Gon was running around and never get to see Suna anywhere until he came across Kurapika and Leorio. Leorio began speaking.
"Pathetic....I needed the two of you to do everything for me during the Fourth Phase. I promise I'll return the favor. So...Thanks.."
He said and turned away earning a giggle from Gon and Kurapika.
"I have an announcement for all applicants" Bean said over the speaker. "The chairman wishes to interview the remaining candidates."
"Interview?" Leorio asked and faced the two.
"....When your number is called, please come to the first reception room, on the second floor. And also, applicant #406 Suna-sama, has withdrawn from the exam. Then we will start with #44 Hisoka-sama. In addition #99 Killua-sama, a letter has been addressed to you, please collect it from me"
Gon, Kurapika and Leorio's face dropped, hearing the news Bean just said.
"This is a joke right? Why would she leave? Did something happen during the exam?" Leorio asked with sadness from his tone. Of course he'd miss the girl, she was so bubbly and carefree and it was a nice atmosphere to be around her.
"I don't know...." Kurapika answered, feeling the same.
Gon clenches his fist "Suna... Leorio, Kurapika, let's find her after the hunter exam. I'm sure you two also wanted to see her again." Gon said and the two nodded.
Killua was in a state of shock, but only for a couple of seconds. His hands formed a first and hit the wall he was close to and a big hole was bore. He walked to where Bean was as he asked himself questions.
'Why did she leave? Did I say something wrong? Am I the reason you left? Suna? You didn't even bid us farewell.....'
After he got the letter he walked outside and quickly opened it up.
'Dearest Killua,
Honey, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. And don't find me. Please..but if ever you're so stubborn and won't listen to me, please save me.
Yours Truly,
Akisuna Lilblack'
After reading the letter Killua crumpled the paper with his eyes not showing a tiny bit of emotion. And then, he went back in as his name was called by the chairman.
"....Well then, you're excused" The chairman finished gathering information from Killua. But Killua stopped in his tracks before turning to Netero.
".....Did—"
"Home. Suna-chan is going home" Netero said with a teasing smile on his face. "I see my granddaughter's made a friend....you see Killua-kun, my granddaughter has always been special. She was talented and was stronger than most average kids when she was young. Suna had a hard time making friends, especially those who are just average persons. That's why I am happy she made one, but, what I don't understand is why she left so suddenly. Perhaps you know something about this Killua-kun?"
Netero asked Killua and he just shook his head before walking out the room. "No. I don't know anything. I don't...." He said to himself and he hid in darkness.
A bit later, news came to the chairman's ear that her adopted daughter Akumi has some bad news. "Father...."
"Yes Umi-chan? What happened?"
"Chrollo.....Chrollo... He's after Suna. Father you know I'm dying, it's my curse to die slowly when I made a deal with someone who has higher nen ability than I have. And that someone is Chrollo. If I die, he'd have Suna. I know it's not up to us, to decide what would be best for Suna. But please, talk to her. Make her stay...."
Then the call ended.
