"What's going on inside there?" Gon asked. "Don't ask me, I don't even know." Killua frowned.
"He's killing her!!!" Leorio yelled and the two looked at him in dead eyes. "OI!!!KUraa..."
Gon yelled but was stopped by Killua. "Don't shout. He'll realize we are listening. Don't worry
I'm sure everything is fine in there....I hope..." Killua gulped and pressed his ears on the
door again. Leorio and Gon looked at each other then did the same. "It's my jewel..Give it back!!!"
The girl shouted. "Don't shout at me girl!!! Why don't you just confess that you stole this!!!" Kurapika
shouted back. "Because it's mine and I didn't steal it!!!!" The girl yelled again. "I told you not
to shout!" Kurapika yelled too. "Darn it! you're so persistent! And I have a name, stop calling me girl!!"
the girl answered back. "You're persistent too...and uh.. who are you anyway?" Kurapika asked.
All went silent and the trio pressed their ears hard on the door to hear a word. "What? what?
what happened?" Leorio asked. "SHHH!!!" Killua and Gon frowned at him and pressed their ears on
the door again. "They are still talking.. but i can't hear it clearly." Killua whispered. "That's
weird. At first I thought they won't stop shouting at each other." Gon snickered. "Are you sure everything
is fine in there?" Leorio asked again. "Leorio...Calm down. I'm sure you will still have plenty of
time to talk with the girl. Or maybe you can even take her out." Killua and Gon giggled. Teasing
Leorio like this was always fun especially when it involved a girl. "I hope so.. That is if Kurapika
won't burn her on the spot. He seems so mad about that girl and the necklace. Sheesh.. Darn Kurapika."
Leorio scratched his head. "But all i know is that i believe in the girl." He added. "You always
believe someone especially when it is a girl." Killua frowned. "Don't you think we should go in
and check out if everything is okay?" Gon said worriedly. "I have this feeling..that..." He continued
and looked at Killua who then refused to look at Leorio. Because he knew that he will also see the
same worried expression (only funnier) on Leorio's face. Killua sighed, then signalled Gon that
they will charge in any minute. Gon is always so sweet and naive, and that's what made him special.

"I'm Su...of the Kuruta." Su looked at Kurapika in very serious eyes. Kurapika refused to look at
her eyes nor believe in her. But he admit to himself that what he saw in Su's eyes..was pure sincerity..
and innocence..not to mention fear. But why fear? She didn't looked like a girl who fears anything.
But there was, and he saw it. And with that, he wanted to know more about Su. Who is she? Why does
she have the neclace? Why does she say she is from the Kuruta? She knows him, He doesn't, and then..
there's the fear in her eyes. "alright Su.. you are a prisoner here.. We are your captors..do know
that fact. And whatever I ask you, you will answer me....TRULY and STRAIGHTLY." Kurapika looked at Su who is now
frowning. "What?" He asked. "Why? Why is it so hard for you to accept all this?" Su asked.
"Why is it so hard for you to tell the truth?" Kurapika questioned. "It's because I am telling the truth
and you are the only one who is stubborn enough to accept all of it." Su answered back. "You have no
right to tell me whether i'm stubborn or not!" Kurapika exploded. "Alright then.." I'm sorry"
Su looked at Kurapika. They were both stubborn, and they admit it to themselves. Suddenly, a loud
bang was heard. Both looked at what was it and what caused it. It was Gon, Killua and Leorio. They
fell flat on the floor after banging the door open. Gon used too much of his Nen power to open
the door. "um..Onna-chan! Daijoubu?" Gon quickly asked as soon as he got up, leaving Killua and Leorio
Growning on the floor. "Kurapika, stop harassing the girl!" Leorio shouted as he stood up and
marched right at Su's side. Su looked up at him and sweat dropped. "Don't worry young lady.. I'm
here to protect you." Leorio winked. "Wha...GUYS!!!!" Kurapika growled. "Hey easy there Kurapika,
It was their idea not mine... And we accidentally heard.." Killua was cut off by Kurapika. "You mean,
you were listening." He frowned. "Yeah, yeah so what? No harm done." Killua frowned back. "Kurapika-kun..
I think it's time for us to talk about this with Everyone especially miss..." Gon blushed and looked
at Su but failed to ask her name out of shyness. "Su.. My name is Su." Su smiled and so did Gon.
"Wow, She must have read my mind." Gon blushed again and went out the room.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Days passed and Su stayed with the four guys. Kurapika wasn't very happy about the idea. Especially
when he said to Su that she was a prisoner. But his pals doesn't seem to treat her as one at all.
Everyday, they went to see a new place ever since they learned that Su was new there. But
Kurapika thinks she's lying. Su always said that Kurapika must trust her but he didn't want to.
Gon and Killua found comfort with Su and she was very nice to them. Leorio was too sweet with the
approach that even the two boys are terrified with him. Everyday, they goof around, the four of them
except Kurapika but he was always standing guard at the back. And everytime Su looks back at him,
he gets surprised then shows her his frowning face. "Guys, I think it's time for us to go back to
our bunk. Sightseeing is enough thank you." Kurapika suggested. "Yeah, Kurapika's right, this
ice cream that you placed on my face is all sticky." Gon frowned at Killua who is giigling wildly.
"hee hee, looks good on you," Killua answered back. "Alright, guys, that's enough. Little miss here
is also tired." Leorio winked at Su who sweatdropped back. "Maybe it's not a good idea to make her
comfortable about this. I mean..." Kurapika looked at his pals. "OK!!" Gon shouted and everyone's
eyes widened in surprise that the little boy suddenly shouted in the midst of silence. "Tomorrow,
we settle this ok Kurapika? Su?" Gon looked at both blonds. "Um.. hai." Su blushed and she nodded.
"O..okay." Kurapika nodded too and his slight blush was unnoticable. "Good. For now, lets bunk in
and sleep tight. GOODNIGHT!!!" Gon yelled. Killua hit him on the head. "BAKA!! Were going to sleep
at the hotel, not here! Sheesh Gon..sometimes you are so crazy." Killua sweatdropped.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Okay...So um... were here." Gon smiled. "We sure are." Killua giggled. He never saw Gon like this
before, he was nervous not because he's going to get killed or get in trouble, but he doesn't know
what he's going to say. "Alright Gon, what now?" Leorio asked. I say, we punish Kurapika for terrifying
Su-chan." He continued. All of them sweatdropped, including Su. "Kurapika-san..." Su whispered.
Kurapika looked at her and so did Gon and the others. "There's no time...onegai..kore." Su looked
at him and handed him a small gold container. "Take it...I don't care anymore if you don't trust
me..." She stood up and handed it to Kurapika. "What are you saying and why would i take that?"
Kurapika stubbornly answered. "Kurapika.." Gon had that worried look on his face and Killua knew
that he was going to butt in again so he stopped him. It was a serious matter and they can see it
on Su's face. But, no matter what they notice, Kurapika doesn't seem to care at all. He even refused
to look at the girl's determined face. "Take it!!" The girl yelled. Kurapika didn't nodged at all.
"Take it!!" She yelled again. This time, Leorio stood up and held the girls hand. Su looked at
him and there were tears forming in her eyes but she was fighting it. "Gomen...I'll leave now."
. She sadly said and went directly to the door. "MATTE!!" Kurapika shouted. "I don't think you
understood what i said to you inside that room. You are the captured here which means you are not
a guest. So..what are you trying to show by leaving here so easily?" Kurapika nodded. Su looked at
him then to the others. "I understand it perfectly.. However, I want to tell you that I didn't
steal that jewel nor got it from some market. It's mine. And about the Kuruta thing, it's true."
Su said as she bowed down over to Gon and the others. "I'm glad that i met you Gon-kun, Killua-kun
and Leorio-san. But I should leave now.. There's no space here for me...and time is running out."
Su leaves and Kurapika decides to follow her but Gon gets in the way. "Gon..." Kurapika whispered.
"Let her go Kurapika... She is not your enemy.. stop living in the past." Gon answered seriously.
"I'm sorry Gon...uh.." Kurapika smiles and then placed his hand inside his pocket. "What's this?"
He continued as he took something out of his jeans. "It's the girls necklace. That's odd, she
left it. I thought she would do anything to get that thing back..Now she forgets it..Weird."
Killua scratched his ear. "Maybe she decided that you really should have it."he continued. But really now Kurapika,
you wasted such a fine woman! I never even got to take her out alone!" Leorio sighed and stood up. "I'm
going to take a bath. All these stress thing is killing me." he continued and everybody sweatdropped.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Well, well, you're back Su. Have you got the box yet?" A man seating on a large chair chuckled.
A woman dressed in fine silk robe was massaging him. "Not yet.." Su answered. "WHAT?!!!! I gave
you a damn whole day and with nothing?!!" The man shouted and stood up knocking a few glasses on
his table and shattering it at the floor. Su backed out, frightened. "I told you...It's hard to
find...but I will get it.." She nervously said as tears formed in her eyes. "Su..." The man whispered
and approached her. "You know how important this is to me. You wouldn't let me suffer like this
right dear Su?" He carressed her hair and pulled out a hamdkerchief and pretended to cry. "..."
Su bowed down and did not look at the man's face."She seemed to be hiding something. Don't you
think..." The woman whispered at the man she is massaging. "Macy, Su is a special girl...So special
I have to keep her Forever." The man grinned.

"Oh well, that's over, I'm going out for awhile and get us some chow. We forgot to eat because of
all the fuss that happened." Kurapika yawned as he went directly to the door. "I don't even care
if i don't eat.I miss Su." Gon sniffed. "You're not crying are you?" Kurapika asked. "NO.." Gon
sniffed again. "sigh...You're such a softie Gon...and i think that's what people like about you."
Killua sighed. "..." Gon bowed down. "Stop teasing me Killua!!!" He continued as he blushed. "Hee hee
you should have seen your face, red all over..hehe..." Killua laughed hard. Gon and Killua ran all
over the room to bonk each other's head, probably. Leorio sang so loud inside the bathroom.
Kurapika sweatdropped as he took a last glance at the two buddies and Leorio's singing voice.
"you always tease me Killua, that's not fair!!" Gon yelled as he tried to catch up with Killua.
"Aw c'mon Gon. It's true admit it!" Killua laughed hard again the tumbled onto something. "Ow!
darn it all, and i call myself a professional killer. I cannot even avoid this darn...hey, what's
this?" Killua sat down on the floor. "AHA!!!! GOT YOU!!!" Gon fumbled over Killua and tried to
bonk his head on the rag. "MATTE!!!" Killua shouted. Gon stopped and looked at his friend. "Nani?"
he asked. "Mitte." Killua shoved a tiny box onto Gon's face. "What's this?" Killua asked. "I don't..
hey, wait a minute, this belongs to Su right? This is the one she persistently wanted to give
to Kurapika right?" Gon asked as Killua looked at him and frowned. "Well don't ask me, i don't know a thing
about that." He continued. "But why? why would she leave this?" Gon asked as he held the tiny box
in his hand. "Well..she did want to give it to Kurapika..so maybe she just left it for him." Killua
suggested. As Gon continued observing the box, a note suddenly slipped out. He bent down and read
the letterhead. "To Gon..Please give to Kurapika no matter what." Gon read and his eyes widened.
Why would su write a note like that? What was she hiding and more importantly, what was inside that
box? Gon wanted to know, but he just can't open it, it's not his. But Killua, being naughty as he is,
decided to be a bad influence to Gon. "Open it. She gave it to Kurapika, what Kurapika owns is
also ours." Killua convinced. "well...i guess it won't hurt though.." Gon looked at him and returned
his sight in the box. "Here goes nothing." He breathed hard. "What have you got there?" Leorio
suddenly asked from behind and the box clunked hard on the ground.
