CHAPTER 1 - THE MEETING
"Hey, Franklin!" Shalnark call his big friend.
"What is it, Shalnark?"
Shalnark approach Franklin and lower his voice "Do you know where Shizuku right now? She has been gone for two weeks since Pakunoda died"
Franklin stare his friend "Why do you want to know, Shal?"
"Nothing . I mean . The Chain User still out there ."
"She's not a little girl, Shal. And remember she's one of The Spider. No need to worry"
"Why do you care so much about Shizuku anyway?" suddenly Machi's head show up behind Franklin's back.
"That's HE'S job, not you" Machi pointed Franklin. "Do you have a crush on her, Shal?" Machi grinned.
"Me?" Shalnark blushed. "She's my friend, why I can't ask where she is"
"She said that she wanted to meet her family" Franklin said.
"Family?" Shalnark and Machi startled.
"Shizuku told me she has an older sister and a twin brother" Franklin continues, "Her mother died when she was twelve. She runaway because she's feels guilty"
"Why?" Machi asked.
"Her mother died when she tried to protect Shizuku from her father. He wanted to kill Shizuku"
"WHAT?? A father wants to kill his own daughter?" Machi screams. All Ryodan members stare at her.
"Who wants to kill who?" Phinx asked. The others now stand near Franklin, Shalnark and Machi.
"Shizuku's father wanted to kill her when she was twelve," Shalnark tells them.
"Poor Shizuku" Kurotopi said.
"So ." Machi glare at Franklin, her hands on her hip. "Did Shizuku tell you why?"
"Yes" Franklin gaze his friends, "She said because her family can't have twin, they'll bring bad luck for the family. If they are, they will kill the baby with less power or the one with power that has not awakened yet".
"And her twin brother is more powerful than her so they had to kill her?" Nobunaga asked. Franklin nodded.
"But why she's still alive until twelve years old?" Feitan turn.
"Because of her twin brother. He started to cry when they try to kill Shizuku. That's why she's still alive until seven. Her twin needs her and she needs him. They depend on each other. But her father doesn't like it and he tried to kill her"
"Poor Shizuku" Kurotopi said once again.
"After her mother died, she went from home and she's end up with us," Franklin said with sadness in his voice. All of them stay silence for a moment.
"It's funny you know". They stare Franklin with question in their eyes.
"Shizuku always forget everything, right?" His friends nodded.
"But she remember her childhood very clear, like it's happen not so long ago" a smile appear in his face. "Maybe because it's the happiest moment for her, with her family, the people who loves her"
"One day she told me that our leader looks like her twin brother and sometime Pakunoda and Machi act like her sister. That's way she remain with us"
"Now that Dancho and Paku gone, she leave us?" Feitan start to angry.
"Relax Feitan. She said that she would come back soon. She just want to know how her family right now"
"But it had been two weeks!" Machi raise her voice.
"Maybe The Chain User catch her" Shalnark and Phinx said in unison.
"I doubt it" Franklin shakes his head.
Nobunaga grinned "Or . maybe she forget where the headquarter is".
Shalnark moves his legs.
"Where are you going, Shal?" ask Machi.
"Find some air"
"I think you want to find Shizuku" Machi teased. Her grin becomes wider when Shalnark blushed.
"Good idea, Shal!" Franklin gets up. "I'll come with you"
~~~~~
"Can we go back now?" ask Feitan. "We've been search Shizuku for three days and there's no sign of her. I'm tired".
"Me too" Nobunaga said and Phinx agree with him.
"Nobody said you has to follow us" Machi glare at them.
"Yeah, you can stay in the headquarter with the other" Shalnark added.
Franklin just sighs. He walks in to dark alley and he's stop in front of it. He's friends still argue but they followed him.
"What is it, Franklin?"
~~~~~
"Common' Kurapika!" Killua and Gon begged the blonde "Please buy us some candies, please"
"I've already buy you ice cream" Kurapika wave his hand and walk into dark alley. "To many candies not good for your teeth, you know" Killua and Gon pout.
"Kurapika, that's not the way to the hotel" Senritsu said.
"It's a shortcut".
"I don't like in here" Gon said "It's creepy"
"You're right. Even in the daylight, this alley still dark" Killua added.
"There's six people in the end of the alley," Senritsu said.
"Maybe they just like us" Kurapika still walk.
"I don't know, Kurapika. I've heard their heart beat somewhere before"
"Of course you did" Kurapika stop walking. Six members of Geneiryodan stood before them.
"Well . well . what we have here" Nobunaga takes out his samurai. "The Chain User and friends"
"Spiders" Kurapika hissed.
Nobunaga look at Gon and Killua "Have you decided to join us yet?" Both of them stuck their tongue.
"Little rascals!!" Nobunaga mad.
Kurapika's chain starts to move in front of them. The six spiders move back. Both side ready to attack. Suddenly a bright light appears between them. The light was dazzling so they have to cover their eyes.
"Help ."
The ten of them open their eyes. Their eyes widen in shock. A small girl stands between them. Her eyes filled with tears.
Gon kneels in front of her. "Why do you cry little girl?"
"They hurt my mommy" her blue eyes look at Gon.
"Who's hurt her?" ask Franklin. The biggest man in Geneiryodan kneels beside Gon.
"Please help her .." The little girl cried.
"Please . you have to help my mommy," the girl begged to Gon and Franklin. Her right hand held Gon's hand and the other held Franklin's.
"We will," Gon and Franklin said in unison.
She smiles "Really?"
Both of them nodded. "Gon .what are you doing?" Kurapika hissed. The blonde and Killua stay in their place. They still watch the Spiders with cautious.
"What the hell are you doing, Franklin?" Feitan approach his big friend.
"You must follow the lights to save her" a staff appears in the girl's hand. It was pink and had a silver crystal in the top. She moved the pink staff and the crystal starts to glow. Like before, the lights so dazzling. All of them shut their eyes. They cried when the ground beneath them disappears and they begin to fall.
~~~~~
"Hey!! Get your big feet from my mouth!!" Nobunaga shout.
"Ouch!!" Gon cried. "Who's bitten my hands?"
"Get off from my body!!" Machi scream.
"Franklin, please take your hand from my neck" Shalnark asked, "I can't breathe"
"That's not my hands, Shal" Franklin said, "The spiky rascal sits in my hands. Common you little boy . get up"
"I can't" Gon said, "Someone is in top of me too. Who are you? Gosh, you're heavy". The person in top of Gon gets up and glares at him. When the boy saw the person, he screamed.
Everybody cover his or her ears. "Oh, my god Gon. My ears hurt" Senritsu cried.
"Why do you have to shout out loud? People gonna think you see ghost in the middle of the day" Kurapika said.
"He did" a woman voice.
"I know that voice," Phinx said. His voice trembled.
"Pakunoda" Senritsu covers her mouth. Her eyes widen in shocked.
All of them get up and stunned. Pakunoda and Ubogin stand in front of them. "Nobunaga, my friend!!" Ubogin cried. He hugs the samurai but Nobunaga doesn't respond.
"Are we dead yet?" Killua asked. "Is this hell?" The ex-assassin looked at Pakunoda and Ubogin "You've already kill them right, Kurapika?"
"Yes"
"I can't believe it!!" Machi cried, "We're dead!!"
"And we killed by a little girl" Feitan hissed. "The Spider killed by a little girl"
"I don't think we're dead," Senritsu said. "I still can hear your heartbeat, all of you. Even Pakunoda and Ubogin".
"But why they're here?" Killua asked.
"Someone sent us here" Pakunoda answered.
"A little girl want us to help her parent," said Ubogin.
"A little girl?" the ten asked in unison.
"Is the girl's hair has an awkward style?" asked Gon "Like some kind of cone in hear head and she has pink hair?" Ubogin nodded.
"We've met her before" Franklin said, "She said someone hurt her mother. She asked us to help her"
"Does she has a pink staff with a silver crystal on the top?" asked Pakunoda.
"Yes"
"Someone is coming here" Senritsu looked at the bush behind Pakunoda "She comes from there"
"Let's hide" Shalnark said.
"Why?" Phinx and Killua asked.
"Because we don't know who's coming and we don't know where we are, we have to be careful" Kurapika answered their question. And they all hide.
They wait for a moment and look at the bush that Senritsu had pointed. A little girl comes out from it. She has short black hair and wears a purple dress. She's look like about six years old. Two cats follow her, black and white. The cats had a yellow crescent in their head.
"Oh, my god" Killua whispered. Gon look at his best friend "What is it, Killua?"
"She looks like my sister Karuto" Killua.
"Are you sure she's not your sister?"
"Of course. My sister older than her."
"Luna, Artemis come here," the girl said to the cats. "I think . I lost my ball in there. Please help me find it," She pointed to the bushes where Killua and Gon hide. The black cat runs to the bushes.
"Shit!" Killua cursed when the black cat saw them. It looks at them and run back to girl.
"Who's there?" asked the little girl. Killua and Gon look at each other before they come out from the bushes. The two cats stand in front of her, try to protect her from them.
She doesn't look shocked. She just glare at them with her big purple eyes "What are you doing in my garden?" The two didn't answer; they just stare at the girl.
'This girl is weird. She doesn't afraid of stranger like us' Killua thought.
"Didn't your mother teach you that it's rude to stare?" the little girl looks annoyed.
"I don't have mother," Gon said. She looked at Gon, her eyes softened "Poor you . I have two"
"How come you have two mothers?" Killua asked.
"Both of you have not answer my question. Answer my question first and I'll answer yours"
"I'm sorry. We don't mean to enter your garden without permission. We kind of lost" Gon said.
"Lost? How come?"
"Hey!!" now Killua annoyed "We answer your question, now it's your turn"
"I have two mothers that's all I know" the little girl smirk.
Killua really annoyed. "That's not answer"
"Calm down, Killua. She's just a little girl" Gon patted his friend's shoulder.
"But Gon she's really annoying"
Hotaru smiled. "So your name is Killua" She pointed the silver haired boy "And you are Gon"
"I'm Gon Freecs and this is my best friend Killua Zoldick"
"I'm Hotaru Tomoe" the girl bends.
Gon and Killua look at each other. "Please forgive Killua rudeness. Is this your ball?" Gon's hand holds a purple ball.
"My ball!! You found it!!" Hotaru screamed with joy, she moved closer to Gon. The spiky haired hunter gives her the ball.
"Thank you" Hotaru bends. Gon and Killua smile to see Hotaru's reaction.
"So . you really didn't know how come you have two mothers?" Killua asked once again. Hotaru shake her head.
"What about yours?" Hotaru asked Gon. Before Gon answer the question, a man voice heard.
"Hotaru!!"
"That's my father" Hotaru said and screamed "Over here, Papa!!"
A young man appears from the bushes where Hotaru had come. He wears a black shirt and faded jeans. Gon and Killua shocked when they saw his face.
It's Kuroro Ruciful.
