Killua was running.

It was evening, and the darkness was settling in among the city streets. It had been almost two hours since Gon and Minoru had disappeared. He knew that they couldn't have gone to far. However, the city was large. It would be impossible for him to locate Gon or Minoru then.

Still, Killua kept running.

Pulling out his phone, Killua scrolled down to Gon's cell phone number. Leaping up onto the roof tops of the buildings around him, Killua cursed loudly as the phone rang.

Ding...Ding...Ding...

No one was going to pick up anyway. Killua was about to hang up when a muffled noise came from across the line. Killua stopped running.

"Gon!"

The smooth voice of Minoru slide through his ears.

"He can't come to the phone right now. Can I take a message?"

"Where is Gon?" said Killua calmly, but his heart was pounding. It was all he could do to keep from screaming at the phone and crushing it with his bare hands.

"I was just playing with him a moment ago. He even said that you weren't the Killua we were looking for. Killua Zoldyck. Tell me, are you that Killua?" His voice was controlled and slick.

"What have you done to Gon?" Killua's voice seethed. Gon was trying to protect him from enemies of his family. Killua shook his head. This could not be happening. Anger shook his body, and he twitched.

"You really don't understand what's going on, do you? Maybe you and Gon should talk." came the fluid reply. Killua pressed the phone up against his ear hard.

"Killu..a...I'm...fi..ne...Noth..ing's...wrong..." Whispered a weak voice. Killua gasped, his eyes wide and blurring with anger.

"Gon! Can you hear me? Gon!" Killua cried.

"Don't...come...they..have...a..." whispered Gon. There came the sound of coughing, and someone spitting. Then there were several thuds. Then a piercing scream.

"GON!" shrieked Killua. His hands were shaking so violently that he could barely hold the phone.

"Come to me, Zoldyck. Meet at the abandoned warehouse north of the city. I think your friend has lost enough." smoothly stated Minoru.

The phone went dead.

Killua stood on top of the roof of some building and stared out at the city before him, but he really didn't see the amazing view. All he could think about was Gon. His laughing face, his honest eyes. Killua closed the eyes. He could hear the thuds. The piercing scream.

He didn't care what they did to him. He justed wanted Gon to be safe.

Killua ran into the darkness, the shadows shrouding him in a mantle of melting blackness.

He didn't even think twice about it.

Killua was running north.
