Chapter Forty

On the way down the hallway, Gon suddenly grabbed Killua's hand.

He didn't know what he was doing.

At all.

What's going on? Why is he holding his hand? His face quickly turned a dusty rose color as he scratched the back of his neck with his free hand.

But what he didn't know was that Killua's own face was bright red, reaching up all the way to his ears.

He was malfunctioning. He holding his hand? Hand holding? Holding hands? Palm against palm? Walking.. holding hands... Gon.. Killua spaced out with his jaw hanging slightly, going over the same words in his head over and over again.

But before they could really comprehend what was going on, a loud voice boomed behind them and they jumped apart from each other.

"Young heroes!"

They both turned around to see All Might towering over them with his ear-to-ear grin and largely defined muscles.

"You did wonderful Young Killua! Congratulations!"

Killua lowered his head and have a slow and sad nod. All Might completely ruined it.. He didn't even sense him because he was to caught up in his thoughts.

What was he doing anyways?

They were walking.. Gon grabbed his hand.. All Might... Wait.. Grabbed his hand?!

Killua just awkwardly stepped back a bit, face burning bright with a new passion.

"Uhm.. I.."

Before he could finish, he just farted starjght to his left and and slammed the door behind him. He didn't care were he was.

He sank down to the floor and held his burning face in his hands.

Words could not describe how much he liked Gon.

He sat for a bit before standing back up and dusting his pants off. Quietly, Killua walked back out of the room in a composed manner before apologizing to a stunned All Might before walking away.

Gon ran to catch up.

"What was that?" He asked.

"Nothing," he responded, cheeks still slightly pink.

Once they got to the observation deck, they looked at the board.

Todoroki vs Aoyama
Iida vs Hatsume
Aliya vs Tokoyami
Kirishma vs Tetsutetsu
Bakugo vs Uraraka

"Next," Modnight yelled in anticipation. "We have... Shoto Todoroki and Yuga Aoyama! Please come down!"

After two fights, one between Todoroki and Aoyama, and one between Iida and Hatsume, the two that came out victorious were Todoroki and Iida.

After a few breaks issued by the teachers and a group trip down to the room where an injured Aoyama resided, it was time for Gon and Tokoyami's fight.

"Hey!" Killua called after him as he exited, scooting forward a bit in his chair. "Don't loose."

Gon gave a large grin and followed Tokoyami down to the arena.

The crowd was whooping and hollering as Midnighr announced the two of them in an obnoxiously loud manner.

Killua sat back a bit in his chair and began observing Tokoyami's movements as a part of his assassin habits.

Of course, Gon made the first move as he usually refuses to sit back and watch his opponent. Tokoyami quickly let out his dark shadow and clashed with Gon, but was immediately thrown off balance.

Gon was holding back, but he accidentally pushed a bit too hard.

He murmured a short apology and began attacking again, pinching faster then dark shadow could combat.

Gon swerved around him, knocking him back and sending him into the ground before continuing up to his host.

"Heya!" Gon said cheerfully while walking up. "Sorry about this, but I hope you don't mind if I don't hold back." His voice dropped as he spoke again, "I never hold back in a fight."

Tokoyami felt shivers run down his spine as he began to dodge back, but was immediately swept off of his feet and hurling a few feet away.

Gon kept walking, ignoring how Tokoyami was clutching his ribs. If he had learned one thing in the assassin business, it was to never show unneeded mercy.

Before Tokoyami cools scoot back, he was slammed into the ground by Gon's fist, leaving a large crater.

People sat on the edge of their seats as the peered through the settling dust to Tokoyami weakly spitting blood through his beak.

Gon began to ready his leg for a kick when something slammed into his side, throwing him off by a few feet.

Dark shadow was digging into his side, trying to push him further away from Tokoyami.

Gon drew up his knee as quickly as possible, ramming it into dark shadow's stomach making him tumble a few feet away.

Gon turned to look for Tokoyami, but realized he was no longer there.

Where did he go?

His thoughts began to center on sounds and feelings cultivating around him, waiting a watching for Tokoyami to attack. He knew he was behind him somewhere.

Suddenly, Tokoyami jumped onto his back and began trying to pummel his side in a back in Funtime attempts to  make Gon surrender. But before Gon could do anything, he felt a strange presence that he knew he felt before.

This feeling.... with the portal... the strange writing on his hand.. it was the same feeling.

He threw Tokoyami out of bounds quickly to end the fight and glanced up at Killua.

But Killua was already busy enough, staring at the strange, burning writing etched into his skin.
