It Must Be Fate

Chapter 21: Past or Present

Author's POV.

"So Fumiko is the girl you've been looking for." Gon said that made Akira to stop on her tracks.

"Yes." Killua said.

"You only told me that you are looking for some girl, Killua. But you didn't tell me why. So may I know the whole story now?" Gon asked.

"When I was still an assassin, I met Fumiko in one of my missions. She was the first one to treat me that nice. She became my bestfriend. Then from being just a friend, she became my girlfriend." Killua said as he remembered his past. Gon is attentively listening as well as Akira.

"We were very happy until..." Killua hesistated to continue.

"Killua..." Gon looked at him with a concerned look.

"...we were very happy until my family knew about our relationship. They locked me in the torture room making sure I can't see Fumiko again." Killua said. Akira cannot believe what she is hearing.

"Then, one of the butlers that liked Fumiko told me that she was threatened by my mother so she left." Killua continued.

"So, the real question is, do you still...like...Fumiko san?" Gon asked.

Akira stood there waiting for Killua's answer.

'Just answer Gon already.' Akira shouted mentally.

"Y-yes." Killua said.

Akira clenched her fist and gritted her teeth as she heard Killua's answer. Her eyes became teary but she somehow managed not to cry. Then she immediately left the backyard and went to the gate slowly and when she was already outside the house, she ran and ran as fast as she could away from the house.

As she ran, her tears fell down from her eyes. She closed her eyes as she ran and she bumped into someone.

"Hey watch it." The old man with a grocery bags in his hand said.

Akira just ran like she didn't even bumped at the man. Then she stopped in a dark alley where no one can see her.

'Why? Why does it hurt so much? I must feel happy now that I got my answer. Stupid feelings! Stupid heart! Stupid me!!' Akira scolded herself mentally.

"I must be happy for both Fumiko and Killua. I-I must be happy for them." She whispered as more tears fell from her eyes.

Then Akira suddenly remembered what happened.

'So, the real question is, do you still...like...Fumiko san?' Gon asked.

'Y-yes.' Killua answered.

Then Akira leaned her back in the as she sat, her hands covering her eyes.

"Who am I kidding? It hurts. It really hurts!" Akira said and then she cried all her tears out.

Back at Gon and Killua. ( Few seconds after Akira left.)

"So what is your problem now?" Gon asked.

"I think I also fell inlove with Akira." Killua said as he looked upnat the sky.

"Now, I feel like I am betraying Akira." Killua continued.

"I-I don't know what to do, Gon." Killua said.

"I am hopeless. I always hurt the persons I hold dear to me." Killua whispered.

"The answer is simple Killua." Gon said as he jumped down from the tree and then he placed a hand on Killua's shoulder.

"But you need to answer this question first." Gon said while Killua is only looking at the ground.

"Which is more important to you? Your past or your present?" Gon said and this time Killua looked at his bestfriend.

"Think about it." Gon said as he walked inside the house. "Let's go inside before the rain starts.

'my past or present?' Killua thought again.
