Chapter one
Hinata: heh I've been meaning to re-publish this on my new account…but, I was lazy, aheh….
Killu-chan: the only reason you have to republish this stuff is because you forgot your email…
Hinata: yes now shut up!
…
(Leorio's pov)
I looked around the crowded market frantically.
Where was he?
As I looked I had recalled the disappearance of my best friend,
He and I had gotten into an argument induced by my drunkenness, and his exhaustion.
He stormed out, I locked the door behind him, and the next day I got a frantic call from his co-worker Senritsu.
…
''Hello?'' I asked groggily into the phone early Saturday morning.
''Leorio! Have you seen Kurapika? He hasn't come into work at all today and his early morning job said he wasn't there either! Did something happen last night? How long has it been since you've seen him? If it's been long enough we could file a missing persons report…'' Senritsu babbled worriedly into the phone.
''What? You mean he didn't come into work this morning?'' I asked still processing the still almost too fast to be perceptible language that spilled from the musician's mouth.
''No! Was he at home last night? Did he leave this morning?'' she asked hopefully.
''Yes he was here last night but no he didn't leave this morning, he left last night after he and I fought. I thought for sure he would go to your place. That's were he normally turns up. Your floor.'' I explained worry starting to creep up in my words.
''No…he wasn't here either. Maybe at Mito's? How are they doing with they're new apartment? Do you know?'' she asked suddenly off topic, but then changed quickly back to worrying about a certain Kuruta. ''But maybe he went there? You think?'' she asked as if I would just laugh and tell her everything would be alright he was sleeping off a rough night at work in the other room
''I don't know, I'll call them on the way to the clinic alright? If they say he's there I'm going to smack him into next week.'' I said drying my hair after I washed my face.
''Don't be too hard on him Leorio…drive safe.'' I heard her quietly add as I was about to hang up.
''Yeah you too…'' I said quickly before shutting the cell phone.
…
That was three days ago.
And he wasn't at Gon's aunt's house.
Or any co-worker.
So, were the hell would he be?
I looked over at Killua and Gon searching for his aura in the crowd with Ing.
They both looked up at me with a sullen look.
''We can't find it any were Leorio…'' Gon said sounding as if tears would stream from his deep brown eyes any second.
''Well it's his fault, he's the one who left and didn't think to put up his guard….''Killua added sharply even though I did hear a little catch in his voice at the end.
He was worried...
We all were.
As I looked around again Killua and Gon gave up. They stopped using Ing, slumping back onto the bench.
''Oh my gosh, look…'' Gon was pointing at a figure dressed in very intricate blue tribal attire with orange decorations dancing about it. The figure had a small frame and short, blonde cropped hair.
My eyes widened.
''Kurapika!'' I screamed running toward him.
The figure turned around fast and hopeful…
But I really shouldn't say 'figure' I should really say 'she'
The young woman's face as I yelled Kurapika's name held a look of absolute happiness and hope.
''Kurapika! I'm going to kill you!'' Killua shouted, launching himself at the blonde before I could stop him.
''Killu—'' I started, reaching out as the girl let out a very high-pitched squeal.
And before I knew it, there they were, sprawled out on the ground, fists flying. And not from a certain Zolyck.
''Get off of me! Who are you? What do you want?'' a deep, definitely female voice, shouted, as she glared up at us. Then took off with the speed of a track runner.
But not fast enough to avoid a small, green flash catching up to her.
She stopped abruptly, skidding to a hault.
I stepped up behind her, placing my hand on her shoulder.
''Don't worry, we're not going to hurt you, we just wanted to ask you a couple of questions.'' That was the last thing out of my mouth before I was flipped over her shoulder and on the ground, gasping for the breath that had been forced out of my lungs.
''As if! That is what they all say!'' she hollered back at me as she prepared to run off again.
But before she could take another step, Killua calmly stepped up behind her, quietly chopping the back of her neck with the side of his right hand, then catching her abdomen with his left.
''Done…'' he said calmly, handing me what looked like an unconscious Kuruta…
I just prayed that we were right…
Hina: well I still feel like I should write a little more than this…but then the story will end too soon… any who~ did you guys like t?
Kura-Chan: of coarse they didn't! I wasn't in there!
Everyone: whoa…..conceded, who'da thunk it….
Gon: please no flames?
Hina: thank you so much for reading and be safe and drive safely everyone!
