Chapter 1: Back to December
After the separation at the airport, Kurapika had to through a fever for several days due to her too much effort of using her nen.
During those days, she had some illusion of how her Kuruta comrades were demand her for the vengeance she had been carried all this time. She also had some recall of her past that been colored by the person she hated the most, Chrollo Lucilfer Blatchford, the brother of her Hunter Exam friend, Mocha Perseus Blatchford.
A sudden fact also crossed her minds, the fact that her beloved cousin, namely Shalnark, was also one of those so-called Spiders, that even when she know how those Spiders client had prevent him from said a thing to his Danchou, regarding to the massacred, he still one of those Spiders that she could never killed even if she needs to.
What should I do?, she asked her mind in between her sleep due to the fever she had.
On the other hand, Senritsu, who had been watching her for the whole time, getting worried about Kurapika, she never seen her (Senritsu already found out about Kurapika's gender issue) in such bad condition as now, moreover, it seems that no one could even do a thing about this blonde, which also made her felt hopeless,
Oh dear, why'd you had to through such thing? Poor you, she thought as she seen her blonde friend's condition for the day.
The condition went through several days, and after that, Senritsu herself could see how Kurapika's condition was getting better.
"How's him now?" asked Leorio calmly, to Senritsu, this question reminds her of how Kurapika still keep her true gender from everyone, maybe including her if she didn't found her out back then,
"S-He's getting better, I suppose, and maybe he'll be as fine as before in some days later", said the woman in calm but sure voice, while also hoping that Leorio wouldn't asked her about the fact that she almost spilled Kurapika's gender to him.
"I hope so", said the soon-to be-doctor shortly as he also started to walk away.
What Leorio doesn't know is that the fact that he's a quite brain-lacking person has made Senritsu felt somehow relieved, she wouldn't dare to face Kurapika near the future if the information has been spoiled from her own mouth, to Kurapika's friends, especially the 19 year-old young man called Leorio.
When Kurapika finally got well, it's also the time for them to get back to Nostrad's place since the auction has over, upon hearing what Leorio said to her, she's already knew how wonderful if this man become a doctor someday, also if someday Kurapika would share this top secret of her gender, he'd be the most suitable one for her, in her point of view.
"Senritsu?", asked Kurapika on the flight,
"Yes, what is it?", said her calmly,
"You didn't tell them about my true self did you?", said the blonde Kuruta as she turn to the said someone she talk to,
"No, I didn't, unless you want me to", Senritsu says in a very sure tone in her voice, which made Kurapika relieved,
"Someday, yes someday I'm gonna told them myself", said her in low tone, in which only Senritsu could hear.
After the talk on the flight, Kurapika went silent, Senritsu made a mental note to ask for it later, while actually means to let it be for now.
Arriving at the Nostrad's made Kurapika felt quite relieved, the whole Yorkshin scene had drained all of her energy and she just want to have a little time to relax a while.
Her dream of spending some time alone was distracted when her big boss, Light Nostrad, had summoned her to his room.
She pull herself together and covered her emotion under her stoic masked, on her way down the hallway to his room, then she release a sigh before knocking,
"Excuse me sir, I heard that you want to see me?", said her in her boy persona made up voice,
"Come in Kurapika, I need to talk", said the person in the room, unknown to him, this Kuruta girl was pleading the god for her safety in her heart, before entering the said room,
"I am here, sir. What do you need?", asked the girl (boy in appearance) professionally, her voice sound manly at such rate of situation,
"Neon, my daughter. She told me she couldn't predict anymore, do you know something about it?", asked the man in pride, Kurapika felt a little disgust at her own big boss at this such condition, his eyes were looking at her in dirt, as if trying to look for something he could use from her to get his money back,
"I don't had any idea about it, I'm sorry", said her in fake honor ship as she come on a very disgust at this,
"Kurapika, are you really a male?", asked him in husky voice that she could seen as another dirty trick to made her something he could sell,
"Indeed I am sir, why'd you even bother to ask?", she said as she felt quite uneasy around this, her mind started to thinking of a way to get the hell out of here,
"Never mind, sorry about that", said the man in a very sure voice as if he just getting back on his mind,
"But, Kurapika, can I ask you a big favour?", he continued as he seen her stepping back,
"Of course sir, what?", she said in confusion, her mind trying its best to tracing the way of this 'new' conversation,
"Well, you see-
