Kyriak thought for a moment before nodding in understanding, she could do that, she just have to turn up tomorrow before the auction begins. "Will you be here?"
"No, I'm off to see my other brother. He got himself tackled with a poacher's ring. Needs some backup. I was just staying to see you devil spawn"
"it's a plan!" grinned the young teen. She couldn't wait till tomorrow.
Shame how nothing ever goes to plan.
It was safe to say. Killua and gon didn't fine Kyriak in the end. And they had tried, dead into the night and the day morning after, resailing they couldn't contact the young female by her phone. The pair had decided to keep an eye out for the vermillion colour hair and continue with their plan.
Earn more monies, before the day of the greed game auction.
In fact, in was the girl who found the troublesome pair first, A DAY after vanishing. Along with another friend. "leorio! Hi!" she jumped before the walking group surprising the older teen. Who appeared to jump high into the air like a startled cat.
The group of three male were just exiting the building after coming up with an excellent plan to earn some quick cash and hopefully lead to the pot of gold.
"y-you!" leorio stuttered, pointing a finger as the girl in surprise. "w-hy don't jump out of nowhere!" the older teen exclaimed, readjusting his tie ignoring a grinning gon and sniggering killua. The pair instantly moving, flocking to the girls' sides – killua reaching out to grip onto the girls' hands. He wasn't going to lose the girl again in the giant city.
At least not till he inputted his new number into the girl's phone, maybe even a tracking devise or two...
Kyriak stuck her tongue out in retaliation. "What are you doing?" she questioned the group of three.
"Making some quick cash!" leorio grinned leading down towards the shorter female. "You don't happen to have a diamond ring on you, do you?"
"Diamond ring?" she tilted her head, going over her inventory. Her spare hand hiding in the folds of her flowery long-sleeved kimono. She let her Nen shift the tattoo forming away from the naked eye. Within a moment, she pulled out a delicate piece.
A diamond ring, with a Celtic twisted sliver gold to hold the small gem in place. "Will this do?"
Three pairs of eyes zoned in on the magical piece, the group could easier sense the Nen drifting from the piece of Jewely.
"Sugio!" gon exclaimed eyes sparkling at the sight.
"You had that hidden up there all this time?!" shouted leorio earning the attention from the city dwellers rushing past the standing group. (Later down the line, the girls Nen were explained to the older teen)
"That's a diamond? You can feel the power coming off it..." mutters killua leaning closer to the girl holding the diamond ring. He hadn't seen much of her creations – never finished anyhow. The assassin was surprise thought hid it under his calm mask as he looked at the piece. Once again wondering if she'd ever make him something.
Leorio grinned, picking up the girl and ring in one swoop. "This is perfect! Let's go earn some cash!" the older teen yelled, racing ahead into the crowd, a grinning gon and scowling killua following.
Killua would never admit it, but he wanted to kill leorio in that moment for touching something that was his. He also would never admit to the slim that had appeared in the older teen's shoes in the upcoming mornings.
-x-x-x-
Kyriak watched with interest, fingers twitching ever so slightly around the diamond ring being here aloft for the surrounding crowds to see.
The sliver net standing idly besides her, sapphire hues spying the large crowd and glancing at the girl ever so often.
The changed was simple. Paid a small enough to entre and beat gon at an arm-wrestled competition. If you won, you got the diamond ring.
So far after a 150 people or so, no one had beaten the young teen in a battle of strength – earning them a very healthily profit.
The was a movement in the crowd. As the next contender stepped forward. Sliver hues snapped towards the figure. Head tilted slightly – the figure since familiar, or maybe it was the aura around the walking female.
Dark haired with a pair of glasses resting on her nose. A turtleneck and golden chain with a cross making the women appear innocent and inconspicuous. Like the women couldn't hurt a fly. Kyriak tilted her head, watching the women sit and take gons arm.
It was a long tense few minutes as the pair battled it out – kyriak squinted eyes focusing on the natural Nen the pair was naturally giving off.
The crowd let out a breath of air they didn't know they were holding as the female contender's hand hit the table. Gon had won once again. Kyriak glanced from the slightly sweating gon and the pouting female.
Interesting...
"You really had to try hard, didn't you?" killua asked grinning gon. For the first time tonight, he had to try to win the match. He was happy for it. Though very surprised at the outcome. She'd almost beat him. A Nen user maybe? Nevertheless, the female was strong. Nen or not.
As gon and the boys talked, waiting for the next contender, the youngest teen blinked, feeling her phone go off.
Passing the ring to a curious killua she looked at the device before frowning. "ahhhhh..." she mumbled.
"what's up?" killua question, looking over the girl's shoulder at the device.
"I gonna go to the auction... I'm late. I was supposed to meet up with the auctioneers like ten minutes ago..."
She pouted, glancing at the boys and the phone. "Wait..." killua muttered taking the phone from the young female, quickly typing in the deceive and sending himself a text. "There is my number, I text you where we are staying and when we get back"
Kyriak blinked, staring from her phone now in her hands and back to the assassin. A smile breaking out on her face. "Thanks! I'll message you when I'm done, if I remember" the vermillion haired girl waving goodbye. Before darting into the crowd. Her geta's clatching on the ground as she sped towards the auction house.
Hopefully she wasn't too late.
The auction hall was quite as she stepped into the building – the halls deserted. She shrugged the girl thinking that the auction was in progress, seeing how she was very late. The young hunter, dunked into a side entrance. Retracing the steps papa, and bill had taken her many times before. With a few turns, a frowned donned her lips – there was usually at least one people walking the halls to the backrooms. Where were the guards?
She turned a corner, sliver hues glancing about in search for any sigh of life. Not even a scent lingered in the hallway. Strange. The young craftsmen shrugged turning towards a large set of black doors. The doorway at least twice her size to cater for the different items that would be on auction.
The heavy doors shut loudly behind her, humming she skip forwards eyes adjusting to the dark as she headed to the vault to place her goods. She blinked spotting a strange looking group of people, only for a grin to appear on her face.
"Mr giant!" kyriak yelled, jumping onto the giant of a caveman.
"Tiny person!" Uvogin grinned back giving the girl a bear hug, a wild grin growing on his face.
Kyriak pouted, "I am not tiny! You're just a giant"
"Ha! What are you doing here?" the older man grinned, at girl, placing her back on her feet while the others looked on curiously.
"I'm selling stuff, I got told to bring it here for the auction as" she dropped her voice to a whisper, bringing her hand to her mouth, "a rumour gone round that folks are gonna steal stuff" she didn't notice the glances exchanged behind the talking pair. "I was supposed to dropped stuff off, but there's no one here. They all disappeared did I miss the auction? Are you here for it?"
"Yeah, could say that... auction cancelled though"
"It cancelled?" kyriak tilted her head before nodding. hitting the palm of her hand with her fist. "That must be why it was empty..." her eyes drifted up the ceiling. "What to do now..." she muttered, before turning to the giant caveman. "How is ponytail sword doing?"
"Nobu sword, you gotta say thanks to Thorin for it! And your suggestions have worked a treat"
Kyriak grinned, "I'm glad! I have SOOO many ideas... since this has been cancelled, I can make more stuff!"
"Off you trot tiny people"
She pouted, crossing her arms over her chest, "I'm not tiny!" she stuck out her tongue at the taller man, "see you later Mr giant!"
Uvogin grinned watched the girl leave. "don't Fei" he spoke quietly with a slightly growl noting the movement of the male.
"Why not?"
"I really don't want Thorin Emberly after us because we harmed his daughter. She's a good asset to have no good turns with us" he spoke with seriousness. "And who do you think fixes your sword"
Feiten tched before turning to the job at hand. "at least she gave us some information" the small male mumbled.
"we've seen her before..." franklin stared blankly turning towards the empty vault before them.
"We have I don't remember?"
The giant grey skinned man, glanced towards the glasses wearing women. "don't worry about it"
