We made it to town. Gon told us what Gotoh had done.

"I think I know what he did." Kurapika said as he tossed the coin into the air and made a switch. "Which hand?"

"Uh..? The left." Gon pointed to Kurapika's left hand. He showed us that the coin was in his right.

"But!? How!?" Gon asked not getting it.

"In fact Gotoh had two coins. He keeps one hidden in the right hand, and throws the other one. And retries it with the left hand in a visible way." He explained to us.

"Well that's simple." Hikaru remarked.

"The trick is here. When he asks 'Which hand?' He raises his wrist a little higher than the eyes of the player, and while keeping his hand closed, he lets the coin slide into this sleeve." Kurapika demonstrated to us.

"Ohhh!" Gon said getting it.

"And he still has the other coin in the right hand." Kurapika finished his explanation. He got that all so quickly? Kurapika sure is intelligent.

"Ahh that's so frustrating!" Gon exclaimed.

"Yeah. But I think he only used this trick in the last round. Even if it's only a game, Gotoh hates that kind of thing." Killua explained to us. "But tell me" He said getting into Gon's face, "Why are you so damn stubborn?"

"What? Why are you suddenly asking me this?" Gon questioned.

"You passed the hunter exam, didn't you? So it wasn't necessary to use a tourist visa sine you can stay wherever you want!" Killua shouted at Gon.

"We told him that too!" Leorio commented.

"He wouldn't listen to us." Hikaru added.

"I made a decision. I said that I'll use it when I've finished what I have to do." Gon said full of determination.

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

"Well, first thank the people who helped me." Gon replied. "I'm gonna try to contact Kite and give him back what he lost. And most important for me," He pulled out number 44 "Give this tag back to Hisoka and put my fist in his face with it! I've decided not to use my hunter card until I've done this!" Gon said with all the seriousness in his voice.

"Ah. Ok. And you know where Hisoka is?" Killua questioned. Gon hesitated. I laughed. Killua had his cat face on. Hikaru only face palmed.

"I know, Gon." Kurapika said sighing. He knew this would happen.

"You do?" The others questioned. I wasn't so surprised. Kurapika had already told me while we trained at Zebro's house.

"How could you know?" Leorio asked.

"Because he told me." Kurapika started walk. We all followed him.

"You mean?" Hikaru started.

"At that time?" Leorio finished. I thought of the time when Hisoka whispered into Kurapika's ear and had quit soon after. Those were only fighting words I recalled.

"No, after the information meeting." Kurapika said being curt about it.

"But there's a connection isn't there?"

"Yes.."

"So what did he say? Mitsuki you knew about this?" Hikaru said questioning us.

"Yeah. I was told." I said jumping on top of the fence. I held my hands to keep my balance.

"It's been a long time since I wanted to ask you, but what did he say at that time?" Leorio stated.

"Concerning the spider, I'm gonna teach you some pretty interesting stuff." Kurapika said his eyes turning red. "I know I never mentioned the Phantom Troupe to him. Maybe he heard my conversation with you during the first round, or maybe Mitsuki let it slip during the third round, or someone told him about it. Whatever the reason, the spider is the symbol of the Phantom Troupe and only people who are familiar with it call it that way, 'The Spider.' It's the reason why information coming from Hisoka, knowing this, interests me a lot." Kurapika said level headed again.

"You aren't worried!" Hikaru questioned me.

"I'll be there too." I shrugged. Hikaru looked ready to strangle me.

"I see." Leorio could only comment.

"Next, after the meeting, I asked him to tell me what he knew." Kurapika said.

"I was there too!" I wanted the people to know.

"I'll wait for you on September 1st in York Shin City." Kurapika finished.

"The 1st of September? That's over six months from now!" Gon said thinking about it.

"York Shin City? What's going on there?" Killua asked.

"Ahh! The biggest auction in the world!" Leorio said realizing it.

"Yes. Between the 1st and the 10th of September there will be an auction with rare objects, undiscoverable treasures from all around the world. Many things will happen during that time." Kurapika included.

"You think they'll be there?" Leorio asked.

"Possibly. Even if they're not numerous, there'll surely be people with serious relations to them." Kurapika said.

"Are you out of your minds?" Hikaru asked looking back and forth from both of us. "The Phantom Troupe are dangerous! And you're recklessly going after them? What will you do if Mitsuki gets hurt covering your ass?" Hikaru shouted at Kurapika.

"Hikaru. It's fine." I put my hand on her shoulder to calm her down. It did the exact opposite.

"You! This is not fine! This is beyond crazy! You guys are the only Kurta people left! What's going to happen!? Are you just going to let your heritage die?" I sighed.

"Hikaru. Stop. We, no. I can take care of myself. I will protect Kurapika."

"But who's going to protect you? You're not indestructible! You're human! These are people with insane abilities! How can you throw away your life like this!" Hikaru started to sob.

"I'm not throwing away my life. I'm making sure that Kurapika survives. I can't, won't let him get hurt. These people are dangerous. If I could help it, I wouldn't be doing this, but Kurapika won't be swayed. He wants to do this. And to make sure he survives this ordeal, I'm going to protect him. This is a world you guys don't know about. I don't want you guys to know about this, but sometimes we have to make choices we don't want to make." I said looking at Kurapika. I wasn't letting him do this alone. Not if I could help it.

"You're both idiots." Hikaru said glaring at us with tears running down her face. I could only smile. Thanks I whispered in her ear as I hugged her. "Ugh I'll be there. I'll make sure you guys don't kill yourself." Getting into her face I smiled.

"Nope." I said articulating the word.

"What do you mean nope? You can't stop me." She screeched in my ear.

"You're not strong enough. In fact I'm going to be doing all the dirty work until Kurapika catches up. I've already made him agree to it."

"How did you do that?" Gon asked.

"Simple. I made him give up."

"You mean she beat you up?" Killua said laughing at Kurapika. Kurapika just ignored them.

"She showed me what I lacked. So no doubt I have to train hard." Kurapika was slightly upset. There was no way he could defeat me. Not with him like this.

"Exactly. And you," I pointed to Hikaru, "are now where near Kurapika or even Leorio. So no. I won't let you get into danger. Plus you're the heir to a huge company. I don't want your family to hire people against me. Plus wasn't it your dream to take over the company or something?"

"Well now I just want to make sure you guys don't get into too much trouble." She countered.

"But it's okay. We have Kurapika's level-headed mind, and my strength. It's just like chess. We'll be fine. After all Kurapika will make sure there are no casualties. We only have each other left in this world." My words held meanings over meanings. At first Kurapika had objected to me helping him, saying he didn't need me to get into this, but after a threat and a beating, he agreed ungraciously. He had no choice. I wasn't going to let him go about it alone. So he said he would make the plans unless I found something that didn't sit right. Then he would rethink of another plan.

"Well you have us now!" Hikaru stubbornly replied.

"True, but we are the only Kurta. We have a pain only we know." I replied. This girl was so stubborn. Yes, I like her, but I don't want her involved. What if she died because of this? This wasn't about her.

Well since it's six months from now, I'll be training. Watch out, or else I surpass you." Hikaru said finally accepting it for now.

"When I meet with Hisoka, I'll call you. Kurapika told Gon.

"Thanks." Gon replied.

"Well we will have to leave now. My break is over. I have to save money to join the auction sale." Kurapika told the group. "From now on, I'm going to look seriously for some work, as a hunter." His pride showing through.

"Yup! I'll be working too!" I pointed to myself.

"I'll catch up to you!" Hikaru said declaring herself my new rival. I could only smile.

"We'll see you again in York Shin!" Gon told us.

"As for me, I'll return home. I have people waiting on me."

"You too?!" Gon replied shock.

"You have someone waiting on you?" Hikaru asked, a pale eyebrow shot up.

"Of course. My childhood friend. Plus I haven't become a doctor yet. If I pass the entrance exam of a private university, I won't have to pay high expenses. I mustn't wait to start studying."

"Yes. Be strong." Gon said a bit disheartened.

"I will pray for you." I said.

"Don't die." Hikaru commented.

"I'm not going to die! I can pass if I study hard enough!" Leorio yelled at us. Hikaru and I looked at each other and laughed. Leorio studying seemed hilarious for some reason. "Just wait! One day you'll need me to fix you up and you'll be grateful because I studied!"

"You can do it. You'll save tons of people!" I said. "You got this!"

"Doctor Leorio. Sounds weird but doable." Hikaru added.

"We'll see each other next time." Leorio said ruffling our hair.

"Hey I just fixed my hair!" Hikaru cried out. I could only laugh. Being with friends was definitely fun. We had to part ways soon.

"We'll all meet in York Shin, on September 1st." Leorio told us all.

We then headed to the train station. First we waved bye to Gon and Killua, since they decided to take a different route. Hikaru was next, she decided she wanted to be in first class, and so we waved by to her. She was prepared to go home and face her father. After a few train rides, Leorio waved bye to us and our route spit in different directions. It was only Kurapika and I. I was tired and so I slept most of the time. Kurapika would wake me up to switch trains. Finally we made it to his little home.

Walking into his house I saw remnants of Kurapika. It was bare, neat, and lonely. It looked as though he hadn't spent much time here. It just made me feel that I had to shelter him even more.

"Wow! This is your home? This is neat!" I commented looking around and inspecting the place. It wasn't much. A bathroom, thank goodness, one room, a kitchen, and a sorry excuse for a living room. What was this? It wasn't amazing. This was like. "OMG! You can call this your secret base! No one would ever think you live here!" I said as I examined the fridge. There was hardly anything and loads of spoiled food. This was ridiculous.

"It's not much. I'm hardly here, so I didn't see a point in getting anything bigger. I was mainly out training."

"I see. I said as I plopped on the floor. He didn't have anything but a table! A small table at that!

"We'll rest here for a few days. I have collected some information while you were asleep. There's a place that I want to check out later." Kurapika said as he shifted through some papers.

"Okay. That's taken care of, but what about food?" I asked as our stomachs grumbled.

"There's a small grocery store, down the street. Go to the main road, and turn left, and you'll see it." He said not looking up from his research.

"Yes. Let's send the girl who's bad at directions to go get the food." I dramatically moped as I fell to the floor, dramatically. He looked up from his papers and gave me a small smile.

"I don't have much-"

"I got this. I have some savings that I haven't used much." I said as I dug out a card. It was a golden credit card, in it, held all the earnings I got from thieving and killing people. I hardly used any. There just wasn't anything I wanted.

"I don't want to impose on you, I can-" He started but I cut him off. Again.

"Oh shut up. I'm pretty sure I have more money than you ever had in your life." I said not giving a damn about it. "Come on, let's go get some food!" I dragged him out the door as we went shopping for only a few days worth of food.

It's not much but it's a start. I'm sorry I lied. I thought it would only be a few days but stuff happened. First the laptop doesn't want to work, and it keeps restarting, and then I cut my finger, it went through my nail. Not sure how I could accomplish that, but I did. Also I figured it would be best to stop here and get prepared for the nen world to come. Are you guys ready? We're about to find out what her nen type is! I'm excited to tell you guys, but I'm pretty sure you guys know or might figure it out. :P
