We were sitting on Gons floor, after seeing the tape re wind, we had lost any potential evidence we had.

"Your dads tough, like really tough." Killua said, smirking at gon. I only hummed in thought. Is he really that strong?

"Since this tapes useless now, we only have two clues left." Killua said, looking at the box. "A ring and memory card." I said, cutting killua off.

He only glared at me before speaking. "I doubt the ring will be any help, but the memory card could be important." He said as we gazed at the box holding it.

"Yeah, it's smaller than a usual memory card." Gon replied. I titled my head in confusion. "Huh? There can be more than one size?" I asked.

Killua only scoffed at me. "Of course there is. It all depends on the game and the console." He said. I only nodded at him, understanding it a bit better now.

"You think we need exclusive hard ware?" Gon asked. "Huh? You can't tell?" He said, looking at gon and I.

"No..?" I said. He then picked up the card. "This only works with a JS." He said. "Oh yeah, I've heard of that before." I said.

Back at the orphanage we actually had one gaming console. Before it broke, the kids and I would take turns playing various games. Untill the head mistress got angry and broke it.

"JS?" Gon asked. "It's a gaming consol called the joy station." I explained, making gon turn to me. "It can run various games on it, but apparently you need certain memory cards for it." I said, looking at the memory card in killuas hand.

"Man even Kuzuko knew that. You don't know anything do you?" Killua said. I snapped my head towards him. "Your lucky I'm friends with you." I said, sighing.

"Hey gon, is there a toy store here?" Killua asked. I perked up, I've never been to one! "Is there?!" I said, hopeful

"Ysertaeah there is." He said. Killua then stood up. "Kuzuko wanna come with me?" He said, peering down at me. I nodded my head yes frantically.

We then ran down the stairs, and out the door. "Oh and where are you going?" Mito asked, looking at the two of us.

"To the toy store!" I said, with a glint of happiness in my eye. "It's outside the port!" We heard gon yell, "got it!" Killua yelled as we ran down the hill.

"Kuzuko, have you really never been to one?" Killua said as we ran. "No not really. Every now and then, the Head mistress of the orphanage would bring back stuffed animals, but we never actually got to experience that." I said, remembering that awful place. He only nodded as we entered the store.

"Wow there's so many things!" I said as I ran around the isles. I saw a vending machine, so I ran over to it, entering 123 Jenny to get a soda.

"This is my new favorite thing.." I whispered as I took a sip. "Kuzuko, I got the JS." Killua said, walking up to me.

He sighed as he saw me with the soda. "That's the first thing you buy?" He said, looking at me disappointed. "Hell yeah! I love soda!" I said as I took another sip. He only scoffed as we walked out, running back to the house with the JS.

"So this is a joy station." Gon said as he peered down at the console. "This brings back memories." Killua said as he held the station in his hand "I used to play with these all the time." He explained. I only sat there and watched.

"There was a lot of hidden gems for this console." Killua explained as he sat down the station, no longer holding it.

"Gems? Like there was actually stones in it?" I said, unfamiliar with the term. Killua then smacked me over the head. "Quit being a smart ass!" He yelled. I only rubbed my head, confused.

"I don't see a title written anywhere on it." Gon said as he turns the card over. "You've never played any video games before, have you?" Killua said as he hooked up the tv.

"It's weird" he continued. "Really?" Gon asked, I only shrugged. "Not really.." I said, even though we had a playstation, I never really played it that often.

"That isn't a game disc. It just holds a game's memory data." Killua explained. "Your supposed to put the disc in here." Killua said as he pressed a button, making the lid open.

Killua then slid the game card in, turning it on. A green and yellow screen appeared, shaping the games that hold that data.

"Looks like there's only one game saved on it." Killua said as he messed with the buttons "what is it?" I asked, leaning in closer between the boys.

Killua then turned his head, unknowingly how close I was. he jumped back for a second, as we were both real close for a second there. A coat of pink appeared on his face as he stuttered to speak. "I-It's called greed island." He said.

"Greed island?" Gon asked. Killua then got his composure back. "Anyway, there's a bunch of saves on it." He said, looking at the screen.

"I doubt it'll do any good, but I'll copy the data just incase." Killua said, looking at gon. He then inserted another game card, as the consol spoke. "Copying greed island." It said.

Killua then stood up, going over to Gons computer, turning it on. I too stood up and leaned over his shoulder, wondering what he was doing.

"What are you doing?" Gon asked, reading my thoughts. "Searching online." Killua responded. "Since we know the games name, I'm looking for a store that might sell it." He explained.

I looked at the screen and saw 0 matches. Does that mean that no one has it? "Huh? Not a single match?!" Killua yelled as we stared at the screen

Gon then stood up, walking over to us. "Does that mean it's out of stock?" He asked. I said nothing as I continued to see what killua was looking up.

"Looks like there isn't any used copies either." He said. I tilted my head in confusion. "An out of stock game would still have some used copies floating around." He explained.

"Maybe this game is one of those rare Jems you were talking about." Bringing back the jem thing. Killua snapped his head at me, annoyed. "Kuzuko" he said, I tilted my head at him.

"You...your so dumb." He said, sighing as he looked away from me. Killua then continued to speak. "It's possible that this game isn't for sale." He explained.

"What do you mean?" Gon asked. I sighed as I sat down on Gons bed, bored. "It could be an indie game. It was never for sale or was banned for some reason." He spoke.

"Why would someone ban a game?" I asked, confused. He then turned to me. "There could be many reasons, but if I had to guess it was because the game wasn't advertised right." He explained. I only nodded slowly.

"Anyways, I'm going to go keep searching." He said. I then sat up from the bed, "okay well while you do that I'm going to go get us some food." I said, walking out the door.

As I walked downstairs, I saw aunt mito. "Oh Kuzuko." She said, smiling at me. "Hey mito..can we have some food?" I asked, not knowing what to say.

"Yes of course." She said, walking to the pantry. She then handed me some chips and some fruit. "Thank you!" I said before I walked back upstairs.

"I'm back." I said as I walked into the room, placing the chips on the counter.

"What did you guys find?" Killua then turned to me. "Greed island is a game for hunters, but it has a huge price tag.." he said as he sighed.

"How much we talking?" I said as I walked over. "5billion, 800 million Jenny." My eyes widened "5 billion?!" I yelled.

"Only 100 copies were made too." Gon said, looking at me. "Only 100? The devs must of been cocky.." I said, closing my eyes.

"That's what I said! We think alike." Killua said, smirking at me. I only paused and said nothing as I looked at the computer.

'5 billion huh? Can we really make that much?' I thought as I stared at the ground.
