There may be things you're wondering about during this fanfiction that have to do with the plot of Hunter x Hunter. This follows the 2011 anime. Please enjoy.
I do not own Hunter x Hunter characters or plot only the mysterious Iruki and any other OC's I may make.
Iruki boarded the brown average looking ship. She looked at the small island that had confined her for years with her pure black eyes. She turned around and sat quietly like she always did. She watched as other people boarded the ship. As each person boarded, they stared at her. A seven-year-old looking girl with past the waist length light pink hair who looked like a porcelain doll. However they obviously had never realized that looks can be very deceiving.
A boy who was a couple of inches taller than her said that a storm was coming and he was very right. The captain came into the room where almost everyone who boarded the ship was passed out. The exception being that boy who was giving a herb to a nearly passed out man, a teenager with blond hair and black eyes which were pretty convincing but to her she knew they were contacts who was lounging on a hammock while reading a book, and a man who was wearing a blue suit eating a green apple which was apparently sour which he did not hesitate to say loudly. She was standing looking at all the people there. Iruki could never relax around people. She was always on full alert as her body could not relax.
Later the four of them were in the captains area. "First, tell me your names." The captain asked. The boy said in a cheerful way while raising one of his hands "I'm Gon!" Then the blond-haired teenager with contacts said "I'm Kurapika." Then the man in the suit. "It's Leorio." They all looked to her. "Iruki." She said in an emotionless, quiet, and feminine tone of voice without looking at anyone directly but not at the ground. The captain stared at her for a while which made her stare back at him. She knew why he was staring. "Why do you want to be hunters?" The captain asked.
Leorio then said while pointing at the captain. "Hey! If you're not an examiner, you can't boss us around!" The captain apparently did not like the answer Leorio gave him. "Just answer the question!" Gon looked at the captain. "My dad is a Hunter." Iruki noticed a slight change in the captains expression. Gon continued "I left Whale Island because I want to know why my dad desired so much to be a Hunter." "Hey, Kid!" Leorio exclaimed. "You're not supposed to answer his question!" "Why can't I tell him why I'm he-" Gon was saying before Iruki interrupted.
"Two reasons. One. To escape. Two. To feel. That's why I'm here." Iruki said while still staring at the captain. "You too?!" Leorio exclaimed. Everyone's eyes were on Iruki for quite some time."I agree with Leorio." Kurapika said with his eyes closed "Aren't you younger than I am? Show some respect!" Leorio was pissed. Kurapika went on ignoring Leorio, saying it was shameful to lie and that it would expose his deepest secrets. "Does that have to do with why you are wearing contacts?" She asked still as emotionless. She noted to herself that this was the most she had ever talked in one day.
"HE's WEARING CONTACTS?" Both Gon and Leorio shouted. Kurapika's eyes widened. "You know I'm wearing contacts?" She nodded. "Didn't you all know that? He either hates his eye color or his secret has to do with it. Also this question of why we want to be a hunter is part of the Hunter test. I was wondering why you were resisting to answer. You didn't know, right?" Everyone was surprised, even the captain. "I wasn't expecting you to be the one who figured it out." The captain said pointing to himself and the crew. "We are here to see who even has a chance of passing."
Kurapika then said. "I'm the last survivor from the Kurta clan. Four years ago my clan was annihilated by a band of criminals. The phantom troupe. They were all killed because of The Kurta's Scarlet Eyes. When emotionally agitated, our eyes turn scarlet. If we die in that state the eyes will stay that way. I wish to kill them for what they've done." His eyes flashed red. "Why do you want to be a hunter?" Gon asked Leorio. "Money!" He went on for a couple of minutes. "Money can't buy you class." Kurapika said to him. "Come out here and I'll end that filthy Kurta bloodline." Leorio said. "Take that back!" They went out of the room and to the deck to fight.
The storm was getting worse. Everyone was out on the deck struggling to get the things they needed to do done. Except for three. Iruki walked up to every area to see if she could do something but everyone said "A girl shouldn't have to do anything." Suddenly a man named Katsuo started to fly over the edge of the boat. Kurapika and Leorio reached over the edge to grab him but missed. Gon jumped off the boat to grab the man which he did but Kurapika and Leorio were almost falling off too.
Iruki walked over and in one hand had one of Leorio's ankles and in the other was one of Kurapika's. She lifted them over her head and put them on the ground. Once the storm had passed Kurapika and Leorio were talking to Gon and Her. "Thanks for grabbing us." They said to her. She simply nodded. Leorio and Kurapika had apologized to one another and the four of them were going to be dropped off at the port closest to the place where the hunter exam.
"See you at the exam. Gon-san, Leorio-san, Kurapika-san." Iruki said when they had docked. They all laughed except Iruki. The three of them told her to drop the -san. She nodded inferring she would do that and darted off towards the tree leaving the three of them behind. "Did you notice she never once showed the slightest bit of emotion?" Gon asked. "You're right. She never smiled. She never laughed. She wasn't scared. None of it showed." Kurapika said. After they had passed the Doki-Doki Question They all thought about her answer to why she would become a hunter. "Two reasons. One. To escape. Two. To feel. That's why I'm here." That answer was imprinted in all of their minds.
After Iruki had gotten to the small cabin Two Kiriko and their children stood before her. "I'm Iruki." She said. The daughter guided her to the place where the exam was. The hadn't quizzed her or tested her in any way. "You aren't going to do anything to test me?" The young girl asked. "No. We already know your potential." The two of them walked into a rundown place to eat. The daughter of the Kiriko ordered food. The person said that she could go to the back room. The daughter of the Kiriko walked her to the back room. She smiled and waved before leaving the emotionless girl alone in the room.
She soon realized the room was an elevator before taking a seat. Iruki wondered 'Is this going to help me escape? Is it going to help me feel anything at all?' The room stopped and the door opened. She stepped out. The whole room silenced. All eyes were on her. What they saw was a pale girl with pink hair that flowing softy with black eyes that had no visible pupils. She was wearing black legging and a strapless pale pink shirt which matched her hair. She had a choker around her neck and long black fingerless gloves that went all the way up her arms and just before her shoulder.
She walked up to the short bean headed man. He handed her a plate with the number "374." She sat at the edge of the room ignoring the constant glares. A man in a blue shirt walked up to her. People around were saying "He won't even spare a little girl. He really is Tonpa, the rookie crusher. ""This is your first time here right? I'm Tonpa." She stood up and walked away. He didn't try and talk to her again because for about an hour and a half she was staring at him non-stop. It would make anyone uncomfortable.
Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio finally came after a long wait. They started to walk over to her but were interrupted by Tonpa. He offered them a drink but it was easy for them to tell it was bad. Suddenly a man screamed. His arms were turning to flowers.,#44, Hisoka was behind it. "I suggest you stay away from him." Tonpa said to the three she already knew. Iruki stood up and walked toward Hisoka. "Why did you do that?" She asked with curiosity. She had no feeling but wondering why. Everyone tried to hide their gasps as she asked that. "I wonder why." He said before walking away with a smirk.
Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio all rushed towards her shocked that she asked a question like that without fear. Suddenly a bell rang. "The Hunter exam, Phase One has started. My name is Satotz, the phase one examiner. Please follow me." A man with lilac hair and no mouth said. Everyone was following him. Iruki was close behind the man. Satotz started to go a little faster. After awhile she slowed down to look for Gon and the rest.
She ran beside Gon. "Oi, Kid! You're not supposed to use a skateboard. It's an endurance test." Leorio shouted at a boy with silver hair on a skate board. "It's not an endurance test." Gon and Iruki said at the same time. "What's your name? I'm Kilua." He said. "I'm Gon. This is Ir-" He was interrupted by Iruki. "Iruki." She said looking at him. "How old are you two?" Killua asked. "12." Gon said. "14." Iruki said. "You're 14? You look like your way younger." Killua said. "I feel like running instead." They also talked about why they wanted to be Hunters but around then Iruki didn't make a sound.
It had been several hours since they started running. "I just noticed this but it doesn't look like you're running. It's almost like you're walking but you're going at the same speed as us but it doesn't look like it." Kurapika pointed out. "I'm walking." She said. Then Killua said "I'll race you." To Gon and Iruki. "Whoever loses has to buy dinner." Gon said. The three of them rushed ahead. The boys jumped into the air exclaiming that they win while Iruki just stepped forward.
Satotz said that there were lot of creatures in this area that would trick them in any way. "Don't let him fool you!" A man's voice yelled. Mostly everyone was starting to believe it. Iruki walked up to the fake that was trying to escape. "Don't go over there, Little Girl!" Somebody yelled. A vein popping sign was apparent but then interrupted when Hisoka threw cards at both the fake examiner and the real one to make everyone else know the truth. Iruki dodged the card that was coming her and the fake examiners way, It hit the fake examiner and he fell over dead. Satotz told Hisoka it would not be wise to do that again and then everyone proceeded to go to the Second Phase.
They still had a long way to go. Along the way Kurapika and Leorio got lost so Gon went after them. Killua and Iruki were running towards the second phase. "Why do you want to be a Hunter?" Killua asked her as he was curios. They just reached the waiting area to the second phase so she was able to avoid the question. "Their not here yet." She said. Then Hisoka got their carrying Leorio. Iruki noticed but decided not to point it out. Later Gon and Kurapika got there and the second phase started.
Kurapika is wearing contacts from the beginning in this. There may be some significant parts I skipped but that was so you could get more of an idea about who Iruki is. Do you think there needs to be more original scenes? I hope you liked it. Please review.
