Disclamer: Hunter X Hunter does not belong to me. The timeline also belongs to Yoshiro Togashi. I own my OC though, Emina. Just a heads up, this story follows the original Hunter X Hunter timeline BUT with my own added little spices :)
NOW! On with the story!
Have you ever wanted something so much that you would do anything to get it? But at the same time, you have doubts about it? You're so worried on what would or could happen if you got what you mostly wanted. That's what's going through my mind right now. I really want to find something, well, more like someone, but I don't know it that someone wants to find me too. I have so many doubts yet I still want to get what I want. Pretty difficult huh?
Anyway, this is what I'm trying to say. I have a twin sister somewhere in the world. It's been three years since I found out yet I still don't have any clue on where she is. All I did these past three years is to train and make myself stronger so that I have the ability to find her no matter where she is. When my parents told me that I have a twin sister along that I was adopted, it was as if my world crumbled like a cookie. I regained my composure somehow and convinced myself that I need to find my sister; she's the only blood related family that I know so far. Last year, I heard of something called the Hunter Exam. It sounded interesting so I researched it and found out information about it. It turns out that being a hunter could really come it handy. If you pass the Hunter Exam, they will give you a license card that can allow you to do different things; like going on restricted places or even using it as a passport. I really didn't care about using it to buy things; I already have enough money to buy anything. All I need is to access certain places and sites to gather information. During that time, I decided to take it. I trained and told my parents. At first, they said no, but when I told them the reason, they agreed. Although my mind was completely made up, some thoughts just kept on coming. One of them was the question, ~why did they leave me? ~ How could a parent leave their own child? I thought that I'll find the answer sooner or later, in the mean time; I need to focus on finding my sister.
Finally, today has come. Today's the day that I'm leaving Greece to go take the Hunter Exam. My parents still did their best on not letting me go but there's no use. I packed up my things; clothes, weapon, medicine, mp3 player, my documents, etc; and my acoustic guitar with me. I know that the guitar isn't necessary but I really loved it so I wanted to take it with me. After three years of training harder than I did before, I should be feeling confident enough. But the truth was; I was really scared. I didn't know what awaited me. I hid my uncertainty behind a smile and hugged my 'parents' goodbye.
"Take care honey," my mom said while hugging me tight.
"Be safe," my dad added.
I was about to cry but decided to hold it in, I didn't want them to see me crying. I looked up with an intimidating grin, "Ittekimas!" I yelled and ran before my tears betrayed me. When I was near the port, someone yelled at me.
"Emina-chan!"
I turned around and saw a girl with flowing red hair and green eyes. She was gasping for air and it seems that she was out of energy.
"Fuyumi! What are you doing?" I shouted at my best friend, running back to where she was.
She caught her breath and held out a hand-made necklace. "I...made...it.....for you," she said in between breaths. I took it and held it closer. It was a pendant that was shaped like a small kunai. It was held by a black string that has a clasp at the end. I looked at her. "Thank you Fuyumi!" my eyes were getting blurry now.
"No need to cry," she hugged me. "I'll miss you Emina-chan!" her voice was trembling too. I knew that she was good at holding back her tears but her voice still showed it. After a minute of crying, we let go of each other and laughed.
"Well, that necklace has two purposes." she was serious now. "First, to remind you of me; you dearest most precious bff." I nodded. "And, the second one is this promise. Promise me that you'll be back in one piece with your sister." she looked at me directly in the eye and I returned back the look. We grinned at each other and hugged one last time. "I promise," I said as we playfully punched each other's fists.
"I'll be back!!" I waved goodbye to my dearest most precious Bff.
"I'll be waiting!!" she yelled back.
I was wearing a black midriff shirt and a black skirt with combat boots. I covered my midriff with fishnets and bandages and my mom also gave me a black cloak. It came all the way to the floor and has a hood. I didn't know why but I felt that leaving the hood on was best. When I finally got to the port and saw the ship that will take us, I quickly came on board and sat on a side of the ship. It was really creepy since so far, I'm the only girl here, not that they know since my hood was covering my face. I sat down and put my stuff beside me. It was so tiring to walk all the way here, especially with my guitar and its case. It was so boring on board! I was so sick on seeing huge buff men acting all tough and throwing up in such a small wave. Pathetic. I played some random chords; when I got tired of it, I put on my mp3 player. The Captain told all of us that we will have to stop over Whale Island first to pick up other contestants and to restock the ship.
A day passed and we finally got to Whale Island. It really does look like a whale if you look at it carefully.
"Alright, you have three hours to wander around. Get back here before it's over or the ship will leave you," the Captain announced. "The ship waits for no one!"
Everyone dispersed, happy to feel land again. ~What a pathetic bunch! ~ I thought. ~It's only been one day on a ship and their this weak already?!~ I waited for thirty minutes before leaving the boat. I was too lazy to get up yet and besides, the crowd's too big. When I finally came down the ship, I decided to find a restaurant. On the way, I bought some snacks to take with me and some medical things. I finally found a restaurant and ordered food. I sat on a table and started eating. I was about to take off the hood but decided not to. Again, I thought that this wasn't a place for girls.
"Excuse me," said a voice behind me. I looked back and saw a girl with blond hair and blue eyes. No...Hold on, um....I think it's a boy but I can't tell. "Is this seat taken?" the person asked. I shook my head so he/she sat down. We sat quietly without talking for a while. Suddenly, out of no where a spider...HUGE spider came out. I thought it was poisonous so I was about to kill it but the person next to be beat me. He/she used his/her fork to kill it. I was like.....awesome! I looked over to that person and, I thought I was imagining things but I think I saw his blue eyes turn scarlet for a short moment. I let it go but the person said, "I hate spiders." I nodded to acknowledge his opinion and headed out of the restaurant.
(The person sitting next to Emina's POV: aka Kurapica)
It was so crowded that Kurapica only found one seat vacant. He asked the person sitting next to it if it was taken. The cloaked person shook their head so he sat down. He wasn't really the nosy type but Kurapica couldn't help but wonder if the person next to him was a girl or a boy. He secretly looked at the person and saw that his/her hands were slender and.....pale. He assumed that she was a girl. Suddenly, a spider appeared out of nowhere. He killed it without hesitating and he thought that it caused his eyes to change color.
"I hate spiders," he muttered and the girl nodded. As soon as she did that, she left.
When I finally got out of that crowded restaurant, I went to look around the place. Something caught my eye. It was a silver crucifix that has a Gothic essence to it. I didn't think twice to buy it. I will give it to my sister as soon as I find her. It was still an hour early but I decided to go ahead to the ship. Once I got back, I sat on the same spot where I did earlier but the funny thing is; the person I met at the restaurant was sitting near it. He appeared to be reading but he looked up as soon as I sat down.
"It seems that we met again," said the stranger. Now, I'm positive that it's a guy since, sitting near him; I saw that he had a broad shoulder, nothing like a girl's.
"Yeah, we meet again." I answered. He seemed surprised somehow on hearing my voice.
"Can I know your name?" he asked.
"Emina," I decided not to tell my last name yet. "You?"
"Kurapica"
He held a hand out and I took it. He had a firm grip. We didn't talk since there was nothing to talk about. I took out my book and started to read as well. The sails went down and the ship started moving. But, it seems that there were still some people that didn't make it. There were two people chasing the ship. I was about to protest; to stop the ship but before I could say anything, the Captain said, "If they can't get on this ship, their not suitable to be hunters."
I sat back down and waited. After about five minutes, the two of them found a way to get on the ship.
