Chapter 7
When I can see again, I am standing in the middle of a luxurious room, alone. Looking all around, I wait. All of a sudden I hear loud moanings, and then I see them, Life size humans, made of balloons. I gasp. They all have the happiest looks on their faces, and with their arm stretched out they start whispering.
"It's going to be okay, Skyler."
"We won't let anything hurt you."
"Here have a hug."
"We love you Skyler." They start to encircle me, and my face goes pale white.
The first balloon man thing is about to touch me, when I get out of shock. I grab my knife and swiftly cut through him. A loud popping noise bangs in my ear, and I scream, falling to the ground to cover my ears. The balloon man thing flies away before the next one advances on. I can't control these things, they don't have any hair. Why is my nen ability so useless against balloons?
Standing up and summoning some wax, I press them into my ears and swing wildly. I can still hear the popping, but it isn't as bad. I am doing pretty good now that I can't hear them want to care for me.
One of the balloons jumps from my blind spot and attaches to my backpack, hands grabbing my shoulders. I scream again. The balloon is practically molesting me and even though it is made of latex, it feels like an actual loving human touch. Taking advantage of my shock, a balloon man thing jumps at me from the front. I stumble back, tripping and then falling. The balloon man thing on my back cushioning my fall before exploding.
I slash away at the balloon in front of me rendering it to pieces. There are only about 10 left and I close my eyes, memorizing where they are, I move fast enough to cut them in one swipe. I open my eyes, panting.
"Good job, you pass." The voice says and then I find myself sitting strapped in the chair again, the piece of glass moving off my face. The straps unclip, and I get up and walk back to the door I came through.
Illumi is standing there no expression on his face again.
"Number 301, please state your biggest fear." I sit on the floor tired, and begin watching Illumi's face. His mouth barely opens,
"Losing control of my younger brother, causing him to ruin our family name." Even Illumi, a Zoldyck assassin, has fears that come from the heart. His fears are tied to his family and although it is absolute loyalty in a twisted way, I didn't see it coming. Even he has more heart than I do.
Illumi walks toward through the door, and as it closes, the screen in front of me lights up. I see Illumi walking into the room, then taking a seat on the chair. Straps whip around him and the piece of glass slowly lowers onto his face. The screen in front of me flashes and I soon see forest. Illumi is standing there, Killua in front of him. I am a little embarrassed, he must have saw those balloon things and though I was a wimp when I started to scream.
"Little Kil, where are you going?" Illumi's cold voice rings out.
"I am leaving." Killua says harshly. "I don't want to be an assassin anymore, I want to make friends." Illumi looks down on his little brother, eyes swirling.
"You don't have friends Kil, and even if you did, you would just betray them." Illumi says, "You can't help but want to know if you are stronger, if you could kill them." Killua looks fearful. "Killing is in your blood, it is who you are." Illumi says strongly.
"NO!" Killua screams. "I am not going to kill anymore, you can't control me! I am leaving and never coming back!" Killua runs out of the forest and out of sight.
