Darkness (HunterxHunter)

Killua X Big Fortune X Hunter's Tavern

(A/N Most of the episode is about Gon and Killua so it's short)

Mika's POV

Kurapika put his hand in the stream and I sat on the ground waiting for him to be done. In my bag the item I needed to bring was there. There was another person who was using Ten so I looked back and saw Melody. We walked towards us and I looked back at Kurapika.

"Such a lovely melody." Melody says and Kurapika looks up at hers. "Right at this moment your heart is beating in perfect harmony with the birds chirping in the trees and the water of the tricking stream." Kurapika gets up and I stand up with him. "Oh wait the melody just changed, this is the same melody of when I first met you, although it's still lovely it's lonely and sorrowful."

Kurapika walks over to me and stops and looks at Melody. "I had no idea you were this talkative."

"Oh really?" She said not bothered.

"I don't mean to give you advice but talking too much is a bad thing, speech tends to give away information beyond what's actually being said." I give him a look, but say nothing.

"I suppose, but I believe that whatever information we do gain through speech should be the last thing we trust." She explains. "After all, the words we say cannot only deceive others but also ourselves. What's true and what's a lie can be hard to separate, while a person's heartbeat always glows to the truth." She pats the spot where her heart is. "It's that way with mine, yours and your companion's."

Kurapika starts moving but Melody continues speaking. "But there are times when talking is necessary, especially when you're carrying a burden that too big for you to carry on your own. Of course it all depends on who you chose to share it with."

Kurapika smiles at her and we continue moving with Melody besides us.

Time skip~

Squala was in front of us and there was a table we stood across from. "Alright, why don't up you show me the items you managed to bring back." He says to us and Basho snorts.

"Look who's barking the orders now." He said.

"Forget the show and tell, let me give you another kiss." Baise says and laughs.

Squala puts his hands up. "Uh, no thanks I'm good." Kurapika takes a red and gold box out of his pocket and holds it in his hand.

"Here's what I found, a DNA certified hair belong to the world famous actress Sarah." He says and he puts it down.

"My, my, aren't you a go getter." Baise says.

"Alright come on who's next?" Squala says looking at us.

Melody takes out a container. "I found a piece of brain tissue from the assassinated dictator General Sharmen (it's another thing in the 2011)

Basho lifts up an mummified arm. "Check this out the right arm of a mummy that was entombed in Egypt."

Baise lifts up a skull. "I just happened to find, a unicorn skull."

I lift up the crown. "I found the Koh-i-Noor, weight 793 carats uncut and owned by the Kakatiya dynasty." I placed it down by the rest of the items and we looked at Squala.

"Nice they're all authentic." He says and looks at us. "Very well done." The upper part of the room opened up and another floor was visible. The two women from before and the man was there as well.

"Nice, I'd like to see them for myself." The man said and smiled. "Come up here and join me, all of you." We did as he said and traveled up the stairs to the room. The two women from before took the items and showed them to the man.

"The items you requested." One of the women said. The man looked at the items and he said absolutely nothing to us.

"Alright, take these to the Boss now." He said and the ladies bowed and left. He looked at us. "Baise, Basho, Melody, Kurapika, Mika, from the simulation and the items you retrieved I am satisfied that all of you are qualified to be employed here. Ok, considered yourself hired, my name is Dazollene and I'm the head bodyguard. Welcome aboard, now about the assignment you've been hired for. You'll be escorting the Boss to Yorknew City from the time we leave until we're safely checked into the hotel.

I'll brief you in for all of the details if you'll follow me." He said and we did. He lead us to a table and a map. "We'll travel by private blimp to the airport in the suburbs of Yorknew City, this length of the trip will take 35 hours. From there we'll take a limo to the hotel. A 90 minute drive." He pointed to a pink section of the map. "You newbies will be assigned to the outer formation, any questions?"

"Can you tell us who we're protecting the Boss from?" Kurapika asked looking up.

Dazollene smirked. "Well there's the first stupid question, let's say there are too many to keep track of. The Boss is a VIP of the underside of society lots of people have grudges."

"Perhaps you misunderstood my question." Kurapika said and opened his eyes. "I'm interested in knowing who you think might actually attack the Boss during this trip. If we can narrow them down and determine their motives, we could more effectively plan countermeasures and that way we would keep the boss safer."

Dazollene hit his pointing stick on his hands. "I think you're the one who doesn't understand. It doesn't matter who attacks the Boss, from where or how. Our job is to protect the Boss, all the time. That's the only thing you need to remember." The object was crushed by his hands and all that was left was a piece of metal. "Don't assume who the enemy might be, everyone who approaches is an enemy." He dropped it on Kurapika's hand which was on the map.

We were finished speaking and Dazollene looked at us. "Follow me, I'll take you to the Boss." We all got up and followed out of the wall and into the hallway. Baise stopped moving and we stopped with her.

"Hey over there." She said and we looked up and there was a man that looked trapped in a painting. It was too real to be a sculpture or a painting.

"Is it real?" Kurapika asked.

"Sure is, as real as you are." Dazollene said and Basho whispered. "In fact he used to work here, alongside us, but he ignored what I warned him about, he presumed he knew who the enemy was after being lead by a paper with false information. He acted on his own which put the team and the Boss in danger. This was his punishment."

He looked over to us. "The four of you were brought here as his replacement." Kurapika looked back at man but we kept moving. After a few minutes we were in front of a purple and dark gold door. Dazollene knocked on the door.

"Yes?" A voice said.

"I have the new hires here." He said and the door was opened by the two women from before. The entire room was a pinkish color. The ceiling was pink, the rung was dark pink, everything.

"Please come in." The lady with the dark red hair said. "The Boss has been expecting you, this way."

The 'Boss' was a girl with long dark pink hair (Pink: 1999 & Manga, Blue: 2011). She was a pretty girl with blue eyes (Brown: Manga). She was wearing a long light blue skirt with a long sleeved light pink top. Her shoes were light orange. The back of her hair was held up by a white bandana. She had on light pink lipgloss. She looked about 17-18 years old. Everyone gasped at her and Dazollene looked back at us.

"May I introduce your Boss, who you'll be protecting, Miss Neon." He told us and we all stood in front of her.

"She's just a..." Basho whispered.

"Girl." Melody finished. She looked at us and smiled.
