Taisiya's POV
"I am Satotz, the Phase One examiner," Satotz started as he walked in giant steps. The crowd started running behind him. Seeing Hisoka silently follow, I ran beside him. "You must follow me to Phase Two. This is the exam's First Phase."
Having already watched this scene, I knew we would be running a lot for a few hours. I was confident I could stick with the group due to the training I received from Kite and the number of times I had to keep up with Hisoka throughout our journey. Turning to the said man, I saw him smiling silently while running forward. I silently pondered whenever or not to stick with him.
On one side, I wanted to see the rest of the group I've known from the series. On the other side, I was afraid of separating with Hisoka. While sticking with him wouldn't guarantee my safety, it was better than being alone.
'To stay with the protagonist who has tons of problems thrown at him or stay with the antagonist who creates the problems?'
Just like that, 2 hours passed as I pondered on my thoughts. I wasn't sure how far we ran. There were many people who dropped out and quit. I saw Hisoka looking towards Gittarackur and silently approach him. I was about to follow when I heard a voice booming from beside me.
"Hey! Wait up, kid!" The familiar voice of Leorio shouted. I turned around and saw him glaring at Killua who was skating calmly beside him.
Finally having a clear view on Killua, I noticed that he looked completely like a normal kid. He had a childish aura around him that screamed mischief. His hair looked spikier and less fluffy than I imagined it to be. He also resembled an albino with his light-coloured hair and skin, especially from the back.

'He... reminds me of Ikki,' I thought in surprise as I stared at the white-haired boy. 'Ikki...' My mind went towards my non-biological little brother.
Prior to taking the Hunter Exam, I had dropped the phone Kite had given me from 2000 feet above the ground into the middle of a jungle in a hot air balloon. Having not recalled Kite's number, I hadn't been in contact with them for 2 months. I doubted I would be able to meet them anytime soon since up to the Greed Island Arc, there were no signs that Kite nor Ikki had even been a background character in the anime.
A small mumble was heard from Killua who barely acknowledged Leorio's call. He looked bored as he glanced at Leorio from the corner of his eyes.
"You should show the Hunter Exam some respect!" Leorio scolded the kid.
"What do you mean?" Killua asked despite looking like he already knew the answer. I snorted at his expression of obvious fake confusion. He's more mischievous than I remember.
"Why are you using a skateboard? That's cheating!" Leorio pointed at Killua's skateboard.
"Why?"
"Why? This is an endurance test!"
Seeing as I would've thought the same thing if I hadn't watched the series, I didn't blame him for thinking that way.
"No, it isn't," the sudden voice of an angel said from behind us. Turning around, I saw Gon behind us looking at Leorio and Killua. No longer listening to their conversation, I awed over the 12-year-old boy and tried to stop myself from jumping at him.
Quickly, I turned around to Hisoka. "Hisoka, he's the-" I stopped talking when I realized I was no longer next to said jester. Panicking, I suddenly stopped to look around but by the next second, I felt something crash into my back making me fall down.
A thud was heard as I half landed on the ground and half on someone else's body. Rubbing my head that had contacted the ground. I tried to stand up.
"I'm sorry, are you okay?" I asked before actually looking at who I bumped into. Looking down, my eyes widened at the familiar spiky black-green hair and brown eyes.
"Gon!" I exclaimed before I could stop myself. Instantly, I slapped my hand over my mouth, internally screaming. Gon turned to me, his eyes suddenly turning wide.
"Wow! Your eyes look really cool!" Gon stared at my eyes with a bright smile. Dumbfounded, I stood silent, not knowing what to say.
"Get up, Gon. We need to move," a voice came from my right. Turning, I saw Killua glaring at me with a suspicious look in his eyes. Oh no, I messed up. I'm going to die killed by a chocolate-loving cat.
"Oh, right! Come on!" Gon jumped up and started running, Killua following behind. Surprised, I ended up running behind them. As we caught up with the group, I decided against saying anything due to shock and embarrassment and neither did they.
After a few minutes, the shock finally wore off and I looked around in search of Hisoka. Being short, I couldn't see well through the crowd of people. Frustrated, I ran further in, searching for Hisoka.
"Are you looking for someone?" I heard Gon ask. Turning, I hadn't realize I was running beside him.
"Huh? Oh... Yeah Um...." 'Nevermind the shock is slowly coming back.'
It was hard talking to someone you had been dying to meet for years. "I'm... looking for Hisoka," I decided to say before realizing that they probably hadn't known who that was.
"You mean the clown?" Killua turned to me with a bored look on his face. I nodded at him, surprised that he knew. "He's somewhere in the front."
Nodding again, I mumbled a thank you before speeding up drastically, not wanting to piss off the assassin. Intimidation wasn't new, especially when you're around Hisoka a lot, but I felt anxious not knowing where Hisoka was. Flashing through the crowd, I found Hisoka and reached him within two seconds after leaving the duo.
Running beside Hisoka, I finally let out the breath I was holding in and silently squealed at how cute Gon is up close. Finally, done with the silent fangirling, I looked up and saw both Hisoka and Gittarackur observing me.
"Sorry, I got lost," I automatically said, taken aback by their stares. Gittarackur seemed to not care and looked front but Hisoka's smile widened and his eyes showed a somewhat knowing look.
Ignoring the male, I turned around and caught sight of Killua staring at me before snapping my head front again. The kid can really give someone goosebumps.
◇ ═ End of Chapter 11 ═ ◇
I'm guessing at least one person will comment BTS's Run because of the title at some point.
