Requiem by Azrael

Darkness slowly covered the sky. Black, thick clouds started forming, blocking the sun's rays. Raindrops started falling. A downpour…

"It's raining. We should leave now."

Leorio said in a low tone, while streams of tears flowed down to his cheeks.

"Gon, get up!" Killua forced him. He stood after Gon, holding a black umbrella. His eyes were red from crying.

"No! We should wait for Kurapika…He's just sleeping…."

Gon knelt before his grave. He had his hands on his face, covering his tears.

"Stand up, Gon! " Killua pulled his arm.

"Can't you see his dead? He's dead! He'll never wake up. He's gone and we won't see him again…" Killua burst in to tears, slowly letting go of his arm.

Leorio stood silent. His face looked down to the ground while tears slowly flowed. He knew how hard it felt. They were just kids. Too young to feel the pain, to young for the sorrow…

The rain poured harder. They were all wet. Wet and cold.

"Kurapika promised. He'll never leave us." Gon continued, moaning…



Flashback…

"Kurapika no! Don't leave us! Please! " Gon cried beside him.

"I won't leave you. I promise." Kurapika promised, gasping.

"Kurapika" Leorio whispered, while brushing off his tears.

Killua sat on a corner. He was in a tucked position, his face buried. He didn't want to see Kurapika. He didn't want to see his friend pass away…. He just cried to himself, his tears burning down to his cheeks…

" Kurapika! Please don't go!" Gon cried harder.

He was losing his friend, losing Kurapika.

"A doctor! We need a doctor here!" Leorio called out.

"No Leorio. Let him sleep…He promised us not to leave… He just wants to rest…"

Gon looked at him. He knew that it was no use. Kurapika was diagnosed with Leukemia, the cancer of the blood, which was on the final stage. It was 2 years ago; he accepted his death ever since, knowing that his mission is finished.

"Kurapika"

End of flashback…

Leorio walked to Gon.

" I know. Kurapika will keep that promise. He's just waiting for us." Leorio spoke while gently rubbing his little friend's back, trying to comfort him.

He knelt down, closed his eyes, his hands in praying position. Killua walked towards them, then joined the two.

"We'll pray for him together." Killua said and closed his eyes.

"Together"
