Chapter 7

I pace around the room feeling horribly bored and tired.

"Why do we have to be stuck in here? It's all your fault Leorio!" I whine.

"Hey don't point fingers!" Leorio argued back.

I cross my arms and face the wall, "Kurapika, Leorio is being a mean big head!" I whine to Kurapika.

Killua snickers and Gon puts on a confused face.

Kurapika looked skeptical that Leorio was really bothering me and not the other way around.

I pound on his back, "I want my DS back though!"

He sighed and pulls my DS out of his pocket, "Here it is, you can stop whining."

I jumped up and down like a child on Christmas and took my precious DS back from him.

"It's okay, you're back with me now Purpleteddybear! Not in the hands of Mr. Encyclopedia over there." I mutter.

Kurapika didn't flinch but showed he was a bit offended.

I laugh and continue to care for Purpleteddybear.

An hour later...

"I'm bored!" I yell to particularly no one.

I scooched next to Kurapika who was reading a book.

I hug my knees to myself, "Could you tell me a story?"

He coughed, "What?"

"Tell me a story!" I repeat, louder this time and with a whinier voice.

He sighed; giving up. "Fine, fine. So what do you want the story to be about?"

"A story about you. You know like your life story, and why you want to be a Hunter." I reply.

Just then Kurapika's eyes flared a fiery red for an instant and then it was gone. What was that? Was it... it was the same thing I saw earlier!

He then breathed in and out like he was doing a breathing exercise. Kurapika shut his book closed with a loud thud and I jumped.

Mr. Encyclopedia seemed to prepare himself and I got out my popcorn (A/N: How did she get popcorn?) this was going to be a long story. "I came from a clan that is called the Kurta clan."

"The what?" He continued and ignored me.

"When our emotions were stirred or excited our eyes would turn a beautiful red." he almost smiled, and my breath hitched, a beautiful red- huh. "Most would say it was the most beautiful thing they would ever see. They would also say it could be one of the wonders of the world. Sorry I'm getting off topic. So the main reason for me to be a Hunter, a Blacklist Hunter to be exact, is for revenge."

"Revenge?" I was munching my popcorn furiously by now.

"Yes, revenge. Since our eyes were 'famous' in a way, a group called the Phantom Troupe came to take them and massacred the whole clan, and I was the only survivor left. So that made it my job to get revenge, and I will not rest in peace, until I do so."

"Wow." That was quite a story, "So you need to become a Hunter in order to have access to certain places and information?"

"Yes. Is your curiosity satisfied?"

I think about it for a minute, then I shake my head as in 'no', "Could you tell me about the people you were friends with within the clan? We should move on to happier topics. It's time for you to start telling someone this."

The ends of Kurapika's mouth twitched up and he gave a thoughtful sigh, "Well I did have one friend in the clan."

"And who was he?"

Another thoughtful sigh, "His name was Pairo. He was a close friend of mine. We both wanted to see the outside world, he was just as curious as I was."

I smile.

"Anyways Pairo was a kind person, he cared for everyone and me. He also was a very giving person- that's why I liked him, because of his compassion. Actually Pairo was blind, I could not imagine how he could be so happy all the time even with his condition. I'd imagine it would frustrate him."

Pairo did sound like a good guy but I couldn't help noticing how Kurapika kept using the word 'was', and my eyes widen. "We planned to see the world and have adventures. One day I had to set out for a six week journey and when I came back Pairo and the others..."

I look at him with watery eyes, it was a very sad story, "Did he..."

"Yes, he died along with the rest of the clan. For the our eyes." He said softly.

I pat his hand gently, "But you have friends that are willing to support you now, right?"

"Yes." His eyes finally smiled along with his mouth.

I smile too and shift into a more comfortable position.

Then I fall asleep.

In Tina's dream

I was sitting on a red velvet armchair with cakes and tea in front of me. The walls were just red curtains and the floor was checkered black and red. Music was playing softly from the piano by a mysterious person with white hair. (A/N: I know this sounds an awfully like Soul Eater but that's what I imagined when I wrote- er typed this. Can anyone guess who's at the piano?) Anyways a girl that was exactly 15 months older than me sat across from me, who was chewing thoughtfully on a chocolate moose cake and purposely avoiding the tea which had no milk. I swallow thickly.

"Hey sis." I say weakly.

She puts her cake down. "Did you cause any trouble Tina?"

"No only annoying the rookies." I replied knowing that she wasn't in a bad mood and would chase me around with disgusting hand sanitizer. (A/N: Uh, how do I explain this... Tina does not like the smell, how the hand sanitizer feels, and even the sight of hand sanitizer. She thinks of it as a dirty thing instead of something that keeps your hands clean.)

"Okay," She pushed up her glasses, that didn't need to be worn half the time but she wore them anyway, and did that thing in anime where there's a shine on a smart person's glasses when they are scheming something or other. "You know that you can't interfere because you are just a watcher."

I nod hearing this speech a dozen times before came to the Hunter Exam, "Is that all you say to your sister after you haven't seen her in 2 weeks?"

"Did I miss your loud off key singing and you practically jumping off the walls. Not exactly. But tell me who are these rookies?"

I cross my arms, my singing wasn't off key! It just wasn't in tune. "Uh, one of them is named Gon Freeces. He has spiky hair with green tips and is pretty athletic and limber. Bright honey colored eyes and innocent like nature."

She nodded and bit her lip, she was holding back something.

"Then there is another guy named Killua Zoldyck. He has fluffy white/silver hair and cobalt eyes turned up like a cat's. He is super pale and an ex-assassin; he was professional. Killua has a cocky attitude and wants to have fun."

"I see..." She muttered.

"There's Kurapika Kurta. Kurta isn't really his last name but it's his clan's name, so he doesn't really have a last name. Kurapika is around 16, by the way the other two I mentioned earlier are about my age, only a year older. Kurapika has blond hair and blue eyes. It's said that when a Kurta clan member's emotions get excited their eyes turn a beautiful red. Kurapika is smart and perceptive."

"Anyone else?"

"Last but not least there is old man Leorio. Or Leorio Paladinight. He is tall and physically strong. He has short spiky black hair and wears glasses. He sets his sights on being a doctor. You could tell he's a nice and sensitive guy."

My sister, Alina, nods her head and checking over her notes.

Then she suddenly straightens up, "Did this innocent Gon see Menchi?"

I bow my head. "I was too late... I tried but failed."

She stands up. "YOU LET AN INNOCENT BOY SEE MENCHI WEAR PRACTICALLY CLOSE TO NOTHING CLOTHES?"

"I tried but then I was too late!" I wail.

She sits down but not before flicking me in the forehead, which I am currently nursing. Then the pianist turned to us his sharp teeth glinting. "Tone it down will you?"

We both nod and Alina mumbles something along the lines of getting Menchi to wear real clothes.

"So what do we do now?" I ask.

"We will eat cake!" She lifts her fork up and continues with her cake.

I smile happily and pick out a fruit cake and contently eat it while sipping tea.

After a whole entire fruit cake later...

"Ow." I clutch my stomach, I shouldn't have eaten that whole fruit cake!

Alina stares at me agitatedly and sighs, "I can't believe she ate a whole cake."

"Well I'll be going now." I stumble out the door. "Adios amiga." Then I run out.

Alina continued to sit there on her chair with a chocolate moose cake.

She rubbed her chin, "I feel like I'm missing something. Didn't I need to tell her something about the next phase?"

She shrugged and continued eating her chocolate moose cake.

BREAK

I jolt awake, and see that everyone is doing their own little thing.

I turn to Kurapika, who has returned to reading his book. "How long have I been asleep?"

He checked the clock, "About two hours."

Oh that wasn't long.

"Well how many hours have passed?"

Kurapika replied, "10 hours."

My exasperated sigh must have told him I couldn't take it anymore. He tried to reassure by saying, "Well we have 40 more hours to go."

I stare blankly at him, which said, that doesn't help.

"Is there food?" I ask.

"Go check."

I walked around the room and found a bathroom. At least they care about our hygiene. I scanned the room and saw...

"Food!" I squealed rushing over to a refrigerator.

I opened it and saw some fruit, juice, and sandwich ingredients.

I was about to take an orange when Kurapika stopped me. "We'll be here for two days (and two hours) and there are six of us. Which means we need to have enough food for 36 meals. Don't start taking one now."

My eyes water and I turn my puppy eyes to level 10. "B-but, it's 10 pm! So that means we only need 24 meals! And that's including today's dinner. So nobody will mind me eating an orange!"

Kurapika sighed, looks like I won out this time in the logic match.

"So anyway, who wants food people?" I ask.

There's an awkward silence but is soon followed by 5 grumbling stomachs (as much as Kurapika is embarrassed to admit it.)

"I guess I'll take that as a yes, I'll make the sandwiches!"

I take out a notepad, "May I have your order sir?" I ask Kurapika.

Kurapika chuckled, "Make it a surprise."

I scribble that down, "One Super Mysterious Tina Sandwich to go!"

Kurapika gulped, that didn't sound too good...

"So what do you want?" I ask Gon next.

He thought about it, "How about a normal peanut butter and jelly sandwich?"

"'Kay!" I wrote that down and turned to Killua, "What would you like old man."

Killua growled, "For the last time my hair is silver and don't call me old man! Oh yeah, I want a chocolate sandwich."

"Done and done."

I walked over to a sleeping Leorio and shook him violently. Then I yelled in his ear, "WAKE UP LAZY BUTT!"

Leorio jumped ten feet in the air (somehow managing to not hit his head) and glared at me. "Why did you wake me up brat?"

I smiled like I didn't give Leorio a heart attack, "What do you want to eat Oreo?"

"It's Leorio!"

I waved my hand dismissively, "So what do you want to eat- it can only be a sandwich."

Leorio suddenly brightened, "Well in that case... how about a BLT sandwich." (A/N: I don't know if that was right, but uh is a BLT sandwich- Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato? I'm not sure cause I never had one.)

"Okay! Er, how about you chubbie?"

Tompa glared at me (why is everyone glaring at me today?) "Are you talking to me?"

I nod.

"You should show more respect kid." Tompa stood up trying to intimidate me since I was only 11. "Be more respectful to your senpais."

I quirk an eyebrow, "Senpais?"

Tompa nodded triumphantly.

"First of all, calling me kid is an insult. And two, if you don't apologize to me now, you either get tickled to death or you starve for the next 40 hours."

Tompa's eye twitched; he hated being inferior and I almost felt bad for him because, hey I hate being inferior too!

"I guess a cheese sandwich." He said in defeat.

I jotted that down.

"Alright guys and a possible gal!" Kurapika mumbled profanities (I'm not sure if Kurapika curses but hey he's like what, 16?) when I said 'gal'. "Your food will be ready in 10 minutes!"

I then walked off to the refrigerator.

Inside I coincidentally saw everything I needed.

I rubbed my hands together; time to get, uh cooking. Come to think of it, does making sandwiches count as cooking?

Whatever. Not like it matters. They get their food and i get my food! I thought happily.

First I made Kurapika the Super Mysterious Tina Sandwich. And set that down on the plate. Next I made Gon a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and Killua's chocolate sandwich. I made Killua's chocolate 'sandwich' by getting out two king sized Hershey bars and put chocolate cream between them. In the background Kurapika sweatdropped, I don't think that's a sandwich, just chocolate filling between two Hershey bars...

Then I made old man Leorio's by cooking the bacon with a stove (jeez they got everything here!) and put the lettuce and tomato on the bread.

While the bacon was cooking I made Tompa's cheese sandwich? Don't you just put one or two slices of cheese on bread? Easy enough.

After I finished with Leorio's BLT I gave everyone their food.

"There you go guys!" I handed them their food.

Killua stared at his and his eyes glowed, "This is better than I expected! You did well this time Tina."

I smile while everyone thought, but that's not a sandwich...

Kurapika stared at his as if it was an unknown specimen that came form outer space, when I told him this he replied.

"Well it seems like a type of unknown specimen that came from outer space."

I stare at him- well that was blunt.

Kurapika's POV

I saw that Tina was slightly hurt so I tried to reassure her, "I'll try it though, if you want me to."

The little girl jumped up and down and told me she wanted me to try it.

Beads of sweat formed on my forehead- this was going to be no easy task.

I pick it up from the plate and take a bite out of it.

I decided to leave that as a cliffhanger because Tina wanted me to.

Anyhow, I want you guys to give me a present and review! PLEASE WITH TINA'S UNKNOWN SANDWICH ON TOP! *Puppy eyes*

Can you tell me what you thought of Tina's sister? She will be appearing once again at the end of this story so I'd like to know.

I decided my schedule for updating will be once every week but I don't know what day of the week but it'll defiantly be every week.

Merry Christmas Eve guys!

Toodles!
