CHAPTER 1: Kaito x Gon x First Encounter

WHALE ISLAND

Amongst the vast waters known as the Indian ocean rest a small island created and shaped by natural forces like the volcano that used to be underneath and the strong waves that hit on a minute-basis. It had been untouched by modern technology and had somehow, through time, adopted the shape of a whale- and hence its name.

Whale Island.

Deep within it existed a small and peaceful village, a little far away from the ports where its most advanced settlements laid. Its houses conformed to a certain style, yet most established their own identity as directed by the people who lived there.

One such house was located farther from the rest. It was also a pub and shop which meant people still went there, despite its relatively isolated position. But the most interesting characteristic that the home had was that it was built under two trees- entwined together after long years of company. It also stood at a small hill intensifying the effect of its odd majesty and charm as it stood against the deep blue sky.

The house looked cute and peaceful on the outside. But its interior was the exact opposite.

"Waaaaaa... I'm so bored Mito-san! Can I please go outside?" A 9-year old girl with the name of Antigone Freecs implored her aunt. The little girl was cute with her huge eyes and raven hair that framed her face perfectly. Her aunt's eyes twitched.

"No, Gon, you're a girl. And girls are supposed to know how to do house chores." She stated as a-matter-of-factly.

"But I already do know how to do them! " She retorted. 'Doesn't mean I have to do them...'

Mito winced, knowing precisely what the girl just mused. She sighed and whispered to herself, "You're really nothing like your mother..." forgetting the fact that her niece had superhuman senses- and that meant the little girl heard.

Gon tilted her head in wonder. "Nothing like...you, Mito-san?" She asked innocently, even when she knew Mito wasn't her birth mother she never knew either of her parents. So she pretty much believed Mito was her parent. Mito's eyes widened and she quickly tried to hold back her tears.

There was a silence that ensued and Mito quickly rummaged her brain at what to do. First thing was to permanently hamper her tears. Unfortunately, seeing Gon's worried stare did not help her achieve that.

"You can go o-out and play now, Gon." She muttered out-of-nowhere making Gon frown.

"But if I leave, you'll cry." She bluntly stated, making Mito really want to cry on the spot. "Why all of a sudden, Mito-san?"

Mito went closer and hugged her tightly. "It's fine Gon, it's nothing you did. So go out and play now. I need some time alone, please."

"But..."
