Hunter x Hunter fanfic about Killua x OC – Kay. The fan fiction follows the original storyline with some… minor changes in the dialogue and scenes.

I don't own Hunter x Hunter or any of the characters, though I do wished that I owned Killua *blushes* just as I own my OC. Hope you enjoy!

I decided to write this fan fiction because I read colbub's A Fallen Star and because colbub hasn't updated her fanfiction in a long time, I have asked her permission to continue writing her story with some changes in the plot the way I want it. Thank you very much!

Chapter 1: Encounter

"Excuse me..." I heard a boy's voice from afar. At least, I think it was a boy's voice, it seemed childish enough. I wonder how old he is. I pushed through a mob of people, trying to get to the source of the voice, but halted when I noticed an annoying presence- the fat, no good, pig-like, box nosed Tompa. He's such an idiot, who in their right mind would offer a can of laxative juice to a herb expert like me? He was trying the same trick again but this time, the target was 3 boys. 'Should I stop him?'.

"BLURB" The smallest boy in green spat out the juice as soon as it went into his mouth.

"Tompa, your juice tastes weird! It must be out of date!" And without another word, the two next to him dumped their cans.

"I-Is that so? I'm sorry! Really sorry, I didn't know!" Tompa stuttered, bowing to them. Tch, suck up.

"It's okay," The little one answered innocently," Good thing I drank it first. I often eat plants and buds in the mountains, so I have no problem detecting weird tastes."

Tompa made a fake apologetic face, before explaining some things to the boys that I couldn't quite catch, then scampered off to find more victims. As soon as that... annoyance... was gone, I walked up to the three boys.

"Hello." I greeted, "My name is Kay. Nice to meet you." And offered them my hand. 'I guess these guys aren't half bad' I thought.

"I'm Gon," He accepted the handshake, "And this is Kurapika and Leorio."

"Nice too meet you." The two said in unison. One was a girl... no wait... a boy, I think, with a girly face. The other was an old man... with spiky hair.

"This must be your first time here. I'm a rookie as well, so let's get along."

"Okay." Gon smiled brightly then he paused for a moment and added, "Kat, you smell like herbs."

"You can smell it? I was sure that I hid the smell perfectly, so your nose is really something to be proud of." I said, wincing slightly, hoping that he didn't take the offense to the unintentional rude comment.

"Yeah!" He agreed.

I smiled. I was glad that he took that as a compliment, I was afraid that he would misunderstand.

"How the hell did he take that as a compliment?" Leorio whispered to Kurapika.

"In a way, I do understand."

"Is that so..."

Suddenly, I felt like Gon was really familiar, I silently wondered if I've met him before. Just as I was going to ask him, a bell (I don't know if it could be called a bell, it looked gross to me) rang and a person appeared. I wonder why he doesn't have a mouth... but that can be saved for later.

"Hello. I am the examiner for this stage. The reception is over. Now the exam will begin. This way please, we will begin with a short verification... It is an extremely difficult exam. Sometimes you can miss a chance, and can be injured irreparably, or die.. There are things that cannot be avoided. Now, please follow me." He started walking ridiculously, swinging his arms front and back, his legs taking long strides. "Count is okay. There are 405 participants for the first examination. Now, let us begin." A few seconds passed and he began to pick up the pace. "Ah, I forgot one detail. My name is Satotsu. I am responsible for the first round. So I must lead you to the place of the second round."

"The second round? You mean the first?" A bald guy asked.

"The first one has already begun." Satotsu explained. "If you're able to follow me to the place where the second round stands, you'll have passed the first test. I can't tell you where or when we will arrive, so just be content with following me."

"An endurance test?" Leorio voiced, "I'm enjoying this! Where he goes, I go!"

Suddenly, a white haired boy overcame us with his skateboard. Leorio got angry at this sign of 'rudeness' and began to shout,

"HEY KID! THAT'S NOT ALLOWED! THAT'S CHEATING!"

After thinking about something for a while-probably questioning whether or not he should retort, or just ignore the comment- he answered Leorio with a simple,

"Why?"

"WHY? ITS AN ENDURANCE TEST!"

"You're wrong!" Gon defended the boy, "He just asked us to follow him didn't he?"

"GON WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?"

"You should conserve your energy by not shouting." Kurapika advised, and I nodded my agreement; his loud voice was killing my eardrums.

The white haired boy then diverted his gaze to Gon, and then to me.

"Tell me... How old are you guys?"

"I'm 12!" Gon chirped, "I don't know how old he is though."

'He? Does Gon think that I'm a boy? Oh well, its better that way, it draws less suspicion'. Killua looked at me, expecting an answer.

"I'm a bit younger, I just turned 11."

"Really? I thought that you were older then me though." Gon said.

That comment made me a bit sad, as it brought back some memories... I didn't like being old, but I ignored the little twinge in my heart and asked,

"What makes you think so?"

"I don't know... instincts?"

I laughed. Though I haven't known him for a long time, I feel like we're really close already. I just can't shake off the feeling that I've seen him before. Ah well, no matter, better focus on the course.

"Just like me." The silver haired boy muttered. He then flipped his skateboard into the air and jumped off stylishly. "I'm also going to run."

"Cool!" Gon admired.

"I'm Killua, 12 years old."

"I'm Gon, we're the same age!"

"I'm Kay. Nice to meet you."

"And you mister?" Killua asked, turning to Leorio.

"MISTER? OI! I'M NOT THAT OLD! I'M NOT EVEN IN MY TWENTIES YET!"

"ARE YOU SURE?" Gon yelled back.

"ARGH GON! IT'S FINISHED! I'M NEVER TALKING TO YOU AGAIN!" Leorio shouted, as he made a long suffering pose and Kurapika slowly edged away from us, probably attempting to keep his sanity.

Not that I blamed him though. I probably would've done the same.

That's all for the first chapter. Please review!
