Hana: I am done! Ha! Fast right?
Killua: yeah, yeah... Whatever...
Hana: you little... #%^*%%()*)_*&^%W#$%!
Killua: *ran away*
Kin: *sigh* stupid...
Kurapika: Hana doesn't own Hunter x Hunter in anyway!
Hana: only the great Yoshihiro Togashi-sama own Hunter x Hunter! I only own Kin! Right?
Kin: Hm...
Gon: enjoy!
Egg x Explore x Truth
Kurapika's POV
"Don't tell me... We must jump down there?!" Todo asked to no one particular.
Menchi jump to the cliff for a while. I look down at the end of the cliff. There's a lot of web, and from it looks, it's bouncy. There's also lots of eggs, but I think it's not an ordinary chicken egg, from it's texture though.
In the corner of my eyes, I could see Kin do the same thing as me. Except that she's seating, and I'm standing.
After a few minutes, Menchi's hand is on the end of the cliff, with her head after that. She jumped to the edge and is seen holding an egg I was just mentioned earlier. It is bigger from a normal chicken egg.
"What kind of egg is that?" Leorio said, pointing at the egg. I shrugged, but I swear I've seen it somewhere in a book...
"It's an eagle egg." Kin suddenly said. "It is popular among the chefs in the world because of it's taste."
"Yeah, yeah... Walking encyclopedia..." Leorio muttered.
SMACK!
"Well, we should take them shall we?" Kin said after Menchi explained the things. She then jump to the cliff without hesitation.
"Ouch... That hurts..." Leorio said while he rub his back head that just being smacked by Kin.
"Let's go then." I said.
I jump to the cliff like Menchi and Kin did earlier. When I'm near the web(Is it web?), I catch it with my both hand. It makes me bouncing, well because it's bouncy.
"Well? What are you doing, wasting time? Let's go!" Leorio said.
When Leorio was about to jump, Gon shouted. "Wait!"
"W-what?"
"We must wait until the wind came."
"I see..." Leorio mumbled.
We all waiting, but the wind never came. Some of the examinees can't take it, and jump recklessly. The web almost torn out because of the weight we made. Most of the examinees were extremely worried. Worried that they could fall and dead.
"Patience and calm." Kin suddenly said.
"What do you mean?" Gon asked.
"I think it means... We must be patient and keep calm. That's the key." I said while thinking.
"That's right. We must keep calm, and be patient."
"Patience huh... But these web are threatening me!" Leorio said, struggling.
"Stop it! You would make the web torn more!" Kin shouted. "And as I said, calm."
I nodded. Kin is really look alike like my... Uh... First love. Except that she was stubborn and stuff, but Kin is really reminded me of her. And that rubber band... No doubt. That's definitely her.
I felt a slight breeze on my body, meaning that the wind was about to appear. The web is going to tore down. Gon close his eyes, and suddenly shouted, "Now!"
With that, all of us let go of the web at the same time, and the web finally tore down. I catch the egg with my left hand, and hold it with both of my hand. A strong wind suddenly make us fly to the top, which could nearly impossible to climb. I landed perfectly on the end of the cliff.
"Come here, put the egg in this pot!" Menchi shouted. Behind her, Buhara already eating one of the egg.
After the egg was boiled, all of us eat it. I munch my egg and swallow it. It's... Very delicious. The taste really unique. Different from the outside which looks disgusting, the inside is really... Wow, I can't describe it.
"It's really delicious." Kin said.
"Yeah! I agree!" Gon cheerfully said.
"Um... Yeah, It's really delicious. Never taste anything like this!" Killua said too.
"Me too..." Leorio mumbled as he bite the egg again.
Gon walk towards Todo who failed, and give half of the egg to him. Todo was surprised, but he eat it.
"It's really delicious!" Todo said.
"It is." Menchi suddenly said.
"...Fine, I failed. I'll be back next year." Todo said.
Kin's POV
"Once again, good job everyone. All 42 of you here passed the second exam. We will arrive at the next destination at eight o'clock. It's free time until the next exam. Dismissed." Menchi explained and the people dismissed.
"Ahh... Finally, we can rest!" I yawned as I sit on the floor.
"Yeah, me too..." Kurapika said.
"We have free time!" Gon said cheerfully.
"Yeah! Let's explore this airship, Gon!" Killua exclaimed. I blinked at the sight of a very enthusiastic Killua. Usually I see a very cold Killua, but now, he's very cheerful.
"Yeah!" Gon answered.
I put my bag on the floor and the others did the same thing, except Killua thought. Don't know why he didn't brought any bag with him. I can heard Kurapika sighed.
"Oh, you're tired too, huh?" I asked.
"Yeah, the exams was very tiring..." He smiled at me, and I automatically blushed.
"Y-Yeah, I know..." I stuttered. I feel Killua smirking, I shot a glare at him and he just pretending not seeing anything.
"Nee, Kurapika, do you want to come with us?" Gon asked to Kurapika.
"No, I'll pass..." He answered.
"I see... How about you, Leorio?"
"Me too... I don't have any energy left for that. You two can go."
"What about you, Kin?" Killua asked me. Why Killua? He usually don't want to talk to me.
"Sure, let's go!" I said enthusiastically.
"Okay, we're off then!" Gon said as we run leaving the tired Kurapika and Leorio. I can hear Leorio mumbling from afar, "Damn, they're though. All I want is sleep."
We ran in the hall with Gon in the middle and me and Killua on the side. Gon asked, "Where should we heading first?"
"It should be the cockpit. The cockpit!" Killua answered.
"Yeah, that should be fun!" I said.
"I see!" As Gon answer that, we ran to the cockpit. But... I can really felt a pair of eyes watching us. From it's aura, it's probably a girl. What's a girl doing following us secretly like that? Suddenly, Killua stopped for a moment. He must be sensed that he's being watched. He look back and I did the same thing. No one suspicious there to be found. I look at Killua, who is beside me. "You sense it too?" I asked, he just nodded.
"What's the matter, Killua, Kin?" Gon asked.
"It's nothing." We said in unison.
When we arrived at the cockpit, Killua rapidly open the door. Is he stupid? The sign says, "Do not enter." But he open the door without hesitation. Even Gon, the simple boy, realized that we must not open the door. Stupid Killua.
"It's cool right?" Killua said when the door opened.
"But it says 'do not enter'..." Gon said.
"Yeah, you mustn't open it..." I said.
"Oi, that's why it's called exploring. Let's go!" Killua said.
"Killua!" I and Gon said in unison.
Because of Killua's stupidity, we go in to follow him. Suddenly, the pilot spoke up, something about something about something... And he want us to make us some tea! Darn that pilot. I could smack him until his death. Killua answered that we could make the tea but if the pilot want to let us driving the plane. Oh, stupid. That makes us kicked by the pilot leaving the cockpit. My head hit the wall, just like Gon and Killua.
Killua shout, "You should lock the door if you don't want anyone come in!" He looks furious. I want to laugh seeing his face.
I giggled. "Calm down, Killua."
"Right..." He said. We look at Gon sulking like a baby got scolded. "We got scolded..." muttered Gon.
"W-Well, let's go to the next place." Killua said as he stood up.
We explore many place. We explore a room, a kitchen, a... machine place? Even a bathroom! We explore many room, and the impossible room also. Exploring was also tiring, but this, it's very fun. With two kids, it's really fun. I with I can get a little brother like them! And Killua is the most fun. He's really... How to describe it... Unique, maybe. Well, like that.
"Say, what do you think?" Menchi asked.
"About this year's examinees?" Buhara asked back as he drink his tea.
"Sou, I know I failed all of them once. But don't you think we've got a nice batch? Some of them are giving out good auras. Satotsu-san, what do you think?"
"Let me see... The rookies are quite good this year." Satotsu answered.
"Ah, you think so too, huh?" Menchi said. "I think #294 was outshining others. I don't mean because he's bald. And #45 was really good. Her sushi was very delicious." She continued.
"They are the only one who know about sushi. I definitely choose #99. He smells different. Besides, he has talent. I suppose he must had special training." Satotsu said.
"I bet he's very selfish and conceited. He's a blood type B personality. Can't get along with him." Menchi said. "What about you, Buhara?"
"Me? There's two examinees that catch my attention right from the start but he's not a rookie. #44 and #45. And you must be notice them, Menchi. #45 was the only one that passed you sushi exam. And #44, as soon as I saw him I had the feeling he was just waiting for the chance to kill somebody. And number #45 is seemingly is #44's rival. She's really strong, too. But not as strong as #44, he's just slightly stronger than her. I don't know how much longer that #44 can hold himself." Buhara explained.
"Yeah, I actually notice them too, especially #44. But that's part of the reason I was so edgy while judging the cooking exam. It felt that he's trying to pick a fight with me. And #45 was seemingly kind, as she seen being friends with #99, #403, #404, and #405. She's also great in cooking." Menchi said.
"I know what you mean." Satotsu said.
"Really? You felt that too?"
"You know, they're not so different from you and I. Except that #44 chose to live in the darkness, and #45 chose to live in the light. He always look for the worthy opponent, and that's #45. #44 is really dangerous. In a situation where we would stop our self, he punches ahead without hesitation. He has no sense of right or wrong!"
"It's kind of too bad that we couldn't find something cool..." Killua said,
"Yeah, too bad..." I said,
"Really? Everything we saw seem pretty cool to me!" Gon said. "Hey, Killua, Kin! Look!" Gon said as he look outside the window.
From up here, we can look a big city like a little ants. Of course we can't see people from up here. "It's awesome! It looks like kinda stars..." Gon said.
"You mean you've never seen anything like this?" Killua asked.
"I kind of when kiriko carry me on his back. But it wasn't as many as here though. How about you?"
"My family owns private jets, so I'm used to seen this million times."
"Well, it's nice, maybe." Gon said.
"My family really need it because we live on top of a mountain. And we have about two hundred servants." Killua continued.
"Really? Like really?" I asked.
"Wow, your family must have a lot of moneys. I wonder, what kind of work you parents do?" Gon asked.
"Assassins."
"All of them?"
"All of them. Wow, you guys really believe it?" Killua said while laughing.
"But it's true, right?"
"Oh, yeah... Usually people believe me when I'm lying. That's one of my specialty."
"I see..."
"Every member of my family is a professional assassin. If they get moneys, they can kill anyone you want... My whole life including this is for entering the family's business. But I don't see that I must live with their expectations, you know." Killua said. "And when I said I want to decide my own future, my parents and brother totally freaked out of me! You should've seen it! My mom actually have tears in her eyes as she trying to convinced me that I will be a great assassin one day!" Killua has a weird expression when he said that. Me and Gon sweat dropped heavily. "They're the worst! Who wouldn't want to get out of there... So we got into a big fight. I slashed my mom in the face, stabbed my older brother, and ran away. I bet they're exploring the country just to look for me. I can't wait to have my hunter license. I'm gonna hunt them down 'till I got them, and once I collect the bounties on their head, I'm gonna be free forever!"
"I-I see... Killua, you are amazing." Gon said.
"What?"
"I said, you're amazing. I'm doing this to find my dad and never thought to be a better hunter than he is."
"I suppose you're right... I even don't know why am I saying to capture my dad..." Killua said.
"You can! You can do it!" Gon exclaimed.
"Oh yeah?! It's easy when you said it! You know nothing about my dad do you?"
Killua and Gon talking face to face, while I'm just seeing outside the window. I still can remember that day. That day when... I thought Kurapika had die, and I never see him again in my entire live. And I can remember when Suigetsu found me on that forest. I thanked him for saving me that day. After that, I can hear Killua asked me something. "What?"
"I said, what about your family?"
"I don't have one." I answered simply.
"What? Really?" Killua and Gon asked at the same time.
"Yes. Do you want to know what's my story?"
"If you don't mind." Killua said. I sighed.
"Please don't tell this to Kurapika. I am a Kuruta. Kurapika probably already know that."
"Kuruta? You mean, Kurapika's family that had been massacred by the Genei Ryoudan?" Gon asked and Killua shushed him. My eyes turn red when I heared Gon mention the Genei Ryoudan.
"Yes... You must be heard it from Kurapika. And I am Kurapika's childhood friend.." Gon and Killua gasped when I said that. "You see, like you know, the Kuruta was massacred because of their eyes, right?" I said as I pointed at my right eyes and they nodded. "And this eye. Do you know why I am wearing an eye patch?" they both shook their head. "They took them."
"What?!" They shouted in disbelief.
"Yes. When I failed the exam last year, my friend, Saki, informed me that her brother, Aki, was kidnapped by them. I went to their secret base, which I know from Hisoka. They said, if I give them my eyes, which that time was scarlet, they would release Aki. But I refused them, and they took my left eye. When I was about to run, they killed Aki. And I ran from them, leaving the dead Aki." I said. I can feel tears streaming down on my cheek. "It's all my fault. I left Aki, and he died because of me. It's all my fault..."
Gon put his hand on my shoulder, and Killua look at me. "It's not your fault." Killua said. I went silence. This is the first time Killua and Gon being nice to me. Well, Gon always being nice, but now he's very... wise.
"...Thank you." I said as I wiped my tears.
Suddenly, I felt that aura again. The girl's (I guess) aura behind me. I and Killua stood up when we felt that aura again. I look at Killua and he look at me. He nodded and we ran to the aura. I can heared Gon's shouting at us, but I ignore it. When we look at the aura is from, we found no one there.
"It ran away." I said.
"Wait, there's something on the plant." He said as he take that thing. It looks like a stone.
"Killua! Kin! What's wrong?" Gon asked as he ran toward us. "You okay?"
"It's nothing, really." We said in unison. "C'mon, we go get something to drink, okay?" Killua said as he went to the cafetaria.
We arrived at the cafetaria and choose the seat. A waitress came and asked us what we want to order. Killua and Gon ordered a tea, and I ordered a coffee milk. I sat beside Gon and whispered to Killua.
"What do you think about the presence?" I asked.
"The presence I felt there wasn't Hisoka. It felt... Different." He said.
"You got that earring, right? Let me see it. I might know something." I said. He give me the earring he just got earlier under the table. I look at the earring.
"It's a spice stone." I muttered.
"I see... The presence earlier felt more threatening than Hisoka. There must be someone on this ship who has a grudge againts me." He said.
"Um... Killua, Kin, you're acting a little weird..." Gon interrupted us.
"No, we're okay." Killua said as he drank his tea. I drank my coffee and felt a little more calm. There's a small silence, until Gon broke it. "How many exams left do you think?"
"I don't know." Killua said bluntly making Gon said.
"There's usually 4-6 exams. So there's probably 2 until 4 exams left." I said with a cold tone.
Gon didn't smile. "Did I do something? Are you guys mad at me?"
"No... It has nothing to do with you.." Killua said.
Suddenly, a girl with black hair comes up. I narrowed my eyes at her, because she has the same aura as the aura I and Killua felt earlier. She has the number #111 on her chest attached. She looks kind of suspicious to me, because she looks pretending to kind to us. She has the same earing that me and Killua found earlier. She look at us with her blue eyes of her.
"Would you mind if I sit here?"
Hana: sooo~~ As you know, she is Anita, right? Oh, and if you ask me who is Suigetsu, he's my future OC like Saki, and Aki is Saki's little brother who died because of- Oops, almost said it~~
Kin: *kicks Hana on the butt*
Kurapika: *sweat drop*
Hisoka: why am I didn't make an appearance at this chapter?
Kin: because you are annoying.
Killua: indeed.
Gon: Killua and Kin's relationship grew here!
Kin & Killua: so I have to say 'WOW'?
Gon: umm... no..
Leorio: see 'ya at the next chapter!
