Chapter 5 - Troubles Within

In the previous chapter, The slayer Asurina confronted Saihara for the very first time. After Saihara retreated away, Asurina revealed her true face to Kurapika. He blames her for not returning back in the Kurta clan for 10 years ago and she explained everything to him, then she comforted him, vowing that she was hired in order to protect him from Saihara. A moment when, Tom and Jerry along with Gon and the others, and Kurapika introduced her to them, making Jerry was suspicious on her strangeous behavior so later that night, he asked assistance from Gon, in order to keep eye on her while the celebration was on going. But then, Jerry was surprised when he heard the phone conversation between Asurina and the other one, named Nai, who demanded her to surrender Kurapika to him, just for the Phantom Troupe, however she refused and he said that he will kidnapped Kurapika if she doesn't surrender, making Jerry was shocked in grief, who was hiding behind the wall.

So that moment, he contact Gon on the cell phone, who was on the other side of the fifth wall.

" Hello, Gon? Are you still there? "

He picked up his phone, and asked " Yes, Jerry? I'm still here at the back wall. So.. what's now? "

" Big terrible trouble I heard. I got a bad feeling. "

" Bad feeling? of what? "

" I feel that Asurina was not an enemy. "

" She's not an enemy?! "

" Yes and I think she was called by a mysterious person who was also a fellow slayer, named Nai I think. "

" I see but what he wants from her? "

" That person demands her to surrender Kurapika to him. "

" demands to surrender Kurapika to him? But why? "

" I don't know and I think it was might the possibility to take revenge against the Phantom Troupe, the main enemies of Kurapika. I think he has connections with that group. "

" I don't really understand of what you say but I think that Kurapika will be in danger that we expected with. That slayer was actually an ally with us. "

" Yeah, I think so too but you have to called Killua and Leorio about this. "

" You got it "

They put down their phones on their pockets and they went together in the room where the celebration was still on going. Upon they arrived inside, they are hurriedly went to the second table in which Killua, Leorio and Tom were sat in.

" Guys! " Jerry yelled

" pal, where you have been? " Tom asked

" So.. what do you guys taking so long for hours? You two had already missed the program. " Killua asked

" We had a terrible trouble, guys. " Jerry said

" terrible trouble? What do you mean? " Leorio asked

Gon whispered to them " Jerry had heard the conversation between that Asurina and the other person who was named Nai, a fellow slayer too. He demands her to give Kurapika to him, in order to take revenge for the Phantom Troupe. "

" But.. the Phantom Troupe was already defeated a months ago. " Killua stated

" That's why I tell you this that Asurina was not an enemy, she was allied with us. " Jerry said

" So.. where she is now? " Leorio asked

" She was still outside. I'm hoping she was okay. " Jerry said

" So.. are you telling that Kurapika will be in danger state? " Leorio asked

" Exactly, that's why we have to stay sharp before that slayer arrives in. " Gon said in a rush

" Don't you think Kurapika knows about this? " Killua asked

" No, not yet. We have to make a move immediately. " Jerry commanded

" But how we gonna make a move when the celebration was still on going? " Tom asked in confusion

" I got an idea. " Jerry said, insisted

" What's it? " Gon asked

Later at the backstage, Kurapika was anxiously waiting for Asurina to returned back. The other bodyguards were noticed his expression.

" Is something wrong, Kurapika? " Basho asked

" Don't tell me it was Miss Asurina, wasn't it? I guess you are so worried about her, don't you? " Neon asked, embarrassed

" Will you mind? " he protested, turns back and walked back slowly

The other bodyguards were wondering in curious.

" What's the matter with him? " Basho asked

" I don't know. I think he was so very worried about Miss Asurina. He had never act like that since she came here. " Melody stated

" The interim leader was seems to be lucky to have a lady love just like her. I'm so jealous. " Neon said

" I hope he was getting fine out there. " Melody said

At the other side, Kurapika was walked alone at the entrance door of the employees room. As he about to entered the room, a mysterious gas fog was surrounded the entire room.

" What is this? " he wondered

A moment of seconds, he was began to feeled dizzy and then he closes his eyes and after that he fainted on the floor, unconscious. Then suddenly, a mysterious group members, went in the room, saw the unconscious Kurapika.

" Are you sure that was him? " the first member asked

" Of course, the chain user who had defeated the Phantom Troupe a months ago. " the leader replied

" So.. what we gonna do to him? " the second member asked

" I had a better plan for him but first, we must to lured that slayer into our trap. " the leader said then it laughed in evil expression

Then, they leaved out the room, carried him unconscious. A hour later, Tom and Jerry went in, to check on him along with Melody.

" Are you sure that he stays here? " Tom asked

" Of course, he stays there when he comes to work. " Melody stated

" Oh, I see. He was so very hardworking when it comes to like this. " Jerry said

" You two quite close friends to him. I never thought that animals should be friends with human beings. " Melody stated

" That was true friendship for, just like Gon and Killua, but we are still in one team. " Tom said

They opened the door but suddenly they were shocked in surprised that Kurapika had went missing.

" What's going on?.. " Jerry uttered

" He's not here.. but why?... " Tom wondered

Gon, Killua and Leorio arrived at the scene, was shocked in surprised too when they saw the incident.

" No way..! He's gone? " Gon wondered in surprise

" How it was happened? " Killua wondered

Suddenly, Asurina arrived in, rushing in a hurry.

" What's happened here? " she asked

Jerry turns back and said " Oh, I'm so glad that you are here. "

" Bad news, Kurapika was been taken away but we don't know how it was happened. " Tom said to her

She was shocked in surprised when her face turned anger in rage " I knew it... "

" knew of what? " Gon asked

" It was Nai's plan. He wanted to destroyed him, in order to gained revenge for the Phantom Troupe. I really refused to surrender but he keeps demanding on me because he knows about my relationship with Kurapika. " Asurina stated

Then, Killua began suddenly to realized the idea she said and he said in response to her " I get it now. It was possibility that Nai person has the intention to destroyed you, not only Kurapika. It might be that he actually planned for a long time since Kurapika defeated the Phantom Troupe a months ago. He act harshly towards you because of your instant closeness with him and he thinks on his mind that revenge was the only option to destroyed you and Kurapika. That's the reason why he was in danger right now. "

" You got the point, Killua. You are really genius that much. " Tom said, amazed

" Because my family were experts in killing techniques. I knew everything about every behavior of a person who you are facing to, even an ally or an enemy. " Killua stated

" So.. what's the plan now? How we gonna rescued him? " Leorio asked

Suddenly, her cellphone was ringing on her pocket.

" Right away then... "

She picked up and she opened it then she answered in response " Hello? Who's this? "

But no one is responding

" Hello? Who is this? answered me! " she said again

That when, the voice of Kurapika was heard on the phone. Tom, Jerry and the others were shocked in surprised when her too.

" Is that you, Kurapika? Where are you? " Asurina asked

" I was been chased by some group of men, who had tried to captured me and to brought to an unknown building or something. " Kurapika stated

" So.. where are you now? " Asurina asked

" You have to hurry, they are going to after me so quickly... please... " Kurapika said, as he about to cry

" Okay, I'll be right there. I will go along with Tom, Jerry and the others including your friends. Just wait for me, okay? Just stay where you are and don't make a move so that they will never notice you, got that? " Asurina told him

" I understand, Asurina. I was in under an old bridge at the east side. " Kurapika said

" Okay, just wait for me until I get there, okay? " Asurina told him again

" I will " Kurapika answered

After that, she placed back her phone to her pocket.

" We have to get hurry and fast. Those men of Nai are still searching for him around. " Asurina told them

" We got it, Asurina. " Gon said

" You are really his childhood friend that much. " Leorio said

" What are we waiting for? Let's go! " Jerry shouted

The group went out of the hotel, to searched for Kurapika, in order that the men didn't get him captured. On the other hand at the under an old bridge, Kurapika was standing on those old walls, and he heard the men's voices at the top of the bridge, still searching for him.

" Where is he? " the first man asked

" Just keeped searching. We can't let him escaped further or else he will called help from his friends. Our boss wanted him for real. " the leader told them

" but he has weapon on his hands... his chains were quite dangerous. " the second man said

" Keep moving! " the leader told them

" Yes, Sir! " the men said in response

They keep on to searched for him around the bridge, while Kurapika, was still hiding, was afraid that if they found him. He will get captured for real.

" What they want from me? I didn't do anything so badly... and who is their boss was? and how he knows about me? It could possible that I was Asurina's childhood friend? or there is something else that I didn't know about.. but why? " he thought

But suddenly, loud footsteps were heard from afar. Kurapika turns his back and he asked in a loud voice " Who is that in there? "

That when, a sound of grinning was heard from the distance.

" Hold on.. come out! I'm not afraid of you! " he shouted, then he released his chain weapon

The voice was respond to him " Is that's very surprising, chain user? "

Then he began to realize of the voice " No way... it couldn't be.. is that... "

The person, stepped out from the shadows, walked slowly in front of him, face to face.

" I never thought that I will meet you again, chain user Kurapika. " the person said

He turned his back to him, said in a serious expression " It was really you, former number 4... Hisoka.. I never expected that you are hiding here in this place. "

" Well, I said that in the same way. A hunter shouldn't be get in an unfamiliar place like this. " Hisoka said, holding a card from his hand

" So... what do you want anyway? Are you came here for a fight? " Kurapika asked

" Anyway.. I didn't came here to fight you or to your friends Gon and Killua. I had came here for one purpose. " Hisoka stated

" What's it? " Kurapika asked

" I came here to destroyed the former slayer. " Hisoka said in response

" former slayer? What are you talking about? " Kurapika asked him again and he thought again in his mind " Don't he thinks it was Asurina?! No way... It couldn't be... "

" So.. will you helped me to find it? I'm sure that you know where they are hiding somewhere. I perspected to work with you, that's all. " Hisoka requested

And his mind was began in dilemma, thought that he might be after Asurina and to finished her as well, and also he afraid that he will lose her for real.

" So.. what is your response, Kurapika? Will you helped me out to tracked down the criminal? " Hisoka asked

Then, he was silent for a moment, nodded his head.
