Hi, everyone! So this is my first fanfic, and it probably sucks. But I would still very much like people to review and comment on it. Good and Bad. I mean what's the worst someone could
say? It sucks? I already said that it just might. ^.^ Tell me what you think!
This is just the same story as the Anime and Manga only with my oc in it. It starts when Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio first get to the Hunter Exam and meets Tonpa. It ends where the Anime
episode 6 ends. I think it was number 6...anyways:
Hunter x Hunter was created by Yoshihiro Togashi. I just own my OC.
Also, Thank you to RhiannonWolf for correcting me about Hisoka.
#1: Exam 1, Part 1
"Wow, look at all the people.", Gon said as he looked around the room watching all the others scan and size him up. So many of them were so strange looking.
"Yup, there's a lot of them.", Leorio said doing as the same thing that Gon had done. "They all look like freaks to me."
"How many people do you think are here?"
"With you three, 405 total.", a new voice said. It came from behind the three newest members of the Hunter Exam. He held out his arm and smiled while introducing himself. "Hi, I'm Tonpa. #16 this year."
"Hi, Tonpa! I'm Gon! And that's Kurapika and Leorio.", Gon said pointing to himself and to his two friends beside him.
"It's always nice to meet some friendly newbie's. A lot of Rookies are all serious and distrusting most of the time.", Tonpa told the three as he went to each person shaking there hands. Leorio was the only one who didn't shake the man's hand.
"How did you know this was our first time here?", Leorio asked in place of a hand shake. He looked the shorter man over.
"Well I haven't seen any of you guys here any of the other times I've been here. And I never forget a face. So it's pretty easy to pick out Newbies. Plus you three-" Tonpa's explanation was cut short from a pain-filled scream that echoed through the underground room. It silenced every noise but the sound of blood dripping to the floor followed by a body. Falling to his knees the owner cried out in pain. His arms from the elbow down were on the floor not too far from him.
"What the hell was that?", Leorio questioned with him mouth open.
"Oh, great. That Lunatic is back again this year..."
"What do you mean 'again'?", Leorio still had his mouth open in shock.
"I thought everybody would know.", Tonpa sighed. "#44: Hisoka the Magician. He's one bad dude. He was here last year, almost passed, too. But he got kicked out because he killed almost an Examiner he didn't like."
Gon swallowed hard. He turned, looking at the magician smiling and giggling from the harm he just caused.
"What? If he did that last year then why is he able to come back this year?"
"Anybody can come back and try again if they fail.", a small strange looking man said. He handed Kurapika, Leorio, and Gon number pins like the one Tonpa had. There numbers 403, 404, and 405 were now on their shirts. And then the small man walked off.
"Oh, man. Freaks, Weirdo's, and more Freaks...Just my luck."
"As long as you stay away from him Hisoka you will be fine. I've managed to stay alive all the years I've taken this test. You guys will be fine.", Tonpa reassured them.
"Wait, just how many times have you taken the Hunt-"
"This is my 35th go at it.", Tonpa finished Leorio's question before he could finish it himself.
"35.", Kurapika and Leorio stuttered, their jaws hit the floor and their eye's went wide.
"35! That's amazi-", Gon's excitement was cut off by an annoying ear bursting ringing. It came from what looked like a shrunken head keychian. It was held by a mouth less man in a red velvet suit (I think it looks velvet-ish). He was gliding down slowly from the ceiling, it seemed. When the man pulled the toung of the strange small head the ringing stopped. He began to speak only after everyone was looking at him.
"As of now the Exam is closed to anymore applicants. Everyone here: Welcome to the Hunter Exam.", he said as he landed. "I assume you all know this Exam is very demanding and a real challenge. You can be killed easily during your stay. Anyone who wants to drop out now feel free to do so." Some of the people swallowed hard, but that was it. "Follow me now." From his spot in the middle of the crowd, Gon could see the man from the shoulders and up. After a few minutes or so only the top of his head was visible. He could see and hear many of the applicants in the front start to run.
"Hey! He's picking up speed!", Leorio stated the obvious, obviously.
"So this is how it's starting this year, huh? I guess it could be tougher.", Tonpa said with a smirk.
"Okay, what do you mean?"
"You haven't figured it out?"
"If I knew why would I ask someone?"
"I am sorry for not introducing myself until now; my name is Satotz, The Examiner for the first stage of the Hunter Exam. I am also leading you to the second part of the Exam.", the man in the suit said as he picked up even more speed. "Keeping up with me until we reach the second stage, is in fact, the first stage." Everyone had began to jog by now. Before getting a little faster he looked back adding "If you didn't already know that." Leorio rolled his eyes and jog onward.
30 Minutes Later...
Gon looked around at everyone then sighed. He just couldn't get it. "What a weird test."
"Actually it isn't all that weird, kid.", Tonpa said from his spot next to Gon. Kurapika looked down at him from his spot.
"He's right. This test is most likely designed to test our physical strength as well as our mental strength." Gon only looked up at him with his head tilted a little. Before he could say something like 'what do you mean?' or 'huh?' Kurapika continued to explain. "We're being tested on our physical strength by the running. Their making us run to see how long we can go before our body gives up. And the mentel part about this test is that we don't know where we are going to or for how long we are going to be running for. And if we don't know how long we have to run for or where it is we are running it can cause a lot of fatigue to the mind. And if the mind is stressed then sooner or later your body will become just as strained as your mind."
"No problem! No problem! NO problem! I can keep up with him easy! No big deal!", Leorio proudly shouted from behind the other three. "Just gotta keep going!"
"Hey, Tonpa. Who else here do you know?", GOn asked turning his head to look at the older man.
"Huh?", he asked. He could hear Gon's voice, but he couldn't make out what he had said over Leorio's huffs.
"If you were able to pick Gon, Leorio, and myself out then you should have no problem picking out other first-"
"Hey, Kurapika's right!", Leorio puffed harder. Him and Kurapika argued for a minute about while Tonpa pointed to others in the crowd.
"They all sound so great.", Gon said with a smile. Leorio opened his mouth to talk only to have Kurapika cut him off.
"Talking uses up energy-so try not to talk. You could be using that energy to stay running.", he explained.
"Hypocrite.". Leorio mumbled under his breath.
"Do you know anything about anyone else?", Gon asked Tonpa. His eyes excited.
"Hey! Why don't you tell Gon !", Leorio went ignored.
"Hmm. Let me see...", Tonpa began to look around the crowd again. He pointed at two jogging bodies a little ahead of them. Gon's eyes followed. "The guy is #249, his name is Hanzo. He is really skilled." Tonpa paused for a second to catch his breath- he was starting to sound like Leorio. "And the girl is #400, her name...it starts with a...L, I think. This is her first time, she said, she was too young last year." While Tonpa named off random names that began with the letter L, Gon focused on #'s 149 and 400.
"And since I'm a Ninja and all I go through some pretty tough training. It's all worth it though, I have a great body and a personality to match." Gon heard him say. Hanzo smiled down at the girl running next to him. She smiled back.
"You talk a lot for a Ninja.", she said and he continued ramble. She sighed again looked around. It felt like someone creepy was watching her. When she turned her head to look back she saw Gon. She gave him a semi wave and he waved back. She didn't think it was someone creepy anymore.
"Will you shut up already!", Leorio shouted down at Tonpa, who ducked a little to avoid the spit from the tallest man's yell. "It doesn't matter! Just focus on pass-" Leorio's attention span was distracted the sound of a skateboard and a boy on riding pass them. He stopped yelling at one person and began shouted at someone new. "Hey you! You can't do that! Kid on the skateboard- your cheating!" The boy only turned his heat and looked at Leorio with a blank face.
"Hey, what's your name? And how old are you?", Gon asked the boy with the smile that seemed to be plastered on his face.
"What makes you think I'm cheating?", he asked Leorio question with his own, and ignored Gon's.
"Well duh! Look around. This is to test our endurance!", Leorio said. The boy looked around for a second or two then back at Leorio. "You skate- you cheat." Leorio's tone was very 'matter of fact'.
"Not really, the Examiner only said to follow him. He never said how or that we couldn't use any-" Gon didn't get to finish his correction.
"Who's side are you on?", Leorio shouted down- his eye's bulging out just as far as the cain in his forehead.
"There are no sides.", Kurapika told him. "And your wasting energy, again."
"Hmph! Some friends you are!", Leorio raised his chin into the air.
"Their friends...", the boy on the skateboard quietly repeated to himself.
"We're allowed to bring whatever we want.", Tonpa told them all.
"No one asked you!"
"Talking isn't only wasting energy, but it's also very annoying.", Kurapika sighed.
As the boy on the skateboard slowed down a bit, Gon was able to catch up enough to be next to him and look up. He looked down.
"What's up?", Gon asked with that smile of his.
"You asked what my name was?", he repeated Gon's first question.
"Yeah!", Gon confirmed. "But I guess you don't have to tell me if you don't want. But I'm Gon! And I'm 12!"
"Your name is Gon...and your 12-years-old."
"Yup!" In one swift move the skateboarder leaned down, jumped up off the board, caught it and started running next to Gon. "That's so cool. But, how come your not gunna use it anymore?"
"Hey, Mister. How old are you?", he asked looking behind him and up at Leorio. Once again he ignored Gon's question.
"MISTER? I'm not all that much older then you guys, you know?"
"What? No way!", Gon laughed at him.
"Damn it! Just for that I will never talk to you again, Gon.", Leorio declared turning his head oppisite of Gon.
"Un. Beleiveable...", Kurapika said with his eye's wide from Leorio's maturity.
1 Hour Later...
The first part of the Exam was still going on. Everyone was running now. There will still a few people who were able to run without huffing and puffing. Only about two or three people had dropped out of the Exam, and a few were thinking about it. Another few thought that they were going crazy- the was no change in anything. It was like they wern't really going anywhere.
Nobody had said a word to anyone. Not even Gon, he hadn't tried to talk to the skateboarder for about an hour now. And Gon couldn't take the no talking thing.
"I wonder who he is? I think he looks around the same age as me.", Gon said looking over at Leorio. "What do you think?"
"I couldn't care less!", Leorio turned away from Gon. "He looks like another annoying little brat to me." Gon only smiled.
3 Hours Later...
"We've passed a lot of tunnels.", Kurapika said braking the silence. Leorio ran behind him, a sweat trail behind him. Leorio's hot breath and sweat dropped down on Kurapika. "I wonder how long everyone can keep running? I wonder how long you can keep running?"
"And what the hell do you mean by that, Kurapika?", Leorio shouted down .
"It's been almost 5 hours.", Tonpa added to the conversation.
"Hey, does anybody else smeel something, maybe, sweet?" Everyone looked at Gon like he had just asked the dumbest question in the world before slowly smeeling the air.
"I...do.", everyone said slowly.
30 Minutes Later...
Leorio wasn't doing that great by now. He was at the very end of the group. He was soaking wet and hunched over. He mumbled things that were only half heard. But then he stoped. He stoped running, he stoped standing, he just stoped. He feel to the ground and landed on his knees. His head was down.
"I'll never be able to be a Hunter...What was I thinking? I'm not cut out for stuff like this.", he said breathing hard. Gon, Kurapika, and Tonpa stoped when they heard him.
"Leorio, NO!", Gon gasped at the sight of his friend on the ground. He turned and ran away from the group and crowd to his friend.
"Hey, what do you think your doing? Do you not see that he's done? Leave him."
"What? No way! He's my friend!", Gon told him and turned back and ran to Leorio.
"Your...friend?', he slowly repeated the words, clearly not use to saying them.
"Um, exscues me. But you arn't going to drop out yet, are you?", the voice of a girl asked. It was from # 400. SHe stood behind the boy who held the skateboard. He only move dhis eyes towards her. Kurapika and tonpa looked at her. And Gon saw her from his place beside Leorio.
She had brown hair down to her shoulder blades, some of it layed on her chest and the rest down in back. She had creamy skin that came from just a little bit of being out in the sun's rays. Her eyes were brown and looked down while she bite her bottom lip. She wore a old pair of shoes, some capri's that were cuffed at her knee's, and a purple tank top under a black jacket that was zipped up half way.
"Well, you see, it's just that I-", the girl began but was too slow to finish.
"I WILL BE A HUNTER!", Leorio decided and announced to everyone. He got bakc on his feet and stared to run.
"That should answer your question.", Kurapika said as him and Tonpa started to jog towards Leorio. The girl had only made a small 'eep' after Leorio had ran passed her. Gon started out to catch up to everyone. When he reached the girl and the boy with the skateboard he turned and withhis fishing pool, Gon thrusted his wrist casting out the line. It attached to the handle of Leorio's suit case. With the suit case attached to the fishing rod and hanging from over his shoulder he ran towards Leorio, Kurapika, and Tonpa. The boy and the girl were on each side of him as he ran.
"Wow, that was neat.", she said. Gon smiled.
"So what's your name? I'm Gon, and I'm 12! How ol-"
"I'm 12, too!", she smiled with excitment. My name is Lawanna Lovell."
"Want to be friends?"
"Sure." Gon and Lawanna smiled at each other like they were small children. Then she looked over. "Hi." She waved to the other boy. He gave her the smae blank stare he did everyone else.
"I don't know his age or name, yet. He hasn't told me.", Gon explained.
"Oh...", was all she said. Gon pointed to Leorio, Kurapika, and Tonpa introducking each one from where they were.
"Damn it! Now my legs won't work!", Leorio complained with a huff, breaking up the introductions. He was on the ground again. Kurapika and Tonpa had each one of his arms over their shoulder's supporting his wait. Just like before Gon cried out his friend's name and ran to his aid. The girl half walked half ran over to the rest of everyone. The other boy just walked normally. By the time he reached the group Gon had a worried smile on his face.
"The reason why I've done this Exam 34-times before...I'm a sucker for newbies who need help.", Tonpa smiled down at Gon with Leorio over his shoulders. "The sweet smell you mentioned earlier, I figured out what it was. It's tree sap. I remember the sap helps you to recover twice as fast then on your own. I know right where all the traps and stuff are in the tunnels. And I bet I could catch up to you guys before the first part of the Exam is over. Trust me. I've done the Hunter Exam 34-times now. Remember?" The boy with the skateboard gave Tonpa a deadly glare as he ran passed him. He stared at Tonpa, even when he was out of sight. But his attention was pulled back closer to everyone by him.
"Okay I understand.", Kurapika nodded his head. Gon was off, he ran as fast as he could in the direction Tonpa went.
"Hey, wait! What are you do-"
"I told you; he's my friend. Maybe we'll see each other later. Then you can tell me your name, okay?", Gon told the boy with a smile. And just as Gon was almost out of sight Kurapika ran in the same direction.
"Exscues me, but...do you think it would be okay if I come...with?", Lawanna asked looked at the floor.
"I don't see any reason why not.", Kurapika told her and she nodded. He started running again. Before Lawanna ran with Kurapika she turned to the boy.
"It was...nice meeting you.", she said and ran to catch up with the blonde, leaving the boy with the skateboard standing alone.
Okay! Yay! I finally posted the first chap. to my fic.! I'm so proud of me...even if it sucks. =] But anyway there are a few things I want to make clear:
1: Lawanna does NOT like Leiorio/Kurapika/Gon/Killua/Hanzo/etc. yet. She's just friendly like any other 12-year-old girl...are 12-year-olds freinds? I was, I think...I can't remember so whatever!
2: Yes, Hanzo thinks she is cute. Or he was just giving her so much attention because she was too nice to say 'leave me alone'. Who knows. And Leorio, once he's not all tired and junk will
think she's cute. I mean why not?
3: Yes, I Lawanna will like someone, but later on and in a 'been-there-the-whole-time-kind-of-way' type crush.
4: And when I say shoes I mean a pair of Converse, not high tops though. And I hate using brand names and stuff in fics. I can't stand that. I just hate how it sounds. And I can't stand how high tops looks with Capri Pants. And when I say Capri Pants I mean they are not super skin tight but aren't all baggy like you usally see capris and peddal pushers. Capri Pnats should be tight. Shorts and Pants can be baggy, just not Capris.
5: Yes, of course the boy with the skate board is Killua.
6: No, I'm not going to use Nicholas or what ever his name is. He flat out buggs me.
7: I might switch between the Manga and the Anime. So if you get confussed because you only watched or read one then that's why. Right now I'm using the Anime as a guide.
8: Yes, I know. It sucks, huh?
