3rd person P.O.V

A man with large amounts of needles in his face walked briskly to follow the instructor. His face rattled as he moved away from the other competitors. Soon he was able to see his goal. Killua was skateboarding and seemed to be having a very easy time keeping up with everyone. That pleased the man. He frowned when he saw Killua start to talk to another boy that looked to be around his age. Killua looked very curious and the man knew what he was about to do. It would go against everything he was taught.

Killua flipped off his skateboard and landed perfectly. He started to run next to the boy and his two companions that went unnoticed by the man beforehand. He started to talk to the boy. From the distance, the man couldn't hear what was being said, but he already saw what was going to happen.

"Illumi~ Are you okay? You seem angry." Hisoka stared at the man with needles who looked nothing like the man from the roof. His appearance had been completely changed.

Illumi glanced over at Hisoka with a frown. "I told you to call me Gittarackur while I was in this disguise." They both continued to run beside each other and said nothing. They could see the light at the end of the very long corridor. Neither increased their speed, but they felt a large breeze come from behind them. They looked back at the exit and saw Killua and the other boy standing there arguing over who got there first.

"Hmmm~ Killua is off limits to me, but that other boy...He'll grow into such a strong boy. I want to fight him." Illumi knew Hisoka was smirking. He was most likely staring perversely at the young boy too. He could never understand why Hisoka liked little boys that much, but that was his business.

"As long as you don't involve Killu I don't care either way."

"Oh~ How fun, I can't wait to test him~" Hisoka narrowed his eyes on the boy and knew he would provide him a lot of entertainment. This hunter exam might actually turn out interesting for once.

Once everyone was out of the corridor, the examiner named Satotz started to explain when someone came out from behind a wall yelling that he wasn't the real examiner. Some people were confused and didn't know who to believe. Cards flew at both of the examiners. One was able to catch the cards, the other was not. The one that did not was a man-faced ape.

"Examiners are hunters selected by the committee to perform this duty without pay~ Any hunter bearing the title we seek, would have been able to block that attack~" Hisoka gave a creepy smile and closed his eyes. It was painstakingly obvious that Hisoka wanted to provoke the examiner. He didn't even bother hiding his bloodlust.

"I will take that as a compliment. However, if you do that again, for any reason, you will be disqualified."

"Of course~" Hisoka opened his eyes and sensed that someone was staring at him. He looked in the general direction of the gaze, and saw that boy there. He grinned and saw the boy look scared.

"Now, you will encounter things like that regularly in this swamp. Please be sure to stick close to me." With that, Satotz started to walk away, into the fog that surrounded the swamp. All the applicants started to run after him, except for some.

Hisoka started to slowly walk in the opposite direction of the examiner, and a group of men brandishing weapons followed him. It was obvious they were planning to attack him. Their aim was to kill the magician, so he could never take the exam again.

Hisoka led the group to an opening, and they quickly surrounded him.

"This will be the last time you take the hunter exam Hisoka!" A random man holding a spear yelled out.

"Yeah!" All of the men were about to rush forward to attack, but they all fell to the ground. Hisoka grinned and held up a card covered in the blood of the ones who tried to kill him. He did a quick magic trick and the card disappeared. He turned toward two familiar people. He couldn't quite remember who they were though.

He walked toward them while smiling. The blonde one shouted run and they ran in different directions. They were being cautious. That meant they at least had some common sense. Hisoka sighed. He was so bored of all the dull ones. They couldn't even start to sedate his bloodlust. Maybe he could go find that boy. He would provide entertainment.

Hisoka heard a war cry and saw one of the two running at him shirtless with a stick. He would be interesting. Hisoka moved quickly out the way and the man struck the afterimage. He had fallen on the ground and was about to get back up.

Oh well Hisoka thought as he reached out his hand. I guess this one won't provide me fun after all. He was about to finish off the man when something small hit his face. His head turned from the impact, but he quickly turned back around to see who had the guts to actually hit him. A smile lit up his face as he saw the boy earlier. There was finally someone worth fighting. Hisoka walked over, ready to test the boy.

"A fishing rod~ What an interesting weapon. Let me see it~" Hisoka held out his hand to the boy as he walked toward him. He noticed the boys hands slightly clutch around the rod when he came closer. That meant it was important to him. It would be so easy to steal it right now, but it wasn't the right time. He had to wait for the boy to ripen.

The man who Hisoka had been about to kill attacked Hisoka from behind. Hisoka disappeared again and hit the man in the neck. He fell unconscious and hit the ground with a light thud. The boy got angry at that. He charged at Hisoka, swinging the fishing pole. Every time he tried though, Hisoka disappeared. The boy jumped back and tried to gain some distance, but wherever he went, Hisoka was already there. He couldn't escape.

The boy kicked up the sand and tried to surprise Hisoka from behind. He saw a hand in his vision and he was lifted into the air. He couldn't breathe. He started to struggle, but it was useless. His vision went black, and he was about to pass out. Hisoka saw this and quickly released the boy. He couldn't have him dying so soon. The boy started to cough.

"What's your name, boy~"

The boy glared at the man in front of him. "Gon" Hisoka bent his knees so he was right in front of Gon.

"You can make it back on your own, correct?" Gon hesitantly nodded and watched as Leorio was being lifted up by Hisoka. "I'll play with you later. Gon~" With that Hisoka walked into the fog.

"Gon!" The blonde-haired man from before ran back toward his friend. "Are you okay?! Where is Leorio!"

"I'm fine Kurapika. Hisoka took him to the start of the second exam I think." Gon smiled at his friend. "Let's go! Leorio has a really strong cologne. I can track him down!"

Kurapika sweatdropped. "How is it possible to smell someone from so far away?" He shook his head and followed Gon into the forest. What other choice did he have that would work? They both walked into the mist, hoping they would arrive at the right place.

Killua was already at the exam site, waiting for Gon. It would be crappy if he failed, but it wasn't like Killua wanted to be friends with him or anything like that. He looked around at the other people who were at the exam site. Hisoka had put Leorio up against a tree and was standing next to the needle guy. That person was so weird, he kept on staring at Killua. He was constantly looking in the boy's direction and smiling. Killua hoped he didn't have to deal with a stalker, he already had enough people trying to keep tabs on him since he was part of the Zoldyck family.

Killua heard faint voices and recognized them as Gon and Killua. "Oi Gon," he yelled, while running toward the boy. "What took you so long!" Gon grinned and stuck out his tongue.

"I had a run in with Hisoka, sorry for making you wait."

"Wait Hisoka! How are you still alive!" Killua needed to know how Gon was able to escape Hisoka. It was important information on if there was a way to beat the clown.

"He was about to kill me, but he didn't. He said he wanted me to grow worthy enough to kill." Gon looked at the ground. He didn't really want to die, especially by someone like Hisoka. Killua and Gon continued to talk, not noticing Illumi watching them.

Illumi stared at his brother and the other boy. What was so special about him? What was so appealing about the boy? Even Hisoka was interested in him. He didn't appear to have a strong bloodline, but it was obvious that he had great strength. Maybe it was simply the need to fight someone. That was probably it. Killua didn't really want to make friends, he wanted to have someone to fight.

Illumi was so busy reassuring himself, he didn't notice the bloodlust that was escaping his body. Killua turned toward him. While he still didn't know his true identity, he knew this person was going to try something weird eventually. He would just have to always be ready to fight him. Even if it was in the worse scenario possible, he would still have to be ready to defend himself against the man.

Gon hadn't seemed to notice, so Killua pretended to not notice the bloodlust and continued talking to Gon. He followed the man's presence to make sure he wasn't getting any closer. He was painfully aware of every breath that he took. Every step made him a little more paranoid. Something was completely wrong, and he just couldn't pinpoint what it was. He would figure it out eventually.

The doors opened and the applicants saw Satotz. "This is the start of the second exam. Do you're best." Satotz walked back into the swamp. All the applicants stared at the doors before they all braced themselves for the second exam
