HxH: Fraternal Twins

Chapter 4: Enlightenment

"BAAAAKAAAAA! You don't go telling strangers where you're from!" Ruby scolded with a strict risen tone. She and Rui were walking down the sidewalk not far from the restaurant. Rui trailed behind her twin like a little lost puppy as Ruby angrily stomped a few inches ahead of her.

Both twins were silent for a few minutes until Rui broke it. "Ruby... If I told him, we could have had our chance to ask him if he could save us from SGSF... Along with the other captives... We can't stay on the run forever...." Rui spoke with mourn lacing her voice. Ruby looked over her shoulder from the corner of her eye at her twin, with an intense glare from her yellow eyes; she looked back ahead with no change in expression.

"Rui... We don't know if he's a good guy or a bad guy... I've heard of assassins, rogues, and honor-bound ninjas, and on top of that, mercenaries... I don't want to take the chance of running into them... They would most likely kill us," Ruby sternly spoke with still, no change in her expression.

"H-...Hai..." Rui replied grievously while gazing down at her feet, as she waltzed behind her sister.

Illumi sat there after paying for the meal, he was staring into space pondering as to why they refused to answer his simple questions. In the middle of his deep thought, his phone rang. His hand reached into his pocket to grab the phone and answered it.

"Yes, Milluki...? Did you find anything?" As he sat there listening to his younger brother, he was asked to come and see him, quickly. He nodded with a simple sure coming from him before he ended the call, then stood up from his chair and walked outside of the restaurant; in a flash, he disappeared without a trace.

Right after he had vanished, Hisoka came walking by the restaurant with one of Ruby's feathers at hand and a huge grin across his face. He could feel Ruby's aura not too far from him and could also tell that she was angry by something considering the rise in her nen; thus he picked his pace up a bit to try and catch up to the twins

Ruby and Rui both were looking at an advertisement poster that said Heaven's Arena on it, which made both twins form an idea in their heads.

"Oi, wanna earn some quick cash?" Asked Ruby, as she kept her gaze upon the poster.

"Sure!" Rui approved gleefully while looking at her twin then looked back at the board with a huge grin on her face. She was excited to fight because when she fights, she plays instead... She loves to play.

Ruby sighed from her reaction, thinking to herself of how childish she was. There is absolutely no limit to her immaturity... Ruby said in her head before turning toward the direction the heaven's arena was in only to face-plant into a man's chest. The guy appeared gazing at the board behind her, causing Rui to stand there staring quizzically.

Ruby looked up, though, during that instant of seeing that grin on that man's face, she knew right then and there who that man was; he was a couple of inches taller than her and Rui.
