Elementally gifted

Chapter 39

RECAP:

"Look carefully at the pictures you were give. Those seven people are today's target!!!"

I froze in pure shock as I looked at the familiar faces.

The glasses girl... Samurai... Frankenstein.... The pale guy with dark hair and clothes.... Blondie.... And finally the pink haired female....

"O-Oi.... But that girl...." Leolio mumbled as he looked over my shoulder to see the papers.

"Hey, she's the one who came yesterday for the arm wrestling," Gon exclaimed as he pointed the the glassed girl.

Killua seemed to be thoughtful as I stared at the person on stage, "The condition to fulfill is to catch them and give them to us!! You'll receive a check of 2 billion Jenis per head!!!!"

My mouth dropped open.

2 b-billion Jenis?!

THIRD PERSON P.O.V.

"There is no time limit!!! Dead or alive, no importance at all!!! Obviously the ways to capture them is free for you to decide!! If you manage to catch one of them, contact us at the number at the bottom of the page!!"

The crowd went wild at the announcements.

Though four certain people silently stood together, looking at the paper closely.

"2 billion per head...!!" Gon muttered in shock.

Leolio on the other hand was ecstatic, "If we catch them all, we'll get 14 billion jenis!!!"

The silver haired females silently stood next to Killua as they both looked at the paper with a thoughtful look.

Gon and Leolio who noticed them stared at the two who truly looked like they were twins or siblings.

"We only ask for participation taxes, which is 5 million jenis per participant! We ask for the people who won't take part in this to give the picture back before exiting!!!!!"

As the four of them quietly exited the place, Nijika and Killua shared a look of worry, not muttering a single word.

"Hey, we should go gather information as well!" Leolio excitedly exclaimed as he walked in front of the kids.

Killua sighed, his hands in his pants pocket while his eyes were filled with boredom, "Don't stress it. They'll never catch them," the silver haired male confidentially stated, "Plus I think it's a bad ideas." He added quickly.

Nijika suddenly stopped walking, looking serious, "I agree with Killua."

Leolio and Gon turned around in confusion as they stared at the two silver haired teens.

"Don't you see it?" Nijika questioned as she stood next to Killua, "A while ago, we were suppose to be in a conditional auction, but it seemed like it was an investigation with an reward."

Killua nodded as he threw his arm over Nijika's shoulder with a frown, "Uh huh. In my opinion, the mafia recognized it's failure with its own ways, and they are trying to find other solutions."

Nijika smirked and nodded in agreement, "Didn't it seem familiar to you Gon? I mean the room?"

The spiky haired teen seemed confused for a second before a look of realization appeared in his eyes, "Ah!"

Nijika nodded, "Yup, I noticed it, and I think Killua did as well," the female eyes the male who was lazy leaning against her, "The ring in middle of the room, it was similar to the Tenkū Tōgijō, the heavens arena. The initial project was to surely to organize fights or something like that." The female explained to Leolio and Gon knowing Killua already figured it out.

"So you two are saying that you think they changed their plans 'cause it became necessary for them to find those guys?" Leolio question as his eyebrows furrowed in thought and confusion.

Killua and Nijika nodded, "Yep. Whatever the time or money it may cost," Killua stated as he pulled Nijika to walk beside him, "The 5 million tax is to give the impression of a real conditional auction. The fact that the reward is a check, and not a high value object, don't you think it's strange?"

Nijika smirked as she nudged Killua lightly with her elbow, "Heh, aren't we a bright team?"

Killua's smirked right back, making the two of them laughed.

Though Leolio and Gon were slightly taken back.

'I'm literally seeing two Killua's....' Leolio thought with a shook of is head, though he froze when he realized what the two children in front of him were saying.

"No... You two think the objects for the main auction could have been stolen by.....?!" The older man gasped as he stared at the paper in his hand, "And in that case, there was only one solution remaining: launching an investigation notice in the thieves with a reward...!"

Killua pulled away from the girl and placed his index finger on his forehead, "Yes. You have to be dumb to steal the mafia's treasure. But we know a bit on those guys..." Killua paused as he looked at the female who now stood behind him, a look of confusion in her eyes, "The Genei Ryodan, or we could say the other name for them, Phantom Troupe."

Nijika froze at where she was standing.

'You better keep your promise' the voice of her brother echoed through her head as she realized who these people were.

'Holy shiiiiiittttt........!' Nijika thought as she recalled the times she met theses people, 'And I kept saying it was impossible for me to even meet one of them..... I've seen six of them already.... Dammit what a small world....'

"By the way...." Gon muttered as he stood in front of Killua, "I wonder what Kurapika could be doing..."

Killua cocked his head to the side in agreement, "Ah... That's true. He must be here, but he hasn't called us yet..."

Gon pulled out his newly bought beetle phone and called the blonde friend of theirs.

Nijika on the other hand continued to stand where she was, she was mentally debating to herself.

'Go against Sorata and help Gon and Killua? Or keep the promise.... They wouldn't know I'm a Kijime as long as I keep my disguise.... But if I get found out.... No... I already gave my stone to them, they'll know if something does happen to me and come to help....'

"Ne, he's not answering..." Gon muttered in disappointment.

Nijika straighten up as she walked to her friends, "He's probably busy, he works as a body guard for the mafia now," she explained as she watched Gon put away the phone.

"Eh?" How do you know Nijika?"Gon innocently questioned as looked at his female friend.

"I met him three days before cause I got here a day before we were suppose to meet. He's been doing good, stronger than the last time we saw him," Nijika stated with her tone laced with worry.

"Huh..." Leolio muttered as he pushed his glasses higher onto his nose, "Probably of a VIP. And since he is looking for the scarlet eyes, he must be working for someone in the shadows."

Gon frowned as he walked up to the female and gave her a side way hug feeling the nervousness rolling off of her, "It's ok Nijika...." He whispered into the female's ear before looking at Leolio, "As a bodyguard he may have been part of a bad business going into the auction."

Leolio nodded in a dark mood, "He may not have been hired if he was in front of the Troupe, I'd say he'll throw himself into the business without hesitation...." Leolio shakily laughed as he started to sweat, "He may have been arrested two or three times," he stated in a shaky voice.

Nijika sweat dropped as Gon somehow agreed, "If that could be true...."

Nijika shook her hand while shaking her head, "Wait, wait, waiiiiiiiittttttt!!!!" The female yelled as she glared at the two males, "Do you really think the Kurapika we know would get arrested?" She questioned in annoyance, "And it's almost impossible for a hunter to get arrested..."

As the three of them bickered about Kurapika, Killua stood few steps away from them, a thoughtful look in his sharp blue eyes.

"You know..." He muttered as he eyes them with his hands in his pocket.

The three of them turned towards them listening to what he had to say.

"My dad did kill one of the members of the Ryodan for work..."

"Huh?!"

A look of realization appeared in Nijika's eyes as she nodded her head to herself.

"My brother helped Silva-San...." The female muttered as she made eye contact with the Zoldyck.

Killua had a stoic look on his face, "I rarely saw him in that state. He even said, 'Surprisingly it wasn't an easy task'... I can tell you that it's quite a eulogy to his opponent but..." The male paused as if he was recalling the memory, "What he told us at that time.... 'Don't ever touch the Ryodan' It was two or three years ago..."

"Oi, did you tell Kurapika?" Leolio questioned.

Killua shook his head as he scowled, "Huh? Nope. Why should I have?"

Nijika stepped forwards and placed a hand on the male's shoulder, "It's ok, he already knows about it since I told him my brother killed one of them with Silva-San..."

The males looked at the female for a moment and nodded.

"Now, the problem is to know what we will do," Gon said as he looked at Killua and Nijika.

The teen dressed in green clutched his hand and gave himself a determined nod, "I'm gonna do it. Like the proverb says: nothing ventured, nothing gained."

Killua and Nijika shared a look before sighing and smiling at their friend.

"I guess we have to help you then..." They both muttered as they grinned.

'Sorry Sorata. But it seems like I'm breaking the promise already....' Nijika thought as she pushed the thought of her brother at the very back of her mind.

>>TIME SKIPS>>

"I'm in point A, no target in sight," Gon spoke into his phone as he sat in a chair in a crowded area.

"Nothing at point B," Leolio grumbled as his eyes shifted through the crowd searching for anything suspicious.

"Nor point C," Killua commented as he walked through the airport, seeming to be a regular teen.

The three males waited for their female friend to speak but they frowned when they didn't hear her. Until they heard a growl.

"I told you! I'm not interested!" They heard her yell at someone.

The three males immediately became confused as they tried to listen carefully.

"Come on! Just a cup of tea!" A male voice spoke.

Another animalistic growl was heard through their phones, "Give it a break! I'm meeting someone!"

Killua and Leolio sweat dropped when they realized what was going on, a guy is trying to pick her up. Gon on the other hand cocked his head to the side in confusion.

"Hey don't be like tha-Ugha!"

The males sighed as they heard the wind being knocked out of the male.

"Hey, sorry guys," Nijika spoke into her phone as she rubbed her knuckles that were slightly pink, "Nothing at point D except dogs that can't keep their sausage in their pants," she growled as she gave a quick look back, eyeing the male that was clutching his stomach.

Killua chuckled as he ended the call, going to the place he was suppose to meet the three of them.

As he arrived he noticed that the three of them have already arrived, patiently waiting for him.

"Yo!" Killua raised one hand and greeted his friends who nodded and smiled at him in greeting.

"Four hours of searching without finding anything...." Leolio sighed as the four of them walked the streets, heading towards the motel they were staying at.

"Bah," Killua muttered as he placed his hands over his head, "There was no doubt about it, I was expecting this."

Leolio frowned as his glasses went crooked on his nose, "Huh? Are you implying that my plan wasn't good?" The man in the suit glared at the smaller boy who nonchalantly walked beside him.

"Well that's not what I really mean," Killua said as he gave the older man a pointed look, "If the thieves know they're being pursued by the mafia, it's doubtful that they'll show themselves in the crowd."

The female of the group placed a hand on Killua's shoulder taking control on explaining to Leolio, "There's also a possibility they aren't in York Shin anymore, and remember we are going against criminals that have killed thousands, we can't underestimate them."

The three bickered with each other as Gon quietly listened, not really bright enough to join in the talk.

"You know what..." Nijika grumbled as she stopped walking.

The three males turned towards her in question, not sure what she was planning.

"We need money... That's what we need to do first...." Nijika stated as she gave the males a stern look, "I'm going out for the night, I'll try to do something. Meet me tomorrow around main park at noon?"

"Eh?" Gon questioned out loud, "We'll go with you a Nijika!"

The female shook her head but stopped for a moment, "Actually, wait...." Nijika trained her eyes on Killua, "I might have use if Killua came with me."

The said male's ears perked up as he heard the female's comment, "Heh? Am I needed?"

Nijika nodded her head and looked at the two other males, "How does splitting up sound?" The small female questioned as Killua walked to her.

Gon seemed unsure for a moment, a look of worry appearing in his eyes, "Um ok... If Killua is with Nijika he can protect her...."

The two silvernette a shared a look and nodded at their two other companions before they walked off, heading towards the city.

"So..." Killua spoke interested in what the female was planning on doing.

"Hey Killua what are we?" The female questioned as she walked through the lighted city not bothering as males called after her.

"Human." The male bluntly said making Nijika role her eyes in annoyances.

"No dummy, what is our blood heritage?" The female questioned, changing the questioned, "Who are our family?"

A look of realization appeared in Killua's blue eyes. He suddenly had a sadistic smile on his face as he eyed the female beside him.

She too was smiling though it wasn't that bone chilling, "We're gonna do what assassins are suppose to do...."
