The Whiny and the Selfish
Summary
What if you added to the already unique Hunter x Hunter team an overly protective whiny sister and a selfish teen age girl? The results would be absolute chaos. My pairings are kind of obvious. The story sets during the Hunter exam. Hope you like it.

Chapter 1:
Race you to the top!
"Gon…I'm going to murder you…"
Sorry Kim, I had no choice. We were going to miss it.
My head hurts… and I think I broke a rib…you're gonna pay…
I'm really sorry sis.
Both siblings were looking at each other, well one of them was more glaring than anything else. After their brutal jump from the edge of the cliff to the deck of the ship, Gon had landed perfectly on one knee while his sister was now laying on her stomach. Wishing that everything around her would stop spinning. Weirdly the floor was much less harder then she had first thought. Suddenly it started to move and Kim was certain that her dizziness wasn't the cause.
"Get… off" A man's voice said. The girl finally noticed that underneath her instead of the usual wooden floor was laying the spiky haired man that Gon had followed around all day. She jumped off him in surprise and ran at Gon's side where she instantly knew she was safe. The man stood up and checked if his suit was still in one piece, fortunately for him (and everybody else) it was. His inspection finished he turned to Gon shouting:
"Next time warn us kid, some people don't like leaving their life in the hands of a 12 years old's fishing rod!"
"Yeah Gon, Tux man's right. Don't do that again. My arms still hurt…"
Hey don't call me Tux man, the name's Leorio…
Sorry mister but we were going to miss the boat…
Don't call me mister the names Leorio!
Gon grinned happy to finally know the man's name. Seeing her brother's joyful expression made Kim smile too. Soon they were all grinning idiotically at each other for the soul reason that they had managed to board on time the ship that would lead them to the hunter exam.
What they didn't know is that a blond teenager and the captain of the ship were watching them carefully. Thinking the same thing, well almost:
"This trip won't be as boring as I thought."
"They're too loud."
The trip was long and there was nothing to do, well that was Leorio and Kim's opinion. They were both lying on the floor bored to death, ignoring the fight going on a few meters away. Kim didn't share Gon's passion for fishing not that she minded, sitting for hours without moving until having cramps in your fingers and arms, just for a stinking fish wasn't her thing. But that didn't stop her to go check out what Gon had caught when he shouted out of nowhere:
"Got it!"
The boy held proudly in front of him an enormous fish. The captain had come to congratulate him. But Kim didn't listen to their conversation. Her full intention was on the seagull's cries. They all meant the same: "DANGER"
"Kim what's wrong? Is there a problem?" her brother asked after noticing her zoning out.
"Look…" she said pointing in the bird's direction. Gon frowned at the sight.
"There's going to be a storm…"
How do you know kid?
You can taste salt in the air and the seagulls are flying in weird patterns, Gon explained he turned around to face his sister, Kim?
The birds, their alerting each other of a danger, an enormous storm's coming.
Leorio who had listened on the conversation asked in an unconvinced way:
"You understand bird language?"
Just the general things.
She answered a serious face on. The captain looked at the kids, both equally brown pair of eyes fixed on the horizon. Kim's black curls swinging in rhythm with the wind.
"They have your blood in their veins Gin, no doubt about that!" the captain thought.
"So when is it?"
In two hours, the siblings said in sync.
Men, bring those sails down!
What you believe them?! Yelled a stunned Leorio. The captain just ignored him and went to inspect his men's work.
A half hour later, everybody was staring at the main mast;
"It's so pretty."
Uh, I wouldn't qualify it like that, little girl. There's an old legend that says all sailors who saw Saint-Almo's fire never made it back to land.
The captain said looking up at the glowing pole.
"Well good thing we're not sailors." Leorio added. Kim rolled her eyes at the man's joke and refocused her attention on the beautiful Saint-Almo's fire covered mast.
Most passengers were lying on the floor seasick or just terrified. Only four seem to enjoy the violent sea. One was playing on barrels and fetching water for his sister (Gon), another was comforting and offering herbs and water to the sick (Kim). A third one was sleeping peacefully on the only hammock in the room, finally the last one was sitting on the ground finishing an apple and admiring his complexion in a little mirror (Leorio of course).
Well that's how the captain found them. He invited them in his quarters and asked the future hunter examinees why they were here. Gon and Kim answered the same thing. They were searching for their father and the twins wanted to know why their father had chosen his job as hunter instead of them.
Kurapika wanted revenge and information on the famous group the phantom troupe. And lastly Leorio after a lot of arguing, finally admitted he was in it for the money. Making everybody sweat drop.
"Always knew he was just an idiot…" Kim thought
"Money grubber" Kurapika mumbled to himself.
"Hunter exam here we come!" said to himself an overly positive Gon.
You must have noticed Leorio and Kurapika's duel scene missing. Oh and the sailor's saving not happening. I'm really sorry about that! Hope you still enjoyed it. I'm sorry if I misspelled "Almo's fire". I don't how to write it.
Please tell me what you thought about it even if my story's a bit rushed.
