Nallumi Zoldyck

Chapter 6

I felt myself being pulled down off of Oniisan's shoulders so I assume something finally happened. I opened my eyes to see a big gate in front of us. We were standing in the clearing of a forest. It didn't look like much of anything was around here except for the gates and whatever was inside of the walls.

I looked up at Illumi-nii with a questioning look in my eyes.

"We have arrived at the 2nd task" he replied in his weird clicky voice that didn't actually say words but I was slowly starting to understand. 

"Ah, I see," I muttered to myself.

A creaking noise made me look up as I was brushing the imaginary dirt off of my dress. The doors we were standing in front of were opening. Inside of the doors, there were two hunters. If I remember correctly the one who was a really big's name was Buhara and the skinny greenish haired lady was named Menchi. They were both Gourmet Hunters. Great at making food, but a pain to come across if you got in the way of their search for new ingredients or recipes.

"Congratulations on making it to the second phase," started the gourmet hunters continuing to talk about the phase. 

As they droned on about how you had to get a pig from the forest and cook it for the first half, I looked over the other examinees. About half of the contestants must have failed the last round. Killua's new friend Freeces was still there. As was Killua. That's good. As long as he stays in the Exam it will be easier to keep track of him. 

I looked up at Illumi- nii and asked, "Anything exciting happen while I was asleep?"

Illumi-nii shook his head minusculely. 

I sighed, "Well that's no fun."

People started running to the forest in search of a pig. 

"You might want to hurry sweetie." I heard Hisoka say in a perverted voice as he walked up from behind me. "You don't want all the pigs to be hunted before you get there."

I turned around to face him, "Mr. Joker, I doubt it will be that easy to get one of the pigs that reside in the forest." I said as innocently as possible. "I'd prefer to take me time and not mess up my dress. It's not a race."

I reached towards onii-san to get him to pick me up and put me back on his shoulders. He picked me up and started walking towards the forest where we quickly got our pigs and headed back.  

"Cook mine for me," Illumi-nii said in his weird voice. 

"Okay, but that means you have to carry me whenever I want," I said. 

I quickly cooked both the pigs and we went to hand them in. They were quickly devoured by Buhara and given a pass. Next the skinny examiner, Menchi announced that she wanted sushi.

Everyone was looking around confused trying to figure out what sushi was. Although I know how to make sushi, the whole process is pointless. She is known for being insanely picky about her food and no one here would be able to pass her standards. So I just decided to sit back and watch the show. 

Illumi-nii looked at me curiously. 

"She's not going to pass anyone. This is a pointless trial." I said in a low voice. 

People suddenly took off running towards the forest again. I assume someone blurted out the ingredients. I should pay more attention. Very few people know what sushi is. I wonder who blurted out the recipe?

Hisoka strolled over again to bother me and Illumi while everyone was running around in chaos. "Hello, my pretty little doll."

Illumi-nii's eyes narrowed as he glared at Hisoka as much as he could in his Gittarucker disguise.
