River and Forest? Which One?

Me: MUAHAAAAAHAAAA

Killua, Gon and Horuka: (sweat drop)

Me: So, are you guys up for the next chap?

Killua, Gon and Horuka: (nod)

Me: Why you guys so silent?

Killua: (holds up chalk board) *if we talk, he'll kill us*

Me: (blink) who?

Gon: (points to weird guy)

Weird guy: hello~

Me: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! DIE YOU STUPID MONSTER! (whacks creepy guy with board)

Killua and Horuka: (starts kicking weird guy)

Gon: (sweat drop) ummm…. Plz R&R. Lookalike-chan doesn't own hunterxhunter. No flaming.

Horuka's POV

The three of us were inside a room, eating some dessert and waiting for 3 o'clock. I sighed. "NYAAAAA!" I screeched. Killua and Gon covered their ears.

"Warn us before you do that." Killua sighed.

I rolled my eyes. "I can't help it. It just… comes."

Killua glared at me. "Doesn't mean you can't warn us."

Gon was happily nibbling on a chocolate banana. "Well, I think this is the best piece of chocolate I've eaten so far. Do you guys have any more chocolate bananas by any chance?" he faced us.

I groaned. "That's the seventh time you've asked Gon."

"Seriously, the answer will be the same. No!" Killua scolded.

Gon whined. "I want some more."

The three of us were sitting on Gon's bed snacking on some candy as I muddled with a cube that required Nen.

"Gon! How do you solve this stupid puzzle?" I growled.

Gon had a look at the Nen cube I was playing with. The rules of the game are that you have to send your Nen to the cube and switch its panels to create a colour pattern. I've never been good at things like this.

The boy took hold of it and sent his Nen into it. He began twisting and turning the thing but he just made it even more difficult.

I sweat dropped. "Okay, forget that." I threw the cube on a cushion. I glanced at Killua who was currently examining the size of a chocolate coated strawberry to a chocolate strawberry.

"Does anyone have a ruler?" He moaned.

Gon and I giggled.

He glared at us. "What's so funny? I'm trying to determine the size of these strawberries you idiots!"

That did it, we laughed so heavily that we barely breathed.

"My chest is getting tight." Gon said between giggles. Killua sweat dropped. "Did I say something funny?"

I began to calm down. "Sorry. It's just that, a smart word (meaning determine) and idiot don't go in the same sentence. It sounds really weird." I giggled.

Killua tried reciting several sentences with all the intelligent words he knew, with idiot. "They don't sound weird."

Gon kept chuckling like an idiot (see what I did there) as I explained to Killua.

At the end of my lecture, the idiot (again!) still didn't get what I meant.

"This is boring. Change the conversation." He muttered.

I did exactly that. "Um, guys, what time is it?"

Gon was still laughing so he was pretty much useless. "Ch-check the c-clock!" He giggled.

"It's probably 2:55 or something." Killua glanced at the clock.

"Oh, it's only 3:05." He sighed.

There was a dead silence. "3:05!"

We quickly grabbed our stuff and hurried down to the river where the boat would be leaving.

"I knew I shouldn't have given you that lecture." I huffed, while running.

"I never wanted it!" Killua replied.

When we reached the docks, the boat was leaving. Gon quickly jumped onto the boat side by side with Killua, when I was about to jump, well….

"Help me!" I screamed.

"Wait!" the last I saw was Killua leapt off the boat and grabbed me and pulled me close.

The two of us sank into the water. The rest was blank.

Killua's POV

I clutched tight to Horuka and swam to the surface. Gon unleashed a fishing line and it hooked to my skirt. I clutched even more tightly to the girl that it dug into her skin. Gon reeled us back to the ship and helped us up. I coughed and Gon gave Horuka and I a towel.

"Thanks Gon." I smiled.

The boy just giggled. "Where's the boat going anyway?" he asked.

There were some tough looking men onboard, and if they were anything like the Phantom Troupe, we might have a problem on our hands. Some of them glared at us which made the two of us uncomfortable. Horuka sneezed a bit.

The girl lay innocently on my lap. She looked like an actual doll. A life sized doll, laying in my lap.

I brushed a lock of hair out of her eye and smiled.

Gon was checking the place out and told me to join him when Horuka woke up.

'It's not good to leave a sleeping girl alone you know, Killua.' That's what he said to me.

I sighed. I could be looking at rivers, weird rocks and fish right now, but I have to watch her.

I groaned as she began to snore softly.

She's not going to wake up any time soon. I thought.

I thought I might as well eat some lunch if I'm going to wait. Eating all those snacks didn't help one bit.

I opened up my bag and attempted to find something good. All I found was chocolate…..

Works for me!

I nibbled on a ball of chocolate and Horuka tossed and turned. "Can't this girl sleep peacefully?" I rolled my eyes.

She sneezed again. I giggled. "I wish everything would just stop." I sighed.

She smiled. I swear I saw her smile. "Me too…"

"You're awake!" I shouted. I didn't see that coming.

She 'shhh'ed me. She placed her arms around my waist. "Of course I was."

I blushed ferociously and kicked her off me. "Um… you shouldn't do that." I blushed.

Horuka chuckled. "Okay. Sorry. Go join Gon."

I glanced at the girl. "Are you sure?"

She scoffed. "I know how to look after myself you know." She smiled softly at me. That's a side of Horuka I haven't seen before. "I'll come back."

I stood up and strolled off to the captain's room. Gon had to be there. He liked finding out how to sail different ships. I knocked and entered.

"Come on in boy!" The captain chuckled.

Gon was laughing with the captain. Something funny must've happened.

The captain pulled out a stool for me and I sat down. "So? What's going on?" I hesitated.

The big man just chuckled. "Gon and I over here are just talking about Ging." The man laughed.

He was big like a panda (yikes) and had a big frizzy beard and beady eyes. His hands were massive and his shirt surprisingly fit him. He wore a navy cap on his head and bits of white hair were sticking out.

"He knows my dad Killua!" Gon chimed.

I smiled. "So? What's the guy like?"

"A very determined man. Always going after his dreams. I believe he's already out of Greed Island, am I correct?" the captain asked.

Gon and I nodded. "We got nothing out of the game. We just got stronger that's it." I sighed.

The captain nodded while smoking into his pipe thingy. "I wouldn't blame you. Ging doesn't like staying in one place for too long." The captain explained. "That man is always moving around and discovers brand new things." The captain then turned to Gon.

"When your dad was a young man, he would tell me things Gon. And you wanna know what he told me?" the captain grinned.

Gon nodded. The captain leant in and whispered in Gon's ear.

I heard faint whispers, but the moment I saw Gon perk up. I knew the news was something worth while.

"Are you serious?" Gon asked.

The man nodded. "Don't joke about Ging."

Gon looked to the floor to do some thinking. But, not long after wards….

"Hey Gon. Your brain's on fire." I said, monotone.

"Huh?" the boy asked.

The captain began chuckling and smacking his thigh. "I've never seen Ging do that before, and to see it from his son is something truly momentum."

Gon's brain stopped smoking and the two of us turned to face the chuckling man. "Really?" I asked.

The man stopped and he went back to the wheel of the ship. I was wondering who was driving the ship while he was laughing.

"Killua. Where's Horuka?" Gon asked.

I had completely forgotten about her. I smacked my head. "Sorry, Mr Captain." I said, hurrying Gon out the door. "But I left a girl on the deck."

I heard the captain giggle when we left the room. "Go and look after your friend. Killua Zoldyck." The captain giggled.

I had no time to return and ask the captain how he knew me, but I'll ask him eventually.

Horuka was on deck juggling an apple. "What took you guys so long?" she scoffed.

I rolled my eyes. "A chat."

Horuka stood up from her position. "See those mountains, there's fresh water there." Horuka pointed to a large mountain mass in the distance. "That's where I need to be. And," Horuka turned to Gon.

"You might want to be there too Gon." Horuka looked grim.

Gon didn't know what was going on. I was clueless. "What's there Horuka?" I asked.

Horuka quickly turned to avoid eye contact. "In time, I'll tell you guys. But not now." She turned away.

What I knew about this girl, I have a feeling it was all going to change. I thought.

The boat was beginning to slow down and it eventually stopped. We were very near to the mountain now. "It's bigger in person." I joked, smirking.

Gon giggled but Horuka looked around. There were rustic forests everywhere which made Horuka a bit uncomfortable. "Hey. You okay?" I asked.

Gon was very worried as well. She began to hesitate. "I think we should hurry and go around the forest." Horuka began walking.

I looked at the forest. It seemed clear and no monsters would inhabit this forest. Well, dangerous ones that is. I wonder is she was still freaked out by that giant crab.

"But! Horuka-chan! It's faster to go through the forest." Gon cried.

"Trust me, it's better to not go through there and go around." Horuka replied. She was quite distant really.

"It's almost dark. The sun's setting. More ferocious things will come out. If we take the forest, we'll be able to escape and it'll only take a few hours. Going around the forest gives monsters clear view, which takes even longer. Besides, it'll take us til morning." I insisted.

The girls sighed and ran back to us. "Just follow my lead. We might be able to dodge them if we do it correctly." She sighed.

Gon and I smiled.

We trudged through the forest. Why is it so long? Horuka continuously looks around.

"What are you doing?" I yawned.

"SHHH!" she 'shh'ed. "Shut up. They'll hear you."

I flinched at her scold. "Sheesh. Don't have to shout."

Suddenly, there was running. It was faint but Gon picked it up quickly.

Horuka panicked. "They found us!" She grabbed my hand, and I grabbed Gon's. Maybe if I wasn't holding Gon's hand, I would blush ferociously.

The footsteps of the running strangers grew closer. Horuka began to slow down. "We've been caught."

Her head tilted to face the ground.

"Smart girl. Haven't changed one bit." A quite squeaky voice giggled.

"You might be older, but you're so stupid." Another younger voice called.

"Shut up guys. Let us go." Horuka shouted to the two people talking.

Suddenly, out of the shadows stood a rather tall girl. She was 3 feet taller than Horuka and had silky black hair and pretty brown eyes. The other girl was short. One foot shorter than Gon. Her hair was messy and long. Her eyes were dark blue and sharp. The little one wore a short skirt with shorts underneath and a torn loose shirt.

The tall one wore a knee length sundress and leather jacket. A chain crossed her waist and on it hung knives and bullets.

"Horuka? Who are these girls?" Gon asked, getting a bit frightened.

Horuka sighed. I glanced at her. She smiled. "Guys, say hi to my sisters. Beku and Hyuma. Beku, Hyuma, Gon and Killua."

"Yo!"

Me: So, Beku and Hyuma make an appearance.

Horuka: The only reason I agreed to do this story with you is because you promised not to put those three in!

Killua: there were only two?

Gon: Who's the third?

Horuka: Uhhhh… RUN AWAY!

Killua and Gon: GET BACK HERE!

Me: Ummm… Okay. Sorry for the late update. R&R. No flames, kay? To check on updates, go to my page and you'll see updates and upcoming stories. R&R!

Killua and Gon: YOU CAN RUN! BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE!

Horuka: AHHHHH!
