(Hey, Guys! :3 I'm sure you've guessed who Kuondo and Pirro's fathers are, but they'll be officially revealed in this chapter. Thanks for reading!)
"Dad? Are you home?" Pirro called into the house as he opened the door.
"Yes, I'm here." his father answered from the living room. Kuondo followed Pirro inside. Pirro's father, Kurapika, looked up from the book he was reading. "No missions today?" Pirro asked. "Nope, and to be honest, I am quite bored." he turned his gaze to Kuondo. "Oh, hello, Kuondo. Are you staying the night?"
"Actually, we were going to ask you something. You know how the Hunter Exam is only a few months away?" Kurapika nodded slowly. "We were talking about trying it out this year."
"...Oh." Kurapika said, a bit surprised. But then, he smiled, looking quite proud. "Well, then.." he got up from the chair and went over to a closet, fishing around in it for a moment. Then, he got up, holding his old bokken. "You'll need this, for starters." He said, tossing it to Pirro. Pirro looked down at it for a moment, a wide smile spreading across his face. "Wow! Thanks, Dad!" He went over to his father and gave him a big hug.
Looking at them next to each other, Kuondo was astonished at how similar they were. They both had longer blond hair, and the robe Pirro wore was almost identical to his. Pirro had said his mother always told him he got his intelligence from his father, and, according, to Kuondo's father, Kurapika's eyes could turn red too.
"I'm gonna go to Whale Island to train this summer, okay, Dad?" Pirro asked. "I don't see why not." Kurapika responded. "Gon and I will take you. It's been awhile since we've talked."
"Yes!" Kuondo and Pirro said at the same time, running over to each other and doing a high-five. "Hey, Dad, I'm going to Kuondo's house!" Pirro said as he followed Kuondo out the door. "Sure thing!" Kurapika called back. "Kuondo, be sure to tell your father. He'll be happy to hear it!"
"Oh, trust me, I will!" Kuondo called back, heading out the door.
Kurapika smiled, watching the boys disappear down the street. He looked back at a photo on the wall of Gon, Killua, Leorio, and himself when they were young. That was 23 years ago…
"Perhaps history does tend to repeat itself."
(Hey, guys, a few pointers. For starters, Pirro does have a mother, but I didn't show her because, well, I have no clue who she'd be. I do ship Kurapika with someone, as you'd know if you've read my one-shot When We're Done, but I don't want to go that far yet. Also, who can guess how Pirro and Pietro got their names? Answer in your review if you know! Thank you1 :3)
