*Kurapika's POV*
Kurapika found a small room in the Nostrade mansion and hid. He didn't think he'd ever have to work for Neon again but after getting the rest of the eyes back from the Kakin Prince but after counting them out he realized that he's still missing a pair. All of his friends told him to just let it go but he couldn't! Even one pair missing meant that he hadn't fulfilled the promise he made to his clan that he would avenge them. So unfortunately he and Melody ended up being Neon's bodyguards once more to get close to the Phantom Troupe. He wanted to kill them all anyway so in hind sight he should have expected this to happen again but he just didn't want to think about having to deal with her again! But at least now he found some quiet time to check on his leads for the Phantom Troupe. As soon as he pulled out his phone there was a loud knocking on the door. "Pika!" A high pitched voice screeched and he groaned. How the hell did she find him! She lost her nen powers, yet somehow she still managed to do the darnedest things...
"Yes Miss Nostrade?" Kurapika asks, a sigh in his voice.
"I need you to take me out." Neon says.
"Where?" Kurapika asks.
"To visit my friend Y/N. We're having a tea party." Neon informs him.
"Very well Miss Nostrade." Kurapika says and sighs.
"How many times do I have to tell you to just call me Neon!" She complains and walks away to get ready. Kurapika came out of the room and found Melody.
"Rough day?" She asks.
"It's always a rough day." Kurapika says and bangs his head on the wall. "Haven't I suffered enough already." He says. Melody pats his back.
"Hey just look at the bright side." She says.
"What bright side?" Kurapika snaps. "I've got no leads on the Phantom Troupe, that one pair of eyes that I need is off somewhere that I can't find, and I'm stuck dealing with a spoiled-"
"Are you coming Kurapika?" Neon asks from around a corner.
"Yes Neon!" Kurapika says and fakes a smile. When she's gone he turns back to Melody. "Just kill me now and get this over with."
"Hey don't think like that. Maybe this afternoon won't be so bad?" Melody says.
"I guess it might not be..." Kurapika says.
"Oh and Pika I need you to bring my friends!" Neon says and hands a bunch of stuffed animals to Kurapika then leaves to get in the limo.
"Or it might be bad..." Melody says and Kurapika groans.
"Can you come with me?" He asks.
"I might be able to come but I'm too busy to come right now." Melody says. "But if you need anything let me know." She says and leaves.
After about half an hour they arrive at a huge mansion on the other side of town. "You know there's this rumor that the Y/L/N's are richer than us, but it's totally fake." Neon informs him as they enter the driveway.
"No kidding..." Kurapika says and flicks the ear of a bunny stuffed animal. They got out of the car and a servant led him and Neon to a garden. Kurapika looked around in admiration of all the bushes and flowers. It was like a floral wonderland. They came to a sakura tree and he stared at it in admiration. "It's beautiful..." He says softly. The breeze blows some petals off of the flowers and he follows them, until his eyes land on the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. A girl in a nice white dress and shoes, sitting on a tree swing, reading a book. She had beautiful h/c hair and shining e/c eyes. Kurapika stared in awe. She seemed so calm and invested in her reading that she didn't even notice them. Until Neon shrieked and ended the peaceful silence.
"Y/N!" She screams and runs over to the girl who was reading. She looks up and smiles when she sees Neon but then her eyes go wide as she charges her and envelopes her in a hug, then moves the swing and it comes forward again and she falls off. But luckily Y/N landed in a pair of strong, steady arms, and a firm chest. She looked up and blushed when she saw the handsome man that had caught her. He looked like he could be a Prince from a fairy tale land.
"Are you alright Miss Y/L/N?" Kurapika asks and the girl blushes and so does Kurapika a bit.
"Yes. Thank you." She says, slowly releasing herself from his grip.
"I also managed to save your book as well." He says and hands it to her.
"Thank you so much!" She says and takes it back from Kurapika, blushing a bit as his hand rubs against hers gently as she takes it.
"Hey what about me!" Neon shouts and stands up and dusts herself off.
"Oh sorry Neon." Kurapika says. "I couldn't grab you both and Y/N was closer..." He half lies.
"Alright." Neon says. "Where are we having tea?" Neon asks.
"At the table under the sakura tree." Y/N says and points to the table. They all sit down, Y/N and Neon across from each other and Kurapika in between them. Neon's stuffed animals surrounded all three of them.
"So Y/N have you done any shopping lately?" Neon asks and Y/N smiles.
"A ton!" She exclaims and Kurapika's expression saddens. Oh...so she's spoiled too... He thinks sadly to himself. "I hit the bookstore pretty hard." Kurapika's hopes rose again and he perked up. "My favorite authors have been writing so much new stuff lately it's hard to keep up."
"Well that's because you have too many favorite authors!" Neon says. "You read too much!" She compliments.
"Can you read too much?" She asks.
"Kurapika tries to!" Neon says and Kurapika blushed because he was being brought into the conversation. He then feels his face get pinched. "This little cutie is always on his phone, computer or has his nose in a book." He rubbed his cheek as Neon let go of it.
"Really?" Y/N asks him. "What kind of books do you read?"
"Anything really." Kurapika explains. "But mostly history and science stuff. Like textbooks. But I do enjoy the occasional story."
"Ew, boring!" Neon says.
"I think that's really cool." Y/N says and Neon raises an eyebrow. "Although I definitely don't have the patience to read a whole text book. My favorite stories are adventures and fairy tales." She says.
"My mother used to read me a fairy tale book when I was a child." Kurapika explains and then mentally kicks himself for bringing up his past to someone he just met. "It was a collection of stories. The whole book was called The Power of True Love."
"My mom used to read me that book all the time!" Y/N exclaims. "It's my favorite!"
"Honestly it might be mine too..." Kurapika admits and the two of them chuckle. He realized then that you had an adorable laugh. Then Neon hit the table and then looked away when the two of you turned to her, and she tried to look innocent.
"So have you bought anything aside from books?" Neon asks. "Your dad gave you another allowance this month. Have you not spent it yet?" She asks.
"Well I've used some for the books. Then I a huge part of it to buy gifts for the staff and stuff for my animals. Aside from that I still have some left. I think I'll donate it or save it for a rainy day." Y/N says and both Kurapika and Neon were shocked for different reasons.
"Seriously!" They both exclaim. You nod. "Wow..." Kurapika says in admiration.
"Wow!" Neon exclaims. "How can you not use all of that money for yourself! Don't you know how many things you could buy with that money!"
"But I don't want to be selfish." Y/N says. "There aren't that many things that I want. I'm happy with what I have. I don't think I need to ask for much more than a few books and things to give back to those that have helped me and take care of those I care about." Kurapika rested his head on his hand and looked at you in awe. Wow! How is this girl friends with Neon! I think she's the first rich person I've ever met that isn't greedy or selfish! She just wants to help people...I wish I was her bodyguard. I wouldn't mind having to spend all my time with her.
"Hey!" Neon snaps her fingers in front of Kurapika's face. "Pay attention, you're supposed to be protecting me remember?" She says and Kurapika clenched his fist to keep from saying something he might regret.
"Is he your bodyguard?" Y/N asks and Neon nods.
"This is Kurapika." Neon introduces, remembering she hadn't done that before. "He's my favorite body guard. He quit for a little while but I guess he missed me and decided to come back. He's so sweet!" Neon says and grabs Kurapika and hugs him tight. Kurapika looked relieved when she let go. "How's your body guard?"
"She quit." Y/N says and Kurapika's hopes rose. Maybe I could quit my job with Neon again and work for Y/N...She lives close enough it would still work... "But we've hired a new one and he should be here in two weeks." His heart sunk. "But until then I'm stuck here."
"Well that stinks." Neon says. "Maybe you can come shopping with me sometime! I'm sure Kurapika wouldn't mind taking us! Right my little Pika?" Neon coos and Kurapika smiles at you.
"I wouldn't mind at all." He says honestly.
"Today was amazing Kurapika!" Neon exclaims and runs out of the limo, both of them now back at her house. "I bet Y/N is totally jealous that I have you as my bodyguard." I'm jealous of the guy who is her bodyguard... Kurapika thinks to himself. "But you could have paid more attention to me... You didn't even notice how pretty I looked under the sakura tree!" She complains. That's because I was too busy noticing how beautiful Y/N was... Neon snapped in front of his face. "Hey! Earth to Pika! I'm talking to you! Bring all of my friends up to my room and spend the rest of the day with me there." Neon says and walks away.
"As you wish." Kurapika sighs.
"How did it go?" Melody asked, coming up next to Kurapika and helping him take out the stuffed animals.
"Surprisingly well." Kurapika says. "You were right. There was a bright side..." Kurapika says and Melody notices a change in Kurapika's heartbeat.
"What's Y/N like?" Melody asks.
"She's...Amazing." Kurapika says. "I never knew a rich person could be so..."
"Sweet and selfless?" Melody asks.
"Yeah..." Kurapika says. "How do you know what she's like?"
"I met her once when she came over to visit Neon. All the staff wished they could work for her instead." Melody says.
"I feel the same." Kurapika says. "If only I had thought to work for her when looking for employment here again..."
"Well look on the bright side." Melody says. "At least you might get to see her again."
"Yeah." Kurapika says and smiles a bit. "I really hope I do..."
