OK…that sounds wrong…

It’s nearly time…

Twenty years has passed since Gon took the Hunter Exam. And now, he was a proud father of one. He caressed the cheek of the twelve-year old sleeping form. Although night had fallen hours ago, he stayed up, and let his thoughts wander with the wispy clouds.

Father…it’s time to meet him. Even if I failed to meet you face to face, he will carry on my determination, and he will eventually find you…

With one more hopeful look at his son, he left the room.

Morning rose, the sun was partly hidden behind the horizon, and the sky still tinged with a light orange tint. The light was so warm that Gon could not help but sleep even deeper. He had practically stayed up the whole night. What more would he want, but a long and comfortable sleep?

“Dad! Wake up!”

“Mmph…” Gon’s eyelids were still heavy with slumber and he was unwilling to wake up. “Five more minutes…”

“No! Dad, I’m excited! You don’t want to disappoint your son after all these years of your adventure-story-telling!”

True…Gon opened his eyes and saw a juvenile boy grinning widely at him. He has adopted his dark hazel eyes, and much of his younger appearance, much like a replica. They were most similar in their buoyancy and their close bonds with nature. When the boy touched his father’s fishing rod for the first time, he mastered his fishing skills within moments.

Gon suddenly jumped out from his bed and cried out cheerily to his son, “then what are you waiting for? Hurry, Gen, and pack your things up, then I’ll race you to the port!”

He had wanted to make his son’s departing as happy and memorable as possible. Although his past was not as pleasant, he wanted to make life easier and enjoyable for his son. While Gen dashed to his room, he headed towards the kitchen to wait.

“He’s just like you; bright, naïve and stubborn,” Mito-san teased him. His old aunt no longer has the fiery red hair and the young features on her. Instead, her head was close to white, and had acquired more wrinkles since the time he last counted, which was…since he was twelve. His grand-aunt, unfortunately, was not there to see her great-grand nephew. She had passed away not long after Gon and Killua fought the chimera ants.

Few minutes passed before Gen finally appeared in the kitchen, with Gon’s old backpack, his fishing rod, wearing a green shirt topped with a dark blue vest, and matching green shorts and brown boots. He hugged his grand-aunt, and received a kiss on the forehead, then, walked to the front yard with Gon.

“Ready? Set…Go!”

Father and son raced towards the finish line. They ran through grass fields, the town square, and many townspeople who considered them silly and mad. Although Gon had deliberately taken a few moments to lag so his son could catch up, he was first to reach the ship to Dole. He sighed and looked up at the familiar ship. There was someone waving up there, an old chubby man with a smoking pipe protruding out from his mouth. Ahh! The captain! Gon waved back.

“Who are you waving to?” his son was puffing softly by his side.

“Oh…someone you’re going to meet soon,” Gon smiled at him.

“Eh? Who is it? Who is it?!”

“Gen…” he bent down on his knees so that he was eye-leveled with his son. “Sometimes, it’s not that easy to ascertain things. You will have to discover them either by yourself, or with company. I’m sure you’ll meet some friends along the way.”

“Of course I can do it! I’m gonna make you proud of me!”

Gon smiled at his son. He was the only child, yet the best, he thought.

“Well…your ship’s leaving. Don’t want to miss your chance, do you?”

“No way!” Gen hugged his father then hurried off towards the ship. While running along the wooden platform, he waved at Gon, “Dad! I’ll promise that I will find Ging! And I promise that I will definitely make you proud! I’ll be back as hunter. Just you wait Dad!!!”

Gon felt tears begin to prickle his eyes, but he could not cry at such a happy moment. He stood there, waving to his son until the tiny, black speck disappeared in the horizon. Before he headed back home, he stood a little longer to savour the cool morning breeze.

Gen, I’m already proud of you…

Does the name Gen sound weird? I think its weird, but it matches with Ging and Gon lol you know…similar names passed down the generations ^^

Hmm according to my calculations, Gon had Gen at the age of 20…is that too young? O.O

Plus during the story I won’t be mentioning much of their wives because…well…they’re pretty much minor characters. (No offense hxh ladies!)

Hope you had enjoyed :D
