Chapter 17 - Rescue Killua

I turn to walk away, then Illumi spoke up again.

[You know that the 3 people that you and Killua see as friends?]: illumi

When Illumi brought up Gon, Leorio and Kurapika. Soren's face had a slight change to it, but wasn't noticed by anyone.

[Friends?... You mean the people I used to make my trip more fun?... They mean nothing to me. If you kill them I think Killua might hate you, though I don't care]: soren

[Ren!... Do you mean that?]: leorio

[Ren! Even if I haven't known you for long, but I can see that what you say isn't true!... You don't mean it]: kurapika

[Shut up! You trash only made it here because of Killua and I]: soren

[No! You don't mean it! Tell us this is a lie]: leorio

[Piss off!... I got what I came here for. Let's go home Illumi, don't worry about those Trash]: soren

"....."

[Well Ren, we need to stay and get our introduction]: illumi

[What do you mean?]: soren

[Well we are Hunters now, so we need to have an introduction about the organisation and how to accept missions]: illumi

[Then let's do that and go home]: soren

[Sure! I'm glad you want to go home now]: illumi

We all walked into the big room and sat down in a chair. As we listen to a run down of rules and regulations the door burst open, and Gon had walked into the room with his broken arm from his fight with the Ninja guy.

[Oh, welcome Gon. Take a seat in an open spot]: netero

Gon had ignored Netero and continued up to Illumi and I who were sitting next to each other.

[You!... you need to apologise to Killua!]: gon

[And why should I do that?]: illumi

[You don't know what you did wrong?]: gon

[No, so why should I apologise to him?]: illumi

[You don't have any right to be his brother]: gon

[Do I half to earn the right to be his brother?]: illumi

Gon had snapped and grabbed Illumi but the wrist and began to lift him into the air.

[You trash! Let him go before he kills you]: soren

Gon still holding Illumi by the wrist began to turn and look at Soren.

[Ren? Why are you sticking up for him? Aren't you made that he made Killua fail the exam?]: gon

Before Soren could speak up, Leorio and Kurapika spoke.

[You!... we will let you be rude and threaten us but… But you can't do and say that to Gon!]: leorio

[Guys, why are you yelling at Ren?]: gon

[Because, he said that we were just there to make the exam fun for him. He said that we meant nothing to him]: kurapika

[That makes no sense, He-]: gon

Soren rushed to him making Leorio and Kurapika stand ready to rush and stop him from touching Gon. All the examiners just sat back and watched the whole thing.

[Just keep your mouth shut, you really mean nothing to me]: soren

'I had to stop him from showing proof that we were friends, or Illumi really will kill them'

Gon still holding Illumi by the wrist looked back at him and continued.

[I am Killua's friend, and will go and save him]: gon

After he said that Illumi spoke.

[Killua has no friends, he is just a machine meant to kill. Same with Ren over here]: illumi

Gon Looked back at me and then to Illumi with hatred in his eyes. Then he put strength in his hand squeezing Illumis wrist and broke it.

Illumi looked at Gon with surprise, and then said.

[What will you do if you go and save Killua?]: illumi

[I will never let you see him again]: gon

[What makes you so sure he wants you to save him?]: illumi

[Because… He told me how he hates his family, and the only one who was by his side was Ren]: gon

[Oh? Then by all means, come and save Killua if you can. And when he tells you that he doesn't want to go with you, then you can go home. Anyway, Let's go home Ren, we are done here]: illumi

[Illumi, can I go home by myself?]: soren

[...Hmm, sure! But don't take too long, you are still in trouble]: illumi

Illumi then left the room and the Hunter Examiners ended the introduction. When everyone started to leave I caught up with Gon, Kurapika and Leorio. When Leorio seen me he started to yell at me.

[Why are you here!? Get out of here, your not our friend right?]: leorio

[Well, first… shut up Leorio. Second, if I had not said and did what I did, you all would be dead]: soren

[What do you mean?]: kurapika

[Illumi had threatened me if I had not come back that he would kill the people I considered friends. But if I owned up to being your friend and then followed him back, he still would have killed you to make a statement. So the best thing to do was to disown you all, Gon understood]: soren

[Ah! Did you really Gon?]: leorio

[Well… not entirely, but who does Ren let use his nickname like we do? If we truly weren't his friends he would have told us to call him Soren]: gon

[Oh… I see now. Thank you for explaining all of this to us Ren]: kurapika

[No problem, you all are mine and Killua's only friends. When Illumi said that Killua and I were just Machines meant for killing he wasn't lying. Growing up all we did was train and kill, by the time I was 7 I had killed 40 people. And Killua is not far behind me]: soren

[Y-you killed all those people by the time you were 7?]: leorio

[Yes… I was 2 when I killed my first target, ever since then I have been use to blood and killing. But, I want Killua to change that he has killed a lot as well but I can see that he still has a chance to change his future. But first we will need to go save him. When you feel your ready, come to our house on Kukuroo Mountain]: soren

[Kukuroo Mountain? Isn't that where the Zoldyck's live?]: leorio

[Yes! My name is Soren Zoldyck. Nice to meet you]: soren

[You were that famous!?]: leorio
