Barriers

CrystalXEighteen

Hello, my fellow Geeks!!! You having a good day. I am. I just got back from watching the new horror movie It. That movie is sooooooo scary. I warn you. Never watch it, or everywhere you turn, you'll see your worst nightmare! I don't think I'll be sleeping for a very long time. Pray for me, readers!!

Anyways, TROTC is: What has cities, but no houses; forest, but no trees; and water, but no fish?

Killua and Crystal walked through the forest, trying to find the stone trail. Finally, Killua's eyes spotted it. "There it is!" The boy ran to the road, followed by a cautious Crystal. Killua continued walking, but seemed to smack right into an invisible force. Crystal squinted her eyes in confusion as Killua started messaging his head.

"Ouch, what the hell?" Killua looked at the clear forest and thrust his hand out, only to meet the invisible force. "What's this" he asked. Crystal studied the force before her eyes widened in realization.

"We got to go" Crystal yelled as she pulled the albino the other way. But she smacked into another force field. Crystal punched the force field hopelessly before tears fell down her cheeks. "I never got to live the age of 20" she yelled in exasperation. Killua sweatdropped. 

"Chill out, Crystal. You're always stressed" Killua said, trying to calm the crying girl down. "Plus, you look ugly when you cry" he muttered the last part under his breath.

Crystal stopped crying as a threatening aura surrounded her. "What did you say" she growled as she glared at the boy. His sweatdrop grew as he scratched his cheek with his index finger. "Definitely biopolar" he muttered to himself. She turned back and began crying again. "Come on, Crystal. What can go wrong-" Killua was interrupted by a sound.

Suddenly, gas surrounded the two. "You jinxed it" Crystal yelled as she looked around. But it didn't take long for her to pass out.

Killua woke up to the sound of voices. He kept his eyes closed, pretending he was still asleep, but listened intently. "I guess luck's on our side, master" a man's voice said. "Yeah. Crystal Ninsore. Wow, she's worth a lot of yen. And she's a pretty one" a woman's voice said in admiration and satisfaction.

"What should we do with the other one" the man asked. The woman laughed. "He's useless to us, but I can feed him to Razor." Killua squeezed his eyes closed as he wondered how did the lady know Crystal.

"Come on, let's go get Razor" the woman said, as two pairs of shoes clicked out of the room. Killua opened his eyes once he couldn't feel any presence and the room. He looked down at himself, only to see his body encased with some type of thick web.

He tried to move, but his body was pressed together. Killua looked around, and Crystal was peacefully sleeping, also encased in a web. She was hanging on the ceiling, as Killua was laying on the floor.

The assassin took his claws out, slowly and cautiously cutting through the web. After a minute of sawing, he was free. Killua stood up and walked below Crystal, looking up at her. He flinched once he heard a loud roar from outside the room.

He looked at the door. And in came a tiny little kitten. Meowing innocently. It was so adorable. But as the boy looked at the kitten, a thought came to mind about the encounter with the puppies in the forest.

His eyes widened as he quickly cut Crystal down and jetted out of the room, using his lightning speed. He looked around and found he was in the forest again. The boy was confused. He noticed something.

He had not had a good fight, or a fight at all. Now that he thought of it, all he had been doing was running away. Like he had when he was a young assassin. He hadn't fought at all for a long time. Even before he was in this world.

Killua let out a long sigh and looked down at the sleeping girl. "I'm bored" he muttered to himself before he continued to walk.
