Baby Monster

Yorknew City

Luna POV

We were on the road again and I couldn't help wonder if it was normal to travel so much. We were headed to York new City where we were meeting up with Kurapika and Leorio, but I knew Hisoka would be there somewhere too. Gon had mentioned to me before that he had planned to punch Hisoka when he found him in yorknew before he knew Hisoka was actually at Heavens Areana.

I wondered if I would be able to find him in such a big city. I was also excited to see Kurapika and Leorio. Although we hadn't talked much from what I heard from Gon I'd love to have them as friends too.

When we arrived we meet up with Leorio but couldn't seem to get in contact with Kurapika. We told Leorio all about our plan to get Greed Island and he was quick to find a way to help us make money. He suggested that we do a bet thing. To participate someone had to pay in an attempt to win some diamond thing. Gon would arm wrestle them and of course he would win. It was a scam. It was fun.

While Gon arm wrestled, Leorio attracted customers and Killua held the flashy diamond to lore people in. I walked through the nearby streets and told people about it.

"It's crazy right" I said looking over at a couple buying vegetables.

"Excuse me?" The man said

" it's crazy don't you think?" I repeated

"What is?" He said slightly smiling at me politely

"Oh? Haven't you heard? A few rows down there is a kid who is arm wrestling a bunch of people and the winner gets to take home a beautiful diamond." I said throwing my hands up to make it more dramatic.

"A diamond?" the woman asked "a real one?"

"Yea they have authentication and everything. And I heard the kid is only 13 years old" I said remembering that Gon had a birthday pass.

"Really? Which way?" The man asked as I pointed them to the booth.

I was doing really good, but I was starting to miss seeing the actual action and thought about going back over when a weird looking man came up from behind me and clasped me on my shoulder.

" Lavender" he exclaimed squeezing me so tight I could hardly move. "Oh Lavender how I've missed you"

"Sir! SIR!!" I screamed as he shoved my face closer to his chest muffling my voice.

"SIRRR!!" I screamed again when suddenly the man let go and stepped back

"What is it dear?" He asked

"My name isn't lavender you must have the wrong person" I said relieved to have been let go

"Your not my lavender" he questioned

"No sir I'm afraid not"

"Oh dear! How embarrassing!! I am so sorry honey, please let me make it up to you. I feel just awful. Y'all look just a like. My dear lavender, she's been missing for years now. Her parents died when she was real young and we haven't seen her since. But you are the spitting image of her mother I was just sure you must be her." The man went on and on.

"Her parents died?" I asked

"Yes my son and daughter in law. It was tragic, poor girl was only 2 when they passed but when we got to the house the police said some family friends took her and we tried to contact them but haven't been able to find them yet! Not even the police!" He began to sob " OH! A young girl like you surely has better things to do then listen to a lousy old man cry. I am sorry to have troubled you"

"NO WAIT" I said calling after him before I could even think what I was doing. My head seemed to be spinning and my vision seemed off. " Could we perhaps talk some more?" I asked grabbing my head

" of course dear, let us go back to my place and I'm sure a nice glass of water will help get rid of that headache you have" the man said smiling and throwing his coat over me as he guided me away from the busy streets.

"I... I didn't say any..anything ab.... about my my.. my headache." I stuttered as I started to stumble around. It was becoming hard to even think properly.

"Oh. Haha, of course I can just tell. Body language you know. Anyway let's hurry" he said pushing me along.

I continued to walk with him simply because I was not strong even to walk away from him as he gripped my arm and continued to drag me. I did not think to shout out. I did not think to grab the arms of the people walking by. I don't think I thought anything at all until I all of a sudden heard a voice.

"LUNNAAA!! Bakaaa, where are you!!" I heard Killua yelling out for me.

"Come on Luna we are going to head back!" I heard Gon shout after

I turned to look back for them, but just as I did the man picked me up and began to run through the streets drawing the attention of a lot of people. Killua, Gon, and Leorio noticed pretty quickly and although my face was covered by the man's coat they chased after him. I could hear them inching closer and closer until finally the man just dropped me and kept running.

"Luna are you ok?" Killua asked concerned as he dropped down to his knees to observe.

I went to speak but before any words could come out the world around me went dark.
