* + italics = speech over the phone

"Kiss me too."

Y/n's POV

"Ow! Hey, get this bird brain off me!!"

It took me a second to realise that Pretzel was pecking Killua like crazy. I giggled at their antics before lifting up my hand.

"...so, are you going to or not?" He urged.

"Of course I will! It's just you seemed too cool for goodbye kisses." He 'tch'ed at my response, mumbling something under his breath.

I chuckled and held onto his shoulders, bringing myself nearer. I gave him small peck on the forehead, feeling his breath on my neck.

"Ta-da! I gave you the kiss, Killua-kun! Now, go catch up to Gon."

He turned around lazily and put a hand up, signalling goodbye.

I made my way to a nearby telephone booth. I had to tell my parents I passed, that was the deal if I wanted to become a hunter.

I felt happy and proud of myself. Now I could finally find Haruto!!! How many years has it been? I really missed him....
But there are a lot of things I must accomplish first, and one?

It's obviously to get stronger! Maybe if I beat hiso-kun, then I could prove myself and gain experience at the same time?

Yeah, that's a plan!

(A/n: at the telephone booth!)

"Lara~!"

*M-miss?!!!? When are you coming home? Did you pass? What are you doi-*

*Y/N, MY BABY! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!! YOU LEFT YOUR PHONE AND I COULDN'T CALL YOU!!!!*

I sweat dropped, placing the phone far away from my ear. I swear, the passer-byers must have thought I'm from a crazy house hold....

*M-mama, Lara, I'm fine! I actually passed the exam, you know what that means right?*

Everything went quiet...I instinctively held the phone away from my ear again.

*WHAT?!?!? YOU'RE NOT COMING HOME?!?!!!!? FINE, DON'T WORRY, I'M THE BEST FATHER IN THE WORLD SO I'LL GIVE YOU SOME MONEY OKAY?!?*

I heard sobs from the other side of the line.

"Papa, you don't have to, I'll just find wor-"

*NO!!! I WON'T STAND FOR YOUR NONSENSE!!!!!*

I sweat dropped, how many times have I been sweat dropping since this conversation?!?

"Fine..." I sighed between my sentence, "but how much are we talking?"

*Oh, don't worry hun,* this time it was my mother who answered, *it'll only be fifty million jenny! It'll last you around one week, so I'll be sure to send another load your way~*

"M-mama....that's enough to last a whole year and more....."

*Stop making such a fuss! It's just a bit of pocket money, you'll be fine! Spend as much as you want, and if you return home with ANY of it, I WILL NOT LET YOU BE A HUNTER!!!!*

I gulped, "Ahahaha! Okay, okay! I got it."

Sigh, they're good parents, but spoiling your children is a no no....it's hard to believe I'm adopted, they haven't brought it up, even though I know I am, and we all get along really well.
