Kurapika-sama: Oh goody. Who?
Princess Floréa: Guess.
Kurapika-sama: ... Yami Blue? Haven't seen her around for a long time... fairygurl? Nah... I KNOW!!!
Floraleon: I sure hope so...
Kurapika-sama: BRITNEY SPEARS!!!
Princess Floréa: *facefault* Uh... no. Drumroll please.
Floraleon: *bangs on the drums*
Princess Floréa: ARIANE!!!
Kurapika-sama: *facefaults*
Ariane: *flies in* Hi!
Princess Floréa: Hello! Welcome to the Princess F Radio Show! (A/N: I'm listening to the Ellen K Radio Show right now)
Ariane: I'd really like to stay and chat, but I have to go and harass Kurapika-sama right now.
Kurapika-sama: Sweet Mother of Jesus, no...
Floraleon: Not you, dolt! The real Kurapika!
Kurapika-sama: I'm not a dolt!
Ariane: Well, bye-bye then. *flies away*
Kurapika-sama: ...
Death Angel
Chapter Six: Sacrifice?
*** *** *** ***
"Kurapika-san, I have something to show you." The
voice of the Great One rumbled through the room.
"What is it?"
"Memories long forgotten. Close your eyes."
Kurapika closed his eyes. A few images flashed before
him.
...Gon... The lively
optimist—
Killua... A spiky-haired
ex-assassin—
Leorio... His best friend...
"Ariane is correct. They need you."
"This isn't a plot to 'fire' me, is it?"
"It's not, it's not. Do you want to rejoin them?"
Kurapika didn't answer.
"It will require a sacrifice."
"A sacrifice..." Kurapika repeated the words blankly.
"You may go now. Think about it."
"What?"
"I heared everything! And I know what the sacrifice is!"
Kurapika turned to look at the twelve-year old angel. "Are you another eavesdropper?"
"Of course not!" Ariane said indignantly. "I was only passing and I overheard. Come see what I found!" She dragged a vexed Kurapika towards the library, where she comanded, "Sit."
Kurapika did as told, oblivious that the other angels in the library were staring, astonished that a Death Angel would be ordered around by Ariane.
"Aha!" Ariane whirled around with a heavy book in her hands. Too heavy. She toppled off the ladder. Luckily, Kurapika caught her. "Look!" Ariane pointed to a page.

MEMORY POTION
(Angel Version)
~*~
Use: To restore memory and regain permanent human form
~*~
*A small vial of the angel's blood
*A sacrifice: The angel's wings
~*~
Directions: Boil the blood in a pot. When it bubbles, the
wings must be sliced off the angel's wings. Must be the
whole wing, no stubs left on the back. The wings and
blood must be simmered in the pot together. When the
liquid in the pot becomes clear, the angel must drink it.
~*~
After drinking the victim may become unconcious for a while.
~*~
Two everlasting scars will be left on the back.
***********************************************
"My wings?" Kurapika whispered, glancing at the glossy
dark feathers on his back. "Why?"
"To regain human form, of course. Humans don't have
wings." Ariane said in a know-it-all voice.
"And what's with the blood?"
"Something easy to forget, little pain, won't be
missed. Unlike an arm or leg."
"How do you know all this?"
"That's for me to know and you to find out."
Princess Floréa: It's NOT!!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THAT?!
Kurapika-sama: Temper, temper. Tsk, tsk, tsk. OUCH!!! *gets a noogie from Princess Floréa*
Princess Floréa: Noogie, noogie. As long as you're going to act like Shin-chan, I'm going to give you noogies.
Kurapika-sama: Mommy!
Princess Floréa: Uh... no...
