Second Chance (Hunter X Hunter)

Chapter 11

"Hey Gon, why must you call Kurapika at this hour? It's 3 AM in the morning. He's probably sleeping now." Killua look at Gon in disbelieved. Gon is just ignoring Killua. He's now busy looking for Kurapika's number from his mobile phone. He must ask Kurapika about that Book of Nen that he and Killua just read form the dark website. Kurapika love to read. There's a high chance that Kurapika might now something about the book.

"I think he's still awake. Their time frame in the Dark Continent ship isn't exactly the same as us. If I'm not mistaken, last time Leorio told me that their time is about 4 hours later than us. So it's approximately around 11 PM there. I don't think Kurapika sleep as early as that", Killua's jaw is widely open. He can't believe that Gon can be this smart after a year.

"I still don't think that it is necessary to ask Kurapika about this book, Gon", he took away the phone from Gon. Gon try to take the phone back but Killua is just too fast. He jumped on the chair and raise his hand on the air. "Bweeekkk, you can't catch me, Gon. You're just too slow. Somehow he heard a voice. He's pretty sure that the voice doesn't come from his head. He look at Gon, ask for an answer. Gon is just pointing at his phone that Killua is holding. Kilua put the phone to his ears.

"Hello. Hello. Killua. Is that you?" Killua quickly pass the phone back to Gon. Gon chuckles. Its fun to see Killua in his embarrass mode.

"Hello Kurapika. How are you? Am I disturbing you with my call?" Gon took over the conversation.

"Oh hello, Gon. No. Not at all. You can call me anytime but if I am busy, I might not answer your calls." Gon can hear Kurapika is laughing at the other side of the line. So he laugh too.

"Hey Gon, is Killua with you?I think I heard his voice just now."

"Uhm, yes he's here. Just arrived a couple of days ago," answered Gon. He look at Killua and that silver-haired boy is pouting and turning his face away from Gon.

"Good to hear that. Oh yeah Gon, what's the reason you calling me at this hour? Is there's anything I can help?" finally Kurapika remember to ask Gon the purpose of the call.

"Actually I would like to ask you whether you ever heard of the Book of Nen." Gon started with his question.

Kurapika did not make any sound for about 5 seconds. "Yeah I read about it long time ago but I don't know much about it actually. Many people believe that the book contain a very strong nen. Only those with a strong aura are able to handle the power from inside of the book." Gon turn on the speaker of his phone so that Killua can hear it too. Kurapika continue with his story.

"Many people said that if anyone want to find the book, they will have to travel to the most deserted land in the world. The place called Karatunya City. There are only 700 populations there although the city is quite big. This is because only 10% of the land are suitable for living. The rest of it are not. The land is totally dead. The weather just unpredictable. Sometimes too hot. Sometimes too cold. There will be thunderstorm most of the time. There was a time when the place are badly flooded because the rain didn't stop for 3 months in a row. Basically, no creatures can live in that land. That's the reason why they moved all of the population into one side of the city and shut off most of the area. They're preventing anyone from entering that zone for a safety purpose." Kurapika took a deep breath. Taking a rest for that long explanation.

"Okay that's all I know. Is it helpful?" he asking his two friends.

"Totally!" said Gon.

"But let me tell you one thing. This book probably just a myth. I don't want both of you to take my story seriously. It might not exist, you know", added Kurapika.

"Can I ask you one thing, Kurapika?" interrupt Killua after being quiet for quite some time.

"Yeah Sure. Go on." Said Kurapika.

"Is Karatunya City really exist?" asked Killua again.

"Yes. All the things I told you guys about Karatunya City are all facts. You can even find about the city from the Hunter website but if you ask me about the book, I can't guarantee you that it is true. It can be true, it can be not." Explained Kurapika.

"I think that information about Karatunya City itself is enough for us", Killua look at Gon with a big smile on his face. Gon confusedly look at him. He have no idea what is playing in Killua's mind right now.

"What do you mean by that, Killua", Kurapika ask him curiously.

"This is because me and Gon will travel to Karatunya City tomorrow in order to find the book", Killua said confidently.

"What?!!" they can hear that Kurapika is in shock at the other side of the line.

Gon look at Killua. His eyes are glowing. Killua pretty sure that his best friend is currently feeling quite thrill with the suggestion he made just now.

Gon look at his right hand and he's tighten up his fist.

We're going to have another fun adventure again and....I am going to have my nen back.
