    The morning came and it's also the day for our departure. I couldn't believe that I'll be leaving this island after a year of staying here. It's been my second home.

But I knew that I won't be staying for too long. I have to find my father and return to my real home in Yorknew City. Now that I finally removed my arm, I could live a normal life and protect those I loved.

   "Did you bring everything?" Mito said as she was just standing beside the door with one of her hands resting in her waist. She plastered a smile on her face, saying goodbye.

  We also smiled at her for a farewell. Gon was also coming since we'll be meeting with Killua and Alluka at Zaban City. Come to think of it, that's the first place where we all meet up together. Time really flies.

 "Yes!" Gon answered as we both started to grab our backpacks, ready for the departure. Just like Gon who was wearing his green shorts and sweater, I also wore the waitress outfit that the Captain gave me. I just couldn't leave it behind.

  "Then... good luck." She said, now crossing her arms, as she leaned to the door.

 We stepped outside the house and took a last good look at Mito. Gon raised his hand and waved.

"Bye, Aunt Mito!" He yelled as he was still continued to wave his hand to her.

  "Thank you very much!" I bowed down to her as a gesture of my thanks for letting me stay. Then, I looked at my friend that was standing beside me and nodded.

We started walking towards the port and rode the gigantic ship, just like how we first met. I was once a ship worker at that time, cleaning the deck, and sneakily helping with lifting the cargoes.

  After remembering those times, I started wishing to see Captain and my co-workers again. It's been three years since I left them to go on a journey in finding out about my arm and now, I missed them.

  Finally, we made it to Zaban City, where we all planned to meet up. I could still remember the time where I decided to join the Hunter exam and trying to catch up on Gon and the others. It's really a funny moment, but at the same time, a sad one. I have to leave the Captain for it.

  As both of us were running towards the bulletin board, where we all decided to meet up, I saw two figures waiting for us in a far distance. We got a closer look and I couldn't help but widen my eyes at the sight.

  A boy with silver messy hair, wearing the same outfit as before, and a girl with long black hair in somewhat a kimono outfit, except for her skirt with frills.

I couldn't be wrong. That was Killua and Alluka, standing right there, waiting for us. I increased my speed and ran faster than before until I reached their position.

Because of my effort, I started panting and begging for air. I know that it's just a year since I've seen them but it feels like it's almost an eternity.

"You really came back, just like you promised me," I said to Killua with a warm smile at him. It's been a year since I've seen his face. His blue eyes are like that of a sapphire gem, and his presence is both intimidating and comfortable.

"I like you too, Secco."

  As soon as I remembered his confession that answered mine, I couldn't help but combust. My cheeks started to get warmer than usual, so I covered my whole face by lowering my head.
