*Edited and revised : ).
Okay so some people might be confused as to why is the same chapter uploaded once again. Well its not. I mean I sort of changed the first and second chapter and even added a prologue. I know you guys are disappointed that this is not a new chapter but I will be uploading a new chapter *hopefully* next month.
Warning: Gon is a little wiser and preservative which is odd because it's Gon.
A/N: Your reviews really motivate me thanks a lot guys! I promise to update as soon as possible as I can.
A/N (Again): So like I decided that I would change the way Gon addresses 'herself' into 'himself' probably cause its going get funnier from there.
Disclaimer: I don't own it.

Up till now….
…Gon our protagonist of the story turns up in a seven year old girl's body after he is killed in his previous life. He then later discovers that he is actually in a parallel universe where the girl version of him lives and also meets his previous aunt-Mito, as his new current uncle. He is surprised to see the alternate universe to be almost the same except of the few and many obvious alterations that is the sudden appearance of Ging in the dining table, the meeting of Kaito and as well as the G.I masters which was not encountered in his previous life.
Now….
Plan
The moonlight shone brightly in the night sky making the night almost look enchanted and the leaves swayed back and forth centering the motion between the young man and the little girl.
"Gon Why did you cut your hair?"
"…"
It was strange.
"You didn't even talk much."
"…"
It hurt.
"I wish you would tell me something."
"..I...can't…"
I wish you would.
"What happened to you Gon?"
"…"
He wanted to cry, Cry for her.
"I…I promise the next time you see me, I'll definitely be stronger, Mito-san."
And she disappeared.
Just like that.
Just like him.
Just like Ging.
And he just stood there as salty wells poured out in frustration.
A big sail ship arrived on the port of the Whales Island and a small crowd of people could be seen swarmed around the harbor to give good wishes to the boarders. There were mothers, fathers, children, lovers all wishing them a safe and a happy journey. The soothing breeze drifted carryings the shouts and cries of people from the port, lovers kissed, friends hugged, parents soothed and children ran around in delectation.
A lazy yawn escaped from Ging's mouth and he boarded the ship as he continued to wave a sleepy goodbye at Mito and Grandma's direction. Though at all on the lone shore which consisted of his cousin and grandma along with some known comrades from Whale Island, he was sure that his brat would come showing him the most brilliant smile and waving him goodbye as if he was going to fight a war but today there was no sign of her which was odd because the space beside grandma which was usually occupied by Gon was occupied by Mito this time.
Ging decided it was strange and he didn't like it. He didn't like the fact that when her father was going off on a long adventure which would manifestly last for a couple of years away from home, she was not there to see him off. He got annoyed thinking what could be so important that she would not wish her father a goodbye but would be somewhere else doing God knows what to which Ging doubt that it would be more important than this.
His hand continued to wave at them as Ging's mind went travelling about his brat and as he guessed his daughter was probably hiding something from him judging by her absolutely abnormal behavior yesterday, his suspicion grew stronger when he saw that his daughter was no longer sea sick instead a sea fanatic because as a baby Gon used to always complain about having the feeling of nausea when a journey on the seas was placed before her but now she acted like she was born in the sea. He thought her change was absolutely striking, she no longer was the chiming innocent girl who was easily swayed with tales of princesses and princes but instead her demeanor had changed into a fierce one who touched many people but was affected by a chosen few. It was a bizarre that her daughter was no longer herself but a complete matured person which Ging thought was completely disturbing.
Therefore for him to figure this out, it did not please him in the least that his daughter was no longer a small sweet girl with eyes with twinkles and sparkles but instead her eyes were old filled with power, knowledge and blood. It made him feel that she was ready to accept any challenge placed before her without any second thoughts.
It scared him at first but at the same time it filled him with sparkles of excitement to know more about his completely transformed daughter. It made him curious and a lush of exhilaration ran through his veins as the sense of pride and joy about his daughter completely took him on cloud nine, he wanted to know more but he was afraid that it was not the right time neither it was the right opportunity. He had to wait for the right time and possibly spend more time with her but that he decided would be stored for the next time he would see her again.
It ignited his curiosity at how he was curious about his kid when she finally changed and though no matter how much Ging wanted to bother and meddle in his daughter's personal matters, he couldn't. It wasn't because he was an irresponsible, lazy father which he certainly (was) wasn't but it was the sole reason that he believed that his daughter was an independent individual able to take the decisions which was best for her, though it pained him a little to see that she was originally much closer to her uncle and great grandmother than him as Gon was the last memory and memento of his most precious wife.
The sea breeze combed through his thick spiky hair as the sails rose up and the masts were drawn, he very vaguely spotted the fading figure of his grandma and cousin which soon dissevering from sight.
Ging took notice of the slightly swollen and red eyes of his fellow cousin who tried his best to hide it with a smile, it was then he apprehended that something must have surely happened between Mito and Gon because as far as Ging knew Mito, it was that ever since he entered his late teens he had cried about almost everything related with Gon. Gon was like his candy eye or something and Ging knew that for Mito, Gon was his happiness and pleasure. The younger male had attached himself so much with his niece that it was almost as if his whole life was centered on Gon Freeccs.
Ging didn't question or object about the close proximity of his cousin and his daughter just because he knew that Mito thought that he was not a father Gon deserved so he tried his best to be the perfect father figure though that more likely turned out to be a mother figure.
Ging inevitably didn't regret his decision, he believed what he had done wasn't wrong and neither was it right but what was done was done. The past couldn't be changed no matter what you do so it was useless to grieve over matters that were in the past.
The small vault of Wales Island slowly disappeared out of view along with the silhouettes of the two. Ging turned his back on the island and headed towards his comrades while deep inside of him he was bugged of the feeling of not seeing his little kid one last time before his departure. He kept staring into thin air as his thoughts dispersed and somehow for the first time Ging wondered when he will arrive back on his homeland.
He realized that he would definitely miss her.
While amidst the loud uproars, goodbyes on the shore and Ging's thoughts, on the deeper and quieter region of the ship where barrels and casks of goods resided, careful knocks and creaks were heard from a certain barrel but no one actually heard nor paid any attention to it as the crew members were much more focused to sail and reach their destinations on the right time than to check up on the storage section of the ship.
The undefined barrel which was capable of fitting small framed people with ease shifted and a faint sound of something hitting something was audible followed by a loud groan. The barrel again shifted a bit before small fingers came into view and pushed the barrel's lid. A large pair of brown pools along with the head of a small girl came into view as Gon examined his new surrounding and his fingertips vaguely touched his roughly cut hair that he had promptly cut with one swift stroke of a silver knife found abandoned on the marble kitchen counter. It had almost reminded him of Kurapika when he was checking out his rough handiwork in the mirror. He decided it was not the best haircut one would like but it was enough as long as it didn't get in the way.
A growl escaped his grumbling stomach and Gon gave out a lofty sigh, he slowly grabbed and half opened one of the food barrels he pulled out one juicy looking red apple and took a big bite from it. Biting and swallowing the fruit, he blankly gazed at the small door and the polished wooden surface along with the creaking ceilings of the ship.
Finishing one apple he fetched another one and repeated his actions once again.
"Okay so maybe...just maybe this wasn't a very good idea." He lamely mused.
Gon would have continued eating if it weren't for the squeaky noises heard outside which caused his instant impulse to prompt him to throw the third, almost going to be eaten apple, back into its designated barrel and stuffed himself almost grudgingly back into the empty barrel as swiftly as possible.
A crew man stepped inside to check up on the food storage section incase if someone had stolen something, his eyes wandered here and there in an absent minded way and he stepped up to check up some of barrels to insure if they were full or not and just luckily he nearly missed Gon's barrel which made him almost sigh out loud with relief if the crew man had not been there. With a last few short glances the man finally thought his check up was done and turned on his hells as he headed towards the door and slowly closed it with an audible creak.
Gon gave out a big sigh of relief as soon as the noise of footsteps disappeared and relaxed himself in the barrel. He carefully made sure not to come out of the barrel again after learning his lesson by almost being caught. He feared that if he would be caught then all his plans of following Ging and the Greed Island masters to become more stronger would fail and he'll probably be stuck on Whales Island for the next few months or even years (judging by Mito's pursuit from preventing him to leave the island) capable of learning almost nothing except the girly manners of a girl and living under protection (something which Gon did not favor) but even more than that he would fail Mito-san if he would be caught as he had promised him that he would definitely be more stronger the next time they meet.
A frown almost tugged at the corners of his mouth and his lips almost tightened on remembering last night's encounter with Mito. He had hid everything from Mito purposely (he didn't know why) and even though he ensured his own safety, Mito was not happy in the least.
He wanted to hear the truth (not that Gon was lying to him) and everything that Gon was hiding from him but Gon on the other hand remained quiet causing Mito to have an emotional breakdown and he cried bawling his eyes out in an almost pitiful manner which made Gon almost give up and spill the beans.
It had pained him to see his uncle like that so much that he went and hugged Mito so tightly so that he would be fully assured of his safety and would trust him about everything.
A few minutes later Mito's sobs almost died down except for the occasional hiccups and sniffs. They still hugged each other with Mito's intention of never letting Gon go. He still remembered Mito's pained voice as he spoke as clear as day.
"Why do want to go?" he pleaded
"I….I have to meet someone….." he gave an unsatisfactory response.
He watched Mito's composure fall again but he quickly recovered as he let their embrace be broken and intently stared at him whilst holding him gently from the shoulders.
"I-T won't ask you for the details anymore but….." Mito said with a half-hearted smile and Gon flinched visibly.
"Promise me you will take care of yourself no matter what happens and don't ever forget that you have a home here back in Whales Island." He said in a serious tone which held pride and protection in it.
"I swear, I will." Mito smiled at his niece's response and rubbed her head with great affection.
A smile blossomed on Gon's face as he watched Mito returning back to his original state and waited for his uncle to speak once again.
"But…I-if it's okay then I want to know what changed you."
"Nothing it's just that…I-I am not the Gon you know Mito-san. The one you know as your niece…is no longer there." he saw Mito's hopeful gaze of wanting to know more but silenced himself after that. Although he trusted Mito-san very much, he wasn't sure to speak of it until he was sure about everything that was going on.
"I see…I-it's not much but I want you to do me one last favor as a reminiscence for the previous Gon."
It was a small request but it was enough to make Gon almost regret accepting Mito's favor. He should have known that his uncle had something up in his sleeve when he asked for a second favor and Gon being a non-promise breaker had to agree with him no matter what.
Gon stared down involuntarily at what had turned to be the outcome of Mito's wishes and saw a pink skirt with floral prints and frills on it, it made his body ache so much to see himself wear skirts one day that he wanted to rip it and throw it into the sea right away so that it may be washed and never be found again. Whist muttering away incoherent cruses and words which was probably directed to the said object who was the obligation and the main reason of his vexation as he remembered Mito's wish ringing loud and clear at the back of his head.
"Can you wear your favorite skirt for me one last time, please?"
It had almost offended him to wear the exaggerated cute skirt in front of his but he knew that he couldn't back down now, not if Mito was staring at him like he was offering him billions of Zennies. He gulped almost cringing at the frail material which would surely rip or tear at the slightest harsh military action of the owner.
'You could have done better, girl me' he unwillingly thought with an exaggerated suspire.
Well he at least (thankfully) got to keep his boots.
But more importantly Gon had the strongest urge to stretch his body and run out of the cabin as fast his legs could carry him because he knew that no man was an island and hated solitary confinement even if it meant for a few hours. His urge had gotten worse when he realized that the small glimpse of the blue ocean lied just beyond the sturdy wooden door. It had taken him almost everything to control himself from busting through the door and throwing himself into sea. He knew his love for the nature almost made him demented in a childish manner but he didn't care because he knew that his great passion for Mother Nature probably came because he grew up in it and also because of the several thousand memories and adventures he had remembered on the seas with his comrades, acquaintances, teachers and most of all with Killua.
Killua.
He almost went into an entrance remembering his best friend's name. His throat almost dried and the dreadful feeling of betrayal seeped his mind. It was almost painful for him to remember the events that took place before his death. The smiling face of joy of Killua if they had reunited overwhelmed his senses and his senses sharpened to the max in a desperate attempt to sense to find Killua but he knew it was no use. The silver head was probably thousand miles from where he was, oblivious to the fact that his past life best friend begged of his presence right now.
Gon snuggled closely to his small delicate legs as a red hue formed across his now feminine face and brown pools turned glassy. He tried his best not to let his tears past his delicate barriers and tilted his head against the barrel as a small comfort and closed his eyes in a hazy manner where the feeling of reminiscence conquered his senses. An effort of keeping himself awake had been buried at the back of his mind as all his cautioned senses betrayed him and he appeared as a small fragile girl in need of comfort.
It was small but he just needed someone's words to comfort him then.
An hour had passed since Ging had boarded the ship and he was as bored like hell. He was tired of hearing the twins complain about how early they were setting out on their journey because they could not spend enough sisters bonding time with Gon. It took them a full good hour to nag him and when he could no longer take it he quickly bolted out with an excuse to go to the washroom.
While it was true that he wanted to visit the washroom for some important natural business he had to tend because he had been holding it for a full hour. When he finally came out he obviously wasn't going back to his cabin to hear the bickering twins complain about him again so he decided to take a little stroll of the ship.
He wandered here and there around the ship, sometimes indulging in topics with random people he met and after a full good half an hour of strolling randomly around the ship, he decided to head back to the cabin but then as he was heading back, his gaze slipped to the door of the food storage and his stomach let out a audible growl.
Ging stared at the door for a good full minute before he inspected for any crew members nearby and when he saw none, he sneaked inside while fully knowing it was wrong because no passengers were supposed to enter the food storage until it was lunch time.
He almost tiptoed quietly so that no one from outside could hear him and when he finally reached the barrel labeled as 'apple', he latched out one arm carefully towards it but froze when he heard a strange noise.
Was that a snore?
The sound came once again before vanishing again and Ging's gaze trailed off to the snoring barrel.
Ging was amused by then, he had seen a lot of things in his life including dragons heck he even saw a moving island which was actually a enormously huge turtle but never in his life he had ever encountered with a-
A snoring barrel.
He was entertained by the fact that someone had actually hid himself in a barrel as an effort to sneak into the ship and was not clearly not doing an exactly well job because had a crew member entered now the so called 'trespasser' would be caught and penalized and probably would be thrown off the ship on the next island.
But then Ging started to wonder how small a person could be to fit into that barrel and fall asleep in it. Ging presumed that the barrel was big enough for a child to sleep snoring away and then it struck him.
Since the ship had technically started its journey from Whales Island the trespasser was likely from there and the only child he thought was capable of pulling this kind of recklessness would probably be-
And slowly but surely his hand outstretched and reached for the snoring barrel and gently removed the lid.
-Gon
It had taken him almost everything not to burst out laughing right there. Sure Gon was crazy enough to almost get herself killed to save that stupid fox bear but he had never predicted her to do this. So he decided to give a little change of route in her planes and basically throw the sea on her infiltration plan.
He was excited and somewhere wished he could see her face and reaction from his little devilment. It took all he had from preventing himself to roll on the floor and laugh like a mad plan. He knew that Gon wouldn't exactly be pleased with the sudden alterations in her journey. He was somehow proud of her though probably because he thought that children who kept still were boring.
But first he needed to find a boat.
Gon woke up to the sound of screeching sound of seagulls. Her hazel pools opened then closed immediately getting accustomed to the darkness that surrounded her. She gently let out a groan and slightly got up on her elbow accidently knocking herself with the wooden surface of the barrel but the first thing that hit her was that somehow oddly the barrel was previously was now titled and flat on the ground.
Gon put on his thinking cap on and wondered whether he was actually that tired that he moved so much in his sleep that it made the whole barrel fall down flat and he still would not wake up?
It was impossible for him to not wake up, his senses were far too much trained because even though he was in a seven year old's body he was still confident that he would definitely not stay asleep from a loud thud on falling on the ground unless it was done intentionally by someone.
And immediately Gon's stomach churned uncomfortably.
She propped up at her elbows carefully and finally pushed the barrel lid open. Her pupils dilated and her eyes shut close immediately before opening a minute later. Lightness flooded her sensed as she crawled out slowly and what her nose was smelt was the sea, her ears caught the sound of the waves and her eyes saw herself abandoned on a boat swaying slowly in the ocean in the middle of absolutely no where.
And yep Gon thought she was dreaming, and the first step to find that out was slapping herself but that didn't work once so she tried it five times before it became red and Gon decided that-
-It stung him like hell.
But that proved and he came to a conclusion that this wasn't some sort of dream nor was he in a parallel universe again because sadly he was still in that female body. At first he was calm like how a twenty-seven year old should be when he comes across these kinds of situations but when he sat on the sturdy boat with his keens up to his chest, he couldn't take it anymore.
He couldn't act like a twenty-seven year old which was either because he was too lost, confused and missed his best friend too much or maybe it was because of his mentality that was slowly turning into a female one which caused him to be overly very sensitive and emotional to these kinds of situations and Gon being Gon preferred neither of them.
Nevertheless, he sat there alone in a boat in the middle of a deserted sea, crying and bawling his eyes out like a seven year old kid.
And after long minutes of crying and shouting out to particularly no one, Gon finally calmed down. He would take things seriously in a more calm and composed manner now that he had finally stopped like a two year old kid.
But in the end a few deep breaths in and out and several minutes of thinking had forced him to do the only thing you could do if you're seven, alone, on a boat in a deserted sea and in need of help.
That is shouting pathetically out to nobody in a middle of the damn derelict ocean.
"HELP!"
"SOMEONE!"
"PLEASE!"
"HELP!"
Yup the only 'pointless' thing a seven year old could do.
The G.I masters knew that Ging was a paranoid guy who used to always push most of the work to the others while taking a good night rest at others wakes. It was inevitable but they all had chosen to follow the old buggur. Even so Razor had apparently spent the most time with Ging as he was the earliest to meet him out of all the G.I members. He had known him for so long, ever since he was in his early teens, even before he had met the wild woman and had Gon.
That was the current hot topic of the room where they all had grouped in and apparently were having a party on the reunion of the long lost comrades. They had all admitted that they thought Ging was going lazier and haywire ever since he had Gon and was capriciously reaching his apparent 'geezer hood''.
Heck, Dwun had even admitted that he cerebrated that Ging had turned gay after the couple had split up.
Still they hadn't seen Ging going this paranoid since he had got the news he was going to a daddy. It had surprised them actually when they saw Ging stepping inside the cabin after running away from the twins complain and running away with the excuse of going to the bathroom which had strangely enough taken him a full good hour but they didn't care about that much.
At the beginning they served him with little attention before involving themselves into their previous topics. It was only then that Razor noticed Ging drinking booze at one corner of the room.
And Razor swore that he actually heard Ging chuckle because never in his life had he heard Ging chuckle. Sure he had heard him laugh sometime back but 'chuckle' was like a foreign word in the case of Ging. In other words it showed when Ging was going to turn amok soon.
They were all speechless for a moment, some thinking they had probably heard something wrong but the sound came again from the man and by the time it came the third time everyone in the room started to have goose-bumps on their skin.
Oh how they regretted not following Ging while he was out with the excuse of 'leaking himself' but he had returned somehow paranoid.
They were all curious as to what had happened to him but somehow no one went near him or questioned him because the malicious laughs which erupted from his mouth was enough to shut them up and send them over the edge.
Yet even so no one could deny that the party's exuberance was already squandered ever since it had come in contact with the mentally challenged Ging Freecs.
They all sweat-dropped, to think they all doubted Ging to be gay.
