Mika's POV

The girl didn't answer Gon's question of who she was and just stared at them blankly. She reminded me of Mike meaning that she's a guard of this certain area. Gon didn't seem bothered by it and continued talking. "I'm Gon. We're here to visit Killua." He said pointing to himself. "These are my friends, this is Leorio."

Leorio nodded his head in a friendly manner and said. "Hey." Gon then moved his hand towards Kurapika.

"And this is Kurapika." Kurapika just nodded and then he introduced me. I didn't nod I just gave her a cold stare. She was staring between me and Gon. Gon, probably because he's so friendly and me, because I passed her before. She was probably wondering why I was on the other side and how I got over. Gon then continued to talk.

"We're trying to find our way to the Zoldyck house." He said.

"Go back." She said coldly and Gon seemed surprised that she said that.

"Huh?" He asked.

"You're on private property." She explained. "You do not have permission to be here."

"Hey didn't you hear him ask you what your name is?" Leorio asked. "At least you could do is tell us that first."

"She's probably not going to tell us anyway." I told him. "She's a guard."

"She's right." The girl said. "I'm not going to tell you my name, nor do I desire to know yours either."

"What?!" Leorio yelled walking one step forward. "Listen y-" But Kurapika stopped him from going forward.

"Hey, come on!" He said holding Leorio's right shoulder. "Try not to get upset ok?"

"Didn't you hear her?!" He said angrily to Gon.

"Let me tell you one more time." She said. "Leave immediately." No one moved. "You're on private property. This is the Zoldyck's estate. No one enters without permission."

"But I called ahead on the telephone and all four of us got through the testing gate and Zebro and Seaquant even told us to take this path, up the mountain to the house!" Gon yelled furiously.

"But the Butler's didn't give you permission, did they?" She asked.

"No." I replied since no one else did.

"Well then how can we get permission to be here?!" Gon yelled.

"She just told us." I said but he ignored me. Sometimes I think Gon's too stubborn for his own good.

"I'm Killua's friend but nobody's letting me talk to him!" He said.

"Who knows?" The girl said. Gon gasped. "To be honest, there has never been a president."

"So the only way in is to trespass?" Gon asked.

"Yes." She replied. "It would appear so. Listen." She said as she twirled her cane in the air and made a mark on the ground, similar to a line. "I'm afraid this is as close as you're going to get. Put one foot across this line, I'll remove you by force." Gon and Leorio glared and Gon stepped forward.

"Gon! Wait!" Kurapika said and Gon stopped after a few steps.

"Let me handle this." He said determined. I sighed and moved towards a tree and sat down on the ground.

"This won't be pretty." I said outloud. Gon then continued walking and moved to the girl's right side (her's not our right). Kurapika and Leorio stayed still and Gon took one step over the line and she smacked him with her cane sending him backwards a few feet behind Leorio and Kurapika. There was a bruise on his forehead.

"Gon!" The two yelled and Leorio turned his head towards the girl.

"DAMNIT!" He yelled. "WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM!"

"What did you expect?" She asked. "I told you what would happen but it seems your friend wasn't listening." Leorio's shoulders started to shack.

"That's how you justify by attacking him is that it?" Leorio asked his voice shaking.

"I did make myself very clear." She said blankly and Leorio ran forward.

"THAT'S THE WAY YOU WANT IT!"

"Wait! Come back here!" Kurapika yelled pointlessly.

"TWO CAN PLAY IT THAT GAME!" But as Leorio yelled he was also smacked in the face by her cane sending his glasses flying off his face and him falling to the ground but as he was falling the girl grabbed his tie. Clutching it with one hand and having her cane pointing towards his neck. Kurapika made no move to help him.

"Since this is your first time here. I'll let you off with a warning. But next time, you won't be so lucky." She then let go of Leorio's tie making him land to the ground in a 'thud' and a grunt. 'Why was she going easy on them? Why didn't she just killed us? She's obviously skillful.' "Don't cross this line." She said firmly and then walked away. I didn't move as the threesome left. I knew they were going to be back here and very soon.

Time skip~ Some time later~

Gon, Leorio and Kurapika were back and the girl was waiting in her position, obviously not backing down. I looked at her cane and saw that there was a kind of skull in the cane. Probably a gift and I looked towards the tree and saw that there was a skateboard, and it looked exactly like Killua's he must have dropped it when he returned.

"Back for more?" She asked and I noticed that they were closer than before. "I guess I didn't hit hard enough."

"Please! Listen!" Gon pleaded to the girl. "We don't want to fight you! The only thing we want to do is see Killua! That's why we came back." He said.

"We're his friends, and you may not believe that, but it happens to be true." Kurapika stated. "The four of us met during the hunter exams."

"That is irrelevant." She said. "The reasons for being here, mean absolutely nothing to me." She then moved her cane up to her other hand. "I have my orders. It's that simple."

Leorio let out a sigh and frustration. "Give me a break!" He said annoyed. "It seems to me like you're just another version of Mike."

"Exactly." She said emotionlessly.

"Huh?" Leorio asked. "That figures." Gon then stepped forward making Kurapika become eggy. Kurapika put down his bag and took out his twin swords that he had. Leorio looked towards him.

"She already warned us once before." He explained. "We won't get a second chance." Leorio then took out his knife.

"I hear ya." He said and I moved one of my Ben's knives down just in case their lives become endangered. Gon was right near the girl and hadn't crossed the line yet. He then looked towards the tree that held the skateboard.

"That's Killua's skateboard, isn't it?" He asked her.

"Yes, that's right." She said.

"I wonder what it's doing over there." He asked, he obviously wanted her to answer it.

"Master Killua, gave it to me as a present." Liar.

"He gave it to you?" Gon asked surprised. "But, why?" Her face changed slightly.

"He didn't tell me why." She explained looking towards Gon. "He just gave it to me."

"I'm sorry but that's a little hard for us believe." Leorio said. "Because during the Hunter Exam, he hardly ever went anywhere without that thing."

"I can imagine that's true." She said. "He's rarely been seen without it ever since he got it as a child."

"Hn." Leorio said. "That's my point! We all know how much Killua loved that skateboard!" He spat. "And I for one, don't think that he just gave it to someone without some kind of explanation! Anyway! We didn't come here looking for a fight! So why don't you just let us pass?! One more thing! If you're lying to us and we find out that Killua was actually forced to leave his skateboard for some other reason! And! We find out that you had anything to do with it! Then you! Have better watch out!"

I sweat dropped at his threat. I was sure that that girl could kill Leorio. I was almost absolutely certain that she would kill him if he tried to kill her.

"Oh really?" She asked obviously not scared of his threat.

"Yeah!" Leorio yelled. "Consider it a warning!" He then tightened his hold on his knife. "And we're not giving you any second chances either."

"Um, excuse me." Gon said and she stared at him. "Did he really give you his skateboard without saying why?"

"That's correct." She said.

"Are you sure?" Gon pushed.

"If you don't want to believe that's fine. But that is how it happened."

"Alright! Then I'll try to prove that's true!" Gon said.

"You're going to prove it?" She asked.

"Uh huh." He nodded.

"And how do you propose that?" She asked.

He looked down. "Just like this." He then stepped on the line making the other two move forward. The girl cut the side of Gon's left cheek, causing blood to come out and hit Leorio causing him to fly back and knocked out Kurapika's twin swords out of his hand and then twisted her cane and smacked Gon to her left, near the grass.

They were all down and in pain. Leorio and Kurapika pulled their heads up. "You held back during your attack. I thought you weren't going to do that anymore?"

"Yes, that was my mistake." She said. "You all seem to have such good reflexes, but I hope you got the point. You don't belong here. So you'd better turn around." Gon then got back up with a bloody nose. "Go back to where you came from."

"You're right." Leorio said. "She's definitely going way easy on us."

"But still get a sense of her true power." Kurapika replied. "I don't understand why she'd do that when she can just as easy eliminate us. There's gotta be a reason."

'So she actually does believe us.' I thought. 'She doesn't want to kill Killua's friends.'

"There's gotta be a reason." Kurapika stated.

"If we knew that than we definitely be able to fight her." Leorio said.

"Exactly." Kurapika said.

"But how the heck are we supposed to figure that out?" Leorio said rubbing his head. "Just look at her face it gives nothing away!"

"Looks don't account for much." Kurapika said. "To be honest, in physical appearance alone I'd never would have guessed that you would've wanted to become a hunter." Leorio grunted in annoyance and narrowed his eyes. Gon then stood up.

"Leorio, Kurapika. Stay where you are leave this to me." Gon said.

"But Gon!" Kurapika yelled as Gon moved forward and then looked at me.

"Mika, you won't move unless we're about to die right?" I nodded. He then continued walking and every time he moved towards the line he got sent back to the ground. After the sun set he started getting use to the punches on occasion he would fall back but most of the time he would be only pushed back by his legs and then continue to walk. By the end of it. Gon had a bloody nose, an eye that wouldn't open, dirty, bloody clothes, marks on his face and pink bruises on his face.

It wasn't a pretty sight. The girl also seemed to be slowing down and feeling more guilty by every punch to the cane she had to give Gon. By the 30th or so strike she had a blood stain of Gon's blood on her right cheek. Gon then got up again and she seemed surprised.

"Enough. You have to stop." She said. Gon started moving again. "Please don't." He walked over gain and the girl hit him again put Gon only moved back and didn't fall, leaving marks on the ground. The girl's face became angry and she started sweating. "You have to stop doing this. It's useless! Why can't you see that?! I can't let you cross this line! it's impossible! Why don't you stop him?!"

She yelled at us. "You guys are his friends!" We didn't make a sound or moved a muscle. She seemed taken aback by the determined look in Kurapika and Leorio's eyes.

"Who are you?" Gon asked the girl looking down towards the ground.

"Huh?" She asked confused looking towards Gon.

"You didn't tell me before." He said. "I just wanna know who you are."

"Me.. uh.. I'm a servant's apprentice of the Zoldyck family." She said. She didn't understand what Gon was asking her.

"No. I meant your name." He said. "Tell me your name."

"I'm an apprentice.. Training to become a servant." Her voice was starting to croke. "I haven't been given permission to tell you."

"But they didn't actually.. stay you couldn't tell someone your name did they?" He said stepping forward slowly. "So let's try it one more time. Who are you?"

"I'm C-Canary." She said.

"Okay." Gon said and looked at her with a small smile. "It's nice to meet you Canary."

"I answered your question!" She said. "Will you please leave now?"

"I have another question." He said stepping forward again.

"You do?" She said surprised.

"We've come all this way to see our friend, Killua." Gon said. "Could you let us through?"

"Master Killua is the chosen heir to the family." She explained to us. "They'll do everything in their power to protect him. You can't just walk up to the house let he's a normal person. Besides. People like you aren't.... qualified to be his friend."

"To be friends with someone." Gon started. "You don't need... qualifications. I told Killua's brother the same thing. You don't qualify to be a friend." She looked down at her cane. The skull most have been something Killua wanted to give her. "You just are."

"NO! That isn't true!" She yelled. "I don't know how things work where you come from, but around here you can't just say things like that! Everyone who works here is responsible for a designated area of the estate! My duty is to make sure no one crosses this line! You can't just walk into someone else's world and expect them to change the way they do things! That's never gonna happen here!"

Gon moved three more steps. "Hey, Canary?" Gon asked but Canary cut him off.

"Stay back Gon!" She yelled.

"You know that story, you told us about Killua giving you that skateboard?" He asked. "I'm starting to believe that's true. And if it is... then, you're Killua's friend too aren't you?" Her eyes widened. "And cause you are, I think you believed us right from the beginning! That's why you're trying to be easy with us."

Canary looked down. "You're wrong!" She yelled sadly. "Master Killua would never be friends with me. He'd never give me that skateboard as a gift! The truth is..... he just dropped it there. I was only imagining that it was give to me. I'm just an apprentice... Not even a servant.. I shouldn't even be thinking about things like this... I'll never be one of Master Killua's friends."

"Why?" Gon asked. "Is it because of your status?"

"Yes.." She said. "I'm... I'm just like Mike! I only exist to fill out my master's orders... That's how it is..."

"Who are you?" Gon asked again making her look at him.

"My name is Gon Freeces. Killua's a friend of mine and I'll do whatever it takes to see him. What about you?" He asked.

"I'm an apprentice. Training to be a servant to the Zoldyck family." She said.

"I thought your name was Canary?!" Gon yelled making her flinch. "It doesn't matter you're an apprentice! Your name is Canary! You've drawn a line through the ground won't let anyone cross it because that is what you've been told to do! But why don't you ever cross the line?! Why do you stay on that side and do everything they say?!"

"Because those are the rules." She said.

"Because of the rules?!" He asked angrily.

"That's right." She said relaxing her body.

"And what about Killua?!" Gon yelled.

"Huh?" She asked.

"If you only follow rules then did Killua actually say you couldn't be his friend because you're an apprentice?!" Gon asked and she was silent for a while and she seemed to be having a flashback and she was back to the present. Her shoulders started shaking and it seemed as though she was going to cry.

"First time I saw Master Killua." She explained. "He spoke to me like an equal! and I said something that hurt him." Her grip tightened on her cane. "Now what should I do?!"

Gon moved over the line and she flinched but didn't hit him with the cane like before. "You see that wasn't so hard." He then looked at her with a determined face. "That proves you're different than Mike. No matter how hard you try to denial your feelings they're still there.I know they are. Because every time you say Killua's name I can see it in your eyes, and you just can't hide that." He was smiling at her and she started crying.

"Please help him." She said tears running down his eyes. "Please help Master Killua. You must help him." I felt some movement and ran over to Canary and Gon as fast as I could and caught something before it hit her but another attack was on the left side and Canary fell to the floor. I lowered my hand as it throbbed in pain. My hand was broke so I had to snap it back in pace. But a nerve was damaged and I couldn't move my arm. I looked over and saw... the boy from before with a woman in an expensive looking white, purple, yellow and pink dress with something over her eyes and a strange hat. Her eye was red and she didn't look happy to see us at all.
