The 2 Assassin's

chapter 37

Okay first off hello? there is a least 550 reads in total. I wasn't expecting this to get that many. I expected like 10 reads tops. But thanks so much!

Annaka POV
A few training days later and I as able to use 12 abilities at once without blacking out. Everyone is trying to tell me I'm doing amazing but I won't be doing amazing until I can control all of them at once. I need to keep them safe.

"Annaka," Gon says. "Come with me to get some drinks for everyone."

"Okay!" I say, smiling. As I walked the injuries I healed off Bisky were making shooting pains over my body. I didn't flinch once. They don't need to worry about me.

As we walked in a comfortable silence for a bit, Gon spoke up, "I know that you're in pain."

"What?" I question.

"When you heal others, you always choose yourself to deal with the pain. I remember you telling me that," he says.

'When the hell did I tell him that?!'

"You didn't tell me directly, I just overheard your mumbling," he continued. "Annaka, no one blames you for your blackouts." He finally looks at me, "So don't blame yourself either!"

'Its not that easy, Gon.'

I smile at him but don't say anything.

"Here, it's painkillers. I know these helped last time," he handed me a pill bottle as we walked into a cafe.

We got everyones' usual drinks and headed back. "Thank you."

"That's what friends are for!" Gon smiled brightly and I swear I can't look because it's so bright.

Once we got back to the training area, we continued training. Gramps was training me and Bisky training gon and killua. As gramps and i spareed, once every few minutes I look back at Killua. Just checking on him. What I didn't notice was that he was doing the same.

"You're distracted," he states calmly before coming behind me ad kicking my back, making me fall right on my face.

"I am not!" I defend.

"Yes you are! You keep looking at Killua!" He retorted, I roll my eyes.

"Okay, I was a little distracted," I say slowly. Once he let me get up again I stretch out.

"Ready?" We both got into fighting stances.

"Go!"

We both charge at each other. Today we were doing basic hand to hand combat. Not assassination techniques, no blacking out, just normal combat. I didn't really get much of basic combat training, my dad mostly teaching me techniques and stuff.

"Your normal combat does need a lot of work," he commented.

"I'm sorry," I say.

"Not your fault, as always Annaka you don't have to apologize for everything I say," he says, throwing a right hook.

I dodge as I whisper, "I always feel like everything's my fault." As I finish my sentence I aim for his stomach.

He dodges as he asks, "why?"

I throw another punch, "because usually it is."

He dodges once again and lunges at me slowly, I know he can go faster than that. "How so?" He asks, knocking me off my feet.

I quickly recover, flipping up to a standing position, I don't say anything. I have no answer. 'But I know everything is my fault. It always has been, right dad?'

I look over to Killua, seeing him panting heavily and...staring straight at me!? I quickly look away, a slight blush tints my cheeks.

"You look like you're in love," gramps said changing the topic.

'You have no idea,' I think, before actually responding, "what?"

"Oh come on its obvious! I've been here for 3 days after not seeing you for almost year. The difference in tension between you guys is really noticeable. So tell me..Are you guys dating yet?!" He asks excitedly. I guess he ships us too, along with Leorio, Kurapika and Gon.

"Yes!" I say with just as much enthusiasm. "I am so happy! We've been dating for almost a year."

"I'm glad he makes you so happy," he smiles.

"Yea he really does," I say, looking towards Killua with soft eyes. I watched him train before my dad punched my gut and said,

"The fight between us isn't over!"

"I can see that.." I say hunched over gripping my stomach. 'He did not hold back with that punch.'

"Come on! up! up! up!" He said, overflowing with energy as he jumped to one leg to the other repeatedly. (does that make any sense? 😭)

For the rest of the day we keep training. Once it was night time, bisky came up to us.

"Now before we sleep we have a thing for you to do while you sleep," she says happily with her usual smile.

She makes us grab rope and says, "don't remove tension unless you wanna get hit by a rock."

Oh its this training. I'm a master at this so I don't have any problem with sleeping this way. The next morning I see Killua completely okay. But Gon on the other hand, he looked rough. He had multiple bumps on his head which indicated he kept getting hit by the rock all night. I had to stop myself from laughing thinking that.

"Annaka, there's someone who wants to meet you," gramps sad walking up to me.

"Really?" I ask.

"They will be here tomorrow, but for now let's focus on training," he smiled.

The rest of the day was filled with training, drinking a lot of water, and worrying about who wanted to meet me. I was surprised at this, someone wanted to meet me. And they know my grandpa. Maybe he's a fellow hunter? Like from a higher-

"Annaka! You're spacing out and muttering things," he said, waving his hands in front of my face. "It's kinda creepy."

"Oh um sorry. Can't you just tell me who wants to meet me?" I say/ask.

He sighs, "Their names are Ging Freecs and Kite."

"Gons dad?" I ask surprised. "Gons finally gonna meet his dad!?"

"No, Ging wants to keep him being here a secret from Gon," he said.

"What? why?" I ask, frowning.

"He isn't ready I guess?" He says questioningly.

"That's a dumb ass reason. He should see his son," my frown never leaving my face.

He shrugged, "I'm not butting into anyone's business."

"You were literally asking me if killua and I were dating," I say.

He laughed, "Well I have to be nosy with you, you're my granddaughter!"

I rolled my eyes playfully and while he was laughing I took this opertunity to charge at him and punched, knocking him back into a wall. He stayed there for moment, surprised. Then suddenly, he charged at me with a smirk.

"Very well Annaka. Waited for my guard to drop," he stated. "Nicely done!"

I smiled, "learned from the best!"
