Title: Conversion
It was a fine day for Kuroro Lucifer, not that he was actually happy for the chain user rendering him powerless but it is just a day that he had come to appreciate.
Why would He? Let us find out,
Note: Kuroro's POV
I am beginning to doubt my sanity when I come up with this idea, but now that I am to foresee the results, I might as well congratulate myself for being a brilliant bastard ever existed in the world.
Hisoka had informed me about Abengane; I never thought that it would be that fast to find a nen remover, I guess the demented clown's desire to fight with me was strong enough to accomplish a task like this.
I was walking aimlessly today, since the chain user rendered me powerless, I have nothing else to do but to saunter to this city and to be a regular patron of the library or a bookstore. I randomly entered a bookstore and to my surprise, I saw a familiar figure in front of me. I can only see his back but it is enough for me to recognize the blond hair and tribal clothes.
'Chain User' I murmured
The figure seems to hear this, and he automatically moved around to face me. To my surprise his face is not so fierce now, in fact, his eyes were ocean blue, not scarlet. But wait a damn second! Why was he smiling at me?! Darn! How could he?
"You're holding my favorite book there," he said with the same cold voice but this time it's not near to that devilish tone, soft even.
"I..What?" I managed to raise an eyebrow.
He took my hand that held the book in question; frankly, I do not quite remember how I got hold of that particular book. The gesture stunned me, how can the boy who loathed my existence do this? How could he even smile at his sworn enemy?
"Oh" I said
"Do you want to read it too? It's the last copy but since you're the first one who got hold of it…" the boy sighed and I blinked
"You can have it if you want to" I said to him…of why I did? I did not know…
"Okay, thank you then" he beamed, which left me into questioning his gender again, aside from unnatural treatment of course.
"You're welcome…" I managed
He took the book on my hand and walk towards the cashier, I followed him and as we were about to leave the premise I uttered my question finally.
"Why are you doing this?" I made sure that my voice was devoid of any emotion.
"Doing what?" he walked as I followed.
"You know who I am right?"
"Yes, you are Kuroro" he smiled again and this time, out of mockery
"Oh" I said and turned to the opposite side of the path.
"Where are you going?" he moved his head to the side
"To my apartment" I honestly said
"Can't I at least treat you for letting me have this book?" he waved the purchased book at me.
"Why would you bother to…" I faltered as the blond boy grabbed my hand and dragged me
"I just want to express my gratitude to you that's all"
It left me with confusion…
"This is going to be a weird day" I said and the boy looked at me smiling
"Bet it would"

The blond sat silently in front of me, perusing the menu and stopped as he looked at me.
"So what do you want to eat?" the boy said
'You' I almost said but that would make me a pervert right? Hell, I'm not, I would say that if he was a she, but he wasn't so..Better leave it be.
"Something light I suppose" I answered
"Okay" he sighed
"Chain User" the Kuruta looked up at me
"I'm tired of your game just tell me what are you going to do with me?" I said emotionless
"Call me by my name, its Kurapika, Spider Head" he mocked
"Ku..ra..pika" I managed
Kurapika's face changed, from a pleasant one to the fierce Kuruta that I've known
"Look, just go with the flow there's a nen user who's following us" he murmured
"Oh, and since I can't use mines you are obliged to guard your mortal enemy?" I sarcastically remarked
"No" He shook his head and continued
"He was about to approach me when you turned the other way" he faltered
"Oh, so that's why you dragged me? So explain to me your kindness back there on the bookstore?" I questioned
"I don't want them to know that..." he stopped so I continued the statement for him
"I am the Ryodan leader? And that you hate me, oh might I add that it's a public place"
The Kuruta nodded as his fierce look was gone...he began to speak
"They're out to hunt me for my bounty...I am after all, the Last Kuruta" Kurapika whispered
I can't believe that he's discussing it with the very same person who was the reason why he was the only one left on his tribe, there was really something wrong with the chain assassin.
"Hm" I deduced something in my mind and voiced it to Kurapika
"And if they know that I am a Ryodan, the leader at that, they would not hesitate to have us, am I right? " I said monotonously
The statement gave me another nod from the Kuruta, as I continued to speak.
"I have a question" I am irked to postpone this any further
"You're...different" I stammered
The boy seemed shocked by my statement so I continued
"Your face, your aura-it's not that I can feel your nen per se, but there's something different"
The boy nodded, so that might mean that he's aware that he is acting so strange towards me right now, actually the way he moves right now is way too different from the chain user I and I wager 'others' know.
"Guess I can't really hide this from anyone as keen as you are?" he sighed
I nodded
"And I bet those who follow you aren't bounty hunters" I stared at him for a good measure
"You know that I lied don't you?" he stared back at me, which made me taken aback, he really looked like a girl and the way he stared back at me was stunning and yes, I took his statement as a compliment.
"Yes, so....?" I gestured him to continue
"They....are nen users and" he trailed off
"And?" I went nearer to hear him say more
"They are casting some nen curse on me..."he felt defeated
"Oh, like what? Restraining your nen too?" he shook his head
"NO..." his right hand tapped his forehead
"They're changing me..Bits by bits..." I was confused
"Changes like?" I urged him to continue..
And as he continued I was stunned of realizing that he did change, 'converted' might be the right word and...I am in the middle of believing that it was true and believing that it was just a joke...but the scowling face of the Kuruta implied otherwise.
And it echoed to my mind what he had just said..
"changes that normally occurs to female" he squeaked
"Female" I managed to get a hold of myself
"Yes..." He blushed...
"How old are you?" I asked, hoping that the Kuruta was just a tomboyish girl reluctant to accept that she was about to venture into womanhood
"I'm already 17! Why? Do you doubt my gender? As I've told you long before I am..."then his err... her voice lowered
"Was...a male" he bowed his head
"I see..." I smiled, maybe because I took the blond's err..blonde's predicament as an advantage for me and my group...a sort of revenge maybe....
"Why are you smiling?" she asked
"Just answering the smile you have given me back there in the bookstore" I grinned
"You think what happened to me is funny!?" she said
"Yes and why are you telling me this? You really are different now" I tried to mock her with that but she baffled me by her response...
"They really changed me...physically and I guess they managed to ease my....pain...to be honest I no longer seek revenge...." she whispered
I was left confused again, we ate our dinner and I doubt my own senses why did I have the Chain User's phone number? And I even walked her home...'Nostrad's' I sarcastically said.
She thanked me again for accompanying her through the day, Hell, Kurapika is different right now!!!
She er...He became a female....I don't know how could that happen, I just wish it wouldn't happen to me...He, I sighed, She became less furious now...less fierce but maybe as powerful...my enemy is changing and I don't know if I still have the desire to set a mission to avenge Paku and Uvo....
Nobunaga can do that for me I guess...but I have a different interest to the chain assassin right now...a revenge..sweet revenge...
