Of flames and lighting

chapter 20

"AHA!" she jumped to her feet pointing to the screen, a memory coming to her mind, her papa had told her about a game greed island. An island with some materials one could use in crafting if you could find a way to smuggles the items away. "it's a hunter game! A game solely for hunters!"

"Ehhhh?!"

-x-x-x-

The group of three stood by the one of the many busy markets of York new city. The place where the group were going to meet with leorio and kurapika. But also, the place where the auctions for greed island were going to take place.

The group after hours and hours of scowering the internet for information, all but ran to the city for the ship dock. Arriving early as in their search, as the pair - gon and killua didn't have the money for the greed island and they didn't want to solely rely on Kyriak who was going to (hopefully) earn a killing selling her creations at the auctions, if she remembered to visit the auction houses. It would the first time kyriak venting into the auction face to face, usually papa took her items but now with the hunter licenses she could sell her gear personally.

Though the pair internally doubted that the girl's papa would like them using the girl's money.

They were only JUST barely liked by the man, no need to give the overprotective father a reason to actually hate them.

Kyriak skipped behind the pair of boys taking in the sights of the city and its surrounding markets. Occasionally the girl wandering a little too close to the stalls – eyeing some poorly made copies or daggers and blades. She did have to be dragged away from a practically pretty obsidian black Nichirin sword. Not that the boys could help much being distracted a lot themselves looking for good steals. The older boys arguing about the lack of funds before agreeing on a little competition who could earn the most.

Kyriak watch with the amusement, eyes turning half mooned crinkles as her smile grew as the tension from the friendly competition increased. Thought the boys were mindfully of the word they had used.

"Agreed!" the pair yelled shaking on it, before turning tails. Running in either direction. Planning on ways to win their friendly match – who could make the most money?

"Eh?" sliver hues blinked, "wait!" she called, looking between the two boys... the pout growing as she realised that the pair had left her. "stupid" she grumbled kicking the ground.

Well at least she got free time to play about with some ideas... twisting on her heel a wild grin growing on her face as she skipped along. The geta clacking with every step.

It wasn't until gon and killua joined back up from there hunt did there realise that they were missing someone... kyriak.

"Ahhh..." gon exhaled, looking down at his feet. "we've lost kyriak, I thought she was with you? Didn't you hold her hand? Isn't that what you usually do?"

"I thought she was with you" killua countered, scratching the back of his neck embarrassed. "She should be fine, I'm sure"

The pair was silent a moment.

"Someone's probably hurt" gon spoke breaking the silence.

"Yes, we should find her" killua nodded, turning to the green spikey haired boy.

"You go that way. I go this way. Let's fine my- I mean our wandering friend"

Gon grinned, an idea sparking. "First one to fine her, has to do something the other says!" he yelled before turning and fleeing down the street.
