Reborn

Chapter 33

Wing finally claps his hands and says, "Listen to me carefully! You must keep your focus on containing your aura within your body. Now close your eyes!" As the two boys close their eyes, I could still see Wing staring right at me. I was definitely next. 'Is he going to do it after...?' I thought, wanting to tap something.

"Use any stance you prefer. Whatever helps you to maintain your focus. Visualize your aura flowing through you as if it were blood flowing through your body." Wing explains. The two boys are already getting it to stop flowing. I was kind of impressed. I would've been more impressed if this wasn't an anime.

I glance over at Zushi who was mildly impressed by it. "Impressive... I guess." I mumble out, now taking one step back. Wings' stare is seriously the worst thing ever. Why did he feel the need to stare at me so intensely? Fucking creep. His stare is making me question if I should just jump out the window or not.

I then see Wing's tiny smirk, making a shiver go up my spine. This was the scene where he was saying how incredible these boys are. "Now slowly open your eyes. Tell me how you feel." Wing says. I listen as Gon and Killua say how they are feeling, sort of ignoring the dialog. I was more nervous about being next.

I thought that Wing would do it right away. Why was he waiting? "I want you both to continue holding on to those images. Once you assimilate them, you'll be able to do this in your sleep." That was when Wing got into a stance, almost seeming to forget about my presence. Wing then outstretched his hand towards the boys', saying, "Next, I will proceed to emit malicious nen against you!"

I was honestly hoping that it wouldn't affect me. I was scared. I then felt a wave of pressure go all around us, forcing my body to go into shock. Needles, knifes, anything sharp you can think of was stabbing me all over the place. I quickly cover my mouth to silent any screams that I might accidentally let out. "(Y-y/n)? Are you okay?" I hear Zushi ask.

"Before your nodes were forced open, standing within this would've caused excruciating pain."

Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Wing. I then felt hands holding onto me, following by a concerned "H-hey!" from Zushi. By this point, I wanted to die. "Huh? Wing! Stop letting out malicious nen! You're hurting (y/n)!" Gon yells, sounding desperate. "Quickly!" Killua also yells out. I could briefly see the white-haired boy push Zushi out of the way and take his place.

"Master!" I guess they really did care about me. Wing finally stopped letting out his malicious nen, pushing his glasses up. I was a shaky mess, wanting to scream at the pain I was feeling. I felt Killua's grip on me tighten, hearing him whisper sweet nothings in my ear. It was like... Killua was trying to calm me down, possibly trying to take the pain away.

Not going to lie, it was working a little bit. Killua was also kind enough to keep me from pulling my hair. Off topic, but could he be my husband? "(Y/n), I can see that you're in pain right now, but I'll need to force the nodes in your body out as well." I hear Wing say, making me shake my head at a fast pace.

"N-no... Please don't! I-I can't-" I stutter out, now griping onto Killua's shirt as if it was my life source. "Killua, let him go." The boy holding onto me was hesitant in doing so. "I don't think this is-"

"Killua. It's to protect (y/n). If he goes on like this, he'll surely strain his body. You need to let go of him." Wing says, cutting the albino boy off. I slowly look up at Killua with tears now falling down my cheeks as the pain was becoming unbearable. Glancing back down at me, Killua's eyes showed how worried he really was.

"Come. Bring (y/n) here. Sit him down in front of me." I didn't have a choice anymore. Killua lets out a shaky sigh and helps me walk over to Wing, gently sitting me down on my knees, facing away from him. "I'll try to make this as quick as possible. (Y/n), try not to move." Wing says, hovering his hand over my back.

I watch Killua take a step back and slowly stretch my hand out, not wanting him to leave my side. Killua hesitates for a moment but stands next to Gon, nonetheless. "I'm forcing your nodes open now." I froze in place with my eyes widened, feeling lots of pressure going through me. It hurt. It hurt more than the nen being released at me.

I let out a loud cry, balling my hands into fists. Finally squeezing my eyes shut at the intense pain I was feeling, I start calling out to the boys' that were standing there, staring at me with widened eyes. "SOMEONE HELP ME!" I scream out. "KILLUA!"

"Don't come near him!" Wing exclaims, clearly telling the boys to back off. That meant they were trying to help me, right? The pressure was finally gone but the intense pain was still there. "His aura is... flowing out now." I hear Zushi say. I quickly stand up and back away from Wing, clearly scared of everything that was happening.

"(Y/n)-" Wing tries to take a step towards me but I felt a wave a fear and anxiety course through me. "Stay away from me!" I scream out, hurting my throat. "Wing! What did you do?!" I hear Killua yell, now quickly coming towards me. "Killua, don't go near him!"

"Shut up! (Y/n) shouldn't have to go through this! What the hell did you do, Wing?!" I take deep breaths, hoping to calm myself down. "I did what I did to you and Gon. I'm trying to help him; you need to stand back." Wing says calmly. "I'm not standing back! Not until (y/n) actually gets better!" Killua replies back, walking behind me and cautiously wraps his arms around my body.

I quickly grab onto his hand and grip it tightly, still feeling so much pain. As Wing sighs in defeat, I let out a groan of pain, leaning my body down to try and get the pain to stop. Killua's hold on me got tighter, clearly not wanting to let go. "(Y/n), I need you to relax. Clear your mind. If you don't get your aura to stop flowing, you may pass out from exhaustion."

I honestly could care less at this point. I didn't have the strength and willpower to even think about those images. I wished that I could pass out already. Breathing in and out heavily, I try to get my aura to stop flowing. "(Y/n), relax yourself. Those images I told Gon and Killua about, you need to think about it as well." Wing said, still sounding as calm as ever.

I close my eyes as I heave out short and heavy breaths, hoping that it would work. Why wasn't anything working? Was it me? Was I really not relaxed enough? My head was spinning. What else can I do? "I-I can't-"

"You can. Take slow and steady breaths. Relax your mind. Do whatever it takes to get those images into your brain." Wing then comes towards me and kneels down, taking my free hand into his own. Wing could feel my hand shaking as I looked into his eyes. "Follow along with my breathing. In and out, slowly." Wing says, basically walking me through a breathing exercise.

I start following along like he asked me too, taking slow and steady breaths. I could finally feel my body relax even with so much pain coursing through it. "Now, close your eyes." I do as told, gently closing my eyes, trying to think about those images. Was I doing okay? I felt like I had nothing to imagine. Was my aura still flowing out?

I wouldn't know. Why? Because I felt myself fall limply in Killua's arms, blacking out...
