Chapter 3 – Out And About
Kurapika gets up out of bed rubbing his eyes trying to wake up. He has a shower and then gets changed into some fresh clothes. As he walks up to the door he hears the sizzling of a pan frying something and the smell of bacon looming around in the air. He opens the door and finds the table all set up with Gon there cooking breakfast.
"Good morning Kurapika!" Gon said as he slides bacon on too one of the plates laid out.
"Gon? What's all this?" Kurapika questioned.
"Oh, this? This is nothing!" Gon scratches the back of his neck "It's been a while since we all sat down together and had a breakfast, so I decided to make it nice!"
Kurapika sighed "My answers still no by the way"
"WHY NOT!" Gon said upset that his plan didn't work.
"I knew it! You can't win me over with bacon!" Kurapika said still willing to eat Gon's cooking
"Wow what smells so good!" Leorio entered licking his lips.
"yea yea, just eat" Gon said still upset
"What's your problem?" Leorio asked
"His attempt at bribery didn't work" Kurapika said browsing the newspaper
"It's so unfair why-" Gon was interrupted by a near by door opening and Killua somewhat awkwardly walking out.
"Morning Killua!" Gon said with a huge smile as always.
"So he's not upset about last night? That's a relief!" Killua thought contemplating last night.
"Morning!" Killua said unaffected by the commotion that had just been taking place as hetook a seat opposite Kurapika and with Gon taking a seat next to him. They all begin eating when Gon realized that he needs to do something.
"I need to get some pyjamas!" Gon announced
"What did you wear last night? Leorio said holding back his laughter
"undies and a singlet" Gon said innocently
"Lucky Killua." Leorio said before cracking up with laughter. Killua just sat there, getting redder and redder.
"One day I'm going to kill that guy!" Killua thought as he shoves another piece of bacon in hid mouth.
"Ha. ha." Gon said realizing he is at the center of everyone's jokes "Any way I'm going down to the shops Killua want to come with me?"
"Well..." Killua hesitated "I need to get razors" Killua knew the layout of the city well enough to the point that he knows that the only shops that sell descent razors is on the opposite side of the city to the nearest place that sells clothes.
"I'll take you razor blade shopping!" Leorio said proudly as he can finally do something 'manly' with Killua as he's been wanting to do for a while. "I know all the best places along with the best brands! I'll even teach you how to haggle!"
"Sounds good" Killua replied. "I think time away from Gon at the moment is the best thing for me" he thought.
"It's fine Gon I'll go with you, I need to get some more clothes anyway" Kurapika offered.
"Sure" Gone said without being discouraged by Killua turning him down.
"Why don't you too girls go get you nails done after you shop for clothes?" Leorio said laughing once more.
~Time skip to 1:00pm~
"I'm sure you got it in the right size Gon" Kurapika said trying to address Gon's concern.
"I hope so" Gon said while putting is his shopping bag in his backpack.
A shadowy figure walks past Gon and Kurapika.
"That's the princes royal guard!, what is he doing here of all places!" Kurapika thought to himself.
"HEY YOU, STOP!" Kurapika yelled to the man who turned around to confirm Kurapika's suspicions and ran off down the street.
"I'll be right back Gon!" Kurapika said handing Gon his bags and sprinted after him. The man picked up his speed, both Kurapika and the man are running at tremendous speeds. The man runs onto the roof tops with Kurapika following him. Then the man stops.
"You're the royal guard of the prince, who stole my clans eyes! You're going to tell me all about him" Kurapika demanded. The man turned around facing Kurapika. His face started to drip, more and more then his entire face melted off reveal a completely different one.
"TRICKED YOU!" the man yelled crazily, he was carrying with him metal rod most likely for combat.
"It must be a transmutation ability that allows you to copy the face of someone else!"
"You're not the royal guard!" Kurapika said once grasping the situation
"DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT! YOU'LL HURT MY FELLINGS!, I SUPOSE IT WONT MATTER NO MORE SINCE GANNA BE DEAD." The man said showing how insane he is.
"It's a shame, since I thought you were a royal guard I thought I would have a proper fight" Kurapika said quite arrogantly as he holds up his hands materializing his chains getting ready to fight.
"OH, I DON'T THINK I CAN KILL YOU ALONE! BUT I HAVE FRIENDS" The man kept making waving motions with his arms and four other men out from the shadows, this only made Kurapika more on guard. Suddenly circle started to glow around him.
"I can't move! And I'm being forced into zetsu! A strong condition must've been triggered!"
"This is what you get for snooping for so long you pesky hunter!" one of the four men said
"well looks like I have the honours! So long" one of the other men materialized a giant axe and swung it directly for Kurapika's neck. There was a green blur. Then a huge thump and the man with the axe was on the ground with his head stomped in with blood pooling over the boots of his killer.
"Gon! Dam I can't speak, I'm glad he came"
"back off now and I wont hurt you" Gon said staring at the now three men and their insane boss.
"let me ask you something, did anybody tell you your way too cocky?" The last man said striking his fist directly in Gon's face. Gon just stood there, he didn't even flinch.
"let me ask you a question" Gon said with the fist still on his face "How many figures did you just break?" everybody looked at the man's hand once he removed it from Gon's face and sees hat every finger is destroyed with each one pointing in a different direction.
"Gon sure learnt some cool one liners since we last met. Wait! The boss, the insane guys is pouring so much aura into his rod! Just get out of here Gon your no match for that, it's be charging for 3 seconds now!"
Gon crushes the skull of the man who just hit him with his bare hands and before anybody could noticed ran behind the fourth and knocked him out cold.
"NICE MOVES BOY, TOO BAD YOU DIE NOW!" the insane man leapt into the air bringing to Gon's attention just how much aura is in his metal rod. Gon did not move, just stood there waiting for him to land.
The cane hit Gon with all of it's force and much like the man's fist Gon didn't flinch just stood there. Like the rod was just placed on his head gently.
" Good job!" Gon said " That kind of tickled!" and with that said Gon kick the man to the floor. "NEVER HURT MY FRIENDS!" Gon yelled the stomped the man's head in.
"I can move now!"
"Gon.." Kurapika hesitated "I'll help you get to the dark continent."
~meanwhile~
"Pretty good eh?" Killua said proud of himself.
"Yea, no it's fine. This is just an off day for me." Leorio said looking defeated.
"Who am I kidding? The kid got 90% off the best razor that was there!" Leorio thought
"I got the better deal though! Loser buys ice cream, those where the rules right?" Killua said rubbing it in.
"Yea yea, shut your mouth" Leorio said as he gets out his wallet and enters the ice cream shop.
~5 minutes later~
"Hey can I ask you something?" Killua said as he took a lick of his ice cream.
"sure, what is it?" Leorio replied as he sat on a near by park bench
"How can you tell if you like someone?" Killua looked up at Leorio.
"here comes the guy talk!, play it cool, I don't want to go all 'dad' on Killua"
"Well that depends on you and the sort of girl in question, I mean if she's pretty then I guess you probably like her! Plus you really need to analyse you thoughts and feelings you have around her!" Leorio explains
"Never-mind." Killua said as he got up and started walking. Leorio quickly jumped up chasing after him.
"What did I do wrong! I'm hip, I pulled the right strings right? Is that not the answer Killua was looking for?"
"I new it was a bad idea to ask Leorio! He's useless. 'Analyse my feelings' those feelings meant nothing! They weren't even 'feelings' they where just something I wondered about nothing more, right?"
