The Fog and The Red Rain [A HunterxHunter fan fic]

Seven Heavenly Virtues

Much sneering and explaining later, the child was in fact a boy, twelve, and already a hunter.

He refused to answer the rest of my questions until we got off the ship and Gon also suddenly came out to be a Pro hunter himself.

"Oh what the hell." I burst, running my hand down my face in annoyance over the roaring of the now upset Exam takers because they didn't want to believe a kid was the Navigator.

Gon merely laughed, apologized, and began to explain that the forest behind him, as pretty as it looked with the sun high above it-was known as Greed leaves swamp.

After the initial shock and several of the test takers coming at Gon, they had merely been pushed back several feet into the people behind them, no matter how big or how angry.

"Ah, sorry! But its really rude to just throw yourself at people, you know? Now that all that is out of the way, let's get on with the Exam! First things first. This is a dangerous test of endurance and stamina, people can die right in front of you....so please, turn back to the boat if you're even slightly unsure." Gon warned, his eyes draping over us as he rocked on the back of his heels with his arms behind his back.

After a few moments of me, Killua, and the boy with the knife looking around from the front, about ten people grudgingly walked back to shore. I clicked my tongue and shook my head, kicking up a patch of grass with the toe of my shoe.

"Is that everyone? This is serious stuff, Exam takers. Speaking of which, everyone under sixteen years of age that is NOT a hunter already, must please step to the clearing on your left!" He shouted, motioning over to his right.

I walked over, surprised Killua and the boy were already over there, looking quite bored. I realized, in horrid dismay, I was the only one who stepped forward.

"Oh wow! Good luck, Sienna! Don't take too long!" Gon calls behind me. I nod.

"So...what's this about?" I ask, knowing already. The physical evaluation. I remove my coat, setting it to the side and pick up only one katana, still in its sheath.

The boys intense cat-like eyes dart over to me from his view of a birds nest, and suddenly flips a coin at me.

I catch it, glancing between Killua and the boy then behind me to Gon who's leading everyone through the swamp already.

"Evaluation. I'm sure you already know, or are you that dimwitted, fox face?" It, the boy remarks and I frown. But my eyes widen in realization. He...
Did he just..
Fox.
He knows.
HE BLOODY KNOWS.

"Shut up already. Heads." Killua yawns, and the boy laughs.

"Tails."

I stare at them, rage boiling down and I try to turn the gears in my brain a little faster so I can weasel information out of him. I look at the coin after I flip it onto the back of my hand, its heads.

"Tails. We're fighting, aren't we? Then let's make a bet. If I win, my conditions are a detour through the forest, and all information you have on me." I growl. Yes, bingo. I won't lose.

He froze, realizing his mistake and Killua whistles as he steps back. "That's what happens when you spill the beans." He hummed.

Ah, so they all knew. Does Gon know, too?

I crack my knuckles and sigh. He looks over at me, his eyes wide but with a thin smile on his face. His hair almost covers the sun and he speaks ever so softly.
