You Will Always be my Friend (A HunterxHunter Fanfic Book 3)

Chapter - 14

AAAAHHHHH!!!!! No words! Lets juswt GGGOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Kurapika:

Hisoka leads us into the back of the Church and reveals a secret door that goes down to the cellar of the building. We descend into the bottomless pit, about 110 flights which means we are easily almost 200 meters below the ground. Finally we hit the bottom.

“We just have to follow this long hallway and you will come to a junction that is about 3-4 kilometers from here. Take the left junction because the right will lead you to death, actually they will both lead to death but the left leads to the Troupe.” Hisoka explains.

“This wont take a couple of hours then, we should be there in a matter of minutes.” Gon points out.

“But to that you would have to run, and if you run you will trip the sensors and traps.” Hisoka warns.

“Then walking it is.” Leorio chimes in. “I don’t feel like dying before I even get to the fight.”

“Wait why aren’t you leading us?” Pokkle asks.

“I have to go lead the other suicidal idiot to the Church, then I will wait at the agreed location until Kurapika delivers Chrollo.” 

“It will be fine Pokkle, don’t worry about it.” I assures him, but Pokkle doesn’t seem convinced. Thankfully he trusts my judgment.

“Now get moving and do what you have to do, I will do my part. Tootles!”  Hisoka says as he disappears back toward the Church. We all turn and walk solemnly down the hallway. I can feel the tension rising in the air, everyone is pumped up to the max. I can feel the scarlet in my eyes, I am ready for anything.

The months of training, the weeks of planning, the days we spent on the journey to get here, and the hours we waited in the upstairs, they are finally paying off. This is it...

We come to the junction that Hisoka spoke of, I didn’t even realize that we had been walking that long. We take the left as he instructed, I notice a very faint, almost undetectable spider mark on the wall of the narrow hall. That must be how you can tell you are on the right track. We are almost there, in a matter of seconds we will be at the Troupe’s door. I begin to sweat and my heart rate increases; I can feel the adrenaline running through my veins. That is when I see it, the faint light at the end of the tunnel literally. There it is.

“Alright everyone, just as we planned. I will go in first and nab Layla. By now Hisoka should be at our agreed location and Hanzo should be on his way here. When you see me coming back into the tunnel with her you all run out and complete the mission.” I inform the rest, they all nod in compliance. I can just sense all of their anticipation pouring from them, they are ready for this. I pray the REALLY are as ready as they need to be.

I stand and turn toward the end of the hall, I walk slowly but decisively. As I exit the tunnel I come into what appears to be a huge abandoned building. Judging by the architecture I would say this is possibly a very old office building, I will have to take care not to get turned around. I don’t see anyone right away so I push farther into the Spiders layer.

I check every room and I am sure to keep myself alert while at the same time invisible. Just then I get the slight taste of a malicious aura but it is strangely familiar. I keep walking a little farther and the sensation gets stronger, it is actually painful. It feels like I am being burned, like having a lite cigarette pressed against your skin but the sensation is all over my body. Regardless I keep going, I have to keep going.

I cautiously peer into another room and out of the corner of my eye I notice someone sitting in there and she is asleep. It is Layla. I doubt she is really asleep, in fact if I were to breathe abnormally I would probably wake her up. I try to casually pass by the door but when I get a look from a different angle I see someone hanging from the ceiling. 'No, it cant be...'
