Chapter 2
Viiri's PoV
"Yoroshiku, Viiri!" Gon said while giving me a big smile.
"Yoroshiku ne, Gon-kun…" I replied, with less enthusiasm. Suddenly, I feel a chill come down my spine. "Gon-kun, there's going to be a big storm…and a dangerous one at that, my mind said so…so be careful…" I told Gon while looking at the sky.
"You mind told you? I can smell it, but it's not my mind who told me! Wah! Elin was right, you can predict the future!" Gon exclaimed with shiny eyes.
"No, I prefer to call it 'instinct', and Elin," I turned to look at Elin. "Don't lie to an innocent kid with big mouth of yours!" I glared at her, this is the 2nd time she lied about me, first, about my personality to Quela. (Who is hyper-active?)
"But you can do it, right?" My innocent friend asked me.
'It will be hard to deal with two innocent kids at the same time…' I thought as I look at Elin and Gon. Suddenly Elin whispered to me,
"I know, this afternoon was your first time watching Hunter x Hunter!" And then she gave me a wink and went back to talking with Gon.
I don't want to interfere them, so I go as far as I can from them.
I stared at the clouds in the sky and mumbled something that I didn't understand too.
"Ne, Quela…" I called.
"What?" She (or it) jumped out from my backpack and looked at me questioningly.
"What kinds of people are targeting you?" I asked Quela.
"They call themselves 'The Ace'; they are consisted of humans and animal dolls. From what I know they're good at fighting and have specials powers…in this world, it is called Nen." She slowly explains to me.
"Oh…" I said, while nodding.
"But it isn't Nen. Actually, it's the kind of power that I gave to you and Elin, just say 'Reverse Armour!' and that armour will appear, though I didn't tell Elin yet..." She continued explaining.
"I'll tell her later when they attack. If I tell her right now, she'll keep saying it." I said, and then I looked at Quela. "You can go back now." I opened my backpack to let the cat in.
"You seem lonely…" I just realized that after I talked with Quela…Kurapika was beside me.
'My, Elin said that Kurapika is very smart...what should I do?' I was acting normally outside, but crazy inside.
"I mean, you're talking with a cat, you understand cat language?" He continued, this time asking a question.
"Yes, I can, and I'm not lonely. I have Elin by my side." I answered with a calm voice.
"She's really different from you, and she's not with you right now." My, how genius he can be? It's almost impossible to lie to him since I'm also not the type that's good at lying.
"Okay, I'm not the type that's good at socializing or something like that, now are you satisfied?" I don't really feel like talking right now. Since I felt that chill and found about the storm, and there's also that problem about Quela to think about.
"You worried about something?" Kurapika suddenly asked me.
'Oh God! He can read my minds too!'
"Yes, and you don't need to know…" I replied, standing up and going inside the ship.
When the storm occurred, Elin and I were not affected at all. Since every week, Elin's little brother would always force us to ride the rollercoaster with him.
I was sitting on the floor near the hammock where Kurapika was lying on, while Elin was looking around the room with an excited look. I sighed.
Elin's POV
My, how exciting it is talking with Gon! But right now, I'm going to help him help the other passengers, or maybe talk with Viiri...she's very quiet. OKAY, I WILL TALK WITH VIIRI INSTEAD!
I approached Viiri and sat beside her. Suddenly, she punched my head hard, "Hey! Why did you punch me?" I asked her, a vein popping in my head.
"And why were you shouting?" She asked me with an annoyed face.
"Eh?" I looked at her with a confused face, completely forgetting about her hitting me. And suddenly, I realized that while I thinking awhile ago, I was saying it loudly. I laughed nervously while Viiri glared at me.
"OI, YOU FIVE! FOLLOW ME!" I heard the captain suddenly call us, which got all of our attention.
'This is it! This is when the captain asks the gang why they want to be a Hunter!' I though excitedly. 'Wait,' I thought as I suddenly realized something. 'What should I answer?' And then I go crazy inside.
Viiri's POV
The Captain asked our names first, and then…"So, why do you want to be a Hunter?" The captain asked, directing the question to all of us.
"I want to find my father!" Gon exclaimed excitedly, raising his right hand like he was answering in class.
"Oi boy, don't answer so easily!" The 'ossan' told Gon, and it sounded like he was scolding him.
"But he was asking us a question, so I answered it!" Gon said with enthusiasm.
'I can't believe I found another simpleminded person like Elin...' I thought, sweat dropping while looking at Gon, but at the same time, agreeing.
Suddenly, Kurapika said something that I didn't really understand, but the point was, he didn't want to answer the question.
'Just answer immediately…but what should I say?'
While I was thinking, I suddenly I felt a weird tension in the room. It looks like Leorio (Elin told me awhile ago) and Kurapika was having an argument about their precious pride (?) and wanted to fight. The captain wanted to stop them, but Gon said that his aunt—Mito-san—lectured (?) that if you want to know someone; you should know why they're angry. That 'Mito-san' has a point. After that, my brain went crazy again.
"Viiri, let's help them!" Elin suddenly said, disturbing my thoughts and dragged me outside. While me, Elin, Gon, and other sailors worked hard to save the ship, Kurapika and Leorio were still arguing.
Suddenly, a sailor named Katsuo (If it's wrong, I'm sorry!) fell to the sea. Kurapika and Leorio saw this and tried to catch him but failed. But suddenly, Gon jumped to the sea to catch the sailor and luckily Kurapika and Leorio caught him in time before he was out of reach.
'SERIOUSLY!? Wait…what's that sound?'
I hear the weird sound again.
"Viiri, what is that sound?" Elin, who I expected to do the fan girl thingy again, looked surprisingly worried, asked.
"Elin, say..." I whisper the keywords and suddenly, a weird metal hand-warmer appeared on my left hand with a metal glove on my right hand. (I couldn't see the colour because it's very dark there)
"Reverse Armor…" Elin repeated, and 2 metal gloves appeared on her palms.
"What is this thing?" I asked Quela, who was inside my backpack.
"It's your level zero armor. Viiri's type is offensive archer, but can heal too. And Elin's type is defensive ring, but can be used to attack people too…just imagine it!" Quela explained briefly and went back inside my backpack. After Quela went back, we suddenly see a blazing body octopus.
"WHAT IS THAT!?" Elin shouted with a look of surprise. (not fear)
"Is that thing supposed to appear!?" I asked with a panicked expression.
"OF COURSE NOT! Let's go Viiri, I don't want to change the story, and if Gon and the others die here, it will change the story even more!" Elin said, in her serious mode.
"Wakata!(Okay/ I understand!)" I ran towards the octopus' tentacles. It's hot, but my heart became hotter when I saw that the octopus was targeting Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio.
"LIKE I WOULD LET YOU, YOU DARN ACE!" I got an arrow and targeted the octopus' tentacle and managed to stop it.
I landed safely in front of the trio, "What kind of thing did you just shoot?" Leorio asked with a confused face, with a hint of fear.
"Lat…I also don't know!" I said hurriedly, not wanting to answer the question.
Suddenly, Gon disappeared from my sight. When I turned around, I saw Gon being held by a tentacle, and Elin, who tried to stop the tentacle to get inside the sea with her new rings-maker power.
"HURRY UP VIIRI! I CAN'T HOLD THIS ANY LONGER!" Elin shouted through gritted teeth.
"AS I TOLD YOU BEFORE…LIKE I WOULD LET YOU! DIE YOU DARNED ACE!" I released all of my anger as I shot an arrow at the crystal of the octopus' head, the octopus disappeared and suddenly, everything went black.
Elin's POV
Wow. Viiri's really strong when she's angry, but suddenly, she fell unconscious and almost fell to the sea but thankfully, Kurapika caught her before she did her. Thank God.
After that, we went inside the ship, and the Captain told me that he wanted to talk. We really did change the story.
"What kind of octopus is that?" The Captain asked with a cautious face.
"I think Viiri knows, since I don't know what 'it' is…but please keep it a secret! We will tell the Hunter Association by ourselves, please!" I begged him. The captain looked at me with a serious look.
"I will tell the Association about this incident later. You guys will talk to the one in charge when you meet them." The Captain said and he was about to leave, but he faced me again. "Why do you want to be a Hunter? You didn't answer that..."
"Same with Viiri, I want to protect my friends and help them!" I answered with a smile. And suddenly, he laughed.
"You guys have something that not everyone has, same with that boy!" He continued laughed and left the room. I walked towards Viiri, who was still sleeping on Kurapika's lap.
"Minna (everyone), is she alright?" I get worried about her sometimes; she's always reckless when she sees someone get hurt in front of her.
"She's just exhausted." Kurapika answered calmly, and suddenly faced me. "And what kind of weapon was that both of you used?" Kurapika asked with an interested look and with a hint of curiosity.
"I don't really understand either, but Quela will." I looked at Viiri's backpack. "Quela tell them. We already changed the real story anyway, so it's okay." I called Quela, who was still in Viiri's backpack. (luckily our backpacks was water resistant)
"No spoiler~~nya!"
"A CAT TALKED!" Leorio shouted with a very loud voice.
"Shh! You'll wake her up!" Kurapika said, reminding Leorio about the resting Viiri.
"Ah, I'm sorry I scared you!" Quela exclaimed, going back to her 'neko-musume form'.
"IT CHANGED! IT CHANGED!" Leorio shouted with an even louder voice this time.
"I told you, she might wake up!" Kurapika almost sounded like he was scolding the money-loving man. My, my, what a big-bro figure…
"So anyways, this is Quela, the person (?) who transferred us to this world. We're actually from another world, and in our world, you guys are from an animated series. Which means, I know what will happen in the future, but no spoilers allowed!" I explained with a smile.
Viiri's POV
"OHAYO VIIRI!" Gon greeted with a big smile plastered on his face.
"Good morning…wait…IT'S NOT DREAM AT ALL!" I suddenly shouted which made Gon confused.
"Oi, are you happy that you slept at Gon and Kurapika's feet?" Elin teased me with a mischievous grin.
"Wha…" My face became red (very), this is the first time that I went in contact with older boys, excluding fights.
"Viiri-san, are you okay? You didn't look good last night..." Gon asked, worry written all over his face. I nodded but remained silent since I couldn't feel anything expect my embarrassment.
Elin's POV
Viiri frozen in front of me with an extremely red face that even a tomato would be jealous of it.
"What happened to her?" Leorio asked with a curious look.
"Is this her first time being in direct contact with boys?" Kurapika observed Viiri.
"If you mean contact excluding fighting, then yes…she's always like this if she's in contact with boys who is at least two years older than her…" I explained, sweat dropping when I saw her expression.
"Fighting?" the trio's eyes widened. Suddenly, the sailor that Gon saved approached us.
"U-um…thank you for saving me last night, Gon!" Katsuo thanked Gon, but Gon told him that Kurapika and Leorio also helped save him. My, those 2 are getting embarrassed, Kurapika's face is so cuteee-
Suddenly, I felt a hard punch hit my head.
"Why do you always punch me?!" I know Viiri was the one who did it.
"Because first, you just said something that made me feel embarrassed that you're my friend; second, you can wake someone from the dead with that high frequency voice of yours!"
"YAY VIIRI'S BACK TO US!" I grabbed her cheek and pulled it.
"ITTE YO!" Viiri shouted and jumped away from me, and glared.
"HA HA HA! I LIKE YOU GUYS! I WILL TAKE YOU GUYS TO THE NEAREST PORT TO THE HUNTER EXAM!"
"So, we pass?"
"You didn't hear me? You guys pass!" Gon jumped happily while Viiri just put her hand on his head for an unknown reason. I turned my attention away from them when I saw an island nearby. I grinned in excitement.
'I wonder what exciting adventures we'll have once we arrive?'
