Chapter 5 - Tag

I try to maintain my poker face as I walk off the stage and into the dressing room. I feel a presence making its way towards me, It's hard to notice but I can feel it with my constant En. For a kid to make his presence barely noticeable until he touches my nen, even with my basic mastery into my unique hatsu, scary stuff.

Activitaing zetsu, I disappear from the dressing room.

*Doom*

The door swings open, only to reveal a shocked Killua!

"..He was just here, where did he go?"

As Killua is shocked, I'm back in my suit drinking lemonade while in a floating lotus position.

My hatsu ability diverges from the dragon ball universe. Specifically, the last power up made by the main character. With it, I can react to any hostile action without thought, whether its attacking or defending. The only issue is stamina and low concentration of nen\ki. Due to the specifics of the ability, my ki is my nen. Meaning I can only do this for as long as I have ki. However in the dragon ball universe, you can fight without ki or a minimal amount of it as well. Training my body and increasing my physical stamina will increase my ki, just like in the dragon ball universe. So eventually, I should be able to maintain this state forever.

Floating down from the lotus position, I take off my shirt and look in the mirror. In it, I see a young 5 year old boy with defined abs and an athletic build. I probably look like a younger Goten or Trunks from the anime, or gt goku.

In my room I wait patiently while doing some slow movements around the room.

Soon, sweat starts pouring down...

______________

Its been approximately 2 hours before I feel something else moving into my en very quickly. With its direction, should be safe to assume its 'him' again. Sigh

[Now, how should I handle this?]

I still have my zetsu on, I use it in conjunction to train but you still won't be able to feel my presence. I'm thinking he tried asking about information about me but found out he couldn't find anything because that information is private. Using his skills, he can easily bypass the security on the 160th floor and find my name and suit.

hehe too bad I bought a suit per floor. All on opposite sides of each other, so the two hours it took to find me, makes sense. Waiting patiently, I hear a knock on the door. Is he checking if someone is inside? I guess he wants to make sure he isn't disrespectful to me but he's older? I'll just ask if I remember to.

"It's open" I say.

creeek*

The door slowly opens revealing a white haired boy with blue cat eyes. Seeing him in person, he is a lot cooler than the show. "What can I do for you?" I say.

"oh! hi haha, I just saw that you were even younger than me and wanted to meet you."

"Well nice to meet you, I'm Kurt"

"Yo, I'm Killua. So I wanted to ask, how'd you beat that guy earlier? I see him punch through your afterimage and then all of a sudden you drop kicked his head."

[Is that all he saw?]

"I was just faster. Does that answer your question?"

"Hmm I guess it does...but you did it effortlessly. How fast can you go?" a small smirks appears in Killua's face as he looks at me. Suddenly, Killua lunges in my direction and tries to touch my shoulder. Is this supposed to be a test?

FWoosh*

"You want orange juice, lemonade or something else?" I ask the shocked Killua. He looks at me opening the fridge while he is still standing in an awkward position.

"How!?" he says with his mouth agape.

"Simple. I was faster." I show a bright child like smile at him as I say this. However this might of not been a good idea as I see some light fade from his eyes as he says, "You are fast. Want to play a game?"

"What game?" I say feigning ignorance.

"Let's play tag! If I win, you show me how you got so fast"

"and if I win?"

Some more light fades from Killua's eyes as he replies, "I won't let you".

"Well that's not much in my favor and you're just forcing this on me too. But you know what, I'll play. If I win, you'll do one thing for me. No matter what it is. Deal?"

Killua contemplates for a second before firmly nodding.

"I'll give you till the midnight, which is around 4 hours from now. All you have to do is tap me anywhere and you w-"

Killua looked disinterested until he once again lunges at me. Appearing on top of the bed, "Not even letting me finish huh. So impatient."

He lunges at me again only to miss miserably.

"Good luck~" I say disappearing from the room.

(Killua's POV)

[What! Where did he go?! His presence was already faint, but now its completely disappeared.]

[He shouldn't be in here anymore...]

Leaving the room, I look for any trace of Kurt. He is either a monstrous genius or an old man in disguise. He definitely doesn't talk like a kid, in fact it feels more like I'm in front of my dad.

A shiver goes down my spine.

-2 hours later-

"Maybe I shouldn't of suggested this game" I said out loud, drenched in sweat on top of a building in the city.

[This little game looks bleak. I don't know if I'll win at this rate. Should I just go home? I can't! Dad said not to come back until floor 200, but it's getting a lot harder to beat those guys.]

"I still have some time so let's head back for now", I said making my way back to Kurt's room.

...

My mouth opens wide as I see Kurt coming out of the shower wrapped in towels.
