I don't own H X H.

Chapter 7: Plans X Problem? X Meetings

That evening before sunset,

"Ok. You know what to do?" Anna told the three other people in on the secret.

"Yeah. I'll talk Kara into going as her true self."

"I can't believe we fooled Leorio like that."

"I can't believe you almost told Kara what the insult was. She'd kill him for sure. And not just a duel."

"I'll give Kurapica my key to the roof."

"We'll be in our positions."

"And Leorio will be snoring away." Killua joked.

"Ok. Time to put "Operation: Reunite Twins" into action."

"Right"

In the girl's room a few minutes later,

"Thanks Keitaro, but I think I can dress myself." (A/N: Meaning he was just going to pick out her clothes.)

"I'm just saying he might be willing to cooperate with you if you tell him who you are."

"He has half of the eyes of my tribe!"

"And you have the other half."

"Good point. But what if he…"

"Kara. Do you trust me?"

"Yes."

"Then go as youself…Karapica."

"What did I tell you about calling me that?"

"That it is only used in serious cases."

"Do you think it could be that serious?"

"Yes."

"Ok. I'll wear my tribal outfit."

In Kurapica's room,

"Thanks for the key Anna."

"No problem. Oh, and you might want to change into your tribal outfit."

"WHAT! How did you know?"

"Your friends have the biggest mouths in the world."

"Right."

"Please Kurapica. I think you'll appreciate it if you do."

"Alright. Hey Anna?"

"Yes?"

"Are you, never mind. Thanks."

"No sweat. Are you going to bring your briefcase?"

"Probably not."

"Ok."

Downstairs,

"Wow Kara. You look stunning."

"Do you think so?" She asked as she walked out of the room dressed in matching teal pants and shirt and a blue and orange over-drape (for lack of a better word)

"You're not bringing the eyes?"

"If he wants them so badly, he'll have to get through me and then look for them. Well, wish me luck."

"Good luck."

"Hey Anna!"

"Hey Kara. So that's the tribal outfit of the Kuruta Tribe."

"Yeah. I'm off to go meet the Chain-User."

"You'll be fine."

"I know I will. I have my swords."

"YOU WHAT!"

"What? Do you two honestly expect me to go meet the person who has half of what rightfully is mine and be unarmed?"

"Well. We uh." They stuttered.

"I thought so." She said as she climbed the stairs.

"Oh boy."

A few minutes later,

The sun was starting to set and Kara was watching it.

"Just like last time." She said to herself.

In another corner, Anna and Keitaro had met up with Gon and Killua in their hiding place behind one of the vents.

"Has he shown up yet?" Anna whispered.

"Not yet."

"Good. We need to be prepared for when Kara attacks him."

"What?"

"She brought her swords."

"Kurapica's not dumb. He'll bring his too."

"Just our luck." Anna said sarcastically.

"You like him don't you?" Killua teased.

Just then, the door to the roof opened up and Kurapica entered in his tribal outfit.

"Gon? Killua?"

"Here it comes." Keitaro braced himself.

Kara turned to see who was calling two of the guest of the hotel while pulling out her swords. When she saw who it was, she dropped her swords as she got the shock of her life.

"K…Kura?"

"Kara?"

"YOU'RE ALIVE!" they both yelled.

They then ran and embraced each other.

"I missed you so much." Kara sobbed on her brother's shoulder.

"Me too. Did you cut your hair?"

"Yes."

SNIFF

The four spies were having a little trouble keeping in the tears.

"Did you hear something?"

"Yeah. It might be the Chain-User."

"Chain-User? You know about that?"

"Of course. It's all over the papers. No one knows his true identity. Just that he disabled the leader of the Genei-Ryodon. He has half of our tribe's eyes."

"Actually Kara. It can't be the Chain-User who made that noise."

"Why not?"

"Because I'm him."

"YOU!"

"Yes. I learned Nen through Shisyo and he taught me how to materialize the chains."

"So you have half of the eyes?"

"Yes. I'm in the process of looking for the other half."

"Look no further. I have them."

"YOU!"

"Yeah. Some idiots paid for hotel rooms using them. I recognized them as some of those who killed the Kuruta Tribe. So,"

"You finished them off."

"Of course. They should have known better."

"True."

"What happened to you? That night I mean." Kara asked her brother.

"After I told you to run, I went to Mother and Father's room. Mother grabbed me and put me in her closet. She asked me where you were and I told her that I told you to run. She sighed with relief and then there was a crash. She told me to stay there until it got quiet. I wanted to refuse, but,"

"I understand." Kara said and embraced her brother once more.

With the spies,

"Do you need a handkerchief Killua?" Keitaro asked his younger friend.

"Uh huh." Killua nodded

"Are you sure you're a member of the Zaoldyeck family?" Anna asked.

"What are you four doing?" two voices came from behind them.

Gon, Killua, Anna, and Keitaro turned around and came face to face with the two, almost identical, surviving Kuruanians.

"Hi guys." They laughed.

"Talk." Kurapica demanded.

"We just… We were…"

"Taking in some fresh air. Aww. This nice cool crisp air." Gon saved Keitaro.

The twins just looked at each other and shook their heads.

"C'mon guys. Let's go back in." Kara sighed.

"Alright." The four spies said glad they were off the hook.

"Wait. How long did you four know about this?" Kurapica asked.

"I've known since yesterday when you checked in." Anna said.

"And we've known since this morning." Gon told him.

"Does your other friend know?" Kara asked.

"I don't think so." Killua told her.

"This is going to be good." Kurapica and Kara said.

Next time on Karapica:

Whew. All went well. Now all we have to do is tell Leorio. I can't wait to see his face! Also, Keitaro is bringing his sister over to meet us. And we are helping out at the hotel. This is going to be so much fun! Next time on Karapica: Shocked X Girls X Familiar Faces. Hey! Where's Kurapica going with Anna?
