Well, Long time no update guys! Yeah, school had gotten really stressful in the last few months! Also since it's summer now my stupid word had decided to change my scheduel to like five days a week and lots of eight hour shifts! UGH

Now enough ranting from me.

Transfer of Worlds

Chapter 21

Kagero was walking with Zushi back to Wings place. They had spent the elevator ride in silence, but Kagero was actually thinking to herself. She had to think of an excuse to talk to Wing while in reality she was just worried about Zushi. Those creeps from earlier gave them some freaky looks and that brought on her suspicions since they declined their challenge. They would most likely resort to dirty tactics, like stalking children... those pedo's.

She also swore that she saw one out of the corner of her eye after leaving the elevator. The creepy one, well, they're all creepy but the creepy one with the light hair and narrow beady eyes. She didn't like the feeling she was getting.

She continued musing and looking around for any suspicious figures. Though they would definitely be in Zetsu, she wasn't advanced enough to detect someone using it yet.

She was broken out of her track of thought when Zushi was about to turn and take a shortcut through an ally. She grabbed his shoulder, scaring him from the sudden action.

"Hey, Zushi?"

"Yeah, Kagero?"

"We should go another way. You know... through a more populated area." She tried to hint out that something was wrong without alerting the people who were stalking them off.

"We should be fine, I go this way all the time!" He assured her.

"Hrm..." Kagero was unsure, but they wouldn't attack him with a witness... would they? She sighed, "Have it your way then." She pouted, but looked around as they entered the ally way. She was ready to act at any moment.

About half way in, Kagero felt a shiver go down her spine as she felt a presence appear behind them. Their Zetsu must have faltered. She whirred around to see Sadaso using some Nen ability. It looked like a hand, coming from his missing arm. She tried to tackle Zushi to the ground, but the aura was already around him. She stopped mid-motion, she didn't want to get caught in it too.

She growled, bangs shadowing her face, "I knew it." She glared at him, her eyes glowing different colours from the activation of her Nen. She leaked out some killing intent. "If you wanna' fight, I'll give you a fight."

"Oh?" Sadaso laughed creepily, and let Zushi go from his aura arm, though it was too late and Zushi had already passed out.

She caught Zushi before he hit his head against the wall and sat him down against it. "I'll even fight your buddies over there." She tilted her head back and glanced behind her, referring to the two others in hiding. They came out of the shadows, as there was no point in hiding anymore. Kagero hadn't noticed them, but it was worth a guess since they were obviously working together, though she would have looked really stupid if they weren't actually there.

Gido, chuckled. "If you want your friend to be safe, you'll have to fight all three of us."

Kagero huffed, "I've already assumed that, baka." The three of them got an irk mark.

That's when a familiar voice came in. "Forget it."

Sadaso turned around, scared by the sudden new voice.

Killua came out from around of the corner. "I figured you were up to something. But you don't need dirty tricks to make me fight... you." He looked confused when he noticed Kagero leaning against the wall. "Wha-"

"Yo! You're just a wee bit late to the party laddie." She said jokingly. "I've already got this handled, but backup's a nice thing to have, ya know?" She grinned to Killua.

"You're going to fight them?" He assumed by Sadaso's, Gido's and Riehlvelt's satisfied faces.

"Yup!"

Then Sadaso came in saying something that angered Kagero and Killua. "After I get my win off you, I'm going to fight Gon-chan." Kagero shuddered at the suffix he used ever-so-creepily.

"I'll fight you. When do you want to fight?" Sadaso looked unsure, "Don't worry, I'll let you win. In fact, I'll even give you each a win. Is that good enough?" Killua gave them a good deal.

"If you want to fight Gon, you'll have to follow his schedule. He'll be more than happy to fight you." Kagero said.

Killua's eyes narrowed and his aura suddenly got more malicious, threatening them "We can promise you that."

"I'm already fighting you, and Killua's giving you a free win. That should be enough!"

She turned to the three that were behind her. "I'll meet up with you guys at the registration desk. I need to get this guy home." She lifted Zushi onto her back for a piggyback ride.

"Wait," Riehlvelt spoke up. "Let's go register together. Who knows, you might run off with him and not follow through on our agreement."

Kagero sighed, "Fine, but my back's gonna' be sore later." She was hunched over trying to not let Zushi fall off. She started walking, "Well? Come on!"

Killua sweat dropped at her sudden change in attitude.

Now on the two-hundredth floor, the group made their way to the receptionists desk. The lady looked slightly worried for the three kids out of the group, but it was against protocol to interfere with the residents buisness. So the receptionist lady had reluctantly handed the two kids their forms.

"Here, Killua."

"Hm?" He turned around to see her lean back and let Zushi start falling towards him. He panicked at her sudden action and caught Zushi before he hit the ground.

"You can carry him now."

"Eh, but I want to sign up first."

"Nope, I was there first, and made the deal first, so I get to go first." She grinned at him. He just sighed at her.

It was Killua's turn and he signed up. He looked to Kagero's paper and noticed something different. "Why'd you sign up for May twenty-eighth? We're supposed to be fighting on their last day for the deadline."

"Well, I wanted to fight before you. Anyways," She turned around to the devious trio, "You guys happy now?"

"Yeah."

Killua picked up Zushi from the couch he placed him on. "Oh, just remember that this is just a onetime deal. If you break your promise... Eh... Whatever. Forget it."

"What? You got me curious." Riehlvelt spoke, Killua stopped to look to behind him. Kagero followed suit.

"What will happen if we break our promise?" Sadaso asked, smirking.

"No point in telling you now. Just keep your word." Killua started walking again.

"Oh, well he would kill you. But probably tourture and maim you before anything. He already went through the threatening stage so... The next time something happens, you are so dead."

"Kagero! Your not supposed to tell them." Killua whisper yelled at her. "Now come on, we have to bring Zushi back."

"Yes, yes."

"Kagero?"

"Hmm?"

"You can go back to your room, I'll bring Zushi back."

"Oh, okay. Thanks Killua!" She smiled while he entered the elevator. After the doors closed, she made way to Gon's room.

Ring, Ring.

Gon turned from looking out the window, who could be calling at this time of night? Picking the phone up, the caller initiated the conversation.

"Hello? Is this Gon-kun?" A raspy voice spoke. "There's a package for you." Opening the door, Gon found a shoe. Zushi's shoe. "I'm sure you'll understand what this means. As long as you don't tell anyone, and you follow my instructions, the four of you will be able to train as usual tomorrow."

Gon's face hardened in worry, he would have to go allong with their demands.

"Aww, come on. Where's Gon gonna be at this time of night?" Kagero sighed. Hearing footsteps, she looked to her side.

"Kagero? What are you doing here?" Gon asked, he opened the door to his room.

"Well, I wanted to make sure that those creeps hadn't blackmailed you or anything." Gon started to look nervous and clam up. "Dont tell me... Are you kidding me?! Oh I'm so gonna maim those guys." She all but growled. "Gon, when are you fighting?"

"T-the thirtieth..."

"Okay, that means I can pummel them before you guys could take them from me." She pounded her fist into her palm.

"Then, is Zushi okay?!"

"Yes, he's fine. Killua is bringing him back to Wing's right now." She informed him. "Now tell me... How did they blackmail you?" Gon showed her the shoe. "This... This is Zushi's shoe... How the hell did they switch his shoes without us seeing?"

"M-Mirage! It's okay if Zushi's fine right? Right?" He tried to cheer her up.

"I guess your right Gon. I'll just have to train, train, train!"

"Un!"

The next morning, Kagero went to a store to get a new wig ordered. It would take weeks for it to be finished, but it was better than nothing. While she was out, she got a few replacement sweaters. She didn't feel right without the hood. She bought a white sweater with no sleeves along with a black one of the same type. She also got a dark blue baggy hoodie with long sleeves.

Walking back to the tower to drop her stuff off, she noticed a store that looked out of place. She just saw someone enter the place, but she couldn't see anyone inside from the windows. Using Gyo, the sign of the store changed into 'Nen Wares'. Curious, she entered the store.

"Hello." A man called, but he looked suprised to see her in the store. "Are you lost kid?"

Kagero huffed at the man, not liking him calling her 'kid'. "No. I know Nen and the store caught my eye."

"Oh really?"

She nodded, "Well, I'm gonna browse around. Okay mister?" The man nodded and she went around the store. She saw magic books and things otherwise made impossible if it wasn't a Nen store. Then something caught her eye.

"Hey, mister?" She waved to the store owner.

"Yes?"

"Do you have any weights?"

"Yes, please follow me."

She blinked at the little bracelets, anklets, and belt on the shelf. "...Are you sure that these are weights? They don't look like weights." She poked at one of the things.

"Yes, those are aura weights. They were made to put resistance on the muscles instead of physical weight. The more aura you put in, the more resistance it adds. It also acts as an aura storage."

"Ooh, cool! How much are they?"

The man blinked, surprised. "You would want to buy these things?"

She nodded, "Yes, why? Are you against it?"

"N-no, it's just that I thought no one would like to buy these old things."

"But they're much more useful than these physical weights." She rolled up a sleeve. "My I test them?" The man nodded.

Taking her weights off her ankles and wrists, she took her sweater off to take her vest off. Moving her arm to pick up the Nen weights, her arm flung out and hit her in the face. She fell down to the floor.

"Oww!" She cringed on the floor and grasped at her face in pain.

The man looked at her incredulously.

"Stupid, change of weight... Stupid arm..." She mumbled as she got back up, a large red mark was visible on her forehead. Sighing, she grabbed one of the bracelets and slipped adjusted it onto her wrist. "So I just put my aura in this?"

"Yes, but it must be from your Ren state, otherwise it won't work."

"Hmm, okay then. Time to test these baby's out!" She grinned and started using her Ren. She guided the flow and put some of her aura into the bracelet.

'Such smooth, beautiful aura.'

Moving her arm, she felt the resistance. "Wow, this is amazing! I can feel it up my whole arm! And it doesn't weigh anything physically, right?"

The store owner chuckled, but nodded in answer to her question.

"So how much is the set?"

"Free of charge."

"What?" She looked at him in disbelief. Surely she heard him wrong.

"I said, free of charge."

"No, nonononononono." She flailed her hands around, "I can't do that to you! How much is it."

"Like I said, it's free of charge. I haven't seen anyone like you in awhile, I would like you to have that."

Kagero pouted, "But I can't just not pay!"

"Then how about I take your old weights?"

"Hmm..." She pondered before breaking out in a grinn, "Deal!"

Exiting the store, she waved. "Thank you Mister!" Then she checked the time, "Aww, I wasted too much time. We're supposed to meed at Wings at eleven. I guess I can't drop my stuff off at the tower." Yes, the tower was on her way to Wing's, but it would take to long to go up to her room and drop her bags off. So she just had to bring her new stuff along with her.

Running through the crowd near the tower, she overheard someone. "These are fresh off the press... Gon versus Sadaso! Also here's Killua and Kagero versus Sadaso!"

Getting closer to the voice, Kagero noticed Killua, he looked angry. Still running, she tried to slow down, but had too much momentum to stop. "Out of the wayyyy!" She yelled.

"Eh?" He turned his head and...

Bam!

She crashed into Killua.

"Ouch... Hee hee... Sorry Killua." She blinked. "Why you looking so murderous for?" Then she realized that he was talking to the man who said 'Gon versus Sadaso'. "Oh..."

His eyes widened and he yelled, "You knew?!"

Kagero didn't know how to handle an angry Killua so she just stood there, flustered. "W-well I just found out last night and-"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"But you were out bringing Zushi back! And... and I looked for you afterwards... but you were already sleeping... I didn't want to wake you because of everything that happened and..." She got more timid throughout her explanation.

Killua frowned, but otherwise calmed down. The onlookers just gaped at the whole situation.

"Killua... Please don't threaten Sadaso."

"Why wouldn't I?"

"Because I want to beat him, I want to teach him a lesson of messing with me and my friends!" She raised her voice in anger. "Then you and Gon would be able to beat him too." She argued. "Now lets go, we're going to be late." She grabbed his wrist and pulled him along.

When they left, the ticket seller and the people just stared in shock.

'T-that was Killua, and Kagero?'

Slamming open the door, she graced Wing's apartment with her presence. "Oh, Wing!" She sang, "Your favorite students are all here now!" Kagero all but yelled. Wing could only sigh in response when her grin was that huge. It didn't help that she was also dragging Killua by the wrist either. He just thought that they were adorable.

"Huh? Killua? Mirage?" Gon looked suprised.

"Gon, you were already here?"

"Un."

"Man, you early bird." She teased.

"Killua-kun, Kagero-chan, I believe you two helped Zushi last night. Thank you." Wing smiled, thankful to them for helping his student.

"Ah." Killua grunted, still pouting somewhat.

"Yeah. Hey are you feeling alright Zushi?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I was probably tired. Sorry to worry you!" He bowed in gratitude.

'If only he knew...' Kagero mused.

"Oh, Wing-san... Can we watch that video again? I've learned how to use Gyo."

"You guys go do that."

"What are you going to do Mirage?"

"Oh, I just got a little somethin' somethin' to adjust." She went to the other side of the room as to not disturb them. Putting on the belt, the anklets and the bracelets, she used Ren. 'Hmm, the belt needs to be heavier, along with the legs.' She tried adding more aura to the belt than to the anklets.

While she was focusing, she overheard Killua analyzing Hisoka's aura.

"His aura is elastic, like rubber. That would explain most of his tricks." Killua finished with a huff of exertion.

"Very good... you pass." Wing praised. "But I'm surprised. I didn't expect you both to learn Gyo overnight."

"Eh? Gon, you stayed up that late? No wonder you look sleepy."

"Eh heh heh heh..." He laughed nervously. "But I still Couldn't figure out Hisoka's power."

"So, Killua-kun. Since you finished your assignment, I assume you want to fight, yes?"

"I want to too!" Kagero jumped up from the floor, hand in the air.

"Actually, Kagero and I have already chosen our day to fight."

"Yeah! May twenty-eighth for me, and Killua is May twenty-ninth!"

"Mine's May thirtieth."

"That's fine. I underestimated how fast you could learn. Spend the remaining days practicing Ten and Ren. Be sure you get plenty of practice, rest, and sleep."

"Osu!" The boys cheered.

After training, the boys were getting ready to leave. "You guys can go ahead, I'll catch up in a bit."

"Eh, okay Mirage."

"Ja." They bid them a good night.

"Wing-san...?" Kagero asked, she needed to know how she should train for her upcoming matches.

"Yes, Kagero?"

"How would you protect yourself from aura that can surround you? Like Sadaso's aura arm?"

Wing was silent in thought for a moment. "You would have to block it with your own aura. Using Ren will protect you from it." 'Though it would have to be timed just right, otherwise she'll burn out...'

"Thanks Wing." She smiled and brought her arms up, stretching. Wing seemed to notice the new additions, or rather the replacements on her wrists.

"Kagero, what are those bracelets?"

"They're Nen resistance weights. I found a Nen shop and got them there. Now I won't be leaving any more dented footprints on your floors." She laughed, Wing sighed in relief.

She spent the rest of the night training for her match.

Walking back to the tower, Gon and Killua were talking. The sun had started setting and the sky was now a golden orange. The perfect weather didn't help raise the heavy atmosphere between them.

"Killua..."

"Hmm?" He looked over to Gon. He looked unnaturally tense, that look didn't suit Gon.

"They mush have threatened you two. Now I'm mad..."Gon tightened his fists, his knuckles going white.

"Yeah," Killua replied nonchalantly, "but my biggest concern was the master, and he agreed."

"But I'm worried that they'll use Zushi again." Gon's eyebrows furrowed in worry.

"It'll be okay." Killua smiled, "You don't need to worry." Killua had a plan. He wouldn't let them get away with what he had done to Gon.

It was the day, the day that Kagero would fight Sadaso and his cronies. She had been preparing the whole time. Training. She just had to wait in the dull waiting room until it was time.

In the other waiting room, Sadaso sat staring at himself in a mirror, talking to himself.

"Today, I'll beat Kagero-chan for my fifth win. Tomorrow, I'll beat Killua-chan for my sixth win, and the next day I'll beat Gon-chan for my seventh win. Then I just need to find three more chumps." He giggled creepily, "And then I'll be a Floor Master. I'll get all the wealth and glory to set me up for the rest of my life."

He stiffened in shock as a vision of himself being stabbed right through his head racked his mind. The knife would have been covered in his blood by now if the person behind him wished it so.

"Move, and I will kill you..." The person behind him was none other than Killua. "Use Nen, and I will kill you." His eyes, they were dark and unforgiving, ready to murder the sick man in front of him. "Make a sound, and I will kill you. If you understand, slowly close your eyes. Do you know what happens if you break your word?" Sadaso was sweating profoundly, the fear of a trained assassin, a Zoldyck, ready to kill him on a moments notice was deathly terrifying. "If you know, slowly open your eyes. Look at me in the mirror, and listen carefully." He did as he was told.

"You will fight Kagero, and let her beat you for what you have done, then never show your filthy face to us again."Killua's smile promised death if he didn't comply.

"That's a promise."

(Omake)

Kagero was walking with Zushi back to Wings place. They had spent the elevator ride in silence, but Kagero was actually thinking to herself. She had to think of an excuse to talk to Wing while in reality she was just worried about Zushi.

She thought of one.

Even though she already knew it... she would ask for... 'the talk'.

(Omake End)

P.S. She didn't actually ask Wing for 'the talk.'

Also I've edited and added Omake's to each of the others chapters! Please check them out!
