Killua defeats another opponent with one chop for a knockout win! Now there's action over in two other arenas. Gon has knocked out another opponent with a single push! Yuko, with a single punch! Each of them has won six consecutive matches over the past three days. And they've reached the hundreds without even a scratch to show for it!

Killua's chop!

Gon's push!

Yuko's punch!

They seem unstoppable. But can they keep it up? Who, if anyone can stop them?!

"Yay! Our own room!" Gon cheered excitingly, running and hopping onto the bed with wide smile. I grinned at his childish behavior, whilst taking a look at the room myself. I haven't been in many hotels, or rooms to begin with, but I had to say it wasn't too shabby. Killua was glancing around as well walking up to Gon who was sitting on the bed, as I took a look out the window. My eyes glimmered at the sight.

"Just imagine how pretty it must be at the top floor…" I muttered to myself, my eyes gliding over the various colors of the lights.

"Ne.." Gon started. I turned around with an expectant look. "there's only one bed." Gon said to me with a blank expression. I sighed, my face deadpanning.

"Not only that, but it's small…" I grumbled in annoyance, placing my hands on my hips. Killua closed his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest, most likely indicating he was about to say something irritating.

"No way in hell am I sleeping with a girl in the bed." He said stubbornly. Gon frowned, a sympathetic look taking over his features.

"But we can't make Yuko sleep on the floor, she's a lady."

I blinked a few times at Gon's choice of words, a single butterfly flapping around on my insides. I've never been associated with such a graceful word as "Lady". I mean what do you expect, I've lived in a dumpster most of my life, I wasn't exactly a bougie handbag. Although I did find one in Meteor City before, anyways my point is, it's nice to hear that once in a while.

I heard Killua snort and I shot him a stink eye that he refused to acknowledge.

"How can you call her a lady, at best she's a homosapien. I wouldn't even say that, maybe a gorilla, or bigfoot." He said with a teasing smirk. My glare deepened, a low growl leaving my throat as I swung a hand at his head. He swiftly dodged it however, keeping a satisfied look placed on his features, his arms still crossed. Another growl.

And then an idea made its way into my mind. A malicious smile creeping onto my face as I stuck my finger in my mouth, and then promptly stuck it in Killua's pale ear. As expected, he instantly flipped out, letting out a loud aggravated yelp as he incessantly rubbed his ear to erase any traces of my saliva. I stood there watching with a smirk, now my arms crossed over my chest. Killua jumped up from his chair and pointed an accusing finger at me while looking at Gon who was watching the scene with sweat dropping.

"We cannot allow this savage in our bed Gon!" He yelled, a reddened face out of anger and slight embarrassment. I chuckled a little bit, before taking a seat next to the frantic spiky haired friend.

"It's all right, I don't want to sleep in the bed anyways. It's way too cramped and I get the feeling there's gonna be a wet sock sleeping in there too, so I'll take my chances with the floor, I'm used to sleeping uncomfortable anyways." I said with a shrug. Killua ignored my teasing sentiment and took a seat in the chair with a slight humph, his arms once again crossed over his chest.

"Are you sure Yuko? If you want, we could trade places." Gon suggested.

Me and Killua both stood up, our faces red as tomatoes.

"No way in hell!" we both yelled.

Three of us were walking down the hallway after our previous matches that we had all won easily. It seemed we were just blasting through this floor, and I wouldn't be surprised if by next week, we would reach floor 200. So far, my feelings about fighting haven't changed much, but that wasn't to say these matches weren't fun. Not much has happened but my victory was basically guaranteed, and not gonna lie, my ego was probably boosting a little too much. But that's okay right? At least I'm actually having fun with this.

"I'm kind of jealous." Killua said, closing his eyes and shoving his hands deep into his pockets. I noticed he does this a lot when he feels uncomfortable. Gon and I both perked up to the statement, staring at the white-haired boy in between us with widen eyes.

"You…Killua Zoldyck…. jealous? Gon, you have any idea where our arrogant little assassin has gone to?" I asked, teasingly. Gon let out a few hearty laughs, while Killuas eyebrow twitched in anger.

"Never mind, forget I said anything." Killua grumbled looking away.

I blinked.

'Maybe I should stop teasing him, I don't want him to start treating my like trash again. Ugh, but it's so fun...' I internally whined.

"Ne ne, what were you gonna say." Gon pestered.

Killua grumbled and placed his hands on top his head before closing his eyes with slightly furrowed brows, showing an irritated look.

"It's just that, it took me two whole months to reach floor 150. You two on the other hand…"

I wanted to laugh at that. If I joined the Heavens arena at six, I probably wouldn't have gotten far at all, maybe would've even died. Of course, I wasn't going to admit this.

"Yea, but weren't you six?" Gon questioned.

"That is true…" Killua said, most likely feeling better at that reassurance. I rolled my eyes, a small smile gracing my features, as looked at the white-haired assassin.

'He's so full of himself...'

I guess I was staring at him too long because he shot me a confused look.

"What? Why are you always staring at me like a weirdo?"

I blinked in surprise, my heartbeat beginning to pick up at my brain lacking any sort of response. I almost forgot about these little allergic reactions I have around him. Yea I know I'm not actually allergic, but I have no other way of putting it into words, I mean it's confusing. The silence was beginning to last a little too long, Killuas annoyed expression Turning confused. My face going from speechless to embarrassed as I continued to open and close my mouth.

'Come on Yuko, come up with a response, why do you always stare at him? Shit why do I always stare at him?'

"You always give Yuko weird looks too Ne." Gon said with furrowed eyebrows. Killua snorted and then looked back forward with a small shrug.

"Yea, because she's weird."

I let out a relieved sigh.

'Thank god for you Gon.'

"Oh, I saw Zushi on Tv earlier." Gon said with a smile forming on his face.

"Yeah, so did I.", "Same here." Killua and I responded.

"I was a little surprised to see him still on the 50th floor, I feel kind of bad." I said with a sheepish smile.

"I bet the only reason he's on such a low floor is because his Master won't let him use his Ren thing, like Killua said earlier." Gon replied with a thoughtful expression. The three of us stopped walking, the topic of Ren seemed too important to be leisurely conversed.

"I'm really curious about Zushi's power, I mean if it creeped Killua out it has to be something powerful right?" I asked the two boys.

Gon nodded. "It's weird because when I look at him, he doesn't seem very strong. But if Ren is as powerful as Killua thinks then we should definitely learn more about it."

Killua lifted up a finger in suggestion. "Maybe we'll meet some opponents higher up who use it?"

Gon lifted up a suggestive finger of his own, a smile lifting up his lips. "Or maybe we should just ask Zushi?"

I watched Killua think it over with a funny expression, before grabbing onto Gon's finger with a lighthearted laugh. I grinned at the adorable interaction.

"You think Zushi will just give up the information?" I asked.

Gon shrugged. "I don't see why he wouldn't. And anyway' s we'll just have to see for ourselves." He stated optimistically. I could see Killua beginning to smirk at me with narrowed eyes.

"And if he doesn't, we'll just have Yuko confess her undying love for him. Sooner or later he'll have to spill his guts. Spouses shouldn't keep secrets from each other you know." He said twirling his finger around as if it was some common saying. I rolled my eyes, smiling at his playful attitude.

"Spouses? Aren't you getting a little too ahead of yourself Oldman?"

After the three of us met up with Zushi to ask him about Ren, we somehow ended up in Wing-san's hotel room, getting a well explained lesson about Nen that Killua practically had to beg for.

"Paying attention? Nen, or flame, is a power that fires our souls. In other words, it's the strength of you will. And the Four Exercises is a training regimen that strengthens your will." Wing-san explained whilst writing down Japanese characters on the white board behind him, that I'm sure where part of his lesson.

"Strengthens you will?" Gon questioned. Wing-san nodded a small smile on his features.

"Correct. Ten: focuses the mind on a single point, reflect on the self, and determine the goal. Zetsu: to put into words. Ren: is to intensify your will. Hatsu: is to release it into action."

"Ten. Zetsu. Ren. Hatsu. That's so much to remember." I stressed, running a hand through my brown locks.

So far this wasn't making any sense to me. It sounds like he's saying mere willpower is enough to give you strong enough powers to kill someone. Logically, that makes no sense! I mean, in my life there had to be times where I've had a lot of willpower for a specific scenario, not once did I feel any sort of energy exiting my pressure point canals.

"See, Zushi tempered his 'refusal to lose' during his battle with you Killua."

The three of us flinched in surprise, Killua seeming to go into deep thought.

"Now allow me to demo-"

"Wait, wait, wait." I interrupted. "You mean to tell me, if I just had enough willpower, I'd be able to defeat Killua?" I questioned with widen eyes.

Killua looked over to me with a look that said, "yea right", while Wing-san's smile seemed to deepen at the question, finding it amusing.

"With training. I'll give you a better understanding through demonstration. Killua?" Wing-san said, making Killua flinch in surprise suddenly being added to the conversation. "For this demonstration I would like to "Kill" you now. Is that all right?" Wing-san said casually, causing Gon and I to look at Killua with expectant looks, wondering if he'd accept the proposal.

Killua barely flinched. "Sure. Why not? You won't be able to though." He responded simply.

I smirked. 'that's so like him.'

"Let's do this in order. First, Ten" Wing-san went into a stance, his legs bent and parted and his arms crossing each other in front of him, hands in a fist. I blinked in surprise.

'It's weird to see such an ordinary looking dude try to do martial arts, or whatever this Nen thing is, I still hardily get it. Even harder to take him seriously with his shirt still untucked, this guy's a riot.'

"I focus my mind on a single point. Zetsu: express your desired intent. Either mentally or verbally…I will kill you." Wing-san said, calmly with his eyes shut. I could feel a tension start to build up in the room, a purple like glow, hazing over his body subtly making three small short gasps exit the three of our mouths. I could feel it, sense it. His pressure point canals where leaking out some energy, just like with Netero-san, Zebro-san, and Illumi.

Wing-san then opened his eyes calmly a small frown on his lips as he stared at Killua, before his calm stare turned into a glare, that completely changed the unsettling feeling I was getting into terrified feeling the immense pressure emitting off the middle-aged man. The craziest thing was, he wasn't even directing his killing intent towards me.

All three of us held expression of distraught and surprise, but Killua's was most prominent, his eyes dilated, sweat sliding down his face. He looked so scared.

A few seconds more, and Killua had disappeared from my side, putting himself in a protective area in the corner to the ceiling holding himself there, his look still unrelaxed.

Wing-san had stopped and got up from his stance with a small smile.

"That was a taste of Ren. With enough strength and focus, the will functions as action or Hatsu. With a strong will, your opponent will back down. A more familiar term would be 'bluffing'. Ren hardens that which is soft, and you suddenly find that you've lost your ability to correct an incorrect idea. Therefore, until your soul has fully matured, avoid using Ren. As it stands now, you four should really focus on training your souls."

Killua at this point had hopped down from the ceiling and was giving Wing-san a sharp glare, his eyes narrowed, obviously suspicious of the male. I couldn't blame him though; I could tell he wasn't giving us enough information. Killua turned his back and began walking towards the door his hands shoved in his pockets.

"Let's go Gon, Yuko."

"If you truly wish to learn about Nen," Wing-san began again, causing Killua to stop in his tracts. "Set your sights on mastering Ten first. If you master Ten, you no longer feel the pressure of an opponent's will."

Killua was already out the door after Wing-san had uttered his last word, leaving Gon and I behind. We quickly flowed after though Gon yelling out a "Thank you" Before we ran after the white-haired assassin.

"Killua wait up!" Gon yelled.

"So fast for an old man." I said with a small laugh as the two of us caught up to his retreating figure, his eyes shut, a frustrated look plastered on his face.

"You guys could tell right?" I asked, leaning my head forward to look to the two boys beside me, Killua kept his head forward while Gon gave me a questioning look.

"Could tell what?"

I lifted an eyebrow. "That Wing-san was lying of course."

Gon blinked in surprise, his eyes widened, and his mouth parted in a cute way. "No way! He was lying?"

"Yeah." Killua responded for me. "What he said was true, far as it went, and his power is the real deal too. There are a few things it doesn't cover."

"Yea like how the frick can willpower give you that much power!" I said extending my arms out in confusion.

"Yea that, but also like how tough Zushi is. In our fight, he got up every time I knocked him down. It was pretty annoying. Which is why I was getting a little pushy with him at the end. Yuko's right, it wasn't his strength of will alone that kept him standing the whole time. There's gotta be something else he's hiding."

"Looks like Zushi is the full package man. Sweet, strong, brunette. I'm swooning." I joked with a small laugh.

"Yuko, can I be a bridesmaid?" Gon questioned. I knew he was trying to add onto the joke, but I got the feeling he didn't know that bridesmaids are usually female, well not usually, always female.

"Bakaa, you can't be a bridesmaid if you're a boy." Killua said bonking Gon's head.

"He's right Gon, that's why I'm saving the bridesmaid position for Kil Kil." I said leaning forward into the white-haired boys face with fluttering eyelashes. He narrowed his eyes before lightly pushing me away. I chuckled, trying to catch my balance.

"Ne, I thought you just said you have to be a girl to be a bridesmaid…..ohhhhhh I get it!" Gon said with a wide smile. Killua and I both slapped our foreheads with our hands.

"That's our Gon."

It's time for the biggest matches of the day! Three rookies have advanced to the 190th floor without losing a single fight! Gon, Killua and Yuko! Will they be able to clear today's match in one shot, too? Okay everyone! Get ready to press your wager buttons!

Gon-

That's a critical hit and knockdown! That's three points! It's a knockout! And winner is Gon!

Yuko-

That's a critical hit and knockdown! That's three points! It's a knockout! And winner is Yuko!

Killua-

Critical hit and knockdown! That's three points! Killua wins!

Once again, Gon, Yuko and Killua have knocked out their opponents with one attack, meaning both of them have successfully cleared the 190th floor! Both competitors advance to the 200th floor!

"The 200th floor! So, what's it like?" Gon questioned, the three of us standing side by side going up in the elevator.

"Beats me. Never actually been there." Killua said with a shrug. Gon the turned to me with a wide smile.

"So, do you liking fighting a little more Yuko?"

I smiled back at him and then turned to look at the numbers that quickly going up. I shrugged a little bit.

"I don't know, it's kind of hard to tell when all I've been doing is punching my opponents once. But I think maybe the fact I'm excited is a good sign?" I said hesitantly. It was true, I was pretty excited.

"I think that's definitely a good sign!" Gon responded.

The elevator opened up to reveal a large spacious hallway, the carpets velvety red. The walls framed with black marble, and some occasional plants resting against the walls. I blinked in surprise, my mouth slightly parting at the beauty, of just a hallway.

"The 200th floor sure is fancy, huh?" Gon said, gripping his backpack straps.

"Let's go find reception. Maybe this way?" Killua suggested walking to the right, Gon and I quickly following behind like little ducklings. We continued to follow him until we came to a turn in the hallway. Not really expecting much, after all it was just a hallway, right? Wrong! At the very end of the hallway, the dark hallway was an ominous aura, that instantly froze the three of us in our tracks.

Fear was running through my veins, as I felt the urge to back away, slowly getting drenched in my own sweat.

"W-What the h-hell is that…" I croaked out.

"Let's go." Killua said before taking a few steps forward his face scared but determined. "We can do this!"

'I can't, I can't do this. This isn't safe.' I thought while the two boys were carefully taking a few steps into the hallway. I didn't want to be left behind, I didn't want to look like a pansy, but I also didn't want to die. The hallways seemed to only be giving out the message of death.

"G-Gon..." I stuttered out, reaching a hand to him. He turned around to face me and without out a second thought he grabbed my hand, pulling me along to his side as we caught about to the white-haired assassin.

"Just stay near me, you'll be okay Yuko…" He whispered looking forward, sweat sliding down the side of his face. I gulped down some spit and then nodded taking shaky steps.

Suddenly the Aura extended towards them making her grip onto Gon's sleeve with her other hand, her teeth clenching feeling a chill run down her back. We all stopped walking. They probably started to realize that maybe going forward was a bad idea.

"You guys feel that bloodlust? It's directed right at us!" Gon exclaimed. All of our faces held painful expressions.

"Please guys, I don't like this." I begged. Killua looked at me and then looked forward with a glare.

"Alright that's enough! Who's there?!" Killua demanded. "Show yourself!"

Suddenly it all stopped.

Catching all of us off guard as a young woman who worked here, walked out Infront of them with a tired expression.

"You three must be Killua, Gon and Yuko. The reception desk is this way, so please register for a 200th match today. Be advised that your eligibility for this floor expires at midnight, so please don't delay." She stated seeming quite dazed.

"Was that from her?" Gon questioned.

"No way…" I said breathlessly.

"By the way, on the 200th floor, there are currently 173 contestants. And from this floor up, all weapons are allowed in all matches. So, please feel free to use whatever you have. Also, as of the 200th floor, you will no longer receive prize money. Now you will be fighting only for honor. Please keep that in mind, if you participate."

Beside her a card came into view and fell onto the floor in front of the three of us. All three of us instantly knew who it was.

And then our suspicions where confirmed, seeing the jester standing behind the young lady with his hands resting on his hips. The lady jumped in surprise and quickly scurried away, fearing his presence like she should.

My spit got caught in my throat as he slowly turned around to send us a bone quivering smirk. I could tell the two boys on either side of me were extremely uncomfortable.

"Hi-Hisoka." Killua croaked out.
