Ra ra ra! More! weeee! Done in one night! hah! sooo late... I'm sleepy! :P


~~~Hours later~~~

It was a raging storm. The boat was going up and down. Swirl and whirl. The waves were huge. I just hung limply on the rail. I wasn't sick. No. I just dreaded going down below. Then the sail turned a purplish color! It was very pretty in my opinion. People were wondering what was going on. I had long ago decided not to question anything and go with the flow.

"That's St. Elmo's Fire." the captain said.

"What's St. Elmo's Fire?" Gon asked.

"It's a phenomenal drift in which tall objects blah blah blah." that's what I started to hear. I didn't pay attention to Blonde's explanation. However his voice sounded soothing.. Weird... that's really weird. Suit-kun started to make fun of Blonde-kun even to the point of making funny faces at him.

Guys are sooo weird.

Then it started to happen. The raging storm with it's whirl and swirl. Ahhhh I didn't wanna gooo.

Somehow I ended up in the room with Gon, Suit-kun, and Blonde-kun. Blonde was sleeping in a hammock. Suit just looked at himself. Gon kept helping people who were sick. I picked an open space and read a book. If I read then I wouldn't be so tense. The other passengers were so annoying. They couldn't stop yelling and screaming but it was so funny seeing some of them roll from wall to wall. One of the bigger guys cried out for his mamma. Lucky fellow.

I was half way through my book in the captain called us four out. I sighed. Put my book back into my backpack and walked after them.

We were in the captain quarters and he asked for our name.

Suit guy just yelled

Gon told captain his name.

and then the blonde guy said his name was Kurapika... WHAAAAAT!? I couldn't help but gasp. It appears no one noticed.

"Sigh. I'm Leorio."

"Call me Mitsuki." I smiled. The newly dubbed Kurapika cocked an eyebrow. I bet he didn't expect that. If this was Kurapika, the one I knew, then he should be suspicious just like I am.

I knew he wanted to say something. Then I thought about it. My eyes were hidden behind black contacts and with black hair.. soo much black. Plus no kurta tribal wear. Who knew what he was thinking.. I could be a spy, or an assassin, or just me.

Well what is your reason for taking the Hunter's exam.

That's not a bad question really. It's not like I have anything to hide

"You're not here to know. You're here to steer the ship." Leo something said. I repeat so much easier to call him suit-kun.

"Just answer the question."

"What if I don't?" Suit-kun yelled in captain's face.

"Captain I'll tell you why I wanna be a hunter. My dad was one and I wanna see what it's like." I giggled. Such innocent reasons. Since he started it I wanted to tell captain too.

"Oi. I wanna find an adventure and look for someone." I told captain.

"Hey you kids. I was still talking to this guy. He doesn't need to hear your life story anyways."

Gon questioned it.

"Why? It's no big deal. It's not a secret."

"Because I don't wanna tell him" Suit-kun said.

"Oi. Why must you yell so much?" I asked. I started to rub my ear. It was getting annoying with all the yelling.

"Hey! I wasn't finished talking to Gon!" He yelled at me.

"Stop yelling at me!" I yelled back.

"I'm not yelling! I'm just saying what I need to say!"

"blah blah blah is all i ever hear from you anyways!" I retorted.

"As I was saying before some brat interrupted me. I always stand up for myself meaning I don't let anyone boss me around." Suit-kun said.

Brat? Did he just call me brat? I started to plan revenge. I sat down and started looking into my backpack. A bag of chips fell out. then my stomach growled and I could feel a blush coming. I shrugged it off and started to eat chips putting my revenge on hold.

"I agree with LeOrio." Kurapika look alike said.

"Hey you. Who the hell do you think you are?" Oreo said. "Next time you better say my name the right way!" he yelled again.

I thought about saying something but just let it pass. I was enjoying the chips.

"Hey Gon. Want one?" I asked.

"Sure."

So i ran my hand into my bag and found another one. I handed it to Gon. So he and I started to eat chips while Kurapika and Leorio argued.

"It would be easy enough to dodge the captain's question by making up a plausible lie. However I believe lying to be a sin and dishonorable."

hmmm.. that's kinda cool.

"However I also feel I cannot disclose the truth with a stranger I just met. My reason for becoming a hunter is much too personal. And that's why I choose not to answer your question at this time." Kurapika said. They are still talking. However I am not listening much. Just enjoying the chips.

Leorio exploded with rage. "Are you listening to me? The name's Leorio!"

They looked at each other. It was a stare down.. til the captain interrupted it.

"If you two cannot answer the question then you both fail at the hunter exam and get off my ship. Now." the captain said.

The looks on their face was priceless! I fell on my back out laughing!

"You still don't get it do you." Captain said. It seemed more of a statement than a question. "The hunter exam as already started. Do you the committee has time to screen each and every person who wants to become a hunter? There's just not enough time with the millions of people who want to become one." Then proceed to show us his license.

I sure was surprised. I looked around and so was everyone else.

"That's from the Hunter's Association!" Leorio cried out.

"No waaaay!" I said. Really Sarcastic.

"There are people like me who not only steer the ship but also screen the applicants. The rest of the passengers didn't make the cut. I will be making my report to the committee. If they reach the site by a different root they will be turned away. What this all means, is whether or not you guys will take the exam has been left up to me. So you wanna answer that question I asked you or not?" Captain told Blonde-kun and Suit-kun.

"I've got no choice. I guess I have to answer" Leorio said. "The reason I want to become a hunter is"

"I'm the only survior of the Kurta clan" came from Kurapika. Yep it conformed my gut feeling. I knew it. However, hearing him say that made me wince a little. Now I was a little afraid to tell him it's really me.

I sighed. Using all my courage I had to speak up. This was the person I was looking for.

"No you're not." I mumbled. Just as Leorio spoke.

"Hey I was just about to tell him my reason!"

That irritated me. So I punched him. Not to hard but I guess it was too hard for a guy like him. He ended up crashing to the wall. I looked and saw everyone staring at me.

"That was totally not my fault." I pointed at Leorio.

Everyone just sweat dropped...

"Anyways like I was saying," I spoke to Kurapika, "You're not the only Kurta still left. I started to take my right contact off. Once it was off I looked at him. There was my clear blue eye looking at him. Needless to say he was very shocked.

Then I was grabbed into a hug. A tight breathless hug. I couldn't breathe.

Then the hug loosened up, "How do I know you're not a spy" Kurapika asked so suddenly. I had known this part would come.

"Well when you were small, you decided all three of us could ride on those animals, ended up losing control, with me falling off, and getting this scar." I held up my hand so he could see the scar I received many many years ago. I was pulled into another tight embrace.

"It really is you" He whispered into my ear.

"Kurapika. I can't breathe." I said. It was weird to be hugged by someone after years of no friendly contact.

"Kurapika! I'm going to die from lack of air and then you'll really be the only Kurta left!" I yelled with the last of my air.

That got Kurapika off of me.

I was gasping for air.

"How did you survive?" He asked. Kurapika looked at me.

"That is a story for another time. My secret!" I said. I knew Kurapika wanted to know. I just didn't want to recall those painful memories. He looked like he wanted to say something but refrained himself from it. That was always so nice about Kurapika he just knew when too much is too much.

There was a groan. It looked like Leorio was beginning to awaken. I walked up next to Leorio.

"Hey there buddy. I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to use too much force against you. I'm sorry." I said. I bowed in apology. I saw my hair. It was looking messing. I looked for my backpack. It was near Gon. So walking to Gon, I had my eyes on the bag. I was acting like finding the person I wanted to find was no biggie. I reached for my backpack and found my brush inside and started to brush my hair. It was extremely embarrassing. I could feel everyone's eyes on me.

I huffed. "Will you guys please stop staring at me! Isn't there a question needing to be answered?" I could feel a blush on my cheeks. I'm sure my face was really red.

The captain just chuckled. "If you would continue Kurapika"

Kurapika looked all serious again.

"I want to be a blacklist hunter. I want to capture criminals and bring them to justice."

To be honest it seemed Kurapika had grown. He was more serious. No longer the child he had been back then. As I got lost in my thoughts Kurapika proceeded to tell the captain of our past. When our clan got slaughter.

"...This is why I must become a hunter." He finished.

The captain told him about the class A bounty on the Phantom Troupe. I knew they were trouble. They killed our tribe. I knew they were super strong. It just wasn't worth it in my opinion. Worst case scenario would be the Kurta clan no longer ceased to exist. Well for me it was that way.

"Even the most experienced hunters think carefully before going after them. It could cost you your life." That made me look up. I looked at Kurapika but he wasn't looking at me. More like it felt like he was avoiding my stare.

"I do not fear death. I only fear my rage will fade over time."

You're an idiot! A huge stupid idiot! there's more to life than revenge! come on! see the light! why..

Leorio got up. "Get over yourself already. You can take revenge without going through the trouble of being a hunter."

Finally!

Then I felt that he was a good soul. Call it a woman's intuition. Rare people like him exist.

"Don't be as stupid as you look. Everyone knows when you become a hunter you'll have permission to do what others can't. You can get information no one else has. and places no one else can go. You can take almost any action. LeOrio." Kurapika said. Like he was challenging him. This was so weird.

"FOR THE LAST TIME IT'S LEORIO!" He yelled again.

"Well then let's here your reason Leorio" the captain said.

"My reason? I'm not even gonna try to . I'll just get straight to the point. MONEY! As a hunter I'll make loads of money and then I can buy myself everything I've always wanted! A mansion. A cool car! Top grade booze! HA HA HA HA HAHA!" Leorio said.

"Too bad you can't buy class." Kurapika said. There it was! His spark. Like back then. So defiant.

With that Leorio sighed.. Yup. He finally lost it.

"That's the third strike. Let's take it outside. You Kurta tribesmen are a bunch of dirty halfwits that know nothing about manners." He didn't even yell it out.

"Hey hey. I resemble that mark!" I said trying to ease the tension. Nope it didn't work. It did not work at all.

"You take that back right now LeOrio." Kurapika said. Of course he was going to get offended. Crackers!

"I've had enough of you." Leorio said speaking only to Kurapika. "Let's go."

"Sure any time" Kurapika said. Gosh those idiots!

"GUYS ARE SO WEIRD!" I yelled out.

"THIS DOESN'T CONCERN YOU!" They both yelled at me... well then.

They began to walk to the top deck and I followed. Like I'm going to listen to them. I wanna see both of their skills. I wonder who's stronger anyways.


soooo? good? heh.. maybe... needs work! ahhhh when will love blossom? not in my love life that's for sure! hahahah!

hmmm i need more interaction with these people but the story has a mind of it's own. even mitsuki isn't obeying me! like whaaat? it's crazy. i swear!

I'm adding and reediting things. I felt like some stuff were missing and hopefully I'll get there.
