16 Chapter 16

Last time on 'My Journey of Hunter x Hunter':

"Hey you." Leorio looks at me.

"Yes?" I blink, not knowing what to say.

"You don't talk much, do you?"

I look at everyone else and see them staring at me curiously.

I gulp. I only live once right? (Or in this case twice). Guess it's time for me to become a protagonist.

"No...but you do." I stand up tall.

"What did you say?" Leorio stands up.

"I said you talk to much. Also, you're rather loud, you know. Might want to keep it down. I don't want to go deaf from you."

"That's it. You and me fight. Now!"

[NOTE! This is not in the anime or the manga but it's worth a read. NOTE!]

Huh. I didn't think things would escalate this fast but here I am, before Leorio, ready to fight my butt off in a legendary fight.

Leorio raises his arms and curls his hands into fists. I follow his stance as we circle the room, ready to rip each other to bits.

Leorio goes first with his fist slicing forward towards my face but I dodge sideways and prepare to counter attack his move by hitting him right in the face, what he was trying to do. His balance falls asleep and he falls back on the ground.

"Are you done?" I say.

"Hah. You wish!" Leorio says as he stands back up.

He moves forward again and goes for the same move as before. I prepare to dodge again but I see his left leg raising up in a very slow motion like way. I decide to evade his attack by moving to my right and moving anti clockwise to give him a piece of my unknown power (basically, I kicked him in the back with my right leg).

Surprisingly, he flew right across the room to the wall. I'm even surprised myself. Then, I get a triggering pain in the top of my head which made me take down the black hood I've been having on since the beginning (or when I first came into this world).

Gasps go round.

"What?" I say, glancing at everyone's faces.

"Your hair is glowing..." Kurapika says.

I reach for my hair and find frizzy brown hair which is pulsating a deep and vivid colour of deep magenta. This isn't what I was expecting.

It stops after a further 5 beats and settles down.

"Well, you don't see that everyday." Killua mutters suddenly.

Leorio has already stood up from his fall. I look at him and extend my hand outwards.

"Leorio, right? I'm sorry for insulting you. Do you forgive me?" I say.

He stares at my hand...and keeps on staring until he comes forward and takes my hand forcefully.

"Hah. If you don't insult me again, THEN I'll see if I'll forgive you."

I smile.

"Thank you. Anyway, isn't it time for bed? I'm tired." I stretch my arms.

"I'm tired too." Gon adds.

We all get ready for bed as the timer on the clock ticks away the hours and minutes it has left to count.
