Everything I Own
Chapter 2
It was later that she manage to used her chain to heal her wound, his too.
Still, it doesn't bring her voice back, more badly (or not), either do his memories.
So, she decide to take a note from her bag, and also a pen, then she began to write something on the certain note, and showed to him,
"Your..Name..is..Kuroro", said the man (who appear as a boy at this rate),
"You mean, my name is Kuroro", said him again in a concluded voice, which she responded by nodded,
"And your name is…?", asked him to the girl,
"Ku..ra..pi..ka, so your name is Kurapika, am I correct?", said him in a you-can-say-as-delighted-if-it's-not-him tone in his voice, and she nodded again.
"Tell me Kurapika, how are things between us before? And why do we end up here..?", asked him again after spending some minutes in silence, again, she took her note and wrote it to show it to him later,
"We were friends, and we've got into an accident which I also don't remember correctly", he read her written speech, in which definitely lies,
cursed me from lying, but telling him the truth might threaten my own safety, so just be it, she told herself in order to justify her lies, towards the certain man who have no idea that she's lying about everything but their names,
"So Kurapika, where do I lived before? Or did we lived together before?", asked him which brought her on shocked mode, she never thought he would asked such a question in such time, but she gained her previous knowledge to afford an answer,
"We're travelers, we're not staying", she said through her note, "How long since we've become travelers?", asked him, while facing her, directly.
As they're eyes met, her heart beats uncontrollable, and she felt her face getting warmer,
"As long as I can remember", answered her, written.
His innocently way of responding her answers, mostly her lies, causing an unpleasant sensation traced her heart down, and she began to doubting herself.
The two decided to move out, this place was wasted, abandoned, and there is no way they'd stay overnight in such a place.
As they began to walk, side-by-side, she swore to herself to not looking at his abysmal eyes ever again, they've been dangerous towards her; they sucked her in, as if they won't let her leave the owner, him.
"Something crossed my mind Kurapika, how would we communicate if your note were running out, I never knew any cued speech at all, or I just forgot it", asked him surely, well, unknown to him, another question was also running over the girl's mind, thrilling her,
What would happen if his Spiders found him? Or he remember his past?, she bowed her head down, letting her sight meet the street.
She was dazing off her own mind, and he, on the other hand, notice this,
What's in her mind? Anyway, he thought as he looking at her, she was skinny, and pale, as if she was not a type of traveler on his determination, but she's the only person he can count on, since he really had no idea who he is before they wake up, back then at the wasteland.
Kurapika's daze was interrupted as her cellphone's ringing, a message alerts, she decide to open her phone up and read the message,
Kurapika, where are you? We heard from Senritsu that you had a fight, is it with spider? You're still hasn't get through them aren't you?
Sender: Leorio
She wondered what's on her mind and started to doubt her own sanity,
What am I gonna do? Am I gonna let anyone knows that I'm stuck with lies to my mortal enemy whose now look as if he's not my enemy, she questioned her mind and got no answer for her question,
however, when she turn into her-last-mortal-enemy-whose-looking-so-innocent, she felt another session of warmness crept to her face, he's looking away though, but, she doesn't had any slight idea of how amnesia could also erased his murderous aura and reveal his inner persona, to her.
Then she decided to took away her SIM card from her phone and place it in her pocket,
sorry guys, but I've to hide away if his around, she plead to her heart.
Unknown to her, the message sender, namely Leorio, had tried to called her when she took her card before,
Damn it, what was on his mind now, he thought as he turns to the other two kids in the room,
"So, how was it?", asked the white-haired kid named Killua,
"Probably run out of signal, or he's just took his SIM card", said the man with rounded glasses, meanwhile, Gon, whose just listened to the conversation between his two friends in silence, suddenly spoke up,
"Maybe he had some important things to do, he's working after all", which caused his friends, Killua and Leorio, nodded in agreement, even though they didn't satisfied that much, and both of them know that Kurapika probably had some business that he wants to keep it as secret to them.
"Kurapika, are you okay?", asked him suddenly, as he's stared back at Kurapika who apparently looking at him in amazement,
she responded his question with a smile, assuring him that she was fine, though she know that it's not even good,
Why should I care about this man anyways? He's the man behind my tribe massacred, he's the source of my disaster able life..But…there is something behind those abysmal eyes that I still want to found out…tell me Kuroro..What lies beyond those dark in your eyes…, she wondered within herself.
As they walking across some luxurious hotels, she saw Neon, along with Basho and Senritsu, and she felt like she wants to hide, hide away before it's too late, but it's too late already, right at the moment Neon saw him (her) mood turn sour, just as she walks towards him,
"Ah, it's you Kuroro, I thought we won't see each other after that time", said her cheerfully, her smile was charming enough to catch Kuroro's attention, but still, he doesn't remember ever met this pink-haired lady,
"I'm sorry, I've got into an accident and I had amnesia, could you tell me your name miss?", said him politely as he look at the certain girl,
"I'm Neon Nostrade, we met at the cemetary building several month ago", answered the girl, which made something popped on his mind,
Wait a minute, maybe she know something about this lady, he thought as he looking at her, and then asking,
"Do you know her?", to Kurapika who felt a little relieved knowing that this young man doesn't mention her name, just yet.
But she decided to shook her head, it's true that she doesn't know how they've been met each other, but of course, at this rate, it's the best for her to not nodded unless she didn't avoid any contacts with her past friends, or comrades.
"Who is she Kuroro?", asked Neon as she look upon the certain blonde lady who reminds her of her missing bodyguard,
"She is my only acquaintance, her name is..", his sentence cut off when Kurapika decide to take a stances, she step at his feet while revealing a note to Neon,
"A..di..a, is your name Adia, miss?", asked Neon curiously, and she only responded with a nod,
"What happen to her Kuroro? Why she didn't spoke?", asked Neon to Kuroro who doesn't really understand why Kurapika didn't let her own name showed up,
"She's already mute from the time I know her, maybe because of the accident that erased my past", said him in a sure tone, as if he know for sure that she's been mute because of the incident,
"Sorry..", said Neon in apologetically way, which Kurapika's gave a sad smile in return, but she didn't get it though.
When Neon excuse herself from the two, Kuroro's mind warned him to ask the question regarding her name,
"Why'd you say your name is Adia, not Kurapika?", and she's turned to be shocked, by such a sudden question, but she's already knew he would asked about it so she's already wrote her answer in her note,
"Because I know her, I was once work for her under my real name and I hate the job but she's insisted me to stay so I decided to run away and hide, didn't you saw the way she looked at me before I say my name and you say I'm mute", she said in written language, while hoping he would understand and stay still rather than told Neon about her,
"Okay, I get it, by the way, why it has to be Adia? Of all names?", asked him curiously, hoping for an amusing answer,
"Because I knew a song titled Adia and I like it", said her in return,
"Alright, now let's get us something worth to eat!", said him while taking her hand and entered a good restaurant, she's just gave a sigh and decide to follow him.
The two then heading to some inn or hotels to stay overnight tonight was already confusing to the maximum levels and they need some rest.
And they pick a hotel, rented a room with twin bed, and Kuroro was the one who rent it,
"Hey Kurapika, do you know what is my job before? It's seems like I have a lot of money with me so I need to know what is my job before we travel together..", said him that really turn her into confusion,
Now what should I say?, she asked herself,
"Your parents owns a company and you're the only successor, so you work on it", he read her note once she gave him, and make a single comment,
"That's totally boring, no wonder I prefer travel with you..", which caused her to cursed herself for another lie, before he asked him another question,
"We're not just a friend aren't we? Well I presume no ordinary friend would travel together, especially when they're gender are opposites", said him deadpan, his face turn serious as he said those words,
But she refused to answer and go get to sleep on her bed, because there is only one fact that could be related to this issue and is the most possible reason for them to travel and stay together,
they're couple.
