Chapter 12 - Reflections ... and Himiki?
Kurapika went outside a few minutes ago, he was slightly worried about Gon and Kaori and wants to look for them because of it. In his opinion, they were gone long enough.
'They can't be far ... the blonde kurta sighs. 'I should think ...' he puts a hand on his chin. 'Where would Gon go with a good friend? ... .. 'he ponders until he puts aside the thought to move on.
...
The blond man slowly walks past a meadow of flowers. He smiles slightly. 'My intuition tells me ... they are here.'
But as he walks on, he sees a person lying on the ground from afar: Gon!
"Gon!" He matured and ran to his friend.
The twelve year old boy's body moves very slowly ... and weakly. "Kura… .pika? … .What? "He shrugs.
The blonde kurta looked around in horror to see if there was still an enemy nearby, but no one was there. ... but he noticed something else immediately.
"Where's Kaori?" He asks restlessly.
"… Kaori… .." Gon started. "... she ... she is ..." he tried to get up and held Kurapika's arm as tightly as he could.
"…" Kurapika listens carefully.
"I ... have to ... I have to ... save her ..." that was the last thing he could say before he passed out.
"Gon!" Kurapika was startled.
He took the younger boy on his back to carry him. So that they could both go back to Leorio quickly ... to treat Gon!
~ In front of the dojo ... ~
Leorio was already waiting impatiently for Kurapika, accompanied by Gon and Kaori. The blonde kurta said to Leorio that he wanted to fetch them since they had been gone quite a long time.
The big man was walking back and forth several times. 'Where are they ... ..' he sighs.
Suddenly he heard footsteps, he turned quickly and saw two men who were strange to him. The two had red hair, the older one they were only lighter. It was Komei and Kazu!
Leorio jumped back slightly. "Hey ... don't scare me like that!" He complains slightly.
Kazu frowns. "Be careful what you say. We are stronger than we look. "He says with a playful voice.
Komei smiling apologetically. "Sorry. We have never seen you before. Is there a reason why you are standing in front of the Tatsu Dojo? Are you waiting for someone? "He asked politely.
"Oh ... um. Do you know a boy named Gon? "He asks.
"Oh ... the boy who trains with Tanju?" Kazu asks. "Yes."
"So you're one of Gon's friends, then?" Komei looks at him carefully.
"Yes…." Leorio smiles friendly. "My name is Leorio." He held out his hand, which he shook with Komei.
"My name is Komei ... and this is my brother Kazu." He grins at both of them.
"By the way ... where is Gon?" Kazu asks. "Did he go for a walk?"
"Yes ... I am just waiting for you to return ..."
...
Before either of the three could continue, another voice rang out from a distance.
"Leorio!" A familiar voice called.
All three turned around. Leorio waves happily. "Kurapika! Finally, where were you ...? "Then he saw Gon ... injured. "…What? What happened? "He asks, shocked.
"Is ... that Gon?" Komei asks, but quickly turns to Kurapika. "We'd better treat him quickly ..."
"Do you have bandages somewhere?" Leorio asks hastily.
"In the dojo. Let's go to Tanju and Shiro ... I know they're still there! "Kazu says.
"OK!"
...
The group quickly ran into the dojo….
While they were still on the way, Kurapika hastily explains what happened ... but what exactly happened, only Gon will be able to say ...
"There! Just straight ahead, there is Tanju-san's room! "Komei points his finger in one direction. "And there we take care of Gon ..."
"Yes ..." Kurapika mumbles. He looks at Leorio. "What do you think?"
He smiles reassuringly. "Don't worry, I can treat him. He will never again be as badly injured as he was then ... "
"Understand…."
…
~ An hour later… ~
...
...
Gon slowly opened his eyes to realize that he was no longer out in the meadow. He tries to think about what happened before he passed out. Then he remembered.
"Kaori!" He got into a sitting position.
"Gon!" Two voices called.
The spiky-haired boy turned and saw two worried people: Leorio and Kurapika!
But behind the two, he noticed even more people, all of whom he met in the Tatsu Dojo: Shiro, Kazu, Komei and his master Tanju!
...
But an important person was missing….
Kaori….
Gon's face sinks. He couldn't do anything, his opponent was surprisingly strong ... or wasn't he ready yet?
"Are you okay?" Leorio asks. "How are your injuries?" He pointed to the bandages that the spiky-haired boy was now wearing.
"... .. I'm fine." He whispers. "Thank you… .Leorio. You treated me, didn't you? "
"Uh ... well ..." he scratches his head, embarrassed. "Shiro helped me ..."
"Oh ..." he nods to the older brown-haired man. "Thanks."
Shiro nodded back, but there was a serious look on his face. "Where's Kaori? Can you tell us what happened? "He asks.
The spiky-haired boy stared at the floor. "Kaori ... she ..." he thinks of her sad face, the last thing he saw. "She was taken by a man ... I'm not sure either ... but ..." he looks at everyone. "It has something to do with her family ..."
"Her family?" Kurapika frowns. "I don't understand ... .. what kind of person is she?" He looks at Gon. "Has she been fooling you all the time and hiding her real face? Was she just being so friendly? "He asks, slightly restless.
"No." Gon says firmly. "Your real face was with me the whole time! Just…. "He thinks about how to explain it. "As Kaori himself says ... the chains that hold her captive steal her freedom." He says sadly.
Leorio put his hand on his chin. "And what does that mean exactly? Is her family in that weird mood? "
Gon ponders. "At the end she told me her last name ... let me think about it ... um ..."
"Do you remember it, or have you already forgotten?" Kazu asks annoyed.
"You have to try Gon ..." Tanju says calmly. "Maybe it's important." Then he took a sip of his cup of tea.
The twelve year old boy smiles slightly. "Ah! I remember again!"
"And?" Komei asks curiously.
"Himiki!" Gon says. "Her last name is Himiki!"
...
There was a very brief silence, but it was quickly broken by a cough, and everyone looked at the source of the noise. Tanju had just choked on his tea.
"Sensei?" Shiro pats him lightly on the back.
"Tanju-san?" Gon looks at the man.
...
Everyone looked curiously at Tanju. "Himiki? Do I understand that correctly, Gon? "
"Yes." He said simply.
"Do you know the name?" Kurapika asks.
He nods slightly. "You could say that ... but ..." he looks at Gon. "Do you remember when I told you how Kaori reminded me of an old friend?"
"Yes….."
"My friend at the time ... .. with whom I experienced so much as a child ... as a teenager ... .. his last name was also Himiki ..."
Kazu shrugs. "It can only be a coincidence."
"No." Tanju shakes her head firmly. "I do not believe that."
Leorio crosses his arms. "Now you better have a lot to tell us, because we don't understand what you're referring to."
...
Tanju nods. "Yes you are right. But I have to go back and forth ... you better make yourself comfortable. "
...
Tanju would like to tell Gon and the others something about his past ... about an important friend who should have a big job ... but has a different goal ... but ... what does this have to do with Kaori?
What will Tanju tell that should be so important?
What is the name Himiki all about?
To be continued ...
