Your eyes flickered to the boy with the white hair momentarily as you prepared to heal Alluka. When all three of you arrived, the boy immediately brought a small pillow from the couch for Alluka to rest her head on as you healed her. He was across from you now, sitting cross-legged on the floor on the other side of Alluka's body.

The boy hasn't spoken a word since he found you and Alluka in the alley. After you asked to heal Alluka, the boy seemed frozen for a moment before gesturing for you to follow him. It must have been a shock to see his sister so hurt, you thought to yourself, this poor boy is probably still in shock right now.

"Don't worry," you said to the boy, your (e/c) eyes meeting his sapphire ones, "I'm going to save her."

With your hand ghosting over Alluka's side and your eyebrows furrowing in concentration, you focused your nen and watched as a golden glow began to emit from your palm. Tiny, golden butterflies made from nen kissed the wound gently, their wings fluttering against Alluka's damaged skin. Even after years of practice, it still took a lot of concentration from you to heal a wound quickly and thoroughly. Your eyes squinted at the wound as the skin finally began to regenerate. You could already feel a bit of your life energy being drained from you as you began to heal. Your vision became hazy with exhaustion, but you kept going.

The boy across from you leaned forward to watch more carefully, his eyes analyzing your movements and the butterflies emerging from your palm.

After about two minutes, the wound in Alluka's side was completely healed. The color that had drained from her face returned, her cheeks as rosy as they were when you saw her in the marketplace this afternoon. Her sky blue eyes opened and she jumped up in excitement.

"Onii-channnn!" She smiled brightly as she jumped up to hug him.

The boy's eyes widened in surprise at her boost in energy. Cute.

You chuckled softly, "She's going to have a lot of energy for a little while. She probably won't sleep tonight, sorry."

Crap. You could feel your eyes begin to close and your ability to keep your head up beginning to dwindle to nothing. I have to warn them to leave. I have to...

Alluka turned her head to look at you with a bright smile, "Thank you, (y/n)-chan...(Y/n)-chan? Are you okay?"

Her voice faded to a whisper as you collapsed and suddenly everything went to black.

...

There was something cold on your forehead.

Faintly, you could hear voices conversing in an excited whisper. What's going on? Where were you again?

Your eyes fluttered open to see two boys talking with each other, one more animated than the other. The boy with the white hair that you met yesterday was sitting in a chair by the window. His eyes met yours upon noticing you were awake, but his expression unreadable. There was another boy sitting at the end of your bed. Immediately, you recognized the odd green outfit matched with bright hazel eyes and a big smile.

"Gon-kun?" You gasped, a smile quickly blooming on your face, and the cold rag falling from your forehead as you sat up. How long has it been? Five years?

...

You were both twelve years old then.

Your father had taken you with him for one of his "business meetings." He often chose remote places to meet with the shady people he worked with. Less police. Less chance of getting caught. Less chance of you trying to flee in a place where you didn't know where to go.
