Two days have passed since Emi met Gon and Killua, but it feels like she's known them for years. She helped them to know where Gon's father Ging went after visiting the town.

Gon seemed like a really nice person to her. He's just so innocent and full of optimism, and Killua seemed... well, nice in a way. He likes to make her mad sometimes... Actually all the time, but Gon said it's just his way of being friendly.

"Haru, I'm leaving!" Emi yelled out as she was heading through the door.

"Emi, wait!" She heard Haru say. Haru is Emi's annoying step-mother. It's still unknown to Emi why her father married her.

Emi stopped at the door to hear what Haru wanted to tell her.

"I can't believe how much you've changed in the last two days." Haru said, walking down the stairs heading towards Emi.

"What do you mean?" Emi turned around to look at her.

"You're spending all of your time outside with those two boys, ignoring Arata's calls. I barely see you around the house, and what the hell are you wearing?" same old annoying Haru.

"Well, I'm sorry if you can't handle me having new friends and if it's Arata you're worried about then don't, because I'm sure he found himself a new girlfriend by now and I don't need him in my life." Emi turned around to open the door when Haru spoke again.

"Well at least go and put on a nice dress." She seemed determined.

Emi rolled her eyes. "It's just a shirt and some shorts. Do I have to wear a dress every day?" She looked at her again waiting for a reply.

"You're the daughter of Zen Soad. You must look your best." She reminded her again.

Emi sighed and looked away once more.

"You don't want me telling your father about your Hunter License, do you?" Haru threatened.

She wouldn't! Emi thought.

At the end, Emi had to put on a dress. Wearing a dress isn't so bad for her, but she really disliked wearing uncomfortable shoes.

She sighed making her way to the forest where she was supposed to meet Gon and Killua. She was late because of Haru forcing her to put on that dress and shoes. Haru was about to do Emi's hair as well, but she refused and told her that she was late.

The dress wasn't so bad either, and Emi was really glad that she chose it herself otherwise, Haru would have made her wear a big old puffy dress. The dress was a simple white color that barely reached her knees. Emi wasn't stereotype that hates to wear dresses. It was okay, but she prefers shorts because they're more practical.

She finally made it to the meadow where she was supposed to meet the two. She saw Gon sitting by the creek. "Gon."

He turned around and flashed her a smile. "Hi Emi, you look great. Are you going to a party or something?" he asked curiously.

"No, my step-mother made me wear this. By the way, sorry I'm late." She sat next to him.

"It's okay." He said.

"So where's Killua?" Emi asked looking around.

"He got bored so he went to buy some chocolate." Gon answered. Even though Emi only knew him for just two days, she already knew that he's obsessed with chocolate.

"I should've expected that from a chocolate freak." Emi smiled at that. "So, did you find where The Haunted House of Kozu is yet?" that was the place where Gon's father went after being here, or at least that's what Emi's father had to say.

"Actually, yes! That's why I told you to meet us here, Emi!" He said happily.

"That's great." She was really happy for him.

"And since you're leaving too, why don't you come with us?" He asked. Emi was surprised at the question.

"I don't know..." She really didn't know what to say at that point.

"Please?" once you looked in those deep brown eyes there's no turning back...

"... Okay." I gave in. Who could say no to that? Emi couldn't.

"That's great!" He smiled widely.

"But why do you even want me coming along, Gon?" She asked him confused. I mean, I've only known them for a short time. She thought.

"Because you're my friend, Emi. I think it's going to be more fun if you're around. Besides, you said you wanted to become stronger." He said.

She couldn't believe how nice this kid is.

She smiled at Gon and said "Thank you, Gon." And then noticed someone behind her.

"What's with the dress?" Killua said with a mischievous smile. "I can see why you're late." He continued then opened another pack of chocolate, which she could sense wasn't his first.

"Killua! Guess what?" Gon said looking at his Chocoholic best friend.

"What?" Killua said.

"Emi is coming with us to The Haunted House of Kozu!" Gon said happily.

"Oh, so you asked her already." Killua said.

Before Emi could say anything, her phone rang. "Hello?" She answered quickly.

"I'm surprised you answered this time." It was Arata. I forgot to look at the caller ID. Damn it! Emi thought.

"Don't be flattered, Arata. I didn't change my mind."

"Well, I just called so you can meet me tonight."

"You'd have to be crazy if you think I'll say yes."

"Normally, it would be to see you again, but this time it's really important."

"And what makes you so sure I'll believe you?"

"It's about the HCG."

"... Where and when?"

"I'll pick you up at your house at 10 O'clock."

"... Fine."

She immediately closed her phone after that.

She didn't think he was going to lie about something like that. The HCG was an organization for training. Emi's mother went to that organization and it was believed that it trained the strongest fighters from all over the world. Arata knows how much the HCG means to Emi, so that's why she didn't think that was one of his tricks.

"Earth to Emi." Killua's voice brought her back to reality.

"Are you okay, Emi?" Gon looked at her worried.

She gave him a smile and said "I'm fine. Come on, aren't we supposed to be training?" She took off her painful shoes and snatched the chocolate pack away from Killua. "Enough chocolate, fatso." She ran away with his chocolate pack.

"Hey who are you calling fat?" Killua immediately chased after her. She should've known that his speed was no match for her.

He easily caught up to her which made her fall on her back. Killua and Emi were face to face now. "Who's the fatso now?" Killua said mockingly.

"Still you." She smiled while trying to figure out a way to get away from him. She tossed the chocolate pack away, which made Killua slightly move to grab it but Emi immediately stood up and grabbed it and continued running away to the creek.

"You never learn, do you?" Killua said while chasing after her.

"Nope." She ended up holding the chocolate pack over the river. "If you come any closer I'll drop your chocolate friend."

Killua sighed and said "Okay, fine. You win."

She didn't have a chance to smile when she noticed that he wasn't there anymore. And the next thing she knew, Her and Killua were both in the creek while Gon was laughing at them.
