So for leaving this story hanging for so long, I'm still not quite sure if i want to finish it or not, sorry about that guys. I decided to at least post another chapter since I really have nothing better to do other than update my stories since my bestfriend dumped me as a friend the other day (there goes years on top of years down the drain -.-)
So yeah, thank you to all of you who reviewed and to everyone who was a constant reader of my story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Hunter x Hunter... If I did, well lets just say nobody would know what is cause its just that awesome to share... ;P
I"m thinking about rewriting this, what do you guys think? It's been about 2 years since I've worked on this story, so my writing style has probably changed a bit. So yeah, just read the chapter and let me know what you think.
Chapter 11
The forty-five hours stuck in a room with Gon, Killua, Kurapika, Leorio, and Tonpa were some of the most boring I've ever lived through. My fun filled bag had a hole in the bottom so all of my entertainment was left outside the room and I couldn't get to it! And the only things to do inside the room were stare a blank TV screen, and look at a little fake bird.
Kurapika spend his time reading some dictionary, and Leorio and Tonpa slept a good two-thirds of the time. Gon and Killua played rock, paper, scissors – but I lost of the first round so I just laid out and leant against Killua's back to sleep.
Yeah, that lasted a whole seven seconds before him and Gon found something else to do – leaving me sprawled out on the grounded where Killua dumped me.
By the time the forty-five hours were through I was just about ready to jump off a cliff to ease my boredom! So when the clock dinged and the door unlocked you could bet you're favorite candy that you would never let anyone touch that I was the first one out of that room! I bolted so fast that I was already dancing around in the hallway by the time everyone filled out the door.
"Come on old man!" I taunted Killua and his white hair. "What's taking you so long? Don't tell me you pulled a muscle or something."
Killua scowled and threw Kurapika's book at me. "Just cause I don't act like a hyperactive monkey does not make me an old man."
"Oh course it does, we're kids. We're supposed to be acting like hyperactive animals that jump off everything and everyone - that's just a way for us to find entertainment.
"Shut up," Leorio moaned, clutching his head. "Ayan, you're voice is giving me a headache, you haven't stopped talking for hours, just shut up for five minutes please..."
"I can't!" I yelled, dancing a victory dance inside my head because of his wince. "We need to move move move! We only have a couple hours left and we aren't even close to the bottom of this tower yet!"
Kurapika was everyone's saving grace, "Ayan is right, it'd be in our best interest to get moving now. Like she said, we only have a couple hours left, and we all know what happens if we don't make it to the bottom of this tower in the allotted time."
Gon and Killua then took the initiative to shout that we were just going to go whatever way we pleased and took off running. I took off after them a second later, laughing all the while at Leorio's pained face. He probably wanted to take a another nap.
"Left!"
"Right!"
"Right!"
"Left!"
"Right!"
Gon, Killua, and I took turns calling out what way we going to go, and in the end we got to a room full of weapons with two doors. A door with an X and a door with an O.
"Looks like we're finally here, the last door." Killua mused.
"Yeah, but what're the rules." I muttered, looking at each of the doors. "I'm getting a bad feeling about this."
Just then a voice filtered in from above us, from all around us... actually I can't tell where it filtered in from. But the voice was telling us the rules, "I'm glad you could make it to this final door. Again this is a majority rules vote. O is a long path that will you to the finish. X is a short path, but only four of you may partake. If you so choose the X, shorter path the door will not open until two of you are chained to the wall. They must stay there until the time is up."
"Well of course I'm choosing O then!" Leorio shouted.
The voice spoke again, drawling out his worlds. "Oh and I must tell you. The long path will take at least forty-five hours to complete. The short path will take about three minuets."
Leorio was the first to speak, "I gotta say, I'm going to choose X, and I'm not getting chained to any wall either." He gestured towards the weapons lining the walls. "This examiner though of just about everything. There are weapons here to suit almost everyone in the world. It's too bad that we were placed in here together. I do consider you guys as friends," He paused and glanced at Tonpa, "Well everyone but you anyway. Im sorry it's come to this, but I came here to get a Hunters License, not make friends."
"Leorio..." Kurapika muttered. Probably upset that his friend was willing to discard their newly formed friendship.
"Well I'm pressing O." Gon said. Determined. "We've already come this far together, I think we should stick together right until the very end. I know we only have a small chance of taking it, but it's a chance I'm willing to take."
There were a few muffled agreements from Kurapika and Leorio, but I stayed silent as did Tonpa. Killua was the one to try and talk logic to the optimistic boy.
"Gon, get serious. We have less than one hour left now. It's impossible to make a forty-five hour journey in less than one. We don't have any choice, we obviously have to take the shorter path. The only question left is how to decide who gets to move on and who has to stay." Killua said. "And I don't have any intention of giving up now."
"Unless someone willingly stays behind, we're going to have to fight each other." There would be holes in the ground if my eyes had any type of beam sprouting from them, I have yet to look up from the two stone tiles on the ground. "That's what you're trying to say isn't it?"
I finally raised my head to find everyone staring at me. "What, you were all thinking it. Who'd be the easiest to pick off, who doesn't deserve to go, who is forming a pair with who?" I shook my head, my cyan colored hair falling from my hood. "If we went by who each other the longest then obviously the four who should move on is Leorio, Gon, Kurapika, and Killua, ne. That leaves Tonpa and I here, so we can try again next year.
"If we went by who would form pairs then theres Gon and Killua who would pair together. Gon wouldn't have the heart to fight his best friend, nor his other friends, Kurapika or Leorio, however Killua wouldn't have any issue picking anybody off who got in his way. Kurapika and Leorio would be the other pair, as they are closer to each other than they are with either me or Tonpa. And neither of them would have the heart to fight Gon, so that again leaves Tonpa and I as the one's chained to the wall.
"If we went by who deserves to go on, well… That would be hard to decide because everyone here thinks that their reason is the best. Well, besides Tonpa maybe. And If we went by who would be the easiest to pick off, well I can imagine who you all think it's be. It's not Killua, that's for sure. He can puck our heart from our chest before we can even blink, so nobody would provoke him. Gon, as naive as he is, isn't a weakling, and we all know it. Kurapika, as he's proven isn't a pushover, and his goal would be enough to push him towards success. Leorio, I'm actually not quite sure how he fights, but given the fact that he's a grown man, he's stronger than me, although I'm not quiet sure how he'd fair against Tonpa. Tonpa himself, we'll he's… He's Tonpa, so everyone here has some type of grudge against him.
"I'm obviously one of the weaker ones here… However, If any of you think I'm staying here chained to some wall, then you'll be in for some disappointment. I may not be stronger than you, but I can bet that I'm a more accustomed to fighting in these circumstances, and I wont lose. With that said. I'll choose whatever the majority is picking."
I took a moment to glare at each and every one of them, making sure to get my point across, that I refuse to stay here chained to some wall.
End... Cliffhanger... kinda :)
Read and Review, please. Sorry if I got anything wrong based off previous chapters, I haven't worked on this story in over two years, so I'm a little rusty on what's been said already and what hasn't.
