Chapter 1: The New Beginning

“Are you sure, Gon?” A tall woman with short dark caramel haired asked worriedly.

The spiky dark haired boy smile nodding his head enthusiastically. Determination was written all over his face and his aunt known better than anyone that whatever she said would never be able to change the little boy’s decision.

“Your father left you when you were still young for his job as a detective!” The woman insisted. She knew it wasn’t pleasant to try to persuade the boy by talking about his father.

Once again the dark haired boy nodded. “I know. Being detective must be so great that he would abandon his son for it!”

“Detective is a dangerous job!” The woman shouted desperately, she really didn’t want his nephew to follow his brother’s job. She just didn’t want him to be like him. “You never know when you will lose your life! Don’t you understand?!”

Gon looked at his aunt’s face closely. He knew she didn’t really mean to hurt him by mentioning his father. He knew she just worried about him. And he was thankful for it.

Though, it wouldn’t be enough to change his mind.

“I don’t…” The ravenette answered truthfully, “So I want to understand more. I want to become a detective and find out why it was so important for my dad!”

The tall woman sighed, “You really are Ging’s son…” she said as she weakly reached out for the electronic paper that the boy had bugged her with for the past few months. She observed the black words on the digital surface. The first part were already being filled by the spiky haired boy in front of her while the second part were giving some detailed information of the school the boy had insisted on to enter. It was only blank on the last part, the part for the parent’s approval that she kept refusing to fill.

The dark boy waited impatiently as his aunt filled the blank part unwillingly. “Here…” She said after putting her signature.

“Thanks a lot Aunt Mito! Thank you so much! I’ll do my best and become a great detective!” The boy hugged the taller woman tightly and gave her a truly genuine smile. He couldn’t express how grateful he was for his aunt who finally letting him to enroll into that school.

“Then I’ll pack my things now…” The boy exclaimed happily.

The woman dark brown eyes widen immediately hearing her nephew’s word. “Wait! You are leaving tomorrow, Gon?!”

Gon nodded his head enthusiastically. “Yup…”

“Why do I only heard it now?! Explain it, Gon!” Gon jumped back startled by his Aunt sudden loud shout.

“I, I thought you had known it, Aunt Mito…” The boy scratched the back of his head groggily.

“How could I know if you never tell me? Do you think I’m some kind of psychic?”

The boy immediately ran to his room afraid that his aunt would change her mind because of that. “Sorry, Aunt Mito!”

“GON, DON’T RUN AWAY!”

Gon immediately closed his door and locking it quickly. He slammed his body to his bed making an immediate contact between his small back with the soft surface of the bed. His black eyes stared at the pale white ceiling though his mind was wondering somewhere far far away. As he slowly closed his eye lids, an image appeared in his mind, playing the old memory he would never be able to forget.

That day the forest was as green as always. It was just like the usual short stroll he took every evening before the dusk. But, that was the first time he walked further than he usually did. Even though, the sun started to set changing the sky from it clear blue color into beautiful golden orange he didn’t take a single step back to the village instead he walked deeper into the forest. He would never forget the ear-deafening shriek and those almost death experience he felt those day. The feeling of the death grip he got from the scary big man was still lingering on his neck skin now and then. The memory was almost blurred at that moments, he only remembered how he could only shook inside the monster grip and losing conscious from the lack of oxygen. In his despair, that was the first time he met his life savior and also learning more about his Dad.

“He’s a great detective… Even now he must be running after the criminal and solving some great yet dangerous mysterious case…” Was what the man named Kai said to the little boy about his Dad. And those words were his base reason to why he suddenly wanted to be a detective and to find his Dad.

“Find me, Gon!”

He felt that his Dad would certainly told him that very words to him. His very first own case given by his Dad. And he was determined to solve it no matter what.

The dark haired boy blinked his eyes opened, a pair of onyx black eyes full of determination. “I will absolutely find you, Dad…” he mumbled before jumping out of his bed continuing with his almost abandoned task of packing his things.

********It’s Called Fate***Meli2cm********

The silver haired teen tip toed his way outside of his big mansion like house. It was an absolute silence, though he was used to the silent atmosphere, the silence had started to tick him off. All of his nerves were on alerted, afraid that his act of sneaking would be busted by either his mother or his brothers. He wouldn’t want his effort of forging his father signature last night to be in vein. He had sent all the needed document, all he left to do was to escape from this golden cage that has restricted him all of the 15 years he lived. He was old enough to know how exactly freedom taste like.

“Good. No one in sight.” The pale teen smirked as he readied himself to bolt right through the mansion entrance door.

A light tap on his shoulder was certainly not what he expected. The silver haired boy froze on the spot as the slender hands gripped his shoulder tightly.

“Shit. Mom…” The boy turned his body in full alert to find a tall pale woman smiling creepily at him. Her long wavy dark blue hair was being let loose behind her slender back. Her perfect figure was covered with beautiful pale blue satin gown. A pair of sharp eyes with the exact same color as the storm stared directly at his icy blue ones. Yup. That was absolutely his mother.

“What are you doing, Killua?” She smiled which only made the silver haired boy shivered. “Are you taking a walk? What are you doing with that bag though?”

Killua gritted his teeth. No. He didn’t want to stop now. He had to, he had to go outside this prison-like-house and this was his only chance. And the next thing he knew, instead of using his brain to think he acted based on his instinct.

“Wha—?!” The woman let out a small groaned as her gut was kicked hard by the younger boy. As to make sure that the woman wouldn’t follow her, the boy gave the woman some more of his punches and kicks before running away from the big mansion.

********It’s Called Fate***Meli2cm********

The dark haired boy once again checked his bag making sure that he didn’t forget to bring anything important. He smiled wouldn’t wait anymore to get into the train that would bring him into the HDS, Hunter Detective School, the school he had been dreaming of since Kai told him about it. Well. The only question he had always had about this school was why the heck they used the word ‘Hunter’ in it. Did they have to hunt too?

“Gon, you don’t forget to take your handkerchief right?” Aunt Mito asked as she tried to pry at the boy’s back pack.

Gon could only smile at his aunt. Genuinely he was glad to have his aunt by his side and he was even more thankful to have such a kind person to look after him. “Don’t worry, Aunt Mito… I have checked everything three times already.” The boy smiled sweetly at the woman. “I think it’s time already, Aunt Mito…” Gon said as he looked at his watch. He needed to leave now or he would be left behind by the train he had to hop on.

“Is it already?” Aunt Mito said sadly, Gon had a feeling that his aunt was holding back her tears for him not to worry. With a swift moment, the little boy gave his aunt a tight hug memorizing the warmth he wouldn’t feel for some times in the future.

“I’m sorry, Gon… I don’t mean to say that your father had abandoned you… I’m the one who told him to leave you in my care… I just… I just…” Aunt Mito’s voice shook with every word she said. The ravenette teen could only tighten his hug to stop his aunt from crying even further.

“Don’t worry, Aunt Mito… I know already… I know you don’t have any intention to make me sad” Gon said softly not stopping to caress his aunt’s back.

His aunt suddenly broke the hug and ran inside before running back with an old journal on her hand. The dark haired boy eyed the journal curiously but waiting for his aunt to take a breath from the run.

“Thanks God I don’t forget to give you this…” Aunt Mito smiled sadly as she pushed the old journal into Gon’s hand.

Gon looked at the old journal with eyes full of curiosity. Slowly and carefully he opened the pages only to find almost fading messy hand writing here and there. He looked back at his aunt’s eyes as if asking her what and whose book was it…

Like she could clearly read the boy’s expression, the short haired woman smiled sweetly, “It’s your dad’s journal… Hopefully it could help you…”

Gon brightened up hearing his aunt’s explanation. That was the first time that his aunt has ever letting him had his dad’s belonging beside his dad’s small hand pistol he insisted on keeping when he was 10—which made him ended up with a long scolding in the end. “Thank you, Aunt Mito! I love you!” The boy hugged his aunt once again.

“Take care of yourself, Gon… Don’t be too hard on yourself there…” Aunt Mito tightened her hug before she reluctantly loosened her hug as both of them could heard the honk from the taxi that would take the ravenette into his new journey.

The dark haired boy took last glance at his aunt’s face and his home before running inside the taxi that would take him into the train station. His heart was thumping loudly, the heart beat was loud and fast from the thrilled he felt deep inside. Though it was a small step, he believed he had shortened the distance between him and his Dad…

“Higher, Dad!”A man was playfully throwing his kid up in the sky getting a loud giggle from the little boy.

“Hahaha… You are such a brave kid, Gon…” The man laughed with the little kid. Before he suddenly stopped playing with the kid and putting the little boy on his lap and staring at his dark eyes with a serious expression, “Gon… If you ever get this stupid crazy idea of following my path… Can you find this friend of mine called Silva and tell him that I’m so sorry?”

“What do you mean, Dad?”

“SHRIEEEEK…”

The dark haired boy woke up in shock as his head hit the front seat of the taxi from the sudden breaking movement made by the taxi driver.

“Aoch…”Gon groaned rubbing his forehead. It wasn’t hurt, though he was kind of shock to be woken up like that. His mind was in a haze, but he could still make out the dream he just had. It was strange though. He believed he had never met his dad since the day he left Gon in Aunt Mito’s care. But, what was that dream? It was too realistic to just be the work of his imagination. But why he couldn’t remember any single detail about that time?

“Boy… Little boy, we have arrived…” The taxi driver voice woke Gon up from his day dreaming. He looked around to find himself in a strange place. Many people were walking here and there in a fast pace like they were chased by an invisible chaser. The only things assuring him that he was in the right place were the big wooden plank with big black ‘TRAIN STATION’ words on it and the loud ‘chuu chuu’ing sound he believed to be the train’s sound.

Gon paid the taxi driver while smiling thankfully at the old man before jumping out of the yellow vehicle. His black eyes savoring the strange and new sight in front of him while his legs slowly walking into the ocean of human.

It took some of his precious minutes to find the train he needed to take to get to the HDS. Thankfully he got inside the train in the nick of the time. Gon smiled in relief as he tried to catch his breath after crazily running through the crowded train station.

“Thanks God… It certainly would be a problem if I was left behind…” The dark haired boy huffed in relief. His legs walked slowly toward his chair, the #20 chair as it was written in the ticket on his hand. Finally finding the right chair, Gon put his backpack aside and sitting on the cozy and comfy looking red coach. The ravenette turned to the right side of his seat and opened the curtain revealing a beautiful scenery of vast green plain on the below and a sea of blue sky with pure white clouds here and there.

Mesmerized by the beautiful scenery, the ravenette took out his small phone from his backpack and took a quick shot of the view from the train window. “I wish I could let Aunt Mito see it…”Gon sighed already feeling a homesick. But this small matter would never be able to waver his determination. No matter what he would find his dad…

Gon made himself as comfortable as possible as he knew that it would be a long journey.

********It’s Called Fate***Meli2cm********

Somewhere far far away from the dozing off ravenette, a silver haired teen was frantically running away from dozen guards in black and white suit. Though, the silver boy was far too fast and agile to be caught by the dozen olden men. Killua made a swift and clean high jump over his tall house wall-like fence before looking back and not seeing any single of his pursuer. He smirked but not slowing down his pace, he knew though he had temporarily lost them it wouldn’t be long before they would start to catch up.

“Young master, Killua…” Killua could hear his so called body guards calling his name loudly, “Don’t run away…” They shouted again.

The silver haired teen turned back and pulled out his tongue at his house direction, “IN YOUR DREAM!” He shouted as loud as he could.

Finally…

FINALLY HE WAS FREE!

Nothing shackling his arms or his legs anymore. No cage would stop him from doing the things he wanted anymore. No one to told him what to do and what not to do anymore. It would just be him and him only that decide what he wanted to do.

“HELL YEAH!” Killua pumped his fist high into the sky sniffing the first freedom air around him. “Now, I only had to find this stupid place called ‘Hunter Detective School… Who name the school with such a stupid name by the way? Hope the place would be fun…” Killua mumbled scratching the back of his head.

********It’s Called Fate***Meli2cm********

Two people…

Two different personalities…

Two different starting points…

Two different goals…

But only something as silly as fate that would be able to connect them…

And this was just the beginning…
