Hey guys I'm sorry my other story didn't work out, but I have come out with my newest story and it's going great. I already have two chapters done and working on a third! Please R&R! When I get five reviews I will update my next chapter or I'll just update anyway. I love all of you who continued to follow me!
Disclaimer: I do not own Hunter x Hunter.
Sapphire POV-
Back to the daily grind or I guess normal people call it torture. I already had a tolerance to pain but mixed with my teachers training. My teacher, Celestia is a nen master and an assassin. She has been training me for nearly seven years. This year I plan on taking the Hunter Exam!
"PAY ATTENTION! Or I'll make it five minutes in the electrical chair.
"Hai!"
"I'm going to have you start on the Jungle Gym."
We walked to the backyard. The house was mostly underground, but we still had a thick layer of pine trees surrounding the area. To protect from prying eyes.
The Jungle Gym was massive. The first obstacle was giant swinging axes. After those were the chompers as I liked to call them. They were basically large spikes that jab into the floor and you have to dodge the spikes and the holes they make. Next was my least favorite: Devils wall. You could only use your hands to pull yourself up a two story rock wall. And my favorite the trampolines. You had to jump from one to the other without stopping. They're at least 20 feet away from each other or more.
I walked to the starting platform.
"You may begin."
When she gave her word I bolted off. Using my strong legs I ran through the axes with no problems. With the chompers I stilled and listened for the pattern. Once I had found the pattern I ran through unscathed.
I stepped up to the wall. I truly hate these. Getting a good hold I let my legs go limp. Pulling all my body weight while keeping my arms at a ninety degree angle. I was already sweating and I was only half way there. My hands were slippery. When I reached for the next one my left slipped. Keeping silent like I'd been trained to. I wiped my hand on my leg and kept going. Going faster than before as not to slip again.
When I reached the top I jumped down onto the first trampoline. I had grown so accustomed to them that I began to do flips in between tramps. A front tuck, then a half. I bounced off the last one landing a double full on the ground.
"Stop showing off! Since this was your fastest time you can have more time in Hells Abyss."
"Thank you." Yes! When you train to become an assassin you learn to take any and all compliments.
~Later~ (Hells Abyss)
I had just gotten out of the chair. It still hurt but I had gotten used to the pain. Now at Hells Abyss I opened the fire resistant metal door. Scorching heat hit me. Firmly closing the door behind me. Because of this room fire doesn't even phase me.
I walked through the flames carelessly. My clothes caught fire and began to burn away. Damn I still have three minutes left. I was soon left to only my bra and panties. Luckily the flames didn't reach that far. I ended up at the middle of the room.
Getting in a handstand I started walking backwards on my hands. Some people find this impossible. While others can easily obtain this skill with enough practice. I was one of those people. Before I knew it my three minutes was up. Celestia opened the door as I did a front handspring to my feet. Celestia arched an eyebrow at my attire. I just shrugged.
"Celestia?" I asked walking out the door.
"Yes?"
"I was wondering if I could take the Hunter Exam?"
She sighed, "Now why would you go and do that?"
"Just for fun," I smiled innocently.
"I guess so but you have to train everyday. I might get lonely while you're gone."
"Really?! Yes!"
Getting serious she said, "You understand right? If anyone gets in your way don't hesitate," she paused for a dramatic effect, "to kill them."
"Yes I know."
"Good. Now get some rest you leave at midnight." She doesn't sound like she'll miss me.
"Kay." I turned in the direction of my room and followed the hallway. When I reached my room I opened the door and locked it behind me.
The walls were concrete and it made them soundproof. They were adorned with weapons of all sorts, and one home picture. I had left home when I was six. Realizing my urge to kill I left because my family couldn't understand and I didn't want to kill them. My temper ran out of control.
Looking at the picture I saw my mom and dad on either side of me as I held my baby brother just born that year. My parents are probably still looking for me.
I didn't have anything to pack, so I just laid on my bed. I wonder if I'll meet anyone strong? My eyes began to droop and I fell asleep.
Celestia POV-
I watched as Sapphire walked towards her room. Turning in the opposite direction I swiftly went to my room and shut the door. I slid my back down the door. Being alone is normal for me but having her here was nice. I'm going to miss her. Tears welled up in my eyes and spilled over.
"Why would she leave me?" No I can't think like that.
Falling onto the mattress, I attempted to stifle my cries. Of course it only served to make them less audible. I looked at the clock on my table. Eleven o'clock. Almost time for her to leave. Only another hour. I never knew how much her presence affected me. I'm sure she'll be fine.
I calmed down a little and went to my mirror. Dried tears were visible on my cheeks. Washing my face I looked much better. Maybe I should go wake her up. I had given up on being an assassin, or so I thought.
Looking at my self one more time I decided to wake her up. Walking down the hall I went to her room. I knocked. No reply.
"Sapphire?" No reply. Where is she?
Worriedly I ran out of the house. I saw her looking up at the sky. Watching her the whole time as I walked forward. She turned towards me. I could see she had been crying. Seeing her tear stained face made me tear up.
"I'm gonna miss you," she hiccuped.
Pulling her into an embrace I replied, " I know honey. I know." Tears were now falling down both of our faces.
Whipping her eyes as she pulled away she said, "I love you so much. You were..no are like a mother to me."
Sniffling I hugged her one more time before we said our good byes.
"Sapphire."
"Yea?
I paused before saying, "Be Careful."
"I'll be back." She smiled pulling a cloak over her head.
