Friends x Forever x Fatality (A Hunter x Hunter fanfic Book 2)

Chapter 8

It has been 3 weeks since my last update, so i would encourage you guys to maybe review the last chapter to refresh your memory. ^.^

This chapter is dedicated to @atheenalouise a fellow HxH fanfic writer. Thnx for following/reading/commenting your support means a lot! =)

Lets check in on the gang...

Gon:

We stand and stare at the enemy in front of us. I would say she isnt much older than Milly and I, perhaps a little bit younger than Kurapika and Kyra. I look over at Milly, her whole body is shaking but her defenses are on high alert. I turn back to see Kurapika whose eyes are now burning scarlet, right through his black contacts AGAIN

"We will hear Chrollo's message first." Biscy says out of the blue, it surprised us but no one takes their eyes off this Layla character.

"It is about time someone answered me," Layla complains. "Chrollo asked me to deliver the message in the form of a poem:

There will take place a gathering of friends,

but not til week reaches ends.

One will meet him sooner than others.

One young boy betrayed by his brothers.

Escort our special guest,

fulfill this final request,

and no longer live under the covers.

What do you think? Its beautiful isnt it?" She voice drips with sarcasm.

'I dont understand a word she said! What does she mean a gathering of friends, and who is this special guest? I wonder. "It certainly was interesting, though i wouldnt call it poetry." Biscy retorts.

"N-now w-what is your message?" Milly's voice trembles as she speaks, i look over and see the terror written all over her face. She looks pale, sick, and her eyes are tremoring.

"Sorry but the information i wish to convey is to important to just tell you. I first have to determine if you are worthy of hearing it." Layla replies dryly. "Lets have a little fun shall we?" Her demenor changes and it gives me the creeps!

"I know what your kind of FUN IS!" Kurapika interjects. "You are going to try and kill us, you are a spider after all, a brutal, merciless killing machine!"

"You are only half right in saying that." She corrects him, "I am GOING to be a spider, once i complete one final mission."

"That means nothing to me, you have the tattoo and that is all i need to know!" He lashes back.

"Fair enough, but you were also wrong about me being a brutal, merciless killing machine. I dont kill for pleasure, in fact i avoid it if at all possilble." Kurapika is startled when he hears this. "I only kill my life or the life of someone i care fore is in danger. Though when i do decide to kill, it IS without mercy."

'That almost sounds like something Kurapika would say.' i think to myself. Judging by the look on his face, he realizes they have that in common and it makes him angrier. Out of nowhere i feel someone grab my hand, i get a chill run down my spine. I turn to see Milly, her hand firmly locked with mine. It almost feels like all her fear is fusing into my body.

"Now back to that fun thing i mentioned. Lets have a little fight, not to the death, but to the knee. It will end when one of us kneels and concedes defeat." Layla explains.

"ONE of us?" Biscy inquires.

"Yess i will only fight the ONE among you who is the most worthy opponent. I will chose the strongest among you. Everyone stand still while i read you." She takes a step toward us and we take another simultaneous step backwards. Layla smiles and laugh softly. Then her eyes begin to glow with aura, 'She is using Gyo' i think. 'She is a manipulator (How does Gon know that?) and Biscy said that they generally have exceptional intuitions which allow them to easily read people or situations. In this case it will help her determine the strongest among us. The strongest has to be Biscy, right?'
