I do not own Hunter x Hunter. Enjoy.

Chapter 12

I felt a shift and something comfortable on my back to open my eyes. My eyes became blinded once I saw light shinning on my eyes. The light was then blocked for pretty blue eyes to connect with mine.

"Killua..." I whispered to slowly stand up.

"Are you okay? You didn't sleep for so long. Its still a little dark out," Killua informed.

I nodded my head to suddenly have this bad feeling. I felt an almost murderous presence. I quickly stand up jumping from what looks like a bed to exit the room.

"Oi, Hana!" Killua shouted.

I looked around to see that I was in much smaller building to continue feeling murderous aura. No further hesitation, I ran towards that presence.

"Hana!" Killua shouted from behind me.

I just keep hearing feet hitting the floor making an echo. Then, I walk to a door hearing clamping from the inside, and familiar voice that brought me slamming the door open. I saw 5 people in a butler's attire, Leorio, Kurapika, and Gon siting on a chair. They were all staring at me as I only stared...

"Gon!" I shouted.

I ran around the couch to hug Gon tightly.

"Gon!" I shouted again happily. I released to look over his face saying, "What in the world happen to you? Your face is full of bruises."

Gon laughed to rub back of his neck replying, "I guess you can say, I was having quite eventful day."

I looked at him calmly to sigh having one hand rub my hair and the other on my hip.

"You probably did something stupid again," I spoke for Gon to laugh.

"Hana!"

We all heard yelling at the door to turn seeing Killua.

"Killua!" Gon shouted happy.

"Oh! You're here, Gon!" Killua spoke happily seeing Gon. "Along with..."

I couldn't help but chuckle as Killua forgot about Kurapika and Leorio...for a minute.

"Kurapika!" Killua says remembering.

"I'm just an afterthought?" Kurapika says angrily.

"Liorio!"

This time I laughed instead of chuckling for Leorio's face to get angry.

"Leorio!" He corrected.

"It's been a while," Killua says to Gon, "I can't believe you came. What happened? Your face is a wreck!"

Gon and Killua starts laughing at each other faces as I looked around to see everyone smiling. I felt a warm feeling to turn seeing a butler with glasses smiling at Killua warmly. Almost like... a parent feeling. I smiled knowingly for the butler to stare meet my eyes. I was shocked to quickly look away from the butler, but still feel his eyes on me.

"Hey, Gotoh," Killua spoke up angrily at the glasses butler, "I told you to let me know as soon as they arrived. What were you doing"

He bowed down replying, "Forgive me. I had them participate in a little game."

"A game?" Killua questions looking at Gon.

Gon smiled at Killua for Gotoh to explain, "It was nothing more than a poor joke. I apologize for any aggravation. Did you enjoy yourselves?"

"That was really good acting..." Leorio commented relief.

"What? Did they try something?" Killua asked Gon worried and confused.

"No, they were entertaining us," Gon explained.

"Sounds like you guys had fun when I was gone," I spoke up for Leorio, Gon, and Kurapika to flinch.

"Tell the truth, we had no idea how big of help you really are," Leorio commented having my eyes widen.

"All we can think about was helping you and Killua," Kurapika continued.

Gon smiled finishing, "Don't leave our side again, okay. We missed you more than you know."

"Hmm," I replied to have a smile, "Well, I can't promise that I would stay for you guys forever."

"Anyway," Killua spoke up for us to turn to him, "let's go somewhere else. Anywhere else, right now. If we stay here, my mother will give us an earful!"

I flinch remembering that woman as a shiver went down my spine.

"Killua's right. Let's go," I spoke hurriedly.

"Hey, Gotoh. Listen up. I don't care what Mother says. Don't follow me," Killua order for them to bow understanding.

"Understood. Be careful," Gotoh bows.

"Gon, Hana, let's go," Killua says to have my hand grab suddenly.

He pulled me to the doors as I looked up at him shocked and confused.

"Killua, I can walk by myself, you know?" I spoke up but all he did was pull harder, "Ow, Killua."

We walked past a woman having bandages on her forehead to stare down sadly. I looked at her and Killua for him to not even knowledge her. I looked at Killua sadly but notice Gon wasn't behind us at all. As he was coming towards us, he was shouting a person's name good-bye. A girl name Canary. I smiled as I realized that Killua is definitely going to change if he hangs out with Gon and I.

When we walked down the mountain and into the streets, Gon told us about the coin game, and Gotoh's trick. Kurapika showed us that Gotoh actually had two coins, and hid the coin that you see in your hand down your sleeve. Of course, Gon gets mad despite Gotoh hates cheating.

We finally arrived on a train for Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio to talk so much with Killua. Especially how get here in the first place.

"You're here on a tourist visa?" Killua ask Gon and I surprised.

Gon smiled nodding his head while I sigh nodding my head sadly.

"Didn't you two pass the Hunter Exam? You could've just used your Hunter License," Killua explains, "It lets you stay in other countries for as long as you want."

"That's what we said," Leorio says sadly sweat-dropping.

"I already decided," Gon spoke up, "I'm not using the license until I've finished what I need to do."

"What do you have to do?" Killua asked.

Gon reached showing us Hisoka's badge as I realized that Hisoka's was Gon target. He told us about Hisoka hitting him at the 4th phase and want to return the favor. Until he hits Hisoka in the face, he won't be using the Hunter License, and won't go back to Whale Island.

"Hmm... So, where's Hisoka?" Killua ask making Gon sweat-drop.

I look at Kurapika for eyes to connect for me to speak up, "Kurapika, you know where he is right."

"How?" Leorio ask surprised.

"When Kurapika faced Hisoka and whispered something in his ear. He faced me mouthing out the 'Phantom Troupe'," I explained.

Kurapika nodded his head replying, "He told me he had some information regarding the spider. I was interested in the information, so I met him after the ordination. He said, 'I shall await you in Yorknew City, on September 1st. Make sure to bring Hana with you. The leader wants to see her after all these years.'"

"Hana? September 1st?" Leorio questions.

"Then you've still got over half a year. What's going to happen in Yorknew City?" Gon questions.

"Ah! They'll hold the world's largest auction," Leorio replies.

"Correct. From September 1st through September 10th, there will be an auction for unusual items, rare goods, and national treasures from around the world. The events attracts all manner of nasty folks who come looking to satisfy their greed. It's the biggest gathering of money in the world," Kurapika explains.

"That explains one thing, but why does the Phantom Troupe want with Hana?" Leorio questions as they all look at me.

"Honestly, I do know," I replied, "As I told Kurapika, the phantom's leader, Chrollo Lucifer, was the person that told me about my father being a Hunter. It was him that made me become a Hunter. He saw me training with the animals that are my teachers. He must have saw something that I have that he desperately wants. Whatever it is, I just hope nothing bad comes from it."

"So on that day, Hisoka will be somewhere in Yorknew City. Along with Phantom Troupe and... Hana's danger city," Kurapika says softly.

"September 1st," Gon spoke nodding his head, "Alright," Gon suddenly faces me determined, "Don't worry Hana. I will protect from the Phantom Troupe. I promise."

I nodded my head with a smile welcoming the protection from a my brother.

"Then I shall depart now," Kurapika spoke up as we leave the train, "We managed to see Killua again, so I'm finished here. I'll need money to participate in the auction. So I shall search for a patron to employ me as a Hunter."

"Really..." Leorio spoke lightly smiling, "I guess I should go home, then."

"You, too?" Gon asked.

"I haven't given up my dream of becoming a doctor," Leorio replies, "If I'm accepted to medical school, I can use this to pay the ridiculous fee," He holds up the Hunter License card, "I'll have to go back and start cramming."

"Uh-huh, good luck," Gon says happily.

I nodded my head saying, "You will do great."

That said Leorio and Kurapika left as we parted ways with them promising to meet in September 1st in Yorknew City.

"It's just the three of us now," Gon says waving good-bye to the blimp Kurapika and Leorio are in, "Hey, what do you want to do?" He ask Killua.

"You have to ask? We train, obviously," Killua replied plainly.

"Huh? Train for what?" Gon ask innocently, "Shouldn't we have some fun?"

I sigh as I smack my hand on my forehead. Killua walked to Gon's face angrily.

He spoke sweetly, too sweetly actually, "Do you remember what you just said? Think you can punch Hisoka in the face without training?" Gon look down sadly realizing as Killua finally yelled at him. I plunged my ear for him to continue, "You couldn't land a punch in ten years. let alone six months!"

"Okay," Gon replied understanding.

I unplug my ears to pat on Gon's shoulder for support. Killua goes down to the ground with a stick in his head drawing a line.

"Here, I'll make it easy to understand. This is Hisoka. This is Hanzo," Killua says drawing Hisoka and Hanzo close to touch, "If this is the gap between Hisoka and Hanzo, in terms of strength, the gap between Hisoka and you," He draws a line all the way to the other side of the fence, "Over here, and that's being generous."

"Then where are you and Hana?" Gon ask.

"Hana?" Killua questions raising up from Gon for me to be in the middle, "Now, me," He raises higher than me -making me mad by the way- to be closer to Hisoka and Hanzo.

"Hmm...Hanzo is stronger," Gon questions amazed.

Killua looks at Gon questions, "What?"

"You really are amazing!" Gon says happily.

I faced Killua my back saying angrily, "I'm starting to get angry at this. My strength can be just as equal with Killua's."

Gon laughed nervously sweat-dropping as I heard Killua chuckle.

"Yeah. In what century?" Killua ask.

I look at him to get even more angry as I walk to him making a mess out of his line. He got to full of himself as I grab his stick to go down close to Gon's strength.

"You should be down here from your ego getting in the way, " I stated.

"Huh?!" Killua shouts running towards me to mess up my line, "I do not have a big ego! Your the one with the emotionless expression crap!"

I glared at him as I put my forehead against his shouting, "It's so I won't have a big ego from how strong I am! You should learn from a girl! Oh wait, you can't because of your big ego!"

"Why you?!" Killua threaten as fire started to come in the background between us.

Gon trying to calm us down but all we did was glare at each other. We glared at each other butting heads for me to feel something soft on my lips. We stop for me to finally realize just how incredibly close we were. I felt the heat to my cheeks as I backed away from Killua.

"A-Anyway," I spoke up trying to changed this weird atmosphere, "we need to start training." I walk pass Gon and Killua for them to follow me, "We just have to find a place where to train and become stronger."

"There's actually somewhere we can train and earn money at the same time," Killua replies for us to stop and look at him, "The Heavens Arena."

"Heavens Arena?" I question.

"Yeah, I'll explain later," Killua replies, "We should get moving."

We start running into the building to go into the blimp to fly to the place that Killua calls Heavens Arena.
