Joker X Love X Queen
Chapter 13
"I can't believe you got distracted by Fantasy shore…again" Scarlet exclaim in disbelief, arms cross tightly in her chest while talking to Bisky who's laughing sheepishly in her side, Killua is following behind with an amuse expression
"You know that's the only part of this island that weakens me…spare the old woman will you" Bisky argue like spoiled child
"That isn't an excuse for my martial arts sensei"
"now now…think what I felt when I saw Netero-san there last time"
"But he's an old pervert, he's always been"
Killua blink on their conversation, can't help but to perk up his curiosity…again his question lingers back, just who the hell is she?
"Ne" Killua wasn't able to resist, so he ask. Bisky and Scarlet's bickering halted and glance over Killua
"Who are you anyway and how come you know Bisky, Netero-san and the others" he simply ask with his sharp eyes, changing the light mood to heavy
Scarlet is silent while Bisky turn serious, Bisky look over Scarlet and she return the look before approaching Killua, she gave a sad smile and link her arms around Killua's.
"Come on, let's walk" she pull Killua and stroll out the path, giving a Bisky a nod saying 'wait for us'
Bisky smile and jump on one of the tree to wait for them
Scarlet led Killua on a small looking river, glowing in the fine light while the small fishes swim at peace. They were standing just beside it staring at the blank space, waiting for each other to speak
Killua was silent for the whole moment, trying to read any possible gesture Scarlet can make, but he found none. This is one few of the awkward moments he had in his life, just like talking to his Oyaji for the first time.
"…" Killua watch in the corner of his eyes, Scarlet open her mouth but she halted then-
"Shit…I forgot what I was about to say" – BAM! Killua fell down anime style, then stood up with a large vein pop on the back of his head
"WHAT ARE YOU, AN IDIOT?" Killua shouted at Scarlet who gave out a loud laugh-
"Pfft ahahaha sorry sorry, I was kidding…I'm just trying to lighten up the mood, it feels so awkward…sorry sorry"
Killua's vein pop and irritation still burn in his head
Then Scarlet grew serious and turn her head away to Killua, staring straight ahead with very sad smile
"I'm sorry…I just don't know how to tell you my story, without looking so pathetic" she admitted in a sincere tone, she look back at Killua with a force smile that he sometimes see's Gon make when he's trying to act strong in front of him when he's on his way to breaking down
"I-…."Scarlet bit her lower lip, Killua knows she's hesitating, but in one deep breath her eyes flash in determination "I was a doctor…just an ordinary young doctor with a prodigy nen…I graduated as medical genius, an expert Surgeon" she inform in a professional tone "My life is pretty much normal until I met …" Killua notice Scarlet left eye twitch in a displeasure memory
"Ging Freecs"
Flashback:
"Get the hell out of my way" The young doctor, Scarlet hissed freezing the panicking operation room
"Doctor Adams this isn't your place, this isn't your patient, and you're not allowed to come another step on this-"With one harsh glare from the younger doctor the senior froze on her spot
"Are you fucking kidding me, …obviously you don't know what you're doing, his nen is bursting out of his body like a hard rain….if don't know how to sustain even with vital sign and heart rate…He. Will. die" Scarlet hissed with a hint of fear
"Nen! Hah that's absurd that's just fictional facts not acknowledge by our books, Ms. Adams- you're head is too much in a cloud along with your grandmother's stories about unnatural power-"
"Doctor Freston" This halted the argument when an Old man came out the door, hands tuck neatly on his back. He has a calm exterior with a matching calm smile
"I'm Netero, Chairman of the Hunter organization…with all due respect but I specifically requested Doctor Adams to take over this operation, I have already talk to the head hospital that it is indeed an operation that's needed Doctor Adams'… expertise" his words humiliated the senior doctor, unable to do anything but throw her equipment in a unprofessional manner and stomp off the room, her team also followed with her
Netero smile warmly at Scarlet who's gawking at him in awe. With a thank you grin which Netero gently accept she immediately turn back to the dying patient. She pull down the blanket covering the patient face to have a better check then-
"AHHH!" Scarlet scream when she found a laid back person, with a messy hair and brown eyes looking back at her. The patient is awake and laying back on his bed as if there weren't a dextrose, a line and a tube on his body, to make the matters worst his stomach were cut open but he still has a strength lay there in a laid back posture greeting her in a bored expression
"Yo~" Scarlet pales as white as if she had seen a ghost "It's not that I mind being stare at and all, but I'm practically dying here…if you're going to heal me, I'll appreciate it if you hurry up and stop gawking at my good looks"
Scarlet let out an irrational vein pop, disliking the guy's blunt attitude, but Scarlet proceeded on operating him to save his life
Netero chuckle behind Scarlet and look down on the patient, the patient growl "old geezer"
"I see you made it back alive…Ging" Netero calmly said
Ging gave a wondrous grin "It is worth it, one of the beautiful places I've seen…I'm going to back there for her"
"for her?"
"She's an angel, Old geezer….she's one of a kind" Netero smile on Ging's face, it the first time he found the hard thick guy like him made a love sick expression like that, then Ging chuckle "a little bit of an air head though"
"Ouch- hey… be careful with that" Ging complain after feeling a sharp pain his chest where Scarlet is fixing
Scarlet who's hand covered with blood pull out a sharp blade "Oh my gosh…this has a poison, it almost got your heart…" Scarlet look at Ging in disbelief "Normal person would have die now, you shouldn't be able to breath..h-how"
Ging gave a confident smirk "Calm down princess… lets just cut it short that I'm no normal person…and I can see…judging from those glowing eyes …and enhance hand…you're not either"
Scarlet eyes sharpen "w-what do you know about my ability?"
Ging grin "Tell you what… if you heal me with no problem and prevent me from dying…I'll even teach you the basics, princess"
Scarlet eyes brighten, since she was 6 her grandma tell her stories about her healing ability, that it's a life source called nen…when she died, she stop learning about it but the curiosity still burns in her mind. Now she have an opportunity to learn more.
"Deal" with a grin, her eyes glow as well as her two hands. Both Netero and Ging look at this, with a analyzing look- then a smile came across both of their lips when they watch a young doctor heal Ging in an exceptional speed and magic with one thought in their mind 'Prodigy'
End of Flashback
"Basically, Ging introduce me to nen and this kind of life" Scarlet said now sitting beside Killua, playing in the water with their feet's
"Ging…Ging is Gon's father" Killua stated, Scarlet look at Killua with a shock look
"Really?" She exclaim in disbelief "That's impossible"
Killua give her monotone look "You're the only one who reacted like that, they are like a split image"
Scarlet shook her head fast "Impossible, that guy is an asshole…Gon is a complete sweet heart…"
Killua let out a laugh "Pfft- ahahahha Gon has his fair share of attitude"
"ohh~ but compare to that asshole, I pity Gon…I bet he left him behind while he was young and abandon being a parent" Scarlet half kid
"He did!" Killua exclaim with a laugh, Scarlet choke in surprise
"What- hahaahahaha I knew it…he's such an asshole"
SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD:
Ging is on top of the volcano with a mysterious talking animal on his shoulder
"A-aaaaaaa-CHOOOO" he sneeze as a wave of discomfort runs through his nerves
"What's wrong, Ging sama chu?" the small creature ask "you feel uncomfortable"
Ging wave it off "Nah nah its nothing…I bet someone was just bad mouthing me in its extent" he simply said as a red hair small doctor pop in his mind "I'm betting my life it's her" he growl ofromthe bottom of his breath
The small cute creature blink
BACK TO SCARLET:
After Scarlet and Killua's laugh, she started telling something serious "I learn a lot from Gin, despite of his habit of running out by himself and disappearing in unexpected time, he still taught me a lot of things I needed to know…then I met Bisky, I thought she's just an ordinary lady who needed to cure her student who over exert himself because of nen training…." Scarlet grin "I bet you know who he is…he's that four head kid with his clothes always untuck"
Killua grin "Wing-san"
"Yeah…he was a cry baby, he's just a kid with a strong mind, always determine by his goal" Scarlet remember "I became their regular doctor while Wing-chan train, Bisky decided to stay near the town since she can't control the stubborn Wing, telling him every single damn day not to exhaust his nen…but he always did then…eventually, Bisky's fear came and Wing-chan's life source gone down to one percent…"
