You Will Always be my Friend (A HunterxHunter Fanfic Book 3)

Chapter - 8

Srry it took me so long! I hope this makes up for it though =) Enjoy...

Leorio:

Milly and Kurapika disappeared into the cockpit for almost twenty minutes, whoever he is calling must have a lot to say. When Kurapika finally emerges he has a smile on his face and he is chuckling. It makes me nervous.

We are now about 15 hours into our 78 hour flight, we have a long way to go. And having all these Zoldyck people in the jet with us doesn’t make the ride any more pleasant. Amane, aside from when she spoke to Milly, hasn’t moved a muscle since we boarded, not even a striated muscle. (that mean facial muscle) Kalluto is acting very serious and composed, but his glare makes me uncomfortable. He has softened a couple of times when he played some games with Alluka but even then he acted awkward and uncomfortable.

Canary is actually acting fairly normal. She is talking with Milly and Gon, she and Milly even put braids in Alluka’s hair. She is doing fine except for when she looks over at Pokkle. Whenever she does I can feel the tension rise in air, you could almost cut it with a knife. And Alluka is her own category of strange! I mean I know in her mind she is a female, but to look at her and know she is a male is sort of disconcerting. Though, my little princess seems to really enjoy having a little sister to take care of so I have kept my mouth shut.

We are all eagerly awaiting the time when we will finally be able to eat, I am famished! Kyra has been hoarding her apple and eating a couple bites every few minutes. I have to keep telling myself to not think about food, otherwise I get nauseous because I am so hungry. 

The flight was fairly uneventful for the next 15 hours, only 12 more until we get to eat. Most of us decide to try and sleep some more to make the time pass more quickly. After only a few short hours of sleep, however, we are violently shaken awake by the turbulence of the jet. Then we hear Gotoh’s voice over the com. “Every strap yourselves down, we are going through a thunder storm this may get a little rough.” He says calmly.

We all immediately comply and start buckling in, little Alluka seems terrified. I can’t blame her, the jet is rocking back and forth like crazy. I myself am very unnerved and it isn’t helping the nausea situation. 

After nearly an hour it begins to quake even harder, we must be getting close to the eye of the storm because the wind is getting stronger and we hear hail hitting the hull. Poor little Alluka is just about to come undone as Milly tries desperately to calm her down.

“It’s ok, only a little storm. I promise we will be alright.” Milly tells her frantically. But there seems to be no consoling her. “Fire flies… at sunset… umm… flying?” Milly babbles. ‘What is she trying to say?’ I wonder. “Kyra how does that song go? You remember the one you would sing to me when I was upset.”

“Oh, yeah. I think I remember.” Kyra replies softly. “Gon switch places with me.” She and Gon both unstrap and cautiously make their ways to each other’s seat. Once they are sat down and buckled again Kyra lays her hand on Alluka’s shoulder. “Hey sweetie, you don’t have to cry. It will all be fine, you’ll see.” Then Kyra takes a moment to think. “Umm… ha, its been forever.” She clears her throat,

“Sun goes down, and we are here together.

Fire flies glow like a thousand charms.

Stay with me and you can dream forever,

Right here in my arms…

 tonight…”

Kyra’s voice sounds strong and smooth; there isn’t the slightest hint of something being wrong in her voice. Milly joins in; as they sing Alluka stops crying and slowly lifts her head out of Milly’s lap.
