A/N: Ah~! Finally my mood for writing this fic comes back~ well, I must at least update one chapter per month, so here it goes ;D

Summary: Something unexpected to happen.


'Wake up...'

'Wake Up...!'

'Agh...'

'Finally waking up? Sleeping beauty...'

Kurapika felt his eyelids heavy as he opened them slowly and look around to the unfamiliar place.

'Where am I...'

'I think they brought you here when you're still in the state of unconscious. Ufufufu... How uncool of you..'

In an instant, Kurapika's mood turned beyond irritated. Replying to the annoying voice in his head was making him frustrated, so he decided to spit out the words out loud instead.

"You, whose talking inside of me. Just who the hell are you?!"

'Aw... What a question to ask. How mean of you to forget..'

"Nevermind who you are, just stop making sounds in my mind!"

'You've grown a lot, Kurapika. Being so rude like that is not what the Kurapika I knew before... Now that, you stole one of my precious belonging, please take good care of it. See you again. When the right time comes... Ufufufu...'

Sensing what that person means by those things, Kurapika directly look at the Red-Ruby ring he got from Kuroro, who forcefully place them in his right hand's fourth finger.

"It's not like I want them, anyway..." he leaned a sigh and placed his left arm above where the right is, getting ready to pull the ring off again.

"Damn it...! Why can't it get off...?!"

'Speaking of which, I don't remember getting unconscious again for the third time.'


"You sure, Danchou?" Phinx speaking.

"Yes, I am."

"But Danchou, I don't think he..." Shizuku stopped complaining when she felt Franklin's large arm patting her head.

"Shizuku... Believe in Danchou..."

"Why don't we kill him already." Machi said.

"That boy can be at use, it'll be a waste if we kill him directly."

"Then let me torture him 'till he died." Feitan added.

"Hey Feitan... If Danchou said so, then it's the final." Phinx tried to assure.

"Cih..."

"Franklin, Shizuku, Machi... Please take a good care of Nobunaga. I don't want the same thing to happen again. Tie him if it'll help you. Machi, after you're done. head to where we are."

"Understood."


'I should get out of here!?'

'Where's the opening...?'

Ah... There.

'How careless of them not to guard the door.. Well, this is beneficial.'

At once, Kurapika walks towards the stairs and runs up to the door. He grabbed the knob and was ready to turn them on until a sudden force that pushed him forward failing him to escape for the second time, again.

He bumped Kuroro's chest and tilted his head up to face whoever it is.

'Oh... Not again.'

"Escaping again...? Failing for the second time, no?" He placed both of his hands in Kurapika's shoulders. "Well... Thanks to you for making work easier for me." and he carried Kurapika in his right shoulder, heading towards the stairs and walk down.

"Let go!"

"Moving you to this room... Do you think I didn't got anything to do with you here?"

"All of those are not my concern!"

"Well, it is. Soon, you will know."

He rested Kurapika down onto the wooden chair, roughly shoving his shoulders to ensure that the kuruta wont move even a centimetre. Using his free hand that wasn't gripping Kurapika's shoulder, Kuroro caught the blonde's chin and tilted it up to face him.

"You have such a potential for the use of us, the spiders."

Kurapika looked at the spider head angrily as he tried to understand what he's going to talk about.

"Say, Kurapika. What do you need to do and to have when becoming a member of Genei Ryodan?" Kuroro twitched his eyebrow.

"Let me answer them for you, Danchou." Phinx volunteered.

"Go ahead."

"We need to defeat an existing member of the Troupe to join. Whether putting our lives in the line or to admit defeat."

"...And also a spider tattoo..." Feitan continued.

He got Kurapika's full attention as he faces Feitan.

"With a series number on the tattoo, itself." he added.

The blonde widen his eyes in horror as he turn his head towards Kuroro and Phinx

'Looks like he got it.' Kuroro thought.

"Don't tell me..."

"Exactly."

"Coloured liquids."

"Right here." Phinx answered.

"Needles."

"Present." Feitan hold them.

"And so let us begin."

'No, no, no...!'

Kurapika never thought before, the fact that he'll turn to become a member of the spiders, to become just like them, to receive their tattoo... Becoming one of them...

Impossible!

Phinx moved closer, prepared to tie Kurapika up. As he closed the distance, Kurapika suddenly pushed Phinx chest. mustering up as many energy as he could gather and made a mad dash from the chair.

"Shit...! Looks like the effect of the drugs have gone away..." Phinx said, annoyed. "This will be troublesome."

"Let me join in too, Danchou." Feitan asked.

"No, let Phinx and I handle this. Save your strength for later."

'I wont need to do much, she'll comes back soon later.'

Looking down, he saw nen strings circling and looping around his body, bringing him away from freedom, away from a chance to escape.

"Need help? Phinx?" The pink-haired girl arrived.

"Ah! If you weren't here, I will catch him soon enough!" Phinx complained.

"I wont be here if Danchou wouldn't ask me to. Now, Danchou."

"Hmm... Now, Feitan. Your turn." he smiled at the lying figure that were tied up.

"Heh..." Feitan slowly edged towards all of them, bringing along the needles and liquids. He knelt on the floor as he pulled out needles after sharp needles and colourful, different, shades of liquids.

He swiftly tore Kurapika's tribal upper clothes without a care, tossing it aside carelessly as he focused on the needles. He slowly lowered it down, down and down... Until it lightly but firmly punctured the kuruta's skin. As Feitan traced the needle to form the figure of a twelve-legged spider, the pain hissed sharp and deep, like a trail of fire.

Blood occasionally oozed out, a dark, tinted liquid contrasting with the fair colour of Kurapika's skin. He, himself, was held captive by the other three people, their hands pressing down hard, preventing an escape. The tracing done, Feitan then retrieved the liquids, colouring the spider black and the number series white.

Which is number #11. Ubougin's.


"Nobunaga wont be happy with this... Danchou." Feitan mused.

"I know, I guaranteed he wont." Phinx agreed.

"Precisely." Machi added while looking at their Danchou whose walking towards the blonde.

"He's in pain." Kuroro said, referring to Kurapika.

"That's nothing." Feitan continued. "I'm going back to my room, since you didn't have anything to do with me anymore now, see ya." He went upstairs and closed the door.

"I'll handle him. Machi, Phinx, thanks for you help."

"Don't mention that, Danchou." Machi smiled and proceed to go upstairs, so does Phinx.

...

"You bastard...!"

"Ah, has the pain lessen up?"

"I'll definitely kill you...!"

"Hmm." Kuroro chuckled, he knelt forward and leaned towards the blonde. "You need to go through more." he whispered to his ear.

"You...!"

Scarlet eyes activated.

"Don't you...!"

Beginning to sit up.

"Play dumb...!"

Nen activated. Chains appeared.

"On me...!"

He swayed his dowsing chain to Kuroro, and he caught them easily.

"Looks like your conditions isn't stable yet."

As he pulled the chain, Kurapika was forced to move frward, bumping into Kuroro's chest. Kuroro took advantage and hugged Kurapika.

Kuroro slipped his arms inside his pocket to take out something.

'What's he planning this time?' Kurapika thought. When he was about to face sidewards to see at what Kuroro gonna take out, Kuroro's arm pushed his head so that they still attached to this chest, preventing him from looking.

Seconds ticked off the clock, his surroundings seemed frozen. His focus was still on Kuroro when suddenly his attention was caught by a sudden pinprick of pain, located at the base of his neck's backside.

"You...! What's this ...!?"

Kurapika felt something was flowing inside him.

"This is... injection?!"

"Huh..." the raven-haired man smirked.


Kurapika was drowning in darkness, drowning inside himself... Drowning in his own mind...

'I'll help you, come here.'

'Eh?' he could hear the sound of a man, someone seems to be familiar with him.

'Come here.'

Dazed, he drifted through the seemingly twisted, never-ending darkness, groping around, following the sounds. As he used the noises as a pathway, he found himself stepping out from the inevitable dark and into the bright circle of rays blinding white.

'Who are you?'

'You will know soon enough...'

'Why are you here?'

'To help you forget all those miserable things you've gone through.'

Those things made him remembered of his reminiscences of his past. His family massacred.

'Come here, I'll make you forget.'

Black covered his eyes, spurring his brain, swirling his thoughts. He felt as if he was in a trance, being hypnotized. He stepped forward rhythimically towards the man, stopping centimetres away from him, offering himself, giving up his awareness, his mind, his slipping soul.

As soons as, Kurapika was already there, that man placed his right arm in Kurapika's eyes, covering them.

'I'll help you forget... Everything. Don't worry.' A hint shows that 'that' man was actually smiling. Smirking. Grinning.


-Somewhere in the place no one knows about-

"Ah... How cruel of you to mix his memories, Kuroro..."

Hmm.. he smiled.

"Hihihi... That's right, you got my precious things with you. Take good care of them, both of them."

"And.. Until the time finally comes, I'll make you mine and destroy you like a puppet... Ufufufufu, how uncool~"


TBC~
