Nahida & Wanderer In HXH

°Can You Even Escape?°

Long story short, the three of them went along with the spiders to their hideout. The old man that introduced himself as Nobunaga kept a tight hold on Wanderer's throat while they walked.

Gon was freed, and kept walking beside Killua and in front of them. Occasionally glancing at Wanderer between the two spiders.

They knew who was stronger and kept a leash on him. Killua kept his growls and hatred to himself, choosing to focus on remembering their way back.

All in all, this wasn't a bad outcome. Nahida and Leorio should've already been notified thanks to Gon's quick thinking before getting caught.

Not to mention, knowing the other members was valuable information, along with their hideout.

Wanderer heard the man beside him hum in thought.

"So, where is that little girl you were traveling with?"

In a split second, Nobunaga felt his throat be grabbed and squeezed as Wanderer stared at him with wide, hatred filled eyes. Machi frowned and threw her threads towards the kids. Both of them jumped back, but didn't run; just observing Wanderer in worry.

Nobunaga coughed out a laugh, and used the arm around Wanderer's shoulder to press him against his chest. Smirking down at their closer proximity.

"Family, that girl is? To have you react this way, I can respect it."

Wanderer scowled and growled out hid answer with hatred.

"I couldn't care less what you think of me."

"Enough!"

Machi wrapped her threads around the wrist Wanderer was using to choke Nobunaga. She stretched the strings, making them narrow in on his wrist, ready to cut the hand off if he didn't obey.

Honestly, she wouldn't normally care. Nobunaga could handle himself, but she couldn't stand back and lose another member. Losing Uvogi was enough.

Wanderer frowned at the strings that were actually strong enough to cut through his wrist. He didn't want to get injured, Nahida would worry and start nagging him again. He released his hold, letting Machi move his wrist at her will and behind his back as Wanderer glared at him again.

"Stay away from her, perverted old man."

Nobunaga frowned and coughed once while touching his bruised throat.

"I'm not a pervert..."

The kids relaxed considerably when Machi took her threads back and let Nobunaga push Wanderer forward to resume their walk. Seeing them walk, forced the kids to continue as well.

Nobunaga observed Wanderer, but the hat obscured his view of him. So he snatched it up, smiling at Wanderer's frown before he threw it at Machi. She frowned in disgust and used her Nen to grab it before it could touch her.

Now with his face in view, Nobunaga kept poking the bear.

"What's her name? She seems polite, unlike you."

"I could say the same thing. That girl with the short, black hair looks smarter than you."

Nobunaga scoffed, actually offended at the comparison.

"Now that's just an insult, I'm prasing you and your sister!"

"She's not. My sister."

That made Gon and Killua glance back at him. Gon couldn't stop himself from blurting out.

"She's not?"

Killua pushed Gon forward and whispered a 'mind your business, idiot' to him. But the damage was done.
