To Save the World (ACxHxH)

Chapter 14

"Oh, Kurapika! I forgot that you were here. Good thing the chef made some extra breakfast." Gon placed a plate in front of Kurapika.

"Thanks, Gon. What time do you guys normally leave at." Kurapika picked up the fork next to the plate and took a bite of the rice on his plate.

"We normally leave in 10 minutes." Karma answers, walking confidently into the kitchen.

"Good morning, Karma. Did you sleep well?" Karma gives a small smile. He would never admit it, but he has a soft spot for Gon. Something about the childish innocence he exudes makes it easy to want to be by him and protect him.

"As good as always. Your guy's beds are so much more comfortable then the ones at my house."

"You live in a mansion right?" Karma gives a small nod as he starts to eat his breakfast.

"That's so cool! Killua lives in a mansion too!"

"Does he know?" Karma said, glancing over towards Killua, who was walking down the stairs.

"Stop giving him ideas, Gon. It's bad enough with the Kil nickname." Killua says in an exasperated sigh. "What are you gonna be doing today?" Killua asks with narrowed eyes.

"Don't be so mad about my other motives for being here. I have an extended stay, so I'll be in this world for three weeks, and two of those weeks are with you guys. I'll have one week for my business." Kurapika picks up the glass of water in front of him, taking a long sip, letting the words sit with Killua.

"I'm not mad at that. I just don't see the reason why we need babysitters." Kurapika rubs his temples and lets out an exasperated sigh.

"I thought we already went over this last night."

"Well, I like being able to see you guys even if the reason is because you're supposed to be watching us. We never really get to see each other, so this is a perfect opportunity." Gon slung his backpack over his shoulder. "We should probably leave now, otherwise we'll be late." The other three nodded and quickly left behind Gon.

"Sometimes I question whether Gon is human." Karma let out a small laugh before catching up to Gon. "He is too pure for me to comprehend." Killua and Kurapika simply nodded. There is no falsehood in that statement.

At School

"Are you excited for the baseball game!" Gon slams his hands on Killua's desk, causing him to snap out of whatever daze he was in.

"Baseball game? What's baseball?" Killua, who wasn't paying attention during Sugino's explanation, was totally confused on why he was being dragged out onto a field.

"Ummmm, so Sugino said that we have a bat, and then we hit the ball that someone throws, and then we run to bases. Right Sugino?!" Gon called out towards Sugino.

"That's basically what he said." Kurapika placed a hand on Gon's shoulder, confirming his explanation.

"Err, that blonde haired person is right. Of course there are rules, but if you do that when we're up to bat you'll be fine. When we're in the field though, you want to throw the ball to the base a person is running towards to get them out. Is there no game similar to that in your world?" Sugino asked awkwardly.

"I don't think so, but I also grew up pretty separated from the rest of the world. Do you know, Killua?" With the question, Killua planted the bottom of his fist on top of Gon's head.

"Idiot, if you don't know because you were isolated, what do you think I would know?"

"Owww, I don't know, maybe it would be important for something." Killua crosses his arms and turns away. "What about you Kurapika? Do you know anything?"

"I, too, didn't really indulge myself in television programs."

"Huh, sorry Sugino. It looks like all of us never really were exposed to a sporting environment."

"Don't worry about it. I don't really need to know. Anyways, the game is about to start. Remember to keep your eye out for Koro Sensei." The class nods and sits down in the dugout.

E class had the first 3 runners bunt the ball, and then Sugino hit a triple (running 3 bases). Of course, their bunting strategy wouldn't last long, but they took that into account. Despite their poor knowledge on baseball, Killua and Gon have exceptional hand, eye coordination, paired with their brute strength, hitting a baseball is no trouble at all.

Killua steps up to bat. All the fielders were in the field, a countermeasure to the bunting strategy. Originally, Killua was also going to bunt, but looking at the formation the other team is in it probably wouldn't get past them. While he could probably get on first base, Sugino wouldn't be able to get home. The pitcher pitches the ball, and Killua swings the bat. The ball makes contact with the bat, causing the ball to fly out of the field. "What do I do now?" Killua turns towards Sugino whose mouth was agape.

"That's a home run, run around the whole field." He says as he runs to the home plate. Killua does as he says and runs across the field, bringing the score to 5, nothing.

Unfortunately, the small success didn't last long. Gon was at the end of the batting line up, so the next three people stood no chance against the baseball team. In the end, E class was able to pull off a win, though it was a close game. With only 3 people capable of actually hitting the fast balls from the pitcher, the possibility to get points was far and few between.

"That was so fun!" Gon said as he started bouncing off the field.

"You looked awesome out there, Gon." Kurapika complimented. "You too, Killua."

"Thanks, I guess. It was pretty easy though. It would be really cool to see baseball with nen, don't you think?" Gon's eyes started to sparkle.

"We should do that when we get back! Maybe we can convince Heaven's Arena to host a game!"

"What's Heaven's Arena?" Karma joined the conversation, with Sugino close behind him.

"Oh, it's a fighting ring. You fight people and if you win you get money." Gon states as if there is nothing wrong with fighting people for cash.

"Wow, really?! I'd love to fight there. That sounds sick." Karma marvels. "Just imagine how many people I could beat to a pulp with no consequences."

"If there is ever a way to bring people to our world, I'll be sure you're the first one I invite." Gon smiles before walking to catch up with one of the other students. "See, too pure for the world." Karma said once Gon was seemingly out of ear shot. Again, Kurapika and Killua just nodded.

Also, hypothetically, if Karma were to somehow end up in the hero course at UA, what would his hero name be. What would Nagisa's hero name be?
