Grace's POV

We soon arrived at the Zaban City where the Hunter Exam will take place. I really can't wait. I wasn't planning on becoming a Hunter, but this will be exciting. Mom, I hope you know I need your support. Even though I may pass, I really hope you're there for me… even though you think I'm dead. And thanks to your gift to me… it will help me throughout this journey.

The truth is, I wish that I would fly here myself, and yes, I do have vampire wings. But if I get here before the others that would mean that Kurapika and Gon will get suspicious… And Leorio is just… dull.

"As a Navigator," I heard the son say, "our jobs is to identify worthy Hunter applicants and guide them to the site."

While the son was explaining how difficult the exam is, I see Gon looking at… everything. Right now, he's at the stand where the panda frog… thing is on a stick. I don't know if I should try one or be discussed by it… it looks tasty, but I may slow them down. And even though I may not me into jewelry all that much, I'm really interested in that purple brooch the lady on the other stand is holding. I bet it's a fake, but it may be real. I should get one for my mom, but I don't have any money.

"Ah." Huh? It was her. "So you like this brooch? Than you can have it." She then… handed… to me…

"Wait," I rejected, "I don't have the money for it!" It doesn't make sense, why would she give it to me if she doesn't know I have any money-

"Keep it for free!" What? "You seem like a nice kid, so I believe a nice girl will like this instead, and besides…" She then came to my ear and said, "This is actually the real deal; I usually sell fakes around here, but the real one is all your."

"… I bet this is cursed," I thought, but I have to stay polite… oh well, I can ask Kurapika. "Thanks!" Then I ran off.

"Kid… good luck."

… Weird. But maybe she knows about the exam… if so, why isn't she going to it? I shouldn't worry about it, all I should be worried about, if this thing is cursed or fake.

"Sennosuke, Gon, hurry up or we'll leave you behind!" Leorio shouted out to us. Wow… I never get that distracted… well I get distracted a lot, but only when I'm daydreaming. We caught up with the group and headed to the site.

"Hey, Kurapika," I said. He looked at me with his brown eyes. He looks really handsome, but I didn't allow my blush to show, so I continued, "can you tell me something about this brooch."

While we walked, I handed it to him and I let him examine it for a little. "This is a lucky charm, it said if you give this your destine lover, the two bond will never be broken by anything, not even nature itself."

"Hmm." I hummed in amazement. I saw him give it back to me and he just looked away… I wonder what's wrong with him. I just asked him what the brooch is and he's ignoring me… maybe it's something I said.

"Kurapika," Gon said. We looked at him, "are you sick?"

Now that he mention it, he is a bit red. More than his own eyes… maybe… no, I believe he thinks I'm male. "No… just fine." Doesn't sound fine, but if he is sick, he would've been wobbly.

For another few minutes, the son said, "I believe that is the building." I was looking at the beef restaurant he pointed at. I never been so excited in my life! This is awesome! "Hey guys!" he shouted. When I looked over to the three, they were in front of a tall building instead. I facepalmed. Why are these idiots with me? The Navigator pointed at the 'real' Hunter site. They… *sigh* why aren't they a bit more precise on what's real and what's fake.

"It isn't funny," Leorio said, "Is that an ordinary restaurant?"

"Of course this is where the exam will be at," I answered, "an idiot will think that it's in one of the most obvious places to take the exam." … Oops. They're… in the futile position… Maybe I shouldn't have said anything. "Well… let's head inside!" Yup, I embarrassed them for life. Man, now I'm the bad guy here. "Let's get going!" We enter in and the son gave the password to the cook.

"Wait here," he said.

"Wait?" Leorio asked, confused. "Where's the others?"

"I can't wait for the steak combo!" Gon is so innocent, it should be illegal. *Fangirl squeal in my head.*

Kurapika then explained how it's a password to get us inside. He was disappointed to say the least.

"One in every ten thousand," He said.

"Huh?" The four of us turned to him.

He then told us the number of applicants are rookies. "You've done extremely well for first-timers. Well, good luck."

"Thanks!" Gon then held out his hand to shake his. He was shocked. Gon really knows how to show respect.

Once he's done shaking his hand, I stuck out mine. "Yeah, thank you very much!" he shook mine.

"Good luck!" He shouted. "Hope I'm your Navigator again!"

As the door closed, the room started to vibrate. "It appears this room is an elevator." Kurapika said.

"Bastard," Leorio mumbled. "That meant that he expect us to fail this year."

Well it's true about how the newbies have a low chance of passing the exam. I'll probable succeed… but what happens since I'm here, that these three won't pass at all… The freaky voice told me to help Kurapika, Gon, Leorio, and Killua… Kurapika… Why am I more concern about him than the rest… oh well. All I have to do is protect the guys, nothing more, and nothing less.

"Of course my friend!" Leorio shouted… oh no… not this again. "Hunters make the most money in this world!" Him and his greedy eyes.

Oh great… now they're arguing about what's the best Hunter to be.

"No!" Kurapika argued to the old teen. "Hunters are the most noble in this world!"

"Glory hog…" Leorio growled.

"Money grubber." The blonde growled back.

That's my cue to hide my presence and hide up onto the ceiling. I climbed up to the ceiling, hoping they will stop fighting like an old married couple. At least I planned this before-hand so that I wouldn't have to deal with this junk. I felt myself sighed.

"Gon, Sennosuke! What Hunter do you want to be-"

That's when the pause began. I see that they're trying to find me… Hehe.

"Wait…" Kurapika then paused again, his voiced panicked. "Did we leave him behind?"

"WHAT?!" WHAT?! Uh… oh…

"Bring us back up! Bring us back up!" They shouted. I don't know if I should be laughing or if I should be worried about the three ding-dongs banging on the elevator door. Great. Now I have to tell them that I'm up here… but where's the fun in that? Should I tell them?

"Oh god…" One of them said. "How angry will that guy be? We'll be sent to hell before the exam start!" Leorio… of course… I really don't want to tell them now… but this is funny… ok, I will.

"Guys." Then they looked up, right, left, but nothing… this is comedy gold here. "Up here." They looked up and I can see their eyes widen a bit.

"H-how…" Gon said in shock.

"Oh…" this time, it's my turn to pause, "I tip-toed nearby the wall, hid my presence, and climbed up here."

*Ding*

Saved by the bell. Yay!

Once the door opened, the air became really tensed. You can feel everyone's determination. "Um." I heard Gon said. They all looked at him for a moment, then turned away. "Why are they so tensed?"

One of the smartest questions ever in history! Well… he's Gon, so I shouldn't say anything. We got our tags. Leorio is #403, Kurapika's #404, I'm #405, and Gon's #406. I thought that I'm with 406, but I'm ok with 405.

Now… for that-

"Hey there!" Speak of the devil. I spy with my little eyes a fat man with brown hair and Tompa, the Rookie Crusher. "You've must be new here! I'm Tompa."

"You know that we're new here?" Gon asked. I don't blame him, everyone tries to attempt this exam at least four or five times.

"More or less." He then jumped off where he was sitting and faced us. After all, this will be my 35th attempt." He greeted in a 'friendly' way. Let's see how friendly he is after I show off my smarts. Of course these dolts are shocked, but I just shrugged it off. "Well, you could say I'm an exam veteran."

"That isn't something to brag about," I heard one of them muttered so no one could hear.

"Indeed." And I hope that the crusher will get crushed.

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." He said. This guy is ticking me off. And I'm just staring at him. Gon thanked him like the gentleman he is… to cute and innocent. I wonder if his blood's good… WHAT!? NO, NO, NO! I'm not going to suck a friend's blood, even if it cost me my life!

"I'm Gon!" He then looked at us to introduce him to us. I rather not. "These are Kurapika, Sennosuke, and Leorio." The two nodded, but I just shrugged.

He's began explaining us about the applicants around here like the snake charmer, kungfu master, and the others. He's still telling us more details about the exam, but then a scream pierced the air.

Is see flower petals everywhere to see… him and the poor man's arm dissolving into petals. I'm used to gore and junk, but I can't help but feel guilty for the man. "Oh, how peculiar," said a perverted voice. I saw a man wearing a shirt adorned with various suite symbols on the front and back torso. His face was with his face painted as if a jester. After all, the wiki said that he's dress up as a magician/jester. His hair was this fuchsia or red, and his eyes a yellow… he is really… creepy… in not a killer way.

"His arms seem to have become flower petals." Hisoka. "No smokes and mirrors here." Everyone's eyes was on the jester who did that to the man. I see Gon's eyes widen at his ability. I believe that's the first time that Gon was every afraid of anything in his life. "Do take care. When you bump into someone, you should really apologize."

"That psychopath is here again." I heard Tompa stuttered.

"Again?"

Now the three's eyes were on him, but mine stayed on the magician. "Does that mean he took last year's exam?" Kurapika asked.

"Number 44. Hisoka, the Magician." The fatty began. "Last year, he was virtually lock to pass the test, until he killed an examiner he didn't like-"

I didn't listen to his blabbering anymore and just walked up to Hisoka while he still has his smirk on his face. My friends tried to warn me about the creep in front of us, but I ignored them. I know it's rude of me, but that's how I role. I'm not going to allow fear to overcome me. Fear is just excitement to me like how long it takes you to just go on a roller coaster. I really want to know how strong I am.

"Hello there." I said to the perverted clown. He then turned to me, with a curious look on his face. "That was Nen, right Hisoka?"

His eyes widen, but I felt myself shrug it off while his smirked stayed. I can feel all eyes were on me this time like I was going to die by his hands, but I'm not going to let me stop me from meeting him, so I held my hand in front of me to shake his hand. "Nice to meet you." He said in a creepy way. I'm not afraid of him killing me, I'm more afraid what he's going to do to me. "What's your name?"

I decided to give myself a smirk. "Call me Sennosuke." Everyone has fear in their eyes like scared little rabbits, ready to get eaten by a fox.

He gladly took it. And you can say that I gripped on it a bit… but not for others. "Oh… If you keep doing that, you're going to break my hand," he said cheerfully.

"Oh, I thought you're stronger than this, and besides." I paused for a moment, so everyone knows not to mess with me. I see that my friends aren't around here, so I smiled, happy that there not here to see this tense air… well… not really. It seems that the ones making the air tense is the other examinees. I said in a cheerful voice, "I'm not even trying to break it, this may actually be the tightest that I grabbed someone, and this isn't even 1/12 of my strength."

He then gripped mine with his nails sharper that a knife itself. I can feel him trying to make my hands bleed, but I won't give him that satisfaction, so I grinned instead. I would've been killed if it was for the training and the vampire strength I have now. Once we're done, we released our hands.

"So," I heard him whispered. He came down to my height, "Why are you are you disguised as a boy."

"I knew someone like you would know about this," I whispered back. "I really just want to be treated like an equal, not little of others. And I don't want anybody wanting my body for their personal sex toy."

"Interesting." He then stood up as his hand reached down for my head. If anyone thinks he's going to kill me, then they're wrong… not until I see his bloodlust. Yeah. Even though it was scary when I was watching it in the shows, I know he won't kill me… if his life depended on it.

Kurapika's POV

Damn it! Why isn't he listening to us?! Oh no!

Hisoka will… is patting his… head? "You're so cute."

SLAP!

What the.

"Don't. Call. Me. CUTE! I'LL BREAK OFF YOUR FEET AND STICK THEM ON YOUR HEAD YOU JERK!"

Sennosuke's hitting his head with… a hammer? Where the hammer did came from anyways? How can he be so lax when this guy is just overflowing with danger? I don't know if I should be frightened… of laughing at the sight of Sennosuke hitting Hisoka repeating.

"And stay away from me you perverted clown, jester you are!" He screamed. Now I know for sure he might…. No, I might be wrong about it. He may sound a bit girlish, but he's defiantly a boy.

I couldn't help but laugh at his antics. Alright, I have to admit he has a ton of confidents, but this might be bad for him. But great confidents comes with great strength… I hope. He's a really entertaining guy. I'm glad to have him as my friend.

"How was that experience?" I laughed, as he kept scowling.

"I'm not cute." He grumbled. "Jerk."

"Yeah, yeah." I said, "Let's get back to the others." I can still hear him scowling. He must really be upset when Hisoka called him cute. (Note to self: Don't call Sennosuke cute… or else I might end up dead.) Oh well, but I have this feeling I'm walking next to a girl… or a tom girl.

Hisoka's POV… WHY?!

That girl is really interesting. Sennosuke is probable a cover name. I'm quite impress that she's to keep secrets without using lies. And those weights that are clothing on her must really be heavy. Not even I can lift that much without being crushed to death. Even with them on, she can kill me with one strike… I'm getting excited just looking at her… So cute… I wish I have her as a little sister.

YAY! No one's POV

At that moment, the two went back to the group to see a shock Tompa.

"That guys could've killed you!" Leorio literally screamed in her face. "Didn't you heed this guy's warning?" He shouted/asked as he pointed at the fatty.

"He wasn't even trouble for me, and he's not even that scary." She said "Besides, that Hisoka can't kill me if his life depended on it."

"You must be strong!" Tompa stuttered, trying to hide his fear. "Oh, right!" He shouted as he reached in his bag. "A little something to mark of our acquaintance. How about it?"

That's when he offered them sodas, but Grace knows what's the truth and what's a lie… sometimes, but she knows how this guy loves crushing rookies. It was like yesterday when she was watching episode 3 of the 2011 version.

"How appreciated!" Leorio thanked, and the vampire sighed.

The four grabbed the cans and three began to open them, but Grace didn't and Kurapika opened his cautiously. Kurapika wasn't really sure about this drink. It might have been spiked for all he cared. He thought Gon and Leorio are just being careless, but something isn't right. He thought, why isn't Sennosuke opening his?

"Hehe, seems like Tompa is up to his old tricks again." One of the examinee cackled in silence.

Instead of a friendly smile, the vampire glared at the man, making him flinch. She grabbed his drink and put hers in her nine tail fox backpack. She poured Tompa's onto the ground.

"Ah, just as I thought." She said.

"What do you mean, Sennosuke?" Gon asked in shock and confusion of 'his' rudeness.

She explained, "I kind of overheard some of the examinees said something really important for us about this guy right here." She then received confused looks, but Kurapika is starting to get the jiff of this shenanigan. "I overheard them say, 'he's up to his tricks again,' while they stared at us with smirks on their faces." She saw the man sweating bullets now. "Gon… will you tasted it for me?"

"Sure." He said, then he gave a sip, but then spit it out. "Uh… this maybe overdue."

"Nope," she answered, "Look at the due date."

They saw when the can is supposes to be due and it wasn't even near that time. Today is almost the end of March, and the can says May 5th. Was this some kind of joke?

"And by the color and," she then licked some of it up to see what half the stuff was, "the effect trying to take over… you put a lot of laxative in these, did you, Tompa… the Rookie Crusher." He ran way with his tail between his legs, trying to escape his undying doom. "Coward." If she never saw the manga and the 2011, these guys would've been in trouble… well… Gon will be there, so they would be safe.

"S-Sennosuke," Kurapika said.

Kurapika's POV

Sennosuke… he's smarter than I expected. But he's acting like that he knows what's going to happen next. I should ask him. But for some reason something is telling me I'm wrong. But then again… Gon and Sennosuke are practically the same except that Sennosuke's smarter. He figured out when and where the exam might take place… ok, that might've been my fault for being too careless about my surroundings, but other the that, he knew about the trick on that quiz, also the navigators are actually a family… his senses might be stronger than Gon's because Gon said that he didn't smell it. That's it. That's what I want to ask him.

"Sennosuke." I said. He looked at me with his brown eyes. "You're really amazing when it comes to senses. How did you become so talented? You even surpassed Gon's abilities."

"Yeah!" Said Gon. "When did you become that amazing?"

"I'm pretty interested myself." Leorio said.

He sighed, "I would tell you, but I kind of want it to be a secret. Sorry." Suspicious. What…? Blushing? Why?

"But I appreciate the compliments, thanks guys-"

Soon, we heard a loud bell go off. We looked over to see… a mouthless guy in a suite… weird. I guess the exam will start soon. We were instructed to follow him through this cave.

"Hey, Sennosuke!" Gon shouted.

"Yes," he asked.

"What's that around your neck?" He asked. Wow… I almost forgot to ask him that. I'm starting to feel dumb now.

He looked down at the trinket around his neck and smiled, "Oh, this is a gift from my mother! Girly, right." He showed us a crescent moon and a circle that makes it look like a full moon, but the carvings are hard to read, so I don't know what it says. "She gave this to me on my birthday so I can remember her when I'm taking this Exam. And if you're curious what it says, I won't tell. You have to figure it out."

"Aww." Gon moaned, but Sennosuke patted his head… are they the same age?

"Why are you patting his head?" I heard Leorio asked at the same time I did.

"Can't I pat someone's head that is younger that me?" He… shouted… what?

"You're 12?" I said… oops.

"What?" uh oh. "I'M FOURTEEN YOU KURTA SO OF A MONKEY! FOUR-TEEN!"

I just made my deathbed. I hope he calms down soon!

Yeah! I'm done…. And I don't own Hunter x Hunter so that you know. R&R!
