Chapter 2: Hunter exam
Kagome's pov
I walked into the hunter exam. Wow! There are quite a lot of people here. I tugged on my badge. I am number 113. I looked around to see if I can find anyone I knew.
"Hey there! You must be new here." I turned around and found myself facing a guy with the tag saying number 16.
"Yo. I am Tonpa. I'm number 16 this year. Nice to meet you." Tonpa extened his hand and I shook hands with him.
"Nice to meet you too. I am Kagome. I was wondering why you said this year earlier." "Oh about that, you must be a rookie. I took the hunter exam about 35 times. So I know who are new and who are… well, not new."
"35 times?" I sweat-dropped upon hearing that.
"That's right. So if you have any question about the hunter exam, you can come ask me. Hey, how about a toast, to celebrate our new friendship?" Tonpa said while taking out two cans of orange juice. I took the can of drink over. Looking down at it, I opened the can of drinks before gulping it down. I looked back at Tonpa before smirking and saying, "thank you very much for your kindness. But sorry to disappoint you, poisons don't work on me. I am immune to them." I crushed the can before dropping it on the floor and walking off with a smirk on my face. Inside my head, I was doing a small victory dance.
I sat down on a pipe, leaning my head against the wall. I peeped inside my bag. Rummaging through it, I took note of what I had. A set of shirt and pant, a bag of lollipop, a bottle of water and my foldable skateboard. I smiled when I found my earphones and Iphone.
"Yes!" I said to myself. Plugging in my earphones, I plopped a lollipop into my mouth. I hummed softly to the tune of the song called, "just awake"(hunter x hunter 2011 ending). It was then I felt someone tapping on my shoulder. Looking up, feeling rather annoyed, I saw a boy around my age.
"Can I seat here?" he asked me. I quickly nodded my head.
After a few awkward moments, I realized he was staring at my lollipop. I smiled at the boy before asking if he wanted one. I could have sworn I saw his eye sparkle for a second before answering yes.
"Here you go. By the way, I am Kagome, twelve this year. Nice to meet you," I said while handing him the lollipop.
"I am Killua. Twelve this year too. Thanks for the lollipop. Hey, that is some cool weapon you have there. Can I take look at them?" I looked down and realized he was staring at my twin scythes.
"why is there a chain connecting between them? Is it not easier to wield if they were not connected?" Killua asked me curiously while returning the sharp weapon back. I shrugged and explained,
"I feel that it is better this way cause sometime when I throw one of my scythes at my target, I might still have to run over to the scythes to collect them. So it is easier for me as the weapons will always be connected to me. you dig?" Killua nodded his head before asking if I could show him how I use my weapons.
"Sure why not? Do you have anything I could use as a target?" I asked Killua. Killua looked around a few times before tossing me an empty can. I realized that the can was Tonpa's poisoned juice.
"You know the juice is poisoned right?" Killua smirked at me before telling me that he was immune to most poisons.
Placing the empty can on the floor, I threw one of my scythes at it with ease, slicing it into half. "Wow, clean cut. Nice," Killua commented shortly after I did my little 'act'. I smiled at him before placing my scythes back into my pocket. "There are quite a lot of other ways I could use the scythes for. Quite handy once you get use to wielding them," I told Killua before showing him a few more tricks I knew. I found out that we both had quite a few things in common. Like our love for candy and sweets and our talent at skate boarding. Killua showed me his skate board. Killua's skateboard is yellow in colour with a red arrow on it while mine was a black skateboard with the word 'AWESOME' written in red on top and a glittery black kitten on the side.
Suddenly, I heard a loud scream. Both Killua and I turned our heads towards the direction and the sound. I saw a man dressed like a clown standing there while another man was trapped in between two walls.
"Hisoka," I hissed.
I turned my head away from the scene. Killua noticed and asked me what was wrong. I told him,
"that is Hisoka, number 44. I heard that he is a magician." He nodded his head. I looked up at the ceiling when a loud buzz was heard throughout the whole place.
