Did I make you cry the last chappy?
Sorry if I disappoint you (if I didn't made you cry).
Well anyways, here goes!

His dark strands of hair clashing against each other as he felt the wind blow across his skin. It felt good, being back. That's what he thought as he walked down the path of grassy lands towards the place where he heard they were located.
He disappeared for a long time not only because of work, but also because of training. Probably, everything has changed ever since he left. Even his appearance has changed, his hair was cut and he now looks more handsome and dashing in the eyes of women or girls. It suit him best, even his clothes.
But that wasn't what he's worried about. He wondered many times how everyone might have changed while he was gone. It was like almost 2 years that his presence was absent. And he didn't chose to miss the fun, he just needed to.
As he arrived at the place, he looked from every direction, admiring how it changed a lot. Yorknew city. Some parts have improved while others remained the same. He rested in an old apartment, maybe the same room that they had stayed months ago.
Oh how he missed those times with her, he just wanted to see her right in the instance. But he can't, he didn't know the exact location of the others. So he needs to work hard to find them again, then maybe he can see her again.
He stood up from his bed, stretching and yawning. He opened his window curtains just to be blinded by the afternoon sun. And because of this, lazyness stroke him. He wanted to lay down the bed again, but he needed to search for the boys and so he did.
He took a nice, relaxing bath, dressed up, brushed his hair and teeth and then got his bag ready. He opens the door leading outside and stared blankly at the sun for a second and then continued.
============ ♥HE'S BACK!♥ =============
"Chairman! Where are we going?!" Menchi scolds, race walking to catch up to the superior, with her brother near her side. "Don't you want vacation? One night at least? Ren has already left to go back to his friends, we should celebrate too! Let's go to the finest bar in the Yorknew!" Netero grinned excitedly. Menchi just sighed, knowing she wouldn't defeat the chairman.
So they took the flight towards Yorknew and arrived there right after the day that Ren did. They were extremely tired. Satotz, Menchi, Buhara, Lim-something and Netero arrived at Yorknew city, searching for a nice place to visit and celebrate in.
======= ♣HUNTER EXAM CREW IS HERE!!♣ =======
His phone rang three times before he answered with an uninterested tone like always, accompanied by his poker face. "What is it Hisoka?" He said. "Wanna go for a drink later maybe? ♥♣" Hisoka answered with an amused tone. "Bored, are you?" He hissed back. "You can say that ♥♦" He sighed in regret but answered anyways. "Fine, I'm bored too. No one to kill tonight." And then he hang up.
====== ♠EVEN HISOKA & BROTHER ILLUMI IS COMING!♠ =======
"Oi Feitan! Stop cursing in the corner and lit up a bit!" Phinks scolded. "Shut up, I'm not cursing." "You always curse" He said again. "Come on guys, this topic is getting old. Why don't we play a game? Cards?" Shalnark suggests with a smile but soon lost it when Phinks spoke. "The topic is getting old as much as your card games, Shal. Let's go somewhere amusing. Maybe a club or a wrestling tournament!" Phinks said, now getting excited.
"I'd prefer club, wrestling nowadays are so boring and too dull. Too merciful" Machi seems to like the subject of entertaining themselves. "Hmm, club then. Where should we go? Yorknew city is famous for having so many clubs." "We shouldn't pick the expensive ones" Nobunaga suggests. "Duh, we can't afford that" Kalluto replies. Nobunaga just let out a sound and ignored her, I mean him. "Here, I found one!" Shalnark points at his phone.
"Let's just go when it's nightime, there's a discount and there are a lot of food in buffet they said" Shal explains further. "That sounds fun, so? Who'll join?" In the end, even though Feitan refused, the members are: Shalnark, Kalluto, Phinks, Franklin, Machi and Feitan.
(I didn't want them to be too many, that's being hysterical and out of character too much)
======= ♦A BLAST!♦ =======
"Sweet Gallery sounds good" Gon suggests. "How did that sounded good?" Killua sweatdropped. How about this then?" He pointed out. Gon, Kurapika and Leorio stared at each other for a moment before smiling. "That'll do" Leorio said.
The night came and the four friends proceeded to the chosen club: Cielo Exotica; The Home of The Tangerine Tigers. "Show me your Ren" The guard with a boulder body greeted them for their requirements. They looked at each other and then showed up their Ren, he was quite amazed.
"It says here that there are free cookies!" Gon happily cheered. "That's what caught your eye? And I thought hormones are kicking in, it seems you're still too young. They say that pretty hot singing tsundere babes are working here. What do you say Killua?" Leorio wiggled his eyebrows as he elbows the assassin.
"Don't bother me old man!..." He looked away, but when he looked back "Hehe!" He has this smug creepy perverted look on his face, pink took over his cheeks. And they both started laughing.
"What do you mean hormones are still not kicking in? I'm mature!-.... enough!" He adds quite obviously unsure. "Yeah whatever, Killua is obviously more matured than you are, Gon. Sorry, but I need to be honest with these kinds of things." Leorio explained seriously with eyes closed. "And may you explain why?" Kurapika raises an eyebrow with a smirk.
"Because hormones and THESE kinds of things are needed to be taken seriously, if you don't, you might turn out to be like Kurapika." Leorio said casually. "Why me?!" He protests. "No offense but, you suspiciously look like a girl. No men would turn away their eyes from you." He explained further. "No I do not! And men would never do that! It is indecent!" He said angrily.
And they started chatting about hormones that eventually fell on their original topic later on.
======= °ω° MOE MOE KYUUN~~ <3 =========
"Show me your nen" The guard orders and since they were both bored, they went in with the flow and followed the orders and requirements of the club. He was left there, terrified as they both went in.
"This club makes me dizzy with all its lights." Illumi complains. "Really? I thought it's really dashing" Hisoka smiles. They sat down in a table for two. "Even my brother is here, seriously. And I'm not in the mood to play with him." Illumi continued. "Well, we are in a night off our work" The magician stated. "Work? Like you have any" Illumi scoffed.
"Hey I work too." "Looking for Chrollo's cure?" Illumi asks as he raises his hand for a waitress to come. The same brunette that served his brother. She smiled at them and mumbled welcoming words and asking what they wanted to order.
======8) Say CHEEZY! XD =======
"Show me your nen" He ordered. "I didn't know this club only allows nen users?" Menchi said. "Well, it is stated in the collage that only special people with special abilities are allowed or qualified to come in." Netero explains as he brushes his beard repeatedly. "Is it worth it though?" Satotz questions. " Well we won't know if we'll keep on standing here, won't we?" Their nen spiked and they were welcomed by a group of waitress, bowing infront of them.
"See? Service is good, right? Now let's check the food." The group was seated near a wall, facing each other and the others sitting beside one another.
"Looks like we're not the only ones who took interest in this place" Menchi smirks, looking at Hisoka and Illumi. "Those two took the hunter exam last year right? They're really dangerous and can be very troublesome" Satotz stated. "Hmm, how interesting. This place just opened up just the day before yesterday(after being fixed again into anew) and it's already packed. Probably they expected more of this than we did." Netero wonders.
The other examiners just shrugged it off, sighing. "Well? Let's order. Waitress!" Menchi raised up her arm, catching a brunette's attention. She smiled at them and politely walked towards them, masked on and completely mysterious.
"What are your orders gentlemen? Beautiful lady?" This made Menchi smirk and muttered, "You flatter me, sis" She blushed slightly. The brunette just scoffed. "Hmm... I think I've seen you before. Have we met?" Netero asks, brushing his beard again.
"Really? I'm quite sure I haven't met anyone like you" She tilts her head.
======== $ TALK DIRTY TO ME! $ =========
"What caught my eyes is that they have great food as said in that brochure we bought. Killua?" Kurapika looks at Killua, making them all follow. Killua's eyes widened in a second and then turned to normal again, but he was blushing mad. "W-Well...."
"Tiger..." He muttered. "What?" Gon repeats. As soon as Kurapika got the idea, he spoke, "Because of Taiga?" It hit the spot, Killua twitched. "I don't understand" Gon tilts his head, confused. "Taiga means tiger and since Natsume was once called Taiga, Killua thinks that the club reminds him of her." Killua blushed further.
"Killua, you..." Leorio couldn't complete his sentence, looking at Killua with pity. "A-Anyways! Let's just order!" Killua brushed off the subject.
"Miss!" Leorio raised up his hand on a girl with long brown hair, facing her back in them. The girl turned to them and smiled.
======= ⊙ω⊙ NERD ⊙ω⊙ =======
"That guy should definitely get a haircut" Phinks said as he came in with the others. Unfortunately, two groups clashed. Gon and Kilua glares at them while they just stared back. "Yo" Phinks' voice echoed in silence and it triggered the formation and nen spiking between the two group.
But then a waitress, the same waitress who served the boys earlier, came and stopped the fight. She walked between the groups with her mask still on.
"I'm sorry for interrupting your little show but as you can see, this club doesn't accept violence. If you have a problem with each other, go out because you'll ruin the other guests' good vibes. If you don't get out, I will be forced to show you the door,both of you" She threatens but not angry, only showing a serious face but not that obvious.
They calmed down and just passed by each other, after doing her job, the mysterious brunette walked away, sighing.
Killua's POV
Shit, the Phantom Troupe is here. Well, at least they didn't saw Kurapika, or else it would be a riot and we'll be kicked out of this club.
"Should we tell Kurapika?" I twitched mad at Gon. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING!? TELL KURAPIKA?! DO YOU WANNA GET CREAMED!?" I shouted. "But wouldn't it be worth it than going in inside a club? Kurapika deserves to know the truth" Gon reasoned. "Have you forgotten? Kurapika doesn't like KILLING people and we don't want him to. So it's better to stay quiet and go get the utensils already, 'cause I'm starving!" I complained.
After getting the utensils, we head back to our seat, noticed that the Ryodan were just sitting in the other side of the room. "Did something happen when you were gone? I felt some nen spike from someone out there near the buffet" Kurapika worryingly asked.
"Nah, we're cool. There's just someone that pissed off the other, luckily there was this waitress who stopped them. And since we're in the topic, I didn't know fighting is not allowed in here." I said a little curious about the subject.
"Really? Well let's see, it says here in their collage.... whoever commences a battle with another inside the club, will be penalised or put to death by one of the staff hunters."
"What?! Isn't that getting too far? They can't kill people just because they're rivals or whatever!" Killua protests angrily.
"To protect peace and order among the club, no one must disobey and fun is the only thing that should be considered. No violence (except for staffs) and no battles. Only peace and FUN" Leorio continued.
"Yes, I assume you four are new here?" A young teenager, about Gon and Killua's age came waking towards them with their order and in a butler's uniform.
"Oh hey, thanks" Leorio said as a greeting as the boy puts down their order one by one from the tray.
"Why do you work here, I mean you're a hunter, right? You could have been someone special not just serving this cafe" Kurapika curiously asks. "Well, I really need money and I can't just work as a blacklist without finding a proper job that will make me stronger" He explained. "Yeah well uh..." Leorio speaks. "Oh, I'm Ruta, Ruta Sho" (No, he's not Japanese because this is the hunter world not Japan)
Perfect fluffy brown hazelnut hair almost covering his orange glowing eyes with his bangs. His skin fairly white and has clearly no eyelids at all (like Xiumin, is that what you call it? Eyelids, right?) He looked like from the real world, a Korean handsome young man.
Any girl would have had a crush on him, including Taiga, if she was here. Ruta was a gentleman, from the outside through the inside. But he was more of a silent type and a serious calm one than one of those innocent energetic anime boys you can find. And the four were very pleased with him serving them and talking to them about the club.
"Thanks Ruta, by the way, they say there are...any pretty girls who sing out here, is that true?" Leorio whispers as he slightly, PERVERTEDLY, smiled at the butler. "Uh... yeah, we're pretty rich with tsundere girls, so I guess. They can all sing, at least that's required for the job."
"They need to be tsunderes and able to sing so they can work here?" Kurapika questions. "Mhmm, not necessarily tsundere though. Our staff is not allowed to have relationship because it will mess up their jobs, mostly the staff here before that rule was made, created a huge fuss and mess in the place, so it was forbidden by the owner or should I say the government"
"The government owns this place, huh? I didn't know they knew nen." Gon stated. "Hunters and nen users ARE unique so, I'm not surprised you think that" Killua explains. "I'm interested, who's the most popular girl you have here?" Leorio said, his eyebrows going up and down.
"Hmm.. let's see. Oh Annika is, she's that blonde over there. She's perhaps the third from the most popular, most beautiful and most sexy girls in here." Ruta states. "Oh? Do you like her?" Kurapika adds in. "What? No, she's my cousin. We're close but, there's someone else that I want to be closer" He smiles slightly, innocently.
"Oh~ who's the lady?" Leorio teases. "She's a friend of mine, I met after I took the hunter's exam. I've had a crush on her ever since she saved my life from the Zoldyck that was about to kill me at midnight." Their eyes widened as he explains. "ZOLDYCK?!" They chorused and looked at Killua at the same time.
"Y-Yeah well, I don't really remember every single person I have attempted to kill. So.. yeah, pretty much that, sorry man, don't worry, I've changed." Killua explained.
"It's fine, besides, I don't have the right to get angry. I've killed some people for my job here and luckily I'm still alive and safe after you just attacked me back then. So that's why you're familiar..." He finished his sentence muttering to himself.
"You mean she's stronger than Killua? That's amazing! She just defeated an assassin" Killua began to twitch in irritation. "Oi! I didn't know nen back then! I was at a disadvantage! It's not fair!" It seems that Ruta was older than Gon and Killua after all.
"So you've been working here for years?" Gon asks and he was answered with a nod.
"Then you've been following her ever since you saw her?" Killua was slightly intrigued with the topic. "Y-You can say that but, she doesn't like me back." He looks down in disappointment. "Did you try courting her?" Leorio asks. "No, but it's obvious that she only considers me as a friend. Nothing more" He said.
"Well then why don't you take a shot at it? Once she sees how much a man you've become, she might start to like you" Leorio smiled at him, confident. "I can't... 'cause she's here with me. In this club" He slight smiled at them. "Ohh, that's tough luck you got there" Killua taunted, his one eyebrow raised up and his chin resting on his palm. He devilishly smirked, it was a hot assassin's smirk.
"You think so?" Ruta just smiled at him. "What's her name?" "Tigress, weird right? Like King fu panda. hahahha" He laughed and the four just looked at each other. "Uh... can you excuse us for a second, Ruta?" And then they huddled up.
"Tigress might be another code name for Taiga, you know how her brain works." Killua whispers.
"You're right but, they don't even let visitors stay long for their prisoners there. Taiga just can't be freed unless a million pounds of money is paid" Kurapika protests. "Listen, you know her habit of doing awesome entrances whenever she's coming back or showing up, so there's a possibility that she's Tigress in disguise." But Killua insisted.
"Well, we'll see. Taiga IS great at being a show off" Kurapika says. (SERIOUSLY?! You can never trust these guys whenever you got your back turned! I feel bad for Natsume)
They ceased their huddle up and smiled at the butler who was just there, dumbfounded and confused. "Can we see her?" Ruta thought it was weird, their smiles were creepy.
"Well uh... you can't right now 'cause it's her turn to perform on stage" "Oh yeah, she sings. You take turns whoever sings on stage?" Killua asks. "Yeah, and guards the club. Remember that guard outside? He asked for your nen, right? We take shifts and guard sometimes and each staff has different requirements, according to what they want."
"I see, I bet others give the customers a hard time huh?" Killua replied. "Yeah, specially Tigress. She's a strict type. We don't know what she requires them to do. But only a few costumers come whenever she's on duty." "Sugee! She's like Aunt Mito!" Gon's eyes sparkled.
Killua just sweatdropped at this sight. "I can't wait to meet her!" Gon cheered smiling at Ruta while the boy smiled back. "Me too! I promise that she's a great person!" He continued.
====== $ω$ BILLIONAIRE $ω$ =========
"C'mon, enjoy the food and stop thinking about girls!" Phinks encouraged. Feitan just looked at him with a poker face. "You're not funny so shut up" He said coldly. "Fei, you're once that cold natured bastard who takes pleasure from the pain of yourself and others but where is that Feitan now?" Phinks slightly smiled.
"With the shattered heart that I threw away just months ago." He borijglu replied. "You're no fun! If only you had loved her fairly, she wouldn't have walked away from you and you wouldn't be suffering right now" Feitan just looked at the blonde, speechless but pissed.
"You're partly right. I should have just ignored her from the very beginning, but I didn't. My curiosity lead me to this, stupid charismatic people" He muttered.
Phinks wrapped his right arm around his buddy's shoulder and said, "C'mon! That's why we're here! To have fun! Not to waste your time thinking about girls and their atittudes!" He smiled at him, but Feitan just sighed and nodded.
"Coincidences huh? Who would have thought that the chain user would be here" Shalnark wondered.
"Yeah, tough luck. Well? We didn't came here for a fight and it's not allowed." Phinks stated.
"Lame" Shalnark muttered.
======== 'ω' WOOPIE ;^; ========
Killua's POV
I thought I would enjoy, and this club was interesting but I guess it's the same thing and cheaper because we're hunters. I sighed but lighted up when I heard the music playing.
I sighed as we continued eating. Thinking about everything that happened before, I realized a lot of things have changed. Everything changed including me and Gon, especially Taiga. But I'm glad some other things haven't changed so far. I looked at everyone around the table with a smile.
Kurapika has, surprisingly, grown quite violent and has killed at least one spider. He's stronger, even stronger than us when we met him. I remember when we all first met, I thought I was the stronger among us four, but now the tables have turned. Eventually I will get stronger anyways.
Leorio knows nen now, the last time we talked about this, he didn't even know ren and if existed.
Gon, well he's still the same. But he becomes more serious when he needs to. And stronger, much stronger.
I'm still catching up with Gon. It seems impossible when you look at our situation, but one day, I will. Together with-- what am I thinking..? That will never happen. The government is strict with A-class bounties or criminals. You can't even visit them for 15 minutes. Promising her that I'll get her out, that's a sick joke I would pressume. Maybe I can, but the government will be our next enemy. Gon and the others will be questioned too. I don't want that, I don't want that for her too.
Taiga... she changed everything. But no matter what she does, I can still feel that the old her was still inside her. Her hair was raven black, she wears pink glasses and her personality turned cold unlike her normal sunshine energetic self. But...
Nevertheless.... I still loved her.
======= ♥☻HERE GOES! ♦♠=======
"And I'm following my map that leads to you" A row of girls came out of stage. I watched as they perform and dance.
"My map that leads to you"
"There's nothing I can do"
"My map that leads to you, I'm following following following" The music ended and everyone gave a round of applause.
"They're awesome! Right, Killua?" Gon smiled at me, and I nodded in return.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Let me hear a round of applause for our best singer and waitress, Tigress Swan!" Then the music started, the name caught my attention and led my eyes on the stage.
Baby, even though I hate ya
I wanna love ya
I want you
And even though I can't forgive ya
I really want to
I want you
She was wearing this sexy outfit of a comedian that made boys scream out.
Tell me, tell me baby
Why did you leave me
Cause even though I shouldn't want it
I gotta have it
I want you
Then she started walking downstage.
Head in the clouds
Got no weight on my shoulders
I should be wiser
And realize that I've got
The dancer one by one leaned in to her, dancing a seducing step of moving their faces near her with everyline of:
One less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less, one less problem
One less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less, one less problem
"Wooh! Yeah!" Leorio shouted, it seems he's drunk. We sweatdropped at this disturbing sight.
I know you're never gonna wake up
I gotta give up
But it's you
Know I shouldn't never call back
Or let you come back
But it's you
A bunch of girls came backing up, including the ones doing their work joined in.
Every time you touch me
And say you love me
She started walking towards me and placing her index finger under my chin, secudingly.
I get a little bit breathless
I shouldn't want it
But it's you
I just stared at her blankly as she walked away, dancing in every step.
Head in the clouds
Got no weight on my shoulders
I should be wiser
And realize that I've got!
She went on stage and danced it up. The chorus had the same moves.
One less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less, one less problem
One less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less, one less problem
When will she remove that mask? I want to see!
"Yo" Someone with a voice of someone familiar walked over to us. We turned to his direction and saw "Hisoka!" We shouted in unison. "Long time no see" He smiled wide enough to creep us out. Just then I realized something "Wait! Is Illumi here too?" I was nervously sweating. "Yes, but he's not in the mood so he stayed" That somehow made me relieved.
Smart money bettin' I'll be better off without you
In no time I'll be forgettin' all about you
You sayin' that you know
But I really really doubt you
Understand my life is easy
When I ain't around you
"That's quite a show she's putting herself into. She HAS changed" Hisoka smiled as he oserves the moves that 'tigress' shows. "Yeah" We agreed. "It's amazing though" Leorio added.
Iggy Iggy
Too biggie to be here stressing'
I'm thinkin' I love the thought of you
More than I love your presence
And the best thing now
Is probably for you to exit
I let you go
Let you back
I finally learned my lesson
No half-stepping
Either you want it or you just playin'
I'm listening to you knowing
I can't believe what you're sayin'
There's a million you's baby boy
So don't be dumb
I got 99 problems
But you won't be one
What
The rapper's line was done and now on stage were smoke in different colors. Hiding the dancers slightly behind the fog.
One less, one less problem
One less, one less problem
I narrowed my eyes, expecting them to make the vision lucid enough to see her. The music got slower and gentle more like it stopped for a bit.
Head in the clouds
Got no weight on my shoulders
I should be wiser
And realize that I've got
That's when she removed his mask and all our jaws dropped in total shock and surprise, "Impossible" Kurapika gasped but Hisoka kept on smiling like he knew all along. Her eyes, her hair and her skin. They were almost a like, except that her hair now was darker and has the shades of black and blonde a little bit. My heart screamed for longing. But I tried to control my feelings, my hands uncontrollably made its way to my chest.
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less, one less problem
One less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less problem without ya
I got one less, one less problem
With that, her performance ended with her right arm raised up and her lips forming a smile. This made Leorio stood up and so are other people which I assume is the Genei Ryodan. "Yo" Someone greeted, again, but it wasn't Hisoka. "Ren-san?!" Gon said. "It's been a while, Gon, Killua" I nodded and so did Gon. "Oh aren't you that man who trained Taiga?" Kurapika asked. He nodded slightly. "So... where's Taiga?" He asked and we just frowned and looked down on our feet. "What happened?" He asked getting worried. "She's.... taken to jail" Gon answered and it was quite obvious that it was hard for him to say it. I saw Ren's eyes widened and then switched to me from Gon. "What?" I said. "Tch" was his only reply. "What, you think I'm at fault now!?" I shouted "Well who would be the reason why she ran away at the night club?!" We started arguing.
"It was your fault for being so clingy and protective around her!" I shouted.
"I just don't want her going near you" He reasoned.
"You don't have the right to claim her yours."
"The same goes to you!"
"What makes you think you're so special to her? Because she kissed you? Well I've got news for you, 'Ren'. She's not what she's used to be"
"I know, because you turned her into another stranger" He glared.
"It isn't My fault she liked me!"
"Then you should have said no!"
"I've already did, but she just really liked me, better than you!"
"You don't know what we've been through together. So you don't know how she feels about me. You're just bitter because she likes me more than you"
"I told you that she doesn't!"
"Then tell me something that would prove your accusations?" That's where I stopped. I remembered everything that I heard from Taiga's confessions. She confessed to him, right after I got mad at her.
"See? You can't even make up some petty excuse" Then he walked away. The atmosphere was instense. Everyone's eyes was on us, including the Ryodan. The silence was broken by the sound of a phone.
"Kurapika" Kurapika answered his phone right away. "Yeah, give me a sec. I'm coming" Then he hanged up. "You're leaving, Kurapika?" Gon asked. The atmosphere somehow turned lighter. "Yes, I have been called by my boss. Sorry Gon, I wish I could stay but, I really need to take this one" He faintly smiled and totally left.
Gon sighed in depression. "I really wish Kurapika would stay. We rarely hang out and see each other." My eyes were fixed on the ground but I could here Gon's complains. "Taiga was right" I muttered. They turned to look at me with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean she was right?"
I looked up at them and spoke, "Remember when she said everything would change? This is probably it... but I don't know... something inside of me makes me feel like I've been swallowed by darkness." Gon looked at me with pity, I just avoided gaze so I won't feel weak. "Killua" He whispered, concerned. "We'll get Taiga out... eventually" He tried to cheer me up but... it wasn't enough.
Nothing's ever enough to satisfy this longing to see Taiga. Unless I saw her for real.... "Are you good, Sir?" A girl suddenly approaches us and to my surprise, it was the brunette. "Taiga!/san!" Me and Gon said in unison. "Uh... I think you've mistaken me for somebody else. My name is Tigress, sir" She smiled, faintly.
Gon and I looked at each other. "Memory loss?" Gon shrugged and so did I. "Do I know you?" She suddenly asked. "Can't you remember us, Taiga-san?" Gon asked. "N-No, I just told you, my name is Tigress." She denied. "Did you lose your memory again, Taiga?" Leorio butts in. "W-Well, I... I don't remember my past so yeah, I did had an amnesia. How'd you know?" She asked. "Yes! I was right!" Gon cheered. It was impossible... for Taiga to got out of that prison. "Taiga-chan! You got out!" Gon jumped at her with joy. I just frowned, I felt guilty and at the same time a little bit of joy.
"S-Sorry, but I ..." "I'm Gon!" He yells. "Uh..." It seems she's too shocked. "Gon that's--" I tried to explain but he cut me off. "That's Killua! And this is Leorio!" He continued smiling. He doesn't take time listening to me. But she smiled, brightly and stunning. It was like Taiga's, at least what I see whenever she smiles.
"Natsume?" A man with blonde familiar hair is closing in, it was Phinks and the Ryodan. We formed a fighting stance and our nen spiked. Tigress narrowed her eyes. "Genei Ryodan" She muttered. So she doesn't remember them too.

Narrator
'Something's wrong' Feitan thought when he examined Tigress from head to toe. "W-Why is he looking at me like that?" She asked Gon, whispering. "Feitan... is a close friend of yours before you were placed to jail." Gon explained. And Tigress made this shocked face, "I've been JAILED?!" This made Feitan sigh, 'That's not her' He thought.
"What's wrong Fei? Aren't you gonna hug her?" Phinks teased. "No" He denied. "Why not?" Machi adds in. "Because that's not her" He simply said with a blank face. "What do you mean?" Killua asked, Gon and Leorio being protective of Tigress. "That's not Natsume, that's not the girl I've been looking for. She's... still in that cage." Feitan explained.
"But she looks like her" Phinks said. "Yes, but I don't feel the same for her. It's different. This girl is a complete stranger" Then he left, leaving the other members behind. "Wait! Feitan! The hell are you talking about?!" Phinks followed and so did the other, with exeption to Kalluto.
"Kalluto?!" Killua gasped. "Onii-chan" He stared at him blankly, while his eyes were wide open. "Oi Kalluto! Let's go!" Kalluto flinched and walked away, he glanced one more time before completely leaving.
"Is that your little sister, Killua?" Leorio asked. "She's cute" He added. "No, that was my little brother" "Don't be sarcastic" "It is!" He yelled.
"Excuse me" A sheepish voice called out for us. "Do I really know you?" She questioned, Gon, Leorio and Killua looked at each other.
======= ♀ BROUGHT TO YOU BY: BISKE! $ =======
After that...
"Bye!" Tigress said her farewell to her friends at work as she head out. "Taiga-chan!" Gon jumped out of the bushes. "Oh god! What the hell man?!" She scolded and Gon just scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "You again?" She groaned. "And me" Killua goes out of the bushes and slipped his hands in his pockets.
"Me and Killua decided that we'll help you regain back your memories!" Gon smiled. "Wait wait wait! You can't butt in to people's personal bussiness little man!" She roared. "Yes but you're our friend! It's OUR bussiness now" Gon smiled so she could just helplessly sigh in defeat. "Fine, but, how will you do that?" "Come with us!" "Woah woah woah, slow down cowboy. What makes you think I'll come with you that easily?" She cautiously backed off a few steps. But Gon just stared at her with an innocent look. "Because you want to have your memories back, yes?" This reply completely caught her off guard.
And then after a while, she smiled. "Alright, I'll just tell my boss I'll make a leave." She smiled faintly. "Yes! That's great!" "Wait, don't you have a guy in a suit with you?" She asked. "Oh yes, Leorio. BUt he said he needed to go. He has someone to meet up with*"
*Comment who you think that person is and if you guess it right, I'll dedicate this to you :D If none of you guessed it right, then I'll stick to my original list of people who's reading and mostly comments in the story :D
"I see... Well, I'm just gonna head in, bye" She waved and went in the store again. "Killua" Gon looked at his friend who just stared at him with an expresionless face. "We'll finally spend some time with Taiga-chan again!" He cheered. A smile crept on to Killua's face.
======= ► HIT PLAY! BROUGHT TO YOU BY: HISOKA-NII!! δ =======
"Hohoho, it's been a while" The two boys turned just to see Netero brushing his beard repeatedly with his hands. "Netero-san!/Old man!" They both shouted in surprise. "Menchi-san! Satotz-san! Li-- oh who are you again?" Gon was cut off when he saw the trick tower proctor (Sorry, I forgot his name)
"How've you been, Gon? Killua?" "Great! I know nen now! And so does Killua!" Gon answered. "That's good, that's good. Would you like to perhaps, stay in my hotel tonight and play some ball?" Netero smiled, Gon and Killua looked at each other before smiling. "We won't back out this time old man" Killua smirked.
They all went to Netero's condo. The proctors sat down while the two removed their shoes, preparing for the game. "It seems you're missing someone" Netero chortles happily. "Taiga-chan?" This made Killua flinched and angered. "Stop pissing me off old man, you know very well what happened to her" He glared, his eyes turned into something different, somethig scary.
But Netero kept smiling as if he said nothing. "Yes, shall we continue then?" Killua went back to normal and then they started. In just 15 minutes, they got the ball. "You two are quite the challenge aren't you?" Netero smiled. Gon and Killua high fived and then got their clothes.
They sat down, quite exhausted. "Gon, I've got something for you, from your father" Netero smiled. "But it's kind of a secret, Killua?" Killua nodded as soon as he understood. Menchi came with him.
======= ║I LOVE YOU!! ║ ========
"Hey" She started. "Yo"
"What's going on with your girlfriend?" She curiously asked.
"G-Girlfriend? Y-You mean Taiga? She's... *sigh*"
"You don't need to feel so guilty you know. I'm sure she's not the type of person who can hate you forever just because you've done something bad to her. Although that normally happens" Menchi comforted him.
"You're probably right but, I was the reason why her life got miserable. I shoved her away. And then she got bitten by a rerean, joined the Genei Ryodan and got prisoned in jail" Killua sighed, frowning.
"She loved you, right?"
"I guess..."
"You loved her, yes?"
"I.... I'm not really sure about these feelings."
"What do you feel everytime you see her?"
"Like... everything's complete and that I don't need anything anymore. Only Gon and her by my side is enough"
"When you talk to her?"
"I feel at my best, like I can go on like this. Well, I can talk to her normally so that's fine, right? Everytime I talk to her, it's like we're all alone"
"When you look at her?"
"Hmm... sometimes I picture and imagine the future of me and Gon with her. And sometimes, I just feel like I don't want her out of my sight"
"Oh, what about when you see her smile?"
"That's the best thing about her. Everytime she smiles, it makes me feel like everything would go fine."
"Last one, what do you feel... when you see her with somebody else other than you?"
Killua stopped, he couldn't answer what she asked or maybe still analyzing it. And then after a few minutes, he finally spoke.
"Hmph, maybe I do love her."
"Do yo long for her?"
"Yeah, every single day"
"Do you wish she's just beside you and only you and that she should just pick you and be yours for all eternity?"
"How'd you know how I exactly feel?" Killua raised an eyebrow.
"That's not love honey" Menchi's reply shocked him.
"That's addiction" She smiled.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Addiction?" He echoed.
"I'm addicted to Taiga?"
"Yes, you want her all to yourself and feel her presence beside you. You never want her to leave your sight. You wish for her to feel the same way you feel for her. That's not just love, that's the higher stage for love, addiction"
"And I thought I wouldn't feel what she felt towards me"
"I guess you spent to much time thinking about her that your brain only understood and processed that she's the only thing that can make you feel satisfied and happy. So I advise you this... if you ever want to move on, that would be hard"
"Huh? Why?"
"Because once you're addicted..."
.
.
.
.
.
.
"It's hard to turn back to your original self" Menchi explains.
"What am I suppose to do?" Killua probably was desperate to remove these lingering feelings for Taiga that he even seeked advise on Menchi.
"Well firstly, ask yourself: Do you really want to remove her from your heart?" This made Killua think for a second.
"Are you ready to forget all about how you feel like she's your everything and that you'll only live for her? Can you sacrifies one of your reason to live?"
"I...."
.
.
.
.
"Can't"
"I thought so, that was what Ren told me too"
"Ren? You mean that shithead?"
"Hey! That's my relative, you moron!"
"Sorry" Killua sweatdropped.
"He said he never wanted to forget about Taiga. That she was everything that he wanted. That it was fine getting hurt by her rather than by himself. Ren is actually a nice guy, if you get to know him more. And I know that Taiga knows that too, because she's spent most of her time with him. Sometimes he even thought of confessing to her, I know, he told me when he got here last year, but he was really down that day. He didn't tell me why"
"It was probably my fault" Killua bowed his head in guilt.
"Yeah, that was my pressumption. I thought at first that Taiga and Ren were meant to be, because they were the type of pair that was hot n cold. But it seems I was wrong, you were more different, you were the complete opposite of Taiga and Ren knew that. But despite that, he still hopes to gain her love. Because this is the first time Ren has experienced addiction."
"So are you telling me to give up for your "relative"?" Killua looked up at her.
"No... it's not the right thing to do" Menchi shook her head with a smile. Killua thought she was like Mitto but Mitto was more gentle.
"If you really want her back, then you know what you should do" Menchi's soft gentle eyes stared at Killua's determined ones.
"Killua! Let's go!" Gon greeted with Netero by his side, nodding at Menchi.
"Oh, time to go. Thanks for the advise, old hag" Then he ran away with Gon.
They walked towards home while Gon was telling Killua about what Netero told him. Until he finally noticed that his friend wasn't listening. "Killua?" He spoke. "Yeah?" He answered. "Why are you smiling?" He asked once more. "Nothing.... nothing at all" He continued.
"Eeeh?! That's unfair! Tell me!!" Gon insisted. "I told you! It's nothing!" Killua's lips won't stop forming a smile. Gon protested but all Killua can think of is the day that he can finally face Natsume and tell her how he feels.
'Just wait for me, Natsume.... I'm coming'
