HUNTER X HUNTER STORY:

Chapter One: FestivalXDisguiseXAbduction

--

BEEP* BEEP* BEEP*...

The girl woke to the sound of the alarm. Oh how she hated that alarm! She dashed out of bed to turn it off, the noisy beeping sound still echoing through her head. Rubbing her eyes she peered at the clock. It was 8:00am. Why had she gotten up this early again? She furrowed her eyebrows, trying to imagine what would possess her to wake up at such an abominable early hour of the morning.

She was not an early riser. In fact on most non school days, she would wake up in the afternoon, or at least she wouldn't move until after 10:00. Oh well, she could always go back to sleep. Ah sweet sleep... The girl snuggled back under the covers and closed her eyes, a goofy smile appearing on her face as she returned to the dream she had been having before about chocolate cake and icecrea...

BEEP!* BEEP!* BEEP!*...

Damn that stupid alarm!!! Her eyes snapped open and in a fit of rage she smashed the alarm clock on the ground, breaking it in half.

The incessant beeping continued...

The girl covered her ears and looked around wildly for the source of the noise. Oh would it ever end? She couldn't stand much more of this racket!

"Chiyo is that you?" a voice called from outside her bedroom door. The door opened and a tall woman with long brown ringlets appeared.

Chiyo, upon finding the source of the noise (another alarm clock hidden in her dresser) switched it off and sighed in relief. She was about to crawl (yet again) back into bed when her mother spoke.

"Didn't you want to wake up early today darling?" she asked gently.

Chiyo turned around and mumbled an incoherent groan.

"Whaa?" she yawned sleepily.

"I thought you were going to go to that Cosplay Festival with your friends today. Didn't you want to wake up early to get ready?"

Chiyo's eyes widened as she remembered. Her friends had invited her to a cosplay festival and they had been planning to dress up as characters from the anime story Hunter X Hunter. Of course, she had been chosen to be Gon because she was the shortest (a fault she hated and was constantly trying to change)...and also because one of her friends, Alice had already made her the outfit and accessories for Gon's costume.

Alice was the top student at her school for textiles and design. She was fantastic at making costumes and the Gon costume she had made for Chiyo was no exception. When Chiyo had looked at it last night and attempted to compare it to the anime costume she hadn't been able to see the difference. It had looked exactly like the real thing!

Chiyo smiled in anticipation. She couldn't wait to try it on. But first she needed to make herself look like Gon. A simple task really, but it would still take a while to do it flawlessly.

"Thanks for waking me up mum" she called behind her as she rushed to the bathroom where she had already prepared the necessary cosmetics and wig that she had stayed up making for the majority of the last night....

...oh, so that's why she was so tired....

Chiyo picked up one of the cosmetics and started on her makeup. She had always been good at disguising herself. Whenever she had changed herself with the help of makeup no one had recognised her. She guessed that she was good at it perhaps because she was so talented in art. If she could draw on paper, why not her face too?

Looking at some pictures of Gon as a guide she looked in the mirror. Yes this was coming along nicely. A couple of hours later she finished and looked proudly in the mirror at her success. She had copied the pictures perfectly. There were only two things missing. Looking around she spotted the contact lenses she had been looking for and carefully put them in her eyes. Then she put her hair up in a hairnet and placed the wig that she had made on her head, adjusting it in places to make it look natural.

She paused once again to admire her handiwork and then bounced off to her room to put on her costume. Then grabbing her fishing rod (that Alice had also made), she bounded downstairs to the dining table, grinning childishly up at her astonished parents.

"So what do ya think?" she smiled proudly holding up a picture of Gon for them to compare to.

"Is...that you Chiyo?"her father stammered. Chiyo smiled. You'd think they would have gotten used to it by now. This wasn't the first time she had disguised herself and the character wasn't even real!

"Yes it's me" she laughed. Then shaking the picture she was holding up she looked at her parents questioningly. "So do I look like him?"

Her parents stared at the image.

"Wow I'm impressed. You never cease to amaze me" her father said proudly. Chiyo beamed back excitedly.

She was about to reply that it was her best work yet when the doorbell rang.

"Just in time" her mother said as she went to answer it.

"Hello Alice dear. Chiyo's in the dining room. I'll go get her."

"Alice!" Chiyo ran out of the room and down the hallway to the front door. She stopped and looked at Alice in awe. Alice was dressed up as Kurapicka. Everyone had decided this would be the best choice for her as she was so pretty and Kurapicka looked like a girl anyway. Looking at Alice's figure Chiyo couldn't help but fell a little jealous. Alice was tall, thin and absolutely gorgeous looking with thick blond curls that fell to her waist, not to mention her model like figure. She had long and elegant legs and a delicate frame. Her face was narrow and pale with pink cheeks and a flawless complexion.

Her costume was fantastic although she looked a lot more feminine than the real Kurapicka. She'd probably be surrounded by love struck guys again today Chiyo thought gloomily and a little enviously. Guys had always naturally flocked around Alice. Who wouldn't with a stunning face and personality like hers?

Alice's jaw dropped as she inspected Chiyo from every angle.

"Wow you sure went all out" she said in surprise. "If I didn't know better I'd swear that Gon had actually come to life!"

Chiyo smiled sheepishly. All these compliments were starting to go to her head.

"Come on lets go" she cheered and half dragged Alice over to the car where the rest of her friends were waiting.

Twenty minutes later they arrived at the festival and got out of the car. Chiyo looked around excitedly. This was her first time at one of these places. She couldn't wait to see what it was like! She ran up to the entrance and bought the tickets for everyone and then rushed inside.

Wow! She looked around in awe. Everyone was dressed up as different characters from so many different anime. Some of the people were returning her awestruck gaze.

"Wow there are some really good costumes this year" she heard one of them say.

Chiyo grinned. "What now?" she asked cheerily to Alice.

Alice was about to reply when a crowd of guys with cameras surrounded her and Chiyo, asking to take their (or mainly Alice's) pictures and thus separating them from the rest of their friends.

"We'll see you later at the Karaoke Competition "one of them waved and they walked away, leaving the two girls to face the crowd.

About a thousand pictures later, Alice and Chiyo had managed to escape and had run off to what appeared to be a giant Twister game. Chiyo beamed in excitement and ran towards it, beckoning Alice to join her. She loved Twister, mainly because she always won thanks to the eleven years of gymnastics she'd taken.

"Left hand on yellow" the director announced.

Chiyo flipped into a one handed handstand on the yellow circle.

"Show-off" she heard Alice mutter. Chiyo smiled. The person in charge looked surprised but then he grinned. This game would be interesting.

As each turn passed the director gave Chiyo harder moves to achieve. Chiyo pulled them all off, a silly grin on her face, causing a crowd of spectators to form around the twister board.

Across from the display, a group of people looking very like the Genei Ryodan were walking past.

"It's so crowded here" Shizuku complained, looking at the large group of people around the twister board. "Why are we here again?"

Shalnark looked at Shizuku questioningly.

"Don't you remember? We're looking for a Nen user that can invalidate nen."

Shizuku still looked puzzled. "But why are we here? Seems like a silly place to me..."

"Never mind Shizuku" Franklin interjected. Once Shizuku had forgotten something, she never remembered it!

Nobunaga glanced inquisitively at the crowd that Shizuku had been looking at and froze in recognition.

"That's Gon!" he exclaimed pointing at Chiyo who had long since forgotten about the twister game and was now spinning around on her hands in a helicopter like fashion while laughing in the middle of the board.

Nobunaga started to move towards her when a hand pressed down on his shoulder.

"Later" Feitan said warningly and continued walking in the direction of the Karaoke area.

Nobunaga cast a longing glance at Gon (Chiyo) and then reluctantly followed the rest of the troupe. He could always get him later.

Chiyo was doing another stunt when Alice grabbed her causing Chiyo to lose balance and collapse.

"Okay, that's enough for one day" Alice said. "Lets go find the others before you attract too much attention."

Chiyo looked down at the floor, a little guilty. She'd been having so much fun that she had completely forgotten about her surroundings.

"Sorry Alice" she said quietly.

Alice grinned and patted Chiyo's head.

"That's alright shorty."

Chiyo looked up at Alice and glared.

"Race you there" Alice smiled and ran towards the Karaoke area. "Last one's a rotten egg!"

"Who are you calling rotten!" Chiyo exclaimed as she ran after her friend. "And I'm not short! I'm growing. See? I've grown a centimetre since last year!"

Alice laughed in response irritating Chiyo even more.

"Just wait! I'll show you. I'm not a midget!" she yelled as she ran. She lowered her head and increased her speed, running at the fastest pace she possibly could without tripping over herself. She couldn't really see anyone now. Oh well. Hopefully she wouldn't bump into..

CRASH!

Chiyo fell to the floor.

"Ah sorry" she quickly apologised. Clutching one hand to her head which absolutely killed, she looked up to see who she had run into.

It was a fairly tall guy with long black hair that had been tied into a ponytail which stuck upright. He reminded her of a Japanese warrior. She instantly recognised that he was also dressed as a character from Hunter X Hunter. And it was a really good disguise too! Looking closer Chiyo tried to remember what his name was. She could remember that he was from that group of thieves...ryodan something....darn...What was his name again?

The man slowly looked down at her in indifference, almost as if he hadn't felt her head collide with his chest earlier. Then his eyes widened, almost as if he recognised her.

"Gon, so you've finally decided to come join us eh?" he smiled excitedly.

Chiyo looked at him in confusion. Did she know this guy? But then why would he have called her Gon? And what did he mean finally join them? Could he mean karaoke? Did he want her to join their group?

"You want me to join your group?" she asked uncertainly. Nobunaga nodded. Chiyo wasn't sure if she wanted to join them. She was quite sure by now that she didn't know them. Jumping up, she decided that she was going to decline and look for Alice when a guy dressed as Shalnark called for Nobunaga to hurry up. Nobunaga pushed her in front of him, causing her to stumble.

"Stick with me" he smiled. His face suddenly turned serious. Chiyo shuddered. This guy was a little scary.

The group walked towards what appeared to be a staff entrance. They were blocked by two bodyguards.

"Excuse me but you're not allowed past this place. It's for security members and staff only" one of the guards spoke. He had barely finished the sentence when Feitan had chopped off his head with a sword he had gotten out of his umbrella. The other guard was similarly dealt with before he could react.

Chiyo watched in horror as their blood spattered on the floor just inches from her feet. These guys were murderers!! And she was with them! She would have to find a way to escape from these killers at once!

Nobunaga patted Chiyo's shoulder. "I'm so glad you decided to join us" he smiled, as if the two people hadn't just been brutally murdered right in front of them by his companions.

Chiyo stared at him in shock, her face frozen. What had she gotten herself into?

Chiyo looked around her in panic, searching for an escape route. Nobunaga must have sensed what she was thinking because he had suddenly gripped his hand on her shoulder and tightened it in warning.

"No use escaping now" he affirmed.

The group continued on past the dead security and up the stairs through the door that they had been guarding. They passed through a couple of doors and down an elevator until they came to a barred metal door.

"WARNING! TOP SECRET RESEARCH FACULTY. USE OF DEADLY FORCE AUTHORIZED. TRESPASSERS WILL BE ELIMINATED!" Chiyo read quietly. Underneath the words was a picture of a skull.

Chiyo gulped nervously. What was this? Some type of military base? She really didn't want to be here. She was too young to die!

The member closest to the door which just happened to be Franklin kicked the door, sending it flying into the room it had been safeguarding. Chiyo's eyes widened so much that it got to the point where they were almost bulging out of her sockets. These people weren't human!! They couldn't be. No one had the power to punch through a metal door, let alone send it flying without at least damaging their hands!

The sooner she got out of here the better. That is...if she could get out of here. Nobunaga still had his hand clenched around her shoulder which was starting to hurt quite a bit. If he didn't let go now it would bruise later on. Not that it would matter. She would probably be dead by then. As it was she had no idea why she was even alive now.

Nobunaga nudged her into the room and Chiyo quickly glanced around. She had been right. It was a military database! Why a military database was in the middle of a cosplay festival she would never know but then she guessed secret places were probably hidden in the most unusual and unimaginable places. And she would never have imagined it to be here!

There were a couple of computers and men in military uniforms crowded around a computer opposite. They had turned around at the commotion of the door and were now staring at them, dumbstruck. They never had a chance.

Within a few seconds they had all collapsed on the floor, their necks twisted at odd and disturbing angles that even a contortionist couldn't pull off.

Franklin stepped on the metal door he had kicked down and Chiyo winced as she heard a snapping sound. There must have been people guarding the door from the inside earlier. Looking at all the dead corpses it was hard to contain the rising bile forming in her throat.

Shalnark walked over to one of the computers and turned it on. Then he started typing in a range of combinations and codes and began to hack into the computer. His fingers were a blur across the keyboard. It looked like he had done this a lot before.

Meanwhile Shizuku had gotten out a vacuum with...teeth!? and had asked it to clean the room. Chiyo watched in both horror and amazement as the vacuum cleaner sucked in all the dead corpses and the metal door. How did they all fit in there? How could she even get the vacuum cleaner to do that?

It was almost as if they actually were the real Genei Ryodan. But they couldn't be! They were fiction! Fictional characters couldn't actually come to life...right? But the evidence in front of her was indisputable.

They had to be the Genei Ryodan! The only other explanation she could come up with was that they were aliens disguised as humans... dressed in cosplay...and let's face it, that idea was even more ridiculous.

Chiyo was still adjusting to the idea of them being real when she realised something. The only reason she was here and alive right now was because Nobunaga thought she was Gon who he wanted to join the Spider Organisation.

But she wasn't Gon and as soon as they realised that, she would be toast. She would have to find a way to escape! After all, sooner or later it was inevitable that they would notice. Makeup could only last so many days and she didn't want to be around when they found out her true identity.

She was distracted from her thoughts by a call of triumph as Shalnark found what he was searching for.

"Here he is" Shalnark exclaimed excitedly as he pointed to a picture of a man on the website. "This is the guy we've been looking for." He clicked on the picture of the man and read the information on the screen.

"Looks like he's in that Greed Island Game they had at the auction in Yorknew City."

"Seriously?" Franklin asked. "Good thing we stole it."

Shalnark printed the information out and then erased everything on the computer.

"Time to head back to the base" Nobunaga sighed as they walked out of the room and back through the stairways. A car was waiting for them outside.

Chiyo's hopes of escape dimmed as she climbed into the car along with Nobunaga. She'd swear he was sitting next to the door just so that she couldn't jump out of it later. Little did she know that it was actually because the last time he had sat in the middle of the car, he had been trapped by the Injiyuu (a group of assassins hired by the godfathers) and had ever since sat closer to the door.

Chiyo sighed inwardly. How was she ever going to get out of this situation? The car ride was taking so long! She wanted to get out of here! It was creepy being with these people! And what's worse was that she was becoming extremely tired!

Chiyo's eyes began to droop. She was so sleepy. She'd spent so much of last night making that wig. But she couldn't fall asleep now! What if she was discovered? And besides, who could fall asleep amidst a bunch of super powerful villains that could kill you any minute?

"No" Chiyo resolved. She couldn't fall asleep! It wasn't possible! She tried to stifle a yawn. She was so drowsy! No......not......possible....Her eyes closed and she slumped down, falling asleep with her head on Nobunaga's lap. Nobunaga looked down in surprise and laughed, earning strange and somewhat concerned looks from the others.

Nobunaga smiled. Gon was always constantly continuing to crack him up. Such a funny kid. The Spider group would become so much more interesting once he joined them willingly.
