Hi again… I want to extend my greeting to whoever reads this fanfiction, and thanks to everyone who reviews! Anyways, here is the new chapter, so please enjoy and review please! I love ideas and opinions, don't be afraid about offending me too… haha, I'd like to extend my appreciation to RandomGothicNinjaNerd for her wise encouragement… and to shironeko95 for her patience towards me when I asked her 'is it confusing?' ten thousand times…

I perked up, interested. Maybe he would say something that wasn't expected. That is, wasn't in the manga or anime.

'I don't really want to be a hunter, I heard it was something extremely hard and I thought it sounded interesting. But I'm disappointed.'

I sighed mentally. Word for word from the manga. But then, the manga is about them so it is expected. My favourite character in the manga and anime was, I mean is Killua, so it already was a once in a lifetime chance to meet him in face to face.

What more do you want, you spoiled person, I chided myself.

'What about you?' Killua asked Gon. I followed close behind them, since I was afraid of falling off the edge. Why should I be, I wonder, if I could fly? I could just use the wings on my staff. I shook my head in confusion about my own behaviour when Gon replied.

'My father is a hunter! My goal is to be a hunter like him!'

'Your father, what kind of hunter was he?'

'I don't know!'

I chuckled mentally. Yup, the manga to the t. Then I realised something. They were asking each other their reasons of going into the hunter test. Jeb explicitly said that it was best not to mention my status to them.

Oh no, what should I say, what should I say? I'm good at lying sometimes, but I don't want to lie to them! Oh no, Gon's finished his answer, I still haven't prepared myself! Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no…

And sure enough, Gon finished.

'What about you, Wind?'

oh no, oh no, oh no… wait!

I pointed. It was the exit! They looked and got swamped by the general relief of the other people seeing the exit.

Oh good, saved by the exit. THANKYOU! But they would ask again soon enough… I must prepare an answer for them…

I stood slightly in front of Gon and Killua, who were next to Satotsu. I ran to the edge. The view was beautiful. Though, of course, I knew that it was very dangerous, but seeing green after hours of darkness was wonderful.

Satotsu waited for a moment before starting to speak.

'The 'Numelle's Marsh' nicknamed the 'Crooks Nest. This is where the second round will stand. You'll have to go through here. The animals you find in the marsh eat humans for lunch. There are birds of prey as well as gamers. Follow me and pay close attention. Losing the way results in death.'

I listened to his speech. I felt eyes staring at us in hunger and heard small sounds. A beautiful as this was, this place was freaky. As in haunted house kind of freaky. But then, the fake examiner should come soon…

The door started to slowly fall. A person who tripped right in front of the gate started pleading.

'No, wait! Wait for me! Help me someone, help…'

The door clanged shut. No one even started to move. They had just looked at the man mercilessly. Gon would have, but then he couldn't hear him. I got reminded once again.

That was from the anime. I can't let myself think that it's only the manga. There are always two paths in this world that I know of, I must be vigilant. What if I was caught off guard? Stupid, stupid, stupid… I continued berating myself, and then found no point in it. My stomach grumbled.

Sigh, I'm really hungry. I really want to eat pineapple chunks, or just fresh pineapple with pineapple juice and maybe some pineapple sherbet?

I stayed like that for a while, day-dreaming about pineapple. To other people though, it would seem I was absorbed by a leaf on a bush which looked like the other hundreds of leaves beside it.

'Wind? Wind! We are going now! You should stop staring at that leaf now! If we don't start running, the examiner will leave us behind!'

Gon's voice got through to my brain. I looked around me. Vultures were starting to flock all over the place. Huh? Oh, the fake examiner must have died already. I wanted to watch that though! I sighed… I missed another life time chance. I started running with Gon and caught up to Killua.

'So what made you so absorbed?' he asked. I wrote in my sketchbook to write a reply to Killua.

I was hungry, so I started thinking of pineapple. Like pineapple ice-cream and sherbet and tea and biscuits and just plain pineapple chunks…

Killua nodded in understanding to stop my tirade laughing a bit.

'Haha! I've landed myself with weird people! Someone was murdered and you were thinking about pineapple? Hahahahahahahaha…'

I mock-glared at him and pretended to sniff at him in disapproval. It was funny. We've only met with each other for a few hours and we were acting like life-long friends. It was a nice feeling. Kind of warm… A fog suddenly descended.

'Let's go to the head.' Killua was suddenly serious again. Was he bipolar? Maybe, considering his child-hood it wouldn't be unusual…

'Yep, we should keep an eye on the judge!'

'I just say it's more important to get away from Hisoka. He wants to kill somebody, and he's becoming impatient. No doubt he would use the fog.'

I nodded and looked back. As much as Hisoka looks cool and actually helps Gon in the future, I didn't want to be caught up in his killing spree. Though I must admit, everyone looks cool in the anime. Except for Tompa that is. He just looks fat.

Gon looked at the both of us weirdly.

'You should have seen your face!' Killua said laughing. Then he turned serious.

Yep, he's bipolar, but for some reason, I think it makes him cooler…sigh… I must be weird. I am weird. Who am I tricking? I should have told them I'm a girl in the first place... The one bad thing of being mistaken for a guy is that if you like a guy, they think you're gay…

I sighed in real life. Killua continued his talk. 'If I know, it's because he and I am of the same type. I can feel it, if you prefer that way of saying it…'

'Of the same type? I couldn't see it…'

'You shouldn't rely on appearances. Do you understand?' Killua said, with a weird face on. I just watched, anticipating what would come next. I watched Killua closely. Gon suddenly took in a deep breath. I blocked my ears as I stared at Killua.

'LEORIO! KURAPIKA! KILLUA SAYS IT'S BETTER TO GO TO THE HEAD!'

I secretly laughed at the look on Killua's face. It was hilarious. I looked around. I could actually see the sweat-drops on other people's faces! I smiled brightly. One of the benefits of being in an anime-ish world. The people here didn't look like the people in our world, they were more anime-ish looking. I wondered what I looked like. Jeb had said I would undergo some more changes when I arrived. I shrugged and looked at Gon. I chuckled. Gon really didn't have any competitive spirit at all. I faintly heard Leorio's voice as it floated through the fog.

'Imbecile! If we could go we would go!'

I smiled even brighter. Yep, this world's air contained happy powder. I haven't smiled and laughed in years and here I am, after a few hours in this world and I was chuckling and smiling.

Then I paid attention to Killua who was talking to me.

'They don't seem to be so stressed.'

I nodded, still smiling slightly as I heard the conversation between Gon and Leorio.

'You'll be able to manage on your side won't you?' Gon yelled into the fog.

'Are you kidding...?!'

His voice trailed away, muffled by the fog. The fog had started to gradually get thicker and thicker. It was spreading too. I could only still see Gon and Killua, with Gon a bit more blurry, since he was behind us a bit. I stopped smiling. I had heard the screams.

The attacks have started on the people who couldn't catch up…

I kept close to Killua, since I knew his insane physical strength.

'What are those noises coming behind?' Gon asked, as he looked back.

The oldest of the Amori brothers interjected.

'I don't know when, but the group that was behind us disappeared…' the second oldest of the three brothers answered him.

'Seriously? There were at least 100 people weren't there?'

I didn't look back. It was pointless anyway. I knew all I would see was fog. I closed my eyes still running. I didn't like to think of all those people dying behind me. Didn't I come here just to escape death?

If it isn't me, it's fine. Its fine, its fine, its fine…

I repeated it like a mantra to myself, while still keeping up with the group straight behind Satotsu. More screams filled the air. I squeezed my eyes shut more closely and held onto Gon's shirt. Killua remained unaffected, just like I expected him to be. He had been trained to kill from a young age to kill so I expected him not to react. And I was right. I ran closer to him still, as his calmness was reassuring. I hugged my sketch-book tighter and held my pencils so tightly; I expected them to crack soon. My staff was strapped on my back. I stumbled and nearly tripped. Gon helped me stabilise myself.

'It's better to run with your eyes open Wind.'

I opened my eyes. Gon was smiling at me. Killua had paused and when he saw I was fine, he started running again. We ran a bit faster to catch up. But then Gon suddenly looked behind him. I knew what was going to happen. Of course Kurapika and Leorio would survive, but just thinking of all those dead people made me nervous.

'Gon!'

Gon didn't respond to Killua's call. He tried again.

'Gon!' I shook his arm. I was in the middle. I guess they were afraid (as in, Gon was afraid) that I would trip again. Killua kept his eyes to the front.

'Yes? What?'

'Don't act stupid! It's not the time to be worrying about them!'

Gon replied slowly.

'Yeah…' He spaced out. I tugged on his shirt. Killua was talking again.

'Look! Even the guys that are just in front of us are in the fog! Take your eyes off them for one second, and its over! The best you can do is to pray that you don't hear your friends dying!'

Killua's words made sense in a horrible way. I knew that Gon would go back and help them, for he was just like that naturally, but if I was him, I wouldn't know what to do. And that sounded horrible and cold-hearted. I had decided (when I was in the tunnel) that I wouldn't follow Gon to go help Kurapika and Leorio when they were attacked by Hisoka. Firstly because I would just be in the way, secondly because I didn't want to be targeted by Hisoka, and thirdly because I didn't want to face the blood thirsty 'magician' yet.

I flinched. I heard an all too familiar voice screaming. Leorio.

Gon suddenly started, turned and started running back.

'Leorio!'

'Gon!' Killua yelled. But it was too late. Gon had been swallowed up by the fog. I clenched my hands around my pencils harder. This was necessary, for if Gon didn't go to Leorio and Kurapika, they would die and that couldn't happen. They had important roles in this world. I started running again, following Killua. I ignored the comment from Hanzo, and ran faster to keep up with Killua who was on his skate-board.

Killua and I had arrived in front of the store-house. After I had unstrapped my staff, I had kept close to Killua. We didn't talk much, as I was nervously watching the clock and Killua was watching the forest.

Come on Gon, come on, come on…

Hisoka, with Leorio had already come back. We were waiting for Gon and Kurapika now.

Come on, come on, come on…

I saw a movement on the path that led to the open area. It seems Killua saw it too. He stood up straighter and looked at me in a sort of relief. I smiled back at him. We both looked towards the opening. Gon and Kurapika bursted into the light. They immediately went to where Leorio was propped up. His face was really ummm… fat. No, swollen. That doesn't work either. Beaten up? I shook my head. 'Bashed in' sounded the most correct. Gon and Kurapika went to see a bashed in Leorio.

Gon then looked at the warehouse. He hadn't noticed us yet.

'We can't get in yet.'

Gon started. 'Killua!'

'Yo.'

'Where's Wind?'

I tapped his shoulder. He didn't notice me behind him? I thought his sense of smell or hearing would notice me. Or maybe it's one of the weird 'blessed' gifts that I had added in my long list of wishes.

'Wind! I didn't notice you were there! You should uncover your head you know, it's getting hot.'

I shook my head violently. Killua raised an eyebrow and started talking.

'You use some kind of special attack or not? I thought I'd never see you again!'

Gon told us how he arrived at the meeting place.

'And then I followed the scent of his aftershave.'

'Aftershave?!' Killua burst out.

'Yes…'

Killua looked at Gon strangely.

'You're no ordinary guy…'

'You think so?' Gon asked, and I nodded.

'Awww… you think so too Wind?' I nodded again.

Gon looked at the door and went back into topic.

'Why can't we go in?'

'Look.' I had looked already, but I read the sign anyway. It said: "Next trial round will start today at noon."

'All we can hear are some groaning noises. All we can do is wait.'

'It won't be long.'

'Yup.'

I kind of felt ignored, but it's not as if I could interject. All I could do was wave around a piece of paper. I leaned on my staff heavily and sighed. I then wrote a message.

What do you think is inside?

'I don't know!' Gon replied brightly. 'I can't wait to see what's inside!'

I smiled. Gon was so bright and cheerful; it was hard to not be happy as well.

Me too… I wrote. Although I already know what's inside, the first time I was watching it, I really wanted to know what was inside, so it wasn't really a lie.

He smiled brightly at me and continued staring at the door. Killua just nonchalantly stood, holding his skate-board. I looked at his hair. It was the same colour as mine, which was a weird coincidence. Although all the antibiotics made my hair white before I started chemotherapy, Killua's hair was natural.

I stopped staring and looked at the clock like everyone else did. It would seem weird if I didn't and kind of gay. The general atmosphere was getting tenser and tenser and people were starting to become restless. The people around us started to shift. I nearly got knocked over but saved myself. I glared at the stereo-typical looking macho guy and moved closer to Gon. Kurapika and Leorio were next to us, which followed the anime.

The doors slowly creaked open…

I'm going to stop there, since if I added anything more, it would be too long. In the next chapter, there's going to be an insert with Jeb. He's going to do some explaining…

I hope you like this and hope it is not confusing or boring. Please review? I really want to know the people's opinions on this. I'm going to continue this fic, cos I'm very interested in how it would turn out myself… I just want opinions. ^.^

And thank you for reading this anyway. I'll try to update every weekend (for me here). I updated this chapter now because of the reviews I got. It is still ok? Bye…
