Chapter 11

A/n Unsteady, X Ambassadors

Killua P.O.V

His body goes limb, I watch the colour drain from his eyes. "Hisoka!" I scream out in agony. This can not be happening! He doesn't deserve this fate.

Hisoka eyes snap open, as his hand wraps around my throat, I can't breathe. "Its all your fault little fruit" his face melts as he says this. Suddenly I am in an open field with fog surrounding me.

A hand grasps my arm, I jump as I turn I meet the melted faces of Alluka and Kalluto. "You couldn't save us." Whispers Kalluto, as she breaks apart. Alluka watches her break and screams out, gripping her hair, she slits her throat. "Why couldn't you save us?" I try to grab her, but she vanishes in my arms.

"You call yourself a King?" I turn and meet the disappointed eyes of Illumi and Milluki. Milluki shakes his head. "I told father you should be King, but I was wrong." His head suddenly pops off as blood sprays everywhere and he falls to the ground. "I died for you." Whispered Illumi as he too crumbled. "And for what?"

"We all died for you." I turned in a circle meeting all my siblings eyes as well as Hisoka's...but no!

"Kurapika?" I whisper. Kurapika's head snaps to mine as blood flows down his mouth. "Some best friend you are." I watch Chrollo hugging onto Kurapika crumbling with tears rolling down his eyes, tears of blood. Leorio is in a distance as he gets shot with an arrow and falls. Kurapika falls on his knees, I go to cradle him in my arms, but he too vanishes, like dust. "You failed." He whispers.

I grip my hair and scream out. "Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!" My eyes snapping closed as I shake my head, the tears flowing."Stop it! Stop it! STOP IT!"

"We can't stop what was your fault." I open my eyes meeting Gon's, his body is jolting, like his been hit by lightening. I scream and go to touch him, I can actually feel him. He hugs me back. "This is your fault Killua! ,its your fault. Your fault. Your fault." He starts screaming 'Your fault' over and over again, each one louder than the last. "KILLUA!" He screams out in anger and pain, as his body fades and I sob.

"KILLUA! KILLUA! KILLUA!"

"KILLUA!" my eyes snap open at Gon shaking me awake, I meet his eyes and see fear laced into them. "You were crying and shaking in your sleep, so I held you b-but you kept crying." He says in a rush. But I only sob in response. He cradles me in his arms, his body doesn't fade. His real. "T-They all dead." My voice cracks, I feel Gon kiss my forehead.

Milluki's severed head and lifeless body.

Illumi's lifeless body

Kalluto's lifeless body

Alluka's lifeless body

My hands grip onto his bare back for dear life, he can't leave me. "Gon, d-don't...l-leave me."

"I would never leave you."

"Do you promise?" I move my head up slightly to meet his eyes. They held sincerity and care in them, he gives me a smile. "I promise." I give him a smile as I snuggle into his chest.

I am sorry dear friend

My hand tightens on Gon's back.

I know Illumi, you and I promised to always be there for each other

Hisoka's last words, replay in my mind, like an endless loop.

it seems we both left you behind.

His last words to Chrollo...a friend he held dear to his heart, a friend my brother held dear to his heart.

Tell the rest of the Troupe I will miss them dearly.

To his hold crew, his best friends, the people he grew up with...

I was glad Chrollo met you little chain user, you made him happy.

To Kurapika...

You were a great friend.

A dear friend to him as well, someone he saw ignited with passion, a passion he was glad he got to see.

You three don't deserve such pain.

He wished them only peace, peace he feels he receives through his death, a peace I wish he never had to experience, a peace Illumi and Milluki shouldn't have experienced and now my beloved sisters as well.

You were a great guy

To Leorio...

You will be a great King one day

To Gon, someone he saw would be a great leader one day, someone he admired.

You and Killua both, ruling by each others side

To me, someone he might not have known for long, but he cherished our time spent together. Someone who was meant to be his brother in law.

Sorry I didn't get to see you two grow into that potential.

He wished to see us become the Kings, he saw us out to be, the Kings he knew we would become. My nails dig into Gon's back, he holds me tighter in response.

Our time spent together was short but cherished

I just wish we spent more time together...I wish I got to know him better, a futile wish now. Why did this have to happen now? Illumi had planned to introduce us to Hisoka this year, but fate had other plans, I would've gotten to know him if it weren't for the curse.

I get to reunite with my love, I get to see Illumi again

He was glad, glad for he got to see his love once more, but I was sad because I wanted to hear more of their love.

I get to be happy with him

I hope they truly get to be happy...

We will see you again dear friend

Words that meant everything to Chrollo, a promise that the three would reunite, but the words also held pain for his two best friends are both gone now.

I desire to know more of their past now more than ever, I see it inappropriate however, as it most likely isn't the time, or is it?

"Gon..."

His head tilts down, as mine tilts upwards. "Yeah?" He whispers so softly, like his afraid I would spiral if he said it any louder. "I have an idea." I whisper.

==================

It was now evening, the perfect time.

It was a simple plan, a plan that will show the enemy that although we have been kicked down, they won't stop our traditions and it was perfect to make a big fuss, as we would leave this place after the ceremony. It was the perfect fuck you to my parents and the perfect sign of respect for those we lost.

Everyone gathers on the field where we train, in utter confusion, the council members stand beside Gon and I, however you can see the woeful atmosphere, you could feel it in your bones, the others felt sadness, but the council, their leaders were dejected, filled with pain from head to toe. None of us felt a string of happiness at this moment, which is why I felt we had to do right by those we've lost.

"We have brought you out here because yesterday evening we took a horrible loss, we were exposed." I referred to the deaths and my identity of course. "But I have realized something, we have been through so much hardships and so have those who left us, but that doesn't mean our traditions should be taken away, so tonight we will have a memorial for all those who we have lost since this war began and then we will leave this place and move to the next compound."

Everyone's faces brighten at the thought of honoring their loved ones, I turn and meet Kurapika's eyes and he gives me a smile as a tear slips down his cheek.

Thank you. I look at Chrollo and nod at his words. Everyone sits in a circle, the same circle we would sit in if someone were to fight and we would cheer, however now we mourn. The council stands in the middle. Chrollo and Gon carry out Hisoka's body and place it in the middle.

Chrollo comes forth and places a necklace on Hisoka's body, one that belongs to Machi, Hisoka wears a garment of Illumi so we need not an item of his, but I have nothing to represent Milluki or my sisters, so I take a knife and cut my hand, squeezing it tight to have my blood run on Hisoka's body. Leorio adds an item and soon more people had items of loved ones or cuts their hands to present blood for who they love.

Kurapika, Chrollo, Bisky and I form a circle as Gon and Leorio stand beside us. We all meet each others eyes as we nod. I grasp Kurapika's hand, my eyes turning bright blue, as his turn bright scarlet, I then grab Bisky's hand as he grabs Chrollo's her eyes turning maroon pink and his black. Chrollo and Bisky then hold hands causing all our hands to glow and a white circle to form around us.

"Here now we envoke liertu elemental force frde Deekratu. Liertu flames frde creativity alicetu passion. Dancing source frde ertualioi, oieksaerli alicetu life. We now soalioioi zefrni forth lifr honour those ekce emtualilier, that zefrni may saniekemtu them lifr peace. Lightening alicetu hearch. Hearch alicetu forge. Deekratu we soalioioi liertutu hence." (Here now we envoke the elemental force of fire. The flames of creativity and passion. Dancing source of heat, light and life. We now call you forth to honour those in death, that you may guide them to peace.Lightening and Hearch. Hearch and Forge. Fire we call thee hence.)

A ring of Fire blazes around us, as a straight line shoots and lights up Hisoka and the items. We then let go of each other's hands. Chrollo then steps forward. He coughs slightly, "I am not sure if you guys are near by, but I just want you two idiots to know, I will not let you live this down for eternity when I join you two." He chuckles slightly as tears pool up in his eyes. "W-We promised to stick together til the end. We fight together, we live together, we die together. R-Remember? And I want to be mad. Gods I want to be mad, mad at the fact that both of you broke that promise, but I can't be mad because I just miss you two so much, we might have spent some time apart, but you two were always and will always be my best friends and I wish you didn't die on me, I wish you were here." I watch Chrollo clench his fist and jaw as the tears race down. "And Machi, I am sorry, I am so sorry for sending you to help with scouting, if I haven't done that you would be alive right now, you were an amazing team mate and I will miss you dearly, just wish the rest of the Troupe could be here, but they had missions and couldn't get here in time as it was a sudden plan, we will mourn again properly as one, I promise."

Kurapika then stepped forward. "Machi, you were one of the realest bitches out there and I loved you for that and cherished our friendship dearly, the only thing I regret now is that we mourn for you, but your soul can't yet rest in peace until we end that curse, which is a promise I will keep to you. To all those who have died. We will avenge you. You will not have died in vain. Hisoka, you truly were a great friend, and I enjoyed battling with you as well, you really loved the thrill of the fight which I found so fascinating, Illumi you were a great friend and your passion is what helped bring the whole Troupe back up, your passion to ensure Killua had a steady future as King, I admired that more than anything, you helped us help the village. And I thank you for that. I hope you and Hisoka live a happy life together."

Leorio stepped forward and said only a few simple words, words we all believed in. "You guys were an inspiration to what we are fighting for, and your sacrifice will be the fire that lights our way, our way to Avenge you and stop this madness."

Gon than stepped forward. "Machi, as Kurapika said you were indeed a real bitch, your honesty was refreshing as Kurapika and I weren't the only ones spitting out facts constantly, you obviously said it harsher, but we all appreciated that. You were a great friend and team mate and you will be missed dearly. Illumi, had I known all those years ago meeting you through Kurapika that you would eventually years later be our eyes and ears in a war we all didn't see coming, I wouldn't have believed it, let alone that you were the brother of my love. You were a great friend, and one hell of a fighter. Hisoka same goes for you, we met way back than, just when you and Illumi were getting to know each other, and years later we in a war and you two were engaged, its actually quite insane how life progresses, I am just sad it ended this way. We will Avenge you all."

I took a deep breath as I looked at the flames, yes the smell of burnt flesh was awful, but it needed to be endured to honour their deaths with dignity, they deserve the honour of heros. Once this is all over, it will be something I will gladly equip them with. "I will start off with those I haven't known personally, I hope they all find peace, Peace to Zushi's parents, peace to Pokkle's wife, Peace to Gon's uncle (his uncle in this was Kite), Peace to Knuckle's brother, Peace to Shoot's fiancé, Peace to Knov, Peace to Machi, to all our fallen brethren, may this flame guide them to peace, while we obtain their vengeance." I then close my eyes and clench my fists. My eyes open, as they are the gateway to the tears attempting their escape. "Milluki, we didn't spend much time together, but the moments we did spend together were great and I am sorry you met the fate you did, I wish I could've helped you then, and I am sorry I failed in that task...Kalluto and Alluka, you two were the best sisters a guy could ask for, some part of me doesn't want to add you to this service at all, for I hope you actually live, but if you don't it's only right I honour you now. I l-love you both dearly, and I am sorry I couldn't be there to protect you, I am sorry your three brothers were no more there for you, I-I am so sorry and I wish I could've hugged you once more and kissed the top of your heads. I even wouldn't mind playing stupid dress up with you two or eating those burnt cakes you two used to make. I will always remember our laughs. I love you three so much."

"Hisoka, it's true we haven't known each other long, which I wish wasn't the case, I wish we had more time to get to know each other, something this curse denied us off, this curse denied you and my brother of your happy ending, and I am sorry for that. If I could turn back time, I would, you would've been a great brother in law. Illumi, wow, where are the words huh?" I sniff as I wipe my tears away. "You were the best brother I could've asked for, the best mentor, the best tutor. You knew how to take care of us all, you knew how to bring us all laughs and most of all you always protected us with your life, right until your last breath. I-I wish I could--" I tried wiping more tears away. "I just wish it all never happened. I wish you would just kick my ass for being late to training, or for getting the wrong answer in those impossible tests you set up, I wish we could all sneak out like we used to, to our secret hideout, that I only figured out once I met everyone here that, that was your magic. You were quite gifted at hiding your abilities, a skill not many witches hold. In simple words you were the greatest and I will miss you dearly, I love you big brother."

"I love you too Kil."

My eyes widen as I turn to see Hisoka and Illumi's ghosts. They give us wide smiles.

"We don't have much time, but we thought we would have a chat with you guys." Spoke Hisoka.

And so we spoke...
