Warnings: Slight crossover, don't need to read Taizai to understand. Violence and killing, because assassins ad knights and sins.
Chapter Two:
Eventually the gang got off that horrible boat with the well wishes of the captain and found ourselves looking at the map near the docks for where we were meant to go. It was Gon who had the key piece of information though; it seemed that the Captain favoured him for some reason. This clue was that the Captain said to head for the giant tree in the distance. Leo-san was very insistent upon us going toward Zaban City like the paper told them.
Kai was leaning more toward the idea of going to the tree, considering the fact that it was most likely not the obvious thing that was needed to be done here as it was a hunter exam.
Kurapika of course, ended up getting into another argument with Leo-san, and Kai almost wanted to laugh. The two together were pretty hilarious, and the former queen's head bounced between the two back and forth which each retort.
It ended with Kurapika turning toward Kai and asking for her opinion.
Kura-chan was officially viewed as an asshole now.
"It's a hunter exam; the less obvious option is probably the one that we should take. So I'm going to go up to the tree."
With that, Kai hopped onto her floating pillow and leaned back as Kura-chan continued to argue with Leo-san with the new information of their comrade's thoughts.
Gon wanted to make it perfectly clear what his decision was as well.
"I'm going to the tree," the boy in green inputted. "The captain must've had a reason to suggest that."
Kura-chan eventually decided to go with us, especially upon seeing the floating pillow Kai was seated on, curiosity having a big piece of the picture.
Leo-san went to the opposite direction.
However it wasn't long though before Leo-san joined again, spouting things like the group needed him and how they would miss him had he gone. Somehow, Kai doubted that was the reason that idiot had came back, and her expression most likely reflected that.
Leo-san was talking far too loud, and Kai couldn't hear much around them because of it. However that didn't mean that she couldn't feel something wrong in the air.
Very soon, judging by the town that they had just reached.
Gon quickly pointed out that there were several hidden people in the area, and they walked out. It was very creepy; in fact Kai would have preferred that they just attack her than what was currently going on. A creepy old woman was leading the pack, murmuring things that Leo-san murmured back in confusion, before the woman couldn't hold back anymore and exclaimed, "EXCITING TWO-CHOICE QUIZ!"
Definitely would have preferred attacking than this freak show.
"You are want to be hunters heading toward the tree right? To reach that tree, you must pass through this town. I will administer a quiz; you have five seconds to answer. If you give the wrong answer, you will be disqualified, if you don't answer in time, you will be disqualified. Any questions young ones?"
"So if one of them gets it wrong, I fail too?" Leo-san asked pointedly at Kai and Gon especially, but not without shooting a look over toward Kura-chan
"That would never happen; it's more likely that you will cause us to fail…" Kura-chan said, mostly under his breath. That didn't stop Kai from hearing it though, and she snickered.
"Oi oi hurry it up!" A man who'd been following the group for quite some time exclaimed as he walked forward and Kai watched him through slotted eyes; however she didn't open her mouth. "Or else I'll answer the question first."
"Who are you?" Leo-san asked, proving his lack of observational skills.
"He followed us here, all the way from the port," Gon explained, and impressed Kai.
The former fairy queen had known Gon was exceptional since the boat, but he kept on proving her expectations beyond that of which Kai could predict. He was quick on his feet, had sharp senses, and even with his inexperience she couldn't find much fault in her fellow twelve year old.
Not that she hadn't known the man was there herself, but he was so low on her radar it was barely a blip on her senses. Not because he was so good, but because he was simply that unskilled.
The man only shrugged his indifference. "Sorry, kid. I happened to overhear your conversation."
"What will you do?" the granny asked.
Eventually the group came to the agreement that we should let the other man go first, so that the group had at least some idea of what we were getting into with this quiz.
"Here is your question… Evil villains have captured your mother and your lover. You can only save one? Option one is your mother, and option two is your lover. Which will you save?"
The man's response was far too cruel to get a passing in this situation. So Kai found herself gapping when the man was put through. There must have been something Kai had missed there; because there was no way that it was an okay answer…
All the while that Kai was thinking, Leo-san was ranting and raving, and attempting to leave. This of course only resulted in the woman saying that if he attempted such, he would find himself unable to continue.
"Here is your question… Your people are in danger, and your family is in danger, you can only save one group, and which do you choose?"
Kai was practically shaking, the questing digging up things and none of them good. She wanted to do something, to rip something apart, to forget that question ever happened. Yet it did, and now that the thought was in her mind she couldn't take it out.
Faced with that situation she had chosen her family.
Her people faced the consequences, and then they took it out on their queen.
Kai gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, the weapon/pillow seemed to sense something was wrong and wrapped more firmly around its owner. That didn't make Kai feel better though. In her situation the only answer she could give was the one she had, her family came first, even before her duty.
When in reality if she was good enough she should have saved them both.
Upon coming out of her thoughts, Kai realized that Kura-chan was explaining that the true answer was to say nothing, which was good because that was what Kai had done. Of course, it wasn't because she had any idea what the answer was, just that she was lost in her own thoughts. It kind of made her feel like she didn't deserve the pass for it.
Gon once again came to surprise her when he laid on the ground spread out, causing the group to look at him in confusion.
"It's no use. I can't think of an answer."
"Ehhh…?! You were still trying to find an answer?" Leo-san laughed, Kura-chan surprisingly joining him. "You can stop thinking now, you know."
"Why?" Asked Gon as he blinked his wide, innocent eyes.
"The quiz is over," Kura-chan explained to the youngest of the group.
"I know but…" Gon bowed his head in thought. "What if I run into a situation like that and I can only save one group… What should I do then? It wouldn't be right to choose just one… But one day as a hunter I might have to make a choice exactly like that…"
Previously, Kai had thought that Gon had seen the world through rose coloured glasses. Maybe that was right, but that didn't mean he didn't have some level of understanding, and he'd clearly just shown that.
The air was thick with the question, and Kai could do anything to break it, so she did. Touching the back of her head softly she gave a small and sheepish smile, "Honestly, there's not much point in thinking about it now is there? It's not exactly something you can know until you are actually in that situation."
The former queen thought she did a pretty good job of hiding the fact she had been there before.
Gon nodded along enthusiastically though, seemingly happy with the change of subject and the lighter atmosphere.
They were on to the next challenge, and Kai had no doubt she was up for it. Especially with the people she seemed to have found here. It was slow, but she could feel herself starting to trust them.
Kai could only hope it wouldn't end up like the last time she did such a thing
