*Kikumi's POV*

I opened my eyes to see the pale ceiling of the inn above me.

I heard Gon snoring in his corner of the room and Killua mumbling a little bit.

'Now, I can train.' I thought.

I got up, quietly. My clock read 1:59 in the morning.

I quietly went out the door, pausing at the door to smile at Gon's and Killua's sleeping faces. I quietly walked down the hall, careful not to wake anyone. I ran into the chilly night.

'Brr. Maybe I should have changed clothes.' I thought, looking at my outfit.

I was wearing comfortable white shorts and a orange tank top.

I continued to run until I reached the dog park.

"Let's start training." I said to myself, as I walked into the park.

Inside held some jumping hoops, a balance beam, and a tree poking inside the fence.

I turned into a fox and got myself ready to run the course.

As I was about to begin, I notice a stray dog start to come near me.

"Hello?" I ask, shyly.

"Howdy. What are you doing this early hour?" He replied.

"Umm....I'm......" I stutter.

I'm always weary of new people. He noticed this and smiled.

"I mean no harm, I promise." He told me.

"Excuse me, sir. But, could you time me?" I asked.

"What?" He asked, confused.

"I'm racing the track. Would you time me?" I asked again.

"Oh, sure." He said.
"On your mark...
Get set
Go!"

I sprinted off at the start, jumping through the hoops and racing across the balance beam. I sprinted up the tree and jumped down from the highest branch. I landed onto the fence, running along the cold metal. As soon as I was done, I sprinted to the stray and huffed

"What.....was.....my.........time?"

"One minute, 20 seconds.

"Really? Yes." I said, excited.

The stray smiled at me.

"What's your name?" The stray asked.

"What's yours?" I replied, not trusting him.

He laughed and said

"The name's Zookie."

"My name is Kikumi." I told him, quietly.

"I'd better be leaving. My owner will worry about me." Zookie said to me.

"Oh, ok. Bye." I said with a smile.

I ran back to the inn before Gon and Killua woke up, when I was stopped by a string.

I pulled on it a little and I became free.

'Huh? That was strange.' I thought.

I went on my merry way, back to the hotel.

I turned into my girl self and ran up to my room. When I opened my door, everyone was still sleeping, so I crawled into bed and fell asleep.

*time skip*

The sounds of birds chirping filled my ears as I sat up.

'Today's the day.' I thought.

Killua suddenly woke up, sitting upright.

"Good morning, Killua." I tell Killua.

"Morning." He said back.

Gon was still asleep, so I walked over to him and brushed his head.

"Gon, time to wake up." I did my best Yumi impression.

Gon smiled and sat up slowly.

"Good morning Mrs. Yumi." He said sleepily.

He opened his eyes completely and searched for Mrs. Yumi. When he couldn't find her, he sadly sighed and said

"Good morning, guys."

"Gon! Get up. Today's the day." Killua shouted, making me flinch.

Gon looked at me and smiled.

"Good luck today, Kikumi."

I nodded at him and I walked to the fight.
My fight with my Papa.

I raced down the stairs and to the check in.

The lady at the desk stopped me, saying

"Good luck, little cutie."

I blushed a small blush at the compliment and continued my run to the arena.

I ran and ran, not stopping even when Gon and Killua ran to catch me.

I kept thinking about my Papa and how I could beat him.

'I can't, but I can try' I thought, sadly.

I burst through the door of the arena and asked the sign in lady

"When is my fight?" I asked.

"Name?" She asked back.

"Kikumi Jude." I said.

A lightbulb went of in the lady's head.

"Ah, yes. Yours is in 2 minutes. Your opponent said to only start when you were here." She shivered as she mentioned the opponent.

"Thank you." I said sweetly.

"Kikumi!" I heard Gon yell, making me tense up.

The boys burst through the door, but they probably waited outside for me first.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Go in and win." Gon said, with a smile.

They purchased their tickets and went to go sit down.

I took a deep breath and went into the arena. When I entered, I noticed a guy that has black, unkempt hair, and wears glasses. He is wearing a light pink shirt that is only partially tucked in, along with gray pants, and white shoes.

Sitting next to him is a boy with short brown hair, and big hazel eyes. He wears a karate GI with a red belt.

Then theirs a dog that is familiar to me, sitting next to him.

'Zookie?' I think in my head.

I look away and focus on him. I walk up to the ring and so did he.

The referee noticed the tension and hesitantly said

"Fighters, are you ready?"

"Yes." I said, calmly.

"I'll take my room in advance, please." My Papa said.

"Begin." The referee said, then booked it out of the ring.

My father relaxed his position and leaned against the bar.

I looked at him, angrily, ready to pounce on him.

"Wow, runt. This is the only time I've ever seen you so angry. Not even when I was slapping your face."

My anger started to bubble when he said that.

"You didn't get angry when I played with your sisters either."

"You did what!?!" I shouted, my voice echoed in the arena.

"Yea, It looked like you were too mortified to do anything. Just like when Sergei, my right hand man, had my daughters killed right in front of you."

"You. Killed. My. Sisters. Just. So. You. Could. See. My. Misery!?!? You killed your own daughters just so you could torture me!?!?!?!?!?!" I shouted, louder than I've ever had before.

I was angry. Sergei worked for my twisted Papa. Something inside of me snapped. I was about to run and beat him down when he spoke, stopping me in my tracks.

"Oh, and by the way, your little sister is still alive. That was some random girl that had red hair that I killed. Your sister and your niece are being held in my basement for my personal pleasures."

I charged at him, only seeing red. I grabbed, furiously, onto his leg. I turned into a fox and bit down as hard as I could, drawing blood.

He swore at me and yanked me off, but I jumped off the opposite bar and jumped to his face.

I attacked his face and he screamed in surprise and pain.

I turned into a girl and kicked him in the groin and stomach, knocking the wind out of him.

I was so enraged that I didn't notice the referee call the signal.

I continued to scratch at my papa. I did it until my dress was covered in his disgusting blood. He fell down in pain as my nails dug deeper into the side of his face. I screamed one final thing into his ear

"I AM DONE BEING SCARED!!!!!!! YOU HAVE NO MORE POWER OVER ME!!!!"

I dropped him and blood splattered all over the tiles. I calmly got to my feet and walked of the arena.

When I exited, Gon and Killua were waiting. I looked down as I walked past them. I went to the counter, collected my money, handed it to Gon, and walked out the door. Not looking back once to see if they were following me.
