It had been two weeks since Nana had reluctantly joined Chrollo and the Phantom Troupe. During this time she has learned about her new fellow colleagues and their quirks. At this time, they all lounged around the hideout in the abandoned warehouse doing their own things. Chrollo sat in his makeshift throne of books. Shalnark, Nobunaga, and Franklin played cards. Pakunoda cleaned her gun. Shizuku was reading as well. Nana could not see what the others did or had any clue to begin with. The rest never really talked or interacted with her. All she knew at this point in time is their loyalty to Chrollo and they were not people to mess with. Nana was meddling with her ropes, checking the state they were in and making sure her nen was still in good shape. To her left Feitan sat flipping through a Trevor Brown book. Nana glanced and slowly leaned over, looking over the small interrogator's shoulder. "Woah." Nana breathed causing Feitan to scowl and side glare at the girl entering his personal space. "Sorry." Nana bit her lip as she slinked back to her own spot, lighting a cigarette. "I enjoy his work." The cigarette bobbled in her mouth as she mumbled her excuse, going back to sharpening her nen.

Feitan groaned as he gestured for her to move back and look at the book with him. The girl smiled in glee and hopped back over. "Put out cigarette." He snapped at Nana. She huffed and took a drag, blowing the smoke the opposite direction.

"Just let me finish it real quick." She went to take another drag when the interrogator ripped it out from between her lips, crushed it in his hand, and threw it across the warehouse.

"Out now."

"What the fuck, Feitan!" Nana yelled as she stared at him in disbelief.

Since the time she's been here, Nana has slowly become more comfortable with being herself around the Troupe. No one would have guessed the awkward tiny blue haired twerp had the mouth of a sailor the first day they met her. No one would have guessed that the mentally disturbed woman actually had a soft spot for gardening, especially flowers. And even though they should have known by her nen, they never really expected her to be such an open minded pervert, though it was mostly playful and innocent.

"Oh, they're at it again." Franklin commented to the rest as he laid down a card. The three turned to watch as Nana went to light another cigarette and Feitan blocked her every single move. The two dodged and attacked each other around the warehouse. Nana bobbed and weaved, blocking her cigarette from Feitan's attacks and the wind swirling around them from the movement, hoping that the lighter would actually work.

"Come on, Feitan! Just let me have one!" She sighed dramatically. Feitan jabbed at her face, hitting her directly in the nose. Nana stumbled back and held her face.

"Uh oh." Shalnark gave a nervous as he watched Nana glare at her attacker and snap her fingers that were now cloaked in nen. Quickly her nen ropes slithered to her, up her sweatshirt, and wrapped around her body. Feitan would not admit it to anyone but he enjoyed it when Nana got this way. It excited him that he could experiment on ways of torturing her, trying to make her snap even when she was in her nen state. Make the girl who couldn't feel anything, scream in agony. Feitan launched his attack and aimed to hit her again in the face to have his punch stopped by a large pale hand. He glared at the person ruining his game. Hisoka smiled and tsked, shaking his finger at the small man.

"Now now, don't go playing with my toy without my permission." He purred, pushing Feitan away. Hisoka turned to a heaving Nana, fury burning in her eyes at she stared at the twisted magician in front of her. "Nana-chan, come." As much as Hisoka gave her the creeps, she couldn't help but listen to him when he told her to do something. Maybe it was the sound of his velvety voice, or how he carried himself around her. Or maybe it was because she was utterly insane. Nana snapped out of her tantrum and stuck her tongue out at Feitan, who made a move to attack her again.

"Where are we going?" She asked before making a move to follow him. He cocked his head to the side, amber eyes gleaming as he looked back at her.

"We're taking a little trip, Nana-chan."

"Where the hell did he run off to?" Nana grumbled to herself as she shakily lit a cigarette to calm her nerves. Their little trip was apparently to the hunter examination. At this moment Nana stood by herself with a forty five pinned to her chest, trying her best to stay away from everyone here as she scanned for the demented magician who ditched her in the sea of people. "He knows I'm afraid of crowds." She could not believe he did that. Wait, no, she did. She should have known he was going to do that and she should anticipate worse while she was stuck here with him. He was selfish.

"Hey, you seem new here! Hey you, blue hair and glasses." Nana felt like she was going to vomit. Someone was trying to get her attention and the last thing she needed at this moment was to be talking to a total stranger. Nana acted as if she didn't hear the man calling out to her but much to her dismay, it didn't work. Soon she felt a hand on her shoulder and she cringed. "Hey, you must be a newbie, right? First time I've seen you around. I'm Tonpa." Nana took a drag of her cigarette and blew it in his face, hoping that it would make him go away.

"N-Nana."

Tonpa coughed and smiled. "Well Nana, you seem nervous. Do you want a drink to calm your nerves?" He pulled out two kinds of juice for her to choose from.

"No thank you." She gave a fake smile and tried to change her attention elsewhere.

"Oh come on, it's free. It will help."

"No, really, thank you though."

"Well how about some chocolates? The sugar will help you feel better." Nana gritted her teeth. This man would just not leave her alone. She started tapping her foot as Tonpa kept trying to "help" her out with her nerves.

"Will you just fuck off?" She snapped, turning and glaring at the fat man who stood before her now completely stunned.

"Woah, sorry. I was just trying to help."

"Well you're not. You're trying so hard that I would have to assume that you have alternative motives. How many times have you even been here?" She hissed.

"Thirty five." Nana's eyes narrowed.

"suspicious. If I would have known any better I would assume th-" just at that second a shrill scream was heard through the building. Nana quickly turned to find the source of the commotion. A man was on his knees, screaming in agony as his arms fluttered off into the air as bright pink flowers. Hisoka stood there in a flourish as he smirked.

"You should apologize when you bump into someone."

"That bastard." Nana growled as she stomped her way over to the magician flaunting his strength. "You left me all alone!" She cried as she was about a foot away from him. Hisoka cocked an eyebrow at her and studied her contorted face. The young nen user looked like she was about to cry, or tear him to shred. Maybe both, he was not completely certain. "I was so scared…" She whispered hanging her head. Nana sniffled a couple times then swung and punched the stunned Hisoka in the gut. "Don't fucking leave me like that again!" She yelled as he stared at her in disbelief and then chuckled.

"My little Nana-chan want me around all the time?" He cooed. He leaned over and whispered in her ear "does my toy want to play?" Nana went to punch him again and he caught her wrist, twisting her arm towards her back, making her spin around and land in his chest as he painfully contorted her arm. His free hand went to her neck and gave it a light squeeze. "Be careful, Nana-chan. You're getting me excited in front of all these people."

As Hisoka was getting ready to toy with Nana more, the buzzer went off and signaled the beginning of the hunter examination.

Nana heaved as she rested her hands on her knees trying catch her breath. She wasn't sure how long they just ran but she was not one who enjoyed running for a long period of time. She pulled out a cigarette and placed it between her full lips and stood up and looked up at the sky.

"Smoking is bad for you, you know." Someone stated. She rolled her brown eyes to her left to see a topless man standing there staring at her with a scowl trying to catch his breath in the most exaggerated way.

"I know."

"Then stop." He huffed at her. Who was this man telling her what she should or shouldn't do?

"It calms my nerves." She nonchalantly said as she lifted the lighter to her face. He stomped over and ripped it out of her hands. What was with people and ripping these things out of her hands? She was seriously getting sick of it.

"It's cancer in form of a stick. None of us want to inhale that." He yelled at her.

"Can I have that back, please?" Nana raised her hand out, palm up, waiting for him to place the lighter back where it belongs.

"No."

"Leorio, give it back to her." A soft voice entered the interaction between the two. They could tell that a fight with Nana would be a waste of time. She was seen with the sadistic clown multiple times so they obviously know each other. And if they know each other, she was not a force to be reckoned with.

"No! It's not right for her to be able to do that to all of us innocent bystanders!" He yelled, getting furious.

"Leorio." They warned. The owner of the voice walked up and took the lighter out of Leorio's hand and handed it back to Nana with a faint smile. "Sorry about that."

"No problem, thank you."

"Kurapika!" Leorio was ready to drill into his friend who came to Nana's aid but two kids stepped in before a fight ensued.

"Leorio, Kurapika, you made it!" A cheerful voice echoed around them. Nana looked at the two boys who bounded their way over, one with a large grin sprawled across his face.

"Is this the end of the first phase?" The smiling boy shook his head.

"No."

"Figures." Nana tsked. The smiling boy turned to Nana and even though she didn't think it was possible, his smile got even bigger.

"Hi, I'm Gon! What's your name?" Nana's face flushed, her nerves taking over again.

"Nana."

"That's a pretty name! Nice to meet you Nana. Seems like you didn't have a problem with that run at all." Nana shook her head no.

"I run a lot though I hate it."

"It's not fair. You should have a horrible lung capacity." Leorio huffed at her.

"I-"

"Killua."

"Huh?" Nana asked turning back to the two boys. The white haired boy shoved his hands in his pockets and looked away with his eyes closed.

"I'm Killua." Why did this young boy look familiar?

"Nana."

"I know." He matter-of-factly stated. Nana arched an eyebrow and smirked.

"You seem familiar." She quietly said as she pointed her fingers holding her cigarette at him.

"Zoldyck." Nana "ahh'd" as it clicked in her head.

"I've run into your brother a few times."

"Explains why she can run for a long time without any problems." Killua stated. Nana smiled at the young assassin. She pushed her glasses up the brim of her nose and gave a small chuckle.

"Don't go spilling my secrets now." Killua gave a quick huff and smirked.

The group turned their attention to the examiner as he explained this segment of the first phase. They would be running through the swamp, reaching the second phase but they had to watch out for the creatures that resided here since they would do anything in their power to trick them and kill them. Some of the contestants scoffed at that comment, saying how would they get tricked if they were just warned about it.

"Don't listen to him!" Someone yelled behind them all. A man in bad shape popped out from around the edge of the building they just exited. "Don't listen to him! He's not the examiner!" The person pulled out a monkey looking creature that had the examiners face, stating how he came and attacked him. At that second they fell back with a sudden yelp. A card was sticking out of his forehead. Nana knew exactly who was the cause of that and glared at Hisoka who stood there smirking.

"That makes sense." He stated. A true hunter would be able to block his attack no problem. "He is the true examiner."

"Hisoka…" Nana grumbled as she slapped her face.

"Keep close and follow me." The examiner bellowed as he took off into the fog.

A/N: Hey everyone, thank you for sticking with me during this train-wreck. I know it hops around and doesn't include all the social interactions during the first part of the exam but there's a reason for that: it's not really important to this story. So they just make their introductions and move on. Next part will still be part of the hunter exam. Review and all that jazz
