Disclaimer: I don't own HunterxHunter (2011)
All contestants for the Hunters Exam turned yet again towards the elevator as they heard it 'ping' and watched as the door slowly opened to reveal a small girl with light, wavy, brown hair that went down to her midback, innocent silver eyes, and pale skin. She looked like one of the most innocent girls anyone had ever seen. Her attire didn't help out with the situation either, she wore a pink shirt dress with black leggings and black combat boots. She wore a brown backpack and had two slightly noticeable hoisters hooked around her waist.
Some of the men snickered at the seemingly weak girl but almost choked on their own spit when a growl was heard behind the small girl and everyone looked past the girl at the giant moving lump that was getting up behind her. The lump introduced itself as the girl came out of the elevator and showed that it was actually a giant gray wolf.
The girl had a smile on her face and kept her hands behind her back as a little green man came up to her. "Hello, ma'am, my name is Bean. Here's your tag. Be sure not to lose it, no matter what." He told her, holding the tag out to her.
She smiled brightly, her big silver eyes shining, as she gladly took it out his hand. "Thank you~! My name is Lotus! Nice to meet ya!" she said happily. Bean nodded and soon walked off to go give other examinees there tags. Lotus looked down at her tag, '311, huh?' she thought.
"Let's take a nap, Havoc, I'm sure that you're just as tired as me." She told the wolf, Havoc. He whined loudly in response and walked behind her as she walked over to a lone wall, her wavy hair seeming to wave in the air. Havoc slowly laid down against the wall and Lotus laid herself onto his side, using him as a pillow.
This got many weird stares from many of the examinees as they watched the small girl fall asleep on the giant dog that could tear her to shreds if it wanted too at any given moment. Lotus stayed asleep for the next two hours until Havoc started to growl in warning, waking her up in the process.
She sat up rubbing her eyes and yawing loudly. She stood up and looked to see a chubby man with a can of juice in his hands and the number 16 on his tag. "Hello! I'm Tonpa! You must be a rookie. If you have any questions, just come and ask me. I've taken this exam over 30 times." He explained to the brown- haired girl. Lotus only nodded in response, half awake, as she listened to the man. Tonpa smirked slightly, 'I should be able to trick her easily.' He thought.
"I brought juice for you, as a toast of our new friendship!" He exclaimed to the girl, shoving the juice into the her hands. Lotus eyed the can of juice and then looked at Tonpa quizzingly, making him sweat slightly. "What did you do to it?" She asked him lazily, as if she already knew the answer.
Tonpa flinched slightly, "W-what are you talking about?" he asked her nervously. "Your nervousness just proves my suspicions. I'll let you know this right now, Tonpa the Rookie Crusher, my hearing is pretty good. Even when I'm asleep. I heard you trying to talk to smartass over there." She said with a giggle, pointing over at Nicolas. Tonpa then smirked, "So you've figured me out, huh?" he said with a deep chuckle.
"I guess. You could try and trick that silver-haired boy." She told Tonpa pointing over at the boy with silver hair and sapphire eyes with the number 99. Tonpa gladly left with a frown on his face, 'Dammit! Hopefully none of the other rookies are like this.' He thought nervously. Lotus watched with interest as Tonpa walked up to the kid with a can of juice. 'Deny it.' She thought with a smirk. Her jaw dropped when the kid's eyes lit up and he gladly took the poisoned juice, drinking it down happily.
"Is he stupid?" Lotus asked to Havoc skeptically. Havoc just licked the side of her face, leaving the left side of her pale face slightly wet. "EUGH!" she screeched out wiping her face off with her free hand, the other still holding the can of juice. "Don't lick me!" she yelled at the wolf annoyingly.
She turned her head back at the blue-eyed boy who was drinking another poisoned drink happily. 'He should be shitting his pants right now.' She thought with a confused face.
"Hm. The laxative Box-Nose-san put in the drink should've had some kind of effect by now. I'm gonna go talk to the kid, Havoc, stay here." She commanded and quickly got up dusting off her clothes.
She walked up to the white-haired boy with squinted eyes, "How are you drinking that? You do know that it's poisoned right?" she asked him, tilting her head to the side. Her hair also seemed to adapt to the change and titled with her. The boy didn't answer from staring at her wavy hair that seemed to move on its own.
"Hello~! I'm talking to you Kitty-chan." She told him, snapping her fingers in his face. The boy frowned slightly in annoyance, "Yes. I'm well aware. But I'll be ok. I'm immune." He stated. Lotus's silver eyes shined with interest, "Really? That's so cool, Kitty-Chan!" she complimented.
'Kitty-Chan!?' Killua thought angrily.
"I like you already! I think I'll accompany you for a little bit, if that's okay with you." She said and let out a high pitched whistle. Killua stared at her with slight interest and flinched slightly when a horse-sized wolf showed up beside the light brown-haired girl. She turned back to Killua, "Kitty-Chan, this is my companion, Havoc." She introduced happily.
Havoc gave out a whisper bark of greeting before sitting down. Lotus was about to say something else before a scream was heard. She and Killua both looked at a man down on his knees, his arms turning into flowers. "That man just lost his arms!" Lotus pointed out, which earned an annoyed look from Killua and others.
"Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Lotus." Killua muttered quietly. "You're welcome." Lotus answered in a whisper. He flinched slightly and turned to the girl with a suspicious look, but didn't question her. "You should apologize when you bump into someone." The clown-jokerish looking man told the now no-armed man.
"Clown Rapist." Lotus said in a quiet tone. Killua turned to her slowly, "What?" he asked her in a forced tone. He wasn't too sure if he wanted to hear the girl's explanation behind the name that she'd just give the man.
"Clown Rapist. That's his name, for me." She said in an obvious tone. "Cuz' he looks like a clown rapist. Aren't all clowns rapists?" she asked Killua, who didn't answer and just ignored her.
Lotus sighed and watched as Tonpa talked to three other people. One was an old man, a woman with short blond hair, or was it a man? Along with a spiky-haired boy in all green that looked to be the same age as Killua. 'Seems like I'm the youngest.' She thought. She smirked mischievously as they all took the juices from Tonpa and took a sip.
Her smirk turned into a small 'o' shape as the small boy spit the juice and exclaimed that it was expired while the other two disposed of their drinks. 'The other rookies are pretty strange too.' Lotus thought with a small smile. She sighed as she turned to Havoc and gave him a soft rub on his wet nose.
A loud bell then rang out and everyone turned as one of the walls of the area started to rise up.
That's when a man with no mouth, but a mustache, showed up. "Hello, examinees, I am your first phase examiner, Satotz! Please, follow me. But please be warned, if you lack ability you could end up seriously hurt or dead." He explained to all the examinees. Everyone just kept staring at the man and he continued talking, "If you think that you can't handle this test, please exit via the elevator behind all of you." Of course, no one exited the area and kept their grounds.
Satotz stared at the silent crowd, "Very well, all 404 applicants are to participate in Phase One." He announced and turned on his heels, speed walking away. Lotus giggled slightly, "He walks funny. I like him too." She stated to no one in particular. Killua shook his head slightly at the childish girl. Everyone then started following after the man.
"Guess the exam has started." Lotus said to herself out loud. She watched as Killua jumped onto his skateboard and skated away, "Catch up if you can!" he yelled at her over his shoulder playfully. Lotus pouted slightly, "Alright, Havoc, it's time to get started!" she commanded. Havoc barked in agreement and crouched slightly for Lotus to climb onto his back.
She quickly climbed on and nodded, "Ok! Let's go!" she cheered and let out a loud 'wheee!' as Havoc sped up through the crowd, some moving out the way and some getting trampled, over to Killua. "We meet again, Kitty-Chan!" she laughed happily. "You only caught up because of Havoc!" he told her in a bored tone.
Lotus grew a tick mark, "Hey, I need Havoc for more reasons than you know!" she yelled out sadly. Killua turned to the girl with a raised eyebrow, "What do you mean by that?" he asked her, now curious by what she stated. She pouted and turned her head away with a 'hmph!'
'So childish!' Killua thought with annoyance.
That's when a yell of anger was heard behind them.
"Hey, brat! Get off your skateboard and show some respect for the Hunter Exam! That's cheating!" the man from earlier yelled at Killua. "And you should get off that dog, girl!" he yelled at Lotus. Lotus flinched slightly and looked over her shoulder to look at the man and was about to say something when Killua answered, "Why's it cheating?" he asked in a bored tone.
"Because this is an endurance test! Why else!?" the man told Killua. "It's not cheating! The examiner only told us to follow him." The spiky haired kid jumped in. "Gon! Whose side are you on!" the old man yelled.
Lotus looked over her shoulder at the spiky haired boy, 'Hm. I already like him too.' She thought. She then had Havoc slow down so that she was beside the kid, Killua did the same on his skateboard. "How old are you?" Killua asked him. The tan boy turned to him with a bright smile, "I'm twelve." he answered. Killua hummed in thought and quickly jumped up, flipping his skateboard in the air and catching it as he ran next to the boy. "I guess I'll run too." He stated.
The green-clothed boy made a sound of awe at the trick that Killua had displayed, "That was cool!" he exclaimed. Killua looked at the boy without turning his head, "I'm Killua." He greeted. "I'm Gon." The boy, now named Gon, stated. Gon turned to Lotus and gave her a bright smile, "What's your name?" he asked the her.
"I'm Lotus. This is my companion, Havoc. Nice to meet you, Gon-Chan." She told him politely. "How come you call him by his name and call me Kitty-Chan?" Killua asked in his annoyed tone. Lotus just turned her head away from him, "Gon-Chan, tell that white haired albino that I'm not talking to him until he apologizes for insulting me and Havoc." She said loudly, not looking at either of them.
Gon turned to Killua and opened his mouth to tell Killua what Lotus had said until he was interrupted, "I heard what she said!" Killua shouted, clearly pissed. "Then why don't you apologize?" Gon asked. Killua's eyebrow twitched slightly, he did not want to apologize for something so stupid. He sighed, "Lotus, I'm sorry for insulting you and Havoc." He said with gritted teeth.
Lotus sighed and turned to the both of them with a smile, "I forgive you! I was getting tired of being mad at you." She said playfully. Her smile faded when she heard loud breathing coming from the man that yelled at them earlier. She looked over her shoulder with furrowed eyebrows to see the old man drop his suitcase. He was incredibly sweaty and he was panting dramatically from exhaustion.
Gon stopped running to look back at the man too, "Leorio?" he asked the man. 'So that's his name? Sounds like 'The Oreo'. Lol.' Lotus thought and quickly shook her head, this really wasn't the time for jokes. Killua stopped and looked back too with bored eyes. "Hey, forget him. We need to get going." He told Gon and Lotus.
Lotus looked back at Killua, "Shut up." She commanded. Killua just 'tched' and looked back at Gon with a confused expression. Gon's eyes seemed to shine with hope as he stared at Leorio, who was still panting heavily. "Get up. Show those btiches whose boss." Lotus seemed to chant. Killua sweat dropped at the girl but didn't turn to look at her.
Leorio gave out a few more heavy breaths and stood up, "Screw that..." he then zoomed forward with a determined/angry face, "I'M GOING TO BECOME A HUNTER, DAMMIT!" he screamed as he sped past us, literally leaving a path of dust. Gon gave a small giggle and smiled brightly. Lotus looked back at Leorio's suitcase on the ground, "He left his suitcase…" she pointed out.
"Again, thank you for pointing out the obvious." Killua told her. "Again, your welcome." She grunted at him. Gon quickly used his fishing rod to grab Leorio's suitcase and caught it as he reeled it back. "Cool!" Lotus and Killua exclaimed in unison. They continued to run together, "Let me try that later." Killua exclaimed to Gon. "If you let me try your skateboard." Gon told him. Killua nodded.
Lotus pouted, "Kitty-Chan! Gon-Chan! I want to try out your stuff too!" she whined. Both boys looked at her. "What do you have?" Killua asked. Lotus stared at him with big eyes and reached her and pulled out a boomerang-shaped knife. "You can try out my boomerang knives." She insisted with hopeful eyes. Killua and Gon both looked at each other and nodded in agreement, "Sure." They both said.
Lotus looked forward and gave out a gasp, "Oh god, it's my worst nightmare." She said. Killua cocked an eyebrow, "And that would be?" he asked her. "Stairs." She stated pointing at the long, forever-going set of stairs ahead of them. "Ok, Havoc. You can change into your tiny form." She stated. Killua and Gon both gasped as the large dog suddenly shrunk to the size of a small gray puppy.
Lotus stopped for Havoc and crouched down as he climbed onto her head. His bottom paws resting on her shoulders and his front paws holding onto her hair. He gave a small bark and Lotus nodded, "Alright. Make sure that you hold on, if you need to, go inside of my backpack." She told him.
"What is that wolf?!" Killua asked as they continued to run forward. Lotus thought for a moment, "I'm not too sure. I just found him one day in a forest near my home." She told them in a calm tone. "Gon, Lotus, wanna race to see who finishes first?" he asked them both.
"Sure! The loser has to buy dinner!" Gon exclaimed. "Ok. I'll join in." She mumbled. They all prepared to race and quickly boosted forward.
The trio ran past two men who'd collapsed from exhaustion. Lotus looked back at them and sighed, "Gosh. We sure have passed a lot of bodies." She stated nonchalantly. "I'm impressed that you two can keep up with me." Killua complimented. Lotus blushed, "Aw~. Thanks Kitty-Chan, that's probably the nicest thing you've said to me so far." Killua gave a small cough, "Or maybe it's just that everyone else is too slow." He mused.
Lotus flinched, "Why'd you take back the compliment, Kitty-Chan~?" she whined out sadly as she slumped slightly. Killua, again, ignored her, "Man, this exam is gonna be a breeze. This is no fun." He whined. Lotus started to pant quietly, 'Just last a little bit longer.' She thought to herself. She was not too fit for running, as you can tell.
Gon turned to Killua, "Why do you want to become a hunter?" he asked Killua. "Oh, I'm not really interested in becoming a hunter. I'd heard it was supposed to be really hard, so I'd thought it be really fun. But, so far, it's disappointing." He told them smugly. "I want to become a hunter because my dad's a hunter. So I want to become a hunter like my dad!" Gon stated happily.
"What kind of hunter is he?" Killua asked. "I don't know." Gon answered. Killua paused to look at Gon and gave a laugh, "That's kinda weird. You want to be like your dad, but you don't know anything about him?" Killua asked in an amused voice. Lotus gave out an airy giggle too and continued to listen.
"I was raised by my aunt, Mito-san, so I've only seen my dad in pictures. When my dad was twelve, he took the Hunter Exam and passed. Then he left the island, so I want to know why my dad chose to Hunter over being with me." Gon explained to us.
Lotus cleared her throat, "I want to be a hunter because I wanted to escape my family." She stated. Killua and Gon both looked at her, "What do you mean?" Gon asked curiously. "They did something to me. Something I can never forgive them for. I don't trust you guys enough to tell you just yet, but you'll probably see it before I tell you." She explained darkly. Havoc growled lowly at the darkness of her voice.
For a moment, Killua felt a dark aura but it quickly disappeared. Lotus's pupils seemed to constrict for a moment before becoming dilated again. She turned to them with a smile, "That's why I want to be a hunter." She smiled at them brightly.
"Hey, look! The exit!" Someone cheered up front. The trio all looked at each other with smiles and quickly ran forward. Satotz was about to turn on his heels to look at the examinees, but was caught by surprise when three people passed him. "GOAL!" the three of them yelled.
"I won!" Lotus shouted first, her hands on her hips.
"Yay! I win!" Gon shouted right after.
"What are you two talking about? I was faster." Killua grunted.
"I was!" Gon shouted. "No, I was!" Killua exclaimed. "No, bitches! I clearly won!" Lotus chanted, pumping her fist in the air. "I was faster, so you have to buy me dinner!" Gon exclaimed. "Nope!" Killua said. Lotus crossed her arms, "I won! You both have to buy me dinner!" she shouted.
Satotz stared at the three as they argued. "Ask Mustache-san! He most likely knows!" Lotus challenged. "Hey, who won the race?" Gon asked Satotz. "I believe you all crossed the finish line simultaneously." He answered in a knowing voice. "Oh… Then Killua, you buy me dinner. Lotus, I'll buy you dinner. Then, you buy Killua's dinner!" Gon said.
"I don't get it." Killua whined. "Oh, Kitty-Chan, what don't you get?" Lotus teased.
"Is this the end of the first phase?" Gon asked Satotz. He shook his head, "No, we still have quite a way to go." He told them.
Soon all the other examinees who hadn't given up were out of the tunnel, panting heavily for air. Lotus smiled when she saw Leorio collapsed on his knees panting. Then the blond boy or girl came out after him, panting. "Hey, Kurapika!" Gon greeted with a wave. "Hey Gon." He/she stated with a wave.
Lotus looked at him with confusion and stood up, "I don't want to come off as rude. Buuuuut… are you a boy or a girl?" she asked quietly. Kurapika flinched slightly, "I'm a boy." He told her. "Are you sure?" Lotus asked quickly after. Kurapika sweat dropped, "Yes, I'm sure." He grunted out. "Ok. I just wanted to make sure. Sorry to bother you… sir." She said and sat back down next to Killua.
Havoc quickly sat down in her lap and curled into a ball. Lotus smiled and pet him gently. "I promise that we'll pass this. I'll get us far away from our family." She whispered to him.
I know it's not much and that it's probably not that good. But I really did try my best on this first chapter. I'd like to see some comments on what you guys think and what you like about it. If you've got some advice for me, please tell me what I can do to make myself better at writing fanfictions. Bye bye!
