Leorio began pushing with all his might. Lazily I watched him, as he finally opened the first door himself. It had been only ten days since we arrived. Gon jumped up with excitement with his weights on. His arm had already recovered. I swear he was a monster sometimes. Zebro was shocked at our progress. Leorio was sweating up a storm.

"That was amazing!" Gon said still jumping up and down.

"Gon's amazing. Jumping with all that weight on him." Hikaru whispered to me.

"He definitely is." I murmured in agreement.

Kurapika could push the door but he didn't open it all the way just yet. Same with Hikaru. However Hikaru didn't want to lose to any of us and she trained harder than us all. She did push ups, sit ups, planks, everything! After I showed Zebro, he left me be. I focused on ten. I meditated for days. I did basic training. I trained one type per day. I also did ren for an hour a day. I hadn't kept up with it and already I was struggling. It had taken me months just to make it to an hour. I pushed on. Finally an hour hit and I was finished. I collapsed on the ground sweating.

"Mitsuki?" Kurapika said as he found me. I turned to look at him and that was a struggle.

"Yeah?" I said as I saw him looked shock at the sweat.

"Just what kind of training are you doing?" He asked me, I smiled instead.

"Kurapika?"

"Hm?"

"The world is so much bigger than we imagined it would be." I said as I held up a hand towards the sky. "I feel as though I could fly higher and higher, but what happens if I fly too high?" I said. I didn't have an answer to my own question.

"I'd catch you if your wings broke." He answered instantly. I felt a jolt. "Until then soar as high as you want." He successfully put a smile on my face. Instantly I frowned. I couldn't imagine what would happen to Kurapika if my past caught up with me now?

"Thanks." I couldn't help but feel a warmness spreading through my body. I tried to fight against it. Is this what home felt like. "Up?" I said as I motioned him to grab my hand. He went and pulled me up. I felt wobbly and I just wanted to sleep. I knew when we got back I would pass out.

"How in the world are you more sweaty than me?" Hikaru said seeing the state I was in.

"I just have a more intense training than you guys. Maybe one day you'll be at my level." I said smiling sweetly at her.

"I'll catch up to you. Believe me." Hikaru said staring into my eyes. Her icy blue eyes pierced my soul. I could only smile.

It was the twentieth day. Everyone could now open the door. In fact, Leorio could open two! Kurapika opened his first door a few days after Leorio and then Hikaru not to be outdone opened hers the next day, the same time as Gon. Everyone however agreed that if his arm hadn't been in a sling, he probably would have opened the first door first. I could only smile at the progress.

"Thanks, you guys!" I called out. The guys had allowed us to stay in their home. It was nice. Now we were all qualified to see Killua.

We followed the path until we reached the gate. A young girl stood there. She turned to look at us.

"Leave. You are on private property. It can't be changed, you aren't allowed to be here." She said to us. No emotions in her demeanor.

"We called, we even pass the door of verification." Gon said.

"That doesn't mean intendants are allowed to let you onto the domain."

"In that case how do we get an authorization? We said we were friends, but despite this we weren't given the okay." Gon continued.

"So what? That's simply because there have never been any previous authorizations."

"So all we could do was enter without permission." Gon replied stubbornly. He refused to go home. We all did. None of us were leaving without Killua.

"Yes, that's true. Whatever, I will tolerate you as far as here. But if you take another step, I'll use all my strength to kill you." She said behind the gate. Gon walked up to her. He crossed the line, and

WHACK!

Gon was thrown back to us. Instantly we all were on guard. Everyone got their weapon out.

"Leorio! Kurapika! Guys! Don't interfere! Let me fight." Gon said still on the ground. We could only grit our teeth as he stood up again. "Pff. We don't have any intention of fighting against you. We just want to see Killua." None of us spoke. Hikaru looked like she wanted to say a thing, instead she held her tongue. I knew later we would have hell later.

"Whatever the reason, I obey only the masters." She said as she got into a stance. Gon started to walk towards her again.

WHAM!

Gon flew. He got back up again and kept going forward. Each time she hit him back. Over and over again she hit him. Blood came out of his mouth. His eye was swollen. He continued to push on. This was a battle of wills. Throughout the entire time, I could have sworn we were being watched.

"Well.. Stop it." I heard. I looked back to the girl. "Don't approach any more!" She called out to him. Gon stepped over the line, and she whacked him again. He stood up. "Be reasonable! You know this will lead to nothing! And you! Stop him! He's your friend!" She yelled to us. Our faces serious. None of us went to interfere. Looking at Hikaru, I could tell she was tormented, but she did nothing. She knew there was nothing she could do to stop Gon. This was for Killua.

"We only came to see our friend. We only came to see Killua. So why? WHY DO WE HAVE TO DO ALL THIS?" Gon shouted at her. He punched the gate and shattered it. She jumped back. His foot was on the line.

"My foot crossed the line. You haven't hit me."

"Uh.." She was shaking. Her face was confused. She struggled internally.

"You're not like Mike. You can do whatever you want to hide your feelings. You still have a heart. When I said Killua's name, for a fraction of a second, your eyes gave an impression of gentleness." He said speaking to her.

"Please.. Save Killua-san." She cried to him. Tears dripped down her chin. In an instant I saw a blur. It struck the girl and she went down. My face was in shock. I knew there was someone watching us.

"Really. What could this employee have told you?" A high pitched voice said. Out came a woman who wore a ridiculous hat. She wore an outrageous dress and next to her, stood a girl in a kimono. She was beautiful. Was this girl also Killua's sibling? The older woman was creepy. Her face was wrapped in bandages and something was on her face. As I said before, I was no good with electronics. "It seems we've handle Killua roughly. You know it's very impolite to come and behave childishly here. You are Gon, aren't you?" She said, I think looking at him? It was hard to tell since her eyes weren't showing. "I heard about you from Illumi. We told Killua you were in the domain about three weeks ago. I'm going to repeat to you word by word what Killua requested me to tell you. 'It's a real pleasure for me that you came. But right now I can't meet you. Sorry.'"

We were all in shock. I could feel myself getting pissed off.

"I've wanted to present myself. I'm Killua's mother and this is Kalluto." Honestly I just wanted to ignore this woman. However my intuition was tingling. She was the real deal. I could instantly tell that she had lived her whole life as such. The fact that she had been quiet. Way too quiet. Then it was how she cared so little about what she did to her intendant. Shivers ran down my spine. I was positive that if things ran sour, I could run off and live but the others were babies compared to this. To this monster! Sweat was falling. I fought my instincts to get into a fighting position. It wouldn't do us any good.

The others went to check on the girl laying unconscious. I still stood my ground. I was afraid. For them. To lose them. I was just afraid of this mountain.

"She's just fainted." Leorio told the rest of us.

"That's good." Hikaru said relieved.

"Why can't Killua see us?" Gon asked.

"Because he's in an isolation room. Killua hit me and his brother and then ran away. But he regrets it, and has come back by himself. He imposed the isolation upon himself. Consequently when will he decide to go out? " She kept speaking. Her eye started to beep. "But father!" She cried out suddenly. "Why are you disturbing me? No! You shouldn't untie him!" No! Really! What does that mean?" Just as suddenly she turned away from us. "I have an important matter to settle. Good bye."

"One moment please. We'll stay in the surroundings for about ten days. Could you please tell that to Killua?" Gon told the Killua's mother.

"All right, I'll tell him. Good bye." she said her voice pained and weary. She then ran off into the woods. His sister looked at us. She gave us all a piercing stare and took off after her mother.

"I shouldn't say it, but she's kind of suspicious. 'By himself' that sounds wrong! Gon, it would upset me to go back. Don't you want to follow her despite all this?" Leorio said to us.

"Yes, but in that case it's her responsibly, who will get in trouble.

"Ah.. That's true." Leorio realized.

The girl then woke up. She sat up rubbing her head. I was sure it ached. "I'm going to lead you to the intendants room. There's a phone directly linked to the Zoldyck's residence." She got up and motioned us to follow her.

"Can we trust her?" Hikaru whispered to me.

"I'm pretty sure we can. Gon approves." I said.

"Gon approves of everyone." She said giving me a face.

We kept walking and we reached another house. Five people were standing in front of the building. We were then led inside the house.

"Make yourself at home." We were told. So all five of us squeezed into the couch. I made sure to sit next to Kurapika. A guy sat across from us. Two stood behind him and two stood behind us. The young woman, Canary, who we helped stood behind us as well.

"We aren't in the Zoldyck's residence?" Kurapika asked.

"No, this place is only for employees." The girl told us. She began to patch up Gon injuries. "I'm Canary." She told us.

"We are really please by your attention, but we came here to see Killua." Leorio said. "If's its possible could you take us to the main residence now?"

"That won't be necessary" The guy across from us said. "Killua-san is coming this way."

"Really?" Gon asked excited. I too got excited. I wanted to see Killua.

"Yes. Please wait for a little while."

We all looked at each other and grinned. Hikaru was so happy she hugged me, surprising us both. I just allowed her to keep hugging me.

"Well inactivity makes the wait seem longer. So, what would you say if I proposed a little game?"

"A game?" Kurapika asked.

The glasses man before us took out a coin and flipped it into the air. Suddenly he moved his hands swiftly. We all saw the coin land in the left hand. "In which hand is the coin?" We all pointed at his left hand. "Correct. Well, let's do it a little faster this time." He flipped the coin in the air and swifter than before he moved the coin. Again it was in his left. We pointed once again and the rest clapped.

"Congrats."

"Well. Let's begin the serious things." He moved his hands faster and faster as to leave after images. Leorio was already at a loss. Kurapika, Hikaru and I paid attention and Gon continued to look. "So?" He said stopping with both his fists clamped up tightly.

"I'm not certain, maybe the right?" Leorio said thinking.

"You know I saw Killua-san's birth. If you permit me to, I would say that I have paternal feelings towards him. You who are trying to take Killua away from me. I hate you." He said emitting an aura of hatred. I could only look. "Which hand? Answer."

"Left hand." Kurapika stated. His voice unwavering. He opened his hand and the coin was bent. Crushed in his hand.

"Madam. She had such a weak voice. I easily sensed that she had had her heart broken. I can't accept it. Before Killua-san comes, we'll finish it. I'm gonna judge my way." The person behind us took out his sword and pressed it against the girl's neck. "If you're mistaken once, she's killed. If you are eliminated one by one before Killua-san comes, we'll tell Killua-san you left. And you will never see him again."

The air surrounding us was tense.

"But Killua-"

"Shut up." The man across silenced Gon. "You are still alive because we choose you to be. So it's useless and idiotic to think you can refuse my preposition." He nudged his glasses to his face. He then flipped the coin into the air, his hands instantly grabbed the coins and swifter than the eye could blink he was moving the coin between his hands. "Which hand?" In just like that he was already done.

"Right I answered confidently. I saw it all. He couldn't trick my eyes. Not when I was watching. This was a battle of wills. The group looked at me.

"I choose right!" Leorio yelled out. I looked at him as if he was the stupidest person I had ever met.

"I choose right." Gon said.

"So do I." Kurapika said looking at me with trust.

"Me too." Hikaru replied.

"Here we are, already one eliminated." The guy said showing us that the coin was indeed in his right hand. Like I saw. Turning at Leorio, I stuck out my tongue at him.

"I had to make sure." Leorio scratched his head.

Again the man threw the coin in the air. Still faster than before he moved the coin between his hands. Gon, Kurapika, and Hikaru looked stricken.

"Impossible.. I can't see.." Hikaru said turning pale.

"Which hand?" He said.

"The right." Kurapika said thinking of the fifty fifty chances.

"Left." I answered. This was straining my eyes. I wouldn't lose to a guy like this. If he was like this then what of the main family? I could painfully see what I lacked.

"Left" Hikaru said trusting me. Gon agreed.

"The right answer was left hand. Only three remaining." He gave us a glare. He threw the coin into the air. Instantaneously the coin was already in his hand.

"Left!" Hikaru called out betting on her chances.

"Right." Gon and I said simultaneously.

"Only two more. You guys are fit to be Killua-san's friends." He said as he tossed the coin into the air again. I could see where the coin was going until I sneezed. I was then lost. In shock I couldn't get my act together quick enough and already he was done. "Answer."

"Right!" I said taking a gamble. I nodded to Gon and he understood.

"Left." He told the man. "It was the left hand. Only one remaining. I'm throwing." He said. The coin was in the air when Gon cried out wait. "What? If you want to win some time, we'll kill someone." He said not looking happy.

"Leorio. Give me your knife." Leorio looked at him confused. "Don't worry. I don't have any bad intentions." Gon said as he took off his eye patch. He cut his swollen eye. I instantly realized he was removing the blood to make his eye less swollen. Gon sometimes was a genius. They gave him more tape and he patched his eye up and both eyes were good again. "I'm ready. Now I can see better. You can play again."

"Hmph." Was his only reply before the coin was in the air. I looked at his movements and I knew where the coin was. It was just bad luck that I sneezed. Seems like Lady Luck wasn't on my side this time. I was upset. "Which hand." He asked as he stopped.

"Left." Gon said sure of himself. I knew he was right. I just hated that I couldn't play anymore. I think they knew as well.

"Correct. Well. With them are you still fine?" The man asked and he got up and the two behind him stepped next to him. They then started and everyone's hand was everywhere. The other guys gasped in surprised. These guys were good, I admit. I faintly saw the coin fly to the guy behind us. It happened so fast I almost didn't believe it myself. "So, who has the coin?" He asked Gon.

Gon smiled. He saw it happened. "The one behind me, right?" He pointed behind him. The man only smiled.

"Magnificent!" The men all clapped. Everyone was impressed.

"Gon!" We heard a faint Killua.

"Killua!" Gon said perking up.

"The bad joke lasted too long. Please forgive me." The man smiled to us. "But didn't we manage to have a great time?"

"It sure wasn't that fun." Hikaru said whispering to me. I could only sweatdrop. This had been a nerve wracking experience.

"What? Already? You don't say! What a heart-pounding game!" Leorio said looking at his watched shocked.

"Gon! Mitsuki! Plus Leorio! Kurapika! Hikaru!" Killua shouted in glee. Taking a good look at him, I saw he was bruised up. His face was scratched up. Yet he didn't seem traumatized. He had his own backpack on. So he was going to leave with us!

"Plus?" Kurapika questioned.

"Leorio?!" Leorio shouted.

"Hikaru?!" Hikaru mimicked.

"Ahh! I feel the love!" I could only say as I was in higher level than the others. It was a great feeling!

"Long time no see! You managed to get here, but you should see your face!" Killua said already talking to Gon.

"Yours isn't so great either!" Gon pointed out just as happy to see Killua. Taking a good both the boys were beaten up. I ruffled their hair! I was happy to see them united.

"So should we leave now? Wherever but let's go! Because here, my mother doesn't want me to leave."

"Sure let's get out of here!"

"So see ya! By the way! Gotoh, don't listen to my mother, whatever she says." Killua said giving out orders.

"I understand. Have a good trip." Gotoh bowed in respect.

"Can't wait to leave." Hikaru said getting up and moving towards the door. We all followed with Killua talking our ears off. He looked so happy to be leaving his home. Only Gon stayed behind for some reason.

"I can't believe you guys actually came after me!" Killua said with so much enthusiasm.

"How could we leave you alone after what we saw." Hikaru said looking at Killua.

"Well Nee-chan I could understand but you? Even after I kept calling you a hag?" Hikaru had a tick mark on her face.

"Yeah about that. I am not a hag!" She said messing up Killua's hair. Kurapika and I chuckled at them.

"Man time went by so quickly!" Leorio commented.

"It was the adrenaline." Kurapika explained to us.

"I'm back!" Gon called out to us, running.

"Took you long enough!" Killua and I shouted at him.

We then began the trip back to town. It was going to take awhile. Good thing we were all prepared.

I'm so sorry! I had this written out and everything, and then I was going to post but somehow all my writing were unsaved! I had to start over from scratch! Like I'm not sure how all this happened! And so it took longer than I expected! I will try to have the next chapter out in a few days! Believe in me! So sorry!
