Thanks for the reviews, favs, follows, blah, blah, blah. Sorry for the late update. It's just... school. Yeah, yeah. I know it's a weak excuse, but that's all I got for now. On to the chapter!


How long had it been? How long had it been since they began running?

Karsi was yawning and looking as the people around her fell, one by one. She was near the examiner, like right behind him. She could have sped up just a little bit more to catch up, but Karsi was feeling lazy. She sighed.

It was tiring to keep up that happy naive persona around people. She wasn't faking all the time. She could be happy and actually feel like that. Around Gon, it was real. Gon's too cute and fluffy to lie to. Kurapika and Leon were okay too... or was it Lio? Neon? Nio?

Whatever, the point is that they're not that bad. Hisoka... is really scary. She keeps up that personality so she can avoid him and avoid showing her real self.

'Kuri! I see light! And you kinda lost Gon like... hours ago...' Jen looked at Karsi hesitantly as if she might explode any second.

'I know. I'm Karsi. Not Kuri. This was so easy and boring. I thought that I had finally found a challenge, but no... just easy childish stuff.' Karsi crossed her arms and huffed.

'What happened to you? You used to be such a happy and innocent little kid... before that.' Jen scowled and glared at nothing.

'That? Jen, just say it. It's not as if any one can hear us. I know that m-' Jen held up a hand to stop her. Karsi pursed her lips and looked away.

'I know... It's just that I don't like remembering. Kuri, no, Karsi, thousands of people died by his hand. Millions lost their lives that day. I know that you don't like it either, even if you say you're fine.'

'I am fine.'

'Karsi, for heaven's sake! Kuri didn't respond to anything for years! She was were dead to the world! She didn't eat, drink, or even talk! It was like talking to a brick wall! And quit doing this to poor Kuri! You have your own body!' Kuri cringed at Jen's tone.

'That was four years ago! This is now!'

"Wait! 406!" Karsi stopped. The examiner was still climbing up the stairs as Kuri was right in front of the woods. It wasn't him that called out. It was definitely a female. Before Kuri could think about it, two blurs appeared. One black and green, the other white.

"Goal!" Gon and the unknown white-haired boy cheered.

'I'm gonna call him... UWHB.'

'UWHB?' Jen raised an eyebrow. Kuri furrowed her eyebrows. Jen was much louder. Usually, the louder she gets, the closer she is. Kuri shrugged. She'll ignore it for now.

'Yup. Unidentified White-Haired Boy.' Kuri nodded in satisfaction. Jen sighed and turned away to hide a smile. Kuri was back, Karsi was gone, hopefully for good.

"I believe you both crossed at the same time." That was Satotz. Kuri turned her head. She started heading towards them.

"Hey Gon." She waved. Gon looked at her.

"Kuri-chan!" He ran over to her and started dragging her by the arm.

"Woah. Slow down!" They stopped in front of UWHB. He looked at her curiously.

"Who's she, Gon?" He pointed at Kuri. Gon smiled and flowers popped up.

"That's Kuri-chan! Kuri-chan, this is Killua." Kuri smiled and was about to say something when something or someone caught her eye. Her eyes widened.

"Uh... Hi! I'llberightbackbye!" And she was gone. Gon scratched his head.

"Okay, Kuri-chan... Come back soon..."


Kuri ran to where she saw her.

'It can't be her, she's dead.' Jen looked at Kuri in concern.

'Who? Who did you see, Kuri?' Kuri bit her lip.

'Karsi...' Kuri finally located her. She was sitting at a lake and humming a familiar tune. Kuri's eyes widened. 'This tune... She always used to hum this before I went to sleep... It's got to be her!' Kuri stepped forward.

"Karsi? Is that you?" Said girl turned her head and smiled at Kuri.

"Hey, Kuri." Kuri's eyes watered. She ran forward and tackled her sister into a hug.

"KARSI!" Kuri was shaking as she wept into Karsi's shoulder. Karsi just smiled and stroked Kuri's hair as she held her. Kuri looked up at Karsi through red-rimmed eyes. "How did you come back to life? Father killed you, didn't he?" Karsi smiled.

"No, I survived because a dear old friend of mine had given me a potion the day before." Kuri tilted her head.

"A potion?" Karsi nodded.

"A time turning potion. I could bend time for a few seconds, but only once. So on my last dying breath, I came from the past, when Su gave me this potion and came into the future," Kuri blinked.

"Who's Su?" Karsi rolled her eyes. 'What an overly curious girl.'

"She's a dear old friend of mine," Karsi said curtly. She stood up and brushed off the grass. Kuri did the same. Karsi started heading back.

"Let's go Kur-bear." Kuri's eye twitched.

"I thought I told you to stop calling me that!" Karsi smirked.

"Whatever you say... Kur-bear." Kuri groaned.

"Onee-san!" Karsi stopped.

"Onee-san?" Kuri nodded.

"Onee-san. You are... 18 after all." Karsi gaped.

"Fine. But at least say Nee-san."

"Hai, Nee-san!" Someone called. They stiffened. They knew that voice.

"Over here, Jen!" Kuri yelled back. Jen came out, red and huffing.

"Finally. I found you. I followed you all this way to the Hunter Exam to keep an eye on you, and what do I find? You found your supposed to be dead sister, a stupidly cute and innocent little brother, and a psycho clown! An-" Karsi held up a finger.

"Relax. Kuri didn't know you were here, right Kuri?" Kuri rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.

"Actually, I knew since the first phase." Jen and Karsi looked at her.

"WHAT?!"

"How could you sense me? I went through Zetsu and everything to hide! H-" Kuri tilted her head.

"What's Zetsu?" Jen and Karsi froze.

"It's... m-magic! Yeah, magic!" Kuri raised an eyebrow.

I thought your magic was 'Ha.'" Karsi facepalmed as Jen smiled sheepishly.

"I have more than one magic power!" Kuri gave them a disbelieving look

"Right..." Kuri shrugged it off. "Look! There's Gon!... Holy crap, it's Gon! I'm dead!" Kuri ran towards Gon and Killua.

"Baka! I can't believe you slipped up like that!" Karsi smacked her upside the head. Jen rubbed her head.

"She's got to know sometime! Why not now?" Karsi glared.

"My imouto is way too young. Even you learned it when you were 13! That was last year!" Jen rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah..."

"Who's Gon?" Jen blinked.

"He's... Gon."

"I know that, but who is he?"

"A person." Karsi scowled.

"I'm not that stupid!"

"So you admit that you're stupid." That earned Jen a smack in the head.


"Sorry Gon!" Gon looked at her, surprised.

"Kuri-chan! Where were you? You shouldn't have run off into the forest!" Kuri cringed.

"But-" Gon crossed his arms.

"No 'buts!' What if you had gotten eaten by something? No one would know!"

"... You would know..." Gon sighed. Killua was off to the side watching with wide eyes. Kuri smiled at him.

"Killua, right? Nice to meet you." Killua stiffened.

"Nice to meet you too... Kuri..." Kuri beamed and tackled Killua. Not anticipating the sudden shift in weight, he fell to the ground. Kuri squeezed Killua and hopped back up.

"Sorry! It's a habit after being with Gon! Whenever I meet someone cute I have to hug them!" Kuri held out a hand to the blushing Killua.

"I'm cute?" Kuri nodded.

"Yup!" Killua's blush slowly started darkening.

"What? I'm not cute! I'm a guy!" Kuri just shrugged.

"Guys can be cute." He gaped at her.

"Wha-"

"Hi, Kuri." Kuri turned to look at the person who spoke to her.

"Oh! Leon! When did you get here?" Leorio frowned at her.

"It's Leorio! Me and Kurapika were here the entire time!" Kuri blinked.

"Oh... Kurapika and I. Hi! Kurapika!" Said boy jolted and smiled back.

"Hello." It was then that Kuri noticed a very important fact.

"Leorio, why are you shirtless?"

"Err..." Said man looked away. Kurapika sighed and shook his head.

"How is it that you're tag is pinned onto your chest, Leorio? Doesn't it hurt?" Leorio blinked.

"Nah, not really." Kuri stiffened as she felt a murderous aura behind her.

"Kuri-chan..." Said girl gulped and turned her head slowly.

"H-hey, Jen..." Jen was standing there with her hands on her hips.

"Kuriana Cynthia Muto! How dare you leave me behind for them?! Your harem!" Kurapika, Killua and Leorio bristled. Gon and Kuri tilted their heads. They looked at each other.

"Gon, What's a harem?"

"I don't know, Kuri-chan." Jen opened her mouth to respond when a hand clamped over her mouth. Karsi smiled sweetly at her little sister.

"You'll learn when you get older." Kuri pouted.

"But I wanna know now!" The rest of the gang were gaping and wide eyed at the girls.

"Kuri..." Kuri looked at Kurapika.

"Hmmm?"

"How does she look exactly like you? Are you twins?" Kurapika pointed at Karsi. It was true. They both shared the same brown eyes, albeit Karsi's was colder, long brown hair with gold highlights, and slim frame.

Jen scoffed. "Jeez. For a genius like you, you are really idiotic. They're sisters. No, they are not twins, Karsi is older by... seven years." Kurapika's eye's got wider, if that was even possible.

"So she's 19?"

"No, 18." Leorio crossed his arms.

"You said that Karsi is seven years older." Leorio looked at Kuri, who was happily chatting with Gon and Killua again. "Unless... Kuri's eleven?"

Jen shrugged. "Nearly 12. And Karsi's nearly 19... So I guess you two were right." Leorio sputtered.

"B-b-but..." Jen rolled her eyes.

"Kuri's close enough. Don't tell anyone about this. Got it?" Leorio nodded frantically.

"Got it." Little did they know that there was a certain clown behind a tree shuffling through a deck of cards.

"Interesting... So the unripe fruit is actually still a blossom... Interesting..." He chuckled lowly to himself. Kuri's eyes darted to the tree for a second.

'I'm probably just being paranoid.'


Gon went over to Jen. "Jen, are you the Jen that can do magic?" Jen nodded.

"I am."

"Was that Kuri-chan's full name?" Jen froze.

'Oh crap. I wasn't supposed to tell anyone her full name...' Kuri nodded.

'No, you weren't.' Jen sighed.

'Damn. I'm in some deep shit now...'

'Yup.'

"Kuriana Cynthia Muto... I've heard that before..." Killua yawned, appearing out of nowhere. Jen narrowed her eyes.

"Where did you come from?"

"My mother, you hag. I thought you already knew that. But I thought old hags were supposed to be wise. I guess I was wrong." A tick mark appeared on Jen's forehead.

"I am not a old hag, you brat!" Killua frowned.

"And I'm not a brat, hag." A glaring contest began between them.

"Come on Killua." Gon tugged on his friend's sleeve. Killua didn't budge.

"Kuri-chan has chocolate." Gon tried. Killua immediately looked at Gon and cat ears and a tail appeared.

"Chocolate?" Gon nodded.

"Yup! Let's go!" They left with Jen staring at their backs in amazement. 'I never knew that Gon could be so devious. Let's hope that Kuri has some chocolate.'


Reviews

Mr. Kohen: Thank you so much! Your reviews always brighten up my day! Sorry for the late update!

SlightlyYandereMelissa: Thanks! :3 Hihi

MissAssassinGirl11: I'm honored. Yeah, my updates are short, but I'm trying. Maybe I'll re-edit later and combine chapters. I'm glad you like it! It doesn't look like many people do...

persona3adict: Just as promised! Jen appears! You're welcome, but I should thank you as well for taking the time to review. Really? I never thought of Jen as a navigator. How is she like a navigator?

Dragonbooks249: Thank you! It was up there at first, but I didn't feel that my story was that humorous, so I took it down. I added it again, because of your suggestion, though. Kuri doesn't think before she says anything, but that's how she is~ Yeah, she probably wasn't thinking when she walked up to Hisoka... Even I don't know and I wrote the story. XD Sometimes it reels like I'm possessed by the characters and I'm the writing the story, but they are. How will she react to Killua's assassin past? Hmmm... we'll have to find out! Killua and Jen probably don't get along because of how alike they are, but maybe they'll get better...
