Itsuki woke up in Kurapika's arms, feeling refreshed.
"Morning," Kurapika spoke softly.
"Morning Kurapika-san!" Itsuki greeted back, jumping to her feet.
"Quit the honorifics, just call me Kurapika."

Kurapika didn't know where Itsuki got a stone-made bowl as she scooped some water from the lake and placed it on top of the fire she made. " Hold on Kurapika, I'm making breakfast for us."
"You sure you can manage?" Kurapika questioned as Itsuki threw a few of the fruits she found yesterday into the boiling bowl.
"Yup," she said reassuringly as she grabbed a nearby dandelion and also dropped them into the bowl. " Don't worry, I've seen people do this in adverts." Itsuki then starts mixing the solution with a stick.
"They... put dandelions in soups?" Kurapika asked, careful not to show his doubts.
"Well no, the materials can be replaced though right? We'll just have to improvise." Itsuki said rather confidently, as if she was a professional chef. Itsuki then scattered around from bushes to bushes, eventually coming back with a mushroom in hand. Kurapika observed the mushroom worriedly, it had a bright purple appearance adorned with light green spots. "Itsuki... I'm not sure if that's edible, it looks.....poisonous." Kurapika said hesitantly in the nicest way possible.
"Really?! Sorry... I don't really have the concept of poisonous stuff," Itsuki said in embarrassment.
"Don't worry, it's reasonable if you never had to worry about being poisoned when you're naturally immune to them." Kurapika reassured her as she smiled sheepishly.
At this point, the 'soup' was turning a vibrant colour of dark green, emitting green steams.
Itsuki munched on the mushroom out of hunger as she continued adding bits into the 'soup'.
As she was mixing, a red butterfly distracted her, flapping its glamorous wings. It was all fun and games until the dainty little butterfly flew into the emitting gas of the 'soup', its body went rigid and fell to its death.
Itsuki let out a nasty shock, She froze on the spot.
It was one thing that she murdered this butterfly and it was another thing that the butterfly was disgusted to death by her cooking.
She slouched onto the floor, not wanting to move.
Suddenly, two bolting arrow shot to their direction, aiming at Kurapika and Itsuki. Kurapika reacted just before the arrow pierced through his body, but weren't fast enough as the arrow sliced his shoulders.
Same goes for Itsuki, she managed to escape the arrow from giving her a critical hit but was sliced on her right cheek.
An imperious laugh blasts off, the ambusher showed himself. "Hmmm~ aren't you fast," The man chortled.
Kurapika stood in front of Itsuki, stretching his arms in front of her protectively. She frowned, she didnt sense the man's presence.
"Mind if you lend me your badge, 401?" The man demanded more than asked.
Itsuki laughed, "Try to get it yourself." Her eyes darkened.
Suddenly, Kurapika collapsed in front of her, paralysed.
"Kurapika!" Itsuki shouted, lowering down to him.
The man smirked. "Hemlock... a drop of them could paralyse a full grown man for a whole week... smeared on my arrows. Isn't that a marvellous idea?" He inches towards the pair smugly as Itsuki also collapsed.
He stood beside Itsuki and bent down. "How unfortunate for you my dear... so very unlucky to be my target." He picked up Itsuki's badge cockily. "Sorry sweetheart~ seems like you'll have to restart the exam next year." He breaks into a set of laughter.
Itsuki peered to her side, remembering her 'soup'. With a fling in the arm, she threw the bowl of 'soup' right in his face. He fell on his back with a thud.
Itsuki jumped up, snickering. Could his attacking method get anymore cliché and boring? Where did he even get his cockiness from? She paused her ridicules as she realised she had more important things to do.
She quickly hurried to Kurapika's side, sliced her palm and poured her blood down his mouth. A few minutes later, the poison in his body detoxified. Kurapika thanked her as he got up.
After Itsuki reassured that Kurapika was alright, Itsuki walked up to the man, his face splattered with the bowl of substance, his eyes rolled back and his mouth foaming. Itsuki crouched down, reclaiming her tag and an extra tag; #135.
She sprang up, realising that this was exactly her target. She didn't know how she felt about this unexpected victory.
Happy, because she has gathered all 6 points. Unhappy, because the reason that man was down was because he was so disgusted by her cooking...
