This be my 1st fanfic, So please don't bash it too much :P

Disclaimers: Hunter x Hunter characters belong to Yoshiro Togashi blah blah blah…ETC.

ANYWAYS, is anyone else bothered by a lack of important female characters? Sure, you've got the Genei Ryodan girls, but all the 'good' fems are either ditzes (Neon) or have tinnnnny insignificant little roles (Karuto)

SOO! I decided to create my own spunky gal, Enjoy!

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, feeling the warm, soft blanket that was her aura, surround her. It was an evanescent ocean of ever-changing currents, drawn by some mysterious gravity to stay around her body. Already, she had mastered Ten, learning to keep her energy from escaping into the air and exhausting her. It was now effortless -- as natural to her as breathing. However, Ten was only the most basic skill of Nen. To compete with true Nen masters, she would have to be able to control and manipulate her aura. Wing-san had told her that this was far from easy.

She focused on each and every shoko, imagining them as tiny vacuums drawing the deep scarlet aura inside her body.  Her brow furrowed in concentration as she forcefully began to pull it in. Gradually, there was but a thin opaque glow. But this would not be sufficient to hide her presence; she must completely stop the flow of aura around her. Her muscles tensed as she struggled to keep the energy inside of her.

Just a bit more…

She pulled with all her strength, straining with the intense effort.

So close…

It was like attempting to hold back a tidal wave, a billion tons of water pushing against her. Gasping, she collapsed onto the floor and her aura surged out.

"Ughhh! It's useless," groaned Mirah Reiyu as she brushed a lock of raven black hair from her forehead. Her wiry arms glistened with a slight sheen of sweat as she lay against the floor, chest heaving with exhaustion.

"Relax, Mirah. It takes time and practice to fully control your Nen. Though you've managed to master Ten in a day, there is a big difference between simply keeping your aura from escaping and stopping its flow altogether, or manipulating your aura."

"But Wing-san, how come I still can't control my Nen? Perhaps I'm just some kind of mutated human. Or maybe I'm too weak… or perhaps I'm not even human." She griped exasperatedly.

"Mirah. I know it's hard. But I also know you are perfectly capable. Why else would Netsuko have insisted on this?"

She grimaced.

Wing-san sighed, "I didn't mean to be harsh. You understand don't you?"

"Yes, sensei."

He smiled and ruffled her hair affectionately. "It's getting late. Go to bed, we will continue this tomorrow."
