I don't know how I didn't notice this, but I skipped some stuff. Luckily this chapter was a little less than two thousand, so it won't be close to three thousand, since I'm trying to keep this at two thousand words.
Chapter 6 MountainsXAloneXDream
He attempted to find his way up. Normally he would have used his senses and follow one of the two up, but now he had no one to follow, and he didn't get to see the way. All he knew was that going up was the most important way, the one you would have to do to reach the top.
After miles of walked, and probably hours, he found the small house sitting up top. His gaze only set on the house, and he ran up to the top, bumping into the outside wall to stop.
Catching his breath, Gon sat on the ground, starting his wait for someone to come. Either Killua or Kei would have to show up, at least one of them before he got up.
He didn't move, nor think about moving. If he did move, the searching would be most likely take longer, and Gon started to hate searching, since it kept him away from the two, and he would end up disappearing again, which would cause even more searching.
His eyes began to close, and he fell asleep, dreaming of what seemed like the future because of how realistic it was and that it hadn't happened. But he was still in the game, dream or not.
He had walking in the game with Killua, surrounded by blank whiteness, well somewhat ahead. He was still in the game, but it didn't seem like it.
They had been walking, Killua continuing to walk ahead, while Gon stopped. Killua looked ahead, not even thinking about anything, not even thinking that he was walking, or that he was looking ahead of him. Gon only gazed at the ground and stared at it. Killua only continued to walk away.
Gon's gaze turned into looking at Killua, who was leaving him alone. He began to speak. "Killua," he mumbled. "Killua," he began to speak louder, but softer. He started walking towards him, trying to catch up. "Killua!" He started to shout, trying to grasp his shoulder or something to get his attention. "Killua!"
Killua kept walking straight ahead, still not stopping. Gon ran and ran, but couldn't catch up. No matter how fast he went, Killua would be far from Gon.
"Killua! Killua!" He yelled over and over again. He kept on running, but he was running to nothing, thinking he was still trying to catch up to him.
Killua stopped, and Gon ran up to him, and went next to him. Killua's face was hanging down, and he stopped moving.
"Killua," Gon said softly to him. Killua didn't move his head up, but instead he walked off, his head looking at the ground.
"Killua," Gon stared over at him, still seeing Killua walk away, but he didn't move. He disappeared, light covering his image and Gon only stood there, eyes verging to tears.
Gon suddenly woke up in a bed, lifting himself up quickly. "What happened?" he asked himself. He was in a bed, somewhere he didn't know of. "Where am I?"
"Oh you're awake," a familiar voice came. Gon looked around the room, and saw a girl, with two braids. She sounded familiar, but he wasn't able recognize who she was. "Gon! Did you hear me?"
"What?" Now he was confused for some certain reason. "I mean...yes...but I don't really-" He couldn't finish his sentence.
"I know what you are going to say. Don't worry," the girl went, smiling softly, but it stopped. "But be careful about your condition."
"What conditi-" Gon moved a blanket that was on him, off. His eyes widened and he felt sick. There, in his chest, were bandages, and blood was bleeding through. "What happened...to me?"
"It's something...you shouldn't know," she almost couldn't say it. "Killua is...worse."
"Wait...Killua's here?" he started to become excited, but more anxious and worried. "Bring me to him."
"You can't. And you may be wondering why, but I can't tell you," she explained. "He told me not to."
"Who told you not to?" Gon wondered.
"I'm sorry." Then she left without saying another word.
Gon tried to get up, but couldn't. He was in pain, and he didn't even know what happened to Killua, wherever he was.
He fell back into his bed, and didn't even bother trying some more, to get up. He laid there, in which it felt like hours.
"Gon!" roared a voice. Gon eyes shot open. He had been dreaming about what he thought happened to him. "Gon!"
He looked up, and a girl appeared. The same one from his dream. "Huh," he mumbled.
"Finally you're awake," the girl was relieved. Gon stared at her in slight confusion. "Oh, I forgot. You haven't seen me yet. It's me Kei."
"So, it was...you," He murmured, realizing.
"What do you mean?" she wondered.
"Nothing. I was thinking about something." He had thought of his dream, how Kei had been in it, but he didn't know it was her at first because that was the first time seeing her.
"We need to tell Killua that I found you. Come on."
Gon had forgotten that he was searching for Killua and Kei. "I fell asleep, didn't I?"
She blink, then responded. "I came up here, and saw you sitting here. But Killua's not here because he went searching for you in other places. I told him to meet me here, just in case he found you. But I didn't expect you to come up here."
"I searched everywhere, but here. I didn't want to search anymore, just in case one of you went here," Gon told her.
"Let's go anyway." She finished off, walking in the direction Killua was, and Gon stood up and followed her.
They began walking down the mountain, where Gon was still thinking about the dream, the first one, where Killua had been walking away. Did it mean anything? Had it been something in the future? And then he thought about the second part, with Kei in it.
Why was she in it? And even if it would come true, what was wrong with Killua? Did something actually, or eventually, happen to him. He didn't know, but he hoped the two dreams weren't true, like they had been visions. But now that didn't matter. Finding Killua, mattered more.
They reached the end of the mountain, reaching the first town. Killua had alreadly been there. He probably searched in every single town already. Hopefully he checked again, and he hadn't been there yet.
"Ah, I wish there was a way to send him a message somehow," Kei wined, checking for any possible thing that could help her tell Killua about what happened.
They had been walking one way, and Gon was wondering if he could just search himself.
"I'm going to check somewhere else. Is that okay?" He made sure she would be willing. "I don't think walking in one direction is helpful."
"No! We don't want to have to search for each other again. I can assure you, even if it is faster, it might take longer for all three of us to meet up again." She was tired of this searching problem.
"Well, maybe there can be another meeting spot. And every half hour, we go back and wait for awhile. I might be able to find Killua before that long," Gon suggested.
"I don't know. Something might turn out wrong," she admitted. "But I do want to try it, just in case it works."
"Then I can?" Gon became excited. "Then how about-" He opened up the map. "Here!" He pointed in a random spot that hadn't been marked. "I will go there, and begin searching, while you begin searching."
"Why?" She asked and then looked back. "Oh. I see."
"Okay then. I will go." Closing the map, he began to jog away.
"All right then. I'll go then." Then she ran off.
Gon ran west, where that line had been, then north, and stopped until he got far enough. A new area was marked, and now all three of them could see it. "There, Killua should see now."
Killua had looked everywhere. He thought he was lucky enough that he would find Gon in that tunnel, but he didn't see him even once all the way to the end. And every town, and place that was marked didn't have anyone but the few players and the characters programmed. Maybe he could go to where Kei had told him, just in case she had found him.
He walked to the mountain, and began climbing up. A third of the way up, Killua passed Gon and Kei, who were far on a different part of the mountain. He got half way up, and Gon and Kei were starting to depart, and try the idea Gon had.
He finally got to the top, finding the house, which was empty. "Of course." He sighed, and opened his map. "What?" A line was moving north, but stopped. 'Are Gon and Kei there?' he thought for a second. "But why would they go there?"
Killua began to run down the mountain. He began to think more. "If they were searching for me, why would they do that? Is there a reason? Or is something wrong with the map?" He continued running down the mountain. "But are they with each other? Or did they even find each other?" Killua checked his map, and the spot got bigger. "No there can't be something wrong. If it was glitching, it would do it again."
He reached the bottom of the mountain, and ran north west, where the spot had been. He got closer and closer, and checked the map once more. He was close. Someone should have been ahead. He looked back up, and continued running. A face appeared. Someone was sitting on the ground in front of him. Gon had been there!
"Gon!" He yelled and Gon looked up from where he was.
"Killua!" He waved, and then stood up.
"Did you purposely do this?" He asked.
"I thought you might notice, so I did this. Kei went somewhere else to check, just in case she found you, but she should be here soon. I told her after half an hour that she needed to return, and she should be coming by now," Gon explained. "But we have to wait here. She should know I'm here, so I have to stay."
Kei maintained her way to other places around. By this time, half an hour should have passed by.
"So, how long do you think it will take?" Killua asked as sat down with Gon.
"She should be here soon," he answered.
Checking the map, she noticed the extra line Killua made, smirking. "Now my plan shall begin."
"What are we going to do now?"
"I haven't thought about that."
Rushing, she went her way to the spot she was told to go by Gon.
"Well," Gon continued, "if we want to complete the game, we have to continue immediately when we meet back up and hope we progress more to the end."
Kei left the first town, and a field appeared.
"I don't think we've progressed much since we left the mountain for the first time."
"But that shouldn't stop us."
Kei ran faster and faster, but suddenly landed a stop in her tracks.
"As long as Kei is with us, it should be easier to finish." He was sure that was their answer to getting out, but Killua didn't agree like he always did.
Gon's head turned after the thought, and Kei appeared. "As planned." She walked over to them and sat down too.
"You both planned on doing this?" Killua was in some sort of confusion. "Did you know I would come?"
"I assumed you would check the map, so Gon purposely went here, so you would realize that both of us would meet you here," Kei explained.
"Well, at least it worked. Anyways, what are we going to do know?" Killua turned to Kei, guessing she was the one to answer. "We were discussing this before you got here."
"My idea, since we found each other again, I think we should continue forward. It's has been a week and a half, so we are behind," Kei explained.
"That's what I thought, but I'm getting the feeling something is going to happen again." Gon began to worry.
"Well, if we stay together, that would make things easier," Kei pointed out. She raised up from sitting. "We should stop wasting time anyway. Let's begin!"
The time I edited this, it has almost been two months since I updated the last chapter. (chapter 14)
I wonder what you think of this chapter. I almost changed it, but I decided not to since the story to it was fine and that it only needed to be reworded.
Come one! You are almost done with arc one. Continue on if you want to see the end of the first arc. (it's not much though)
