Hanabi Mirei owns nothing of Hunter x Hunter.
Though, fortunately, she owns this fiction of hers together with her fictional characters. :D
This story is based on the 2011 Hunter x Hunter anime.

Merry-Go-Round Wonders
Chapter 2
"Are you sure you have everything needed for the exam?" a black-haired man asks with hands behind his back.
"Yes, Sensei. I have checked what I have in my bag for 5 times to make sure of it," Chigusa rolls her eyes at her teacher's motherly question.
"The plane ticket?"
"In the backside of the back so no one can steal it from me."
"Map?"
"You gave me that last night!"
"Change of clothes?"
"Of course I have it with me,"
"Feminine products?"
"Sensei! Stop it!" Chiguse turns red from both embarrassment and anger.
The man laughs loosely at the sigh of Chigusa's tomato like face.
It's a bright day in the area near the so tall building, Heaven Arena. It's still 6.30 a.m. so not many people are around the street. Most of the people there are still in deep slumber or getting comfortable in the house. Some take this early hour as an opportunity to jog and to take a walk around while breathing the fresh cold air. Another are organizing their shops which will open in the next hour.
'Geez! I can't believe Sensei have to remind me of bringing that stuff with me! Of course I will put it in my bag first!' the girl's eyes twitch in annoyance.
After the laughter ceases, the thin man turns to her seriously.
"Remember, Chigusa, it's okay not to pass this year. There will always be next year. It's better to forfeit than to be killed by the pressure of the exam," the man says to his student sternly.
"Hai, Sensei," Chigusa bows.
"Good luck with the exam, Chigusa. Don't forget to have fun," he smiles.
"Thanks, Sensei! See you after the exam!" the green-haired girl turns to walk down the street to the airport.
It doesn't take long for the girl to arrive at the airport. She gives the ticket to a machine and takes a seat in the plane near the window.
'There are still about 2 days before the exam commence. Might as well buy some food supplies while waiting in the exam spot,' Chigusa says in her mind.
"Attention, please. The plane will be taking off in 5 minutes. Please switch of your phone and buckle your seat belts to ensure your security. Thank you," says the woman in the front.
The green-haired girl grabs her phone in her pocket and is surprised to have a message. She opens the message and smiles when she read the content.
'Good luck, Nee-chan! Be safe! Kick the other participants' butts! We know you can pass this exam! XD
We love you, Onee-chan,
Calisto & Chemisto :D'
She replies quickly before switching the device off, not wanting to be nagged by the air hostess.
'Don't worry, boys. Nee-chan will pass this exam!' Chigusa stares at the window which reflecting the bright blue sky.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
"Let's see now..." Chigusa looks at the map in her hands.
"The direction to Zaban city is to the right, but I don't see any transportation road to go there..." she talks aloud, "But then again, I see another road that will lead to Zaban city after passing the tall cedar tree which is the direction the judge wants me to go,"
'Hmm... What should I do?' she ponders.
'Why would a judge with a hunter license gives me a misleading direction? There's no way, right?'
"Oh well. Cedar tree it is," the girl decides and starts to walk the long road.
She is now in Dolle Harbor, where many of the Hunter Exam participants will stupidly choose to take the bus. She has heard that no one has ever arrived to the exam site from her teacher and even before the truth was revealed, the tiny lie is as big as an elephant in her eyes.
'Why would the Hunter Exam examiners gives people a way to the test when their mission are to reduce their amount before and in the exam?' Chigusa refrains a laugh when she sees many of them heading towards the bus.
She passes a huge map with three people in front of them without much of a glance while humming a tone until,
"Excuse me, Miss?" a voice calls her from behind.
"Yes?" the girl looks back to see a kid with spiky dark green hair smiling at her.
'Woah... I almost blurt out Calisto's name... Almost blurt it out... They are very similar in appearance at first glance. I thought he was Calisto!,' she manage to hold her surprise.
"Are you heading for the cedar tree up in the mountain for the Hunter Exam?" he asks nicely.
"U'huh," she nods.
"May I go with you, Miss?" he smiles.
"Sure, as long as you don't get in my way," Chigusa shrugs.
"I won't! By the way, I'm Gon!" he holds out his hand.
"Chigusa," the girl takes his hand.
"'Chigusa'? What a nice name," Gon compliments her.
Chigusa blushes a little, not used to any compliments thrown at her, "T-Thanks,"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Inside the Exam site, under a steak restaurant, participants are either standing and sitting on the hard ground. The tension can be felt by anyone, especially the rookies. However, it cannot be felt by this one little girl somehow...
'I'm bored... I wanna go home and play then come back here tomorrow morning,' the girl sighs.
The tag number 81 that was given to her 3 hours ago is kept inside her chair-like gadget which she is sitting on right now.
'I should have download more games inside C-101 so that I won't get bored here,' she let out another sigh, 'It's too late to do that now, huh?'
The girl throws her left leg in the air, a habit she do everytime she is bored. Her fingers are tapping on the arm of the egg-shaped flying chair as she is looking around for some entertainment.
Many eyes meet hers with almost the same emotions.
Pity...
Underestimation...
Arrogance...
And some are amazement.
How?
This girl is sitting on a flying chair which is a technology that can only be bought by people which so much money and yet...
She lost some part of her limbs.
After a few looking, the little girl finds Tonpa poisoning the rookies behind his friendly smile of his in her vision.
'Should I talk with Tonpa to pass time?' the thought passes her mind, 'No, that won't do. My ears can't take his loud voice anymore,'
Yep, the square nosed man's voice hurts her ear very much somehow. She keeps on looking at him intensely until she sees a shiver running down his spines. She let out a small giggle at her successful little prank.
'What should I do now?' the girl goes back into the bottomless pit of boredom.
She rubs her shoulder where the end of her nonexistent arm is surfaced with a glass like material. The glass is there so that it will be easier for her to put in and out her prosthetic arm. The same material is on her left leg as well.
'Hmm... I hope nothing goes wrong with the glass. Eventhough it is harder than any existing metal in the world, there are times when the glass choose not to cooperate with me. In a nut shell, it is causing trouble... My skin will swell a bit on the spot the glasses are put and I will need help to massage the skin on my back when they do...' a sigh escapes her lips once again.
DING!
Her silver hair with blue streaks in the ends tickles her shoulder when she hears the door to the elevator opens. She can't see who it is with all the tall people in front of her and she is in the middle of a crowd. Therefore, she pushes a button with an arrow facing up to elevate the chair. It works perfectly and now she can see who it is walking out of the elevator.
'It's him! It's him!' she gasps.
The light gray eyes of the girl shines as she recognizes the person by the elevator door. She drives her chair to the boy quickly before jumping on the poor boy, leaving the floating chair in the air.
"Killua!" she stretches her right arm and encircles it behind the silver haired boy's neck happily.
