Nahida & Wanderer In HXH

°•°Coin Guessing°•°

The woman murmured words they couldn't comprehend with dark hatred. She turned to each of them, long, golden and straight earrings dangling from her sharp movements.

Nahida quickly spotted the young girl beside her, the purple kimono matched with the woman's dramatic and long dress.

Her face and neck were completely bandaged, leaving her pink lips and odd eyewear visible.

Right, Killua mentioned cutting his mother's face.

Then, is this woman his mother?

“Anyhow.” She flipped her wrist, opening the hand fan and using it to cover her lips. "I'm here to deliver Kil's words."

The little girl beside her stared at Nahida. Their pink eyes are sharp and cold. Giving off this sense of being observed, analyzed, and ranked. Nahida certainly didn't appreciate it…

The woman's tone was slow, gentle, and loving while relaying what Killua supposedly said.

"'I'm happy you all came here, but I'm sorry. I can't meet you right now.' That's what Kil says.” Her tone was lighter, maybe a bit happier now? “So, sadly- You can't meet him."

Gon stared right at the... Eye accessory she had, that singular red dot.

"We're not leaving without Killua."

Somehow, it seemed that dot frowned. Or maybe it was her harsher tone, showing her displeasure.

"Too bad, Kil is being taught a lesson right now and-"

Her red dot suddenly flashed brightly before dimming. She gasped, expression twisting, screaming angrily at nothing.

"Father! What do you think you're doing!? Kil just came back! He was starting to behave-!"

Her tight grip managed to snap the folding fan in half. She grinded her teeth together with so much anger, that Nahida was afraid to look away and eager to help her settle down.

"You two never involve me in anything! He just came back!! Father!!"

And suddenly, she deflated. Shoulders slumping and her head stared down at the floor in silence.

Kurapika and Leorio glanced at each other, Nahida felt that prickly gaze from the little girl on her once more and turned to her. Still a stare from eyes similar to Killua's even in a different color.

The madam grabbed her dress, turned around, and started running back to the mansion.

"Come, Kalluto!"

The child's body turned to face her, but their gaze was still on Nahida.

"Come!"

"Coming, mother."

Nahida blinked at their voice. It… Wasn't a girl's voice…?

Kalluto kept their eyes on Nahida until they ran inside the forest after their mother. Nahida frowned but kept her questions to herself. No one chased after them, focusing on the injured butler instead.

Wanderer placed Nahida beside Leorio. Who sighed in relief upon feeling the butler's pulse. She was simply unconscious.

Nahida looked over the butler, inspecting her frown and the small amount of blood trailing down her forehead.

"How is she?"

Leorio sighed and plopped his briefcase on the floor, swiftly opening it.

"She's fine. The bullet didn't enter her skull. Surprisingly."

She looked at the injury while Leorio bandaged it up. While she didn't know much about the weapon used, the noise alone was enough for her to know how strong it was.
