A/N: Inspired a lot by the song that's not about Christmas but happened in Christmas - "Last Christmas", originally by Wham!, but I'm listening to Busted's live cover. This is my very first attempt at fan fiction. Reviews are much appreciated.
Edited 12/30/08 - realized that I completely missed one chapter. Sorry, new user got a bit confused with the Document Manager.
Prologue
"Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day,
You gave it away.
This year, to save me from tears,
I'll give it to someone special."
He frowned.
The Christmas season does not suit Kurapika at all. He didn't like the shopping, the exorbitant spending, the ridiculous amounts of eating. But he swore to his friends - Gon, Killua, and Leorio - that the holidays would be his vacation. Or rather, they made him swear.
Revenge can wait. Right now, he has to face the horrors of a crowded mall on holiday sale.
He looked around, a scowl all the while marring his perfect features. But even so, and even despite the stress and rush, Kurapika still managed to attract stares. His blond hair was beautifully disheveled. His skin has always been pale, but they are paler because of the winter season, making his deep blue eyes stand out even more.
The tide of shoppers carried him to a particularly high-end store. He was fighting his way out, when something caught his eye.
Without a second of thought, he grabbed it, paid for it regardless of the unreasonable price tag he'd usually complain of, and immediately went home.
A/N: If you actually want to proceed, I suggest you take a look at the lyrics of the song first. It would help you get the story better. Come on, "last christmas wham" on your browser won't take much. ;)
