Athena's POV

I looked up from my number-plated cards in time to hear what sounds like somebody grabbing a small knife from one of the crew men and move around on the deck. I sighed at the irony, here I thought that on a ship I wouldn't have to worry about any fighting but I guess I should've listen to that old guy better and not leave when he in the middle of explaining to me why I shouldn't go on a boat now. I wonder what that kid would say when he hears what I had heard?

"Hey, kid. Maybe we should do something before it gets out of hand and got any 8s?" I asked him nicely and got the cold shoulder in return for a few moments. While I was waiting for his response the fight-I guess you could call it that- got more serious and I started to wonder if it's a good idea to let them continue with it when everyone's bored to dead.

"We shouldn't get involved unless we need to and here." He answered back and look everybody, he can talk! I'm just kidding you so don't worry and I took the 8 he had held close to my hand. Then the Captain finally put a stop to the fighting which disappointed the crowd but the way he stopped it both struck alarm and protectiveness of one's self in them and he also had the knife guy-I have no idea of what's his name- thrown overboard. I wonder how green outfit kid is doing with his fishing...

"Do you have a king?" The other kid's voice broke my train of thought that I have no idea where it was going and I felt the number plates on my cards until-found it.

"Here and I never caught your name, sir." That's right Athena, play the I-still-have-no-clue-who-you-are card and he'll tell you soon. Very soon. While Athena was off in her self-help pep talk Kurapika was deciding if she's a possible threat since a nagging feeling has been at his mind ever since they first bumped into each other.

'I can't get this feeling away no matter how annoying it gets but Athena seems like she's someone I knew before we even met and I can't shake that off. Maybe I should tell her my name then ask what's she's really doing here.' Kurapika decided on course of action that would seem less noticeable to his true thoughts and thankfully Athena refocused on Kurapika's answer when the kid with the fishing pole got a bite and from the sound of it the fish is a big one.

"My name is Kurapika and do you have any six?" The kid-no, Kurapika answered and I got this feeling that I know that name from somewhere and without my thought I asked a question that I didn't understand I had said it until it was too late.

"A Kuruta, right? I thought they all died but it's nice to know your name and maybe we can see each other again in the hunter exam." I really have no clue what a Kuruta was because I can't remember ever hearing the word before but it was familiar to me somehow or how I knew he was one of them by the sudden tense silence I got from asking. Oh great, I think I crossed a line I wasn't supposed to and got on his bad side. Fate just hates me doesn't it?

"Yes, I am Kuruta but how was you able to pick up on that?" Kurapika asked and I hope I just heard him wrong because I heard a hint of distrust in his voice and I am not on his good side at all right now. But then the Captain walked over to where we were sitting and said that Kurapika should take me with Tora down to the cabin that everyone was staying at and he did so but I hit some crates on the way over to the door with my elbow while Tora was free of getting hit by anything. Again why does fate hate me so?

Let me tell you something about being blinded by a piece of cloth because your father doesn't want the family name ruined because of your changing eye color, it sucks and if it weren't for Kurapika guiding me around the ship I would've been overboard by now. Tora seems to have gotten restless on this ship but there's nothing I can do for her and some of the crew have been getting into small fights with each other lately because the sea's playing with their minds from looking into it for too long or something a random person told me back on Whale Island and if it is true then I'm nicely fine. Weird, I'm thanking something I hate for the reason of something that might not be true and it seems like that Gon kid(He skipped(it sounded like it, I don't know I'm blinded for pete's sake) happily over to me one day while it was lunch break during the first part of the storm and it was so hard to not be his friend so thanks to his puppy eye sounding voice which was too hard to back away from) thinks that it's going to storm hard on us. Great, something I was totally looking forward to-not and Kurapika helped me over to the cabin part of the ship when they first saw the signs of a storm.

"Hey Kurapika, how long do you think everyone has to stay down here?" I asked him when I heard his footsteps come near. That and he has an earthly with a type of flower I can't remember scent and I only know that because he lets me sleep on his shoulder some times.

"It's pretty bad out there so maybe a day, give or a few hours, and I brought you some food." Kurapika replied while handing me some bread with a couple of lotus roots and milk. So what if I don't eat much, dad said not to anyways and I would get sick if I ate more on this ship. Which makes Kurapika worry a bit about me and that tall guy, Leo-something, because it seems that he's training to become a doctor. Good for him really.

"Thanks, Kurapika. Could you tell that Leo guy to stop staring at me? It's annoying." I can just feel the worry and disapproval from his stare and it both annoyed and creeped me out. But before Kurapika could go over to him, A set of heavy foot steps along with the scent of sea salt came over to were the cabin we're staying and I knew it was the Captain.

"You four come over here. I need to ask each one of ya a question." And so with Kurapika's help-I do remember telling him that I'm not really blind- I got over to where the Captain was standing in the doorway and Gon, Leo-something came over too since we're the only people up in the cabin.

"I would like to know your reasons as to why your entering the hunter exam." Was that really it? I thought it was something else but I'll answer anyways.

"I'm going there on my father's order because to him the Fujikage clan has become 'lost in history' or so he says. But we're already well known so I don't see the point at all and I have my own reasons too." I can just feel Leorio's-I remembered his name!- stare on me but there was most than his on me and again, I felt like I crossed another line but this time more confusing than the other one.

"Your father WHAT?"

Me: I hope that I'm not confusing anyone and thanks for the reviews everyone.

Kurapika: Now you have only four more to update.

Me: Yes I get it. I'm forgetful so get off my back. R&R!
