Third-person POV

Though she'd never admitted it, Rin didn't really know what to expect for Bisky's next training. With all the secret training over the past few days, fiddling the shovel and digging a tunnel, her body ached. Which was another thing she'd never admit, even though hiding the throbbing pain in her limbs was nearly impossible.

Clank.

As Rin struck the earth with the shovel, her arms wobbled like they were shaken from their deep slumber. Her body began to sway backward before losing all the colors from her face. It was as if her heart had suddenly stopped beating and all the blood had run down into her boots.

Thud.

At the sound of something collapsing, Gon and Killua turned their heads only to find an unconscious Rin laying on the ground.

Petrified at the sight, the boys screamed her name.

"RINN!!!"

Rin POV

I woke like I'm hooked up the mains. No sleepiness, no slow warming up. Within seconds of realizing I was unconscious I am on my feet, eyes wide, dreams not just forgotten but erased. Wait-- was I dreaming in the first place? I can't even tell!

I am drinking in the feedback of all my senses. Aside from my noisy breath, there is nothing to be heard-- Wait a sec!

I snapped my head aside to see Bisky pouring down a cup of coffee like she usually does in the morning. The realization came a little later than I expected, I slapped myself.

"How many days since I passed out?" My eyes were wide as it can be. "What about Gon and Killua? Are they still worried about me?!" I'm too horrified to know my fate as Bisky took a sip of her coffee from the canned cup with a calm smile.

That's it I'm dead!

"I'm surprised you'd be asking me that. I was expecting a confession or an apology the second you wake up."

I shrink myself in guilt the second the words left her mouth.

"You've been out for three days and the boys are fine. I let them continue their training as I allow you to be in my care for the whole time" Bisky placed the cup on the ground with a clunk before snapping her eyes straight at me.

"You think I wouldn't notice your disappearance every last one-third of the night? Or perhaps you think I would be a fool not to notice the sudden change of pressure in the atmosphere?"

"Your reckless behavior could've put a permanent strain on your body!" She scolded.

"..."

I had no words to say.

My heart threw itself backward and clung to the bars of my ribcage. My eyes only dared to venture as far as her chest as she began.

"I was waiting for how long you will last handling your aura carelessly like that." Bisky crossed her arms. "But I'm still impressed that you last for five days. If you kept on overwhelming yourself without proper care, it wouldn't do you any good. What's worst, you could exhaust yourself to d--"

"I won't," I spoke. Bisky was taken aback by my response but I continued to look at her in the eyes as I spoke the next words. "I won't die just by that, that's because... I'm a Saiyan."

*****************

Bisky had listened to every word I said, about the revelation of me being a Saiyan, and all there is to know about me. She hadn't said a word, she was probably in deep thought sinking in all the information as I sat in front of her with my head hung low.
