Chapter Four: My Date Plan Is Prophesied Part II

K A O R I

I looked down, pressing my fingers into my temples in fear and anxiety. "Oh God, she's gonna kill me. I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna-"

"Please, stop, she's not going to kill you. Just calm down, and try not to worry,"

I looked at Kurapika is distress, "But you don't… ugh… you just, you don't understand!"

"I understand plenty, can you please just try to chill out?"

"I mean… I guess. Maybe some games will take my mind off it." I stood up, pushing my hair away from my eyes.

"See? That's the spirit. What do you wanna play first?" Kurapika took my hand and began walking towards the games area of the carnival.

"Oh, I know! Let's play, 'Spying On Niumi to Make Sure She Doesn't Get Kidnapped By a Sketchy Male!' " I looked at Kurapika with a face that said, "Let's do it!" But he wasn't so amused.

"No. You're gonna play a dart game with me and stop worrying about her and Killua."

I bent over, letting out a groan. "Fine. But I won't have any fun while I do it."

"I'd rather have you do that. It seems much easier to handle."

"Wow. I take offense to that." I let go of his hand and crossed my arms, huffing.

"Now I see where Niumi gets her sarcasm and childish ways from." Kurapika laughed, the ends of his lips bent into a small smile.

I ignored his comment and gripped his hand again, running towards the dart game. "Let's go-o-o-o!"

XXXX

"I really suck at darts, don't I?" I asked, walking away from the smug looking employee, all my tickets in his possession.

"I guess, I mean-"

"Wait, wait. Shut up for a sec." I pointed to a couple in the distance, hand in hand, smiling brightly. "Look. It's Niumi and Killua… but they're having fun?"

Kurapika looked to where I was pointing, and sure enough it was Niumi and Killua laughing and having fun.

"So? That's good, right?" He asked, an oblivious look on his face.

"No! I mean… yeah? I think that it's a good thing." I started walking towards them, but Kurapika held my shoulder back.

"Don't."

"Why? I feel like a proud mother right now! I need to go congratulate my baby! Wait." I stopped in my tracks, crossing my arms. "Why am I happy? He's probably seducing her!" I shouted angrily, earning looks from everyone around me.

"You will do no such thing. You will not ruin their date, because then Killua will get scared off and never go around her again."

"Oh, what do you know?" I shot back, shaking off his grip and began running towards Niumi.

"Kaori, wait!" Kurapika screamed, his light footsteps following me.

"Niumi!" I screamed, crashing into her.

Niumi turned to me. "Who called my- oh God!" Niumi screamed, falling onto the hard black dirt with a thud.

"Oh, this girl again!" Killua complained, looking down at me with an annoyed look.

"Yes, it is 'this girl again!' " I shot back, standing up, leaving Niumi in a pile on the dirt.

"I thought you and Kurapika left!" Killua said, his annoyance turning into sarcasm and more annoyance.

"You really think I would leave my precious baby alone with a guy like you?"

"A guy like me? What's that supposed to-"

"I mean, sure, yeah, go ahead and argue. I'll just be here on the ground tending to my bruises."

"Oh, crap, yeah. Here, I'll help you-" Killua started. I stepped in front of him, outstretching my hand to Niumi's.

"I will help her up. For all I know, you'd just drop her!" I said, shooting Killua a dirty look.

"Whatever, like I care. I was going anyways. Niumi, thanks for the okay-ish night. I'll be texting you." Killua nodded to Niumi, shoving his hands into his pockets and walking out of the fairgrounds.

"I- uh, okay. Bye, I guess." Niumi said, waving to Killua's back.

"I'm gonna go too. Thanks for the night, Kaori." Kurapika said before turning and walking in the same direction as Killua.

"Bye Kurapika!" I smiled before looking back at Niumi angrily. "You gave him your number! Why would you do that?"

Niumi put her hands up in defense. "You don't understand-"

I pulled on her ear, dragging her back to the parking lot. "You are in big trouble, Missy!"

"Ow, ow, ow! Kaori, please don't! I can't stand another one of your lectures!" Niumi pleaded, tugging on my flannel.

"Well, it's too late for that! You're getting one whether you like it or not!

Niumi started swatting my lower back. "At least let go of my ear!"

"No!"
