CHAPTER 4 -Hunter Exam-

Rin POV

The cry of the gulls that wheeled overhead in their lazy arcs filled my ears and the pebbles shifted underfoot... Welcome to Dolle Island, everyone!

Uwahh!!! I missed you land!

Gon's eyes studied the large map deciding on which was the best route to take to the exam's site. Even when Leorio had stated that the Hunter Exam was located somewhere around Zaban city, Gon was still headstrong in heading towards the cedar tree on the top of the hill. He said that it was the shortcut to the exam. But by the looks of it, the cedar tree was located opposite the Zaban city.

"Anyway, I'll go have a look. The captain must've have had a reason to suggest that." With that being said, Gon walked in the opposite direction.

My eyes remained on him for a while before they shifted towards the map.

Well, let's just hope for the best.

"Hey, Gon, wait up! I'll see you guys when I see you!" I skipped next to him while waving goodbyes to Leorio and Kurapika.

"Oi, are you serious!" Leorio said.

"I'd rather depend on his luck than yours!" I stuck my tongue out receiving a loud pitch yell from Leorio. I giggled at the sight not noticing that someone had his eyes on me.

"You look happy. You know what? You look better when you smile," Gon gave me an innocent smile. His unexpected words made my face flush a million shades of red.

"W-what are you talking about?!" I blurted out, I couldn't contain my embarrassment and turned my head to the side hoping he missed my reddening face. But Gon just laughed at the scene.

"I can't help but noticed that you looked kinda sad on the ship. So I thought that you looked better with a smile." He continued.

I stared at him for a moment and averted my gaze.

"What are you saying? I'm not sad at all," I murmured. My eyes were focused on the road but I could still sensed his stare.

We continued to walk together in silence for a moment when Kurapika appeared out of nowhere saying that he decided to follow us. A few steps later, Leorio came pursuing us in short breath saying that he was afraid that we might be lonely without him or something when in truth he's just scared he'll end up at the wrong place.

It was great that the four of us were not separated yet. Was what I thought...

A few hours had passed-- a few damn hours! And still, this Leorio guy didn't even keep his mouth shut! EVEN FOR A SECOND!!!

Eventually, we reached a small town at the foot of the hill and thank god it was enough to make this loudmouth shut his mouth for once.

However, there was certainly something wrong with this town. There's a maze of ancient looking houses where windows have long shattered, some were broken, others were hanging by a thread. 

"This is a creepy place..." Leorio whispered.

"Why? Don't tell me you're scared~?" I teased earning a scowl from him.

"Hey! Who said I was scared? Aren't little girls like you should be the one who's scared!" He barked.

'Little girl?'

A vein popped off my head.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me a LITTLE GIRL?!" I kicked his leg hard enough for him to let out a piercing cry.

"What the hell do you do that for?! Damn it!" His nostrils flared and I crossed my arm with a huff.

Serve him right!
