I woke up before Gon did and went to the toilet. I locked myself up in the lavatory and sighed.
'Hey Aiz..Remind me why I can't go home again?'
'You are dead in your original world master. You will have no body to go back to unless you take a living persons body'
'So..the body I have now isn't mine?' I'm seriously worried now since this body might be another girls body.
'No. That is your body recreated in this world when you were of that age. My creator didn't want a body too young for you will be useless and have to be raised and too old because by that time you will have less time to develop the abilities we both will have.'
'I see..Wait, I'll have an ability of my own?! … Can you even show yourself physically?'
'Yes but I will only come out as a dark entity filled with malice. I will be able to control the malice I will let out but my form will be the form you will wish for. As for the first question, you will develop the power they have in this world. We are still separate beings after all. '
'I see. Thank you for informing me of this'
'Yes, Master'
I flushed and got out. When I walked out Killua greeted me with a bored look. I tilted my head to the side.
"Gon is still asleep. Do you want to get some food?" He asked. I nodded and we walked together.
"You aren't a normal person are you" I flinched a bit at that and looked away.
"When you said you died, something must've happened to you that makes you abnormal" I slowly nodded.
"I…I don't know how to say it but…..I'm not entirely human. "I earned a surprised look at Killua. I continued.
"I really did die but when I got revived…..you could say I became less of a human. There's something inside of me…it shares the same body as me but we're both separate people" I laughed nervously and he looked at me as if he didn't know how to respond.
"No wonder you remind me of Alluka" he whispered as he put his hands behind his head and looked away. I looked at him curiously. I can't believe he just blurted out Alluka's name like that.
"Y'know I don't really care about any of that. " He blurted out. I smiled at that
"Thank you Killua. I just hope that you'll be friends with the being that lives inside of me too" He stared at me then looked away again. Did I see a bit of pink on his cheek. We went to the dining hall and grabbed a plate of breakfast. He then started to talk about his life, about how his hands are as sharp as knives, how he killed when he was a kid and how much he loves chocorobos.
"I'm keepin' the golden chocorobo and treasure it! It's like, one of the rarest things in the world!" He said cheekily. I giggled and bought out one normal chocorobo which he gladly took and ate.
"If you want sweets I have tons. I accidentally packed a lot for the trip. " He beamed up and grinned
"I'll finish it for you then!" he said.
"It's mostly chocolates"
"I'll be glad to finish it then!" He countered. We were having a great talk when they announced on the intercom that we're about to arrive at the destination. We looked at each other; nodded before going to where Gon is. Gon looked at the window in awe and we just stared at him beside him.
There it was. Trick tower.
We arrived at trick tower and Beans explained about how we need to reach the end and our time limit is 72 hours. I was too busy looking down in awe. Wow we're really high up. Gon and the rest followed me and stared down before the rock climber dude climbed down.
"That's dangerous y'know" I told him before we all heard flapping of wings. Then creatures that looked like babies appeared and one ate the dude. We all stared at it in shock and I just said 'I told you so!'. Killua and Kurapika looked at me curiously.
"How did you know about that?" Kurapika asked.
"I didn't. I was just guessing that because the hunter exam isn't that easy…right?" I said as a matter of factly. Kurapika nodded and agreed with me but Killua was still a bit suspicious. I can't blame Killua for being suspicious of me. Kurapika also seemed like he was suspicious but he just rubbed it off.
After a while I just stood beside Kurapika and Leorio and we observed our surroundings.
"There are fewer people left" Kurapika stated.
Leorio was stunned and Kurapika explained a lot and that there might be some hidden doors that lead below.
"Kurapika! Leorio! Hana!" Gon called out and we all walked to him. Gon then showed the hidden door and Kurapika said that they can head down there using the door. Gon then said about the 4 more door and Kurapika questioned it. Killua added that the door can only be used ones and that only one person can use it. They all decided to do the doors separately and I agreed. We all stood at the different door s and jumped.
That's strange.
MY DOOR WOULDN'T BUNGE.
IS IT BECAUSE MY LITTLE GIRL STRENGTH WASN'T ENOUGH!? I stood at the door in hopes that someone would help me. My only bet was going to be Tonpa. I sat on the door and waited for Tonpa to notice me. I hoped this would be the majority door.
It's been two hours and Tonpa and I are the only ones left. I went near Tonpa and he got mad at me but then I dragged him with me.
"Jump!" I ordered him and he knocked on the slate then jumped. He and I fell together and I landed on his belly. I waved at the others and sweat dropped a bit.
"I-I wasn't strong enough to open the door so I had to get this guy to open it for me" I explained. Killua bursts out in laughter and Leorio was pissed.
"IT TOOK YOU TWO HOURS TO GET SOMEONE TO OPEN IT FOR YOU!? " I looked down as Leorio bursted out. Kurapika had to calm him down and Gon just asked me if I was alright. An additional watch suddenly appeared by the wall and I took it while Tonpa got the other watch. The door unveiled itself and it asked 'At this door, select O to open, X not to open'.
"Forcing us to use the majority rule already? The answer should be obvious…"
We all clicked our stopwatches and the answer showed that 5 said o and 1 said X. Leorio got mad at Tonpa when he found out about Tonpa and I backed away a bit. I don't want to hear them bickering anyway. Kurapika said not to bicker anymore and Killua stated that they just need to press the right buttons. We walked to the next room.
The next question asked 'Which way do we want to go? O for left and X for right'
I answered left for the sake of majority purposes. When Leorio found out about the unevenness of the answer, Kurapika explained that studies indicated that people who are lost or stuck at forks unconsciously tend to go left. Killua then said he heard of that before. When Kurapika and Killua told Leorio that they chose right. Tonpa added that the two wanted to outfox the examiner which made Leorio mad and say that we were simpleminded. Gon questioned that and I just giggled. We kept walking and reached the arena. 6 people stood on the opposite side and they were covered in robes and had shackles on them.
Ah, the prisoners. This is the duel parts. I'm kind of nervous since I know I have to fight.
The examiner explained that they were prisoners and examiners at the same time. He continued to explain the rules which I already knew. About having 4 wins to pass and about the goal of the prisoners is to buy time.
I put my hands on my chest and backed away a bit and sighed. They discussed about what they were gonna do and before Kurapika could volunteer, Tonpa did it. Tonpa explained that he'd want to be it would be best for him to go first rather than to be relied on for when a tiebreaker happens.
"I don't trust Tonpa…" I murmured in the back. Killua and Gon looked at me before they looked back at the match. I sat on the side and put my earphones on and listened to my music. I fell asleep after and missed the fight of Gon, Kurapika and Leorio. I know what's going to happen anyway, Gon wins because of his quick thinking, Kurapika wins cause he snaps at the prisoner who pretended to be a spider and Leorio lost almost 50 hours of our time. I was woken up by Gon who told me it was Killua's match and I that I'm next. I stood up and stretched before I saw everyone gawking at Killua's stunt and I just yawned.
"Sorry I fell asleep." I said as Leorio questioned who Killua was. Gon answered that Killua cam from an elite family of assassins and I nodded. Leorio flinched when Killua came back and I inhaled then exhaled before I proceeded to walk forward. Before I continued I turned to them and I looked at them seriously. "Promise me you won't get scared of me after I show you what I can do?" I questioned. They looked at me crazily before nodding.
They all watched me walk to the stage before a big rowdy prisoner appeared before me and removed its shackles. It revealed a big macho man and turned out his sentence was mass murder like Killua's opponent
I just stood there as he mocked me and teared up a bit.
Shit he was scary...
….but I have Aiz on my side.
'Aiz, I wish I had my old 18 year old strength to beat the crap out of this guy'
'As you wish, Master'
I opened my eyes which turned red for a second. The man looked surprised and started to talk. I didn't listen to him since I concentrated on the stuff going in my mind. When he noticed that I did not pay attention to his squabble he charged at me and I barely dodged it. I put my foot forward which made him trip and I sat on his leg and twisted it. I heard Leorio say 'ouch' with that and Killua whistled. Gon continued to watch and so did Kurapika but Kurapika looked serious. Tonpa was scared. I came back to the match when the prisoner started to cry.
"Do you want to give up? If you don't I'll break your other leg and you won't be able to walk again" I said in a threatening tone. The prisoner nodded and surrendered before I sighed. 'He's a crybaby'
"Let me heal you" I said as I turned him around and fixed his leg like an open surgery. I actually did this before don't get me wrong, I had to learn this for first aid purposes. When the temporary cast was finished I helped him go to the other side. The other prisoners backed away from me and I just placed him down gently and bowed at them politely before I walked back to my own teammates.
"That was amazing Hana!" Gon exclaimed and patted my shoulder.
"Tch, I could've done better" Killua said with a smug smirk "Well, it was good for someone like you". I laughed at that since I know Killua was trying to compliment me.
"I can't believe you know how to do first aid." Said Leorio in awe.
"Well, I used to do it a lot since I hung out the hospital a lot so they taught me just in case something happens to me." I said the honest truth. Leorio nodded at me in understanding.
"Hana….Are you by any chance…a survivor of the Kurta clan?" I looked at Kurapika who contemplated on his question. I shook my head and smiled sadly.
"Sadly I'm not part of the Kurta clan. What you saw a while ago was pure coincidence. I'm very sorry for raising your expectations Kurapika" I said with a bow. He shook his head and smiled.
"It's okay, I understand. "
A door opened on the side and Killua pointed it out. We all went there and arrived in a room. Gon and Killua invited me to find something to do there; which I declined; since I wanted to sit down and relax. Everyone found their comfort zones and we all waited for the 50 hour clock to reach zero.
Sorry for the somewhat late update. I'll try to update it sooner. Thank you for reading!
