But how could he not want to search for her?
He just confessed to this girl, and the next thing he knows...
She's running away?
Was it something that he said?
Did he do something wrong?
Killua was frustrated as he yanked Gon awake.
"She's gone."
Gon's eyes were somber.
"I know."
"She's - wait, what?!"
Gon looked up at his friend with a pained expression.
"You, you knew?!"
Killua was unable to contain his shock.
Gon, would betray him?
Gon, his best friend?
Killua slumped down on the floor.
Unaccepting,
Denying,
Refusing the truth.
"She made me promise not to tell you."
Gon was sad to see Killua look so helpless.
"Gloves will be fine..."
-
Killua looked up, his previous anger dissipating.
"Will she? What if Hisoka goes after her again?
What if she trips and falls and hurts herself?
What if she doesn't have enough money for food?
What if... What if..."
Killua faltered.
He hiccuped as his voice grew hoarse with tears.
"I hurt her... I tried so hard to get her to be friends with me, and I turned around and was so mean... Gon! Gon... What do I do...
What do I do?!"
