We move to another room where, where the three of us could be alone.
I peer over to look at Gon, seeing lose his previous smile.
"Don't worry I'm sure you will find your one." I speak up, startling Gon in the process.
He shakes his head in response "It's not that... it's that... I just hope Kurapika's fever doesn't break."
I let go of Killua, hearing Killua respond to Gon in shock "Yeah... Wait, did you just say what I think you said?"
I nod "I think he just said he hopes Kurapika doesn't recover... why's that?"
Gon objects "I didn't mean it like that. It's just... Kurapika shouldn't fight the Troupe anymore. I thought of something when Kurapika told me about his powers. If he'd just wanted revenge, he would have chosen different abilities."
I look curiously at Gon, listening to Killua's response "Really?"
Gon thinks out loud "If he'd only wanted to kill them, he wouldn't have gone through all that trouble to chain their hearts."
Killua retorts "Maybe if he only had one target. But Kurapika's dealing with the entire Troupe. Even if he captures one, he can't kill them right away. And he needs to extract information about the other members."
"Oh..." Gon responded absent minded.
I look over to Killua, putting in my two cents "Killua's right... Kurapika's abilities were designed to leave the spider maimed, unable to walk or revive. Basically what I'm trying to say is... His abilities were designed to disable the abilities of the Spider, making sure that they could never be revived. Think about it, he set rules to designate someone unable to uses Nen. Kurapika wants to make sure that the spiders... are unable to do what they did to his clan to anyone else. It's would be considered the ultimate torture to them."
I lift up my finger, continuing to add "Gon, he just doesn't want to kill the spider. He wants to make sure that it never lives on..."
Gon looks down "Oh..."
I look at Killua "I think personally he could never be a true killer... and I believe he didn't technically kill Uvo."
Gon looks up confused "Huh?"
Killua looks at me quizzically as I continued "Well Kurapika most likely used his Judgement Chain on Uvo, but he most likely wanted to know more about the other spiders and their weaknesses... Uvo didn't want to sell out the other spiders. So... the chain activated and killed him. That's what I think happened..."
Killua thinks for a moment "It could be a possibility..."
I nod, looking at the table "All of it seems speculation and one giant guessing game! Anything could have happen... but that's what I think. But judging by what you've two told me about the members... Either Uvo or Phinks, could have the power to Kill Nathaniel... and I'm leaning more on Uvo. If that's the case, I have no reason to pursue the spiders..."
I look up at Killua "But either way I've got other plans on my mind..."
I smile, looking at Gon who's also smiling "Mmhm..."
Killua blushes "No idea what your plans are... it's bad enough what happened last night..."
I frown at Killua as Killua continues "What happens in the bedroom, stays in the bedroom. Except that incident with your father! That was rather unfortunate..."
I smile, speaking in a sarcastic tone "His great like that..."
Killua focuses on Gon "But you do have a point Gon. I'd prefer him to stay still for a while. If their boss doesn't come back, they'll be even more determined to find Kurapika."
Gon nod "Yeah."
"It just means we will have to be extremely careful when we go to the auction house." I muse as Killua nods "Which reminds me..."
Killua runs up to Gon, pointing his finger really close at Gon "Do you REALLY have a plan for obtaining a copy of Greed Island? Your plan is all we have to go on!"
Gon smiles, sweating really badly "Y-Yeah, but it's a fifty-fifty deal."
Killua pouts. Oh FUCK! I want to kiss him so badly... must contain inner girl! Killua is not some cute plushy! He is beautiful and... DOWN BOY!
Killua continues "Originally, didn't you say it had a seventy percent chance?"
Gon nods "Uh-huh... my plan is to approach any of the buyers of Greed Island and ask if we can borrow it... for a bit with their consent of course."
I smile "You know what that actually might work..."
Like never! These games cost what?! 8.9 Billion plus who in their right mind would let three kids borrow it?
Killua nods "I get it... That's clever. Actually, that may be our only shot. Realistic and sound."
I frown "I get it, don't let it get to his head!"
Killua nods "I think it has an eighty percent chance!"
Gon gets, responding really excitedly "Really?"
I sigh "And you let it get to his head..."
Killua nods, wrapping one arm around my back "Yeah! We can make this work."
I blush, slightly looking away "That's great to know you have a bit of faith in me..."
"And you have a bit of jealously showing..."
"I AM NOT JEALOUS!"
Killua smirks "Is that right..." He pats my head, stroking a couple of my hair. A mewl escapes my lips, making us both blush in embarrassment.
I hide my face, pretending that never happened "I should probably get dressed..."
As I get up, Killua points out "Oh! Zephile got us some new suits."
I nod, heading towards the room.
That did not just happen!
Time Skip
At the auction hall, I turn to face Killua, whispering into his ear "You're so lucky we are in the public... You're so damn hot, I'm about to become an Enhancer and rip your clothes off!"
Why did I even say that?!
Killua blushes "Maybe later..."
"Sorry Killua... I don't know what I was saying... Can I kiss you instead?"
"Sure..." Killua blushes as I rob his lips for a moment "Let's get in there!"
As we walk in, Gon thinks out loud "The auction is in Hall B. It should be that way over there."
I nod as we make our way through the hallway.
We step into a large room, set up to be like an Opera house.
Gon exclaims "Wow!"
We make our way down the steps, freezing after seeing two members of the Phantom Troupe.
All five of us exclaim "Huh?"
My dad's going to kill me!
We bolt back out of the room, running through the door, scaring some of the bidders in the process.
As we bolt through the hallways, Gon freaks out "Why the hell are they here?"
Killua retorts "HOW WOULD I KNOW?"
I yell at the both of them "Whatever the reason, Vastorie is going to kill me!"
We stop after being cut off by Phinks. Feitan blocks us from behind as Phinks speaks to us "Hey, that was cold. No need to run away."
I retort "We weren't running! We... were... just going to the toilet, all three of us..."
Killua and Gon freak out as Phinks replies "A likely story..."
You too would be pissing yourself, if you had a father who would kill you, if you broke a promise with him dead or alive!...
Feitan speaks softly "Don't worry. We're not going to kill you."
I freak out, trying to act natural "That's ah good to hear..."
Phinks continues off Feitan "Because we can't kill the chain user now."
Gon retorts "Huh? What do you mean?"
Phinks looks confused at Gon "Huh? Didn't he use his chains on The boss? That means we can't kill him."
Gon responds slightly confused "Why not? Isn't it the other way around?"
I see Killua look at Gon with surprise.
Phinks responds after a few moments of silence "Nen doesn't necessarily disappear after death. Nen that's driven by hatred and regret can persist a long time after death. That Nen will direct itself toward the target of those emotions. Since The boss can no longer use Nen, he could be overwhelmed by that assault. Residual Nen can be quite fearsome. That's why we can't kill the chain u-"
Phinks looks up, stopping to change the topic "So, we're done with you kids... We just came to enjoy the auction. The other members wanted to go home."
As Phinks walks past us, Gon stops him "Um, what happened to Pakunoda-san?"
Phinks turns slowly "She died..."
Gon looks confused "Huh? Oh..."
Phinks stares at us for a while, stopping when Gon interrupts his deep thought process "What's wrong?"
Killua motions to Gon "Let's go."
Phinks interrupts us "Paku... Paku wanted to thank you."
Phinks looks at me in shock "Wait... You're voice... You're the asshole that broke some of the bosses bones!"
I smile "About that..." I crack a couple of fingers "I lied..."
Phinks shakes his head in amusement "You make a great Manipulator... you had my hands tied behind my back in that hostage situation. However... that stunt won't work twice on me!"
Phinks turns back around, walking away with Feitan back to the auction hall.
I turn to Killua "Oh my dad's really going to be pissed...!"
Phinks stops suddenly, turning back around to face us "Oh, and one more thing..." He points two fingers at Killua and myself "I know!"
Phinks turns back around, walking away.
I look into Killua's eye, looking in complete shock at him "Exactly what did you let Pakunoda see?"
Killua freaks "Chrollo asked Pakunoda to see what we were hiding... I was technically hiding you... which means... Ahh!"
I frown "You kidding me! The Phantom Troupe knows I'm in a relationship with Killua Zoldyck!"
I sigh, looking down at the floor "Might as well get a megaphone and announce it, seeing more than half the people know already know, know we are dating... Anyone else you want to tell about us?"
Killua scratches his chin "Ahh... technically my family knows... but more I just told them I may have feelings for you, and that I didn't know if they were really feelings at the time..."
I frown "Great, now I'm going to have a pack of assassin's on my ass!"
Killua retorts "You fathers knew! Why is my family any different?"
I sigh, looking at Killua "I'm not going to say you're wrong there... but there's a slight difference... My parents are embarrassing! You saw what my father was like with the whole harem thing... Your family is just crazy, overprotective crazy! Your mum doesn't want to let you go... god knows what goes through Illumi's mind!"
Killua nods "My Aniki is dangerous..."
I grin "I think I scared him once... but I don't know how I did it at the time. I wasn't exactly myself..."
Killua shrugs "I can't help you there. All I remember is you saying fuck off other than that, I'm in the same boat as you..."
As a crowd walks around a corner, Zephile taps us on the shoulder "Look there... that's your target. The tycoon, Mr. Battera."
I turn to Zephile, asking him a question "So Mr. Battera is the one buying up all the Greed Island games... I wonder why?"
Gon stares in Mr. Battera's direction.
I tap Gon on the shoulder, motion that we should go "Let's go the auction. It should be starting soon for Greed Island."
Gon nods as we walk back into the Opera house room.
Time Skip
The female attendant speaks up, loud and clear "Our next item is the legendary game, Greed Island! Let's take a look at the mysterious power this game contains."
A big guy walks out with a large hammer, raising it above his head. He slams it straight into the game console, destroying the podium it was sitting on.
The crowed looks shocked as I chuckle to myself "Nen tends to have that effect on people who are oblivious..."
The female attendant speaks up "As you can see, there is a mysterious power that protects the console from any damage, as long as someone is playing inside."
The female attendant clicks her fingers, showing an ID pops up on the screen "This man is Jeitsari he is a player who's inside the game at this moment. In fact, he's the one who signed a contract allowing us to auction it off. Jeitsari left behind the following agreement: If we cannot clear this game before the date specified in the contract, seven active players, including myself, will present seven copies of the game and console to the Southern Piece Auction so that our talented young Hunters can clear the game, and fulfil our dream."
The female Attendant pouts "Unfortunately, when we obtained these copies, two already displayed game over screens. That means the player also died in real life. This dangerous game requires that you risk your own life! Make sure you're prepared before you bid. Let's start the bidding at 900 million Jenny!"
The bids begin as Killua freaks out. I turn to look where his looking, spotting a large fat man.
I speak softly to Killua "Who's that, that's got you freaked out?"
Killua whispers in my ear "That's my older brother Milluki..."
I freak out "That fat Otaku?"
Killua freaks "How did you know?"
I whisper in his ear "Because he looks like one of those types that has a hugging pillow of a large endowed woman... Not that I have anything against them..."
Killua continues to glare at his brother from afar as Gon speaks up "So you indicate how much you're bidding with your hand?"
Zephile nods "Yeah, the auctioneer is able to instantly discern the highest bid."
Gon responds confused as he does a thumbs up "What's this?"
The female attendant speaks up "#201 doubles it again, to 24 billion!"
I turn to Gon, looking at his tag "What the hell you think you're doing! We don't have 24 Billion!"
I sigh in relief as Gon gets out bided "Your really lucky Gon!"
Greed Island ends up selling for 30.5 Billion jenny.
I turn to Killua then back to Gon "Well I guess we should go speak to Mr. Battera."
Gon nods as we get up to speak to Mr. Battera.
