Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 8

Angel's POV

Examiner Minchi explained what kind of eggs we were getting and demonstrated how to get the eggs too. Several participants seemed hesitant to jump over the ledge but I was excited for it. "And because number 45 passed the last cooking challenge, she doesn't have to-"

"I have been waiting for something like this!" Gon and I exclaim in unison as all five of us jump into the ravine. Shortly after, several other people followed but the task wasn't going to be as simple as we hoped it would be. A few people didn't wait long enough for the updraft and ended up falling to their deaths.

"Gon can we go yet?" Killua asked his friend.

I could feel the webs give in under all of the extra weight. "Here. I'll relieve some of the pressure." I yelled as I let go of the web.

"No! Angel!" Each of the guys tried to grab me before I fell out of range but they couldn't.

"Don't worry!" I grabbed an egg as I fell but while I did that I shot a strand of my hair out to the ledge of the cliff and swung myself up, zooming passed the other participants and landing safely on the ground above. "Woah! That was a close one!" I giggled but the chairman and examiner looked shocked. "What is it?"

"How did you get back up here?" Minchi asked astonished.

"Skills I guess." I had to use my hair during this round. Something I know Hisoka will glare at me for. I promised not to use my hair for the exam because it's a dead giveaway as to who I actually am and he told me he doesn't want me to get captured and die before he gets to chance to fight me for real. I looked at my hair and noticed that a strand of it now didn't have any dye on it. The dye probably came off when I stretched my hair. Crap.

"Angel that was awesome!" Exclaimed Killua. He's such a cute little kid, especially when he's running around with Gon.

"Oh it was nothing." I giggle, completely aware of the pissed Hisoka a few meters away.

Leorio's POV

'What was that?' I thought to myself after we were safe on solid ground. 'Was there really a tattoo on Angel's shoulder?'

I noticed when we jumped over the ledge that her short shirt flew up a little and exposed her upper back. It looked like it was a spider tattoo but I could be wrong. I decided that I would ask her about it later.

Angel's POV

The rest and the applicants got back on the airship and were told that we could do whatever we wanted until 8 the next morning.

'I'm dying for a shower.' I started walking to the washroom when I was stopped by Hisoka.

"Oh... hey." I said timidly, knowing I'm about to dig an early grave.

"Really. That's all you're going to say?" To any other person, Hisoka would sound the way he always does but I knew better.

"I'm sorry okay. The web was going to break and I didn't know what-"

"Honestly I don't care about that right now."

"Huh?"

"If you want to help get yourself caught then do what you want but," he paused. "I suggest that if you want to keep the fact that you're a member of the phantom troupe a secret, then you should pay more attention to your shirt and make sure it doesn't come up."

It took me a moment to process what he was saying until it finally hit me and my eyes widened. "How many people saw?"

"I don't think anyone did. You were lucky this time." He threw me a bag with a box of red hair dye and a case of contacts. "Take that for now. I guess I'll punish you if you mess up again." He was gone soon after he spoke.
