I walk towards Gon and them stuffing the card back in my hoodie for later. Ignoring the stares and whispers from the other examinees.

"Miss hey you made it!" Gon shouts excitedly jumping up and down, eyes sparkling. I sigh frowning at myself for telling HISOKA my name before them.

"Hey Gon my name is (y/n)," I say walking up to them. Gon nods and Killua glares looking me over assessing me. I sigh and look around noting how many made it past the first half of the first phase. I spot pink hair a little ways away in the center of the crowd. I smirk and turn back towards Gon going to speak only to be interrupted by Satotz explaining about Swindlers Swamp. I zone out and look towards the wall waiting for the 'examiner' to come out with his man faced ape.

"WAIT" "ha right on time." The 'examiner' stumbles out with his ape explaining and lying about Satotz. "blah blah blah shutup and die already," I think getting annoyed and impatient. chink, chink, chink. "Finally." I look up just in time to grab a card heading for my face and another for my stomach. "Bad move Joker." I grab one the cards and fling it back at the clown not caring if I hit someone else or not. Chink. I look at Hisoka in shock to see the card sliced his arm. I shake and look around for a place to run when im stopped short by his laugh. I look up to see him holding the card dripping blood and staring at me. I feel fear and the urge to run and know I messed up and made him mad. "Why couldn't he just catch it like a good Joker," I fume in my head. Everyone looks back from Hisoka to me expecting a fight when suddenly Hisoka talks.

"Well look at this, little (n/n) is stronger than she seems.~" "No. NO." Hisoka has done the one thing he shouldn't of. He put me in the spotlight in front of everyone. I can feel the hate and anger coming off them. I glare at Hisoka and walk up towards Satotz ignoring the people around me.

"Mr. Satotz could we move on please?" I ask quietly. Satotz merely nods and turns telling everyone to keep up with him and starts walking quickly. I look back towards Gon meaning to head back but am yanked forward by something on my wrist. I look down and see nothing reaching my hand out to feel nothing as well. I narrow my eyes knowing what it must be. "Stupid Bungee gum." I start moving "as if i have a choice." Swindler's Swamp is dark and slimy. Even the air feeling wet and dangerous. AHH. NO. HELP. Screams fill the air around me causing me to lose direction. "Should've paid attention (y/n)" I mentally scold myself. Yank. My wrist is tugged off to the side towards the last place I want to go. The clearing.

"Stupid clown no one wants you here." I look up towards the voice seeing figures in the fog knowing im close. YANK. My wrist is pulled towards the side away from the owner of the voice and into the bushes near the place where  Kurapika and Leorio showup. I stop and watch the scene before me. Yank. Yank. YANK. My wrist is pulled hard as I struggle against it not wanting in the clearing. Im jerked off balance and pulles towards the magician surrounded by men that want him dead. I trip and fall ending up at his feet deciding just to sit there and ignore him and the others. I jilt at the sound of harsh laughter and feel the fear and dread filling me once again. "Don't look up (y/n) don't do it you'll regret it," I warn myself but its useless as I feel a cold hand with sharp nails force my head up.

"Told you I'd see you soon (n/n)~" He purred.

"It's (y/n) not that stupid nickname," I growl at him yanking my head away. He merely chuckles and grabs my hair yanking me up beside him. I glare at him and slap his hand away from my hair crossing my arms and looking at the men surrounding us. The one that appears to lead them gives me a smile that sends chills down my spine. I glare at them and Hisoka feeling angrier and angrier that I'm here. I close my eyes letting the anger wash over me consuming me. When I open my eyes again the men around us are shaking and cowering from Hisoka, but when I look at him and see the look of shock on his face I realize they are cowering from ME. I grin and slide my left hand in my hoodie slipping the Joker card in my sleeve concealing it. I pull my hand out slowly and jump as the leader man lunges for me and land behind him dragging the card across the skin of his neck letting the blood flow down feeling powerful. Until I'm knocked down from a guy behind me. As soon as I feel his arms around me they're gone. I roll over looking around to see the men all dead and Hisoka stnading in the middle looking at Kurapika and Leorio. They look at me worried for a moment then back at Hisoka as he steps towards him. Kurapika whispers his plan to Leorio as Hisoka comes clsoer. Kurapika runs to his right and Leorio heads the other way to his mighty stick. "Idiot" I think to myself. Hisoka chuckles and turns towards me about to speak as Leorio returns with his 'weapon'. Hisoka grabs him by the neck distracted while Gon comes with his fishing pole. Hisoka tosses an unconscious Leorio to the side and focuses on Gon. I watch as the two vecome mere blurs making my eyes cross and my head spin trying to keep up. Hisoka grabs Gon and I watch to make sure he doesn't hurt him. Gon's face begins to turn red and a slight purple as I quickly go to stop Hisoka.

"Drop. Him. Now." I say through gritted teeth. Hisoka turns in my direction dropping Gon and coming to me. I flinch when he suddenly appears crouching in front of my face. I yelp and jump back landing on my butt. Hisoka smirks and studies me before he goes to pick up Leorio.

"I trust you can make it back on your own~" he says to Gon. Gon merely nods. Hisoka turns his piercing gaze to me making me feel exposed and small. "What about you little fruit?~" he purrs ammused. I glare back and nod as well refusing to leave Gon.

"Do I look like I belong in a tree or bush?! If not im not a fruit am I?" I grumble. Not surprisingly Hisoka heard me and he smirks. Before he can try to give me an even worse nickname I quickly cut him off. "Just call me (n/n) if you cant say (y/n)," I say hurriedly. He smirks but nods and walks off into the fog. When he is out of sight I stand up searching for my card cursing as I realize he took it back. I check my pocket hoping it is there, but only finding a single slip of paper.

~You can have the card when I can have you~♤

I growl blushing as I crumbling up the paper and decide to replace it with two of the throwing knives and the blow dart with its sharp needle like darts for now.

"What did the paper say?" Gon asks curiously. I blush furiously at a lost for a good lie.

"You'll understand when you're older," I say quickly. "Or not knowing you Gon" I think to myself smiling. "Come on lets go before we get disqualified," I say walkign in the direction Hisoka went. Gon rushes up beside me pinching his nsoe and smelling the air. "Cute little bloodhound" He heads in the direction of Leorio's cologne leading us to the craziest phase of the exam.
