So, up to the next chapter of my HXH fanfic. I hope you all enjoyed it so far and I hope you'll keep enjoying it and if not just send a review, I don't bite and it will make the story better (hopefully). Now enough of my babble and on with the show.
"Great, just my luck." I whisper as we are forced on a ship that takes us to an island for a manhunt.
Gon has drawn Hisoka and I am stuck with Tonpa as target, so when we all run for shelter and to create a strategy I am already facing Tonpa.
"You've got something that belongs to me." Tonpa starts and I shrug before he shows me my number on a piece of paper.
"This'll make things easy." I mutter as he heads straight for the attack.
I evade a blow to my stomach and kick him in the balls before I grab his plate and rush off to find the others. I sigh as I pick up my pace and find Karin and Sarah together, both holding out their two plates when I join up with them.
"Hey girls." I say as I walk over with two plates in hand.
We stay together as we search for the guys and the first night we decide to take turns keeping watch.
After five days we still haven't found them and as the sixth day starts we all slowly walk past a cave to find Gon pulling two people away from the cave before he collapses.
"Gon!" I yell before I look him over and find him just fine.
"Let's get them to the starting point and wait for tomorrow to come." I say and the girls nod.
As we each drag one of the guys we meet up with Killua and he motions for us to stop.
"You should rest up." Killua says as Sarah drops Kurapika as soon as she can while Karin and I are more weary of him.
Killua moves to take Gon from my side and lays him down against a tree.
"You seem a lot more energetic." Killua says as he looks at me while Sarah keeps a close eye on Kurapika and Karin seems concerned about something while she looks at the plates Gon is holding.
"Yeah, I guess I just slept well for once." I mutter as I look at the three males.
"Do you think Hisoka will manage to pass this test?" Karin then asks with a hopeful look in her eyes.
"I think he'll manage just fine, he's pretty persistent." I say without a second thought.
"Why are you asking anyway? He's not really..." Sarah starts but she stops as I motion for her to stop talking.
"Why are you so worried about him? I mean he IS kind of... unique I guess, but he knows how to play his cards." I say and Karin seems to lighten up.
"You're right, he has shown it before so it's easy for him. Right." Karin says before she runs off to find Hisoka.
"She's not the brightest of the bunch, is she?" Killua asks and I shake my head.
"Just one little test near him and anyone would freak out, we were the first to find the exit and I had to keep myself from running through any door once his face twisted. I'm lucky more people came out when they did, because he really gives me the creeps." I say and Sarah joins us.
"Say, not to pry or anything, but what's with you and Kurapika?" I ask Sarah and she lets her shoulders slump.
"Remember when we met them? His eyes seemed familiar somehow and after that I started having nightmares." Sarah pauses and I slowly nod.
"Sorry, it must be hard to talk about." I say and she nods while Killua remains silent as though he senses the comfort and trust Sarah seems to have in me.
"No, it's about time I told someone. I have been having them a lot even before the exam, but he seems to make them more persistent recently. I find myself sitting in an alley behind some trash cans in those nightmares and every time I try to call out to someone, but his name escapes my lips in silence every single time. The houses are engulfed in flames while people laugh as they hold a glass can filled with red eyes. The people come closer to me and pass right by me saying that none could have escaped anyway and that they'll be rich thanks to the eyes of the clan." Sarah says as tears travel down her cheeks.
Killua looks away from us.
"I'll go for a stroll." Killua says before he leaves us alone for a bit.
"Listen, I will be there for you if you need me at all." I say and Sarah smiles at me.
"Lisa?" Gon mutters before he opens an eye and I simply look over my shoulder to find him rubbing his eyes.
"Hiya Gon." I smile as he shoots up straight and runs over to hug me.
"Where are we?" Gon whispers and I shrug.
"Edge of the forest, Killua should be back soon. Karin, Sarah and I brought you guys here and ran into him, so we decided to set up camp here." I explain as Kurapika starts to grunt a complaint while Sarah hurries to look away from Kurapika.
"Where are we!?" Leorio yells as he too wakes up and I smile softly as I can hear the leafs rustling to announce the arrival of someone.
I shrug of the bad vibe I get, thinking it might be Killua instead and yet I find myself lifted up from my collar.
"Let her go." I hear an ominous voice say soft enough for me to hear and and not loud enough for Gon and the others to hear.
Without a warning the guy collapses and I rush away from him and turn around to find Killua with blood on his hand. My eyes widen in shock and slight fear as I shake my head in denial.
