I died.

'What a shitty death' I thought to myself.

I got hit by a truck as I walked home from a convention holding my hunter x hunter merchandise.

I fell down the road hard and felt my consciousness fade away. I moved my gaze to see my boyfriend whom I might never see again rushed to me as he screamed and begged for me to stay awake. He still talked but I couldn't hear him anymore as everything went black.

I died and I don't know what's going to happen next.

Accepting my fate I made one last selfish and impossible wish to myself; ' I just wish the afterlife is a fun anime show..that would be awesome!'

"Do you wish to be reborn, human?"

My eyes snapped open to see a giant glowing snake in front of me. I couldn't comprehend what was going on. It seemed like I'm being asked to make a wish. Be reborn? Reborn as what? Reborn as a human or an animal? I don't understand? Wait, is this what the afterlife is like? The snake chuckled and hissed.

"By luck you have died the moment I created a being. This being is a very powerful being but it does not have a world to watch over nor does it have the ability to protect a world and oversee it. I chose you to be the master of this being for the time being until it has developed into a creature worthy of overseeing a world.

'THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT, I'VE WATCHED MEKAKUCITY ACTORS AND THEY ALL ENDED UP HAVING TO GO TO THE DAZE! '

"We are celestial beings with no physical shape or form, what you see in front of you now is an illusion I have made. By no means are you special but at the time your soul separated from your body, I found you. I am by no means a god if you were wondering that."

"..Can't you just revive me in my old body?" The snake shakes its head.

"Your soul will be rejected in your body now. You have no more place in that world for you to go back unless you take someone else's life away"

'So that's why people get possessed'

"Then what am I supposed to do now? Where am I to go?"

"I have found a most suited world for you to go to. Both of you will be able to harness each other's abilities. This being works by granting wishes, which means it'll only grant wishes to the creatures that earn its trust. You are its master so it will always obey your orders. You can even abuse its powers if you wish. The wishes you make will not have any price for you and it are sharing the same body, you're just in control. "

"A world where we will get to use powers. Alright, it's not like I have a choice or anything anyway. I'll accept this task and will take care of the being you have created. I will make sure it will grow to be a worthy celestial being just like you…Um..what's your name?"

"We celestial beings have no name. We are only creatures who oversee and watch worlds. "

I frowned at that. That's sad, not even having a name….I'll make sure the being who's going to share a body with me will have a name then!

"I'll call you Mimi then! Since you're like a mother…I'm sorry I suck at making names..is that alright?" The snake looked surprised and chuckles a bit.

"Whatever you wish, human." I nodded at it and smiled.

"Then that's settled. My name is Ella but by the next time we meet I'll have to change it for the sake of adjusting to that world. Thank you for giving me another chance to live" The snake nodded and I suddenly started to glow. I can see a huge snake go inside of my chest but it didn't hurt at all. I guess that's the celestial being's creation.

"Farewell. "

I was suddenly engulfed in light and was enveloped by darkness yet again.

I woke up in a familiar looking boat and heard a familiar voice scream something that I couldn't understand. I looked up to see Gon who talked to the captain, which I'm guessing is about the storm coming. Ah. I'm in hunter x hunter. I can't act surprised now since I just met a celestial being. I sure do wish I could understand what they were saying.

Wait a minute..

'Hey…uh..celestial being..are you there?'

"Yes. I am here." It sounded like those tampered voice that has 3 different tones of voice to it and was monotonous.

'oh shit.. um…So..first of all what's your name?'

"Name? I have no name. You're my master so you should be able to name me if you wish."

'Well then. I'll call you Aiz"

"Aiz it is. What do you need my assistance for?"

'I'd like to be able to understand the language and to be able to write….…ah! And have a really long stamina that allows me to run far for a very long time.'

"As you wish, my master"

'thank you very much.'

For a while nothing really happened. I decided to go inside the deck and sat down on the very end. I can hear people say that I wasn't taking the hunter exam to seriously or that a little girl shouldn't be here. I expected it anyway knowing that only Leorio, Kurapika and Gon end up passing. I hope I do to…. I want to be able to experience and be part of their adventures.

Wait. Hold up.

Did they say little girl?!

I rushed to the lavatory and stared at the window.

I turned into a 12 year old girl. I looked when I was a kid. I had long black hair that had shorter hair up front and long hair on the back which reached down to my waist and black eyes. I wore a white dress with a bit of frills and a yellow ribbon tied under my chest area. I wore white sandals that paired with it. It was a cute dress…and to be honest I'd say I looked cute. I took a while in the restroom when suddenly a man pounded the door and told me he needed it. He sounded sick so I got out. I rushed to where the other applicants were and saw Gon who tended to them and Katsuo. On the side Kurapika read a book and Leorio ate an apple. I went near Gon and asked him if he needed any help. He smiled at me and bam, my heart skipped a beat.

'How can he smile so innocently?!'

"Thank you for the help! Can you please get some water for the rest of the people?" I nodded and rushed to the kitchen and took 3 glasses of water. Thank god I was once a waitress in my old life; though with my smaller hands I couldn't get as much as I wanted. I gave it to the people who asked for some water when suddenly the captain told us to go to follow him. I watched as Gon, Leorio and Kurapika went and followed behind them. We stood in front of the captain and I anxiously waited for the captain to ask questions.

"First tell me your names?" The captain asked as he looked at us seriously. Beside the captain was Katsuo who held a binder. Ah, we're starting the test now.

"I'm Gon!" He said as he raised his hand up. Gosh, this kid looks like a bundle of sunshine.

"I'm Kurapika" He said monotonously

"It's Leorio" and he said with a scowl. It feels so different when you're beside them. The captain looked at me and I smiled.

"I'm Hana!" That name is perfect cause I won't be able to forget it!

"Why do you want to become Hunters?" the captain asked.' It'll be hard to answer this since I can't just say I woke up on your boat and have to help a celestial being develop! Argh..what to say what to say '

I was too deep in thought that I missed the part when Gon said he want to be a hunter in order to find his dad and Leorio confronts Gon. Kurapika agrees and told them that he'd expose his deepest secrets if he tells them. The Captain then told Katsuo that there would be two additional dropouts and explained that this is part of the hunter exam and to think of an answer carefully.

"So he says" I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Gon say that. I made up a good excuse now so I'm ready.

"Should have told us sooner" murmured Leorio.

I glanced at Kurapika who hesitated a bit but then spoke. "I am the last survivor of the Kurta Clan. Four years ago, my clan was annihilated by a band of criminals. I wish to become a hunter and hunt down that band, the Phantom Troupe. " I looked at him sadly 'He's going to sacrifice his own life for hunting that group down just to make a chain'

"So you want to become a bounty hunter. The Phantom Troupe is a Class-A bounty. Not even the most grizzled Hunters can touch them. You'd be throwing your away your life."

Kurapika closed his eyes "I do not fear death. I fear only that my rage will fade over time." His eyes turned red for a second and I looked at Leorio who suddenly spoke afterwards.

"So, in other words, you want revenge. Does that require that you become a Hunter? "

"That may be the stupidest question I've ever heard, Leorio." Kurapika said as a matter of factly.

"That's Leorio-san to you!" Leorio shouted at Kurapika.

"Places accessible only to Hunters…Information otherwise unobtainable…Actions otherwise impossible…There are more reasons than your brain could possibly handle" Gon suddenly cuts off Leorio before he could say another word. I sweat a bit 'They're still gonna fight after this'

"Hey! Why do you want to become a hunter, Leorio-san?" Leorio smiles and straightens himself up.

"Me? I'll make it short. I want money. Money can get you everything!" He makes the money sign with his hand and grinned brightly. "A big house! A nice car! Good liquor! "

"You can't buy class with money, Leorio" Leorio's mood suddenly dropped once Kurapika said his name without a –san. Leorio turned around and glared at Kurapika.

"That's three times now. Step outside. I'll end the filthy Kurta bloodline, here and now." 'Oh shit'

"Take that back, Leorio!" They both glare at each other more if it's even possible

"Take it back."

"That's Leorio-san to you."

Kurapika clicked his tongue and rushed outside

"U-Um guys-" I was cut off by the captain who called the two and told them they're not finished yet.

"Just let them go. Mito-san once told me…If you want to get to know someone you need to make an effort to learn why they're angry. It's important for them to understand why they're mad. So we should let them settle this themselves. By the way, why do you want to become a hunter Hana?" I looked at Gon and was a bit surprised he even remembered me. The captain also looked at me and waited for an answer.

"I want to become a hunter to return a favor to someone who gave me a second chance in life!" I smiled softly and the captain looked at me curiously and was about to talk again when suddenly a crew member called out for the captain and pointed at the watersprout. The captain then commands Katsuo to lower the sails which Gon volunteered to help. I also volunteered to help and Katsuo and Gon nodded at me and Katsuo said to follow him. Everyone tried to lower the sails as we pulled the ropes backwards. I looked at the side and saw Kurapika and Leorio arguing. I continued pulling on the ropes and saw Katsuo getting caught by the blind. I held the rope and continued to pull.

"Katsuo-san!" Gon and I simultaneously called out. Kurapika and Leorio tried to get Katsuo but failed but then Gon leaped out and caught Katsuo. Luckily Kurapika and Leorio caught Gon. I continued pulling the rope and successfully lowered it thanks to the help of the rest of the crew. The rest ran and helped them get back to the boat.

After the storm, Leorio and Kurapika scolded Gon. I ran towards Gon and hugged him as I cried in relief.

"Goooon, I'm so glad you're safe!" Gon laughed and hugged me back and smiled at Kurapika and Leorio.

"But you both caught me!"

Leorio and Kurapika were stunned and I pulled away, sniffling "I-I knew..y-you guys..w-would make it!"

"Gon! " Katsuo called out to us as he run. Gon and I stood up and I smiled at Katsuo in relief.

"Thank goodness you're okay Katsuo-san!" I said happily. He nodded "It's all thank to Gon! He saved my life."

"I couldn't have done it alone. These two helped save you" Kurapika and Leorio looked surprised and Katsuo thanked them.

"No, you don't need to thank me." Said Kurapika.

"Well..yeah, I'm glad you're okay." Said Leorio with a small blush and a wide grin.

Kurapika smiled and apologized for his rude behavior to Leorio. Leorio became flustered and insisted on just being called Leorio. Leorio also apologized and told Kurapika he takes back what he said. Gon smiled and I clapped.

"Now that Kurapika and Leorio are friends, we can finally be considered as friends and pass the hunter exams together!" They both looked at me with amused eyes and Gon nodded. "Yeah! Let's all pass the hunter exams as friends!" Gon and I did a high five which earned a sigh from Leorio and a smile from Kurapika.

The captain goes in and laughed before he told us that he'll personally bring us to the port closest to the exam site.

"Really? But what about our test?" Gon asked. The captain climbed the ladder halfway before he turned around to us.

"Didn't I tell you four? It's my decision to make." He grinned at us "And all four of you pass!"

We all smiled and Gon and I jumped for joy "Alright/Yay!" we said at the same time.

We arrived at Dolle Harbor. Kurapika and Leorio looked around and I stayed behind with Gon to talk to the captain. Gon shook the captains hand and told the captain that he had fun. I went near the captain and bowed down thanking him for bringing us to the port safely. The captain grinned and patted my head and told me not to be so formal.

"Right! As a token of my appreciation, I'll give you some advice."

"Advice? " Gon blinked and looked at the captain curiously. I put my hands on my back and listened to them. The captain points at the big cedar tree on the hill. I looked at it and smiled. 'That's where those shapeshifters live!'

"Look. See that big cedar tree on the hilltop? You should make your way there first. It's a shortcut for the first exam?" Gon and I beamed at that.

"Shortcut!? So, we just need to head for that tree! We'll do that, Captain! Thanks!" The captain winks at us and wished us best of luck.

"Yep! Same to you Take care! Come on Hana,Let's go! " Gon runs off and I follow not before I waved at the captain goodbye.

As we ran to find Kurapika and Leorio, Gon and I talked a bit.

"Hey, Hana, how old are you?" Gon asked curiously.

"12 , what about you Gon?" Gon jumped and grinned

"I'm 12 too! Where are you from Hana?"

"I'm from a land far far away" Gon blinked

"I see, Ah! Look they're in front of the directory!" I saw them and we rushed to their side. We all looked at the big map and Gon told Kurapika and Leorio about the cedar tree. Leorio found it strange because the notice he got was that the exam is supposed to be held somewhere in Zaban City and that the tree is on the opposite direction. Kurapika asked if we misheard it and Go confirmed to head toward the cedar tree.

"Leorio, Kurapika. I think the captain is right. I don't think the hunter exam is so easy that we'd just take the bus…if it was that easy everyone should be a hunter by now. It also doesn't specifically say where in Zaban City we're meant to go…so there might be people from the hunter association who are there near the cedar tree that will take us to the hunter examination site. " I said to them. Kurapika nodded

"It makes sense if you put it that way. Our task is to find the exam site using a limited amount of information. This might be one part of the test " He stated.

"It's settled then! We're going to the cedar tree!" Gon said as he walked to the opposite direction from the bus. I followed him and Kurapika did to. Leorio shouted that the bus going to Zaban is about to leave and walked to the opposite direction. Leorio ran towards us and spouted that he knew we'd be lonely without him and that it's no fun to travel alone so he decided to stick with us a little bit longer. I smiled at Leorio.

"We're glad to have you back Leorio! Why didn't you take the bus?" I asked curiously as we walked up the hill. The two in front looked at Leorio and Leorio gulped

"….T-Turns out it was a t-trap….. " I giggled and Gon smiled before grinned before he said:

"I told you that we had to go to the cedar tree!" Leorio blushed and turned away. I just smiled at them. It was nice to know that a lot of things happened behind the scenes from what the anime just showed.

We reached the town where the old lady with the questions is located. We watched as a bunch of masked people appeared and bought a stage with them. The old lady said twice 'exciting..' then cheered 'The exciting two choice quiz!'. While the three looked flabbergasted, I clapped my hands

"It is exciting!" Gon laughed nervously and the other two just stared at me.

She coughed and told us about that she'll administer a single question quiz to let us pass. Leorio questioned what was going on and the lady stated that we'll be given five seconds to state our answers. She continued to explain that if we give the wrong answer we'll be disqualified and we'll have to give up on this year's hunter exam.

"I see, then this is part of the hunter exam" Said Kurapika.

"If that's the case, I happen to be a quiz expert! Wait. Only one question?" questioned Leorio.

"Your answer will be either the number 1 or 2. Any other answer will be considered incorrect."

"Wait a minute. All four of us share one question? So if one of them answers incorrectly, I'm disqualified, too?" Leorio asked with a concerned face.

"As if that would happen. What scares me is the high likelihood of the vice versa happening." Countered Kurapika as he crossed his arms.

"But you know…This way's easier, since only one of us needs to know the answer. I'm not good at quizzes. " Gon said happily. I nodded and wrapped my arms around arm and smiled.

"Gon's right! Gon and I are bad at quizzes so we'll leave it to you both!" I winked and Kurapika and Leorio agreed that we both had a point. 'Gon and I will just have to keep silent..Kurapika knows about this but Leorio will go berserk. We'll still pass anyway'

"Hey,there. Hurry it up or else I'll answer the question first" I looked at the guy who followed us here and blinked. "Ah, it's you!" I said out loud.

"Who is he?" Leorio asked me and Gon answered.

"He followed us here, all the way from port. "

"Huh? Seriously?"

"Sorry, kids. I happened to overhear your conversation. "

The lady asked us what do we want to do and we let the guy go first since he seemed eager and we could get a chance to know the questions.

"Now for the question" a squeak could be heard and a caw of the crow too. "Evil villains have captured your mother and lover. You can only save one. Select 1 for your mother, or 2 for your lover. Which will you save?"

The three jumped a bit and Leorio questioned how is this even a quiz. I just stood and watched the scene. 'He'll answer 1 because he can't replace his mother but you can find another lover. What a stupid answer…and horrible at that'

The crow caws and the lady let him pass. The guy whispered that they just have to tell the old lady what she wants to hear before he walked away. Leorio got mad and said it was bull and how that was the right answer.

"It wasn't the correct answer Leorio." I said which earned a surprised look from Kurapika and Gon.

"Hah?! Then why did he pass!?" I smiled at Leorio and tilted my head

"He didn't. I got the gist of this quiz. So I'll give a signal after she asks the question." I winked which made Leorio angrier

"If we get the wrong answer we all fail!Plus this is a sham! I'll find another route to go there" Leorio said as was about to walk away before the lady stopped him

"Wait right there! It's too late! Walk away and you'll be disqualified!" Leorio looked surprised and I smiled at Leorio.

"Trust me. We won't fail" I turned around and looked at the lady "Ask us the question." The lady looked at me surprised then proceeded to ask the question.

"Here is your question. " The squeak and the caw "Your son and daughter have been kidnapped. You can only rescue one. Select 1 for your son, or 2 for your daughter. Which will you rescue" Kurapika and Gon looked at me and I put my finger on my lips. Kurapika's eyes widened and he kept silent. I looked at Leorio who was about to burst but he didn't since got the message. I looked at Gon who looked like he was thinking.

"Five"

"four"

"three"

"two"

"one"

"Buzz! Time's up!"

Kurapika and I sighed in relief and I turned to Leorio who jumped to attack the old lady. Kurapika saw this and blocked the attack, which made the stick Leorio used break.

"MOVE KURAPIKA! I WON'T BE SATISFIED UNTIL I'VE TAUGHT THIS HAD A LESSON!" Shouted Leorio

"CALM DOWN LEORIO!"

"HOW AM I ABLE TO CALM DOWN!?"

"YOU'LL WASTE OUR CORRECT RESPONSE!"

Leorio backed away and looked at Kurapika, surprised. "Correct response?" Kurapika sighed and hid his wooden sword thingies away.

"We gave the correct response. Silence was the correct response"

"Silence? What do you mean…" Leorio asked.

"There was no right answer Leorio. This quiz had no right answer but we could only state 1 or 2 as the answer. We weren't meant to respond to any of those because both of those answers are wrong. Being silent was the only answer " I answered Leorio

"but what about the other guy?"

"They never said he gave the right answer. She only said, "You may pass". In other words, this path is the wrong path" stated Kurapika.

"That's right." The old lady stood up and walked towards the door. She told us that this is the correct path, we walk there and it will take us directly to the tree and that a couple lived in the cabin beneath the tree, that they serve as navigator and that if we met their standards they would guide us to the exam site. Leorio dropped his stick, went to the old lady and apologized for his rudeness. She said that she doesn't mind and that she enjoyed meeting people like Leorio. I go to Gon and poked him "Gon, it's over" He sighed and and fell down on the ground and said that he can't answer the question. Leorio and Kurapika told him that the quiz is over.

"I know that! But you know…what if I run into a situation like that and I can only save one person …what should I do then?" Leorio and Kurapika looked at him, shocked. I just listened to Gon as he continued.

"It wouldn't be right to choose just one…but one day, I might have to make that choice. " He looked down and I patted him on the head.

"Think about it when it happens in the future Gon. Right now, dwelling on it will make your head hurt" I said softly. "When that happens, we'll be prepared"

Gon nodded and stood up "You're right Hana!" I smiled at him.

"But y'know Hana, You said you were bad at quizzes like me so how come you answered this one?" I blinked and noticed that Kurapika and Leorio were curious too. Winked at them

"It was a guess hehehe" I laughed nervously as the two sweatdropped. Gon smiled "You must be smart then Hana!" I blushed at the compliment and scratched my cheek.

We walked to the path that was instructed to us by the lady and prepared ourselves for what will be in store for us.

But you know, I already know what happens.

Thank you for reading it! I know it's long but I appreciate your time! Please leave a review and I hope you look forward to the next chapter!
