REPLIES TO COMMENTS
Jasmine : Because I have a life XD If you work on a graveyard shift in an office everyday for like 10 hours and you travel from work to home for 2 hours (which equates 4 hrs back and forth) the only thing you wanted to do is to lie on your bed and rest lol. And I dont have internet connection daily so I only get to update once in a week or once in 2 weeks when Im occupied with rest day over time scheds. I wrote all 29 Chapters of this fic when I did not have work yet and I wrote the sequel at work during breaktime. We cannot access non work related sites at work. I am not sure if youre trying to imply that I am bluffing about writing the whole story or the sequel (which doesnt make sense really) or youre just trying to tell me to hurry up. If only ff . net can show screenshots then Id gladly show you my folder.
Guest : Im sorry, I dont wanna disappoint you ( u_u)
SakuraPetal91 : Of course he refused... xD We all know how badass Killua is XDD
Milye6: We'll see if the ominous feeling you have right now is right xD

* snifles *
CHAPTER 29
- OBLIVION -
"Initiating Ejection. Subject #3 : Mr. Killua Zoldyck, Male, 15 yrs. old, 168 cm, 55 kg, type A, Kukkuroo Mountain - 21 years Forward."
"Activating. Portals Ready. Executing Ejection in 3, 2, 1..."
"I'd happily die doing the right thing..."
I finally stood upstraight from the stance and lowered my head, shutting my eyes tight. If I can't keep my promise I might as well die. And that is still fighting for what is right until my last moments.
"You set the condition. I will listen." He suggested.
What? Is he making it up to me right now despite everything that I told him awhile ago? Despite all of the acts of impudence I displayed? Despite all of the selfish decisions I made?
"I can't set a condition without having a single idea about your deal. I have nothing else to ask for. I already said it!"
"What are you here for. What brought you here. You can't hide your motives forever..."
I can't face him. My fists are trembling harder. I felt like I am forced to a corner and I have no escape. The weather sympathized with my emotions as it rained harder along with the faster beating of my wary heart.
"I refuse." I insisted with determination. "I can die refusing right now."
Along with the last words I uttered flashed an immense, vibrant light that was accompanied by a loud crashing sound resembling thunder and lightning. It lingered on, and intensified for some moments. Interrupted, we both looked up in the sky to realize that it came from the strange depression in between the clouds I noticed since a couple of hours ago.
Despite the stern look in his face was a hint of terror, seemingly perplexed about what is happening right now. I myself felt the same way as I looked back at him, giving me an accusive look that he was thinking I was the one who did it. He advanced and started to charge an aura shrouding himself with Ten.
"No..." I shook my head, gesticulating at him that it was not me.
In a split second, a huge spark of lightning crashed right into me, creating an impact that brought me oblivious to my current surrounding.
The last glimpse I had of dad was him staring at me, his eyes wide in horror while I felt like I was being dragged out of my own flesh...
I woke up.
My back's against the stone flooring, along the long seemingly endless, dark hallway.
I got up and realized I'm still here. Wearing the same clothes I was wearing the first day I arrived here.
I have no idea how did I get here after all of the things that have happened last night. How did I get to dress up, how did I end up lying unconscious in the hallways without being noticed.
Everything that happened last night, the past few days, the whole time travel thing, were they just a dream?
I heard footsteps. It was coming my way.
I waited for a few seconds to finally recognize who was approaching.
It was mom.
I bowed before her as she passed by me, heading to the door just a meter behind me.
"Good mor-, I mean Good day, Madame..." I uttered, unsure of the current time.
She was ignoring me as usual. She has never liked me as Illumi's 'babysitter' since then.
"I apologize for not wearing my prescribed..." I stopped talking the moment she completely entered the room, leaving it open. Oh yeah. Why would I even bother explaining? She's not even listening.
I followed her and peered through the open door to realize it was actually Illumi's room.
"Good morning." She spoke to Illumi who was sitting by his bed, doing nothing, staring at nowhere.
"You did not attend to your classes again."
He looked back at mom wordlessly. He was fiddling with his right thumb.
"(sigh) How many times shall I tell you?" Mom sat besides him and started to glide her fingers in between the strands of his short, black hair. "He's gone."
Who? Who's gone? I started to feel something strange is going in here.
I proceeded inside the room. By now, Mom must recognize me and stop me from interferring with their conversation.
"He was trying to kill you!" Mom continued talking.
What? Who is trying to kill him? That couldn't be...!
"Silva had to dispose of him for your own safety. Had he not do something about him, you could've been gone for good right now! And I can NEVER let that happen!"
Void of expressions, Illumi stared at the scar on his right thumb as mom pulled him closer to her, leaning his head to her shoulder. "Mom's here now. From now on, Mom will never take you out of her sight. Mom will always be there for you. Forgive my negligence, my son. I will never let anyone else get closer to you. Its just you, Dad and Silva now. You will train hard, be strong and become a model to all of your younger siblings..."
I... I DIED? Did Dad really get to kill me?! Is this why I was lying in the hallway, unnnoticed by everyone? AM I JUST A SOUL NOW?
Is mom trying to brainwash Illumi by all of those lies, telling him that I was planning to kill him all along?!
She continued combing his hair with her fingers while he remained motionless. "Don't feel bad about it anymore. One mistake is enough. This is why we don't trust people. This is why we must not have friends."
No... This is not happening! All of my efforts to make him feel better about himself. All of the things I told him, the things I did for him. They're all gone to waste!
"Are we good?" She finally let go of him. She stood up from the bed, followed by him. "Now..." Mom bent to his level. "You're attending your lessons okay?"
Mom held his hand as they walked out of the room.
"ILLUMI!" I screamed. I ran towards them, out of the room. "DON'T LISTEN TO HER!"
To my surprise, upon leaving the door, I realized I was not going anywhere.
Mom disappeared. I seemed to be warped to another room the moment I left the door.
In front of me I found Illumi. His back facing me.
"Illumi!" I walked towards him. "I'm sorry I left..." As I grabbed his shoulder my hand just passed through him. He started walking forward.
Indeed. I'm just a bodiless entity now. I feel shattered. Everything that I did. They're all in vain. I was never able to save him. I have put him down. I appeared to have fooled him into it. I am nothing more like him in the future now. A liar. A person who just put him further into suffering.
He finally stopped walking. He was facing a crib.
"From now on, there will be no one else. Mil, This is your Aniki. I'm the only one eligible to train and take care of you." He uttered.
I HAD TO STOP THIS. This is getting out of hand. As I tried to reach him once again despite knowing I will just fail, I stumbled upon a body lying down the floor. It was covered in blood, lifeless and mutilated. To the point it looks too disfigured to even recognize the face...
The baby in the crib giggled as Illumi lowered his bloody hands towards him... "She's gone now. I'll be the one taking care of you..."
My knees trembled in horror. I felt too weak to stand that my body started to collapse. I felt like I was falling forever until I finally reached the ground.
It's another room once again.
This time I found Dad and Gramps.
"So far we can finally conclude. He has a very dangerous and threatening mental state that can ruin the family and even himself if not taken good care of." Gramps spoke.
"Indeed. It's the best we can do for now. According to the facts given and the rest of the behaviour he manifested, we can't let him have emotions. At the moment we're doing good on setting him into conditions and situations that would gradually help him lose his emotions."
"It's just like a Tolerance Training only involving one's mental and emotional state. Pain and pleasure is like life and death. They coexist. If we can train him to be tolerant of pain, we can also train him to be tolerant of emotions. He seem to have a thing for absolute control for anything that is close to him or anything that interests him. He manifested such dangerous obsession despite at an early age. With emotions, that kind of obsession can turn him into defying us someday. He's going to be a huge threat. On the other hand, it's for his own good. Having such disturbing mental state would be worse in his part when associated with emotions. He would suffer further with it."
"The saddest part there is, we can't still make him an heir despite having succesfully disable his emotions from him, leaving only his pure, logical thinking. The only thing we can have him do is to train the possible next child to be the heir."
Why am I seeing all of these?! WHY DO I HAVE TO KNOW ALL OF THESE?!
I don't want to hear anything anymore...! I can't take this no longer!
I covered my ears tight as I quickly backed out, running to nowhere with my eyes shut. I don't care wherever I go. I have no idea where I am heading to. I just want this horror to end. I can't take this no longer! I don't want to see, I don't want to hear anymore!
The longer I ran, I felt like I'm starting to get used up. I realized I have no Nen. I am back to zero. If this is a work of Nen to mentally and emotionally torment me, then it's really working well. It's putting me to despair and I just want to die right now.
I staggered. I dragged myself towards the light...
I heared laughter. I hear happy noises as I came closer.
I'm finally out. I arrived at an entirely positive vibe. I looked around to see everyone with smiles on their faces.
I see Mom, Dad, Gramps, Great Gramps and some butlers around.
"Hahahahahaha!" I heard Gramps chuckle that caught my attention. "He looks a lot like you!"
"I know."
"We should come up with a name by now..." I realized that mom was carrying a baby with her and that was actually me.
"I have thought of one..." Dad replied.
"Killua..."
A voice broke in. It was Illumi. He apparently looked like he's around 12 or something. He approached mom and dad. "I suggest to name him Killua."
Dad and Gramps looked at each other before glancing back to Illumi.
"Coincidence?" Gramps grinned at Dad. "I think not?"
"I was actually thinking of giving him the same name. We think alike..." Dad addressed to Illumi.
"Who are we kidding?! He's your son after all!" Gramps retorted.
"Mm-hm..." Illumi nodded with a slight grin.
"It's a great name... Suits him very well." Mom lightly poke the nose of the baby she's carrying which was actually me...
"Can I hold him?" Illumi asked.
"Sure!" Mom carefully handed the baby over to Illumi. "Take good care of him okay?!"
"Of course..." He smugly assured, still with zero facial expressions.
"Illumi..." Dad called him out. Illumi looked back at Dad still carrying the baby in his arms.
"He is going to be your biggest responsibility. Your duty is him. And HE, is the PURPOSE for training you at the highest grounds... as you will be passing it onto him..." Dad then faced the rest of the people around. "I hereby declare that this newborn child will be officially the next heir of this family after me."
Gramps shook his head smirking. He appeared like he knew this all along! They all appeared like they knew something in mutual! Something nobody else knew!
"I can see his utmost potentials... I can feel it this time..." Mom spoke. "But isn't it too soon to conlude?"
"There's nothing more left to confirm." Dad stated with assurance and determination. "I am entirely certain about it. And nothing can change my decision."
Strangely, even Illumi seems like he has nothing to complain about and acknowledged everything even before it happened!
Everything has started to blur! Everyone started to disappear before my eyes like sand slowly being blown away by the wind grain by grain...!
And there was Illumi, carrying the child as the last one to disappear...
"We meet again..." He spoke as he slowly advanced towards me. His stare of despair piercing right through my eyes, towards my soul...!
I can't move... That the same feeling...
"The tables turned around. What goes up must come down. You can't leave me again anymore..."
