Reborn

Chapter 24

'I'm not useless. I ain't Sakura. I got dis!' I thought, giving myself a confidence boost. I gave the guy no time to react and run towards him. I kick as high as I can and make him faceplant the floor. "Holy-" I look over at the dude who was watching. I then see him type something into the small printer and say, "You can proceed to the 50th floor."

I hum, taking the ticket and walking back towards the besties. Gon was clapping with a smile while Killua had a scowl on his face. "You did it! See? I told you!" I let out a small "Heh." and give Gon a high five. I was pretty proud of myself. "Hey, what the hell was that guy doing? He just let you hit him." Killua said, staring at me.

"Actually, he was too busy being a... perv..." I trail off, seeing Killua's glare intensify. "I uhm... Got to the 50th floor. Let's hurry up and go." I said, quickly grabbing my bag and walking out first. I didn't know if the besties were following me, but I honestly didn't give a damn. Killua was mad and I wasn't wanting to deal with it.

           =====

~Killua's Pov~

I watch (y/n)'s match, seeing the man he was up against flush a bright red. "Gon... Are you seeing this?" I ask, smacking his back so he would watch. "Yeah, I'm watching. That guy must like (y/n)." Gon said. I uncross my legs and move forward a bit, hoping to get a better look. The match was over within 30 seconds.

(Y/n)'s opponent just took it. As soon as (y/n) kicked his head down to the ground, he won. That guy was too much in a daze to even fight back. I didn't understand why but it pissed me off. I glare as I see (y/n) walking back to us, looking over as Gon praises him. (Y/n) let's out a small "Heh." and gave Gon a high five.

Without hesitation, I said, "Hey, what the hell was that guy doing? He just let you hit him." I see (y/n)'s face changes to a look of disgust. "Actually, he was too busy being a..." I started to glare at the (h/c) haired boy intensely, clearly irritated with his opponent. "Perv..." (Y/n) says, finishing his earlier sentence.

I was really pissed off now that I have learned why (y/n) won. it was because that guy was having dirty thoughts about him. 'I could kill him.' I thought. "I uhm... Got to the 50th floor. Let's hurry up and go." (Y/n) said, quickly leaving first. I decided that if I ever saw him again then I would kill him. "Let's go Gon. Can't let (y/n) go by himself."

Gon nods, standing up and following me out.

           =====

"(Y/n)! Wait up!" I stop by the elevator, waiting for the two boys to hurry up. "Why did you leave first?" Killua asked, standing next to me. "Ermm... Who cares. I just want to hurry up." I replied, seeing the elevator doors open. The three of us walk in, not even noticing the small child also coming inside.

Well, Killua and Gon didn't notice. I glance at Zushi, thinking about how tiny he really was. 'He's so adorable...' I thought. I wanted to squeeze his cheeks. I don't pay attention to the lady who was kind enough to explain about the floors of Heavens Arena. I was in my own world, thinking about how cute Zushi was and also about eating a snack.

"So, that's how it works..." I hear, making me break my train of thought. I play with my fingers, finally hearing the small child speak. "I've heard once you get all the way to the 100th floor, they comp you your very own room!" Still playing with my fingers, the three of us stare at the boy behind us.

"Oh! I'm sorry, how impolite! Osu! My name is Zushi! And you?" I stare at Zushi, spacing out halfway through introductions. "What about you? What's your name?" Zushi asks, also staring back at me. "Who, me? I'm (y/n). Nice eyebrows by the way." I said, petting Zushi's head. "Osu! Thank you!" I chuckle at how cute he was in person.

I then notice a slight blush go across his face. We all finally hear a ding come from the elevator. I stop petting Zushi's head and walk out first, having the three boys follow me out. "Oh, I watched your fights earlier. You guys are amazing!" Zushi said, still walking along with us. "What are you talking about? You made it up here with only one match, too."

I sigh as the three boys' talk. I felt sort of left out, knowing I had nothing to add or say. I yawn, noticing that the boys have stopped. I guess Zushi asked what 'discipline' they practiced. "Not even (y/n) has one? You three are that powerful with no formal training?" Zushi asks, staring my way. He then bows his head, saying how he was humbled to be near us.

"Actually, I'm not as strong as these two." I said, placing my hands on my hips. "Don't say that. I saw you kick that guy to the ground! You are definitely strong!" I shake my head, not convinced. "But I've come a long way, I'm not finished!" I keep my hands placed on my hips, waiting for familiar things to happen.

I finally hear the clapping that I've been waiting for. Looking forward, I see Wing. "Zushi! You did well." The three boys' finally look behind, also seeing Wing with his shirt untucked. 'I used to think he was coming back from doing dirty things.' I thought, smirking to myself. "Thank you, Master!" Zushi said.

"I'm very happy to see you stuck to my teachings."

"Osu! I am honored! But Master your shirts untucked."

Wing then says sorry and tucks his shirt in. "Who are they?" I move my hands and poke my fists, distracting myself. "Oh, this is Killua, Gon, and (y/n)." As Wing introduces himself, I start to feel something drip down my face. Not paying attention to it, I hear the two besties say, "Osu!" copying Zushi. "Hey. Your nose is bleeding." Wing said, pointing at me. 

I quickly cover my nose, trying to stop the bleeding. 'Again...? What the fuck...' I thought. "Did you hit yourself?" Gon asks, placing a hand on my shoulder. "No..." I quietly say. This would be the second time it has happened. "It could be the weather..." I said, hoping I was right. Although, something was telling me that it wasn't the weather. 

That I should be worried. Forcing that thought into the back of my mind, I slide my bag off and find a random pink shirt that Akira packed for me. I use it to stop the bleeding. "Anyway, I really wasn't expecting to see any other kids here besides Zushi. So, what brings the three of you here?" Wing asks, staring at me with a little bit of worry.

I sniff, wiping the last of the blood. "I'll be right back. I'm gonna throw this away." I said. "Sure." I walk away, trying to find the nearest trashcan. "In my previous life, getting a bloody nose during a conversation is considered bad luck. Am I going to die or something?" I asked myself, finally finding a trashcan and throwing the nasty shirt away.

I sigh and walk back to the group, still seeing them talk to Wing. I stop and watch the two besties say "Osu!" again. I smile, chuckling at how cute it was. "Are you guys done? Can we go now?" I ask, poking Killua's back. "Yeah, let's go." I walk first, hearing them follow along...
