As the sunlight hit his eyes, Gon covered his eyes. All he wanted right now was to sleep just a bit longer.

The fight with Goku had left him utterly exhausted of all energy…

...

THE FIGHT WITH GOKU!

Gon suddenly woke up with a start remembering the duel with his new mentor only to wince. He looked down to see that there were various bruises covered in scrapes around his knee areas. His arms also felt quite strained. The wounds looked clean, however as though they had already been tended to. As he was about to get up from the couch his stomach grumbled loudly, signifying his hunger.

"Looks like someone finally woke up, huh?" Someone said.

Gon turned around to see Chi-Chi. He smiled brightly at the woman.

"Hi Chi-Chi. What's up?" he asked.

Chi-Chi smiled gently in return.

"Dinner is just about ready. You could use some from the sound of things." She teased.

Gon scratched the back of his head bashfully before getting up and following Chi-Chi down the stairs.

"Sorry for being out for so long! Fighting Goku really took a lot out of me. Is there anything I can do to help?" Gon asked.

Chi-Chi giggled lightly, charmed by the gesture, before responding.

"That is sweet of you but no. Everything is already prepared. We were just waiting for you to show up." She said, reaching the living room where everyone was sitting.

"You hear that Goku? Even Gon offered to help me! You could learn a thing or two from such polite young children!" Chi-Chi teasingly ranted at her husband.

Goku sweat dropped, chuckling gently. He then beamed at Gon.

"Hey Gon! Sorry about knocking you out. Looks like I put a little more strength in that blow than I needed to!"

Gon waved his hand nonchalantly, as to signal that it was no big deal.

"Honestly, I'm kinda happy to hear that. That I made you use more strength than necessary, I mean. But you better get ready! Next time I won't make it so easy!" He declared.

Goku laughed. He then turned around to face Killua and his sister.

"You did pretty good too Killua! Some of those tricks you dished out really caught me off guard." Goku praised.

As Alluka waved hello at Gon, Killua sent his friend a small nod before responding.

"Your tricks were better old man. I honestly didn't know what hit me until it did." Killua grumbled as Gon sat next to him.

Gon looked at his two traveling companions.

By now it was most likely that Goku had found out about Alluka's lack of knowledge when it came to fighting. Killua, however, looked just as injured as he did. Knowing how intelligent Killua was, it was more than likely that he had made Goku struggle through some incredible strategic maneuvers. To think Goku was not only stronger than Killua, but also outsmarted him really showed just how incredible a martial artist he truly was.

The five sat down and began to eat.

"I am hoping you three managed to familiarize yourselves enough with the area after I told you about the rules yesterday." Chi-Chi inquired.

Killua waved his hand nonchalantly.

"You don't need to worry about that. Gon has the scent of a dog. He'll be able help us find the way back with very little difficulty." he said, completely confident in his friend's abilities.

Chi-Chi nodded, before going back to observing them.

Her opinions on the three were quite varied.

Alluka seemed like an innocent, cheerful, polite young girl around the age of her youngest son. However, from what Goku had told her, it would seem that there was more to her than just that. Despite her honest personality, there was a very deep darkness within that girl. Every Time someone was standing behind her, she somehow not only noticed, but quickly turned to face the person in question. Every time she did, there was a cold stare in her eyes. As if there wasn't a hint of emotion inside of them. Almost immediately afterwards however though, she would resume her normal personality, almost as if it was a simple trick of the eyes.

Gon had a very earnest, energetic and adventurous personality, which Chi-Chi found, had quickly charmed her. If she were to be honest, he reminded her very much of Goku, now that she thought about it. Both had very childlike personalities, an honesty that could not be quelled, similar animalistic features, from what Goku had told her he also shared his love for combat, (However it didn't seem nearly as potent or obsessive as her husband's), and both were very carefree. Something she found amusing was that Gon seemed to know far more social cues than Goku. other than that, there weren't many other differences. she only hoped that Gon wasn't as selfish as her husband…

Last but not least, there was Killua…

Whenever he was around his friend or sister, He was very quick to smile and had a rather caring personality, although he was rather quick to anger and had a sarcastic way of going about it. He didn't seem nearly as careless or airheaded as his friend. Whenever she or Goku were around though, he was very quiet, and seemed rather shy and easy to embarrass. Overall, he was very mysterious...

One thing Chi-Chi knew for sure, was that these three were definitely hiding something. They rushed outside to explore the area far too quickly for it to be out of curiosity and seemed as if they wanted to avoid any further questions.

Speaking of which…

"So, how old are you three?" Chi-Chi asked casually.

The three of them looked at her as they were eating before answering.

"I'm nine!" Said Alluka.

"I'm 12." answered Gon.

"Same as him." said Killua.

Chi-Chi smiled. So, she was right about Alluka.

"How funny. My son is the same age as you Alluka. Perhaps you two can become friends?"

Alluka perked up, "Yeah! That sounds like fun! I've never played with anyone my age before!"

Fascinating…

"Is that right? Why might that be?" Chi-Chi questioned.

"The two of us grew up in a small mountain village. There weren't a whole lot of kids around." killua answered quickly.

A little too quickly…

"Oh! Well what is the name of this village? Perhaps my husband visited it once. He used to travel a lot when he was younger, you know." Chi-Chi said

"It's called Kukuroo village." Killua answered.

Goku looked up.

"Huh. I've never been there before!" he said, mouth full of food.

Chi-Chi nodded. Before turning to Gon.

"I'm from whale island." he answered honestly.

Chi-Chi made a mental note to check all of those places out later.

Killua was now standing up, having finished his lunch.

"Hey you three, get some rest, tomorrow we start our real training!" Goku informed them.

"Right!" all three of them said, as they headed out of the house.

Chi-Chi stared after them.

Let the investigation begin.
