Well, usually I finish a story before I upload it, but since there are only a few KiruKura fics online I presume everyone who likes this couple would appreciate it if I upload it sooner than planned. But! I warn you guys, I'll only update once in a while. I don't know how long the chapters will be, but I have to say I don't like fics with chapters which are way too short. I've written quite a bit now but I don't think it's gonna finish soon... I don't like to rush a story.
Oh, and I would like to thank TwistedHero, the one who wrote two of the best KiruKura fics out here! I really like 'em, since I also enjoy to read fics about my favorite pairings, and they're very good. My fics always end up being way too serious, while "In Love and Denial" and "Seme and Uke" are both cute and funny... Well, guess that's not my style, but never say never! Maybe I'll try it someday... -Laughs-
Anyway, let's get on with the story! I know the prologue is short, but the story's gonna be much longer!
Chain of destiny
He had made a vow. He would destroy the Spiders and restore the eyes of his clan. But then he met someone who made him realize killing wouldn't solve a thing. He finally opened his eyes and peace took over his disturbed mind. That someone made him forget about everything he had sworn to die for. It was then he made another promise to himself. No matter what, he would protect those dear to him.
He was born in a family of assassins. He could decide between life and death. But then he met someone who made him forget about everything he thought he lived for. He started living his own life instead of the one his family had chosen for him. He learned that there were things more important than killing. It was then he promised himself to use his skills for protection and caring of his friends.
Both owed him. Gon, son of Ging, was the one who calmed down their restless hearts. An avenger, an assassin, both turned into caring, protecting friends, willing to risk their lives if necessary. They learned about a strong bond, the bond of everlasting friendship.
But there were also other bonds, bonds they only shared with each other. Their bloody past, their desire to kill. Bonds only very few knew of. Gon had taken it away from the surface, but deep, very deep inside their hearts slumbered a dark monster, ready to take over. And they knew it. But if Gon knew, he would give it everything he had to prove otherwise. So they kept silent. They thought they were alone, not knowing they were living alongside someone who felt the same as they did. When the four of them were together they pretended to be happy and carefree, but they knew they were different. Alone. Helpless. Until they really got to know each other…
A/N: I've noticed that some of you who read this prologue decided not to continue reading, so I just wanted to tell you that the story in itself uses a completely different style of writing. That's why this isn't an actual chapter but just a prologue I put in to illustrate how Killua and Kurapika are both alike, instead of them just falling in love out of the blue. So here's a preview of what's to come:
He kneeled down in front of the young man, who was still holding his wrist. It was the only source of warmth Killua had, so he didn't really mind. He stared at him, waiting for any sign, but he didn't move. His open eyes stared at the bottom of Killua's bed, still coloured scarlet.
Suddenly his own black irises met the flame red ones. They were almost on fire, they were burning, they were piercing into his soul… and igniting it. Killua's face showed no emotions, but the cold suddenly disappeared. He wondered why. It was a strange feeling, but not unpleasant. It was comparable to the friendship he felt for Gon, only different.
Well, while I was writing I was listening to my music and suddenly I heard some lyrics which seemed to fit perfectly with this fic...
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
And watches everything
Song is Linkin Park's Papercut. I just had to add it. I don't really like or dislike song fics and I wouldn't actually call mine one, but to fill up the emptiness at the bottom of each chapter I'll be posting some lyrics which I think do fit with the scene. If anyone thinks this is a waste of the story, please tell me. I hope you enjoyed the prologue.
