Gon is captured and Killua has to rescue him! But with a sudden turn of events, maybe Killua is the one who needs to be saved...

Killua stared up at the sealing of the hotel and wondered when Gon would get back. Knowing him, he probably decided to help someone and was hurrying back now, but that didn't stop Killua from becoming worried. After all, he was Gon's best friend. Just thinking of Gon made Killua smile. Those big, brown, honest eyes and spiky black hair was as precious to him as his own life.

Suddenly, a knock came on the door. Before Killua could even get up, the doors flew open and Gon tumbled in along with countless numbers of brown boxes. Killua leapt to his feet.

"What in the world? Gon, what is this!" he shouted.

Gon looked up at him from his splayed position on the ground.

"Killua, meet Minoru. Minoru, meet Killua!" said Gon enthusiastically. Killua looked away from the giggling Gon and up at the thin pale man standing in the doorway. He had long, dull black hair that nearly reached his waste. Seemingly hiding in the shadows, the man shrank in big baggy clothes that only emphasized his thin waste. On his back was a large pack of brown boxes just like the ones all over the ground. Minoru that stepped forward slightly, and Killua almost gasped as he caught a glimpse of his eyes.

They were Gon's. His eyes were Gon's eyes. They were perhaps a darker shade of brown, however, they looked the same. They opened brightly in the same honest way Gon's did. they shone with the same tint of trust that Gon's did. Killua was shocked. However, he seemed to recognise something about the lean features of this man that kept Killua on edge. Smiling, Killua looked from Gon to the man.

"Hi, I'm Killua! Gon, what one earth are all these boxes for?"

"Their Minoru's job!" Gon enthusiastically replied. Then, looking over at Minoru, he said, "Come on in!"

Minoru took a few steps forward, hesitantly, as if he were intruding on private property and he didn't want to be caught.

"Thanks Gon!" he said happily. He than began picking up the brown boxes all over the ground. Gon got up quickly, brushing himself off, and began to help him.

Killua noted Minoru's smooth voice. He recognised it, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it reminded him of. Hurrying over to help Gon and Minoru, he also began to pick up the brown boxes strewn across the floor.

The boxes were about the size of somebodies fist, but they were smooth with a small lip on the top so that somebody could pry open the lid.

"So, what are these things anyway?" Killua asked for the fourth time. He held one up in his hand, blue eyes considering.

"Their gifts for children who don't have anything." said Minoru. His voice was silk.

Killua's curiosity grew.

"Don't open them!" siad Gon. Killua switched his piercing glance over to him. Gon only smiled. "You'll ruin the surprise."

Peeling his gaze from Gon and the brown boxes, Killua looked at Minoru.

"So how did you guys meet?" he asked. Gon looked at Minoru and they both smiled. Killua cringed slightly. Minoru's smile was sort of creepy.

"Well..." started Gon, and he told the story.

Gon was walking down the street when he saw Minoru giving small, hungry maybe even homeless children some brown boxes to take home. Gon saw that they were full of candy and toys and other such treats. Suddenly, a group of three burly guys approached him, saying that he shouldn't mess with scum like those children. They even claimed that he owed them money, when it was obvious Minoru had never seen them before. Anyway, they were about to beat up Minoru when Gon stepped in. Anyway the entire adventure ended in Minoru and Gon running down the streets of the city frantically being chased by the three men who where covered in a whole bunch of junk. Finally they were free of their pursuers (who had by then been covered in filth and were sitting in a stinking alleyway.)

...

"And that's how Minoru and I became friends!" stated Gon. Minoru flinched, then smiled, staring at Gon.

Killua smiled too, and a tug of jealously bit at his heart. So, Gon had made another friend.

"Hey Gon, could you help me for a second. I think I left some other boxes downstairs." Minoru said, smiling.

"Sure!" said Gon. Killua smiled too. Gon was always so eager to help others. As the two of them descended the hotel stairs and out of site, Killua plopped down once more onto the sofa. He just couldn't quite place his finger on it, but something was bothering him. After several minutes had gone by, and Gon and Minoru hadn't come back up, Killua knew something was wrong. It was than that realization hit him like a hammer blow. He shot up from the sofa and raced down the stairs of the hotel. Bursting out of the doors, he looked around frantically. There was no site of the Gon nor Minoru.

Killua began running. What had been nagging him all this time was Minoru's voice. He knew it all to well, and he cursed himself for not recognising it sooner.

It was the smooth voice of a killer.
