Self thoughts CHAPTER 3: UNEXPECTED SURPRISE
" We're here!" Gon exclaimed, his smile nearly reaching his ears.
"The library?! What do you expect us to do, sit down and be bookworms until our butts get tired?!" screamed Killua, looking really mad.
" Aw c'mon you jerk, reading IS fun. And relaxing too." Leorio said.
"Shut up!!!"
" We just want to have a little research." Kurapica said.
" A research?!" said Killua and Leorio in unison.
" Yes a research. It won't be long."
Killua and Leorio faced each other.
" Okay." They said. "How 'bout it Hisooka?Yuka?"
The two nodded.
As they entered the library, everybody felt an aura, not just an ordinary aura, it was a strong, familiar aura. Every body faced at each other and had the same questions in mind. That is: "Did you feel that?" But instead of speaking, they just remained quiet ,because they weren't sure.
"Oh! Look my favorite book!!! I read this several times when I was studying as a doctor!" Leorio exclaimed in a whisper, trying not to disturb anyone. Yuka silently picked a book and sat on a chair, quickly reading it.
" Princesses of the Past?" read Killua from the front cover of Yuka's book." That's a Horror book, right?"
" Yes. These are my favorites. Wanna read?" Killua nodded as he sat next to Yuka. " I'm fond of reading those kind of books." he said as he held the other side of the book.
Hisooka was on a corner, reading the book ANONYMOUS by an unknown author.
Meanwhile, at Gon's part, he escorted Kurapica to the entrance of the restricted section in the library.
" Um...here we are. But...we shouldn't really be here Kurapica! This is the restricted section!"
"Don't panic now Gon. We are near to the answer."
"Wha-? But, are you sure the piece of paper that I gave you said RESTRICTED?"
" I'm not so sure. It just turned out that I could understand the letters for an unknown reason."
" Hmm..."
"Well, this is it." Kurapica turned the knob, hoping it was LOCKED. But to his surprise, it wasn't. Shocked, they entered the room and found that it was glowing. The main light came from a book that was hand made, pages nearly torn (note: still readable though -_-), and bonded with a string. Without having second thoughts, the two approached the book and held it with one hand. A lock appeared in the middle of the book, bearing Japanese letters. The key in Kurapica's pocket glowed too, signifying that the book was the answer.
"This is it!" Shouted Kurapica "The answer! It is the book!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Killua stood and stopped from reading.
"Where are you going Killua? We're just in chapter 1!" asked Yuka, placing the book down.
" Nature calls." Saying this, he started walking.
" Okay. Just catch up with the next chapter!" Killua raised his hand slightly, signifying his "YES".
Leorio visited rooms in the library such as the special room for hunters, for VIP's, for the public readers etc. As he was walking, he passed by the comfort room, and there he saw Killua.
"I thought you were reading a book with Miss Yuka over there?" he asked.
" What else would be the reason if you see me here?"
"Oh, right...Hey wait! Have you seen the two?"
" Kurapica and Gon? Nope. They've been lost since we settled in the table."
"Wanna find them?"
Killua nodded. " 'Bout you?"
"Ya."
Suddenly, they heard 2 familiar voices scream.
"Gon!"
"Kurapica! What could they be doing now?!"
Killua and Leorio ran towards the direction of the voice. Catching their breaths, they found themselves in front of the RESTRICTED section.
" Restricted?"
" Hey, no time for that! Let's go inside! They might be in big trouble!" When they rushed inside, they saw Kurapica and Gon inside a big energy ball.
"Killua! Leorio!"
" Hey! What in the world is happening?"
"No time to explain! Help us to get out of here!" Killua rushed towards the side of the ball with Leorio. Attempting to pull them out, he reached out his hand for them to grab on. Instead, he was absorbed inside the ball with Kurapica and Gon.
"What happened?!" asked Leorio.
"I-I don't know. It seems like someone pulled me in!"
"Oh...Let me try!" Trying the same thing, Leorio reached out his hand for them to hold. But the same thing happened. He was also sucked inside the ball with the others.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
" Miss Yuka, have you seen them? They're out for so long, specially Gon and Kurapica." asked Hisooka.
"What I know is Killua went to the comfort room, Leorio is roaming around and Kurapica and Gon...Um...I don't know."
" Maybe they're goofing around again. Those four are close friends but do you call them CLOSE if they always fight?"
Yuka giggled.
" Let's look for them then." she said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Damn! I can't move a muscle in this place! This ball has too many persons
in it!" complained Leorio.
" Look who's speaking? Hey! For your info Mr. Know-it-all, your the biggest one here!" Killua protested.
" How dare you speak with me with disrespect! I'm older than you kid!"
" Shut up, both of you. Don't worry; I'll explain what's happening later. For the meantime, Gon, here it is. Watch closely..." Kurapica, with his full force, managed to move his hand that held the key. He unlocked the barrier/lock of the book, and opened it slowly. Seconds after Kurapica opened the book, a sharp, blinding light emitted from the book that wrapped each one of them. Kurapica was pulled in the book first, then Gon, Killua, and lastly Leorio.
The book also disappeared in sight, but even so, the aura was left behind.

Meanwhile, in another time and place, four men where walking on a road that were surrounded by middle classed monsters.
" Hey look. Two humans and two monsters." Said one monster that was holding a club of thorns rested on his shoulder.
"Looks like a fast meal." said another. One of the men stared at the two monsters that spoke.
" Let me warn you two." he said, looking confident in his words. "You won't last a minute." The two monsters flushed in anger at the man's words.
"Why you-!"
"You will pay for what you said! You're nothing but human!"
The man just smiled. The two monsters charged him, swinging their fists and bats heavily. The man just stood there, without cuts or bruises.
" What slowpokes!" he mocked. Without another word, he charged them, and with one blow, the two fell hard on their rears.
" Hey Yusuke. Don't waste your time with just a bunch of big, worthless things." said another man, a bit smaller than him. " Finish the off now. Or do you want me to do it?"
"Nah. Leave this to me so I can have a LITTLE warm up, Hiei." said Yusuke
"Hn."
" But hurry up Yusuke, I promised okaasan I'll be back-" the man who spoke was cut off in his sentence when he heard voices from above, screaming.
" What's the matter Kurama?" asked another man.
"Don't you hear it?" Kurama said.
" Hear what?" asked the man again.
" Voices Kuwabara." Yusuke said.
Suddenly, Kurapica fell down from the sky, holding the book and the key on his hand. Kurama quickly responded and catched Kurapica in his arms.
"Whoops! Got ya." he said.
Then, Gon and Killua where the next ones who fell down from the sky. Yusuke catched Gon while...umm...Killua landed on Hiei's back. (-_-;)
Finally, Leorio fell down, but unfortunately, nobody catched him. He just landed hard on the floor before Kuwabara.
" Four kids and a...a...man?" Yusuke wondered.
"Tell me miss-" Kurama said
" Excuse me, I AM a Guy." Kurapica protested.
" Oh sorry. By the way, I am Kurama. What are you doing here?"
" I don't know. We were just sucked inside the book and ...here it is! The book. By the way, Ms. Kurama-"
" Correction, MISter."
"Oh, sorry. I thought you're a woman. You look like one."
" You too."
" Hey look! What a coincidence! We found another man who actually looks like a woman. Right Kurama?" Yusuke said.
" Shut up."
The monsters looked at them with angry faces.
"HEY COWARDS! WHERE NOT YET THROUGH!"
" So are we!" Yusuke shouted back. "Kuwabara! Take care of them will ya!"
"Got it!" Kuwabara said. The monsters jumped at him, intending to crush him like a bug. But to their dismay, he quickly vanished. He was up in the sky, preparing his spirit shotgun.
" Ready or not, here it comes! SPIRIT SHOTGUN!"
Balls or meteor –like blue green energy blasts scattered around, killing the monsters one-by-one. Then, seconds later, he landed on the ground, filled with dead monsters.
" What cheap stakes. I wish I fought with them by the hand." he said, cracking his knuckles. " That was not fun."
Suddenly, the biggest one arose, ready for his sneak attack.
" Yusuke!!! Behind you!!!" Yusuke turned around, not ready for the attack. Killua quickly responded in the act. He stood and his nails are growing long again, and the monster was immediately cut into pieces.
" Be alert!" Killua shouted.
" Th-thanks kid. Hey, wait! I AM ALERT! You don't need to say that!"
" Okay fine. By the way, mister, I liked your style a while ago. The SPIRIT SHOTGUN. It was totally cool! Amazing!"
" Really? Yours too."
"By the way, we would like to introduce ourselves. I'm Killua Zoalyedeck."
" And I'm Gon Freecs."
" I'm Kurapica."
" Everybody calls me Leorio."
" Hi guys." Yusuke said. " I am Yusuke Urameshi."
" I'm Kazuma Kuwabara."
" I'm Suuichi Minamino. But all my friends call me Kurama. And one more thing, I am a MAN."
" Hn."
" Hey Hiei! Oh, by the way, that's Hiei. Sorry for his attitude. He really is grumpy, specially with new people around." Kurama said.
"Hn."
" By the way, how come you're here?"
" And great entrance from the sky. Specially you Killua." Kuwabara said as he looked mischievously at Hiei.
" Well...its a long story."
