Sunlight slowly flooded in the entrance of the den where Leorio and Kiyoko hid as the girl turned lynith continued to sleep peacefully, practically ignoring the fact that she was being used as a cuddle pillow by Leorio. The man groaned and sat up from his position, rubbing his eyes tiredly and looking over at the white beast next to him. Of course, he forgot about her ability again and flinched at the sight of her sleeping, sighing in relief once it clicked into his tired brain.

"Oi, Kiyoko, it's bright out and we should start looking around for whoever my target is again," he called, patting the beast. The lynith cringed a little, her left ear twitching and flopping little at his voice and touch. "Kiyoko... We don't want to be caught by someone else now do you?" asked Leorio, shaking her body and scratching behind her ear. The beast eventually woke up and yawned, showing her white fangs, sitting up and stretching her back tiredly. Leorio's face slightly paled when he saw her white fangs, but he eventually calmed down and scratched her head. "We need to find applicant two-forty-six for me to pass and for you, to not get caught in order for you to pass this phase as well. Along the way, we may bump into Gon and the others, but we must be careful," he told the girl pushing at her nose. The girl sneezed and pawed her semi-wet nose uncomfortably, frowning at Leorio and eventually reverted back to human, the girl still having her ears and tail.

"If I was Kuro, you would've been hurt by now," the girl chuckled, pulling her legs closer to her body. "Now all we need to do is wait for these ears and tail to disappear for us to set off in our search. How long have we been sleeping already?" Leorio shrugged as he looked back outside of the den and then back at the girl. "Maybe we woke up later than usual... It's a lot brighter than the sunlight at seven in the morning..."

'But we should be safe, I didn't hear anything strange last night nor this morning around the area..' Kuromi told Kiyoko.

'Neither did I..' Kiyoko thought. "Besides your loud snoring, I think this place is a pretty good hideout.. Kuromi and I certainly did not pick up anything strangely abnormal around here during the night or this morning." Leorio frowned and blushed when the girl mentioned about his snoring, crossing his arms and legs together like a denying child. "Snoring? I don't snore that loud or snore at all!" he protested.

"I wish I could record you to prove you wrong..." Kuromi suddenly said, emerging from underneath Kiyoko's usual positive outlook and scaring the man. "Your snoring is like the sound of that storm we came across!" Kiyoko sweat dropped and immediately took over again, scratching the back of her head before pulling her hair back onto her left shoulder. "Alright, enough with that, please.. Anyways, we will be able to head out soon. I may have to separate with you at some point to keep you out of harm's way, but we'll eventually get back with each other again." Leorio nodded and gave her a thumbs up as he pushed up his sunglasses, ruffling up her hair roughly right after. "Of course! You can bet that we will bump into each other again!" the man said. "Just try your best not to get too injured or even lose your tag."

"That's a hard promise to keep, but okay... I'll try," the girl replied, smoothing her hair back in place. As the two stood up from the ground, the girl's animal features finally disappeared, allowing the two to sneak out the den without being caught. "Are you ready for day two?" the man suddenly asked confidently, giving off an excited looking grin. Kiyoko smiled and nodded hesitantly as an answer, rubbing her arm to calm herself down. "I just hope there isn't any teaming up when it comes to hunting me down. I'm not so great at these stuff," she replied with a chuckle. "But then again-"

"You have Kuromi, right?" Leorio asked, giving the girl a slap on the back. Kiyoko winced at impact and lightly laughed in response as the man repetitively apologized before Kuromi came out to kill him. "Oddly enough, yes," said Kiyoko.

"Oddly enough? What's that supposed to mean?" Kuromi asked as her other self ignored her question.

"So any ideas where you're going to start looking for the person with the tag you need to take?" Kiyoko asked. The tall man shook his head and sighed as he rubbed the side of his head exasperatedly. "No clue, really. I think I'll have to wander around some more until I suddenly bump into them," he replied as he point a thumb over to his right. "Let's start over there." The two agreed with each other and trotted off to start their look out for the day as Kuromi continued to grumble to herself and watched whatever she could see through Kiyoko's point of view.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suddenly feeling something piercing into her back mentally after a few hours of walking and searching, the girl shuddered and looked around cautiously, straying away from Leorio slowly. Of course, the man noticed her moving away and gave her a questioning look as she held up a finger and pointed to a direction where she can feel the stare. He didn't know what she was trying to indicate until she began looking around again, seemingly alerted by her surroundings. "Great way to start off the day..." she told herself straying away from her friend completely. Once she was far enough and away from Leorio, the girl suddenly bolted off, the unknown person following her closely behind. She began to slow down when she noticed two other hidden participants on either sides of her. 'I'm guessing these are the brothers?' Kuromi asked.

'Well, probably? Didn't Tonpa say something about them always working together?' Kiyoko recalled. 'But anyways, anyone can team up and attack me.' The girl suddenly stopped in the middle of an open area as if she had no escape, giving a chance for the three to attack her. Kuromi's guess was correct; it was indeed the Amori brothers. The three lunged over to the girl to attack, a fist in the air for Umori, Imori sliding over to trip her, and Amori shooting over to catch her and steal her tag. Kiyoko only chuckled at their attempt and dove over to Imori 's side, getting out of the punch's way, being low enough to dodge the grab, and becoming air borne so she didn't get tripped. Imori stopped sliding and accidentally tripped over his brother, Umori, which caused him to fall over on top of him and hit Amori in the process. The boys were now groaning and glaring at each other as Kiyoko quickly made her escape. Imori was the first to notice as he tugged then punched his brother, Amori's arm. "She's getting away!" he announced, getting the others off him. The girl groaned as she turned around and slid back on her feet, her heels stopping her from going any further. The three continued to blindly charge at her as she whipped out her staff and dashed over to them as well, sliding out of the way before getting hit and striking them hard on their pressure point at their necks. Umori continued to try and stand up after the impact, but of course, Kiyoko didn't allow it and landed a swift blow on top of his head. "Sorry, but I'm not for sale," she said, switching to Kuromi briefly and smacking them again to make sure they wouldn't move anytime soon. The three groaned and yelped in pain as the wooden staff made contact with them again, falling to the ground with the hands twitching stiffly.

Kiyoko took off and sighed as she scratched the back of her head to relieve stress and anxiety from herself, her negative side returning. "Jeez, leave me alone already, guys...!" she whined as she continued to leave the area. It was certainly a typical day for the girl; well, that is if you consider being hunted down as an everyday activity. She was out in the open again, looking for another area where she could go to hiding, but then again, it wasn't a too much of a bad idea to stay in the open and away from shrouded areas like tall grass or columns of tall trees. "Now if I was a hunter who's looking for a girl that's worth six point- damn, I sound like I'm bidding myself to a rapist...- where would I be hiding...?" she asked herself aloud, walking down the empty path and keeping an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. A light brushing noise, leaves against object, suddenly sounded to her left, causing her to keep right and stay away from the area. "Definitely the bushes and grasses..." she muttered nervously. Hoping the person hidden in the bushes didn't see her, the girl quietly tiptoed away only to see a pudgy short figure pop out of the said bushes. "Haaaaa...! That felt great..." the man said, Kiyoko's face twisting into disgust and nervousness.

"A-ahhhh...! I may have seen too much..!" the girl squeaked. Tonpa looked over to the girl curiously and blinked before panicking, looking around and hiding himself behind the bush. "D-DON'T COME NEAR ME! UHHHHH, JUST A SECOND!" he exclaimed, bending down for a private reason. Kuromi suddenly took over Kiyoko's vulnerable mind and ran over to the man who looked up only to get an inviting foot to the face. "YOU DISGUSTING WORM!" she growled disturbingly. Tonpa flew off into the distance and bounced on the ground a few times before he slide on his face with his pants down and his butt up in the air. He then pushed him up from the ground and glared at Kuromi, unaware of the personality swap. "CAN'T A MAN TAKE A PISS IN PEACE?!" Tonpa hollered angrily as he pulled up his pants all the way before having a slap on the face with the staff.

"Not out in the damn open...!" Kuromi growled, her face completely flustered. The girl then jabbed her staff into his abdomen and sent him off into the air again just a foot away from his spot. Kuromi then stomped away, leaving the man groaning in pain on the ground. 'It's our fault for not being... careful,' Kiyoko told her angered self. 'Our mistake. Let's not blame him for that and forget whatever just happened.' As the two continued down the open path, the two came across Gon who was laying on the ground along side a headless Geretta which caused Kiyoko to panic. "G-Gon?" the girl called as she emerged back to the surface of herself and ran to the boy.

"K-Kiyo?" he replied, unable to move. The girl sighed and dragged him away with his belongings into a closed area and sat down next to him. "Let me guess... You were attacked by Geretta?" the girl asked. The boy wanted to look up at her at the moment, but wasn't able to since he was paralyzed. "... Yeah.." he chuckled bitterly. "I was training and he managed to catch me when I was off guard.." He sounded disappointed much to the girl's dismay, shooting him a worried smile and patting him. "Did something else happened?" she asked cautiously. "Don't lie now... I know when you're lying." The boy remained silent for a bit, feeling ashamed. "He beat me to it.."

"He? Who, Hisoka?" the girl asked, frowning a little. "What do you mean beat you to it?" He wasn't in a good mood for sure, but he was still able to talk to the girl calmly despite how much shame he was coating onto himself. "I need to beat him... I don't need his pity.." he grumbled. "I failed to notice Geretta nearby after stealing Hisoka's tag. He ended up killing Geretta and giving his tag up to me as if pitying me for my own mistake." Kiyoko continued to remain by his side and rubbed his arm reassuringly as he gave of a silently sob, trying to hide his disappointment for the rest of the exam. "I'm alright..." he suddenly said.

"Don't worry, Gon. You will be able to fight him soon and you will win," the girl told her friend.
