"What took him so long… this time?"
"I know he is always late but to be late in an hour! Oh God something is wrong" Kurapika, for the 3rd time, complained once again when she saw the clock strike at 9:30.
Then someone knocked at the door.
"ahh! Finally!"
"you're la… what the…! What happened to you?" You're late is what an angry Kurapika suppose to say but her boiling temper froze when she saw Leorio almost bleeding to death.
Blaaahhhhg!
"Kurapika! Is something wrong? We heard something falling… Oh my God! Leorio! what happened?" Gon was entering the living room when he saw Leorio, above Kurapika, unconscious.
Gon immediately carry Leorio to the sofa and help Kurapika stand.
"what happened?" he asked.
"I don't know!" she said.
"Gon watch him, I'll go get some medicine"
-In the kitchen-
"Killua, where is the medicine kit?"
"What for?"
"Leorio is badly injured"
"What?Why?" Killua said while giving the kit to the blonde.
"I don't know"
The two then went to the living room.
Kurapika treated Leorio's injuries while the latter is still unconscious.
"Can somebody explain what is happening?" Killua being so bothered asked.
"I don't know. I found Leorio already unconscious at Kurapika" Gon answered his bestfriend.
"Kurapika?" Killua's tone is the one that still, is seeking for some answer.
"Before I could ask a question Leorio already fainted so I don't know either" the girl replied.
Hours passed in silence.
After an exactly 11:40 Leorio showed some awaking signs.
"Leorio!" his friends shouted in union.
"Are you feeling better now?" Kurapika asked.
"How is your wounds?" Gon inquired.
"What the hell happened to you?" Killua demanded, again.
The other two looked at him with what-in-the-world-is-that? Look.
"sorry… I was just curious." The white-headed boy stated.
"Oh easy you three, don't get so excited now. I cant answer all of your question at once. I have only one mouth." Leorio said while trying to look calm although the pain is still, painful.
"Don't joke around its no laughing matter." A voice so serious yet full of care stated.
"Yeah Kurapika is right, not to mention you are so badly injured there's definitely no time for your silliness" Gon seconded the blonde's statement.
"Now tell us what happened." The zoeldyeck member asked or should I say ordered Leorio.
"It's not a big deal…" Leorio stubbornly answered.
"Come on Leorio, look at yourself, you look like a molested door to door agent (the persons who go door to door and sell some cleaning materials and stuff) and you say it's no big deal?" Killua mockingly yet concerned commented.
"And what do you mean by that?" the elder one fought back.
"Just tell us what happened, will you?" said Gon
"I told you, you don't need to know. And I don't want to tell you either!" Leorio who was really don't want to give in, stated.
"What is with you?.. old man!" said by a Killua getting irritated.
"Are you trying to lose my temper? My wounds are aching really bad. I don't have time to your game right now, brat!"
"And so do we!" Gon stated to defend his friend and also to find the longed answer for their question.
"You don't need to know, I don't want you to know and I wont let you know!" Leorio still stood his ground.
"LEORIO!" a frightening shout coming from a blonde lady that has been quiet a long time listening to a somewhat a never-ending argument between the three boys.
"If you don't want to talk about the whole thing… fine! Don't tell us what, just like what you had said, we don't NEED to know. But please just tell us what on earth had happened to you, coming here with your body covered by injuries, all bloody and stuff! And please don't answer me with a 'its no big deal' or else you'd faint again, this time, with my fist!" An angry, fury and a very serious pair of red scarlet eyes faced Leorio along with the threatening lines above.
And because the one who gave the command is a Kuruta, one of the feared and endangered tribe in their province, Leorio could not do anything but follow. Although he really don't want his friends to find out who did that to him, he had no choice but confess. And so he indeed confess but he did not tell them the whole truth. He kept some to himself, actually half to himself.
"And that's what had happened" the line that came after the long story Leorio had told.
"You should be thankful they didn't kill you!" Killua said.
"How come you don't want us to know that?" Gon innocently asked Leorio.
"Coz I don't want you to worry that much about the thing"
"You thought of that, but didn't you thought of us worrying even more if you had kept that to yourself alone?" Kurapika said now with a much lighter tone.
"Never mind! Can we just go to sleep, can't we? I'm so tired of all the talking I've done today…plus the commotion I have encountered by meeting the feared genei ryodan " said by a very tired Leorio now yawning. He did not say the latter part but just thought of it instead. For that is what he don't want them to know, that the group he told them that he had run into is the genei ryodan also known as the spiders. Who puts shivers to anyone who heard even just the name.
