Again. I'm bored. I'm hoping you like this chapter. The title has truth in it, and you will want to know what the truth is since it's important to the story, (later on, except it's father than where I have updated, so no one will know until then.)
Chapter 7 TruthXThreeXTrouble
Gon woke up in the middle of the night after having that dream again. "This is the fifth time so far. Why does it keep happening?" he wondered and fell back. He had the dream three times the night before, and so far this night it was twice. It would have been third and sixth if he closed his eyes once more.
"Second time tonight," Killua yelled out. He was sitting in a tree, staring at the sky. He didn't need sleep since two days ago he did get some. "Seriously, what going inside your head?"
"Nothing," he murmured. He didn't even care about telling him because Killua would just tell him that it wasn't true or going to be true. He stood up and climbed the tree. He sat on a the other side, facing away from Killua as Killua turned towards him.
Killua looked over to Kei, who was still asleep. 'Good.' he thought. "Gon," he whispered. Gon turned to him slowly.
"What?"
"Take this." He handed Gon a note that sat in his hand. He read it once before sighing.
"Sersiously. I thought you started to trust her."
"I did start to, but when I found outー" Killua looked away.
"When did you find out?"
"Before you left the first time, when I still could use nen. I was going to tell you, but I forgot and now since I did remember, I wrote it down," he explained. "Its funny, she was expecting me to be surprised, but I kind of expected it. It started when you went missing that one day, when we both went searching." (You might not know, but I forgot to add the part where Gon went missing for the first time in a city. Kei and Killua argued, before searching. You know what? I'll just show you in the flashback here.)
It had been only a few days since they arrived. Kei was getting on Killua's nerves even though she wasn't doing much.
"I still don't get why you let her join. I told you-"
"Killua. I told you that this could be our only chance," Gon reminded. All three of them sat on a long brown bench, and Killua forced Kei to sit away.
'I hope he doesn't trust me because he knows about what I'm going to do in the future. If it is just a feeling, then I'm lucky,' Kei thought, finger on her chin. 'I should tell them to continue so I can get my plan over with.' She slid over, interrupting their conversation. "I can see how much you don't like me. I don't care though," she smiled, and Killua almost blushed.
"I told you to sit away," he first said. Gon was still blind at this time, and decided to get up. And somehow he started to walk when he would rather not. Why though? Killua was left arguing, and Kei noticed, but she didn't bother telling him.
"Oh, come one! You're the last person I can sit here and waste time talking to you. I thought you wanted to find the way out."
"I did, but I didn't want you to be the one. Maybe if you didn't have a massive amount of aura attached to you, I wouldn't find you looking like an enemy. I could tell from the beginning." That just made her laugh. "What makes what I said hilarious?" Her laughed continued, and she almost slapped herself. Jumping up, she stopped.
"I forgot to tell you. I'm surprised that you didn't notice the first time. It's just funny how much you find me annoying and untrusting, when you don't know my true identity. Now might be a good time, since you're only at the beginning. I can tell Gon later,"
"Gon later? He's right-" Kei just blinked.
"You must be blind as well. He isn't behind you."
Killua turned around immediately, in shock. "Wh..what? How could he just wander off like that?"
"Don't tell me. Maybe while we search, I can tell you about my true identity, hmm?" Crossing her arms, she grinned cat like almost.
"If it's not something that will bother me," he grumbled.
...
"You know how there are not just players on? I'm not actually a player." He didn't react, since he knew there wasn't something up with her. Sometimes when I tell someone that, they don't trust me ever again because they claim only players can help you. The creators programed me to act like a real player, and act like I joined. I have to lie to players that I'm actually a player, but also I am not allowed to help anyone complete the game. Only tips and information is what I'm allowed to give. I did that for years. And I look like a little girl who just started, but I don't age like normal people. So I am also programed to tell people I'm a twelve year old girl so no one will be willing to have me help, even if I tell them I have been playing for years." He still didn't react. "Back to when I saw you and Gon, I felt bad and thought you both would trust me. And Gon did so I was able to."
"I knew you were hiding something." His eyes searched all around, and he muttered under his breath, about how annoying this was.
"I knew I couldn't trust her," Killua told Gon. "I remember when I did find you though, I was lucky that she stopped since I knew enough."
"But even though she is not a real player, why can't you just trust her more?"
Killua sighed. "Do you remember when we first joined in Greed Island? The people and animals that were programed didn't really help us much or didn't help us at all. We had to rely on Bisky, who I could definetely tell she was a player. That's why with Kei, she might turn against us, or stop helping us sooner. Also she lied to us before."
"But she told you the truth and was going to tell me the truth. So why would that get her to stop? If she is willing to tell, she probably won't turn against us," Gon stopped him.
"But it could be the opposite. She probably wanted to tell us to make us believe her. She could be lying about some of the things she told me, like for instance, when she said she wanted to help us because she felt bad. That could be a lie. And also she might have picked us since she was "close to our age." Do you see what I mean? There are lots of possibilities." Gon was silent for a minute.
"I'm still going to trust her for now. You could be wrong about everything. Right now I will, but I can change my mind just so you know," he confirmed.
'Good then. You were going to find out at some point.' Kei was awake. She had been awake for awhile, and could hear them talking. That eavesdropper. Good thing it looked like she was asleep or else Killua would have done something. Since Gon trusted her, she was lucky. If he didn't her plan would go wrong.
Gon stayed up with Killua talking to each other as they waited for Kei to wake up. But she was asleep for a long time. She did end up getting up when Killua yelled. It was the perfect cover. So she lied that Killua was being loud and that it woke her up. He didn't believe her, but Gon did.
"Well then, shall we continue?" she grinned. Killua gave her the death glare. 'I understand now. Soon you will be separated, so my plan will work out perfectly.'
It was lucky for her, they were walking for awhile, since she had more than enough time to plot stuff.
As they continued along, Killua watched her like a dog the whole day glaring most of the time. She got so annoyed, pretending though, that she stopped. "Do you have a problem with me?"
"Are you sure you don't know why? You know why I'm suspicious? Do you realize what you have been doing to give out information. Its obvious." Killua yelled out.
"I don't know what you are talking about. I haven't done anything wrong," she lied. She didn't want Gon to find out about this. Killua figured it out, so now it would be harder for her to do something. Since Gon didn't know...well hopefully he wouldn't.
Was she really different than Gon thinks? Killua was possibly right. Trusting somone who is different than they say they are, shouldn't be trusted. That's what Killua thought. For Gon's thought, the only way to not trust someone is if they show they're evil like she could have done, and she had to change to come back to Gon's side. Killua was different. He was evil before about killing innocent people, but he was one of them that changed quickly. They had different thoughts though. But who's was better?
'I need to find a way to get rid of him,' Kei thought for a moment. 'Maybe I can kidnap Gon during the night and lie to him that Killua disappeared. Or I can do something to Killua, so he will leave with Gon knowing. Gon won't expect it, and he will believe Killua doesn't care about him anymore.' And then night came.
Kei closed one eye, and kept the other slightly opened to watch the two. Gon was asleep, but Killua was watching Kei each second. He didn't trust her anymore, so he made sure she didn't do anything. Since he was watching, she would have to wait until morning when he wouldn't expect it. The first idea wouldn't work, so she decided to do the one where she has Killua leave on his own.
Morning came. They finally continued until night came, when Killua would have to fall asleep. He had been up three days, so now he was tired. He sat in a tree and watched Kei more, but he started to close his eyes. 'No. I can't let her do anything.' His eyes shot open, but closed again. 'If I fall asleep, she will do something.' But he fell asleep.
'Now for my plan.' She stood up and slowly walked towards Gon. Right before she grabbed him, she checked to make sure Killua wasn't awake. But his head was hanging and his eyes were closed. 'Perfect.' She grabbed Gon and carried him throughout the game. 'At least the first plan actually worked.'
She made sure the area looked the same, so Gon wouldn't suspect anything. Then she went on the map, and pressed the button where the map would allow her to see where the other two went. 'There. Now he won't he able to find us.' She laughed silently and closed the map, returning to her plan. If he somehow found her, she would have to use her other idea and hope it would work.
As morning came, Gon woke up and only saw Kei standing up ahead. "Where's Killua?"
She turned and was ready to lie. "He left last night. I woke up and saw him walking away." She wiped away a fake tear. "I tried to stop him, but he started to run away."
'So, that's your plan. Seperating us, so you can do something to get rid of us.' Killua was watching. He woke up a little after Kei walked away, carrying Gon, and followed them. He hid just in case something happened.
He appeared as the conversation was interrupted. "I know what you are planning, stupid girl."
"Killua!" Gon yelled. "Wait a minute, I thought you said he left."
"Why would I lie to you? He did run away." Kei asked. "He's just trying to get you to run away from me. I know he doesn't trust me."
"I never said anything, even though it is true that I don't trust you. How would you know anyway?" Kei was silent then. "You were listening to our conversation weren't you?"
"So what? I wasn't going to do anything if you didn't trust me. It would be your fault if you couldn't get out if I really am trying to help. Don't get in my way. If you really want me away from Gon, then let me help him get out. That will help you instead of trying to get him away," she suggested.
"Killua?!" Gon interrupted. "I'm going to trust her. This is our only chance to get out. If you don't want to have her help you and you want to find your own way out, then do it yourself."
"Gon, you wouldn't-"
"I'm not going to have you in the way of her. I don't see any problem. If you are just going to stop her, leave," he said harshly.
He looked at Gon's face. It wasn't his normal one. His attitude was different. He never told Killua to leave before. Was his brain messed up? Or was he serious?
"Fine then. I'll leave. If you change your mind, then find me yourself." Killua face went down, and he gritted his teeth, more angered at Kei, the one who ruined it. But Gon realized what he just said and tried to get him to stop.
"Wait Killua, I didn't mean to-" he stopped, and looked at the ground. Then he looked back up and saw Killua father ahead. "Killua," he whispered. "Killua," he began to talk louder. "Killua!" He started to run. He tried getting closer and closer, but the more he moved, the farther Killua was. That's what it felt like. He stopped as Killua disappeared going into nowhere he wanted to go. If Gon wanted him to leave, he meant it. That's what Killua thought. Gon yelled it without realizing. He didn't actually mean it. But that was what Gon thought.
What was he going to do now?
The end is finally here. Thanks for reading. This is the end of arc one. It may be an end you didn't expect, but once you read the next chapter, you'll see how the story goes with the name of the arc. I hope you will like it.
I was rereading the end and I heard sad music playing. Oh, man! I was literally crying, no joke. Same thing with the first dream where Killua was walking into the light and disappeared. Somehow sad songs played while I was reading both. Do it too, because it makes the story better.
