The 2 Assassin's

chapter 25

Killua POV
"what do you mean you don't know?" I asked, worry in my voice.

"U-uh I saw something I wasn't supposed to and she-" I cut her off.

"She ran away," I finished.

"She has a habit of that," Gon sighed.

"Well she couldn't have gotten far, it takes at least 30 minutes to get a boat and leave," Mito says.

"Let's split up, look for her. Let the others know if you find her," I say. They nodded and we all ran opposite ways.

I looked for her in the forest, I noticed she took a liking to it. I jumped up in a tree, just to get a better view. I looked to my side and found a sleeping Annaka. I sighed in relief. Suddenly she started screaming, thrashing, and crying in her sleep. "Annaka? Hey! Hey! Wake up!" I said, shaking her lightly so I wouldn't startle her. She woke up panting, seeing my worried face she quickly wiped her face. "Hey..come here." I say, opening up my arms, she hesitantly leaned towards me. She sniffled a little, letting me know she was crying silently. I tightened my grip around her, not to hurt her, just to try and provide more comfort. "It's okay...It was just a nightmare.." After a while of that, she calmed down and fell asleep in my arms. I smiled down at her and pulled out my phone. I texted Gon first, telling him i found her, that she's sleep and I was gonna carry her back, then I texted the same to Mito. I put my phone back in my pocket and started walking to the house, making sure I didn't wake her.

Once I arrived at the house, Mito and Gon were on the couch. They stood up once I opened the door. I took her to her room and laid her down, pulling a blanket on her.

"Gon don't say anything about it to Killua, i wasn't even supposed to tell you. You just guessed," I heard from the other room. Confused laced my face but nonetheless I walked into the room.

Gon sighed, a worried look on his face.

"Everything okay," I ask, seeing if he'll say anything more about what I heard, he probably wouldn't.

"Yea, I was just worried about Annaka," he smiled. "Glad she's o-okay."

I furrowed my eyebrows, 'whyd he stutter?'

"What are you guys not telling me," I ask.

"Nothing! Why would we have something about Annaka we're not telling you, we definitely dont," Mito said quickly.

"Gon, your Aunt is a bad liar. I did even say it was about Annaka," I say. "What are you guys not telling me?"

"W-we can't say," Gon says.

"Why," I ask.

"I'm not even supposed to know, I just guessed," gon replied.

"Is it bad?" I ask. Mito and Gon shared a glance, then they both turned to me.

"Y-yea," gon says.

My face immediately filled with worry, "Whats it about at least?"

"U-um...." Gon stuttered, looking at mito.

"Her mental health isnt...well...good," she says.

"What? she cut herself or something?" I ask worried.

They shared a look, which answered my question. "What do we do about it?"

"Try to help her," mito says.

"I don't think she'll talk to us," gon says.

"Only you," mito finishes.

I looked at them, silence filling the air. Then, Annaka walked out of the room. She locked eyes with Mito and immediately looked away to the floor.
