A restaurant. The entrance to the Hunter Exam is at a restaurant. They have a sense of humour who ever set the exams up, teasing them with food that they won't get. Well it doesn't bother me I don't need to eat, when you don't eat for a year, and still don't feel hungry you kind of put the pieces together. I eat sometimes just to taste something but I don't need to since I can channel energy. I suddenly gain a smirk on my face. Oh I know how to make the exam more fun.

I go into the restaurant and go up to the man in charge.

"Can I have some hot and sour chicken noodles to go and afterwards can I put in another order." I sweetly ask, he looks at me confused for a moment then suddenly we share a smirk.

"Be one moment." He was really quick as well and hands me my take out.

"Now what is your second order?" he asks as I hand him the money for the noodles.

"A steak" I answer my grin increasing slightly. The evil glint in my eye grows. And the man smiles at me sharing a similar glint.

"How would you like that cooked?"

"Slowly rare." He turns looking at a door and leads me to the back room.

A waitress looks at me confused but opens the door for me to enter; I enter alone, waiting to go down where I can sense everyone and so I can tease everyone else with the food I brought. I feel the lift start going down.

Once the lift gets to the bottom I carry my prize and see a green shaped bean person.

"Hello. Please take a number. Be sure to wear this number on your chest at all times. Be careful not to lose It." and walks off, weird.

I look around at everyone I see that most are looking in my direction and the take out in my hand. I look at the number, hmm so I am number 113. I put the badge on my t-shirt and sit down on the floor. I open up my take out, I subtly guide the air the air to spread the scent, being careful to make it look natural. I smell the bloodlust on 44 from here, so I rather not grab his attention by making my energy noticeable, I blended mine in before I even entered the restaurant. He has it to though the weird energy, like me and Chrollo. Oh well, just make me somewhat more normal than I thought. I start eating making load slurping noises, inwardly laughing; some of the applicants are drooling at the look at my food. I chose noodles for a reason, just so I can eat noisy and no one will notice that it is on purpose. I eat painfully slow, dragging out the torture.

What would be more painful to watch me eating the whole thing, or me 'accidently' spilling the rest on the floor? I see white in the corner of my eye; I let my eyes sweep over to see the other side of the room. I see a boy round mine and Gon's age smirking as if realising what I'm doing. Wait I know the perfect torture. I smirk slightly then let a cheerful look slide on my face.

"Hey!" I stand up and walk over to the boy skipping. He looks shocked for a moment but it disappears quickly. "Can you help me eat this? Please." I ask loudly and I move my eyes slightly gesturing to our audience.

He catches on fast. "It's not good to waste food" so I take out another pair of chopsticks and hand them over and we both finish off the noodles, both making load contempt noises.

"Thanks I wouldn't have been able to finish, all that without help."

"No problem, wouldn't want to waste the food now, would we?" I know that he means free entertainment. "All I need now is a can of juice to help wash it down. Tompa!" He spots someone and runs off. I shrug and walk my own way.

I walk for a bit till a man with a squashed nose walks up to me, pretending to be friendly. Do I act nice or do I crush him, nope not worth bothering with, so act indifferent.

"Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Tompa." I just ignore him looking around for a spot to nap in later. "You're new aren't you?"... "I can tell since I've taken the exam 35 times now. Hehe I'm what you call a veteran! If you have any questions just ask." I guess I can ask about some of the others here but I really don't want to talk to him.

"I guess your shy then. Wait, here have some juice maybe it will help ease your nerves." I look at it; i poke the can, i know there is poison inside but how are you supposed to open it to drink, juice is a human drink, so how do you drink it. I take the can and look it over.

"How do you drink it?" i ask angry at myself that i don't know.

"You never seen a can before?" i cock my head to the side in confusion. He chuckles lightly. He take the can away from me and show me how to open it. i slowly drink it. I stop mid drink, tastes like poison oranges, it is quite tasty. Poison doesn't effect me so i'm not worried about the effects.

"Can I have some more please mister? I want to open the can again, it also tasted nice, poison oranges. i'm quite thirsty aswell." I ask in a quiet voice. He looks shocked but he hands me another but I take five more and skip away before he can say anything. I see white I look over to see that boy again holding his own stash of drinks; he looks at me worried slightly. So he knows wait... Tompa, ah so he ran over to pig nose to torment him earlier. I smirk slightly, he notices and he gains his own smirk. I walk over to a spot I saw earlier and jump up to the pipes to sit and slip into the shadows. White boy comes over and does the same. We lay out our stash of drinks. I take a good look at the boy. He has messy white hair which suits him, bright blue eyes, they kind of resemble a cat in way, wears a blue turtle neck shirt and a pale violet t-short on top, with purple shorts, with purple and white shoes. He also carries a weird board with wheels on. I stare at it wondering what it is I look at it, not alive, I poke it, wood, it's made out of wood. I poke it forgetting about the cat boy as I continue to poke the weird thing, what is it? I suddenly hear laughter I look away from the board and see cat boy, yep that's his name for now, laughing, why?

I tilt my head in question looking at him waiting for him to stop. He suddenly calms down and looks at me and starts again. I suddenly get a bit angry and narrow my eyes at him waiting for him to stop again. When he finally stops he wipes away a pretend tear and looks at me.

"How come you poked my skateboard so much? Have you never seen one before?"

"Nope. So what does it do? It isn't alive; it's made out of wood but is it useful?" I start poking at the wheels. I miss the shocked look on cat boy's face but I was too distracted demanding answers from the 'skateboard'.

"Wait you seriously never seen a skateboard before." I look up at him again dragging my eyes from the skateboard and nodded. He sighs at me "you ride it around you stand on top of it and just push off and your rolling." He explains to me as if I am an idiot. Well I'm thankful for the explanation but no one talks to me like I'm an idiot. I look down at the board looking innocent and go to poke it again, which makes cat boy shake his head and sigh. Instead of the board I poke him, hard. He flaps in midair shocked about being pushed off, before falling to the ground. I inwardly laugh. He lands on his feet with a scowl on his face. I smirk at him and wave at him and pat the pipe, inviting him to come back up, I scoot away from the opening. Though I can still see him he shakes his head a gestures me to throw his skateboard down at him. So I toss the board down and then swiftly all his drinks, causing one of the drinks to hit his head. I smirk again but he doesn't see, since he is already stomping off.

There is around 250 people, hmm nap time. The space I'm in is small so I shift into a cat and curl up to sleep till the man by the moveable wall makes his entrance. I fall asleep keeping my senses open aware what was going on but resting.

Finally he is beginning to move I stretch out still in cat form, oh Gon, Kurapika and pervert are here so they made it huh. I shift back to human form grab my drinks, make sure my energy is hidden and nothing is out of place. I jump out since nothing is poking out; there are no ears or tail and have a drink courtesy of pig nose. I see pig nose in the corner of my vision and smirk into my drink. I quickly finish and open another and walk away drinking. Hmm there is another applicant with weird energy.

Gon is by pig nose by the smell of it, I will see him later. Don't want to talk to pig nose again. I walk to the wall that is about to move waiting. Then there is a shrill noise. I nearly hiss at the stupid noise, but I catch myself. Man I'm lucky I'm wearing my hat my pupils and properly pointed like a cats, ears are properly turned too, my skirt is covering my tail, lucky, my fangs poke my lower lips and my tails sharper. A tiger has the energy that is closely related to me so it is easier to shift in to and I can use all my abilities in that form, whilst in other forms I can only do the very basic depends how their form relate to mine. I find transforming into any cat the easiest but the tiger family the easiest, so easy in fact I do it by accident. Well most of the time it is handy, so I'm not complaining.

Due to trying to shift back without anyone noticing, I miss the whole opening speech no mouth gave but I started walking with everyone. Suddenly everyone speeds up. So phase one has begun huh.

"I neglected to introduce myself. I am Satotz, the phase one examiner. I shall lead you to the exam's second phase."

"Second phase? What about phase one?" Baka this is first phase, the useless will drop like flies after a few hours.

"It has already commenced." Everyone talks voicing their disbelieve it isn't a hard concept to grab though. "You must follow me to the phase two. This is exam's first phase. "I ignore the rest as they try to grasp onto the concept not knowing where the end is and how long it will take not to mention the run itself is will be the test to get rid of the weak. Though there are loop holes. We can take any method there I can jump on his back and have him carry me or anything.

So the hunter exam has officially started.
