BUTTERFLIES - READER INSERT

08. Muddy Waters x A Fake Examiner

                YOU HUFF AS YOU JUMP OVER ANOTHER LOG, you hate all these logs, but you hate the mud even worse. It's too hard to run in and it's super annoying, but you'll persevere no matter what.

"[Name]!" Gon calls out, waving his hands around with a big grin on his face, "Killua said we should get to the front. You come along too, Kurapika, Leorio!" Gon yells out as you wave him off.

"The fog is too thick Gon, go on without us!" you yell out, grabbing Leorio and Kurapika's hands as you move them out of the way of something flying at the three of you, as you hear screams from the back, making the two males run along with you as Leorio huffs.

"Man! All those screams! It's major chaos out there!" Leorio says as Kurapika nods.

"The group in the back must've gotten lost. They're being picked off," he states as you shove the briefcase into your brother's chest.

"And you almost lost this, you big ol' dummy! You would have been useless without all of this, wouldn't ya!?" you scream at him as Kurapika lets out a nervous chuckle at your annoyance with your older brother. "What in the world would you do without me!? Do you ever think about that!" you scold, [H/color] brows furrowed in annoyance as Leorio held up his hands.

"I'm sorry, [Name]! Really! I am!" he swears as another card flies past you, you grab your brother's briefcase and hold it in front of the two of you, hissing as a card hits you right in the arm.

Leorio's eyes go wide as he looks up at Hisoka with a nasty glare in his dark brown eyes. "Bastard, what're you doin'!?" he yells out and you want to make fun of him for letting that country dialect come out, but you can't speak as Hisoka lets out an eery chuckle, shuffling the cards from one hand to another.

"Playing examiner," he says, his beady eyes looking at you as his smile gets even creepier, as your eyes look around to the dead bodies surrounding you and you can feel anger spike in your chest once again.

"So that's an excuse to kill?" you ask, ripping the card out of your arm as you throw it back at him, watching as it grazes his cheek and you want to wipe that stupid smirk off his stupid face.

"[Name]," Kurapika says, his hand on your shoulder, "calm down, and don't irritate your wound," he says, but you know he's telling you to not get overwhelmingly upset, but how could you not! This sicko clown just attacked your family and friends! Not to mention that he just killed about thirty-something other participants who were minding their own business. Who wouldn't be upset over that?

"Heh, heh, heh... I meant to hold off until the second phase, but this first phase is unutterably boring." he says in an amused voice, showing off the jokers card to you and your friends, "so I thought I'd assist in the selection process and just your acceptability." he says, his eyes not looking away from you as other participants glare at him.

"Judge us? You?" one asks and you didn't know if he was going to cry or laugh. "Idiot! We've lost the examiner in this mist! We have no idea what way he and those who went with him went! Which means everyone here has failed! That includes you!" he says, pointing his hand at Hisoka as the clown throws a card behind him sticks into his forehead, and blood splatters all over.

"Quite wrong," he says, tearing his eyes from you to see the man who's dying on the grassy field. "Yes, you've failed, but I haven't," he says, a smirk forming on his face and you wonder if this is yours and your friends' chance to escape as he's busy fighting the other applicants, both words and with weapons.

Before you can tell your friends your idea you watch as it only takes three swift motions to kill the mob that had formed, one card cut at least twenty men's throats. You could hear Leorio's gasp and you had to agree, what kind of monster was let into the hunter's exam?
