•~A Conflict Between the Spiders and a Kurta~•

Chrollo's Inevitable Question

Chrollo would return with the blonde male slumped over his shoulder, still shirtless since he seemingly lost his coat in the crowd of people...someone must have picked it up.

"I've returned with the chain user...no killing him."

He would set Kurapika down against one of the many piles of boxes.

Gon looked around the place, surprised to see that only a few members were present. He was scared for Kurapika.. he stared at his unconscious face with a worried expression.

Machi stepped forward and stared at Kurapika, clenching her fists. She quickly glanced up at Chrollo.

"Hey boss.. you look pretty beat up. Do you need bandages?" Machi asked.

"For the one on my torso. That will be the only one though. Thank you."

Chrollo would kneel to Kurapika, Examining him...for some odd reason.

Machi nodded and stepped into another room in the abandoned building to get the bandages.

That chain user... Machi grit her teeth.
No.. I shouldn't let my emotions get the better of me.

Machi opened a drawer and retrieved a roll of bandages before closing it and heading back to the main room.

"Here you go, boss." Machi casually tossed the roll of bandages to Chrollo. She then leaned against the cold, hard wall, crossing her arms.

Gon was too afraid to say anything, so he just stood by Kurapika, fidgeting with his clothes nervously.

Chrollo would wrap the cut open whip mark on his torso up with the bandages. He did it quite quickly, concerned about what would happen if he stalled. He finished wrapping the wound and tore the wrap at the end. Chrollo thought Kurapika should be waking up soon...I hope. He would look back at the chain user and stare for the time being.

Kurapika eventually woke up, groaning as he held the back of his head. It seemed he'd sustained plenty of injuries.. evident by the fact that when he woke up, he felt like he was aching all over. No part of his body felt like it was untouched.

"Good...you're awake."

Chrollo would smile down at him as he was standing.

"Kurapika!" Gon almost tackled him with a hug, before realizing his injuries. He was just relieved that he was okay.

Behind the smile Chrollo gave Kurapika, we're devious intentions... Though it did seem that he was slightly relieved at the fact that Kurapika was awake now.

Gon did find it strange that Chrollo was glad Kurapika was awake, but he didn't think much of it.

Kurapika grunted and winced as Gon hugged him, though it did bring him some semblance of mental comfort.. Gon didn't seem to be battered at all.

"Is this.. your hideout?"

Kurapika asked, sitting up a little more.

"Yes, it is...It's crowded with boxes but that's alright."

Chrollo pulls the item he stole from the market from his pants pocket, examining it, it seems to be some sort of broach.

Kurapika tried to pull himself back all the way up to his feet, although that wasn't possible at the moment. He leaned against the boxes with a sigh, crossing his arms.

"Why am I here?"

That's right.. Machi didn't know exactly why the boss brought him here. If they weren't allowed to harm him, then why did he bring him here anyways? Interrogation?

I wonder where the rest of the troupe is.. Gon thought wearily. and that presence from earlier... Who was it?

What is boss planning to do with them? Thought Machi.

Shalnark walks into the room from the shadows and notices a blond guy who looks badly hurt and one of the kids that we captured a while ago.

"Hey, I'm back from the (insert random millionaires last name) mansion. Maybe you guys can fill me in on what's happening?"

He looked at machi and boss while tossing a huge bag of money next to Chrollo.

"Thank you, Shalnark. Machi, would you take this and set it somewhere you think is fitting?"

Chrollo would pick up the bag and hold it up.

"You. You didn't answer my question..!"

Kurapika gritted his teeth, eventually finding the strength to pull himself up to his feet and point to Chrollo. His stance was shaky and uneven, but he was still standing.

Chrollo would look toward Kurapika and cross his arms.

"Please, I'd advise you to sit back down. With that many injuries you'll only break yourself again."

Chrollo would look again toward Shalnark and explain what had happened back at the market.

Shalnark listened to chrollo as he spoke but something was off. He felt more auras than there is people in the room.

"Ohh...Okay, so what are we going to do with him?"

When shalnark said "him" he looked into the direction of where the unfamiliar aura was, hinting to the boss that there is someone else in the room that is unwelcome.

Killua was hiding in the shadows using zetsu after running away from illumi while still following gon. He kept quiet and still hasn't realized that shalnark spotted him.

"Hm? Oh..I get what you're saying. What I want to do with him is talk. And as for him.." He would slightly lean his head toward where Shalnark looked. "We'll ignore him for now. If he causes any trouble then we'll get him out of here."

Chrollo would make it sound like he was talking about Kurapika in those last sentences, but really he was talking about the hiding Killua that Shalnark pointed out...

Kurapika collapsed back down into a sitting position by the boxes, his arms crossed. He would use his holy chain to heal himself but.. without his emperor time, his injuries would take longer to heal. Not to mention the fact that he had injuries all over and not just in one area.

Kalluto was in the room with the spiders as well, although he wasn't exactly up to anything. He sat in silence towards the corner of the room, gazing at the various boxes that lined the hideout idly.

Chrollo would turn back to Kurapika and kneel to him again, this time resting his hands on his knee.

"Tell me, If I had no intention to hurt you or your friend then why did you try and capture me?"
