Hello again, dear readers! So i got two reviews from two individual readers (Thank you so much!!!)
To all readers, i will answer your questions/suspicions/desires here and see if it is possible to make your ideas/constructive criticism come true:
sherry dark jewel : I am so happy you love this fanfiction. YES! Gon is the new spider as mentioned in chapter 4 when he gave up on retaliating and just accepted reality that he will either get killed or he could live and join the spiders, he joined them in the end. Yes, also I can't wait to reach the part where i write Kurapika's reaction to Gon joining his greatest enemies... And i also vey much love a dark Gon... it reminds me of his atittude when waiting for Neferpitou while was healing Komugi. I wanted to recreate that darkness around him in here.
Born in the Next Generation : I liked the part where i wrote that Gon became a Specialist, too. Of course Gon will not be too much of the original character, in fact, he might become considerably out of character at some points. I also am ecstatic to write the part where kurapika knows about Gon joining the Genei Ryodan.
If you guys have any other questions or ideas, voice them out in the reviews! I will answer them as long as i have an answer (which i will probably have)
Now, on with the story
The following day, Gon woke up feeling refreshed, and a little embarrassed. He let his Nen take the better of him and freeze his room, the hallway, and almost Shalnark and his room. He better apologize. He got a little startled when he saw he was late. He quickly washed his face, brushed his teeth, combed his always untameable spiky hair, then grabbed his pen and Nen paper.
As he walked to the dining room, he wrote a wholehearted apology about what he did, hoping it can be forgotten and moved upon. He entered and walked right to where Kuroro and Shalnark were sitting, thankfully they were beside each other, then he lifted the paper in front of them, lowering his head as a blush creeped on his face. One would find it weird that he was apolgizing for people who tormented him, but Gon never held grudges for people who hurt him. Quite ironically, he goes into ultimately furious mode when someone innocent or a friend of his were harmed (like Kite, but this isn't the chimera ant arc, so when Gon used up all his Nen at Neferpitou, he can do a similar thing to other people too)
"What are you apologizing for, Gon?" Kuroro asked. Gon expected Kuroro and Shalnark to be angry with him. On the contrary, they were quite normal. He tilted his head in confusion as he was quite dumbfounded at the moment.
He quickly scribled Ice, Nen, yesterday night.You and Shalnark, cold. Shaknark chuckled. This boy was too innocent for his own good... "It is fine, really. We can do something about it you know, so do not worry. Actually, you just proved just how much potential you hold. If you train really well, we may take you with us on the next mission in a few weeks. Now, go eat your breakfast, you are already late" Gon flushed again. He most definitely did not need to be reminded of him being late... He wondered what they would do to him, and he really hoped it is not something bad. The other members already knew about the incident and were very much surprised
When Kuroro finished his breakfast, of course before Gon for he came much earlier, he went to his side and told him "Before you retire to your room tonight, pass by mine first, alright?" Gon nodded, and Kuroro ruffled his hair softly, which helped make Gon's hair even harder to tame... not that it was tameable to begin with.
Hisoka called for him shortly after to begin their training. Basic Nen practice for warm up, then the ice technique. After a few rigorous hours of that, they moved to copying. Hisoka will work on several tactics which would come in handy. Some would think it is not right to practice several things at once. That is true, in case of anyone in any category other than Specialist. If the user was a Specialist, it is advised that they train on several moves even if not perfected. This will give the opponent more of a shock that the one they are fighting has more than one trick up their sleeve... While other categories focus of one trick to perfect as their signature move, Specialists have many.
Gon tried copying the cup, but it did not work. At first the cup made a vague copy with very low opacity that it seemed somehow transparent, like an illusion maybe. The rest of the day was spent on copying the cup, taking occasional breaks for lunch or energy restoration. Gon was obviously not pleased to see that he had not advanced much since he started his failing attempts of copying the cup. He knew it will take time, but looking back at Gon's life, everything was so quick coming. He was able to pass the hunter exam almost a little easily, he was able to finish Heaven's Arena quite fine with Killua, his Nen was forced out, which means it was rapid to wield. It all was there and almost served on a golden platter, so he was not used to have to wait time to proceed forward.
As told, he stopped by Kuroro's bedroom and knocked the door, opening it after hearing and enter from behind the door.
"Ah, Gon. Just in time. How was your training today?" Gon just nodded and made an okay gesture.
"Great, even Hisoka is satisfied with your progress. Anyways, you see, your Nen is a little too strong but uncontrolled. At night, you have nightmares" Then added after he saw him blushing "nothing to be embarrased about, you know.
Your Nen acts on its own while you are sleep and going through a disturbing nightmare. This time it only froze your room, the hallway, and a little of Shalnark's room, but we managed to stop it because I woke you up. The question is, how do you plan on cutting this from happening in case no one realized your Nen lashed out? It can be a danger on our troupe if a member might injure another just because they can't keep their abilities in check. That is why i will be placing a bracelet on your right wrist every night, and take it off in the mornings. I and only I can put on and remove it. The bracelet restrains your Nen while it is on, and your body might not like that and most likely try break free. It will not be able to though, and thus, exhaust you sometimes.
Until you are able to control your Nen while you are asleep, we will do that every night. You come at night and in the morning to put it on and take it off respectively. Understood?" Gon nodded, trying to take in all that information at once. He did not like the prospect of having something restraining him and possibly tire him if his Nen decided to retaliate in utmost futility, but he understood Kuroro's poitn of view on the matter.
He offered his wrist and raised it parallel to the floor, and Kuroro went to get the bracelet. It was beautiful... emerald green with swirls moving in it as of liquid drawing its way around. Only that it was not liquid or anything. Just Nen. It looked mesmerizing, but as pretty as it is, as evil it can be.
Kuroro smiled softly and said after seeing Gon yawn cutely "Well then, go to sleep, Gon. See you tomorrow."
"Mm'kay. Good night." Then Gon left to his bedroom, dragging his feet to reach the room successfully and fall asleep immediately.
Time skip one month later~
Gon has become the fourth strongest in the Genei Ryodan now. Yes... fourth strongest. It was quite a feat actually. First being Kuroro, second is Hisoka, and the third is Feitan. Those three were always in that arrangement, and that never changed. However, it meant that Gon rose from being the weakest member to the fourth strongest, a really significant achievement.
He still sometimes had outbursts of Nen at night which once snaked to the end of the hiding base of the Genei Ryodan. To Kuroro's utter astonishment, Gon's Nen shattered tge bracelet into thousands of pieces that night, which was when Kuroro took it as his job to work on teaching Gon how to control his Nen and put a stop to those huge surges of Nen. Thankfully, a week later of that the Nen binding bracelet was unneeded anymore.
Gon was running up to the dining room on a Friday morning, late of course as he overslept, sort of feeling more warmed up to the troupe. Despote what they did to him to force him to join them, they apologized, and acted more nicely... more... loving... maybe? No no, not loving. Perhaps doting or somehow affectionate. Gon had not realized something different in him today, something very prominent indeed.
He opened the door, and Kuroro said without lifting his eyes to see who came as it was very obvious who it was "You are late, Gon. Try waking up earlier or i will send Hisoka to wake you up." Gon's eyes widened. He did not want that happen again. The last time Hisoka was told to wake him up, he found himself hung upside down using Hisoka's bungee gum and being stared at like a very valuable jewel... or rather... prey instead of jewel.
He shook his head quite frantucally and went to sit down. "AH, Gon! Your eyes!" Shalnark exclaimed Gon cocked his head to the side curiously, not knowing what was wrong with his usually blank eyes.
"You did not see them, did you?" He said again. Gon shook his head no. What was Shalnark seeing in his eyes?
Most of the others had shocked or amused looks once they saw what Shalnark was being so surprised about, which added to Gon's perplexity.
"Go get a mirror when you are done eating and see for yourself." But Gon was impatient. He directly activared his Nen into making a carbon copy of himself standing right in front of him. He learnet how to do it under harsh and rigorous circumstances with Hisoka for long extending hours during the month that he does it so easily now.
"Geez, you make this seem a piece of cake." Hisoka said. He himself was impressed how quickly Gon can summon an exact copy of whatever he wanted.
Gon's eyes widened. His once blank and very bland eyes had a gleam in it. Like before he joined the roupe. His lips parted slightly, wanting to speak. He shut then close directly though. He forgot his he sounded for her had not heard his own voice in a month... He was now sort of afraid of speaking. Maybe... maybe it was time for Gon to speak. To show them that he has grown to liking the troupe, gotten used to them by now, and have acknowledged their efforts into making him blend with them.
"K-kirei..." (It means: pretty. In Japanese.)
"G-Gon? Did you say something?" Machi asked, dumbfounded. She had not heard his voice since the day he screamed and tore his stitches off his stomach around the beginning of his stay.
Gon smiled. He nodded and said a faint yes. His voice was weak and sort of childish from it being shut for a while. Who cares though? Not him. Those poeple gave him no reason to stay silent anymore. To be more frank, it was those who he considered to be his dearest friends were the ones to betray him. It had been a month and they had not tried to save him. He was fine now here. Even though he did not hate them, keep a grudge and a need to get revenge in them, he would not go back to them. He forgave them, but he was not going to make the same mistake twice.
"Anyways, Gon. Next Friday, we have a mission, and you are coming. You have proved more worthy than we originally expected, but that is magnificent actually. Which is why we will take you, but there are conditions. Not anything restricting, but more of how you are going to look when you go with us. Your look, the one of a vulnerable and very cute and weak child can be used to our advantage. Whenever we go on missions from now on, we will dress you like a child, you will act like one, then show your true colors to the opponent. They will, no doubt, underestimate you greatly and this will enhance our chances of success. Understood?" Kuroro explained.
Gon was struck like lightning. He was allowed to go to the next mission? Before, they had two missions, and he was left with Hisoka for intensive training. It was tougher than the usual ones and much more exhausting... Yessss no more training with Hisoka for endlessly painful hours.
But what surprused him evern further is his behaviour in there. He already looked childish... yes, and now he will dress and act more like one? It seemed fun to fool the ones they were going to attack... butvhe was worries about what will they make him wear. What if it was embarrassing?
A week later, Machi, Fietan, Hisoka, and of course Gon, were shopping in disgiuse for childish clothing for Gon. He was dreading the moment he was going to be told to come along to shop for clothes. He had no idea what kind of clothing to expect.
Hisoka decided to be a very annoying thirn in the flesh and suggested making him crossdress like a little girl. Of course, Machi beinf a girl agreed, and Feitan, the very smug one at rhe moment, accepted. And thus... they went into a girls clothing store.
"Hello, gentlemen and lady, If you are looking for an outift for the young man, i suggest you go to the shop next to mine on the right."
Machi then replied, inwardly in a fit of laughter "Oh no, it is actually a she, sir."
The owner stuttered gor a moment, then let then for themselves. He saw it very confusing that this girl looked so boy- like.
Machi and Hisoka picked up every overly cute and frilly dress available in the section Gon's age, and Gon felt it was better that the ground swallows him than wearing those. Kuroro said childish and not girlish. Then again... Hisoka twisted the words to make it seem that the gender of the clothes was not specified and thus, gave them the permission to choose.
Gon really looked like a girl at the moment with a black frilly dress that had puffed shoulders, tight waist, and a very puffy knee length skirt and had frills on the waist and the hems of the dress. God damn it all! He wanted to scream he was a boy, but what will happen to him? killed? embarrassed even further? He just kept quiet as he tried dress after dress... Pink, blue, green, violet...
They purchases four dresses and 2 shirts with three skirts all extra girly looking in total. Gon was a blushing mess by the end of the it. They even fitted him for a pair of kitty heels that had a small frilly thing on the back of the ankle and thigh high socks, knee high socks, and hakf calf high socks that had frills and a bow on the top. This was too much humiliating for him to take!!
When they were back, Hisoka forced a baby blue dress, reaching his knees. The long sleeve ended with frills... of course... The waist had a satin black ribbon with a big black bow on the lower back. The dress of course had frills and tiny littke bows decorating the hemline of the dress. He had him put on the white half calf high socks that had a bow on their front on top and the black kitty heels on. They also bought him a blonde wig and another black. For now, Hisoka put on the blonde one, combing it silky soft then tying then in two high pigtails. He looked like a perfect little girl not older than nine years old...
Hisoka dragged Gon behind necause the latter was not coopertaing much, the other were having lunch before moving out to the mission site. Gon blushed scarlet red to the ears when they all looked at him. They burst in laughter and snude remarks about how cute and childish he looked like now.
"Ne! Boss! You never said girl clothes!" Gon half shouted. Kuroro was having a hard time not to laugh at the moment, but he managed to say
"Exactly... it seems i forgot to specify which gender you will be looking like a child as. I suppose they used this opportunity to make you look... like this." then he walked away, patting Gon's head and laughing in his way out. They all complimented him on how he looked, and Shalnark recieved a painful punch in the shoulder because he gave him a pink rabbit to hold and more emphasise the child part. What the hell was wrong with those guys?
He groaned and grumbled and stomped his way to the exit of the secret base only to trip on the low heels and falling on all four, revealing his thighs and round ass for everyone in the troupe to take a good look at. Hmm... he really seemed to have a girl- like body. Slim waist, round hips, circular bottom, and slender legs. What else? Oh ya, the clothes made it stand out well.
Gon tried calming himself as he walked to the car. Fine! You want to make me look like a little girl, I will act as one... Gon thought smugly. When they reached the car, he made sure to sit in Hisoka's lap, plopping himself right on the older man's closed legs. Gon's back was facing Hisoka's chest, his legs were swinging carelessly on the outisde of the magician's.Hisoka could not keep down a blush that creeped on his face from the way gon was sitting, his small back a little arched making the dress line his bottom.
"Gon? Why are you sitting here?" Machi asked with a smirk.
"Oh, no reason. You wnated me to act like a little girl, so i am." He replied casually. On the inside, he felt like a mess, but he was not about to give those guys the satisfaction of embarrassing him like this.
A/N: A little short and an unusual chapter lol. I felt the story was a little too focused on tenseness and such so i decided to add a little humor in here. It was a little of a weird while for me writing this chapter but well... the next one should be better. Hope you liked it (knowing it is a weird chapter)
