Hello! Sorry for not updating. ==" But here are my usual list of thanks! (my email kinda gone weird, so I can't reply to your reviews, I'm so SORRY! I'll get to everyone one day... one day...)

Thankyou to my sister for beta-ing! And my friend RGNN, of course, for her nice encouragement! And story-alerters, favouriters, reviewers, you all have my thanks too!

Now, I shall stop my ramble and let you all read...

Killua stared at Wind through the glass pane into the room where she had been placed. It was protected, no-one was allowed in there except for her personal doctor, Doctor Creed. He sighed. It had been three days already and she still didn't show signs of waking.

And it annoyed him that his heart kept twanging whenever he looked at her. Which was also why he kept looking, as he didn't know why that was happening. He placed a hand on the glass and closed his eyes. Then he slowly pried them open again to… the weird twanging in his chest.

AAARGH, WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?

The revolving fan in the corner of Wind's room whirred. Killua growled in annoyance. There were microphones in there, just in case Wind's condition changed.

Doctor Creed had explained to them the fan's purpose.

'Why is there a fan in the room? Wouldn't it disturb her?' Gon asked worriedly. Doctor Creed smiled down at him wearily.

'Air users are one of our strongest tribes, you know that? But because they're the strongest, they also have one of the biggest weak points. A part of that is air movement.' By then, even Kurapika was interested. Doctor Creed took one look at Gon's face and sighed.

'To get power, you must give up something, yes? That is one of the rudimentary lessons in the world. That is also why Wind-sama has this affliction in the first place. But every tribe has a specialty weakness. The air-users have one of the biggest weaknesses, as it is almost as strong as fire. And a part of it is that if there is no air-movement, not counting their breath, then they choke, and die.'

Everyone widened their eyes.

'That's why there is a fan inside the room. Don't worry; the air will not hurt Wind-sama. She was originally a Wind clansman after all.'

'What if someone stops the fan?' Doctor Creed laughed at Leorio.

'As if someone would do that! Don't be silly, boy.'

Killua stepped away from the glass to the footsteps that had come in through the door. The rest of the group was there, Leorio, Kurapika and Gon.

'Killua, when are you going to stop staring at Wind? By the way you're acting, it seems like you're her long-lost father or boyfriend or something.' Killua blushed at the boyfriend part.

'As if I'm doing that.' Gon skipped forward and looked at his face.

'Aha! Killua's blushing! What for?' He blushed even harder. 'I know! You must be in love with Wind!' He said with this uncanny wise look in his eye that he sometimes had. Killua immediately whipped his head up.

'What? Whatever gave you the notion, Gon?' The other boy looked innocently at him.

Innocently evil at least.

'Maybe the way you sigh in your sleep.' Killua gaped at him. What?

'I do what?' Leorio stepped forward.

'Really now?' Leorio said, putting on a professional air. He pushed his glasses up and looked at Killua gravely. 'Do you have any of the following symptoms? Like your eyes seemed to be drawn to her even without you realising?' Killua twitched. 'You want to be with her at all times?' He jerked. 'You get jealous when she seems to like another guy?' He twitched again. 'You heart twangs every time you look at her?' Killua jumped.

'How the heck did you know all that?' he cried, pointing at Leorio accusingly. Was he stalking him? Leorio just shook his head and smiled. Gon did so too, though Kurapika looked a bit pale.

'It seems like you have caught an arrow in the heart.'

Killua looked at him as if he was mad. How could anyone touch him without him noticing, let alone shoot at him?

'It seems like you have caught one of the most common afflictions of all.' Leorio said in a dramatic voice, striking a pose, expecting a reaction. Killua started to look worried.

'What, is it a disease? Is it deadly?' This time, it was Leorio who looked at him disbelievingly.

'Gon,' he looked at Gon, 'your best friend seems to be denser than you are.' Killua glared at him angrily.

'Just spit it out!' Leorio went back to his overly dramatic voice.

'You, dear chibi-Killua, have caught the love bug.' Killua stared at him disbelievingly yet again. Then he went up to Leorio and stretched up to reach his forehead.

'Do you have a fever…?' Leorio growled in annoyance and swatted his arm away.

'You're in love, Killua! L-O-V-E.'

'I am not.' He crossed his arms.

'Kurapika! Think of a way to prove to him that he's in denial!' Kurapika just shook his head and stood a little further from Leorio.

'I'm out of this,' he said, still looking a bit pale. Then a bunch of flowers suddenly got shoved into Killua's face. All kinds were there, from roses to sunflowers.

'Then you should do it the traditional way! Only change it a bit. Like instead of saying 'she loves me, she loves me not,' say 'I love her, I don't love her.''

Killua stared at the flowers.

'Huh?'

Leorio sighed.

'I realised you had a deprived childhood, but not that deprived.' He proceeded to get a flower and plucked a petal off the flower saying, 'I love her.' He pulled another petal off. 'I don't love her.' Leorio shoved it into Killua's face. 'Keep doing that until you have one petal left. The sentence you would say for that petal is what you feel.'

Killua looked at him disbelievingly.

'And that's supposed to work?' Gon smiled up at him.

'Yup! Never underestimate the wisdom of nature!' Killua looked at Gon's hopeful face and took them.

If Gon says so, it just might be true… he does have a weird sense to know things like this…

Leorio whooped.

'Now we'll just leave you, lover boy, and get to our own stuff. Bye bye!' He started to walk to the door. Then stopped and looked over his shoulder grinning cheekily.

'You know, they say denial is a stage of luuurve you know.'

Killua threw a shoe at him. He dodged and ran out of the room, laughing loudly. Kurapika just sighed, shook his head and sighed again. Then he offered a bye and went out as well. Then Gon also said a bye and skipped out, telling him to call him if he wanted something.

Killua stared at the flowers, and not believing he was actually doing this, started to pluck the petals off muttering to himself the words:

'I love her, I don't love her, I love her…'

Killua huffed in disbelief. All the flowers had ended with 'I love her.' He certainly did not love her, dammit!

He looked at the only flower left. An innocent daisy sat on the table, as if grinning smugly at him. Killua closed his eyes, prayed that it wouldn't come up with 'I love her' again and started plucking.

I'll trust this one. If this one says the same, I'll believe it…

The last petal stared at his frozen unblinking face.

'I love her.'

The flower seemed to cackle evilly at him.

Wind's view…

I suddenly woke up. Might have been something momentous or something…

I had been in the yellow-skied dimension for three days. It actually had nights, the dimension, I never knew.

And as predicted, when Dusky saw me lounging around in there, she had immediately sobbed rivers of tears while punching me while yelling about worried she was. Not that I heard what she said clearly.

It was sweet and everything, but her punches hurt.

Like really really painful painful.

I sighed and rolled onto my back until another shudder went through me. What was happening? I was being sucked somewhere. I was slowly disappearing while not at the same time. I suddenly saw three things at once. My body in the Hunter world with Killua looking at a petal-less flower, me slowly fading away in the yellow world and my other body.

On Earth.

I watched as the yellow-dimensioned me disappeared completely while the eyelids of the body on Earth flickered. Then a shrill beeping came to the monitors of the hunter world machines around that body.

It was getting fainter, but Killua had flashed up and stared at my body in the Hunter world, while dozens of doctors suddenly went in, looking panicked and shouting instructions.

Then I couldn't see anything at all until I tried cracking my eyelids. I knew there were light, and a light breeze. But my eyelids felt like there were elephants balancing ten tonnes each were pulling them down. I tried again, and I eventually (after like seven minutes) opened them.

The first thing I noticed was the brightly coloured cards on the table where my head was facing. The second was that the surrounding was completely "real", which was weird for me, who had gotten used to anime surroundings.

Thirdly was the light, which signalled that it was early evening, or a late morning.

I let my eyes shut closed. Why was I in the normal world again? Had something happened?

Some voices came through the walls and the door opened to, what I thought, were two nurses.

'And I said to him that if he was going to cheat on me, then I'll just dump him. And I did! That was yesterday, Saturday.' she squealed.

'Really? Congratulations!' the other one said.

'You know this patient?' The second one said, (I'll just call her number two) to number one.

'Yeah?' said number one.

'She's an enigma this one. She suddenly went into a coma, and her cancer stopped. Doctors did so many tests on her you know, but then something even more miraculous happened!'

'What?'

'She had terminal cancer, and the cancer didn't just stop, it disappeared from her body!'

'What? No wonder the doctors check this patient more often!' Two pairs of hands turned me over and settled my head gently, checking if I was breathing properly before taking her hands away.

'Yeah. Maybe a cure for cancer is coming up!'

I snorted inside my brain. As if that was going to happen.

They kept chattering, doing other nurse stuff and left. I cracked open my eyes and looked at the cards from the corner of my eye.

Who had left the cards? Everyone should have forgotten me by now. At least I knew today was Sunday.

A cute frog cart caught my eye and I tried to read the words that were half visible through the corner of my eyes.

From Ta…

Then I got distracted by a pineapple card. I nearly drooled, I haven't had pineapple for such a long time! Aah, pineapple…

I sighed, and resigned myself to not having pineapple and try move my muscles again so I could see the card clearer. This was just like those initial weeks of training in the yellow dimension. It sucked.

Maybe Jeb was preparing for this? Nah, he doesn't have this much forethought.

I resigned myself to it, and tried twitching my arm.

After five hours of progress, I think I finally moved my arm a centimetre.

Joy.

In Avril…

Killua stood up as the machines inside suddenly beeped. The display on the screen showing her heartbeat was a flat line, and a long beep issued from the machine. Then another machine started flashing, then another.

Doctors rushed in, Doctor Creed at the front.

'Go inside! We need immediate treatment! Inject this into her, and start the procedure!' He handed a vial to another doctor, and they immediately rushed to Wind. Killua narrowed his eyes. That looked like…

A doctor blocked his vision, and ushered him out. Another team of medics came in, bearing some random complicated looking stuff. But Killua wasn't paying attention. He was busy thinking what was in that vial.

I know I studied it before. And all I have studied included drugs as poisons and their cures. Considering the viscosity and the colour…

Killua's eyes widened and he turned around and caught a wooden arrow that was directed at his head. He held it in his hand as evidence for later and looked around to try and find the perpetrator. There were too many shadows, too many people. He looked around wildly and started running to the log room.

If he was right, then he needed to check something. And from the attack, it seemed like he had realised something important. Something he shouldn't have breached upon.

He just needed proof. A thought suddenly flashed through his head and Killua suddenly skidded to a stop and started running to Gon's room.

If someone had attacked him, then he might target the others as well. And without Wind, they were more vulnerable than ever. Killua increased his speed until everything was a blur.

Gon, please be safe.

At the Middle Universe's prison, first level, offices.

A young apprentice grumbled. He had to do high secretariat Jeb's unfinished work again. And he had the audacity to grin and say hi to him! He was going to suffer because of him and he said a GREETING. A casual one, no less.

He sighed and reached for the next pile. It was regarding the wishes that Jeb had taken out of duty. The young star puzzled over why out of all the work, only this pile was the one that was never sent out. Not one sheet of information about his charge had come out.

He raised his eyebrows at the first page. It had been finished, so why didn't he submit it?

He lazily scanned the page and suddenly stopped.

Then reread a line.

And then reread it again. He slammed his hands hands into the table and stood up, looking at the sheet of paper alarmed.

He hurriedly flipped to the second page and continued scanning. Then the third page. All was complete, and detailed. But the contents…

He immediately rushed into the communications room and took a communicator. He pressed a button and urgently started speaking into it.

'Immediately transfer high secretariat Jeb to the Top Universe's largest dungeon. He is being charged with a second order offense. Repeat, a second order offense. Arrange for a trial as soon as possible, and arrest his assistants. Repeat the order?'

'No, all clear.' A reply crackled through.

'Then proceed immediately.'

The click as the communicator was placed back seemed to echo through the whole building.

I'M SORRY ITS A BIT SHORT! I'll make up for it later, I promise!

And I'm sorry if its degenerating into a story people don't like. ==" But I shall try my best for the other people! ^^ Thank all of you, hehe, for supporting this fic, for without you all reading it, what's the point of posting ne? Haha!
