Baby Monster

The Troupe

Killua POV:

The man we were chasing suddenly dropped her. I was the first one to reach her. I picked her up and cradled her in my arms, trying to get her to talk to me but it seemed she must have passed out.

We took her back to the hotel where Leorio tried to see if he could figure out what was wrong.

"It seems like she was poisoned, I would say" Leorio said after awhile

"Well is she gonna be ok" Gon asked

"Yes she should be fine. I gave her some medicine to help with pain and fever, but I don't expect she'll be able to do much the next few days." Leorio explained

"I'll stay with her then" I said standing up from the couch

"No" we heard a slight voice raise up

"Luna!" Leorio exclaimed " you shouldn't be awake go to sleep"

"Killua go with Gon to raise enough money to buy the game. I'll be fine on my own for a few hours. You can come and check on me as often as you want" she explained

"If that man comes back after you.." I started but she interrupted

"There is no way he'd know where we are right now" she smiled

After a while she convinced us she was fine and we started getting ready to head out  I walked into the bedroom one last time to check on her before we left.

"Hey" I said awkwardly

"Hey" she smiled

"What kind of assassin gets poisoned so easily" I joked

"Poison?" She asked

"Yea, Leorio said you were poisoned"

"I'm immune to poison though" she said looking confused

" I guess not whatever this was. Try to rest up you idiot and stay out of trouble" I said before leaving

Luna POV:

After they left, I got up and walked to the living room. Leorio guaranteed me I would be sleep by the time they left, but just as poison  doesn't work on me neither does medicine.

'Poison?' I thought to myself.

I wanted to find some answers! I started by tracking down the guy from last night. Of course it didn't take me long. I am a hunter and assassin after all.

The old man told me that he was hired by an anonymous source. I was his target. All he had to do was poison me to slow me down long enough for the source to come pick me up.

"Poison doesn't work on me so what did you use?" I asked

" well.. my.. my nen. It's a poison. Through contact. So when I .. when I.. grabbed you and hugged you I was poisoning you. It's infused with nen... nen so that.. that it would work on anyone and...and be more critical" the man stuttered out.

"So since you failed your employer what's gonna happen" I asked knowing the answer already

"Please!! You have to help me! They are gonna kill me! I was just trying to do my job! Honest!" He pleaded.

"I'll help you! I said with a smirk"

"Thank you! Thank you so much" the man said

I turned around to face him and in one swipe pulled out his throat. Blood splattered all over the room we were in as his lifeless body fell limp next to me. I walked over to the bathroom and saw the blood all over me. I wiped it all off my face and arms but the blood in my clothes would most likely stain. I sighed as I made my way out of the apartment complex.

As I was walking out however, I was met by two unfamiliar people. A young looking man with blonde hair and a very put together purple outfit along with a very large man who looked like Frankenstein.

I tried to walk past them, but they stepped in front of me. The blonde looked me up and down before talking.

"Would you happen to be Ms. Luna" he said smiling.

"No sorry, my name is Jasmine. You must have the wrong person." I said smiling wide before trying to walk past again.

"Well Jasmine" the blonde said smirking "what got all over your clothes"

"Paint. I was painting a rose for my friend and I spilled it everywhere" I lied "can I help you with something?"

"Well I'm glad you asked. I actually would love if we stopped lying to each other" the blonde said suddenly very serious. "I have better things to do"

Suddenly the large man shot his hand out toward me revealing his fingertips to be guns.

'That must be his quirk' I thought to myself

"Then if we are gonna cut the bull crap let's make a deal" I said trying to display the confidence I had been taught.

"Oh? What's that?" The blonde said again

"Tell me who you are and what you want with me and in return I'll tell you anything you want to know" I demanded

" What makes you think you are in a position to make such demands." The blonde asked

"If you honestly think you two can bring me in without a few scars to show for it, you must not know who I am" I said trying to cover the fear that continued to raise in me.

The blonde pulled out a phone and started reading

"Luna Anderson. Raised by the notorious Anderson family of assassins. Rumored to one day be the most powerful nen user there is." He then looked up and stopped reading. "But little Luna wasn't happy with that and decided to run away. Now she is nothing more than the beginnings of something great. Now are you gonna shut up and come with me or should I have Franklin here blow out your knee caps"

I decided to take the chance of going with them. He lead me to a shabby looking run down building. Once I was inside I immediately saw my first ever friend. Hisoka sat by a window playing with a new deck of cards. It reminded me of the deck he had given me last time I saw him. I brought them with me everywhere. I moved around a little as I walked to feel the stiff cards run against my stomach since I had them nestled in my pockets.

"Boss? We're back with what you asked for" the blonde announced as everyone in the room looked over at me.

I glanced back at Hisoka, to see the utter shock on his face to see me. And then just as quick his faces change to nothing. Like he put on a mask.

"Good." A man said looking up slightly from a book he was reading. " I have some work to do, but the Andersons should be here soon to collect her. Don't let her go until then" he said getting up.

"I don't get why we are doing this for them anyway" another member of the group hissed.

" I told you already. I owed them a favor. And I don't like being in someone else's debt" the leader said before leaving completely.

I suddenly started laughing manically. I let my blood lust take over and it filled the room. I watched the hairs on the members arms raise and their heart beats quicken, but their faces did not give them away.

"What makes you think you'll so easily be able to keep me here. If you touch a hair on my head, the Andersons will kill you. That is if I don't do it first" I scoffed

Just then more members walked in with two people I definitely did not want to see. Gon and Killua.

A member came close and whispered in my ear "rumor is these are your little friends. Try to go anywhere and we'll kill them." She said before backing away.

"Luna??" Gon shouted out making Killua look over as well.

I just looked down and blocked everything out. I was deep in thought. I needed to get away. If the Anderson's knew I had friends. They would  kill them. Like all the others they would kill them. But I didn't have enough time to think of a plan. Not long after I felt their presence. Chills ran up my body. They were here. My heart sank and my body betrayed me as it let tears stream down my face. My body was limp and I had lost my fight.
