2# Awake

It was a week since Gon disappeared... Kite and Killua knew something was wrong. The young boy never was like this... so Kite assumed for the worst... but Killua began frantically searching whenever he could...

...

In a cave separate from the eggs of the three planned royal guards stood a golden bulb.. nen flared off of it as it pulsed before one of the planned royal guard egg pulsed in response... before they both hatched at the exact same time. The queen smiled slightly as she felt the presence, "his strength is glorious... Young Gon..." when she stuck her claw inside of the boy and put him to sleep... she saw his memories, a ability of making a human directly into a Chimera ant.

"Perhaps humans aren't all bad..." she remembered the white haired boy... knowing exactly why he got caught... the boy was defiantly broken after how his best friend told him the brutal truth. She looked towards the small distention of her abdomen and kept on eating the meat balls... "Gon might be able to persuade his brother into giving him humanity.. or it might be the other way around... perhaps it might be that his humanity will slowly be gone."

...

The shadow slowly stood up from where it hatched and looked out into the cave... the figure seemed similar to how he use to be... but a black bushy tail protruded from his tail bone and wolf like ears sprouted on his head, also he had black marks across his face..

"Gon... Gon is my name..." the voice seemed to be different... almost... voided. He still retained his boyish features.. but he seemed so serious. His eyes were slightly slanted with it being a darker amber. "Mother should be getting ready for brother.." he walked towards entrance before he turned to see another figure.. "Gon... is that right?" He looked at the figure who had similar features to his own.

"The queen told me our names... Mine is Neferpitou." The girl ant with white hair and cat like ears said. Gon nodded slowly before walking towards a area where a few ants where standing... a bunny like ant man and a penguin ant... "You were talking about gifts?" Pitou said, her ears twitched slightly hearing the ants heartbeat increase. "Do you mind... if we join?"

Gon looked towards Pitou who seemed to be playing mind games with the lesser ant... his eyes was focused on something else. He slowly walked towards the pile of bones hearing a small stifle. "G-gon? Is that you?" A voice timidly asked... the once human boy went wide eye and raised a eyebrow, how could a human know his name... His eyes glowed slightly before he waved his hand and before he put his finger to his lips and gave a small hush. 

Turning around he walked away from the pile of bones and went towards Pitou who now began to walk away. "Pitou, do you know why I was born away from you and the other two." Gon asked making Pitou look over, her cat like features made her seem joyful and confused, Placing her four fingered hand to the back on her head and scratched her ears. "I'm not sure, the queen only said that their was a extra guard... Your the king's brother she said." She shrugged her shoulders before turning back away. "As long as the king is protected it doesn't matter why." her tail went from one side to another as she and the other two low ants walked away with her.

Gon turned his head back to the bones before walking towards the human under the bones. "How does a human know my name." Gon whispered making a hand appear out of the bones before grabbing a skull and moving it, "It's me Pokkle, and what do you mean human, you're human too." The ant tensed, his tail swishing before growling lowly. "I am not a human... I suggest you leave... knowing my name gave you a pass... however," Gon's eyes glowed as he tilted his head, the smirk etching his face made Pokkle tense in fear. "If I see your face again I will rip you apart and give your head to my mother." The red haired teen tensed before slowly moving the bones away and began to dig the dirt walls before hitting air. 

Gon felt his aura flare before turning back around... "He must of recognized me when I was a human... but how would he know my name." The boy thought before the saying from Pitou came from his mind, "That's right.." The smirk on the ants face shot a fear through surrounding ants as he walked passed. "All that matters is brother." Looking towards the left he saw Pitou standing there next to Peggy looking over his shoulder as he held a object.. "What are you doing?" He asked in confusion while Neferpitou gave him a look of curiosity. "We are trying to figure out a few of the humans abilities. Peggy found out its called Nen." The word seemed to hit something in Gon's memory.

"Nen, it is easy to figure out. It is the energy within everyone.. How do I know that..." Gon said before he faltered... thinking the last a moment later. "It seems you as you were before knew of Nen." Peggy deduced, Pitou gave him a bump on the head. "Come on brain, get some more out of there Gon." He gave her a deadpanned look but he closed his eyes to concentration. "Water divination." He whispered before he looked around before locking eyes in the junk section of the room. Grabbing a cup, and a few leafs that made its way into the ant nest. "You." He pointed towards a ant that seemed to be one of the grunts. "Fill these with water." He said making it nod and grab it with its little claws. 

"I wish I had memories like that." Neferpitou whined making Peggy shrug, "You were the product of many humans Pitou-sama, It would be hard for one personality to dominate the rest... I'm not sure how Gon is so used to a memory... the human traits he has must have been a very energetic child with a big mind of imagination and thoughts." Gon was listening in the conversation, but his eyes were closed... trying to make out anything... before a flash of a white haired teen made Gon go wide eye... a tear falling from his eyes. "Great now he's melting Peggy good job.." Pitou said before Peggy shook his head, "That is what we call a tear Pitou-sama, What did you see Gon-sama?" 

Gon wiped the droplet before looking up and shook his head in confusion. "I'm not sure... It'll come back to me..." He whispered before looking out in the open cave. "Peggy, relay what information I have to the others... We will be here for a while."
