Aria bit her lip. It was a habit of hers that came and went. They were getting ready to enter the bus for the USJ, and Aria still had no idea why she was so nervous.
They began to enter the bus and Killua walked over beside her, "Whats up?"
Aria stopped chewing her lip, "Nothing."
Killua shrugged and went over to sit beside Alluka, but Aria grabbed his shoulder and pointed at Kalluto. Killua grudgingly sat beside Kalluto.
Kalluto narrowed his eyes, "Oh hello, 'brother'."
In her seat Aria smiled silently.
Alluka looked around nervously for Killua, and Aria patted her head to reassure her. Alluka had gotten Ren, Zetsu, and Ten barely mastered, and was working on Gyo. She was talented though, and Aria figured it would take her less that a year to master it, if Aria kept on teaching her.
Not much had happened in the days they were training. Midoriya, and the gang had warmed up the the 'Andos' and the class had gotten used to the Zoldyck boys. Alluka barely slid past her classes with her Nen comprehension, and the only thing the rest of them struggled with was keeping their powers in check.
But the USJ was different.
"Athena, you look tense."
Aria smiled again, "Its fine."
Alluka shrugged, "Okay."
The bus dropped them out. Aria thanked the driver before joining the Zoldyck gang. She was surprised to see Todoroki sticking relatively close to them. He probably figured that they wouldn't try to talk to him.
And he was right.
Kalluto POV:
If there was anything that Kalluto had learnt from this trip to another world, it was that during it, there was only one person to rely on. Aria.
When in doubt, go to Aria.
When Aria says, 'trust me', trust her. She knows what's going on. Even Killua understands that.
Out of all Kalluto's siblings, Aria was the best. And she wasn't even related. Which is actually pretty depressing if you ask him.
Some part of Kalluto wanted to call her 'Athena' like Alluka did, but felt that he didn't know her well enough for nicknames. Which is also pretty sad since they lived in the same hut.
After 13's little talk, Aria led them into the room. Kalluto noticed Todoroki was trailing them, so as a result, when they followed a group in the entrance, Todoroki and the people following him closed in behind them. Kalluto hated crowded spaces.
"Isn't this place cool? Aria?" Mina asked, though Kalluto couldn't remember if the two had ever been close.
"Yeah, its even prettier in color."
Killua glanced her direction, "Yeah, its alright."
Kirimashi's eyes widened, "No way? Alright? Look at it! This place is huge!"
Killua and Kalluto glanced at eachother like: can you believe this guy?.
Clearly, Kirimashi had never been to a proper mansion. Kalluto caught Killua catching Aria smile a bit.
Suddenly there was a rumble. Here it comes. Kalluto looked and saw the portal that was a person.
He immediately noticed the bird, metal thingy portal, and the disintegrate person. They weren't as impressive as he had thought or hoped.
"Villains!" someone gasped.
Suddenly, Kalluto noticed that Aria was glancing around, panicked. If Aria was in panic, then it was bad news. Kalluto wasn't paying full attention as Bakugu and Kirimashi lept at the portal guy, but Aria grabbed Killua and yanked him to the side.
