Days pass by as we slowly progress, increasing minutes to hours.

Biscuit lifts a finger "Okay, all done!" Killua and Gon fall over. I sigh in relief, from knowing that the time is up.

Biscuit stands up, looking at us "You finally lasted for three hours."

Gon pants heavily "We did it... that was hard!"

Killua sighs "I can't move an inch..."

I sigh "Well... give me 5 minutes and I could move."

Biscuit claps her hands "What are you talking about? Stand up. We're going out."

I respond confused "Where can we go smelling like sweat... and old socks?"

Biscuit responds "To see Knuckle."

Killua and Gon move, looking up confused "Wh-Why?"

Biscuit smiles "See? You can move. Let's go!"

Biscuit starts to move as Killua yells at Biscuit "Tell us why we're going to see Knuckle."

Biscuit turns slightly frustrated "Jeez, don't ask questions with obvious answers. To fight him!"

I yell "Already?"

Biscuit smiles "Okay, let's go!"

Killua gets up yelling "What are you talking about? We still have time. What if we lose?"

Biscuit responds calmly "You just try again."

I look confused as Killua frowns "Huh?"

Biscuit points at us "Whether you win or lose isn't important. All that matters is who ends up with the tokens, right?"

Gon nods "Yeah."

Biscuit smiles mischievously "Which means you must take theirs. If it looks like you'll lose, run. Then try again the next day. From here on, you'll practice Ren for three hours a day. After that, you'll challenge Knuckle."

Biscuit glares at us "And you'll continue until you win."

We continue to walk out as Biscuit stops me "Except you! I want to have a firm talk with you."

I nod as Killua looks confused at Biscuit. She waves her hands at Killua and Gon, almost throwing them out "Shoo! Shoo! Go fight Knuckle! And don't come back till you win!"

Killua and Gon leave as I frown at Biscuit "You know I can still track them through Killua?"

Biscuit nods "I'm well aware of that! But, this concerns Killua, as much as at concerns you!"

My aura fluxes as Biscuit responds "You have something on your mind..."

I responds calmly "What is a concerned between us... stays between Killua and I."

Biscuit waves her hand "Not that... your distracted and it has to do something with Killua..."

I frown "What makes you think that?"

Biscuit grins "Right on the marker!"

I sigh as Biscuit pokes me "What's got your panties in a twist. Your Ren can be so much stronger! You're really slacking off! I would even dare say, you'll get Killua killed. But you have a higher probability of getting yourself killed."

I look at Biscuit unfazed, as she continues on "What is it you fear so much, Daniel?"

I respond calmly "Nothing!"

Biscuit retorts "Liar!"

Biscuit lifts her arms in fury "Let's see one of your weaknesses is losing Killua. That's a factor but it's something deeper... What exactly happened during NGL?"

I respond "You heard everything from Gon! There's nothing more I could offer you..."

Biscuit turns to face me "Looks like I'm going to have to get aggressive. Tell me everything from your point of view! NOW! No buts or if!"

I nod as I explain everything from my point of view.

Time Skip

Killua's P.O.V

I look at Gon, asking him a question "What do you think Biscuit wants to talk about to Daniel?"

"I dunno..." Gon responds calmly, looking as though he wants to cut off the topic.

I raise an eyebrow at Gon "What's got you down in the dumps?"

"What just happened now..."

Hmm... I hope Daniel's ok...

Daniel's P.O.V

She calls me out "That's it there's your problem!"

I respond confused "The Cat Chimera Ant...?"

Biscuit slaps the back of my head "No stupid! What happened during your encounter! That's where your problem is! WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?!"

I shake my hands "I'm not hiding jack shit from you!"

Biscuit pounds me "Tell me or I will have to use force."

I groan, massaging my head "Alright jeez you... you... I actually have nothing to say... that's weird..."

Biscuit lifts her fist, read to pound me.

I interject "I mean I have no insults to throw at you... Alright! You wanna know what it is... PRIDE! My Pride got in the way!"

Biscuit blinks "No games tell me which Pride!"

I groan "First Level of Hell Pride that one got in the way... I for once feared using my own strength... I hate the fact it's showing during training..."

Biscuit smiles "Better?"

I frown "No! I don't feel better. If anything. I feel like shit!"

Biscuit pokes me "Good! Because I'm about to make you feel real good!"

I blink as Biscuit retorts "What's so funny?"

I start to laugh "Choose your words wisely..."

Biscuit frowns "What words?"

I respond "Are you dense? Who's going to make who feel real good?"

Biscuit blinks "But I am..."

I look confused at Biscuit "You made a sex joke..."

Biscuit lifts her hands in frustration "I may look young but I don't keep tabs on teen language... jeez..."

I shake my head at Biscuit, as she lifts a fist "From now on! Until Killua and Gon beats Knuckle, you and I are going to have a serious training session! And we are going to train each and every one of your abilities, while they are active and inactive. Until you can knock out a guy while Sloth is activated!"

I frown "But that ability wasn't designed for attacking..."

Biscuit retorts "I don't care! After I'm through with you, you'll be able to do that!"

I sigh, holding out my hand "You have a deal..."

Biscuit goes to shake my hand as Killua and Gon burst through the door "We're done..."

I frown lightly "Well... that was unexpected... I guess-"

Biscuit hushes me as she walks up to Gon and Killua "There is no way you could have beaten him that easily..."

Gon sighs "Yeah... we kinda did..."

I walk up to them, speaking up "Let me guess while you were exchanging words. This guy Knuckle, undermined you. Gon showed his true strength and punched him... and judging by his... lifeless body. I would say he took the whole brunt of Gon's attack, thinking he could take it."

Gon and Killua blink "How did you know?"

I freak out from shock, finding out my guess was right.

I quickly cough "I'm a seer I can view all out comes!"

Killua taunts me "Bullshit!"

I sigh "Killua caught me... I could guess most of it. But Killua's face had some major hints. He got irritated when I mentioned Knuckle. And Killua gets irritated when people treat him like a kid... even myself."

I pat Killua's fluffy hair as he mewls "Stop that..."

I let go of his hair, turning to Biscuit "What now... we have 21 days to kill."

Gon interjects "We aren't ending it here! I want to be able to beat Knuckle on my own!"

Gon clenches his fist "It's not over yet!"

I look at Killua as he shrugs, like it's a typical part of his life.

The next day

As we're training Ren by Knuckle's bed. he stirs slightly.

Knuckle gets up as Gon smiles, looking towards him "Oh, are you awake?"

Knuckle sighs, looking towards Gon "You're stronger than I thought. Guess I underestimated you..."

Killua grins in triumph.

That seems to happen a lot these days... I think as Knuckle pulls out the block from his pocket.

He holds it "Why didn't you take this?"

Gon looks confused at that comment as Knuckle continues "You should've taken the token and ditched me."

Gon retorts "We don't want your token. We want the strength to defeat you in a straight-up fight."

Gon pauses for a sec "Could I ask you something?"

Knuckle nods "Sure, go ahead."

Gon asks "Why did you become a Beast Hunter?"

Knuckle looks slightly confused at Gon "Huh? It's a long story... And it brings back bad memories."

Gon asks another question "Then, why did you volunteer for the punitive force?"

Knuckle interjects "Simply put, to keep it from doing its job. I don't like the idea of cutting off whatever doesn't fit the mold. My teacher says I'm just a softy. But you can't judge something that you've never seen before... First you have to exchange blows."

Killua frowns at that comment.

I chuckle from Knuckle's comment "That's what got you landed in that bed."

Knuckle turns around, looking at Gon "You're a good kid. Now that we've fought, I see that."

I frown, thinking It was a one-sided match...

Gon smiles "You, too."

Gon points at the large mound in the bed as it moves towards Knuckle, revealing a small dog. Knuckle freaks out "You!"

Gon points out "He wouldn't leave your side. They say good Hunters are well-liked by animals."

I smile at the image of Knuckle, holding the dog by its paws.

I would dare say it's cute... but I can't bring myself to say it.

My brain shuts down, reloading all this images of Killua being in cute poses.

I scrunch my hair in frustration as my aura freaks out.

Killua waves his hands "Stop, stop!"

I take a deep breath, whispering "Damn you cute Killua..."

Killua turns red as Knuckle says something to distract him "S-Stupid! I'm not crying..."

Killua looks slightly amused at Knuckle as he continues to rant "Don't tell anyone! Or I'll kill you..."

We quickly end training on that note, grabbing a bite to eat.

Later

Knuckle goes crazy, picking off everything in front of him, swallowing the food whole like his never eaten in his life. Killua and I eat causally without a care in the world.

I spot Palm emitting a permanent evil aura, holding onto a knife.

I try excruciatingly hard to ignore Palm emitting that aura, as Knuckle exclaims "It's good!"

This calms down Palm as I sigh in relieve, continuing to eat.

Knuckle continues to wolf down food as he stops for a moment "Fight me any time you want."

Killua and Gon look up confused, as Knuckle continues to explain his reasoning "I'll give you as many tries as you want. But it's impossible for you to beat me in the twenty days left."

As Gon and Killua smile, Knuckle sips on his coffee "Good stuff."

I shake my head "It looks like I have other plans."

Killua looks confused as I respond "Biscuit wants to train me the hard way! So while you two fight Knuckle, I will be mastering my Nen abilities... through force..."

Killua nods as we continue to eat.

Time Skip

Night comes again as Biscuit smiles "Okay, three hours! All done!"

Gon and Killua pant, breathing heavily on the floor.

She shoos them off for their fight with Knuckle, kicking them out of the door "Well, then... Get going."

Killua and Gon takes their leave as Biscuit smiles mischievously, turning to face me "Don't worry I'll take good care of him Killua."

Killua stops in his tracks, suddenly running off.

I frown as I yell "I love you too..."

Biscuit smiles as I turn to her "That's mean!... I should only be the only one to tease Killua like that."

Biscuit lifts her fist "Well this is how training is going to go."

Biscuit changes her size, morphine into a massive over grown, macho woman, holding out her guard "If you tell anyone about this form... and I mean anyone!"

Biscuit crackles her knuckles "You won't live a second longer!"

I gulp as she smiles "First up let's work on Wrath you have a sufficient amount of Ren. SO focus on your hands and feet giving them each 25 percent each."

I nod as I do what she asks, holding out my guard "Now try and hit me hard! And no hitting me like a pussy, I can take them!"

I grin "Alright let's do this!" I throw the first punch, only to have it grabbed my hand, slamming me onto the floor like a rag doll.

She yells "I said hit me hard like you mean it!"

I jump up, doing as she asks, putting as much force as I can behind my punches. She blocks it "That's better but remember..."

Biscuit slams me into the floor again like last time "Keep your defences up, or I'll continue to slam you into the floor!"

I frown as we continue to exchange blows throughout the night.

We hear a click, making Biscuit revert back to her little child-like look.
