The 2 Assassin's

chapter 39

Annaka POV
"You'll fight with the Chairman, and we'll observe," Kite replied. "Go all out."

"A-all out?" I ask.

"Yes," he responds.

"But I'll blac-"

"We'll be here to stop you," Kite cut me off.

"But I don't want to hurt you guys," I whisper, looking down. I could feel the three looking at me. Like knifes stabbing into my body. I was well aware they were giving me sympathetic looks but I don't want to see them so I don't look up.

Kite sighed, "Fine, if you don't want to use all of them at once, do one at a time."

I look up, "Deal."

The next few hours were spent on me showing them my abilities. They seemed pretty impressed.

Killua POV
Gon and I were training with Bisky. I noticed Annaka no where to be seen. She wasn't anywhere near, as well as the Chairman.

"Bisky?" I ask, getting her attention.

"Why aren't you training?" She lectured.

"I have..uh..I have a question," I say.

"What is it?"

"Where's Annaka? I haven't seen her," I ask/say.

"Oh, she's training with the chairman, as always. Just with some extra help."

"Extra help?"

"Yep. Don't worry she's okay," she smiled reassuringly.

'Extra help?'

"What do you mean by extra help?" I ask.

"Don't worry about it, just worry about you're training," she says, walking away.

'Does "extra help" mean the Chairman can't handle it on his own? Why isn't bisky helping then? She helped once, she could help again. Wait..'

"Wait!" I run up to bisky. "Why aren't you helping then?"

She froze for a brief second then slightly stuttered as she spoke, "I-im training you guys."

"You're scared of her..aren't you," I say. She went silent before replying,

"I'm not scared."

"Then why aren't you helping?"

"Because I'll end up dead."

"Dead?"

"I wouldn't be able to handle her blacking out as much as the chairman and the other two," she stated and walked away. "Continue your training."

'Shed end up dead? With how powerful she is?!'

Annaka POV
"thats enough," Kite stated. "You can stop now."

I immediately stopped and looked down at the ground. I felt as though if I went on any longer..I'd black out again. And I wasn't even using my abilities at once!

"You've come a long way," gramps smiled at me. "A few days ago you would've blacked out by now."

I looked up at him, surprised at the sudden praise.

"I'm proud of you," he smiled more as my heart dropped.

'Hes..proud of me?'

My eyes filled with tears for a second before I immediately wiped them away before they could even fall.
