Hey it's me again and I am back to tell you more about my story, eh… I made some corrections on the first chapter, so the Phantom Troupe doesn't know he is a specialist just to tell you guys. How embarrassing that I forgot that they didn't know about that except for Uvogin who is now dead. Heh, well anyways I hope it will be to your taste my friends so now here you go, chapter 2!
Yeah I don't have much stuff to say…
Ch.2: Hide and go Seek Kurapika…
Waiting at the front gate of the Nostrades house stood two boys, one with black hair in green shirt and shorts and the other white with a plain tang top and blue shorts, playing rock-paper-scissor.
"I WON! Now you have to do 200 push-ups Killua!" said Gon.
Angry about losing, Killua started to do push-ups, "How long is it going to take for Leorio to get here? I'm getting tired waiting." Killua retorted. Then Killua saw a figure running towards them, a man who looked like in his 20s but actually younger than that, which made Killua quickly finished doing the push-ups.
"There he is Killua! Leorio is here now." Gon reply as Leorio was walking now closer to them.
"You waited for me? I hope it wasn't too long." said Leorio feeling bad about it and was scratching the backside of his head while having a big smile on his face.
"Oh no, it's ok because Gon was scared to go in there with just us two." Said Killua sounding sarcastic.
"What? No I wasn't Killua; I just wanted to wait for Leorio." Gon replied back to Killua's statement confused and Killua slap his face as Gon didn't get that he was being sarcastic.
"Well enough chit chat I want to find out about what happen to Kurapika. So who is gonna ring the bell?" Leorio reply, but both Gon and Killua step back once and looked at Leorio intended for him to ring it.
"Hey how come I have to do it?" Leorio retorted angrily about it.
"Well for one thing you're older than us and because you were late, besides it's not like anything dangerous gonna happen." reply Killua.
Leorio was about to burst out arguing with Killua until the gate opened, "What are you guys doing out here I was wondering when you guys would come in." said Melody.
"Oh hello Melody we were waiting for Leorio and now that he is here, we were about to come in right away." said Gon giving a grin.
"Well come in, boss would like to tell you three about Kurapika." said Melody.
Melody looked at them and explains to them that Neon was the girl that they were protecting and that her father was obviously the man that hired them.
"I thought Kurapika told you about this?" Melody replies as they were now walking into the house into a spacious hallway. All three of them looked at each other and wasn't sure if he did tell them about it, "um… no?"
Melody giggles at the fact of how their hearts gave a funny but yet at the same pace rhythm when they answer her.
"Is that Kurapika's friends Melody?" said a girl with blue hair sitting on a couch that was across from and empty one.
Gon, Killua, and Leorio sat on the opposite one from Neon as Melody went and stand behind the one Neon was sitting on.
"Just to tell you three, Melody was the one that wanted to call you guys not me. I was just going to tell you that Kurapika was acting weird the last time I saw him.' Neon retort.
Leorio was about to say something but got interrupt by Gon, "Kurapika was acting weird? How was he acting weird before he vanish?"
Melody answer, "Well I saw him look like he was in pain when I enter the room he was in that has a big window that he always looks through. Also including the part that the rhythm of his heart was disturb by something."
After hearing this Killua spoke, "Well what else was there? Neon you have something to tell us don't you?" Killua was now suspecting that she was not telling her part of the story.
Neon sat there quietly until she replied, "Yes I do have something to tell you…" and she told everything that happen when she bumped into Kurapika at the time. Considering what they heard they were very worry and so was Melody now.
"Kuroro Lucifer, isn't that the name of the leader of the Phantom Troupe? They must've done some thing to Kurapika!" Leorio said as he got up suddenly. "Sit down you idiot and do you even see any damages to the house? So no, it wasn't the Phantom Troupe at least not yet, maybe that was the reason why he left." Killua said calmly while still sitting down.
"But why is that a reason Killua?" Gon was even more confuse and was about to burn out from listening to all this news.
"Don't you remember Gon? During our time in Greed Island we called Kurapika about Kuroro and Kurapika said he would have known if Kuroro has destroyed the chain placed in his heart." Killua said feeling proud of remembering that.
"AH! You're right Killua that must be the reason why Kurapika left then. But did he go to chase after them again?" Gon sounded concern now and was about to say some more stuff until there was a big noise at the gate entrance.
*BAM*
"What was that Melody?!" Neon got up and was frightened with the sudden sound.
Gon, Killua, and Leorio got up, preparing for whoever has attacked to come. Listening to the foot steps of the intruders Melody told Neon to hide as the foot steps was getting closer and closer as they were going around the house looking for something, "Be careful Gon, Killua, Leorio, even though it is only one person, he is very strong… and not only that but the man is kuroro." Melody was getting a nervous now and was trying to cover her ears as she didn't want to hear the rhythm that belongs to Kuroro again.
"Melody you should take Neon and her father away from this place instead…" Killua reply, "That would be a good idea and it would be less dangerous."Gon replied agreeing to Killua's idea.
"Be careful you three."Melody took Neon by the hand and out the window of the room, heading to Neon's father's room now while trying to not get notice by Kuroro.
*WHAM* the door flew open and a man with black hair that was pulled back enters the room, "He's not here either…" said the man.
"Now!" said Gon and all three of them jump at Kuroro but Kuroro was too fast for them and jump back out of the room. But to only find out that they too got out of the room and started to run.
"Interesting instead I found his friends here instead of him; they might know where he is." And Kuroro started to run after them.
Running away from Kuroro, Killua whispered to Gon and Leorio, "Why is he alone! Never mind that, let's meet up again at Yorknew City. But we're gonna have to take different routes got it?" Gon and Leorio nod their heads and disperse when they got to the gate entrance.
Kuroro stopped to think, "…Hmm who should I go after?" and was about to go after Killua until he heard a girl's squeak behind him, Kuroro turned around to look but didn't see anyone.
"… I know you're there, I'm not stupid and this time I won't be gentle as last time." And Kuroro started to walk towards the direction of where the squeak came from.
…
Meanwhile Kurapika happens to meet someone he didn't want to see;
In the soundless forest early at dawn, Kurapika was training his nen under a tree until he heard a rustle. Kurapika acted instantly with his chains where the rustling was at and something came out, which turns out to be a person who Kurapika made a distasteful look at.
"Hisoka… what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be looking for people to fight with?" Kurapika was in a defensive stance while waiting for the man to reply back to him.
"Well I didn't expect to find you Kurapika, I though you were someone else." Said the man making a eerie smile across his face.
"Sure Hisoka… so how was you're fight with that man?" Kurapika retort.
Hisoka lean his head one way and continue to smile, "What are you talking about Kurapika? I have no idea what you're saying." Kurapika's eyes were starting to flash scarlet until he stops himself.
"I meant Kuroro; you obviously helped him find a nen exorcist didn't you? Did you… kill him?" Kurapika replied a little stupid saying the last part.
(Oh, aren't you so impatience to find out about Kuroro my unripe fruit and of course you are correct about everything else besides the killing part.) Hisoka thought to himself.
"Well you can go check on him yourself." He finally answered back to Kurapika's question.
"I will soon, after I finish searching for someone…" Kurapika took a step back while Hisoka took one step closer to him.
(I need to find my master, but how the heck am I going to get away from this man? Maybe I should attack him? No that won't do, the best option would to run again.) Kurapika thought. But then he came up with a plan and decided to go with it even though there was a chance Hisoka might end up attacking him.
Kurapika took a deep breath and spoke, "Well if you didn't kill him did that mean Kuroro won the fight, Hisoka?"
Hisoka then gave Kurapika a deadly look in the eyes, "What did you just say Kurapika I don't think I heard you clearly." He started to show his eerie smile again and was moving closer and closer to Kurapika.
"I'm pretty sure you heard me clearly Hisoka…" Kurapika was ready for an attack any minute but Hisoka stop moving closer to Kurapika.
(Ah, I can't take it anymore! Maybe I'll damage him just a little bit.) Hisoka was now embracing himself before he responds back.
"You're right Kurapika I did hear you say it, I just wanted to hear you say it once more." And Hisoka darted towards Kurapika and he took out his cards.
Although Kurapika was prepared, he was a little astonished and couldn't block all of Hisoka's cards and got hit on his right shoulder. Because of that, Kurapika barely withstood the impact of Hisoka's body when they got into contact and he felt Hisoka's breathing heavily near his neck. Kurapika shiver when he felt it and then suddenly made a painful scream as he gave Hisoka a powerful kick in the stomach and started to run.
(It worked!) Kurapika said to himself and was now covering his injury while running.
"Hmm so you want to play Tag, huh Kurapika?" saying that he went and pursue after Kurapika.
Looking behind him now, Kurapika notice the trail of blood, "Shit!" and stop when he got to the point where the path broke into two.
Humming now Hisoka was following the trail of blood, "What's this?" frustrated, Hisoka didn't know which way to go as the trail of blood stopped at the break of two paths.
"Hmm, there is only one huge puddle of blood here…now which path should I chose? Then again that he could still be here, well I guess we're playing hide and go seek Kurapika." Hisoka chuckle and went to the left path and was gone.
An hour later a figure came out of the bushes, "Great now I'll just have to head back to town and get this treated before Hisoka or the Phantom Troupe gets to me." Kurapika went back the other way.
(Did he even use en? If he did, he left on purpose? Well as long as I was able to get away from him that's good.) Kurapika thought as he was heading back to town at the moment.
Lying on his bed now, Kurapika close his eyes until his phone started to ring.
He got up and look at the phone, wasn't sure if he should pick it up or not.
"Hello?" Kurapika said cautiously.
"Is this the Kuruta boy?" Said a man's voice.
Kurapika pause as he heard another voice in the background, "Hey let us go!" It was Leorio's voice.
"This is him." Kurapika was folding his other hand in a fist now as he was listening to what the man had to say.
"You know who I am right? We have your friends..." said the man.
"Don't worry Kurapika! Gon and Killua are still safe; I'll protect Neon and Melody!" Leorio shouted behind again but then Kurapika heard him grunt.
"Yes you are Kuroro and I'll come but… DON'T YOU DARE HIT THEM AGAIN!" Kurapika's eyes were now turning scarlet and he couldn't stop it. But he then remembers his injury and spoke again, "But give me two days to rest…"
"Did something happen to you?" Kuroro asked curious.
"IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" Kurapika shouted, but then he heard another grunt from Leorio.
"-tsk- Ok, ok, I got injured by Hisoka early, there happy?" Kurapika was unsatisfied with how this man was forcing him to talk.
"Very well, you have two days to rest until then we won't hurt your friends." And Kuroro hung up.
Kurapika punch the wall irritably muttering, "Don't do anything stupid Leorio, until I find my master in these two days…"
