Chapter 1: Found

Ugggggggg…. This ground is freezing! And to add to that, it's snowing!

I was trying to get some sleep, but try as I may, I just couldn't. I mean seriously! I was freezing my but off out here, in these woods, in the darkness of winter! So instead of the ground, I decided to go sleep in the trees. Lemme tell you, not much better….. That was when I heard the footsteps, coming my way.

Uh oh! This is bad!

I haven't been seen by a human in let's see, about 4 or 5 years now, ever since the annihilation of my tribe. So I curled up tighter and tried my best to conceal my presence. Then there they were.

Four guys, one with brown spiky hair and brown eyes, one with silver hair and light blue eyes, a tall man with black combed hair and black eyes, and then… The last one was the one that surprised me the most; he had blonde hair the hung into his eyes, which were a light blue, just like mine! Then suddenly, the blonde and the silver haired guy looked up and stared at where my hiding spot was.

I hope they can't see me, I mean, they shouldn't be able to…. Right?

My torn robe is brown, so it blends in with the tree…….

I hope they don't see me…

"Hey you! I know you are there! Come on down!" The silver haired guy said. I refused to come down, and stayed right where I was. "Oi! I know you can hear me, so you might as well come down willingly, before we bring you down by force!"

At that I started to jump, from tree to tree, but me being as clumsy as I was, fell. I braced myself for the impact, but none came. Well, no impact with the ground, more like with a pair of arms. I opened my eyes, and looked at who my savior was, it was that blonde boy. I hissed at him and jumped and started to run.

"Hey! Come back here!" The tall man said.

"Yeah, we just want to talk!" yelled the spiky brown haired boy.

Then, before I knew it, a chain wrapped around my ankle, and again, I fell to the earth. I heard their footsteps running towards me. I looked at my chain wrapped ankle and traced the chain back to it's owner. I groaned and looked at the ground again, it was that blonde guy…

Why does this always have to happen to me??

First, my tribe gets annihilated, and now I am gonna get killed….

Uggggggggggg……..

This is starting to be annoying…..

I looked back up at them and sighed. There was only one way to do this. They all had such determined looks on their faces. Then I cleared my throat….

"Alright, I am not going to run away, so can you please take this COLD chain off of my ankle!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

Apparently my sudden raise of voice startled them, because they all jumped. Then after they calmed down, they looked at one another and the three of them nodded at the blonde guy. The chain fell off of my ankle, and the guy reached out a hand to help, but, I was stubborn.

"I can get up by myself, thank you very much!"

And so I got up and dusted myself off, well, dusted the snow off, while they guys all watched me with very keen eyes. After I was done, I looked up at them all, and straightened up. I was about one inch shorter than the blonde guy, whose looks were like mine. I started to study him closer.

Hmmnnnnn……

He has the same color hair and eyes as me…..

Wait……

Could he be…!!

No, probably not……..

But still, those eyes…….

So much like mine!

"….your name?" The voice snapped me back to where I was. In the woods, in the winter, with 4 guys all around me, all of them expecting an answer to a question I didn't hear.

"What?" I asked, trying to see what the question was.

"What is your name?" the brown haired boy asked. This caught me off guard.

What is my name?

I don't remember my name…

It's been so long since I have had to have a name…

"Well?" the silver boy asked.

"I… uhh…… Idontknow." I rushed.

"Could you repeat that? Didn't quite catch it." The black haired man said.

"Stupid, can't you see that she said 'I don't know'? Sheesh, you really are starting to sound as you look." The silver boy shot at the man.

"WHAT!?!?!?!?!!?!?!? You mean, you don't know what your name is?" The brown haired boy asked.

"No. I do not, not since my tribe was annihilated." I truthfully answered.

At that last statement, the blonde boy's head snapped up.

"And how long ago exactly, was that?"

"About 4 or 5 years ago. I think 5."

"Ahhhh….. Okay…."

"Well! My name is Gon," the brown haired boy said, "that tall man over there is Leiorio, the silver haired boy is Killua, and the last person is Kurapika. Killua and I are 12, Leiorio is 19, and Kurapika is 17. How old are you?"

"Uhhhhhhh…… I believe I am 16." I answered after I thought a while.

Hey, maybe we could all give you a name????" Gon suggested.

"Really? You want to? Sure, go ahead!" I said joyfully.

At that they started to come up with names.
