Hey! I'm back! Please enjoy this chapter of She was a Hunter! I DON'T OWN HXH
Previously...
Killua sneered, 'She's not my friend anymore, it doesn't matter. And if you tell her then I can kill her right on the spot!' Hiro sat up, his teeth were bared, 'Darn those look sharper than my nails.' Killua thought. Hiro stood, his ice-blue hair shading his eyes. When he lifted his head, his eyes had a glowing red crescent moon and star in them, replacing his pupil. Killua glanced at Shirru, only to see her sleeping peacefully, but something stood out, on her fore-head there was the exact same mark that was in Hiro's eyes.
"I never knew that Shirru was hurt in the first place!" Killua half-shouted at him. "Of course you wouldn't. She's been hiding her feelings since she was eight and a half years old!" Hiro sneered. "Did you ever ask her about her reasons to become a hunter?" "Now that I notice it, we never did..." Gon said. Hiro let go of his hold on Killua's collar, and he slid down the wall.
"What do you mean by that? Are you really fine with dying, Shirru!?" Gon asked. Shirru laughed again. Her eye patch was falling off, slowly. It fell in slow motion, revealing a deep purple eye, though it was mostly covered by her hair. She slowly moved her hair over all of the eye, making the purple eye disappear. Shirru lied back on the floor, her eyes got misty and unfocused. "I wouldn't mind. I like living, but I would like dying too. If I really, really wanted to die then I would've done suicide!" she exclaimed, her voice sounding far away. The mark on her fore-head and Hiro's eyes were fading.
Shirru heard small taps on the tiles above, dirt fell from the ceiling, 'That's my cue.' she thought and slipped into the shadows, putting her hood ontop of Hiro and her head, which Hiro has been sleeping on, and applied zetsu. Shirru gritted my teeth, 'Lucky bastard!' The tiles flipped, and people came down.
Shirru's P.O.V.
The tiles flipped, and people came down.
I was still in the shadows using zetsu. When I saw who my partners in this phase would be, I wished them luck. Killua, Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio were all there.
"That was a short farewell," Kurapika commented. Killua and Gon were just grinning at each other. I silently made sure that my hair was not showing and that my hood was covering my face. Still using zetsu, I approched Leorio and placed a hand on his shoulder. "AHHHHH!" Leorio screeched. That caught the other three's attention.
I busted out laughing, rolling on the floor like a mad man.
Hiro nosed his way out of my hood once I stopped rolling around. He jumped onto the floor and turned back into a human, except, he left his ears and tail there. Leorio and Kurapika just stood there, mouth open.
"You mad woman. You woke me up from my precious sleep!" Hiro complained. "Whatever," I replied as I rolled my eyes, allowing my hood to fall. "Shirru?! You're here with us?" I looked over at Gon and nodded. "Yup," I confirmed. "Yatta!" Gon pumped his fist into the air and ran over to hug me. I stood up and went into the shadows and activated zetsu once again. "Hiro, where'd Shirru go?" Gon asked scratching his cheek, utterly confused.
Instead of answering Gon, he told me, "You looked like you just disappeared on the spot, plus you were using that." Hiro said 'that' slowly.
I stepped out of the shadows, breaking my zetsu. "Don't hug me." I said simply. Gon used his puppy eyes. We stared into each other's eyes and stayed like that. 'The legendary puppy eyes, but that's Gon's version. I have a better one!' I put on my puppy eyes which made Gon stop his puppy eyes instantly. I was sure that I had pink sparkles, tears collecting, looking like they would fall any second, and a sad violin solo going on behind me.
'Gon, Leorio, then Kurapika and Killua at the same time.' That was the order of them melting at my gaze. They all looked guilty, even if they did nothing wrong. 'This is on easy too! My puppy eyes aren't even on full!' Hiro, used to my antics already, just enjoyed the look of guilt on the group's faces.
I stopped my puppy eyes and tossed them all bracelets/watches as another tile flipped over. Down fell... Tonpa. The guys, except for Hiro and Gon showed utter distaste. "Why did he have to fall down?" Leorio asked the heavens. "Che, it's the old man," Killua muttered. Kurapika just straight out frowned. I tossed the last watch at Tonpa, fast. It flew past his face, he stood rigid. "Why did you do that?" Leorio asked loudly, also rigid. "Hmm? I just tossed it," I replied innocently. Hiro and Killua were snickering while Kurapika covered his mouth, but I was sure that he was smiling. Gon was just walked over to the watch and wrapped it around Tonpa's wrist.
"Since we are all here, let's start. Let me explain. This is the path of Majority Rules. The buttons on our watch are how we vote, and of course, the choice with the most votes, is the choice we go with." I explained. "How do you know that, Shirru?" Gon asked.
"The examiner told me while I was waiting for you guys," I said with a look of annoyance on my face. "I got to sit there and listen to that examiner talk on and on, while this bastard got to sleep." I pointed at Hiro. "Anyway, let's start."
A door sized part of the wall lifted and showed the first part of the trip down. Leorio read it, "The door: O=open, X=does not. We have it this early?!" He questioned. "Yes, now vote and stop complaining would ya? Or should I tell the chairman that you want to drop out because you keep on complaining about things that don't need to be complained about?" Hiro threatened.
Leorio shut up and we voted. We looked at the results, O=5 while X=1. "Okay, who pushed X?" Leorio asked angrily. "Ah, sorry! I messed up pushing!" Tonpa said, rubbing his neck in 'embarrassment'. His eyes showed it all though.
Killua's P.O.V.
I was thinking for a long time. Since last night till now, about what Shirru said about wanting to die, and about the possible reasons she wanted to become a hunter. 'Maybe she wants to capture people, or maybe she wants to look for something important.' I thought as I walked to another sign. "Not again! We just ca-" Leorio stopped, seeing and feeling the threatening eyes on him. I could tell that he was scared. Leorio just read the sign, "Which way: Right=O, Left=X."
When the results showed up, it was 4=O and 2=X. "What does that mean? Usually, in a case like this, we should choose the left right? For me, choosing the left is obvious! The right can't be the right way!" Leorio ridiculed us for nothing. I swear, I could see veins bulging on his forehead. "According to scientists, it seems that when people are lost, they most likely take the left path..." Kurapika told Leorio. "I've heard the same thing," I barged into their conversation.
"The examiners know that we usually choose the left side, so they would make the left side harder than the right." Tonpa told Leorio. "Who was the other one who chose left then?" Leorio asked. Gon hesitantly raised his hand. And that ended the conversation. We headed down the right path, stopping once we saw a dead end. There was a platform in the middle, and across from us were clothed people. "The candidates are here, untie me." A person on the other side said. "Okay." came the reply, and the person's shackles fell.
Hey! That's the end of this chapter! Hope you enjoyed it, please review!
