Hunting For Our Dream

[• Reunion x and x Promise •]

It's been a while since we've all seen each other. How long? A year, maybe? I don't know, I'm kinda bad with numbers...hehe.

Anyway, we had contacted each other recently. We planned to all meet up soon in a few days and catch up! Killua, Alluka, Leorio, and even Kurapika all agreed to it! I'm looking forward to seeing 'em, it feels like it's been forever! I wonder what Killua's been up to. To be honest, I probably miss him the most. I mean, he's my best friend after all!

At around 12 PM- wait, no- 1 PM? I have no idea...Anyway, what was I saying again? OH! Right! So I got a call from Alluka and she was telling me that her and Killua could be a bit late to get here, and I told her it was okay. I wonder why they were gonna be late, though. Did something happen...? Maybe their ride got delayed or something? I'll ask them when they get here, that's for sure!

We had originally planned to meet up at around...uhm...3 PM, I think? Agh, I can never remember numbers correctly. I'm really bad at math, too, come to think of it. I still remember feeling embarrassed when I made a wrong guess as to how many tons the doors weighed at the Zoldyck Estate, and when Kurapika corrected me with a disappointed tone. At least I think they were disappointed? Argh! Why is everything so complicated!? Sometimes the world just doesn't make any sense to me. I don't like it. It makes me feel...dumb. Stupid. An idiot. Killua calls me that a lot. I don't really mind it. I kinda like it, actually. He doesn't try to make me feel stupid on purpose, but he uses it in a funny kinda way that also lets me realize my mistakes and helps me improve!

Speaking of improvement, I've been trying to train super hard to regain my strength. I'm still recovering from the battle with that...thing....the ant. That evil, wretched, disgusting, abominable creature that had no excuse to have the chance to breathe the same air as us. Okay, maybe I'm still a bit "dramatic" about the whole thing, say what you want, but I don't care. They killed Kite, the only sort of father figure I had before I met my real father. I also considered Kite to be a really close friend of mine. I can still talk to him, but now, he's turned into a little girl! It isn't fair! None of this is fair. I hope that chimera scum is rotting in hell.

For now, I still can't use nen. Not for a while, at least. It feels similar to the time I couldn't use nen for around a month when I was stumped by Knuckle's nen ability, another thing that involves many different numbers that I couldn't even begin to understand. I feel helpless and weak, like a foxbear cub left to fend for itself without the guidance of its mother.

I tapped my feet against the ground to mimic the music that was playing on the radio as I waited at the airport for my friends to arrive. Tap. Tap. Tap. Poke. Wait...poke ? I felt a finger pressing against my shoulder and I quickly turned around as my gaze met a pair of warm and familiar eyes.

"LEORIOOOO!!!" I exclaimed, extending my arms wide and hugging his lanky body.

"Hey, Gon! How've you been? You look a lot better than when I last saw you, hah!" Leorio joked, ruffling my hair.

"Yup!" I answered, "I've started exercising my body again so when I make a full recovery, I can come back even stronger!"

"That's great! I'm real proud of you, buddy. You're the strongest guy I know!"

I giggled, then I sensed a familiar presence approaching the both of us. "And what about me, hm?" The calm voice chimed in.

"KURAPIKA!" We both yelled out, startling the others in the waiting room. I quickly ran over and hugged them, though they clearly weren't expecting it.

"Oh!" They gasped, "You two missed me that much...?"

I hadn't really noticed it at first, but Leorio was hugging Kurapika, too. I even saw him shed a few tears. He really cares about them, doesn't he?
