I DON'T OWN HXH!
Previously...
I unfolded my arms and reached into the right, front pocket of my shorts and pulled out an strawberry lolipop. I took off the wrapper and called back to Kara, "Nope!" I then stuffed the lolipop into Hito's mouth, making the words that she was about to say muffled.
-
"Nothing at all Kara." Hito said. Kara asked me, "Tsuki. Did you give her another one of your loli-pops?" "Nope." I said popping the 'p'. "Don't lie to me!" Kara called out, louder. "I'm not! Check her mouth right now! Do you see any loli-pop?" I lied smoothly, taking out the loli-pop and sticking it into my mouth. "I'm the one that is eating a loli-pop! Don't jump to conclusions!" I twirled the piece of candy.
-
"You took away the loli-pop~!" Hito whined. "Tsuki! I'm going to kill you!" the girl named Karasu, nicknamed Kara shouted at Tsukiko. "Shit!" she cried, monotone. She sped up, going into the crowd of men.
-
"Of course you didn't see them before. Tsuki makes alot of things for herself, Kara, and I. She hates running, so she made those shoes. They can be roller skates, a skateboard, a skateboard that can hover and fly, and she even put blades in there so that she could stab something if she needed to. There are more, but I don't know them."
-
"What was in that loli-pop?" Killua asked. "Saa... Who knows?" Hitomi replied, smirking devilishly.
Start telling the story, minion!
Hitomi's P.O.V.
Halfway up the long set of stairs, I spotted Tsuki, I sweat-dropped, she was hovering up the stairs with her hovering skateboard. 'She seriously hates running, doesn't she?' "Tsuki!" I called out. "Wait for me!" Tsuki looked back at me, and magically, her board folded up and got back into her shoes. She dropped down onto a stair and once I was right beside her, she began running.
In the distance, which was not far off, I heard Killua and Gon tell Leorio, Karasu, and Kurapika something, they soon caught up with us. Gon grinned when he saw Tsuki, but he stayed on my right, while Killua was on Tsuki's left.
"Hi! I'm Gon!" Gon shouted, pretty much jumping in his shoes. "Killua," the sliver said.
"Tsukiko, just call me Tsuki," the red-head said, nodding her head in acknowledgement. She then closed her eyes, humming a tune that I didn't reconize. Killua started looking at her weirdly, I just shrugged it off and started a small conversation. "Gon, why do you want to be a hunter?"
Gon looked at me and declared proudly, "My father is a hunter and I want to look for him! He left me when I was a baby just to be one. So I only know him from pictures and stories that Mito-san told me, but I just know that he's one of the best hunters!" Killua stopped looking at Tsuki weirdly and opened his mouth to ask, "Do you know what type of hunter he is?" Gon shook his head,"Nope!" Killua busted out laughing. He even had to hold Tsuki's shoulder to stay up. "That's so weird!" Killua told Gon, still laughing.
"Kil, you need to learn how to stand? I thought you learned a long time ago," Tsuki said teasingly and smirking. Killua stood up immediately and let his hand slide off of Tsuki's shoulder. "Who are you? Only my family calls me Kil, so who are you? I've never met you in my life!" Killua hissed, spitting at the word family.
Tsuki opened her eyes and looked at Killua. Her eyes had a certain nostalgia to it. Gon and I just watched the exchange quietly, more like I was forcing Gon's mouth to stay closed.
Tsuki shook her head lightly, her side ponytail was swaying along with her head. "I never expected you to remember. It has been years after all, it even took me some time to realize that it was you," she said wistfully. I let go of Gon's mouth and asked Tsuki, "What are you talking about? Do you know each other?" Tsuki flicked her gaze towards me and answered, "Maybe, maybe not. Only the heavens know for sure."
Tsuki glanced forward and waved a hand, "I'm gonna go ahead. See ya later." She jumped up and flipped, somehow activating her hidden blades that were in her shoe. Her shoes touched the roof of the damp tunnel, which the blades sank into. She then started to run on the ceiling. 'Oh joy. Dirt is going to get in my hair.' But I thought about the mystery while Gon asked Killua about his reasons to become a hunter.
Tsukiko's .
I ran past the examiner, Satotz, and arrived at the exit 30 minutes before anybody else.
'Numelle Swamp, nicknamed, the Crooks Nest. Known for the fog and the animals.' I remembered. I sighed, activated my nen, and plopped onto the ground. "Might as well get some shut-eye," I muttered and slowly drifted into a deep sleep.
~Dream~
A four year old girl with deep red hair ran up to the big, seven door, gate. The testing gate. Her older brother followed her slowly, her parents followed behind even slower. Her older brother had scarlet hair and forest green eyes, not like the dark crimson hair and light teal eyes the girl had. Her father had black-red hair and blue eyes. Her mother had light red hair and dark green eyes. When the three others reached the gate, the girl placed her hands on the first door and pushed. It opened to the third door.
"Good job, Akane!" her father praised, ruffling her hair. "Even Ryuusuke couldn't open that third door until he was five!" her mother commented. "Hey, don't tell Akane that!" Ryuusuke whined. Akane just grinned.
Akane looked up at the silver haired man, a silver haired boy, and a seaweed haired guy waited.
"Welcome. Akane sure did a good job on opening those doors didn't she, Rintarou?" the silver haired man addressed Akane's father. "Of course Silva! Akane is surely going to be the heir!" Akane's father replied. Ryuusuke raised a hand and looked at the seaweed dude. (No offense to Illumi lovers! This is from "Akane's" mind!) "Yo, Illumi." Illumi nodded and they headed off. Akane ran over to the silver haired boy. "Kil!" she shouted, hugging him. Kil, or known as Killua, just chuckled, grabbed her wrist and ran away, dragging her along.
"Akane!" her mother called after her. "Akiri, just let them go," Rintarou said, placing a hand on his wife's shoulder. Silva just laughed slightly and stated, "Kikyo is waiting. Now let's go."

Akane ran. She ran as fast as she could. "Akane! Come back here! Don't leave!" she heard Ryuusuke, her aniki, call out into the darkness of the night. Her family should know that calling out was useless. She wasn't going to return anytime soon, she wanted her freedom. She didn't want her life to be planned for her, she wanted to plan it herself. Enjoy the thrills, bear the sadness, get friends, she wanted to experience real life.
'I dont want to be the heir. I refuse to be the heir of the Nisshoku family!' she thought stubbornly as her red hair whipped side to side. "I refuse to have my life planned for me!" she yelled, her voice clear, just like the red moon in the sky.
~Dream End~
I woke up by the sounds of people arriving. Yawning, I stood. 'Mom, dad, aniki. Sorry, but I wanted my freedom. I don't want to be forced.' I smiled a bit, but quickly hid it when Satotz appeared out of the tunnel's exit. I made my aura feel like a regular human, and waited for the others to arrive.
Hey, that's it for this chap, hope you liked it.
Who is Akane anyway? Folks, that's for you to figure out, it's easy too though.
