Sakurai: Hello again my lovely readers!

Hime: Hey! Are you guys ready for a kick ass chapter?

Gon: I don't know about you, but I know I definitely am!

Killua: Everyone around here is so excited; it kind of makes me excited too!

Sakurai: Really?

Killua: Nope, I lied. That was a totally lame opening.

Sakurai: IT WAS NOT! At least we're enthusiastic about things, unlike you!

Killua: It's fine to be enthusiastic about things, but eventually it can get freaky.

Sakurai: SHUT UP! *pulls out chainsaw* hehehe…

Gon: First it was a machine gun, then a scythe, and now a chainsaw?

Killua: Where the hell do you keep getting these from?

Hime: Trust me, you don't want to know…

Killua: …

Gon: Sakurai does not own HxH or any of the characters! Enjoy the chapter!

Killua's PoV

I woke up late this morning and met Gon and Hime for some breakfast in the Hotel Café. We discussed the day ahead while munching on our food. Unfortunately, we had no idea how we were going to get Hime's memory back.

We had no leads, no idea what to do, and no clue about where to start looking.

"How about we put up posters?" Gon suggested, taking a bite out of his muffin. "With Hime's picture on it saying something like: 'do you know me?' or 'have you met me before?'"

"… Gon, people can mistake that that for something else pretty easily."

"Yeah," Hime agreed." And we don't know exactly who I am yet, so I'd rather not be going around publicizing the fact that I have no idea who I am. If you don't mind that is."

"Sure, no problem." He nodded.

"Why don't we go back to the place we first met?" I suggested. "Maybe you live around there or knew someone who does."

They both agreed so we finished what we were eating and left the hotel and started walking on the direction of the dirty alley.

When we arrived, Gon asked Hime if she remembered anything, but she shook her head 'no.'

"Ugh." She complained. "I wish this was easier!"

"What did you expect?" I asked. "That you would come here and remember everything right away? Problem solved?"

"Kind of…"

"It's going to take a little more time than that." I told her. "We will get your memory back though."

She nodded and started looking around the alley. She winced when she saw the dent in the wall her body made when I kicked her. "Oww…" She mumbled.

"Maybe we should walk around this area and see if we can find something." Gon suggested, so we left the alley.

We walked up and down the streets and Gon frequently asked Hime if she remembered anything, but she kept shaking her head sadly. Eventually he gave up asking.

We continued walking through the streets until we came to a small lake with benches around it. We plopped down on one of them and I pulled out a candy bar I had saved in my pocket for a rainy day. It works the same for days when you are searching for people's memory, I decided, taking a big bite.

I turned to Gon, wiping chocolate off my face. "We're getting nowhere." I stated.

"Way to point out the obvious." Hime mumbled grumpily.

With one last glace at the lake, we stood up and started on our search again. As we started to walk away, I just barely heard someone say, "Found her!"

Of course, I had to turn around. I saw two men standing a bit farther away talking to each other and glancing at Hime every now and again.

I nudged Gon, he turned and saw the men, and then he nudged Hime. The two men started walking slowly towards us just as Hime turned around. As soon as she saw them, her eyes opened wide with fear.

"Umm… I think we should go. Now." She said backing away very slowly.

"Why?" Gon asked. "They might know you."

"That's what I'm afraid of…" She mumbled.

"No, Gon, I think Hime's right." I said. "Check out their auras."

As he did I saw his face turn serious. "Yikes."

Hime began backing more quickly and the two men started speeding towards us.

"RUN!" I yelled and we all took off in different directions. Gon was gone in a flash and with a quick jump, I was over the lake and on my way.

A small scream stopped me in my tracks. 'Oh no!' I said to myself. 'They're not going after us, obviously. They're going after Hime.'

I quickly reversed my direction and jumped the lake again. I scanned the area and saw Hime struggling with the two men.

"Shut up." The tall dark-haired one demanded, holding Hime's arms behind her back. "Stop yelling."

"Nobu! Get her to stop!" The shorter lighter-haired one said to his friend.

Hime meanwhile, never stopped screaming. I stood still for a moment, knowing that I should help, but also curious of what Hime would do.

"Tadao, cover her mouth!" Nobu yelled at the short man.

Tadao attempted putting his hand over Hime's mouth, but he didn't succeed because she bit it.

Then she kicked Nobu in the shin and he immediately released his grip on her. She scrambled to run away, but before she got far, Nobu landed a landed a kick on her stomach and she fell to the ground.

I jumped into acting, running in, punching those guys so hard they flew past the trees, and helping Hime off her fee. (A little child stood by with his mouth wide open. For the next few days, he followed me around telling people that I was actually superman.)

"You okay?" I asked, genuinely concerned after I saw the look on her face as she clutched her stomach.

"My poor stomach has definitely seen better days." She joked, wincing as she spoke. "First you, then those two weirdos. Come on! Who else wants to take a kick? Its free!"

I chuckled, smiling. "Why don't we go back to the hotel? I can call Gon and see where he went off to."

"Okay." She agreed and we began the slow walk back. On the way, I called Gon. He apologized over and over again to Hime for running away like he did.

Hime's PoV

When I got back to my hotel room, there was a woman sitting on my bed.

I wasn't worried though, because she had a warm smile and a friendly aura.

"Hi!" She said. "I heard about you from Leorio. I'm Makita, his fiancé. Of course, I would be his wife by now, if my parents hadn't been so slow about getting a plane here…"

"Nice to meet you." I said, really meaning it. This woman was cheery and had a personality that, even if she was the only one talking, made the conversation interesting and pleasant.

She continued sitting on my bed smiling. "Umm… anything I can help you with?"

"Oh!" She exclaimed, hopping up from the bed. "I almost forgot! I have something for you!"

Almost forgot? Why else would you be in my room?

She walked around the bed and picked up b about 4 large shopping bags. "These are for you!" She said, handing the bags to me. I looked inside and saw a bunch of clothes.

I looked up at her confused. "These are some old clothes of mine that don't fit anymore. I thought you could use them because all you have are those jeans, your t-shirt, and that jacket.

I looked down at my clothes and just noticed how dirty they were. "Thank you." I said looking up at her, smiling.

"I hope you enjoy them!" She exclaimed giving me a big hug. Then she let go and her face lit up. "OOhhh! I have an idea!" she said.

"I'm gonna give you a makeover! She said, jumping up and down with excitement.

"Uhh… but, I , umm…"

"No buts! You get in the bath, and hurry up! As soon as you're done… IT'S MAKEOVER TIME!"

She pushed me towards the bathroom and closed the door behind me once I was inside. I turned the water on as hot as it would go and, as soon as it finished filling, slipped my clothes off and got in.

The hot steamy water felt good on my still-hurting stomach and I started to relax, letting the bath soothe some of my stress. It was s if all my troubles were washing away with the layers of dirt. In other words, it was a really good bath.

While I was relaxing, I heard Makita talking on the phone in the other room.

"Ayane, it's me. I have something I need your help with…"

"Mmhmm…"

"Yeah…"

"Yup. It's a makeover!"

"I'll text you the address. Okay, see you soon!"

I closed my eyes and tilted my head back. 'So she's going to give me a makeover.' I thought to myself. 'This ought to be interesting.'

Sakurai: okay! Its done!

Hime: I'm getting a makeover!

Makita: I am going to make you so pretty!

Sakurai: How are you going to do her hair?

Makita: I don't know. What shoes do you think match this purse the best.

Hime: Ohh… this belt matches this purse, but this belt matches these shoes.

Sakurai: Such a hard decision

Gon: Hey, Killua. What are those three talking about?

Killua: I don't know. Some girl stuff. Hey, did you catch that game yesterday?

Gon: Yeah. Did you see that amazing pass?

Killua: Yeah. That was awesome!

Hime: Hey, Sakurai. What are those two talking about?

Sakurai: I don't know. Some guy stuff.
