The next day, Gon and I went to the port. The ship that would take us to the cite was leaving soon. I hid in his backpack so that we could enter the ship. Through the backpack zipper I could see Gon smile and waving to Milo.
"I'll see you soon." Gon yelled as the ship left the port.
"Take care of yourselves." She yelled back.
I smiled and hopped out of the bag. Gon and I sniffed the air.
"There's a storm coming, mister." Gon said.
"Its just clear skies. Go down below deck and rest before the exam."
"Ok." He said as he picked me up.
We went downstairs to see everyone with seasickness. I hopped out of his arms and I fetched a bucket of water. He smiled and we started tending to the sick. I noticed that only 3 other people were not seasick. This guy in a hamock, reading, this guy sitting eating a apple, and the cabin boy. He came over and helped us take care of the sick, too. The captian came in and called the people in. I followed them and sat at attention like everyone else.
"What are all of your names?" The captain asked.
"Leorio." The tall man in the businesses suit said.
"Kurapika." The blond haired boy with grey eyes and a cover up with a cross on it said.
"I'm Gon and this is Kikumi. Say hi, Kikumi." I yip a hello and everyone laughs.
"Now, tell me why you want to take the exam." The caption said.
Leorio complains about something and Kurapika doesn't answer. I start yipping, telling my story in fox, but no one listened to me. Gon picked me up and said
"I'm going to the hunter exam to look for my father and Kikumi came with me." I yipped my approval in this plan because no one can understand me.
"If you don't answer, you will fail the beginning test." The captain warned.
"What?!" Leorio and Kurapika say in disbelief.
"You heard me, now spill. Why are you taking the exam?!" He yelled.
I flew out if Gon's arms and hid under a chair. Gon coaxed me out from under the chair. I was a bit shaken by his lould voice. Kurapika sighed and said
"I'm looking for scarlet eyes to gain. That is all I wish to say."
"All I want is the money, so that I can become a doctor." Leorio shouted.
I got scared and I almost went under the chair, but I stayed in Gon's arms. Leorio yelled at Kurapika and they took the fight outside. The storm finally hit and Gon helped the cabin boy get ready.
Suddenly, a huge wave knocked me and the cabin boy off of our feet. I was flying out into the water, when the cabin boy caught me mid-air, but he was still falling.
I wiggled under to his armpit and saw that Kurapika and Leorio tried to grab his ankles, but missed. Then Gon jumped off the boat and caught the cabin boy. Kurapika and Leorio grabbed his ankles and they saved Gon and the cabin boy, who was holding me. When they got him back on board, he lifted his arms to see that I was curled up in his arms. I looked at the cabin boy, thankfully, and I jumped into Gon's arms and he held me tight.
"Kikumi, don't scare me like that." I nodded and he hugged me tighter.
Leorio came over and yelled "Gon! What were you thinking? You would be shark bait right now if me and Kurapika hadn't caught you."
"But you guys did catch me and you saved Kikumi. Thank you Leorio, Kurapika." Gon said, with gratitude in his eyes. Leorio smiled and Kurapika's eyes softened, just a little.
I wanted to thank them too, so I brushed my tail against each of their legs. Leorio grinned and picked me up while Kurapika petted me.
