Lone Hunter

Disclaimer: Nothing really… It's just that I don't own any hunterXhunter character except for Su, Macy and the big guy called "boss" or "man".. Those guys are made up by me. No lovey stuff here..  Kurapika fans, Killua fans, Gon fans and Leorio fans (If any) may get mad at me if I try to pair them with someone.

Chapter 3

"Come on.. Show it to me." Leorio waved his hands and demanded that the boys give to him whatever they were hiding. "Oh great... I thought we are friends here and there's no such thing as secrets between friends right?" He added. "You wish lamebrain." Killua stuck out his tongue and still holding behind him the box. "Um... Leorio-san.. We didn't steal this promise... we just saw it here and with this note and..." Gon stuttered. "Urusai Gon Baka! Of course we did not steal anything... how come you're so guilty about it?" Killua yelled and finally took out the box and gave it to Leorio roughly. "Hey.. If you'll show it to me, show a little gentleness okay?" Leorio caught the box with his large hands. "Yeah right.. Want me to massage you while I give you the box?" Killua frowned. "What's this?" Leorio asked. "It's a box stupid." Killua whispered. "I know it is and I heard that you little twerp! What I meant is, there's nothing in here!" Leorio shoved the box on Killua's face. "What? What do you mean? There is something inside there when we opened it awhile ago." Gon grabbed the box then looked at the floor. "Where is it? It's a big golden ball.. It looks really neat.." Gon searched around. "You mean this?" Kurapika came out from behind and in his hand, the big golden ball.

"WHACK!!!" Su fell down on the ground after her boss gave her a large slap on the face. She lay there caressing her red face and almost breaking out a tear but stopped it. "WHERE IS IT?! I GAVE YOU A WHOLE WEEK, A WHOLE DAY AND WITH NOTHING!" The man from the shadows shouted and the woman who was always beside him gave out a snicker. "Bitch" Su mentally whispered but still not looking at her master's gaze. "You are really trying my patience dear… You know, I'm starting to think that you are purposely hiding it." He added then sat back on his large chair. "No!" Su cried out but then slapped her mouth close for her sudden break-in. "I meant… no… I'm not hiding it… I just really lost it… And this city is so big that I.. I.." Su bowed down again. She was hoping all of this would stop now. That this man in front of him which she owed a lot especially her life, would believe her and forget about that gold ball. "How can you not remember where you lost it in that damn stupid head of yours?" The woman who always stood behind her boss cannot take it anymore. "Never mind it." The man said. Under her tangled hair, Su break out with a smile, relieved to hear that her boss had forgotten about it and that her found friends will forever be safe with that ball. "I will look for it myself…" The man added then Su looked up, shocked with the response. "After all, you are like a daughter to me Su. And like a father, I am very, very protective of you." He smirked and then stood up approaching Su, who is totally confused with what her boss is acting. "You know I wouldn't let you go out by yourself for a whole week. That's why I made sure someone guarded you wherever you go." He continued and Su, still looking at the man began to form tears in her eyes again. "And I believe.. You made quite a bunch of friends out there. And you know what? I would like to meet them." He smiled then grabbed Su by the hair. Su started crying.

"Why would she want Kurapika to hold such a precious er.. ball?" Leorio asked. "I don't have any idea… but you are right Leorio, that thing looks like it cost a lot." Gon stared at the ball. "A… It's probably just a fake. You know, imitations.. You can get them around the city anywhere." Killua scratched his head and opened his soda bottle. "Right.. But if it's a fake, why would she insist that Kurapika take it.. It's not like it has a bomb inside right?" Gon asked and moved away from the ball. "It's not a fake nor a bomb. It is real." Kurapika butt in. "Oh great, now he tells us. What's next? That you appreciate it and want to thank Su and apologize for being rude?" Leorio nudged. "It's very funny for a guy like you Leorio. But unfortunately, I'm not you.. so I won't laugh." Kurapika frowned. "Okay, okay, enough with the tension scene… So what if it's real and it's not a bomb, why the heck did Su give that to you? And why does she tell us in this note that we must give it to you no matter what happens?" Killua asked then sipped from his cola. "I think Su.. is in danger and she doesn't want to tell us." Gon butt in and everyone looked at him. "Oh yeah genius, what kind of trouble?" Leorio asked. "Maybe it has something to do with that ball?" Killua snickered. "Yeah right." Leorio frowned. "Will you guys let me speak? This isn't just an ordinary golden ball… This is also from the Kuruta tribe. This thing here can control time. I don't know how but I know this is it. And… I think Su is trying to protect it." Kurapika held the ball tightly. "Um.. Kurapika, protect from what exactly?" Leorio asked. "Them." Killua moved near the door in silent motion. All three had serious faces except Leorio. (Well, we all know that Leorio didn't focus much with his nen) "What?" Leorio asked again. "Shh… be quiet for awhile lame face" Kurapika whispered and signaled Leorio to shut up. Leorio seemed to get it but was still awfully confused of the sudden silence and weird actions his friends are doing. "There are people outside and they're not the room service crew." Gon whispered as he moved beside Leorio. Now Leorio understood, and he slowly crept down the floor. Suddenly, thuds were heard and gas was coming out from the small things that entered the room. "It's an ambush." Kurapika whispered. "Yeah.. They think those crummy old-fashioned smoke gas will work on us." Killua snarled. "Well.. It did for Leorio." Gon sweat dropped and tried to carry Leorio on his back. "Shit. Next thing we'll know, they'll be throwing bombs in this place." Killua smacked his face with his right hand. Oh how he hated this old fashioned tactics. "How right you are Killua, 'cause I think this is it." Kurapika yelled as he saw a grenade land in front of him. "MIGETE!!!!!" Gon yelled carrying Leorio on his back and together with Killua and Kurapika, they jumped off the hotel window as soon as the grenade blasted into bits.

"IIIEEEE!!!!!!!!" Su shouted and tears came out from her eyes. "Stop this! Please stop this!" She yelled to the man responsible for the blast. "Dear Su, you know this wouldn't have happened if you obeyed me and gave me the ball." He snickered then smoked on his cigarette. "How poor you are Su… You've been doing things for us all these years thinking we would give you your freedom." Macy laughed. "But I guess you have grown to be little smart and knew we won't give you your freedom even if you give the ball." The man continued. "Oh.. all those years I knew you won't… I used those years to actually look for a place to hide it." Su smirked then Macy slapped her. "you little witch. Well…You're little hunting for a hiding place is gone now and so is your friends. Those years were a waste." Macy laughed and Su grew angry turning her eyes red. "That's it… get mad… I love those eyes even if I hate you." Macy looked at her. "Just kill me now!!!!" Su yelled and tears were now flowing from her eyes as if it were not to stop. "Oh you know I won't Su… those red little eyes looks much better if placed in your eye socket than in a container." The man laughed heartily and signaled his men to start looking for the ball inside the mess.

"What I heard is just about enough to make me angry." A voice came in from the smoke and the man's troops started shooting. Kurapika came out of the smoke together with the three. "You are just one of the low-life that ever crossed this planet." Gon yelled and his aura was getting bigger. "I'm not really into helping Su.. but I do want to kick some ass… A what the heck, it's the same." Killua smirked evilly. "You'll pay for what you did to Su-chan!" Leorio yelled. "Minna!!!!" Su yelled. "Hey, Onna! When we get out of this, you have a lot to explain." Kurapika yelled. "What?! You heard enough!!! And besides, you know every damned thing anyway!" Su yelled back angrily but relieved that they were all fine. "All right! I'm ready for some ass-kicking fight!" Killua yelled.

(As we all know it, they win. It's not really a hard bunch of enemies So let's skip that part. Don't want to describe every ass-kicking action)

"And like every action movie, (Sushi: That I criticize…hehe except the really, really good ones) the boss will always be left alone." Leorio snapped. "You've got a lot of nerve making Su-chan your servant not to mention a source of income for her eye." Gon frowned at the man who is now on the floor begging for his life. "Shall we spare his life?" Leorio asked. "NO! Let's just kill him! Let me do the honor!" Killua looked at the man evilly that made the fat guy whimper at the side. "No! Every person has a chance to live!" Gon yelled back. "Look here gell-haired boy, did he by any chance gave pity on us when he practically BOMBED OUR HOTEL ROOM?!" Killua shouted hysterically. "Let's just kill him now. I've seen this in movies already, some stupid hero let the enemy go and what did that guy do to him when they were leaving? He tried to kill him again behind his back!" Leorio reasoned out. "I still say no! Even Kurapika would agree ne? Kurapika?" Gon asked. "Spare him… It's disgusting to see an unarmed man begging for his life." Kurapika snobbishly said. "Kurapika-kun, Gon-kun, Killua-kun, soshite Leorio-san… Arigatou." Su bowed her head then tears came pouring out again. "Why is it that I'm the only one with the "san" thing?" Leorio asked in tears. "It's because you are old you old oaf." Killua laughed and Gon followed shortly. "Oi… You don't have to.. I… look, it's me who should be sorry that I didn't believe you." Kurapika stuttered. "See, now he tells her sorry." Leorio frowned. "Shh.. be quiet will you? This is an intimate time for two Kuruta survivors." Gon smiled. "I have searched for you for years… I know you survived. I saw it but wasn't able to follow you. Then, I bumped into that man… He saved me really.. but only to use me." Su smiled and wiped the tears off her face. "I know you are destined to protect, keep or maybe even use this." She continued then handed Kurapika the ball. "I think I should return this to you." Kurapika handed her the necklace. "No.. If you're going to keep the ball, you have to keep that also. That is the key" Su waved her hand about then turned around. "What is this? Some exchange party wannabe? Let's go and get something to eat." Killua yelled. "Let's go Su… We're not leaving you in this." Gon reached out his hand that Su shyly took. 

(ok… so I'm going to be a pretty corny about this part. Please forgive me.) As they moved out to find a good restaurant or wherever there is food, they didn't know that the man they left behind reached out for his gun and a gunshot was heard. "SU!!" Gon yelled as Su suddenly fell on her knees and then landed on the floor. "Shit! Doushita no Su-chan?" Leorio yelled. Kurapika looked at the floor where Su lay and suddenly saw crimson liquid drenching it. "Masaka!" Kurapika mentally whispered and stood there as Gon and Leorio held on to the bleeding girl. "I Told you he'd do something like that! You didn't listen!" Leorio shouted hard and tears were coming out of his eyes. "Damn man! I'll slice you to pieces!" Killua yelled and ran towards the man, killing him. "Su! Shikashino! Su!" Gon yelled as he tried to carry away Su. "Yamete. Don't… I won't make it anyway." Su breathed heavily and then looked at the four guys around her. "Hey, it was fun… And Kurapika-kun… Please… take good care of that ball… I think I'm done here… I guess I have to go." Su gasped then smiled. Her eyes are turning red by the moment. "You can't die here.. Not in front of me… You can't leave me here.. How dare you do this." Kurapika frowned, holding back his tears. "I finally found someone of the same race as me.. Someone that I thought I have lost long ago.. You can't give up here Su.. damn you.." Kurapika continued but Su didn't even say a word.

"This is my destiny… yours is with them… Why waste your time with me? Don't you have anything better to do?" Su conceitedly said. "How can you be so conceited in a situation like this?" Killua frowned. "Su…" Leorio grabbed her hand. "I want…" Where Su's last words before she fell into the hands of death.

"You are a coward…"  Kurapika whispered. "I want Su back Kurapika…" Gon bowed down, not showing his eyes but tears tinkled on the floor. "What do you want me to do? Uh…" Kurapika suddenly stopped on his tracks. "What do you mean by "uh.."?" Killua asked showing no emotions but deeply saddened at what happened. "Leorio unable to speak, sat there also crying but the loudest of them all. (Actually, he's the only one who is crying out real loud.) "You are destined to protect, keep or even use this." Kurapika remembered Su's words. "Protect, keep or USE it…" Kurapika mumbled. "What are mumbling about?" Leorio sniffed. "USE IT… Guys, this thing can control time remember?" Kurapika asked the trio. "Yeah. And so?" Leorio. "Shut up lame brain! I get it! We can use that to save Su!" Killua commented. "Right… all we have to do is…" Kurapika was cut off. "But Kurapika, how can you be so sure that thing is safe? You know there are hazards in playing with time… and.." Gon sincerely said. "It depends…I guess.. on how determined we are in using this." Kurapika looked at the small, but powerful object. "What do you say guys? Are we or are we not going to use this?" Kurapika followed then all went silent.
