I absolutely love HxH, it's one of my fav animes EVER! Hisoka is a sexy mofo (an evil mofo too) and the characters are so cool in their own way :3

So I decided to write a fanfic! Anyway, I really liked the idea of a gender bender, but this time it has a twist :D not all characters I write are gender benders, don't worry (Nao, Akemi, etc)

I came from a 'normal world', I guess you can say.

We had doo-dads and gadgets aplenty (Little Mermaid), we had technology to blast us to the moon and back, and I could instantly talk to anyone over the internet. We had cars that would take us somewhere in 20 minutes that would cost us 2 hours to walk, and we could be in a different country in less than a day, instead of months by ship.

Yet, of all these advances in our society, I still couldn't go anywhere, or do anything with my life.

Now, you may be thinking 'what the heck is a 11 year old girl, wondering about her life for? She's young, she has the chance to make decisions, blah blah blah.

My family was poor in the country of Japan. Not poor poor, where we live in boxes and beg for tips, but we don't go out to eat, shop for clothes, have television or whatever, and didn't have health insurance.

It was my dad, 10 year old brother, and I. I was currently a gymnast at the local gymnastics gym, and the coaches one day believed I would be in the Olympics. They say that 'no one can do this, or that, as you can. You're so young! Japan can have a great kid one day for their gymnastics! The female Michael Phelps of Japan Gymnastics!' But I could care less about that.

I attend school on scholarship because of this gym, which is a sports school. My brother was to get in for American football next year, and he was excited to attend. His name was Iwao, which is ironic, because he was the scrawniest kid I know, but also the fastest.

In my free time outside of gymnastics, I read manga and watch anime. My absolute favorite is the Hunter x Hunter series, I practically memorized the story, watched both the 1999 and 2011 series, and fangirled over the characters. Who couldn't love Gon's bubbly personality?

Anyway, back to why I was acting all emo, saying I couldn't do anything with my life.

To put it simply, Iwao is dead. I know what you're thinking, introducing a character in the first chapter that's already dead? How depressing!

Well, deaths suck, but Iwao would've been pissed if I mourned him longer than a week. His attention was like a goldfish, always moving on after 30 seconds. He would want me to move on, which I did. Besides, he isn't dead...

I remember when we were younger, when I was 5 and my brother 3, my mom would read us bed time stories. One of my favorite stories, is when she told us about a magical place, where anything can happen. Where monsters existed, and the brave rose above to fight them. They were heroes. I wanted to be a hero.

The next day after the story, she was gone. Only leaving behind a pocket watch for my brother, and a necklace for me. Of course, I was only 5 and didn't understand why my mommy left, and my dad said she never truly belonged to him, but he belonged to her.

After my mom left, my dad was depressed for a while, but got over it to take care of us. Now, my dad gave up after Iwao died a few months ago.

I sigh, why was I even thinking about these depressing things? It's my birthday in 12 minutes, 12:12 AM on 12/12/04.

I sit cross legged in my cramped bedroom, and I hear police sirens in a distance. A knocking is heard at my door.

"Come in dad," I say, and my dad comes into my room.

I look nothing like my dad, except for my long torso and long legs, which is unusual for a gymnast. I guess I inherited some of his brown hair... He has brown eyes and hair, with stubble lining his face. His nose is slightly crooked, most likely from being knocked into the nose.

"Darling, I must tell you something," he says, and I nod. "Remember, all those years ago, when I said your mom never belonged to me, but I belonged to her?"

"You make it sound like you're a dog," I say, and he laughs slightly. "I was talking about my heart, it belonged to her, but only some of hers belonged to me. She wasn't... of this world, I guess you can say. I don't have much time to explain, so I wrote it in a book for you, since you love to read," he says, passing me a backpack.

"Quickly, there's not much time, change into some clothes you'd wear for working out, or... an adventure," he says, turning his back to me.

I quickly put on running shorts, with a baggy work out tee-shirt. I throw my long, dull brown hair into a pony tail. It fades to a light pink at the ends, but it was all natural. I remember my mom had all pink hair, so I just told everyone it was highlights. I strap on tennis shoes, and put on ace bandages with a sports bra on top, to restrict bouncing and to also fit into the tight t-shirt. Like I said, we couldn't afford shopping for clothes, so I couldn't break clothes that were too small for me around the chest, so I wrapped myself. Besides, I was smaller than two lemons, so it doesn't matter too much anyways.

"I'm done," I say, and my father turns around. "Happy birthday, this will be the last one we celebrate for a while," he says, and I hug him. "What are you talking about dad?"

"Your mom was a hero, from the last story she told you," my dad begins, "She had to go back to complete a mission, that she thought she finished long ago, before she met me. She said she'd come back once she completed her mission. She also wanted her children to see the magical world she came from, and gave me each 2 magical items to give to you on your 12th birthday."

He passes me a sapphire amulet, which is one of the prettiest colors ever in my eyes. It seems to reflect 1,000 different shades of blue, and it's surrounded by a silver circle, with five curvy lines to make it look like a star. I put it on, and he gives me a pocket watch that's golden, and I put that in my backpack.

"Your brother was buried and burned with his gifts," my dad says quietly. "The combination of both of your gifts would act as a portal to take you to the world. I can't go, because I don't have the blood of that universe, but your brother and you are half breeds, technically speaking, so you can both go. Oh! And there's something from me," he says, pulling out a purple and blue friendship bracelet, with a star charm on it.

"I technically got the charm from your mom, but I made the bracelet," he says, and I hug him. "I love it," I whisper, backing away and putting it on my left hand.

"I put food, water, and other necessities in there... Apparently... uh, girls in that universe don't have... monthly cycles," he says, face turning red. I quickly nod, "No need to exert yourself too much Dad, but what will you do when I'm gone?"

"I need money, so once you leave I'm going to join the military, they provide bunking and food," he says, looking at the floor.

"Hey, don't be ashamed, you need money to survive, and once I'm gone it'll be easier to provide," I say, and he nods.

"3 minutes left before the clock strikes midnight," he says, and hugs me. "Here, this is one of your mom's scarves, it's apparently from the world she's from."

I take the scarf from him, it's a dark blue, with white and silver through it that seem to glow. It looks like the night sky...

I break away from the hug, and put the pocket watch in my backpack. In the backpack is food, water, female necessities, clothing, a first aid kit, and a guide book to the history of the world there.

"What kind of hero was my mom?" I ask, and my dad smiles.

"She was called a Hunter, and she was one of the elite. Spirea Woodruff, that's her name there. 3-star rank she was, and that's the best, well, that's what she told me," My dad says, thinking. I put the backpack around my shoulders, and tighten my scarf tighter around my neck.

"It's 12:11, I'll miss you dad, and I love you," I say, giving him a hug as tears run down my eyes. Even if he wasn't the best provider, I still loved him.

"I love you too, my little star," he says, tears running down his face. My name, Hoshi, translates to star, and my dad loved calling me little star. Now that I think about it, my necklace was shaped like a star...

"I promise dad, I'll find mom and help her complete her mission, and we'll come back," I say, closing my eyes tightly as tears leak out. My golden star necklace started glowing, and before I knew it my dad's arms were no longer wrapped tightly around me in a loving embrace, and I felt wind in my hair. I open my eyes, and I seem to jet through space, yet I can somehow breath...

I burst through a cluster of stars, and looked behind me. I seem to be outside the milky way! I continue to move faster, into another galaxy, and landed on a big planet, similar to Earth in colors, but the landscapes looked totally different.

I fell out of the sky quickly, and than softly landed in an alley way in a street. It looked similar to the Hunter x Hunter anime, but I brushed it off... But my mom was called a Hunter by my dad...

Gah! Did I somehow land up in the universe that I fangirled over completely?! This is totally insane, yet cool! And since I'm a half-blood, like Percy Jackson, I kinda belong here!

I walk out of the alley way, and see an older woman with Goofy-like teeth, surrounded by people in white robes. This seems like the 2011 anime, darn, the sushi scene from 1999 was cool, but at least Hisoka is a hottie. I step out, and I turn around and see a tall, lanky cranky looking business-suited man, a girly looking guy in blue night gowns, and a short boy with giant spiky hair with green leprachaun clothes...

Oh wait, that's the main party.

I sneak back into the alleyway, as they walk past without noticing me. I should stay out of the way for now, to not mess with the canon, but than again...

I take the scarf, and wrap it around my face and head to act as a mask, and I step out.

"Hello!" I say, walking towards them. "Mind if I join your party? I want to go to the Hunter test too," I say, gee, I sounded kinda suspicious.

"Sure!" Gon says, and Leorio shakes his head. "We can only see your grey eyes," Leorio says, "why can't we see your face?"

AGH! Why can't a suspicious person in a mask join a party?

"Because I have a lot of acne on my face right now, and it's really gross looking, I don't want to be embarrassed," I say, putting my head in my hands.

"Ahhh, young boy, puberty is shameful, but it turns you big, handsome, smart and strong, like me!" Leorio says, striking a pose.

"You can join our party if you'd like," Kurapika says, "I'm Kurapika, and this goon is Leorio."
"I AM NOT A GOON!" Leorio says, turning red and stomping his feet.

"Please don't talk in caps, it's giving me a head ache," Kurapika says, and Leorio crosses his arms.

"I'm, I'm," I say, trying to think of a name. The names here were way different than Japanese names, and I usually don't hear them outside the anime, except for Hisoka.

"I'm Eridanus," I say, thinking of a star I studied, "But you guys can call me Eri,'"

"Welcome Eri!" Gon says, "How old are you?"

"I just turned 12," I say, "Like, 5 minutes ago."

"Happy Birthday Eri-kun!" Gon says, and I feel my eyebrow twitch under my mask. Well, I guess if I'm 12 years old and a 'guy', my voice is still kinda high... and I'm wearing a sports bra and ace bandages... Damn it! They think I'm a guy!

We continued walking, until we stood infront of the old woman.

"You boys are heading for the tree on the hill, right?" The old woman said, and we nod.

"To reach the tree, you boys must pass through this town, and me. Answer the riddle correctly, and you can go. You have five seconds to answer. Give the wrong answer and you are disqualified."

"I happen to be a quiz EXPERT!" Leorio says, flexing, and than his eyes widen. "One question, five seconds?! AGHHHH!"

"Leorio, we talked earlier about talking in caps," Kurapika mutters. Seeing these guys up close, I can't believe this isn't a dream!
"I'm not good at quizzes," Gon admits, scratching his head.

"I'll go first," a voice says behind us, and we turn and see a big nosed man. "Oh great," I mutter, "it's the drag squidward."

"Who are you?" Leorio asked, "He followed us from the port, I let him follow us because he wasn't bothering anyone," Gon says, and Leorio sweat drops. "This is a competition Gon..." Leorio sighs.

"I just happened to overhear your conversation, it's not a crime," Squidward guy says, and Kurapika nods. "If we let him go first, we'll know what kind of question to expect."

"I'm ready," Squidward guy says, and the old woman nods.

"Now. here is your question a group of evil villains have kidnapped your mother and your lover. You can only save one of them to save, who do you chose? The one you do not chose is saved, while the other dies." "Hey what kind of quiz is this?!"Leorio asks outraged.

"Mother," Squidward says, "you can replace your lover, but not your lover."

"Correct, you may pass," the old woman says, and I roll my eyes. Bye bye squidward.

"Seriously looks like the trick is telling the old lady whatever she wants to hear," Squidward says, running behind the old lady to where the fake path lay.

"We're just supposed to say what we think she wants to hear what's up with that?!" Leorio says, and I shrug and zone out, until we start going up the correct path. They figured it out on their own, and I shouldn't have interfered with the canon.

We walk up the dark pathway for a while, and end up at the cabin.

"Yo! I gotta take a leak!" Said Leorio, and Kurapika nods. "Hello?" I ask, knocking on the cabin door.

No reply.

Leorio opens the door, and it slowly creaks open. "We're coming in."

We gasp, well, I fake gasp, as we see a tattered scene before us. The giant Pikachu thing stood before us, with glowing red eyes and holding a purple haired woman, while a man was laying on the floor.

"It's a magical beast!" I say, and my party nods, "The transforming magical beast, the Kiriko. They can take human form," Kurapika confirms.

"Release the woman!" I say, "Or else, I'll, uh, get you!" I say, stepping forward. "They're really intelligent too," Kurapika says, and I roll my eyes.

The beast jumps through the window. "I'll attend to the man, everyone else go!" Leorio says, and we all nod.

We jump through the window, and follow the beast. I look closely, and see one jumping closely after the other, so there's actually two. And, one is slightly fatter.

Gon attempts to capture the Kiriko, but it just retaliates. "Catch me if you can!" it says, running off.

"Wow! They can speak!" Gon says, and I nod.

"Since they can become humans, they're capable of human speech too," I say simply, before increasing my speed.

"I'll try to cut them off!" I say, running ahead of them. "You round them from the back side and we attack at once!"

"Ok!" They say at the same time, and I speed up even more, closing in on one of the Kiriko.

"I got you now!" I say, jumping at it. I grab each arm with a hand, and I flip over and tackle the Kiriko, which is bigger than me.

"Nice try, but try harder, I am much bigger than you!" It says, before standing up and leaping upwards.

"Wahhhhhh!" I say, as he jumps extremely high, "Woah, you're fur is totally soft, what conditioner do you use?" I mutter, clutching on for dear life with one hand, and wrapping my legs as much as I can around the back. "Grab my hand, purple haired girl!" I say, and she obliges.

Gon suddenly sneak attacks from above, and wacks the Kiriko with his fishing rod, making him drop the purple haired girl, pulling me down too. I quickly pull her into bridal style position, and once I hit the ground I tuck and roll. I gently set her down, and adjust my scarf.

"Are you okay?" Kurapika says, holding her hand and inspecting for injuries, when he notices her single ladies tattoo. "Please take me to my husband!" She cries, and he looks her in the eye. "Those tattoos..." He says, and Leorio wanders up.

"Your husband is fine, his wounds weren't that deep," He says, and the girl nods. I lean up against a tree. "Liar," I say, looking at the fake, knock off Oreo.

"What?" He asks, and I look him in the eye. "Leorio wouldn't leave a patient alone in a cabin after being injured, he would look after them," I say, "his ego would be seriously damaged if his patient got sick under his care while he was gone, too."

Kurapika wacks the fake Leorio with his sweet nunchuks. "Hehehe," Fake Leorio says, clutching his face. "My disguise is perfect, though. How did you know?" He directs his question toward Kurapika.

"Easy, Leorio wouldn't have left, and if he did he would be talking in caps with excitement and braggin," Kurapika says. "Where's the other Kirito?" I ask, and the fake Leorio morphs into a Kirito.

"The other? It's just me," he says, and I shake my head. "There's 4 of you, the husband and wife, and the one with Gon and you," I explain simply. "Kirito can morph into humans, and Kirito are typically kind creatures who bear no grudges against humans. You wouldn't willy nilly kidnap a woman and injure a man just because," I say, and the Kirito laughs.

"You would do well as a Hunter," it says, and stars sparkled in my eyes. "Really? Thanks!" I say, sticking my hand out. The Kirito grins a toothy smile, and takes it's paw and shakes my hand. Kurapika just looks dumbstruck.

"Well, let's go back to the cabin than," says the purple haired girl, standing up. "Nice catch there," she says, looking at me and smiling. "Thanks!"

We walked back to the cabin, and met Gon there. The two in Kirito form were laughing about how Gon and I could tell them apart, and how it's been years since anyone could tell them apart.

"Kurapika, you can go on because you recognized the tattoos of a unwed woman, a vague hint, to determine we weren't spouses. Leorio, you dressed my injuries more efficiently than doctors, and assured me that my wife was fine. Gon, you had superhuman observation to determine we were two different people. And..."

"Eri," I say.

"Eri, you could tell that we were all Kirito, and took immediate call to action, and successfully rescued me," says the purple haired girl.

"You all pass!" The all say, and we cheer. We fist bump each other, smiling. "We will now take you to the exam site," they say, and we grab the ankles of the Kirito.

"Is this an OK position for my hands to be in? I don't want your hands to be uncomfortable," I say, and the Kirito I'm on barks a laugh. "No, don't worry Eri."

"Isn't it great that we all passed?" Gon asks, "Yep!" I say, and I relax slightly. Better relax before I have to run that damn marathon with Satotz for the first trial...

We flew for a bit, and arrived at the city. Some lady gave my group free food because she thought Gon was cute, and it tasted really good.

We arrived at the food shack, and we said the code word to get us into the backroom elevator, "Thank you, Kirito-san," I say, turning towards the man who guided us there. "It was no problem! If you retake the test next year, I'd be happy to guide you all again," he says, winking to us before leaving, closing the door.

"I can't wait for that steak dinner!" Gon says, sitting at the table, and I sit next to him. "Gon, that was the code word to get us in," I say, and he pouts.

Leorio and Kurapika start arguing about Hunters, and I slam my hands onto the table, getting their attention.

"Stop bickering, we all do things for our own goals and values, and every gem sparkles differently in the light viewed from," I say, "We are going to be taking an extremely hard test together, and I'd love to walk out as Hunters with all of you because you're all my friends, and I want to walk out as friends, hand-in-hand, not as bickering allies!"

I sigh, "Sorry," Leorio says, looking down. "Sorry," Kurapika says, looking away. "You boys better get along now," I say, and they nod. God, I feel like a nagging mom.

The elevator shudders to a stop, and we exit to the underground tunnel, and I repress a squeal of joy, everything and everyone look so cool. Even the secondary characters who die at first! All eyes turn towards us.

"Everyone's a master in their own way," Leorio mutters, throwing his suitcase over his shoulder, attempting to look cool.
"Excuse me," Gon says, but everyone turns away.

"Gon, don't worry, everyone is probably nervous for the test," I say, patting his shoulder. "I am sure we'll make friendships that last lifetimes too!" I say, and he smiles.

"Yeah, Eri, you're right!" He says, and smiles. AWWW! Gon is such a cutie.

A little green jelly bean guy walks up to us. "Here is your numbers," he says, passing me number 405 and 404 to Gon.

"Thank you!" I say, smiling, but I just realize that they can't see me smile because of the mask... Oh well, it's the effort that counts.

"I haven't seen you guys around before," Tonpa says, jumping down from the rafters. I really wish I could just ignore him, but that'd affect the storyline.

"You must be an exam veteran," I say, and he nods. "Yup," he says, "I'm Tonpa, and this is my 35th time."

"That's not something to brag about," Leorio nods, and Kurapika nods. I'm glad they made up...

Tonpa is blabbering, but I'm looking as someone knocks into Hisoka. That man's arms disintegrate into red clovers, and it's creepy but pretty.

"Oh look, his arms have turned into flowers. No smoke and mirrors here," Hisoka says, raising his arms. Gon looks really scared. "Take care," Hisoka calls out, "you should apologize if you bump into someone."

"He is dangerous, I recommend avoiding him," Tonpa says, and my party nods. But I don't, I want to see the magic show myself. I don't really have fears anymore...

"Why don't we celebrate this new friendship with a drink?" Tonpa says, passing us all drinks, and I raise my hand. "Tonpa-sama, I have a question," I say innocently.

"Yes?" He asks, and I look him in the eyes.

"Is the reason you're a veteran is that you're a rookie crusher?"

Tonpa's mouth opens slightly, and his eyes widen. "W-why do you say that?" He asks, and I hold up the drink.

"Laxatives aren't things you typically give to new friends, are they?" I ask, cracking open the drink, and moving my scarf down to expose my mouth. I swig back the orange juice, gargle it, and spit it at the feet of Tonpa.

"T-that's strange," He says, and I move my scarf up over my mouth again.

"Orange juice is known to be somewhat of a natural laxative, and mixed together with an actual laxative it's a toilet fest," I say, "it doesn't help if you're being offered it to by a rookie crusher." A few years ago, my brother was really constipated, so we gave him lots of prune juice, and when we ran out of that we gave him orange juice to help.

"I-I gotta go," Tonpa says, running away. "Bye bye Tonpa!" I say, waving.

"Wow..." Kurapika says, and Leorio nods. "Thank you Eri," Gon says, "that would be bad to have to go to the bathroom before the test!"

I just nod, and I adjust my scarf again to make sure it fits perfectly. I look at the corner, and see Tonpa now talking to the fat, toad looking nerd.

The stone door rises, and Satotz steps out. He really has no mouth...

"Come on," I whisper to Gon, pulling him up front so we can see better and get a faster start. I adjust my backpack straps, and clasp the front together.

"The entry period for the Hunter exams has ended," Satotz says, "The exam will now begin, please follow me."

He turns around and starts walking, and we all follow. Gon starts talking about his life on Whale Island, and I listen.

Satotz starts running, and we all jog behind. About 40 kilometers in, I see the fat toad run ahead, thinking he neared the end. I get ready to snatch his computer...

I hear wheels nearing us, and I see the one and only Killua gliding on his skateboard. "How old are you?" He asks, "Twelve," Gon and I answer.

"Why are you dressed as a ghost," Killua says, and I sweatdrop. "I have lots of acne on my face right now," I say, and he nods.

"I'm Killua," he says, "I'm Gon!" "Eri," I say, with a nod.

"I guess I'll run," Killua says, jumping off his skateboard and picks it up, before he continues to run.

"We are all the same age," Killua says, and Gon smiles."Cool!" He says, and I nod.

I look at the nerd, and I notice he's slowing down and his glasses fell off, so his vision is blurry. I take his computer, and he doesn't notice.

"Why did you take his computer, Eri-kun?" Gon says, looking at me.

"Watch him, he's going to fall in a moment, and his computer would have fallen out of his grasp and broken," I say, and we hear a thud as the fat nerd falls.

"Wow, can you see the future Eri? Tell mine!" Killua says, and I think for a moment.

"Killua, you are... going to become a giant lobster and go to Mars!" I say, and they laugh.

"What's Mars," Gon and Killua say, and I sweat drop. "I'm just good at predictions," I say, and Killua shrugs.

Just than, Leorio takes off his shirt, and bounds ahead of us. "Leorio, there's children here, no need to strip!" I say, and I hear a few chuckles around us.

"I...don't care...how stupid I look, I just want to... become a Hunter... and pass this exam!" He says, running dramatically. Some follow suit, doing the Naruto run or running dramatically.

We see the stair case, and I sigh in relief. I did stairs all the time to build up leg muscles, this will be a walk in the park. They're also long and flat, so I can easily hop up them at two at a time.

"Race you to the top?" Killua says, and we nod. We all go up as fast as possible, and I get a lead and am soon bounding up the stairs, side by side with Satotz.

"Hello Satotz-sama, I'm Eri," I say, waving at him. He doesn't look at me, and continues looking forward.

"Hello Eri, do you have any questions for me?" He asks, and I think for a moment. "Do you have a mouth?" I ask, and it's his turn to think now.

"I believe my mouth is very small and close to my mustache, so it looks like my mustache is my mouth," he says.

"But what happens if you shave your mustache? What does your mouth look like?"

"..." Satotz seemed deep in thought, turns out ever since he was a baby he had a mustache, he's never attempted to shave it or anything.

"I...don't know," he says, thinking about it.

I look behind me, and I see Killua and Gon. I lower my scarf and stick my tongue out at them, "Guess who's gonna buy me dinner?" I say, taunting them playfully.

I see Kurapika and Leorio not that far behind them, talking in an almost normal conversation, except it seems like Leorio is talking in all caps again. This is the scene where they make up, right?

I turn back around, and stay in pace with Satotz, and I see the exit. I stay in pace, and get there first.

Killua and Gon quickly close behind, and I laugh.

"You guys owe me dinner," I say, sitting on the grass, drinking from my waterbottle.

"Kugoi! Can I look at your backpack?" Gon says, and I nod as they look in my backpack.

"Eri," Killua says.

"Yeah?"

"What are these?" He says, holding up a bunch of pads in his fist.

"B-baka! Put those back! I say, snatching them from his hand.

"Are those secret pouches of money?" Asks Gon, eyes aglow.

"No, they are special stickers that are very expensive, and you guys can't have any," I say, taking my bag back.

"Than what about these?" Gon asks, holding up a tampon out of the plastic cover.

"Woah! Is that candy?" Killua says, and my entire face turns red. "Stoppppp!" I say, snatching the female products back.

"No more touching my bag!" I say, and I stuff the products back into my bag.

Leorio and Kurapika come up, and the metal door behind them closes.

"Welcome to the Numere Wastelands," Satotz says, "These wetland creatures will use every trick in the book to fool their prey."

"Stay close to me, unless you wish to be deceived," Satotz continues, turning around.

"Don't let them fool you!" A gruff voice says, and everyone turns around and sees a blonde, scruffy looking man.

"He's lying! He's lying to you all! He's an impostor!" He continues, and everyone gasps. I look at Satotz, and he has this look on his face that screams boredom and 'really'

"I'm the real examiner, and this..." he drags a weird looking ape/Satotz around the corner, "is a man faced ape."

"They have long and weak limbs, and trick humans into the wetlands!"

People start murmuring, but I start laughing, and everyone's eyes turn towards me.

"Y-you doubt our examiner?" I say, wiping my eye as a tear comes out from laughing. "Look at the body the man dragged, than look at Satotz. Satotz doesn't have fanged teeth and a large tongue that protrudes from his mouth, and he certainly isn't a hairy beast with a tail. Also, he said 'long and weak' limbs, do you think Satotz would run about 80 km without breaking a sweat?"

"What do you know? You're just a kid," someone from the crowd says, and people start agreeing. I roll my eyes, and Hisoka does his weird card thing, and than everyone believes him. Only because he's a scary adult clown who can kill a person with 'is this your card' question...

I receive pitiful glances from my friends, but I ignore them. If people doubted me as just a kid, what if they found out I was a kid AND a girl? No one would take me seriously, and people would be sexist... I decided.

I'll go through the Hunter exam as a boy.

Thanks for reading my first chapter! Don't forget to favorite and leave a review :D
