Nahida & Wanderer In HXH

°Goals, And The Different Paths For Them°

So, Wanderer was spying on Kurapika. He wasn't worried, just making sure his first day back at work went well. With his eyes still aching slightly, he wanted to make sure nothing happened that revealed Kurapika's bloodline.

Especially after his very first mission upon returning, was getting the Kurta eyes, the auction was officially selling after the Spiders left.

The young lady he worked for had lost her unique ability, and now she needed the Kurta eyes to feel better about everything.

That was like asking him, who had lost the Gnosis, to get it back and give it to the Shogun. If he was Kurapika, he'd keep it instead. But, it seems that Kurapika didn't even want to consider that an option at the moment.

He decided to let Nahida know, her advice would be greatly appreciated... Especially if, anything happened. So he took the small Neo out of his kimono and spoke to it.

"Nahida, I... Need some help."

What he didn't know, was that his Goddess of wisdom was currently staring at two children with her arms resting above her hips. A frown on her features as they kept their heads down and away from her with guilt.

"Killua."

He hummed as a response, moving his head further away from her to the side.

"Why were you tasing yourself, just now?"

"Well, first of all."

Killua cleared his throat before finally looking at her eyes, arms crossed as he talked.

"I've been under electric torture, also known as shock therapy since I was five-"

"Not something to brag about."

He ignored Nahida and continued.

"I knew I could stand it, I just needed it. I wanted to change my aura into electricity..."

His voice quieted down by the end. He saw her frown start to lessen, before Nahida sighed.

"Look, I need to know. You realize that your childhood wasn't only abnormal, but also dangerous. Right?"

Killua nodded, his gaze elsewhere as he answered nonchalantly.

"Hmm, but it made me stronger."

It seems that's the only good thing he got from it. Nahida took a deep breath before sitting down to meet his gaze.

"Killua, I won't say anything about it. I'm sure we have very different views on your childhood and what it did to you."

He stayed quiet, but he turned to look at her, his gaze told her he was listening seriously.

"But, I'd like to know your reasons for doing something that dangerous. And Gon."

The mentioned boy flinched.

"The same goes for you. Seeing Killua stabbing a taser against his skin, scared me greatly."

Her worried tone made Killua frown. Gon scratched his head without saying a word. So in the end, Killua was the first to give in and lower his head.

"... Sorry."

Nahida didn't seem to think that was enough.

"That's not the answer I need."

Killua glanced up at her, and answered.

"... I'm really sorry?"

She shook her head with a fond smile.

"What even gave you that idea? Of electricity as aura?"

Killua happily accepted the change of topic.

"I just knew it was something only I could do. And it's unique enough to gain attention. Since..."
