It had been a long time since she'd first come here.

Okamirei stared at the testing gate. The first time she was here, Gon had attempted to climb over it to get to his friend, Killua. After meeting Mike, he had a change in heart, and decided to do the training. The other two joined in as well. Deciding to train with them until she didn't have to use her power to open the gate, she had joined in too.

She excelled really fast, since she could already lift a lot of weight. The others, however, went pretty slowly. It had taken a while, but today was the day. She knew. Leorio and Kurapika both pushed, but the door didn't budge.

She glanced over where Gon was taking off the cloth that held his arm. She watched as he walked over and placed his hands on the doors.

"Hey, Gon, let us do this. You should be resting up your arm!" Leorio exclaimed. Gon shook his head.

"It's all healed," he replied. The other two laughed, then the three got ready.

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

All three pushed. The doors opened, slowly. Okamirei smiled as she watched them open the doors fully. They fell on the ground, panting and sweating. But they were smiling at their success. Suddenly, the doors started to close.

"Okamirei!" Kurapika yelled. She frowned as she ran forward, but the doors closed before she got there.

"Shit!" She heard come from the other side.

"It's alright!" Okamirei yelled back. She placed her hands on the door, and with a small push without using any power, the doors opened. The other three stood, shocked, on the other side. She walked through, smiling. "OK, let's go." She started forward, and the others quickly caught up with her.


"I cannot let you pass. If you pass this line, I will have to remove you by force."

While walking along, the group had come across a little girl. Gon had decided to take her on by himself, but he was totally getting beat up. Okamirei, bored, sat back, head on hand. This reminded her of his fight with baldy.

"Stop him! He is your friend!" The three of them remained emotionless.

"Why… We only came to see our friend… We only came to see Killua… So why? Why do we have to do all this!"

SMASH! Gon's fist flung through the stone pillar. The girl froze.

"Hmm? My foot crossed the line. You didn't hit me?" The girl didn't reply. A smile tugged on Okamirei's lips. "You're not like Mike. You can do whatever you want to hide your feelings, you still have a heart. When I said Killua, your eyes softened for a fraction." The girl started to cry.

"Please… save Killua-san!"

PAN!

The girl dropped to the ground. Everyone rushed over to the girl. Okamirei stood, then turned to the trees and snarled.

"Really… What could the employee have told you?" Two figures came through the trees. One, the taller one with the hat and mechanical eye, looked right at her. "It really seems that we handle Killua roughly. You know, it really is very rude to come and behave childishly here." She then looked at Gon.

"You're Gon, aren't you? We heard about you from Illumi. We told Killua you were in the domain three-weeks ago. I'm going to repeat word for word what Killua requested me to tell you." The woman smiled.

"It's a real pleasure for me that you came… but… right now I can't meet you… Sorry." Okamirei snarled, hair and fur bristling. She really didn't like this woman. "Keep your dog under control, will you?" Her nails started to sharpen and her eyes flashed a dull grey red.

"Rei." Her hands turned into fists. "Okamirei." Okamirei blinked slowly, then relaxed as she turned away from the woman and looked at Gon.

"Sorry."

The woman suddenly looked panicked, and, after talking to herself, ran off. The little girl followed shortly.


They had been walking for a while. The girl, who was walking thanks to help from Gon, was leading them to the butler's mansion.

"Are you sure I can't help?" Okamirei asked.

"Yeah. I got her." Gon replied. That wasn't what I meant, but...

They soon arrived at the mansion. "This is it." The girl said. As they reached the house, a group of butlers stood out in front, waiting. They bowed.

"Good evening," then they led the group inside. "We should tend to your wounds first, then talk."

After Gon had been completely healed up, the four sat on the couch facing the head butler.

They would play a game. A game where they had to guess where the coin was. They each had one out, and if they all got an out...

The man threw the coin in the air, then flung his hands all around. After a second he stopped, then held out two fists. "Which hand?"

"Right," Leorio said.

"Left," Okamirei, Gon, and Kurapika replied.

The man opened his hands. Left.

Leorio was out. The man once again threw the coin in the air, flinging his hands all around. After a second he stopped, then, once again, held out his two fists. "Which hand?"

"Right," Kurapika said. He and Gon exchanged glances.

"Left," Gon replied.

"Left," Okamirei agreed.

The man opened his hands. Left. The man threw the coin once again in the air. "Wait!" The man caught the coin, then looked at Gon. Okamirei glanced at him too.

He took a knife and slit his eye. Okamirei Stared at him.

Seconds later, his eye was healed enough and the game continued. The butler stood, then two of his buddies helped him shuffle the coin around. After a while, the three froze and held out their fists. "Which hand?" Gon stared hard at them while Okamirei descretely sniffed the air.

"The guy behind us," the two said. They were right.

"Gon! Plus Reolio, and Kurapika!" He looked at Okamirei with a confused look on his face. She nodded a hello.

"Leorio!" Leorio said annoyed.

"Plus?" Kurapika questioned.

"Killua!" Gon rushed at him.

"Long time no see! You managed to get here but you should look at your face!"

"Yours doesn't look so great either!" The girl giggled as she stood and stretched.

"Who's the... dog girl?" The slight smile on her face turned to a frown.

"She's a wolf. Her name is Okamirei!" Killua raised an eyebrow at the girl.

"But your friends call me Rei. You can too, if you want." A recognition came to Killua's face.

"Oh, hey, you're that girl with the cloak..." The girl nodded. He turned to the head butler. "We should leave ne? Because my mother wouldn't let me leave if I stay here…" He looked at the butlers. "So see ya, Gotoh! Don't listen to my mom whatever she says."

"I understand. Have a good trip." The man bowed. The five started to leave when Gotoh stopped Okamirei and Gon. "You are very good at that game... But let me ask you if you can catch this one." He flung the coin in the air, then simply caught it with speed. "Which hand?"

"Huh? Left." Gon said. Okamirei's eyes told her left too, but her nose told her differently.

"Would you like the real answer or the literal answer?" She asked. He smiled slightly, then showed his hands. Right. According to her nose the one he'd shown them was in his left sleeve... But she said nothing as Gon was called by Killua and he ran off. Gotoh bowed slightly at Okamirei, then she left as well.

The five left out the house and headed back to the entrance. Okamirei walked behind them, watching them. She smiled. Those two are so cute. She thought, staring at the two younger boys. She took a deep breath, smelling the air. She was hungry again. She continued to watch them before she slipped out, running off. I'll meet them at the entrance.
