Trap ✖ in the ✖ Hole

Gon was humiliated, after Hisoka recvered the tags taken by Gerreta. As for Killua...

"You're wasting your time. I'll never give you an opening to attack" Killua said.

"Tremble with fear. Wear yourself out. I'm a very cautious man. I go to any lengths necessary, even when facing a child" Imori said in his mind and then he smirks.

"Once he exhausts himself, and has no choice but to sleep, I'LL ATTACK!" Imori laughs.

"I'm a very catious man"

"Man... If you're not gonna show yourself, I'll come to you"

"Huh?"

"What a pain... You're only worth one point to me"

"He wants to fight? I can't possibly lose, right? He's just a kid. But... Why is he so calm? Is he really that strong? Right... I'm a very catious man. I should esca... I mean I should back off. But.. My brothers will yell at me. Actually, if I go back without taking his tag, THEY'LL DEFINITELY YELL AT ME!" then his brothers shows up at his back.

"Bro!" Killua notices them.

"We ran into a trouble" Amori said.

"You're done, right?" then the two brothers saw Killua with his tag.

"YOU IDIOT!" Amori kicks Imori.

"YOU CAN'T EVEN BEAT A LITTLE KID?" Umori punches Imori.

"Y-you've got it wrong, Amo!"

"What do I have wrong?" Amori asked.

"I-I didn't want to hurt a little kid. So I'd figured I'll take it while he slept"

"You're lying through your teeth!" Umori said.

"F-fine! If you insists, that leads me no choice. Time for a beat down" Chika arrives and he approaches Killua.

"Hey, Killua"

"Oh, Chika. Have you stole Kurapika's ID?"

"Well yeah. I kinda harm him a little. B-but he's fine!" Chika said and Amori saw Chika's ID on her chest.

"#96. It's her!"

"Huh?" Killua and Chika overhears them.

"What are you talking about, Amo?" Imori asked.

"#96. She's my target"

"She's also my target too" Umori said.

"B-BUT I THOUGHT YOU TWO ARE DONE!"

"Well, I already stole three" Umori said.

"But I only have one more tag" Amori said.

"You lied to me..." Imori mutters.

"Anyway, let's beat these kids into a pulp" Amori apsaid and his two brothers agrees.

"I think I want to knock them out. We can kill them, right?" Chika asked.

"Yeah. It's up to you what method you want" Killua said.

"Oh, well. They look normal" the two brothers walks to Chika while Imori charges to Killua.

"Hey, brats. Just give us your tags" Imori said.

"Or else we won't hurt you" Umori said.

"Don't underestimate us, too" Amori said.

"Stupid" the two said simultaneously. Amori and Imori kicks them off and they're being drag away.

"Don't say we didn't warn you" Imori said.

"Aw, what a pity. A boy and a girl" Amori said.

"What do you feel now, brats? Must hurt like a bitch" Umori said and Chika stands up while Killua stands up using his two feet.

"Huh?"

"Chika, are you ok?"

"Yeah. It doesn't hurt a bit. It's like I want to beat these small fries"

"#198, huh?" Killua said holding it from his pocket.

"What? No way..." Imori checks it in his pocket.

"Since it's only a number off from the one I'm after, maybe #199 is one of your two buddies?" Killua thinks while throwing the tag up.

"Behh..." Chika mocks them by putting her tongue out.

"Umori..." Amori calls.

"Yeah"

"Get in formation. Time to get serious. These two aren't ordinary kids" Umori said and they do a formation. Hanzo watches them. Now the three brothers are now in formation.

"It doesn't matter how strong they are. They stand no chance against our teamwork" Amori said in his head.

"We three have defeated many tough opponents with this formation" Umori said.

"Just you wait... We're gonna rip you two into shreds" Imori said.

"Chika, I'll handle this"

"Okay!" Killua jumps from above and then he appears behind Amori. Killua kicks his legs and Amori falls onto his knees. Killua holds him and his nails become sharp.

"Don't move. My fingers are sharper than knives" Killua warns Amori. Killua touches his neck and the blood flows. Amori shivers in fear.

"Huh? You're #197? I'm so bad at guessing these things..."

"Really? I think he's #199" Chika points Umori. Umori moves fast and he holds Chika's hand at the back.

"Let go of him and we'll spare her" Umori said.

"What?"

"Don't worry, Killua. Electric shock" Umori is electrocuted and she gets his tag from his pocket.

"#199" Chika shows it.

"Thanks, Chika! Now, for the tags I don't need...." Hanzo smirks and Killua throws the tag, like a flying saucer, behind.

"And the other one goes this way..." Killua throws the other infront of Umori and Amori then it flies up.

"You still have three days. Goodluck finding them. Chika, let's go" Chika follows Killua.

"Damn it!" Amori is frustated.

"Killua, you're so cool. I'm glad I have a friend like you. Eventhough you're an assassin" Chika said happily.

"Stop it! You're embarrassing me"

"Huh? You don't like compliments"

"Oh, Chika. What technique did you use a while ago?"

"Hm? It's a secret"

"I understand. I wonder what Gon's doing"

"Oh that reminds me. I have good news for you..."

Meanwhile Hanzo caught the tag. Then he realizes it's not his.

"I've failed" he falls to his knees.

"I can't believe he noticed me back there. #197 was always accompanied by #199. I was expecting he threw #197" the tag he caught was #198. Meanwhile....

"Six days have passed. Only one day left..." Leorio said and they're finding Ponzu.

"It's been four days since we ran into Hisoka. And we haven't seen anyone else" Kurapika said.

"Hmm... Wanna head back to the starting point?" Leorio asked.

"It's possible that people have already finished"

"No, we won't find anyone there. This place is unique because you have a chance to recover your tag if you lose it. On the other hand, you might have six points in tags right now. But that doesn't guarantee you'll have them when the phase ends. You can't finish it early"

"I see" Leorio said in disappointment.

"But it's worth a shot. Only one day remains. People who had already six points will be inclined to wait near the goal. I would do the same" Kurapika said.

"Okay. Let's go" Leorio said. Later they go near the sea where they started and hiding in the bushes.

"Well? Anyone there?" Kurapika asked.

"No..."

"No one that can be easily spotted"

"Damn..."

"Perhaps we should split up to search after we decide on a time and place to reconvene" Kurapika said.

"It'll go faster with three people" Gon jumps down of the tree.

"Gon!"

"I guess we had all the same idea. I've been watching from above and a number of people are nearby" Gon said.

"Really? I see.... We should search from above" Leorio suggests.

"That won't work. It's only possible if you have eyes as sharp as Gon's" Kurapika said.

"Gon"

"Huh?"

"Do you have the tags you need?"

"Yeah. I guess"

"Damn, so I'm the only one without enough points" Leorio said.

"Leorio, who's your target?" Gon asked.

"#246, a woman named Ponzu. I heard that she uses chemical weapons. Gon, did you see any woman when you were up there?"

"Nope"

"I see"

"We can assume that there are four possiblities. She's in good shape and she still has her tag. She's in good shape but she lost her tag. She's out of action but she still has her tag. She's out of action and she doesn't have the tag" Kurapika thinks.

"Is it really likely that she'd still have her tag if she's out of action?" Leorio asked.

"Is she were caught in a sudden accident, or if she were defeated after hiding the tag. If she died after concealing the tag, we won't be able to find it"

"Sounding grimmer by the second"

"Hey, do you know anything else about Ponzu? Does she wear a special perfume, like Leorio with his cologne?" Gon asked Kurapika and Leorio is confuse.

"Oh, that's right. Gon can follow her scent!"

"But she might not wear any perfume"

"He can smell the chemical she uses"

"She's known for using drugs, right? Some of them must have strong scents. Well, Gon?"

"Okay. I'll give it a shot. That's why I'm here" Gon said. Later, Gon is smelling Ponzu's scent while Kurapika and Leorio follows him. Then they arrive infront of a cave.

"Is she in there, Gon?" Leorio asked.

"Yep, definitely"

"What do you want to do?" Kurapika asked.

"I'm going inside. You guys wait here" Leorio said. He brings a stick and he goes inside the cave. Leorio touches the walls using the stick.

"There don't appear to be any traps" Leorio thinks.

"I'll head inside. Don't enter until I give the okay" Leorio said to the two.

"Thirty minutes" Kurapika said.

"Huh?"

"If we don't hear anything from you after thirty minutes, we're coming in" Kurapika said and Gon agrees.

"Unacceptable. If that happens, you guys should return to the start" Leorio said.

"I can't do that. Since we've teamed up, I won't abandon you now"

"Then I quit the team" Leorio heads to the cave.

"It's selfish, considering all the help you've given me, but I'll do this alone"

"No" Gon disagrees.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Leorio runs to Gon.

"We're staying here, no matter what you say. Still got a problem?" Leorio is suprised and he gets something from his pocket and gives his suitcase to Gon.

"Hold onto that for me" Kurapika and Gon is happy. Leorio uses a lighter and goes inside the cave. Then he saw light infront of him he closes the lighter.

"I have to go for it..." Leorio walks towards the light and he brings out his knife. When he gets inside he saw an applicant sitting.

"Isn't that... Bourbon?"

"I'm guessing that I'm your target?" Ponzu guesses and she sits at the side.

"Ponzu!"

"There's no point. We gain nothing by fighting here"

"I have everything to gain. It's just as you said... You're my target!"

"Let's pretend a miracle occurs and you defeat me. You still won't be able to leave this cave"

"What? What do you mean?" it's already sunset and Kurapika and Gon are waiting.

"He's taking too long. Is Leorio ok?" Gon asked.

"Yeah. It's been nearly thirty minutes" Kurapika said.

"KURAPIKA! GON! DON'T COME IN!" Leorio shouts and the two runs inside immediately. Then when they reach the light, they saw Leorio on the ground bitten by snake bites.

"Leorio!"

"Fools... Why did you enter the cave?"

"He has bites all over his body. If those snakes were venomous..."

"They're vipers. Their poison isn't that strong. But he's been bitten too many times!" Gon said and he's sipping the poison and he spits it.

"S-stop it. If you have any cavities or open wounds in your mouth..."

"No problem" Gon grins to show his teeth.

"Leorio, do you have any serums in here?" Kurapika asked.

"If I have, I could have saved you guys..." Leorio passes out.

"Leorio!"

"Anyway, we have to stop the bleeding" Kurapika said.

"Uh-huh" then they put bandages on Leorio's wounds.

"That should do it"

"We need to take him to the doctor!" Gon said and they carry Leorio.

"I would stop if I were you. You cannot leave" Ponzu said.

"What do you mean?" Kurapika asked.

"When someone tries to exit this cave, snakes attack them" the two gasps seeing the snakes infront of them.

"Bourbon, the snake charmer, set this trap. If you're bitten, you'll end up paralyzed like he is. And then you'll die" the two steps back.

"Bourbon! You're looking for tags, right? We'll give you every tag in our possession. So let us out of here!" Kurapika said.

"It's no use. He's already dead"

"D-dead?" then there are snakes around him.

Gon and his friends have been caught in Bourbon the snake charmer's trap, and can't leave the cave. Will they pass the Hunter Exam? Will Leorio sipurvive the venomous snake bites?

A/N: Yey! At last I finish it... Hahaha. I can't finish it yesterday because I'm in a public place. But at least I finish it hehehe. I just watched My Hero Academia the whole day yesterday. I love that anime 😙😙😙. Hihihihi... Anyway, vote and comment on this chapter and I'll be doing some business today. Bye bye~nya 😽😽😽
