"if that waterspout catches us, the ship will sink!" katzo said with a worried tone and expression.

"Lower the sails!" The captain ordered.

"yes!" katzo nodded and ran out.

"I'll help too!" Gon spoke and followed after the man.

"Me too!" Athanasia declared, following after her Brother.

' dammit! Don't forget me! I'm not so kind of background character!' she thought while running and looking around the ship.

It was messier than she expected.

Everyone, including Gon and Athanasia was busy trying to pull the ropes to lower the sails as they were told but the water and wind was making it harder than it should be.

In another corner, Kurapika and Leorio were standing far from each other, one facing the other as they kept glaring into each other's eyes.

Even when waves hit them, they don't budge.

"Take back what you said! If you do I'll forgive you, Leorio!"

"ha?!You take it back first!"

With that, Leorio pulled out a knife

"then I have to choice."

Kurapika pulled out his own weapon.

Back to where Gon was.

A strong wind hit and some people fell down, well most of them. Leaving a katzo alone to hold onto the rope but poor him. The rope was flying because of the strong wind, katzo Still holding onto it.

I was busy pulling on the rope behind Gon when I saw katzo flying?

' oh my. I forgot this! I need to do something before Gon jumps there!'

I ran towards The flying man and I saw pika with leorio run after him too reaching out to grab him but they were an inch away.

"Damn it!" They both clicked their tongues.

' I'm sorry Gon, I'll take your pla-'

I tripped. On air. I seriously did that infamous move. Here. Right now.

' let's.. Play... Dead. No wait, Gon!'

I immediately stood up and saw Gon jump down to catch Katzo.

"GON!" I yelled as I jumped after him.

I knew that he was going to be safe, but what if my existence changed the plot? What if..?

I held his legs as he held the man's arms.

I closed my eyes tightly.

' please.. Tell me the plot didn't change.. Please!'

Then I felt hands on my legs.

It was Leorio and Kurapika, they saved us!

_____________________________

The sky is finally clear now.

I bit my lower lip and hit Gon on his head "You idiot! What if something happened!? You could have died!" I shout.

"The same goes for you both! You're no different than him, Athanasia!" leorio yelled at me.

' I guess that's true ugh. '

" oh my god. How reckless can you be?" Kurapika said and sighed.

"but still! He did it first!" I pointed at Gon, who just smiled at us.

"But you did catch me" Gon chirped.

"w-well that's true.. " they said with a shocked face.

"Gon!" Katzo ran towards us.

"I'm here too.. " I mumbled but leorio heard me and snorted.

Katzo looked at Gon then At me, "thank you! You guys saved my life. If you weren't there, I'd be dead!" he said while smiling.

"we didn't do it alone " Gon replied and smiled back at him, glancing at Pika and Leo.

"that's true, they both helped us. We all would have died if not for them. " I added.

Pika and Leo looked surprised when we said that.

Katzo bowed and thanked them as well.

"You don't need to thank me. " kurapika spoke up.

"well, I'm glad you're okay " leorio admitted.

Katzo left, kurapika looked at the smiling Leorio then he smiled too.

' there it is, finally. Peace!'

"I apologize for me rude behavior." Kurapika started.

"I'm sorry, Mr.Leorio"

"w-what's with the sudden change..?"

I stepped on Eorio's feet.

"what the-?!"

I glared at him and coughed trying to give him the hint.

"weirdo.. Anyways I apologize as well for what I said. I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry, Kurapika. And we sound like strangers, just call me Leorio"

"Hehaheabasnklakakaka" that was the captain's laugh.

We turned to face him.

"I like you guys!" he said.

' I like me too, sir. '

"I'll take responsibility for bringing you four to the port closest to the hunter exam!"

"what about your test?" Gon asked.

"Like I told you, it's my decision to make. All four of you pass! "

' I already know but.. Just smile. Smile. Look happy. Smile!'

"Yay!" Gon jumped happily while the others smiled.
