Here begins it; it's a new story. I think I finally found the story I truly like myself, no matter if people, like you, like it or not. I just hope for reviews/fav's/fol's, since they make me happy, and that's what every writer on her likes.
Oh, and to confirm it early, I will be using Japanese. There could be times where I forget to add the Japanese word, for example so you know what I mean. ("Baaka! I'm not stupid.") Yes, I should have used baka at the second stupid. Well, I just think it's better not to for some reason, so if something like that happens, it's mostly because I think it sounds better the way I wrote it. (Maybe not for you.)
*sigh* Well I should just end with an 'enjoy' like I always say, and please do that, even if I don't know.
I'm hoping the prologue isn't bad. :/
Key-
Italics in quotations= thoughts
Italics only (like the prologue)= Mina talking to you (in first pov) And flashbacks. (I'll explain the key for flashbacks more when I have one.)
-Chaos-
-Prologue-
I always thought that my dream was to return to where I had been before. Though, it was more of a problem.
With that dream, I thought this "new world" which I thought it was, would change me, of course I was proven wrong. With where I am, I could ruin the future by doing one little mistake.
I just had to hope nothing went wrong, at least I would have to guess since I was somewhere I didn't know of about; I didn't know anyone at all. And that just made it worse.
I must have chosen the wrong idea to not return home and go ahead where I found the darkest, as in the evilest, item ever.
And once I toke ahold of it, I died, just kidding, no, not kidding. I literally died, but at the beginning of this story, I reappeared, at least I think so. I could tell I hadn't died then, I'd just passed out and someone somehow found me and lugged me across the world; I think that's really what happened.
Waking up, I could only find myself in a place called Zaban city, the place I met the two; the brat and the actor mother, and only after a week of two, I took the so called Hunter Exam, the destination I found my four teammates of the Sapphire Necklace group, them being who I called, Snobby, Stinkard, Moron, and the Wise Guy, and I'm Jerkface, created name by Stinkard, my rival I should call her, even though I had to spend some time trying to save her.
But back to point, I happened to fail the exam, and of course I had promised the brat and the actor mother that I would help them. Bad, bad mistake, only because I happened to fail.
So now I took the 287th exam, were I met the two dweebs. And yes, I have to give them a name.
My story is on how I could change the future, which I'll tell you is not a good idea to try. There is no way I could decide to change the future, and you'll see what I mean about this later on.
Shall we begin? (P.S. This is not in first pov, it's in third pov, starting after this.)
Disclaimer: I do not. I repeat. I do not own Hunter x Hunter. It is rightfully owned by Yoshihiro Togashi, which I heard is coming back mostly like next year or in 2017! (Yaay!) *ahem* I only own my Oc Mina. Along with the others I mentioned in the prologue.
-The Sapphire Necklace-
-Chapter One-
-The Snowy White Assassins-
"Thanks for the ride!" Mina exclaimed, waving back at the stranger. Firmly grasping her dirt brown backpack strap, she paced across the cement, her green sapphire colored eyes, just like her necklace, a green sapphire held by a silver chain, set on where the horizontal line would be, observing the atmosphere surrounding her in a black tank top, blue and green (mostly blue) plaid cardigan, as well as the sun tanned shorts and the blood red and partly snow white shoes.
A belt strap went diagonally across her front and back, holding an all light brown striped stick. (The belt being kinda like a case for the stick)
As she strode further, she began to hear voices, as well as the rolling of car and honks of anger. The crowds in the streets were made crazy in traffic. Luckily she had been running away from it.
Rolling came closer to her, like some car was going to pass by, except...it didn't sound like a car, and if it was, it was on the sidewalk.
More and more honking rolled through her ears, just like the rolling she heard. Except it started sound different; the rolling noise, she heard the rolling of a particular item.
And then her ears heard not really a particular voice, who was making that rolling sound. "Oi! Watch out!" shouted to speak up and unfamiliar voiced kid. She thought nothing of who this was because...who'd care if it wasn't anyone important. She had more important things to worry about, just like finding the destination of the exam site she needed to be at before it started.
"Eh...?" Mina exchanged her view of the horizon line to the opposite horizontal line, or in other terms, behind her back.
A skate board streamed down her tracks, swiftly moving closer to her running feet. The albino she saw, it couldn't have been more than another one of Mina's kind, the skateboarder, and an assassin, except she didn't know yet. The girl was an assassin, though no one noticed anything that proved she was even one.
With one swift movement of blinking, she leaned a little over, just in case...
"Hey! I'm going to h-" That just made her jump to the side, she knew would happen if he referred to her, and she released the purple and green board she held. "-it you!"
"Oops. Bad mistake," she muttered, frowning to herself. Mina's feet slowed, pushing backwards to gain speed the opposite direction where her board had fallen.
Purposely falling backwards, she did a flip, letting her hand push off the grey cemented sidewalk.
"Hmm..." The albino assassin kept his eye on her, in surprise. He watched as the girl landed her feet on her board, leaned, and accelerated with a jam on the ground with her foot to move forward more.
"At least I didn't smack my head this time," she mumbled, sighing in relief. Her red and white shoed foot tapped the ground a few times before closing in on it to gain speed. Closer and closer she got, and more suspicious he got. The spiky snowy white haired assassin slowed a bit, in order to let her catch up. And in only a matter of seconds, "Sorry about that," she apologized, rubbing her head nervously. "I meant to get out of the way sooner, but I got distracted a little." Mina's head gazed away to look at the scenery and view ahead, since of course she had missed the last ten seconds she could have seen.
"Ne, how did you do that anyway?" To her surprised (well a little) she replied briefly. And yes he was surprised by that.
"Oh, uh...I don't really know how to explain it...I guess it was because I've tried it a lot. I do a lot of training, and I happened to need to flip backwards or forwards a lot." With that, she scratched her chin lightly. To change the topic though, she felt like doing it so she wouldn't have to break the silence, she asked one of the most obvious questions of all to choose from. "You got a name?" And that was obvious. "Or should I just call you Snow White?" She badgered the concern.
"Just call me Killua," he went on.
She chuckled softly at that, like it was actually funny, even though it wasn't.
"Try not to fight with me. It sounded like you were starting to get mad. I was only teasing a bit." The chuckling suddenly stopped then. "It's Mina by the way." Instead of holding out a hand to have it shook, she quietly crossed her arms, covered in blank white bandages. "I didn't expect to meet anyone this soon. I thought maybe during the exam I would, just like last year when I first met Snobby, Stinkard, Moron, and the Wise Guy," she thought to herself as exclamation points were popping above her head. "I just hope nothing's going wrong with them, since I left to take the exam." She sighed at that, and Killua raised an eyebrow.
"Why do I get the feeling that I should stay with her?" Killua immediately thought. He had just met the girl, and now he thought that if she was taking the exam, that he might as well tag along. He shrugged at that, and then Mina got suspicious.
"Why do I get the feeling that I should stay with him? I mean, I have nothing to do with him and I barely learned the guy's name, and now I get the feeling that maybe he should tag along with me! Weird." She shrugged at that, before slowing down a bit to fall behind. "Out of curiosity and randomly asking, why are you in Zaban City?"
Hesitating, he slightly looked away. "No reason."
That just made her glare. "Oh really. You don't have to hide anything. I can tell you're lying." Again, she crossed her bandaged arms.
Now he was in shock. He'd never met anyone with that kind of skill, minus his family. "I'm just taking the Hunter Exam..."
She smirked. "You're out of luck then, the Exam's already started." "Now let's see how good you are at this game."
"Baaka. I'm not stupid. I can easily tell you're lying too."
"Now I suspect of who this really is." "Correct. I was just playing you. I was trying to see how you would react since everyone else I tried that on were fooled." "But seriously, who is he really?"
"What? Are you taking the exam?"
"Of course. I toke last year's and almost got to the end, if you really want to know."
"I didn't really care," he murmured.
In a single moment of wasted seconds, Mina added up something to say. "This is just out of random, er, since we're both taking the exam, I wouldn't mind having someone tag along. I mean, you don't have too, but I would consider it since I toke last year's. I might be able to help, I assume."
No hesitation this time. "I guess." "At least if I'm not being chased by Illumi, that is." He shrugged, falling behind a bit, then kicking the ground.
"But before anything else though, I have one more question. What is your reasoning of taking the exam?"
"No reason."
"Oh, don't play around with me like that. I'm serious. You must have one on you, 'cause there's always a reason."
"I'm bored, that's all," he explained, briefly saying. "I found out about this ans thought it would be fun since it sounds easy." "I just hope it's not to easy."
"Okay?" "Well I guess that is a reason, I mean that does count as something," she blurted out, sighing once again at annoyance. "I don't really have much to say since I can't think of anything to pass the time." "Alright...Off to the exam then...er let's go, I guess?" She almost couldn't make out the words.
"That was easier than I thought it would be!" She sparked up, feeling excitement getting added to her outside feelings.
"So this is the place..." Killua added, holding the splattered yellow and red colored skateboard to his side. "Thought it would be more exciting than a dusty room full of people."
"At least it hasn't started. That's all I was concerned about, whether I made it or not." With that, Mina tapped her chin lightly.
"Welcome to the Hunter Exam."
"Huh?"
Mina looked down to a small suited..."bean?"...who was smiling at them. On his smiling face was green, like literally all around him. He was a green bean in a black suit, with eyes and a mouth.
"Here are your tags," he ignored the short confusion just to hand out two lousy white plates with only numbers on each, and a silver pin on the back. "Don't lose these because you will need them. Please wait inside until the exam begins," he offered.
"Hold up," she slowed down the offer, miming, 'pushing down an object'. "What are you suppose to be?"
"Gomen. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Beans. I am part of the committee and was assigned to give out the tags to all candidates."
They both sweat dropped, and both thought, "That wasn't even the question.!"
"Well, arigotou then. I'll be waiting until the exam starts, Jelly Bean." Almost obviously, Beans wasn't offended.
Walking ahead, she examined her received gift tag. 'Number 98.'
.
..
...
Again she sweat dropped. "Really...?! I'm seriously two away!"
"Lucky for you to say," Killua grumbled, holding out his tag to show her the more-unlucky-non-colored number.
"99..." She sweat dropped again. "That's unfortunate for you." "Of course it had to be one away. It shouldn't matter that much though; it's just a number for freaking sake!" "Well, I'll be looking around then. I wanna see if I recognize anyone...You've been free this whole time, so you can go off somewhere else here if you want to." Placing her hands behind her back, she created a ball with them, and moved away, her purple board sticking partly out of her bag. "Ja!"
"Ja..." he responded back in a more serene voice. Then he turned to see a blue clothed man, with a box for a nose, who seemed to be smiling, and...wanted him...? Well, that was strange, he would think once he met the dude.
"Ah, you must be a newbie," the boxed nosed man said with a hand slightly raised, as if he was going to shake his hand, yet that wasn't the reason why. "I'm Tonpa by the way. I-"
"I'm getting suspicious again."
"I'm wondering if you needed any help."
"And why would I need help?" he created the words in an ordinary way, to wonder why again was he even here. He was a stranger, and now he wanted to offer him some kind of drink! What kind of person was he? Tonpa, the what?
"I should have mentioned this before," he continued off with, then added, "I've taken the exam thirty-five times already." (Wait, wasn't it "this is my thirty fifth attempt"?) "I know the exam well and can recognize if someone is new or not." Number 16 it was on his plate. How was he not 1 when he knew the exam too well?
"No wonder," he concluded for an answer to his thought.
"How about we share a drink? A toast to our friendship!" he exclaimed, in fake excitement.
Even though he didn't consider them friends, and thought it was weird that even said that in the first place, he still took the drink. "Doumo!" And after barely meeting the drink, he could tell, especially by the taste. "You're trying to poison me." He smirked inside to hide his true self at that moment. "It won't work though."
"Good. Drink as much as you want. Now you won't be able to even begin the test. The laxatives should do the trick." He smirked inside, watching Killua gulp down the drink, then throwing the can on the ground.
"Ne, Tonpa-san? Can I have some more of that juice?"
"Eh?" In that pause, he stared in confusion. "The laxatives should have worked by now. Maybe it'll start working in awhile." Rubbing his head in, he spoke agitated, "Migi. Migi. I'll give you two if you'd like."
Again, he took the drugged cans of juice, popping one open to drink some more. Now all he was doing was playing a trick on the guy, since the poison didn't work, and he thought it might be funny to mess with the "Rookie Crusher."
"Ja! Doumo!" There he left drinking the next can, leaving Tonpa in utter confusion.
"There haven't been many candidates that I recognized, at least the dangerous ones," Mina thought out loud, expressing annoyance, since she clearly knew that some of the dangerous people from the year before failed, especially that one-
"AAHHHHH!"
"Oh, now begins the danger," she rolled her eyes in annoyance, turning her head back to see what had happened. "I'm surprised I haven't seen fat-san yet, or clown-san, and I need to know if clown-san is heeeeerreee." She stopped in fear, frightened by the incident. "What the heck!"
Her eyes set on a soon to be dead man, who's arms were disappearing, and sparkles were appearing like some magic trick.
"You should be more careful. At least apologize when you bump into someone." The sparkles continued to rise up, and disappear in the air, and the arm length decreased, and more and more screaming ran throughout the room.
"Oh, no, no, no. I shouldn't have even guessed if he was here or not. Shoot, now with the clown, no wait, he's a magician, whatever. What am I suppose to do with him here? I'll fail again, before I even pass the first phase. Even I don't have the will to fight him, and at least attempt to kill him, and I'm an assassin, what's wrong with me!?" Mina shook her head hard, a 'no', trying to step away, except she couldn't because of his presence. "I shouldn't've walked over here." The magician held up a card, coming from a deck of cards every magician would have on them. "I should have known from the beginning...Hisoka, why did you even fail last year? Now I have to compete against you, just like last year. Darn it!"
At last she exhaled in relief and regained control of herself, since she was frozen stiff from Hisoka's presence.
"A toast to our new friendship and luck!"
"Hm?" As she gazed away to see what was going on, she noticed four beings holding orange, familiar cans. Ticks marks suddenly appeared on the girl's forehead, and she clenched her fists. "Well if it isn't Mr. Rookie Crusher. Maybe I should pay him a visit." Irritatingly speaking, she almost marched over, but she could back in control to see that all three of them spilled their juice, purposely, one spitting it out, and the other two dumping it before even touching the can. "Eh..." "How did they even know it was poisoned?"
She began to eavesdrop immediately, hiding behind people, or getting closer and acting as if she just wanted to rest on a wall. All she heard was lies though, all from that certain "Rookie Crusher."
Though, before she could get all the detail, the rumbling sound of the wall she somehow didn't know could move, and the ringing of a creepy looking bell that had a face, and if it was, it was attacked the a green ball thingy which was attached to a string, and the string was held by the suited man with now mouth; just light purple hair, along with a mustache the same color, which replaced his mouth.
The bell stopped only a second or two later after the wall ended its rumbling, and so began the no mouthed "examiner" who started his informative speech.
"As of now, registration is closed," he first said in a composed expression. "The exam will now begin...But I must warn you that the test is very dangerous and can end up killing you instead. Anyone who wants to turn back, please exit via to the back door." It was only silence for an answer and no peep was made, just staring and died words. "Alright, right this way." In the distance, he let out a hand to show the group which way to go, which was the distance. "Please follow me, and then the test will begin." In a slow second of time, the examiner turned his back to them, and marched off, leaving the rest following in an obeying manner. "I should mention that examinees are not allowed to sabotage each other, as you saw...If you're okay with that, then you're welcome to continue." He was still marching across the tunnel, which it was now, still informing the candidates behind him. "Still with me? Good, you 404 candidates may enter the first phase."
Mina began to sigh, unfolding the backpack top to take out her purple and green skateboard, and dropped it flat on the ground before placing her foot right on it and pushing off. And when she did, she moved along, passing some examinees until she reached the albino, as she said would tag along hours ago. "At least I won't have to run," she murmured, which was dismay to some of the others, who soon would see her "cheating" somehow.
"Sorry for not introducing myself. I am Satotz, the phase one examiner, and the examiner that will take you to phase two."
"Phase two...?" a random character spoke aloud in confusion. "What about phase one?"
"Phase one has already begun. I'll be leading you through this tunnel. Follow me until we reach the end. But where we're going and when we'll get there, I can't say," Satotz resumed his small explanation.
"This should be easy, for both of us, since I can tell that we're going a long distance," Mina briefly blabbered out.
"How do you even know that?"
"I've learned the exam doesn't change much, of what each phase does. Actually this is kinda similar to one of the phases last year...I'm just going to hope certain people don't get in the way. I know of a few from last year that you don't want to go near."
He raised an eyebrow in slight confusion. Then the eyebrow went up higher hearing-
"Hey!"
"Now what?" Mina grumbled in a state of irritation.
Next Time On Chaos-
Gon: "Ore wa Gon!" ("I'm Gon!")
Killua: "Sore wa Killua nodesu." (It's Killua.")
Mina: "Mina watashi o yobidashimasu." ("Call me Mina.") "How about I call you two the dweebs?" *smirks*
Killua: "Baaka."
Gon: "You don't have to be mean to each other."
Mina: *sighs* "Yeah, sure."
Next Chapter-
Chapter Two: Meeting Defeat And Desire
Mina: "Maybe I'll join in with you Gon."
Killua: "I'll do the same."
Leorio: *suddenly calms down*
You may be wondering why I didn't give Mina #100. Well, here's my reasoning. Right before I got to the part where she finds out her number, I thought maming her 100 wouldn't be a good idea, or at least 98 would. It makes me think, if she had 100, "Of course, she ahpoens to have 100 exactly." It makes sense thought to give her that, only I would rather give her 98. That's just what I think.
I hope you actually enjoyed this. (Even if I don't know.) I would love to hear any thoughts or concerns, questions, blah, that kind of stuff. And especially corrections. I read through this before I published it, but I could've made a mistake. Oh, and if anything seemed rushed to you, I would also like to know because that's important to me.
Just to explain, the prologue might have been confusing to you. Of course now it should. A lot of it doesn't come in until after the Zoldyck arc since something will be added before the Heaven's Arena. I know it sounds early to be talking about the Heaven's Arena arc, but since the prologue might have been confusing, I might as well tell you this.
Ja!
