Well then! New chappie about how relationships develop and entertwine, blah blah blah...

Thankyou for all the nice reviews I got! Glad it's not getting boring! Hehe, and thankyou to my sister and my friend RGNN for beta-ing and encouragement, and people who favourited and story-alerted, I love you all!

Now, I'll stop blabbering and let you continue with the story!

Wind's view!

I landed onto a floor with a flump. I opened my eyes. Yellow sky, random tree on a desert plain. Yup. This was the weird yellow skied dimension.

I rubbed my eyes blurrily. So what happened before I came here? It was all a bit hazy. I sat down, crossed my legs and folded my arms. And thought.

Well, Kurapika had his fight which only lasted for TWO FREAKING MINUTES, then my turn with Efoe, who turned out not be a pudgy guy… Then the poison and the wine… POISON!

I hit my fist into my open palm. I swear a light-bulb flashed near my head. Of course! Then I fainted! And I think my hood fell off…

Sunglasses popped onto my face as Jeb came up. I rushed to him and pulled his sleeve. (I wasn't tall enough to do anything else)

'Hey Jeb, what happened after I fainted?'

He smiled down at me. Damn his height.

'I knew you would ask me that sooner or later. So I brought this specially for you…' He held up a mirror. I snatched and stared at it. All I saw was my reflection. I stuck my tongue at my reflection. I still wasn't used to my new appearance.

'How does it work?' I turned it around in my fingers…

'Say something. Anything.'

I raised an eyebrow and stared at it.

'Umm…' I looked at the mirror expectantly. Slowly, an image started to form beneath my reflection until it took up the entire mirror.

I saw Dusky shaking me. But something was weird. What was it? I contemplated the picture in front of me. I still had my cloak. My staff was there too. I didn't lose any eyebrows, did I? I checked my face. My eyebrows were still there. So what was wrong?

…

I could see my eyebrows?

Then I noticed. I stared at myself. It was like looking at a picture on TV where I was watching the main character faint.

Since my hair was spread out like a fan all around my head in hard-core anime style, I looked really fragile and pretty. I slapped my forehead in embarrassment. Sigh. Why couldn't the anime world make me fall in a less pretty and more realistic way? But then it hit me.

I could see my face. My hood was off. My disguise was OFF. My disguise that hid I was a girl to other people was OFF!!! What would the others think?!

Kurapika's view…

I widened my eyes slightly and stopped in my tracks. I had been suspicious of Wind being a girl for a time now, but having my suspicions proved correct in such a way was startling.

How had he/she cover it so well? Whenever I had peered under her hood, all I saw was the face of a young boy.

Wind didn't look anything like a boy now.

Hmm… How are the others taking it?

Leorio's view…

Wind's a girl. Wind's a girl. Wind's a girl. Wind's a girl. Wind's a girl! Wind's a girl!! WIND'S A GIRL!!! WIND'S A GIRL!!!!!

WIND'S BEEN A GIRL ALL THIS TIME?!!

Gon's view…

Wind was a girl?

Ah, who cares, he, I mean, she is still my friend. Saying that…

Oh no! He… SHE fainted!!!!

I rushed to his, I mean, her side. Was he, SHE, okay?

This is getting confusing…

Killua's view…

I stepped backwards. Wind was a girl?

I watched dumbly as everyone else stopped in surprise. Kurapika seemed to have a calculating face on. Who knows what that guy's thinking? Gon just rushed to her side with Dusky after a slight pause, while Leorio had the same dumb look as I did on his face.

Don't tell me I'm the same as Leorio!

That shook me out of my stupor and I took a step forward.

I mean, she was still my friend right? Or she wouldn't have approached me. I walked casually over to the body fainted on the floor, my hands in my pockets.

I must look calm, must look calm, I'm calm…

I stepped forward and nudged Dusk.

'Is she ok?'

He frowned. Not a good sign. I stepped backwards as I looked properly at the person sprawled in front of me. My mind went overdrive, absorbing and analysing information. A habit I picked up from my assassin years, I guess…

She had a delicate face, and her eyes were closed. Her silver haired was pooled around her in a shining mass while her cloak had fallen apart to show what was underneath, which happened to be a girly white dress. Who knew my friend Wind was such a girl? The top bit looked like a kimono, but the edges seemed to be sewn together. Maybe it just looked like a kimono. A wide dark purple sash was tied at the waist with a really big floppy bow knotted exactly where the kimono edge met the sash. Which means she was really particular about her appearance, for her bow to be tied at such a precise place. From the sash flowed a wide, knee-length skirt, which was spread out like her hair. Slim arms wrapped in some sort of bandage could be seen extending from broad elbow length sleeves.

I widened my eyes at the thinness of those arms. She looked so fragile. The hair and the dress just added to her fragility, all fanned out and everything. I wonder how she survived the hunter test, since she looked so obviously weak. I stepped forward, frowning. Her face looked a bit familiar…

My eyes widened.

She was the girl dancing on the lake.

My hard won calm flew away.

Wind's view again! ^^

I watched through the mirror when suddenly Jeb took it away from me.

'Hey! What are you doing?'

He turned it around, muttering to himself.

'I think it should be about here…' He pressed a button and suddenly sounds came out of the mirror.

'Now you can listen as well as watch!'

'Oh. Thank you.' And I took it from Jeb again, smiling an apologetic thank you to him, since I felt guilty that I didn't say it properly. I listened intently. Killua came striding up from the edge of the mirror. I gripped the mirror tightly.

What would he think of me?

He calmly walked over to my body with Gon and Dusky hovering over it. He had a look of calm on his face. I slumped. Did he care about me at all?

'Is she ok?'

Dusky frowned. Killua took a step back and around Gon so he could see me properly. His face became blank.

What? Does my face look ugly? Nooo… Does it have food on it? I can't check… Damn!

I started. What if… he didn't like me at all? I shrugged my line of thought away as Dusky suddenly put her hand under my skirt and began to reach for something.

Oh. My dagger for painkillers. Good thing I told her where it was this morning.

Leorio suddenly came up.

'Uh, I don't think you should be doing that Dusk. I mean, she's a girl, and you know…'

Dusky whipped her head back, snarling at him. She bared her teeth as she pushed her hood back and her shoulder-length hair fell out.

'Do I look like I care?'

Leorio's dumb look came back on his face. Probably because the two boys that he knew had just turned into two girls.

She got the dagger, and took out the loose syringe. (I hadn't pushed in properly last time I used it.) Then she injected it into me.

My physical body went limper that what it had already been, and hair got into my face. I grimaced. This was so shoujo manga, for heaven's sake! Couldn't I look a little less pathetic and needy? Dusky picked me up and walked me to the door, passing Kurapika on the way.

It was only then that I realised that Kurapika's face had turned to stone.

Like he was shocked about something.

And I doubt it was because of me being a girl.

I looked in the mirror for the ten-thousandth time, but nothing had changed. I was still in the pretty infirmary, where the white gauze curtains were billowing prettily next to my bed. Efoe was on the bed next to mine, though I got the window bed.

My physical body still had the condensed moonbeam bandages on my arms and legs, (I guess they couldn't take them off) and a normal bandage wrapped around my head for where I hit my head on the floor. Of course, the bandage was all anime smooth and pretty. There were even bits of hair sticking out stylishly. Sigh.

I rolled over and stared into the mirror again. The only bad thing was that this mirror only let me look at the surroundings around my physical body. Like the room I was in, but that was it. I sighed again. In the time that I was watching, the only thing interesting thing that had happened was when Gon was put into the bed across the aisle from me.

I heard my bed creak again. I laughed quietly. With all that condensed moonbeam, it was amazing that the bed had lasted that long. I stared up into the queer yellow sky. And fell asleep.

Nothing beats boredom like sleep does.

I was waking up. I realised when I woke up to my numb, pain-killer filled body. I groaned and opened my eyes. Or tried to, anyway. After I could see properly, I turned my head. Gon was still sleeping. Efoe was still unconscious. Immediately after I moved my head, a white coated person came and slid me into a wheelchair (the bed was tippable). Then a black suited guard pushed it out into the corridor, with a short speech, robotic professional tone and all.

'Congratulations, you have passed the hunter exam. You will be informed about the happenings later. The meeting about how to use your hunter card is about to start, around two minutes later.'

I pouted as I got pushed around the corner and into the elevator. So I don't get a personal talk with Satotsu? No fair…

The elevator dinged and I was immediately pushed out. I enjoyed the feeling of moving without actually moving. Even though I had been in wheelchairs a lot in the hospital, I always had drips hanging off me, and I had never been able to wheel myself fast, like this guy was doing. I could feel my hair flying back. Ah, nothing could beat this... It was like having a personal servant walking for me.

They pushed a door open on a room with a sign saying –Meeting in place. Please do not enter– on the wall. The creaking sound immediately attracted everyone's attention. I gulped as every one of their gazes went onto me. Kurapika, Leorio and Dusky immediately got up, but were waved down by President. They sat down, but Dusky flashed me a smile before facing the front again. The black suited guy wheeled me to the end of the row.

'Ah! So Wind-san has decided to join us! We have just started, you haven't missed anything. Just stay there. You should be able hear perfectly well from there, since your wheelchair can't go down the steps. Now,' Netero-san turned to the pink blobby man, 'please continue.'

The pink blobby man nodded, and the black suited guy behind me handed me a book. I nodded him my thanks and started to read.

It was quite interesting really. I didn't even realise two hours had gone when the door suddenly opened. I stared to my right as Gon stomped down the steps and went straight up to Illumi. I immersed myself into my book again. I didn't need to know what he was talking about. I had read and watched the exact scene countless times already. Heck, I could say exactly what the two say at exactly the same time.

I groaned as they said they would start it again. I tugged at the black-suited guy that had wheeled me here.

'Can I go to my room? I can read the rest of the lesson in the book, and I'm getting tired.' I was surprised that my throat was raspy. My voice was little more than a whisper. I frowned. I was getting tired of losing my voice.

The black suit guy nodded and wheeled me off. Kurapika, Dusky, Leorio and Gon gave me a worrying glance. I smiled at them to soothe their worry and ruined the image be wincing. They frowned even more and I tried to get another face ready before the door closed in my face and I was heading towards the elevators.

I quietly read my book as I headed up to the floor where the personal rooms were. I got pushed out into this really plush carpet and the black-suit guy flashed a card in front of a slot. The door opened and he pushed me in. He bowed and gave me the card.

'Please use the phone if you need to go outside the room Wind-sama. One of my colleagues or I would push you to wherever you need to go. I hope you rest well.' Then he closed the door, and the automatic lock clicked shut.

I wheeled myself towards the bed and staggered onto it, falling asleep the minute I landed onto the bed.

Sleeping is the best…

Could I ask Jeb to give me some pineapple, I wonder...?

Back into the yellow skied dimension again… I seem to be spending more time here than in the real world.

Jeb was still there and I approached him, wanting to ask a question on my mind.

'Hey Jeb, how come I didn't get drunk?' He smiled at me.

'You? Drunk? Not possible, since the painkiller mix that I personally made and developed is made out of mostly alcohol. I think only about two or three ingredients in it aren't alcoholic.'

My eyes bulged.

I was perpetually drunk all this time without realising it? Where the hell had underage drinking gone? I sighed and massaged my temples.

'Tell me next time. It's not nice realiseing you were drunk all this time...' Jeb blinked.

'But I got an award for it!' I sat down.

'Have you ever heard of under-age drinking?' He blinked at me again.

'No.'

'Well, let me explain to you then...'

Kurapika's view!

The world stopped for a moment when Dusk told me her real name.

I had suspicions about her after she revealed her gender straight after Wind. The same colour hair, the same eyes, the same age and a similar name. But not the same. Just similar.

When I confronted Dusk about her real name, I didn't know what to expect. Hope and happiness that I might have found another survivor, sadness that I might lose her, or worse, that she wasn't actually a Kurata clan survivor at all. Hope was the worst thing sometimes.

Now I can't face to her.

What should I do? What should I say? Should I tell her? But the most important was,

Did she remember me?

I found it much easier to immerse myself into Killua's case and ignoring Dusk, Dusky or Dusketha.

I banged right into a pole. I rubbed my forehead. How many times had that happened? I wasn't acting like my normal self.

'Are you okay, Kurapika?' I got jolted back just in time to hear Leorio talk.

'Eh, Kurapika, he talked about Kukuru Mountain! Do you know where it is?'

I thought.

'No I don't. But if we look for it, we would end up finding it. After, we'll go surfing!'

'Yes.'

'Surfing?' Gon asked. I smiled back at him and noticed that Dusk hadn't followed us. This pelted my mind back into my problem. And then I couldn't think of anything else, though I could act normal on the outside. Thanks to the autopilot in my brain.

I closed my eyes and sighed.

What was the world coming to?

Dusky's view…

I frowned when Wind winced just as the door closed. Was that girl really okay? Thinking about it, I settled down for the repeat lecture. For some reason, Kurapika had been avoiding me. I sneaked a glance at him.

He had approached me before, asking if Dusk was a fake name. I had told him my real name was Dusketha, but just to call me Dusky when his face went blank and he had walked away really fast. Then he had avoided me ever since then, but kept sneaking glances at me.

WHAT THE HECK WAS GOING ON?!

These were the worst few days ever. My best friend in the world was poisoned and is still suffering the after-effects, Killua just went and murdered the nice old man and left, not listening to our cries saying that we were all his friends, then suddenly Kurapika goes weird on me and avoids me. Why is all this happening?!

Waaaah… I just want to sleep and play chess with Wind and get my butt kicked. Did I mention I suck at chess?

I stared at my book miserably as the pink man kept blabbering.

I buried my head into my book and turned my head slightly to look at Kurapika out of the corner of my eye. He was looking at me, and when he noticed that I was looking at him, he quickly looked away. I sighed again and brushed my French braid back.

Surprisingly, it was Leorio who had plaited it for me, as he said that the hair looked messy and he did it for his mom all the time. I didn't believe he could do it until he plaited it better than I ever could. At least Leorio was acting normal. Kurapika's gone all weird on me (he's not weird to other people, why me?), and Gon's gone all emo over Killua…

The pink man suddenly dismissed us all. The minute he said that, I walked towards Kurapika. When we were walking out, I tried to talk to him.

'Hey, Kurapika-'

He suddenly shoved forward in front of Leorio and walked faster. I watched him as I stopped walking. I turned around and walked back down the corridor and around the corner. Then I buried my face in my hands. Why the hell did this feel like those soppy shoujo mangas?

But the worst was, I sympathised with them. I actually knew what they felt. Sigh. What was the world coming to? I HATED those weak, pathetic girls with a PASSION!

I sighed. Thinking about this was giving me a headache. I headed down the corridor, trying to remember where Wind's room was.

But then, I remember her threatening me with a hot poker (I don't know where it came from) the last time I woke her up.

Hehe… I chuckled, I should just go and chill and drink some hot pineapple tea, as Wind would tell me…

Does pineapple tea even taste nice?

So! Tell me if you liked it, disappointed, anything really. It wasn't climatic or anything, since it's humor, and I can't do drama for my life...

Thankyou again! Please review of course, for ideas, your opinions, and if you like the story in general! (rescuing Killua comes... next! Hahaha, so excited!)
