I don't own H X H.

Hey. Where are my reviews?

Chapter 6: Busted X Plots X Confusion

Upstairs, Leorio was up and was now glued to the television watch ER. Kurapica decided to ask the hotel manager if there was a place for him to read without being disturbed. As he left the room, Keitaro came up to him.

"Hello." Kurapica said.

"Hello. Kurapica right?"

"Yes. How did you…?"

"My girlfriend is one of the managers." He explained.

"Oh."

"Her best friend, Anna, said that you four are hunters."

"Yes. We've been hunters for about two years now."

"Two years? Wow. My girlfriend and Anna were going to take the exam, but they changed their minds."

"Why?"

"Said something about if they died then there would be nobody to avenge her family."

"I know that feeling. I took the exam so I could avenge my family as well."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"REPEAT THAT AGAIN GON!" Killua's voice rang from downstairs.

"What is going on?" both nineteen year olds asked as they ran down the stairs.

When they got down there, they saw Gon and Killua behind the counter.

"Shhh." Gon was trying to calm a shocked Killua.

"What are you two doing behind that counter?" Kurapica asked.

"Hehehe. Nothing." Gon said with a guilty look on his face.

"You heard us talking, didn't you kid?" Keitaro asked.

"Yeah."

"I didn't." Killua mentioned, "I was too busy throwing up."

"Why WAS that Killua?" Kurapica asked.

"Because Mmph." Killua started before Gon covered his mouth.

"He saw something disgusting." Gon finished.

Kurapica didn't fall for this and turned to Keitaro.

Keitaro sighed and decided to tell them a little bit of the truth.

"When I met my girlfriend, she kept her past fairly quiet. The only thing I knew was that she hated this one group. The reason why is simple: They killed almost everyone she cares about. We just recently found that one of them is still alive. However, it was so recently, she doesn't know it yet."

"Why DID they kill her family?" Killua asked.

"They had a treasure. The two girls have been slowly getting the treasure back because a few stupid members actually paid with the treasure. These two saw the treasure." He said as he pointed to Gon and Killua.

"Is the treasure that disgusting?"

"To the average person when they really think about it."

"C'mon. We never do girl stuff." Anna's voice was heard at the door.

"I don't care. Maybe when we're done with the collecting. Until then," Kara's voice was heard.

"RIGHT! THE READING ROOM! It's right this way." Keitaro said as he pushed Kurapica out of the room into one of the ballrooms not ready for the reunion.

Just as the two boys left, the two girls entered to find Gon and Killua still behind the counter.

Anna put her hands on her hips and glared at them. "What are you two doing back there?"

"Exploring." They answered.

Anna and Kara shook their heads.

"I'm Gon. This is Killua. You must be Kara." Gon said. "I've heard so much about you."

"How did you know her name?" Anna asked. "I never told you."

"Well, hehehe."

"You heard Keitaro and I earlier didn't you?"

"Were you two talking about me?"

"Just about a little surprise we have cooking up." Anna said sweetly.

"Ok. I'm going to do some more research on this "Chain-User""

"Alright. Phew" She sighed as the door to the girls' room closed. "Now as for you two,"

Gon and Killua went ridged.

"What all do you know?"

"Well," Gon started, "We saw the briefcase and decided to check it out. Killua got sick when he saw the eyes, and then Kara and Keitaro came out. So, I hid and forgot about the eyes. She took it into the room, and then Keitaro sat down. Then you came in and you know the rest."

"So you heard the entire conversation?"

"Yep."

"I should make you pay for your room as punishment for eavesdropping. But, we might be able to use you two."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"He's content." Keitaro said as he entered the room. "What's the status out here?"

"Kara's going to research to current owner of the other half of the eyes and these two are going to help use get those two siblings together."

In the girl's room a few minutes later,

"Hey Kara!"

"Hi Anna."

"Any luck?"

"Nothing." Kara said sounding upset.

"Well, I was talking to Gon and Killua, and they happen to know the "Chain-User.""

"Really?"

"Yeah. C'mon in boys."

Gon and Killua entered the room to a shocked Kara.

"Do you really know the guy who disabled the leader of Genei-Ryodon?"

"Yep."

"What can you tell me about him?"

"Can we see you without your disguise first?"

"Ok?" Kara looked uncertain as she took off the wig and contacts.

"WHOA BABY!" Both fourteen year olds screamed at the sudden transformation.

Instead of a black-haired girl with dark blue eyes, a blond girl with sky-blue eyes stood before them. Her hair was no longer down her back, but was cut short like her brother's. In fact, if they stood side-by-side, any NORMAL person couldn't tell them apart. (Except for obvious parts, but I'm trying to keep this at a low rating)

"Watch it boys." Keitaro warned them.

"Sorry. You are so lucky to be dating a hot girl like her." Killua said.

"Thank you." Kara told him.

"Why do you hide it?" Gon asked.

"Because I am the sole survivor of the Kuruta tribe. My eyes are just a valuable."

"Oh. At least KOuch." Gon started before Killua elbowed him.

"Huh?"

"Never mind Gon. Anyways, what do you want to know about the Chain-User?"

"Anything and Everything."

"How about you meet him personally?" Killua asked slyly.

"Really? When can you get him here?"

"Tomorrow. Tonight." Killua suggested some times the last one with a sarcastic hint.

"You can get him tonight?"

"Yeah." He said. "Gon, Cell Phone."

"Aww. I wanted to call." Gon complained as Killua grabbed the cell phone.

In the quiet peaceful ballroom,

RING RING

"Who can that be?" Kurapica asked.

"Hello?"

"Hey. It's me."

"Killua? Why did you call me? I'm only in the ballroom."

"I know. Hey. Can you meet us on the roof of the Hotel on Whale Island?"

"Ok. Why?"

"Just cuz."

"Alright. When?"

"Tonight. At sunset."

"Sunset?"

"Yep. See ya then."

"Killua?"

"…"

"Great. He hung up."

0000

"He'll be on the roof at sunset."

"Will he bring the eyes?"

"I didn't ask him. Possibly."

KNOCK KNOCK

"Who is it?"

"It's me. Leorio."

"Come in." Gon and Killua shouted.

"What? Wait!" Kara said noticing she didn't have her disguise on.

"There you three are. I was wondering what happened."

"Do I know you?" Kara asked him.

"Yeah. I'm Leorio. Remember? We took the Hunter's Exam together."

"I never…"

"We also fought on the ship to Dole, because you wouldn't call me Leorio-san."

"That's a pretty stupid reason to pick a fight."

"Well, after I insulted your tribe, you took it pretty hard."

"YOU WHAT?" Killua yelled.

"Didn't you know?" Keitaro asked him.

"That was before I met them."

"What did you say?" Anna asked.

"He said "Looks like you filMmph"' Gon started before Leorio covered his mouth.

"It doesn't matter anymore. I apologized. We're friends now." Leorio said hurriedly.

"Ok?" Kara asked uncertainly.

"Well. Now that I know you three are safe, I'm going back upstairs and take a shower."

"Ok."

After Leorio left, Kara turned to the two younger boys.

"What was THAT about?"

"Sorry." Killua answered. "You just looked like someone we know."

"Oh. That guy he was talking about?"

"Yep." Gon answered.

"Well I guess I'll see you two on the roof at sunset?"

"You bet."

"We wouldn't miss this for the world."

0000

"Hey Gon?"

"What is it Killua?"

"What WAS the insult?"

"Leorio said, "Looks like you filthy Kuruta tribe people don't know any manners.""

"IS HE CRAZY!" Killua shouted at Gon.

0000

Meanwhile upstairs,

Kurapica had returned to his room after the phone call from Killua and noticed that Leorio was nowhere to be seen.

"Finally. Some peace and quiet."

As Kurapica sat down on the bed and opened his book, the door opened to reveal Leorio.

Leorio, who believed that Kurapica was downstairs with the managers and the two younger hunters, started to get ready for his shower. Not noticing Kurapica, he took off his shirt. As he started to take off his pants, Kurapica decided to speak up.

"Didn't I tell you before that courtesy is needed even between good friends?"

"KURAPICA!" Leorio tripped in his own pants. "What…How…When?"

"What are you stuttering about?"

"How did you get up here so fast? Weren't you just downstairs a couple of seconds ago?"

"More like a couple of minutes ago. I was in the ballroom reading while you watched your show."

"No. You were in the manager's bedroom with Gon and Killua."

"I think I know where I was. And why would I be in the manager's apartment?"

"Huh?"

Next time on Karapica:

It's finally time! Kurapica and Kara are going to meet after five years of thinking the other is dead! I can't wait! Kurapica is going to think we are going to meet him, and Kara thinks she will be meeting the Chain-User. Well, technically she is, but it's not who she thinks it is. Next time on Karapica: Plans X Problem? X Meeting. Why is Kara sneaking her swords?
