Whispers of the past (Hunter x Hunter fanfiction)

Chapter 16

'Killua, what did you do? You're in big trouble now.'

The next match was Hisoka against Bodoro. They fought a while. Bodoro seemed quite skilled, but there's no way he could beat Hisoka. Hisoka gave him many punches and later whispered something in his ear. He was probably threatening him, since Bodoro surrendered after that.

(A/N: Sorry if the fights are in a messed up order. I just couldn't keep up and I got lost while writing this 😅 Also, if you don't really like Nightcore, you should listen to the original song. Sometimes I'm not in mood for nightcore, so that's what I do.)

Leorio's match was next. He was against Bodoro, but he requested that his match was postponed while Bodoro recovered.

The seventh match was Killua vs Gittarackur. I was sweating at the start of the match. The referee announced the beginning of the match. Killua started walking towards Gittarackur.

"It's been too long, Kil." The needle guy said. I was getting even more worried. Kurapika and Leorio probably noticed, although I don't think they understood why. Gittarackur started taking some pins out of his head, and his appearance completely changed. Now Killua was also sweating. Gittarackur - or Illumi - had long black hair and hopeless black eyes. I don't exactly know how I knew him. It's like my mind knows something, but it won't tell me. Killua stared at him with a look of fear in his face, but who could judge him? His brother was obviously way stronger than him.

"Brother..." Killua said.

"Hey." Illumi answered plainly. "I heard that you cut up mom and Milluki."

"I guess..." Killua replied nervously.

"Mom was crying..." Illumi paused.

"Anyone would cry if their son did that to them!" Leorio interrupted.

"Tears of joy." Illumi finished. Leorio fell to the floor. "She was so happy to see that you'd grown up. But she was worried about you leaving home, so she asked me to check up on you. What a coincidence. I didn't know you wanted to be a Hunter. I'm trying to get a license for my new job."

"I don't really want to be a Hunter. I just felt like taking the exam." Killua answered.

"I see..." His creepy brother spoke. He had a weird aura coming from him, and it was scary. "That's a relief. Then I have some advice for you. You're not cut out to be a Hunter. You were born to be... a killer. You're a puppet of darkness, without passion. You don't want anything or wish for anything."

"H-Hey! You can't speak about hkm like that! He's not your toy! He's a human! He shouldn't be treated like that! It should be fine for him to have a wish. Every human wants something!" I shouted at his brother.

Illumi ignored me. "As one who lives in the shadows, you can only feel pleasure when people die. That's how dad and I raised you. What would you accomplish by becoming a Hunter?"

"True, I don't desire to become a Hunter. But... I do have something I want..." He was sweating even more now.

"You don't." Illumi disagreed.

"I do!" Killua insisted. "There's something I really do want..."

"Tell me what it is that you want."

My silver-haired friend looked down. He seemed unable to speak.

"What's wrong? There's nothing you really want, is there?"

"That's not it! I want to become friends with Gon and Aiko..."

A/N: Soo. This chapter was a little boring. Nothing much. I wonder how Aiko knew about Illumi... Anyways, hope you liked this chapter! Thanks a lot for reading!
