I opened my eyes to see that I'm stuck in Kurapika's arms. He was cuddling me like a child would to a stuffed animal. I smiled at him. 'He looks so peaceful when he sleeps.' A strand of his blond hair covers his face and his lips are in a smile. I can feel his chest rise and fall as he breaths. Suddenly, he opens his grey eyes and smiles.

"Good morning, Kikumi. Did you have a good sleep last night?" He asked, still a little sleepy.

'Not really. I had a bad dream about my family.' I wanted to say, instead I yipped a yes. I crawled out of his arms and sat next to him as he sat up.

He gave a sleepy sigh and said "I'm glad you had a good night. Sorry for using you as a pillow."

Suddenly Gon stuck his head in and asked "You ready, Kurapika? Leo? Leo! Hey. It's time to go to the fourth exam, get up."

Killua walked in and started poking Leo. I walked over and I used my tail to tickle Leo's nose. He bolted up and sneezed. Leo looked up at me and groaned.

"Let me sleep for a little while longer, please?" He asked

"Yip!" I barked

He groaned, sat up, and brushed himself off. Once he was up, I hopped into Gon's arms and everyone went to the exit.

*Time skip*

We stepped off the blimp and onto the top of a rock building.

"This is the trick tower. You must get to the bottom in 72 hours in order to pass. I wish you all good luck." Chairman Nertro said with a big smile on his face.

He got back into his blimp and he flew away. I was walking around, looked for a way in, when the ground from underneath me gave in. The last thing I saw was Gon's upset face as he ran to me.

*Time skip*
As I was falling, I realized that I had left Gon up there. 'Why did the floor give in? Is this apart of the test?' I thought. Then there was this light at the bottom of the pit. It was coming closer and closer. I drifted towards the wall and I jumped off of it to slow my fall. I did that several times until I was almost to the ground. I landed and this screen popped up, saying

Welcome, Kikumi. You must make a choice of saving yourself (O) or saving your friends (X). Pick here.

There was this pad with a X and O button for me to push. Without hesitation, I pushed X and this doggy door opened up.

"I'm worried about Kikumi. I hope she's ok." Gon's distant voice called through the door.

"Yip!" I barked as lould as I could and ran through the door.

"Kikumi?!?" An assortment of calls came out.

'Everyone! I'm coming. Just wait.' I thought as I passed through the last door.

Gon's POV
Kurapika, Leo, Killua, and I found a trap door system that lead us to this room. We had to wait for 1 more person to come down and then the door would open. I was riding on Killua's skateboard and he was using my fishing pole. Kurapika was pacing and Leo was laying down to take a nap.

15 minuets later

"I'm worried about Kikumi. I hope she's ok." I said, mostly to myself.

"Yip!" A familiar bark called.

The bark woke up Leo and Kurapika stopped his pacing.

"Kikumi?!?" We all cried out.

She was running out of somewhere and she leaped out of the hidden door. I caught her in my arms and held her close to me, hoping I won't ever lose her again.

Kikumi's POV

Everyone crowed around me, giving me hugs and petting my fur. I was smiling when suddenly, the roof caved in and I saw the person I wanted to see the least, Tompa.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I was planning on ending here, but I'll give you a little more. I'm nice.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

He took one look at me and sneered at me. He walked over and said, with a evil in his voice that I could only detect, "Hello, little kitten. Did you miss me." I growled and brisked my fur up. He backed away and looked at the rack on watches. He took the last one and a voice appeared out of nowhere.

"Hello, and welcome to trick tower. You have selected the majority path. You must all choose either O or X on your watches in order to pass. Good luck."

A plack showed up and said
Choose X for open this door and O for it to stay closed.

X-5
O-1

Leo grew an irk mark on his head and screamed

"Tompa, why did you choose O?!"

I am still scared of screaming, so I jumped out of Gon's arms and onto his head. He chuckled, but let me stay on him.

*Time skip*

We had stumbled into this room full of people in shackles. One of which is a wolf. He had a chain holding his foot down as hid head was being strokes by the main guy. The wolf was a brown wolf with black paws and dark green eyes.

"Ok. You each must battle one of the prisoners in order to escape. Before any of that, the animals will fight first. Good luck, everyone."

The wolf was unshackled and he let out a terrifying howl as he rushed out onto the bricks. No one wanted me to do it, I could tell. They never stopped me, though, so I walked out into the bricks.

"Rouki, Dont fail us." The main man said.

It nodded and lunged towards me. I couldn't fight him. He was my friend from long ago. I guess he forgot about me and got in trouble in the city. Suddenly, he surrounded himself in light and he turned into a human. He had brown hair and green eyes. His clothes were all tattered. Just like old times. He sneered and said

"Well, Kikumi. We meet again, except on the battle field. Can you transform now or will I have to overkill my old friend to a red pulp."

I grinned as I backed off and I started to glow. 'Its time.' I thought. I began to grow human parts and human hair. Arms, legs, hands, and feet appeared. When the glowing stopped, I looked at the boys. I bet they saw my orange hair and my bright green eyes. I was wearing a little orange sundress. Gon, Leo, and Killua had their jaws to the floor. Kurapika looked slightly surprised, but tried to hide it. While the wolf-person just chuckled. "Finally able to turn human without any help, I see?" I nodded and smiled.

"Yes, Rouki." I said, testing out my voice. It still sounded of little bells.

He smiled and, with the goofy smile I missed so much, said "Now, let's battle like we did when we were cubs. I'm not holding back, so don't hold back either. Give me all you've got."

"Yes." I said, sweetly, startling my friends.

'I'm finally back to normal. Now, sisters, here I come. Just wait a little longer. I'll be there soon.'

*Everyone's thought*

She can talk! Yay! And she turned into a human.

*Leo*
Wow! She looks nice.
(A/N  Pervert Leo never changes.)

*Kurapika*
Her voice is a little scratchy, but it's as soft as little chimes.

*Killua*
Her voice! Its so soft spoken. And her hair is a nice color, too

*Gon*
I know she can beat this 'Rouki'. She can do it. Go, Kikumi.
