Konnichiwa! Author-chan had some free time today so here's an update,~
As my new friends Gon, Kurapika, Leorio, and I got off the elevator we entered what looked like an underground holding area for the exam. "Tch, everyone looks so tense down here," I said to Gon, looking around at all the serious faces.
"Here is your number, please wear it at all times during the exam, my name is Bean." A short green man that did indeed look like a little vegetable said.
"What!?, number 406, I didn't expect to get here that late," I mumbled in shock.
"It's ok Aku! At least we finally made it!" Gon said.
"Heh I guess your right Gon!" I said, I couldn't help smiling at how optimistic he was, even though we were the same age, he somehow had a way of making me feel ancient.
"Haven't seen you guys before" someone said behind us. I instantly drew Toshi closer, growling. Afterall my mother taught me anyone and everything could be a threat.
"You can tell we're new?" Gon asked.
"More or less, afterall this will be my thirty-fifth attempt, my names Tompa" A short fat man said. 'Well this guy is an utter failure, though I guess he won't be too much trouble...' I thought.
"Im going to go take a walk, I'll see you guys soon!" I said, eager to go stretch my legs before the exam.
"Just don't fall asleep you lazy cat" Leorio snickered.
"Yeah, yeah you wish Orio" I said while skipping away, a small pang in my heart, if only for a second. The last time someone referred to me as a cat was... never mind I have new friends. I should stop dwelling in the past. As I walked by a few people, in my own little world, I suddenly heard a scream. Jumping around I saw another applicant kneeling down, something was happening to his arms.
"Oh how peculiar, his arms seemed to have become flower petals, no smoke and mirrors here. Do take care. When you bump into someone, you really should apologize." A mockingly lazy voice drawled, while adressimg the crowd.
"W-what...?" I whispered to myself, utterly entranced by a mere stranger. 'Oh no he's looking, he is definitely looking at me, MOVE AKUMI!' I thought. As quickly as I could I made my way back to Gon and my recently made friends. Though I couldn't shake his image out of my head. His beautiful amber, carmel eyes, perfects hair, sultry voice and... "THAT BODY!" I shouted. 'Oops I totally said that outloud... Damn that's embarrassing, and why am I even thinking like that...' "Hey Aku-chan! Are you ok?" Gon said as Kurapika and Leorio came running up behind him. "Um yeah Gon I'm fine" I said faking a smile. Suddenly the wall seemed to lift and a man by the name of Satotz I think said he was our examiner. He looked a little creepy to me, you couldn't even see that dudes mouth!
"The hunter exam will now begin!" Satotz said. We all started to walk down the long tunnel. Satotz then started to pick up the pace. GREAT.
"This test is weird" Gon said.
"I expect it's an endurance test, fine by me, I'll be right behind you" Leorio said.
"Aww I hate running... And you better not fall behind Orio!" I giggled.
~Some 2 hours later~
"Ugh we've already traveled like 30 kilometers" I groaned.
"Feel like dropping out?" Leorio mocked. I was about to retort back when a guy with white hair skate boarded past me, accidentally bumping into me.
"HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!" I shouted. He then turned around and our eyes both widened as recognition hit like a freight train. "Y-you... YOU!" I shouted.
"Aku-" Killua uttered in surprise.
"DON'T YOU DARE SAY MY NAME!" I snared, which props to me got Orio, Gon, and Kurapika running faster and out of earshot.
" L-look I'm sorry about all that's happened, can we just have a truce. I know you hate me, but could we try to be friends again. "And- WAIT, YOU BROUGHT THAT DAMNED CAT ALONG!?" Killua shouted, hurting my ear drums.
"Nhg" I winced. " Fine we can try to be friends again, but I will take awhile for things to go back to normal. And I don't care if we're supposed to be married I belong to no one, also if you lay a hand on Toshi you are DEAD! Got that kitty?" I growled.
"Haha whatever wifey, check ya later" Killua smirked and dashed off to go talk to Gon. 'Grrr... How dare he! And if he lays one disgusting claw on Gon I'll-'
"Hello there little girl" someone said in my ear. 't-that voice...'
"Um excuse me but I'm actually 18" I said rudely.
"Well does this 18 year old have a name?" Hisoka said still smiling.
"Fuck off, go bother someone else." I snapped.
"Be careful now princess-chan, it was just a question" Hisoka warned, releasing nen, still with that damned smile.
"Fine, most people call me Aku, happy?" I sighed.
"I asked for your name not what people call you, a princess like you couldn't be all that evil, could they?" Hisoka smirked. "Hahaha sorry to burst your bubble but Aku is short for Akuma" I lied, I just couldn't tell him my real birth name, it seemed wrong. "Devil-chan hmmm..." Hisoka said licking his lips, testing my name. Hisoka, eyes narrowing looked between my legs as he started to reach forward.
"W-what are you doing!?" I stuttered.
Ooo things just got real, I wonder what is going to happen to our Akumi-chan? Someone seems to be attracted to a certain clown. And she finally sees her husband to be again.
