Hello, my Kawaii Potatoes! I just finished HxH and it is one of my favorites so I'm going to write a story for it. It is my first HxH fic so I hope you guys like it!

I don't own Hunter x Hunter (sadly). I only own my Oc.

"Hello. Please take a number," the short green… man, maybe, handed a pin to a cloaked figure.

A small, pale hand gently took it and looked at the number. 106. The figure made a 'tch' sound and turned away. She had hoped to be under a hundred.

"Be sure you wear this on your chest at all times. Be careful not to lose it," he called after the figure.

She walked only a short distance before she was interrupted by a short middle aged man.

"Yo!" He said with a smile, "Haven't seen you around before." She didn't respond. He laughed nervously, "U-umm, I'm Tonpa. I've taken the exam thirty-five times, so if you have any questions feel free to ask me any time."

The figure slightly nodded, and started to turn away.

"W-Wait. What's your name?" Tonpa asked, a sweat drop forming on his temple.

She looked back and said, "Lotus."

"W-Well, Lotus," He said, reaching into his pack and bringing out two cans of juice, "Not many rookies make it this far, so why not have a toast to celebrate with me?"

Lotus turned back around. "Gomen," She said in her soft voice, "But I was warned not to take anything from Tonpa the rookie crusher." She looked over her shoulder to see his shocked expression, her cloak's hood covering her face except for a smirk she wore. "Don't be too surprised," She said, her smirk developing into a grin, "I can read your mind," She tapped her temple, "so I know exactly what you were planning to do." She said nothing else and turned and walked away.

Lotus couldn't actually read minds, but the temptation to play head games with him was almost too great to pass up. Lotus actually had a friend who failed the exam because of Tonpa, so she decided to get him back. She was very proud of herself, even if it was a pretty childish thing to do.

She wondered around a bit, keeping herself entertained by trying to guess who would pass the first phase. Soon she settled down on one of the pipes half-way between the floor and ceiling.

Many more people came in, and she grew bored of her game so she looked around.

There is Tonpa. He's also sitting on the pipe, but he's across the room. Lotus hoped it was because of her little trick. He looked over once and she waved. He quickly looked away.

There is number 44. Lotus didn't know his name, but Lotus noticed how everyone seemed to glare and avoid him. She never dreamed of going near him, mostly because of her irrational fear of clowns.

And last there is 99. The only thing she noticed about him was that he was young. Not that she could speak. She was probably the same age as him. Lotus watched him the most. There was something about him that made her wonder who he was, but she couldn't find anything strange about him. Lotus wondered if she should approach him or avoid him.

Ding!

"More people?" Lotus asked to herself. It felt like forever since she got here. She wondered when the exam will start.

Her thoughts died when she saw who stepped out.

He was about her age, with spiked greenish-black hair and orange eyes. He looked so happy and innocent. Was he…?

Lotus hopped down from her seat and moved closer. Tonpa was there, so she suspected it was the boys first time. She stopped just close enough to hear what they were saying.

"…my thirty-fifth attempt," Tonpa had been saying.

"Thirty-five times?!" That was when Lotus noticed the boy's two companions. One was a little older than herself, maybe 16 or 17, with blond hair and grey eyes. The other looked older, maybe his late 20s, early 30s, with spiked black hair and glasses.

"Well, you could say I'm an exam veteran," Tompa said with a smile. Lotus rolled her eyes at his fake kindness.

The boy's two companions mumbled to each other. Probably something about how stupid Tonpa is for bragging about it.

Tonpa continued, "If you have any questions feel free to ask me."

"Thank you," The boy said.

"My name is Tonpa."

"I'm Gon."

Lotus' mouth formed a surprised 'o' shape, then melted into a small smile. Gon.

"If you see Gon there, do not approach him. But if he comes to you, do not tell him anything about me."

Lotus shook the voice from her head and looked at Gon. She ended up smiling, despite herself. He looks just like his dad…

Lotus snapped out of her thoughts when Gon introduced his friends, "These are Kurapika and Leorio." They nodded in response.

Lotus snuck away after that, making her way back to the place she was sitting earlier.

So that's Gon, huh… Lotus looked back over at him. He's a little different than I expected, but… Her smile grew. Sorry, Ging, but I'm not going to just ignore him. I'll be following him for a while.

After all, he is my brother.

And there is the secret! (Don't tell Gon.)

Most of the chapters will be longer. This ones shorter because I felt it needed to end there.

Hoped you liked it! Bye bye!
