Neb: I do not own Hunter X Hunter. The rode of achieving true strength is a tough one, but one that is necessary to becoming a Hunter.
Yujima kept watch over the city from the rooftops, same as he did when Minaga and he were hunting the Dojo master. Yane was behind him keeping watch for any enemy that might jump out and attack him. Though Yujima doubted anyone would target him. At least, that is what he thought until a familiar individual showed up behind them.
"Yujima my friend," a brown haired boy spoke up. "It's been a while."
Yujima's eyes widened as he stared at his old childhood friend. "Arisho!"
"You know him," Yane spoke up. She stared down at the young boy and realized he looked like a younger version of Minaga."
"What are you doing here Arisho?", Yujima wondered.
"That's all you can say," Arisho growled under his teeth. "After you and my brother left on your little vengeance quest! I haven't seen you two in a year. Not to mention you started hanging out with my older brother a lot more when we were kids."
"He.." Yujima caught himself when he realised he was about to throw Minaga under the bus. Afterall, Minaga forced Yujima to train under him when they were kids. "He is my mentor," Yujima explained. "I looked up to him and started following him up his favorite hiking spot. I didn't want to leave you behind, but you weren't in to mountain climbing."
Arisho laughed at him which caused Yane to get nervous. The albino Amazoness got into a fighting stance as she stood between Yujiman and Arisho.
"Buzz off," Arisho growled at her. "Yujima, you were always a bad liar. That is why I followed you and my brother up the mountain when we were kids. Neither of you even noticed me. While my brother learned Nen from spying on a Dojo master, I learned it by spying on you two." Arisho waved his hand over his shadow and a black long skinny sword begun to extend itself out of his shadow."
"Your a conjurer," Yujima realised. "I hate to tell you this, but Minaga explained to me the Conjurer's weakness. They can't conjure to many items without overextending their imagination and they can't make a better copy then the real thing."
"This is the real thing," Arisho scoffed. "This is one of my father's swords! After he died, I decided my ability was going to be to call for the weapons he made with his swordsmith's hammer. It doesn't matter how far I am from those weapons, they are my kin and they are filled with my father's Nen, so they will appear to me."
"Lower your weapon," Yane growled under her breath.
"Don't be an idiot," Arisho pointed out. "You can't hurt me, or else it will lower your pay."
"You've been hired for this job also huh," Yujima realized. "That makes you a rival."
"Your damn right it does," Arisho explained. "I am a lieutenant of the Red Diamond Knights now. They are my new friends and family."
"What about your mother you heartless bastard?", Yujima growled. "You were suppose to stay with her."
"You guys left first," Arisho yelled back. "Don't you try and paint me as the bad guy! I have lived in my big brother's shadow my entire life. I thought the one person that I had by my side, that he would never take away from me was you! But you left me, and then my father died. Then the two of you left town to go on a vengeance quest that nobody even asked you two to partake in!"
"Minaga's brother is way more of a talker then he is," Yane sighed. "List kid, we are on a job, you are on a job. How about we cut this meeting short and you go back to your organization."
"I said this doesn't concern you," Arisho growled. "Now be a good girl and back off!"
That was all it took for Yane to lose her cool. She was a proud Amazoness and would not be belittled by any man or boy. Yane leaped off from the ground towards Arisho whom sent her flying back without a second thought. "What the hell?", Yane spoke up. She had noticed a pulse of energy had emerged from the sword Arisho was carrying.
"Do you understand," Arisho spoke up as he held onto his father's sword. "My father was an enhancer. Every sword he made he imbued them with his special power. I am able to draw from my father's nen within these blades."
"Incredible," Yujima gawked.
"This sword is called Shadow Beat," Arisho continued. "It represents the force behind my father's hammer when he brought it down onto each of his precious blades."
Yujima used Gyo on his eyes and noticed a grim reaper with a black scythe that was forming next to Arisho. It's aura flowed out of the black sword like that of a genie. "Yane, back away from him. Your not fighting one person when you fight with Arisho. It appears that the blacksmith Moradasu had left behind entities within each of the blades."
Yane used Gyo and saw what he meant. "That's crazy, that must cost a lot of concentration."
"It did," Arisho explained. "Forging weapons was all my father knew how to do. That was the cost of learning such an amazing ability."
"As I stated Arisho," Yujima explained. "I don't want to fight you and I think you should go home. Your connection with your father's swords is incredible, but that's why you should have inherited his anvil, not the swords he made with it. Minaga would lose his mind if you got yourself hurt... or worse."
"Where is he?"! Arisho growled. "Where is my brother?!"
"He isn't here," Yujima stated. "He is out being a good hunter. You are here, wasting all of our time, being a bad hunter."
Arisho scoffed and then turned around. "Fine, I understand our friendship is over Yujima, but just so you know I am goind to drag my big brother back home!" With that Arisho had left the roof.
"Good luck with that," Yane rolled her eyes.
"You better of not costed our group money Yane," Yujima yelled. "What were you thinking?"
"Hey," Yane yelled. "By my honor, I had no choice but to attack. He talked to me like I was a lesser individual. Besides, he should be the one who gets a pay cut, he totally wasted our day!"
Yujima noticed the sun was setting and nodded. "Hopefully the others had better luck. We will come back to the roof again tomorrow."
Yane nodded and the two of them left.
