A/N:
I keep meaning to say thx for 2k reads...but I keep forgetting lol

YOUR POV:

The venue was filled with people. My scanned over the crowd that was below us. "It's a good thing we're dressed up. Everyone here is dressed up with suits and gowns." Killua comments"if we had wore our usual clothes we definitely would've stood out." Gon agrees as he begins to descend the staircase. "I think we're getting attention anyways." I say"well people aren't used to seeing kids here." Zepile says as I over hear a lady commenting on Killua and I. "Don't the the girl and the white haired boy look lovely together? I wonder if they're dating."

I felt my cheeks burn as I looked to the floor to hide my blush. The boys suddenly stopped,I looked to see Phinks and Feitan?! What the h*ll?! We quickly ran back up the stairs in a panic. "WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE?!" Gon yells"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?!" Killua yells afterwards.

We run out of the venue and into the hallway,however Phinks blocks the hall. "Such rudeness,running away like that." Feitan then speaks up from behind us"don't be afraid. We have no intention of killing." Phinks states that they are no longer after Kurapika because of the chain around the bosses heart. "Nen doesn't necessarily disappear after death. In some cases,it becomes stronger. The chains for that category. If we kill him before his hatred subsides,the Nen will become stronger." Phinks went on and said he no longer was after us either.

"Then why are you here?" I asked"we came here as potential buyers. The others returned home." Phinks answers"and Pakunoda?" He shakes his head"she's dead." He turns around as I feel my heart break a little"she was very useful." After that incident we headed back to the auction room.

We were greeted by a lady who presented the first item. Bids were placed quickly on the items. It took a while but finally Greed Island has appeared as a item. "Some may have already realized but this console doesn't use electricity." A buff man with a hammer then proceeds to beat the sh*t out of the console,but it doesn't break.

"No damage was taken to the console. This is just your basic joystation. It should've been smashed to pieces but thanks to the energy used,it suffers no external damage as long as a player is within the game. Now,please look at the screen. This man is currently playing inside of the game. The game screen is blank,only person who can see is who is playing the game. The game comes from a contract by the player himself." She goes on about the game and finally announces that the starting price is one billion jenis.

People start to raise their hand to bid. Right now the bid was 12 billion. "You indicate the price with your hand." Gon comments"the auctioneer announces the number of the highest bid." Gon then gives a thumbs up"what does this-"

"Number 20! Doubles the price,24 billion!"

"Oops."

"YOU IDIOT! YOU JUST DOUBLED THE LAST BID! YOUR NUMBER WAS CALLED! THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN SAY 'IT WAS A MISTAKE'!" Zepile screams at the boy"well we're stuck with it now." I say"no higher bids?"

"If the auction ends with 24 billion and they realize we don't have enough money...worst case scenario is we'll end up in jail." Zepile says as the price goes up to 25 billion. The numbers bounced around for a while. The bidding had gone to a older man,we had to confront him later.

Small time skip

"Excuse us? We're hunters and we'd like to try and complete that game." Gon tells the bodyguards but they weren't having it. "In the case,show us your license." One of them demanded"uh sure." I pull up my dress to where my leg is. I always kept my license in with my knife when I didn't have a bag. "Here." I held it up and they seemed slightly take back. "And you two?" The man asks as I stuff it back into it's place.

"Yes!" Gon exclaims"we don't have it,it's at the pawn shop." Gon's eyes widen at Killua's statement. "That's what I thought! You kids get out of here!"

"Wait. You entered here which shows you aren't ordinary. But it's not a good reason to show that you aren't lying. It's true I employ Hunter's to complete the game,but I'm strict on selection. At this very moment,we're picking people to join. The numbers are limited,but I am unable to employ you." The older man states"the number of people is limited? I thought that I read in a catalog the number is unlimited." Killua and I agree"the number of participants is unlimited but you need a memory card to save. On a card,one person's data can be saved. Not counting the save,the console allows eight people."

"Now that I think about-"Gon turns to us"the 30 files of the memory card were on readable in Greed Island."

"How did you know that?" He asks clearly skeptical"we have our own copy. But we haven't completed the game,only saved data." Gon explains"when a game is started it's impossible to turn it on and off or even remove the card. On the other hand it's impossible to insert something. The card is authentic. You must have another object to remove it."

"The ring?" Killua asks"it seems they are able to take the test..."the man trails off. "You know how to use Nen right? Show me your nen." One of the guards demands as we activate our Nen's. Quickly though we were shot down"they'd be sent to their deaths. Letting them three play would be pointless." Our Nen's then fade off"how can you be so sure when we haven't tried?" Gon hums.

"If you try it'll be to late. Still your deaths would be a positive alternative. If you were to prolong your existence it would be a bother. As long as a player is in the game,you can't remove nor erase the memory card. Basically,as long as a player is in the game you can't enter or insert a new card." One of the guards states"so we can't save?" Killua asks as he shakes his head"exactly. That means if we send a new player into the game and manages to complete it and return. None of the acquired data could be recovered."

"I own 32 copies of Greed Island. The number of people I have employed including professional and amateur is about 100. Sadly half of them propose a loss for us. What I mean is they refuse to return to the real world and they're surviving in game. The individual data displays on the screen havent changed for months,even years. Because they refuse new players can not be sent in. That's why the selection is real strict. A player who can return to the real world after a few items is picked up,that's what I am looking for." The older man tells us.

"But we still don't know why we can't try!" Gon yells"and how do you know we wouldn't make it?" Killua growls"because I am professional hunter and I have tried to clear Greed Island. In the past sixth months I have been back and forth relying on my experience. Concerning the level of difficulty in obtaining the objects needed to return to this world,I can say I reached level four on a scale with level ten. If you tried to with the nen level you have,it would be a quick game over." The guard says"did you win?" I asked crossing my arms"no. I managed 80%. But that is because I aim for efficiency. Not that it's any of your business." Gon glares at the male"when the evolution test is done,I'll return it."

"Test?" Killua asks"I am going to buy the other seven copies of the game. And after I will require players." The older man explains"we already have replies from Hunter's. The competition will be tough."

"So your saying we should partake in the exam and if we pass we'll be recruited?" Killua questions"exactly. The test will be September 10th. Right at the end of the auction. It will take place here,at Southern Peace."

"That's four days." I say"we know! Come on Y/N,Killua!" Gon yells stomping away"and now he's mad..."I mutter to myself as I follow. "By the way,how'd you acquire your memory card?"

"We won't say!" Gon yells"that pisses me off." Killua admits"we'll pass their stupid test! I swear!"
