The exam went on. The 26 candidates that were still in were brought to an island. On the boat I chose a place with the most possible distance to Gittarackur. Just like fortune was on my side two of the guys in the last group arriving were nearly around. And like greater fortune was with me the young green haired boy started talking to me.

"Don't you die of heat in that long cloak?", he asked. It seems to really confuse him. How amusing. I laughed. "I'm just like always cold." It was a straight lie, but I would never tell a complete stranger, no matter how young and innocent, that I need my cloak to hide my true nature. There were two furry black ears growing out of my head and a tail on my back. It could have terrible consequences if anyone get to know I'm a neko. My kind was made in laboratory's and hold as slaves by rich people. It was just a lucky coincidence that I was free now.

"My name is Gon. And this is Killua.", he pointed at the white haired boy behind him. So I guess I should introduce myself too. "I'm Rinji. Nice to meet you.", I smiled friendly. "Nice to meet you too.", Gons face just shined like the personificated sun. For one moment I felt bad that I only wanted to use him to get information. "What have you to do with Hisoka? He seemed quite happy that you all passed the exam in the trick tower.", I asked interested. Gon shaked with his shoulders. "I'm not really sure about it. I guess he sees some potential in us.", he answered. Killua just breathed in to interrupt him. I raised a hand.

"I will also answer your question if you got one.", I said. The white haired kid seems to be way more experienced in talking to strangers and potential opponents than his comrade. I guess I liked those two. Killua stand up and came to me and Gon. "So then, why are you asking about Hisoka?", he asked. "I had a nice conversation with him earlier and like you know he is quite mysterious." My lips changed into a smile. Killua nodded.

Meanwhile Gon woke up from his thoughts. "Is one of us your target?", he asked in a so damn innocent mood that, for a moment, I wished to adopt him. "No.", I answered and showed my number to the boys. Gon breathed gratefully out. "I'm glad.", he said happily. Also Killua seemed a little more relaxed. "Why don't you ask us, who our targets are?", Killua asked interested. "Because it does not matter for me. If you attack me, I will counter." I pointed at the sword on my hips. Killua nodded but it was like I could hear his thoughts. He's holding me for stupid. I'm not. Unlike him I'm able to use nen. And my hatsu is nothing that should be underestimated. If I would use my technique on him he would be disabled for the rest of his life.

The rest if the trip we had pretty much fun. Gon, Killua and I told each other jokes and funny stories or made grimaces. I wasn't that happy for years. So during this trip I decided to make friends with Gon and Killua.
