Chapter 1

An x Unexpected x Encounter

" You have brought shame to this family. You are just a coward. Foolish, stubborn, ignorant. No parent will ever love a child like you."

I slowly opened my eyes trying to adjust my vision. The smell of body odor came in contact with my nose. Jesus, why does it have to smell like body odor in this hell hole. Even with this mask on I can still smell the green aura of crap coming out their armpits. After taking a few steps with a disgusted look in my eyes, people already started to look at me suspiciously. I stared backed hoping to get a reaction but they just looked away continuing on their conversations. A green dude in a suit appeared in front of me and handed me a number.

"Hello sir, please take this number." He said politely smiling handing me the number 201. "Be sure to wear this on your chest at all times, be careful not to lose it." Sir? Oh right. I eyed down at my attire. I was wearing a black worn-out sleeveless shirt under my long sleeved jacket that goes down to my knees ( because they're pretty comfy ), with skinny jeans, my regular old combat boots. Is it because of my hair? I had very short dark hair. I guess short enough for people to mistake me as a guy. Maybe it's the mask. It was just a piece of cloth covering the bottom portion of my face. Well, being from a well known family while having the same looking face will raise some questions. Knowing this was going to take long until other hunters came, I leaned my back against the wall and put the tag number where it is visible. I closed my eyes. The sudden thought of my past came to my head.

My mother died while giving birth to me. For those past 9 months, my mother never knew a monster was growing inside of her that will lead her to her death. I was the last and only female child of the Zenaku family. My father only wanted sons to pass on the family name. And he hated me the most. One for being weak. And two for killing the woman he loved .He didn't want the Zenuka family to be seemed as weak. I was to be kept secret from the public and whoever disobeyed that rule will be killed. Especially to this family named The Zoldycks. Man, who knew how long my father has been rivals with the man of that household, Silva was it? All I know about the Zoldyck family was that they're a family of assassins. Well shit. Zenaku vs. Zoldyck, who wouldn't want to see the most powerful families in the hunter world fight against each other? After a few years of being the rebellious person I am which means sneaking out of the family household every night, my father finally decided 'Hey why not put this piece of crap in a place where she won't escape, we have no use for her, all she ever does is dumb shit right?' So there I was, in an underground hell hole. Pretty comfy, but being in a place where only the servants can talk to you and no one else, felt like hell. One of the people who were sent down to deliver my food was found dead the next day next to an open secured password locked door. Next to the corpse was his heart drenched in fresh blood.

"Excuse me?" I heard a boy's voice near me interrupting my thoughts. I opened eyes to see a boy with spiky hair and matching green clothes about my height in front of me. "The exam is about to start-"

"GON HURRY UP!" Gon?. . . . A man in a suit carrying a brief case yelled at him. I looked to see people walking already. "LETS GO!" he yelled once more and sprinted towards a blonde guy- maybe female?

The boy sweatdropped and ran towards them. I quickly followed behind trying to see whats going on, only to catch up with the man in the suit and blondie. "Gomen!" Gon apologized rubbing the back of his head.

"Who is this guy?" the man in the suit asked pointing at me. My eyes widen. shit shit shit what do I say?! My real name- or-

"Isn't rude asking for a persons name without politely greeting them?" The blondie said obviously trying to piss off the man in suit.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?! RESPECT YOUR ELDERS!" He yelled angrily

Suddenly the speed started to increase. "Eh? What's happening-"

"The people in the front started running." Gon said as we all picked up the speed.

"He's picked up the pace." The blond said. In the front I saw a man with a mustache leading the group speaking.

"I neglected to introduce myself. I'm Satotz Phase One examiner. I shall lead you to the exam's Second Phase."

"What about phase one?" Someone from the crowd asked.

"It has already commenced." Satotz said. Shocked looks came from people's faces next to us.

" I see how it is, so its an endurance test." The blond said looking around.

" Hey! I didn't get your name?" Gon asked smiling cheekily at me. What should I say. . . . .

"It's-"

"YOU SHOULD SHOW THE HUNTER EXAM SOME RESPECT!" We both turned our heads to see the guy in the suitcase yell at a kid with white hair and pale skin. Albino maybe? "USING A SKATEBOARD IS CHEATING! THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE AN ENDURANCE TEST!"

"You're wrong!" Gon yelled out unexpectedly. "All he said was to follow him!"

"WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?!" The man in the suit yelled. The Albino kid on the skateboard then went up to Gon.

"Hey, how old are you?"

"I'm 12 years old-" Gon said. Then the Albino kid then looked at me. I nodded in agreement.

"Hmmm….." The kid then jumped off his skateboard. "I'm Killua." He said eyeing the both of us.

"Gon~!" Gon said cheerfully. They both then looked at me at the same time. Maybe I can just fake my identity- I look like a guy in appearance right? I guess it will be pretty easy to fool them. Maybe . . . . just maybe . . . I can maybe start a new life , new story, new adventure, and forget about the past-

Maybe . . . .

I gulped." My name is . . . . Shiro."
