The lesser or two evils

Hunter Exam: Phase 4

(Y/N) POV:

After completing the Trick Tower, I had to wait outside with Hisoka, and who I now knew was Gittarackur, until the time limit had run out. I was feeling uneasy, not because I was worried about Kill, I knew he would be able to complete the tower with no problem, but because Hisoka kept licking his lips at me, and Gittarackur kept staring at me, while his whole body shook making a chattering sound. Hanzo had come out a few minutes after we had so I decided to sit with him while we waited for everyone else.

I slid down the sand coloured brick wall next to him giving him a smile. "So did you have to fight prisoners too?" I asked just trying to make small talk to pass the time quicker. "No, I had to solve a series of puzzles." Hanzo scratched his bald head. "I can't believe the Chairman's Granddaughter had to fight prisoners to pass." he chuckled. "Yeah! He never really believed in the concept of special treatment for family." I laughed back.

Kill and his new group of friends were the last ones to clear the tower with meer seconds left. I walked towards the group with a raised eyebrow, silently questioning what had taken them so long. "(Y/N)! Thank God you're safe!" Kill exclaimed. I laughed at him but before I could speak Hanzo answered him for me.

"Safe? Kid, she was already out here when I came out, and I was the fourth person to clear the tower." Kill looked at me with a stunned expression on his cat-like face. "Kill, what took you so damn long?" I asked, ruffling his white spiky hair. Him and Goon took turns explaining their time in the tower and how Leorio had lost a gamble causing 50 hours of their time to be spent in a room.

"Please make your way to the boat, it will bring you to phase 4 of the exam." The examiner who introduced himself as Lippo called out to us. While on board the boat we all had to pick numbers at random of everyone's badges, and it was explained to us that we needed 6 points to pass this phase. Our badges were worth 3 points, and our target's bag was worth 3 points. Everyone else was worth one point.

We would be spending a week on this island, which would mean, I had to somehow get 6 points, and stay alive that long, while keeping my badge completely safe and secure. Gon, had unfortunately grabbed badge number 44, which was Hisoka's badge number. I knew Gon was smart and would figure out a way to get it. I got badge number 17, while Kill had grabbed one of the three brothers numbers.

My target was a short buff man, with overly jelled black hair. Lippo said to get the badges at all cost, and that it would be easier to grab a badge off of a dead body. I felt kind of bad for my target, knowing that I would have to kill him to get my badge, but I felt worse for whoever had me as a target. I wonder who the unlucky poor bastard who got stuck looking for my badge number. My voodoo Nen was constantly in use as a protection shield, the only time I shut it down was when Kikyo and Milluki were "punishing me" for fear that they would retaliate on Kill instead.

I was second to get off of the boat and I ran straight towards where I heard the stream flowing. I could feel peoples eyes following me, probably wondering why I wasn't hiding among the tree tops, Fresh water, and there would always be animals around a water source. If I could find an animal, to aid me in getting my badge, and then to help protect me I saw it as a win win. I would also be sure to get an animal to keep an eye on Kill for me, and only interfere if he would be in serious danger.

I could sense all the animals within a 7 mile radius of me. Deer, grizzly bears, different types of birds, snakes, skunks, and wolves. I sat down on a large rock in front of the stream. I closed my eyes, and cleared my mind so that I could concentrate on the wolf aura, and the aura of a grizzly bear. I opened them back up when I heard the bushes rustle and saw the 2 animals I had summoned to me. In my mind, I pictured Kills image, and gave the bear its instructions. "Thank you" I bowed at the bear, then sent it on its way.
