~Chapter Eighteen~

To be honest, you had no idea how you were going to beat Gittaracker, and especially since you felt quite lightheaded from all the blood you lost. You hadn't realized it, but your cut was deeper than you had thought.

You decided you would do your best as you and Hisoka made your way back to the arena.

Hisoka walked right into the fighting area, preparing to fight Kurapika as Leorio explained how Gon got his license. Relieved, a weight lifted off your chest knowing that Gon didn't go through all that just to amount to nothing.

You were also very thankful that nobody asked about your arm, although it was barely noticable thanks to Hisoka's pink nen ability.

Hisoka's 'fight', if one could even call it that, ended rather abruptly and all of a sudden it was your turn.

Trudging into the arena, you prepared yourself mentally to fight the pinhead. 

But to your surprise, right as the ref said begin, Gittaracker surrendered, and walked back to the wall, leaving you in shock standing in the middle of the area where you had planned to have a massive showdown of power.

Subconsciously, you were looking forward to having someone worthy of fighting.

Pulling yourself together, you stalked toward Gittaracker, and caught him by surprise by pulling his collar so his head was at your level, and whispered,

"After this, I'm going to beat the living shit out of you, if you're not too scared, that is."

Unknowingly, you had gained the interest of the strange man.

The aura around you changed, you not knowing if it was a good or bad one. 

You could feel both Hisoka and Gittaracker's auras pulsate through the air as if the two were having a wordless argument.

You could tell they were acquainted somehow, and something had set them off.

Pretty soon, it was time for Killua to fight Gittaracker, since he had 'lost' the fight with you.

All you could really make out was something about brothers, until you were mesmerized with Gittaracker's appearance changing one he removed the pins from his face.

He was a completely different person, with his long hair flowing out behind him, and his big black eyes bore into Killua's timid ones.

"Illumi Zoldyck." Hisoka said from over your shoulder.

"Wha-"

"The eldest Zoldyck child. He was sent to bring Killua home, who had stabbed his brother, Milluki, and his mother, Kikyo, before running away."

You knew Gittaracker had been hiding something, but being Killua's brother? It was something you hadn't expected. 

"So this is why Gittara- I mean Illumi, threw his match with me?" you asked.

"Yes. His plan was to bring Killua home this way."

With you being unable to intervene, you watched as Illumi fluctuated his aura toward the white haired child, and witnessed the fight going on inside Killua's head. 

You couldn't make out what the tall man was saying, but you saw as he broke whatever confidence Killua built in himself during his time away from home. It was almost like he was hypnotizing the kid.

"Fine then. I'll just kill Gon." Illumi said clear as day.

Everybody looked worried, but you knew you would die before you saw either of those boys in mortal danger.
