On a ship a girl was standing by herself as she was continuously tapping her foot while the ship was heading towards Whale Island, there last pick up destination. She had long Brown hair, while wearing a Beanie and Necklace that she had tucked away, with a Short Bo Staff hanging from the side of her backpack.. She took a can of Soda out of her pack and she quickly opened it and drank it, she could feel herself calming down as she drank the whole Soda. She then crushed the can using both of her hands completely squishing it and then putting the crushed soda can back into her pack. As she went into her backpack she took out a Footbag and started to play with it to pass the time circling it over her leg and passing it to her other leg.
"(Sigh) This is so boring by myself." The girl said to herself stopping and putting it back in her backpack she decided to just put her back against the mast and take a nap.
(Flashback)
The Girl was cleaning up the attic with her mother as she was going through some of her parents old things most of them mainly trinkets etc.
"Honey are you finished?" The Girls mother said
"Not yet...theirs a lot of things over here." The girl said
Ruma then noticed a pretty beat up box stacked at the very top, out of curiosity she decides to get a step ladder and try to reach for it but as soon as she started to reach for the box and managed to grab hold of it. just as she did though she lost her balance and fell with the Box in her hands as she crashed down on some old trinkets and the contents of what was in box fell.
"Ramu!" The Girls Mother yelled
"Don't worry I'm fine." Ramu said as she had the empty box in her hands. she then looked down and noticed all these different kinds of cool stuff in one of them.
"Mom whats this?" Ramu said lifting up some sort of Beast Tooth
Ramu's mothers eyes went wide and she quickly snatched it from her hand.
"Its nothing, just...Garbage." Ramu's mother said as she walked towards the box and quickly gathered everything that was in the box.
"Wait Mom I want to see what else is in there." Ramu said
"No Ramu, this box is off limits." Ramu's Mother said as she was exiting out of the Attic.
"BUT MOM!" Ramu's yelled
"No Buts!' Ramu's mom said
Ramu just put her head down in disappointment, and as she was walking out of the attic she then stumbled over something that Her mother missed, it was a damaged journal. Ramu quietly put it away under her shirt as she walked out of the attic. but as she walked down the attic she noticed her mother walking back.
"High Mom, I'm getting a little tired, can I rest for a minute?" Ramu said
"Sure honey just meet me back up there when your ready we got a lot of stuff to do." Ramu's mother said
" Okay Mom, Love you." Ramu said walking towards her giving her a hug.
After seeing her mother go up to the attic She quickly rushed into her room and closed the Door. She then took out the Journal and opened it where she then started to take a look in it, she then started she then noticed a name that she was not familiar with "Daishin Togichi" , The journal wasn't really that big only about 30 pages in Length, half of the 30 pages were rough Sketches of the Creatures while the other half was used to give small descriptions of the creatures. As she read it a bit more she became more intrigued of the contents and with the Rough Sketches of the different Beasts, some she has never seen before outside of the forest where her and her mom went to go hiking and pick Wild berries. although it was really hard to tell on what they looked liked due to the drawings being worn out due to what looked like being exposed to the elements for a long time while it was being used.
As she looked on she noticed a word that caught her eyes. "HUNTERS."
"ATTENTION ARRIVING TO WHALE ISLAND IN APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES!" The Captain yelled out.
Ruma opened her eyes and noticed the large island out in the distance.
"Finally." Ruma said as she was tapping her foot again.
The Boat then stopped at the port of Whale island. Ruma saw a good amount of people coming onto the ship, but as soon as she thought everyone got on she noticed a Boy Running towards the ship with a BackPack and a Fishing pole Strapped to it and instead of walking up onto the ship he just jumped right onto it.
"Phew I made it!" The Boy yelled in excitement. the Boy then turned towards the edge of the ship as it was leaving, as he waved Everyone that was back on the port Goodbye.
"BYE GON!"
"GOOD LUCK!"
"THANKS EVERYBODY! I'M GONNA BE THE BEST HUNTER IN THE WORLD! AND AS SOON AS I MAKE THAT HAPPEN! I'LL BE BACK! I'LL SEE YOU ALL AGAIN!" The boy yelled.
"HOHOHOHO! THE BEST HUNTER IN THE WORLD HUH? THIS KID HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE'S GETTING INTO." A Man said
"Every single year millions of people attend the hunter exams and only a handful of people make the cut Don't go and make promises you can't keep." another man said as a few of the men started chuckling. Gon just Continued on,
"Don't listen to those guys."
Gon turned and noticed Ruma walking towards him.
"Oh high there my names Gon." Gon said
"High Gon my name is Ruma, so your taking the Hunters Exam to?" Ruma said
"I sure am, you?" Gon said
"You Bet, I didn't come all this way to stop now...How old are you anyway?" Ruma said tapping her foot.
"Twelve." Gon said
"Heh, to be honest I didn't think I would find another person my age to actually do this." Ruma said
"Its the only way I'm ever going to see my Dad." Gon said
Ruma eyes went wide.
"To see Your...Dad?" Ruma said in confusion
"Yeah my Dad is a Hunter so the only way I'm ever going to meet him is if I become a Hunter myself." Gon said
Ruma was just left in a state of confusion
"Oh...Well ...I wish you luck Gon. " Ruma said giving the him some encouragement
"Thank you, I wish the same for you to, I hope that both of us will be able to become hunters." Gon said with a smile.
Ruma then started to look at him a bit closely.
"hmm." Ruma said
"What is it?" Gon said
"Its nothing, well see you later." Ruma said walking away. Ramu went into her pack and grabbing another can of soda. and as she did she then looked into her pack again
"Oh man I'm almost out, 1...2...3 MORE!" Ramu said in her head upset.
As Gon continued looking around the ship he then noticed a couple of sailors picking on one of there own who was carrying a crate of Apples and stumbling down
"Whatcha doing Katzo? The way that things are going for you Your never gonna make it as a sailor." One of the Sailors said
"HEY YOU SLACKERS GET BACK TO WORK!" The Captain of the ship yelled at the three Sailors
"YES SIR" The Two Bully Sailors said walking off.
"Hey Katzo Get up from the ground and stop embarrassing yourself. "The Captain said
"Yes Sir. "Katzo Said picking up the Apple crate again and walking away
"Wait!" Gon said tossing an apple that dropped the crate and putting it back in.
"Thanks. "Katzo said
Gon then looked up and noticed the Sea Cranes in the sky acting up.
"Theres a Storm coming. " Gon said
"How do you know?" The Captain said
"Because the Sky Cranes are saying it also.(Pinches Nose)...hmm." Gon said
Gon then Started to jump up towards the Crows nest as he looked forward and took a big whiff.
"THERES ARE REALLY BIG ONE HEADING FOR US! I CAN TELL BECAUSE OF THE SMELL!" Gon yelled to the Captain.
"This Boy, his eyes...could he be?" The captain said with intrigue
(Sometime Later)
As Gon Predicted, a huge Storm did hit the Ship and the Sailors along with the captain were Sailing against the waves as best they can the ship was rocking back and forth as Thunderstorms and black clouds covered the skies it as best they can. as the Contestants were below deck.
"CAPTAIN THE MAST WON'T LAST ANY LONGER WE SHOULD LOWER THE SAILS!" A Sailor said
"DON'T BE STUPID WE CAN'T QUIT WHEN THE FUN IS ABOUT TO START!" The captain yelled as the ship was ready to get into contact with a big wave.
"LETS FLY!" The Captain yelled as they sailed a top the wave.
As the storm started to settle down a little, Pretty much all of sailors were on the ground exhausted and sea sick.
"I've survived Bigger waves then these, this has got to be worst crew I've had in years, "The captain said to himself as he waked below deck to see how the Participants were doing and as he looked he noticed pretty much everyone was down on the floor sea sick.
"Not a single one of them has there Sea Legs..Pathetic and they think they can take the Hunters Exam?" The Captain said
"Here take this it will make you feel."
The Captain looked and noticed Gon giving one of the fallen people an Herb.
"Water." The person said
"Don't worry its on its way."Gon said
As the Captain looked he saw on hammock reading a book another one taking a bite out of an apple and Ramu just sitting down by nearby crate scribbling on a piece of a paper, tapping her foot.
"It seems that a few of them gots some iron in them." The Captain said
The Captain then Called the four remaining individuals to the Front deck.
"State your names." The Captain said
"I'm Kurapika." The blonde boy said
"I'm Gon." Gon said
"Leorio." the man in the suit said
"and I'm Ramu." Ramu said
"So, why do you four want to become hunters?" The Captain said
"Hey your not an Examiner why should we tell you?" Leorio said interrupting Ramu
"Just answer the question dummy!" The Captain said
"I will...because my dad is a Hunter, being a Hunter was the most important thing in the world to my dad, And I want to know why, that's why I left Whale island." Gon said
"(So he is Gings son)...I see, and how about you?" The Captain said looking at Ramu.
"Oh me? Because...I want to find and discover the rarest Beasts that are out there in the world." Ramu said with a determined and nervous tone thinking it was a dumb reason.
"So...You want to become a Beast Hunter?" The Captain said
"That's right, I know it doesn't sound much, but I've always wanted to know what other Creatures exist outside of where I lived, and being a Hunter is the best way to do it." Ramu said
"What are you two doing!? You don't have to tell that old guy nothing, get with the program you two, its us versus him, and I'm not telling him anything." Leorio said
"I'm afraid I have to agree with Leorio." Kurapika said
"Thats Mr. Leorio to you, you brat show a little respect to your elders." Leorio said
"But why not tell him..a plausible lie." Kurapika said
"Are you even listening to me?!" Leorio said
"However it is shameful to rely upon deceit, as for me I cannot reveal my reasons here, I have secrets, deep secrets which I do not attend to share at this time, that is why I won't answer your Question." Kurapika said to the Captain.
"HEY I WAS TALKING TO YOU PUNK!" Leorio yelled
"So both of you refuse to answer my question? KATZO!" the captain yelled
"What is it Captain?" Katzo said
"Get a hold of the Exam committee for me, tell them we have two more drop outs." The captain said.
Kurapika and Leorio turned towards him with confusion.
"What!?" Leorio yelled
"You still haven't figured it out yet? The Exams have already started." The Captain said
"IT HAS!?" Kurapika and Leorio yelled
"There are as many Hunter wannabes out there in this world then there are stars in the sky and the Examiners, they don't have the time and the resources to go through them all. that's where people like me come in, to go through them all, to screen all the applicants and trim the fat, I've already notified the committee about the rest of the lot, not one of them made the cut." The Captain said
"What?" the four said
"That was just a little storm and look how they handled it they would never survive the later stages of the exam, so in other words the only way you four are going to move towards the next portion of the exam is if I give you the go ahead, so I'll ask again and think carefully before you answer." The Captain said
"You could've told us that sooner." Leorio said
"I'm...The sole survivor of the Kurta Clan...Fours years ago my entire Clan was annihilated by a band of Criminals..that is why I want to become a Hunter...To Capture the Phantom Troupe." Kurapika said
"Sounds like you want to be a Blacklist Hunter..and the Phantom Troupe is a Class A Bounty..even the most seasoned hunters can't touch em...You know its a suicide Mission right?" The Captain said
" Death is not among my fears but there is one thing I do fear..is that time will quiet the rage in my heart." Kurapika said as his eyes quickly flashed Scarlet red.
"So in other words your out for revenge..you don't really need to become a Hunter to settle a few scores right? "Leorio said
"That is the stupidest question I've ever heard Leorio." Kurapika said
"THAT !" Leorio said
"There are certain places only Hunters can go, information they can only access, Actions they can only take, there are more but those are the only three I think you can only comprehend." Kurapika said
Leorio was ready to give him a piece of his mind.
"So how come you want to be a Hunter?" Gon said to Leorio
"Who me? Well thats simple..For the Money." Leorio said
"Money?" Ruma said
"Yeah Money...MONEY CAN BUY EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED, LIKE A MANSION, A COOL CAR, AND TOP SHELF BOOZE!" Leorio said
"If only it can give you class as well...Leorio" Kurapika said
Leorio turned towards Kurapika in anger
"Thats Strike three...Head outside, its time I finished the filthy Kurta Clan off once and for all." Leorio said
"You take that back Leorio!" Kurapika yelled in anger.
"Its Mr. Leorio." Leori said walking out with Kurapika walking after him.
"HEY WHERE ARE YOU TWO GOING!? I''M NOT DONE WITH YOU TWO YET!" The Captain said
"Its okay, just let them go, whatever there feeling so upset about is really important to them, its up to them now, the only thing we can do now is stay out of the way." Gon said
"Are you sure Gon? what if they end up killing each other?" Ruma said questioning.
" They'll be fine I'm sure of it." Gon said
"CAPTAIN!" A Sailor yelled
"What is it!?" The Captain yelled
The Sailor pointed outside the window and there was Huge water Spout heading for them.
"If we get caught in that the, ship is going to sink for sure." Katzo yelled
"Get the Sails Lowered now!" The Captain yelled
"Anything I can do?" Gon said
"Yeah Follow me." Katzo said
"Wait I want to help to!" Ramu said catching up to the two.
EVERYONE HARD TO STARBOARD!" The Captain yelled taking the steer.
Outside of the Ship everyone was Scurrying towards the Ropes that Adjusted the Sails. Gon and Ruma ended up helping some the Sailors pull With Ruma right Near Katzo. While Leorio and Kurapika were making a Stand off.
"Take back what you said about my Clan I'll forgive you if you repent Leorio!" Kurapika said
"You owe me an apology and I'm not telling you again, I'm not Repenting for anything you hear me?!" Leorio yelled taking out a Pocket Knife.
"Very well then." Kurapika said taking out Two Bokkens ready to fight.
But before they could fight the ship violently rocked towards the side knocking some of the Sailors off Balance that were raising the sails the Sudden Jerk ended Knocking over Ramu and the other sailors making them let go of the rope All except for Katzo who held on and was then being carried off near the end of the ship because of the Wind Current.
"OH NO!" Ramu screamed as she saw Katzo getting ready to be flung off the Ship, Leorio and Kurapika quickly saw it themselves as they saw him fly right past them, they quickly jumped into action as they quickly jumped and grabbed onto the side of the ship with one of there hands trying to reach for Katzo only for him to slip from there Grasps.
"Damn." Kurapika and Leorio said
Suddenly by the corner of there eye they see Gon jumping towards Katzo and grabbing him by the arms. Kurapika and Leorio grabbed Gons legs so he wouldn't fall into the water.
"Quick lets pull them up!" Kurapika said
As they were lifting both of them up, Leorio could feel his hand losing his grip that was grabbing onto the side of the ship slipping because of the rain.
"Damn! my hand is slipping!" Leorio yelled
"Just hang on a bit longer we almost got them up!" Kurapika yelled
" I...can't..." Leorio said as his hand was mere seconds from slipping off.
But as soon as his hand did slip, he felt something grab onto his arm.
"I GOTCHA!"
Leorio looked up and noticed Ruma hanging off the Ship with half of her body dangling off holding onto his arm.
"QUICK LETS GET THEM UP!" A Sailor yelled
Ruma could then feel someone pulling her back by her legs as she held onto Leorios arm, soon a few more sailors showed up finally pulling them all up onto the Dock safely.
As the skies cleared and everyone was able to take a break. Leorio went to scold Gon for the reckless action he did.
"YOU IDIOT, If it hadn't been for us you'd be shark bait, you owe me big time kid!" Leorio yelled
"Honestly How reckless could you be." Kurapika said
"Its fine you caught me, you both did , you both caught me together (Looks at Ruma) And you helped to." Gon said
"Thats right I did didn't I?" Ruma said
"GON!" Katzo yelled running towards them
"Hey Katzo!" Gon said
"You saved my life back there." Katzo said
"Well I didn't do it alone those three helped save you to." Gon said
Katzo then turned towards Leorio, Kurapika and Ruma
""He's Right, thank you all" Katzo said bowing in respect.
"Please no thanks necessary." Kurapika said
"No Prob, were just glad to see you made it out okay." Leorio said
"Its no big deal." Ruma said
"Again thank you, I should get back to my post. "Katzo said
"Heh. "Kurapika said chuckling
"Whats so funny?" Leorio said
"I'm embarrassed at my Behavior, Pardon my rudeness, Mr. Leorio." Kurapika said
Leorio had a look of Surprise.
"I didn't expect that, just forget it you can drop the mister, Leorios fine, And I'm sorry to, and I take back what I said earlier it was wrong of me to say those things. Leorio said
"Its fine. "Kurapika said
Leorio then looked towards Ruma
"Also I want to thank you Ruma." Leorio said
"Huh?" Ruma said looking up at him
"If you hadn't caught my arm after I slipped off "I" would've been shark bait, I owe you one" Leorio said
"Theres no need, You were in trouble and I wanted to help" Ruma said smiling
"HAHAHAHAHA YOU FOUR ARE GROWING ON ME! SO...I'LL MAKE SURE YOU FOUR ARE SAFELY DROPPED OFF AT THE PORT CLOSE TO THE EXAM SITE HOW DOES THAT SOUND!?" The Captain yelled
all four of them were surprised by the announcement
"Really!? What about your test?" Gon yelled in surprise
"Its like I said, its up to me who decides to take the exam, congratulations your all moving on!" The Captain said
Leorio, Kurapika and Ruma let out a smile
"ALL RIGHT!" Gon yelled in excitement.
Well here it is a Start of a new OC Fanfic on HXH, now before you go and ask, NO! This is NOT going to be a GonxOC or KilluaxOC or ?XOC Story (theirs enough of those stories already), and for the reason why I made my OC a Girl, well I got tired of writing about Male OC's and so I decided to change it up a bit this time, HunterxHunter is an Anime/Manga that I was late for the game for, and I couldn't believe I missed out on such an awesome Anime/Manga and it got me inspired to write this. I Hope you all enjoyed the chapter. Now I already have Chapter 2 already finished and Chapter 3 is just about done, but I want to see if this Story gets any attention first.
