Chapter 3
I hope it is…
~*~*~*~
Narrator: Kurapica
Laying on the bed, I took the object in my cabinet, and, lift it. What am I doing… I can't just give it to her… Yeah... I just can't give it that easily… since okaa- sama gave this precious necklace to me before she died… she told me that… I shook my head. Kurapica… Kurapica…your just over hallucinating about her… I stood, putting the necklace back to my cabinet. I take my coat. Maybe, walk can make me FEEL better. And continue myself, outside.
~*~*~*~
Narrator: Neon
"Neon, I wish I could see you this days, but my works is more important. I hope you'll understand" said on the other line. Frowning a bit, I made a small laugh, "Mou, Otou- sama… You don't have to… cause I understand you…" I lied. The truth is, I'm a bit jealous about his work. Since I was kid, he always don't have a time for me to do what most parents and children's do… So that why I grew like this, a childish brat.
I heard on the phone that, Otou- sama messing with his papers, "So, then, arigatou Neon. I always knew that your such an understanding daughter, lets talk again next time, bye" then, he hung the phone.
Putting the phone over my desk, I set my knees beneath my chin, and held them tightly in my arms. I sighed. "He even don't have time to say "I love you" to me…" I said to myself. I wish, Otousama was like Shizuku's father… he have time to talk and laugh with Shizuku' and her mother, even though he got a lot of works to do…
Tootoot~tootoot~tootoot~ (cell phone text received)
Looking at my side, I took my cell besides me, and open the message, hoping that it was Machi or Shizuku, or… "Kurapica?" I surprisingly exclaimed. Kurapica? Texting me? Oh bother, I don't have a mood to text--"
"Hi, its Kurapica. Sorry for bothering you in your work, but… I'm planning that… if you would care to join me at Sorakara park at 4 pm? Its fine if you don't but… I hope you'll do…"
Kurapica… Now that I've got a problem with my otou- sama, you'll asking me for that? Why not text to him 'Gomen, Kurapica, I just can't go making fun outside, while my mind is a bit furious, maybe… tell me at school, okay?'
I raised my brows, shooking my head. No, no, no, NO! I don't want Kurapica to look like an idiot! He wants to be my friend and I don't want his trust to be ruined… Again, I sighed. But this was different. "I've already decided" I said.

Narrator: Kurapica
Looking at my watch…"It's already 5 pm… and she's still not here…" I said to myself. Before, Sorakara park is crowded, but now… it seems that birds are the only one accompanying me… I laugh weakly. I'm a real idiot, maybe I shouldn't have come. I was planning to walk back, but suddenly…
"Kurapica! Wait!"
Someone calls my name. Its really familiar… As I turn, I saw… "Neon…" I whispered. I waited for her, until she reach me. She breathed roughly, looking down. I made a small smile, I'm glad... Neon… I twist a bit, to be at her level before asking her… "You alright?" I asked. She look at me, making her last exhausted breath, "Uhn… I'm fine now… its been long since I run this long. Sorry, if I'm late… I was just… thinking of other things, so, it takes a long decision, before I decided" Neon answered.
We stood, and walk a bit… in silence. I just can't ask her about that… she may think that I am a know-it-all person type… Looking at my watch, "Why not have a snack with me? Its already mid- afternoon, and its nice to have one" I suggested. She smiled to me, and nodded.
We've been talking until now. She was really… happy "Hontou ni Arigatou! I really had a good time with you!"
I smiled at her, "It's really not a big deal, by the way, I was planning to go at Gon's place… if you don't care… I'll take you home… again?" She looked at me, blushing in red, "Oh… yeah… how kind of yours…" she said, and continued are walk… in silence, until I asked her… "Is any problems back there?"
She stopped, and look back at me, "W- What do you mean…?" She asked curiously. I stopped myself on walking, and made a you-can-tell-me-about-your-problem look. She sighed, and look at her way. "It was all about my Otou- sama…" Neon trailed.
"Otou- sama? So, what about him?"
"I'm mad at Otou- sama. He always don't have time to visit me, or call me… he was to royal at his job. Job can wait anytime, everytime, but for family…"
"Why not try to tell him what you feel. Its really good to tell someone what you feel, I'd once do that"
"I once tried it, Kurapica, but it didn't work. He really wasn't like that at all, until my Okaa- sama died"
"Your Okaa- sama's already died?"
"Yeah…"
"I'm sorry…"
"No you don't have to…"
Silence.
"I know what you feel when your Okaa- sama died. It's really hard for me to take over that incident…"
"Your Okaa- sama died in a accident?"
"Not 'accident', an 'incident'… I was only 10, when my mother told me that she was near to… death. It was really shocking for me… for my Otou- sama. We tried everything to make her feel well, but, it didn't succeed. The disease was already in level 2 which is hard to be healed. I'm cursing myself, but Okaa- sama was still cheerful as she is, she told me that I mustn't cry for her cause… she loves me… and then she died. I was silent on the side, in all day since she died, telling that… I'm to late to her that I really love her so much…"
"Sonna…"
"That's why, I promised to myself that if someday… that I would love someone… I'll promise to myself that I would never let her go, even if she got the disease like my mother, cause I don't want that to happen… again"
"Kurapica…" Neon said, trying to hide her eyes… she look at the sun, now in a sunset… her eyes lit up in cheer, "Ne, Kurapica, mitte! The sunset is really wonderful!!" She exclaimed. We both watched the sunset in silence… "Ne, Kurapica…"
"Hmm?"
"Hontou ni arigatou…"
"You really don't have to thank me…"
"No, I have to! You really helped me a lot!"
"Sou ka…"
"I'm really glad that I got a friend which is… you… I hope this would be forever…"
Surprised at what she said, I look at her in long moment, and smiled…
"I hope it is…"
Suzuku! (To be continued!) ^^Ending note: Hi to all of you! I'm just sorry for putting this in late! I'm really busy this days, and don't got a time to write this chapter ^^ but, hope that my writing would never waste, if you'll continue on sending reviews! Hontou ni arigatou for supporting this pairing! Ja!
Explanation: "Sorakara" means "That's why its heaven/sky". This park was all just made up by mine, so there is NO park like that in Japan. Since Neon and Kurapica were talking about there mother who had died, I just thought that name ^^
