 Killua:

‘Why are they talking about me, what could they possibly find out from Aunt Mito about my abilities?’ I ask myself. ‘Illumi definitely knows a lot about my power but they couldn’t convince him to say a word.’ I look up at Layla but she doesn’t acknowledge me. “So what’s the game plan?” I finally ask her. 

“No game plan.” She replies shortly. 

“So I am just supposed to hang out?”

“That’s correct.”

“There can’t even be something remotely interesting that we could do?”

“Look kid, there are still a few things I am trying to figure out, so why don’t you shut up and let me think.” She cuts me off coldly.

“What is there to figure out?” I ask. She sighs and glares at me.

“If you must know, I am trying to figure out why the Chrollo didn’t kill you and your brother in the first place. This behavior is very uncharacteristic; he could have at least stolen your abilities before this mess occurred. And I want to know why he bothered bring that woman here and what role she plays on all of this.” She tells me. I’m not sure why he seems to be divulging sensitive information to me, I suppose she doesn’t see me as any kind of threat or she would be keeping silent. 

It does, however, seem odd that Chrollo didn’t kill me when I know he could have. I know he wanted information on the chain user, but he didn’t really need me for that. What he said before when he double crossed Illumi keeps ringing in my ears. ‘This boy is to intriguing to just let him leave, he is very powerful.’ I wonder what made him say that. Up till then I had done nothing extraordinary in fact I sort of got my butt handed to me. The only power I had displayed at that point was my electricity and my basic fighting ability. ‘So what did he see that impressed him so much?’ I wonder. ‘To be honest I am not very powerful at all, every once on a great while I have explosions like that one earlier, but I can’t control those. I have a feeling those will only occur when my life or the life of someone I care for is in genuine danger.’

This calls to my mind all the people I have come to care for over the years: Alluka was the first. He, well she, I think is part of the reason I started to doubt my desire to be an assassin. She was so normal and loving when Nanika isn’t controlling her that I wanted to be someone that could take good care of her. I remember when she, Kalluto, and I used to hang out all the time. I was like the leader of my own little troupe, they would follow me wherever I went and I would teach them things and we would play games. Those were the good ole days before things got bad for me. But that isn’t any excuse, I shouldn’t have left them! Alluka got locked away in a cell, and I know that Kalluto hasn’t forgiven me and he may never at all. There has been too large a gap formed between us.

Speaking of distance between, there are all my former friends on Whale Island. Gon: who barely even flinched when I told him about my family and still wanted to hang out with me regardless. And Gon, along with Kurapika and Leorio: who were all willing to move heaven and earth to get me back from my family’s estate. After that happened, Gon and I met Zushi. He wasn’t as strong or as skilled at fighting, but that’s what made him the perfect person for the job. He built up our confidence and was a great friend while we knew him. And I have to say it made me pretty upset when Riehlvelt and his crew threatened Zushi. So maybe he was an even closer friend than I thought.

I can’t forget Aunt Mito and Grandma, I can still remember falling asleep behind the counter at the shop and then waking up and having Aunt Mito cut my hair. Or like the incident when I fell into the mire of Poush. Plant. I remember waking up after being out for hours; I looked to my left and saw Aunt Mito watching over me. She was like a real mother wanting to protect me. They were things as stupid as that, but they meant a lot to me.
