HEAVEN'S ARENA

It was finally their last day training in the tallest structure in the world, and they partly felt relieved that they were going to get a move on. But at the same time, it was also their last moment with their 2 good friends – Wing and Zushi.

It was a really sad goodbye, and they definitely did not expect that Wing (as he graciously revealed a little too late) was actually some sort of Hunter examiner as well. He admitted to them that he was reluctant on teaching them as a question of the dirty hands problem. They did not really get what that meant, but it didn't matter. But they were a tad offended, of course, but they knew they couldn't blame him for thinking that way of them– especially Killua. He still emitted that atmosphere of darkness, particularly when Gon wasn't with him.

In any case, they were going to miss the two and vowed to meet them again someday.

"Ja ne~!"

"Ousu! It was an honor meeting you, Ousu!"

"Likewise-Ousu!"

"See you again, soon!"

"Hai!"

And that went without a doubt. For their fates were definitely intertwined.

...

Gon and Killua went to the airport and then to docks, as soon as they arrived at a station. Gon was visibly ecstatic about her imminent homecoming, and considering how excitable she already was... it meant she became merry at the sight of anything.

"Whoa... That bird is flying much higher than before!"

"Oohh. That man's tall!"

"What an old building!"

"What a yummy ice cream~!"

"Kawaii..." she then finally said making the chuckling Killua turn to her to find out what she's gaping at this time. He blinked as soon as he did so.

She was looking at him.

When they stopped their tracks, she held out her hand and stretched her sleeves. It then paused in front of his mouth and wiped it. As she proudly showed him her ice cream-filled sleeves, she grinned.

"You are such as child, Killua." She stated making him blush slightly, but Killua was not going to back down so easily-

"Hey! I'm not the one who thought birds flying like they normally do are going unusually high..."

"Or the man just a little taller than Leorio was extremely tall..."

"Or an old building in an ancient town out-of-place..." He enumerated pompously making Gon laugh.

"I wasn't overreacting about the ice cream though, obviously." She mumbled jokingly as she looked at her sleeves, getting him flush even deeper. Gon really did have a knack for making him red without even trying. Killua sghed- he seriously wanted make her blush, but he knew that whatever he did would be a counter-productive revenge since... he'll probably feel even shyer than her. What could he do, though?

Kiss her?

He reddened-

"Yohohoho! What adorable children." An old man finally intervened. He was watching the interaction between the two children. He concluded that they were great friends, and they love each other very much – maybe even more than a friendly way. Okay- Scratch that, to a man his age it was pretty obvious.
