We Belong in Two Different Worlds [Hunter x Hunter]

[Chapter 1]: Last Goodbye

The old and dirty cloth clung to this tiny girls' frame. She was pale and small that even a push of wind would blow her away. Her loose black hair flowed in the direction of the wind and her innocent eyes radiated. She climbed to the top of the trash pile and looked around until she saw something- it was a piece of bread. Her eyes widened and chased towards the piece of bread like a wild animal. She picked up the piece of bread, but before she could walk away with it, a group of older men snatched it away from her.

"Give that back, I found the bread first!" The little girl harshly whispered while shaking

"Haha, you little punk, only the fittest survive. Let's go" The tanned man said and walked away with his gang.

"That's for mama....." She looked down about to cry, but was determined to take that back.

She ran towards the group and gave them a punch in the face. They were unfazed; she was too weak and fragile.

"I was going to let you go, but since you dare to challenge me you b**ch" The tanned man waved his hand and the two other guys beside him walked towards the little girl.

"Oh~ We could do so much worse, but I guess this can count as your first warning" They chuckled and pushed her to the ground while kicking her weak body around. She laid there unable to support her body. The little frame was red from blood and purple from the bruises. Before she passed out, she saw a shadow of another kid, he had raven black hair and wore dark clothing.

It was nighttime, and she was still there where she fainted, except, there beside her was the little piece of bread from earlier that day.

'It must be from that big brother from before. I need to thank him the next time I see. 

Oh no, mama will be worried, I need to get back to her.'

She limped back to the tent covers and kneeled next to the pale and cold body.

"Mama, I brought back food" She whispered and used all her might to lift the weak body into a sitting position. The little girl broke the bread into small pieces easy to digest and fed them into the woman's sunken cheeks. The woman chewed the pieces slowly. After three pieces, the woman puked out her insides. There was blood everywhere and the woman's body went cold.

"MAMA! DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE. PLEASE DON'T DIE. I DON'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE" The little girl sobbed. She knew her mother didn't have much time left. All the neighboring residents caught the same disease and they faced the same fate. High fever and continuous puking until there's nothing else left in the stomach.

The woman looked at her daughter one last time and smiled with regret,

"I wanted to visit a garden of chrysanthemums with you" and with her last breath whispered "Kiku"

That was the small girl's last family. Now, she doesn't have anywhere to go. She left the tent and walked in the moonlight. In Meteor City, the night was always the busiest time; black-markets, assassins, mafia recruits; everything happened then. 

The light in the little girl's eye vanished. What can she do now? She's not strong so no one will want to use her, she has no special skill so she's useless, all she is is trash.

trash...Trash....TRASH

Her legs went limp and she knelt down and cried. No-one wants her anymore. She heard footsteps behind her, but paid no attention. It's ok to die, she doesn't have value anymore. 

"Little girl, what's your name?" A tall man with a serious face looked at her. He was clean and didn't look like an inhabitant of Meteor City. 

"Sir, are you here to kill me?" The little girl asked. She wasn't scared even if that was his purpose.

"No, but instead I want you to come with me. You look like you've suffered" He looked at her bruises and dull eyes, "Come, join my family"

He reached out his hands and the little girl hesitantly took them. Its not like she had anywhere else to go.

"Kiku.... My name is Kiku" She whispered to him, she never had a name, but she wanted to remember her mother's last word.
