I wanted to upload this because I hate odd numbers (1 chapter) so I just had to make it 2 chapters.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy because Hunter x Hunter is a personal favorite of mine!

00000000000000000000 (Ep. 5-6)
Water splashed at my feet with each step into the march, and I mentally cheered for my water-proof black boots. I didn't really like all the moisture on this island, the fogs cold and wet child hit me rather rudely. I pouted to myself, somewhat tempted to switch into my flame being form. Glancing at Killua and Gon, I decided I could deal with it.
As we went deeper into the swamp, the fog thickened. The clown man ran carelessly behind us, a creepy knowing smile on his face. My eyebrow twitched at the killing intent behind me, Killua also noticing before he convinced Gon to move up.
"Okay, we don't want to lose sight of the examiner." Gon said completely unaware of the murderous intent.
"I'm more concerned with increasing the distance between us and Hisoka." Killua said. Hisoka? Oh, the clown dude… What a minute, how did Killua know his name? I shrugged, who cares. "Staying too close to him is dangerous."
"He seemed nice to me." I chimed in cheerfully, Killua only giving me a bland look that said 'shut up'.
"I can smell it in the air, just like Zakara can practically eat it like a glutton." He said, smirking at me. I pouted, so I have a fast metabolism and get hungry (MUCH) more than normal humans, who cares? I mentally sobbed.
"Smell?" Gon sniffed the air in a puppy-like way, making me squeal inwardly at his cuteness. "Hmmm, I don't think he smells…"
"He smells pretty good~!" I chimed in, only to get elbowed by Killua. Looking to the side Gon called out for Leorio and Kurapika, telling them to move up. Killua make a surprised sound and looked at Gon with a look of exasperation – a look I often got at times.
"Oh! Can't you feel the tension surrounding us?" Killua asked. Leorio called Gon an idiot, still running in a ridiculous way. I couldn't help but giggle each time I looked at him.
"What?"Gon whined like a scolded puppy.
"Let's go, Gon." Killua urged me forward as Gon followed a step behind. The fogs thick coat was making it difficult to navigate, thus causing Killua to stick to me. Remembering the time I had gotten lost in the hotel multiple times, I sweetdroped.
I blinked when people literally vanished around me, until I could only see Killua and Gon, even with my good eyesight. Clicking my tongue, I sent my white flames to my eyes, my sight and other senses improving drastically and my iris glowing ghostly. Strawberries appeared in the mist to the far side, making Kurapika and Leorio (And some other non-important applicants) stop in confusion. What the heck?
These long necked, dinosaur-like huge beasts with turtle shells stomped around, catching some of the applicants with their long reach. I watched the blood fly in the air as the beasts ate a few applicants. I sung a tune in awe, wow, never would've expected that.
I could faintly see in the distance as Kurapika and Leorio were back-to-back watching the magnificent creatures. On the other side, a few applicants fell prey to the claymore mushrooms- AKA Bitch mushrooms. Killua's hand went to my lower back and tugged me slightly closer to him as a precaution. Hypnosis Butterflies flew around us, the powder drifting off their wings putting some to sleep.
Some applicants got confused and heard the voice of Satotz, which I immediately sensed was false, as the Ruse Raven repeated what Satotz had said before. My eye twitched in annoyance, it was an animal I was familiar with, that damn bird.
"I can hear people screaming all around us." Gon said to us.
"Just stay on your guard. Zakara, don't get distracted by anything shiny or cute." Killua said, gripping me lightly on my forearm. I pouted at his comment, huffing a puff of ghostly fire from my mouth.
"I wonder if Kurapika and Leorio are okay…" Gon muttered.
"They're fine, they are just battling with some Nuggin Luggin Tortoise's." I shrugged simply. I had killed a few before. Killua and Gon looked at me strangely. "What? When you're training or sleeping I get bored. The books and internet are very useful." Gon grinned at Killua, who promptly hit me upside the head.
We stopped running in confusion, what did we just step on? The ground gave under us and a huge frog swallowed us up. My nose wrinkled in disgust and felt Killua pull at my arm from the darkness of the moving frog's stomach. EWWWW!
The frog paused in mid-step and threw us up. I fell on top of Killua, groaning and pretending to die while clutching my throat before going limp. Killua raised an eyebrow at my limp form draped over his lap when Gon talked rather unfazed by being puked out of a frog.
"Guess he didn't like the taste of us." Gon said sheepishly, scratching the back of his head and almost sounding apologetic to the frog. Killua held out Tonpa's POISONED juice casually.
"It was from this." He explained shortly.
"That was from Tonpa-san!" Gon cried out in surprise. "Guess he saved us." Making me snort, as I felt the very big to resist urge to take a bath.
"Well I could've escaped. Zakara probably would have fried it from the inside out." Killua dropped the can of juice into the frog's saliva that coated the grass.
"I'm still worried about Kurapika and Leorio…" Gon told us his side thought. Killua stood and helped me up, brushing off some of the slime from my arms with a smirk.
"Forget about them. Let's get a move on, come Zakara." He put his hands in his pockets, and let me hook my arm to his. "We can still catch up to the examiner." Killua and I jogged forward.
I paused a split-second when I sensed Gon's footsteps falter and stop. Killua hadn't noticed so with a small glance back at Gon, who was looking off into the distance with a determined look, I smiled and stayed with Killua without a word.
Minutes later we broke through threw into the clearing where we could see the other applicants following after the examiner. Killua smiled, "Cool, we've caught up to the main group Gon." Killua said, turning around to see nothing. "Huh? Where'd he go?"
"He went after his friends, he was too worried." I informed him, touching his arm lightly when he looked angry at me for not tell him. "Sorry, we probably wouldn't have been able to change his mind anyways." Killua relaxed at my touch, still slightly annoyed but let his fingers curl around mine.
A sound to our far right caught my attention immediately, and I laid my eyes on the cutest thing ever. Breaking free of Killua, who was startled with my sudden movement that he couldn't catch me in time for when I ran into the forest and vanished through the fog after the cute little animal.
"Zakara!" I heard Killua call out for me, but I was too consumed with trying to find the cute animal. A huge, lion-like beast jumped out at me from the bushes, but I barely glanced at it. My eyes still searched for the cute animal as my hand whipped out my ronin blade and cut through the beast without resistance.
I heard a whimper and my eyes zoned into the animal I had been searching for. It looked like a crossbreed of a kitten and owl, its black fur tainted with crimson of a claw marking on its cheek. It puffed out its white chest in a failed attempted of being intimidating. Cooing, I crouched down and scooped the hybrid into my hands.
"Hmm, you found a pet." The clown Hisoka purred beside me, startling the poor hybrid. I didn't even blink, having sensed him moments before and smiled at him.
"It's a cute little hybrid. I did tell Killua I wanted a pet." Well, sorta. He's going to kill me when I get back, I mentally whined. The kitten/owl huddled to my chest in fear of the murderous intent leaking from Hisoka, who appeared existed from whatever he had done previously. "Did you have fun, clown?" I asked, cradling the injured hybrid in my arms.
Hisoka hummed in amusement, his eyes narrow as he studied me, "You are not as naiveté as I first thought." I shrugged innocently, straightening out of my crouch, Hisoka copying a second later. Hisoka grabbed my chin and turned it side-to-side, examining me.
"I figure you know of my people?" I questioned bluntly, swatting his hand from my chin lazily. I yawned without much care and Hisoka looked on with much amusement.
"You should be over 100 years." He commented vaguely. I mimicked his vague attitude.
"Really, I thought it was 143 years." I let my ghost flames hover over the wounded hybrid, stopping the blood from overflowing. Hisoka's eyes lit up in recognition, and he scared the hybrid half to death when he laid his hands in the ghost fire.
"I didn't think the ghosts had white fire." I pouted, did he really not know the clan name?
"Red, blue, purple, whatever. Did you not read about us in the caverns of my people?" It had not been brought to my attention that he couldn't read my people's writing.
"Hunter's are still trying to decipher the writing, would you mind giving me a head start?" He asked fairly cheerfully, which was slightly creepy but funny in a messed up way.
"I am from the Yorunohi clan, it would be spoken differently in my language, but that is how it is to be pronounced in common tongue." I said, and then cursed myself when I realized I was speaking in formal words. "Sorry, slipping back into my culture for a minute." I cheered, grabbing the tree next to me and slamming my head against it.
Hisoka merely raised an eyebrow, at my odd actions and the burn marks on the tree where I hit. "Why is it not accessible anymore?"
"Yeah, cause I'm going to have a party on my island." I snorted. "Why should I let you people into my territory?" I asked, the swords on my back lighting up in white flames before vanishing into thin air, along with my brass knuckle knives.
I knew I was only causing the clown more questions and making him more interested as I spoke on, and felt the urge to smack my head against the tree for my big mouth. On the bright side, it gives him a reason to not kill me, not like he could or that I would let him.
"We should catch up with the examiner." I sung happily, watching him sling an unconscious Leorio over his shoulder from where he had hid him behind a tree. The hybrid in my arms cooed in confusion, its winged arms spread over my chest and its small claws latching onto my shirt. I jumped in place impatiently and jogged ahead of him towards the applicants and examiner, where I could sense them and Killua.
OoO
"huh?" I heard Killua say and smiled when I saw him, Hisoka still next to me. "Gon isn't here… and where is that idiot? After I told her not to leave me…" He sighed in annoyance, making me anime cry from my spot.
"Killua~" I whined, making the hybrid latch onto my back as I crawled to Killua, who watched me with wide eyes, having seeing Hisoka next to me. He ignored me, so I hugged his leg and whimpered, looking up at him with teary eyes. Killua grumbled under his breath and met my eyes.
"You idiot, where did you disappear off to? And what the hell is that thing on your back?" Killua said, picking me up and held me to him like I was a baby koala. My ear twitched when I heard Hisoka chuckle at the scene. The hybrid looked over my shoulder at Killua with big copper eyes.
"This is the cute animal I wanted, thanks for letting me get a pet Killua!" I cheered, nuzzling my nose in his neck. Killua snorted and grabbed my face,
"When did I say you could keep it?" Killua winced when her midnight blue eyes became pools, tearing up as she pouted, depression lines hanging over her. "F-fine…geeze, stop looking at me like that."
"Yeah!" I cheered, hugging him around the neck, my hybrid copping me and her featured wings wrapped around Killua's face. I laughed at his expression and detached the hybrid from his face, only for it to cling to my shoulder.
Killua watched her play with the bird, holding her up like he had done so many times in the past few weeks they had known each other. Dang, he hopped she wouldn't realize the power in her kicked-puppy face.
Killua turned when he noticed Gon and Kurapika finally reach the finish point, where they met up with Leorio. "Gon." Killua greeted, walking to the three with an arm under my legs to support my weight.
"Killua, Zakara!" Gon welcomed cheerfully, then noticed that our position. "What are you doing?" Killua had the modesty to blush, though Zakara didn't understand what was wrong.
"Nothing… Zakara just…yeah." Killua scratched the back of his head. The hybrid peered at Gon and cooed, gaining the shot-attention spanned kid's attention.
"What's on your back, Zakara?" Gon jogged over and scratched the hybrid under it chin, who cooed in appreciation.
"It appears to be a crossbreed of a kitten and owl, how is this possible?" Kurapika questioned himself, looking to the sky as if it would print words and give him an answer.
"I thought it looked cute, so Killua let me keep it as a pet!" The other sweetdroped at this, of course she just randomly decided to adopt a pet from a dangerous swamp, they could only guess what it could do.
"I haven't named her yet." She continued on without noticing their expressions (Mainly Kurapika and Leorio's).
"Anyways…" Killua drawled out, shifting her to a more comfortable position. "I cant believe you actually got here… I thought you were done for."
Gon simply smiled, "I just tracked Leorio's cologne." What is he, a dog?
"Cologne?" Killua repeated. "That was how?" He leaned toward Gon, making me do so in the process. "You definitely are weird, not as much as Zakara, but still." He ignored my yell of 'HEY!'
"Excellent work, everyone." Satotz interrupted, everyone's attention turning to him. "Phase two of the exam will occur here, in the Biska Forest Park. So, I shall take my leave. Best luck to all of you."
"Bye bye Satotz! I love you in a non-weird way!" I yelled after him as he walked back into the swamp, waving to me as he did so.
"That was weird." They deadpanned around me, making me sulk against Killua. Gates of the castle-like walls slid open, drawing back everyone's attention. A mansion and many stations were revealed beyond the gates as a woman's voice called out.
"Will all the applicants who passed the first exam please enter?"
Yes, because people who didn't pass will defiantly sneak over. SARCASM, my favorite language in common tongue. (She doesn't know it's not another language)
The woman sat on a throne with a huge- I mean HUGE- guy sitting behind her, making everyone look terribly small compared to him. "Welcome. I'm Menchi, the second phase examiner." I blinked at the blue haired woman, wow, she had big boobs.
Killua knocked the side of my head, guessing my thoughts. "And I'm Buhara, the other examiner." There was silence for a moment until I broke it.
"You're huge! Like a house!" I waved my arm wildly in the air, hearing Killua smack his forehead. The huge man looked down at me-like really down, must've strained his eyes to see such a small person like me.
"Thanks!" Buhara said rather cheerfully, "I hope you can cook well!" I blinked, pausing in my waving, what did he mean? A loud grumbling of Buhara's stomach filled the air and I chuckled loudly.
"You must be hungry!" Menchi said to Buhara cheerfully.
"I'm starving…" Buhara complained.
"There you have it, phase too will involve…" Menchi paused dramatically, "…Cooking!" She pointed at us cheerfully, probably enjoying the looks of surprise and confusion running through the crowd. While some applicants complained, I climbed off Killua-who had kept me warm even though it already was- and jumped in place excitedly.
Cooking and I actually agreed. Really, cooking was a skill for people in my clan who had good control over the heat and amount of flames they used, so not as many of us could cook like you'd think.
"That's quite right." Menchi continued, amused. "Your challenge for the second phase is to produce a dish that will satisfy our palate." A few more complaint went around the crowd of applicants. "That's because we are… Gourmet Hunters!" She announced proudly. The crowd of applicants all began laughing, though I didn't get it, getting to eat food around the world must be freaking awesome.
Menchi looked rather angry at the laughter, but I caught her eye and shrugged, she smiled slightly. One of the applicants closed his eyes in contempt and asked the gourmet hunters,
"So, Gourmet Hunters, what are we supposed to make?" He seemed to taunt them. I snickered behind my hand, I could tell these people were strong, even if they just cooked and collected ingredients from all over the world.
"Buhara." Menchi commanded, slightly irritable.
"The required ingredient is pork." I grinned in triumph, my specialty always was in meat. Killua and the others looked at me weirdly, as I had trouble staying in one spot. I heard them explain, though I was waiting to be set free so I could cook.
Buhara hit his tummy and a echoing of a drum seemed to come out, as he announced "Begins now!" Everyone, including myself instantly bolted for the forest in search of the pigs. A few minutes in, I was up a tree relaxing, waiting for someone else to spot them. I snickered when I noticed people looking behind trees and bushes of course they'd be there.
"Catch a pig and cook it!" Leorio announced, as they walked towards my tree spot over the hill. "This is way easier than the first phase." I snickered and let myself hang from the branch, startling Leorio into screaming.
"It will probably be harder than you think, this is the Hunter exam you know. Besides, I have a feeling your guys are going to screw up." Leorio tried to hit me but I swung out of his reach.
"I hope it will be that easy." Kurapika agreed with me, making Leorio gape at his 'betrayal' and that he took sides with a 'fire witch.'
Gon, of course, wasn't paying us any attention and casually jumped onto the hillside, sliding down with ease. Killua pulled me from the tree and jumped down, yelling 'yaho!' the way down, dragging me with him. Killua crashed into Gon, and I flipped over Killua's shoulder onto his lap with my legs over Gon's shoulder as Leorio and Kurapika crashed into Killua, who grunted from the weight.
"What was that about, Gon!" Killua yelled in annoyance, and I maneuvered myself out of the uncomfortable position and onto Killua's lap.
"Found them." Gon said simply, and we all turned to see the GAINT pigs munching on animal bones. My hybrid clung to my stomach, cooed in fear and huddled closer to me for protection.
"Uh… they're chewing on bones…" Leorio said hesitantly.
"No, it's chocolate in the shape of an animal's carcass." I said back sarcastically, smiling innocently when he glared at me.
"Don't tell me..." Kurapika said as a pig cracked a bone and looked up at us on the hill side. "they're carnivorous?" Yeah, we're screwed.
The pig reared back and loudly snorted through its steaming HUGE snout. Leorio screamed and we all ran away from the stampede, some applicant getting hit by their huge snouts and being thrown into the air or trampled.
"These pigs are crazy!" Leorio concluded.
"NEVER DISS NATURE!" I chimed in loudly, pumping my fist into the air.
"Stop saying that!"
OoO
Gon jumped at a stampeding pig only to get knocked out of the way. I 'meeped' and vanished into a swirl of white flames when four tried to attack me. Some apples fell onto the pig's forehead, giving out its weak point and Gon wacked the pig with his fishing rod. I reformed to my physical body and cheered happily, flipping out of the way of the four pigs snouts and spin kicking two, roundhouse kicking another and simply punching the daylights out of the last.
I pouted, "Maybe this is a bit much… eh, who cares." Once everyone got the weak point, everyone stampeded back to the mansion, I was the only one holding four at once, to where I lined up on my station. I put over one grill, and watched the others do so, those idiots not using the right temperature to cook it.
Closing my eyes, I put my hand on the side of the pig, ignoring the other applicant's noise. A light flood of ghostly flames moved from my fingertips to the pig, spreading over its huge body in a wave. The flames were hard to see, so to a few contestants, I looked like an idiot. The flames soaked through the tough meat of the pig and grilled it from the inside out perfectly, the temperature steady and changing only if needed.
Once I had done the same for the other three, I flipped the knife into the air and caught it, cutting the pig and separating the good parts from the bad. I took out the fat parts and decorated the sliced pieces of pig onto the place, sprinkling herbs and spices over top. I didn't hear Killua when he called for me, being too focused on the simple task of cooking. Once I finished all four, I kept two plates for myself.
After hearing a bunch of fails from Menchi complaining about the other applicant's food, I waited for the line to go down. I noticed Menchi's eye twitching badly, probably mentally yelling at everyone. "Hey! Cant anyone out there satisfy me?" She screamed at everyone. Kurapika suggested that they decorate it, which Gon and Leorio agreed to.
To my amusement, all Leorio and Gon did was add a flag and flowers to their pig, which got a lot of chuckles out of me. Kurapika did well at designing it, but it wasn't perfectly cooked. I was last to go up, the applicant looking all angry and whispering that she'd just fail me too. I set my dishes in front of the two, Menchi peering down at it surprised.
"Now this looks like legitimate food, but let's sees how it tastes." I gave a dish to both, looking to the side contently. I could faintly hear Leorio talking about how I was going to fail.
Menchi and Buhara took a bite and froze, I could hear Leorio laughing in the background at my apparent 'failure'. Menchi swallowed and suddenly grabbed my hand, hugging me to her chest were I was promptly suffocated by her boobs. I squirmed in her hold, white fire tracing over my figure.
"The meat was perfectly cooked, with such well mixed herbs dashed with spices that create a new flavor! You even decorated it to a beautiful degree!" Well, that sure did stop Leorio's laughter. "You pass! Girl, you should defiantly become a Gourmet Hunter!" Buhara nodded in agreement and inhaled the rest of his dish and sighed in contentment.
I pulled away and caught my breath. "My specialty is mainly meat, and… thank you?" I scratched my cheek in a confused manner. Menchi squealed and ruffled my hair, "You're so cute!" I felt my face warm in embarrassment and fixed my hair, pouting at being called cute.
"That was so much food," Buhara said patting his drum of a belly. "I'm stuffed!" He sounded like a child at Christmas. Menchi agreed, having all but stuffed her mouth with my dish.
Menchi pretty much forced me to sit on her lap as she declared, "Only this cutie here-"
"My name is Zakara!" I cried in horror, my face flushing red. Menchi ignored me.
"-passes and you all fail! We're finished here!" Menchi cheered happily.
"It's over?" One applicant said, "Already?" another. "Why did only she pass? Is it because she's a girl?" another. "What the hell?" another.
I sighed and gave up, letting Menchi suffocate me with her big boobs. A crash sounded, and I rolled my eyes with a huff of white fire. A big man had crushed one of the poor stations, what has it ever done to you? You're the one who abused it!
The big guy and Menchi argued for a while, and I zoned out, noticing Killua gesture for me to come to him. I squirmed in Menchi's hold to show him I'm a bit tied up right now. I whined, not wanting to go into my flame being form, so I just settled myself in her arms.
Menchi suddenly grabbed the ninja-guy, who was too close for comfort to me, but Menchi yelled at him for dissing cooking. I grinned at the ninja cheekily, who growled and tried to punch me, though it was easily blocked by Menchi, who was apparently taking it upon herself to baby me.
The applicants started to riot against Menchi, and the big man turned red as she insulted him. The big guy charged at Menchi and…. Was promptly swatted like a bug into the sky by our one and only Buhara. I cheered and patted him on the belly as congratulations.
"Buhara, don't interfere." Menchi said, her arm circling around me like a possessive mother.
"Well... if I hadn't intervened, you would have killed him, right?" Buhara told her, leaning back.
"Probably." Menchi replied casually, taking two huge knifes out from nowhere. She walked down the stairs, me following behind with crocodile tears. "Let's make this clear… we frequently venture into the dens of ferocious beasts, searching for ingredients." Menchi said, holding her knives out to the side.
"Every hunter knows some form of martial arts." She threw the knives into the air, spinning them and catching them at an alarming rate. "You lack the focus and willingness to experiment. That alone disqualifies you from becoming a Hunter!" He pointed her knife out to the crowd of applicants. Silence went on for a moment until a voice came out from a microphone above.
"That said, it would be excessive to fail all but one applicant." An aircraft floating above the mansion, leaving me jaw-slacked, I have never seen one before. The symbol of the Hunter Association was printed on the side of the blimp. A figure jumped out of the window and crashed into the ground, causing rumble and dirt to fly everywhere.
An old man in a men-robe and sandals appeared, Menchi stepping forward to him. "The Chairmen of the Selection Committee." She introduced, "He's in charge of the Hunter Exam…Chairmen Netero."
"Well I work behind the scenes." The chairman said happily. "I only take action when there's an issue, like now." He looked at Menchi. "So, Menchi-kun…"
"Hai." She said respectively.
"You failed all but one applicant because you disapproved of their reluctance-" Was that old guy staring at her boobs? "- to try new things?" Menchi explained things to him, the two went on until I zoned out, not really caring at the moment.
"Then this new challenge will be… boiled eggs!" My hybrid perked up at the thought, cooing in surprise when Netero started at it from its perch on my shoulder.
OoO
I hummed as I looked into the foggy darkness of the valley, where webs were strung throughout. "A Spider Eagles Web." Menchi informed us as a gust of wind was blown into our faces. I giggled and Killua clutched my arm to keep me from falling when I leaned forward to let my bangs be lifted into the air. Eggs were hung from the webs in sacks, I whistled lightly, looks like fun.
"W-wait, you don't mean-" Crap I wasn't listening again, gotta fix my attention span…nah… "You d-don't mean…" The big guy stuttered in fear.
"I sure do." Menchi dove into the valley, catching onto a spider eagles web and flipping to a stop. Some applicants yelled out in fear and surprise. Menchi waited for something to come, I could faintly sense the build of off wind coming when she let go of the web and grabbed onto an egg, free falling into the fog.
"H-hey she jumped off! Is she trying to kill herself?" Leorio yelled, rubbing his hand over his face. Kurapika seemed to have noticed the build up too.
"No, she's not." Kurapika disagreed. A second later a harsh gust of wind made Killua pull me back to him. Menchi came floating back up, hovering on the winds gusts with the egg in her hands. Gon, Killua and I grinned and hummed in awe.
"That looks like fun…" Killua muttered, his expression reminding me of a cat playing with a ball of yarn. Menchi landed safely onto the ground with her egg, "Now we boil the egg." She declared happily.
"I've been waiting for this!" Gon said and the five of us jumped into the valley without hesitating. We grabbed onto the web and waited, seeing the other applicants do the same. Even a few let go thinking it was time, the poor bastards.
"Let's go!" Leorio said, the dumbass.
"Not yet!" Gon and I said in unison, blinking at each other before grinning and going back to concentrating.
"Why not?" Leorio persisted.
"There's no wind." Killua deadpanned, making me chuckle.
"There isn't always an updraft." Kurapika explained for the dumbass.
"When's the next one?" Leorio asked, somewhat panicked. Gon and I nodded to each other and said in unison said, "Wait." All the applicants looked at us, waiting for an updraft. The web strained to hold everyone's weight, and a few panicked and dropped. Just as it was close to snapping, me and Gon opened our eyes and yelled out, "NOW!"
All the applicants fell, each grabbing their own egg (Where I grabbed two) and freefalling into the fog. A second later, we were uplifted by the updraft and sent back to the top of the valley, where I gently landed without worry. I smiled and felt my hybrid shuffle around in my shirt, where it poked its head out through my collar and nuzzled my chin.
OoO
We boiled the eggs together, stuffing our faces with the delicious egg. I moaned lightly in contentment, enjoying the treat and let my hybrid snack on half of the other. I giggled at Killua's happy expression at eating one, and finished the second egg.
Kurapika sighed happily, "I can see why they're called dream eggs. Gon shared his with the big guy, 'Todo-san' apparently, like the good puppy he was. Menchi smiled at him and gave him a speech before coming over to me and ruffling my hair, messing it up even worse now after the wind had played with it.
"You're a great cook, Zakara. I hope you become a fine Hunter. And I was wondering, what the hell is on your shoulder?"
I burst out in laughter, clutching Killua for support as my hybrid cooed in joy. "I really d-don't know! But isn't it just the cutest thing?" I said when I could breathe again, still leaning against Killua.
"Well does it have a name?"
"Hmm… how's Yuyami? It means dusk or twilight in your language."
Menchi smiled and nodded, the light illuminating her face. Killua leaned back on me, fixing my messy hair.
