A/N: If you've been reading, Thank you! Please leave a Review because it really helps me with my writing, specially since I haven't written in a while. Also! after watching the anime, I noticed one character had the same weapon as Dawn. So after this chapter, Dawn will have A different weapon then the flute.
Chapter 2: Words x and x Intimidation (Dusk)
"I'm traveling around the ship, care to join me?" Dawn says. We already departed from our last stop and are now heading to the real destination. A boy, not even older then Dawn and I got on, armed with a fishing pole and his backpack. If I didn't know better, I would think he would be toast if he was going to take the Hunter Exam. But something about him… intrigues me.
"I think I'm going to stay down here. If anything happens, you know what to do." I say. She nods her head, smirks, then leaves me. Two other men follow her outside. "They're in a world of trouble if they actually think they'll get the jump on her." I think. I see a blond kid get up and walk towards the door. I know his intent. "You don't need to help her. She knows how to handle herself." I say to the kid. He ponders for a moment before he turns around and gives me a look. It looked like he was sizing me up, but soon after he walks back to where he was sitting. I get up and walk over to him and stick my hand out. "The names Dusk. My sister's name is Dawn. What's your name?" The kid firmly grasps my hand and shakes it once.
"My name is Kurapika." We both lock eyes and I notice the gleam in them. He's not some bad guy that I would think he was. I sense my sister come back into the room. I turn around and beckon her to us. As I introduce her to Kurapika, I examine her flute. There wasn't any dents in it which meant that she either didn't need to use it or she sent the two guys into a sleep to rival dad's when he just finished a job. She gives me a smirk, which confuses me at first… But then when I thought about it, she must have sent them asleep. Looks like they won't be taking the exam this year.
"I also came down to tell you that a storm is coming, the kid with the fishing pole sensed it." We feel a huge crash hit the ship. It sends everyone reeling except us three and this lean man with glasses. He looked old enough to be well… in his thirties I'd say. He carried a suitcase, but I could tell that his weapon wasn't inside of it. After a while, us four just went on with our abilities. I threw my knives against wall and Dawn just played on her flute.
My sister has this unique power and can do a lot with her flute. Right now, she's stabilizing the room, at least for Me, Kurapika, and the other guy. She's really something. As the storm goes on, the captain comes by to "Check on passengers." Per say, but when he saw us four and called us into the helm. When inside we are greeted by the crew and the kid with the fishing pole.
"I'd like to ask for your names." The captain asked us. We all answered, one after another. But I noticed something when Kurapika said his name… His eyes turned Scarlet. "Kurta" I thought. Dawn must have noticed them too because we locked eyes then looked back at the captain. "Now, why do you want to be a hunter?"
"Well, my sister and I are both of the Yua clan. We were born into a family of warriors but we wanted to break the traditional Musicians and Warriors business. So we wanted to become hunters." Dawn nods her head. Gon, the fishing pole kid, answered next.
"Well I… want to meet my father. He's a hunter himself. So I'm following in his footsteps." Gon says. When the captain was waiting for Leorio, he's the one with the glasses, and Kurapika to answer… They refused and began bickering. That's when the captain said something… He was weeding out all the weak passengers who wanted to take the exam. He was about to fail the other two, but Leorio and Kurapika spoke up on why they were taking the exam. Kurapika wanted to avenge his clan, who had been wiped out by the Phantom Troupe, A deadly band of thieves. They were wiped out for one sole purpose and the only way that Dawn and I recognized Kurapika's heritage… Their Crimson eyes. They appear when Kurta's get excited. Leorio only said that he was in it for the money. That's when Kurapika and Leorio started fighting. Kurapika kept calling Leorio by his name, not by calling him Leorio-san. Leorio also kept making fun and making insults at the Kurta clan.
"Take that back!" Kurapika yelled at Leorio, who was starting to leave. All Leorio did was motion him outside. As Kurapika walked out, Dawn tailed them, making sure she wasn't going to be found. Gon and I decided to help the crew with the ship. The boat was going towards a Water Spout and I wasn't going to have everyone here dying. While Gon and I were heaving the sails. One of the crew members almost flew overboard. It interrupted the fight between Leorio and Kurapika because the two tried to catch the crew member before he got too far. However, they failed in catching him. Gon and I both jumped out to catch the guy before he fell overboard and Dawn caught both of us by playing on her flute. When we returned to the helm, the captain commended us and decided to help us once we reach port. We had to make another stop to drop of all the people that failed. Leorio and Kurapika aren't fighting anymore and they took back what they said. All five of us looked at each other and I could tell that we would be together for the long run, Dawn could tell as well because we both locked eyes and smiled.
