Scarlet Eyes
Chapter 6
Hikari's POV
He sure has a weird shaped head. And why is it green? Sure are weird things to see in this city.

"Hello. Please take a number. Be sure you wear this on your chest at all times. Be careful not to lose it. "

What are these numbers for? Is seems everyone else is wearing one too. Leorio has 403, Kurapika has 404, Gon has 405 and I've got 406. Are these meant to prove we are taking the Hunter Exam?

"Haven't seen you guys around before."

There is a man sitting on a pipe to the left of us. The man has brown hair, thick eyebrows, and square nose. He is wearing a blue top with gray sleeves and pants and blue shoes. He is wearing the badge with the number 16. I don't like this person. I can tell just by looking at him that he is bad news. He gives off the aura of being a bully. I must make sure to keep an eye on him, just in case he tries anything.

"Yo!"

"You can tell we're new?"

"More or less. After all, this will be my thirty-fifth attempt."

"Thirty-five times?!"

"Well, you could say I'm an exam veteran."

Ahh, now I understand. He is one of the rookie crushers. And considering a number of times he has taken this exam, he seems to crush rookies a lot. I must be extra careful and make sure he doesn't do anything to put Gon into danger.

"That isn't something to brag about."

"Indeed."

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

"Thank you."

I have to teach Gon not to trust every person that he meets. It will get him in trouble in the end. But Gon is naturally a friendly person so that might be a bit difficult.

"My name is Tonpa."

"I'm Gon. These are Kurapika and Leorio. And this is my Nee-Chan Hikari. Hey, are there others who have taken the exam a bunch of times like you?"

"Well, I have the most experience here, but there are a few others. For instance, there's him. Number 255, Todo, the wrestler. He's unmatched in strength. And he's smarter than he looks. On the other side, we have number 103, Bourbon, the snake charmer. He tends to hold grudges, so you don't want to end up on his bad side. And then... Number 191, Bodoro, the kung fu master. He's getting old. But there still isn't a better martial artist around. Then you have the three brothers, Amori, Imori, and Umori. They perform consistently well, thanks to their excellent teamwork. And number 384, Gerreta, the Huntsman. He specializes in killing all manner of creatures, by blow dart and club. They are much more, but they have taken the test the most times."

"Ah..."

While looking around I see one person bump into a person that looks like a clown. He doesn't even apologize but carries on walking. That is so rude. I was listening to Gon talking to Tonpa again when there is a scream from behind us.

Ahh, it is the rude person from earlier and the person who looks like a clown. Ahh, his arms seem to be disappearing into flowers. How strange but it's pretty. He probably should have apologized when he bumped into the other person.

"Oh, how peculiar...His arms seem to have become flower petals. No smoke and mirrors here. Do take care. When you bump into someone, you really should apologize."

He doesn't seem to be the type of person that you mess with. He has a lot of blood lust that he keeps hidden most of the time until he lets it out.

"That psychopath is back again."

Ahh so he took the exam before, he must have failed it by killing someone when he wasn't supposed to.

"Again?"

"Does that mean he took last year's exam?"

"Number 44, Hisoka, the magician. Last year, he was a virtual lock to pass the test, until he all but killed an examiner he didn't like."

"A-And they're still allowing him to retake the exam this year?"

"Of course. Every year, the examiners and test content change, and the examiners are the ones who choose the new content. The devil himself could pass if that were the examiner's determination. That's just how the Hunter Exam works. Anyway, no one likes him. You should stay away, too."

"He looks dangerous. That much is for sure."

"I truly don't care."

"Hikari-Nee?"

"As long as he stays away from Gon, but if he tries hurting Gon that is another thing entirely."

Ahh whoops, I think my eyes just flashed red. Hopefully, no one saw that.

Kurapika's POV
Did her eyes just flash scarlet red? No, I must be imagining things. Unless she is a Kurta too? But then why isn't her hair blonde? Did something happen to make it change color? Was she there when the clan was killed? How did she escape? I'll have to keep an eye on her and see if her eye change to red anymore or if it was a trick of the light.

Hikari's POV
I hope no one saw that. It would cause problems if someone else in this room did.

"Oh, right...A little something to mark our acquaintance. How about it?"

"Oh, appreciated. As it happened, I was thirsty..."

"Thanks!"

"Thank you."

"Best of luck to all of us!"

I open the juice that he gave us and caught a smell of something inside. Smelling more deeply I could smell the trace of strong laxatives. Ahh, so that is his game, is it? Not like it will work. Gon will take one sip and spit it out. I did make him learn all the different herbs flavors and scents just in case. And of course I am immune to all poisons due to the snake venom and phoenix tears still being in my blood stream.

Ahh, I knew Gon would pick it up.

"Tonpa-San, this juice must be expired. It tastes funny."

"Seriously! That was close!"

Kurapika and I poured the juice on the floor while Leorio had some in his mouth and spat it out.

"H-Huh? That's strange... I'm very sorry! I didn't realize the juice had gone bad."

"It's okay. You don't have to apologize. Is your stomach okay?"

"Y-Yes... I'm fine."

"Hikari-Nee had me sample all kinds of mountain grasses and plants. So I can usually taste when something's bad."

"R-Really? That's amazing...Sorry about that again. I'll see you around. "

"Talkative old man."

Kurapika's POV
While pouring the juice out of the can I could feel a poke in my side. I look to my left to see that it was Hikari.

"Hikari, is something the matter?"

"Kurapika, there was Laxatives in the juice. You didn't swallow any of the juice did you?"

Laxatives? That explains why Gon said the juice taste funny.

"No Hikari, I didn't drink any. I take it this was the reason why you had Gon get used to the different grasses and plants?"

"Yeah, I am naturally immune to poisons due to something in my blood. But Gon is too trusting of strangers. So I had to make sure that he would be able to tell if someone thing is poisoned. Due to the funny taste, he wouldn't eat or drink it. It seems to have work and a bonus he doesn't lose his innocence like I had too."

"I see."

"Kurapika, could you help me keep an eye on Tonpa? I don't think he is quite done trying to fail rookies. I heard some of the other people talking about Tonpa and they called him Tonpa, the rookie crusher."

"Of course, I will."

I was caught off guard when once again she kisses me on my cheek. Is she really a Kurta?

"Thank you, Kurapika."

I was about to ask if she was a Kurta when there is a loud ringing sound coming from at the front. When the wall came up there was a man with purple hair and curly mustache wearing a blue suit.

"I apologize for the wait. The entry period for Hunter applicants has ended. The Hunter Exam will now begin! A final caution. If you are short on luck or ability, you could very well end up seriously injured or even dead. Those who accept the risks, please follow me. Otherwise, please exit via the elevator behind you."

No one leaves.

"Very well. All 405 applicants will participate in Phase One."

"Of course, no one turned around and left. I'd hoped a few might withdraw."

The people walking in front of us have started running.

"W-What?"

"The people in front started running."

"He's picked up the pace."

"I neglected to introduce myself. I am Satotz, the Phase One examiner. I shall lead you to the exam's Second Phase."

"Second Phase? What about Phase One?"

"It has already commenced. You must follow me to Phase Two. This is the exam's First Phase."

"Follow you? That's it?"

"Yes. I cannot tell you where or when you must arrive. You need to follow me."

"I see how it is."

"This test is weird, right Hikari-Nee?"

"Hmm, yeah a little bit."

"I expect it's an endurance test. Fine by me. I'll be right behind you!"

But there is the mental stress of not knowing how far we'll have to run. He's also testing our mental fortitude.
