(A/N A bit of a short chapter, sorry for the late update! Lately i've had writers block so I just added and posted what I had already for the second chapter. Don't forget to review! I love getting feedback! Enjoy!)
He arrived four days later in Kukanyu. He booked a hotel, and phoned Leorio to let him know he'd made it. Leorio had informed him since they were traveling by ship they'd be an extra one to two days. During those days, he investigated the Blood Bandits. At a local archive center he found out that the Blood Bandits were mercenary's with a large range of skills. For instance, one member could be an assassin while another could be a healer. Other information was restricted.
He grimaced and swiftly yanked his Hunter License from his pocket accessing the Hunter website. He grabbed onto the mouse and clicked on the search bar, typing in Blood Bandits. His eyes flitted around the screen before landing on a link. Blood Bandits attack Hunter HQ. This could be of some help after all. When the page loaded he was faced with a typed report of the incident which occurred fifteen years ago. Not long before he was born.
Today at 12:43 PM the Blood Bandits attacked Hunter HQ hoping to kill the Zodiac's and Netero. This was a rare occasion for the group is almost never in the same place at the same time. We're still investigating but no evidence so far on who put out the hit. The Bandits almost succeeded in their mission by using a top secret Nen type who was captured upon attempting to flee the scene. Thankfully someone pulled through stopping their plan. Only top secret Nen type was captured, rest escaped but leader of the group, Alrzander Finn had major damaging to internal organs and burns from an unknown source scarring face.
The report ends after that. He slammed his fist down in frustration. That's it? That was no damn help at all! But, He cast a disgusted glance at the screen, Leorio and Kurapika might wanna see this. With a sigh, he pressed CTRL and P at the same time, printing the report. Killua walked over to the printer and grabbed the papers folding them in half, then sticking them in his pocket.
When he walked out of the archive center, loud voices caught his eye. "What's your problem man?! That mine!"
"Oh yeah, like a runt like you took the Hunter Exam." Across the street, a boy looking to be seven or eight stood facing a gang of teenagers. One teenager in specific, held a Hunter License.
"I didn't! A kid gave it to me!" Now this caught his attention. After all, it could just be a coincidence, but no Hunter he knew would willingly give up their license. Unless it was already stolen. The older boy sneered and leaned down in the younger one's face,
"Oh yeah, give me a name I'll see if I know him." The younger boy snapped his head up and called out,
"Gon Freecss!" Killua's blue eyes widened and in a split second, his nails had extended to twice their length. He used the shadow technique to remain unseen and sped across the street, stealing the Hunter License from the older kid, and scooping up the small boy.
"What the-hey you?! Just who the hell do you think you are?!" I don't have time for this! Without a word, he let his eyes become lifeless and glared daggers at the boy and his gang, letting loose some of his murderous intent. Sweat drops formed at the hairline of the juvenile delinquents. "S-sorry man, let's get the hell out of here!" The boys then scrambled out of the alley making it once again temporarily safe. Killua now focused his attention on the young boy, who was clutching his neck and looking at him through shocked brown eyes. He set the kid down and rolled his stiff neck.
"Thanks but, who are you?" He stopped loosening his muscles to look down at the boy.
"The name's Killua, you?"
"Sin," After that it was awkward silence until he asked a burning question.
"You say you got that license from a Gon Freecss. He just happens to be a friend of mine, but right now he's missing, and I'm afraid he's in trouble. Do you remember why and when he gave that to you?" Sin stared at him for a few seconds wearing a blank expression, before he blinked rapidly and said,
"Gon came to Kukanyu, about a month ago?" Sin spoke more as a question then as assured. "He chased off those guys just like you did, and gave me his Hunter License to sell for some money." His eyes narrowed. Something's off. That does sound like the caring Gon I know, but he wouldn't give up his Hunter License just so some kid could sell it for money! Gon must've been trying to get rid of it for some reason.
"But you never did," He pointed out. Sin's cheeks flushed at this and he looked up at the sky,
"Well, yeah. It didn't really sound like he wanted to give it up, he wasn't in too good shape either, so I figured I'll hold on to it till he got better." Killua suddenly snapped forward his white hair tickling the side of his face.
"What do you mean? Was he hurt?"
"Well," Sin paused for a painfully long time, "Gon had bandages all on an arm." Killua mentally sighed as Sin paused and shuddered, "His skin, it looked like it was all dried up. It was black, ashy, you could see inside his body." No…Nanika's wish healed him! His eyebrows furrowed in anger and he clenched his fists. Subconsciously, he tucked Gon's Hunter License into his pants pocket.
"Thanks kid, I'm off now." He shoved his hands into his pockets and stalked towards the alleys exit. Killua was just about to step onto the main street when Sin called out,
"Give it back to him alright?!" Killua, stopped for a second, momentarily confused, before he realized Sin must mean the Hunter License. He gave the boy a small smile and wave then reached in a pocket for Gon's Hunter License. Seeing this pained him. He didn't know if it was the amount of time that had passed since Killua had seen Gon, or just Gon's idiocy. He would think Gon would have enough common sense to call him if he was ever in a situation. But Gon didn't. And the next time he saw that kid he would get a word or two in.
By the time he finished thinking over what to do to Gon when they met up, he had arrived at the hotel. Killua now sat on a hotel bed thinking. The reason the Blood Bandits wanted Alluka is still unknown. The explanation on why Gon is missing, or how he knew the Bandits wanted Alluka is unknown. Both of their locations, unknown. "Damnit." Killua cursed under his breath and clutched the blanket. With a sigh, he fell back onto the bed with a woompf and brought his arm up to cover his eyes. Kurapika and Leorio would arrive tomorrow, then it's at least another days drive to the entrance. It's not what he had in mind for being close to the coast, but where the ship comes in is just a dock. Only other available option is Kukanyu. He took in a deep breath and attempted to clear his mind, today had worn him out and he intended to take a nap. After a few minutes he found out that unfortunately he was restless. Killua snapped up in annoyance. He pushed himself off of the bed and over to the window leaning out, looking for any signs of trouble. His blue eyes flickered over the crowd before landing in an alley where two men had confronted a young woman. An evil grin spread across his face as he cracked his knuckles and jumped upwards to land perched on the windowsill. As he shot down he thought, I'm trying to control my anger. It wouldn't hurt to blow off some steam. I won't kill them, that is if they don't piss me off too much.
