By the way, if this chapter seems quite in a rush. I'm truly sorry for the 2011 ones are mostly talks when it comes to get Killua, except when meeting the butlers, but...for my character. Sorry...that's a surprise.

Plus, I wanted my Character to have her own adventure and won't still the thunder for Gon. Lol.

Thank you and please enjoy. I do not own Hunter x Hunter.

Chapter 11

"na...ana...Hana...Hana!"

My eyes snapped open to see Kurapika, Leorio, and Gon smiling down at me. I looked at them confused until Leorio pulled out a Hunter License Card.

"Congrats, Hana!" Gon shouted happy for me.

My eyes widen to reach towards the Hunter License, but I stop to remember blood and Killua.

I quickly sit up,"Killua!" I looked at Gon,"Gon, Killua, he..."

"It's okay, Hana. I already faced with Killua's brother," Gon says with a smile.

I blink to look at him with a blank stare to then...

"You idiot!" I shouted bonking his head to stand on the bed.

"Ouch! That hurt!" Gon shouted whining and rubbing the back of his head.

"Your lucky I didn't break your other arm!" I shouted,"What were you think going head to head with Killua's brother? I've seen what that guy can do, and if you two were in fight. He would have end you in seconds."

"Well," Gon rubbed his head to whisper,"I asked him to where Killua was, and he said went home. Um...Kakaruu Mountain?"

Leorio fell down behind Gon and Kurapika sighed.

"Gon, it's Kukuroo Mountain," Kurapika explains.

Gon laughed from misspelling Killua's home mountain. I sigh knowing there was no such mountain.

"Kukuroo Mountain?" I question for them to all nod.

"We even got all the stuff we need to go and get him," Gon says happily.

I blink to smile jumping off the bed saying,"Well, what are we waiting for?! Let's go-"

"Hold it!" Leorio says stopping me. I look back at him to hand me my license,"You will need this in order to go where we are going."

I smiled nodding my head grabbing the license readying for departure. We entered on a blimp that would take three days to go Kukuroo Mountain. On this blimp, all I can do is think about Killua and how I am going to interact when I see him again. We waited for three days to go on a train that will lead us close to Kukuroo Mountain. We asked information about mountain to know we had to take a bus tour.

We went into the the bus to stop at a big gate in front of a forest and mountain. It known as the Door to Hades for no one has returned alive. We learned that the Zoldyck's own the mountain and the land around it as well.

Suddenly, there was two men going to gatekeeper and making him trying to open the door. They throw down the old man on the floor after giving him the key. I quickly rushed over to the old man with Gon besides me.

"Are you okay?" Gon ask.

"Yes, I'm fine," The old man says.

The two men opened the door to go inside with the old man sighing.

"Man...Now Mike's going to end up eating meals again," The old man says tiredly.

"Mike?" I asked confused to hear screams later on.

The door opened for a huge paw to show 2 skeletons of the men before. The tour guide screamed having everyone run away.

"Please...He's only supposed to eat at assigned times," The old man says to shout,"Mike! Don't blame me if you get fat!"

I couldn't help but chuckle as the man made him sound like a dog. The old man looked at me confused.

I looked at him apologizing,"I'm sorry, but the way you talk to Mike. It's almost like he's a dog."

The old man's eyes were wide as he looked at me for the tour guide lady to yell at us to come back in the bus. I didn't listen to that woman as I helped the gate keeper to stand up. He brought us inside his little place for him to serve us tea.

"I see. So you're young Killua's friends," The old man says happily,"I'm happy to hear that. I've worked here for twenty years, but this is the first time any friends have come to visit. Since I work here, I shouldn't say this, but the place is rather lonely. No one ever visits. Though we do see a lot of those..." He points to the skeletons. "Well, a family of assassins is pretty unusual, so I suppose it's the price they have to pay. Anyway, I'm glad you're here. Thank you."

"Don't mention it," Leorio says nervous.

"However...I cannot let you inside," He says with a smirk. "Didn't you see the large arm of the creature? Its name is Mike. It serves as the Zoldyck family watchdog. It only obeys family, and will attack anyone else. The beast still follows the order its master gave it ten years ago...To kill every single intruder."

That's when I started getting confused. I mean, the gatekeeper isn't family so why isn't he killed or eaten.

"But technically, he isn't following the order. Because he keeps eating them...Anyway, I can't let you inside," The old man says happy drinking his tea.

"Sir, how is it that you're safe?" Kurapika ask for the old man to stop shock,"You go inside, correct? If you never needed to enter, you wouldn't have a key."

"Quite perceptive of you," The old man says,"But you're only half right. I require no key to get inside. This key is for intruders."

"A key for intruders?" Leorio ask.

"For some reason, eighty to ninety percent of intruders attempt to use the front gate. If I don't open the gate for them, they'll try to break it down. Such troublemakers...so we added a locked door to one side. The intruders take the key from the helpless guard, and then Mike eats them."

"Then..." My eyes widen to look at the old man,"You have go to be joking!"

"As you just realized, I'm not a guard," The old man says smiling,"I merely clean up after Mike."

"Then the actually gate isn't locked!" Kurapika says catching on.

"Exactly," The old man confirms.

"What?" Leorio questions as we all looked at the gate.

It was night as Leorio tried to open the door but it just wouldn't budge.

"You just aren't strong enough," The old man says.

I looked at Leorio to look at the gate to ask the old man,"Say, can you hold my sword for a minute."

The old man looks at me confused as I reached out for my sword to feel the sword suddenly got light, not light as feather, but light. I stretched my sword to the old man hoping that the man can touch it.

Trust in me, light.

The man took the sword, by my surprised, but...

...he fell down...

The man blinked looking at the sword to shout,"How can sword like this weigh that much?!"

I tilt my head to lean down grab the sword with one hand. I put it back in my backpack to minimize it.

"Oi, Hana!" I looked at Leorio for him to point to the door,"Why don't you try this?"

I nodded my head putting both of my hand on the door to breathe in and push. I waited for a few seconds for the door open, and...

...It did...

...2 doors opened...

My eyes widen as I heard everyone gasp for the old man to quickly shout,"Hurry girl, run inside the gate. Hurry!"

I heard him shout to push me forward to the gate. I passed the gate for Leorio, Kurapika, and Gon to scream at me. The gate closed behind me as I rushed towards the gate, but it closed on me.

"Gon! Gon!" I shouted banging on the door as it won't open,"Gon! Kurapika! Leorio!"

"Hana!" I heard Gon shouting,"Just go and get Killua! We will meet you there!"

I suddenly heard rustling to turn to my right to see a huge paw then a completely huge body of a purple dog. My eyes widen as our eyes connected for it was an amazing creature that took my breathe away, and I didn't feel afraid him.

"A...Amazing..." I whispered smiling,"I'm Hana. You must Mike." I walk forward for Mike to lay down to still look at me,"I...I need your help. Killua is a friend of mine, and I..."

Mike suddenly lowered his head down towards me to put his nose on my cheek. My eyes widen for that was the cheek that Killua put blood on it. He suddenly opened his mouth for me to freeze and close my eyes. Though, I didn't feel any pain instead...I felt something soft. I open my eyes to see that I was on top of Mike's back.

"Mike...?" I questioned.

He howled for me to hear my friends yelling my name and the old man to shout, 'go Mike.' Just like that, Mike started running, running faster then even my sensei's can. I closed my eyes just hanging onto Mike. Though, who would have guessed...I fell asleep.

*The next day*

I felt someone's nose rubbing against my cheek for me to slowly open my eyes, and look to see that Mike was looking at me. I sit up to look around to see a huge building that I can never imagine to see. For some reason, it seems quite dark and I had a feeling that Killua was going to be here. I look out to see the setting sun and realized that I have slept so long.

I stand up to pet Mike to smile,"Thank you, Mike."

I kissed his fur for him to howl again making me laugh. He stands up jumping down the mountain for me to look at the door. I knocked on the door to hear an echo and the door to open by itself.

Creepy...

"Hello..." I whispered,"Hello!" I shouted loud,"I hope it's alright for me to come in! I was just wondering about Kill-"

I was suddenly grabbed by the wrist to come in and the door slamming behind me.

"Who are you?"

I looked up to see an old man with a white mustache, white hair, and his expression seems to be serious and calm.

I open my mouth to shout,"Killua's grandfather!"

I slapped my mouth closed with my palm for the old man to start shaking. I look at him worried as I start to get scared.

"Um...?"

I heard a little chuckle for the old man to go into full blown laughter letting go of my wrist.

"You must forgive me," The old man says,"I've never had someone shout out like that before." The man stopped laughing to look at me,"I'm Zeno Zoldyck."

"Hana Freecss," I introduce,"I was hear about Killua. I meet him in the Hunter Exam."

Zeno's expression became serious as he asked,"How did you get here anyway? The butlers told me nothing about."

I looked down embarrassed to reply,"...Mike..."

"Mike?" Zeno ask surprised.

I smiled looking up at him,"Yes. Mike is quite a strong hunter dog, but...I don't think he isn't an animal without an heart. He must have love his master, and in a way..." My smile got bigger as I put my hands behind my back,"It's kind of cute on how he is such a good boy."

Zeno's eyes were wide but then placed a short smile on his face.

"So, your Killua's friend," Zeno states making my eyes widen. He faced his back to me walking forward,"Please follow me. I'll bring you to, Killua."

"Killua..." I say to smile following Zeno,"T-Thank you so much."

I continue following Zeno to have the walls look like rocks, and truly inside the Kukuroo mountain. Zeno stopped for me to accidentally bump into his back.

"I-I'm sorry," I say rubbing nose.

Zeno looks back at me to say nothing but point to my right. I look at his direction to see a door that brought my heart thumping loudly.

"Is something wrong?" Zeno ask.

I was ready to shook my head but hesitated. I sighed as I knelled down to the ground with my hands on my head.

"What should I do? I wanted to see him, desperately, but I'm sure he must feel terrible for smearing blood on my cheek. He whispered, 'please forgive me.'" I explained. I stand up to look at Zeno,"Your grandson is an idiot!"

Zeno looked at me with wide eyes as I look down at the floor.

"He even thought that weren't friends! Jeez, he makes me so mad that I just want to slap him!" I shouted angry. I stop to realize what I have said,"Oh. Please, forgive me."

Zeno chuckled to reply,"Don't tell me that, Hana. Tell my idiot grandson."

He points to do the door again for me to reach forward and open it. I saw the room became purple and some fat guy was whipping Killua leaving bruises. By the time, I noticed what I was doing. I was screaming at that person for hurting Killua.

"What are you doing to Killua?!" I shouted for Killua to and the fat guy to look at me.

The fat guy narrowed his eyes at me as I glared back at him.

He started to smirk saying,"Oh, your the girl that Illumi told me all about."

My hands were in a fist as I walked around this boy to stand in front of Killua to glare at him.

"Who are you, anyway? And why are you doing this?" I ask for him to smirk.

"I am his brother, Milluki Zoldyck, and this is punishment for leaving the estate and cutting his mother and myself."

I put my hands in a fist as I glared at him saying,"Still, this punishment is just way to cruel. How can you, a brother, do this to your own blood?"

"Hmm," Milluki hums amused,"You will never understand our world. For your world, doesn't involve assassins." I look down to know that he is right.

I would never understand Killua's side of the world, or the way his family is. This was the home he was born in, the home he was raised in. Besides that, all of that, I...

He suddenly pushed me out of the way saying,"So, stay there like a good girl and just watch how this family really is."

Milluki raised his arm for me to glare at him while hearing a slap from the whip. Everyone's eyes were wide except...mine.

"You..." Milluki says shocked.

"Hana..." Killua whispers worried.

I touch my cheek to look at him saying,"I don't need know to about a family of assassins. I might never understand the world Killua lives in, but I do know this. I will do anything to protect the person I care about. No matter where he is, no matter how hurt I get, or how much injuries I have to get. I will protect Killua and bring him back to the world where he truly want to be."

"Hana..." Killua says with wide eyes.

Milluki glared at me,"Y-You..."

We suddenly heard a phone ring to see Milluki holding out a phone. He responded by his mother talking to him. He hung up to look at me.

"So, your not alone," Milluki says making my eyes wide.

"Gon...Kurapika...Leorio..." I whisper with shock and relief.

"Hmm. I wonder how you will feel if I call my mother to dispose of them," Milluki says having my whole body shake watching his phone being raised.

"N-No-"

I was suddenly cut off by hearing a chain brake and an arm around me to look and see Killua holding me. He was glaring at Milluki with the most intense eyes I have ever seen.

"Milluki. If you so much as touch them, I'll kill you," Killua threaten having the whole room dark and intense.

"K-Killua..." I whispered shocked.

"That's enough,Mil," Zeno spoke up for us to look at the door. Milluki was complaining but Zeno ignored him continuing,"Kil, you can go."

"Okay," Killua says breaking the other chain to letting me go.

He broke the chains from his ankle and wrist to start stretching as it was just normal thing for him.

"Man, that hurt," Killua says sighing in relief.

I glared at him for to look at me confused.

"Why are you glaring at me?" Killua ask.

"You make it seem so normal, like being whip didn't even matter," I replied as I touched my bruised cheek,"Though, you must have felt this pain from some time now."

Killua's eyes were wide for me to hear a grunt and look seeing Killua punch Milluki.

"Bro, I'm not sorry, but I do feel bad. Though, you already got your revenge didn't you? So, I think I'm done for you to get your fill," Killua says grabbing my hand readying to exit the room.

"Kil, Silva wants to see you," Zeno says.

Killua stop to look Zeno with wide eyes,"Dad? ...Okay."

Killua opened the door for to look at Zeno saying,"Um, Zeno-san." I bowed to him,"Thank you very much."

Zeno's eyes widen to nod his head. Killua pulled me out of the room to go to his room instead. Killua let go of my hand to walk around his room as it was completely silent.

"Um..."

He went to his closet to grab a shirt to finally say,"Idiot." I looked up at him confused as he looked at me angry,"Just what the hell were you thinking?!" He starts screaming at me,"Do you have any idea how much danger you could have been?! You were just lucky it was Gramps! My mother is even worse!"

I stand up to shout,"If I can handle Illumi, then I can handle your mother! Besides, I was way to worried about you then anything else!"

Killua stop looking at me angrily to look surprise,"What?"

I breathed to look up at him saying,"How can you just leave like that? Do you have any idea how Gon and I, everyone, were worried about you? How can you just leave without even saying good-bye?" My eyes were getting softer and my voice was starting to get weak,"Stupid Killua. I was...was really worried."

"Hana..." Killua moved forward to put his arms around me as I put mine around him,"I'm sorry. I had no idea that you were this worried. Hana, I missed you." My eyes widen,"I missed all of you, but... I...I have to meet my father. Do you want to come with me?"

I looked up at him surprised but nodded anyway. I was quite scared, nervous, and somehow anxious into meeting Killua's father. We entered the room of Killua's father to see skulls on the ceiling, webs surround it, and a miniature size of Mike. In the middle of it all, was a man who was buff, wears blue/black, white hair down to his shoulders, blue cat-like eyes, and a somewhat serious face.

We were sitting in front of him and I was looking anywhere, but the guy in front of me.

"Kil. I heard that you've made some friends? And..." He turns his head to look at me,"I see you are one of them?"

I finally look at him to somehow see that similarities from him to Killua. I look back at Killua and his father for Killua to look at me confuse.

"What's wrong?" Killua ask.

"You look a lot like your father," I replied.

Killua's eyes were wide and so were the father's, Silva's.. I look back at Killua and Sillva over and over as I grew confused.

"Did I do something wrong?" I ask tilting my head.

Silva chuckles looking at Killua saying,"I see this one is an honest and cute little friend you have."

"C-Cute!" Killua questioned. He looks at me to look at Silva nodding his head saying,"Yeah. In fact, all of my friends are enjoyable to be around."

"I see," Silva says,"How was the Exam?"

My eyes widen as I looked nervous at Killua wondering what he is going to say.

"It was easy," Killua commented.

"Kil, come over here," Silva says having me look at Silva as he smiles at me,"Your friend can also come over and see here too. I want you to tell me more. Who did you meet? How did you feel? You can tell me anything..."

I smile as I stand up for them to look at me.

"I think this is a talk between Silva-sama and Killua. Please, excuse me," I smile bowing down to them to turn around.

"Hana," My eyes widen as I turn to look at Silva smiling,"Thank you and I'm sorry about my son injuring you cheek."

I touched my left cheek to look at him smiling while replying,"It's quite alright, besides," I looked at Killua as our eyes connected,"I did it to protect someone important to me."

Killua's eyes widen as I smile nodding my head to walk out of the room. I sigh leaning against the door to slowly go down on the floor to have my legs to my chest.

"Gon, Leorio, Kurapika..." I whispered closing my eyes,"I miss you."

I touch my cheek on my knee to feel the cold atmosphere all around me. I was quite frighten to be in this volcano, but I want to get Killua out here. Killua deserves to be spoiled with wishes and just live the life that he wants.

I remembered the smile on his face, the emotionless expression when first meeting, the assassin look I saw at the fight, the scared expression, and... the heartbreak on his face.

...Killua...

I heard a tipping tapping coming from down the hallway for me to stand up straight. I saw what seems like a girl wearing a traditional japanese shrine maiden, black hair to reach her back with two small straight bunches in front of her, boots, and cute little headband.

The girl was staring at me as she was walking passed by with a smile on her face to stop in front of me.

"Hello," I whispered bowing to her mid-waist.

"Hello," she replied back.

I looked up to look at the girl but she was gone. I looked around to see that she was nowhere and could only think it was just my imagination.

"Hana..."

I turned around to see Killua opening the door to close it behind him.

"Ah, Killua," I spoke surprised to look around.

"Is something wrong?" Killua asked.

I look around again to shake my head no.

I turned to look back at him replying, "It's nothing. How did you go with your dad?"

Killua smirked to reply excitedly, "He's allowing me to go of with you and Gon. Though, it was quite embarrassing at one part."

I looked at him confused tilting my head wondering what his father told him. He decided to walk off for me to follow him. We entered his room for him to grab a backpack putting extra clothes, toothbrush, money, and anything available to carry.

"Killua," I whispered standing at the door way.

He smiled grabbing my hand to have us suddenly in run.

"Killua! Why are we running?!" I asked confused.

Killua didn't reply to me for he stopped in the middle of the hallway.

"Kil," I heard a soft woman voice.

I look up ahead to see a woman with huge dress, a weird machine on her eyes, banding to her noise and neck, and fan in her hand. She look down at me as I was startled for I can feel some hatred through her machine eye.

"Who are you?" This woman asked.

"I...Um...I..." I spoke nervously.

Killua pulled on my hand to put his around my shoulder glaring at the woman.

"Leave her alone," Killua hissed at the woman.

"Kil. It's too late. Those three left. Return to your cell," She then pointed to me, "And you, leave here at once and never come back!"

"No way!" Killua shouted at the woman, "We're leaving together."

"Kil!" The woman shouted reaching her hand towards me.

I closed my eyes frighten for this is one scary woman, and this place doesn't help it at all. After a second, I didn't feel anything besides a squeeze on my shoulder. I opened my eyes to see the woman's hand almost close to my face. I look at her face to see her surprised looking at Killua. I turned my head to look at see Killua glaring at the woman with a murderous intentions.

"Out of our way," Killua spoke coldly pushing me forward with him.

We walked forward to exit the volcano to be greet with the setting sun. I sighed never so happy to get out of that volcano in my life. I breathed in the fresh new air to smile and stretch.

"I never thought I would miss the sunlight in my life," I say dramatically.

I heard Killua laugh to turn looking at him. My eyes widen when I saw he was hiding his eyes from me and all I saw was a smirk.

"Kill-"

"You were scared," Killua cuts me off.

My eyes widen even more as he walk towards for me to look down not moving my spot. I look at the ground to feel his hair on my forehead to look up slowly. He was taller than me as I saw his face was so close to mine. I can feel his breathe on my lips to feel the heat on my cheeks.

"Sorry," Killua whispered having his forehead against mine, "I guess it scary to be in the house full of assassins. It must have taken it's tool on you, huh?"

My eyes widen but turned soft as I smiled at him softly.

"It's not your fault, Killua," I replied back for his eyes to soften, "This is the place you grew up in. It's different and I may never understand the way you were raised in, but..." I looked up at him determined, "That doesn't mean I don't want to be your friend." His eyes widen as I continued, "I want to know more about you, Killua. I want to be your friend. I want to be..."

I felt my body suddenly become weak as I felt my self slowly falling down for Killua to catch me. I looked at his face to blurry see a smile on his face, but his eyes seem sharp for some reason. He put his hand on my eyes closing them.

"Your safe now. You can go to sleep. Don't worry," Killua spoke softly.

I smiled to actually close my eyes and fall sleep.

Killua's POV

I sighed to pick up Hana putting her on my back walking through the forest. She weighed like nothing that only made me worry about her.

...When was the last time she ate?...

Now that I think about it, she was hear fully for 3 days and probably didn't eat.

...She was that worried for me...?

I look down guilty to remember the conversation with my father.

"Kil, that girl," Father spoke suddenly.

"You mean, Hana?" I questioned confused.

Father nodded looking at me seriously asking, "Illumi told me that you have fallen for her."

My eyes widen as I looked at Father shouting, "Me?! In love with Hana?! Dad, I just met her! I basically don't her!"

"But you won't to protect her, don't you?" Father questioned having my eyes widen. He pointed to my heart, "In a way, your protectiveness for her is stronger than your other friends, correct?"

I look down touching my heart thinking of Hana. Her angry expression, the murderous expression she had, the emotionless expression when I first met her, the sadness I saw on her face, the smile that surprised me, the fear, and... the heartbroken of when I left.

I felt my heart beating on my chest as I remembered all of Hana's expression. I looked up at Father to see him smiling as he flicked my forehead.

"She must have been worried about you, and she must have the same feeling of wanting to protect you too. I can tell she is quite dense, but not my son," Father commented, "Think about it, Killua. Why do you want to protect her so badly?"

That conversation will never leave my head and even now I'm still thinking it.

...Why do I want to protect her so much...? Why do I not want her to get hurt? Isn't it because I'm her friend? But...

My heart stopped when I thought of Gon, and realized that I didn't want to protect him as much as I did for Hana. My heart ached when Hana was injured or hurt, but watching Gon fight did nothing but concern and amazement.

I was snapped out of it when I felt Hana's head moving on my shoulder to my neck. My hair fall on her cheek and her hair was on my cheek.

"...So soft..." She whispered snuggling even more onto my back.

My back was so warm and it felt so unusual, but... I feel happy. I never felt this warmth before and I don't want to leave it. I look at Hana's sleeping face to have a smile on my face. I stop to turn my head putting my lips on her cheek.

"...Thank you... Hana..." I whispered to see her face have a smile.

...Hana...? Is it alright... for me to have you more than a friend...?
