It's the day the ship returns to the island. Kyoko was the first to show up. With her hands behind her head, she awaited the others. Not long after, they slowly began to trickle in. Soon they were all on an air ship, being interviewed by Netero. When her number was called she went inside.

"Ah, hello, Kyoko. Please sit down." Netero said. She took a seat in front of him. "Why do you want to be a hunter?" He asked.

"I want to help pay for my aunts medical bills. Nothing else really." She stated.

"Ok, Who are you watching out for, and who do you least want to fight?"

"Who am I watching out for... Hm.. that'd have to be 44, but I'm also watching out for 405, as you asked.. I'd also like to avoid fighting both, can't have a potential enemy figuring out my nen, and I don't want to hurt a child, but I will none the less"

"Ah, I see. You're excused." He said.

"May I ask you a question?" Kyoko asked. He nodded. "Why do you want me to watch out for those kids?"

"Because they're kids, and I can tell you needed a positive influence." He replied. She scoffed.

"O-k." She scoffed, leaving.

The next day, they were in a hotel owned by the Hunter association. Kyoko was dissatisfied with her room, as it did not come with a shower.

Walking out of her room, she asked the first employee she saw where the female showers where. The woman kindly gave her directions and added 'It's so nice to see a woman in the hunter exam, you don't see many. You'll be a good hunter, I can tell.' Kyoko thanked the woman, and gave her what money she had on her as a tip. After walking around for a few minutes she found the showers. Even for a shared bath, they all had their own stalls, with blurred glass doors, a soap rack, and little benches. The walls of the stalls went all the way from the floor to the ceiling and the doors had locks. She locked the door of the actual bathroom before ever setting down her things. She took her time showering.

"It feels like it's been years since I had a real shower." She said, standing under the water. She ran her hand over the slice in her side. She bent in a weird position trying to look at it. "That's gonna leave a scar." She mumbled, watching the crusted blood wash away. When she got out, she wrapped her now short hair in a towel, and got dressed in a set of loose clothing she had in her bag. (AN: Her bag has everything.) A crop tank top, and a pair of baggy yoga pants that tightened around the ankles. "It's so nice to be in clean clothes." She mumbled, shoving her dirty clothes in a near by trash bin. Her towel had came untwisted, so she settled for it just laying over her wet hair. She was so tired, actually fighting off sleep as she walked back to her room. One hand on the wall, and stumbled to her room. Her eyes had closed temorarily, and her senses began to dull. Soon she collided with a hard, solid form. Not bothering to open her eyes she mumbled a 'my bad.'

"Well it certainly is your bad.~" Kyoko opened her eyes just a little to see who she had ran into. Not having the energy to pick a fight, Kyoko settled for trying to go around him.

"I knew I saw some purple hair and blood in that stream... and a body of course~" Hisoka said, side-stepping in her way. "I just didn't expect the blood to be from that~" He pointed at the injury on her hip.

"Min..d your own.. busi..ness" She felt her head getting light, and every thing went blurry. "Now.. if you'll... excuse... me..." Kyoko trailed off as she lost consciousness. Hisoka saw her begin to sway, and was quick to catch her.

"I-diot. You're supposed to eat when you lose so much blood.~" Hisoka chimed.

The next morning Kyoko woke up in her bed. She abruptly sat up, ignoring her throbbing side, and looked around.

"How the hell.. I don't even remember getting out of the shower." She said holding her head. Her attention turned towards the door being knocked on. Sliding the covers off, Kyoko walked unevenly to the door.

"What do you want?" She said glaring at the person behind the door.

"Please come down stairs in 30 minutes." A man in a suit said soon before walking away.

She moaned and shut the door, sliding down it. Her side was still throbbing so she looked at it, and was surprised to see it was freshly bandaged. "What the hell.."

She began the crawl back to the bed, not caring how she got there anymore and not caring about the bandage.

"To hell with the exam just let me sleep, dammit." She mumbled. "Wait.. exam.. oh, that's right." She stood and put on her flat foot shoes, and secured her dagger to their sheathes. She ran her fingers through her barely shoulder length hair, and let out a sigh. She then began the treacherous journey downstairs. Grouped with the others, she yawned and rubbed her eyes.

When Netero revealed the final phase, his insanity was confirmed.

"Well, I guess age isn't good on the brain, you nut-job of an old man." Kyoko said not bothering to whisper, looking at the bracket in disbelief. What the hell is this mans game? "What the hell compels you to think this is adequate?"

"First, Hanzo and Gon." Netero announced, ignoring her question. You're kidding me. He's a 12 year old, that ones a ninja. How is this at all going to produce results for anything?

"Oi, I asked you a question, old man. What the hell kind of self pleasure game are you playing? How does this produce results?" He just smiled at her. She squinted her eyes, and tilted her head, a vein popping. "Tch."

(AN: I am not writing the Gon x Hanzo fight scene because we've all seen it.)

3 hours later, Hanzo finally conceded, only after knocking Gon unconscious. I was up next for Hanzo.

"I'm not gonna hold back." He said cracking his knuckled.

"Wouldn't imagine it." She said, bored. He didn't waste any time making the first move. He went for a chop, like in his fight with Gon. Kyoko waited until the last second. She twisted, grabbed his hand and flipped him. As she yawned, still hold his arm, she twisted it, and brought him to his feet. He preformed and elaborate kick to her Achilles heel, and she was on the ground. "Dammit, dammit, dammit, that reeeeeaally hurts." Specifically, it sent a wave of pain to her hip. He picked her up by the collar of her shirt, causing it to rise up a little revealing her tattoo. He raised her higher in the air, and slammed her down, and stepped back a little. "Well, if this isn't a bit of dajavoo for me." She muttered standing up. Blood dripped from her eyebrow, she wiped it with her thumb licked the blood off her finger. She felt pain in her side, and saw the wound was bleeding through the bandages. She said "Tch, I'll have to end this quick. You opened my hip up, and it had finally stopped bleeding." She took off, bouncing around the room. "Heh, can your eyes keep up?" She taunted. Then she appeared in front of him. As he went to attack, and dodged it. "Too slow." She giggled, punching him right in the jaw, he was on the ground now. "I'm getting excited, I haven't had this much fun in a while. Come on, hit me." She grinned, kicking him in the stomach. He flew back and hit the wall. "Get up and hit me or concede. Those are your choices. Fight me, or give up." She said smiling. He began to stand. She walked over to where he was, she raised her foot to step on his back, but he cought it by the ankle. "Oooohhhh..." She said smiling. He pulled her out from under her feet, she didn't try to stop him. Hanzo stood over her. He brought back a fist to punch her. He swung at an alarming rate, but Kyoko moved her her head a little to the left just before impact. Sitting on her, he began to throw punch after punch, Kyoko dodging all of them, laughing.

"You- damn- crazy- bitch!" He shouted, he stopped trying to hit her, and dug his fingers into her stitches. Her smile gone she gritted her teeth, and tried not to scream. "All you've done this whole match is hit me and kick me a couple times, laughing, giggled, and smiling like an idiot! What's wrong with you?!" He shouted. He pushed his fingers further into the slice on her hip, causing blood to flow like it were a fresh wound. "Are you even human?!" He screamed in her face. She flipped them so she was stradling his waist, blood dripping.

"Now now, no need to be rude. We're all human, aren't we?" She said with a wicked grin. 'Ill play with him a bit longer.' "Catch me if you can..." she whispered. Hanzo went to hit her, but what he hit was just her after image, and it turned to smoke. She sealed her presence completely, and appeared behind him, giving him a swift kick to the side. He recovered quickly, gritting his teeth through the pain. He spun and gave her a fast punch to the face. The force caused her to slide back a few feet. Shocked that he recovered so quickly. He smiled, and prepared to launch. Kyoko stood there, ready for impact. She could have simply dodged it, but she decided to block it, crossing her arms above her head. When his fast came in contact with her arms, she leaned back, and then shoved forward, throwing him. He rolled once before catching himself. "You're getting cocky and under estimated me. I'm simply trying to not kill you." She said through the pain in her side, a little upset that his ego boosted enough to directly attack her. "Cocky bastards like you are not amusing. I'll give you right now to concede." Her eyes prove the amusement them selves.

"You're getting desperate." He said with a smug look. "If you're worried I could beat you, then I will." She laughed. This wasn't the laugh she usually had, this one was a real laugh from the heart. She was genuinely laughing at Hanzo's combination of ignorance and arrogance. Doubled over, she laughed out a few words. The laughing hurt her side and cause the blood to pump faster, but she couldn't help it.

"You... you.. idiot..." She said, rising up, wiping away a tear. After just one glance at him she began laughing again. A few others started chuckling, her natural laughter was the type to be contagious, and beautiful, unlike the manic laugh she had earlier. An angered Hanzo charged at Kyoko at top speed. Kyoko sobered and in the blink of an eye, she was gone. Hanzo stopped in his track.

"Where the hell are you?! You coward! Dodging and disappearing, attacking and fleeing! Fight me seriously!" He shouted. Behind him, Kyoko spoke.

"You see, I can't fight you seriously. You are advanced in what you do, I see, I mean, you actually hit me a couple times. But you see, I'm stronger than you. I'm not being confidant or stuck up, it's the dead truth. I could snap you in two pieces, if needed. I've got abilities that would turn your mental fortitude into pudding. I could kill you with out moving from this spot." She said, pointing at him. Vines slithered out of her hands, but she changed her mind and made them disappear. "How bout I show you those daggers you wanted to see." She said grinning, pulling both daggers from their sheathes. Hanzo didn't move, but simply observed.

"You see, they're special... magical if that's what you'd call it." She put the ends of the daggers together, and closed her fist around where they touched. Focusing her nen on her fist, the daggers grew and morphed into an entirely different weapon. The blades streched out longer, the points facing opposite ends, the curve of the blades facing different directions. The weapon had morphed at least 7 feet long, with each blade being 1 foot long and the shaft being 5 feet. "Mother made this for me, it has a special ability." She looked up at a terrified Hanzo. "Don't worry the ability doesn't work on normal people, but it will still cut you down." She began swinging her double edged staff in such a fluid motion, it was almost as if it were a dance of death. She sliced at Hanzo well over 100 times in under a minute. He stepped back and laughed.

"You missed." He said almost relieved, but a few seconds he began gushing blood. Her moves where so swift and excellent that his body hadn't registered that he'd even been injured.

"Don't worry, they aren't deep so you will live." She said. "Now.. You might wanna concede." She smiled.

"I.. concede.." He says through gritted teeth. Hanzo collapsed on the floor, trying to hold what wounds he could. Kyoko turned to Netero.

"You might wanna get him some medical help." She said, still smiling. "I'll be going to my room now." Holding her side, she walked off, wondering eyes following her.

A few hours later.

'I already know the benefits of a hunter license and I'm not that much of an idiot to lose it.' She thought. She sat with a bored expression, looking at her license, flipping it over and over in her hand, twirling it, figeting. Soon she decided there couldn't be anything else important to learn.

"May I be excused?" She asked, standing, her hands placed firmly on the desk before her. "I've already done lengthy research on the benefits of a hunter license."

"I-i uh- sure." Mr Beans answered. She bowed to show her thanks, and walked out. She passed a determined looking Gon on her way.

"Congrats, Gon. You can finally look for your dad." She said.

"Thanks. Congrats to you too." He started to walk.

"Wait! Here, if you ever need help or need anything, call me." She gave him her number. "It's good to make friends with hunters than to make enemies."

"Yeah, alright. Thank you!" He smiled and waved as she walked away.

"Sorry about Killua, I heard. You go get your friend back." She said while walking, doing a lazy two finger wave. Gon smiled, and continued on his way. "Stupid kid. Getting involved with assassins, the Zoldycks no less." She muttered. She went back to her room, and gathered her items. She checked to see if her phone had charged and it had. She punched in her home number.

"Hello?" Daiki answered.

"Hey." She said.

"Kyoko? How's the exam?" He asked. She heard her name screamed in the background by Hikari.

"I passed. I'm officially a hunter now." She answered.

"You hear that Hikari?" She heard him say. "Kyoko's a hunter." She heard another scream in the background.

"Tell her to calm down, alright?" She said chuckling. "During the last phase, I kind of went over board."

"What happened?" Daiki asked, concerned.

"Well, I was fighting, and this guy got pretty cocky, and I used daggers on him." She sighed. "But I didn't kill him!" She added quickly.

"It's alright, Kyoko. You passed and that's all that matters.." He assured.

"Yeah, I guess." She sighed. "Well, I'm going to get off here, and head for Heavens arena, I'll call you soon." She took the phone from her ear and hung up.

"Time to go." She said, walking out of the hotel room.

So let me explain why kyoko could even fight with the injury and having passed out the night before, when she woke up she felt refreshed after sleeping her body had made more blood to make up for that she lost. Idk if that's how blood cells work but that's how they work in this story.

Thank you for reading! Please review and tell me what you think. :)
