Chapter 1:
-Kurapika's POV-
"DIE."
Microseconds later, blood splashes out of his mouth, which kept saying, "kill me," firmly, without any hesitation, until the second when death strikes.
Sick. The smell of blood makes me sick.
I'm awakened, by the very same feeling when Uvogin died.
Guilty? No. No one deserves to die better than the Ryodan. Glad? No. It wouldn't be, until all the spiders die. But who am I to feel that way, provided I'd take away lives.
That would make me no different from the Ryodan.
I've been dreaming of this same scene constantly, since I placed the Judgement Chain in Chrollo Lucilfer's heart and let him go. Sometimes I wonder why I didn't kill him on the spot, but the thought just disappeared when I remember that was a promise to Pakunoda.
I have to keep my promise, because I want to fight against them boldly, like a real warrior, or rather, an avenger. They may not be that way, but that shouldn't be a reason why I shouldn't be.
The sound of cracking ribs, the scent of bloods, the sensation in my fist, the anger of mine, the determination of his... I gasp.
I decided I can't go back to sleep, so I go downstairs to get some water.
As I walk to the kitchen, the chill in the hallway reach to my spine, making me feel cold in every inch of my veins. I pretended not to care much about the body sealed in a picture, hung on the wall. It reminds me that the person I work for is a body part collector, the greedy spoilt brat who never satisfied with what she has.
Perhaps Lucilfer did something right, for once in his lifetime, for stealing away Neon Nostrade's Nen ability. Anyway, this only makes my search for the Scarlet eyes becomes harder, as The Nostrade family is losing their influence among the mafia community.
I reached out for a glass in the dark and fill it with water. The indescribable taste of water calms my nerve a little.
Cough. I cough as I take the second sip of water. I'm not that stupid to choke myself with a tiny sip of water.
In fact, it is because of the feeling that I'm feeling now. I had experience it before, when Uvogin died right in front of me. It was a feeling of losing connection with part of me. Yes, part of my Nen. That is exactly how it feels when I no longer have the connection with my Judgement chain.
The second time I had this feeling was during my severe fever in York Shin. I could sense the indescribable feeling even when I was too weak and dizzy. Days later, I learnt Pakunoda's death.
Does that mean the Danchou of Genei Ryodan kicked the bucket, as well?
I instantly have a strong intuition, that Chrollo Lucilfer is still alive. The feeling simply means the Judgement chain is no longer attached to a living object, which can be meaning that Lucilfer used his Nen, thus activated the chain that leads to his mortal death, or...
He breaks free from it.
How?
