The sound of the intercom turning on distracts me from my attempt at braiding my hair. "Excuse me, Sorry for the long wait. We will soon be arriving at our destination." Finally...I move to look out the window. Wow...that's a rather large tower. Is that phase ones location? The tower appears to be made out of stone.Perhaps we need to climb to the top? Or go from the top to the bottom? While it would make sense to climb the tower, this exam doesn't seem to make any sense what so ever. Also to take into consideration there appears to be no way down the tower, or up for that matter. Maybe we have to get inside?

A knock at the door gets my attention. The door opens, and in walks Kurapika. "Hey we plan on getting off soon. You should probably get your wig on."-I nod-"...Are you okay?" I look at Kurapika. I raise an eyebrow, why does he look so concerned? "Yeah why wouldn't I be?" All Kurapika does is shrug then rub the back of his head. "Well I don't know, I just figured you would still be troubled about what happened with Killua and all..."Oh that. I place a hand to my face and run it through my hair.

"Yeah I guess I am a bit, annoyed by it. I have a feeling though he'll be around because of Gon. So I suppose I'll just have to deal with it." I shrug at the end. Kurapika stares at me for a moment before shaking his head. "Alright if you say so. Anyway are you going to come with us?" I pick up my wig. "Just who would this 'us' include?" Kurapika looks up a bit as if thinking. "Well myself, Leorio, Gon, and Killua." By now I already have my wig on. Killua..."Yeah I'm going to find Raina and join her for a bit. I'll catch up with you guys later!" Quickly I grab my bag and run pass Kurapika.

Let's see...the last time I saw Raina was in that training room which was down this hallway? I think. Well maybe it wasn't this way, I don't remember for sure. I look left then right. Then I repeat the process. Yeah I have no idea where I'm going.

I feel a hand grab mine and pull me. "AH!" I flail my arms around. The person stops dragging me. "Hey relax it's just me." I look and see Kurapika. I sigh. "Don't scare me like that!" I lightly punch his arm with my free hand. He laughs a bit. "Sorry sorry. I was just checking on you to see if you knew where you were going. From where I was standing you looked pretty lost." He finished with a smirk.

Is he trying to challenge me? "Nonsense I totally knew where I was going." I feel a slight pout form on my lips as I turn and look the other way.

I hear Kurapika make a hum noise. The kind that people make when doubting someone. "Oh yeah?" He walks over to look at me.

I look him in the eyes and nod. "Yeah. You bet, of course I know where to go." Kurapika raises a questioning eyebrow and has a confident smirk.

Slowly tilting his head he speaks again. "Okay then, you lead the way." He stands to the left of me and waits for me to begin walking.

Great. I'm totally screwed. I breath in then out. No time like the present.slowly I begin walking to the left, lightly pulling Kurapika along. I turn to look at him. He doesn't have such a confident smirk anymore so I believe I went the right way. I refuse to lose this challenge. Luckily this particular hall is quite large so I don't have to worry about making a turn anytime soon. Kurapika still follows behind me, well not like he has a choice since our fingers our still intertwined. God my hand must be sweaty.

Oh another fork in the road- or hallway. I think I'll turn right. I hear Kurpika snort. "What?" I ask him. He smiles at me then shakes his head. "It's another left turn. Come on I'll lead the rest of the way." I groan as he pulls me the opposite direction. "Dang it! I thought I could fool you..." Kurapika laughs.

"Well I guess you can't."

"Shut up."

"Mm-kay."
