"Good morning, Gon." Said Kuroro as he entered Gon's room two weeks later. The bed was empty though. He looked around to see if the teen was anywhere there and was quite surprised that he was doing handstand push ups... Didn't Machi say that he needs at least a month? What month is that? The boy was up and energetic with who knows how.

Gon stopped in place, then gracefully landed one foot then the other before greeting Kuroro back. "How do you feel today?" He was asked.

"Great! I can go back to training now, right?" He was so eager, so passionate, but no. Machi said a month, and said month was not up yet. The enthusiasm will have to be lowered... however knowing Gon, this would be a near impossible task. Even more than stealing that Greed Island game or even completing it at the matter. Then the head spider remembered his main purpose of coming. Hopefully, it would work as a pacifier for Gon's always- to- the- top- energy.

"No. Machi said one month. You will wait two more weeks, got it?" He said firmly, and Gon whined in protest.

"But! I can practice! I can, i really can. Pleaaaase!" He begged. Kuroro sighed in exasperation. This boy was still a handful. One would think he had matured with his Nen core expanding, but it had done no difference...

"No. However, a little after that month is up, you will be taken to Greed Island as you have reached quite a great amount of power. You will go with Hisoka." Kuroro announced.

Greed Island... Greed Island... AH! The game Killua and I were trying to buy! Did Killua make it though or not? Aaaah i really want to go now... Gon thought happily.

"But, we will let you go if you rest those two weeks, or else that right will be terminated. Alright?" Kuroro stated sternly, and Gon nodded hurriedly, already excited and jumping from one foot to the other speedily.

"Got it! Rest for two more weeks, a little more practice, then I get to go to Greed Island. Right?" Gon repeated just to make sure all he had just heard was true.

"Yes, now go to bed. I will go get Machi to check up in you." Kuroro said as he walked to the door, then he stopped and turned back "and don't even think about doing that handstand again in here, you might fall, the room is not that spacious." then he left.

Gon was still too excited to settle down in the bed, but if it meant that he gets to enter the game his father went into, he is so going to wait. Or so he thought he would...

Machi came to check him up, thankful that he had mostly healed quicker than expected. "So i can go train now?" Gon asked directly.

"No! I said mostly. I am pretty sure Kuroro told you to stay put and calm. Wait- how do people usually tame you in such cases? I would bet a hefty sum that it happened somewhere else before." she said sarcastically, not actually meaning it, but was caught off guard when he said: "It happened when i went to Heaven's Arena on the two hundredth floor!"

"Mhm, wait What? They have let you compete in there? How are you- you know what... forget it. I really am starting to doubt if you are a human any further, or if i even want to know what had happened there." Machi said. "For now, you are all good. Take it easy and no training until Kuroro calls for you. Got it?" She said the last part with a glare.

"Okay..." he replied gloomily, then back to his usual attitude as he told her the occurrences back at the Arena. "I participated in my first combat after i barely got my Nen pushed out to the surface. Sort of ended up breaking my arm with a few more injuries. It is fine though. My instructor said i should train before two months though i really felt good."

Machi sighed in defeat. That boy was stubborn and had the ability to actually heal in half the expected time, if not less. "Fine, whatever. But you know better than actually disobeying the boss." she said as she left his room.

Gon then exhaled deeply and threw his body back on the bed. He was already bored... This was so disturbing. He already lay still for a month, asleep, and another two weeks sitting in the same bed. He got up. Kuroro never said he was confined to his room or anything, so he supposed he can leave the room for a while at least. He wore his slippers and walked out of the room in the hallways. God it felt like he had already forgotten this place.

When he reached the main room, he was met by smiles, and a frowning Kuroro. "Why are you out of bed, Gon?" Kuroro asked sternly.

"W- well, i was bored. You never even said i should stay in my room. You just said no training, so i thought... maybe i am allowed to... you know, wander around a little." He said, his voice trailing off, fearing that he had broken rule or something when he was not listening at some point.

Kuroro sighed, he was wrong, and he intimidated the boy. It was not really intimidation, but fear that he had crossed a line. Gon barely gets overpowered with words... unless it was related to broken promises or commands. He softened his gaze and eased "You are right. I am sorry. I can't restrict you any further than that. Come here."

Gon then smiled a little shyly, blushing as he walked forward in his pyjamas, just realizing that he was in them.

"I- I will go change my clothing. Be back in a few minutes!" He said, already halfway through the hallway.


Two weeks completed, Gon found himself skipping happily down the halls for breakfast. He was allowed to start practicing again, and then come greed island! Everything was so grea-

BOOM!

Silence...

Gon blinked twice. The troupe memebers around him blinked thrice...

Hisoka was another skin to the stone wall. "S- sorry! Hisoka, I am so sorry." Gon teared up. He trembled in fear of his own self. He had not thoight of anything when he felt faint attacking aura from behind, and he directly turned a flat hand. It hand not even touched anything, and Hisoka was plastered on the wall.

He kept on mumbling none sense as he pulled a very shocked Hisoka off the wall.

"What happened?" Kuroro asked in a demanding, authoritative tone.

Gon trembled and went silent. He had no idea why, or even how, he had thrown Hisoka with so much force.

Hisoka coughed a couple times, clearing his throat, then said "It was my fault, danchou. I sneaked up behind Gon to see how he would react, and he responded impulsively and very impressively at that. And don't worry, Gon, I am fine." Then he patted Gon's head.

Kuroro sighed and muttered "Such a handful, i swear..." Then spoke out loud "Gon, after breakfast, we will work on controlling your reactions to attacks, or anything else at that matter. Meet me in the usual room." Gon nodded hurriedly and ran to the dining room.

"Remind me to never get on his nerves." Finally spoke Nobunaga.

"You realize that if he wished, he would have ended your existence long before his Nen core matured for 'never getting on his nerves'" Replied phinx sarcastically, and he walked away to the dining room as well.


"Ano, Kuroro?" Called Gon, just a day before they entered the game.

"Yes?"

"I have a saved game data ring with me. It belonged to Ging, but he left it for me. I want to throw it away. If you want, give it to someone who is goibg with me and Hisoka to Greed Island or use yourself." He admitted.

"Why not take it yourself? It would give you a higher chance at actually finishing the game quicker." Kuroro questioned curiously. It was weird that Gon is abke to get rid of such a valuable item.

"I want to challenge myself into completing the game myself." he said with that determined tone that means that nothing would, or could, change this resolve.

"Alright, you are not to use it if you don't wish to do so. However, you will keep it with you. Now, go to sleep, tomorrow we are leaving." Kuroro declared, then he ushered the boy with his very valuable ring back to his room.


Late, and short... i am a failure... it is just that, school hasn't been exactly keeping me my free time, and me using up most of my available free time in doing sports... so i am sorry.
