Summary: The unexpected attack.
"As far as I know, the rule is not fully lifted yet... Ufufufu... Let's test the effects on how it will affect them."
It was midnight. The moon was shining weakly through the windows, hovering on the black, starless sky. People all over the lands should be in their bed by now, happily dreaming and drifting off to dreams about their beloved ones... But Genei Ryodan- they're certainly not ordinary people. All of them had their eyes peeled open, not even a little drowsy despite the fact that it was already hours since they had fought, which should've exhausted them. The one missing from the meeting was the blonde- the newcomer.
With the blonde, who had gone unconscious from the start, now sleeping soundly, the remaining members of the troupe had gathered in the Main Building. Who else can't guess what they're talking about?
Right.
The Gem.
So far until now, Kuroro never fail in obtaining what he desire. Money. Treasure. Ability.
Everything.
Kuroro had finally gained access to the special location of the gem, aided by Shalnark. This was few hours ago, and he was still frustrated by what he've seen- or not seen.
It's not there...
Yet, they ran away when polices and reporters started gathering at the museum with nothing.
Nothing is a taboo.
And it is unacceptable.
Kuroro wasn't sure whether Kurapika's face had been caught in the film, but if it had, it would've added another burden or Kuroro's shoulder. After all, Kuroro hated to swallow the bitter fact that his plans were ruined, destroyed to pieces.
"Do any of you had any idea where the gem is?" said Kuroro.
Silent all over the room. There's no one talking or they do not even dare to part their lips. Thinking from what they've experienced so far, they never failed and they doesn't know what to respond to their anxious leader. Kuroro knew what's inside their minds and he repeated his previous question for the second time.
"Do you have any idea where the Gem is, Shalnark?" this time, he questioned Shalnark, who he think is best at locating both living and non living things.
"As soon as we returned to our base, I've tried to search through every possible regions where the Gem might be, Danchou." he replied.
"And the result is?" the leader twitched his eyebrow.
"I have no idea where it is." he sighed.
'Even the genius Shalnark can't?' thought Nobunaga.
"That's so unexpected of you, Shal." replied Kuroro.
"I'll try my best, Danchou."
"Please do so. Well then, everyone, you may proceed to your room."
And so, everyone leaves the building and went back to their rooms with their heart still curious... where might the Gem be?
When Kuroro opened the knob leading to the room he and the blonde shared, he was greeted with a slumped posture perched on the corner of the bed. Kurapika had a blanket covering half his body, and his ears perked at the sound of the door opening.
"So you're awake."
"Ku-roro?" said the blonde with his gentle voice.
"Yes, this is me. Don't tell me, you've forgotten? Hmm... Go back to sleep so you will be wide awake tomorrow."
Kurapika got up from the mattress and go near Kuroro, he pulled his coat downward and said, "Tell me what happened after I've gone unconscious, did I create a ruckus?"
'Yes, you sure did.'
"Don't worry. After you're unconscious, I ordered the rest to retreat and here we are, in the base."
"Souka... " said Kurapika with a relief.
"That's bothering you so much?"
"Yes. I thought I've place everyone in danger." he said with quite a blush shown in his face.
At that, Kuroro allowed his mind to smile a little.'He still have this much emotion?' immediately, without him even realizing, he thought: 'cute'.
'This may be the first time I failed, but it's not like I'll stop halfway. I'll come look for it again when given chances.'
"Kuroro?" the blonde called his name when the raven-haired man put on a serious expression.
"Yes?"
"Something bothering you?"
"Nothing in particular. Now, let's go to sleep." and as his words end, both of them decide on who'll sleep on the mattress and on the couch. Which result is obvious with Kurapika sleeping on the bed and Kuroro on the couch.
Time ticked by on the clock, as if it was a race. The night was quiet, with everyone sleeping peacefully. Well, at least some did. Feitan, Machi and Kuroro- those gifted with sharp hearing- were bolting out of their beds when a tingle and an odd feeling arose their suspicions that an intruder was in the area.
'Enemies?' they thought.
The three of them went out of the room and went outside the building, by the time they've locate where the presence came from, an explosive came out from the dark and explode in front of their very eyes. Using the explosives as baits, they tried to flee quickly. A pair of hands grabbed them both, appearing out of nowhere, as fast as lightning. Feitan. He was almost dragging them back before the other threw him another explosive. It exploded loudly, clouding Feitan's vision with blurry mist. His grasp slipped, freeing the intruders.
"Ckk... There's two of them." said Feitan, feeling irritated.
"You want to play hide and seek?" said Machi.
"Then, we'll come for you." added Kuroro.
The three of them activated In to monitor and sense their surrounding to help them locate where the intruders are, since it's already dark, their eyesight wont be of any use.
They've searched from room to room and haven't found them. 'They're good at hiding, don't they?' thought Feitan.
All at a sudden, an explosion was heard at the edge of the building and the three of them ran there. Behind the smoke, they could see two shadows standing.
"I give up... Rika. I couldn't find it..."
"So, do I. Then we have no choice, let's ask them."
The two men stepped out to face them, revealing their faces as they tilted their sharp-angled chins upwards.
It's revealed that noth of them wore the same type of clothing: blue T-shirt with black jacket and jeans, more like a ... uniform? They wore a necklace that catches Kuroro's attention.
"Who are you?" asked Kuroro/
"We? we are the treasure hunter."
"And what are the treasure hunter doing here?" said Feitan.
"Sorry to introduce ourselves late. I'm Gaou and this is my twin, Rika. We came here searching for a Gem."
"Ow? The Hunter Association sent you here?"
"Association? haha, of course not. We don't work for them, we followed our own will to work for our beloved master." Said Rika.
"Mind telling me who your 'master' is?"
"Across my dead body! Maybe I'll reconsider it if you tell us where the Gem is located!"
That time, everyone had the same thought coming across their minds. 'Gem? Do they mean The Crystal Jade? If so, why do they find it here?'
Without them realizing, time had flew by to two A.M. as they kept on the constant 'friendly' fighting- blows delivered, punches flown and curses multered urder breathe. The twin; surprisingly, were agile and managed to dodge Machi's strings. Panting, Feitan's hand drew his blade and started to run faster towards the twins, gaining his speed. Having left deep marks on their faces, the twins had labeled him as 'the dangerous one'. The attempted futile dodges, fearing his attacks.
'Do not fight recklessly. Value your own life.'
Kuroro, on the other hand, remained on one side, carefully analizing the battle. He'd usually let his spider members to handle fights, there's no need for him to waste any effort. When Feitan increased his speed and come across Rika, the boy was terrified. Feitan swing his swords and Rika did a reflex of dodging it again, the sword cut his necklace instead.
'Fiuh, that was close.' he thought.
The necklace fell in front of Kuroro, the raven-haired man bent and examine the necklace thoroughly. 'I've seen this somewhere...'
He came to think that the necklace's Ruby resembles that of the ring he gave Kurapika.
The twin are having difficulties handling Feitan and Machi. So serious that they've forgot the other intention of coming there.
The twins plunged their hands deep into their pockets and, in unison, threw the bombs directly towards their opponents. By the time it exploded, they were already running across to exit. Feitan coughed away the smoke and, though his eyes burning with the unbearable sting of the mist, he gripped both of them hard.
'If you fail to find the gem...'
"Heh..." Gaou grinned. "You caught my right hand, but I still have my left hand!"
He took out a different bomb, they used earlier and throw it to the person in front of them, Kuroro. Kuroro successfully dodged it, but it doesn't end there. Once the bomb exploded, there will be multiples of missiles coming out from it, the missiles will explode once it reach the target.
"That's the special-made bomb given to us by Danma-sama."
'If you fail to find the Gem, you're next mission is to kill Kuroro Lucifer.'
DDUUAARR!
The sound is loud enough to wake the sleeping members and also Kurapika. They ran towards the place where the sound came from and found Feitan with his hands covered with thick blood, he must have killed the twin.
Whipping their heads around, they saw their leader splayed out across the floor. His face was twisted, as if he were experiencing pain and didn't know what or how to deal with it. His pants were torn at certain points, exposing fresh wounds where the missiles had struck him in. Blood soaked his trousers. His chest had a blooming red where one of the missiles had striked him.
Kurapika, who was behind the other members, saw Kuroro's condition and a sudden pain strike his chest.
"Ughh..." His breath goes harsher...
'What's this... My chest, it hurts...'
They were too busy focusing on Kuroro, and Kuroro in his wounds, that when the necklace Kuroro had held onto had mysteriously disappeared, no one blinked an eye or noticed. All around them, the leaves had started to slice around, ripping into twos it swirled the air, as if a wind had spun them around. Something heavy hung in the air as the moon-shaped green, dry leaves whirlpooled around. Something intense. Something elusive. Like the trail of a something. Like an energy in the air, stinging bright electrically.
"Good work, Gaou, Rika. So that's how it is. This is getting interesting."
Grinned.
