Chapter 1

"Ughhhh my headddd wait- where are we? Killua?"

"I'm here" Killua wheezed weakly. Gon rushed over to his friend to get a clear view of him. He had a clear wound on his stomach and was suffering from some pretty severe blood loss from what Gon could tell.

Gon quickly jumped into action. He pulled off his jacket and pressed it up against the wound and applied what he assumed to be the right amount of pressure based on his amateur medical abilities. "Hey, I know it's hard to stay awake, but you need to fight off the sleep. You're more likely to die if you fall asleep and Nanika's hard work would be in vain."

"Yeah I know," Killua responded, lifting his head up slightly to get a better look at their surroundings. "It doesn't hurt too bad, it could be worse."

"Just because you have a high pain tolerance doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt, all it means is that you can handle the pain well," Gon reprimanded. Killua slowly put his head back down and was clearly fighting the drowsiness that was likely overtaking him.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" A boy with purple scars covering a good amount of his body asked. He had black hair and what looked like staples that seemed to be holding his skin together. Gon didn't like him. But he might be able to help them.

"Gon, stand back," Killua rasped, trying to stand up carefully, pressing Gon's jacket up against his wound, though Gon just pushed him back down on the ground before moving to stand in front of Killua.

Gon let out a low-pitched growl that he didn't even know he was capable of. "You had better stay away or I'll make you regret it," Gon felt his back arch, like a cat or a dog that was ready to attack. Then he felt something furry brush up against his leg and his hearing became amazingly better.

"Well then, looks like somebody's got a mutation quirk, and quite a strong one at that. Say, what would you say about coming with me? I have some medical supplies that just might save your friend's life."

"What's a quirk?" Gon asked, his demeanor suddenly changing. He cocked his head to the side and felt something flop against his head. He remembered that he felt something up against his leg and turned to look. Sitting there attached to his lower back was a tail. His hands shot up to his head where he felt two ears. "What the- Killuaaa am I going crazy?" He turned to look at his friend.

"I-I don't think so- I see ears and a tail."

"Okay, looks like I've got my work cut out for me..." the boy sighed to himself. "Alright, help me pick your friend up and we can get going."

"I- okay," Gon moved to Killua's side, helping the man lift him up. "You tell me if it hurts too much. I don't care whether or not you can handle it, I want to know if it hurts more than it does right now."

"Yeah, yeah, I got it."

"Alright, you two ready?" The boy asked. Once he got a nod from both boys he lifted Killua by the legs while Gon got his arms. Luckily they managed to not make Killua lose too much more blood as they moved him into a door down the alleyway that they had been in.

"Where to now?" Gon asked as he closed the door behind him with his foot.

"Just through this door," the boy replied, nodding his head to a door off to the side, starting to turn so that they could fit through it. "Alright, now help me lay him on the couch. Stay here and I'll go get some medical supplies," he said before walking off.

"Do you feel okay?"

"Y-Yeah. What's up, do you smell something?" Killua asked when he saw Gon stick his nose in the air and sniff.

"Well other than blood I can smell something that seems to be food, and I'm hungry."

"Oooooo! You didn't tell me that they were almost my age!" A blond girl squealed loudly. "Hi! I'm Himiko Toga, though you can call me Himiko! Introduce yourself," she said, elbowing the boy that stood next to her, holding two bowls
