Reborn

Chapter 38

I stand with Killua and keep my eyes on the Tv, hearing the crunching noise of the chips the boy was eating. "I wonder if you can hear your own thoughts with that much crunching going on." I said while the white-haired boy gives me a small glance. An annoyed one to be specific. "I'm going to ignore what you just said." Killua replies back, now beginning to walk away. I follow close behind without a care in the world.

"Are you going to check out this Kastro dude?"

"Looks like you can use that brain of yours after all, (y/n)." I let out a laugh at Killua's words as we walk towards the elevator. I decided to come with him just to see if anything will happen that's different to the original anime.  Obviously not, but I was hoping to be ready for anything new to happen as Killua only came here alone originally. "Keep up." I hear Killua say, my gaze now focused on the white-haired boy's back.

"I am. Just keep walking." I reply, pushing his back with a finger. That earned me a nice glare from the boy in front of me. I give Killua a smile despite how annoyed he was and stuck close behind him. As Killua stopped and peaked around the corner, I wait patiently for him to give us the okay to go further. Then, out of nowhere, Killua suddenly grabs ahold of my hand and uses his other hand to flick a shell at the wall.

The guy guarding the place we needed to go to was startled, which gave Killua the perfect opportunity to quickly run for it with me in tow. I wasn't expecting to go full sonic speed, but it was impressive. "Geez, you're fast." I said as Killua comes to stop. The albino boy then turns his head over his shoulder to look at me with the biggest grin on his face, replying back with a "I could be faster." The boy was basically bragging about his speed.

Continuing to walk around the corner, Killua and I spot Kastro's room, with him sitting on the couch. Of course, I already knew what was going to happen. "There he is..." Killua whispers as he suddenly goes into assassin mode, walking closer to the door with ever so quiet steps while still holding onto my hand. 'Idiot.' I thought, forcing the boy to let me go. I couldn't walk with him as my steps weren't as quiet as his.

Looking over at me for a moment in silence, Killua seemed to be confused, but decided to deal with it later. I kept my distance as the albino boy approached the door with confidence. Folding my arms over my chest, I watch Killua peak through the door, only for Kastro himself to show up behind him. "Is there something you need?" Killua made a surprised expression and immediately stared up at Kastro.

"Actually, is there something that you both need?" Kastro asks again, his eyes now landing on my figure. As Killua was trying to figure out how the hell Kastro did that, him and I just have some kind of staring contest. I could practically hear the overthinking of Killua. "Killua." I suddenly say, wanting him to stop overthinking. Seeing his face made me feel bad. The albino boy, hearing my voice, glances at me for a moment.

Realizing that I was snapping him out of his thoughts, Killua places a hand behind his head and smiles at Kastro. "Well, we were hoping for an autograph." Killua said. With Kastro staring back at the albino boy, I could hear him ask, "From me?" Taking that a sign, I just walk towards Killua with my hands in my pockets. Once nearby, I take my place next to Killua and stare up at Kastro. That smile on his face was so smug that I could slap it right off.

"Well, that's quite an honor, Killua, (Y/n)." As Kastro says both our names, Killua's face turns into full blown surprise while I only stand there, my eyes widened a little. I wasn't surprised how he knew Killua, but me? That's a totally different story. I wasn't with Killua and Gon. "I try to keep tabs on all my rivals on the 200th floor." Kastro said, almost sounding proud of himself. As Kastro kept talking, I just couldn't understand how he knew of me.

"Wow, I guess you do know everything, huh?"

"So, are you here to scout out opponents-"

"Hold the hell up. Wait a second." Both Kastro and Killua then turn their attention to me as I finally spoke up. "Don't you realize what you just said? You said that you try to keep tabs on your rivals on the 200th floor. How am I your rival?" I ask, getting a little suspicious. I knew that I had to be careful. It got Killua to think about it, making the albino boy glance back up at Kastro with a suspicious stare.

"(Y/n) has a point... How do you know of him, huh? Me and Gon should be the only people you know." Killua says, Kastro giving us a questionable expression. "Well, obviously I'd know (Y/n). He was with you until a certain point. I kept tabs on him in case he did make it up to the 200th floor-"

"Stalker."

"Excuse me-"

"Man, what a weirdo." Killua chimed in, almost making me want to laugh. It was literally 2 children ganging up on a 30 something year old man. "It's not stalking!" Kastro said, causing me to spit out in a small laugh. "Anyway... as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, were you scouting opponents?" As I stop laughing, I could hear Killua reply, "No, not really. I just wanted to get a look at you up close, is all."

"Well then, now that you both have, what do you think of me?" Kastro asked, causing Killua to smirk a little. And trust me when I say this, that smirk of his made me want to scream like a fangirl. "You're pretty damn impressive." Killua responded back with that smirk still on his face. Almost felt like a flash beacon flashed me in the eyes, that's how perfect Killua looked to me.

With both of them going back n forth for a little bit, I could only stare there and watch, thinking about how everything is going to go from then on...
