E i g h t | My ✕ Greatest ✕ Memory
RECAP//
"Hey Killua, maybe we should take her with us. It'll be dangerous to leave a girl alone at nights." he says.
"But it'll be more dangerous if she comes with us, it's dark outside. It will be the best if she stays here." I said.
"You do have a a point," he said.
We started to walk outside the apartment as we reached outside, leaving Alyssa alone.
"Hey Gon, what did you wrote in the letter?" I asked.
He chuckled. "We would be taking a long break time~"
The two young boys began to walk through the town at night to find there targets for annihilation, with a sense of duty, they were very wary from the darkness in the town. It was eerie.
"Do you think one will appear tonight?" Gon asked his companion.
"Probably one will appear. More importantly, I'm getting bad vibes about this mission of ours." Killua says seriously.
"You're just too careful. Nothing bad will happen."
"It wouldn't hurt to be careful."
Meanwhile, up ahead on the sky scrappers, stood a Witch holding her familiar which was a doll.
"It's hard to spot that little boy in this town filled with filthy humans." she says while searching though the city.
The Witch silently hummed a song while the wind slapped against her skin, it was one tranquil night. Perfect for hunting humans who were asleep and defenseless.
"Hey Nippongi, do you still had the mark that you placed on the human girl?" she asked the doll like familiar.
"Yes, I still have it carved in my palm." the doll replied.
"Good. Track her down, there might be a clue to find that boy. Maybe he is with her." the Witch says.
"I understand, my goddess." the doll bowed in front of the wicked female in sign of respect.
A grimace sinister grin shadowed on the female's face as she looked up on the crescent moon up above the sky.
"Indeed, tonight will be a feast."
✢✩✦✩✦✩✦✢
"They're nowhere to be found..." Killua whined as he sat down on the bench across the street.
"Well, the night must be their handicap. They are good at hiding in the dark which was convenient." Gon says as he sat down beside him.
Silence bestowed the both of them as they looked up at the starry skies above, thinking of a plan to hunt their target which were the Witches.
"It's been awhile since we had this type of adventure again, didn't we?" Gon suddenly brought up.
"Yeah." Killua replied. "Did you had fun bonding with your father?"
"You bet! I really understand why he betrayed me just to become a hunter. He was really cool!"
"I see, that's good to hear."
"How about you? Did you had fun being with your sister, Alluka?"
"Of course. She told me that I should hang out with you again and went back to the mansion, she totally set me free. What a heartless sister."
Gon chuckled softly from his companion's sarscarm. "I wonder how are Kurapika and Leorio doing?"
"They're probably doing well." Killua replied.
"Thank you, Killua." the white haired boy turned around as he saw him smiling at him.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" he asked, confused.
"I'm just glad that I met you and became friends with you, for me, that was my greatest memory." Gon grinned happily.
A blush crept up on Killua's cheeks as he was flabbergasted from his flattering words that expressed gratitude and kindness. It simply touched his heart.
It was also one of my greatest memory as well, Gon. Thank you.
Suddenly, a huge explosion crashed on a inn across the end of the city as they were alerted by the sound. What a way to ruin a great moment.
"That was from the apartment..." Gon muttered as he saw the source of the sound which was the apartment that was wrecked apart.
"This is bad. Alyssa is in danger!" Killua moved in through his instincts in sense of danger. Electricity hyped through his cells as he activated his aura.
"Godspeed." he muttered as he flashed a huge step forward, rushing to the inn which was where their friend was sleeping at.
Gon ran up the same speed as Killua, both were in par with each other in leg strength that no ordinary human could keep up.
Please be safe.
Alyssa's POV.
My eyes shot open the moment I heard the roofs crumbling from the shock wave vibrating across the room, then I jumped out from the ambush by my instincts.
My feet landed on the ground as I saw someone's silhouette standing on top of the rooftop from the wrecked apartment.
"I found you, little girl~"
My eyes widened as a sweat trickled down my forehead. In a time like this, a Witch appeared. Bad timing.
I felt something ached in pain as I looked down and saw my fingers where glowing brightly, I was utterly speechless. Confused.
My hands were lit up, and I don't why it was like that. It was strange and frightening in the same time.
I looked up and saw the Witch moving her head left to right and vice-versa.
She was seem to be like searching for something or someone, then her eyes landed upon me.
"Hey, human girl." I flinched from the cold tone that rolled out from her tongue.
"Y-Yes?" I squeaked, frozen in place.
"Where is the snowy haired boy that was with you earlier? Tell me."
Snowy haired boy? Does she perhaps mean Killua...?
Alyssa also didn't know where he was or Gon was. She doesn't have an answer for her question nor have any intentions to tell anything to the enemy right in front of her.
"Sorry, I can't tell you." she says.
"Why?" the Witch asked.
"I won't sell out a friend, I would rather die than betraying them."
The wicked female smirked from her bravado. "How heroic~"
"But...your heroic acts will get you killed, little girl." she added.
She raised her hand as Alyssa readied her fighting stance, before calling her familiar.
"Nippongi, kill her."
Someone came out from the darkness as she rushed in towards the salmon haired girl who wasn't aware of her appearance, she completely blended with the darkness.
The doll familiar used two swords to attack Alyssa who used her palm to grab the sharp object that could kill, her eyes widened at the moment she laid upon at the doll.
"You...were from earlier!" she blurted.
The doll's eyes widened, utterly speechless to see that kind big sister again. She wasn't expecting this.
"Onee-chan...?" the doll muttered.
She jumped away from her while holding her swords, she was quivering as she stands on her own.
"Why are you with...that Witch?" Alyssa slowly asked her.
The doll adverted her eyes away from her as she realized something crucial, then the Witch frowned.
"You still don't get it? Stupid human." she stated as every word was filled with venom.
"The girl that you talked to earlier was my familiar, you clearly though that she was just a bystander, didn't you?"
Alyssa was silenced as she started at the doll in disbelief, still couldn't believed it.
The little girl that I gave my muffins to was a Witch's familiar...?
Indeed, she saw a tear rolled down from the broken doll's eyes. Which made her doubt her doubts even more.
"Kill her, Nippongi." the cruel Witch commanded while pointing at the girl.
"Yes." the doll answered before leaping up ahead towards her.
The familiar thrusts it's sword towards Alyssa as her bangs covered her eyes as she was merely following her master's orders.
"Forgive me, Onne-chan."
Alyssa couldn't hit the emotionally broken doll with her hand, let alone guard herself. She was still surprised in how such a kid like her be an Witch's familiar.
I didn't even though that she was a familiar...not one bit. To me, she was one harmless girl. Which was the complete opposite.
