Na na na na! My Luna Bear had kittens! awww precious! Anyhoo I'm back and ready to continue with my story woot woot! I own nothing but me myself and I! ;D

Let's get on with this!

Satotz kept on talking, "Take care not to be surprised. Do your best to follow me."

"That's wrong! He's lying to all you guys!" I heard a voice shout. Searching for the voice I saw a beaten up guy limp from the side of the building. He has such a funky nose... "He's an imposter! He's not a judge at all! Because the real judge is me!" He shouted while pointing at our mouthless butler. There were murmurs from everyone about who's who.

"So.. What? Who is he?" Someone questioned.

"Look at this!" The guy somehow magically popped out a weird monkey thing. "It's a monkey-man! One of those that lives in Numelle's Marsh!" Somehow it oddly looked like Satotz.. " They let themselves get tamed by men. They know how to use our language skillfully, an managed to trick men in the marsh, where the other monsters, that get along with them are waiting to capture their prey alive. The monkey-men like fresh flesh they have long think limbs, but overall they're weak." He made a mistake telling us that monkey men are weak.. fresh flesh fresh flesh that could be a tongue twister! I gasped! I must be a genius I thought to myself, with excitement. Not knowing that people were looking at me weirdly.. During that time, since I stopped paying attention, the man had continued on his rant but it had stopped abruptly. I used gyo again and saw more nen from Hisoka. The imposter had cards on his face so he was obviously dead but the ever so wonderful butler had stopped his attacks.

"I see. I see." Hisoka said happily. The monkey that resembled Satotz started to run off but Hisoka just threw his card at the monkey and it died. I watched all this with an unamused face. He's deadly alright. I turned and looked at Kurapika and he had such a surprised look. I looked around and just about everyone was surprised and a bit frightened.. "With this it's all cleared. He's really the right judge. In fact, judges are hunters that do this freely at the jury's request. So there's nothing odd about a hunter even from the second zone stopping that kind of attack."

"I'll take this as a compliment. However the next time you use such intervention against me, whatever the reason, you'll be disqualified. Am I understood?" Satotz questioned.

"Yes yes" Hisoka replied not caring a bit it seemed. Soon birds came flying around and started to eat the dead guy's body. "This is what happens to losers."

"It's the law of the nature." Leorio said a bit disturbed..

"No mercy at all.." I replied.. No mercy anywhere on this earth I thought to myself.

"I am curious to know how many of you believed this imposter and were ready to follow him..? You have to be vigilant: survival here is an instant struggle." I saw Leorio and the ninja man appear embarrassed. "Let's go to the second stage of the tests!" He began to run again. Just great.

"Here we are? We're once again leaving for a new marathon?" Leorio complained.

"Shush you at least it's-"

"An adventure. blah blah blah" Leorio complained. I gasped!

"what?"

"It's like you knew what I was going to say!" I whispered scared like. "Are you a mind reader?"

"No. It's just something you tend to say a lot."

"Oh.." I thought about it for a second. Are you calling me predictable?!" I shouted getting a bit upset. Huh is that some haze?

"LEORIO! KURAPIKA! NEE-CHAN! Killua says it's better to go to the front!" Gon shouted at us.

"Might be a bit too late!" I shouted back.

"Idiot!" Leorio shouted.

"If we could go we would go!" Kurapika shouted.

"You'll be able to manage on your side won't you?" Gon shouted back.

"Hell yeah!" I cried out loud.

"Are you kidding!?" Leorio growled angrily!

I looked to my right and left and noticed that the people around us were getting dimmer. It was the fog's doing. Even Kurapika appeared to disappeared. I heard a few people behind us start screaming. I shivered involuntary. This was a bit exciting. I couldn't help myself and started to grin. Around me I still could hear people cry out in terror and some shrieks at stop abruptly.

"All the groups that stayed behind seem to all been lead in different directions!" Kurapika noticed.

"True true." I replied. Then I felt a chill. Suddenly on my guard I noticed cards flying everywhere. They hit a few people and many died right on the spot. A quick and painless death. Kurapika deflected the ones coming towards him. Leorio got hit in the arm by one card but nonetheless still alive. I just caught the cards. They were for beginners. I, Mitsuki, am not a beginner. But that didn't mean i was a pro. I'm not an idiot. I KNOW I'm not a match for Hisoka. Not even close. We saw Hisoka come out from the fog.

"What are you doing!?" Leorio yelled.

Hisoka started to laugh. "I'm playing judge" He simply spoke, shuffling his cards. "I told myself to stay calm during the first round, but this first round is a bit too easy for me. So I decided to give the jury a helping hand. It's my turn to judge you."

"Judge us? You're kidding right? With this mist, if we lose track of the judge, it's over!" Someone shouted. "And it's impossible to find the leading squad again!"

"Your superior ways won't change a thing! You're eliminated just like us!" If I was still a thief I could just slip away.. But nope I cannot leave Kurapika and Leorio alone can I? WHAT THE HELL!? When did I start worrying about Leorio?

"AAAH!" I proceeded to punch myself. I noticed people looking at me... Kurapika raised an eyebrow. "It's nothing. Stop staring at me."

"Behave please. Do not compare me to the likes of you." Hisoka stated. "Don't forget once you're in the afterlife nothing's impossible for a magician." Everyone around us started to head toward Hisoka in hopes of killing him. I knew it wouldn't be easy and most likely none of them would survive this battle.

"There's no way a murderer like you can have the title Hunter!" Someone spoke.

"We'll make sure you won't be able to represent yourself." One threatened.

"Is that so?" Hisoka questioned not even slightly worried. Why should he? He knew nen and none of the others did excluding myself. "This one card will be enough to take you all of you!" He held up a four of hearts card. Not sure why but I noticed the card. That seemed to angry the guys. They all started going at him and he began his killing fest. A lot of participants died. Many whom were bleeding of neck wounds. If I had to go through something like that I'd come out with a few wounds. Not completely scratch free like Hisoka just did. He sure was something else. I turned to looked at Kurapika and Leorio and they were surprised and scared. I sighed. I didn't want to die but I didn't want them dying either. Even stupid Leorio.

Standing in the middle of the field of dead bodies stood Hisoka grinning like a madman. "You've all failed." He said a bit happier than I expected. That's when he noticed us.

"There are only four of you left." Hisoka pointed at us. Kurapika got into a fighting stance. I looked and saw #78 standing next to us. Every one of us were a bit worried. Hisoka started to walk towards us. #78 whispered to us, "Listen at my signal we all go in different directions. He's really strong." "It's because he has no hesitation about killing people. It's like us killing flies." I explained to them. 78 whispered to us, "The distance which separates his battle techiques from ours is as large as that between heaven and earth. Even by attacking all at once its obvious he'll have the upper hand. We have no chance of winning... You surely also have good reasons for becoming Hunters. It would be stupid to lose now."

"Now!" 78 shouted. We all ran into different directions.

I heard Hisoka say something. "Oh! I like this! I'll give you a 10 second head start." He began to countdown. I didn't want to use zetsu. It was too risky. I just hoped I wouldn't be found first. That's when I noticed Leorio's presence stop and turn back. Such an idiot! I contemplated about leaving him. Sighing I knew I couldn't so I turned around and went back to help him. I just hoped Kurapika would be safe. Running back I heard Gon's voice where we had left Hisoka.

"KUSO I'M SO GOING TO KILL YOU GUYS IF WE SURVIVE!" I yelled to them. When I got to the site Leorio was already on the ground. I wondered if he had already died but I heard his breathing. I was relieved til I saw Hisoka was holding Gon.

"Come to help your friend?" Hisoka asked. "You are such nice kids." Kids? That's when I noticed Kurapika a few yards away from me. I saw Kuapika look a bit determined.

"Don't worry I won't kill him." I heard Hisoka tell Gon. "Because your companion qualified. As a matter of fact, you as well. You will become a good hunter." His pocket started beeping. The person on the other side told him to hurry up. "Both of our companions are waiting for us." He told Gon. "You'll find your way back on your own?" Gon nodded. "What a good boy!" Hisoka said creepily. With that he disappeared into the mist. what the hell did he mean by that? Hisoka is really strange...

"Gon!" Kurapika and I shouted at him. We began to run towards the weirded out boy. After confirming he was okay we started to run towards what I hoped was the finish line. I saw Gon sniff the air. "This way!" he ran.

"You sure?" Kurapika questioned.

"Yup. Leorio's aftershave is easy to recognize! So we can follow them a long distance!"

"Speak for yourself!" Kurapika yelled. "As you can see there are many dead animals on this path. I guess they tried attacking Hisoka."

"Poor animals" I said to no one.

"Hisoka said Leorio qualified.. Do you know what that means?" Gon asked. "Don't worry, I won't kill him. Because your companion qualifed. He said he was playing judge. But he was really testing us. But how does he do it? He just looked at me.."

"Maybe, but you did hit him didn't you?" Kurapika said.

"What!? You hit him? That's incredible!"

"I did but Lerio didn't. He even got knocked out! But even so he said he was qualified."

"Maybe he sensed you two were connected somehow.." Even Kurapika didn't have an answer.

"Maybe he just likes fighting." I spoke putting my two cents in.

"I can't believe Hisoka's not a hunter. But you'd have it's often that people with special abilities recognize those who are their equals. it was probably his experience an intuition that enabled him to sense your potential for becoming a hunter." Kurapika reasoned. "Killing them now wouldn't bring me any fame. That what he must have told himself." He looked at Gon. "Sorry. It's a bit harsh to say that.." He apologized. I nodded after all some people are like that.

"Not it isn't. I believe I'm beginning to understand the strange sensation I had back there. I was feeling terrible pressure. I wanted to run away but I couldn't turn my back to him. Even by defending myself, I knew I couldn't win! I told myself I might die. On the other hand knowing all this, I was really excited! Strange huh?"

I began to laugh. They looked at me strangely. Wiping away a tear I spoke, "It's not strange at all. I've encountered a bunch of people who lived to fight. That's what was always in their mind. They loved the thrill of the fight. Loving challenges. You're not strange. You like to fight." Kurapika looked at me questioningly but I wouldn't meet his eyes. I didn't want to think too much on the past. As we kept running I faintly began to hear people. It was like a murmur. I knew we were already close. I heard Satotz begin to speak. We were there!

"Great we made it in time!" Kurapika said.

"Now where's that idiot?" I questioned searching the crowd for Leorio. Gon spotted Hisoka and he pointed to Leorio sitting against a tree. Kurapika began to look over him. When he was done he concluded everything was fine except for his arm.

"Are you mocking me? What about my face?" Leorio shouted.

"At least you're alive you dummy!" I said swatting his head.

"Ow! What was that for?"

"I saw a mosquito and had to whack it away."

"You're lying! You hit me on purpose!"

"Did you get bit? No! You should be thanking me!"

"When did you regain consciousness?" Gon asked.

"Well after getting here I think.. this still doesn't explain this thing on my face. I must admit I don't quite remember what happened after we reached the marshes." Leorio replied completely forgetting our little fight. I stared blankly at him.

"No use telling him." Kurapika whispered to us.

"Agreed."

"Yup." Gon noticed everyone looking at the hanger. "Why is everyone waiting outside the hanger?"

"We can't get in" said Killua, the white haired little boy.

"Killua!" Gon shouted excited.

"Yo." Gon then proceeded to tell Killua what happened. During that time I could only hear the groans and growls of what was inside. Oddly it sounded like stomach growls.. But it couldn't be... could it? I was going on a whole new level of crazy trying to figure out what it was.

Leorio stood up. We walked to the building too. "You can sense the tension building up." Leorio said.

"Normal. Since we don't know what will happen.." Kurapika reason once more.

"Maybe it's a giant animal that will eat any one of us that tries to get near it's eggs and we have to grab one of them and if we don't succeed we are doomed as loser!" I gushed out. Kurapika just facepalmed at my words. My internal clock struck noon. That meant it's time for me to eat. I opened up my bag as the doors opened. Damn it! I wanted to eat. Looking inside I saw two people, a skinny mini and a huge troll. I knew it was someone's stomach! His is what all the noises were.

Huffah! I am done with another one! keep following and favoriting it helps my writing spirit! Bwahahah! I'm hungry so I gotta go.

Hope love and peace does not fuel a gas tank.
