an artist dips the brush into his own soul, and paints his own nature into the pictures...
chapter 12
"Why would they be a tour guide to killua house? That's quiet unusually" sinea spoke, confusion lined her voice. As she looked at the bus they were supposed to get on.
"I have no idea, killua's folks most be pretty famous" Leorio shrugged. The group had got to the closer town to the mountain and discovered, a guided tour of the place. Strange. No wonder illumi didn't brother hiding where they lived, it was a tourist attraction.
Before getting onto the bus, the group had got supplies and food. Sinea decided it was a good opportunity to send off some of the artwork from the hunter exam back to her gallery. At the same time taking out resources from her sketch book. While she went looking her a post office to send stuff, the rest of the group then discovered the tour of the zoldyck residence.
Which is where we find the group, sat on an overcrowded bus. With a blonde petite women giving the tour. "Sinea, what's in the bag?" asked Leorio pointing towards the bag in her lap.
"Art supplies I got in town" she responded automatically, watching the scenery pass. Having the stuff already out, mean no unwanted attention to be draw to her.
"Ah right" the man nodded.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please look to your left" the guide spoke. Pointing towards a fog covered mountain in the distance. Sinea watched wide eyed taking in the view. Maybe her next showcase at the gallery would be landscape… she did have a lot of ideas in her book from the exam.
Everyone filed off the bus. Sinea stopped moving, eyes following the structure in Font of them. "Impressive…" Leorio muttered, stepping closer to the gate.
Sinea felt the sensation overcome her, "artist prediction…." She mutter, her sketchbook out hand already moving. Lead scrapping against paper, as the scene began to appear.
She blinked eyes returning to normal, just as a hand pushed her out of the way, she fell to the ground her book flying out of her hands. She blinked again regaining proper composer. "outta the way" the owner of the hands growled.
"That's a bluff isn't it" the pusher's companion growled. The two men, stalked towards the gate. One big, one small both looking like they could do harm as attack the gate keeper. Leorio helped her to her feet, while kurapika picked up her book. "You okay?" Leorio asked.
"Yeah..." her voice drifted, face paling as kurapika stared at the pages.
"Sinea-" the blonde started before a scream cut him off.
Heads whipped towards the gate, in time to watch a fur covered clawed hand like thing, drop two skeletons to the ground. Skeletal that still had familiar clothes draped over white clean bones. She watch with interest as the bones clattered to the floor, having no muscles to kept them standing.
Seeing the skeletal drop to the floor caused a ripple through to crowd. A second went by before the situation at hand seemed to click in everyone's head. "What are you doing? Get onto the bus" several people shouted as the still group. Sinea eyes flickered towards them before choosing to ignore them.
Instead she stepped forward towards the pile of bones, her head tilted. She was intrigued by what sort of creature could do such a thing….
She felt a presence behind her and looked up. Kurapika.
"Sinea?" he spoke.
She stood facing the male. "Yes?"
"Here," he handed her sketchbook back, "though I will question you about that drawing later"
She nodded in understand, she could see the questioning look in his eye. How he seems on guard and earns of the knowledge beyond his reach. She wasn't surprised that he was the one who found out first, she couldn't keep it a secret for long.
Turning back to pile of bones and began to draw.
-Time skip-
Sinea found herself in a little house that zebulo the gate keeper owned. He had suggested the group train to be able to pass the gate of verification, and the group had agreed – sinea remained silent just watching as the group talked.
Strength was her main weakness. She was speedy, accurate and skilled it many areas having been brought up in meteor city but when it came to physical strength such as this… she was worse than the average female. She had trouble carrying the damn pig in the second task for crying out loud…
She sighed, a depressed look covering her features.
"What's up?" asked Leorio
"Strength is not my forte" she mumbled looking down towards her sketch of mike.
"That's why we're training!" smiled Gon.
She gave the young boy a closed eye smile before saying, "then we better head off to bed, it's late and we will need an early start in the morning"
Gon nodded before standing, heading to one of the rooms – Leorio following as he talked to zebulo about medical herds to help with Gon's healing. Leaving just herself and kurapika around the table.
She glanced towards the blonde, "your questions?"
"That drawing, you knew that the pair were going to be eaten by that thing mike, before it happened. How is that possible?" the blonde asked.
She pondered a moment, deciding how she would explain – she couldn't explain it was nen, no that was something he would have to learn for himself and then he could put the dots together. She pushed her hair behind an ear having come on a conclusion. "Along with my artist madness, I have something called artist prediction. It's when both my eyes become grey.." he nodded so she continued, "it's hard to explain, but I predict the future in forms of art Erm, its weird like I'm possessed or something if you get what I mean. Take for example that drawing on the floor of trick tower? That was something from the future correct?"
"Now that you mention it, it happened in the last phase. With killua and his brother" he nodded as the coin dropped.
"That's all I can really say on the matter for now" she concluded, not wanting to give away any more information on the subject.
"For now?" the blond questioned.
"All will come to light in time, eventfully" she spoke softly, leaving the male to his thoughts.
-le mini time skip-
On the 10 day mark, Gon's broken arm was fixed, after two weeks Leorio opened the first door. In 20 days both Gon and kurapika had opened the first door while Leorio had manged to second the seconded. Sinea on the other hand had given up using her natural strength (as it was non-existed) and enforced herself with nen so that she was able to do normal tasks without trouble.
On the plus side, instead of training strength she was sorted training her nen, which was probably better for her anyway.
So she to manage to open the first door, as it all honestly there was no need to open anymore.
All in all the group was ready to adventure into the forest surrounding the zodyck residence in search of killua. They started down the path gon in the lead with a determine look like the older teens walked slowly behind.
Soon enough they came across a girl, she was petite most likely in her teens with dark skin and brown eyes, she stared at them no emotion what so ever across her face. "Leave" the girl ordered. "You are on private property, you're not allowed to be here, leave"
Sinea watched her closely as Gon walked up to her stepping over the makeshift line girl made. Sinea flinched as the young boy was stuck by a Cain. Leorio and kurapika tense at the sudden action, "don't interfere let me fight!" Gon shouted getting back to her feet, "we don't have any intention of fighting against you, and we just wanna to see killua"
Sinea stepping behind Leorio, to avoid watching the scene as again and again gon was stuck back with the Cain. She knew she couldn't stop it and it was his choice, but she couldn't help the madness and angery wanting to take control. Her breaths were coming out shakly, but she could do this she could hold it in for her friends.
Her hands trembled at every hit. Leorio looked over his shoulder as he felt the girl cluck at his suit, he shared a looked with kurapika, "Gon..." he muttered gaining the boys attention.
He pointed towards the bowed head of sinea and gave the boy a pointed look. He nodded.
"you're not like mike" he spoke to canary, "you can do whatever you want to hide your feeling but you still have a heart" he stepped forward his face swelling up, "when I pronounced the name of killua for a fraction of a second, your eyes gave an impression of gentleness"
"Please…" canary spoke quietly, tears threatening to pour, "please save killua-san!"
A shot rang out and canary was sprawled out on the floor, heads snapped towards the sound of a voice, "what could this employee have told you?"
A women stepped into view, face was covered in bandages and she wore clothes in an Victoria style with an electronic band across her eyes. Following close behind her was a small child in a kimono, though it's hard to determine whether the child was a boy or a girl. "First killua goes missing now this?!" the women mumbled before returning her attention to the group.
"You are Gon aren't you? I heard about you from illumi. We told killua what you being in the domain about three weeks ago. I'm going to repeat to you word by word what killua requested me to tell you. 'It's a real pleasure for me that you came, but right now I can't meet you sorry"
The group ignored the women rambling and turning towards the figure, the males crutching besides her while sinea sketched a step away. Sparing only a moment to glance at the women before sketching again.
"She's just fainted" confirmed Leorio.
"That's good" commented helping Leorio
"Why can't we see killua?"
"He's implored that isolated upon himself. Consequently when will he decide to go..." there was a beeping sound from the electronic band, "but?! Father why are you disturbing me?!"
It seems someone was talking to the women, "no! You shouldn't untie him!"
"I'm not letting my baby go again!" the women yelled before turning away from the group and heading back into the woods. Sinea watched as the women and the small child glaring at them before following. It's a boy, sinea concluded before turning back to the other female.
Canary stirred before sitting up, "I'm going to lead you to the butlers residence" she spoke weakly, "there's a phone directly linked to the main residence"
"That's great!" Gon yelled jumping up into the air, "we can go and see killua now!"
Sinea followed behind drawing images of the women who she guessed was his women and the child, the pair had similar aura to killua, "Ne Ne sinea" Gon spoke.
"Hmm?" she looked up, spotting Gons swollen eye, her breath hitched at the sight. The small boy rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, "Gomen, I didn't mean to worry you"
"Its fine Gon, just try, try not to put yourself in those situations. Promise me Gon" she gave him a closed eye smile. He nodded so she rubbed his gravity defined hair.
"Where here" the female butler spoke gesturing to the building behind her.
"Welcome" an older butler who she later learned the name of Gotoh spoke. Sinea zooned out opting not to sit on the couch instead study the paintings on the wall. Moving into her own little world while the others talked to Gotoh.
"Why don't we play a game to pass time?" the man asked.
-Another Mini Time Skip-
"Killua!" Gon yelling brought her out of her thoughts.
Sinea smiled spotting the sliver haired boy step into the room.
"Gon!" the younger male yelled, "and Leorio, kurapika too!"
Leorio sweet dropped at the comment, "and? We extras"
"At least you were mentioned" pouted sinea still standing by the largest painting of a battlefield.
The whole room jumped at the sound of her voice, well… All the butlers present. "Sorry, sinea. I didn't notice you their"
She nodded, "understandable, glad to see you're okay"
He smirked, before turning to Gon, "let's go before by mother changes her mind"
Sinea paused before turning to Gotoh who now stood beside her, "you know, if you ever want the original let me know"
The man gave her a confused look, "I'm afraid I don't understand. this is the original"
Sinea cocked her head, a smirk playing at her lips, "is that so..." she lifted, taking a card out of her book passing it to the male butler. "Gyo, bottom corner" she pointed before turning.
As she disappeared into the forest gotoh turned back to the painting of the battlefield, instantly using Gyo to the bottom corner the blue haired girl had indicated. His eyes narrowed as the writing glowed, something was signed in nen. Sinea, the insane artist.
He looked down at the card before chuckling, "I must inform the masters..."
Outside sinea fell in step besides the older males while gon and killua chatted in font, "you okay?"
"I'm better" she smiled, the grin spreading across her face.
After making it safely to the town, the group chosen to spilt up. With the meet on the date of 1st of September in Yorknew city.
Sinea waved good bye to the older males, as kurapika was going for a job while Leorio was going to train to become a doctor. The blue haired women waited besides Gon and killua who were discussing something in depths.
"Ne ne~ sinea?" Gon asked, she looked up. "What are you doing now?"
The blue haired girl cocked her head in though what was she doing now...
"Well I'm still on my sabbatical, so I'm still looking for inspiration on new projects, though I need to fine a new way of earning while on my journey"
"Great!" Gon yelled jumping up and down.
She frowned slightly not catching on.
"Looks like you're coming with us to heaven area" smirked killua filling in the blanks.
