Welcome to the first chapter of Words and Watercolors! This is my first fanfiction on here so reviews would be amazing. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy!
You'll find out more about the main character as the story progresses, just so you know.
~~~ Chapter One ~~~
The fourth phase of the Hunter Exam. Forgetting the second phase, everything is quite easy. Although some people have approached me, I simply ignore them until they shut up and go away.
The person I am hunting is 198. One of the three brothers.
This is my kind of game. I am only the hunter. Whoever has my number will be killed, or anyone else who gets in my way.
I am one of the first ones to leave the area. I decide not to walk too far, as I need to keep an eye on my target, Imori.
He's following someone as well. 99, Killua. I have seen him around with the other young boy with the spiky hair. They are both probably my age.
This Killua is not an idiot. He is smart.
"This is so annoying. I know you're following me," he sneers. I freeze, even though I know he is talking about my target. My presence is concealed.
I do not know his skills. Even though I could care less about him, he could still kill me if he's stronger than me.
I quickly position myself in a tree as Killua traces Imori. I will have to take them both out, because if Killua kills Imori, he will most likely take his tag.
Killua's footsteps draw closer. They are very quiet and calm. This boy is very good.
I sense that the other two brothers are here as well. They come out after chatting with my target. Killua looks bored.
They all have not noticed me yet.
The conversation leading up to the kick, I did not listen to. I watched Killua fly to the ground, only to swiftly stand back up. No damage was taken.
But, he has my target's tag.
I get into a ready position. I need to be able to swipe it from him at any given moment.
The brothers take their little position. I watch Killua's every move. I only need the tag.
He scares the last two into giving him their tags. Not bad.
One of them is his.
Just as he's about to throw the other two, I jump down from the tree. They all take a step back, and I point to his hand clutching my prize.
"Another one!?" Imori yells.
Killua looks at me blankly. I point again. I am not wasting any words.
"I thought I noticed somebody else. One of these tags yours?" he asks. A smile creeps onto his lips.
I nod, and pray that he will not throw them still.
"'97 or '98?" he says, holding them up in each hand. The brothers have scrambled away, knowing they would never get them back.
I point to his left hand, staring at it.
"'98, huh? Well, shucks. I did all the dirty work for you, didn't I?" he smirks. He did not even give me a chance to do anything!
"I guess that's what a little lady like you wants. If it's the tag you really want, take it. I don't need it."
He throws it to me. I frown, because it was a little too easy.
"What's your name?" Killua asks. I shrug. In reality, I cannot remember.
"You don't have one? That's lame."
I raise my eyebrows.
"And you don't talk. That's no fun. Talk about boring."
He is starting to get on my nerves, so I turn around and start walking away. I have what I need, anyways.
I know he is following me, but I ignore it. He will eventually go away, right?
...Hopefully?
Thank you for reading the first chapter! I sort of struggled writing this, because describing what was going on in the main character's point of view without making it sound too repetitive was tough. The next chapter will hopefully be longer, and more interesting. Bear with me! And thank you again! :)
