HxH Emerald Bounty: Introduction Arc

Bubblehex X Labyrinth X Conlaoch

An:Forgot to mention something crucial for my storyline but you know that cross on Chrollo's forehead, imagine it's covered with that olive green bandanna he wears, trust me this is crucial to the story line as he can't have those showing until later. I'll tell you when the bandana comes off. And you'll understand in the future.

Also sorry if this chapter isn't as good or intense and interesting as the last chapters.

Kurapika looks at Shalnark as he said what he said, of course he still didn't trust the Phantom troupe but for some reason he could tell that Shalnark was generally trying to be nice "Well we can't leave these guys alone, but we also shouldn't venture out on our own. So I say no." Kurapika explained to him.

"Ok....." Shalnark nods and looks at the list and book, luckily they stayed dry. "Looks like next we need to get a 4 Bubblehex flower petal all of different colours." Shalnark read out loud.

"What colours?" Kurapika looked over his shoulder to see what exactly he was reading.

"A light blue, pastel yellow, Ruby red, and seafoam green petal." Shalnark shows him the picture of the beautiful flowers, their petals looked like bubbles all round, and looked to be filled with water or some liquid substance, with a white stem "They'll be found in the labyrinth of......Conlaoch bees......is that the next giant bug....." Shalnark gulps he hated bees with a burning passion.

"Guess so." Kurapika says then walks back over to Alluka and Gon pulling the close and far away from the others.

Shalnark sighs sadly and looks away expecting this behaviour, so he makes sure his friends are comfortable before grabbing his phone and checking some stuff.

It was a few minutes later Kurapika realized they were probably not going to be up for a while so out of boredom he couldn't believe he was doing this "So Shalnark." Kurapika started.

Shalnark looks at him "Hmm?" He hummed in response confused why he'd be talking to him for no reason.

"Back at the beginning, like before we fell into the spider nest, your friends said something about you guys being brought back and all of the sudden you wanted to redeem yourself and the others." Kurapika begins and Shalnark gulps and goes wide eyed and pale "Why do you want to redeem yourself all the sudden.......is it because you got brought back and didn't want to be killed by Hisoka again. Or did you just want an excuse for me not to kill you guys?" He begins to question the lighter haired blonde and Shalnark was pale.

"W-well ummm....I'd like to tell you but I don't think you'd believe me.....And I did not want to join this place just for an excuse for you not to kill us!" Shalnark waves his arms nervously.

"Well at least tell me why, and I'll try my best to believe it." Kurapika glared at him and Shalnark gulped.

"I-I.......I haven't even told the troupe, no one........in fact I'm not ready to tell anyone......can I maybe tell you later......?" He looks at Kurapika with hesitation.

Kurapika continued to glare until he sighed "Fine, you can tell me later.......just no that I don't trust you or anyone in the troupe, not even that kid." He pointed to Korotopi.

"I know.....and you have a perfectly reasonable for not wanting to trust us.......we took away your family after all......" Shalnark holds his knees up to his face smiling with a look of sadness.....

Kurapika continued to stare at the spider before he sighed "But I won't kill you guys......I don't want to ruin my friends chance of getting in the guild I care for them to much to do that to them." Kurapika laid down on the ground with Gon and Alluka resting on his chest.
