After one week...

Sherry has been stucked on many works; ranging from laboratory experimentations, researches, data gathering, building designs, VIP meetings, down to assisting Netero to the revision of the Hunter Exams..

She's overloaded with work... After all she's a Freelancer Hunter, a title she only holds. Every important and delicate assignments are handed down to her.

Most hunters & ordinary people don't know that at the age of 9, she became the fastest applicant to pass the Hunter examinations (which is after she defeated Netero in a game). She also became one of the most proficient hunters at 10 years old because she captured a lot of Class B criminals.

She also designed and built the Trick Tower... And one of the people who helped and assisted Ging Freecs in his works.

She became a double star hunter at the age of 14 and ranked among the top 5 best Nen users in the Hunter World.

She's considered as the world's best prodigy and she's also one of the protegés of Netero, alongside Ging and Pariston Hill.

She's also the head of all divisions in the Hunter society : Intelligence Division and Medical Division are one of the divisions she handles.

Yeah, she's really one of a kind... An intellectual monster indeed....

But what is she doing in a plain.country side and walking around the beach? Isn't she supposed to be on the Hunter Association?!

*Three days ago*

Sherry was walking along the aisle of the Hunter Association. People who works in there greatly respects her.

Because they know that behind those brick walls surrounding her heart... Deep inside she's fragile and caring.

They even hate to think that there are people who calls her in nasty ways.

Sherry's POV

It's been a while since that old geezer invited me to come here. *sighs* I hope he won't take too much of my time. I'm still loaded with all the researches needed for that place...

Author's POV

She then entered the office of the Chairman and found him sitting on a couch and drinking chamomile tea.

"Glad you're here!" Netero exclaimed upon seeing Sherry.

"You said that you have something to say." Sherry plainly said and went to sit in a chair beside Netero.

"Want some tea, its chamomile..." Netero offered Sherry.

"Thanks but no thanks, I'm full." Sherry said.

"But... Its your favorite?!" Netero said in diappointment.

"Now don't act like a kid, old man. Ok, fine. I'll drink a cup." Then Sherry offered her cup to Netero.

Netero poured the tea on Sherry's cup and Sherry drinks it in a feminine and gentle manner.

"I really love watching you drinking tea." Netero said and chuckles a bit.

"Even in drinking tea there should be an art." Sherry said while focusing on drinking.

"So why did you call me? Any problems?"

"Nah... I just want to talk to you."

"You know that I'm loaded with plenty of works right?"

"I know. That's why I called you here."

Sherry just looked at Netero in a curious way; one eyebrow up.

"What's the matter?"

Netero looked back at Sherry with fatherly eyes and gave a sigh.

"*sigh* You need some rest."

"A rest?!" Sherry exclaimed.

*end of flashback*

Author's POV

So that's how she got in there. A countryside called Oceana.. An island where you can find the world's most beautiful beaches. She's been there for three days

Sherry's POV

"You need a rest"

"But I still have things to do."

"Never mind those things. You have already done your part. Now its time for you to relax."

"Why?"

"Kira told me that you've been crying for nights..."

"Why did Kira---"

"Sherry, don't cling too much in the past. Move on..."

"I- I can't..."

"You need to... And you have too. Rest that tainted heart of yours..."

*sighs* Kira shouldn't have told that man that I cry every night. I'm already caught up on my works and I was almost forgetting everything...

I miss them... My family... My life before... I-I- I want to be with them....

Then I suddenly cried... Unfortunately Kira didn't come with me. He said that I should wind up alone for me to better handle myself...

Darn it! I need him right now! I need a shoulder to cry on!

I need someone...

Anyone....

Bad luck for me... There was no one... I'm all alone... Only the waves in the seashore shares my agony...

I've been here for three days but I wasn't able to find anyone here I'm familiar with.

What was I thinking?! Of course I won't find anyone I know here. Netero-geezer planned this so-called vacation and I assume that he made sure that I will be alone.

This is his definition of rest... For me to be alone...

>_<!!! I don't even think that its my rest day! I am being stressed more!

Better stroll around the island more than crying...

*after two hours of walking*

I'm tired and bored. I am tired of walking.

"Is there anybody there I knoooooooowwwwwww!!!!!" I shouted at the top of my voice... I even choke ^^.

"why are you so noisy?"

I heard someone from behind me... When I turn around... I saw him...

That person...
