The 2 Assassin's

chapter 33

Annaka POV
I was confused as to what Killua was saying but decided I'll worry about it later.
"Annaka?" Gon said. "Are you okay?"

"Of course, just a little tired," I lie. Even though I don't have the injuries on me since they healed immediately, I still feel the pain until I would normally heal. So I have terrible pains all over my body. Like I got blown up or something. I mean, technically I did at he beginning of the fight. I wasn't going to tell them that though.

Killua eyed me, concern in his look but I ignored it and acted like I didn't hear him.

"Annaka," the Chairman said, kind of sternly.

"Yea?" I say, and turned to him. I tried really hard not to wince as I turned my head.

"Nevermind," he said. I gave him a confused look but nodded anyway.

"We should catch up later," I say to him, he nodded. "Day after tomorrow?"

"Works for me," he shrugged, I nodded to him. "Now I have to go. I'll see you later."

"Bye gramps," I say and he was gone in a flash.

I walked over to Gon and Killua, almost wincing but they were watching me walk over so I ignored it.

(Sorry to interrupt but I remember my therapist asking me how I deal with my anxiety and I said "I just deal with it" and she was like "what?" and I was like "I just ignore it" and the look she gave me was so funny 😂 ok sorry back to the story)

"so what now," I ask.

"Well you're going to go to sleep which means we are going to a hotel," killua said and they started walking.

"I can just teleport us," I say.

"No, you said you were already tired," he retorted.

"Okay at least let me fly us then. That doesn't take energy," I say and roll my eyes.

"No."

"Yes." I say as I hand his and gons hands and flew up high so if he resisted he would fall to his death.

"You're so stubborn," he complained.

"Always," I laugh. Although when I laughed, pain shot through my body almost making me drop them.

"Anna are you sure you're okay?" killua asked.

"Yea I'm good," I said. I could tell he didn't believe me but I ignored it.

Once we arrived at the hotel, we checked in and walked up to the hotel. All three of us are just sharing a room because it's cheaper.

I yawned and sat on one of the beds. "Night." I simply said before laying down and going to sleep.

Killua POV
"Why didn't we get a 3 bed?" I ask.

"They don't have a three bed available," gon responded. "Annaka must've been really tired if she fell asleep that quickly."

"She's not tired, she's in pain I can tell," I say. "She slept a few days ago so she's not tired. I think she just went to sleep so she didn't have to feel the pain."

"But there's not even one injury on her," he replied.

"She's heals the wounds but she still feels the extent of her injuries. With what we saw in that video one of the men starting playing for us to watch, agonizing pain is probably shooting through her body every time she moves," I reply.

"But she hasn't shown any signs of being in pain," he said back.

"She's hiding it. She doesn't want us to worry or she doesn't want to be a burden," I say.

"How bad would you say the pain is," he asks.

"Pretty fucking painful I'm guessing," I said.

"How does she hide it so good then?" he asked in general.

"Have you seen most of her family?"

"True," he said.

Annaka POV
I was back at the mansion. Why the hell am I back at the mansion?

"Annaka! Come here right now!" I heard someone call for me. I immediately recognized that voice. Why am I back here? I then saw a 5 year old me run towards my father.

"I'm gonna be gone a while sweetie," my mother said.

"B-but why?" Little me asked.

"I've been sent out on a mission, I have to to. It'll take a while," she answered. "Be good for dad okay?"

It was then that little mes eyes widened ever so slightly. 'I don't remember this happening?' I thought to myself confused.

After my mother left, it was just me and my father. "What do you say we do?" He asked.

"Ice cream!" She said excitedly.

"Now Annaka, that makes you fat. You can't become my weapon if you're fat," he replied. Little me saddened.

"I don't want to be your weapon though.."

That's when he hit little me. Hard. He just kept hitting her.
"You will become my weapon, my dear Annaka." He said, venom lacing his voice.

"Okay! Okay! I'm sorry! Daddy I'm sorry!" Little me apologized. "Stop hurting me, please!" Spoiler alert, he didn't stop.

I jumped up, breathing heavily, but the winced as the pain from the fight kicked in. I looked to my side and saw Gon and Killua asleep. My heavy breathing slowed as I stood up and went to the bathroom. I did my business and washed my hands. Then I washed my face. I walked out the bathroom, wincing with every movement but failed to realize Killua looking dead at me. I finally looked up and froze.

"So I was right," he stated. "How bad does it hurt?"

I looked back down at the ground, "not that much. Nothing I can't handle."

I walked back over to the bed, not showing any signed of hurting. He knows I'm hurt, he just doesn't know how bad. He's gonna worry but maybe he'll worry less if I don't show my pain.

"Are you sure?" He asks. He worries so much about me. Maybe too much. He probably worries about me more than he worries about himself. I mean, I am the same way. I put everyone before myself.

"Yes I'm sure," I say. I lay down, fighting the urge to wince. I breathed a heavy sigh.

"Do you still wanna go out tomorrow? You dont have to. I know you're in more pain than you're willing to admit," he asks/says.

"I do still wanna go. I just need some pain killers and I'll be fine," I smile at him. He comes to lay beside me and I snuggle up against him, smiling brightly though he couldn't see it. I fell asleep in his arms.
