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

Chapter - 12

Im updating really late at night and can barely see the keyboard =) Enjoy1

Gon:

I sit by myself in the pew. ‘I never in a million years would have imagined that bring my friends home to meet my family would have led to all of this.’ I think nostalgically. ‘It is hard to imagine where we might be and what we would be doing. We would have never met Milly, Killua would have never had to return to his old life, Aunt Mito would be on Whale Island working at the shop, Pokkle and Ponzu would be on their honeymoon instead of here, and Leorio would be studying right now… So many bad things have happened to everyone that I care about, ." A tear of frustration and guilt threatens to appear.

'But I don’t think I would change a thing! To never meet Milly or Kyra, to never see Leorio because he is busy at school, and for Kurapika to be off somewhere slowly dying in his quest for revenge. The way I see it, this was all a blessing in disguise. And the biggest blessing of them all was for me to get to know Milly. She is such a caring person underneath her rough exterior same as Killua. She is gentle, loving, mature, respectful, intelligent, and a much better person than anyone here. Being around her makes me smile like it used to be with Killua, but it is more than that. I cant quite put my finger on it but there is something about being around her that puts butterflies in my stomach but at the same time I feel like I can just be myself. When she walks into a room my heart begins to race and my hands get jittery. But then when we talk to each other we are always completely honest with one another and I always know I can trust her. The longer I think about it the more I begin to think that I may…’

“Hey Gon, whatcha thinking?” Milly interrupts my train of thought.

I am NOT about to tell her what I was just thinking, “You should know.” I answer coolly.

“You mind is too mixed up for me to make out a distinct thought, I was just worried about you.” She continues. ‘Phew!’ I think.

“Well I am just thinking about what’s going to happen, who I am going to fight…” I ramble on.

“I can tell this much, that isn’t what is really bothering you.” She tells me. She lays her hand reassuringly on my shoulder. Her warm and tender touch...

Then what else could I be worried about, “I guess I am just scared that we wont make it in time to save them.” I admit.

“We cant start thinking like that.” Milly tells me firmly.

“I know. That’s why I am trying to distract myself by thinking about all that other stuff.” I tell her.

“Well we are going to need a more organized plan of attack.” Canary says from behind. We were distracted and didn’t see her come up behind us. Milly pulls her hand away in discomfort.

“You’re right. We cant just blindly run in there, we have to have an idea of who is going where and what is going to happen.” Milly agrees.

“A strategy.” Kurapika voices in.

“Right, who usually came up with the strategies?” Milly asks.

“Well… In the old days it was usually Killua.” I tell her.

“Oh, well then who would be next in line? Kalluto are you any good at strategy games?” She asks him.

“Yes.” He replies shortly.

“If you don’t mind I think I can be of assistance, Master Kalluto. I am well versed.” Gotoh offers.

“Alright, what is the first thing we need to do?” I ask.
