Killua and I, managed to get some great seats. I lean in the chair, viewing the Arena as the fight's just starting "Okay, we have a thrilling match for you today. First, we have Gon, who managed to zip straight to this class! His opponent will be Gido, who holds a respectable 4-1 record."
I peer over to Killua, whom seems to be watching in deep thought. The referee begins the fight as I watch my opponent carefully. Gido begins the fight by placing a spinning top on his cane dragging them out to 5 or more of them.
The announcer yells excitedly "There they are, Gido's Dancing tops! He uses numerous tops to attack his opponent!" Gido launches the tops in Gon's direction, surrounding him. They spin around, bumping into each other.
One gets sent flying into Gon's back, causing him to lose a point making it already 1 - 0 "And one, point right off the bat! He's off to a rough start."
I flinch slightly, leaning back into the chair "This fight is going to be hard for Gon..."
Killua blurts out "How so?"
I look at Killua before focusing back at the field "His attack is unpredictable... Gido show no signs of controlling the tops... and they are spinning in random directions... the only control I've seen so far, is they keep in a certain range from the person, moving where they move."
Gon tries to create distance from the tops, only to be followed constantly by them. They bump into each other, hitting again from the behind making it 2 - 0.
The announcer yells "He's been hit from the behind by another top! Gon is in big trouble, after having been surrounded by dancing tops!"
Gon jumps around the field as I frown, retorting lightly so that Killua can hear me "What is he doing? His going to lose he should be moving with the tops not away from them..."
Killua looks weird at me "What you mean...?"
I respond without turning "The tops are ricocheting off each other towards Gon..."
Gon gets hit again, falling on the ground, giving Gido 2 points, making it 4 - 0 "Gido has already earned four points!"
Gon continues to dodge, stopping for one second.
I smile "I think his starting to learn!"
Gon gets hit by another top, getting hit out of the ring this time.
"or not..." I frown.
The announcer yells in excitement "The score is now 6 - 0! he's dug himself a big hole!"
Gon stands outside the ring as the referee starts to count.
Killua growls "What's Gon doing?"
I respond "Apart from losing, it looks like he may have figured out the pattern..." Gon rushes inside the ring before getting counted out.
He flies towards Gido with an attempt to knock him aside. Gido begins to spin like one of his dancing tops. My eyes widen as the announcer yells "There it is! Gido's special technique, it's combining offense and defence, Tornado Top!"
Gon bounces off Gido, landing back out the ring, bouncing straight into the wall "He lands a strong counter on Gon! 3 Points! The judge has awarded a critical hit and knockdown! Gido has nine points! Gon is on the verge of losing."
Gon gets back up, heading into the ring.
Killua freaks.
I turn to face Killua, asking him what's wrong "What is he doing?"
Killua stutters "His disabling his ten..."
I retort "Is he crazy!"
Killua yells out as I try to hold him back "YOU IDIOT! If your hit by a Nen attack, without protection you'll be totally messed up!"
Gon moves slightly as two dancing tops bounce of each other, avoiding Gon completely.
Killua sits back down in shock, staring in awe. I speak softly "That's unique his able to dodge while disabling Ten... that's risky!"
Gon continues to dodge, avoiding all hits by any of the dancing tops. They continue to ricochet off each other, avoiding him completely.
The announcer responds excitedly "It's the first time Gon has managed to evade an attack!" Gon jumps to the side, smiling as he misjudges one of the tops. It slams into his arm, causing him to lose the match.
The announcer responds "Gido has gotten 10 straight points, Gido wins!"
I frown, tilting my head towards Killua "Gon is going to be in serious trouble!" Killua nods "After I'm through with him... that was reckless!"
I nod slightly "Smart! But reckless..."
Later in the day
Killua shakes his head at Gon "Your right radius and ulna were both broken, fractured humerus, three broken ribs, twelve other minor fractures. Four months before you're completely healed up..."
I'm leaning on the wall, trying not to laugh at Killua's face. Killua, why so serious...?
Killua stares at Gon, making one of the most funniest faces. It looks like a cross between a grumpy old man, and an angry mafia boss "You moron!"
I couldn't take it anymore. I drop to the floor, laughing like an idiot.
I slam my fist on the floor and start to roll around like an idiot.
Killua turns to me, yelling at me this time "This isn't funny!"
I get up, trying to calm myself "I know but your angry face was too funny! I couldn't hold it in any longer..."
He blushes as Gon frowns slightly "Sorry..."
He pokes Gon on the forehead "An apology won't help you! Do you have any brains in there?! Didn't you see what happened to those who'd suffered the traditional Nen greeting?"
He flicks Gon on the forehead hard, making a loud snapping noise and never lets up on his attack "One wrong move and you could have ended up like them!"
I grab Killua, pulling him off the bed "I'm sure Gon gets it now. His lucky to be alive..."
As Killua tries to break out of my hold, I turn, throwing him in the chair and sit on top of him before he could even move.
"What are you doing! Get off of me! I'm not a seat!" Killua yells at me.
I speak softly, trying to calm down Killua "Killua... calm down, I'm sure Gon is going to learn from his mistakes..."
Gon nods "Y-"
I interject "HOPEFULLY... He had the right idea but a bad execution...!"
As I get off Killua, he sighs "Why do you think Four-Eyes was training us?"
Gon lifts a finger "Still... I had a feeling I'd be okay."
I see Killua glare as I get ready to sit back down on Killua.
Gon smiles "I took a few hits, but I wasn't in mortal danger, as long as he missed my vital spots..."
I sit back down on Killua as he throws a tantrum "Get off me I'm going to kill Gon!"
A knock disrupts Killua. He turns to the door, responding to the person behind it "Come in..."
I get off Killua as he gets up to open the door.
Wing stands at the door slightly pissed. How pissed? I don't know exactly.
Killua murmurs "Four-"
As he pushes himself in, Killua steps off to the side as Wing walks over towards Gon.
Gon stares down at the bed as Killua closes the door "Uh, so-"
Wing slaps Gon against his face before he could even apologise "AN APOLOGY WON'T HELP! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? DIDN'T YOU SEE THOSE WHO'D SUFFERED THE TRADITIONAL NEN GREETING? YOU COULD OF-"
I yell at Wing "ENOUGH! His already had this conversation with us he doesn't need the same speech twice! I get it he is a dumb-"
"He could have gotten killed why didn't-" Wing interrupted.
"STOP HIM! Have you ever tried stopping a truck with your bare hands... without using NEN! It's impossible!"
Killua lifts his finger to interject, only to be stopped by me yelling "CORRECTION! Have you ever stopped a 512 ton monster truck from driving over you without using NEN! It's impossible!"
I sigh "Gon's stubborn like that. Once he gets an idea, I couldn't even stop him if I chained him to a chair and super glued his arse to it!" Wing sighs in frustration, placing his hands on Gon's shoulders "Honestly... I'm glad your injuries weren't any worse."
Gon apologises again "Guys, I'm really, really sorry."
Wing pulls off a funny face as I try not to laugh again. As I cover my mouth, trying not to laugh, Wing continues "No, I won't let this one slide. Killua-kun, Daniel-kun, do you know when Gon-kun will have recovered completely?"
Killua nods "The doctor said it would take two months."
Wing stands up as his face returns, I sigh in relief. Wing speaks "I understand."
Killua turns to face me. As I see a cat like appearance as I lift a finger but decide not to ask.
Wing lifts his fingers "In that case, I won't allow you to participate in any matches for two months! I won't allow you to train in, or study about Nen. If you don't abide by these rules, I will never teach you again. Well?"
Gon replies "I understand. I'll do as you say."
Wing holds out a piece of string "Give me your left hand."
He ties a blue string around Gon's left hand before speaking "This is a promise thread. It will be a visual reminder of your promise."
Gon nods as Wing turns to us "Killua-kun, Daniel-kun, a moment, please." Wing takes us outside, speaking to us "Killua-kun, Daniel-kun, what is the true objective you two are pursuing?"
Killua responds as I sit and listen "Well, we don't really have an objective. Before running into Zushi and you, my plan was to earn some quick cash. Gon's here to train hard, so he can defeat a guy named Hisoka. That's it, really."
I nod "Hisoka was that weird clown you saw last night."
Killua nods as he thinks out loud "Looks like the others in the 200s want to reach the top floor... Battle Olympia, wasn't it? I'm not too interested. Oh, Gon is... Well, I'm not sure..."
I finish of the sentence for Killua "Gon, is Gon. Stubborn, yet his trying to become stronger through any means necessary, as well as..."
I stop to think "Should I be giving this away...?"
Wing interrupts my chain of thought "As well as...?"
I respond "Looking for someone special to him..."
Killua looks at me as I stop him from pursuing the topic any further.
Killua grins "I will admit after seeing his match yesterday, I have a feeling he enjoys the thrills..."
Wing retorts lightly "You say that he was enjoying a situation that could have cost him his life?"
I nod "He strives to become stronger... no matter the cost..."
Killua nods "Yeah, I know because I've felt the same way."
I smile "Never pegged that from you..."
Killua glares at me as I hold my hands up, telling him it's a joke.
Killua responds "Although, I take circumstances into consideration, too. Once he's on the zone, he loses sight of everything else. OH! But he isn't the type to break a promise twice, so you needn't worry."
I smile at Killua's smile.
I turn, speaking to Wing "But his still a pain to deal with from time to time..."
Killua glares at me "You're one to talk! It's too late... because we already know. If you regret teaching us and decide to back out, we'll find someone else, or we'll learn it ourselves. You don't have to feel responsible. My brother and Hisoka can both use Nen, and apparently Daniel too. So, Gon and I were bound to discover it eventually. "
Killua walks off. As I follow after him, Wing stops us "I understand... and I mean to finish what I started. There are many things I must tell you. Zushi is waiting in my lodge. You can train with him."
Killua thinks for a moment "No, I'll pass."
I retort "What?"
Killua responds "I won't leave Gon behind. If he keeps his promise, I'll start training when he does."
I nod. Best friends don't leave each other behind...
Wing stops us again "Tell Gon-kun this... I will allow him to practice the other Nen! Tell him to practice Ten daily!" Killua and I wave, leaving Wing behind.
What's the other Nen?
