[Gon X Reader] - Enchanting

Chapter One: Fate? Friend? Foe?

A/N: in this story, the characters have been slightly aged. Gon and Killua are 16, as is (y/n).

[Y/N]
My eyes skimmed over the other contestants, scouting out the ones who looked the strongest, fastest, healthiest. Eyes can see a lot, but they can't see what's, in my opinion, most important, the abilities of a person. You should never underestimate the capabilities of a person.

I stand up, shoving and pushing my way through the crowd, when the elevator doors ding open. I watch Tonpa carry his juice to two young men, and one who appears to be their father.

I begin making my way towards them, but a sharp noise catches my attention, a scream of pain. My head whips around, and I see a clown looking man, standing over another, who currently has no arms. The spectacle doesn't last too long, most people used to the violence that comes with the Hunter's Exam.

I continue my current quest, reaching the boys in time to see Tonpa rapidly apologizing, before scurrying away. The youngest of the three turns to look at me, the others following suit.

"Hey, I'm (Y/N)." I offer a smile and a hand.

The green haired boy takes it, grinning wide.

"I'm Gon! This is Kurapika and Leorio, how long have you been here?"

"About an hour, but it's my second year trying to pass." I offer a weak smile, the feeling of disappointment from failing last year coming back to me.

Kurapika cuts in the conversation, "I'm sorry, but do you have any idea what we can expect?"

I shake my head, "Unfortunately, the association changes the exam each year, so I don't know what challenges will be up again."

Leorio sighs, a frown falling onto his face.

"Great, the girl is no use. Let's find someone helpful before the exam actually starts-"

He's cut off by the examiner, who begins gathering everyones attention. He begins by introducing himself, and welcoming everyone to the Exam. He says the exam will start momentarily, before turning and beginning to run down an open tunnel.

Two hours have passed since the exam started. I decided to join Gon and the others, and ran by them. Leorio complained every once in a while, but was shot down by Kurapika and Gon for being rude.

I feel the ache in my legs, and beads of sweat drip down my head. I look to the side of me, and catch Gon staring at me.

"So (Y/N), where are you from? Why are you taking this Exam?"

"I'm from the Island of Mehucah, which means purity in my native language." I only answer one question, the other staying in the back of my mind.

Gon nods, before responding, "I'm from Whale Island!"

He continues on, talking about wanting to meet his father, but he's cut off by Leorio's shrieks of anger. A taller, white-haired boy rides past him on a skateboard.

"You've got to be kidding. This is a mockery of the Exam!" Leorio rages, staring daggers at the kid.

Gon jumps in, immediately defending him.

"The examiner told us to follow him, but not how to follow him."

Hearing this, the mysterious boy turns around to stare, jumps off his skateboard, and begins running next to us.

"Names Killua, you?"
