I forgot to write this before, I don't own Hunter x Hunter and never will be. :( i will only write this on this chapter.

I would like to thank everyone for following and favorite my story this is the first time not writing a one-shot. Thank you.


"Allow me to introduce myself to the remaining forty-two applicants. I am Netero, Chairman of this year's Hunter Exams Selection Committee." So old pervert has a high class name, I guess I should remember his name then, never know when it will come in handy.

"I am his secretary, Beans." He looks like a bean and his name is Beans, how fitting.

"Originally, I'd planned to make an appearance during the exam's final phase, but as I'm already here...I'm loving this tension in the air! So I think I will stick around for the rest of the trip." Killua and I yawn, both not affected nor bothered by the tension, though aware of it unlike Gon, this kid is clueless.

"We are scheduled to arrive at our destination tomorrow morning, at 8 AM. You will find dinner waiting in the dining hall. You are also welcomed to get some rest. In other words you're free to do as you please until you are contacted." What to do, I don't feel tired so I don't feel ready for sleep quite yet.

As I ponder what to do, Killua announces "Okay, Gon! Rochelle! Let's explore the airship!"

"Yeh!" Gon instantly replies.

I cock my head to the side where is the airship, and how are we supposed to get there from the air boat. "Where is the airship?"

"Ehhh! We're on it! How clueless are you?" Killua asks whilst he and everyone looks shocked, again. Dammit i never thought i would be considered clueless.

I look down again and blush. "I thought we were on an air boat. Wait so we can explore this air bo... I mean airship. That sounds like fun. Lets go!" I grab Killua's and Gon's sleeves and start dragging them towards the exit. As i do i look at Leorio and Kurapika, asking them the silent question 'you coming?' they shake their heads and yawn, indicating they are going to sleep. After dragging them a few step Killua and Gon snap back from whatever trance they were in, and we all started running away from everyone into the hall.

Examiner's

Menchi cut into her food but as she does she excitedly asks "Hey how many applicants do you expect to make it?"

"You mean pass the exam?" Buhara asks Menchi who already consumed a monstrous amounts of plate's worth of food.

"Yep this year we have an impressive group. Though I did fail them all at one point..."

"But doesn't it depend on what the upcoming phase's consists of?"

"That's true...But didn't you notice it? One of them had this whole aura thing going on."

"What do you think Satotz?"

"Oh, yes. I like the rookies this year."

"Ha! So you agree?"

"I think #294 has a good shot."

"I'm partial to #99."

"He looks like a selfish, spoiled brat."

"What do you think Buhara?"

"Well. He wasn't a rookie but #44 is the one I favor. I'm sure you noticed, but when #255 was throwing a fit, I was #44 who was really on the verge of killing someone."

"I did notice that of course. He could barely restrain himself from tearing off our heads. But didn't you realize? He was already that way from the moment we appeared. "

"Really?"

"Yeh, he was the real reason I was so edgy. He kept challenging me."

"I had an similar experience. He should be carefully monitored. Though it pains me to admit this, we are birds of a feather with him. However, his affinity for darkness is far stronger. As hunters we are continuously seeking out rivals. Ultimately, the Hunter exam is but a place to find opponents worthy of respect. And every once in a while, we encounter someone who hits the floor running, when we try to slow things down. An oddball of sorts."

"Speaking of oddballs #113 is weird in a different way. Who in their right mind gives someone blood to eat served as gravy?"

"Ahh yes. Well during the first half of phase one she revealed to me that she had previously been to swindlers swamp, when she was just 7 years old, 4 years ago. That and she had been banned by the animals there from interfering with their food or their fun. She read a book for the most of the second half of the run. Lucky for you your meat was cooked though, after the first half she was confused on the reason for cooking meat."

"Oh yes. Whilst everyone was arguing about the challenge she came up to me to ask some questions and she knew there was only one type of pig on the forest though she looked like she didn't know the name of it. She also referred to the rule of animals. That you either eat or be eaten, that as a Gourmet Hunter I should be strong. She was a strange girl."

"Yes, but did you notice Buhara? Her meat was cooked from the inside as well as the outside. She also landed on the web on her feet, and wasn't afraid of falling she even crouched down on it, stood up walked along the web and back to her friends with her eyes closed and crouched down again and only then opened them. She jumped down before I thought the wind was ready, but she knew before I did."

"She is an oddball, as well." Satotz responded whilst sipping some tea.

Rochelle's Pov

Me and Killua smirk at each other, whilst Gon looks between us looking worried. Killua soundlessly opens the door. We slowly creep in, one at a time and grab whatever food we can, whilst avoiding being seen. A game that Killua came up with. I see Killua and Gon each grab a leg of meat, I look around and also grab a leg to eat. I avoid being seen.

When suddenly a cook turns around and sees Gon. He spins round frantically seeing if anyone else sneaked in, and sees Killua and me. "Hey there! Kids!" we all run round the kitchen in attempt to hide or flee. I mainly just run around to cause destruction, 'accidentally' bumping into trays, bowls, food, ect causing them to crash onto the floor. "Stay out of the kitchen!" He catches Gon and Killua and throws the two out and turns to me and grabs me and throws me out to. "Go eat in the dining hall!" We look at each other and hold our legs in triumph.


We casually walk around the halls eating our legs, after all we already explored everywhere that airship had to offer, so no rush.

"Wow, awesome!" Killua runs to the window, me and Gon look at each over then at Killua. "Look Gon, Rochelle." He then presses his face to the window. Me and Gon rush over to see what he was looking at.

"Hmm! What is it?" we both press our face to the window looking at the lights. It is beautiful, every time I see it. Though this is the first time seeing such a view with humans and with people who looks at the view in such wonder. "whoa! It looks like the ground is covered in jewels." We look at the ground with wonder.

"Yeh" Killua and I respond at the same time.

After a while Gon opens his mouth again. "Hey, I was wondering Killua..."

"Hmm."

"Where are your mom and dad?" Gon curiously asks.

"Hmm... They're alive. Probably." Probably? Wonder makes him wonder if they are dead?

"What do they do?"

"They're assassins." He states his tone completely serious, with a slight edge to it. I wonder what an assassin is.

Gon looks surprised "Huh? Both of them?" I cock my head again to the side as he turns and looks at both of us, he looks at Gon in shock but looks at me and sighs slightly. He then giggles in amusement.

"That's your first reaction? Hahaha! You really are a riot!" I tilt my head to the other side even more confused why is he now denying it, it was obviously that it was the truth. "You're the first person who's ever responded seriously." he pauses and look at me "I'm not counting you Rochelle since you obviously have no idea what an assassin is."

"It was the truth though. Why are you trying to deny it now, It obvious that your parents being assassins is the truth. What is an assassin anyway?"

He looks at me in shock and turns to Gon worried. Gon just grins at me then looks back at Killua "Yeh, I knew too you were telling the truth. Right?"

"What makes you guys say that?"

"Hey answer my question first then we will answer yours." I cover up Gon's mouth before he can answer, Gon tries without result to remove my hand, but i ignore him. Killua narrows his eyes slightly, I narrow mine too at the challenge. He closes his eyes after a minute of staring and sighs. As he opens his eyes he turns to look away, and looks outside.

"An assassin is a hired killer. People pay them to kill people who they want dead. They're killers."

"Ok. It was obvious to me. I have been around liars a lot, so I know who is lying and who is telling the truth. When they are good at lying I use my instincts." I let go of Gon's mouth to let him answer as well. I look at Killua to see him look at me in shock. I tilt my head in confusion at his expression, he notices this and shakes his head and looks at Gon.

Gon spends a moment breathing, I may of covered his nose too then. Wopes. "It's just a hunch for me." Killua blinks at this a few times letting it sink in and moves his head and arms to rest on the table in front our bench.

"That's weird... People only like me because they can't ever tell whether I'm serious." I blink letting that sink in. "I'm from a family of assassins. So they're all assassins. And my family has really high hopes for me..." His eyes are looking at the scene outside not looking at our reactions as if scared to see but wanting to know. I rest my head and arms on the table and look at Killua as he talks.

"But I can't stand it. Who wants to have their life planned out for them?" He turns to us now relaxing into the conversation no longer stressed, I find myself smiling. "When I told them I wanted to decide my own future, they all snapped! My mother had tears streaming down her face, as she told me I have the potential to be a top assassin." My smile broadens at this Killua's tone of voice at this, and Gon laughs. "Horrible parents right? It's natural that their kid would go bad. We ended up fighting. So I stabbed my mother in the face, my brother in the side, and ran away from home." Oh so he didn't kill them, they should be fine, oh this is why they are 'Probably' alive. He gains his cheekiness again and his hand rests around his face in thought and happiness. "I'm sure they're out for blood now. But if they find me, I'll send them packing." Then Killua changes completely and has stars in his eyes which I found creepy. "When I become a hunter, I'll start by capturing my family, I'm sure they're worth some hefty bounties..."

"Wow Killua, your great. I never thought of surpassing my farther."

"I see. I guess by capturing my dad would mean surpassing him." His tone turns serious as if noticing this.

"I'm know you will be able to do it."

"That doesn't sound very convincing. You don't even know my farther."

I butt in here also wanting to cheer Killua on."It will take time, but you will. After all looking at you I can tell your farther must be strong, I'm sure you will surpass him, just in time."

He blushes slightly. "Thanks." He mumbles looking down. He suddenly looks up and at me and his eyes seems to of come to a realisation "So you know mine and Gon's stories whats yours." He looks at me as I look down and away from them. "Its only fair I revealed mine and I come from a family of assassins." I look at him hoping he would change his mind, but I see his determination to know. I look to Gon in hope for him to help convince Killua, but he shares the same determined eyes as Killua.

I sigh at the hopelessness. I rest my elbow on the table and look outside. "I don't any have parents. I was thrown away in the trash and ended up in Meteor City. The residents their helped me and raised me. Everyone there have bounds thinner than strangers but stronger than family. Life was cruel, you had to steal food from one another, it was common for others to beat you up to try and steal your food. However there was moments when you would all play games even though you fought the previous day. It wasn't uncommon for 'friends' to attack one another to steal from them or kill them. the strong survive the weak die. That was just the way things were. By the age of about 4 someone gave me my name on the very same day I left Meteor City. He was strange but kind, he said we were family so I asked him to name me." I giggled at the memory "it is a strange name though, but I like it. I left Meteor to train with animals, the animals in the forests are my sensei's they taught me everything they knew. I went to different animals, continuing to learn new things from them. one day they told me of hunters. As time went on I realised I haven't been around my own kind in 7 years, so I mentioned to my sensei at the time that I was going to learn from my own kind." I blushed at the memory. "They laughed at me, they went into hysteria fits of laughter, it took ages to get them to stop. When they did they told me I would never fit in. I guess they were right though my human knowledge is lacking, and since animals never bother learning human names for things, I lack in names." I pause, i gain a name late and then lack in knowing names of things. "Irony sucks." i mumble barely audible "They continued on saying that I may have a shot in fitting in with hunters, but only a slim chance. Judging from the examiners reactions to me they were right. I doubt I will fit in anywhere. Not with animals as I have to live with restrictions with every species, not with people at Meteor City since everyone is so suspicious and uptight. And not here since I am more beast than human." I end up just stating thoughts out loud I realised. I turn to them blushing, I see Gon crying and Killua shocked.

"That's so sad." Gon weeps, I just sit shocked, I made Gon cry. I start waving my hands in panick i don't know how to cheer him up, or anything, what do i do? He suddenly brightens up, and i sigh in relief. "But we accept you. You have fun with us right? You can stay with us, right Killua?"

Killua looks as shocked as I am. "Of course if you want to."

I smile brightly and nod my head. "Yeh, you guys are a lot of fun. Being with you two is the most fun I ever had."I suddenly turn and look at the direction that Netero is in. I don't want to say anymore since he will over hear. Gon and Killua talks to one another whilst I watch Netero to see what he will do, he sees me and looks shocked, but smiles slightly, with a slight glint in his eye; the same glint I get when I'm up to something fun. He then releases a wave of bloodlust. My eyes change instantly my ears and tail appear but are hidden I crouch down on the floor hissing. I keep an eye on his presence ignoring the boys though I stay in the way of Netero and them the whole time. He appears in a different hallway calmly. I hiss at every step he takes closer to us lowering even further, ready to spring and attack. I stay in position on the floor ignoring everything he says and watch him for any sign of an attack.

I feel someone poke my shoulder. I ignore them in favor of keeping my eyes on Netero, who just raises an eyebrow at me. I hiss at the movement, more animal than human, at the moment. I feel the poke again, but again ignore them, they start poking me over and over harder each time. I stay aware of any threats and ignore the poking. Suddenly movement enters my field of vision, but isn't registered as a threat so I ignore again. Then someone touches my hat, I remember I'm supposed to keep the hat on I duck away from their hands. But the hands are relentless I begin weaving away from them, though keeping a stern gaze on Netero, who looks amused. Suddenly water is thrown at me. I sputter and hiss. Though I slowly regain my senses and turn to look at the direction of the water, looking away from Netero, realising he was only doing it for fun. I turn to Gon who is holding the water and Killua who is frozen to the spot who looks like he was the one going for my hat. I cock my head looking at them.

"Were going to play a game with old man there, if we win we get our hunter licence now instead of continuing with this easy exam, want in?" Killua ignores what I just did probably realising what happened and simply state what I missed. I nod my head and smile at them.

We end up in a big room, Netero strips down to a down to a brown vest and rolls up his trouser and get rid of those stupid shoes. He bounces a ball, I eye the ball, I feel the cat in me stirring wanting to play with it. I see Killua eyeing me in the corner of his eye smirking. i remove my eyes from the ball, sadly and cock my head and look at Killua. His smirk grew.

"You were following the ball with your eyes so much, you copied its movement with your head." He grins at me, which makes Gon laugh and Netero to giggle and me to blush yet again. I face Netero with my head down looking at the floor refusing to look at the ball.

Netero stops giggling at me "Now, I'll go over the rules of the game. If you can take this ball from me, before this airship reaches its destination, you win. I believe that we're scheduled for an 8 AM arrival? Well, that still gives you nine hours. You'r free to attack me however, you'd like. I won't touch you."

Huh? That's so easy. You can't call it a game" No it won't he is strong, this should be fun.

"Why don't you give it a try first?"

"We just have to take the ball?" Killua speaks up.

"Yeh."

"Then I'll go first." I sit down and curl up in a ball to watch, knowing I will be going last, Gon is practically dancing in excitement. I can wait I will analyse him in the mean time.

"Go ahead." Netero cockily replies with his eyes closed. Oh this will be good.

Killua looks annoyed, probably due to being looked down on. He slowly begins to circle him, after a moment he slices his steps and moves to a certain rhythm, which creates lots of Killua's. The many killua's surround Netero, but there is only one Killua I subtly keep my eye on the real one, his shadow shows the real one. I have seen an animals with similar techniques, an animal who moves so fast only their shadow is in view, circling their prey they slowly narrow this circle, usually paralyzing their prey in fear. The other moving so fast it leaves a blur of images after the second time circled, this species have glowing eyes which leaves an creepy trail of light. The eyes is what freeze their prey. Both of these animals are fast however they are weak in strength.

I watch as the many Killua's, though my eyes are keen on one. I see the real Killua make a move to the left of Netero aiming for the ball. Netero moves backwards ever so slightly causing Killua to miss by a hair. Killua lands on the floor for only a second before pushing off again directly at him, again Netero jump back, Killua reaches for the ball repeatedly Netero moves the ball so it stays out of Killua reach. He tries to kick the ball away only for Netero to move it just above the kick. He lands on his feet and jumps immediately after trying to reach tha ball, Netero moves the ball, once Killua lands he jumps over him. Killua moves trying to get the ball, only for Netero to act just a bit faster and dart away or move the ball, or roll the ball behind his neck.

Killua slowly gets more and more annoyed at each time, Netero torments him. He looks at Netero and realise he can't just go after the ball since that is what Netero expects. Netero taunts Killua by blancing the ball on a single finger before tossing it up and balancing it on his face, like seals do. Killua launches towards Netero again and goes to kick Netero's leg.

I stand up. "Baka!" However it is to late. Killua kicks his leg hard. I watch his face slowly turns to a face that is in pain. "Baka, he jumped off a air ship whilst it was high up in the air, and landed perfectly fine. What do you think would happen, baka!"I yell at Killua as he bounces around whilst clutches his leg in pain.

"Killua! Tag! Tag! Its my turn!" Gon looks like he can't hold himself still anymore out of excitement.

Killua limps over and hits Gon's hand he sits next to me, I sit back down. I cool down my hand so that it is ice cold. I place my hand on Killua's leg to help ease any pain. He flinches and looks at me.

"Your hand is ice cold. How?"

"One of the animal habitats I lived in before had extreme climate, it was very extreme freezing one second, scorching the next. I had to pick up a way to control my temperature. I am now fine in extreme cold or extreme heat. Though I have a limit of course, but I found that I can adjust my temperature." I shrug it wasn't a big deal, humans can pick up such a skill, after all there was humans living in that climate.

I turn back to Gon who looks ready. He launches himself head on at Netero. Netero lowers his guard. However, he quickly regrets it as Gon jumps up and crashes into the ceiling? I shake my head. Gon clutches his head in pain. I rush to Gon and place my cold hand on Gon which slowly eases the pain, Whilst Killua yells at him and points out all of his mistakes "Baka! We know that you can jump really high! Control your strength! For a moment the old man relaxed his guard!"

Gon sits up and looks at me. "Rochelle your hand is ice cold it's really nice, thank you." I smile at him I slowly remove my hand. Gon place his own hand on his injury and rubs it as he stands. He holds his hand out to me I cock my head in confusion. I suddenly remember what Killua did to Gon earlier and lift my own hand and looks back to Gon's and hit his hand with my own. He nods in approval and I smile. "I messed up there."

"So it's my turn now, old pervert." I revert to his old nickname. I look at him for a moment, I can't face him head on like Gon since that only worked since he thought Gon as too innocent to use his head, though he doesn't use it that much. I decide on Killua's approach is best. I vanish from sight for a moment and appear behind Netero, he turns around just as quick. This time I start running slightly in a certain rhythm like Killua but different, I speed up creating a blur of images, some more potent than others but all staring at Netero. My shadow slowly merges together making it hard to tell who is who. A sound echoes throughout the room. Netero looks at the images confused but stands firm, he isn't easy to scare then. I launch to the right side and jump so I will leap over to the ball. He hasn't used his right hand or left leg throughout the game, making it out to be a weakness. He barely notices me in time he moves back but I'm ready for that. I swing my left hand to his shoulder and change my direction slightly. He goes to move again so I flip in mid air and go to kick him behind the head. It connects sending him forward slightly. I land behind him and leap at him again from the right. He cartwheels over me, holding the ball on his butt. Gross. I push off my feet as he lands reaching for the ball but he simply moves backwards. My hands land first and I push off I flip in mid air and land on his right shoulder. I reach for the ball he moves the ball out of reach. I lower myself quickly to his back his shock allows me to move and cling to his left arm. He tosses the ball in the air so it lands on his face and lowers his arm to the floor. I land on my butt. I quickly get up and attack him non stop each second getting faster, he dodges each one, though he had to use his left foot to dodge. I kick him hard on the stomach and use him as a spring board to reach the ball he ducks slightly causing me to just miss the ball, though I do touch it. Making it fall back towards me. He steadies the ball with his right hand. I look at him in victory, thought the others are behind me and don't see. He looks shocked but smiles.

I look at the ball as he bounces it again. The cat in me stirs inside and my pupils change. He looks at me as he notices my eyes. I eye the ball and feel myself lower into a crouch again. I'm about to pounce when I snap out of it. I shake my head quickly nearly shaking off my hat, though I grab my hat and fix it before it does. My eyes back to normal I turn to the others who are looking at me in shock. I grin at them and hold my hand up. Killua tags back in and I curl up and take a nap.

I wake up to see Killua and Gon both attacking simultaneously at Netero. However, they crash into one another. I stretch like a cat and rub my eyes. "Need a hand?" I ask drowsily. They both nod. I look at Netero for permission who grins at the challenge. Gon starts off the attack by charging head on, he uses his boot to increase his attack range and kicks his chin making him drop the ball. Killua kicks the back of head hard making him fall forward stopping from catching it. whilst in the air Killua reaches for the ball since it is right in front of him. However Netero's hands use the floor and pushes his left leg and kicks the ball away, he flips around but as he's landing, I kick at him disrupting his landing which gives us extra seconds. Although he speedily rights himself, and launches himself at the ball. Gon uses his other boot, pushing it out of his reach. I leap on top of Netero, pushing him into the floor, whilst Gon and Killua reach for the ball, I leap towards the ball directly in front of Netero. Netero gets serious and pushes himself up whilst Gon and Killua are mere inches away from the ball. Netero's left leg pushes into the ground hard pushing himself forward fast. I saw it coming so when he reaches me I use him as a spring board to increase my speed so I'm faster. But Netero doesn't slow down. I reach for the ball with Killua and Gon and go to take the ball as it is in reach, my finger just graze the ball, but I am too far up, so I miss the ball and fall forward as Netero grabs the ball.

I sense bloodlust from Killua so I stand up and walk over I cool down my hand and place it on him, shocking him out of it. He looks up at me grateful, he doesn't want Gon to see him like that, probably.

"I commend you for your efforts." He looks at me slight confusion, I look at Gon and Killua and he gets the picture. When I used him as a spring board I adjusted my height so I would just be out of the balls reach. I won but only him and me knows it, since I didn't grab hold of the ball I won't get my license but I just wanted to play. He underestimated and that is only the reason I got an unknown win.

"You're amazing Netero! Really amazing!"

Killua still is still emitting bloodlust but it is under control I pull him up. "Forget it... I give up. I lose!" he walks off heading towards his t-shirt.

"Why? We still have time. And just now we were really close. "

"Jeez. You really have no clue, do you?" so he realised to then "The old man has barely used his right hand and left leg, though he has used them with Rochelle." he said whilst thinking he looks at me slightly.

"What!" Gon looks shocked.

"But we're still powerless against him. We could chase him around for a year, and never take the ball from him." he looks at me at the end of the statement.

Netero looks at me, before responding "oh so you figured it out? And here I thought I'd fooled you."

"So that's what he was doing."

"Haha. You really know how to piss me off, old man. Let's go Rochelle, Gon!"

"Oh, I'm gonna play a little longer."

"Huh?" Killua rushes to Gon's face before yelling "Didn't you hear what I just said?! It useless! You won't be able to take the ball from him!"

"Yeh! I don't care about the ball. We've only used half of the time limit. So I'm going to get Netero use his right hand before the time runs out." I giggle slightly. However, it grows when I see Killua's face and I end up rolling on the floor. He growls at me as he walks past not waiting for me. After he is gone my giggles ease up and I stand up. I start walking to the exit.

"Your going too Rochelle?"

"Yeh I already got old pervert to use his right hand and left leg. I attacked that side purposely realising the weakness in it. It isn't the greatest weakness, so it still is hard, so it's not much of one." I grin and look at Gon "But that is what makes it fun." I walk out as I smell blood.

I head towards Killua and the blood knowing he killed two people. Bet they annoyed him whilst he was in his already irritable state. I see the bodies and look to Killua.

"Killua!" he turns to me and looks down at the bodies, looking guilty. I look at Killua and realise he is shirtless. I blush "K-K-Ki-ll-u-u-aa." His face is down so doesn't realise I'm embarrassed and nor afraid "Put on a shirt!" I turn around quickly as he looks at me in shock but not fast enough to hide my blush.

Killua's Pov

"Killua!" I hear Rochelle call me. I turn around with wide eyes as I look at the bodies in front of her. She knows I'm a killer. Knowing and seeing are different she's seen the dark side of me. "K-K-Ki-ll-u-u-aa." She stammers out. She's afraid, she has the right to be, I'm a killer after all. "Put on a shirt!" I look up to see a tomato red Rochelle. She quickly turns around. I blush slightly seeing myself shirtless. But it ain't a big deal. I grin slightly.

"Aww you're embarrassed huh? Never seen a guys chest before? Nothing to be embarrassed about, its not like I saw yours. Hmm." She kept teasing me before so here is my revenge, life is good.

"I've seen naked males before." I feel irritated slightly, then I realise 'males'.

"Human males?"

"...No." She groans. I look at the bodies again.

"Why aren't you afraid of me?" I ask the question that's on my mind, its killing me not knowing.

"Have you got your shirt on?" I stay silent. "I want to answer looking at you. So put your shirt on!" I quickly put my shirt on.

"Ok done." She turns around hands over her face and peeks through her fingers before removing her hands. I giggle slightly. She sighs at me and looks me in the eye.

"You're forgetting Killua I grew up where killing was normal. I saw friends kill one another. Hell I killed people; I thought it was normal whilst living there. I then went to learn from animals and had to do what they did. Sleep like them, walk like them, breath like them, eat like them. Killua," She hesitates and looks ashamed and looks at the floor. She barely whispers "some of them ate humans."

I'm shocked she killed before she was 4? She thought it was normal? She ate humans? I look at her in shock but not in disgust. She slowly looks back up at me seeing the shock but breathes out in relive.

"I learnt the value in life from some animals who only ate vegetables or fruit. Though I have learnt the taste of humans too, I know the value of life but I can kill humans without regret. Killing is a part of me no matter what, I accept that side of me though, I accept that life has meaning too. I now kill when necessary and not for fun. I learnt that difference between the two through experience, though it was necessary for me to learn. It isn't necessary for you to learn though. Some animals just killed for fun like the animals in the swamp, some of my sensie's life there. They taught me the fun. I won't experience that again. Though, I still have fun killing." she looks down. "Taking down a strong opponent is thrilling, I won't lie, I may have fun sometimes killing, but I don't kill for fun. There is a difference. There is more to life than killing though, so there is more to us than killing." She smiles at me as she says the last bit as if knowing my fears. She probably experienced them before. Despite being younger she is more grown up in some areas though she is just a kid when it comes to humans.

She has accepted her killing side completely. I walk over to her and grab her hand and pull her to a room to sleep in.

" I won't lie to you either. So shall we get some sleep." I move past the topic. She smiles at me and I smile back. We're both killers but in a different way I guess. She has accepted it whilst I'm trying to suppress mine. I find a room nearby which was empty. I guess it is quite a distance from the speech earlier. I sit against a wall. Rochelle sits next to me and looks down. I look down to see my hand still holding hers and let go. She stretches like a cat, and she called me cat boy, if I'm cat boy she's cat girl. I smirk at the thought she rotates in a circle before curling up and tucking her head by her knees. I stroke her hair as she drifts off to sleep.

She is a weird one, she comes to an exam with take out from upstairs and slurps it up, making her the center of attention. I saw through her plot whilst she kept taking glances at everyone and by the amusement in her clear sky blue eyes. I was so shocked when she invited me to join, her little scheme was genius, I found it hilarious, everyone's faces when she invited me to join, the jealous faces, the drooling faces, I chuckled remembering.

When I saw her drinking from a can of Tompa's juice I found myself worried until I saw that smirk of hers, and knew she was immune like me. I walked with her to a gap in the wall up by the pipes and laid out our stash in our hide out. I was shocked by her confusion over a skateboard, though I found her confusion a bit cute. Though her confusion over my skateboard strange, but I know why now. 7 years is a long time to go without another human. Being forced to kill or eat the only humans who came close. She must of felt alone, like me. Surrounded by my family who looked at me as a killing machine and not at me only ever leaving the grounds to go on missions, killing everyone I was told. Never allowed to have a friend.

I think back to the skateboard incident I answered what a skateboard was but I talked to her as if talking to an idiot. The evil genius who brought noodles down with her was gone. The idiot who didn't know what a skateboard was remained. I remember when she poked me instead of the skateboard like I thought she was going to. She pushed me off. I glare at her sleeping form at the memory.

She keeps surprising me though repeatedly. So does Gon, he said it was fine for me not to tell him my name. The fact he wants to be like his dad but has never meet him. He is so naive, I chuckle he is so dense to the atmosphere, he yelled to his friends about moving up. He is so much fun to be around, nothing is boring with these two.

They accepted my past. They accept me for me, unlike my family who want me to be something else, they want a killer not Killua, the 12 year old boy. Rochelle's past shocked me, but what really shocked me is that she likes being with us to, and is having as much as we are. It's hard to tell she is opening up more now. I guess I am too.

The game we played whist eating our eggs, she is impressive. I can't know who would of won if Gon didn't interfere. I wonder what would of happened if Gon joined at the beginning. Would we ganged up against her. Would they ganged up against me. Would we of ganged up against Gon. Or would of been madness. I'm going for madness, i chuckle we may have to find out.

I think back when I felt the bloodlust I went on high alert, but Rochelle went into attack mode, but she kept us behind her the whole time. Protecting us. Her animal nature seems to of accepted us. She didn't respond to anything. When I poked her to try to get her to leave, or when I continuously poked her with Gon to try and get her to snap out of it and tell her about the game, aware she wasn't listening in that state. The only thing she responded to was any movement Netero made, and me trying to get her hat. Oh that and Gon throwing water at her. I wonder why she wanted to keep the hat on. She isn't hiding her gender, since her hair is down and she is wearing a skirt and a snug t-shirt. So what is she hiding? I reach for her hat whilst she is sleeping she grabs my hand, sniffs it and snuggles into my hand. When she lets go I go back to stroking her hair, its soft and is relaxing. I chuckle, just like a cat. Though even in her sleep she won't let me touch that hat. I sigh I will ask her later. I feel my eyes grow heavy, as I stroke her.

She helped me and Gon with her cold freezing hands, I felt ice warmer than her hands, yikes, though it eased any swelling that would of happened and bruising and helped Gon avoid a nasty headache. During her match, the move she did was similar to rhythm echo but it was different. It was better. Did she learn it from animals; I wonder if she could teach me. it was super creepy though the noise that echoed around especially, I wonder how. Before she switched with me she went back into that animalistic state again, I wonder what would of happened if we didn't switch. I feel she could of got the ball if she wanted to when we all ganged up against old man. She was just too high to grab the ball though her fingers stroked the ball ever so slightly.

I focus on stroking her hair for a moment and find myself falling asleep with one thought in mind. I wonder if I can have fun with them in the next challenge.


Thank you for the review
