Chapter 2

We finally made it to Dolle Harbor. It was hard after what happened between Leorio and Kurpaika, including the storm. I looked around Dolle Harbor than look to see the captain and Gon talking. I walked over to them to see the captain smiling at me.

"Thanks for the ride. It was fun," I commented shaking hands with him.

"I had fun, too," Captain laughed, "Right! As a token of my appreciation, I'll give you some advice."

"Advice?" Gon questioned.

The captain looked to his left pointing up on the mountain, "Look. See that big cedar tree on the hilltop?"

"Uh-huh," Gon replies as I nodded my head.

"You should make you way there first," Captain says, "It's a shortcut to the exam site."

"A shortcut?" Gon asked excited.

I kept looking at the tree that was on top of that very hill.

"We'll do that, Captain!" Gon shouts smiling running over to Leorio and Kurapika.

I look at Gon to look at the captain, "Thanks..."

I was walking away from him but the captain shouted at me, "Hana!" I turned to look at him, "When I mention Chrollo Lucifer, why did you suddenly had that sad then fear expression on your face?"

My eyes widen as I look down at the floor, "Because..." My hands were in fist as I faced him my back, "He's the one that told me about my father."

"Huh?" The captain asked surprise.

I didn't answer him as I ran after Gon not bothering to look at him again. The captain watches Hana's back but had a look of relief yet sadness in his eyes.

"So... he wanted to make Ging suffer," The captain says to himself walking back up the ship but look at Hana's back one more time, "Good luck, Hana..."

Gon, Kurapika, Leorio, and I were looking straight to see a map that can lead us to the tree.

"Huh... That's strange," Leorio says making Gon look at him confused.

"Why?" Gon asked.

"According to the notice I received, the exam is supposedly being held somewhere in Zaban City," Leorio replies then lock at the map, "Right now, we're here. That tree is in the opposite direction."

"Perhaps you misheard him?" Kurapika asked as I continue to stare at the map.

"No, he told us to head toward that cedar tree," Gon replied pointing at the tree on the map.

"Two different information, huh?" I looked at Leorio then remembered the captain's words, "I'm taking... the captain's words," I walked pass Gon and Kurapika heading to the tree, "Come on Gon. We don't want to wait much longer here do we?"

"Okay!" Gon shouted running to me.

We kept walking until we heard feet moving behind us to see Kurapika following us. I looked at him nodding my head then looked straight to lift my hand up showing five.

"Hana?" Gon tilted his head and so did Kurapika.

"What are you doing?" Kurapika asked.

I didn't say anything as my 5 hands went to 4, 3, 2, 1...

"Hana! Gon! Kurapika!" We hear Leorio shout from all the way behind.

We walked up the mountain to continuously hear Leorio start making excuse but we didn't say anything. We walked up far to mountain to see an abandoned town.

"This is a creepy place..." Leorio says looking around, "I don't see a single person."

"No, there are plenty here," Gon says.

"He's right," I looked around hearing noises all around.

Leorio looked at me and Gon confused when suddenly doors were opening. The door opens to show a people with mask and an elderly woman right in front of us. The people with a mask and white cloak and instruments with them, and one crow.

"W-What's with this freak show?" Leorio asked looking at them.

"Doki, Doki." The woman says.

"Doki, Doki?" Leorio asked confused.

"Doki, Doki..." The woman says again.

"Doki, Doki." Leorio says gulping.

"Doki Doki two-choice quiz!" The woman suddenly shouts making us look at her with wide eyes, "You boys and girl are headed for that tree on the hill, correct? To reach that tree, you must pass through this town."

"Huh?" We asked looking at her.

"I shall administer a single-question quiz," The woman says.

"H-Hold on!" Leorio shouts out, "What's going on here?"

"You'll have five seconds to state your answer," The woman replies not answering Leorio's question, "Give the wrong answer, and you're disqualified. You'll have to give up on taking this year's Hunter exam."

"I see..." Kurapika sighs in relief, "Then this is part of the Hunter Exam."

"I see how it is," Leorio says relief as well, "I happen to be a quiz expert."

I sweat-drop looking at his over-ecstatic confidence.

Isn't this a hunter quiz...?

"Wait, one question!" Leorio shouted.

"Your answer will be either the number 1 or 2," The woman replies. "Any other answer will be considered incorrect."

"Hold on!" Leorio shouts making us to look at him, "All three of us share one question? So if one of them answers incorrectly, I'm disqualified, too?"

"As if that would happen!" Kurapika replies crossing his arms. Gon smiles while I sigh, "What scared me is the high likelihood of the vice versa happening."

"I'm just worried of Leorio blowing it for us," I commented.

"What was that?" Leorio asked looking at me and Kurapika angry.

"But you know..." Gon spoke up making us turn to look at him, "This way's easier, since only one of us needs to know the answer."

"By us, you mean mostly me, Kurapika, and Leorio, and not you?" I asked looking at him. Gon sweat-drop rubbing his head, "If it's a math question then we know your no good at that."

"Haha... Yeah, I'm not good at quizzes," Gon rubs the back of his head making look down sadly.

"That isn't something to be proud of, Gon," I sweat-drop like Leorio and Kurapika did.

"Hey, there. Hurry it up," Someone shouted making us to look at the stranger, "Or else I'll answer the question first."

He looks like a gullible person that thinks that he's better than anyone else. I looked at Kurapika to see him look back at me.

"Who are you-"

"Go ahead," I cut off Leorio making him look at me with wide eyes.

"What?!" Leorio asked.

I looked at Leorio to have a calm expression on my face, "If we see an example we can know what the questions are ahead of time. It will be better and we might have a good shot in solving the questions."

Leorio blinked finally understanding, "Oh... All right, we'll let him go first."

Kurapika and Gon agreed having us scoot back to allow him walk further.

"Here is your question..." The woman says, "Evil villains have captured your mother and lover. You can only save one," My eyes widen listening to this question, "Select 1 for your mother, or 2 for your lover. Which will you save?"

Everyone gasp hearing this question.

"H-How is this even a quiz?" Leorio asked looking angry.

I repeat the question one more time in my head to have my eyes widen.

It's not a quiz...

We heard one buzz from the guy looking at him with wide eyes, "The answer is 1," He replies.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" The woman asked.

"Because you can't replace your mother. But you can find another lover," The man replied.

"You may pass," The woman says saying behind her.

"What?" Leorio shouts.

The man looks at us with a smirk, "You just have to tell the old lady what she wants to hear. Adios," He runs behind the crowd.

"Hey, now! That's all bull!" Leorio shouts getting angry, "How was that the right answer?"

"Leorio," I shouted his name but not too loudly. Leorio looked at me confused, "You need to calm down. Nothing good comes from you when your angry."

Leorio clicked his tongue calming down at little, "I'm done. I'm finding a different route."

"It's too late!" The woman shouted making us look at her, "Refuse to take the quiz, and you're disqualified."

Leorio got even more angry, "Th-That's just ridiculous!" Leorio shouts, "Different people would expect different answers! There is no right answer!"

My eyes and Kurapika's eyes were wide as we looked at each other. We nodded our heads to look at Leorio.

"Leorio!"

"Wait!" The woman cut us off. We turned to look at her with wide eyes, "Not another word from you two. Say anything but the answer, and you're immediately disqualified."

I looked at her with wide eyes but shut my eyes nodding my head hoping, no praying, that Leorio will understand.

"Here is your question..." The woman says, "Your son and daughter have been kidnapped. You can only rescue one. Select 1 for your son, or 2 for your daughter. Which will you rescue?"

I open my eyes to see Leorio gritting his teeth becoming even more angry. He starts walking over to a big block of wood.

"Five," The woman says, "Four," I looked at Leorio with wide eyes as I step forward watching him, "Three. Two," Leorio starts walking forward and so did I but I kept watching him, "One," Nobody answer, "Buzz. Time's up."

Leorio jumps up making me move fast in front of her. I narrowed my eyes Leorio looking at him calmly as he see with me with wide eyes. He stops from the block of wood to my head as Kurapika was in front of me.

"Don't stop me, Kurapika, Hana!" Leorio shouts looking at angry at Kurapika, "I won't be satisfied until I've taught this hag a lesson!"

"Calm down, Leorio!" Kurapika shouted.

"How am I supposed to calm down?" Leorio asked angry.

While I sigh hearing Kurapika trying to make Leorio understand that we pass. I looked at the woman to see her stare at my eyes.

"Are you okay?" I asked forgetting that I was knelling down.

I stand up to see her look at me calmly but a smile was on her face, "Yes. Thank you."

"Good," I jump down to see Leorio looking at me. I turned to look at the woman, "May you show us the right path?"

The woman smile, "Of course," She stand up walking over to the doors that are opening, "This is the right path." The doors had a little light all the way to the end, "This leads directly to the tree. Walk two hours, and you'll reach the top."

"Oh, so that's what this was about..." Leorio says sighing.

"A couple lives in the cabin beneath that tree," The woman says.

I look at Gon to see him in deep thought as I smile.

He figured it out...

"They serve as Navigators," I heard the woman say, "If you meet their standards, I believe that they will guide you to the exam site."

Leorio let go of the block of wood to walk over to the woman, "Gran, I'm sorry for my rudeness."

"Don't be. I don't mind," The woman says, "I do this job because I enjoy meeting people like you," The woman looks at Leorio with a smile, "Do your best to become a good Hunter."

The Leorio smile nodding his head when Gon sigh deeply siting on the ground.

"It's no use. I can't think of an answer," Gon says.

Kurapika and Leorio were laughing.

"You were still trying to find the answer?" Leorio asked.

"I actually understand why," I replied making them look at me, "every hunter goes through trials."

"And even a quiz like this can become real one day," Gon finishes having Kurapika's and Leorio's eyes widen.

Kurapika and Leorio looked at me and Gon realizing now.

We nodded our heads towards the woman waving good-bye to walk down the right path. We arrived outside the path to have Leorio walk behind us very slowly.

"'Walk two hours,' she said?" Leorio complains making me sigh for this is the hundreds time he complained, "It was two hours, two hours ago!"

We look at the beware of the beast sign to hear more complains from Leorio. I couldn't help but get irritated hoping the beast could eat him. I look straight to know see the cabin the woman was talking about in front of us. We walked to the cabin knocking on the door hearing no reply.

"Hell? Anyone home?" Leorio asked.

"Are they out?" Gon asked.

A shiver runs down my spine, "I don't have good feeling about this."

Leorio slowly open the door showing us a bests holding a woman and a man on the floor injured. Gon, Kurapika, Leorio, and I grabbed our weapons from the beast.

"It's a Magical Beast!" Leorio shouts.

"A Magical Beast?" Gon asked.

"A transforming Magical Beast, the Kiriko!" Kurapika explains, "They can take human form!"

My eyes widen looking at Kurapika then look at the woman in his hands, "Human form..."

"That's an extremely intelligent creature!" Kurapika continues as I step back a little.

"There's a woman in his arms!" Gon shouted alert.

"And the guy on the floor needs medical attention..." Leorio says mentioning the man on the floor.

The Kiriko jump to the woman taking the woman with him. Kurapika, Gon, and I chase after the Kiriko while Leorio watch over the man. I jumped from tree to tree along with Gon behind me. Kurapika was running at a fast pace on the ground.

"Kiriko! Let her go!" Gon shouts.

The Kiriko smirked looking at Gon, "Take her from me, if you can!"

Gon stops jumping to continue walking with Kurapika. I shook my head looking at the Kiriko in front of me to extend my sword. My eyes widen to see the Kiriko dodge it making my eyes widen. My sword turn blue as my speed increase to now stand in front of the Kiriko.

"Let her go..." I spoke making him smile.

He jumped up really high, almost too high for my liking. My hands were in fist as I try my best to jump as high as I can like him but failed. I use the blue power to increase my jump but that only increase my jump.

Damn...

I tighten my hold on the sword to feel a power going through me. My eyes widen as I look down at the sword showing a very, very light... yellow. My eyes widen when I looked up at the Kiriko smiling down at me ready to attack. I narrowed my eyes having the yellow color on my sword trying to jump to see that I jumped as high as the Kiriko.

"Let her go!" I shouted smacking the Kiriko on the forehead.

The Kiriko drop the girl to have Kurapika catch her and Gon to stand next to me. Kiriko landed on a tree branch glaring at us.

"Stupid kid. You'll pay for this!" Kiriko shouted jumping from branch to branch.

Gon and I looked at each other nodding our head following the Kiriko. We kept following the Kiriko until we suddenly lost him in the forest. I closed my eyes feeling the any hint of where disturbance in the forest. I heard rustling to open my eyes seeing the Kiriko moving. Gon and I move to branch to branch but I noticed something was different from this Kiriko.

The way it jumped branch to branch was more graceful and careful than before. It kept jumping until hiding in a bush that I stop at another branch but didn't notice Gon with me.

"Gon!" I shouted to look down at the cliff seeing him climbing by his fishing rod.

I sigh in relief when suddenly a paw was over my mouth pulling me back. I put my hand over the paw to here the Kiriko chuckle behind me.

"You did a wonderful job trying to find me this far," The Kiriko spoke making my eyes widen.

This voice didn't sound at all like the one before either, it was more... feminine. The Kiriko's paw was now around my throat trying to chock me.

"You can't scream for help," The Kiriko says.

"I... I don't need to," I replied. The Kiriko look at me with wide eyes hesitating on chocking me, "I didn't do anything to you so I don't understand why you would attack me." I looked at the Kiriko calmly.

"W-What?" The Kiriko says with wide eyes. The Kiriko let go of my throat to make me look at... her, "How... How did you know it I didn't attack you?"

"Well... your voices are different, the way you both jump from branch to branch, and..." I look at her faces to see them different too, "Your faces are different."

The Kiriko started chuckling before becoming into full laughter. The Kiriko started laughing when suddenly Gon started smiling beside me, and another Kiriko was beside the other one.

We were now standing in front of the cabins along with Leorio and Kurapika behind us with the fake wife and husband.

"Hmm. How many years has it been since someone was able to tell us apart?" The husband Kiriko asked the wife.

"I'm ecstatic!" The wife says.

Gon turned to look at Leorio and Kurapika, "You see, the one Kurapika, Hana, and I beat up is the husband."

The sweat-drop obviously confused looking at me for understanding.

I point to the right, "Husband..." I pointed to the left, "Wife..."

They nodded their heads finally understanding as I sigh rubbing the back of my head.

"Allow us to introduce ourselves," The husband says, "We are the Navigators. Our family provides support for the Hunter Exam."

"I'm their daughter!" The woman raises her hand smiling.

"I'm their son!" The now healed son raises his hand smiling.

"Man, you had us fooled," Leorio says sighing.

"The Hunter Exam changes site every year. It's quite difficult to locate it," The husband explains.

"So we Navigators help by guiding the applicants to the site," The wife finishes.

"Oh, that's how it works," Gon says happy.

"But we don't help every candidate," The daughter says explaining.

"We test applicants to see if they're qualified to the exam," The son explains.

"Kurapika-dono," The daughter explained how Kurapika looked at her tattoos was valuable hint to understand. The tattoos says that a woman is single for life allowing him to pass.

"Leorio-dono," The son explained how Leorio healed his injuries but never expected his true form. This allowed Leorio to pass as well.

"And finally, Gon-dono, Hana-dono," The husband says making us look at him, " Gono-dono, your superhuman physical ability and powers of observation make you worthy to take the Hunter exam. Hana-dono, the same as Gon-dono's physical ability including one with your powers and weapon, and becoming one with the nature makes you also worthy to the Hunter Exam. Both of you have pass."

Gon looked at me smiling jumping up in the air having his arms around me.

"We did it!" Gon shouted.

Gon and I smiled at each other seeing the Kiriko starting to fly as we grab onto their legs.

"We will now take you to the Exam site," The husband says flying in the air showing us the sky.

The Hunter Exam... we finally are able to see it... I can't wait...

I hope you guys like this chapter. It took my a while on how I can make the color of yellow since it's the power to increase your jump. In the original it was when she met Leorio and try to get on the boat.

I hope you enjoyed.
