8 Chapter Eight: The storm

[AUTHOR'S POV]

" a storm is coming." gon said, keeping his eyes up on the sky that was bright just a few moments ago. The captain who was taking a sip from his drink stopped on his tracks to stare at the said young boy, shock and surprise were both on his face, then he asked. "how can you tell, boy?" gon simply pointed up at the sky, more precisely at the seagulls and said "that's what the seagulls are saying." "what..?" The old man just stared in awe. "plus... " gon begun to speak but stopped and pinched his small nose slightly before sniffing the air. He jumped up and went into the mainmast. He closed his eyes and sniffed the air again, but he was focused more this time.

Athanasia was just standing down with the captain, her eyes observing Gon's every more, as she kept her usual emotionless face on. Gon frowned then yelled from above saying that a huge storm was coming. The captain kept silent but his eyes were saying that he was pretty surprised seeing such a young boy like Gon.

[ATHY'S POV]

I grinned to myself when I noticed the  satisfying expression of this old man. ' yes, that's right. All hail my awesome brother! That's MY brother I tell you!!'

Just as gon had predicted, a storm did actually come, and like he said, it was a pretty huge one. It was raining heavily, I wouldn't even be surprised if lightning struck the ship. The latter was shaking heavily; but luckily for me, thanks to fath- uhem I mean Sil-chan's strict training I can manage to keep myself on my feet. ' pfft! Oh my- look at all these rats going down one by one! Hold it in, me! You can't just burst out laughing now! Think about your image! My husband might be here!!'  I scold myself mentally.

[AUTHOR'S POV]

The Captain was already having a hard time when one of his staff entered with a worried face ready to announce bad news "Captain! The mast won't last much longer! We should lower the sails" the old man turned his head a little to stare at him "don't be stupid! The real fun us just about to begin!" The old man smirked after speaking then he added "let's fly!" he kept the ship going forward hitting every wave that came towards them, eventually facing the biggest and most dangerous of them all but he did not back down.

After a short while, things started calling down little by little.

[ATHY'S POV]

' ugh, disgusting! They just won't stop throwing up!! Seriously!' I look around to find that almost everyone has fainted. ' pfft- they went down like eggs when you throw them to the floor- they look so dead, too bad they're not actually dead. Ugh I can't stand this disgusting sight anymore!' My eyes lit up as I saw the Captain open the door and observe us. "pathetic." he said. ' yeah, pathetic indeed.' I thought.

I glanced to the side and saw Gon giving medical herbs to some gross rat- I mean man.  'oh my god.. You're too pure and too nice, my cutie pie!' "if you chew them, you'll feel a little better." he informed the rat, with a bright smile on his cute face. I could tell that the White-head old man was observing my Gon as well. The latter went to get water for the rat when I heard the old man talk to himself. "that boy.. " I chuckled "amazing, right?" I ask suddenly, causing him to flinch a little then look at me and ask" you.. You're okay as well?" I nodded and said "I'm his sister after all." I pointed at gon proudly. "I see." he answered and smiled at me before he turned his gaze noticing The kurta who was reading his book calmly. ' that's my husband for ya. Oh my god oh meh hoshkhddvdd! Do I look okay?! Am I blushing!? Are my clothes good!? Oh gosh!! Would it be weird if I just go and propose to him!? What if he says no! Oh no no no! What if I kidnap him? Nah. Can I go and say hello? I want to hug him too! His hair looks so soft I want to touch it!' I kept fangirling inside my head, somehow keeping an emotionless face. My only wish is that there is no one who is reading my mind right now.

The captain once again, turned his head following the munching sounds until his eyes land on Leorio who was perfectly fine too, he had such a funny look on his face "this is one sour apple!" I barely managed to hold my laughter in.

The white-head old man cleared his throat, making all of the attention on him. Then he told the four of us to follow him.

' it's finally starting. Ging, just you wait. I'll find and beat the crap out of you until Gon can't recognize you anymore! Even You wouldn't recognize yourself when you look at the mirror!!'
