Chapter 2: Hallucination x Panic x Friends

You were getting bored. The exam had started hours ago and you were still running. The only thing to do was watch others trip, but that had stopped being amusing an hour ago. You decided to look for Gon and the others, in hopes of finding something to do.

You ran backwards through the crowd. You didn t see them anywhere. You ran even further back. Then you saw Gon. As you got closer you noticed that Kurapika was also there. But there was something wrong with him. His eyes were red and he was panicking.

What happened? you asked Gon.

I don t know. We were looking for Leorio, and then Kurapika became like this.

He s hallucinating because of the poison on the walls. you heard someone say.

You turned to see a kid carrying a skateboard. You have to snap him out of it. he told you.

How do we do that? wondered Gon.

I know. you said. You walked closer to Kurapika and punched him. His eyes turned back to normal.

What happened? he asked.

You were hallucinating. Then I punched you. you answered, grinning. You re welcome.

Thank you, but there are other non-violent ways to stop someone from hallucinating. he replied.

But violence works best. you informed him.

Leorio showed up then. Hey, anyone here hallucinate?

Kurapika did, but I saved him. you said.

Who s that? he asked pointing to the skateboard kid.

I m Killua.

I m Gon. These are my friends, Leorio, Kurapika, and Sonua.

Friend? you thought. He thinks we re friends. Your thought were interrupted by Gon.

How do we get back?

Killua held up some explosives. I have an idea.

Soon you were to running. You thought about earlier. Friends, I have friends. Well, this exam just got a lot more interesting.
