Phew! I actually updated it! Sorry for the long wait guys, I actually try to think of the right story line. Please don't be confuse when you read this chapter. Any questions regarding Chihana shall be revealed soon.
Moonless night shrouded a small town called Mesophillia. Everything was ded quiet as residents shut themselves in their homes, either too frightened to come out or because its night time.
It was no exception for a certain slim figure walked casually along the dark street. The only thing echoed there was the sound of her bloody footprints. Those who have seen her, backed away with fear after seeing her clothes drenched with fresh blood.
The 15 year-old girl to be precise, soon to be 16 years old, Chihana Nobuyuki, polished her blood-stained katana as well as her arms and hands.
" Great..just great! Now I smell like blood for weeks!," she groaned as some blood stain stubbornly stick itself at her hands.
It was nearly six months since the Hunter Exam ended. She remembered her fun yet deadly adventures with her friends Gon, Killua, Leorio and Kurapika. Of all four of them, she really fond to Kurapika.
She didn't know why, but Kurapika was like a magnet somehow. She took out her Hunter Licence and sigh. She really missed her friends, the day when she left without saying goodbyes.
FLASHBACK AT THE TRICK TOWER
" So, all we need to do is to beat those goons and win four rounds to pass,?," she reviewed excitedly. " This gonna be easy."
" Easy? How can it be easy when you, a girl has to fight?," Leorio snorted.
She let out a small pout. She hated it when someone underestimate her, just because she's a girl. But, that's also what she intended her opponents to think. It's a perfect advantage.
" So, which one of us wants to go first?," Killua asked, placing both of his hands into his pocket.
Tonpa stepped forward confidently. " I'll go first," he declared, and stepped into the arena. He has to fight the bald criminal named Bendot. Tonpa gathered his strength, making him look stronger.
" Is that really Tonpa?," she asked as Tonpa look a lot stronger all the sudden.
" Probably," Gon replied.
Five of them have high hopes for Tonpa. It looked like he's taking the fight seriously UNTIL…..
" I SURRENDERRRRRRR," Tonpa exclaimed, bowing down before Bendot even lay a finger on him.
Did they heard him correctly? " Heh?!," they shrieked cluelessly. What just happen?
Chihana clenced her fist and tried her best to stop herself from 'killing' Tonpa. If he wasn't in the team, he probably ended up dead by her hands.
Things went smoothly for them as Gon nailed his fight and actually used his head to win for the first time. Next, it was Kurapika's turn to fight. He have to face the ugly-looking monster uhhh man…..beast….whatever! We him Majitani for now.
" You see this heart on my chest? It's the number of people I killed so far," Majitani bragged. " 19 is not a pretty number but when I kill you, it's gonna be perfect."
Despite the treats, Kurapika showed no expression. He looked at him calmly without saying a word.
Chihana rolled her eyes. ' Tch! Only 19? I won't brag about that,' Chihana thought as the match started. Majitani may looked ugly but his ugly strength caught Kurapika by surprise as well.
Then, she sense something's wrong on Kurapika. He was engulfed by darkness all the sudden as soon as Majitani turned his back on him.
" Th-That tattoo…," Leorio croaked, sweating heavily.
Everyone turned their attention on the Spider Tattoo on Majitani's back. " Tattoo? ," Gon asked curiously.
" Yeah…every hunter should have known it. It belongs to the Phantom Troupe, the worst group of criminals in history," Leorio explained.
' Phantom Troupe huh? I haven't seen them for a while,' she thought. ' But then again, did they really destroy Kurapika-kun's clan?'
Most importantly, this was her first time seeing Kurapika gone berserk. He landed a huge blow on Majitani, knocking him unconscious.
Chihana placed her hand on her mouth. " Kurapika-kun…..," Chihana breathed.
" Whoa!," Leorio gulped as Killua whistled, impressed by Kurapika's strength.
" Ah!," Gon and Tonpa stunned.
Kurapika clenched his fist with anger and turned his back on Majitani. " Let me tell you something…First, the real members of the troupe should have a number in a middle of the spider," he said in a low voice. " Second, they wouldn't bother to count the numbers of people they killed…..Third, don't ever mention the name again….otherwise, I kill you without hesitation….."
After saying that, Kurapika withdrew himself from the fight and walked back to them. Everyone especially Chihana was stunned by the way Kurapika reacted.
" Kurapika? Are you really alright?," Leorio backed away a little as Kurapika approached them.
" Uhhh….," Kurapika replied, covering one of his eyes with his hand. He looked at Chihana, who was still frozen at her spot.
" Chihana-san, sorry if I scare you," he said with a smile. " It's just that whenever I say a spider, I always acted like this."
" No…uhh…," Chihana giggled nervously. ' Note to self : never let Kurapika see a spider,' she thought, sweat-dropping.
Next, it was Leorio's turn to fight. She was surely impressed by his skills. Because of it, Kurapika earned a victory point for them. But….at the same time, she can't bear to see his perverted side. He was ' experimenting' the female prisoner.
" This is utterly disgusting. I can't watch anymore of it," Chihana turned away, unable to bear to watch the female prisoner being 'sexual harass' by Leorio.
Kurapika closed his eyes and sighed. " Me too…"
As for Gon and Killua, they watch it as if it was nothing. Well, they are kids after all.
The fight ends with Leorio lost in a rock-paper-scissors game.
" Sorry guys. I should have try harder," he apologised.
" Tch! Now you put us at disadvantage!," Tonpa mocked him.
Tonpa really REALLY pissed him off. If Leorio had his own way, he would kill him. " Says a guy who surrender without even trying!," Leorio barked, clenching his fist in front of Tonpa's face.
Chihana sighed and stepped between them. " Relax will ya? Don't worry because I'm going to earn point for us," she reassured them.
Leorio looked at her with concern, as if he didn't have much faith in her. " Uhhh..Chihana, will you be ok? Things might get ugly and you…."
" Leorio-san, don't worry! I got this," Chihana cut in quickly and stepped into the arena before Leorio started another argument.
The prisoner she have to face was a man, in his thirties with a lot of piercings on his face. He have a purple spiky haired just like Gon.
" Little girl, surrender while you still can," he warned her.
Chihana stretched her arm and did a little warm up. " Why? I don't even know the rules yet," she teased him, tying her long hair into a ponytail.
" Very well…..since you a girl, I'll make it soft for ya. The one who surrender and unable to fight anymore loses," he explained with a sigh. " By the way, the name is Zorro."
A nerve of anger popped on her forehead. Again? Someone underestimate her?! " Seriously! Just because I'm a gi-…..," she exploded, but Zorro charging towards her out of nowhere and caught her by surprise.
Zorro landed a hard punch on her guts which she managed to dodge it just in time. She raised her left leg and successfully kicked him on the chest in the process.
Zorro staggered back with pain and coughed hard. Without giving him time to recover, she took out her fans and threw them to Zorro like a shuriken.
Zorro managed to dodge a few of it but the last one, scratched his cheek.
" Amazing…," Leorio commented with all wide expression. " Women these days are really dangerous."
" Sugoi Chihana!," Gon cheered excitedly.
" For a girl that is," Killua snorted. But he doesn't want to admit he was impressed too. Killua is Killua afterall.
Zorro wiped the blood stain on his cheek. " You gonna pay for this girl!," he exploded and took out a long wire-like rope from his outfit. He charged like a lightning towards her. Chihana braced herself for the attack but Zorro did the unexpected.
Instead of attacking her directly, he circled around her three times and stood in front of her. Before Chihana knew what was happening, she realised Zorro actually tied her with his wire.
" Got you little girl," he smirked as Chihana struggled effortlessly to break free from the wire.
Everyone was surprise by that. Now, he had Chihana in the corner. " So, the reason he circled her was...," Killua paused, feeling uneasy.
" To distract her from noticing his wire around her," Kurapika added.
Zorro pulled the wire causing the knot around Chihana's body even tighter.
" Uhhh…..," Chihana groaned as pain sweeping through her body.
" It's useless…..if you struggle even more, the wires will cut your body clean," Zorro warned her, enjoying the fact his opponents finally under his control/
" Chihana! Hang on!," Gon called, unable to shake the heavy feeling on his chest.
" There's goes our point," Tonpa snorted.
Leorio glared at him and pulled him by his shirt. " SHUT UP! Don't you care she's in trouble?!," he exploded.
Kurapika bit his lips and stepped forward. " Chihana! Forget it! There's always next year! It's alright if we lose!," Kurapika shouted with his shaky voice.
Everyone turned their attention to him. It's unusual for Kurapika to said things like that. " Kurapika?," Leorio looked at him, astonished.
" Can't you see, she tried her best to win! But she gonna DIE trying to do it!," Kurapika snapped impatiently.
Zorro chuckled and smirk evilly. " Next year you say? I believe there's NOT gonna be a next year!"
" What do you mean?!," Kurapika demanded.
" HAHAHAHAHAHA!," Zorro laughed evilly. " I'm gonna END her suffering of course! She won't have to work hard for next year!"
" YOU BASTARD! Wait till I get my hands on you!," Leorio exploded and stepped forward but Kurapika and Gon stopped him from doing so.
Kurapika grabbed both of Leorio's arm. " Leorio! That's enough. If you interfere, Zorro will win by default!," Kurapika told him.
" Yeah! Leorio, calm down," Gon agreed, squeezing Leorio's stomach tightly, as he struggled.
" SUFFERRING…," Chihana uttered in a low voice, causing everyone to turned back their attention to her.
" SUFFERING!," she repeated with rage in her eyes. " WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT SUFFERING?!"
Using all ounce of her strength, Chihana struggled to break the wire free, causing bleeding around her arm, waist and leg because of the wire.
" Chihana! That's enough!," Kurapika called her.
" NO! MY SUFFERING CAN'T BE HEAL UNTIL I HAVE MY REVENGE!," Chihana screamed as the wire around her body ripped one by one.
Zorro staggered back with fear. No one has ever escaped his wire before. " Th-That's impossible!," he shrieked.
Kurapika, Gon, Leorio, Killua and Tonpa were stunned by her sudden burst of strength. There were cuts and blood all over her body but she paid no attention to it. She has the same aura as Kurapika when he saw the spider tattoo on Majitani.
" Chihana….," Kurapika said in a low voice, watching Chihana approached Zorro slowly.
" I…I surrender! Please spare me!," Zorro begged, bowing to Chihana.
Chihana chuckled. Before Zorro knew what was happening, she gave him a huge painful uppercut, disrupting all the nerves in his body. She watched Zorro lay down helplessly in front of her.
" Looks like I win this fight. You can't fight anymore aren't cha?," Chihana said in a dark tune and walked back to her friends.
When she returned to her friends, four of them surrounded her.
" That's was awesome!," Killua exclaimed.
" Are you alright?,' Gon asked with concern.
" Let me treat your wound," Leorio said seriously.
Chihana looked at them without saying anything. " Excuse me, I need to be alone…." She squeezed herself between them and rested in the dark corner.
Kurapika stared at her. ' Suffering…..' he thought.
Flashback Ends
That happened almost six months ago. She remembered she left them suddenly as soon as she got her Hunter License
And Killua, was the only one who failed the exam. She heard Gon, Leorio and Kurapika tried to rescue Killua to his Zoldyck Home. She wondered if they ever success in doing so.
' It's not my problem anyway,' she thought and smiled to herself.
" Yosh! I better start moving!," she said with enthusiasm. " York New City! Here I come!"
