Killing a Heart

3: A Mysterious Death

"Dead?"

Killua and Gon hadn't been paying attentions to their surroundings due to the distractions, so neither of them noticed what had happened to the boy.

"He doesn't even look dead. He looks like he's just sleeping."

Killua stepped closer, trying to find the cause of death or at least a hint as to what happened, as Gon stood on alert.

Killua reached forward, but before he could touch the body, it quickly faded to nothing.

"What the hell was that?" Killua turned to Gon.

"The Hunter Hunter."

Killua growled, "This guy is really pissing me off. Just a matter of time before he goes after us. Why are they doing it? What is the goal?"

"And how are they doing it? He disappeared, so the assailant must have...turned him to nothing?" Gon added in confusion.

"No, I'm sure there is some weird Nen thing going on." Killua focused Gyo into his eyes so he could have a closer look, but he saw nothing.

"How can a body just vanish...?" He looked at Gon ,who was also using Gyo.

Gon had trained and meditated every single day after finding out he couldn't use Nen. Slowly he was able to get it back, but it was way weaker than before. Right at that moment Gon's Nen was equal to that of his 12 year old self, even though he was 22 years old. On the other hand, Killua had the full 22 years of Nen experience, so he was much more advanced than Gon, so advanced he actually held the title of 'World's Greatest Nen User' alongside Gon, but it was complicated. Killua worked extra hard for the both of them, and lent a lot of Nen to Gon during battles. Together the two were an undefeatable force.

"The Hunter Hunter must be a manipulator." Killua stated. "How did you come to that conclusion?" "It's just a guess, but if they are they could be using the same technique that Chimera Ant used. Turning himself into clones the size of cells." "We'd be able to see it with Gyo though-" "I can't sense anybody. I've had my En on this whole time and I haven't sensed anybody." Killua's En could cover a 3 mile radius.

" This Hunter Hunter is really pissing me off. They must be some Nen master if they're able to sneak through my En."

Gon smiled a huge grin.

"Stop, I know that look. It's not gonna be that exciting-" "This is going to be awesome. We're gonna kick their butt-" "Gon, you're 22 you can say ass if you want." Killua laughed.

"Whoever finds the Hunter Hunter's identity first...gets to make the other do whatever they want, and there are no limits." Gon waged. "So if I won and told you to kill yourself, you'd do it?" Killua questioned Gon. "Of course." Gon smiled wide. "Ha, you have yourself a deal."
