The four friends sat in the sofa in silence, not one of them daring to strike up a conversation. Especially Kallumi.

"Gon! Stop it!" Kallumi was getting irritated already, she looked at Gon with a calm look, but all of them could clearly see the madness in her eyes. She just couldn't stand it. How can he let someone torture him just to save someone he doesn't know that much yet?!

Gon looked at his back and smiled at Kallumi, completely aware of the glare she was giving him, "D-Don't worry, I can do this."

Kallumi just scoff in response before standing beside Kurapika and Leorio, letting Gon do his thing. As Gon continued walking the line and getting punched all day, the two older boys looked at each other then at Kallumi.

They were quite suspicious and concerned for her. They thought she was either concerned at Gon for his own good, or she just doesn't want to let them save Killua. Not after the incident that just happened at the hunter exam.

And as the time flies away, Kallumi was getting irritated little by little. She was known to be a very calm and collected person to some people, but right now, she was losing her patience already.

Gon was pretty beatened up and Kallumi could clearly see how Canary was stressing. Beads of sweat falling down her chin down unto the ground as she gripped her staff tightly.

"D-Don't come any closer!" The apprentice butler exclaimed as she backed away slightly from her own post. As Gon stepped on the line, Canary can't do anything but punch Gon with her staff as she closed her eyes tightly. "Don't you know how very dangerous this is?!"

Canary looked at the three of us before looking directly at me, "Aren't you guys his friends, why are you not taking him away?!"

Kallumi thought this was the time to take Gon away from going to the post, so she walked towards Gon before two pairs of arms from each sides gripped her her arms softly.

She looked at both of her sides to see an expressionless Kurapika and Leorio. They trusted the young boy too much...

"Tch" Kallumi looked down staright to the ground, not daring to move an inch as Gon did he's speech.

As he did, the two boys looked at their Mannequin-like female friend in sadness, did Gon did something that trigger her?

"Why don't you trust Gon?" Kurapika softly said, softly caressing the young girl's wrist. But Kallumi didn't say anything.

"Aren't you his frie-"

"He's not my friend..." Kallumi said with complete venom in her voice, she didn't lie. She didn't treat any of them as her friends. Gon was just too naive for his own good. "Not even you two..."

This caused the two boys to stop. Not one of the two speaking. They're mouths where tight shut and they're eyes were wide as soucers. Kallumi didn't care about it and just roughly took her arm from their grip.

"Always remember that when you see me."

As the butlers gave Gon an around of applause, the main door behind Gotoh opened, "Gotoh, is Gon here yet?"

It was killua. Kallumi didn't have to look to know it was him, so she just stayed still on the sofa and waited.

"Killua!" Gon exclaimed, happiness radiating in his voice as Killua approached Gon with a smile.

As they talked, Killua looked at Kurapika and Leorio to pronounce their names, he's eyes then averted to Kallumi. Killua had a regretful expression plastered on his face for a second before he held it back and smiled at Kallumi's back, "F/n? Right?"

Kallumi just looked at him for a second before nodding causing Killua to nod back. And as a few minutes passed by, they were finally going to leave the manor. Taking they're bags, they fled outside, leaving Kallumi with the three as Gon was still inside the butler's mansion.

It was an agonizing silence. Again, none of them talking. Kallumi floated far away from the three, trying to be quiet as possible. Killua looked at Kallumi with concern, he noticed she had been off ever since she saw her on the sofa. The two boys had also told him about what happened at the post and he felt even guiltier. Was it because of him? 

Slowly creeping beside Kallumi, he rested his hands in his pockets and sighed, "About the incident at hunter exam..." He looked at Kallumi, "Were you mad at me?"

Kallumi didn't say anything, her hand gripping the hem of her skirt as she pursed her lips and shook her head as a 'no' 

This caused him to sighed in relief, but soon turned into shock as Kallumi went passed him before saying.

"But don't ever talk to me..." 

H U N T E R P E D I A

⇾ Kallumi has a habit of acting mute and sitting still if she's annoyed, almost like a mannequin doll.

⇾ She was slightly happy when Killua remembered her fake name.

⇾ Kallumi knew about Gotoh's coin game, but chose the wrong hand so Gon can win.
