HxH Emerald Bounty: Introduction Arc

Birds X Fruit X Research

Gon, Killua, Rachel, and Gray climbed tree to tree until they were one hundred precent sure the  mouse wasn't following them "That was a close one, one bite from that thing and it would've been over for us." Rachel sighs

They look around "How far from the tree are we now?" Killua asks and Gon climbs up a tree.

He looks into the distance to see it wasn't to far "Not that far it should take like half an hour to get there in all honesty." Gon says and jumps down, he looks at Gray "Hey what are in those bags your carrying?" He asks pointing to the large backpacks Gray was carrying on his back.

"Oh camping stuff, we don't know how long will be out here so it's good to be prepared, I got water, food, tents, tools, you name it." He says and Gon nods as they continued to walk to the tree.

"Do you really think these three ingredients will help Gon's Nen?" Killua asks Rachel.

"Yeah I had a student who lost her Nen a while ago and me and my younger brother did this exact same thing to help her get it back and it worked." Rachel explains.

"You have siblings?" Killua asks.

"Yeah I'm the second oldest, I have a older brother by two years, three younger brothers and one younger sister, two brothers are twins they're three years younger than me, one is one year younger than me and the sister is four years younger than me." She explains her siblings ages.

"Do you like your siblings?" He asks her.

"I have a love-hate relationship with my older brother, same with my sister, I am okay with my brother 1 year younger than me, and the twins we don't really have a relationship if we weren't siblings I'd just say we're acquaintances, but I do care for them all." She explains her relations with her siblings.

"Do you love your parents?" He asks.

"Hell no, they weren't even parents more like teachers they taught us to do stuff then tested us and if we failed we'd get punished." She grips a fist in her hands "Our family was meant to serve the gods and teach younger generations if they had any so that's why my family knew Yukimo, when she was tossed from the God world we raised her so she's like another sister to me except they loved her more than they did their real children." She sighs "Me and my Older brother were basically the parents to out siblings, we cooked and cleaned that we never actually had real time to be kids....." she admits never knowing what it was like to be an actual kid because she was basically a parent when she was four years old.

".....That's horrible." Killua says.

"Eh at least they didn't abuse us, Punishments wouldn't be that harsh we'd just have to do all the chores, or write in a book on what we did wrong, or just stay in our room for the whole day, nothing like whips or staying outside. So my life wasn't nearly as bad as other kids." She says the somewhat positive side to it.

Killua stares at her as they continue to walk to the tree.

"I can't find anything here ether." Nikolaos says searching another shelf from the very many in Yukimos library.

"Damnit how'd it break then? Was it possibly fake?" Misty asks reading some books on what stuff means if it breaks when it normally is unbreakable.

"No it couldn't be fake, those were the exact coordinates of the healing stone, besides no fake stone would release a aura that strong, nor would the power it released when broken couldn't mean it was fake." Tera says that it was impossible for the stone to be fake, she scanned every book possible even if it didn't relate to the topic at hand.

"I got more books here!" Domna saya carrying a load with Alda.

The female hatchlings place them down on the table.
