Chapter 16

Reunion

Nozomi shifted uncomfortably in her seat as she tried to fix her skirt, which she received as a present for her thirteenth birthday on the 30th of August. While doing so, she caught sight of her shortened life line on her palm, reminding her about the deal she made with Hisoka.

"Nozomi!"

The girl glanced over to the voice to see a handsome young man approaching. He wore a blue blazer with his black hair hanging down naturally and a bangdage wrapped across his forehead. Beside the man, was a pink hair teen whose eyes lit up instantly to the sight of the young girl.

"Oh! Master's here with the fortune teller girl. I believe her name is Neon Nostrade." Nozomi thought as she welcomed the two over to the table with a smile.

Before she could utter a single word, the teen slipped into the seat beside her and cupped her cheeks as the teen stared into her amber eyes.

"Wow! Your eyes are as pretty as those scarlet eyes I want father to buy for me." Neon enthusiastically stated.

"Thank you very much miss." Nozomi replied, trying not to be awkward, then turned to her master, "Father, I asked some people and they said that we still have some time before the objects of the auction begin to be shown."

Her master nodded and ordered a few drinks before questioning Neon about her fortune telling abilities.

"Woah! Cool! Can you do it for me too?" Her Master asked.

Neon agreed and handed him a piece of paper, telling him to write down his full name, date of birth, and blood type. The teen handed Nozomi a piece of paper, which the girl gladly accepted.

"Chrollo Lucilfer. Twenty six years old? You're a lot older than me and your name isn't very common." Said Neon as she read the paper that Nozomi's master filled out.

"My friends call me 'Boss.'" Chrollo responded

"Hahaha! That's no better!" Neon happily responded, "Next is yours... Nozomi Lucilfer. Thirteen years old and your blood type is AB."

"Yup." Nozomi chirped

Neon smiled and raised her pencil up in the air. "I'm starting."

A violet ghost with big lips took hold of the teen's hand and as if she was possessed, the girl was zoned out as she scribbled on the paper in a rapid pace. Once she finished, both Chrollo and Nozomi took their piece of paper and read it. Unfortunately for Nozomi, she was unable to read her fortune because she was distracted by the sight of her "father" crying.

"In these sentences, there's a passage on the souvenir of death. Do you believe in the existence of a world after death?" the man questioned

"Hm... No, not really." Neon answered and continued on explaining that he should not find comfort with spirits, but within himself. Durning the girl's explanation, Chrollo took Nozomi's paper to read later.

Returning to the conversation, Chrollo nodded as he started to walk beside the teen, "Evidently. That's probably true, but I do not have to worry about death yet."

He glanced over at the thirteen year old girl who was walking on the other side of Neon and her hand trapped in the teen's tight grip. He and Neon continued talking about life and death as they walked down the halls. Meanwhile, Nozomi listened to their conversation for some sort of sign.

"I... Believe in the existence of souls. That's why, for the one who left us, I want to do everything he would have like to do." Chrollo stated and Neon asked what he meant.

The man kept silent and within seconds, Neon started to fall to the ground. But before she met the floor, Nozomi caught her.

"It's beginning."

"Hahaha! You two..." A man in a classic japanese style robe laughed aloud as he sat on the floor of the windowless room, watching the green clad boy and silver hair boy arguing. "You're funny... But don't do anything stupid and stay quiet. I-"

The man cut his sentence short when black flames bursted in the center of the room. The two boys leapt back, while the man jumped up to his feet and withdrew his sword, swinging at the flames. The flames soon dispersed and revealed a short hooded figure who stopped the sword with a single crimson dagger.

"Well, it's nice to see you too, Nobunaga-san." The person sarcastically greeted.

Crimson liquid dripped off their bruised skin. Recognizing the person, Nobunaga relaxed and placed his sword back into its sheath before sitting down again.

"Did Boss come back with you..." He trailed off when the hooded person tiredly pushed off the hood, revealing their short dark hair and amber eyes. "Nozomi."

"Wha?!"

Nozomi's eyes widened to the familiar sound of the voice behind her. Cautiously, she slowly turned around to see the very two people who she did not want to see her with the Ryodan. Killua and Gon.

"Nobunaga-san... Why are they here?" Nozomi questioned, completely forgetting about her exhaustion and lack of blood.

"I want the Boss to test them and make them join the Ryodan. So, did he come with you?"

"No, he sent me back after holding back Zeno and Silva Zoldyck long enough for him to deal with them. Also, this is for you." The girl pulled out a note from her hoodie pocket and handed it to the man. "Apparently in my fortune, I am a traitor... Or that's what father said."

Nobunaga was confused by her statement, but he read it anyway and his confusion transformed to anger.

"You... Are you one the chain-guy's side?" He mostly demanded than asked.

"I don't know who this 'chain-guy' is, but I guess the only way you can find out if I'm telling the truth or not is when Pakunoda returns." Nozomi answered, "For now, I need rest."

Nobunaga pointed at the other side of the room to where to two boys were sitting before, telling her to stay there. With a sigh, the girl followed his instructions and slumped down on the ground, releasing an inaudible grunt when she moved her joints. Hesitantly, the two boys sat down on either side of her.

"Is that really you, Nozomi?" Gon whispered and the girl faintly bobbed her head.

"Why did you leave us at the Heaven arena and why are you here with the Ryodan?" Killua angrily asked

Nozomi glanced up at Killua to lock eyes with his angered yet concerned gaze. Her lips slightly parted for a moment but her mouth sealed shut and broke the gaze. Black dots slowly invaded her vision and she felt her body growing numb.

"...Sorry..."

With that apology, Nozomi passed out. Meanwhile, the boys looked back at each other with determination in their eyes. They both got up to their feet and released their Nen.

"Are you serious? You'll only find death!" Nobunaga angrily stated, "Neither of you are skilled enough to stop my sword."

The two boys ignored him and kicked through the walls. Seeing that the way that Gon went was further away from the stairs, Nobunaga chased after him, leaving the unconcious girl alone in the room.

After waiting a few minutes, Killua quietly returned to the room and carefully picked the limp girl off the ground. At last, he was able to get a better look at his once-missing friend. Her skin was pale and eyes were closed shut, but even in her sleep she seemed tormented. The boy freed one of his hands to brush Nozomi's bangs out of her face. However, once he did that, he revealed the spider tattoo on her forehead.

"You really are a idiot." He muttered under his breath, but he gently pressed his lips on her tattooed forehead. Once parting, he noticed that Nozomi's expression seemed to have softened. He stared at her pink lips for a moment before lower his head and met his lips with hers.

"Killua! Are you here?" Gon abruptly shouted from the outside.

His voice caused Killua to snap back into reality. A large blush made it's way up to Killua's cheeks, but he ignored it and quickly walked out of the room with Nozomi still held in his arms.

I'm going to end it here. I hope you all enjoy this chapter as well and please continue reading. Also please review. :)
