Chapter 4: A New Adventure

◇ ═ Start of Chapter 4 ═ ◇

Taisiya's POV

Around 20 minutes had passed since I started walking with the two strangers. Although I wasn't tired, I was getting nervous as I was clueless about their identities. I knew the man's name was Kite as that was what the boy had called him but I still hadn't known who he was nor who the boy's name was.

I also had a hunch that I was already inside the Hunter X Hunter world. It would explain how Kite was able to summon the floating clown and pull a gun out of nowhere which would've been impossible if we were still in the real world.

"Taisiya," the boy suddenly called, startling me. "My name is Ikki, and that's Kite," the boy pointed to the man standing beside him who just nodded. I nodded back to him before looking at Ikki.

"So... Who's the man from before?" Ikki didn't seem sure on how to answer as he said something to Kite who shook his head towards Ikki.

"He was a wanted criminal." Ikki turned back towards me.

My eyes widen at the man's identity. "Not five minutes in and I already had a criminal after my head? Jesus I hadn't even gotten the chance to do something wrong!" I let out a soft mutter, having felt deeply wronged by the situation.

Kite stopped and said something to Ikki who translated it to me, "Kite said we should rest here for a while." I nodded and sat down a bit further away from Ikki and Kite.

"Why was he trying to kill me?" I asked the boy, still offended by the lack of murder reason. Ikki looked at me as if he was confused.

"Hmm? I assumed it was because you have the same last name as The Ghost Kings."

"The Ghost Kings?"

"Yes, The Ghost Kings. Their last names are also Vasiliev."

Kite suddenly spoke from beside Ikki. I could vaguely hear him mention the name Vasiliev in an unfamiliar Japanese accent.

"Their names are Kazimir Vasiliev and Ilya Vasiliev," Ikki translated for me.

My mind went to the story the man who I still doubt is my dad told me about. How does he know about that?

"I know who Kazimir Vasiliev is but who is Ilya Vasiliev?" I asked Ikki. The boy's eyes widen at my question and didn't say anything for a while as he gaped at me.

"Ikki," Kite pulled Ikki out of his daze. Ikki looked at him before saying something. Kite listened to what he said before saying something to him than facing me.

"Kite told me to translate what he's saying," Ikki said to me. I tilted my head confused but nodded.

"What do you know about Kazimir Vasiliev?" Kite asked through Ikki. Despite not knowing who these people were, I was desperate to know what was happening and having been saved by them, I was willing to trust them with my information.

"Well, I recently found out that Kazimir Vasiliev is my grandfather," I started without knowing how to talk about what I knew of him without mentioning the Hunter X Hunter anime.

"To be honest, I barely know anything about him. All I know is that he was a genius who was power-hungry and used his Nen to steal other people's Nen. When he got too powerful, someone locked him up but now he got out of his prison," I finally decided to say.

As Kite and I turned to Ikki, I saw that he was looking at me full of confusion, nervousness, and fear. It was weird seeing such a serious expression on such a kid like Ikki.
