Hunter X Hunter: Irresistible
The Exam
Killua awoke and shut off his phone's alarm. He knew that today would be abhorrent and long. He hated this time of year. It was time for the Hunter's exam. Ever since he pissed off Cheadle…Chairman Cheadle, he was given the honorable (lamest) title of being an examiner until he was no longer needed (dead, more likely). For the last 5 years he has had to test future hunters under Chairman Cheadle's (strict) guidelines.
Teaching was not his forte. That required patience and kindness and qualities that Killua didn't care for. He had a twisted way of testing the candidates and normally ending up in trouble with the Association for his sadistic games. Of course he did it on purpose. His goal was to get out of examiner duty. Too bad for him that Che-Chairman Cheadle knew what he was up to and each year turned into a contest of wills between the two. It gave her a superior sense of satisfaction when the candidates passed the exam and turn out to be exemplary hunters.
Being an examiner was voluntary for each hunter, except for Killua. No matter what he was doing, when it came time for the exam he had to show up or else his license would be in jeopardy. He couldn't afford to lose his license; that would take him away from Gon and Alluka. He needed it in order to stay close to them. Without it, he would have no choice but to go back home and he wouldn't survive that.
Just thinking about home brought up memories of Illumi and mother. He shook himself and prepared to get out of bed. Giving himself a pep talk and imaging Chairman Cheadle dying in excruciating pain, he left his bedroom in the apartment he shared with Gon and Alluka and headed to the bathroom.
Alluka had gotten her license against Chairman Cheadle's consent and that was Killua's fault. There was an agreement between Killua's and Alluka's family and the association. Due to Alluka's (Nanika's) strange power, she was forbidden to become a hunter. Only the Chairman and Vice-chairman know about Alluka's abilities and that was only because at one point Alluka became a threat to the world (Killua was able to bring her back to herself). She was too much of a risk.
Killua wasn't having that. He knew that without the authority the association gave over the hunters, Alluka would end up imprisoned back with their family. He had protected her so far from their brothers, but the older they got the harder it became and Killua decided it was time for Alluka to plan a future for herself. He found a loophole in the bylaws and snuck Alluka into the exam, where she passed on the first try (just like her brothers).
Instead of punishing him, Chairman Cheadle made Killua a permanent examiner and if he failed at his duties, he would lose his license and while they couldn't take away his hunter title, the status symbol that was a Hunters License was too important to lose. At least Alluka was able to keep her license but she must be under the supervision of either Killua or Gon at all times. The Chairman was merciful by giving Gon authority over Alluka. It helped that Gon and Killua were married and Alluka saw him as another brother.
So they all live together in York New City, but today Gon and Alluka were out on a mission. Gon had followed Knuckle and became a beast hunter and under his tutelage, had earned one star already. Killua was a one star blacklist hunter/examiner and Alluka was a mixture of both, but she would never be officially ranked by the association; not that she cared. She was happy to be (mostly) free and going on adventures with the people she cared most about.
Since Killua was stuck doing the exam that could either take a few hours (great!) or days (boo!), he had the apartment to himself. Hoping into the shower, he hoped to relieve some tension and began to stroke his flaccid cock. He missed Gon so much. Unfortunately the exam weighed heavily on his mind and it wouldn't let him focus on the task at hand. He gave up after a while, finished washing his body and turned the water off. He stepped out of the shower and while still dripping wet, gave a frustrated yowl. At least he didn't punch something.
Fifteen minutes later he was dressed and heading out the door. The apartment was on the eighteenth floor in a twenty storey skyscraper that was all the rage in the city. Although, this building was different; it was designed for security and only Nen users could access it. The building was mostly empty, being filled with various Nen users who traveled a lot and preferred to be secretive. The exclusivity of the building reminded Killua of his family's home (the only part he liked about the place) and enjoyed not having to get to know his neighbors. He headed up the stairs for the roof and the waiting helicopter that would take him to the exam sight.
He had drawn lots with the other examiners and he was given free reign over phase one of the exam. He suspected the drawing was rigged but complaining about would get him nowhere. His planned tortu-test could fit in any of the phases and it was definitely designed to weed out the weak.
The helicopter took him to the airport and the Association's airship. Once on board, he headed straight to the bar for a much needed drink.
"It's not wise for an examiner to be drunk before the exam," said a voice behind him.
Killua didn't deign himself to turn around. He knew who this voice belonged to. "Hello, Chairman," he said after downing his first glass of whiskey. He tipped his glass to the bartender and got a refill while the Chairman came to stand next to him.
"How are Gon and Alluka?" she asked him politely.
"Don't talk to me like we're friends," Killua responded tersely.
"Can the attitude, Freecss. I'm only being nice," she said.
"Nice is giving me the choice to not be here," he quipped.
"Well, I'll admit you are a good examiner," she said.
He scoffed but didn't respond.
"We'll be leaving soon. Try to be friendly with the other examiners," she said and she walked away.
He gave a noncommittal response and finished his drink. He tipped the bartender and left the bar going towards the cockpit. He was friendly with the pilot and preferred his company at the moment.
About an hour later, they arrived at the designated exam site. Killua actually got excited. "Let's kill tonight," he thought as he took his time. He put on his most disturbing smile and disembarked in time to catch the end of the Chairman's welcome speech.
"…those who successfully pass the exam will become hunters of the Hunter Association…" Killua stopped listening then, choosing to scan the crowd of eager examinees. He saw a few that he failed in previous exams. They saw he him; some looked afraid and ready to give up, but there were a few who seemed ready for the challenge. Killua looked forward to breaking them all.
As his eyes continued roaming the crowd, he spotted a woman, that for some reason he couldn't take his eyes off. No matter how hard he tried to look away, his eyes were drawn back to this woman. She was the same height as Chairman Cheadle, but with skin as brown as Canary. She stood a little bit apart from the many fighters in the crowd. He could tell that she was a Nen user, but she seemed unsure of herself. "Maybe she was just nervous about the exam," he thought.
Her jet black hair was pinned into an elaborate bun and Killua imagined pulling one of the pins out and her hair falling into wavy, curly ringlets that he would run his hands through as he...What was he doing? He looked away, but before he did, his eyesight grazed upon her full lips. They were in a slight pout and he wondered what it would be like to kiss those lips and other things. He realized that he was staring, but it seemed he was bewitched by this gorgeous woman.
Someone cleared their throats and Killua was able to break the spell. Fighting embarrassment (at this point, the Chairman and the others had left, heading to the next location and Killua was alone with the examinees) he began phase one of the Hunter's exam.
"Some of you already know me from previous exams. Welcome back, hopefully you'll pass this time," he said mockingly. "For you new idiots, welcome. Chances are I'll see you next year." Before he could continue some guy in the crowd interrupted him with boos and he attempted to insult Killua's sexuality, but was forcibly stopped by Killua choking him within an inch of his life.
"I declare you a failure," said Killua sinisterly and he continued, "One down, too many to go. Anyone else want to interrupt me? I'm feeling particular murderous today." No one replied. "Good. Now for phase one of the exam. Let's play a game of freeze tag. It's basically tag, but with a twist. For those who are tagged, you must be frozen in the location you were tagged. The only way you can move after that is by someone other than the tagger, un-tagging you. Look around you," and he indicated the wooded area a few kilometers from where they were. "On the other side of that forest is the goal. Reach the goal before the tagger and you pass. Simple right?"
One of the failed examinees raised their hand to ask a question. Killua stared him down, hoping to deter the man. After a few seconds that lasted a lifetime, Killua acknowledged him, "What is it?" he said tersely.
"What are the twists to this game?" he asked.
"I already told you, n-"
"No you didn't," was all he got out before he too was failed on the spot.
"Now, let's begin," he announced and the examinees took to running towards the forest.
Let's take a look at Killua's brutal twists in this game:
*Of course he was the tagger.
*The game ended when he reached the goal. He could take as long as he wanted. With his speed, this game could end in minutes. It all depended on him.
*The "Freezing" was actually him electrocuting his victims and paralyzing them; nonlethal though, but it would render the victims immobile unless tagged by someone other than Killua.
*The goal was not easily accessible (multiple traps placed) and those who reached it passed this phase and would move on to the next one immediately.
Now back to the story!
Killua casually "froze" quite a few examinees. He didn't bother to count, since he didn't care. He wondered if any of them would truly pass. Since Chairman Cheadle has been in charge the expectations for hunters has changed. Cheadle cares more about the perceived image of hunters then Chairman Netero ever did. One of the major reasons the passing rate for the exam, since she became Chairman, has declined is because she wants to make sure that those that receive the title of hunters actually fulfill their duties as hunters. She doesn't want another Illumi or Hisoka to have the title of hunter and the usage of the Association's many resources.
Killua did have a passing thought about where Hisoka was, as he strolled underneath the branches. He sensed a cluster of examinees ahead and at least one of them actually sensed his presence. He knew that one would tell the others to run and would be the most helpful to the makeshift team. He targeted that one, just to see what they would do.
He gave them a few seconds head start before he chased them, heading straight to the one who sensed him. It was then he recognized who that one was. It was the woman from earlier. Her bun was a little messy from running in the forest and her clothes were dirty and torn, most likely from one of the traps. The tears in her clothes allowed him to see her brown skin underneath and desperately needed to touch her.
Like a moth to a flame he was drawn to her. He noticed more details about her. She may have been short, but she was very voluptuous with full breasts and hips. She wore a light blue long sleeved T-shirt that was three times her size and a pair of black leggings (the T-shirt kept her ass from showing) and a non-descript pair of shoes. The outfit spoke simplicity and showed a bit of her personality. Killua wanted to see more.
With her hair up, her neck was exposed and fantasized about kissing her and biting her. He noticed her eyes. They were like two pools of molten amber that he wanted, no needed to fall into. He wanted to hear her moan and scream his name as he…what was going on with him. His thoughts were in a whirlwind. He had never felt this way about anyone other than Gon before. He was getting hard and forgot all about the exam.
He took a step towards her and she took a step back. It made him hesitate. He sensed apprehension from her. He didn't want to scare.
"Are you afraid of me?" he asked in a coyly.
"Will you freeze me?" she asked timidly.
"What?" Killua asked hazily. Then he remembered the exam, "Oh, no. But I want to kiss you," he answered. He took another step towards her, but she didn't move back this time.
"You probably shouldn't," she said breathily. He took another step.
"Why," he asked seductively and taking another step.
"Because, were in the exam," she said. He took his last step, bringing himself face to face with her.
"May I…" he began to ask but she answered before he could finish, "Yes" and his lips were on hers. She brought her arms around his neck and he clutched their bodies closer. Their kiss deepened, they were breathing each other in. Killua had backed them to a nearby tree and took her arms in one hand and raised them above her head. He placed his other hand on the small of her back, slowly inching its way down. They broke the kiss to breathe, and in between deep breaths, they looked into each other's eyes with wonder, awe and lust. Seconds turned into an eternity. He heard the sound of a branch breaking and sensed the presence of someone else. It brought them back to the present and Killua immediately let her go.
"You should go," he said. He was embarrassed and extremely guilty. He felt he had no right to hinder her anymore. She didn't hesitate and left him. Killua was glad that she didn't look back.
Killua got himself together and decided to end the exam as speedily as possible. He used Godspeed to "freeze" as many examinees he could without running back into her. Her scent covered him and he seemed to be connected to her somehow. He knew when she had caught up with the group she was with when he first spotted her in the forest. He knew when they had made it to the goal.
As soon as they crossed, he followed behind them and ended phase one of the exam.
Once the exam was done, Killua went back to the air ship. Those that crossed the goal were transported to another location where they immediately started phase two with another examiner. The air ship had made it to this location, so Killua thought about having another drink in the bar.
He felt guilty. He knew that kissing that woman was cheating. He had never been tempted to stray from his marriage bed until now. He had never kissed a woman before. He didn't know what came over him, but he knew that wasn't a good excuse. There were no excuses that could justify his actions. Instead of the bar he found a private spot to ruminate over his mistake.
His thoughts went into circles. On one hand he was sorry and knew he needed to make this up to Gon, on the other was curious. That woman intrigued him. Always one to be proactive he called Gon, hoping that by apologizing now, he could be forgiven. It was then that he noticed that he never got the woman's name.
