II. The Gathering"SCARED, Killua?" asked a low voice.
"Who's that?!" Gon gasped. Kurapika and Killua looked around and readied their selves.
"Yo guys, it's me!" a creature suddenly came out of the shadows and revealed its self.
"Franken…I mean, Leorio?"
"LEORIO?!"
"…"
"Hullo! Welcome my friends!! At last, I'm rich!— and I owe that to you, guys! If it wasn't because of your sincere concern to me, your beloved friend, to your ever strong determination to blah, blah, blah….loooooonnnggg speech…ahuhuuuu" Franken, I mean, Leorio got a box of tissue then, and blew his nose.
The 3 almost fell asleep and they awakened when they heard Leorio suddenly exclaim…
" …By the way, I already found out who my ancestors are!!"
"Really?! So, who are they?" asked Gon excitedly.
"The Adams family?" guessed Killua.
"(sweatdrop) Uh, I know this house looks a little grotesque, but NO!" [A/N: But I think Leorio Adam sounds good . ]
"The apes?" hypothesized Kurapika in a concluding voice, while remembering Darwin's Theory of Evolution.
"Heh!"
"Then who?!" the 3 chorused.
"…" the guy, with glasses and possessing some 'monkey features', just smirked and gave no reply.
"Leorio!"
"Secret…heheh. You'll find out later."
"Could you give us some clues—or tell your last name at least, please?" pleaded Gon in the most convincing child-like way.
"Just a moment." Leorio got something from his pocket and then…
"Lumos!" he shouted, as he waved his… wand (?)
One by one, all the lights in the house turned on.
Gon, Killua and Kurapika's eyes widened in amazement. They couldn't believe what they had just seen.
"HOW…ON…EARTH…DID YOU DO THAT?!!" all 3 of them chorused.
"You see, I have a wizard blood. Ok fine! My surname is……….…Potter. I'm LEORIO POTTER." he proudly replied with an air of superiority over them.
A gust of wind passed, then there was silence.
After a few seconds…
"WOW!" exclaimed Gon.
"REALLY?!!" asked the jaw-dropped Kurapika.
Killua felt incapable of distinguishing reality from fantasy then, and started slapping himself.
"Nah, just kidding. But I wish I was." sighed Leorio.
"Liar!!" howled Gon.
"Dream on, moron." muttered Kurapika.
"Good!" exclaimed Killua.
"What?!!" veins throbbed faster and faster on Leorio's temple as he controlled his temper.
((Ding- DONG!!... DONG!!... DONG!!)) 3x
The hour- hand of an old grandpa's clock at a corner strike 12 and the clock started to clamor. The sound reverberated all over the house.
"Oh, it's already midnight! You should start searching for the capsules now. They contain clues where the Triple X Hunter Card is. Whoever finds it first, will certainly get it first." instructed Leorio. "This is… in exchange for helping me find this house— ahuhuhu…"
"Gee, so emotional!" (Killua)
"sweatdrop…I shall find it in the name of the Kuruta clan!" (Kurapika)
"I have to have it! I need to see my dear father!" (Gon)
"Are all ready?" asked Leorio.
"Yes!" replied the 3, fervently.
"Ok, so let's begin! On the count of three…one…two…THREE, GO!!"
