The 2 Assassin's

chapter 40

3rd Person POV
As Annaka and Killua got into fighting stances, Annakas nerves were going wild. She didn't want to hurt Jim. At all. Not even in the slightest. She knew he wouldn't take it personally but she couldn't help but think he would leave her. Maybe it was just her overthinking.

"Go all out! Use your powers all at once," the Chairman yelled from afar.

Killua activated his lightning, "I'm not gonna hold back, love. It's only fair you don't either."

"But what if I-"

"It's okay," he smiled at her. "The Chairman and Kite are here to stop you. Please put your trust in them."

Annaka sighed. She really didn't want to do this but did she have a choice? I mean she did, but is there another way to control herself?

Annaka activated her first choice, fire.

"That's it! Now do another one!" Killua said.

Annaka hesitated and looked towards Kite and Chairman Netero. They both nodded. She sighed once again. "Curse you dad," she muttered before activated her other elements, and other abilities. She was controlling 14 abilities, more than she normally could do, which surprised Netero.

Killua and Annaka began to fight. Annaka struggling to maintain herself and fighting Killua at the same time.

"You're doing it!" Killua said happily.

"Who knew her fighting Killua would help her this much," Netero muttered.

"Yeah, but she's using all her might to stay herself right now," Kite observed. "I'm surprised. From what you told me she couldn't use 12 or 13 abilities for two seconds before blacking out. Now she's using 14 or 15 if you're counting her wings. How many does she have in total?"

"I think 24," Netero replied.

"So about half of her abilities, hm," Kite said, thinking. "I wonder if she could use one more right now."

Annaka stopped dead in her tracks, breathing heavily as Killua noticed and stopped attacking. "Are you okay?" He asked.

"There's nothing to be scared of. Just dont..lose..control and he will be...okay," Annaka whispered to herself. Her eyes glowed a crimson color, a sign she was losing control.  Killua noticed this and stepped a foot closer to her. "No! Stay back!" Killua didn't listen and took another step. And then another. Her eyes glowed slightly smaller with every step he took until he was right in front of her, her eyes back to their normal color.

"She for sure loves him," Kite laughed.

Annaka heard this and turned to him and pointed, "Hey! Shut up!" This just made him laugh even more.

"Anyway," Netero said. "Let's take a break."

They nodded and deactivated their abilities. "Wanna get ice cream!?" Killua asked Annaka.

"Of course!" She replies.

She picked Killua up and flew to the nearest town. Once they arrived they walked through the town and looked for an ice cream store, hand in hand while they talked.

"You're getting closer to controlling all of your abilities," he smiled.

"Yea, I guess," she replies. "I just wish I didn't have them at all."

"Do you think that would change after you gain control?"

"No. I don't hate the fact I have them. I hate the fact he gave them to me and didn't even teach me how to use them," she said. "I bet it would've been way easier to learn how to use them as I was getting them. And he didn't even let me remember I had them! Maybe it'll change if I gain control but I doubt it. I should get used to having them anyway, because there's no way I'll be able to get rid of them."

Killua sighed, "I'm sorry you have to go through this."

"What? It's not your fault."

"I know, but I'm still sorry."

"Well don't be!"

"Whatever."

They walked into an ice cream store and got their ice cream.

"You seem to do better when you fight me," killua says.

"I guess," Annaka smiles. "I just really don't want to hurt you. I wouldn't be able to live with that."

Kite walked into the ice cream store and walked over to them.

"Sorry to interrupt your date but Chairman Netero needs you."

"Okay," she says as they finish their ice creams.

When Annaka met up with the Chairman, he got straight to the point.

"Try fighting me, like how you did Killua," he said.

This took her by surprise but she agreed anyway. As they fought, she added an ability every few minutes until she got to 12 abilities. Then 13, which is where she would usually start to struggle. She breathed heavily as Chairman Netero attacked relentlessly.

"He's not going easy on her," Kite said.

"He doesn't need to," Killua replied.

She added another ability, 14 now. And then another. "Okay slow down a little," Chairman Netero said.

"If I slow down there's no way I'll gain..control," she said, her eyes flickering a glow before it disappeared. This made the Chairman smile.

"Don't do anything you can't handle," he said as they continued to fight.

Annaka fought with 14 abilities easily, so she added another. 15 now.

"She's doing amazing," Killua mumbled, smiling.

She added another. 16.

And then another. 17.

'One..more,' she thinks as she added another. 18.

The Chairman was now more on guard. Looking for any signs of her blacking out. She wasn't showing any signs of it. He smiled proudly, as did Killua.

Annaka looked at her hands, seeing many abilities around her body. She realized she was actually doing it. She didn't believe it!

'One more?'

She added another, her eyes glowing immediately as she blacked out.

Kite gasps as the chairman was hit by a large fireball, knocking him back into a wall which left an outline of his body when he got up. "Little help here Kite?"

"O-oh yeah," Kite stuttered. The Chairman was asking for help with a what? 13 year old? He didn't expect this at all.

As Annaka was out of control, Kite and the Chairman tried to snap her out of it, getting injured in the process.

"Annaka!!" Killua yelled.

This seemed to snap her out immediately as she stopped dead in her tracks. Well, she stopped but she wasn't herself. She was still blacked out, she just wasn't moving. Kite looked at Killua, surprised at the sudden yell.

"Snap out of it!" He yelled again. This time, she immediately snapped out of it. Kite and the Chairman were on the ground, injured and breathing heavily.

"Damnit!" Annaka yelled as she ran up to them and healed them immediately. "I'm sorry. You didn't need to experience that Kite..."

"It's alright, I've seem worse," he said, rolling his now healed arm in a circle.
They continued to train the rest of the day.
