The Greed island Retreat (Part II of A Load Of Adventures)

Chapter 15/Kurapika

Chapter 15/Kurapika

Gon and Killua duplicated 50 of their cards and gave them to me. That was a big help so now we’re finished. Since us three have already mastered nen we’re completely done. So now that means we can spend our next two weeks exploring. Also means I get some bonding time with Gon and Killua. “KURAPIKA THERE'S PLUSHIES!!!!” Gon yelled, “Do you wanna go look at them?” I asked him, Gon looked at me with stars in his eyes and yelled, “You’ll let me?!” 

“Well yeah, why wouldn’t I?” I asked, “THANK YOU KURAPIKA!!! YOUR THE BEST!!!!” He yelled and hugged me, I laughed and said, “Aww thanks Gon that’s sweet of you to say now go on in,” then he ran right inside. He kept stopping to look at every plushie he saw, “Hey Gon” I said, “What is it pika?” He asked, “Where’s kil?” I asked, Gon then gave me a look of panic, “I- I don’t know, he was just here a little bit ago” Gon said and ran back out I chased after him. We searched every inch of that town from the houses to the trees, from the shops to the market, we even searched through the meadow and there was still no sign of him. “Kurapika where is he-” Gon whined as tears started to roll down his face, “Hey, don’t cry! We’ll find him I promise. I’m sure he’s okay” I said trying to comfort him, my attention went from Gon to the tall person in front of us. “Sorry for worrying you two. That was never my intention, I just needed to borrow kil for a bit” Illumi said, “KILLUA!” Gon yelled, Killua shot a look at Illumi then looked at Gon, “Gon?! Why are you crying? what happened to you?” Killua asked as he took Gon in his arms and whipped his tears, “What happened.” Killua’s gaze turned to me as he demanded an answer, “He started crying when we couldn’t find you” I said, “Oh. Sorry Gon Illumi needed me for something” He said and looked back at Gon, “Stupid you scared me” Gon said and hugged Killua, “Sorry to ruin the moment but you three need to get out of here” Illumi said, “And why in the bloody heck should we listen to you?” I asked, “Because. Mother and father have sent Gotoh and Canary to search for Kil” He said, “WHAT?!” I yelled, “We went to court over this! I have full custody over him now!” I said and balled up my fists ready to punch the first person to step a foot near him, “Do you really think they care about that? Mother will do anything for kil, her love for him is toxic. And father can’t convince her to leave him alone” Illumi said and crossed his arms, “I can handle them” Killua said, “They can’t have Killua!” Gon yelled, “Don’t worry, they won’t lay a hand on him” I said. Illumi led us to some sort of underground base and there we found him. “Well then, look what we have here” Hisoka said, “Stop it stupid. Touch any of them and I'll chop your hands off in a second” Illumi threatened, “Oh come on illu, I’m only playing” Hisoka said and grinned, “Why is he here?” I asked, “Don’t worry he’s with me.” Illumi said, “You think that makes me trust this any more? I think not.” I said, “You don’t have to trust us. But kil does” Illumi said, “And I can’t believe I’m saying this but I do. I trust Illumi with my life. He’s not the same as he was back then” Killua said, Illumi’s expression changed from serious to something soft, caring almost he looked as if he wanted to cry, “Thanks kil” Illumi said, “Mhm. Now, where are Gotoh and Canary now?” He asked, “Right now they should be about 20 miles away from spawn.” Illumi said, “But with how well they know you two they should find this place within the hour” Hisoka said, “So we should get moving” I said, “Not so quick chain user. If you act too quickly it could end with you going straight to them, or them leading you to a trap. Think this over first” Chrollo said, “I have thought it over. I know what I’m doing” I said, “Do you really? Did you consider that if you trail off too quickly that you could get lost? After all this is your first time on the island. It won’t take much for you to lose your way and get stranded in the middle of nowhere, but if you don’t act quick enough then this will all give Gotoh and Canary the chance to go after the other groups” Chrollo exclaimed, “I didn’t really think of that” I said, “But if we act now we’ll have time to find and warn the others” I said, “Like I said, there's a chance they already found them and it would be leading you on a wild goose chase to get you off track and lead you right to your death bed” He said once more, “Chrollo’s right pika” Killua said, “Besides they are our butlers, they would have to have great skills to be hired to protect us. Even if we did find them, none of us would stand a chance in a fight against the two of them” Killua said, “Neither of you could beat them” He said and pointed at me an Gon, “It’s better to let the Zoldyck kids handle this” Illumi said, “Exactly” Killua said, “Fine. I’ll let you all handle this but we’re coming with you!” I said, “Very well” Illumi said and exited the base and Hisoka followed him not far behind, the rest of us went after them. As much as I hate to admit it, they were right, I wouldn’t stand a chance. Those butlers were hired to protect a family of top tier assassins, they would have had to be well skilled. What was I thinking? 

“Hey!” We heard Ami yell as her and Ichika came running towards us, “We found 5o cards! We finished” Ichika said, “So did we.  Now you two go back to spawn, we’ll meet you there later” I said, “Alrighty!” Ichika said and she and Ami headed in the opposite direction of us back to spawn. “So where do you think they are?” I asked Illumi, “I can sense them. They aren’t far-” Illumi said and then came to a sudden halt, “Wh-” He interrupted me, “Shh. He’s close by. Conceal your aura, Quick!” He said and all of us did as told. “Any sign of the young master?” Gotoh asked Canary, “No sir, not yet” She said, “We need to keep looking, we are on a time limit after all” Gotoh said and he and Canary started walking again. 

We were almost caught.
