Remember when I mentioned that Blue was keeping me sane?

Yeah, fuck that. I'm going to kill her the next time I see her.

I looked down to the floor to avoid meeting their gaze. Fear churned at my stomach and I started to shake while holding me breath. I was starting to sweat and not because this hood was hot. Oh shit, my hands are starting to clam up under my gloves.

"Hey kid?! What's the big idea, huh?!" Leorio screamed, marching over to me while his face was lit with exagerated anger.

Normally, this would have been hilarious to see on TV. Right now, however, I was completely frozen where I stood in sheer terror. Especially when he grabbed onto my shoulder when I was about to bolt for it.

I was going to die. This is it. Beam me up, Goddy. My time has come.
...I'm going to hell for that, aren't I?

Oh god, they were right in front of me. They won't do anything to me, right? They aren't Hisoka or Illumi or any of those people. They won't kill me just for a small thing like that. It'll be fine. I'll be fine.
Why am I so scared then?

I gulped.

I was right. Leorio is huge. I barely reached up to his waist. I don't even want to look up right now. I'll just keeping looking at his shoes until he goes away. He's going to go away soon, right? He's not really going to care that I just hit him in the face...

'Blue, help me!'

'Nah.'

'BITCH! DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE?'

'Kind of.'

'Well fuck you too then.'

'Rude.'

I gulped again and took a small step back, but his grip, which was actually starting to hurt a bit, was keeping me in place. Gotta think. Gotta think. I need a good excuse for throwing candy at them. One that isn't complete bullshit like all the ones that I usually think of or the truth.

Do you think they'll believe me if I tell them that a crazy, pink haired girl with cosmic fanfiction powers took over my body and threw the candy to get them to take me on epic adventures that could result in my death for the sake of people's entertainment?

Wait...I threw candy...and hit Leorio's juice can...(plus his face). The can that I already knew was poisoned...
THAT'S IT!

"T-The juice was p-poisoned, sir... I was t-trying to s-stop you from d-drinking it..." I said, stuttering and whispering.

I felt his grip loosen, which gave me a chance to move his hand off of me.

(Ugh. I sounded pathetic. The little girl voice and body really did not help)

"My deepest apologies for hitting you. It was not my intention to." I bowed slightly, hand clasped in front of my chest to make myself as small as possible.

'Please buy it. Please buy it. Please buy it.' I kept repeating in my head.

Gradually, I felt the atmosphere become less tense as Leorio's anger started to go down.
Though, the small glares that Tonpa was giving me, along with the suspicious ones of Kurapika were still bringing the mood down. If those eyes could burn holes into me, I would be Swiss Cheese.

"WHAT? YOU BASTARD!" Leorio spluttered, no doubt turning on Tonpa.

Good. If their attention is turned on Tonpa, then they'll leave me alone and I can go back to avoiding them. Screw what Blue said.

"How did you know it was poisoned?"

Dammit. Kurapika just had to turn this back to me, didn't he? He couldn't just leave me here to run away from them in peace. Who am I kidding, I wouldn't leave me alone either if a complete stranger hit my friend in the face out of nowhere.

You know, Kurapika was very intimidating in real life. His voice gives me chills, god damn. Just the feeling when I stood around him was very cold and gave me a 'don't get close to me' vibe. I wonder why no one has commented on this.

"I-I drank it, s-sir. It t-tasted like laxatives." I said, withering under his intense glare.

Damn it all. I could feel his suspicious looks and I frankly, did not find them anywhere near pleasant. How did anyone find this character hot and alluring?

I find him, along with every other character here, bat shit crazy.

"If you drank it, how are you still standing? Shouldn't you be undergoing its effects too?" He still sounded suspicious.

Crap. Now what do I say? I'm just going to bullshit my way throughout this entire thing and hope that it matches the plot that I'm pretty sure Blue didn't think through.

"I'm immune to m-most poisons, sir." I said. "Most of my tribe is. I c-can still taste it, though."

"Really? That's so cool!" I almost jumped.

I completely forgot Gon existed because of the heavy atmosphere here.

"I lived near the forest, so my tongue is trained to detect anything weird!" He said. "Thanks for trying to warn us before anything bad happened! I can't imagine what would happen if one of us drank it."

He's a really perky kid, I'll give him that. Terrible at reading the mood, though. It should be obvious how suspicious his friends were of me.

"Yeah. Can't imagine." Leorio said through gritted teeth, holding Tonpa by his collar.

"My name is Gon! This is Leorio, Kurapika and Mr. Tonpa! What's your name?"

I blinked and tentatively looked up, though I was still tense. Kurapika's glares didn't go down at all. I'm starting to think that he thought I wasn't to be trusted. I mean, I did nearly attack them out of nowhere.

I caught a glimpse of Gon's eyes and it was like they were made of freaking sugar. I never saw such sweet and innocent eyes before. They made me feel at ease around them, like nothing could go wrong with him around.

Both the anime and the manga were right with their portrayal of him. Gon has a gift for getting people to trust him.

"Please to meet you, Gon-sama, Leorio-sama, Kurapika-sama, and Tonpa." I curtsied, bowing while holding the ends of my complex hoodie.

I could hear Blue squealing in my head at how perfectly I made her character act. I could only cringe at the way Blue's character spoke. It was way too stiff and formal to sound natural, even if I was a high class princess.

I pulled myself back up.

Wait a minute? Shouldn't the first phase have started by now? I'm pretty damn sure this whole ordeal took a hell of a lot longer than what we were shown in the anime?
Did the time frames of transitioning change to revolve around my life here? What kind of logic is that?

BBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

OH THANK DEAD LORD JESUS IN HEAVEN!

The entire room fell silent as the god forsaken screech filled the room. I took that time to grab my bag, throw it over my shoulders, and scuttle away while they were distracted to the other side of the room.

'FREEDOM!'

'BUT YOU WERE JUST GETTING TO KNOW THEM!'

'DON"T CARE!'

Once I knew I was safely hidden behind the nearest person, I let myself relax with a sigh of relief.

Thank god. I was sweating bullets back there and the tension was threatening to kill me.

The group was still in view of me, though hiding behind the large men in the crowd did help a bit. Gon was looking around for me.

I gripped onto the straps of my backpack just a bit tighter and tried to step farther up into the front of the room, though it was impossible with the large amount of people. I was stuck in the back.

"As of now," I was too short to see Satotz, even on my tippy toes, though I could hear him. These huge ass people were blocking the view. "Registration is closed."

Welp. Time to die.

How much water do I have? I refilled them in the restaurant below and drank one here, so I have at least 5 of them left. Maybe more if I get more juice from Tonpa, as gross as it was.

"The Hunter Exam will now begin. Everyone ready? Good."

I was not ready, but I braced myself. It's only...like...6...hours...of running...
I gulped again.

"This way please."

I wanted to cry. Satotz kept talking in the background.
Yada yada Exam...yada yada rigorous...yeah yeah death or permanent injury by sabotage...

Can we just get this over with? It's been like 2 minutes and my feet already hurt. I need better shoes. Why did Blue chose a character with the most non-practical design again?

It wasn't long until we started running.

After about 10 minutes, I started to notice something was seriously wrong. For the first time in, well, ever I didn't feel as if my lungs were trying to strangle themselves.

What's going on? Usually I'm a sweating, sobbing couch potato on the ground by now. That's how it always ended up like in gym class, but here I'm perfectly fine.

'Isn't it obvious? That was your old body that tired out easily. You're my character now, and you're stronger than anyone!'

That made a lot more sense.
Maybe being in an OP character's body isn't such a bad idea...

"A skateboard?! That's cheating!"

I nearly tripped. I knew that voice and what this was.
Dammit. I ran way too close to them. And there's no more room to run up ahead right now.
How did I not notice?

No. I made sure that I wasn't running anywhere near them and I was on the other side of the room. There is no way in hell that I could have made it there by accident.

Unless...

'BLUE, DID YOU DO THIS?' I screamed.

'Do what?' She said, feigning innocence.

'ARE YOU TRYING TO GET ME KILLED?'

'I don't know what you mean. I'm simply giving you a small push in the right direction.'

'THIS IS A VIOLATION OF MY FREE WILL!' I shouted.

'Oh please. It's not that bad. Now go make friends and possible boyfriends!'

Someone shoot me.

I tried to run back to my spot, but the harder I ran, the most the ground seemed to be taking me back towards the direction of the main cast. I ended up just giving up on fighting it.

Please don't notice me. Please don't notice me.

I kept my head down and tried to make myself as small and far away as possible. It's really freaking hard with a bright pink outfit on, though.

Oh god, I was starting to panic. My plan of just getting this done and going away was starting to crumble even more until there was nothing left.

I don't want to be a main character. Please leave me alone.

"THIS IS AN ENDURANCE TEST!"

I sighed deeply and just let myself be dragged away by the current of my running. If this was going to be my fate for the time being, I might as well just accept it. Who knows, if I die I might go back to my life and pretend this never happened.

"CAN'T YOU TELL I'M A TEENAGER JUST LIKE YOU GUYS?"

Wait, isn't this the part where Killua shows up?
