Raining Fire Chrollo X OC Nami

Star Chef

   Nami had brought her pig back and started her cooking. She was one of the first applicants to return and start. So she had time to herself to be at peace and cook.
She saw Gon and Killua come back making Nami extremely happy. At this point she wanted nothing more but to see the boys succeed. Her phone had also rung a bunch of times with the troupe members calling her. Dammit Hisoka.
This time her phone rang again. Her semi tan hand grabbed the small device from her pocket and answered the call without even seeing who it was.
"Yes." She said numbly as her shoulder was keeping her phone up. Her hands were busy preparing the dish. Nami heard a sigh of relief from the caller. She could also tell that it was Chrollo. Not who she wanted to talk to but she didn't want to talk to any of them.
"Nami! What happened!? Hisoka called but never told us what happened to you." He kept going on and on and it was boring to pieces. So she cut him off mid sentence.
"Honestly Chrollo, I'm fine really." Nami mumbled into the phone. In the background she heard what sounded like a door opening. Then she heard Phink's voice.
"Are you off the phone with Nami yet Danchou? Did you tell her the real reason why were kept her?" He asked. Nami froze on the other end of the line. Had she heard him right. There was a specific reason the troupe kept her? Not because she was Feitan's sister. Not out of pity or the goodness of their hearts.
"What did he say?" Nami asked slowly. She heard Chrollo take a deep breath.
"Nami it was nothing. It's not important." He stated plainly.
"It's nothing?" Nami asked as calm as possible. Chrollo knew this was the calmness before the storm. And he prepared himself for the full force.
"Because I just thought that one of my best friends said that I was kept for a specific reason. Tell me Lucilfer!" She yelled into the receiver. Chrollo on the other end cringed and hit Phinks upside the head. Hard.
"You have to tell her it was for her pwmmf." Phinks was mumbling but Nami couldn't here what he said because Chrollo hit him again.
"Lolo." Nami said again. This time her voice was soft. It almost sounded laced with fear. Chrollo's heart broke she sounded scared. Well to her she could be finding out that the only family she has ever know kept her to use her powers. But Chrollo didn't want to say anything to her about that. For as long as he possibly could.
"Nami. I promise you it is nothing. You'll learn soon enough. I promise." Chrollo responded. Nami sighed and hung up the phone. Not even giving him a chance to reply. She was so caught up in the call that she accidentally put her hand onto the stove.
Nami yelped in pain and pulled her hand back immediately. Shaking her hand she actually laughed out loud. Well that's what she gets for not paying attention.
The rest of the time she spent cooking Nami watched the other applicants come back and she thought of what Phinks might have said. Hisoka would know but there was no way in hell Nami was asking him for anything.
Finally it was time for everyone to present their dishes. Menchi has failed ever applicant so far. But of course Buhara inhaled everything and would burp a pass. Nami did feel kinda bad when Gon and the boys all failed. She knew they at least tried hard and put much effort into it.
Menchi had called for her to go up. Nami cut the pig and ended up grilling small pieces. In the end she added some sauce and spices. Nami left some of the pig so she could stuff it with food she had also found in the forest. In the end Nami brought up two plates for each judge. Thankfully she was used to carrying so many plates at once with all the pigs back home. So her skills came in handy.
Nami gently placed all four plates onto the table and stepped back. The food was hot and the scents coming off of it could be smelt by every applicant. She even heard some stomachs growl.
Menchi carefully inspected the food. Poking and prodding it with a fork. Buhara swallowed it all in one gulp. Slamming his hands on the table with a big smile. Giving Menchi enough reason to try it.
In her pocket Nami felt her phone ring again. She declined it immediately. Menchi had finally taken a bite. She slowly chewed and swallowed. With a deep breath her criticism finally came out.
"Child for someone as young as you look you obviously know how to cook fairly well. You pass." She announced. Nami's smile grew huge and she jumped up and down. Of course all the men were furious and said some nasty remarks. Nami turned and glared at the causing them all to shut up.
Nobody else passed so everyone was confused on what was going to happen. Everyone's patience had run thin and some of the applicants were starting to complain. Nami didn't care to hear it. It wasn't directed towards her and she knew Menchi could take care of herself. Nami was proven right when she heard Menchi threaten you shove her foot up Hanzo's ass. Nami could see that even Hisoka was ready to throw a card to kill the examiner.
   Before any of that could happen a loud voice came from above. All the applicants looked up into the air.
   "Well, that said it seems a bit excessive to fail every single applicant." A voice called from the air ship. Everyone could clearly see the hunter association logo on the side of the blimp.
   A man had jumped down from the side landing with a great thud.
   'So this was chairman Netero.' Nami thought looking at the old man before her. She even noticed his shoes were wooden blocks he was balancing on.
   He had came down to scold Menchi. And find a solution to let the applicants retake the second exam. Nami zoned out and let the chairman talk. She ended up mindlessly following everyone to the airship and eventually a big gorge. The applicants had to make boiled eggs.
Everyone ended up jumping into the pit to retrieve the eggs. Well not everyone. Some of the applicants chickened out.
"Pussies" Nami mumbled to the men as she passed them with her egg. They glared at her but there was nothing they could do. She passed and they didn't. Nami bit into her egg and amazing flavor swirled through her mouth. It was definitely worth it. She wished she could share this moment with someone else but Nami had shut Hisoka out and there was no one else she was close with.
Everyone made their way back to the airship and they took off. On their way to the third phase.
