Killua's POV

I sat on a chair beside the bed where she slept. She kept wearing that mask even in sleep.

I tried to take it off, but Kira said Morté wouldn't like that. It made me wonder why she keeps wearing the mask.

I stayed by her side all the time. I wanted to be there when she wakes.

I kept holding her hand as she laid there. The chairman provided this room for her and Kira.

Gon, Kurapika and Leorio came to check before. They asked me to take a rest, but how could I? I'm worried sick about her.

Me and Kira sit in silence. She had shifted back to her fox form.

"Do you like her?" she asked suddenly, breaking the silence.

I blushed hard at her sudden remark.

"I think that blush telltale your feelings. However I want to hear it straight from you. Do you like her?" she said seriously.

"No, I don't! I-I don't know..." I answered.

I realized when I carried her inside the blimp that I feel something for her.

I don't know since when I start feeling like this.

She makes me care. She makes me feel content just being with her. But I just don't know.

"Ok... I will accept that answer for now. Because I don't want her to be kissed by someone who don't even like her," she indirectly scolded me.

I laughed nervously and awkwardly.

She stared at me and starts, "I'll be waiting for you."

"You will?"

"Yes. I want milady to be happy. With someone who loved her dearly. I hope that someone will be you. I can see it in your eyes that you are sincere so I will wait," she softly said.

"Thank you."

After awhile we arrived at our destination.

I was reassured by Kira that Morté will be fine with her by her side.

"She looks like she have a nightmare. Are you sure?"

"Yes. Redo your second phase and return, ok?"

I hesitated a little before climbing down the blimp for the second phase.

I approached Gon and the others and listened to Menchi's explanation.

"Now, everyone look down, this is a spider eagle's web," we look down as she explained.

We are all to dive into the canyon, retrieve a spider eagle egg and boil it.

Menchi demonstrated it. She got an egg and caught a wind updraft.

Everyone hesitated except us four. We jumped and hang onto the web.

I feel some of the others jump as well. A person let go and get the egg, but he didn't resurface since there is no updraft to catch.

We all succeeded thanks to Gon. I took two, one for me and the other for Morté.

We boil our eggs. Once they were done and we all took a small bite. It was delicious.

Menchi congratulate all 43 of us who passed. And informed us to get on the blimp to reach the third phase site.

It seems Morté is not disqualified which made me relieved.

I hurried my pace and speed walk to her room.

I opened the door silently. As to not wake her but she already did.

"Yo, you okay?" I asked.

"Hmm... I'm fine," she solemnly answered.

Why is she so quiet? Crap! Is it because I kissed her?! But I don't know what else to do to get her to drink it!

"I'm sorry!!!" I blurted out.

"Huh?" she looked at me, tilting her head in confusion.

"I'm sorry I kissed you without permission!!" I apologizes, blushing hard at the process.

She... giggled..? "It's okay. Thank you for preventing me from doing something I will regret. If you're wondering why I keep silent I was just thinking."

"Oh, okay. Here, for you. A spider eagle boiled egg," I tossed the egg to her. "We redo our second phase. To get that is our task."

She catches the egg. "Where is Kira?" I asked.

"Taking a stroll."

She takes off her mask and cloak. Her strawberry blond hair cascading softly.

Eyes shaped like a doe with their beautiful violet coloring. Framed with her long eyelashes.

Pale skin pops out her pink lip. She resembles an angel.

She takes a small bite. Squealing in delight. "Yummy! It's delicious!" she exclaimed cheerily.

I didn't realize I was holding my breath until she spoke.

"Why do you hide your face? And--"

She brings up her finger to my mouth, hushing me.

"You'll know soon. I'll tell you someday. For now this is a secret between us, okay?" she smiled.

I nodded my head hastily. I blushed, I was sure I looked red like a tomato since she laughed.

I didn't mind, her laughter sounds like angel bells.

"I'm going to take a look at Gon and the others," I excused myself.

Behind the doors my knees gave up on me and I slid down, sitting.

"Killua what are you doing?" I turned my head to see Gon.

"Gon! Want to explore the ship?" I said hoping to distract him from asking again.

"Sure! Kurapika and Leorio are resting."

Leorio's POV

Me and Kurapika rest, staring into space.

"Hey, Kurapika," I started. He didn't answer, I'll take that as a cue to continue.

"You like Morté, don't you?" I said. I smirked at his slight twitch.

"Why don't you tell her?" I asked. Silence welcome me back.

"If not, someone else might. Like Killua for example."

"Killua?" he finally spoke.

"You notice the way he looked at her, right? Even if we asked him to rest, he stubbornly stayed by her side," I nudged him.

"That's why you stayed quiet this whole time, am I right?" I guessed.

He didn't answer. "I'll take that as a yes."

I take a look at his face. My jaw dropped at his blushing face.

"I know. But I think it's not the right time to tell her," he said, rubbing the back of his neck.

I grin widely. I chuckled as I pat his head. He swatted my hand.

Gon's POV

Me and Killua snatched some food from the kitchen. We were caught and was kicked out.

We sat near the window. While looking at the lights we finish our food.

The city lights looked like stars. I stared at them in awe.

"Hey Killua, what's your family like?"

"Huh? My family?" he responded.

"Yup," I replied.

"They're assassins," he stated not caring one bit.

"All of them?" I asked.

For a moment he was taken aback then starts laughing.

"You're funny, you know?" he said trying to choke his laughter. "I told a lot if people before, only you've taken it seriously."

I looked at him confused. "But it's the truth, isn't it?"

He looks out the window again. "What makes you think that?"

"I kinda just know?" I said not too sure how to explain.

"Most people didn't know whether I lied or told the truth. That was supposed to be my charm point."

"Is that so..." I awkwardly muttered.

"I'm from a family of assassins, so they're all assassins" he nonchalantly said.

"And the family has really high hopes for me... But I can't stand it. Who wants to have their life planned out for them?" he paused before continuing. "When I told my parents about it, they freaked out. My mother bawled saying I have talent for it. What kind of parents are they?" He gave me a dumbfounded expression.

"Hehe." I didn't know what to respond at that.

Suddenly Killua flinched and immediately look behind him. I followed, but there was no one there.

"What are you two doing here?"
