Hunter X Academia

Chapter 7 - Eijiro Kirishima

Hay Y'all, sorry this chapter took so long I was really struggling when writing this. Thank you for being patient, here is your chapter.
___________________________________

(Gon's POV)
Everything is dark... but I have never felt better.

There is nothing but darkness but the clear and calm water below.

It's strange though, even though I should be confused about not knowing where I am, I feel perfectly fine. What happened anyway-...

... Killua

"Killua!!! Killua!!!" I began frantically yelling, hoping to find a trace of my best friend.

How could I have been so stupid!? I simply let both Killua and me get captured and separated and now..... I don't even want to think about what could have happened to him.

"Killua!!" I continue to yell, but it's no use. Wherever I am, Killua is to far away.

... I promised... I promised that I would not leave him alone 'no matter what' and I couldn't keep it.

... "Killua where are you?" I began to cry.

For some wired reason, my memory's are not suppressed here. I remember the lab, how Killua and I got to this strange world, and now I know what that wired feeling of emptyness I felt is.

But what good dose remembering Killua do now? I can't find him here. He's still somewhere back there and most likely doesn't remember me anymore. The thought of it makes me so sad.

And even if I managed to find him, what do I say then? Will Killua forgive me for leaving him behind? I just got him back, I can't lose him again.

"KILLUA!!!"

"...Why are you crying Mister?" A child's voice calls out suddenly. I turn around to see a little boy with black hair and red eyes standing right behind me.

"Hi there, do you know where we are?" I ask the boy softly. Killua thought me a bit about kids after he rescued Alluka.

"No, I don't know, I just woke up".

"Ah, to bad," I sighed. "My name is Gon Frecess, what's yours?" I ask smiling while holding my hand out. 

"Eijiro Kirishima, Nice to meet you Gon." Eijiro shook my hand happily. "So are you the one who Mommy and Daddy said will make me feel better?"

"I.. don't think so?" I responded, confused by the Eijiros question. "Are you sick?"

"Ya, I don't think I can last much longer ether." Eijiro looked down in sadness.

"What do you mean?"

"Mommy and Daddy say they can help me, but I think they lied... I don't think I will get to see them again"

"WAIT-WAIT... are you saying that your dying? Are you sick? I ask slowly, trying hard to wrap my head around what Eijiro is trying to say.

"I think so... at least that is how it feels like." He responded, not really sure.

Suddenly a wave of energy came over both of us. Wile I stood my ground, I saw flashes of memories fly in front of my eyes. But these were not my memories... I think... they belonged to Eijiro.

The memories told the story of a black haired boy with a Hardening quirk. Who he is, how he acts at home, and what makes him who he is.

The things I saw were just memories for Eijiro. But I, who have spent the last five years in a lab, felt like I was finally seeing what this new place Killua and I found was really like.

So many cool types of people with so many awesome abilities. I wanted so badly to go and explore this new world.

... But first, I have to find Killua.

When I looked to Eijiro to ask a few questions about the outside world, my excitement died in my throat. Eijiro was disappearing. His body was becoming transparent.

"I was right, I won't be able to see moms or papa anymore." Eijiro said sadly.

"Wh-what!?... what's happening to you!?"

"You saw my memories right? I also saw some of yours. It was about something called Nen and someone named Killua. He seemed like a nice friend, wish I could have met him."

"Have you seen him!?"

"No, but I think I know what is happening."

"Really!?, what is it?"

"Well, you are as-ab-absorbing me." Eijiro spoke slowly so he didn't say the words wrong.

"What dose that mean? How can I help you?"

"You can't, I'm not strong enough to keep myself alive, I can feel it. And the Quirk used on you and your friend Killua is keeping your memories and personality locked away."

"I see," my dumb self figured it out for once, cause I could feel it to now. Eijiro didn't half to say anymore.

My stupid Nen is absorbing him and his Quirk. When I wake up, I can feel that I will look like and behave like Eijiiro Kirishima. I'll be able to use his Quirk and it will probably stay that way until the Quirk keeping me and Killuas memories locked away is gone.

"I'm sorry" I told Eijiro. "I'm sorry I'm doing this to you."

"It's ok Gon," Eijiro responded. "I think I knew for a long time that I wouldn't be able to keep going. But I'm glad I got to meet you"

"Please tell me Eijiro," what do you want? What is your dream?"

"My dream?...... I want to be a hero... like Red Riot." Eijiro looked down with a small blush.

"Ok, then I will make sure we will be a hero."

"Thanks Gon" Eijiro said those words with a smile, then completely disappeared. And the world once again became black.

**************

(3rd Person POV)
The glow coming from the two boys slowly began to dim. And Eijiros condition quickly became much better.

"Th-thank you Pro-Professor," Mrs. Kirishima was sobbing.

"Here y- you go sir, t-thank you," Mr. Kirishima chocked while he gave him the money and left with his wife and now healthy son.

As Professor X went back to the lab, no one remembered that there should have been another boy lying on the ground after Professor X was done using his quirk.

Still Mr. and Mrs. Kirishima went home that night. Not knowing that they didn't really take their son home, but instead they unknowingly adopted another. But this fact would remain unknown to anyone for many years to come.

The only change that people noticed after Eijiro Kirishima(Gon) recovered, was that there was now a ring of Hazelnut-Brown around his normally red eyes.
