Hinata: yay! A new chapter!

Kurapika: she owns no one -_-

Ina: don't be so mean about it brother!

Chapter seven.

Four people picked themselves off a smaller person, said person getting up himself.

As the four others turned around to go back to the car they heard a small muffled 'thump'

They all whirled around seeing the small blonde teen crumpled on the grass.

Leorio's pov:

''kurapika?'' we all shouted in unison.

I rushed over to him to discover he was sleeping.

I made a sarcastic face.

''well, this isn't a time for a nap kurapika…'' I said with a grin…he must be exhausted.

I scooped him up turning around and giving the three friends a reassuring smile.

I drove them home and put him in his room, thinking about how we were going to clean out the guest room for Ina…

Kurapika's pov:

The dark world of my eyelids turned into a slit of light as I opened my eye.

''mmn….'' I then shot up out of bed.

Were was i?

Where were the flesh collectors?

Then I felt a warm hand on my chest…I blinked…where was my shirt?

''calm down…'' Ina said smiling…wait…Ina?

''wha-?'' I started in confusion, ''wh—wheres my…?'' I started to ask.

''you have scratches that we had to treat also this.'' She pointed to bandages wrapped around my torso.

''wha…?'' I asked. ''you apparently fell on a larger piece of class, you must not have noticed because of your eye…''

''you're a mess….'' Leorio said smiling and bringing in a glass of water.

''thank you? I appreciate your compliments leorio…'' I said wincing when I tried to raise myself from the bed.

''don't move!'' Ina instructed and I sat back down.

As I did I remembered the events of earlier.

''Ina…your…your…'' I felt the tears welling up in my eye…

No! don't cry! What are you doing! Tears are for sadness! Not for happiness!

I thought angrily whipping my arm across my …

''Kurapika…it's alright…cry if you need to…'' Ina reassured me hugging my head against her chest.

My eye widened.

Kurapika…it's alright hunny, if you need to cry, cry. My mother reassured me as I looked at my bloodied knee angrily keeping the tears at bay.

I felt my mothers arms wrap themselves around my neck and she was hugging me.

I went limp against the embrace and let the sobs out.

After all I was only four.

I let my body go limp and pressed my face against her neck and squeezed my eye shut letting the tears fall from it.

After a minute of me keeping silent the sobs broke from my lips and I heard the door shut behind leorio as he left the room.

I felt my sister trembling slightly, then she was sobbing too.

After about ten minutes of us trying to be as silent as possible we looked at each other.

''wipe your nose Ina…'' I said sniffling.

''your face is all pale.'; she said smiling as she grabbed a tissue.

''and yours is all red…'' I said laghing.

''we are different after all huh sister?'' I laughed patting her head.

''yet the same.'' We said in unison.

Just then I gasped. ''y-your hair!'' I said touching the once flowing locks.

''I was going to say the same to you!'' she said grinning.

''it used to be alittle longer than that!'' she said cheerfully.

''but…yours was down to the ground! What happened?'' I asked surprised by my not noticing before hand.

''uh..brother it's called a barber!'' she laughed and then I did too.

''you two done reminiscing?'' leorio asked.

''yup!'' Ina said jumping up, leorio looked startled.

''oh..i see she didn't act like herself before you found me then?'' I asked looking up at Ina suspiciously.

''no…I was quiet and didn't talk much!'' she said smiling while shutting her eyes.

''wow..i didn't think you had it in you sis!'' I said getting up…well trying…

But epic failing.

I fell, leaning against my sister she laughed. ''forget again brother?'' she asked putting my arm over her shoulder.

Leorio blinked.

''what?'' I asked.

''I can't tell who's the girl unless you talk!'' he said smileing knowing I couldn't tackle him.

''grrrr….'' We both growled then looked at each other in ammusment.

''well I think that it's time to figure out what Ina wants in her room…'' leorio said once we reached the kitchen with much difficulty.

She blinked. ''what?'' she asked tears already welling up in her eyes.

''well, seeing as we can't really let you live on the streets anymore…'' leorio explained

''i-i…'' she stuttered.

I was smiling from ear to ear…which is saying a lot, seeing as I didn't smile much…

''sister?'' I asked looking at her hopefully.

''well what do you want in your room?'' leorio asked again not waiting for an agreement to stay, he knew she would.

''oh! You don't have to—'' she started

''don't even…we're giving you a room. That's that!'' leorio said a pen and paper in hand. '' now what do you like? I trust you like books like your brother?'' Ina made a face.

''no! I hate books! Ugh, all that studying as a child just made me sick of them!'' she said crinkling her nose.

Leorio blinked again. I was starting to wonder how he was blinking so fast.

''oh…then..what…?'' he asked

'' I like sketching! And stuff like that!'' she announced. I groaned. Of course she liked sketching! She was psychic, that's how she got her visions out, was on paper…

Yes..i said psychic…apparently her powers were still weak seeing as it took her so long to find me, or to know I had survived…

''oh..well alright! We will move you in to that room as soon as we buy a bed alright? For the time being, are you alright with the couc—'' before he could finish she had tackled him sobbing and wailing her thanks.

Oh man…this was such a crying day….

TBC…
