So hey guys, I'm going to do the disclaimer next chapter. Greatly appreciated are the reviews, and thanks to RandomGothicNinjaNerd once again for helping me! And cyber-hugs to everyone who reviewed, reviews and is going to review! Thank you again for reading this random passage and story!

President Netero calmly walked towards Menchi, as if he just didn't jump from an airship nearly three kilometres from the earth's surface. Everyone gaped, even me. Watching it as something that could actually happen (as, in real life) was so ummm... real. Even though I know nen is involved, it was still amazing.

'Netero-san, president of the committee. The man responsible for the trials.' Menchi said, still in shock mode.

Everyone looked shocked and amazed. They were actually seeing the president of the Hunter comittee! of course they would be amazed. Then Netero-san started to talk.

'Responsible yes, but I'm only an executor. And I'm here to solve this kind of problem. Menchi.'

Menchi immediately straightened up and said in a very nervous voice, 'Yes!'

I looked on happily, munching my last piece of sushi. I swallowed and looked on.

Ha, this is really cool. Menchi looked so rough and tough but here she's looks like she's being lectured by a favourite teacher! President Netero is amazing... Though of course, Menchi is really cool as well...

'Aha!' President Netero suddenly said. I could practically see the light bulb flash on top of his head. 'You're going to go on, but as compensation, you'll have to take the test as well! How about it? This way, it'll be easier for the contestants to accept your decision.'

All the people looked at Menchi for her decision.

'Yes, certainly.'

'Very well!'

Menchi turned to face us, took a big breath and said, 'This time, the test will be... a boiled egg!'

Huh?

'President, can you give us a ride to this mountain?' she pointed.

'I see, no problem!' the president exclaimed.

And so, we boarded the airship.

Wow, amazing view! You can't see the surroundings so clearly if you were in a plane…

That was basically my train of thought on the air-ship ride to the mountain. Gon was going toilet, so he couldn't goggle about it with me, and Killua was down stairs drinking tea, as he said 'I've seen this too many times to count.'

How can anyone not appreciate this view?

I sighed. Then turned back to Jeb's interrupted sentence, 'You need to know I sent your friend into the hunter world as well.

I only had one close friend and she was called Dusketha. She hated that name, so she insists on being called Dusky. She said that her parents didn't know any names so they grabbed a poem book and randomly chose a name. That poem was about four fairies. She had shuddered that time. She likes the hunter series as well, although she likes Kurapika better, we've had long hours of long debates about who was better.

I hope she wasn't sucked into this mess…

The speakers started to splutter as we landed.

'Contestants, we have arrived at the mountain. Please start disembarking.'

I started walking towards the exit, following the other people who were heading in that direction. I sighed. I think I had a headache.

We were standing next to a really really really deep canyon. And I mean really deep. I looked down at it and it gave me the shivers. I wasn't afraid of heights but this height is just way too freaky. I gulped. No wonder only forty something people passed this test. I wouldn't do this test if I didn't know I could fly. With all the condensed moonbeam on me, the web would probably snap.

Menchi pointed at the cavern.

'Here it is.' She said, like we were having a normal conversation and she was pointing to a flower she picked. I must admit, the people here were freaky. Cool, but freaky.

Todo (the fat dude who got his face mashed in by Buhara, but got his face miraculously healed,) said brightly, 'But, what's down there?'

'Don't worry!' Menchi said, taking off her boots. 'There's a very deep river.'

Just a very deep river? I nearly couldn't see that river! It just looks like a piece of silver ribbon! A really really thin silver ribbon! Gaaah, the people in the hunter world are weird.

'The current is very strong, so you'd better not fall in, unless you want to be washed ashore a dozen miles from here.'

I gulped. She was a great re-assurer. I felt so assured that I wanted to run away from here before I died. I felt sooooo brave and courageous. I wasn't born to face this kind of stuff. Anyway, these thoughts were impractical, since I could fly anyway. Menchi finished taking off her boots and bounded to the edge of the canyon and jumped off like she was jumping off a diving board.

'HUH?! BUT…'

Was the general reaction to what Menchi was doing. President Netero just said calmly, while stroking his beard and looking at the sky, seeming like to the world he was just commenting on weather.

'It's here, on Mount Mafutatsu, which lives the tarantula eagles. She went to get one of the eggs. Tarantula eagles tighten strong lines between both rock faces, and suspend their eggs to protect them from the attacks of land creatures.'

I shuddered and unstrapped my staff. I was going to need this. I sat on it side-saddle, though there wasn't technically a saddle. Ummm… I sat on its side-staff and started imagining the wings growing. This time, I actually saw it grow. They looked like angel's wings, they were so beautiful. I concentrated on making it bigger as Menchi's voice floated up from the ravine.

'You have to grab the line…' Her voice echoed as it floated up. It sounded like a ghost. I shuddered. I had a problem with ghosts from when I was little. My best friend kept saying the ghosts were going to kill me. I believed her. Actually, thinking back, I don't think a ghost could actually fit in a lemonade can… Or maybe they can fit into a can? Wait… I frowned my eyebrows in thought, and Menchi's voice floated up again. '…take one egg… and come back up climbing the rock face…and finally you have to boil the egg!'

Her face popped up from the edge. She was smiling. There was general comprehension in the atmosphere as people understood what we had to do. I was at the back, not standing with Killua and Gon, since I didn't want to attract attention with my wing-growing. I heard Gon and Killua's voice exclaiming, 'Ah cool!' and 'Yeah! I was expecting something more like that!'

I shook my head. I would never ever expect something like this. That's the difference between a Earthling and a HunterXHunter person. I put my attention back to the wings on my staff. They were approximately what I needed to lift me up. I nodded and told them that I wanted them to fly down the ravine, let me get an egg, and fly back up to let me stand. They twitched. I guess that was a response. I sat on it more steadily, gripped it hard, it started to lift me up and I flew into the ravine. I heard the exclamations behind me, some saying that this wasn't allowed. I heard President Netero's voice replying,

'The test is to boil a tarantula eagle's egg. There is no saying to how you get it.' That settled the mutters. I flew down to see surprised faces and a 'confirmed' look on Kurapika's face.

'Wow! Cool Wind! That is just… Wow!

I smiled at Gon. It was just like him to say stuff like that. Killua just stared at the wings. I flew up to grab an egg. I tried to fly up before the tarantula eagles started to attack, when Todo fell less than a metre from me. It was like a big fat bllur of something fleshy falling and making you nearly lose your grip on the thing that's keeping you alive. I nearly had a heart attack when I nearly lost my grip.

'Help!'

Gon immediately went into action. He pocketed his egg, jumped and grabbed Todo then used his fishing rod to secure them from falling any further.

'Gon! Are you ok?' Leorio yelled from the rock-face.

'Yes!' a hollow sounding voice yelled out. I shrugged and started flying upwards again. I noticed the person with the exact same cloak as me climbing the wall like a spider. I stared at her/him then settled lightly onto my feet back on the plateau as the wings automatically started to shrink. When Killua and Kurapika (they climbed up first) arrived, the wings were back in their miniature state. Killua looked a bit disappointed, but Kurapika had an 'I understand everything now' look on his face. I shuddered. I had never liked quizzes. I went to the boiling water vat and put my egg in. Then I waited.

After the drama with Todo, Gon and the rest of them also put their eggs into the vat. And waited with me. Killua leaned in, trying to see the eggs.

'I don't even know how long normal eggs cook, much less these eggs.'

I chuckled. He glared at me.

'What, you know?'

I nodded. He opened his mouth but then got distracted by the eggs starting to jump in the water. I just grabbed an egg and started peeling it.

Waaaah, this is hot. I juggled as I peeled it. Everyone else had started peeling their eggs too. Menchi handed out normal eggs for us to compare the eggs to. She started talking.

'Here's an egg like the ones you can buy, and here's a tarantula-eagle's egg. See the difference!'

I ate the normal egg first, as I knew the tarantula egg was supposed to be delicious. Yup, nice yolk! Then I ate the tarantula-eagle's egg.

Oh my… Why don't we have these at Earth? This is really really yummy! I'll eat this every single day!

I ate it morsel by morsel. By the time it was gone, everyone was boarding the air-ship again. 42 people had passed Menchi's order. I saw the person with the same cloak as me in the window, getting ready to sleep.

Gaah, so we're going to the tower now… I can't exactly go with Gon and Killua now can I? Although maybe I could put a mini camera on them just to see the action…

Those were my thoughts as I went into the ship. Yup, I had found (on the air-ship ride to the mountain) that the sticker page in my back-pack were actually really flat cameras. I was elated, and stuck one onto Gon before he went into the toilet saying that it was a game to see how long the sticker would last. He accepted the reason, as I had expected. The sticker page itself was the screen where you could watch the camera's view.

Haha! Now I can watch and not bother the story line of HunterXHunter! Yes! I can secretly watch Killua. Wait. That sounded perverted. Ah, I don't want to hear Netero's speech. I'll just wander around then…

After, I shook my head at Killua's and Gon's offer to go explore the ship with them and roamed the ship by myself. I found the empty gym and settled myself there and got myself comfortable. Since Gon, Killua and the President came here to do the midnight game, then why not settle myself here, rest a bit while waiting for them? And so, with that thought I slept.

In the weird yellow-skied dimension…

What? Why was I here again? I looked around me, immobile again since the condensed moonbeam costume had survived the trip here. Although I noted, my pack and my cloak wasn't here, but my staff was. I sighed. Did Jeb want to talk to me again?

And you know of the saying, speak of the devil, he comes? Technically, I didn't speak of Jeb, but thinking is close right? Guess what? Jeb came up.

'Hi.'

I sighed at him.

'Why am I here again?'

'Didn't I mention? Whenever you sleep, you conscious mind will come here. Though of course, your physical body is resting and getting energy.'

I groaned. I had to face him every single night from now on. Then I remembered something.

'Oh, and what did you mean by 'I sent your friend into the hunter world as well?' I only have one close friend, and if this is a joke, it's not a very good one.'

He blinked.

'What's a joke?'

That did not bode well. If he didn't know what a joke was, how can he joke? That means Dusky did really come to the hunter world. I actually did drag her into this mess. I mentally prepared myself for her mental tirade at me when I'll meet her.

'Ummm… then where is she now?'

'When she falls asleep, then she'll arrive right next to you.'

A shape suddenly appeared next to me. It stood up straight for ten seconds then immediately slumped over. Like mine. Then it talked.

'Hi Jeb!'

I widened my eyes. This was really Dusky. Oh no…

Then she turned her head and saw me. I winced, getting ready for her words. Once I had snuck out of hospital to try and get some tinned pineapple see, then got sent back. Dusky was waiting for me there and started yelling at me for five hours straight. Then she didn't let me have dinner. It was the only night which they had pineapple. I never tried to make her that angry again.

She widened her eyes in recognition. I flinched. She opened her mouth, took a deep breath…

'WINDFAREST SANI! WHEN THEY TOLD ME THAT YOU HAD DISAPPEARED FOR TWO MINUTES I THOUGHT YOU HAD RAN AWAY AGAIN. DID YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I WAS? I EVEN CALLED YOUR PARENTS TO SEE IF YOU WERE THERE! IT WAS VERY SELFISH OF YOU! THEN WHEN I WAS RUNNING AROUND THE STREETS LOOKING FOR YOU, I GOT ZAPPED INTO A WEIRD ORANGE-SKIED DIMENSION. THAT WAS REALLY CONFUSING YOU KNOW. AND YOU NEVER THOUGHT TO TELL ME THAT YOU WISHED A 16 PAGE WISH? AND REALLY, PINEAPPLE ICE-CREAM? THAT IS JUST SO LIKE YOU TO WASTE A PART OF YOUR WISH LIKE THAT! I HAD TO TRAIN FOR TWO WEEKS STRAIGHT BECAUSE OF YOU, AND THAT MADE ME VERY PISSED. I COULDN'T EVEN RAISE MY ARMS IN THERE! But then, you let me go into HunterXHunter and I actually saw Kurapika so my anger got nullified. A bit…'

I raised my arms from my face.

'That's it?'

She was breathing heavily.

'OH YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO SAY THAT?! DO YOU KNOW... ?'

'You saw Kurapika right? You should be happy! Happy, happy, you know, happy...'

Dusky calmed down.

I sighed in relief. Dusky was an orphan, and I was the only one she had ties to. And me with her. A lot of people didn't understand why we two were friends. She was tall for her age. I was short. She had black hair, I had white. She was tanned; I was pale, etc. etc. But personality wise, we couldn't have been more alike. We had met in the waiting room of the hospital. Me for my first chemotherapy session and her from a street fight. We had started talking and had hit off really well. We just kept in contact with each other, and gradually became best friends. She was the one I went to when all of my hair fell out, and I was the one she went to when her cat died. I looked up. She had started talking.

'Oh yeah, thank you.'

Huh?

'You let me have my own choice of how I could be. You know, I wished myself to be really pretty, since I'm not that pretty on Earth and some special items. I didn't wish for any special powers though, but I did wish to be a Kurata like Kurapika. And I won't tell you my third wish.' She stuck out her tongue.

'WHAT?' I burst out.

She nodded.

'You could seriously change the story-line like that! You can't do that!' I exclaimed.

'But red eyes look cool! And if I was another Kurata, then the Kurata line won't become extinct!'

'You can just have wished for red eyes! And wait, are you planning on marrying Kurapika?'

'Yup!'

Oh my gosh, she's was so self-obsessed sometimes. Well times where concerning Kurapika. She was fan-girl to the max. Then she continued.

'And permanent red eyes are freaky, so I wished for a less stand-out colour. Now I have silver eyes!'

I sighed. She could be so simple minded at times concerning Kurapika.

'Oh well, I'm glad you're here. Promise me you won't jump him or reveal that you are a Kurata to Kurapika.'

'Why?!" she whined.

'Because if you let him figure it out for himself, he would be even happier!' Oh I was such a liar. If Kurapika found that there was a survivor, he would become so overprotective and start to do rash decisions, or plan to send Dusky into 'safer' places. She hates that. I have witnessed it firsthand. It was horrible.

'OK!' She held out her pinkie. I swear, she has a mental age of 3. I did a mental age test thing once, and I got 56. That was freaky. Of course, Dusky got her own age of 11. Does that mean I have to act like a three year old to seem my age? I sighed and joined the pinkies with her. She smiled brightly. Our personalities were similar, doesn't mean that mental ages had to be the the same.

'Wear these contacts. They're silver, if you ever go berserk, they would shield it, to an extent. They're pretty and the same colour as your eyes now anyway, so no loss.' I ordered. She pouted but put them on. She's older than me, but listens to my orders. I wonder why?

'Anyway, where are you sleeping right now?' That sentence sounded weird. We were talking while we were sleeping. These were very unusual circumstances.

'Near the exit! I'm that weird hooded figure! Oh, and you can't talk either right? Because no one would understand you.'

I nodded.

'I didn't get a notebook! I couldn't communicate at all!'

Jeb interrupted our nattering.

'You can talk when you're awake. Take off your condensed moonbeam costume Windfarest, and Dusketha your sapphire. You will start training your nen while Windfarest blocks my attacks with air barriers.'

Oh, Dusky got a sapphire costume. Must look nice… and very heavy. Moonbeams are preferable to gems, since when they're condensed, they're this heavy. I wonder how heavy hers is?

'Ummm… Jeb, I don't know how to make air barriers. And when did Dusky opened her nen openings?'

Dusky flashed the peace sign at me.

'Jeb said the automatically open without risk of user when you change from any dimension to the other. And your nen increases as well! That's how you control elements!'

I frowned, annoyed. Why did Jeb tell her so much? Oh well. I tried to make sense out of Jeb's words.

'So if I make my wings grow by imagining really hard, do I imagine air barriers blocking attacks and attacking?'

Jeb nodded.

'There are many states of the mind. When you changed dimensions, I just added one for you, for you to access elemental powers. You slip into the state unconsciously for your natural element. Yours is air, that's why you can make the wings go large by imagining. But imagine, if you imagine someone you hate dying by choking, they will die.'

That was a horrible thought. What if I was angry at Dusky?

'That's why I'm training you, because if you get into and out the right state of mind easily and your mind has good reflexes and just automatically blocks attacks, it'll be good. I will give you exercises to train your mind so that you can control you powers. Like, after these exercises, you would be able to imagine that you're killing someone but they won't die until you consciously reach your power ok?'

I nodded, as it made sense. To me. Dusky was bobbing her head smiling absently. Why meant she didn't understand.

'But why start with air?'

'It's your element, it needs the most control. And because most people can't see it, which is a good thing and if it moves, they just think it's just the wind. And it's everywhere, except underwater, but then you would have mastered water techniques already. Wind barriers are the simplest type of defence. How you defend and attack just depends on your imagination.'

That's a good thing. My imagination was very extensive, since it was sometimes the only way to occupy myself in hospital.

'Now then, Dusky, start the exercise I taught you. It won't be like any of the techniques in the hunter world, so you better learn their techniques too. Don't be lazy.'

Dusky made a face and got to work.

He then turned to me.

'Start defending!' he started to shoot fireballs at me. I widened my eyes and just managed to imagine an invisible barrier between me and the fireball. It was so close that it singed my eyebrows.

'Good, now start trying to put the barrier not so close to your body. And make it stronger.'

As if I wanted to singe my eyebrows…

Someone was shaking me. I waved goodbye to Dusky, who was also fading, which means she was starting to wake up too. I blocked a random fireball from Jeb and the yellow-skied dimension was replaced be a blurry vision of a person with spiky black hair.

'Wind!'

I blinked at him then looked around. Killua was standing there, and president Netero.

'We're going to play a game with president Netero over there! Do you want to join us?'

I nodded happily. I was going to join the ball game! Yay! Wait, I need to meet Dusky first… Oh well! She'll come to find me!

I nodded again and got to my feet, levering myself up with my staff.
