Kill him!

"Wait! Where's Gon?" Killua suddenly asked, stopping mid-punch.
"Huh? I don't know," Leorio replied, stopping as well. "The heck? He left without us?"
"Nah. You were probably making so much racket that we didn't hear him call us," Killua retorted, waving a hand in the air for emphasis.
"Why you?!"
"Ku-kurapika..?" Killua stiffened, hearing Gon's faint voice.
~/ He sounds so afraid...what in hell happened? /~
"Huh? Killua, where are you going? Wait up!" Leorio called, rushing after the silver-haired boy who was already within the forests in the direction of Gon's voice.
~*~
"Ku-kurapika..?" Gon called me again, approaching me warily as I stumbled backwards against a tree, leaning over it as I clutched my head in pain.
~/ What in the world's happening? Huh? I'm going to...kill Gon? He's my friend! Why in the world was I going to do that? /~
Fistful locks of blonde hair between my fingers...I slid down the tree's trunk and came to sit upon the grassy ground...Stay away, Gon. I'm not safe yet.
~/ You dare name yourself the angel of destiny? Insanity! You can't even take the life of a weaker little boy! /~
"Gon, stay away!"
"Huh? Kurapika, what's happening to you?" Gon asked, throwing caution to the winds as he hurried to my side, kneeling down next to me. "Kurapika?"
~/ What's happening to...me? /~
"Kurapika?"
~/ So how about it? Can't kill him? Come on, prove yourself. You escaped, didn't you? And now you suffer! Atone for your betrayal by stopping others from walking down the path you had! Kill him! /~
"N-no!" I screamed.
~/ Where the heck was that voice coming from? I'm not listening to it...am I? I-I...I don't know what to do!...I need to save Gon...from myself!? /~
"Gon, go!"
"Huh?"
"Just go!"
~/ Kill him! Do I have to explain your reason why you should to you again? Slay him! /~
"Go!"
~/ You're the angel of destiny, you mustn't let him escape! Now kill him before he does! One way or the other, he'll die anyway! If he doesn't...like you, you escaped death and now you have to carry out this task! Do you want your sweet, innocent, little friend be turned into a murderer like you are? /~
"Kurapika!" Gon persisted, now grasping one of my arms. I pushed him away with the other.
"Please, Gon, now!"
~/ Coward. /~
I was too forceful and he fell backwards, almost lying on the ground. He looked so vulnerable already...
~/ Now, Kurapika, now. Strike him! /~
Gon's eye were filling with tears...
The chains rose from their idle position upon the ground, floating in front of me again. I don't seem to have any control of them now...because if I had they won't be doing this now, I'm not that powerful as to be able to make the katanas behind Gon move as well.
~/ My friends' katanas...they're still here after all these years? /~
Gon wheeled around and his eyes widened in shock. Among the swords was a scythe...that looked like the god of death's.
I still sat on the ground, my back against the tree.
~/ What now? /~
~*~
"Killua! Where in the world are you going?" Leorio called and, getting no answer, pounced on the younger boy.
"Get off me, you jerk!" Killua screeched, pinned beneath the bigger male. "I need to get to Gon!"
"Gon?" Leorio muttered dumbly and rolled off Killua.
"Yes, GON," Killua replied in exasperation, brushing off grass stains from his trousers. "I heard him. I'm sure he has found Kurapika already and he sounded like they're in trouble. Come ON!"
"Right!" Leorio agreed, sprinting after the Zaoldyeck.
~*~
"Ready, kid? Your turn. Death."
~/ Wait. That's not me talking... /~
"ku-kurapika? Why?"
~/ Yeah, it's me, not you. You can't handle the task alone yet so I'm...helping you out a bit. /~
"Because, Gon, it's your destiny. To escape death is a VERY awful thing. Look what happened to me! I left when I should have been killed all those years back! And now I'm nothing more than a ghost! A mere body with no soul, a heartless boy with no purpose in this world...now I have though...I love you so much that I'm going to spare you this suffering by making sure you die..!"
~/ I don't need you to talk for me! Stop it, whoever - whatever - you are. Gon's my friend, I'm not about to kill him! It's not his time yet, he hasn't fulfilled his destiny. This is NOT how his life is supposed to end. He still has a long way to go! /~
I started to get up. I really didn't have any control. On my own, I would have been to weak to stand up, but now I'm already approaching Gon...chains floating wildly beside me...
~/ Shut up and stay still. I'll finish this for you. /~
"Kurapika, you're not a ghost, you're not soulless and you're not heartless...you're my friend."
Gon rushed forward and hugged me. The chains started to circle us.
~/ Friend... /~
And the chains fell to the ground along with the katanas...
~/ It was my destiny to be Gon's friend. I HAD to escape the genocide to meet him and the others. Nothing was a mistake and I didn't betray them...and I'm not about to betray my new friends now. /~
And I had control over my body again. I blinked and looked down at Gon who had his eyes closed, gripping me tightly, before shifting my eyes to the ground.
~/ Chain Jail and Judgement...yeah, my chains of hatred... /~
~*~
A/N: Again and again, a mis-sequencing of events. I was planning to let Killua save Gon while Leorio tackles Kurapika but they were too slow! (^_^) Silly me...
