REPLIES TO COMMENTS
Guest : I'm sorry~ ( u_u) This story is not that much on the dark stuff. Although every now and then there are angsty POV's by Killua, this one is more on the general side and humour. I hope you'd still read it despite that
SakuraPetal91 : Haha, you'd never know xD
!WARNING!
If you're here to leave a comment about how you did not like the plot, well GTFO. I only tolerate constructive crictisms (specially the ones that could help me improve my writing, grammar and syntax) and not biased statements basing on one's peference only (stuff like how you did not like my genre and the characters I put in it). If you don't like the story, then don't read.
AND FOR THOSE WHO LIKED THE FIRST STORY AND STILL READING THIS, showing appreciation wont also hurt as much as I often thank you guys for reading and keeping up with my story. R&R PLS! A follow or fave will also do good!
CHAPTER 2
-BREWING STORM-
"HAHAHA! It's been a long time buddy!"
They were really glad to see me again. It's been almost half a year since the last time I visited this place. I usually keep in touch with them trough the internet but a real visit is still a different story.
"So, where's Gon?" Meleoron asked, sitting in the couch in front of me.
I decided to stay here in Kakin at Kite's place at the moment. I always feel relief when I stay here when I'm not with Gon. Kite has grown up really fast as the King's twin and she looked about her former body's age now. She resumed her former occupation as a Contract Hunter along with the rest of the ants who had no shelter that has finally decided to reside with Colt and Kite's exploration team for refuge. The exploration team is currently incomplete however as Podungo and Lin are staying at Peijing for a research and will be back after a month.
That exactly explains why I visit here sometimes, no matter how far, just to see them. On some occassions, I bring Alluka with me. Knuckle, Shoot and Palm would occasionally come over too.
Although honestly, it still feels strange referring to Kite as a female now. He, I mean SHE, still talks and acts like the former HER, but I still have to get myself used to referring to him as SHE, HER and whatnot. Am I confusing myself right now?
"Well, he went back to his hometown at once..." I answered plainly. "He was too excited to tell his Aunt Mito about the young Ging..."
"YOUNG GING?!" Spin and a few of Kite's team all had their attention on me. "So he decided to go back to the time period where Ging was still young?!"
"Yeah..." I nodded, crossing my arms, slouching my back on the couch. "He did not even tell me a bit about it yet..."
"Did he tell you what age was Ging-san when he went back to that certain time period?" Kite interrupted as he, I mean SHE entered the living room, sitting on the couch with the rest of them.
"Hmm..." I rubbed my chin, trying to remember.
"I'll prolly be going back to when Ging was only my age..." Gon stated with an excited and determined gleam in his eyes. "I have said this once before, but I have never felt Ging as my father, but more like a comrade, a friend... I would like to know how does it feel like to be with him by the time when we're still equals..."
"Prolly around 12 or something..." I was unsure. "He told me he would like to know how it feels like hanging out with Ging when they were still equals..."
"Hmmm..." Kite nodded. "Everything that happened in the past affects the future and the present. There's a possibility that one of Ging-san's influences and inspiration was actually Gon himself who have visited him from the future after finally getting to know him in the present time period."
"Eh?" Everyone gave Kite a puzzled look with their ears belching puffs of smoke.
"Huh? Did I confuse you?" She asked everyone before turning back to me. "Killua. You participated in the experiment. I am sure you are entirely aware about what I mean."
"We meet again..."
"The tables turned around. What goes up must come down. You can't leave me again anymore..."
"Yeah..." I tried to choke back that feeling again. I'm not supposed to spread negativity in here. I'm here to ease the torture that's going on in my mind. Not to spread it and infect others with it.
"I'm not sure if Gon was aware about it. But I'm sure, he would be more than honoured to realize it..." Kite smiled at me with assurance. "No matter how miserable our pasts were, they are what made us in the present and in the future. It's something still worth reminiscing..." She glanced to Koala and to Colt and to the rest of the ants who were once humans...
Really huh...? Worth reminiscing? I am not too sure about that. After discovering the whole damn truth...
"So, if Gon went to see the Younger Ging, where did you go?" Ikalgo asked me.
"Eh...?" I looked back at him with hesitations. I can't figure out what lie am I going to use this time to cover up the storm that's going on inside me. "I... went back to my family's past a couple of years earlier. There was something I wanted to find out about my family..." I rushed my words.
"Hmm... so you visited your house then a couple of years backwards..."
"HEY HEY HEY~ LUNCH'S READY GUYS! Time to eat Lunch ala Dinner! Hahahaha! Oh wait, that's a bad pun hahahahaha!" Stick hollered out from the kitchen calling out everyone to gather in the dining hall to eat.
"AAAAAAAAHHH!" I screamed in satisfacton before going back to gobbling horrendous amounts of food. "WHURT?" I asked with bits of noodles sticking out of my mouth.
I realized they were all staring at me.
"You sure are hungry huh? You forgot that Stick actually cooks horribly..." Spin said.
"HEEEY! You should be thankful I still cook meals for you guys, secially Dinner!"
"(Gulp)" I tried to swallow my mouthful before speaking again. "The food for employees at home was horrible and I've been eating that crap for 15 days. I had to recharge!" I ignored them and went back to my food. To hell with them, I'd eat as much as I want!
"Well, it's nothing different in here, except when Palm visits and cooks for us sometimes..." Meleoron retorted.
"HEY THAT WAS RUDE!" Stick chimed in.
"Oh yeah... I sure do miss Palm's cooking..." Ikalgo added. "When she visits she never failed to serve us with tasty, grand meals..."
"Why? Does Palm rarely visit here?" I asked.
"Well..." Ikalgo stopped talking as I noticed Meleoron and some of them, even Kite's team were glaring at him in which beads of sweat started to form on Ikalgo's forehead... "WELL! Umm, YEAH! SHE RARELY VISITS HERE! She was busy so...!"
I locked my eyes on Ikalgo who was still trembling and sweating profusely.
"Oh... ok." I went back to my food, ignoring the strange repressed commotions around me. They ARE hiding something.
"Say, Killua." Kite broke in. "Did Ging-san occupy one slot for the experiment?"
"No he didn't. 2 of my friends including Gon occupied the remaining 3 slots."
"Aren't you supposed to be back here around next month? It's supposed to be a 1 month goal to sustain you on that certain time period."
"An error occured so we were forced back to the current time period."
"What happened to the rest?"
"Just like me and Gon, they also made it succesfully back to the present. It happened that they experienced scarcity of Nen and was unable to hold us in for 15 days longer. Had we not been ejected immediately, only our bodies will be transmitted back and our souls and consience would wander around the oblivion, rendering us to a commatose state. We actually experienced it for a couple of hours before finally going back to reality..."
"It might have been something to do about how far into the past have you requested to go back to..." Kite suggested.
"Hmm, so far, Gon asked to go back more or less 25-27 years back in the past. I asked 20 more or less. And both Leorio and Kurapika for at least 6-7."
"Is there any side effects did you experience?"
"For me, I guess slight body pains, head aches and the likes. But its tolerable. I don't know about Gon though. Like I said he hurried back to his hometown... he looks perfectly fine to me."
"And how about you?" Spin asked. "Have you been home yet?" I noticed another strange gesticulations and reactions that Ikalgo and Meleoron and the rest have been manifesting. Ikalgo's teeth were chattering and he was still sweating profusely while Mon, Stick and the rest of Kite's team appear to be cautious of my answers.
THEY REALLY ARE HIDING SOMETHING FROM ME!
END OF CHAPTER 2
NOTE : This might be an unnoticed detail but I would just like to inform the rest of you guys anyway that Stick, that guy in Kite's exploration team with the afro loves to joke around specially puns and his last name is Dinner.
