Whispers of the past (Hunter x Hunter fanfiction)

Chapter 18

Unfortunately, I was correct...

Just before the fight between Leorio and Bodoro, Killua walked in, his nails now claws. 

"Killua, don't!" I was too late, and I knew it. Killua was behind Bodoro now. He dug his nails into Bodoro's back, killing him. His face and hand where covered in blood. Even his glimmering blue eyes lost their shine. "Killua!"

I was in the hall sitting on my chair. The chairman and his secretary were explaining something that was probably important, but I wasn't paying attention. The only thing on my mind was Killua. 'Killua's gone. He was disqualified. Is he okay? Where did he go? Can we get him back? Will I loose another friend? Will I loose all my friends? Will I be lonely without Killua? Oh, I hope he was alright.'

Then, the door slammed open, snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked at the door to see Gon looking very angry and frustrated. I got a little hope from looking at his bright eyes. The boy walked towards Illumi. 

"Apologize to Killua!" Gon shouted. Illumi turned his head to look at Gon. 

"Apologize? For what?" Illumi asked stupidly.

"You don't know what you did wrong?"

"Nope."

Gon clenched his fists. "You don't have the right to be his brother."

"Must I earn the right to be his brother?" Illumi looked back ahead, which pissed me off.

"Must we earn the right to be his friends?!" I shouted at his stupid, ugly face while Gon got hold of the assassin's arm and flipped him. Illumi landed perfectly on his feet. Gon squeezed Illumi's arm. I heard the sound of bones breaking. Hisoka looked curiously towards us, but I brushed it off. 

"Don't bother apologize." Gon spoke after a minute of silence. "Just take me to see Killua."

I looked at Hisoka for help, but he only smiled. 

"What will you do then?" The older male asked.

"Rescue him, of course!" I interrupted. "Rescue him from you and the despair you've put him into!"

"You're making it sound as though I kidnapped him..." Illumi said, again, stupidly. I couldn't take this anymore. If he kept on going like this, I might end up murdering him. I stormed out of the door. I went for a little walk, just to get away from the hall. When I was outside, I took out my phone. I dialed Shio's number. Luckily, he picked up almost immediately.

"Aiko! Hey!" He greeted.

"Hey..." I replied.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Uh... nothing. I was wondering... do you know who the Zoldycks are?" I asked.

"No...?" He answered.

"Look, if you don't tell me I'll find out what I want on my own."

"Fine. The Zoldycks are a famous family of assassins. They-" I interrupted him.

"Okay blah blah blah. Do you know where they live?" 

"Why do you wanna know where they live?" He asked, clearly seeming concerned.

"Just tell me." I ordered.

"Well, they live on Kukuroo mountain." He answered. It sounded a little familiar, though I can't place where I heard it before.

"Alright. Where's that?" I questioned.

"It's the mountain we see everyday. The huge- massive one here; in the republic of Padokea." He answered worriedly. My jaw hit the floor.

"I-It's THAT mountain?! And I've never known?! Killua basically lived in the same area as me, and I never knew?!"

"I... guess?"

"Well, I gotta go right now. See you very soon! Bye!" I hung up before there was any unnecessary talk. I walked back to the hall to notice that no one was there. I walked back out and looked for Kurapika, Gon, Leorio, and- just these three actually. Once I found them, I hurried up to them.

"Oh! Aiko! We were just going to ask Illumi where Killua went." Gon told me.

"Oh. I believe he went to his home." I said. "But we should ask Illumi anyways." Me and Gon left to find Illumi, Kurapika and Leorio following right after. Me and Gon finally found Illumi, so we all stopped.

"Hey! Illumi! Tell us where Killua went right now!" I ordered before anyone could speak.

"Hm? Why?" He asked.

"It doesn't matter. Where did he go?" I was not really feeling well today.

"He went home." He replied and looked away.

"Thank you." I said and walked away.

"H-Hey! Aiko! Hold up! We don't know where Killua's home is!" Gon ran behind me.

"I know where it is. It's a long way from here, so we better get going as soon as possible." I instructed. We went to buy some tickets, and soon, we left to go get Killua. And we weren't going to leave without getting him back.

A/N: Been a while since I last updated... I think? But that's the usual anyways. I feel like this was a short chapter, but it would've been really long if I didn't stop it here. Anywho, thanks for reading! I'm already working on the next chapter. Bye-Bye!

Important Reminder: I don't own the anime, 'Hunter x Hunter', or any of it's characters :(
