＊ REVISED ＊

A woman with blonde hair down to her shoulders and golden brown eyes stood in a field of flowers, overlooking the sky as the sun began to set.

"Momma! Momma!" A young boy around the age of seven squealed as he ran to the blonde woman, causing the sad look to fold into a smile.

A hint of pain could be seen as she watched the silver-haired child, but she just kept smiling.

"What is it, Xelo?" She asked her son tenderly, his golden brown eyes matching her own.

"A man with white hair like me is inside! He said that I will be really strong someday! Is he right, mom? Is he?" Xelo squealed excitedly as he looked at his mom happily.

"Yes, you'll be very strong." She answered sweetly, then alarm flashed on her face, "Where's Ko?"

"Inside... Why?" The little boy innocently replied.

"Stay here in the field until I light the upstairs lamp, Xelo!" His mother shouted as she ran.

The mother disappeared into the distance as he sat there confused, "What happened?"

----

She ran towards the house panicking. Is it Silva? Killua? Or someone else?

Her feet kept pounding the ground as she forced a blast of Nen below her feet to move faster.

Suddenly she arrived at the house, and Ko was laughing and giggling in joy. Relief flooded over her sullen face as she collapsed.

"Thank God it was only you." Her voice cracked, as she had felt the need to cry.

"Sorry I popped out of nowhere, Arietta." The familiar voice resounded in her head. Just the way Arietta remembered it.

"It's okay Silva, though you know who I really wanted to see..." They shared a moment of silence and he gave her a pat on the shoulder.

"Don't ruin our bloodline, okay Arietta?" He made a dry joke as he spoke with next to no emotion.

"I'll try." She muttered, giving him a hug.

They stayed like that for a moment, until the reunion was rudely interrupted by-

"Hey, it's me!" An annoying voice made the blonde choke on her saliva, "Well I guess I'm not the only visitor..."

"J-Jahan?!" She nearly screamed.

"Yeah, it's me. I heard you got little silver heads here."

"You apparently heard right. Where'd you get that information from?"

"Classified." Arietta frowned. This is the main reason he's annoying.

"I see..." She muttered, annoyed.

"I hear you've got a child too, Ging." Silva stoically spoke.

He suddenly got so cold and scary. What's up between the two of them? Well, Silva and Ging were never really... Friends, but the expectations were higher than this.

"Yeah, I dropped him off today."

"Dropped him off?" She questioned angrily.

"M-mhm," he stuttered a little at her face, "he was really annoying."

"What's his name?" She asked a little more patiently.

"Gon," he paused, "I think he'll be as strong as me." At this remark, the blonde snorted in laughter.
