The 2 Assassin's

chapter 4

Annaka POV (Woah what a surprise)

We followed the Chairman to a room and he explained the game.

"All you have to do is take this ball from me," he smiled.

"And then we become hunters?!" Gon asked excitedly.

"now let's begin, yea?" he stated.

Gon went first, he tried a series of attacks, mody fake. After like 10 minutes, he tagged in killua. Killua walked up, keeping some distance. He started walking. "The rythym echo,' I thought.

Soon enough, images of Killua start appearing. The Chairman had a face of amusement and surprise. Sometimes he is so readable but most of the time he's unreadable. This is a time I can read his mind easily. I bet he's thinking something on the lines of "The rythym echo? To think he's mastered it at this age."

Killua then tried to grab the ball, and failed.

"Annaka, how about you give it a go?" The Chairman suggested.

"Yeah sure" I replied. Killua tagged me in and I tried a mixture of what Gon and Killua did.

I first did the rythym echo, that failed. I tried a series of attacks, but faster and more calculated. That failed also.

"Too slow," he said as I tried to grab the ball. This made him unbalanced and I smirked. I went to grab the ball as he fell and he kicked it away from me. I ran for the ball, but he got to the ball first. 'Damnit I was so close,' I thought.

I sighed, and looked behind me and the floor was looking burnt (A/n idk that's the best way I could describe it lmao).

'Could that be the 'nen' thing Hisoka was talking about?' I questioned myself.

The Chairman had a face of surprise and amusement, "You actually almost got it!"

"Of course I did, you know my family," I stated, side eyeing him. He gave me a look of sadness for a split second before replying.

"Yeah it shouldn't be like that though.." He trailed off.

"What do you mean?" Gon asked.

"U-uh," I stuttered. "My training?" I replied in a questioning tone. I mean it's not a whole lie it's partly true. My training is pretty brutal.

"How about you all try to attack me at once?" The Chairman suggested. "But, Annaka only gets to attack once every 30 minutes. Sorry, can't make it too easy."

After a couple hours of trying to get the ball i annoyedly walked out of the room. 'Don't kill anybody, don't kill anybody,' I talked to myself in my head, trying to control myself.

Killua followed me out, "you good?"

'Shit, act' I thought. "U-uh yeah just annoyed. I have a temper."

"yea me too," he responded.

"really? is it bad? like you wa- nevermind," I said.

"like I want to kill someone" He questioned, finishing my tiny rant. I looked up at him with slightly teary eyes.

"I feel so bad for it too," I said.

"It's just how we were raised," he responded.

"Why, it's so messed up," I said as I turned around, feeling my eyes fill up with tears.

"Hey, look at me," he said. "Anna."

'A-anna? A nickname?' I still didn't turn around, I was still facing the wall. "Anna, are you okay?"
