It was dark out and we continued to walk. Leorio was complaining about how we've been walking for more than two hours about the signage, being hungry and for needing a dump.

Kurapika saw the house and told us about it. Leorio knocked and asked if anyone was in….no response. 'The Kiriko must be inside now preparing for their act'. He opened the door and we all gasped. They were a lot more terrifying in front than on tv.

"A transforming magical beast, The Kiriko! They can take human form! That's an extremely intelligent creature. " Explained Kurapika as he drew his bokkens.

"There's a woman in his arms!" exclaimed Gon who took out his rod and prepared himelf.

"And the guy on the floor needs medical attention." Said Leorio.

The Kiriko jumped out of the window with the woman; Kurapika and Gon chased out to the window but stopped when the man begged to save his wife. I narrowed my eyes at the man 'He's a good actor'

Gon jumped out of the window while Kurapika dropped his bag and told Leorio and I to take care of the injured man. Leorio nodded and I stared at the man before assisting Leorio in whatever I can.

"Do you think they'll be okay?" Leorio asked me in concern as he tended to the man's wounds. I smiled at him and nodded

"Believe in them Leorio! They'll see through this trap!" I said with determined eyes as I stared down the man. "We'll tend to your wounds sir so I hope you won't do anything to further hurt yourself. " The man stared at me seriously before nodding. Leorio looked at me crazily before he continued to treat the man.

The only thing I helped out with is giving Leorio the tools he needed. When we finished Leorio turned to me and frowned.

"Oi! Why did you seem like you were threatening the man?" asked Leorio. Leorio took a defensive stance in front of the male. I blinked and tilted his head

"Well he isn't human for one but I know he isn't going to hurt us. I'm guessing this is part of the test " too" I said as a matter of factly. The man and Leorio looked at me, surprised.

"H-How can you be so sure that I'm not human?" asked the man. I shrugged.

"Just a guess. Besides, even if you're not human, Leorio and I wouldn't leave you injured…Right?" I turned and smiled to Leorio who nodded and looked dumbfounded. Leorio seemed not to believe me since he kept reassuring the man who begged for his wife. I just kept silent and helped Leorio as much as I can.

We all stood in front of the house where the family gathered and marveled at Gon's ability to differentiate them. I went near Gon and bowed at the husband and wife before going back to Kurapika and Leorio's side. I smiled at the two who looked at Gon in shock as he casually talked to them like nothing happened and whispered to themselves. Gon even had to explain that the one they beat up is the husband.

The Kiriko's explained to us that they were navigators and that their family provides support for the hunter exam. The woman waved and said she's their daughter and the man said that he's their son.

"Man, you had us fooled!" Exclaimed Leorio.

"The Hunter Exam changes site every year. It's quite difficult to locate it. " said the husband.

"So we Navigators help by guiding the applicants to the site." Said the wife.

"But we don't help every candidate" Said the daughter

"We test applicants to see if they're qualified to take the exam." Said the son.

"Kurapika-dono, you successfully used the most vague of hints to determine that we weren't spouses. The hint was these tattoos which, in this region, mark a woman as single for life. Kurapika-dono demonstrated that he is very knowledgeable. Therefore, he passes"

We all smiled for Kurapika and Gon and him did a fist bump. I congratulated Kurapika and he nodded at me.

"Hana-dono." I tensed up and straightened myself. "You were the first one out of everyone to know that I was not human. You used your sharp senses to figure out that I was also not in any shape or form harmful and helped tend to my wounds despite knowing I was human. Therefore, you pass" I sighed in relief and saw Gon raise his hands up. We high fived each other and Leorio patted my head.

"Leorio-dono" Cue Leorio who tensed up like me too "You were the one who did not figure out who I was and defended myself. However, even when you found out you dressed to my wounds faster and more accurate than any doctor and more importantly, you continued to reassure me that my wife was safe."

"S-Stop it it's embarrassing " He said with a flustered face.

"Your kindness makes you worthy to take the hunter exam. Thus, you pass"

"REALLY?! " Leorio sighed as he fell down the ground in relief. Gon congratulated him and they did a fist bump and I patted Leorio on the head. Leorio groaned and I laughed.

"And finally, Gon-dono"

Gon stood straight "Yes"

"Your superhuman physical ability and powers of observation make you worthy to take the Hunter pass!"

We all smiled for gon and they fistbumped while I hugged him from behind "We all passed!" I cried out and they all smiled softly.

We all held onto the navigators knees as we were taken to the hunter exam sight. Gon was happy we all passed and Kurapika said it's too early to be delighted since we just received the right to take the real test. Leorio got mad and almost fell down and we laughed at him.

"We can all do this!" I said excitedly and they nodded.


We arrived in Zaban city and walked the streets. Gon and I looked at in awe and went to different booths.

"Gon look! " I said as we went to a booth that sold Zaban's famous panda-frog-on-a-stick! He beamed up and we ran to another booth that sold a brooch that looked like a purple turtle. We kept going to look at different booths before we were called by Leorio. We ran to them and after a while we arrived at the place. The three looked in awe and I just followed the navigator.

"Hey guys, this is where the place is!" I waved at them and they looked at me as if I grew a second head. They should stop looking at me like that

We all stood in front of a restaurant and Leorio complained at that. The Navigator explained that this is the perfect place for a hunter exam because no one expects that hunters gather there. We all nodded and went in the place. The Navigator talked to the owner about having steak for three and how he'd like it grilled over a low flame, until cooked. We proceeded to the backroom and was told to wait there. Leorio asked about the others before Gon cut him off.

"I can't wait for the steak combo!" Gon said excitedly. I nodded and drooled a bit

"I'm hungry too. I hope it's big!"

"Gon, Hana, that was just the password to get us inside." Kurapika explained.

"What, so we don't get to eat" Gon pouted and I did too. I knew this was going to happen but I had my hopes up since I was hungry as hell.

"One in every ten thousand" We all turned to the navigator .

"That's the number of applicants who make it through this far every year. You've done extremely well for first-timers. Well good luck. " He was about to leave when Gon raised his hand.

"Thanks!" Gon said as he waited for a handshake. The navigator shook his hand "I would be happy to serve as your Navigator next year, as well." Before he looked the door and we went down.

"It appears that this room is an elevator" Kurapika stated as he sat down. Leorio sat down and grumbled.

"That bastard, that meant that he expects us to fail this year." Leorio groaned.

"Once in every three years. The frequency when a rookie passes the test" Kurapika then continued to explained about the harshness of the hunter exam.

Then there goes their debate about Hunter being money grabbers and glory hog. They both go to Gon for the debate which made me glad I was left out. I laughed nervously as Gon looked at me like he needed help as they asked which kind of hunter they wanted him to be. I slammed the table

"Come on guys! Poor Gon looks conflicted!" I defended Gon and they looked at me. Before they can even say anything the elevator 'bing' and they held the fight off which made Gon sighed in relief and thank me. I nodded and we all went out of the elevator only to be greeted by a tense atmosphere. It was all the applicants. I looked around in search for specific people of course…coughKilluaandHisokacough..

"Strange atmosphere down here" whispered Leorio.

"They clearly differ from the hunter applicants we saw at the port and in the city. Each is a master, in their own right.." stated Kurapika.

"Excuse me.." Gon said but stopped when everyone looked away. "Everyone's really tense. "

"Hello. Please take a number." Bean said as he gave away our numbers.

Leorio got 403, Kurapika got 404 and Gon got 405. I got 406 by chance.

"Be sure to wear this on your chest at all time. Be careful not to lose it" with that, bean walked away.

"Haven't seen you guys around before" I gritted my teeth and turned around. It was Tonpa, my most hated character since he sucked.

He explained to them that it's his thirty-fifth attempt and that he's like an exam veteran. He then proceeded with his nice guy act while I just kept silent. Gon asked if there were other who took the test a bunch of times. He then explained about 255 Todo the wrestler, 103 Bourbon the snake charmer, 191 bodoro the kung fu master, the amori brothers, 384 Gereta and said that there are a lot more.

Then a scream filled the air and we looked at the direction of it. The arm of the guy turned into flower petals. Ah, he bumped to Hisoka! I looked at the scene in awe…It looked pretty when close up. Yes, I have weird tastes. I like gruesome things.

"Oh how peculiar, His arms seem to have become flower petals. No smoke and mirrors here. Do take care, when you bump into someone you should really apologize" Hisoka said with his suave voice. Everyone sweated and Tonpa called him a psychopath. Number 44 Hisoka, the magician. He then continued to say about the fact that he killed an examiner. I narrowed my eyes and went in front of the man

"Sir, are you alright?!" The guy was too scared to even respond to me and I can feel Hisoka's gaze on me.

'Aiz, I want you to to bring back this guys arms'

'As you wish, Master'

I felt everyones gaze on me as my hands started to glow and the arm suddenly went back. The guy snapped out of his trance and bowed at me and started to call me his savior. I sweatdropped and smiled nervously

"I-It's fine….I don't mind.." I then turned around and walked to Hisoka

"Hisoka-san! Please don't just make others people arms disappear just like that!" I huffed at him and he looked at me surprised. He then smiled at me and looked at me as if he was interested.

"Little girl you revived that man's arms right? You must be….powerful" He said as if he was lusting. I shook my head and smiled

"No. I just know a bit of ….magic like you!" I winked crossed my arms. "No more of that okay?" He then nodded and I walked away, knowing that he stared at me intently. I walked back to my friends who looked at me crazily and I huffed

"He was mean so I had to do that!" I looked at the juices and was about to tell them about Tonpa when suddenly a bell rang and we all turned around to see Satotz. I didn't pay attention to the instructions and talked to Aiz.

'Aiz can I have a sling bag with sweets in it?'

"As you wish, Master"

A white sling bag with flowers in it appeared. I opened it and nodded in satisfaction. There were chocorobots, lollipops, chocolate bars from my world and pieces of candies….And there were some that were coffee flavored! Yum!

"Hana, let's walk!" I snapped out of my daze when Gon patted my shoulder and told me that.

We started to walk and everyone picked up the pace. I ran with Gon and he just encouraged me. Thank god I wished for endurance.

"Gon, do you think we'll all pass?" I asked him curiously. I know they'll all pass but me…I don't know. I don't want to take advantage of Aiz. Only in some occasions!

Gon nodded "Yeah! Of course we'll all pass. We did say we'll pass as friends, right?" he looked at me with those hazelnut eyes and I blushed then nodded. Damn him and his innocent yet knowing eyes.

I looked around and saw that there were a lot of dropouts already. I felt bad for them but this is how the hunter exam is… A grueling and painstaking test that only the chosen few who have the ability, wisdom and luck will be able to pass.

"Hey! Wait up, kid!" We heard Leorio shout and ran to him.

"Hm?" KILLUA! IT WAS KILLUA!

"You should show some respect to the hunter exam!"

"What do you mean?"

"Why are you using a skateboard? That's cheating!"

"Why?"

"Wha—This is an endurance test!"

"No it isn't!" cut off Gon

"Huh? Gon, what are you saying?" Exclaimed Leorio as he looked at Gon angrily.

"The examiner only told us to follow him" I nodded at that

"He never said anything about not being able to use skateboards or whatever to follow him" I added.

"Whose side are you guys on, eh?!" Leorio shouted. Killua went near Gon and I.

"Hey, how old are you guys?" Asked Killua.

"We're both twelve! " Answered Gon. Killua hummed and flipped his skateboard.

"I guess I'll run too." We bothed 'awwed' at him

"That was cool! " said Gon.

"I'm Killua"

"I'm Gon! And this is Hana" I waved at Killua who nodded at me as we continued to run. It's so overwhelming to be able to run beside THE GREAT GON and KILLUA. I grinned happily and just enjoyed the moment.

After a while, Gon and I heard a loud thump and saw Leorio who panted and held his knees. Gon stared at him for a while and I looked at him in worry. I inhaled and shouted at Leorio.

"OI! YOU CAN DO IT LEORIO!" Leorio suddenly stood up and started to dash and shouted "DAAAMN IT AAAAALL!" Gon smiled at Leorio then at me and he used his fishing rod to get the suitcase which earned an awed look from Killua.

"Cool!" We started to run again and Killua said "You gotta let me try that later!"

"If you let me try your skateboard, okay?"

We ran and Killua proposed to race. Gon was in but I said that I wanted to run leisurely which got a 'you're boring' from Killua and a pout from Gon…then I changed my mind and decided to race with them. Gon added that whoever loses buys dinner and all agreed before we started.

By this time, Kurapika and Leorio should have the talk about the Kurta clan and about Leorio wanting to be a doctor. I looked at the two who looked happy as they raced. Maybe I should put some effort in this? I did wish for stamina.

"I'm impressed you guys can keep up with me" Killua said with his unfazed look.

Gon grin and scratched the back of his head "Really?"

Killua raised an eyebrow "Or maybe it's just that everyone else is too slow." Gon 'hmm'd ' at that. "At this rate, The hunter exam is gonna be a breeze. That's no fun"

"Hey, why do you want to become a hunter?" Asked gon.

"Me? I'm not really interested on becoming a hunter" stated Killua

"What? "

"I heard the exam was supposed to be really hard, so I thought It'd be fun. But this is disappointing. What about you?" He looked at Gon who blinked.

"Well, my dad's a hunter! So I want to be a hunter, like my dad!" Gon answered. Gon explained about how he doesn't know what kind of hunter Ging is, how he was raised and all. I just listened behind them and smiled softly. They're going to be best friends and be all happy. I'll make sure!

They looked like they were about to ask questions to me when we saw the end of the tunnel. We all dashed to it when Satotz stopped and screamed 'Goal!' together. We looked like we crossed the line simultaneously.

The two argued about who got there first. I just kept silent and laughed nervously.

"Maa Maa..We all got here at the same time.. " I looked at Satotz "Right, Satotz-san?" He blinked and nodded.

"I believe you three got here simultaneously" I smiled and they whined.

"How about I treat you guys dinner? In a sense I did loose since I was behind you guys" They both agreed to it and I pulled something out of my bag. Killua seemed to realize that it was a golden chocorobo. I gave each of them one and smiled.

"Here's your prizes!" Killua marveled at the golden chocorobo in his hands.

"How did you get this?!" He asked. I just shrugged "I got it from a crane game and didn't know I'd get two in a row."

"But this is ultra rare! You sure you wanna give this to me? It costs millions!" I nodded.

"Friends are more important than millions" He blushed at that and Gon giggled

"Thank you Hana" Gon said with a smile.
