[Author's Note]

Just wanted to pop in and say that there are MAJOR SPOILERS for the anime in this chapter. This story does take place after the anime so please keep that in mind when reading. Don't worry though, there are no manga spoilers in this story.

You always wondered what would happen once you met your soulmate.

Would there be instant fireworks and kissing and love and all the wonderful things that come with having a soulmate? Or would your soulmate be repulsed by you and want nothing to do with you?

Both options weren't exactly desirable to you. But, luckily, neither of those things happened. Instead, you and Killua stared blankly at each other, both still surprised to be in each other's presence, not exactly sure how to continue. You couldn't help but notice that his hand on your wrist was cold but gentle. Although his touch was new, it still felt so familiar. You felt your cheeks heat up and immediately his eyes widened and he dropped your wrist.

Gon came closer to you, completely unaware of the unexpected revelation you just had.

"Killua's right, (y/n)-chan. We're not going to let you go out there alone! Come with us!" Gon pleaded at you with his big brown eyes and your heart lurched against your chest. This might be my best option right now...

You sighed as you looked between Gon and Killua.

"Alright, let's go. But we need to stop at my place on the way."

...

"Eh?! (y/n)-chan, why do you live in an abandoned building?" Gon gaped at the old crumbling building in front of the four of you.

You shrugged sheepishly at the group, "I was planning on getting a better place after saving up enough money. It's really not that bad, honestly."

"Not that bad?" Killua snorted. Alluka clung to his side and watched the building with wide eyes, "One strong gust of wind and that thing is crumbling to the ground. You're living in a Jenga tower."

You felt your eye twitch in irritation as Gon and Alluka let out a little giggle.

"You guys stay here while I get my stuff."

A cough erupted from your lungs as soon as you stepped inside the old building. Your little makeshift apartment smelled like dust and mold. You couldn't say that you would miss this place, really. Your last three weeks here haven't really been all that fun. Sleeping on the floor of this dark and empty place at night was lonely. You couldn't help but crave more. Going to Whale Island should be fun, you thought to yourself as you grabbed your things. You loved it when you were twelve and now you could stay there for as long as you wanted. Or, at least until your father found you...

He won't find me there. I just won't heal while I'm out there. It should be safe there, right?

You shook your head in frustration. No time to think about that now. We need to get out of here.

You tied your black hoodie around your waist and slung your katana over your back. You took one last glance at the empty walls and pulled the two ends of your ponytail apart to make it tighter. With a determined and hopeful smile, you turned around and left the building.
