1.1 A Promise is A Promise

Note: Pardon if Chapter Four was only a short chapter. Lately I've been having writer's block… I hope you'll be patient and understanding. I'll try my best to make longer chapters.
1.2 Chapter Five-Haunting Dreams
It was already nightfall, yet I couldn't sleep. I kept on seeing Gon's terror-stricken but still-smiling face gently telling me to continue both his dreams… and mine.
Finally, I got some sleep, but it wasn't what you'd call, 'a good, long sleep.' First, it was definitely not good because Irumi was involved in it. He was saying, "Killua, you don't need friends. You'll see later, you'll end up killing all of them." Along with that came the massacre, and Gon falling to the ground.
Second, it wasn't long because I only got more or less four hours of sleep, and add to that, it was a very twisted dream. I'm not even sure if I understand it anymore. It was so strange, but I don't really think my subconscious could have imagined that. It was so scary, seeing Gon's face turn into a twisted, sarcastic, smile.
But what freaked me out was the fact that in my dream, he didn't say the same things he had. He had suddenly reached out and tightened his grip on my neck, and I was beginning to suffocate. I managed to ask him, "Gon, why are you doing this?" before gasping out for breath.
Then Gon's features changed and it wasn't Gon anymore, but Irumi. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Let go of me!" I kicked and struggled but I couldn't make him let go of me. Then Irumi's pins appeared on his hand, and I knew it was over. He threw it at me, and I could already feel my face changing…
"AAAAH!" I shrieked. Okay, it's only a dream; it's only a silly nightmare. There's nothing to be afraid of, Killua Zordick. You're 13 years old, and are an assassin. You fear nothing. I kept chanting the words, but I wasn't convinced. I couldn't go back to sleep anymore after that.
I looked at the watch. It read 11:07 PM. It was still evening, though I felt like I had dreamed for several hours again. I shivered, recalling the two nightmares I had. It had felt so real. What could be making me imagine this? Gon would never be like that, I'm sure of it. If I have anything to blame on anyone, it would be Irumi. He was, after all, the only one who could scare me out of my wits. I sighed and tried my best to sleep again, hoping that there would be no more haunting dreams. Unfortunately, every time I slept, the same dreams popped all over again, and though I had already seen them, I couldn't help but scream repetitively.
How weird it all was. I didn't fear getting chased by people, because I killed someone they knew, or doing huge risks just for distraction. It was what had happened during the time we went to New York for the auctions. Thinking about it, that was the biggest risk I'd taken. Two times I could have been executed on the spot, but I'd escaped. I could have watched Gon and myself die, but I didn't. Although our attack had failed at exactly 7:00 p.m., it had still provided a diversion for Kurapika to kidnap Kuroro, the Gen'ei Ryodan Leader. It was actually a kind of suicide attempt, now that I think back to it…
Great… what a life! Can't it get any worse? I thought that my troubles were finally over… guess I thought wrong. Who would want the whole crazy thing to happen without the consequences, though? It definitely wasn't Reorio or Kurapika, no doubt about that. Unless of course, they were traitors, a practically impossible explanation, considering the fact that they had almost always accompanied Gon and I wherever we went. What about one of the Gen'ei Ryodan? Uhhhhhhhhh… I don't think so… I would have thought that Kurapika had already killed them all, or at least ordered them to disband, and I wasn't so willing to risk my neck anymore after two times of near-death cases. Hisoka? I don't know, it's kinda dubious. If he were going to do something, he wouldn't hire stupid fools like those. He'd most probably do it himself, knowing it was more efficient. And he wouldn't have done it due to his obsession with fighting Gon.(You think I haven't noticed? I'm not that dumb, you know.)So who was left? Me? No way! You think I'd do something that treacherous? I'd rather die than do that. Ummmm… I'm pretty much running out of suspects. Never mind who did it. I don't have to know. (Whom am I kidding? Of course I have and want to know so I can reduce his, or her if that's the case, beating heart to a red, bloody pulp.) I just have to find out how to stop it, before I go totally berserk from lack of companionship.
"Gon, I know you can hear me right now. Please just wait for me to find out how to revive you again. I won't stop until you're well again. And I'll try my best in school. After all, a promise is a promise, isn't it? And don't worry, after this, I can solemnly say that we'll eat all day. And the food we'll eat will be all, and I mean all kinds of candy and every flavor of ice cream. We'll both eat until we burst. I promise." I smiled bitterly after the last statement. Another promise. Which I'll be bound to break no matter how hard I resist. Another deceiving lie.
I can't go on much longer like this. When will all this stop? I wish everything would turn back to normal… no worries, no problems.
Wonder when I'll ever attain peace? When I won't have to worry about some stupid idiot trying to kill my best friend and unknown reasons for doing it.
I wonder…
When?
Rei: Okay. Another chapter finished.
Killua: Another chapter where I…(muttering) say stupid, nonsense things. I'm not supposed to be babbling you know! I'm the silent assassin. Assassins don't blabber on and on and on!
Rei: You're doing it now. (Smirk.)(mumbling)What a hypocrite you are.
