Chapter 2 - A New Companion?
Gon ran as fast as he could to the next village with the girl, her bag and her backpack as fast as he could.
After three minutes he saw one.
He looked around and went up to a couple of people in a market, when they noticed the boy they looked at him questioningly, but then widened their eyes when they saw the injured girl.
"Please, we need a doctor! She is seriously injured!"
One of the crowd walked up to Gon. "Come with me boy. I know a good doctor. "
The green-clad boy nodded and followed him into a house on the outskirts of town.
While the doctor tended the girl's wound, Gon waited in a room next door. He was able to catch a glimpse of the girl's appearance beforehand.
She was about his age.
She had shoulder-length blue hair and her skin was actually quite pale. She wore a purple hooded jacket with turquoise sleeves. She also wore black sweatpants. Her shoes were red-orange and looked sporty. There was also a shimmering silver amulet around her neck.
Gon sat for a while before the doctor came up to him.
"How is she?" Gon asked worriedly.
"She survived the worst. She will surely wake up soon. "He smiled slightly. "Say ... how did that actually happen?"
Gon shrugged. "I'm sorry, I don't know. I think two thieves hurt her so ... "
"I see ... Anyway. You did the right thing. Do you want to stay until she wakes up? "
The boy smiled. "Yes! Yes, please!"
~ 2 hours later ... ~
Gon leaned against a wall in the room across from the bed where the blue-haired girl was lying, his eyes closed.
Even if he didn't know her, he was very worried about her ... besides, he now has all the time in the world, nothing drives him ... to leave the place now.
Suddenly he heard a little noise that was still unknown to him. He straightened up and looked at the bed. The girl moved slowly.
Gon got up quickly and ran to her. "You're awake! Everything okay?"
Her eyes opened slowly. Green eyes met Gon's brown eyes.
Her look indicated that she was slightly afraid. "W-who are ... you?" She looked around. "Where am I?"
Gon realized her fear and smiled slightly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." He quickly took a chair and sat down. "I'm Gon. Gon Freecss. You were injured by thieves, so I took you to a doctor in a village. … You were pretty hurt. "He then looked at her questioningly. "How are you now?"
She thought for a moment and touched her stomach to feel the bandage on it. "… I seem to be getting better now. I don't know how long I slept… "She turned to Gon and looked straight in the eyes. "You saved my life… .thank you, thank you very much! I owe you something ... "She smiled sadly.
"No, that was a matter of course! You do not owe me anything! Honestly! "Gon smiled. "I'm glad you're okay."
The girl blushed slightly. 'Still… she looked at Gon again. 'Maybe ... is it fate ...? ... that you helped me ... ... maybe ... should I follow you for a while ...? She thought about it.
Something just occurred to the boy. "Say what's your name? Please tell me your name! "
"My name?" She smiled slightly. "My name is Kaori." She bows slightly. "I'm very happy to meet you, Gon-san."
"Gon is enough!"
"Really? But that doesn't seem very polite to me ... after all, you ... saved my life ... "She was extremely surprised.
"Sure, of course! We're friends now! "He smiled brightly.
"Sure, of course! We're friends now! "He smiled brightly.
'Friends? She thought for a moment, then nodded until she casts a questioning look at Gon. "Say, Gon…. Are…. Are you traveling by chance, or rather… traveling….?"
Gon nodded. "Yes. A while ago I was looking for my father Ging with my best friend. Now that I've found him, I now plan to get my Nen back. "
"…get Nen back?"
"Yes ... hehe ..." He smiled nervously. "Really a very long story ..." He rubs his head. Then he looked at Kaori. "You better get some sleep, you should rest a little more."
"Yes ... you may be right." She nodded.
With that, Gon walked out of the room, leaving Kaori alone.
'… .I think I would like to accompany him… .but he wants me to be there? She touched her wound again.
'... thieves ... what?'
~ next day ... ~
It was early in the morning. Kaori and Gon had got up early.
They both stood in front of the doctor. The girl bowed politely and thanked her.
Then they went on ...
After a brief moment of silence ...
"... .Gon?"
"Yes, what is it?" He asks politely.
She blushes easily. "I would… like to accompany you on your journey for a while. … ..May I? "She asks quietly.
Gon's face lit up. "Yes of course! That would be nice. "He looked even happier than a few seconds ago.
"R-r-really ?" she stuttered in disbelief. "Are you serious?"
"Yes. As I said ... I'm happy to have someone with me again ... so my answer is: Yes of course! "He grinned broadly.
"Thank you ... gon. Thank you very much. "She whispered. 'I promise you ... not to be a burden ...'
With that they both made their way to a port to get a ship to the next island.
Gon has got a new companion on his journey to regain his Nen. Your name is Kaori! But what is your real goal? Maybe we will soon be able to find out more about your thoughts….
to be continue…
Neo-Digital: To be honest, I had a lot of fun with these dialogues ... pretty cute, right?
Kaori: Self-praise stinks.
Neo-Digital: Sorry….
Kaori: Can you find out what happens next time?
Neo-Digital: A worthy filler….
Kaori: Huh?
Gon: See you in the next chapter! ^ - ^
