(oh and bold in the story is Wind's message writing… You'd understand when you read it…)

4 minutes later in the real word...

Wind collapsed. After four weeks of non-stop moving, she could finally run for 4 hours straight in these annoying conditions. She also had etiquette lessons, remembering how to brush and wash her hair, started to train her arms... Yep, annoying.

Jeb appeared in a flash of light.

Wind opened her mouth.

'I know, I know, you ran for four hours straight without stopping. Anyway, as an imperial princess of elemental controllers, here is your 'rightful' staff.' Jeb interrupted, giving her a long wrapped object.

Wind took it, unwrapped it and admired the staff. It was a staff perfectly suitable for her height. The grain of the wood was smooth and sturdy and split into four branches which then closed back and joined together to make a spherical gap inside. Inside that space was a ball made out of a clear material and inside that was a sphere of water and inside that sphere of water was a flame. Attached to two of the wooden supports were two miniature wings.

Jeb now opened an instruction manual. 'Now the wood represents the earth, while the clear water represents water obviously. The flame represents fire and the wings represent air. The space between the water and the sphere is the fifth element representative. If you want to use the wings, just imagine them growing large and hop onto the staff and ride it like a broomstick. Actually, if you want to do any weird attacks, just imagine it and it would come true. Of course the attacks need to be related to the five elements for it to come true first.'

Wind nodded. She could still understand. But she didn't know what the fifth element was though. She had asked two weeks before and Jeb had merely shaken his head declaring that she wasn't mature enough to know what it was. Then she challenged him that she would never mature like cheese.

'All the materials made in that are impenetrable, unbreakable, etc. No-one can steal this staff; it can't go ten metres away from you. You got all that?'

Wind nodded again.

Now, Jeb came up suddenly gave her a dress that appeared from no-where.

'How do you do that?'

'A secret of the universe that you shouldn't know about. Anyway, this dress can't be torn, burnt, frictionised, can't get dirty, protects you, etc. Wear it. It's made out of condensed moonbeams.'

He smirked. Wind glared. In four weeks, she had learnt that smirk meant something amused Jeb. And most of the time, amusing to Jeb was embarrassing situations involving her. She took it and nearly dropped it.

'What is this?' she strained out.

'Why, your dress of course! What else would it be?' Jeb smiled innocently.

'No, I mean, why is it so freaking heavy? Aren't moonbeams supposed to be LIGHT? ' She staggered as she tried to put it on.

'That's why it's condensed stupid.'

'Don't call me stupid, the humanoid being who doesn't know frictionised is not a word.'

Jeb coughed. 'You should be happy, anyways, here are some bandages. You're supposed to wrap it around your arms and legs. Here, I'll do it for you.' Jeb finished wrapping it around her arms before she could protest. Suddenly her arms felt four times heavier. Her legs suddenly gave out.

'And oh, I forgot to tell you. The bandages are made out of condensed moonbeams as well! No hard feeling ok?'

Wind glared at him.

'Anyways, those are the weights you're going to be carrying in the Hunter X Hunter world. Since the world's gravitational force is only ¾ of the gravitational field of earth, you would have been able to stand anyway even without this training. I just gave you this training so you can keep up with the other people who could run for eight hours straight since I had serious doubts that you could do it before.'

She glared at Jeb. She would have been able to stand anyway? But then… Wind's eyes lit up. She was FINALLY going to go into the Hunter world!

'And I gave you that dress because it's the uniform of the Imperial Princess of the land you're going to be imperial princess of (Ack, the manual doesn't tell the name of the country…), and the bandages are for you not to jump a literal ten feet when you take every step. After this training, your muscle strength is way better than normal people's, so it's better to have weights than to nearly fly off into a nearby tree, got it?'

Wind nodded.

'Anyways, I'm sending you there now ok? Bye! Hope you have fun finding pineapple ice-cream!'

He chuckled. Wind narrowed her eyes.

'Oh, and it's best not to talk, because I made you able to understand, read and write the language, but unfortunately my computer program suddenly crashed when I was taking care of the talking side. They wouldn't be able to understand you until about the end of the hunter exam ok? Since I need to repair my computer and buy another program.'

She mock-glared at him, nodded him a nod of understanding then immediately got overwhelmed by a black sort of feeling; (she didn't know how she could feel black) washed over her. It kind of felt like the time she got whisked into the yellow skied dimension in the first place. Wind sighed happily. She was finally going to get to meet Gon and peoples!

I rubbed my head. Wait. I could rub my head with all this condensed moonbeam on me? I stretched my arm. It was like moving in that weird yellow-skied dimension. So that Jeb wasn't lying for once. I looked around and saw a lot of macho looking people glaring at each other. I was tucked unobtrusively in a corner.

So I think this is the first test of the hunter exam. Good thing I did the training… I should never tell Jeb I even thought that, or he would do an 'I told you so!' thing and rub it in my face. Anyway, I vaguely remember in a part of my third wish, I'd wished for special items… what are they?

I set down my staff and looked down. I had a brown cloak on me and a backpack. I nodded, approving. The stark pure whiteness of the cloth would attract a lot of unwanted attention so the cloak was good.

Let me see… What do I have on me I didn't have before? Ok, a cloak, a staff, a dress, a back-pack, some hair clips and inside the back-pack I have…'

I opened it.

I have a comb, a rock, a book, a sketchbook and pencils, 1…2…3…4…5…6... 6 daggers and a bracelet? Oh, and a number tag. Some medical looking things and other random stuff… What's with all the junk??'

Wind sighed and closed the bag. She had hope for something useful. Well, the daggers were useful but a rock? She shook her head and read her number. No.232.

Gon and everyone else would still need some time to reach here… Awww, I wanted to see them. Wait, Killua should be around here somewhere, but then I need to stand up to look around and that would mean attracting attention… Sigh… I'll meet them later then.

She carefully slotted the daggers around her body (they had sheaths as well) where they could actually be of use and with the will of a person who hadn't had four weeks of sleep, Wind slept.

A few hours later…

A scream woke me up. I belatedly wondered would this follow the anime or the manga. Or a mixture of both? It would be cooler if it was a mixture of both though, because some things in the anime were cool while other happenings in the manga were better…

Better find out then.

I stood up and looked at where the scream was. A man was half-sunk into the wall with Hisoka standing next to him.

This followed the anime then, which means Gon and Co. would be near the entrance with Tompa and Killua should be leaning on the wall on the far side…

I looked. I was right. I pulled up the hood of my cloak and started to slowly walk towards Gon. I reached them quickly and looked at him in a friendly way. Gon grinned. This was like one of my best dreams!

'Hi! What's your name?'

I opened my mouth to reply. Then I remembered what Jeb had said.

They wouldn't be able to understand you until about the end of the hunter exam ok?'

OH DAMN. Even if I talk they won't understand me. What should I do?

Then I remembered the sketch book and the pencils. I started digging for them and got the pencils and book out.

Thank goodness for paper and pencils.

I closed my backpack and started to write. I wrote: I'm Wind. What's your name?It looked like my home language to me. But when I showed Gon and peoples, they could understand it.

One of the secrets of the universe huh?

Gon read it and smiled.

'My name's Gon! These are my friends, Kurapika and Leorio! And here's a guy I just met, Tompa!'

Gon pointed them out to me. I eye-smiled at them and nodded my greeting. They smiled back, but then I glared at Tompa. He backed away smiling nervously.

'I was wondering if you want any juice…'

I glared at him fiercer and wrote in my book.

No, I don't want any laxative thank you.

He backed off, scratching his head and going towards Gon.

Stupid serial killer.

Gon waved at me, and I looked at him.

He cut straight to the point. 'Why don't you talk Wind?' Kurapika looked alarmed while Leorio immediately covered his mouth whispering

'That could be a delicate subject you moron!'

I quickly wrote. It's good to be truthful right?

It's because you won't understand me right now. And don't worry, it wasn't a delicate subject.

Gon smiled again but had a confused look on his face. I eye-smiled at him kindly. I wouldn't understand in his place. I was going to write something when…

'Here I am. I am the examiner for this stage. The reception is over. Now the exam may begin. This way please. We will begin with a short verification… It is an extremely difficult exam. Sometimes you can miss a chance and can end up hurting yourself or can simply die… There are moments, like you little while ago, where we get irreparably in accidents with companions. There are things that cannot be avoided. Now, please follow me. '

'Ah I forgot one detail. My name is Satotsu. I am responsible for the first round. So I must lead you to the place of the second round.'

I followed of course, along with every other person in the room. I had always wondered. Is Satotsu's mouth non-existent? It apparently was, because I couldn't see his mouth, as much as my eyes strained. I sighed and struck up a conversation with Gon on my book. We started running. I must admit, it was hard to write and run and the same time. We were talking animatedly (well Gon did anyway) when Leorio suddenly yelled

'HEY KID! THAT'S NOT ALLOWED! THAT'S CHEATING!' I looked back to expect Killua as he nearly overtook us on his skateboard. I looked at him when he looked at Gon and me. I was surprised. I thought he would only stare at Gon, like in the manga and anime, but then, I wasn't there obviously. I continued staring at him. He stared back. It only lasted a split second though.

Then he answered Leorio.

'Why?'

'WHY?! IT'S AN ENDURANCE TEST!'

I sighed. Why was Leorio so loud? I nearly bursted my ear-drums running near him. Killua looked at me for awhile because of my sigh and then opened his mouth when Gon interjected.

'You're wrong! He just asked us to follow him didn't he?'

'GON! WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?'

I quickly wrote on my board and tried to get Leorio to read it. No one noticed. I sighed again.

'Hey uncle, that boy has a message for you.'

I looked up surprised. Killua had helped me? I hand motioned a thanks and let Leorio read it.

Can you please not talk in caps?

Leorio read it and understood.

'Sorry…' he muttered. Then Kurapika lectured his theory to us all while I registered what Killua had just said.

Wait… he just said boy, a boy. Can't they see I'm a girl? Wait, the cloak only shows my face and that's shadowed and the tunnel's dark too… I guess it doesn't matter and being a boy does have its benefits…

'You should conserve your energy. You're just noisy right now, anyway… The principle here is that there are no principles.'

'WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THAT JUST doesn't make sense…' He trailed off, as he noticed my glare on him. Why did he listen to me? Was it because he suspected I was of the female species? But it shouldn't be noticeable with my hood up. I shrugged. I wanted to jibe him anyway. I wrote on my board, anticipating his reaction.

Hey uncle, don't make that face, it makes you look even older.

Leorio read it and his face turned red.

'UNCLE! I'M NOT THAT OLD!' I winced and stuck my tongue out to at him. Then I turned to Gon's and Killua's conversation.

'How old are you?' Killua asked, as he directed the question to both of us. Gon replied first as I started speed writing on the board.

'I'm nearly twelve! I don't know how old he is though.'

He? Does that mean me? Gon thinks I'm a guy as well? Oh well, that means they would treat me like another guy, which is good.

I showed them my message.

I'm nearly eleven years old. I'm a bit younger than you two, am I correct?

Killua nodded towards Gon.

'Like me. Yes, I'm older than you. Finally, I'm going to run now.' He flipped off his skateboard. Gon looked at Killua amazedly.

'That's so cool!'

Then he turned to me.

'Aren't you a bit young to be in this test? Your mother and father would have been worried!'

Ah ha, the age and the introduction of Killua follow the manga. It is a mixture after all. I quickly replied to Gon.

I'm a special case. My parents sent me here.

Both Killua and Gon looked at me curiously but dismissed it. Killua had a funny face on. I chuckled to myself. I finally met them! I guess they were going to ask me about the special case thing later. Killua then introduced himself to Gon and me. I, of course, already knew his name.

But then, he doesn't know that now, does he?

'I'm Killua.'

'And I'm Gon.'

'And what about you then, mister?' He asked Leorio.

'MISTER? HEY, OI! I'M NOT THAT OLD! I'M FROM THE SAME GENERATION AS YOU!'

'ARE YOU SURE?' Gon suddenly yelled.

'ARGH GON! IT'S FINISHED! I'M NEVER TALKING TO YOU EVER AGAIN!' Leorio said as he made a long suffering pose. I went over to the other side of Killua, hiding from them. My ear-drums were hurting to the noise. Kurapika also edged away from them.

Ha, I bet he wants to shield himself from those overly dramatic scenes those two are making. I was jolted from my thinking process by Killua.

'Why can you attend the Hunter test at ten?'

I'm not ten! I'm nearly eleven now! A few weeks more!

'That doesn't change the fact you're still classified as ten.'

I'm nearly eleven! And it's because my family is quite influential and its tradition in it for its children to go and do the hunter exam at ten or eleven.

Killua obviously didn't believe me. He had his eyebrows raised.

Believe me or not believe me. I don't care. It's the truth anyway.

He looked at me. I tugged at my hood nervously. I guess I was a bit diminutive, but it was expected of a ten year old right? I hope none of my hair escapes the hood because it was really long…

'Hey Killua! Wind! Come over here! I want to ask you something!'

We ran over, with Killua with a poker face and me my normal crinkled eye-smiling one. Gon chattered happily at us. Killua actually started talking and I scribbled my responses on my book. I think we got along quite well…

4-5 hours later...

Leorio was sweating heavily and lagging behind. Suddenly, he stopped panting.

'Leorio!' Gon cried.

'Come on. We're not having any fun here.' Killua said. I just stood next to him, silent.

What? A person is nearly collapsing and he cares about fun? That is sure like Killua…

Leorio was panting heavily. 'That's enough. I'M READY TO DO ANYTHING TO BECOME A HUNTER!! YES!!! AAAARRRGGH!!!!' He started running like a maniac. He ran so fast that my cloak went backwards in a non-existent wind. I looked at the dust cloud Leorio had left behind and his suitcase.

Does he try to break my ear-drums on purpose?

I wrote as we also started running again. Killua shook his head.

'I don't think so.'

Gon took out his fishing rod and retrieved the suitcase without moving. My eyes widened. Yes, I've watched it a million times of TV, but watching it as something real was just, wow. Killua voiced my thoughts.

'That's a cool trick! Can I try it later?'

'Only if you lend me your skateboard.'

Can I try?

'Of course!' He smiled at me. During these few hours, I had gotten to know Killua and Gon quite well. It was quite interesting to see Killua gradually lighten up to Gon and me, although I mostly remained silent (I couldn't write so fast) and Gon nearly continually talked.

Killua also looked at me.

'Why does he get to try it without needing to trade?' he whined.

Gon smiled.

'I want to try holding that cool shaped staff he's holding!'

Huh? But Jeb said normal people would only see a normal staff… Oops, I forgot Gon wasn't normal.

Sure!

Kurapika suddenly looked at the staff with new eyes. I remembered that he was quite an expert on artefacts and tribes around the world. I gulped.

'Hey, is that…'

Gon interrupted.

'Yay! Let's go Kurapika, Killua and Wind!'

Ack, I nearly got found out. Thank goodness that Gon is dense. He couldn't read the atmosphere.

As we ran, I distanced myself as far away from Kurapika as possible and stuck up a conversation with Killua.

More than 80 km run. 1 deserted.

Gaaah, stairs. Why couldn't this part follow the anime? They didn't have stairs… And I don't really want to run anymore… but I don't want to attract attention to myself by riding on my staff because white wings attract attention… I guess running is the only option I have right now… sigh…

I looked behind me. Leorio was running nearly naked. I stifled a giggle. Wait, a giggle? I could giggle? Maybe the air in this place contained laughing powder? Oh well, I shrugged as I looked at Kurapika. He looked fine, but I was sure he was going to ask questions soon.

Sigh, I'll just answer them. It's good to have another person knowing right?

I looked back to see Kurapika running without his clan symbol cloak/shirt/piece of clothing on. I sighed. I couldn't take off my cloak even if I wanted to. The stupid dress would attract too much attention.

Oh well… Live life to its fullest, didn't I say that?

I focused on Gon's and Killua's conversation again.

'Why do you want to be a hunter Killua?'

I don't know how you can feel black; I just couldn't find a word to describe it. _

I'm going to update sporadically, since I do have school work… I'll update as soon as I can though!
(I update once I have a back-up chapter already, which means I already have chapter 3 of this fic ready…)
