How Heather and Kurapika met. Title: Dreams made Real


Heather's POV

In the middle of the night of December, while everyone was asleep, I woke up in my dark small room when I saw a ball of light standing in front of me. "What is this thing? Am I dreaming?" I asked myself.

I rubbed my half closed eyes. It's still there. I'm sure that I wasn't dreaming. Seconds later, a voice came from nowhere. "I am here to grant one wish for you." said the sweet soft voice.

"Who are you? Wait... a wish?" I asked with a low voice with pure curiosity.

"My job is to grant and let you experience beyond the bounds of possibility things for one day." it said. This phenomena didn't make me feel scared and uneasy. The room felt warm and calm although it's winter. I stood up in front of the light ball wearing my pajamas.

"There's a wish that I've always been asking for. It sounds crazy, but I want to meet with Kurapika." Blushing, because of my strong desire and my half asleep mind, I said it without hesitation. The room became soothing and quiet. I raised my right hand, touching the light ball when suddenly the light became strong and it enlighten my room. I closed my eyes.

I tried to open my eyes. I'm surprised that there's a lot of people in front of me. I'm in somewhere like a town. "Where am I?" I asked myself.

Then the familiar voice again came in my mind. "I've granted your wish. You are now in the world you've asked for. Now, what you have to do is find the guy you are looking for. Remember, you only have one day."

I was shocked. I'm not really dreaming. I can feel the cold breeze of the wind kissing my cheeks. I can hear the chattering of the citizens of this place. I realized that they all looked like anime. My heart filled with happiness and it was beating so fast thinking that I can finally meet that guy I've been fantasizing for. I'd never thought that it will happen to me. I feel sad at the same time when I realized that I only have one day to be with him.

"Where can I find Kurapika?" I asked. The voice didn't reply. I walked along the spatial town. My feet wearing flat black sandals keeps walking. I don't know where I'm going.

Kurapika's POV

I'm now on my day-off from my work being a bodyguard. Everyone splits up, left and took their own time and ways on how they will spend their time. "How are you going to spend your day-off, Kurapika?" Melody asked with her soft voice.

"I guess I'll be going to spend my time in my apartment and research about the scattered scarlet eyes of my comrades." I replied. I gave my goodbye, turned away and started walking away. Melody then started to take her own path.


Heather's POV

Three hours have passed and I still don't know where to go. I'm tired and hungry. The sky is also turning dark. I might had missed my chance of meeting Kurapika. I felt frustrated. "Seems like it's gonna rain soon. I need to find a shelter and spend my time there til the rain is gone, but first, I need to find something to eat then I'll start looking for him again." I said to myself.

I picked apples since I have no money. I sat under the tree and eat. Someone passed by, and guess who it was? It was Melody! I got my hopes up again. I quickly stood up, wiped all the grass and dust off my pants and ran after her. "Melody!" I called her with my high-pitched voice. Melody looked back to find out who's calling her. She saw me running and waving at her. Melody looked at me strangely, wondering who's the girl calling at her like she knew her very well.

"Who are you? How did you know my name?" Melody asked me curiously.

"I'll tell you everything. Let's talk." I replied while catching my breath. Melody knew that I'm harmless so she came with me. We talked in a cafe. I told her everything.

"Will you tell me who you are?" Melody asked me while stirring her coffee.

"I am someone from the other world." I said.

"Other world?" She put the cup down.

"Yes. I'm here to look for Kurapika. I only have one day. Please help me grant my wish! Please tell me where he is!" I begged her wholeheartedly while looking at her straight in the eyes. Melody felt how strong my will is. She knows that I'm honest and won't do anything to Kurapika.

"Very well then. I'll give you his apartment's address." She brings out a piece of paper and writes the address. "There." She hands the paper to me. "It'll take three hours walk from here. Ask for directions. Be careful." She said while wearing a smile on her face.

"Thank you Melody! I'll never forget your kindness. I hope that I could repay you someday."

Melody was smiling. "Go ahead, your time is running out." She told me. I nodded and stood up from my chair. I left the cafe immediately. It started raining.

"I only have twenty hours left. I need to hurry." I said to myself while running. I've been running and asking directions around. I already consumed four and a half hours. Melody told me that I'll take three hours. Yes, but I wasted time because I got lost and been into many troubles.

After an hour, I finally reached Kurapika's place. I feel so nervous. My heart is pounding like it's gonna break all my nerves inside my body. I don't know what to say when I see him. I'm so happy that finally, my fangirl wish will come true. I'm walking towards the door and knocked. No one's answering. "He seems away. I guess I'll wait here." I said.

Kurapika's POV

I went to the cemetery to visit my parents. I spent four hours there. "Don't worry. I'll get your precious eyes back." I swear. I prayed and left. I went back home.


Heather's POV

"It's been four hours and still no sign of him? Am I going to fail to meet him?" I said sitting on the flooring with my eyes closed. Lying my head down on my knees, then I started crying. My hopes went down. It's raining hard. Raindrops sliding from my cold face. I felt very exhausted. My head is feeling heavy. I saw someone coming. "Who's that?" My eyes are getting blurry. I can't recognize the person. I fainted

Kurapika's POV

"Who is this girl? What is she doing outside my apartment?" I said and wondering. Why do I feel this way? I feel like I'm responsible with this girl and she has something to do with my life. I carried the girl inside my apartment. Put her on my bed. Dried her hair, and put the blanket on her.

I stared at her and touched her face, blushing. W-why did I do that? Why do I have this uneasy feeling? I shouldn't do disgraceful stuff to her. Oh my, maybe because I haven't been alone with a girl in a room. "Maybe I'll just cook something for her when she wakes up..."


A few hours later...

Heather's POV

I opened my eyes slowly. I was facing the ceiling. Lying on a bed. "W-where am I?" I get up from the bed and asked myself.

"You're in my apartment. You fainted outside the building. You've been asleep for ten hours." a voice responded. I'm pretty sure that voice is very familiar... Could it be?! I quickly stood up and went to the room where the voice is coming from. I stood up by the door. I saw Kurapika wearing his white full body suit.

"K-Kurapika?" I was stuttering and my tears are falling down through my cheeks. Kurapika looked at me concerned.

"Why are yo-" Kurapika didn't complete his words. I hugged him tightly right away. I sobbed. "W-why are you crying? W-what happened? Hey!" Kurapika panicked.

"I thought that I've failed to see you. I'm so happy that I finally met you." I said and still crying.

Kurapika's POV

"I thought that I've failed to see you. I'm so happy that I finally met you." said the girl.

"What are you saying? Tell me who you are." I said. I feel sorta happy. Why? What is this strange feeling? I started to blush.

Heather's POV

Kurapika hugged me back. We've been like that for a long time. I'm really not dreaming. I can hear and feel his breathing. The sweet scent of him. His clothes that's getting wet because of my tears. His arms that embraces my body. I really feel happy. My heart is full of joyousness. I've never dream that I could meet him someday. When everything is calm, I introduced myself to him.

"I'm from the other world. A world that is very far away from you. I've been looking after you all this time. This is my wish... to meet you someday. Twenty-four hours was given to me to find you and to be with you. Sooner, maybe after an hour, I'll disappear from this world of yours." I explained.

Kurapika's POV

My world turned upside down. I suddenly felt the loneliness in my heart. I'm falling down. I feel broke. Why do I feel this way? "I understand." I said. I held her hand and looked at her. "Why don't we spend the rest of your time together? Let's do something fun?" I smiled. She nodded and smiled. We stood up and went out together. We went to parks and had dinner.

Now I'm spending my time with this girl. A girl who I've just met, but I feel really attached to her. I don't really talk to strangers and I don't care about anything aside from avenging my people. But this time, I feel like I've known her for a long time. It's weird but I'm having fun and enjoying myself with her. I've never felt like this before.


Heather's POV

Afterward, we went back to Kurapika's apartment. "Kurapika, thank you. I really had fun with you. You have granted my wish completely. This is the best thing that ever happened to me." I said. Kurapika doesn't seem fine. He looks down and sad. "K-Kurapika?" I asked. Kurapika was silent. "Please don't be sad... I know what you've been through... I don't-" Kurapika hugs me tightly. I was surprised.

Kurapika's POV

I hugged Heather tightly. "Please don't go. I want to get to know you more." W-what am I saying? "I've lost a lot of important people in my life. I'm enjoying myself with you. I think it'll be good if you're with me." I said. My eyes are getting teary.

Heather's POV

I'm surprised that he'd say that to me. I didn't expect that it'll turned out like this. I just wished to see him. I hugged him back. "I wish I could... I really wish... I would like to spend my time with you. I can give up everything." I said. "Please promise me, when I'm gone. Don't let your anger pull you down. It hurts to see you like that. I want you to enjoy your life to it's fullest. Spend it with your friends. You may have lost the most important people in your life but it doesn't mean it's the end. Don't choose the dark path... I'll be watching you from the other world til the end. That's my last wish." I said.

Kurapika's POV

I just looked at her. I touched her face. Our faces were getting closer. The atmosphere is getting romantic. W-what am I doing? It's not like me but, I can't hold myself back.

Heather's POV

I was feeling nervous and happy at the same time. Our lips slowly touched each other. I'd never expected this. After that, he held my hand and gave me something... his earring. "Bring this with you so that you won't forget about me." He opened my palm and handed the earring to me. I smiled. My tears are falling again. I hugged him. But... W-what's happening? I'm fading? He looked with his gloomy face. I was crying but I still managed to put a smile on my face.

"Don't worry, we'll meet again." I hold his hands while I'm fading away slowly.

The light appeared again. I opened my eyes and my tears are overflowing through my face. "A dream?" I asked myself. Something's in my hand. I opened my hand. I was surprised. It was Kurapika's earring. My tears fell down. I hold it tightly and put it near my heart...
