Ch.41| cool off

(Akari and Paku made it back to the troupe.....)

~

"Does he really expect us to abide by those conditions?" Phinks growled, arms crossed over his chest. Akari said nothing, leaning into Hisoka's side. The moment they got back Hisoka had given her a sharp look after telling her not to go off on her own. 

"Tell us where he is, Pakunoda. We'll kill the kids then deal with the chain user." Paku said nothing. "How about you then, Akari. You went along. Tell us where he is." She remained silent, Hisoka's arm tightening around her waist. 

"You're insisting?" Machi asked. "I insist. If you won't tell us, I won't let you leave." Akari's body tensed at Phink's words, fingers grazing over the ring on her hand through the glove. 

"I refuse to tell you where he is and I'm taking the kids with Akari only." "Akari? Again? Why is she permitted to go with you, again?!" Phinks growled, glaring down at her from the side. "Don't interfere." Akari hissed back, her eyes narrowing up at him. 

"Interfere?! Who's the one interfering with our plans?!" "Go, Paku, Aki." Machi stated, giving them both side glances before giving Phinks a glare in return, her brows furrowed. "We'll stop them." 

"Stop us?" Feitan asked, his aura flaring as his brow raised. "Are you trying to insult us?" 

Immediately Akari's own nen flared as she gave Phinks and Fei a harsh look. Hisoka's arms constricted around her, his breath tickling her ear as he whispered- "If I'm honest~ I don't want you to go either, who knows what could happen~" She swallowed and shook her head. "I have to. Kur- The chain user put a condition on me."

Hisoka's arms tightened once more. "What~?" "Yeah. And if I don't go I'll die. ....I think." 'that is how his nen works, right???' "I have to go Hiso. Don't worry, I'll be back shortly." Hisoka's jaw clenched as she left his side, standing next to Paku. 

"You're serious?" Phinks questions, staring incredulously at them. "Have you lost your mind?" "I bet they were defeated by the chain user before we arrived. They're probably under his control right now." Akari stiffened at Feitans words. 'he's half correct..' "This is a waste of time, I'll get them to talk." 

"Is it really so hard to understand?" Akari's gaze shot to Gon's figure, chained to a rock next to Killua. Her brow furrowed. "You don't understand why Akari and Pakunoda wants to leave without a word? You don't understand why Machi is stopping you now??" 'damn..' "You honestly think they're being controlled?!" 'annnnd gon's angry again.' "They want to rescue your boss! Is it so hard to understand the desire to save a friend?" 

"Shut up, kid!" Phinks growled, his teeth gnashing together. "Are you that desperate to be spared?" 

Gon's hands clenched into fists as he leaned forward- "..MH-!" -and broke out of the chains pinning him to the rock. Akari didn't say anything, the hint of a smile threatening to curve her lip upward. But now was not the time.

"I'm not doing this for my sake. Take back those words!" 'damn this kid's really got guts.' Gon's eyes flared as he glared at Phinks, hands clenched at his sides. Killua met Akari's gaze and he sighed. "Good grief." Killua groaned, his arms straining as he too broke free from the chains. 

"I refuse, if you have a problem come here..." Phinks sneered. "The second you take a step I'll rip your head off." "Then I won't move an inch!" Gon's teeth gritted together. "Kurapika isn't like you! No matter how much he hates someone, he wouldn't lose control and kill them without mercy!" 

Akari flinched at his words. She could feel the desperation from her troupe members. They didn't want their boss to die-no they wanted him safe. But they also didn't want to give into what they enemy wanted. Yet those words were so familiar to her....
