Kurapika was lost, he could feel something clinging tightly to his right hand, but he couldn't move, nor could he open his eyes.
For once in a blue moon he was frightened.
''Am I dead?''
He'd always thought that he wasn't afraid of death…but now he felt the tight grip of fear pulling at his heart…
''Where am I? If I'm dead…then why can I feel things?'' Panic quickly erupted in his heart. He was vaguely aware of the grip on his hand letting go.
Unconsciously, he reached for the comfort of that touch, just to have something, anything, to let him know that he wasn't alone.
''Crap…''
Kurapika's breath caught…a voice…he wasn't dead!
''Crap, crap, crap…'' the voice persisted, and Kurapika felt a sharp pain around the middle of his arm.
Something cold rested on his chest, then as quickly as it'd come, it was gone.
Kurapika wanted to scream, to be able to open his eyes…something…
''What's going to happen…what if they think I'm dead…'' thoughts of him being buried alive tore through his head.
''No! No, please!'' He pleaded in his head.
''No….'' shock ran through his body. That was his voice! Maybe…if he could just focus…
…
''No…'' Kurapika's voice was thin and frail. But even so, Leorio jumped at the sound of it.
As he turned around to place the damp towel on his friends burning forehead, he was shocked to find the Kuruta's eyes opening slowly.
''Kurapika?'' though he tried to hide it, but his voice was full of concern.
''Le-Leorio…you're the one who…'' his voice gave out as his face twisted in pain.
'I should have given him somekind of pain killer! Darn it!' his thoughts raced as he trotted over to the medicine cabinet.
Once he found what he needed he rushed back over to the Kuruta who was still struggling to keep his composure.
''Here, I patched up your wound, but somehow forgot to give you medicine…'' He plastered a guilty grin onto his face.
''Lousy doctor…'' the teen muttered, a mischievous grin splitting his normally serious face.
Leorio huffed in mock annoyance.
''I'm glad to see you still have your sense of humor…'' he muttered wiping the vein in Kurapika available arm and sticking the needle in his arm, making the blonde suck in breath through clenched teeth.
''Now, how in the world did this happen?'' he said, gesturing to the bandages wrapped around Kurapika's stomach.
''That is none of your business.'' Instantly he knew he'd made a mistake as the Kuruta's grin turned back into the serious expression he normally wore.
He'd shut down again.
