Author's Note: Thank you for reading Reaper X Hunter! This is my first fanfic so I am open to any advice!
Disclaimer: I do not own Hunter X Hunter... Only my precious, amazing, and awesome Skylar! I lovers her XD
It was midnight and all Skylar could do was stare up at the sky. Her pale blonde hair in a messy, high pony tail and her peach colored eyes drooping from lack of sleep. Training today had been torture and super exhausting, but for some odd reason her 12 year old body wouldn't allow her rest. She continued to admire the beauty of the heavens until a scream was heard from the woods not too far from where she stood. Without a second thought, Skylar jumped over the railing and rushed towards the noise.
"She jumped over a log, dodged trees, and avoided rocks as she maneuvered through the area with only the moon lighting her way. The yelling got louder as she approached it. Soon an eerie scene unfolded in front of her. There was a man with spiky black hair and a piece of cloth wrapped around to be used as a headband fighting a large group of what looked like bandits
'Strange.' She quietly thought to herself. She then noticed the man was clutching his side and that some of those bandits were indeed dead. 'He must have done this.' She soon realized. "Hello." She got the attention of the men. "You are trespassing on private property, so I must ask you to leave." She told them, but she quietly was pulling out her retractable metal pole. By the looks of the people in front of her, she just knew they'd be trouble. She began glaring at them
"Look men, this little boy wants to play hero." The lot of them began laughing at her.
That statement seriously irked her, but she showed no outward emotion. The man with with the spiky hair noticed this, and looked at her with curiosity. "If I could I would." He said amongst the bandits' laughter. Skylar took this as a sign that he was the good party here.
"Understood, after I'm done here you are welcome to my house to patch yourself up." He nodded. "However you 'men'," she said the term loosely," will not be as lucky. Either leave now or your lives are of forfeit." She turned her glare back on the group of men in front of her.
Jethro, the leader, stopped laughing and ordered his men to, "kill the annoying brat." And so three men came up at her. They walked, confidant in their superiority. 'Mistake number two.' Skylar thought to herself. Their first mistake was not leaving in the first place. Just as the three were almost upon her, she disappeared from their sight. Or so they thought. In reality she merely rushed them and crouched down into their blind spot. As the men looked around for her, she came up to one and swung her pole into his rib cage, bringing him to his knees. The other two appeared behind her, but she quickly jumped out of the way and brought her pole down on the one to her left as she glided in the air. The man clutched his face in pain and looked up, but only saw her bring her pole back down to meet him head once more. Soon the man was out like a light.
"Damn you!" The last of growled out at her. Jethro watched this in mild horror. He soon sent more out as back up against the child. But all soon met a similar fate.
"I will give you one last chance. Leave." Skylar glared at the leader of the bandits. Jethro was no fool, he knew a loosing fight when he saw one.
Jethro soon turned to the spiky haired man. "Count yourself lucky this time, Ging. I'll be waiting for you." He told his remaining men to grab those unconscious and soon he pulled out a small trinket. All the bandits grabbed the leader and soon they had vanished.
'Wait, his name is Ging?' Skylar thought to herself. 'That's the name of Gon's Dad in Hunter X Hunter!' Now she was fan-girling. Despite her rough training and hard upbringing, the one this that made her seem normal and happy was watching anime. And among all the anime she watches, Hunter X Hunter was one of her absolute favorites! "Do you need any help." She said quietly. Image and levelheadedness was one of her founding principles, so she refused to loose face in the presence of this stranger.
"I think I can walk." He gruffly let out. 'Just like his son.' Skylar noted. After him tripping for the sixth time, she got up under his arm and slowly helped him to her small cabin. She gently laid him on the couch and got her medical supplies. With the lights on, she was able to finally get a good view of his face. And true to her earlier thoughts, he indeed looked like Ging from Hunter X Hunter. He stayed quiet while she worked on patching him up. After she was done, she heard his stomach growl in hunger.
She looked at him. "Hungry?" She asked him. He rubbed his head sheepishly before nodding his head. "I'll get you something." She quietly told him as she walked of to her kitchen. 'He seemed pretty hungry, and something healthy would help.' She looked in her cupboards. "Aha!" She cried out. She soon set to work in the kitchen.
At the same time Ging looked at her home from his position on the couch. He saw pictures of a little girl that looked very similar to the boy that saved him. He also saw a picture of a woman who had the same blonde hair and a scary looking man with the same peach colored eyes. He soon concluded they must be the boy's parents. As Ging looked at the newer photos, he saw only the boy and his father. The father no longer smiled, and as the years became closer to the present, the boy lost his smile too. These pictures reminded him of his own son, Gon. Soon Ging was brought out of his musings by the boy. He had made a fruit smoothie, made some bacon, and also some eggs on the side. The boy made himself some as well.
The two ate in silence. However after they were done eating, Skylar finally spoke again. "So what's your name?" She asked him. She watched as he paused for a moment, probably deciding whether or not to tell the truth.
"Ging. And you?" She was glad he answered truthfully.
"I'm Skylar. So why exactly were you all in my woods?" She asked him, hoping he would continue to answer her.
"I doubt you'd believe me, Skylar." He looked down quietly. He probably didn't understand it much himself.
"Try me." She dared him with a smirk. If he was truly like Gon, than that should be enough motivation to get him talking.
"Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you." He smirked back at her. 'Good.' She thought. "I am a powerful nen user in the world of hunters." He looked at her. "And I was searching for this artifact," he lifted it up and it looked very much like the one the bandit had, "when I had gotten to where it was located, I had found that there was more than one. It was then that I was ambushed by those bandits from earlier. I was winning the fight until Jethro grabbed one the other artifacts and had activated it, sending us here. Once here, it was discovered we couldn't use nen, so they all ganged up on me. I was able to kill some, and that is the screaming I believe you heard. And then you showed up and took care of them." He finished and awaited her response.
"Cool." She said. Ging anime fell at her reaction.
"You actually believe me!?" He freaked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I?" Skylar looked confused.
"Boys these days." Ging mumbled to himself.
"I'm a girl! Why does everybody think I'm a guy!" Skylar yelled.
"What the hell!" Ging yelled back. 'This is one strange world!' He added in his mind
After a moment the two soon calmed down and Ging had a bright idea.
"Skylar," he said, "would like to be my apprentice?" He asked her. Skylar's eyes lit up and she nodded furiously. "Then it's settled, I will teach you nen."
"Yay!" Skylar screamed while she jumped up and down.
"Go pack." He laughed at her antics. He watched her nod and run off to what he assumed was her room.
Skylar grabbed the duffel bag from her closet and quickly made work of packing. She threw in her favorite purple skull shirt and the other two just like it, her black cargo pants and the purple ties that go around her knees, she put on her black boots, tossed in her IPod with its charger, her phone went in her pocket, and she put her phone charger in the bag too. Lastly she took a photo of her and her parents and delicately placed it in the bag as well.
"Ready!" She said as she entered her living room once more.
"Just hold on to me." She did as he said and soon the world she once knew was long gone, and the world of Hunter X Hunter was in front of her.
She couldn't wait!
