Chapter 33

"Well, let's get going shall we?" I asked as we finally pulled away from the hug, feeling a tinge of sadness as the warmth of the embrace slowly left me.

"Sure, we can meet up with Gon and the others on the way back." killu replied as he put his hand on his head, his signature post, as we walked alongside each other in a comfortable silence

"Where are they?" I asked, anxiety evident in my voice as I looked around, hoping to see the familiar faces of my friends. It's been a few hours since we met up and the others were still nowhere to be found.

"Im sure they will be fine," Killua replied as he gave me a side hug, trying to assure me

"I hope so." I said as I leaned into the hug, eyes darting to the forest. Hoping that they will return safely.

"Rho chan!" A familiar voice said, waking me up from a daze that I seem to have fallen into after waiting for them for such a long time. "Gon" I replied as I jumped up running to the green haired boy as I embraced him in a hug. "What happened to all of you, why do all of you have so many injuries?" concern lacing my voice.

"It's a long story, we'll tell you more about it later." kurapika replied, his voice still as calm as ever

"Sure, we need to get your injuries treated first after all."

We were finally in the airship, our next destination being the last stage of the hunter exam. "Finally" I thought to myself as I looked out at the scenery beneath me, a smile making its way onto my face as I saw the blue sky gleaming back at me. I was enjoying my time alone. Almost missing the times like this where i was alone by myself enjoying the scenery as my other companions did, whatever they had to do.

As if to interrupt the peace, at that exact moment a voice appeared exclaimed from behind me "Would you spare a bit of time to have an interview with regards to the next stage?"

"I don't mind!" I replied, already knowing who it was as I followed the chairperson into the interview room.

"Now, i was just wondering about these questions, don't worry all your answers will be confidential."

"Of course, please feel free to ask away."

"Very well, I would like to know who would you want to fight least and what your reason is."

"Gon and killua, i already feel very close with them and don't feel like fighting them if possible,perhaps, kurapika and leorio as well ."

"Okay, moving on to the next question..."

"That was some weird question. Who asks which examinee they favour or take an interest in!" I mumbled to myself, having finished the interviews. "I wonder what we'll be doing for the last stage,perhaps I should retire to my room."
