Welcomed Reunion? [Edited]

"W-why are you here Naiki?!"

Naiki took something out of his back pocket, which made Rex very cautious. "What, you really thought I'd be in Yorknew right now?"

Rex nodded. "Yeah, and how did you find me?"

But Naiki just smiled. "I didn't find you, because for that, I must have lost you first."

Rex gave him a perplexed look, but Naiki didn't elaborate on what he meant by his words.

The object he took out of his pocket was a funny looking fruit with swirl patterns on the fruit skin.

Naiki threw it at Rex.

"What is this?"

"Do you really think I'm not sorry for beating you up so badly? Well, this is to pay off my debt."

Rex gave him a somewhat skeptical glance. "And that's why you're giving me a fruit?"

"It's a Rosia!", He shouted, but realizing they had the attention of everyone in the library, he asked Rex to discuss somewhere else.

Rex followed Naiki... Since he had no other option and was constantly in danger of getting a blade immersed in his brain.

But before that, Rex urged Naiki to walk in front of him.

All the while, Rex had been using Ken to be ready to fight at any time.

As the two moved along the street, Naiki started to talk. "Are you aware that the Rosia fruit possesses a magical quality?"

"What kind?"

"When you eat this fruit, it turns a part of your aura into building blocks... Which your body can use quite well."

Rex listened carefully.

Naiki turned around. "... Usually you defecate most building blocks after the body uses like 1% of them, because the body does not need so many... But for those with muscle deterioration like you... The body has much more possibilities to use them.

It helps them get their muscles back to their best form and condition."

Rex crossed his arms. "And why should I take this seriously? Do you honestly think I'll believe something like that?"

"He's right!". A voice came shouting from far behind.

Although the voice was considerably deeper now, Rex recognized it immediately.

He jumped a great distance away from Naiki and widened his EN.

"Th-this can't be..."

The person came running, and finally stood in front of Rex, getting ready for a fist bump, he smiled. "Yo! did you miss me?"

"Is it you...

Neo?"

"Ehm, yeah? Who the fuck else? Come on bro don't leave me hanging...?"

The pedestrians seemed to be annoyed by Neo's shouting, which is why they made a big bow around the three to avoid them.... Which made Rex believe that this Neo real, not a Nen clone... Otherwise the pedestrians would never have noticed him.

"Uhh... Rex? You good? Feeling sick?"

Rex gave him a fist bump.

"..."

"..."

It got quiet, Neo wanted to kill the weird atmosphere, so he started talking. "I know you have a lot of questions, don't be shy, don't hold back."

Rex began to think. "Do they know of my existence because of you?"

"Um... You don't like that?"

Rex swiftly grabbed Neo's head aggressively and whispered in his ear. "Do you know what that crazy guy did to me? Do you know that?"

"Yeah yeah, but stop twisting my ear, it hurts!"

Rex let go of Neo. "And how do you make it sound good?"

"I know... I know that what we did was bad-"

"It wasn't just bad, it was fucking retarded! Fucking stupid!", Rex cut him off. "If they had you on their team, why didn't they send you!"

*sigh*

"Listen to me Rex, we need you! Even when Boss sent Naiki, it was for your best! He knows the best how things work! Please trust me!"

"Trust...?", Rex pondered.

"..."

"..."

"Then explain to me what the big deal with you guys is if you want trust, why this group even exist, what your purpose is. And why do you even need me? When you have strong people like Naiki, me being part of the group is insignificant! Isn't it?"

Suddenly Naiki appeared behind Rex. "Oh, I can tell you all that!"

Rex jumped away and kept his focus on Naiki. "... Okay! Say it! But not near me!"

"Yeah yeah calm down~♩."

Naiki tried to speak, but Neo gave him a brutal kick to the face instead. "I warned you that you shouldn't have been so hard on Rex! Now he's completely scared of you!"

Naiki palpated his nose. "You're lucky you didn't hurt me, or I'd have to report it to Boss...

However, we're not here to fight each other", Naiki pointed to the fruit Rex was still holding. "This fruit is a miracle substance, that grows in a huge and hazardous continent you don't even know of. Be honored to devour it as it is now in your hands!"

Rex slowly nodded.

"We want you to eat this fruit so you can get back on your feet as soon as possible... You haven't even moved naturally since you got out of the hospital! All those miles you ran and walked, you could only do it with the help of your Nen."

Neo glared angrily towards Naiki. 'That's not a way to convince anyone you idiot! Especially after you inflicted a trauma on them!'

Neo grabbed Naiki's hair and quickly made a crater in the ground with Naiki's skull. "Rex we are so sorry! Please forgive this retard! We'll do anything to make you forgive him!"

Naiki wanted to raise his head, but it was too late to deny Neo's statement... Rex had started grinning.

"Anything?", Rex rubbed his hand against his chin, "Hmm..."

When Neo recognized his grin, he began to panic. "Ayoooo not everything!"

"I wasn't going to!", Rex immediately realized what Neo was thinking. "Okay... Two things... The goal of this this organization and what's your boss's Hatsu? If you tell me those, MAYBE I'll forgive you."

Naiki looked annoyed at Neo.

"Well... The first thing was-", but before he could answer Rex's questions, he saw a figure getting nearer, which is why he decided to ended his sentence abruptly.

Rex, who is still blind, wondered why Neo stopped speaking, but once he felt a person with a very powerful Nen entering his EN, he had an idea idea why.

His cloak was carried high by the wind, his face was determined, and his eyes appeared to be filled with wisdom. "I believe you should have saved such personal questions for your meeting with me, but whatever, I am here after all."

It was the Boss.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rex's first contact with the boss!

Why do they need him?

What is his Hatsu?

Where did this fruit come from?

And was the reunion with Neo a surprise?

Well, what can I say other than {Trust the Process}

(And yeah "Hunter X Hunter: Voided Ambition" the title will make sense...)

(Yay, the manga comes out in the 23 of October!)
