Enjoy!

Chapter 3

Tina's POV

I was standing there thinking about why are there only men here! But I think there are a couple of girls here.

In my opinion the men here are either greedy (as in money) or very unforgiving (you know what I mean they want revenge.)

So anyway the giant door thingy opened and I saw a young woman and massive man next to her.

First of all the young woman was probably 19 and was wearing a pink bra with a black fishnet top. Nooo! Gon was too young and innocent to see this creepy lady! Anyways I must continue with describing her. The examiner was also wearing short shorts, wait no not again this will spoil Gon's pure conscience. Eh-am so where we left off from… this lady had her hot pink hair tied up into several somethings in different directions. Now back to mission save Gon, I tackled him to the ground and started telling him not to look at any of the examiners.

But then out of curiosity he looked the lady and his eyes grew wide.

Well mission fail.

The others stared and turned back to the lady.

She started explaining that this round was about cooking and her name was Menchi while the big guy was Buhara.

The participants gasped and whispered on how unprepared they were for this phase.

Since we were all speaking about food I decided to bring up what foods were my favorites.

"Uh… so what are your favorite foods?" I asked.

"Chocolate."

Wow the great assassin Killua likes chocolate? Who knew assassins liked sweet stuff.

"I really don't know. But whatever my Aunt Mito cooks tastes great!"

Figures, this is Gon after all.

"Food that can fill me."

Is Leorio a fatty or something? Never mind it's actually pretty normal. (But no one is normal if you know what I mean.)

"I suppose my favorite food would be anything that has the ability to fit my taste."

Such a straight to the point answer, well Kurapika is very wise and all but doesn't everyone have a favorite food? I mean the only person that really answered me was Killua.

So I guess it's my turn, "My favorite foods are strawberries with sugar, peanut butter sandwiches with sugar, ice cream as long as it isn't chocolate and sweets! (A/N: BTW these are my favorite foods too.)"

"You know those aren't very healthy Tina." Leorio, Kurapika, and Gon said in unison.

Menchi then explained to us that we have to fill their stomachs by completing their order. It sounded easy enough until Buhara proclaimed he'd like a boar. After this …

Killua balled his fists up and shouted, "Who doesn't like chocolate ice cream you're insane!"

I shushed him because the ground started to shake and he sensed it too because he leapt back. The men scattered in several directions.

After a long hour Gon did the most dumbest thing in the world, "Hit them on the head it's their weak spot!"

I thought about wanting to get the pigs (I know I said boars but I will do pigs and there's nothing you can do to stop me) in another way. But I seriously didn't feel like poaching poor piggies.

Later on…

"71 contestants have passed." Buhara said.

Menchi glared at him, "You can't pass all of them! Doesn't the taste matter?"

"At least we eliminated some of them Menchi."

"Alright, 71 passed. Now my order is sushi."

Shock went through the crowd. Leorio noticed something and said "There are 72 of us. Come to think of it Tina did you even give one to the examiners?"

"What are you talking about you must have counted wrong there are only 71 of us. Maybe you need new glasses." I replied smartly.

Leorio gave me a troubled look and went back to listening to Menchi. Kurapika on the other hand did not relax but listened too.

"Looks like you are all troubled. Since you may all be new to this I'll give you some hints. It's from a small island and requires vinegar and rice. Sushi is also hand molded. I prefer nigri zushi. (A/N: Yes it's called nigri zushi. Believe it or not my mom gave my sister a sushi kit and it talked about this particular sushi. This is because my sister likes sushi although I'm allergic to seafood. Of course what I know Tina will know too.) "

That sushi, you use fish for it don't you?

I ran far away from the confused crowd so no one will know that I know exactly what to do. Clumsily and stumbling I ran to a still river. The water was so clear and still you could paint a replica of the sky above it.

I really did not like poaching animals alive I usually let the butchers handle that. But I grabbed small pieces of cracker and scattered it into the area near me. Strange fish like creatures swam by and started eating the bait. I shooed the weird ones away and examined the I guess you could call the 'real' fish.

I decided to use a medium sized fish. It glistened in the sun and showed off its brightly colored scales. 'Now how do you skin a fish?' Since I didn't know I decided to wing it like I always do.

As I skipped back I heard a thunderstorm- no something scarier that I can't avoid if I don't move my lazy butt soon. I darted to the right which was a good decision because everyone came running and trampling the forest.

I walked over to the kitchen center and Menchi stared at me interested to see how I made the sushi.

I took some rice and molded it into a cylinder then I skinned my fish. I didn't worry about the bones because as normal looking as this fish was it had no bones. I cut it at an angle and set it to the side. Then I got the wasabi tube and squeezed it onto the rice, next I grabbed my piece of fish and laid it on top of my rice and gently pushed on it.

"Very good Tina but that doesn't count for you know what reason." Menchi said complimenting me.

"I know Menchi. Do you think that creepy ninja dude knows something? Oh can you taste it anyways?" I said gleefully.

"Sure."

She popped the sushi in her mouth and chewed for a while.

"For an amateur it's pretty good, maybe a 7/10."

I clapped my hands together satisfied just as the other contestants charged in.

I watched carefully as everyone made attempts of making sushi. Most put their sushi in a ball of rice. I face palmed as Leorio did this.

He served it to Menchi proudly and she threw it without a second glance.

"W- What was the matter with it?" Leorio asked a bit gloomy.

Menchi answered that it was horrible and all wrong.

Next was Gon and he did the exact same thing as Leorio and yet again I face palmed.

Gon gave it to her rather happy and she threw it over her shoulder and muttered 'trash'. Gon sulked. But what was worse was when she added- "Not even better then the other guy." When Gon heard that he looked like he was about to commit suicide... well I mean I can't blame him, he's being compared to Leorio for goodness sake!

Kurapika came up to Gon and patted his shoulder, "There there."

"Hey!" Leorio yelled but Kurapika was already calculating what was wrong with Gon's sushi.

Kurapika saw some, what you would call mistakes, and was probably thinking it should just be smaller. Turns out I was right; it passed as a replica to Gon's but smaller. I huffed at how dumb these people were.

Kurapika turned around in my direction and said, "I haven't seen you make anything yet so you can't prove I'm wrong."

He then served it to Menchi.

She threw that one away too, "Failure."

I snickered, the encyclopedia dude was no better then old man Leorio!

He glared at me after his sulking fest with Gon.

"Well excuse me for knowing that it is wrong because I made my nigri zushi already and Menchi said it was correct." I retorted.

He stared at me blankly with no reply then was about to ask how to make it but 70 other competitors rushed up to me and started asking. Apparently they had overheard me. Menchi shook her head behind me knowing that was not a good thing to say.

Since I was partly claustrophobic I pretended to have a spasm from the people. They stepped back so I could tell them. But instead I stuck my tongue out and ran the hell out of there.

By the time I came back it seemed Menchi failed all of them. This was because number 205 was battling Menchi at the moment. She said that no matter what type of hunter you were every hunter had to know how to defend themselves; that simple.

That's Menchi for ya'.

So... How was that?

Sorry I couldn't update! (If I did update on time then yay! But I'm really not sure the last time I updated so yeah... heh heh)

Speaking of updating...

I'm not going to be jupdating for the story One Day for a while I'm having writers block! But I will hopefully update this Saturday, WOOHOO!

I'm also sorry (what's up with all my sorries today sheesh) about the awkward cheesy chapter I didn't really edit it that much.

I know all you Kurapika fans out there are going to kill me for making my character insult Kurapika and call him encyclopedia, but it's so fun to tease him!

Next time will be much more better, 1 more cheesy chapter to go! : )
