After a very long hiatus, I'm finally back. I totally forget to upload things here, please take this chapter as an offering of peace and don't kill me! I'll upload the next one tomorrow! (Sorry the battles are not as exciting as the one from the actual anime...someday I'll learn how to write them)

DAY 22- In battle-side-by-side

They were surrounded by a group of nen-users prepared for combat. They had been ambushed in their way to the battle event for the one they bought formal clothes and practiced the ballroom dancing, in such a way that they couldn't ran away.

- Who are this people?- asked Gon stepping back as the ring of people that surrounded them got smaller

- Who knows?~ - Hisoka shrugged as he took some cards between his fingers

- You should know! They are after you!- shouted the boy in indignation as the man laughed

- That's right! We came for revenge-

- Well, that's a beautiful motivation, but it doesn't works that much since I don't remember about you~ - he joked as he played with his cards, watching over Gon in case anyone tried to attack him

- You bastard!- One of the girls jumped toward him with a sword, but he stopped her with a card- Even though you killed her

- I've killed lots of people. Can you be more specific?~ - Smiled the man pushing her back

- You… you piece of shit! People like you shouldn't exist!- Shouted another one, sending some arrows toward Hisoka, however, Gon broke them with a kick before they could get near him.

- You see? This is why I told you to stop killing so much!- pouted Gon mildly angry

- Don't say that, I don't kill as much as I used to~ That's why I don't remember them, they must be from the ones that I killed before- tried to find an explanation that could satisfy the inquisitive dark eyes

- Child, you should get away from him- Said a woman with metal gloves, walking toward them- He is a really bad adult, he could hurt you. He is no friend of you

- Well, no, he is no friend of mine, he is my boyfriend- replied the child getting closer to Hisoka and taking a fighting posture- and I like him, so I'm not getting away

- But he killed someone!- Said the first girl, swinging her sword reckless against Hisoka, trying to cut him at least once, being rejected by the cards of Hisoka in every single of her attacks, making her fall on her back at the end

- That's true, that's really bad. But I can't change him nor can I erase his past- replied confidently- And I really love him. He is even doing his best to not kill anymore, so, isn't that enough?

- You are such a lovely boy~ - Hisoka smiled at Gon, sincerely grateful for the words he said in his defense. He was glad that someone felt that way about him, and more important, he felt really grateful for the happy coincidence that the person he loved most in the world, felt the same way about him

- Just step aside boy, you don't know him- Screamed a man, running toward him with his fists lightened in nen, prepared to destroy him. Gon evaded jumping over him, and kicked him with all his strength on the back

- At least I know him better than you do- He said sticking his tongue out in a childish taunt before smiling back at Hisoka

- Nice one~ - Hisoka corresponded to the smile with a soft smirk

- You are not the target of our vengeance, please step aside- Asked the woman with the metal gloves

- I don't wanna- yelled back, crossing his arms over his chest

- We don't want to kill you- continued the woman

- And what made you think it would be easy to kill him?~ - Hisoka smiled in a threatening way, as he played with the cards on his hand

Gon felt strangely flattered by the words of the man, blushing a bit, hearing the words as a clear prove of all the trust and love that was being confided to him. He jumped like a puppy and then prepared to attack, ready to fulfill the expectations the man had on him.

The woman in the gloves got even closer and Hisoka send some of his cards toward her. With almost no effort she returned all the cards in the air, however, she got so absorbed by them that she didn't noticed the boy getting closer to hit her, not even using the Jajanken to throw her back in the air to one of the buildings. She was out of combat. They were really not that strong

- You are really good~ - Hisoka admired licking his upper lip, sending a card directly to the girl that attempted to attack him while he had his guard down.

With almost no effort, the group of people was defeated, falling unconscious on the floor, not even believing how strong Hisoka's new lover was.

- We are going to be late!- Said the boy, pulling Hisoka from the arm

- It's a good thing that our clothes didn't get dirty~ - smiled the man following him

They were too strong to be defeated like that.
