Kurapika had become Nostrade family's top bodyguard in barely a few month.
Of course, he didn't have in mind the best interest of the family even though he had to admit that he wished Neon would recover.
However, his « intelligence research » wouldn't go quite as well without the resource of the Nostrade family so he found himself obligated to deal with their affairs..
It turned out that the Nostrade family gave weapons to the NGL underworld in exchange of the famous drug D2 they were the only one to produce.
It turned out, that at the worst possible moment, Light Nostrade himself, leader of the Nostrade family, had an appointment with Gyro, leader of NGL to renegotiate their deals after an internal breakdown of the Nostrade family caused by Neon loosing her ability and Kurapika putting in debts the organization for the scarlet eyes of one of his slaughtered clan member.
They came together along with Melody for her very useful hearing capabilities and were escorted by some of Gyro's followers, armed with semi-automatic weaponry.
At some point, traveling in the jungle, Melody noticed silent stalker behind them but didn't say anything to Kurapika, thinking only a wild predator could be that invisible to her senses in this forest.
It was indeed a wild predator, but by no means was it harmless..
That, she realized but too late as the beast appeared in front of them seeming prone to anger :
« You've stepped into private property ! This land is mine ! »
Her fist reaction was to be fear stricken by the speed of the beast, as she heard its movement..
Her second reaction ?
It was to be fear stricken by the look of the beast : it was a anthropomorphic rabbit with feathered arms wearing but a thong to cover its crotch.
