HxH: Living by The Fist

It was a rainy day in the city of Yorknew, in front of a convenience store there were three kids on the ground and one was barely standing on his feet.

The kids had bruises on their faces and arms, it was clear that they had a fight.

The one who was barely standing had dyed blonde hair, cute face and sharp eyes, with an air of maturity that shouldn't be possible for a small kid like him. His name is Hudson Ahn.

He looked like he was around ten years old, his clothes were dirty and ripped apart in some places.

And that wasn't the result of his fight, it's because that's how they were before the fight.

You could have guessed it, he's an orphan that lives on the street even at this age.

Normally he would have been living inside an orphanage but some men in suits came to the orphanage one day and shut it down, the men in suits started to take all of the children that were left with no place to go promising them a home.

Hudson had a bad feeling about that place so he ran away when he had the chance.

For the last year he had to live on the streets, his only source of food being what he could get from other kids.

He tried to get into other orphanages but without the right papers no one would accept him.

That's the first time he has ever witnessed how colds humans can really be.

Right now he was just beat three kids older than him for their money.

One kid from the ground cried and said "WAAH ! WAAH ! I'LL TELL DADDY THAT YOU BULLIED ME!"

Even though they were older, they were pathetic from his point of view. But while they were pathetic they were leading a better life than him, and that's what made him angry.

Hudson raised his bruised and bloodied fist up and said with a cold expression. "Then I just have to make sure you'll never get to tell him."

*SWOOSH* *BAM*

As he was about to bring his fist down on the kid's face he felt a powerful impact in his chest.

!!!

Hudson was sent flying one meter away and he landed on the ground on his stomach holding his chest.

"*COUGH* *COUGH* *COUGH*"

He couldn't breathe, the pain was suffocating and the impact was just as suffocating.

He looked upwards while wheezing and looked at the man who kicked him, he was a middle aged man with a beard, he was attending to his kid who was on the ground all beaten up.

A woman came and started crying when she saw the state her kid was in.

The man got up from the ground and near Hudson with an enraged expression.

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM*

He raised his leg and started stomping on him while saying. "YOU TRASH! HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY SON!"

Hudson curled up into a ball with his hands behind his head and protected himself from more damage.

Hudson's expression was that of pain mixed with anger, he couldn't even count the times an adult came and beat him up for doing the stuff he did.

While he was getting beaten up someone came from behind the man and stopped him from going any further.

"STOP IT YOU DUMBASS! YOU'LL KILL HIM AT THIS RATE"

The man somewhat calmed down and said. "You're right, it's not worth going to jail for this trash."

The man spat on Hudson and started walking away. "If I ever see you again near my kid I'll make sure to break your bones."

Hudson's expression was even more enraged at this point, if he could he would have jumped up and killed this man instantly but that's the problem, he couldn't.

He still wasn't strong enough to fight an adult and win.

'You fucking piece of shit! If I ever see that kid again I'll kill him!!'

After all the people left the scene, Hudson struggled to get up on his feet and he took something out of his pocket.

It was 1000 Jenny. 'I can finally buy new clothes and more food with this amount, I could have gotten more if that motherfucker didn't intervene.'

He started waddling away with a determined look on his face, he was determined to live, he didn't want to end up like the homeless people he sees on the streets.

He witnessed how the people who were stronger could step on the weak people, he wanted to get stronger and get out of this hell.

>>>>

After 1 hour of walking he finally arrived in the place where he sleeps, it's an abandoned building in which no one lives, he has a mattress on the ground and some books on the ground.

Those books are the ones he stole from stores, they were workout related and how to get stronger.

He looked at the foot on the ground and thought. 'This is for the better.'

He gave up on buying clothes since they were expensive, he just bought more food since if you want to build up your muscle you need nutrition.

After eating to his full he got up on his feet and went near a wall.

He looked at his right fist, it was full of bruises and his bones were a little messed up from the many times they broke.

*BAM* ..... *BAM*..... *BAM*

He started punching the reinforced concrete wall with one hand after the other, after punching for about 20 times they started bleeding but he still kept going.

This was an exercise that actually hardened his bones after repeatedly punching hard things until your bones break.

He endured the pain and spoke what was on his mind.

"I have to get stronger!

I have to become the best!

I can't let others mess with me!

I'll show them that I'm not someone they can mess with!

I'll kill everyone that messes with me!

I'M STRONG!

I'M HUDSON AHN!"

*BAM* *CRACK*

The wall cracked a bit after he expressed his overwhelming emotions.

Hudson's eyes widened and took his right fist back, he looked at the wall ant touched it.

"I...

Cracked it?"

After looking at the wall for a bit he smiled and said while looking at his messed up fist. "I think I got it, the key to strength!"
