mad at me for causing him so much trouble...

"Did you hear what I just told you, Emi?" Pax asked after finishing what he was writing.

"Uh... Yeah." She tried to seem focused.

"What are the foods you must eat everyday?" Pax asked to make sure that she was paying attention.

"Whole grains, tea, yogurt, fruits, vegetables and..." She tried to remember the last one.

"Oatmeal." Pax reminded her.

"Right." She said.

"They can help your fatigue. If you stick to what I've told you, then you'll be fine." He managed to pull off a smile.

"But I won't regain my powers again, will I?" She said with a low spirit.

"I'm not going to lie to you and say that you will." Pax was a straight-forward person and was very logical and honest. "I'm not an expert, but in your case it's considered a miracle that you're still alive."

Emi nodded, accepting her inevitable condition.

"If I were you, I would just be thankful for that." He said and headed for the door. "I'll send one of the nurses later to bring you your medicine."

She just nodded and smiled at him before he left and then went back to staring out the window from her bed.

"Hi Emi," Gon said as he entered the room.

"Oh, hi Gon." Emi greeted him.

"So guess what? We just finished building the last school today!" He was happy about getting to do that.

"Really? That's great. You did that in a short amount of time." She smiled at him, proud of what a great help he's been to this village.

"I know! It was so much fun too!" He was excited, but in a matter of seconds his smile slowly turned to a serious look. He was still worried about his best friend Killua. He wasn't enjoying himself like he use to at all.

"Is Killua still mad at me?" Emi asked Gon.

"Mad at you?" Gon looked at her confused. "Why would he be mad?"

"I don't know..." Emi looked out the window again. "Maybe he thought I was too troublesome and useless."

"You are not useless!" He exclaimed.

She scoffed. "And what do you call a person who sits around all day powerless to even take the stairs by herself?"

Gon was shocked to finally realize how low Emi thought of herself at that moment.

"Killua probably thinks I'm annoying too..." She looked out the window once more, feeling her eyes being filled with tears.

"That's not true at all!" Killua is miserable and depressed right now because he can't stand seeing you like this! I wish I could just tell you that!

"I just can't think of any other reason." Emi took her eyes off the window and wiped the tear that was about to fall. "I'm sorry, Gon. I shouldn't have burdened you with my problems." She smiled.

"No, Emi. You shouldn't let all of that inside you." Gon was very sympathetic. "So what did Pax-san tell you about your Nen? How can you get it back?" Gon tried to cheer her up by reminding her that there was still hope for her to get her Nen back.

She looked down. "I'm never getting it back..."

Gon felt even worse after failing his attempt to cheer her up. I just made her even more sad... He thought. "That's okay too. You don't need Nen, Emi. I will always be there for you."

"It was all I ever wanted ever since I can remember..." Emi told him. "But now everything is gone and I have no one to blame but myself."

Gon listened to how devastated Emi sounded.

"But I don't regret any of it... Not even one bit." Emi smiled to herself.

Gon also smiled. "Do you really want to know what's bothering Killua?" He asked.

"Did he tell you anything?" She waited for an answer.

"Yeah, he did." Gon answered. "And it's not because he thinks you're annoying. It's because he's worried about you."

She shook her head slightly, not believing that fact to be true.

"Um... Mr. Gon Freecss." A nurse knocked on the door, reading Gon's name off of a piece of paper.

"Yes?" Gon looked at the nurse.

Somehow, her voice sounds familiar... Emi thought to herself.

"I have a message from Shia for you. It said that they need you right away." She finally looked up from the piece of paper and recognized Emi.

"Well, I better go." Gon stood up from his chair. "I'll see you later, Emi." He gave her one quick smile before he left the room.

"Emi, why are you here in the hospital?" The woman expressed her concern.

"I-Um... I just had a little accident." She still couldn't remember where she had heard that voice before. She couldn't see so clearly anymore because of what happened so she couldn't recognize her face.

"I'm Eden." She took three steps inside Emi's room. "You saved me and my daughter in Nicodemus' castle."

Emi immediately recognized her. "Oh, yeah. I remember you." She smiled at her.

"Are you okay? What happened to you?" Eden asked Emi, obviously concerned.

"It's a long story, but I'm fine now." Emi said. "Um... Do you work here? 'cause I've never seen you before."

"Yes, actually. I work at the children's ward, though." She smiled warmly.

"That's great. How is your daughter doing?" Emi asked.

"She's good." She answered. "I was about to go see her, actually. Would you like to come with me?" Eden offered.

"I'm not really supposed to leave my room." Emi reminded herself.

"I just want to talk to you. You seem bored here." Eden laughed softly.

Emi slightly smiled. "I wish they could understand that."

"Can I tell you something, Emi?" Eden asked in a serious tone.

"Sure. Please, sit down." Emi told her.

"I just really admire your strength." She said, sitting down on a chair.

"There's not much to admire now." Emi said, forcing a smile.

"Whatever your case may be. Strength isn't just a physical thing." Eden told Emi. "I don't admire your physical strength. I admire your strong personality."

Emi was surprised. "Thank you..."

"You're welcome." She smiled. "I couldn't help but notice that your boyfriend seemed mad at something..." She said.

"My boyfriend?" Emi seemed confused.

"The one who saved you that night. His name is Killua, isn't it?" She asked.

"Oh, no, no. He's not my boyfriend." Emi clarified.

"Really? I thought you two were together." Eden seemed confused herself.

"First it was Arata and now you. What makes you say think that he's my boyfriend?" Emi asked.

"I guess you just fit together." She smiled once more.

"We barely get along." Emi told Eden.

"Oh, that's too bad." She looked down, but soon regained her smile. "Poor thing..."

Emi looked at her, waiting for her to explain what she meant.

"He seems so upset and worried about you." She told Emi. "I see him everyday..."

"I don't think that that's the reason he's mad." Emi looked down.

Eden smiled to herself. "He's a very caring person."

Emi looked up.

"I'm talking about Killua." She smiled and looked at Emi.

Emi simply nodded, slightly smiling in complete agreement with that sentence and looked down again.

"I can see that very clearly now." She kept smiling at Emi.

"He's been through a lot in life." Emi thought about him from another perspective. I can't even imagine what his childhood must have been like...

"Yeah, you could see all of that in his eyes." Eden told Emi.

"How can you know so much about him when you haven't even talked to him once?" Emi asked Eden.

"It doesn't take so long for me to figure people out. You can call it a gift if you want." Eden laughed, then went back to just smiling. "But he's different with you..."

Emi seemed clueless and surprised.

"He's in love with you." Eden told her.

Emi slightly giggled. "That's really funny."

"I'm not kidding, Emi." Eden shook her head.

"You can't be serious." Emi was still smiling because of that thought, but her smile soon faded when she saw that Eden was being serious. "Are you?"

Eden smiled to herself. "I've seen the way he looks at you. It never changes."

"I'm sorry... I just can't believe you." Emi said. "I can't let that thought in."

Eden smiled. "It's okay, dear." She stood up. "It's been nice talking to you. I guess I'll see you around." She headed for the door.

"It's been nice talking to you too." Emi told her before she left.

"I hope things get better between you and him." Eden said, smiling.

"Uh... Thank you." Emi told her.

Eden nodded and left.

Killua sat there at a bench that was near by after a long day of working and distracting himself. I wonder how she's doing... He shook that thought off again sighed.

"Killua, hey." Gon said and sat on the bench next to his best friend.

"Oh, hey Gon." Killua greeted him.

"So I have something to tell you." Gon told him.

"Is it about Emi?" Killua asked, certain that it is.

"Uh... Yeah." Gon said.

"Did she fully recover?" Killua asked, doubting the likelihood of that happening.

"No." Gon answered.

"Then I don't want to know." Killua got up again.

"Aren't you going to see her?" Gon asked again.

"No. Why should I?" He put his hands in his pockets and started walking.

"Because she thinks you hate her now."

"I wish I could hate her. That would make things so much easier." Killua kept walking.

Gon just sighed. He hated the fact that both of his friends are miserable.

"Hey, Gon." Killua got Gon's attention. "Do you sense an aura coming from the hospital's entrance?"

Gon closed his eyes and concentrated on it. "Yeah. It's not very strong."

Killua looked worried. There are so many people there. Even by using Nen you can't catch the person with that aura...

"Let's go." Gon said and they both started running towards the hospital while still using Gyo.

Killua called Pax right away.

"Hello?"

"Pax, there is someone trying to get into the building."

"What? Who?"

"Just don't let anybody in until we find out." And with that he ended the call.

As they were getting closer to the hospital, they began to see who everyone's aura.

"There she is! It's that nurse pushing that medicine cart!" Gon pointed out. "They're about to let her in!"

They ran in full speed to get to the entrance, but it was too late. They lost her inside.

"Damn it..." Killua looked around the busy hospital lobby. "We can't even run in this crowded place."

"I'll check the elevators, Killua. You should check the stairs."

"Okay." He tried to run past the many people who were there and get to the stairs.

"Miss Emi Soad." The nurse knocked on Emi's door.

"Yes?" Emi answered.

"It's time for your medicine." She went inside the room with her medicine cart.

Oooooooooooh... What do you think will happen next? Review to find out! Thank you soooo much to everyone! Love you! This is the longest chapter I've ever written!

Thank you again,
