Chapter Two- Realization X Aunt Mito X New Life!
"Hello!?"
My erratic breathing hitched as a new voice called out fallowed by the rustling of a bush not far off, after a second a child stepped out, looking to be about the same age as mine and Cats current bodies. The child was male and wore green shorts, shirt and boots, this kid sure liked green. His spiky black hair stood tall and large brown eyes blinked innocently as he spotted us.
"Are you alright? It's dangerous in here you know!" The boy said, a bright grin stretching across his face as he walked over and crouched beside Cat and I. 'It can't be...' I thought, eyes wide as I stared at the new arrival.
"I'm Gon! What are your names?" Gon continued. I wont lie, I almost choked on my own spit. 'It's really Gon!? So my wish worked?' Glancing over at Cat I saw she wouldn't be much help right now, in fact it looked like she was going to faint, wasn't that my job? Taking a shaky breath I smiled one of my small, shy smiles.
"It's nice to meet you, Gon. I'm Kitsune and this is my friend Cat." I spoke quietly, hesitantly lifting my hand as he did his to shake hands. He looked a bit confused when I said our nicknames but didn't say anything about it.
I wasn't wrong about Cat looking like she was going to faint, Gon ended up carrying her piggy back style since he said it was dangerous for us to stay in the forest any longer. I was a bit jealous of Cat since walking in my over sized clothes was proving to be difficult but I managed. Though I was pretty peeved that my backpack was the size of a school backpack for this body instead of the purse size it really is and the weight of all the candy I have stashed in it was weighing me down pretty badly.
Gon started telling me that we should go to his house and rest which I immediately agreed to, there was no way I was going to pass up being with Gon because if this really was the Hunter X Hunter world then I will meet Killua if I stayed with Gon and Cat would meet Kurapika. Plus Cat and I would be screwed if we were alone in this world. Gon told me about his home and about Aunt Mito though I already knew she was as great as Gon said.
Cat woke up when we were almost to Gon's house and finally started walking, though her normally tanned skin still looked a bit pale. When we finally spotted Gon's home I stood and stared, eyes wide, I could tell Cat stopped to gawk too. It looked so awesome! It's a lot more beautiful then in the Manga and Anime and that's saying something, Gon was so Lucky to live here! I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Gon's excited voice and a woman's not to far off. I smiled when I caught sight of the woman who was obviously Aunt Mito, her brownish/red hair was swept back like in the Anime with a few strands falling across her forehead and her clothes were the same. She talked to Gon with a stern expression before Gon pointed to us. She looked up at us with a surprised look on her face before it melted into a welcoming smile.
A few minutes later found Cat, Gon, Aunt Mito, Gon's grandmother and I sitting at an old but well loved wooded table with cups of tea for each of us. I sat cross legged in my wooden chair, fiddling with one of the ears of my fox backpack that sat on my lap, sipping my tea self-consciously as Aunt Mito and Cat talked.
"So Cat, Kitsune, What were you doing out in the forest all alone?" Aunt Mito asked, a concerned frown on her face. Cat didn't hesitate before she answered.
"Kitsu and I are orphans, we just got to the island after running away from our orphanage, they were abusive and Kit and I didn't want to go to separate homes either." Aunt Mito's frown grew as a gasp left her. 'Wow, Cat's a good actor.' I thought as I glanced at her sad face and tear filled eyes from the corner of my vision, I just tilted my head down so my pure, snow white bangs hid my eyes and some of my face, hoping that it would look like I was sad or about to cry to help with Cats story and act, even if I didn't like lying.
"Hey, Aunt Mito! They can stay here right?" Gon asked excitedly, big brown eyes shining with a huge grin on his face as he leaned forward, almost knocking over his cup of tea.
"Well..." The woman said, a thoughtful look on her face before a smile appeared. "I've always wanted a daughter and with you here I'll have two! Alright, you can stay if you want." A happy laugh escaped her. I looked up and smiled at Cat as she grinned at me, Gon cheered and hugged us both.
After we had agreed to stay Aunt Mito and Gon grabbed some of his clothes and told us to take a bath and change since our trip through the woods left us pretty dirty. Plus our clothes were so big on us they looked like they were going to swallow us whole. I sighed when I sank into the hot water, chuckling when Cat sank lower and started blowing bubbles out of her nose.
"So your grandmother was right, making a wish a 12:12 really does work." I said, unable to stop a grin from appearing. Cat looked over at me, her expression mirroring mine.
"Yep! Oh, and sorry about me freaking and passing out." Cat chuckled, looking embarrassed.
"Don't worry about that, I mean what about me? I was hyperventilating and you where trying to comfort me, oh, thanks for that by the way." I added, smiling gratefully at my best friend. Cat waved a hand dismissively as she reached for a bottle of shampoo with her other hand.
"I'll always watch out for you."
After getting out of the bath Cat and I dressed in some of Gon's clothes. Cat ended up wearing a white undershirt and gray shorts that had black borders on the bottom and on the pockets edges while I wore a black undershirt and black shorts that had white borders and edges in the same style, we both also put on some of Gon's extra boots, Cat wore some in the same style that Gon had been wearing earlier and I wore a pair that didn't fit Gon anymore, colored black with dirt stained white laces. After we were done dressing we went down stairs were Gon was waiting, jumping in place with a grin on his face, wanting to hurry and show us around the island, or at least the town.
Cat and Gon talked animatedly as we walked through town, clearly enjoying each others company, maybe Cat will fall for Gon instead? I almost laughed at the thought, Cat would always stick with Kurapika. Gon showed us a bit of the town, it was tiny and felt like home, really it seemed more of a village then a town and all though the people and noises bothered me enough to make me start to feel a faint tingle of anxiety it was still nice.
Our bodies, I noticed, were those of a seven or eight year old, Gon and Killua were twelve when they went to take the Hunter Exam so we had a long wait, though now that I think about it, that's a very good thing. Since Cat and I have to wait so long to go take the exam that means we have time to train so we can actually survive the stupid thing.
I frowned, worried as I adjusted my backpack on my shoulders. Was going with Gon to take the exam a good idea? What business do we have messing with the story? We could get ourselves killed as well. The more I thought about it the faster my breathing got. Don't hyperventilate, don't hyperventilate.
Breath, in...out...
in...out...
I looked up to see Cat and Gon ahead of me by a few yards, talking excitedly.
...in...out...
I made a mental note to talk to Cat about my worries, talking about this will make me feel better. I forced a smile as Cat and Gon glanced back at me.
"Kitsune, it's getting late. Let's go home, okay?" Gon said, smiling sweetly. My smile turned real as his words sank in, I have no idea about Cat's home life but I knew mine wasn't great and the thought of living in this world, in that beautiful house, on this cozy little island, with my best friend and what I hope to be my new and first brother... My smile turned into a grin, I was ready to start a new life here.
Cheshire: Aww, Kitsune found a home :) This chapter might be short, Sorry about that! I'll try my best to make them longer, Okay? Hope you still liked it though!
Kurama: The ending was cheesy.
Cheshire: You're cheesy!
Kurama: Wait, what?
Cheshire: Cheshire Out! *Salutes *
