We were just like the brothers

And we had each other

We were down for the good times

We were there for the trouble

Like a thief in the night

Broad daylight

You stole my sanity, and now

You are the enemy, yeah

We were currently in a room, that we had to stay in due to Suites' pervertedness. Turns out he betted most of the time on whether or not a female prisoner was a female or male, and got to ravish her body to 'find out'. I swear when I was told this, I was blushing like crazy and I had punched Leorio head for his pervertedness.

Having nothing better to do, I plop onto the couch. I want to close my eyes and sleep, but a voice call out to me. "Hey, Rin, what did you do to that man? You know, the one you had to fight." This seemed to get everyone's attention.

"Umm well I just, I did this," I made a gun shape with my finger, "and pointed it at his chest when he was within arms reach, just enough to touch his chest, and bang!" I exclaim the last part like a child. They all stare at me eyes wide.

Piku looked at me and says, "What did you do to your finger to shoot him?" I look at him confused. 'Can they not see it.' I think slightly depressed. I point my finger in front of them. "Can you not see this?" I ask them, making a small ball of pale yellow light form on top of my fingers.

They only shook their heads, utterly confused. I'm slightly upset about this, I went into emo-mode, something I haven't gone into for a while. I start mumbling, about how cool it would have looked if the saw it and started rambling.

"No, you were very cool, even though I couldn't see it. I'm sure you were 100% cool!" I hear Gon exclaim. I stare eyes-wide at him before I got out of emo-mode and glomp Gon.

"Gon, oh Gon, you really are nice," I say still hugging him. A cough brought me out of my moment with Gon, as I look at the rest sheepishly. They all just laughed at me. 'Come on Rin, fix yourself. You're a boy, remember? A normal male doesn't just throw himself on another male. Well, besides Freed and Laxus, although Freed does more of the embracing.'

"Oh yeah, Rin," Gon says, gaining my attention."What path did you get before you came here?" Killua seems to also have an interesting in my choice route, because it looks as if he has given me more attention.

"Uhh….my route was…." I say thinking back to the beginning of my route. 'There was individual and majority rules, and regret and sorrow, and left and right, a lot.' I think back to the recent events, as it starts giving me a headache.

"Aha, I remember!" I exclaim to them. I look at them excitedly.

"So that means you forgot what it was," Killua deadpans as I look away in embarrassment while mumbling an audible 'sorry'. The two boys only look at each other before laughing at me.

"Hey..hey, it's not my fault I didn't remember right away…" Their laughter dies down slowly then stops completely before staring at me in amusement(Killua) and confusion(Gon).

"What do you mean?" Gon asks

I only sigh. "I got the 'Path of Insanity'," I say, remembering the words I first read.

They both look at me shock. Well I would too if I were in their shoes. I mean if you got path of insanity you were supposed to become insane right, yeah thats right, but I was insane to begin with….

"At first, I thought the path of insanity was going to be a total mind twisting experience, along with a lot of traps everywhere, trying to set off your nerves. Or major mind games, or find-the-door-in-the-dark game." I explain. "I thought it was just going to make the person go insane, which I know I'm far from that line by now."

They start to laugh a little from this, then I continue, "Trust me when I say it was the total opposite, there was no traps no mind twisting experience nothing, only a few non-jumpscares and skeletons. After a couple of hours a door showed up. I had to choose between right, which was 'sorrow' and left which was 'regret'." I stop and look at them, and they nod their heads for me to continue. "I chose sorrow, after some time of thinking, 'cause I'm sure regret would make me want to kill myself." I said with a slight laugh, I already had that feeling multiple times.

They looked at me with sad eyes, before either could say anything, I continue, "Then I had to deal with a memory that had haunted me, even till this day it still does" I say, bitterly, but I still go on before I can dwell on it too much. "Then when I finished I had a choice between 'Individual' and 'majority rules',not wanting to go through more mental stress, I chose majority rule," I say concluding my journey.

I yawn, with my mouth wide open. I am really tired. I look at them, the question that was ask caught me off guard completely. "Why do you have sharp teeth?" innocent Gon question.

"Because I'm a demon." I say with a smirk as I fall back onto the couch for some sleep.

I woke up by somebody talking. "Do you think he was joking" I hear someone say.

"No, I don't think so, but why would he say that?" I hear another familiar voice say.

"No remember he said he could see the future, maybe he was joking like he was at that time," one tried to reason with the other.

I immediately shot up startling the two people who were mumbling next to me.

"I'm bored," I say, waking up from my nap. "Is there anything to do?" I turn my head towards Gon and Killua, the culprits who were talking. They stop their conversation and nod. With that, we begin search the room.

After a while of searching the room, we have learned that there wasn't even a single thing remotely entertaining. The TV in the room works, but Old man was hogging it up telling us to wait our turn, there were books but they were mostly about survival, artifacts, and philosophy. Most of the food provided in the fridge had already been scarfed down by the box-nosed fattass.

For now, Killua is showing Gon and I the cool trick he had done on his skateboard.

"Shut up!"

My head shoots up as I hear Leorio shriek. He is standing above Tonpa with his fist raised, looking really pissed off.

"You don't even want to be a Hunter!" Leorio shot at Tonpa, who continues to sip his drink. "You only care about ruining our chances."

I narrow my eyes as Tonpa smirk to himself right before a saw a familiar yellow skateboard going flying over his head and smash into the wall. I turn around only to come face to face with a Gon, who was laughing nervously.

"Hey!" Leorio yells at him. "What are you doing!?"

Gon scratches the back of his head and sent him an innocent smile. "Sorry!" he apologizes and I roll my eyes.

"Don't skateboard in here!" Leorio finalizes and I hear Gon whine, then it hits me. I won't be able to skateboard, 'and I really wanted to learn too.' I think dejectedly, going back to my emo-corner. Sensing my distress, Killua crouchs next to me.

"I can teach you later," I hear Killua whisper next to me. I grin at him. Happily, I glomped him into a hug, just like I did to Gon.

After that, the hours passed by slowly until the lights in the room dims. Everyone assumed it was because it was getting late so we all settled down to sleep. I lay in between Gon and Killua as we shared one of the couches as a cushion. Leorio and Tonpa were snoring away while Blondie, Killua and Gon were sleeping peacefully. I fall asleep, too, but am awoken by something shifting ever so slightly, yet I felt it. I wonder. I turn towards Killua. His blue eyes were staring up at me, glowing in the darkness.

"Sorry," he whispers. "Did I wake you?"

I only shook my head no, "Shouldn't you be sleep?" I ask the boy, slightly worried about him.

"Yeah, but I'm not tired. If it was necessary, I could go days without sleep."

I frown at him and felt sad. "It must have been hard," I whispered sadly.

Killua gives me a confused look. "What?"

I turn to face him fully. "Training to be an assassin all your life. It must have been hard."

Killua shrugs. "Not really."

"Can't sleep?" I jumped as Kurapika spoke to us. Killua repeats what he said to me to the blonde.

Kurapika nods in understanding before he looked up at the timer that sat above the door. "10 hours have passed, huh…"

Killua glances up at the timer as well. "It's hard to tell since there aren't any windows, but it's probably morning." I groan and slump back down onto the couch. A yawn escaped my mouth as I glance over at the sleeping Gon, only to pause and smirk. He is no longer breathing deeply and his eyelids were constantly moving. He's awake.

A pillow suddenly soars over me and towards Gon, only for the 'sleeping' boy to catch it and throw it back. I caught the slight twitch of Gon's lips as he tries to hide a smile.

I grin and grab the pillow off of Killua, sitting up and grinning as I peg it at Gon, with only just enough force to send him tumbling back.

Gon's eyes open as he caught it this time before he sat up and hurl it back at me. I duck grinning like a madman. Killua must have caught the pillow because it's sent right back again. The pillow fight somehow escalates into a wrestling match amongst the three of us. Gon pulling my leg, Me about to bite Killua's arm, and Killua pulling his arm away while his other arm elbows me.

"Oi….pipe down." Leorio's tired voice calls out. Gon, Killua and I pause our match to laugh at the situation.

"Let me sleep some more," the older ten whines again.

I laugh at this and yell back at him, "Old Man!" I know that will get him riled up.

"What did you say-" he is cut off by Tonpa putting his foot on Leorio's face.

I laugh along with Gon, Killua and Blondie when Leorio scrunch up his face in disgust before sitting up and marching up to Tonpa and getting in his face.

"Bastard, you better not be pretending to sleep," Leorio hisses venomously before backing away.

I laugh even harder when I see Tonpa open one eye and smirk.

"Damn, now I'm wide awake." Leorio groans as he sat down and glances at the clock. "And we still have 40 hours left?" I yawn and blink my eyes tiredly, I could defiantly use some sleep, and with that I nod off.

I awoke again by someone shaking me. I glare at the person, then realized it is Gon, "I'm going to show Killua how to use the fishing rod, do you want to see?" I think for a second then nod rapidly.

Gon starts explaining that if we want to catch the fish, we should think like a fish. 'But-but fish can't think, they can't reason so they can't think, maybe on instinct, but they can't think but-but.' I keep going on and on inside my head until I feel something come into contact with my head. I start clutching it, hoping it will lessen the pain.

I glare at the culprit, Killua, but he can't see it do to the hood. I silently start cursing him and planning his death. I decide to come out of my planning-killua's-death mode. When I looked up, I see Killua pulling on Leorio's pants, as if he was a fish.

I start giggling until Leorio exclaim he wasn't a fish, only for Killua to reply with, "It wasn't like I was going to eat you." At this point, I'm hollering and holding onto my side. When I finish my laughing session, I'm give a turn with the fishing pole.

I was terrible….no worse that terrible. At first I started moving it slightly, then moving it back and forth even faster, but lost my grip. Lets just say it flew out of my hands, into Piku's pile of books and it fell on top of him. I had another bump on my head and a laughing Killua as he mocks me at my misery.

"Rin, can I try that" I hear Gon say.

"Yeah," Killua says. In a whisper he says, "But can we just call it a cloud?"

"No," I say, "referring to it as that is more fun." I sigh, I was hoping they forgot about it. "Okay, okay just let me get it ready." I say, putting my hands up in defence, signalling I give up. I slowly touch my neck thinking of the cloud and it slowly appeared in front of me, although it forming slower than usual. I turn around to face the boys and held the cloud out.

"Tada! Producing Rin's best pillow in the world, The sleep cloud!" I say as if showing it on a commercial. They look amazed.

"Ne, ne, can I sit on it?" Gon says. I nod my head, letting a huge smile across my face. He slowly sat on it as if one touch and it will shatter. He sat on it and starts playing with it even more amazed. I feel something missing and look at Killua with a bewildered expression.

"How can you even do this?" he questions in confusion, but still amazed.

I smile at him, "Magic." He then looks at me with an angered expression. Why would he be angered. "Here you go saying stuff like that, at first it was seeing the future, then you being a demon, now its magic! What is all this!?" he yells at me, demanding a logical explanation.

I only smile a sad smile at him. "I was joking, maybe," I mumble the last part so no one can hear. I wipe the upset expression from my face in beam at the assassin. "Stop worrying about the small stuff, Kil-chan, come on let's ride!" I say in pure excitement hoping onto my cloud, Gon already on. Killua looks displeased at his new nickname, but get on the cloud none the less.

I look at them excitedly, and scream, "ONWARDS!" to the cloud and it starts moving slowly then speeds up really fast, as we went around the room. I was in pure bliss, we were all laughing in pure happiness. I've never actually tried this this before, but of course I don't tell them this.

Until someone chucked a pillow at me, making me fall off my cloud and disappears from under killua and gon, making them fall to the ground. Sliding against the floor, my hood comes off without me knowing it.

I got up slowly glaring at the suspect, Leorio. I was about to stomp on his face when I heard someone say shocked,"Rin, you're a girl?" I give Killua a perplexed look, wonder how in the world he suddenly came to the assumption. I then realize the hood of my hoodie has fallen off. My expression goes blank as I tuck my long hair back into the hood and walk over to the sofa. I collapsed onto the couch and pretend to sleep.

"Hey, don't ignore me!" he says, pulling me up to him, pulling off my hood, letting my black and white hair touch the ground. His blue eyes look into my only visible icy blue eye, our nose almost touching. We don't break eye contact until he noticed how close we are. He backs away with pink tinted cheeks. I take my hair back up putting it into a bun. Then putting my hood back on, I pretended to sleep again, only for Killua to repeat what he did, this happened twice until he threw my hood off again, letting my hair flying out, and him grab onto my hands.

My poker face remaining stoic. "Why didn't you tell us you were a girl?!" Killua shout at me.

"You never asked," I tell him with a perfect poker face, which only causes him to become more infuriated. He growls but lets it go, only then do I notice that Blondie and Leorio were looking at me shocked.

"Gon, can you believe her, she just-"

Gon cut him off. "Actually, I already knew," he says rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.

"What- you already knew?" Killua says, disbelieving what he heard. He nods his head. Killua looks at me. "I can't believe you, you had me completely fooled, and I'm rarely fooled!"

He looks away and seemed to be In deep thought. I was about to say something when he turned around abruptly and he seemed to still have the annoyed look on his face but recognition crossed hiss face and he said.

"well, that explains why you act so girly, you are a girl."

Well,I don't think in anyway was I acting girly besides …...those times. Okay I can see where he is coming from. Damn, I thought my acting skills were really good. Seeing as though I fooled Fairy tail for an entire year.

"Yeah, when I first saw her she was really pretty, and I was happy that she was going to join the hunters exam with us. When she asked for a hoodie i was kinda of shocked." I look at him confused as he continues.

"She was so pretty, yet she wanted to cover that up, I couldn't understand why, but when she told me 'the way I look. My hair is perfectly split into two different colors, people will call me a freak by my appearance. My eyes are two different colors, from what most people think I must be blind because of it' and when I told her it was pretty she only replied with, 'most people don't think like that and I don't want to be the center of attention'."

They only gock at me, all accept fatass who was sleep, which I was thankful for, as if wanting an explanation. I turn to them with a sigh, and start. "From where I come from, most people thought of me as a freak, an outcast, a monster. Because of how I looks, because of what I can do, because of what I am." I explain with a dry laugh,

"You would think that they would be nice, to try and not get on my bad side, but they chose the latter and decided to ignore me and pretend I wasn't there to begin with. Only I wish they would ignore me, instead I got those eyes that burn into my soul. Screaming, taunting, laughing, mocking me. Even if I tried to blend in with the crowd, I would somehow get caught, and get even worse treatment." I sigh thinking of those times I was naive, thinking I could blend in with the crowd, if I covered how I looked,

By the time I finished, they all look at me with sorrowful and pitiful expressions and one that perplexed me the most, understanding."Come on lighten up, I'm happy now, I have Gon and Killua!" I say, remembering about the other, "Oh, and you too Piku! And Old Man." I said giving them a quick smile.

"I'm not old, the name Leo-rio" he says, getting back his spunk. Blondie points to himself muttering Piku.

"Why do you call him Piku?" I turn to see Gon asking me.

I only give him a huge smile. "Because I don't feel like saying his full name." They all just fell back anime style. Piku opened his mouth, and was about to say womething but was cut off by fattasses, who woke up at some point, complaining about food.

I stalk up to him, kicking him on his face so he only fell on his back. I started stepping on his face grinding my heel into his square nose, knocking him unconscious "Piku was telling me something, shut up before I make you." I growled at him, then skipped off to Blondie.

"So, what were you telling me?" I say.

"My name is Kurapika" he says.

I look at him confused. "Kurapika, yup too long on the tongue, Pika is it." I say knowing I already won this battle. "I'll give you a different nickname, Pika." He give his own sigh in defeat at this.

"Now do ya want to try that again?" I asked Killua and Gon. They look confused for a second but then started nodding like crazy. I call forth my cloud and it rides around the room until I feel it happen. We are still on the cloud, so I have nothing to worry about, then realized I didn't tell anyone besides Gon about my curse. Before I get to say anything, I fall back onto someone's lap. And with that let that fell asleep.

I finally woke up after what felt like a millennia. I sit up, ignoring the glances I got from the two boys who are doing God knows what, and reached for my bag. I started going through it, looking for my need. I feel something pointy hit my finger and grin, while the two boys look at me in an odd manner.

I pull out a box of chocolate pocky, glee plastered on my face. I open the box and start looking at the two. "Want one?" I ask them with a smile, Killua nods his head with a cat look on his face, and Gon just nods his head normally. I grab one and ate it, before getting another and putting it near Gon's mouth.

He takes it with his mouth and starts biting down on it. I do the same to Killua, only his face is pink as he takes it with his mouth and quickly turned away once he has it. I decide to split it evenly, instead of giving one to each slowly. I finish mine in a couple of minutes as did Gon, but Killua devours all of his in mere seconds. I only laugh at his love for chocolate.

Right now I'm really bored. Gon and Killua are talking about something that I'm not allowed to hear. They even separated themselves from me just so I can't hear them, but I only caught a few words here and there. Sitting up I scan the room. Old man is sleeping along with fatass. Pika is ready a book so diligently as if it was the most interesting thing ever.

I kept staring at him as he read silently. I found myself being drawn to him. Without realizing what I was doing I called out to him, "Pika," He turns towards me, and smiles asking "Yes."

My eyes widen and before I could prevent the words from leaving my mouth, they have already escaped, "Pretty…" He only stares at me, his eyes widening only a bit. Once I realize what I just said I try to apologize but it comes out like this, "I'm sorry-No I mean you are pretty-No I mean that I didn't mean it-No I uhhh umm…..I'm sorry" I say with my head dropping in shame and embarrassment.

I hear a chuckle and I look at him. He looks back at me, putting his hand on my head rubbing it, "It's okay." I smile at him nodding my head. He is about to go back to him book, when ask him, "What are you reading about?"

He turns back at me before explaining, "It's about different region. Talking about what you can find there, the resources, and information about the people, plants, and animals living in it." He explains pointing to a strange looking animal on one page, then flipping to another with a strange gem on it. The color captivated me, it was a dark scarlet. The color seemed to sparkle even on the paper.

'Pretty~ The scarlet seems as though it's right in front of me sparkling. Wait scarlet. I feel as though I've seen an even prettier shade of scarlet, but where.' I continue to ponder on it, completely ignoring Pika as he explains so me. Then it hit me, 'From that time, on the boat. When the captain asked us why we wanted to become hunters. When Pika explained his reasoning his eyes glowed a bright and vibrant scarlet. Maybe I should ask him about it?'

Deciding on asking him I do, "Pika," He hums in response before turning to look at me. "Remember that time, at the beginning of the hunter's exam, you know at the boat." He nods slightly confused as to why I brought this up.

"And remember when the captain asked us why we wanted to be hunters." He stays silent but nods none the less. Taking a deep breath, "I notice when you gave your reasoning, afterwards your eyes become a pretty shade of scarlet but only for a mere second. If I may, can I ask you why." I know I might be a little prying, but I want to know.

It seems like magic, but they can't see it nor do they have it. So I need to know. He doesn't say anything for a while, and just before I'm about to tell him it's okay, seeing as though it was becoming really uncomfortable, he answers.

"If you remember, I told the captain My clan was annihilated. The reason was My clan, The Kurta clan was famous for their Scarlet Eyes. Our eyes would change into a scarlet when we felt a strong emotion." I nod my head in understanding.

As he opened his mouth, I put my hand in front of him signiling for him to stop, "I have already gotten what I wanted, so there is no need for you to tell me more. I'm sorry if that sounded mean and rude but I notice the look of pain that crossed your face as you talked about their eyes. I won't ask about it if it brings up bad memories. I'm sure everyone has something they don't want to tell someone."

He looks shocked before nodding with a sad smile, "Thank you." He says.

I smile at him, "No problem."

For about an hour I had just spent next to Pika reading books, asking from time to time about a meaning or recommendation. I don't know when but I had fell asleep and when I woke up. Everyone was asleep and all my books were up. I smile at everyone except for fatass, I glared at him, and went back to sleep.

Eventually, we are down to our final four hours, Gon, Killua and I resorting to childish hand games as entertainment. When Gon fails to get his hand through Killua's he gets a flick to the head.

"Oi!" I speak up, raising my hand. "Lemme try already!"

Killua glances at me and turns, holding out his hands. I almost made it through but Killua caught my thumb. The assassin grins at me as I pout at him before he raises a hand and flicks my forehead. I flinch and rub the sore spot, glaring at Killua.

"One more time!" I say holding a finger out for him, indicating I want to try again. He sighs, but does so none the less. This time, I get through Killua's hand, and it is my time to bring punishment. I flick Killua head not hard but not soft either. He holds his forehead in pain.

I smirk at him and stuck my tongue like a , we are down to our final minutes in the room, all of us ready to go. I stand next to Killua, making sure my hood is on correctly and stare at the door in anticipation.

"Okay…" Gon says determinedly. "Ready to go?"

It's a tense final moments before the door finally opens. The moment it does, Gon takes off. I only laugh at his antics, but run after him, determined not to lose him again. We end up running in a circle for half an hour before we find the right path.

We have to ride an insane mine cart, which makes me laugh in joy as everyone stares at me like I'm crazy, which indeed I am. The next part is to run through a room with a collapsing floor and run away from a giant bolder before we encounter the next Majority Choice door.

I stare at the door in confusion. The sign told us to choose whether or not to open the door.

"We're supposed to vote on whether or not to open the door?" Leorio voices my silent question. "We need to move on, so obviously we open the door."

Everyone raises their stopwatches and pressed their buttons, but the tally didn't show up. "Oh, me too" I say, rubbing my neck sheepishly, but pressed 'O' none the less.

The tally showed: O-5 X-1

Someone had voted to keep the door closed. Leorio suddenly spin around and grabbed Tonpa the collar of his shirt. "I've had enough of your crap." He growls at the box-nosed man.

"Wait, I pressed 'O'," Tonpa shoots back.

"Don't lie!"

My brow ticks as I began to get annoyed at their bickering. The door had already opened anyway, so who the hell cared about who pressed what?

"Uh, sorry, Leorio." Gon says with a guilty expression on his face. "I accidently pressed the wrong button."

Leorio sighs and backed away from Tonpa. "Oh, I see."

"Wait. You owe me an apology!" Tonpa proclaims, anger in his voice. "I can't let that slide."

"It's your fault for doing things that making me distrust you. I don't owe you anything," Leorio grit out.

"You make it sound like I'm to blame for everything that's gone wrong. Have you forgotten who cost us those 50 hours? You're the one who made a critical mistake. Not me."

I can see Leorio's rage building with each word Tonpa spoke. I really don't want a fight right now, we really need to leave this tower. Kurapika stepped forward and pulls Leorio away from Tonpa, speaking as he did so. "Hey, Leorio-"

Leorio shrugs off Kurapika's hand and snarls at the blond. "Shut up, Kurapika!"

The hurt on Kurapika's face is as clear as day and I feel anger build in me. Anger at Leorio for hurting a friend's feeling. Angry at Tonpa for provoking Leorio. Angry at this goddamned tower and its stupid trials!

I stomp forward with a glare and snarl at the two as they readied for a fist fight. "Oi! Jackasses!" I shout at the men. "Get your head out of your asses and get them in the game! Stop bickering like a pair of fucking children! THE DOOR IS FUCKING OPEN SO CAN YOU PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP SO WE CAN GET GOING!?"

My hood falls back enough just so they could only see my eye, but they surely didn't want to see it. I was hard core glaring at them, teeth bared and growling. The two men stare at me in a stunned silence, sweat running down their necks and their arms dropping to their sides.

"U-um….It's my fault for pressing the wrong button anyway…" Gon adds in quietly.

"Idiots." I hear Killua mumble and see him slip into the next room out of the corner of my eye. "Wait! Killua!" Gon cries after him, just before the albino stuck his head back out with a smirk."Hey, Gon, Rin…We're getting close to the goal."

Gon spins around. "What! Really!?"

His shout draw the attention of the other boys and they all turned to Killua before going to check out the room for themselves. I sigh and head through the door, but as soon as I stepped through the room, it starts giving me a bad feeling.

The walls were lined with weapons and there was a statue of a weeping women above the steel doors, one marked with 'O' the other with 'X'. Killua began to read out the sign. "This will be the last decision made by majority rule. Are you ready? Choose 'X' or 'O'…That's it…"

We all voted, only for the score to show up as O-5 X-1.

"Bastard-"

"Stop it!" Kurapika cuts off Leorio before he could have another go at Tonpa. "We don't have time to argue about this!"

I step forward. "Kurapika's right. We have less than an hour to get through this tower, let's just all shut up and get going."

Suddenly, there was a mechanical beeping before the voice of the Third Examiner filled the room. "Please choose a path. There are two choices; One path allows six to pass, but is long and difficult. The other path allows only three to pass, but is short and easy."

My heart sunk and I clenched my fist.

'Oh, please. Please don't tell me…'

"Incidentally…" The examiner continued. "The long and difficult path requires a minimum of Forty-five hours to pass. While the other path takes around three minutes to complete. Press 'O' for the long and difficult path or 'X' for the short and easy. However, if X is selected three people must be secured to the wall while another waits in this room with them before the door will open."

I freeze and my blood runs cold as I realize what this meant.

'No…No, I don't want to leave any of them behind! Well, maybe fattass, we can leave him behind but the rest I don't want to!'

"The three chosen will be unable to move until the rest of the time limit has run out."

I see Tonpa and Leorio eyeing the weapons on the walls. 'Does that mean we have to fight each other?' I think dejectedly.

"The Examiners were very prepared." Killua spoke up. "There isn't a weapon missing from this line up." He whistles lowly as he scans the tools.

"Three out of six…" Kurapika mumbles to himself and my heart drops even more. "So we're supposed to fight, to decide who passes?"

"Let me make this clear," Leorio suddenly says in a cold tone. "I'm going to press 'X'. But I have no intention of staying behind. I'll do whatever it takes to be one of the three who pass…"

"You're shameless," Tonpa sneered as he circled around to behind Leorio. "Had you not wasted 50 hours, we could have taken the long path. Shouldn't you take responsibility and stay behind?"

Leorio becomes enraged. He turns to Tonpa with a fist raised. "What!?"

"I'm sure everyone agrees," Tonpa added in as he looks at all of us.

"Hold on a second," Gon butts in, a determined expression on his face. "I'm going to press 'O'." I smile at the boy's kind honesty, glad he wasn't thinking selfishly. Even when we are in a predicament like this he still is kind hearted 'Don't ever change, Gon.'

"We made it here together. I want us to pass together. Even if it's a big risk, I still want to give it a shot!" Gon finalizes.

Killua sighs and held up his watch. "Oi, oi. You can't really call this a risk. We have less than an hour."

I glance at my own watch and realized he was right. "Gon, there's only one choice, if you want to pass the Exam." Killua's tone was serious.

"There you have it," Leorio states, eying the weapons again.

"Now we have to decide on how to choose which three pass."

"Well, I'm planning on them being Gon, Rin and me." The albino says, facing the others, his nails starting to get sharp. I sigh and try to think of how this is going to work unconsciously taking a couple of steps next to Killua, only to get yanked back a second later. An axe embedded itself in the floor where I was previously standing.

"Tonpa! That was dirty to swing at a kid!" Leorio screams, as says this, fat man picks his weapon back up and glared at him. I feel anger starting to roll off me as I glare at the floor where I was standing. I look back up, just to see the fight start.

As Tonpa lashes at Leorio, Killua takes a threatening step forward, towards the box-nosed man as a deadly bloodlust surrounded him. I leep forward and caught Killua's clawed hand, the nails digging into my palm enough to make it bleed. "Stop."

Nobody listening to anything i said.

"Stop." I said with more power, but my words fall on deaf ears. "STOP!" I scream, holding everyone's shadows, before they can do actual damage to each other.

"H-huh? Why can't I move?" I hear fattass say. They all tried to move, but none can accept me and Gon. Once I let only a piece of them go, Fattass let go of his axe, dropping it to the ground, making it stuck into the ground.

My eyes widen with realization. 'The weapons…'. I see Gon pick a weapon off the wall and know he has realized the same thing. 'They could break the walls!'

"Wait!" Gon cries out, making me let go of their shadows so they can move completely. They all stopped and looked at Gon. "I have a plan! But you all need to trust me."

Leorio looked at the boy skeptically before backing down, making Tonpa do the same. "What is it, Gon?"

Gon grins and held up the weapons. "First, we all have to press 'O'!"

Leorio, Tonpa and Kura gave him untrusting looks for a moment before reluctantly pressing the button. The door opens and Gon rushed in, beginning to dig at the wall. I smile at his quick thinking and grabbed my own weapon, only to have it taken away from me by Leorio.

I glare at him, even though he can't see it, and just huff and sat by them, and watch as everyone dug through the wall. They, Leorio, Pika and fat ass were getting tired and I push my way through the group and punch the wall hard. Well, it looks like that to them.I'm actually using my 'holy light fist', but they can't see it, so there's no point in telling. They stared amazed by me, cause please, bitches I'm awesome.

Gon jumps into the hole, but slips and starts sliding. I grin and grab Killua's hand and copy Gon's action. I scream in pure bliss as i travel downwards. When I got to the end, I moved out of the way just in time to avoid the other two from slamming into me. The door in front of us opens and I rush through, a bright light greeting me.

"Rin, applicant #406, is the twenty-third to pass."

I sigh and practically jump up and down in relief. I had passed. We passed.

Together

"Do you always give people nicknames?" Pika asks me.

"Um.." I think. I go over the list of aais I have come up for the members in Fairy Tail.

"Hmm, yeah, I make up names occasionally."

Okay, I know it has been a long time. I have been very busy. For the first week I was sick, and that gave me a chance to post but I was stuck on a part, then the next week I had test everyday of that week, then the last week I had to go to a friends wedding, then later I had a splitting headache. Long story short I had a bunch of excuses but all I can say is SORRY! I promise to update even faster, AND this chapter was long just for the people who take there time to read my story.
