Chapter nine. It's incredibly short. My sister left for California with my aunt today, and I totally forgot I was supposed to update. I'm sorry!
~~~Chapter Nine~~~
Watching them master Ten... It did not surprise me. At all.
I sat on the couch, watching and listening. Zushi was studying their bodies as they relaxed with ease.
Wing-san did not seem surprised. Maybe he was just hiding it.
Then he started explaining how if you practiced, you would be able to do Ten in your sleep. I do that occasionally.
I am staring at Killua's arms when Zushi starts whispering to me.
"They sure are amazing, huh, Shizuka-san?" he murmurs, giddy with excitement. I slowly nod, not really paying attention to him.
"Now, I will use hostile Nen against you!" Wing-san shouts, averting my attention. I blindly use Ten as the familiar dark purple Nen surrounds us, and becomes stronger. Killua and Gon are quite amazed, but for me, it is nothing new. This is just the beginning.
We are walking through Hisoka's Nen. It is a little impressive, I suppose, that Killua and Gon had mastered Ten quite quickly.
"Welcome to the 200's," Hisoka purrs. I look around while he and Gon talk about some challenge that I know nothing about.
Hisoka walks off, his back to us, but I know he is looking at me from the corner of his eye. Creepy.
We walk up to the reception desk and the lady instantly starts rambling about the 200's. None of us cares.
Gon clenches his fists.
"I have to find out what makes these people so different!"
And with that, the lady huffs and passes forward another form. I want to punch him. Is he an idiot?
I roll my eyes, and we fill out the forms. Behind us are 3... men, or something. I look at Killua, and he nods.
"Do you need something?" he asks.
"Not really," the one in the large wheelchair says. I move a little closer to Killua. Not because I am scared, but because I just really wanted to.
"We are just waiting in line to register for a fight."
Then they start cackling, and I smirk, knowing what the mean. Apparently Killua does too.
"Gon, these guys want to fight the same day you do," he says. Gon glances at them, then completes his form, saying that he's ready to go whenever. What an idiot, really!
We receive our room keys. Gon wanders off to his, and so does Killua.
"This is my room. You're just a little ways down the hall, right?" Killua asks while unlocking the door. I nod, holding up three fingers.
"Only 3 rooms down? That makes me feel a bit more comfortable I guess," he shrugs. That does not sound like him.
"Goodnight, then. See ya in the morning." He disappears into his room. I smile, and trot to mine. Little did I know my fantasy would be coming true quite soon.

Alright, that last line does not mean to be dirty, haha. This chapter is pretty terrible, I'm sorry. I just need to get into the HxH groove again, and everything will be back on track.
I really just want to skip to the water divination scene. I think I'll do that next chapter, if you'd like. I'll update tomorrow to make up for such a short and crummy chapter. Thank you!
