The five of us were riding a train. Kurapika and Leorio were sitting together while Gon, Killua, and I were sitting across from them.

"Eh? You're here on a tourist visa?" Kil asked the three boys. “Why? Didn't you pass the Hunter Exam? You could've just used your Hunter License. It lets you stay in other countries for as long as you want."

"That's what we said." Kurapika sighed out.

"But he wouldn't listen.” Leorio sighed as he motioned to Gon,  “he just said that he won't use it."

"I already decided.” Gon spoke. “I'm not using the license until I've finished what I need to do."

"Hey, what is it that you have to do, anyways?" I gave him a serious look.

"I think you wouldn't like the idea, sis."

"I don't care. Just tell me. Or what? Are you hiding secrets from me now?"

'I shouldn't be talking, but he would never hide secrets from me. Yet here I am hiding secrets from him...'

He looked through his pocket. "The tag that Hisoka gave me!" He showed us a tag with a '#44' on it. "I'll return it to Hisoka when I punch him in the face! Until I do that, my sister and I won't use our Hunter License. We can't go back to Whale Island, either. "

"Huh?! What?! Are you--" I stopped and mumbled an 'okay, fine.' After all, I did say I didn't really care for the Hunter Exam.

"Hmmm...So, where's Hisoka?" Killua asked him and Gon laughed nervously.

"Uh..."

"Thought so..."

"I know where he is, Gon."

We all looked at the blonde male.

"How?" I asked.

"He told me."

"So that's what he said..." Leorio trailed off.

"No, this was after the orientation." Kurapika corrected.

"But it's still related, right?"

"I suppose so."

"I've been itching to ask… What did Hisoka say to you?"

I felt my heart clenched in pain as I saw how his eyes were burning with rage but they weren't red.

"He told me...'I have some information for you regarding the spider.'"

"The Phantom Troupe?" Leorio and I asked.

"I do not recall mentioning the Phantom Troupe to Hisoka. So either he overheard our conversation during the first stage, or he heard of it from another. The spider is the Phantom Troupe's symbol, so those familiar with the organization refer to the Troupe as such. I was interested in his information. After the orientation, I asked him about it. And he told me: 'I shall await you in Yorknew City, on September 1st.'"

"September 1st?" We all asked.

"Then you've still got over half a year. What's going to happen in Yorknew City?" I asked.

Leorio snapped his finger. "Oh! They'll hold the world's largest auction."

"Correct. From September 1st through September 10th, there will be an auction for unusual items, rare goods, and national treasures from around the around the world. The event attracts all manner of nasty folk who come looking to satisfy their greed. It's the biggest gathering of money in the world." Kurapika explained.

'Huh, sounds interesting...'

"So the Troupe will be there?" Gon questioned.

"They're a group of bandits. They would not let this chance escape. So on that day, Hisoka will be somewhere in Yorknew City."

"Okay. September 1st. Got it. Thanks." Gon smiled but it wasn't happy or bright.

Once we got off the train, we each went to a different way. Kurapika left to find a patron to employ him as a Hunter, Leorio left to go home so he can make his dream come true of becoming a doctor and Killua, Gon and I stayed together.

"It's just the three of us now. Hey, what do you want to do?" Gon asked us as he looked at us.

"You have to ask? We train, obviously." Kil said plainly.

"Huh? Train for what? Shouldn't we have fun?"

"Do you remember what you just said? Think you can punch Hisoka in the face without training?" Killua said as a vein showed on his cheek. "You couldn't land a punch in 10 years, let alone six months!" He yelled at my poor brother.

An anime vein popped on my head and I softly hit Kil on the head. "Idiot!"

"Ow! What was that for? Shouldn't that have been for your brother?"

"I can't make myself hit Gon so I hit you instead!" I said smiling cheerfully.

"Gish.” Kil rolled his eyes at before before glancing at my brother. “Gon, I'll make it easy for you to understand." He bent down on his knees and he started drawing on the dirt.

"This is Hisoka. This is Hanzo. "

'Why is Hisoka bald?' I thought as I looked at the two faces Kil drew.

"If this is the gap between Hisoka and Hanzo, in terms of strength, the gap between Hisoka and you--" He drew a line under Hanzo and he kept going far, far away from us until he was at the other side. "--is this far! And I'm being generous." Kil said loudly.

I felt my eyelid twitch. 'I hate to admit this but that's basically the truth...'

"Then where are you?" Gon grumbled cutely.

"Me? Well, probably around here." He said as he drew his face near Hanzo.

"And your sister would probably be… here.” He drew my face next to Hanzo. “Well, your sister and Hanzo are almost the same."

"Oh, that's awesome, sis! But depressing at the same time.."

"Why?" I raised a brow.

"Because you're stronger than Killua and I. I wonder why is that..."

‘You're wrong. I’m not physically strong. I’m only this strong in terms of my nen.’

I glanced at him, "maybe because I'm always protecting you?"

Killua gave me a look that said 'I-know-already' and I was confused but decided to ignore him as the three of us started walking.

"Well, in any case, Hisoka is strong. You won't land a blow on him in six months through normal means. Do you two have any money?"

"Actually, we're running out..." We said simultaneously.

"I don't have much, either.” He smirked, “but there's somewhere we can train and earn money at the same time."

"And that ‘somewhere’ is?" I tilted my head.

"The Heavens Arena. I'll explain later. We should get moving."

"Okay!"

--✮--✮--✮--

After bidding farewell to Kurapika and Leorio, with promises to meet again in Yorknew City, the twins and Killua now head to a new stage, the Heavens Arena.
