The gust of wind blew against her salmon hair as she stared at the boy who came in her rescue, her eyes were only seeing no one but him.

"I do not know who you are, but it doesn't matter. I'll kill you." the Witch seriously says as she leaped towards the white haired boy and attacked him with her right arm.

The boy counter attacked it with his knuckles as they've began throwing punches at each other, he used his lightning while attacking the female.

After a clash of fists that occurred, they've distanced themselves away from each other for awhile, trying to catch their breathe in the middle of the intense heat of the battle.

"You're pretty strong, aren't you?" the Witch complimented him.

No doubt. He really is powerful. Alyssa thought while watching the battle in front of her.

"But you aren't that very strong just like they told me." the boy said, very confident about his skills.

"Don't be so cocky, punk!" the wicked female snickered darkly.

The boy was about to leap and attack her when he felt someone grabbed his wrist as he turned around and saw the girl from yesterday.

"You're...the one from yesterday." he started as he stared at her face.

"Please run!" she exclaimed.

His mesmerizing blue eyes stared at her deep pinkish eyes with confusion.

"What? Why would I do that?"

"That Witch is incredibly strong, I'll figure out what to do with her, so now please, run away!"

He pulled his wrist from her grip as he step forward while his back faced her.

"You're the one who should run. I'm through with running away..."

He took a step forward and broke in a run, leaving her standing still. She stretched her hand to reach him, however it fell down back to its place.

That wasn't what I meant...

The white haired boy began to attack the Witch again with his full power, then he thrusts both of his palm as sparks started appearing before yelling his attack name.

"Lightning Palm!"

Blue sparks appeared from his palm as it struck the Witch's body, she was electrocuted by the lightning.

"I'm not done yet!" the female yelled as he grabbed both of his wrists and threw him, he was blown away while many trees were destroyed from his impact. Then he was stopped by a huge rock blocking his stopping area.

Alyssa ran up to him hurriedly and stared at him who was injured from the attack that the female threw.

"Are you okay?" she asked the most dumbest question to him.

"Yeah. I'm fine." he quickly said as he stood up on his feet again while he was bleeding.

"Y-You shouldn't be standing...you're hurt!" Alyssa panicked.

"Gah! You're noisy. I said I'm fine." he irked as the girl flinched from his tone.

Her eyes started to be watery as he clammed his mouth after seeing this, then she turned to him before smiling.

"I'm sorry for being noisy." she says.

Then she began walking few steps forward the Witch in front of them as the boy was confused.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"I'm going to fight against her, so please use that chance and escape." she replied without looking at him.

"What?" he was flabbergasted.

"Don't get in my way, this is something I must do by myself. This is the mission assigned to me." she said seriously while her aura started to change.

"Aren't you worn out yourself?" he asked again.

"I'll be fine. Run now." she says.

The Witch used her arm to slash an attack as the floor crumbled and was sliced to one piece. Alyssa raised her hand in mid-air as the trees' branch began to stretch and move to attack the wicked female.

I can't use my Nen properly, however, I think I could do this. she thought as determination filled her chest.

"It's useless!" the Witch yelled as she slashed the branches out of the way, then a spear of light appear and was about to hit her when someone grabbed her and saved her.

Alyssa's back touched the grass as she slowly opened her eyes and met a pair of blue eyes staring at her with concern. She just noticed that she was saved by him again who was pinning her down right now.

"I beg of you! At the very least, you should make it out of here alive!" she pleaded at the boy on top of her.

Then he turned at the Witch who was smirking mischievously at them, planning something evil that could kill the both of them.

"It looks like she'll kill us either way." he calmly says to her.

"Why are you so...?" he turned to face her as he was utterly surprised to see tears flowing out of her eyes.

"I was so happy...I was given a mission to annihilate the Witches on my own, I've never been on a journey until now." she covered her face with her little hands as she cried.

While they were talking, the Witch was walking as she made her way to kill the two children.

"I was so worried. I wasn't familiar with the places in this town nor I am good at memorizing maps, everything was so unknown to me that it was scary...and I wasn't able to rely on anyone."

"But you...someone who didn't even know who I was...saved me not only once, but twice and treated me kindly."

"That's why I don't want to get you involved any further. You, whose name I don't even know!" she cried.

The white haired boy stared at her crying face as she was so broken inside, then a memory played in his head that something like this had occurred before.

"I never imagined how frustrating weakness could be...!"

His lips curved in a smile before placing his thumb near her eyes as he began to wipe away the salty tears rolling down her cheeks, gently.

"Killua. That's my name."

Her eyes widened as she heard that name just earlier, she was utterly surprised.

"Indeed. One of them is an assassin called Killua Zoldyck and—"

Killua Zoldyck...? So he's one of the people who fought against the Chimera ants....?

The Witch appeared from his back as she thrusts her arm to the boy and was about to kill him when he instantly stood up and electrocuted her once again with his flashy attacks.

"Now then, let's do this. Witch!" he snickered as lighting dance through his fingers, then he went up and whipped it against the female.

The battle against lightning and snake commenced as he brought out both of his yo-yos and wrapped its thread around the Witch. He sent his lighting through the aluminium toy as it traveled to the Witch body.

"AAAAAH!!!" she yelped in pain.

His nails turned sharp as veins popped on his hands before thrusting it in the Witch's chest, to her heart.

The lightning faded over time as her body fell on the ground while blood streamed out of the wound in her chest, in one look, anyone can tell that she's dead now.

The boy moved his hands as the blood dripped down his nails, he turned around and saw the girl who was crying earlier, sat on the ground and just stared at him with gawked.

"It seems like you're not hurt, are you?" he asked her.

She shook her head as he sighed in relief, he was able to save a life of someone who is unknown to him.

"Is that so...Thank good—" his legs  began to shake as his eyesight was slowly losing its light.

Before he could fell on the ground, Alyssa hurriedly run up to catch him as he fell on her arms. He was now in a deep sleep, probably so exhausted.

"Thank you, Killua."
