CHAPTER 4: Hisoka X Assassination X A Long Third Exam

"Killuaaaaaaa." She called again. Now they were in the latter part of the first exam. They were in a swamp filled with carnivorous critters killing contestants off every few seconds. She was so preoccupied with Killua's stubbornness that she noticed her two other friends were left much farther behind a little too late.

She stopped her tracks, finally earning Killua's attention.

She heard gasps, but they were different from all the others. Her instincts were telling her to go to her friends, and Gon being Gon, unthinkingly did so.

"Oi, GON!" Killua exclaimed at her figure that was going back to wherever they came from.

"I have to go back. We'll just see you at the destination!" She said hurriedly and immediately ran back. Killua stopped his tracks as well, pondering whether or not to follow her.

After a moment, he decided not to follow her after all- he was too stubborn to do that, besides... he was acting like some spoiled brat just few seconds prior and they did just meet. He realized that he couldn't just go and follow her wherever she went. Besides, he felt she wouldn't be persuaded to do otherwise anyway.

He sighed in annoyance, went to follow the crowd, and simply hoped for the best.

*Several minutes later*

Gon was staring at his eyes as he held her chin and lifted her. She was never scared of him before but for some reason he was suddenly emitting such a strong presence that her body involuntarily shook. Hisoka noticed the sudden attitude of the girl towards him when he slightly let go of his Zetsu.

He smirked. This little girl was so interesting. First she showed no fear even after seeing what he did to who knows who that was. And now he allowed tiny amount of aura to overflow and she sensed it.

"You pass." Was all he said. He was playing examiner after all, and for now he didn't want the little girl to hold a grudge on him so he let her friend live as well. He saw potential on the narcissistic man, anyway. So he held him up to his shoulder and decided to carry him to the second exam center.

"Where are you taking him?" The girl asked guardedly, but Hisoka thought she was still adorable.

"To the next stop. You better hurry or you'll be late, too." He stated in his usual shrill voice. The two kids just looked at each other comprehensively and Hisoka just shrugged. He went away before them, and soon enough the two decided to follow him as well.

...

'What's taking them so long?' Killua thought as he waited at their destination. He was starting to feel anxious at the turn of events. Gon should be beside him right now- He didn't really get why he minded so much, but right now he didn't really care.

The relief he felt when he saw her unscratched was not any less unexplainable, either.

The two kids only grinned at each other.

"Yow." Killua greeted with a smirk, giving a small hint acknowledgement to Kurapika's presence.

"Yow." Gon grinned back. They then started looking around, with Kurapika, for Leorio and they saw that he was still unconscious resting his back behind the tree.
