Chapter 12

Sasuke lingered to the side, needing to catch a better glimpse at the powerful girl. Each of them knew it, her chakra was massive."Canary-san," Gon's chipperness echoed through the forest, "It's been a while!"They high-fived.Naruto scratched his head, "Who is she again?"Sakura rolled her eyes."This is our friend, and one of the Zoldyck Butlers," Gon stated, beaming with pride, "She helped us get to Killua when his brother was torturing him."Killua chuckled, "Well, you could hardly call it torture," he looked to the massive mountain in the distance."Let's go," Kurapika smiled slightly, "It'll take us about two hours to get there, from what I remember."Gon jumped on the spot, "Not if we race there!"Immediately, as soon as Killua returned his best friend's grin, his aura turned into electricity again, and like before, it engulfed him.Gon pouted, "No fair!" But once the words were out of his mouth, Killua had vanished.In the next instant, Gon was out of sight too.None of the Leaf Ninja ever thought about how fast Gon could actually run.Sasuke sighed as Kurapika made eye contact with him."Don't worry, I'm not like them, they're ridiculously strong for Hunters," Kurapika pulled off his blue poncho, "But that doesn't mean they're going to win."Naruto smiled, "Ya- dattebayo!!" ********"How-" Sakura panted, placing her hands on her knees, but then pointed at Killua, "-No, Teach me that." Imagine the power I'd have if my chakra was made of lightening!The white haired boy shrugged his shoulders, "Can you even withstand electric shocks?"Kakashi placed a hand on Sakura's head, willing her to calm down, "Not many can, Killua-kun.""Naruto," Gon patted the shorter boy on the shoulder, not really wanting the bicker to continue, "Ready to see Killua's house? Hehe~," he giggled, and with that, he gave a quick nod to Canary to open the front doors."Killuu!!!!" A shrill voice screamed, "Howww dare you leave without even saying a word of goodbye!!!"Killua rolled his eyes."What is that!" Sasuke glared, covering up his ears."My okaa-san," Killua frowned.The figure came closer, giving the ninja more of a shock.She had some sort of goggles on, and her dress was old fashioned, and she seemed to be gliding with a small shadow behind her."Old hag," Killua stepped forward, "Ore-"He immediately ducked from a lethal blow to the head, then twisted so that her arm was used as leverage to flip her over. "Okaa-sama!" A little girl in a yukata squealed.Killua dusted off his pants, "Get up already- and stop fawning over me like that, it gives me the creeps."Naruto's head whipped from the ex-assassin to his mother, who was now crying-- while smiling."Killuuu!~" she wiped her tears, "You're going to be a great heir someday! The way you broke my arm while flipping me! It was perfect!"Her voice was as shrill as before."Ehhhh!!!?? Heir!" Sakura yelled, she raised her eyebrows at Canary, who nodded shyly.Gon frowned, as did Kurapika."We're here for Illumi, Hag," Her son managed to say it with ice in his veins."Oh," she slumped, "He's not here, Killu, well, he stopped by to say that he was successful then--""Che," Killua hit the wall with the side of his fist, only to have Gon and Kurapika place a hand on him.Kakashi shifted on his feet, "So where is he?" The lady shrugged, "Off to kill somebody else, obviously.""This isn't some game," Sakura stood taller, "Ninja have lost their lives, and you're just taking it lightly?" She clenched her jaw.Killua's mother shrugged, "A living is a living, we just do what we do best."Sasuke spat on the ground, while Naruto's rage grew.Killua tried not to make eye contact with any of the ninja, as Gon looked at Kurapika for help.Kurapika sighed, "Could you tell us whom he's gone to kill then?" Chains appeared on Kurapika's right hand, as one hung down in front of her face.She smiled, "What a fearsome ability you have," she was still on the ground, and her arm still broken, but she showed no signs of pain, or fear.Kakashi studied her, but felt uneasy at her calmness.It was as if she had no other thoughts, except  two; who to kill, and who not to kill. But it wouldn't matter anyway, if she decided to kill us...

Kurapika kept his eyes concentrated on the dangling chain as she spoke."A boy named Itachi."
