The ship was going in the storm now. I was sitting against a wall in the ship. A man in front of me passed out onto the floor. The storm wasn't even that bad. If he couldn't stand something like this he didn't have what it would take to be a hunter. I was getting hungry. I wonder what did Tio Sama's wife pack.
I opened the brown paper bag to find a small canteen, a sandwich, and four small sugar cookies wrapped in plastic wrap. I took out the sandwich and canteen. The canteen had coffee, it was hot and had no milk or sugar. Exactly how I drank it. I enjoyed the bitterness of the hot drink.
The sandwich was simple, lettuce tomato and turkey. It was still delicious seeing as I hadn't eaten since yesterday. I finished it with the canteen of coffee. That was one of the most delicious things ever. Tio Sama's wife always made the best food and drink.
   I looked around. I only saw three other people still conscious. A man, a blond teenager, and the spiky haired young boy. So he was stronger than he looked. He would be something great I could tell.
   The man had black hair, and wore a suit with a black and red briefcase.
   The young boy wore a green jacket and shorts. He had a fishing rod.
   The blond boy was wearing all white except for a robe of some type. It was the type the Kurta wore. He must have been a survivor of the attack.
Who I assumed was the captain of the ship walked in. He put his hand on his forehead.
"So many people come to fail before its even started" He sighed.
He noticed me sitting alone in the corner and the trio talking.
"You four, come with me" He told us.
There was no one else he could be talking about. Only the four of us were awake. I stood up and followed him. Behind me were the man, the blond boy, and the spiky haired boy. I don't know them. This could be a test. I reached for my swords. If they attacked I would be prepared.
   We entered the helm of the ship. The captains greeted us.
"You will be the only Hunters here"
   We were all confused. Turns out who ever passed out was disqualified. Good thing Gio put me through spin training.
"Now, why do you want to become Hunters"
   Their answers were severely different.
   The man wanted money, although that all he said he wanted I could sense something different. He wanted to help people, he needed money to do so.
   The young boy wants to find his father and become a pro Hunter.
   The blond boy had a similar reason to mine, he wanted to hunt the Troupe that killed his clan. He wanted to reclaim the Kurta eyes. We were not to different. Both of our families had been killed. My clan and the Dragonflies. His clan and his mother.
"And you" The captain asked.
"I cannot say" I answered.
   I didn't like telling people about my group The Dragonflies. About Gio.
"We told ours!" The man exclaimed.
   I stayed silent. The man and the Kurta began to argue about their reasoning. I stayed quiet and listened.
"Hi I'm Gon" the young boy told me.
"Y/n" I answered.
"That's a really pretty name" He said.
   His eyes were bright. He saw the beauty in life. Just like Gio. I nodded in thanks.
"My name is Kurapika" the Kurta said.
   Looks like he got tired of arguing with the man.
"And you?" I asked the man.
"Leorio" He grumbled.
"That's a nice name" I responded.
   He blushed and looked away from me.
"Th-Thanks"
   I let myself smile. He didn't seem too bad.
   The captain told us to work outside to help the ship from the storm. During that a crew mate fell, Gon caught him, but he fell too. Leorio and Kurapika grabbed Gons ankles to help him. When I saw them begin to slip I sent a rope forward to their ankles and tugged them all back onto the ships.
  When we were all back inside I sat with them. The storm had passed and it was late now. I opened my bag. I took out the sugar cookies and handed them out.
"I wasn't a big fan of sweet things" I stated.
   Gon took a big bite. Kurapika began to eat it cautiously and so did Leorio. It was safe to eat. Soon we all finished our cookies.
"That was delicious" Gon stated.
   We talked for the rest of the night, we talked about our life before this. What we want to do. I learned that Leorio wasn't as bad as he looked. I think he was warming up to me too. I tried my best to talk. I brought up my harp.
"Can you play us something?" Gon asked.
   I nodded. I reached into my back and pulled out the small case. I took out the harp and made it grow to it's full size. I brought myself up to my knees. I leaned it's neck on shoulder. I played and old song. I closed my eyes and felt myself drift with the music. My fingers gently tapped the strings and music came out. I could hear Gio singing the gentle tune along with the harp.
As the music died away Gon started clapping.
"That was beautiful Y/n, the way you played it I feel really happy but sad" Gon said.
He had a confused look on his face.
"How do I feel both those emotions at once" He asked.
I looked a Kurapika. He had a distant look in his eyes.
"You hum when you play" Leorio said.
I hadn't realized that I was humming with it. I was too caught up in the music.
"I like it" Kurapika spoke.
"It's beautiful with a hidden sadness"
He described it perfectly.
"Thanks"
I packed up the harp and put it away. It wa stone we went to sleep.
   Kurapika held my hand quietly. He held in with no intent of romance. We held hands in a brotherhood way. We were the final survivors from our clans.
"Let's get some rest, we'll need it" I said.
The others agreed with me. I laid down and felt something on my stomach.
"Sorry" Kurapika quietly apologized.
He accidentally put his he'd on my stomach. I curled up, hugging my backpack. It'll be better in the morning.
Tomorrow my Exam truly starts
I'm Going To Be
A Hunter
———————————————————————
The ship docked in the morning and the four of us went up to the deck. We ran into the crew mate who almost fell off. He thanked us over and over. Leorio secretly enjoyed helping him. Gon was bright and happy as usual.
Kurapika pulled me aside.
"You're a survivor and member of the Deintors aren't you" He whispered.
I nodded.
"Your purple eyes are amongst the seven beautiful colors like mine" He whispered.
"Try to let them not glow, people will do horrible things to get them" He reminded me.
The captain called us over to him. He saluted the four of us. We had passed the first portion of the Pre Exam. What would come in the real exams?
We were all determined to become Hunters. Nothing will stop us. We got strange cards and were taken off the boat. I can't wait to get started.

Hey mates, this is the author here. I hope you enjoy so far. I've been working on a KurapikaXReader so when that comes out please check it. I might be skipping around some scenes due to time and my brain, but I'll try to keep the story as close to the main HunterXHuntet story plot.
Sorry for the short chapter mates
I promise you meet Hisoka in the next chapter.
Bye mates ♥️
