Sapphire POV- (Dream)

Looking around everything seemed so familiar. Grey walls, hardwood floors. This was my old home. I don't want to be here.

"You don't have a choice!" Turning I saw myself. "You're sick! You need help!" My mother was yelling at me. I watched as it all happened again. No. No please. Not this. I thought as tears came to my eyes. Not again!

"Please. Your my mother. You at least must understand." I heard my self say softly fighting tears.

"Understand?! You killed that poor girl!"

Backing away I hit a wall. They seemed to be closing in on me. Help. I reached out but there was no one there.

"It wasn't my fault." Me and my past say together. Hugging myself I closed my eyes trying to block it all out. I didn't want to see the last part. But I heard it, skin on skin. The sound that's haunted me and probably always will.

"Someone please... Please save me," I cried.

"Saph... Sapphire!"

~End Of Sapphire's Dream~

I jerked awake. Eyes opened wide. Blinking back tears I wiped my eyes. Arms were wrapped around me like a protective barrier.

"Are you ok?" Someone asked. The voice was familiar but right now I didn't care.

I hugged them crying my eyes out. Memories I had hidden deep came flooding out.

When I had calmed a bit I said, "Do I seem ok to you?"

I tried pulling away but whoever it was pulled me back in.

"No. You don't." Killua?! Oh that's right we went to sleep in one of these rooms.

"Thank you, Kil." I smiled against his chest.

"Baka, Don't scare me like that." He said relieved.

"I'm sorry, but uh can you let go of me." I said blushing.

He pulled away blushing. "Sorry."

I sighed standing only to falter. Killua wrapped an arm around my waist.

"Are you sure you're ok?"

"Fine." Damn why's he gotta get so close?

"Alright if you say so. It's six so we still have two hours, what do you wanna do?" He asked releasing my waist to my relief.

"I don't know. I'm not all that hungry."

"Me either how about... A tickle fight!" He yelled coming at me wiggling his fingers.

My eyes widened. "No!" Regardless of my pleas he chased me.

Screaming I ran away from him. I almost fell on a blanket. He caught up and tackled me, tickling me.

"Kya! Wait! Wait!" I yelled between laughs.

"What?" He stopped letting his guard down. I smirked.

"Payback!" I jumped on him tickling both is sides. He thrashed around.

"Stop! No!" He said, "its my only weakness!" It only made me tickle him more.

Surprising me he flipped us over.

"Ha. Ha. Just kidding I don't have any weaknesses."

We ended up panting. I was still laughing slightly. Killua was on top of me. I could feel his breath on my neck.

Blushing I said, "Kil."

"Hmm?" He said lifting his head to face me. Damn he's got pretty eyes. What the hell! Don't think about his eyes he's on top of you, God damn it!

"Do you plan on staying like this forever?"

It looked like he finally realized the position we were in and started blushing.

"S-sorry." He said sitting with a blush on his face.

Sitting up I laughed. I ruffled his hair and smiled.

"Its ok. Let's go find Gon."

"Yea."

Killua POV-

We were heading towards the room we fought Netero in last night. There was a buzzing sound coming from the announcement center and then a woman's voice.

"We will arrive at our destination shortly."

Saph and I were quiet as we stopped at the door. The blush from before was still evident on my face. She was so warm and inviting. Like a big heated blanket. I probably would've fallen right back asleep if she hadn't said anything. Shaking my head to clear my thoughts. I turned the handle to open the door.

Gon was looking out the window. We walked up to him. He jumped down from the window landing on one foot.

"Hey how did you guys sleep?" He asked with a big smile.

"Fine." Sapphire replied looking away. Must've been some bad dream.

"I slept good. How about you, Gon?" I answered trying to change the subject.

"Good, but my head still hurts. Netero-san pushed me into a wall."

"Maybe we should go find the other applicants," Sapphire suggested.

"Yea I think it's almost eight."

"Let's go!"

After Gon agreed we began looking for the others. Soon we came to a room where everyone else had already gathered. Some people turned to look at us as we entered.

We all left the airship and stood on top of a tall tower.

"This is trick tower. You have seventy two to get to the bottom of it alive. Good luck," Beans said getting back on the airship and leaving.

Sapphire POV-

"Are we supposed to climb down?"

I looked over the edge. There's no way I could climb down.

Kurapika confirmed my thoughts by saying, "That would be suicide."

Just then someone said, "It's no problem for a top-class rock climber like me."

Gon looked down innocently, "He's going down pretty fast."

The flap of wings could be heard. The climber stopped and looked around. As if on cue bird-like animals flew towards him and carried him away.

"Guess we can't climb down the side..." Leorio trailed off.

"Yeah," Kurapika said staring off at where the man was taken.

~Hours Later~

I had decided to walk alone not really watching where I was going. My stomach turned as my feet slid out from under me, and I ended up in a room. Alone.

Walking around the room I found a screen that said, "Majority Rules."

There were bracelets so I took one and put it on.

About half an hour later I heard voices above me. Please don't let me be stuck in here forever. I heard the tiles flip and looked up. Down came Killua, Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio.

"That was a short goodbye."

"Hey guys! It's Sapphire."

Everyone turned in the direction Gon was looking. Which was me.

Sighing I pointed to the bracelets saying, "Hurry up so we can get going."

"Looks like we need one more. I'm guessing we can't leave this room until another person drops in."

"That is correct," boomed the loud speaker startling everyone.

"My name is Lippo. I am the Third Phase examiner, as well as the prison warden here."

Prison warden? "...on this path cooperation is key. One person being selfish can derail the entire group. You can't start until you have six members. Best of luck."

"What do we do now?" Leorio questioned.

"I guess we wait."

~Two Hours Later~ (again sorry)

"It's been two hours. What if the others all took different paths? Only a fool would still be up there!" Leorio fumed worriedly.

I looked to Killua who had a bored expression. He doesn't seem to worried.

"Calm down Leorio. Your complaining doesn't help much."

"But... What if no one shows up?"

Suddenly Gon looked up anxiously. Kurapika told Leorio to hush so we could all listen. Footsteps could be heard. Then the tile budged and a fat guy rained down.

"Tonpa-san." Gon said innocently.

"Oh. It's the old man," Kil said unamused.

He put on a watch, and a hidden door opened up. Revealing a question.

"Select 0 to open, X not to open."

That should be obvious.

"Forcing us to use majority rule already."

After we put in our answers. It showed up on the screen.

"0: 5, X:1"

"What?" Leorio questioned, "Who pushed the X button?"

"Sorry that was me," Tonpa apologized rubbing the back of his head.

"Are you blind?" Leorio asked grabbing him by the shirt.

"I said it was an accident"

"How can you accidentally press the wrong one?!"

"It doesn't matter," Gon interjected trying to stop them.

"The door opened." At Gon's words Leorio turned towards the door never letting go of Tonpa.

"No, it does matter. He dilerberately pushed the wrong button."

Anger swelled in me. This damn idiot. Of course my anger always had a way of getting the better of me.

"Can you shut the HELL up so we can get moving, we don't have time for this!" Yelling at Leorio to get his attention.

Everyone turned to me shocked. I had been so quiet this whole time they didn't expect the outburst.

"Let's go Leorio." Kurapika said calmer.

"Even if he keeps pressing the wrong button, the rest of us just need to press the right one."

We walked into the room. Followed by the two trouble makers.

"Seriously another one?"

It said ," Do you want to go left, or right. 0 for right. X for left.

Looking both ways I thought about it for a second. Probably right. Right?

On the screen it showed. "0: 4. X: 2."

"Why would you chose right?! Wouldn't you usually go left?"

"Study's have shown that people unconsciously go left when having to make a decision," Kurapika stated smartly.

He started walking towards the right path with Killua behind him. Following them, Gon soon came to.

"So Sapphire, which did you pick?" Killua asked looking at me.

"Right." Looking down. I kinda felt bad for yelling Leorio. Maybe I should apologize later.

Going down the hallway we didn't come to another question. The walls spread out and there was an arena in the middle.

"What is this place?"

"Look over there."

There were six people standing on the other ledge. Their faces were covered with hoods. The first ones cuffs popped off and they rubbed their wrists.

They pulled off the hood and revealed their face. It was a bulky man with dark scars running across his bald head. His jaw was square and strong. He was muscular, but nothing I couldn't deal with.

He was staring us down when I heard Lippo on another speaker.

"Let me explain. In front of you are some of Trick Tower's prisoners."

Prisoners?

"The Hunter Exam Committee has hired them as examiners. You will be fighting against the six of them. The fights will be one-on-one. Each person can only fight once. You can use any methods you like. There cannot be any draws. You will fight until one of you surrenders."

"You can pick who goes first. Use majority rule. So secure four wins and you can pass."

"The rules are simple. However, the fight will not be as simple. Every hour they delay you, they have one less year in this prison. In other words, their goal is to buy time."

"So time is critical during these fights."

"I am the first in line. Who's up?"

"What should we do? He said we could use any method. So that means anything goes."

"We don't know what they'll try..." Leorio trailed off watching the prisoner.

"There's to much at stake without knowing what they have up their sleeve."

"Maybe we should send someone to test it out?" I said questioningly.

"I'll go!" Surprising everyone Tonpa walked forward.

"Tonpa-san?" Gon looked at him wide-eyed.

"I'll act as a guinea pig, so we can find out what they're up to. Consider this an apology." Lies. He's a horrible liar.

"Are you serious?!" Leorio asked unbelieving.

"You guys don't really trust me do you? Do you really want me being the tiebreaker when it's three to three?"

"You have a point..." Leorio sweatdropped.

He took off his bag as a panel slid out connecting our ledge to the arena.

"Will Tonpa-san be ok?" Gon asked worried.

"I'm sure he'll be fine." I replied smiling reassuringly to him. I hope Tonpa dies. I really hate him.

"Now, let's determine the method of combat. I propose a death match."

What?! Everyone seemed surprised. I feel like he just read my mind.

"Well?"

"Very well.. I accept!" Tonpa sounded a little shaken.

"Seriously?!" Everyone exclaimed.

"I commend you for your courage!"

They stood ready and staring at each other. The tension rose as we waited to see what would happen.

"Let the fight begin!"

The man jumped right at Tonpa fiercely. Getting ready to land a blow. Tonpa looked like he was preparing.

"I...I give!"

"HUHHHHHH!"

Did you like it? I sure did. Do you guys like all the dialogue? Oh, and if you want longer chapters tell me cuz I might start making them longer. I can't wait for the chapter where Saph fights. I bet you don't know what's gonna happen. Oh my gosh I'm so excited! I'm gonna go write it now BYE!
