Icy Eyes •||• Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 19

I stayed at the Troupe's hideout for a couple more hours, talking with Chrollo. He told me that the person who sent me and my sister to 'Reality' was a Kurta, and that was the main reason they attacked the clan; the Scarlet Eyes were just a bonus. It may not justify their actions, but I understood. I understood, because I did the same thing when Ace was killed.

When he asked about my old life and what I meant when I answered his question about my death, I felt obliged to tell him. I honestly didn't expect him to care much about it, but he was practically oozing blood lust. I may or may not have mentioned the fact that I know what was going to go down in the future, but refused to let anything else slip.

I also didn't answer a single question he asked about my Nen abilities, which made him laugh. He may be my father, but he was still a wanted criminal; and you can never be too careful. If I were being honest, it felt nice. Sitting and talking. He asked me to join the Spiders, to which I declined. I may have killed people, but none were innocent. I'd never take an innocent life.

I also knew the reason behind my powerful Nen now. My parents both had extremely strong auras, and my aura nodes opened when I was much younger, but when I was sent away, I was put in a state of Zetsu. All the power built up over the years, increasing with every passing day. After I died, the power amplified even more, and now I was fairly certain that I could take on one of the Spiders. The same thing would have happened to Blaise. And while I had full control over ice, wind and water so far, my sister would have control over fire, smoke and earth. Our Nen was like that because of our mother; she was what you could call an Elemental. She had control over all elements; I inherited half and my sister got the other.

I was afraid of my friends' reactions when they found out the full truth about me, but a voice in my head kept telling to let them in. In the end, I decided to do it when the time felt right; after this mess was over. Did Killua know I was his cousin, though? The rest of the Zoldycks sure did.

Early the next morning, I was getting ready to go out with Gon, Killua, Leorio and Kurapika. As I was putting on my shoes, my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw it was Mitsuba. She called to ask my opinion on her idea for a Nen ability. 

To say her idea was unique was probably the biggest understatement. She wanted to try and let her body memorize different DNAs, be it human of animal, and manipulate her own DNA to match another's. Meaning, she'd be able to make herself look like anyone or anything as long as her body has the DNA memorized. 

I was surprised for I never even thought about that as a possibility. All manipulators only ever create abilities to control other's actions, never appearances.  

I quickly left the room, my footsteps echoing through the hall. I went to the hotel we were meeting at and entered the elevator, quickly pressing the button. Once it stopped, I headed to the room Kurapika got.

I opened the door and entered. "Hey guys. Sorry, I got held up."

"Hey. As I was saying, we just have to stay away from them. Since they've already checked you out, they think that you're clean." Leorio said. They were talking about the Troupe, huh?

"There is also a guy called Nobunaga, he's really dangerous. He's looking for Kurapika! And he's still trying to get me, Gon and Kat." Killua warned them.

I interjected, "I could take him. I may have never seen him in action, but I'm sure I can fight him on even ground."

"How can you be so sure of that?"

I took a breath and looked at them seriously. "Kurapika, you should be receiving a message from Hisoka any minute now."

"Hisoka?!" They all spluttered, looking between us. "What's he got to do with this?"
