Killua X Reader [An Endless Bond]

[42] Alliance

"Huh...? I'm fighting again?" Ryu sighed softly at Senka's news. "Seriously? Why did you have to make Killua choose who he wants to fight?" 

Senka shrugged. "I dunno, really. I just felt like it," she said matter-of-factly.

"Huh?!" 

Senka then burst into laughter. "Okay, that's not the only reason, though!" Senka calmed herself down as she paused to think. "Well... Killua's pretty strong compared to (Y/N) and Alluka, so I decided it would be better if he could choose!" She beamed at him.

Ryu crossed his arms over his chest. "You literally thought of that excuse just now, didn't you?" 

"No, I didn't!" Senka let out a forced laugh, as she began dragging Ryu back to the training grounds. "Anyways, Killua's waiting, so you go on ahead!" 

Ryu sighed once more. "Fine..."

While Killua waited for Senka to come back, moments of Ryu's Nen resurfaced on his mind, as he occasionally checked on you through the corner of his eye. 

"Killua!! We're back!" Senka yelled from afar, dragging the laid-back hunter along with her. 

Training his gaze on the two Hunters, he tilted his head, raising an eyebrow at Senka as he did so. "Just like I said, it's fine if Ryu doesn't wanna fight right now. I can fight you inste–"

"Don't be like that! I'm sure Ryu's itching for another chance to use his Hatsu! Right, Ryu?"

Ryu scratched his head. "Nope. I already showed what I can do. Isn't that enough?" 

"No, it's not! You may have shown your Nen, but you also didn't!" 

"What...?" Ryu frowned in confusion. "You're not making any sense." 

At Senka's words, Killua put a finger to his chin. "So I'm guessing your Nen ability has more to it than being an overpowered Ko attack?" He asked Ryu. 

"Uhh..." Ryu narrowed his eyes in thought. "...Yeah. You could say something like that. I'd rather not make things too complicated though, especially since it's just training for you guys."

Killua gave him a direct stare. "We'll see if I can make you eat those words."

You would have never expected this 'training match' to turn into something way more. 

With Alluka by your side, you were hiding behind some of the larger trees a good distance from the training grounds. 

Looking past the trees and the harsh winds that blew from where they were 'training', you managed to make out what was going on.

"Ugh, they're so fast! I can barely see what Ryu's doing, but I can't even see Killua at all except for his electricity trails!" you said to Alluka, narrowing your eyes. 'I knew Killua was incredibly strong, but I still wasn't expecting this!'

Alluka tried to shield her face from the harsh winds and dust with her arms. "I didn't know Nen could do something like this, but why isn't Senka stopping Ryu and Onii-chan?"

"I was wondering that, too... especially since she was quick to call off my training with Ryu." You sigh, remembering the difference in power between you and him as you look back at the scene. "But who knew Ryu was this strong? Killua too!" 

Alluka nodded. "If this is what it takes to be a Hunter, then we should really work hard, Onee-chan!" She beamed.

"I mean, I'm not planning to be a Hunter, but I agree!" you chuckle, looking once more at Killua and Ryu's battle. "They're not slowing down at all, though! Do you think we should be the ones to stop them? They're really starting to mess up the trees and everything..."
