"...nee… I said Rimu nee!" Reimi called and snapped me out of my trance as I stared at the ocean.
"Hmm? What is it Reimi?" I asked as I patted her head which got me a disapproving look in return.
"Geez stop doing that. I'm not a kid anymore." she pouted as she swatted my hand away. Ahh she is so cute!
"You will always be a kid in my eyes." I smirked and walked towards the sound of a kid shouting. That's where I saw them. Gon and Leorio were running towards the ship as we left whale island. I would have helped them but well… I know they won't need it. I watched as Gon ran the opposite direction and Leorio followed.
"Rimu nee, why are you smiling like that? It's creepy." Then I heard an exasperated gasp before she continued. "You can't possibly be a pedo right? Don't tell me you are interested in that uncle?!" I smacked her behind the head because of what she said.
"WHY WOULD YOU EVEN THINK THAT?!" My sudden outburst brought me confused stares. "What are you looking at?" I glared back and the people just avoided eye contact. Che these people don't even have the guts to look me in the eye after I disabled a man twice my size earlier.
As i thought about how boring those muscleheads are I saw Gon and Leorio slide down the sails and land, or fell in Leorio's case, on the ship just like I knew they would.
"That is quite the entrance." I said as I held out a hand to help Gon and Leorio up.
"Thanks. My name is Gon, what's yours?" I could have sworn I saw beams of light emitting from him. He is just as innocent as portrayed in the anime! I squealed internally at how big and bright his eyes were.
"Kurimu… you can call me Rimu. This is my little sister Reimi." I said as Reimi waved at the two boys with a huge smile on her face.
"Hey uncle what's your name?" asked Reimi which earned her a glare from Leorio. I facepalmed at her tone. Leorio hates being called an uncle you idiot!
"I'm not an uncle!" Leorio reacted just as I thought he would. I just sighed and decided to watch the two with Gon.
"You look like an uncle." then she smirked and added, "uncle."
"Don't call me uncle!" Leorio shouted as a tick mark appeared on his face.
"Well you didn't tell me your name." said Reimi as she played with a piece of her hair. I can tell that she's having fun messing with Leorio. Haa… Reimi is a kind child but she can be such a tease sometimes.
"He is Leorio!" Gon said with a smile brighter than the sun.
"Oi Gon. Don't go around giving out our names so easily." said Leorio. "We don't know if they can be trusted."
Oh no. I started sweating at the realization. I will have a hard time being in their group if they don't trust me. Damn why didn't I think about this before? How am I going to get them to trust me? I continued panicking in my mind when I realized the three were staring at me.
"w...what?" I stuttered.
"Rimu nee, are you okay? You have a funny look on your face." said Reimi with a worried look. "I've never seen you with such a look before. You are always so calm and indifferent afterall."
"Oh uh… it's nothing." I quickly tried to gain the two boys' trust. "A...anyways, Leorio I can reassure you that we are no one suspicious."
I facepalmed internally. That's just going to make them more suspicious! Baka!
"Well I guess you two don't look harmful." Leorio said. Phew thank god for looking harmless. Though that is far from true but they don't need to know that.
"Ne ne Rimu san." Gon said as he stared at me.
"Hmm? Just call me Rimu nee like Reimi." I said with a smile.
"Rimu nee, Reimi just went and started talking to that boy over there." my eyes followed Gon's finger to the blond haired boy.
"Oh it's just Kurapika." I said as I watched Reimi chatting with the boy.
"You know him?" asked Gon.
"Ah… kind of." It's kind of the truth since I do know him. However only Reimi has talked with him and is supposed to know his name so it's also kind of a lie. I quickly changed the subject. "Doesn't it feel like a storm is coming?"
"Yeah! You can tell too?" asked Gon. I can tell that he's excited about having someone who can tell like him.
"Er… sometimes I can." of course I can't! I only know because of the memories from my past life! I told Gon that I was gonna go inside to take a nap and left him to tell the captain about the storm.
…
I woke up to the sound of two people arguing. I guess that means the captain has come to ask for their names and purposes for taking the exam. I got up just as Leorio and Kurapika stormed out of the room.
"Ah Rimu nee you're awake." said Gon as I approached him and the captain yawning. The captain just nodded at me as I smiled and nodded back. There was no need for him to question me or Reimi since we already told him shortly after boarding the ship.
"Eh? Where's Reimi?" I asked looking around the room. Man was the room a nice sight to behold. Men littered everywhere immobilized by sea sickness. Why would you even bother trying if you are so weak? I let out a sigh as I let Gon lead me to Reimi.
"Rimu nee you're finally up." said Reimi as I walked to stand next to her.
"Mn…" was all I gave in return as we watched Leorio and Kurapika exchange blows. That's when a bolt of lightning hit the mast near… what was his name again?
"KATZO!" yelled the captain as Katzo fell towards the ocean. Leorio and Kurapika tried to grab Katzo but missed as I watched Gon and Reimi both leap off the deck and grab Katzo's legs. They were about to fall when Leorio and Kurapika grabbed onto the two.
I whistled as I walked towards the hanging mess. "Now this is unexpected." I said as I stared at Reimi. I took a hold of the collars of Leorio and Kurapika and pulled them up to safety with a slight yank.
The storm passed and I pretended to be sleeping while Katzo thanked the four for saving him. Gon and Reimi also got lectured by the two older boys for being reckless. Reimi had introduced me to Kurapika just a bit earlier and we talked about the Kuruta tribe. I had to lie and say that I knew someone from his tribe when he got suspicious about how I knew so much. Thus ending with me pretending to be asleep while trying to avoid suspicion.
