A Different World (HUNTER X HUNTER)

THE X STARTING X ADVENTURE

"Thanks everyone! I'll be the best hunter in the world!"

(Y/N) saw the long spiky haired boy wave goodbye to the people in Whale Island. While the other people on the ship snicker and laugh. (Y/N) held a rag she kinda stole from the ship to clean the metal hoops she brought with her. As the boy walked in the ship he saw one of the sailor crew get knocked down to the floor.

(Y/N)'s face soured a bit hearing the laughter that escaped their mouths, she walked over to witness the racket that disturbed the somewhat quiet atmosphere,
"How's it going Katzo!"
"Hah if you keep this is up you'll never be a proper sailor!"

The two guys said as the skinny man was on the floor, the crate he carried was knocked down, spilling the apples all over the floor. (Y/N) By instinct, jumped down and began to pick up some of the fallen apples. Things only mad (Y/N) mad as the poor sailor was kicked down. The captain came by and scolded the crew,
"Hey slackers! Get a move on!"

The two men nodded and ran off as (Y/N) placed the apples in the fallen crate, the Captain yelled,
"Are you deaf!? Move it!"
"Wait!"

The three turned their attention to the boy, holding an apple. He threw the Apple to Katzo who barely caught it,
"Thank you, you too!"

Katzo thanked (Y/N) and the boy as he awkwardly ran off to continue his job. The boy looked at (Y/N),
"Hi I'm Gon!"

He held out his hand out with a big smile, but not a weird smile like Hisoka. (Y/N) shakes his hand in a light manner,
"(Y/N)..."

She mumbled, not returning the bug smile. To Gon, (Y/N) was just a bit shy and that shy trait made her seem more smaller than she actually was, she passed Gon's shoulder,
"You must also be taking the Hunter Exam!"

Gon said in excitement, to which (Y/N) nodded. Then Gon paused and sniffed the air,
"There's a storm coming"

The Captain let out a 'huh!?', and Gon climbed higher and sniffed the air,
"And it's a really big one! Coming from over there!"

Gon yelled from the top, pointing to the direction they were going. He climed down,
"How can you tell?"

The Captain asked Gon who responded,
"I can tell by the way it smells and sea cranes up there say so"

Gon said while pointing up. The Captain made his way inside to the control room as Gon looked at (Y/N),
"Lets see if we can help!"
"Right"

(Y/N) responded to Gon as they to ran inside the boat.
.
.
.
The boat was shaking hard and even (Y/N) almost tripped. She stood by Gon who was helping a passenger who wasn't feeling well,
"Here chew up these herbs real good and you'll feel better in no time"

Gon said while handing a handful of herbs. The man weakly reached for them and mumbled,
"Water..."
"Don't worry it'll be here soon"

Gon tells him as he looks at (Y/N), who nods as goes to a man who was walking so slow. She held the cup in her hands as she tried to hurry back to Gon. She hands him the water, Gon now helped the man drink the water,
"You four!"

Gon, (Y/N), a dark haired man in glasses with a suit, and a blond boy perked there heads up as they were all called by the Captain. The Captain led them all to the control room. The four stood in a line in front of the Captain who asked,
"So what're your names?"

He asked them, to which they all responded,
"I'm Gon"
"(Y/N)"
"I am called Kurapika"
"Name's Leorio"

The captain looked at all of them with his hand resting on his chin. He then said,
"Now why do you want to be a hunter?"

To which Gon and (Y/N) respond, Gon going first,
"I want to be a hunter just like my dad!"
"I want to be a hunter to make my family at home proud"
"Hey you two! We don't have to tell him anything!"

Gon and (Y/N) looked at Leorio, who yelled at them,
"Why not? It's not a secret"

Leorio pointed at the Captain,
"Because he's not an examiner!"
"I agree with Leorio"
"It's Mr. Leorio, you brat!"

Leorio told Kurapika, but Kurapika seemed unfazed. The Captain butted in,
"Hmm you're right I'm not, I've been hired to get rid of a lot of wannabes since there's too damn many, Katzo! Call the comitte, tell them we have two more drop outs"

Kurapika and Leorio had a surprised look on their face. They both straightened up but Kurapika was first to talk after a small pause,
"I'm... The sole survivor of the Kurta clan. Four years ago a band of bandits annihilated them, and that is why I want to become a hunter. To capture the Phantom Troupe."

(Y/N) clenched the ends of her clothes and merely looked away and kept herself calm. The Captain then said,
"So you want to be a blacklist hunter, huh?"

The Captain said to Kurapika while Gon turned to Leorio and asked,
"What about you Mr. Leorio, why do you want to become a Hunter?"
"Hm isn't it obvious, I'm in it for the money! With money you can buy a nice house and a big luxury car!"

Leorio explained to the others who sighed. Kurapika then spoke up,
"With money you think you could buy some class"

Leorio was clearly offended,
"Time to end the filthy Kurta bloodline"

Kurapika was taken back with what Leorio said,
"Take that back Leorio!"

Leorio paused and turned to Kurapika who repeated himself,
"I said take it back!"
"It's Mr. Leorio"

Leorio walked out, with Kurapika following. The Captain was going to say something but Gon stopped him,
"Let them go"

Gon said while pausing for a while. Katzo looked out,
"Ahhh! I have to help the guys out there!"

He said before being by stopped by (Y/N) and Gon said,
"Anything we can help?"

Katzo nodded as he began to lead the two outside.
.
.
.
Clearly (Y/N) didn't know how to help the men pulling the rope. She told Gon,
"I don't think I'll be much help"

Gon smiled and said,
"That's okay! Here you can use this and make sure I don't fly off haha!"

He tied one of (Y/N)'s hoops on the back of his belt. She held onto him tightly, making sure that the hoop was dull before using it so no one got hurt.

The winds and waters were stong and people struggled to stay on. Unfortunately for Katzo he was basically flying, as the water began washing him off the boat.

Gon took notice and told (Y/N),
"Hold on (Y/N)!"

She barely got to process his words as he quickly ran off the boat. (Y/N) was not at all expecting to be brought overboard, and they began to fall. But two different hands prevented the three from completely emerging into the water.

Gon made sure to hold Katzo tightly as (Y/N) looked up at Kurapika and Leorio. Kurapika helped to carry (Y/N) back onto the board as Leorio helped Gon get Katzo back and make sure he was okay.
.
.
.
"Are you two stupid!? That was dangerous if it weren't for Kurapika and I"

Gon and (Y/N) had towels on their head to dry off as they got scolded by Leorio,
"And we're okay!"

Gon said in a happy tone. (Y/N) looked at Kurapika, grabbing his attention. She then said,
"Thank you"

Kurapika gave a small 'you're welcome' and then (Y/N) didn't say anything or make eye contact with the blond. Katzo thanked Gon and (Y/N) again as he waved goodbye, running off to go do whatever task he had. With that, the boat made it to it's destination.

So my dumbutt just realized how long the chapters are now going to be....

I had to cut A LOT on this chapter so I have to improve on that. Since I plan to make these chapters longer, it means I won't post daily chapters especially since I'm starting school now (💧-w-). BUT I'm determined to make this work!

And I'm so excited to see that we reached 100 reads! Gives me a serotonin bost /(^o^)/ ♡
