A/N: OMG! For the people who read last chapter BEFORE I edited it (Yes I edited it) You noticed the lack of Leorio's age revelation right? Okay, I put the scene in now xD I'm so sorruh for forgetting that significant scene ;n; anyway, on to the story! Review replies at the bottom~ AND WOW~ THIS STORY GOT ADDED TO A COMMUNITY :'D It's 'Cutest Killuaxoc fanfics' TYSM! :D
-I HATE NOSES! -
-Yumi's POV-
Us five jumped down into the cliff immediately, leaving the person who said no sane person would jump down dumbstruck. Menchi also yelled she wasn't finished yet, but too bad. The four grabbed the web and well… I accidentally, fortunately, with a stroke of luck, landed right on Killua's hands.
Which means my foot landed on a string of web. I flailed my arms around when I started to get out of balance and Killua glared at me for stepping on his hands, so I also had to step away. Dang it, you know what? I'll just grab a web rather than balance on this stupid string.
I let myself fall down and grabbed a web near Killua since I moved over.
"Baka, if I was any other person I would've fell down." Killua said as he gave me a blank look.
Now, I have signature glares, not signature excuses. So… I'll use Gon's excuse.
"But you're not any other person, now, aren't you? And you didn't fell down, so past is in the past~" I sing songed as I smirked. Killua's eyebrow's twitched as he sighed and we were about to let go when Gon exclaimed wait.
We all looked at him.
"There's no wind yet." He said, answering everyone's question. Oh, the wind only comes in temporarily? Great.
Some people couldn't wait and they let go of their webs, and when they realized that they let go too soon they screamed.
"They let go of their webs then they scream. Wow." I muttered under my breath as I looked at the people that let go of their webs. They eventually hit the river and they were driven with the currents of the river fast.
Falling would not be a good idea.
Suddenly, the web started to snap. I widened my eyes and looked around, seeing many others jump, not waiting for the web to snap. Leorio looked at Gon in worry who was looking down determinedly.
"Gon, not yet?" Leorio asked. (Can't remember who actually asked that xD) Gon shook his head. I gulped and looked down at the river.
Now, to entertain my mind and to get rid of my thoughts about scary possibilities, let me make a poem.
Don't fall to the river~
The water is cold, and you'll shiver~
The currents are fast, you think you'll last?
But really, what a shame
the falling people's cries are in vai-
"Now!"
I snapped out of my poem/song-making (Yes, I know, I'm good at it, mhm!) and let go of the web as did all the other applicants, and grabbed two eggs, one in each hand. I sang in glee it my mind with a bright grin as my plan succeeded.
We were blown up into the current and, my theory was correct.
Flying is like riding a fast motorcycle, only you aren't sitting down(unless you're flying in a sitting position though I doubt that) and you're not touching anything.
I landed on the ground with a bright smile and I hugged the two eggs. I know, it's a stupid thing to do. While the person earlier that was too cowardly to jump just stared at all of us, astonished.
We boiled the eggs in a giant pot and no, I don't know where it came from. It wasn't there before we jumped!
I took a bite out of one of the eggs and I struck up a thoughtful face which Gon and Killua snickered at, who were by the way, by my side also eating their eggs.
'It passes.' I thought to myself, referring to the egg. I took a bite and chewed it slowly while I had a cat grin on my face which had Killua looking weirdly at me.
"You sure are enjoying your egg." Killua said as he stared at my other egg that had no bite yet. I blinked at him as I swallowed the chunk I had bitten off.
I looked at my egg that was unharmed and then at Killua, then back to the egg then back to him again. I also noticed he didn't have his egg anymore. I reached out my unharmed egg with a smirk on my face.
"Want some?~" I asked him. He beamed and nodded rapidly and tried to take the egg but I quickly pulled it back.
"Hm… how about a trade? What can you give me?" I asked him as he blinked. He stared off into space and as I blinked I thought I saw a question mark on his head…
Oh no. I'm hallucinating. IT'S LIKE THAT TIME WITH THE SPARKLES WITH LEORIO!
I paled unconsciously though Killua didn't notice it. He then raised a finger and let out an 'Ah!'. I wonder what he could offer that could actually match this egg.
"How about in exchange for the egg, I can be your trainer till' the exam ends!" Killua said with a grin. I raised my eyebrow. "Since I saw you couldn't even lift that huge pig and-" I paled at the memory. Stupid pig… "you don't have much stamina, I thought I can improve those. And I assume you aren't that good in fighting either." He said as he stuck a tongue out.
I glared at him my signature glare, and I'm sure that the moment I said signature glare you know what glare I did. Or do you not remember the name of the glare? Well then, to remind you, it was 'Venom-Words mixed with Killing-Glares'.
But sadly this time I had no words. Sob sob, cry cry.
"Fine." I said as I narrowed my eyes at him. I handed him the egg and he started eating it while I ate my remaining egg. "But if it turns out you're a horrible trainer, I'll never do trades with you again." I added.
"But do you think I'd ever do trades with you again?" Killua asked. I blinked at him. I shook my head and I gave him a blank look.
"So you like, think that, this'll be our first and last trade in our whole life?" I asked him skeptically. I'm so smart amirite? Answering the question with a question.
"Answering a question with a question is rude."
I felt like a rock fell on me. Busted.
"Well then… what if I said yes? Does my answer really matter with a question like that?" I asked as I raised my eyebrow.
'This is such a pointless conversation. I don't think this even deserves the right to be called a "Conversation".' I thought as I inwardly sweatdropped.
Killua thought for a bit about what I said before he shook his head. I sighed. "See? Pointless question, so answering your question with a question seems like the best answer." I said, and Killua pouted. I think he isn't used to losing arguments. Poor him; I can't lose arguments against him even if I wanted to.
A few minutes after that we finished our eggs and right after we did so, Netero and the examiners called us into the airship. It makes me wonder if we were the last ones to finish our eggs and were being watched because the timing was so perfect.
When all the applicants entered the airship, the airship started to ascend and move to wherever it was taking us. I looked around and saw that we were in one big room, and Netero was in front of us all.
"This is the airship that will take us to the Third Phase of the Hunter Exam. I was thinking of coming in at the last phase, but since I'm here already, I guess, why not? We will arrive at the Third Phase's location at Eight AM, Until then, you can explore or sleep in the ship." Netero announced and walked away.
The other applicants also started dispersing and walking out of the room, and I went near the group to see what they were talking about.
"Man, I'm dead tired, I'm gonna sleep till' we arrive there." Leorio said. Right then and there, Tompa the fat, box-nosed, fake-smiley-face person walked up to us. I have so many names for him I can't say them all. At least I gave you three of them.
"I think this is part of the Hunter Exam. They might be telling you that we'll arrive there at 8 AM, but we might arrive before that time, and whoever is awake at that time will be the only ones to proceed. I think we should take caution, or else we might fail the exam." He said with a smile and a concerned face as he walked away. I snorted.
"Rookie-crusher, lying, rounded stomach, box nosed, obvious, irritating, annoying, a horrible-excuse-of-a-person, fake-face-and-smile faced, idiot." I mumbled, but it was loud enough to be heard by the group.
They all sweatdropped.
"Anyway, Yumi, you think what he said was true?" Leorio asked as they all looked at me. Killua was just looking at me in boredom since he probably knows the answer.
"Nope." I replied popping the p. "As I said, he's a Rookie crusher, lying-" I said and I was about to list them off again for them since they didn't hear everything I said clearly, but Leorio interrupted.
"Okay, no need to repeat everything, I'm gonna hit the hay." He said as Kurapika nodded.
"We'll explore the ship." Killua said as he motioned to Gon. The other two nodded and started walking to the rooms.
"Ne, Yumi, are you coming?" Gon asked me with a bright smile. I shook my hea-
Before I even completed the action, puppy eyes were aimed at me.
My eyebrow twitched. Why was Gon so persistent on making me come? I sighed and I shrugged. I need to increase my defense against Gon's puppy eyes attack.
He had his bright smile again as Killua raised his eyebrow at Gon's antics. They started walking around, and for some reason, it led to Killua and Gon deciding they'll steal from the kitchen.
I leaned on the wall opposite the kitchen door. I didn't agree to stealing from the kitchen since I wasn't that stealthy, and Killua had this comeback that Gon wasn't stealthy either, and that I should consider it as his stealth training. But I said no, since even if they were really stealthy, they'd definitely make a ruckus.
Suddenly, I heard a voice. "SUGOI! THIS IS TASTY KILLUA!" Gon exclaimed.
Because of that. Gon would accidentally shout like that. I heard Killua scolding him as I snickered from my place and I heard a ruckus from the kitchen and an unfamiliar voice, shouting. Looks like they were found.
They eventually got thrown out of the room on either sides of me, and the door of the kitchen slammed shut. I looked to my right and saw Killua who was standing up, holding a chicken leg. I blinked and looked to my left and saw Gon doing the same also holding a chicken leg.
"Despite being captured, he let the two of you get chicken legs?" I asked incredulously. They both nodded, Killua with a smug smirk and Gon with a bright smile.
I sighed and pouted. Mentally, I wondered who should I try puppy eyes on. I saw Gon do it, and usually I can do something when I see someone do it…
I'll do it on Gon. After all, he is the nicer one in the group.
I feel so bad taking advantage on him but oh well. I turned to him and gave him puppy eyes, asking him to give me a bit.
Gon grinned. I almost did a mental cheer until Gon stuck his tongue out.
I flinched. Gon laughed at my reaction.
"You can't take advantage of him, idiot. He's naïve, not stupid." Killua said. I glared at him.
"Well, you two go away from here and I'll get more than what you got." I said with a smirk. Killua raised his eyebrow and Gon nodded with a bright smile. They walked to a corner and they peeked out from it.
I went near the door and I cleared my throat, and stood up straight. I knocked on the door and immediately interlocked my hands together in front of me. Killua snickered at me from the distance, barely audible, but eventually stopped while Gon had a curious face.
The door opened and the man looked at me.
"What do you want?" He asked. I put on my best puppy eyes and I slightly pouted to put on an 'innocent girl' effect. Believe me, I hate doing this, but, for the sake of food and showing off to those two and making them drool in jealously at my success of getting more food, I'll do it.
"I'm hungry sir… And I can't find where the foods are. Would you mind giving me some?" I asked as my eyes sparkled with the puppy eye effect and I pouted.
The man stuttered much to my joy and I cheered mentally knowing that I won.
"O-Okay. Wait here, I'll get some." The man said and went inside the kitchen. I momentarily turned off the puppy eyes and pout and turned to the two who were staring at me with wide eyes. I smirked smugly and quickly got back to my innocent girl act.
The man got back carrying a transparent box with two chicken legs in it and another box that was transparent too, only smaller, with chocolate cake in it. He also brought me a bottle of water.
Wow, the innocent girl act must have done its job. And perfectly I tell you. I need to use this more on others… except for Killua and Gon, at least.
He gave me the two boxes and the bottle of water and I (fake) bowed thankfully.
"Arigatou!(Thank you!/Thanks!)" I said with a bright smile. This probably looks so out of character to the other two.
The man smiled back at me and closed the door as he walked back in to the kitchen. I quickly put off the act and smirked at the two who were now out of the hallway, gaping at me. I turned to them and walked to them with a victorious smirk.
"I told you I can get more than what you two got. " I said with a smug smirk. I then noticed Killua staring at the chocolate cake and Gon at the two fried chicken legs. I quickly hid the two boxes in my backpack and drank from the water bottle. The two pouted.
"Finders, keepers." I said as I closed the bottle and also put it in my bag.
After all that commotion was done, we ended up walking around the airship, bored, again. Gon suddenly ran up to a window and stuck his face to it (literally) as he exclaimed;
"Sugoi!(Wow!/Awesome!)"
Killua walked up to him and I followed them, not wanting to be left behind.
"Is this the first time you've seen a view like this?" Killua asked Gon. I watched them with an amused expression. They've just met recently and they were like brothers.
"Yeah!"
"I've seen this plenty of times, my family owns a lot of air ships." Killua replied. Gon stared at him with wide eyes.
"Ne, Killua, where's your mom and dad?" Gon asked. Killua just looked at the two of us. Why me too? I stared back at him, waiting for his answer.
"They're alive. Probably." He said as he shrugged. I raised my eyebrow at that response. So there's a possibility that they're dead right now? Wow.
"What do they do?" Gon asked again.
"They're assassins." He finally said.
"Both of them?"
"Really?"
Gon and I said at the same time though Gon's was more audible because it was longer than what I said. We looked at eachother and laughed.
Killua stared at the two of us with incredulous faces.
"That's your first reaction? You two really are weird." He said. I blinked and Gon smiled. Aren't we all?
"Well, you're telling the truth right?" Gon asked him. There was a moment of silence before Killua spoke up again.
"People only like me because they can't ever tell whether I'm serious or not. I'm from a family of assassins, so we're all assassins. They wanted me to take on the family business, so when I said I didn't want to, they all snapped. My mother was crying while saying I had so much potential. They're horrible parents, right? It's just natural that their kid would go bad. In the end I ended up stabbing my mother on the face and my brother on the side, and I ran away from home. They're probably out of blood by now. But if they somehow find me, I'll send them packing." He said with a smirk on his face. I raised an eyebrow at his speech and Gon just stared at him with a smile.
"When I become a hunter, the first thing I'll do is to capture my family." He added. "I'm sure they're worth some hefty bounties." He said with sparkles in his eyes as he day dreamed. I snorted. Killua sat back down and Gon and I did too.
"What about you, Yumi?" Gon asked me with a smile. I blinked.
"I told you already right? Mom blames me for my dad's death, that's it. She just made me do chores without caring for me and ignored me except for when she needed something ever since dad died." I said with a sour mood. Gon frowned. Killua just looked at me waiting for more. Gon was the one who spoke up though.
"But, aren't all moms good? I shouldn't say that since I live with my aunt, but she's like a mom to me already." Gon said. I sighed and looked at the two.
"Fine. She's not really my mother. She's my step mother." I said. Killua had a look of interest now, but only slight. Gon's eyes were wide.
"What happened to your real mother?" Gon asked with furrowed eyebrows. I shrugged.
"Dad says that she died when I was two in a car accident, and he married my step mom when I was three." I replied as Gon had a look of pity on his face. Killua just looked at me. I continued.
"If you're going to ask what my step-mom was like before dad died, she still treated me poorly whenever dad was gone. But when dad was there, she always acts all nice and stuff. She's plastic." I spat out the last part with venom.
"I don't have any half siblings. Dad says that I'm enough. She tried to reason with him saying 'the more the merrier', but I'm sure she just hated being with only me in the house. I don't know why she hates me though, but it's probably because of the fact that I'm 'not related to her at all' and I'm staying at the house. Or maybe because I'm the child of dad's ex-wife." I continued. Gon frowned at me.
"That's pretty harsh…" Gon added to his frown. I would've nodded like the emoticons where they nod with a funny face and a pout but this time, I just nodded. It really wasn't time for jokes like that.
"A few months, we stayed like that. Until one day, she came back drunk. She kicked me out of the house, she didn't even bother giving me anything. I was ten at the time. So for two years or so I stole from people money. I didn't want to but I had no choice, but I didn't steal anything else since I bought things with the money." I said. "Or actually, I stole some food from restaurants too sometimes, just when I'm desperate." I added. Gon's frown deepened as he looked at me with furrowed eyebrows.
"A few days, I was like that, until I heard some people talking about the Hunter Exam and how it could give you an awful lot of advantages. They also said things about how the Hunter Exam can kill you. So I decided to train until I think I'm strong enough. So… I thought that was this year, and here I am." I finished. Gon looked at me with a slight smile. It wasn't the cheerful smile, it was more of… to comfort me, I think.
I looked at Killua from the corner of my eyes to see his reaction. He was just staring down with an unreadable face. I shrugged, I could understand him not making much of a reaction to my story, since he's probably went through much more than me.
We stayed in silence for a few seconds until we suddenly felt a dangerous aura coming from behind us, making us momentarily forget about my story. We all stood up at the same time and looked behind us. There was no one there. We heard footsteps from the left and turned there to see Netero walking to us.
"Is there something wrong?" Netero asked.
"Netero-san, did you see anyone coming from there?" Gon asked him as he pointed to where we felt the aura come from.
"Oh? No, I didn't." He replied with a smile. Killua narrowed his eyes at him. He's probably annoyed.
"You're pretty fast for an old man." Killua commented. I snorted at him. That's the first thing he says?
"That little trick? I barely moved."
"What do you want?" Killua asked with an obvious annoyed tone. "You're not supposed to be here until the last exam, right?"
"You don't need to be so harsh. As I said, I'll be staying here for a while, since I'm here already anyway. And I got bored, so I wanted some companions. Anyway, I have a question for the three of you. What do you think of The Exam so far?"
"It's been fun! So far there haven't been any of the written exams I was dreading!" Gon exclaimed with a smile.
"It's… I don't know, the first phase was a bit tiring I guess," Understatement of the year. "And the second exam… I didn't really expect it but oh well." I said trying not to make my face give away signs that I was lying at the first part.
I usually ran every morning before for an hour or so, so the first phase actually had me really exhausted…
"It's been disappointing. Hopefully the next phase will be more… challenging?" Killua said in a bored tone.
"Well now, I don't know about that…" Netero said with a smirk. Killua growled.
"Gon, Yumi, let's go." He started walking only to stop when Netero started talking.
"Wait! I wanted to play a game, not just to irritate you." I snorted. Killua turned his head to us slightly. "If you win the game, I'll let you become hunters. If you don't win… well, that's it." He said with a smile and a glint in his eyes.
We probably won't be able to win at all.
"Really?! I'll play!" Gon said with sparkling eyes. I just blinked. There's a low chance of defeating him but…
I sighed. "Oh well, I don't really have a choice since I'm bored." I added.
By now, Killua turned back fully as he narrowed his eyes. "Okay."
We were brought into a spacious room by Netero and he went out of the room and came back in a tank top and shorts.
Killua went first, and he started walking around Netero like a predator observing its prey. Soon after he started walking, copies started to appear. I widened my eyes.
"Wow! I can see so many Killua's!" Gon exclaimed. I squinted my eyes and tried to focus. I like to think of myself as someone observant, and I often practice on observing before. Let's see if it works here…
I looked at the many copies and I saw some that were slightly tinted violet. I resisted the urge to widen my eyes and instead focused more. I saw that all of them except one were tinted violet. The one that's not must've been the real him.
I stopped focusing but I still trailed my eyes on the real Kilua earlier. After a few seconds of walking around, Killua lunged at Netero and gave a kick to Netero's leg that would've sent him stumbling, or better, falling down. But to my shock, Killua was the one who instead jumped back as he started hopping on one foot and held the one he used to kick as he had a pained expression on his face.
"Ow, ow, ow! That old man's leg is as hard as steel!" He exclaimed in shock as he hopped back to us. He high fived Gon as they went past each other and Killua sat down beside me.
I watched Gon circle Netero for a bit like Killua earlier, only I think he was actually observing him. From the corner of my eyes I saw Killua messing around with his hurt leg, poking it and wincing everytime.
"Oi baka, unless you're such a sadistic that you even like seeing yourself in pain, you shouldn't touch your leg or move it for a bit. If you do you'll make it hurt more. I'm the source of that." I said to him as he stopped poking it.
"Yea, yeah, I was ju- Wait, you're the source of it? What do you mean?" He asked me curiously. I blinked and raised my pointing finger up to add emphasis to what I was about to say.
"One time when I was practicing, I kicked a steel pole in an alleyway intending on making it a dummy and testing how much strength I have, and if I have enough strength to bend steel a bit." I said as I put my hand down and Killua snorted at that. It was a stupid idea after all.
"In the end I found out I should never kick steel the hard way. I poked it for a bit and the next day I couldn't move it and it hurt like hell." I added. And Killua nodded understanding my message;
Don't poke your sore leg again and again unless you want it to get paralyzed while it hurts.
From the corner of my eyes I saw Gon lunge at Netero as he stayed low on the ground, and we turned our heads to him. Netero lowered his guard, predicting what Gon would do.
But Gon instead jumped up at the last second and Netero was caught off guard, but sadly…
Gon hit the roof.
"AHOU!(Moron!) The attack would've been so effective if you didn't decide to show off! Baka, baka, baka!(Idiot, idiot, idiot!)" I shouted at him, making the last 'baka' long. He then landed on the floor while rubbing his head.
"You baka!(Idiot!) We know that you can jump very high Gon, don't rub it in our faces! You caught him off guard for a second!" Killua exclaimed at him with a vein popping on his forehead.
"Ehe… Gome!" Gon said to us as he walked back. I heard him mutter something; "Irritated Yumi is scary Yumi…" He muttered. Unfortunately for him, me and Killua heard it. I smiled sweetly at him as he made a face that said; 'Don't kill me…'
"Did you say something... Gon?" I asked with the fake/intimidating sweet smile on my face as my eyes glistened with dangerous intent. He shook his head frantically dreading that his life might come to an end.
At least, I think that's what he's dreading.
Killua took off his v-neck and Gon his jacket, and Killua went to Netero to fight again. And when he lost, he would switch with Gon. This went on for a couple of hours and I was very bored.
"You two aren't getting anywhere. Why don't you all attack at the same time, and why don't you join, Yumi-chan?" Netero asked with a smile. My eyebrow twitched.
He called me -chan. One does not simply call me -chan.
I took off my purple hoodie to reveal a high collared, long sleeved cotton shirt inside, which had Killua sweatdropping because I was so covered. I also dropped my bag beside it.
We all ran to Netero and he dodged Killua while he slammed Gon's head to the floor, though I pushed off the floor and tried to kick the top of Netero's head with the back of my foot, but he caught it and threw me to the wall.
'Thank God for padded walls.' I thought as my head hit the wall, hard. Though it was padded so it did no damage. But if the wall wasn't padded, I'd probably be dead by now.
The other two lunged at Netero again and Netero dodged killua while he jumped over Gon. While his attention was on the other two I lunged at him from behind, which I assumed was his blind spot, but at the last second he grabbed my head and threw it back to the wall, again.
"What the hell is with you grabbing my head and making it hit the wall, old man?! You have a fetish for it or something?!" I asked as I rubbed my head. It hurts a bit now… "If these walls weren't padded I'd have died two times by now!" I exclaimed as a vein popped on my head.
The three sweatdropped at my current failure while I ignored them and lunged at Netero once again. Netero grabbed my head again while he smirked at me playfully and tried to throw it at the wall again but…
Oh no he didn't.
I turned my head upwards and bit his hand at the palm, knowing it would be soft and his arms themselves would be solid like steel, courtesy of Killua.
The other two stumbled at their lunges at my action and Netero dragged his hand away from me, and good thing my bite wasn't deep or else I would've torn a good chunk of his flesh out by now.
I spit out the blood to the side of the room and Netero held his bleeding hand and looked at me like I was Death himself.
"Yumi?! Are you a cannibal?!" Killua asked me incredulously. Oh, it's the first time he called me by my name.
I think. I don't really pay attention.
"No you idiot. I just wanted to give the old man a lesson to never hold my head again." I said with a glare at Netero. Gon stared at me before he suddenly tried to grab the ball from Netero, and in response Netero drew his hand away as he shot Gon a look.
Killua and I sweatdropped at Gon's antics.
The fight started again and we ran at him in a triangle formation, I was aiming his left side, Killua at his right, and Gon at his back.
Netero jumped up and we all hit each other, and we all hit the floor. I rubbed my nose where it throbbed, and I saw Killua doing the same. We stared at each other thinking we were copying each other until-
…Wait. We hit each other's noses…
NO. THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN ROMANTIC COMEDY FICTIONS… I'm alive. I'm not a character. I. AM. NOT. A CHARACTER!
My face heated up and Killua's also as we realized what the hell happened to our noses. Gon looked at us curiously wondering why we were all red.
And apparently, Netero was smirking at us. He had seen it. No. Nope, this has all my nopes.
Netero put the ball on his nose like a seal and it irritated me looking at his nose.
'I now hate noses.'
Gon lunged at Netero and gave a kick which Netero dodged, but something 'unexpected' happened, Gon's attack range has increased!
Ahem, basically, Gon threw his boot off his foot. Awesome technique, awesome thinking, awesome Gon.
It hit Netero's chin and he dropped the ball, and Killua went behind him to give him a kick, which sent him halfway to the other side but I boosted it with another kick which sent him flying to the other side of the room.
Killua went to grab the ball but Netero kicked it away at the last second, and Netero went after it. Gon then used his other boot to send the ball away again and we all went after it.
"Mine!" We all exclaimed but Netero suddenly came from behind and we were sent flying by him as he got the ball. We all landed with a thud on the other side. Gon was amazed by Netero's show of skill and Killua, well, he was pissed off.
Me? I'm sad. I'm so sad. HE'S A CHEATER! HE CHEATED AT THE LAST SECOND TO GET THE BALL! HE CHEATED I SAY!
"I commend you for your efforts, however, that's not enough to get the ball from me." Netero said smugly with a smile.
"You're really amazing Netero-san!" Gon exclaimed. Killua was looking somewhere and I followed his gaze to see a smoking dent on the floor.
EVIDENCE! But before I could speak up, Killua spoke up.
"Forget it, I give up. I lose." He said as he grabbed his shirt and started walking to the door.
"Eh? Why Killua? We still have time! We also came really close earlier!" Gon exclaimed as he tilted his head. He's so cute… he's like a puppy. I'll point that out every single day… HE'S SO CUTE!
"Don't you see? The old man still haven't used his right hand and left leg. We can go on for years and we won't be able to get the ball." He replied to him. I blinked.
"Really?" I asked with a pout. I guess he has a point…
"What?!" Gon exclaimed with wide eyes.
"You figured it out huh? And here I thought I fooled you." Netero commented. Killua glared at him.
"You really know how to piss me off old man." He said as he started walking to the door again. "Let's go Gon, Yumi."
"I'll play for a bit more." Gon said to Killua with a smile.
"What?! Didn't you hear what I just said? It's useless!" Killua shouted at Gon whose smile was by now twitching nervously. Give the poor boy a break you merciless albino dictator.
"Yeah but I don't care about the ball! We've only used up half of the time limit and I want to make him use his right hand and left leg." Gon replied. Welp, let's see if that works out tomorrow.
"I see… good luck. I'm gonna go get some sleep." Killua said as he sighed and got out. I ran to my stuff and took on my hoodie and my back pack.
"I guess I'll go too. He has a point." I said to them and Gon nodded with a smile. I walked out and ran after Killua who turned the corner. I also turned a corner and saw two dead men with Killua walking past them. There was blood everywhere.
He looked back at me with wide eyes when he noticed my presence.
He looked down and put his hands in his pockets. I stared at the two dead men on the floor. I've seen things like this a couple of times in my two year wanderings, so I was quite used to it. But it still has the effect of wanting to puke though. I can just handle it better.
Killua looked at me from the corner of his eye. "I guess you hate me now, huh?" He asked me, but it was more like a sentence than anything.
"No, I'm used to it." I replied as Killua just kept on staring at me. Before I even thought of my next words, I blurted out; "Besides, we're friends right?"
I blinked as I realized what I had just said. Killua also had wide eyes. Eventually I let the truth sink in.
'You can't control who your friends are. It just happens. And he is one of my friends.'
A/N: So, Yumi accepted that she's friends with Killua!~ Sorry for the wait, I kept on facepalming when thinking how to do this chapter because I can't remember the events clearly xD But after reading some other's fanfictions I managed to do this :P But anyway, here's some fluff rite?! Argumentative fluff, nose-hitting fluff, and acceptance fluff! xD I guess that makes up for the wait. And were the battle scenes good? C: I almost broke the fourth wall there too xD
Review replies:
Liz(Guest): Really? xD I sort of made her like me except with a couple differences, that must mean you're a bit like me in real life :P
ILoveKitty's: Yay! That's probably because I've read a hella lot stories here already xD And I have like, 84 stories in my follow list. Or wait, I mean, *checks* 87 I mean. xD And YAY! THANKIES SO MUCH!
Yinyang555: Haha! I'm glad I can make you laugh like that C: Though you might not want to wake up your neighbors ;D And here it is! The update~ C: I hope it was good enough to make up for the wait!
Guest(JustAnimeFanfics): Ehe, that's probably because there's so much words each chapter~ :3 And yup, now you found out a bit of her backstory, but not enough that gives the reason why exactly her step mom blames her for her dad's death~ I wonder why? ;P You shall know in the due date. Her powers, you mean her abilities and advantages? It'll show up very clearly in the next chapter, which is where The Trick Tower takes place! ;D
Yay! So far my story is a success! Thanks for everyone who favourited/followed this story again! And the reviewers! And the silent readers too of course! :D
Now, I shall take my leave and hopefully I can update soon! But I most likely will, since I have SO. MUCH. PLANS FOR THE TRICK TOWER PART! EEEHEEEHEE
