Windswept
By SMYGO4EVA
They remembered who they were before.
Killua was feared, cynical, and ruthless, just short of becoming the monster that his family tried to make him. He found a goodness from within, one brought out by Gon.
Gon burned with a light that shimmered in both determination and in anger. He too held a darkness, not from some long dormant hatred, but what was bitter and terrible.
It would have been too easy to give in.
It was everything that Killua wanted to spare Gon from.
They remembered.
The past was past, but they could not forget.
There was no holding back.
Killua crawled out from such darkness, and Gon rose from the ashes.
They remembered, and now, windswept and bruised, they smiled.
They looked outward, towards the new tomorrow.
