Third person POV

-17 years ago-

The two wooden gates hung open, and beyond it was the tottering piles of dead and broken cars. Everything of any value had been stripped away and only the rusting carcasses remained, heaped one on top of the other.

A smile crept on the man's face as he viewed the scenery from high above.

"Yup, this place is it." He nodded before slowly descending down from the sky, landing on top of one of the piled broken cars.

"Out of all, the places you can go, why Meteor city?" Another man with a turban-like cap asked.

He sat on the ground with his right hand resting on his right knee and his hazel eyes gazed through the piles of junks feeling disinterested at the sight.

"Nah, it's just my gut's feeling. My instinct tells me that the one I'm searching for would be here." The man grinned as he rested his hands on his waist.

The other man just sighed hearing his friend's response.

"You're still going on about that? Do you really want to die that much?" His hazel eyes trailed up to the man with black-haired man.

"If I were to die, I would want someone exceptional to kill me."

"If you really wanted to die, I could always accomplish that goal for you." The black-haired man chuckled.

"You won't do that."

"What makes you so sure?" He smirked.

"Because I'm the only best friend you have, Ging." The black-haired man laughed.

"And besides, Lin will kill you if you did that and then we'll both end up in heaven."

-Present time-

"Danchou! You're back and you've brought the girl too!" Shalnark exclaimed as the two figures entered the hideout.

"This sneaky little brat! If you make Danchou go all the way out just to retrieve you, I'll--"

"You'll what? Kill me? I'd like to see you try." Rin smirked at the man.

Phinks clenched his fist tight containing the anger that had been building up ever since the boss left to retrieve her.

"Why this cocky--"

"That's enough Phinks. There's no need for you to worry yourself, she won't be leaving this place as of now."

"Tch, Danchou, I don't trust this girl. For all, I know she would sneak her way out again."

Hearing his response, Rin began to scoff.

"Well aren't you Mr. Genius? Yeah, I could find my way out anytime I want but I won't. Like it or not, I'm staying." She said silencing the man.

While there was silence between them, Rin took a look at the boss and said;

"You told me I can do anything I want, right?"

Chrollo nodded his head.

"Then, I'll be resting in one of the rooms. If you excuse me..."

With that, Rin left the area heading to one of the rooms as she had already intended.
