Whew.


I had returned to my room after Killua's match. There wasn't much for us to do and Killua didn't really feel like practising Ren, so we just called it a night. Once I got to my room and pulled my dress tabard over my head and threw it onto my bed then closed the door behind me with my foot. I wasn't going to give up practising. I stood in the middle of my room and closed my eyes concentrating. I took a deep breath and visualised the energy in my body building. I snapped open my eyes once I felt I had visualised it enough.
"Ren!" I shouted. I felt a burst of air come up from below me, I kept concentrating for as long as I could before I had to shroud and stop. I took a deep breath and did it again and again for I don't know how long.

I stopped once there was no light coming into my room and doubled over, putting my hands on my knees and breathed heavily, swallowing the lump in my throat every so often. Once I felt like I could stand without feeling light headed or dizzy, I began making my way to the light switch and flicked it on.
"You'll strain something if you keep doing that." I heard a voice say from behind me and turned my head over my shoulder slowly. I gasped and slammed my back against the wall breathing heavily as I stared at the person wide eyed. I pressed my head against the wall and began sliding my way towards my door until I felt something stop me by pushing my arms against the wall.
"No, don't do that." The person said to me. I nodded my head slowly as the force let go of my arms. I stayed close to the wall. I swallowed the lump in my throat trying to gather my voice.
"I-I thought y-you were dead. E-Everyone t-thought you were d-dead!" I struggled to get out to him. The person looked at me with an eyebrow raised before clicking his fingers.
"Oh, that well yeah. It's amazing what you can pull off by putting your hoodie onto someone who looks just that little bit similar to you." Kai said to me as he moved around my room, picking up odd little bits and staring at them before tossing them into the air and caging them once more, only to put the items back down again. I took a closer look at his entire; he wore a black and white checked shirt, the same brown cargos with all the pockets as before and the same black trainers. Of course, they said the body wasn't recognisable which is how Kai probably pulled it off.

I removed myself from the wall; I couldn't help but wonder what it was he exactly wanted.
"I-I'm not afraid of you." I said to him as he looked over and chuckled to himself.
"Your tone of voice says otherwise. Besides, I'm not here to kill you; the magician Hisoka will skin me alive if I even tried." Kai said shrugging his shoulders slightly in dismissal. I looked at him questionably as he continued to wonder around my room. He seemed a lot different than he was months ago; almost a lot calmer. Kai noticed my starring and looked over with an eyebrow raised slightly.
"What?" He asked as I shook my head quickly.
"Why….W-why would Hisoka kill you for killing me?" I asked him as he went back into thought once more, tapping the side of his head with the palm of his hand hard.
"Something about you and your brother interesting him. As such I'm not allowed to touch you as of two months ago. The creepy magician saved your arse." Kai said as he picked up the phone by my bed and tossed it into the air a couple of times before putting it back down. He didn't have his weapons with him; I dread to think where they were. He noticed my starring again and looked behind him where his weapons would usually be.
"Oh, yes, my daggers. The magician took them off me for the time being. Said something about my head not being right and until he gets better I wasn't allowed them for my own safety. I don't see the problem personally. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers." He dismissed as he wondered over to the door of my room.

I quickly moved away from him, jumping back and keeping my distance. He grabbed the handle tightly, before looking over to me. I felt my body stiffen as he looked over. I hadn't realised his fringe had gotten longer, it now covered some of his eyes, whilst the pony tail that used to be there was now gone. His hair was short and spiked at the back instead now.
"Touching that you and your friends were the only people who attended the ceremony of "me". But I wouldn't keep going to people's funerals who you don't know well, people may start thinking you have a thing for graves." Kai said to me simply as he opened the door and walked out, as if nothing happened what so ever; or as if it didn't look like he jumped off a building about two months ago. He closed the door behind him softly. Kai was a lot different from the person who I had fought two months ago and not even remotely close to the person who was at the Hunter Exam. My knees gave way, making me hit the floor with my hands on the floor. I breathed heavily, I didn't know if I should be thankful to the magician or afraid of him even more. What worried me more was how did Kai even get in without me noticing? Of course, he didn't have Nen; there was probably no way I'd be able to feel him about at all.

I stayed on my hands and knees for about ten minutes before I felt strong enough to stand up. I put my hand onto the wall as I stayed hunched over. There were a lot of questions running through my mind and most of all none of them made sense. I quickly jogged over to the door and ripped it open. Exiting quickly I shut the door behind me and jogged over to Gon's room. I knocked loudly at the door. The door opened revealing a soggy haired Gon in his shorts and vest top; I could only assume he had a shower recently as his hair was slightly flat and all over the place instead of standing up on end.
"Kai's alive!" I said to him, not giving him a chance to answer. Gon furrowed his brows slightly and thought to himself before exiting the room and closing the door behind him.
"We should tell Killua, he'll know what to do." Gon suggested as I nodded my head and followed Gon to Killua's room.

When we reached Killua's room we both knocked on the door loudly. Killua answered in a short time span than Gon; he's hair was also damp and covered his eyes more than usual. He also wore just his jeans and vest top as well.
"Is everything okay?" He asked us before I spoke.
"Kai's alive!" I said to him quickly. Killua raised an eyebrow slightly and moved over allowing us into his room. His room looked identical to mine and Gon's; I wasn't too sure why I was expecting it to look different. We all sat in a circle on the floor, all of us cross legged. I couldn't help but fidget slightly, fiddling about with the sleeves of my shirt.
"How do you know? Not many people come back after jumping off the two hundredth floor." Killua asked as I looked at the two seriously.
"I saw him. He said he couldn't kill me because Hisoka would kill him. He said Hisoka has an interest in me and my big brother." I said to them, furrowing my brows. Gon and Killua looked at each other slightly before looking back at me.
"I think it might be best if we stick together tonight." Gon suggested as Killua nodded his head.
"If Kai shows up again we'll have more chance three to one instead of one on one." Killua said, holding up three fingers and then bring two of them down to show one. I nodded my head, thinking to myself. I jumped slightly when I remembered something else, he's behaviour.
"He…wasn't exactly himself. His attitude was a lot different from the day we fought and from the Hunter Exam." I said to him as Gon furrowed his brows slightly thinking to himself.
"Really? That's not good." Gon said, thinking to himself. Killua leaned back onto his hands as he closed his eyes.
"Thinking about it now won't get us anywhere. Kai's not stable up here and we all know that." Killua said, tapping on his head slightly with his finger. He opened his eyes and looked at me and Gon with a cat like stare.
"We'll just stay in one room tonight. If Hisoka is threatening to kill him because he's trying to kill you then he probably won't try. But to be on safe side; after all you're still trying to catch up with me and Gon." Killua said, his grin turning into a cat like smirk. I puffed out my cheeks at him and glared at him before looking away and glaring at his wall.
"No need to remind me." I muttered, hearing him laugh slightly at my actions to his teasing.
"So whose room are we staying in tonight?" Gon asked us as the two of us looked back at him. I thought to myself and watched my lap. Once I thought of an answer I looked back at the two boys.
"Well, we always train in your room so that leaves mine and Killua's." I said to Gon with a small smile. The three of us began debating rather or not we should stay in Killua's room or mine, and at some points even Gon's as we were used to being in there for most days.

In the end we ended up staying in Killua's room, much to his discontent on having to share his room with the two of us. I had retrieved a spare change of clothes from my room and locked the door, that won't someone breaking it down but it became a force of habit. We had taken off the bed sheets from Killua's bed and laid them out onto the floor. With that we quickly went to sleep, although I think we all slept lightly just to be on the safe side with Kai.

I woke up the next day. The three of us were all on our backs with our arms spread out. My head was lying on top of Gon's arm; Gon's head was lying on top of mine and Killua's arm whilst Killua's head was lying on top of Gon's arm. I carefully slid my arm out from underneath Gon's head and stretched my arms above my head, yawning loudly. I stood up quietly and went over to the chair where my extra set of clothes was just tossed onto. Picking them up I quietly made my way to the bathroom. Locking the door behind me I quickly stripped and jumped into the shower to wake myself up. I only took five minutes. Once done I dried off and got changed into my clean clothes then exited the bathroom. Gon and Killua had woken up and were picking up the sheets from the floor. I walked over and dumped my worn clothes onto the chair, then went to help Gon and Killua put the sheets back onto the bed.

We spent the day until Gon's match with Sadaso practising Ren. I had gotten a lot better, but it was still unstable; but had difficulty trying to do Gyo. We followed Gon to the arena and left him there. Me and Killua went to take our seats in the stands so we could watch the fight. Killua didn't seem all that interested in it, but I wanted to know if he would show; he was so determined to fight Gon.
"Today's match is Gon versus Sadaso! Will he make up for being a no show yesterday?!" Cocco the announcer shouted as the crowd went back to cheering. Gon appeared on the arena; however Sadaso once again didn't show. I furrowed my brows slightly as I leaned forward, fiddling with the hem of my dress tabard.
"He was so determined to fight Gon, why wouldn't he show up?" I muttered to Killua who looked at me through the corner of his eyes and shrugged. I sighed slightly as we waited for the ten minute time limit to finish.
"Time has run out for Sadaso. Gon wins by default!" The referee shouted just like yesterday's match; making everyone in the stands shout angrily. I would be angry too if I spent money on tickets for a fight that didn't happen; but I didn't one privilege of being a two hundreds fighter I guess.
"What? Again?"
"What is Sadaso doing?" People from the stands shouted as I furrowed my brows. What was Sadaso doing indeed?

We wondered back to Gon's room. Gon wasn't happy about Sadaso passing up his match like he had done yesterday with Killua's.
"Maybe he just up and left." I suggested to Gon as we stood in a circle in his room. Gon sighed slightly and furrowed his brows, not happy with the answer.
"But he wanted to fight me badly so I don't understand why he would leave." Gon said as I nodded my head slightly, agreeing with him. We couldn't think of an answer, and Killua said he couldn't feel his presence anymore in the building. When I concentrated to try and find it, I noticed that Killua was right.

We spent the next few days at Wing's house going from practising to fight, to listening to explanations, to practising Ren and Ten. In our fights it was Gon versus Killua with me fighting against Zushi; although I wouldn't exactly call it fighting, I was just dodging most of his attacks half the time or blocking them, I couldn't find it in me to try and punch him unless I needed to, which was the problem my brother had while training me. We were allowed to use Ten while fighting, and Ren if we were able to. I had gotten a lot better at Ren and was able to keep it more stable now, but I was still fair enough compared to Gon and Killua; I was no where near being about use Gyo and I didn't have much time left. I felt angry with myself, I tried everyday and I was still behind; It actually hurt knowing I couldn't keep up with the two boys no mater how hard I tried; I wondered if it was even worth my trying.

Soon it was June the fourth. We all had signed up for a match today. I felt like I had gotten a grip with Ren over the past few days, and if anything I didn't want to fall behind the two boys as Killua so kindly pointed out to me a few nights ago. Although, I had to beg Wing the day before to let me sign up, I even showed him my Ren to prove that I had gotten the hang of it now and wanted to use it in a match. We stood in front of Wing; I was next to Gon and Killua while Zushi was just slightly behind us. Since we spent out days training at Wing's I hadn't worn my dress tabard and only had my training clothes on. Gon and Killua had their jackets and jumpers on today though.
"Okay, Gon is fighting Gido today. Killua will be facing Reihlvelt. Mishka will be fighting Kitty. Are you feeling all right?" Wing asked us as we smiled widely up to him.
"Yes." We three of us said, nodding our heads at him. Wing places his hands behind his back as he looked over the three of us.
"Gon, this will be your second match with Gido. So you shouldn't require much advice. Do you have a plan?" Wing asked him as he pushed up his glasses and closed his eyes, keeping one hand behind his back.
"Uh-huh. Um, Wing, actually… I'm planning on using this." Gon said as he held his hands out as if he was holding his fishing rod in front of him, a determined smile on his face.
"I see…" Wing said smiling widely at him. Wing looked at me next, a smile on his face.
"Mishka, this is your second match against Kitty. Do you have a plan?" Wing asked as he placed his hand behind his back. I fidgeted on the spot slightly and fiddled with the sleeves of my shirt.
"I was going to try and tire her out by avoiding her attacks." I said to him smiling apologetically with my eyebrows furrowed. I heard him sigh slightly before nodding his head.
"Okay. Killua, this is your first time facing Reihlvelt. Do you have a plan?" Wing asked him. Killua nodded his head and placed a finger to his lips.
"It's a secret." He said simply, making Wing nod his head understanding that he wasn't going to get much out of Killua.

Me and Killua sat in the stands for Gon's match against Gido. Killua sat with his arms lazily over his knees and hands pointing to the floor with I had to stand up, as everyone else decided they were going to stand up blocking my view. I stood on the chair, I was lucky I was quite light.
"Okay, today is the long-awaited grudge match… Gido versus Gon. In their previous encounter, Gon ended up in hospital, but what will happen this time?" Cocco shouted through the microphone over the cheers of the people in the stadium. Me and Killua stayed quiet as we watched Gon closely. Gon raised his fishing rod into the air as Cocco began speaking once more.
"Today, he's carrying a fishing rod. How does he plan to use it? How does he intend to fight? Let's get this contest started!" Cocco shouted once more. The referee raised his hand into the air and then threw it towards the grounds after saying a few things that I couldn't quite hear because of all the shouting. Gon launched himself towards Gido was a lot of speed. I couldn't help but look at him wide eyed, Gon was very fast and it always amazed me how fast he could be.
"Wow! Gon's already taken off!" Cocco shouted. Gido began spinning straight away making Gon stop running towards him before he hit him.
"But Gido was also prepared, as he's using Tornado Top! If Gon charges in, he'll be in the same position as before!" Cocco shouted as I leaned forward a little to get a better look. Gido suddenly threw a lot of tops towards Gon, it looked like they were all aiming for him. I gasped slightly as they hit Gon who used his arm to block them. A big cloud of smoke rose from the air and quickly disappeared. Gon looked unharmed. I jumped in the air slightly cheering with a wide smile on my face.
"He stopped them!"
"Did you see that?"
"Wow…"
"Incredible! He stopped the tops in their tracks! He clearly isn't the same person as two months ago!" Cocco shouted as the crowd continued to change between cheering and mutterings. Killua remained to stay quiet and seated as I stood on the seat. Once I saw other people beginning to sit down I hopped off the seat and sat down myself, putting my hands onto my knees as I leaned forward to watch the match; a wide smile on my face.

Gido continued spinning in the same spot as before. Gon put down the rod towards the ground and swung it a few times, before lifting it up once more. From what I could tell on the big screen, it looked like he was saying something and glared at Gido while saying it.
"Well, what technique will Gon use?" Cocco shouted as everyone remained quiet to watch what Gon would do. Gon stepped forward, creating dust as his foot landed and swung his rod forward, sending the end with the lure towards Gido.
"There it goes! Straight for Gido!" Cocco shouted once more. Gon's attack went straight past Gido and landed on the floor. I looked at him with furrowed brows. I could only hope that that was part of his attack.
"Oh, his attack missed!" Cocco shouted as Gon flicked the rod slightly. I watched carefully as Gon began pulling back the rod, sending Gido into the air with the arena slab. I watched in amazement and wide eyed, Gon was strong enough to bring up pavement slabs?!
"Unbelievable… Gon pulled up the floor, with Gido on it!" Cocco shouted as Gido landed on the floor hard with the pavement slab behind him creating dust all around him. Gon moved quickly in front of Gido and pulled back his arm. Tension filled the air as we watched Gon slam his fist into the ground, breaking Gido's leg.
"G-Gon has broken Gido's prosthetic leg. Gido can no longer continue to fight." Cocco shouted.

I watched on the big screen as Gon spoke to him.
"He looks so angry… it's…really different to see." I said to Killua, amazed that Gon could actually get that angry. His fist was shaking and dripping with blood as he glared down at Gido who fell backwards onto the floor. The referee pointed his hand at Gon, who dropped his arms by his side again.
"Our winner is Gon!" The referee shouted as the crowd began cheering. I didn't know if I should cheer or not; Gon won, but he was so angry it was unreal. It was actually a little bit intimidating if I was honest.
"Gon was able to avenge his initial loss! His record in the two hundreds is now two to one!" Cocco shouted as Gon began walking away. Killua smiled down to his friend and stood up. I watched him closely as he smiled widely at me.
"It's my turn now." He said simply as I smiled back and nodded my head, standing up myself so that I could go watch his match. After Killua's match; it would be mine with Kitty again.

Killua left the stands to head down to his match. It wasn't long until Gon came up and took his place. He sat down next to me; I smiled widely at him as he smiled back slightly.
"Are you okay? You looked really angry." I asked him as Gon nodded his head, keeping the smile on his face.
"I'm okay. I just got angry because of what he did to Zushi. I'm fine now." Gon said smiling widely making me nod my head back at him quickly with a wide smile on my face. As long as he was okay than that was good. We looked down towards the stadium as Killua stood at one end with Reihlvelt standing at the other. So that was the guy in the wheelchairs name, Reihlvelt. That was a really weird name; almost as if he was from an entirely different country…well okay I knew us three were from different countries as Gon was from Whale island, I was from the Lukso Province in the Azian Continent and Killua was from the Republic of Padokea, but our names weren't as strange as Reihlvelt. He must have come from very fair away.
"All right, up next is our main event… Killua versus Reihlvelt!" Cocco shouted as the crowd went back to its cheering.
"Because Sadaso forfeited the previous match, this will technically be Killua's debut two hundreds match! What will his strategy be?" Cocco shouted as the two boys stood…or in Reihlvelt's case sat, in front of each other. Me and Gon watched quietly with wide smiled as people cheered. This was actually going to be my first time seeing Killua fight probably, not through training or just chopping people.

The referee placed his hand down and began saying something, then he rose his hand into the air, indicating for the fight to begin. Killua suddenly jumped into the air making me watch him in awe and wide eyed.
"No way that's so cool!" I said in amazement as Gon nodded his head, watching as well. He spun in the air and came down behind Reihlvelt about to jab him in the neck until Reihlvelt suddenly sped out of the way.
"Wow, he's dashed out of harm's way! He uses the propulsion created by releasing his stored aura to control his wheelchair at will!" Cocco shouted as Reihlvelt stopped at one end of the arena once more. Killua landed on the ground on his feet with his knees bent and began to stand up slowly. Reihlvelt moved his hands behind him and pulled out two rods from the handles of his wheelchair, he then began moving his arms around quickly as the rods grew into what looked like red snakes. I heard the hisses and shivered slightly. Snakes, why snakes?
"There it is! His song of Defence… Reihlvelt protects himself with two whips moving at ridiculous speed, while he awaits his opportunity to strike." Cocco shouted as the whole arena went silent. Me and Gon both leaned forward with our hands on our knees as we watched Killua with wide smiles. He began walking forward towards Reihlvelt with his hands in his pockets, as if bored.

Killua stopped as Reihlvelt threw the wipes forward. I watched closely as Killua grabbed both whips, it looked like Reihlvelt was in shock. However, what came next was going to be a shock to Killua; blue lightening travelled up the whips and straight onto Killua, electrocuting him. It looked like Killua was in pain, I got up to shout to him to stop however Gon grabbed my wrist and pulled me back down with a smirk on his face. I furrowed my brows and kept quiet as I looked back at the match. Killua suddenly threw Reihlvelt into the air, making him let go of the whips as he flew high up into the stadium. Reihlvelt began falling back towards the ground. Killua stood with his arms out to catch him; when he did catch Reihlvelt, he electrocuted him. Reihlvelt screamed loud enough to bring down the whole building; I couldn't help but cover my ears as his scream filled the room. Killua dropped him onto the ground as the referee walked over. Killua began walking away after the referee bent down to check on Reihlvelt. The referee stood up and pointed his hand towards Killua.
"Reihlvelt has been knocked unconscious. Out winner is Killua!" The referee shouted as the whole room cheered loudly for Killua. Me and Gon sat with wide smiles on our faces. I stood up, patting down my training shorts as I looked at Gon.
"Wish me luck." I said smiling widely at him. Gon nodded his head and smiled widely giving me a thumb up.
"Good luck, Mishka." He said as I began making my way from the stands down to the arena.

I got down to the arena and made my way to one edge. Kitty made her way to one edge herself. She hadn't changed; her clothes were still the same; although she was wearing a bright pink jumper this time. She held a tennis racket in one hand with her other hand shoved into her pockets. I looked at her oddly and instantly concentrated a Ten shroud.
"Our next match is a grudge match! Last time these two fought Kitty was beaten by Mishka's push! Since then Kitty has managed to win her matches to make it to the two hundreds! This will be Kitty's two hundreds debut match! Will this happen this time?!" Cocco shouted as the referee stepped in between us. I watched Kitty closely, a determined look on my face.
"Points and KO system. No time limit. Begin!" The referee shouted as he raised his hand into the air. I stood with my feet apart as Kitty removed her hands from her jumper pockets, her fists clenched.
"Are you really Mishka? You're not wearing your dress today; you look like a little boy." She said to me making me glare at her and puff out my cheeks.
"I am Mishka and I'm a girl!" I shouted back at her as she smirked slightly and threw something into the air. I looked up in the air not sure what to expect. Whatever she threw into the air started coming down fast. Kitty swung her racket down hitting the object and sending it towards me.
"Ball barrage!" Kitty shouted sending copies of the thing she threw into the air towards me. I looked at the balls wide eyed and ducked down, bringing my head down with my hands.
"You won't escape them that easily." She said as I looked in front of me. Kitty wasn't there anymore and instead had hit the balls back towards me just making more copies of them. I felt about ten of them hit me square in the back making me grit my teeth together.
"That looked like it hurt! Will Mishka recover from that hit?!" I heard Cocco shout through the microphone as the crowd continued their cheer. I landed on my feet and turned around, grabbing on of the balls that had been aimed at my face.
"Mishka caught it! What could she be planning?" Cocco shouted as I kept a firm grip on the ball.

Kitty raised an eyebrow slightly and shrugged her shoulders, closing her eyes with a shrug.
"So you caught one; it's not like you'll know what to do with it." She said as I glared at her. She was right; I didn't have any idea what I was meant to do with it now. Kitty picked up another ball from the ground as it was now littered with them and bounced it on the ground a couple of times before tossing it into the air and hitting it with the racket once more.
"Rocket ball!" She shouted as the ball started coming towards me, looking like it was on fire. I panicked and held the ball out that was in my hand out towards it and grabbed my wrist with my free hand.
"Ren!" I shouted feeling a blast of air coming up from below me and closing my eyes tightly. I figured if it worked for Gon against Gido's spinning tops then it would work for me. Smoke filled around me as I continued feeling the air push up from above me. The smoke cleared; I could feel pressure on the ball I was holding and opened one eye to see the smoke clearing. The ball that Kitty had launched at me spun on the ball that I held out before dropping to the ground. I looked at Kitty who looked taken back.
"Y-you with stood that? That should have broken your wrist!" She shouted as the arena fell quiet.
"Mishka withstood Kitty's most powerful attack! What will happen now?!" Cocco shouted through the microphone. I bent down and picked up the other ball only to drop it immediately. It was white hot, as if it was set on fire.

I waved my hand in the air slightly as I stood up straight, keeping a hold of the other ball in my hand.
"It's…so hot." I said amazed as I heard Kitty growl to herself. I heard another ball bounce and looked over at Kitty who was bouncing two at the same time.
"Okay, so you've gotten stronger since our last match and able to use Ten and Ren. It's obvious you're hanging around and training with dirty little boys, that's no good for a young lady." She said as I glared at her. It ticked me off, she didn't have any right to judge my friends let alone call them names. I could feel my vision turn slightly red as Kitty continued to bounce the balls into the air.
"Let's make a deal. If I win you stop hanging around those filthy boys. If you win I'll stop commenting on it." She said as she threw the balls into the air. I quickly ran at her as she looked up and stopped in front of her throwing the ball in my hand full force towards her hand. It hit her wrist square on making her let go of her racket with a small yelp. She brought her hand down and held onto her wrist as I quickly ran at her again and stopped to her side, picking up one of the balls that laid on the ground. Kitty looked up to glare at me and instead widened her eyes as she looked at me next to her side.
"Your eyes, they have a red tinge…" She muttered as I took a small step, standing slightly behind her as she continued to watch me and threw the ball hard underarm up the back of her head. Kitty fell forward onto her knees as I walked forward in front of her, continuing to glare at her, my vision still slightly red.
"Don't ever bring my best friends into our fights again. It's rude and unfair." I said to her turning around to walk away.

I heard her body hit the floor and turned around slightly to see that she had fallen unconscious, from the ball hitting the back of her head or seeing my eyes I couldn't quite tell, I don't think it was from hitting her up the back of the head; I didn't throw the ball hard enough to do that, only hard enough to make her dizzy. For once I was really glad to get so mad that they began to turn red; I was able to use them to my advantage this time. The referee walked over to Kitty and knelt down before standing up and looking at the crowd.
"Kitty has been knocked unconscious. Our winner is Mishka!" The referee shouted as the crowd erupted into cheers again. I blinked a couple of times and furrowed my brows, wanting to get off the stage, I was never going to be able to get used to being cheered for. I began walking away as I heard shuffling. Turning around I saw Kitty sitting up. She looked over to me with a small glare on her face.
"How did you get your eyes to do that?! That's the devils work isn't it?!" She shouted over as I stuck a tongue out at her with a small smile and pulled down the bottom of my left eye slightly.
"My secret." I said to her and turned around to get off the stage quickly, and get away from all the cheering.

I got out the arena quickly and walked down the hall way, I couldn't help but lean forward and rub my back with my hands; those balls really hurt when being struck by them in the back. I met up with Gon and Killua.
"Hey, Mishka. Good work!" Gon said smiling widely at me as I smiled widely back at him and stood up straight, feeling my back twitch slightly. Killua smirked at me as he shoved his hands into his trouser pockets.
"Who would have thought you only needed to fight someone to be able to stabilize your Ren." Killua said as I smiled at him and laughed slightly to myself, nodding my head quickly. I was glad, that managed had managed to get myself to kick myself into enough gear to stabilize Ren. If I could do it once, I could do it again; now it was just trying to do Gyo.
"I figured if it worked for Gon blocking those spinning tops, then it'd work for me blocking that one ball." I said to him, smiling widely as I linked my fingers behind my back slightly. Killua turned his attention to Gon as he kept his hands in his pockets.
"You're up next. You're fighting him in six days?" Killua asked Gon, referring back to Reihlvelt. Gon nodded his head at Killua's question.
"Uh-huh, June the tenth." Gon said as I looked between the two.
"That's assuming he can get up after being electrocuted." I said as Killua nodded his head agreeing with my statement. I wasn't even too sure if Reihlvelt would be able to get up; probably not, it looked really painful.
"My win was only possible because of who I am… If you're hit by those electric whips, you'll be knocked out cold." Killua said as he linked his hands behind his head and walked past Gon, going back the way they came. Me and Gon watched his retreating back with a small smile on our face as we turned around to follow him.
"Yeah." Gon said simply as we followed Killua to wherever we were going.

I stood next to Gon so that he was in the middle of me and Killua as we walked. I continued to hold my hands behind my back lightly linking my fingers together as we walked. Killua opened one eye as he looked at Gon.
"What's your plan?" Killua asked him as he kept his hands behind his back. Gon had his arms by his side as he continued to walk with a wide smile on his face.
"Don't worry, I have a plan." Gon said, keeping the confident smile on his face. Killua opened his other eye as I looked at Gon wide eyed, wondering what his plan would be.
"Oh?" Killua said as we continued to walk down the hall way in silence to go do whatever it was we planned to do now that we finished out matches.

June the ninth came quickly. I was training everyday with Gon, Killua and Zushi as I tried to do Gyo. I nearly had it a couple of times however those times became too much and I had to stop. It was Killua's match; the day would have been his deadline if he didn't win his match earlier. Killua stood at one end of the stadium with his hand in his jean pocket.
"It appears that the damage Gido suffered in his match with Gon was so severe, he hasn't returned for today's fight." Cocco announced as everybody stayed quiet.
"Killua wins by default!" The referee shouted as the crowd remained quiet. Me and Gon couldn't help but smile widely at each other, that's what happens if you mad Gon mad I guess.

The next day came quickly, it was Gon's match. He was fighting Reihlvelt today. I was meant to be fighting Gido on the twelve, so in two days' time. I had been training every day, I had to learn Gyo before the twelve that was my assignment. I planned to train all day tomorrow and then go to Wing's to hopefully show him that I learnt it. I sat next to Killua as we looked down to Gon's match. Gon stood on one end of the arena as Reihlvelt stood on the other end.
"Hmm, he managed to recover." I muttered to Killua who nodded his head.
"After losing to Killua, Reihlvelt's record stands at five to three, leaving him no more chances." Cocco shouted through the microphone as the crowd continued to cheer for Gon; I assumed it was for Gon anyway, I couldn't see it being for Reihlvelt.
"As you know, after four loses, you're out of the contest. You'll have to start from the beginning." Cocco shouted as the crowd continued cheering. Reihlvelt took out his two red whips from his wheelchair handles and held them up as he readied himself for Gon's attack.
"He appears wary of Gon's speed, as he already has his whips out." Cocco shouted. Gon stretched himself out on the arena, getting ready to beat Reihlvelt. He didn't bring his fishing rod with him, and I didn't blame him. It looked like it was made out of metal; that would have been suicide if it got caught with one of the whips!
"Meanwhile, Gon isn't carrying his fishing rod… How does he plan to fight?" Cocco announced as the crowds cheering got quieter.

The referee threw up his arm beginning the match. Reihlvelt immediately began swinging around his whips, making it near impossible for Gon to get close to him to land any sort of attack.
"Oh, Reihlvelt opened with Song of Defence! Reihlvelt is attempting to end the fight now! Cocco shouted as the whips continued to hit the ground around him and spin in a circle as he flung his arms about to protect himself. Gon twisted his wrists around and then bent down to the ground. I raised an eyebrow in question as I watched what Gon was doing.
"Oh, is Gon squatting?" Cocco shouted through the microphone. Gon shouted and lifted the slab right out of the ground and held it above his head. I leant forward with wide eyes and my mouth slightly open in amazement as I held onto my dress tabard with my fingers tightly. I decided to put it on today.
"That's amazing!" I shouted as Killua smirked next to me. Gon really had gotten a lot stronger.
"Amazing… He pried a floor tile loose by himself! And then he threw it!" Cocco announced as Gon threw the slab straight for Reihlvelt. I watched in awe as he threw it, who would have thought he could do something like that?! Reihlvelt turned around quickly and managed to move out of the way using his aura like he did was Killua, just missing the slab as it landed on the ground heavily.
"Whoa, he barely managed to escape!" Cocco shouted as Gon took off after him. Gon suddenly vanished and reappeared in front of Reihlvelt with his arms and legs held out like a star fish as he stayed in the air in front of him.
"However, Gon has already anticipated him." Cocco shouted. Gon landed with his feet on the wheels and grabbed onto Reihlvelt's wrist. He pressed his weight down onto the wheels, stopping the wheelchair. We watched in silence as something Gon did made Reihlvelt scream in pain and let go of his whips. Gon picked up the end of the whips and flicked them, making the ends bite down onto Reihlvelt's clothing.
"Switch….on!"
"No stop!" Gon and Reihlvelt yelled at the same time. The yells only echoed through the arena though, nothing actually happened. I stared with wide eyes as I continued to lean forward. Gon hadn't electrocuted him.

Reihlvelt fell out from his wheelchair and landed on the ground with a thud. The referee held his hand out to Reihlvelt who laid on the ground, foaming at the mouth I think.
"Reihlvelt has fallen unconscious. Our winner is Gon!" The referee shouted as he pointed his hand to Gon. Gon waved to us in the crowd. I stood up and waved my arm in the air back to him with a wide smile. Killua gave Gon a thumb up as Gon returned it smiling widely and exiting the arena. Killua stood up after me as we started making our way from the stands to meet up with Gon.

Only one more day, that's all I had. I had to get it, I just had to, I was going to make sure to train hard tonight; in fact, I planned on training all night to try so that tomorrow when we went to see Wing, I could show him that I was also able to use Gyo.


Author note: I have no idea if the Lukso Province is in the Azian Continent as it's never explained; the Kuruta clan was only said to have resided in a distant and undeveloped part of the Lukso Province and that was it. So please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
