Chapter 48: Escape

~~Minji's P.O.V.~~


Finally. A break.

Several weeks had passed.

Amiko and I collapsed down on all fours due to exhaustion

We panted and panted and I decided to lie on my stomach to ease my muscles a bit

Mou. Greed Island Arc is one of the most amazing Arc in the anime and he wants me to just skip it? BUT THEN I WON'T SEE GON AND KILLUA TEAMING UP WITH HISOKA AND DEFEATING THE-

Mom clapped her hands and gave a hearty laugh "Let's have a little break for now..."

Amiko copied my actions and laid down "Why... Don't you... Guys ever go... easy on us..?" He said between breaths

Riku appeared and tilted his head "Huh? But I thought we were going easy just now..."

"EEEEHHHHH???" Amiko and I shared a knowing look

They're gonna kill us...

"I think I might pass out..." Amiko muttered

"Don't idiot."

"Who tf you calling idiot?!"

"Baaaaaakkaaaaa!"

Riku then offered me a water bottle and Mom offered one to Amiko

God knows where they got that.

I declined and dived into the river beside us

"Oi Minji! Sto-"

I resurfaced for some air and saw a drenched Ski getting out of the water "Minji you brat. Did you forget I'm inside your pocket?"

I widened my eyes "You were??"

Was he in camouflage?

He crossed his arms and walked away as Riku tossed a towel over him that covered his whole body "Fanks..." Ski mumbled

"He said Thanks." I told Riku and he smiled

"Sorry Ski, I didn't mean it."

He dried himself and waved it off saying it's okay and not to do it again

Mom facepalmed "How many times have I told you not to dive into the river after sweating so much?"

I played with the water "But it's so hot..."

Amiko smirked "It's because I'm-" his sentence got cut off when a splash of water hit his face

I bursted out laughing and Amiko dived after me for revenge. Riku and Mom shook their head at us

"I told them so many times not to do that."

"And here I thought they're out of energy..."

We both got off the water, feeling refreshed and... more tired

I look up the clouds and thought for a moment

I wonder what's happening to Killua and the others...

I widened my eyes and remembered

It's Greed Island arc and the part where... where...

H-Hisoka...

I walked up to Riku and faced him directly "Please show me the way to Gon and Killua."

He facepalmed "I expected this."

I came closer "Please, you have to tell me."

He raised and eyebrow "And why is that?"

I started sweating bullets and scratched the back of my head nervously "W-Why? Well of course I-I miss them! That's it! Hehehe..."

He sighed "We both know it's the Greed Island Arc. You just want to see Hisoka naked."

Yes I do- wait WHAT?

I looked anywhere but him "W-What? No! I.. I don't know w-what you're talking about."

Oh I definitely know what you're talking about.

"Ooohhh~ Is someone a closet pervert?" Amiko suddenly appeared behind me I made a roundhouse kick but he dodged swiftly "Shut up."

Minako crossed her arms, proud

Well, they're improving. She thought.

I continued bickering with Riku trying to get an answer out of him

After some moment, I sighed in defeat and sat on my butt "Aw man..."

"Pervert."

"Haaah?? You pickin' up a fight?!"

"Haaahh?? You wanna spar?"

"Bring it on."

I closed my eyes and suddenly thought "Oh yeah. Hey guys, why are you training us so hard?"

"Because you need to get stronger."

I looked back at my Mom with the same amount of seriousness "For what?"

.

.

.

"Whe need you two to help fight the Chimera ants."

~~Meanwhile~~

~~Killua's P.O.V.~~

Gon and I widened our eyes at the scene. Bisky- hag and the others didn't dare to move and that hag didn't even tear her eyes off the person infront of us.

There was a name of 'Chrollo' in our contacts. But Chrollo, the Phantom Troupe's leader has been disabled by Kurapika. We teleported to that person.

And what a wrong timing.

There stood the creepy clown, Hisoka.

He had his hair down and just finished taking a bath in a lake

Naked.

The old hag fangirled while Gon and I had a face that said 'wtf'

Oh God I would've covered Minji's eyes right away if she was here...

I suddenly came back to my senses

Minji...

Wait.

My eyes widened more than I thought it could

If this happened to Gon and I, does that mean Minji watched this in that 'anime' thing? She saw Hisoka naked? No... No no no...

What the fxck.

~~Big Timeskip brought to you by Hisoka's abs~~

~~Minji's P.O.V.~~

Finally. Another break.

A few months had passed.

Yep. That long. We have travelled around anywhere I don't know and I'm sure we're on the Chimera ant arc

Well, we're back in this forest.

I improved my endurance, agility, stamina, strength, speed, strategizing, fast thinking and stuff.

I also trained and mastered my air and earth thanks to Riku

I learned how to conjure different weapons all at the same time.

I already mastered my ribbon by myself long ago, amd katana with Min-Min. I only trained with the daggers, guns, and bow and arrow thanks to Amiko.

God I even trained the demon side of me that I used when I killed Midoriku's master. Y'know, that green eyed Spider wannabe.

The side of me where I almost murdered Amiko and the others.

Good thing Mom's there to knock me out.

I improved somehow but I barely got the hang of it.

And I heard a bird

Everyone perked up at the sound made by the creature and it finally showed itself

I sat up and looked at the bird flying towards me

Ski pointed out "Hey Ji-Ji. Isn't that Mika?"

I stood up and held my right arm out and the eagle landed on it

"Oh god Mika. It's really you."

"Long time no see Minji."

Riku and Mom walked towards us, Amiko sleeping on the ground "You know this guy?"

I nodded "Yeah. She's an eagle that can find anyone's location. And a friend."

I patted her head with two fingers "Hi Mika. I hope you enjoyed THE BIRD POOP YOU LEFT ON MY HEAD!!" I went to karate chop her but she flew away and landed on Riku's shoulder

"Yes I did. You deserved it."

"What did I even do to you?"

"Nothing."

"You little-"

"I have a message for you."

I was taken aback and raised my eyebrows

That's right. If she went this far to me, it must've been a big deal.

"We'll talk about it later. Have you eaten yet?"

Mika shook her head and we went to catch fish for her. We went into the forest right after and I sat on the ground as she landed infront of me

I noticed the tube tied to her talon. I quickly untied it and inspected the claw "Was it tied too tightly? Are you injured?"

"Are you concerned? That's scary..."

"What's wrong with that?!" I pouted

I removed the cork and took three rolled paper "What's this?"

"It's for you."

~~Flashback~~

~~Gon's P.O.V.~~

It's empty.

Killua and I went to the Republic of East Georteau to stop the selection process

But it's deserted.

Suddenly a bird screamed and it looks like an eagle

Our attention directed towards it as it flew closer to us. As it neared, I recognized it

I jumped up and down while pointing at the bird "Hey! It's the bird at home! I saw it so many times! Why are you here??"

Killua went beside me "You know it?"

The eagle landed infront of us and raised its left claw with a tube tied to it

Killua turned to me "I think it wants us to get that thing." Referring to the tube

I agreed and gently untied the tube from the talon and Killua opened it. His eyes widened after reading the handwritten letter on the paper inside the tube. His breathing changed

"Gon. Look at this." He handed me the paper

I took it from him and read it

'Write a letter. I will bring it to Minji. She's safe.'

I teared up a bit "Minji..."

Killua collapsed on his knees and held his head with one hand "Is... Is she really safe...?"

I kneeled beside him and the eagle went infront of us and nodded, as if to assure us that she's really safe

"Killua... I miss her.."

"Me too."

He stood up and wiped his eyes with his sleeves "Gon."

I also stood up and waited for his next words

"Let's write a letter."

~~End of Flashback~~

~~Minji's P.O.V.~~

'Hey Minji! Where are you? We miss you so much. We are at the Republic of East Gorteau. We're on a mission. The last time we saw you was when we went to capture the spiders. Don't worry! Kurapika defeated the leader. We're fine by the way. Oh! We met a man named Kite. He has the same hair as yours!

from Gon'

I chuckled "That's so him."

I then read the other message

'Are you okay? Last time I heard an enemy took you but this guy claiming to be your brother said they treated you. I didn't believe his words and (/I'/m/) We're worried.'

I stifled a laugh "Why'd he have to erase that?" And continued reading

'Its natural to be worried okay?'

Tch. What a tsundere.

'Just... Take care. Don't come here. It's dangerous. Chimera ants are all over the place.

-Killua'

I sighed "Damn. I miss these dorks."

I played with the papers just to find out that there's a phrase behind Killua's letter. It was so small.

'I miss you.'

Blush suddenly exploded in my face and I felt hot

I started fanning myself and trying to calm down "God.. W-What's wrong with me? It's j-just a phrase.."

The other two chuckled and I glared at them

After a while, I finally calmed down and looked down

I miss my friends.

I miss how Leorio sounds like an old man with his loud voice.

I miss how Kurapika would sound more mature than the rest of us and how he wants revenge.

I miss how Gon would smile and be amazed by something small

I miss how Killua is being all tsundere and shxt

I miss how all of us would be together, joking, laughing, and fighting.

Ski wiped a tear I didn't know rolled down my cheek "Ski..."

He held my hand with his and my tears decided to flow "I miss them..." my voice slightly cracking

I sensed Riku and Mom around but I didn't care and silently sobbed until I felt their presence go away

I wiped my eyes and an unexpected person came up to me

He smiled and placed a hand on my shoulder

"Escape."


I will.

~~Timeskip~~

I ran away.

Mika showed me the way and Ski went with me

It was days after I recieved the message. I can't wait any longer.

I'm sorry Amiko. Thank you for telling me to escape. Till next time.

I can't stay.

Because Killua will be in danger.

His life will be in danger.

I ran tree to tree, hill to hill and finally found the enormous hole on the ground

"I will be going now."

Mika flew away. I waved at her and stared at the hole again

"Wait for me Killua."

And I jumped inside.

It was a cave and groans of pain echoed through it

Am I too late?

I continued going down and dodging stones with my air and the worst scene portrayed right infront of my eyes

Killua stood there, his whole body changed to a color of a dart target. Holes all over his body.

Overall, bloody.

"Oh god. Killua!!"

He perked his head my way and widened his eyes "Minji.. Why did you-"

Another one shot him.

It was someone's ability. Assuming it as a Chimera Ant's.

Chimera Ants are creatures where humans/animals are mixed with any animal/s' attributes by the Chimera ant queen eating both the creatures and laying an egg for a Chimera Ant to hatch.

A Chimera ant that's attacking Killua has the ability to shoot darts at the target, affecting their victim. They're somewhere hidden.

It's as if the dart target is Killua's body and the dart (swordfish) only appears on Killua's body once the dart is pinned on the target.

They're stabbing Killua.

He has no way to stop it but to continue bleeding

I covered my mouth with my hands and panicked "No. No. No No No No Hang on."

"Minji-"

Stab.

I dived into the lake infront and looked for a path that leads to the culprits

There were monsters inside but I didn't care and dodged and fought it.

I went to the surface for air and dived again.

Air.

Dive.

Air.

Dive.

Air.

Scream.

Thud.

I heard Killua scream and he collapsed on all fours due to the injury

I immediately flew next to him "No. No. No. Killua! You won't die damn it!"

I cradled him in my arms when another one shot him on his thigh

He screamed in pain and shock and tears are now running to my face.

He shakily held my cheek with his bloody hand and smiled "I'm glad- you're okay..." He spit up blood

"No... Killua..." I placed a hand above his on my tear-stained cheek

There's blood everywhere.

God there's holes all over his body

I hate it.

I hate this.

Killua's losing too much blood.

Is he gonna die...?

He coughed and I can feel him getting weaker "I'm sorry... Tell Gon I'm-"

"DON'T TALK LIKE YOU'RE DYING BAKA!" My voice cracked and he widened his eyes at my sudden outburst

I sobbed and continued "You won't die."

I gently placed him on the ground "We both know you won't."

I stood up and looked for the cut off octopus tentacle I saw in the anime

I came back to him with it and took off those round suction sticky things.

I placed them on Killua's vital spots. His neck, his heart, his chest, and finally, his head. To prevent the dart from directly stabbing on him

"I know. This is a gamble-"

"AARGGHH!!" another shot.

I paled.

That's the shot before he'll....

I gulped and quickly turned to Killua "You'll be okay. It's alright. Trust me." I held his cheeks

He sat up and leaned his forehead against mine with mixed emotions swirling in his eyes

"I trust you."

We stared deeply at each others eyes as if communicating with our emotions

I let out a painful sob and parted from him and hid behind a large rock, far enough to see him amd used Zetsu to hide my presence

Killua stood up and another shot.

Another shot to the head.

He fell down from the impact with a loud thud.

I leaned my back on the stone and covered my mouth before sliding down, hiding my sobs

I know he'll survive.

He will.

But why does it fxcking hurt so much?

I heard footsteps coming up the surface from the lake

They had a little chat while it took me my all not to bring out my demon side.

Don't Minji. You might also murder Killua.

Your strength is enough for now.

I stood up and immediately beheaded the two Chimera Ants responsible for Killua's condition using katana

I glared at the bodies with pure hatred "Xssholes."

I quickly ran up to Killua and gently removed the dart that fortunately landed on the octopus suction thing. "Hey. They're gone. Wake up."

He opened his eyes and I smiled at him but he slowly closes his eyes again "No No No Killua. Wake up baka! Oh god you're losing too much blood."

"Someone! Please! Help!"

Ski was also crying and is looking around the place for something or someone to help

My tears didn't stop flowing and I hugged the unmoving body of Killua "Wake up! We... We still haven't done so many things together! I-I still haven't paid for the time we lost b-because of me."

He didn't move and my cries got louder and my voice is cracking

I hugged him tighter "I still haven't told you that I like you damn it!!"

I continued crying on his shoulder when someone walked up to us

I looked up to see a cute octopus with a face

Thats.... Ikalgo...

"Please help him... I... I can't lose him.." I begged, holding Killua tightly on my chest

He looked shocked and pitied our situation which was suddenly replaced by determination "Follow me."

I carried Killua on my back and Ski followed us

And we ran.

Ikalgo lead us to an underground hospital only certain people knows

I quickly laid Killua on the stretcher as the nurse and doctors took him and treated him

We waited for a long time until they told us that we could see him

There he is. In the bed.

Breathing.

Alive.

He's all bandaged up....

I grabbed a chair and sat next to him and held his hand

"Killua please..."

I kissed his hand shakily

"Wake up."
