Chapter 2: Just call me Neon
A/N: (Disclaimers) As usual, Hunter x Hunter isn't mine. It is the property of Yoshihiro Togashi and no one else!!!
I apologize for making the previous chapter so short. I run out of ideas for the fic so I cut it there. Since I STILL don't have a head-full of ideas at the moment, this will be a bit short too. ^^X Thanks for reading the previous chapters! I really appreciate it! Please read, review and enjoy!!!

"Don't forget me..." Neon heard the ominous voice in her ear again. She whirled around nervously to look at the speaker, but she saw no one. She sighed. It was probably just the shock of her seeing her head bodyguard dead.
She continued to walk back to her car; she heard that eerie voice whisper in her ear again.
"Don't you leave me, Neon!" It yelled at her angrily.
This time, though not knowing what made her do it, she turned and yelled back, "STOP BOTHERING ME!!!"
People stared at her and looked a bit concerned about her sanity, as again, no one was there. Neon fumed silently as she went in her car.
She was in deep thought about some of the things that bothered her mind at the moment that she didn't notice the locks were being pushed down along with the screen that separated her from the driver in the front seat. She looked up and finally noticed.
"Wha-what is this!?" She stuttered nervously. She felt a cold rush of wind by her ear, but when she turned to see what was it, she saw nothing. This though, made her feel a bit queasy.
They seemed to take forever to reach Nostrad Hills. Neon quickly got out and rushed to her room. 'Something's definitely wrong with all of this! Urrggh!' She thought in exasperation as she slammed the door shut to her room. She plopped down on her bed and started to think again.
"Neon! Are you just planning to sit there all day???" A voice exclaimed. She jumped at the sound of it. There was something strangely familiar about that voice.
She looked around again for what seemed like the tenth time this day and heard it coming from her bathroom.
"Over here!" It called again. She followed the voice to the bathroom uncertainly. She went in and yelled back, trembling apprehensively.
"To the mirror..."
She looked and her eyes widened at what she saw.
"It...can't be..." She heard herself mumble incoherently.
The reflection in her old antique mirror was not her own but the fogy image of Kurapika. She must have jumped back twice because of this.
"A-aren't you...dead?" She uttered at the mirror.
"Hmmm...maybe." It replied.
"W-What???" She half-yelled back at it. It chuckled slightly at the look of pure terror on her features.
"Neon..." The shadowy face of Kurapika murmured.
"Are you here to pay me back for killing you?" Neon looked downcast, tears slightly streaming down her face.
"No...of course not. I was just here to...tell you something." He replied frowning as he said this. "I couldn't possibly die without telling you..."
"Telling me...what?" Neon said back, hanging on to every word he said.
"Suki yo." He stated simply, closing his eyes and smiling sadly. "What Leorio said...it wasn't true, was it?"
"No! It-it was not! I-I really do care for you, Kurapika." She sobbed, breaking down in front of him. "I have a-always admired how you-you handle things...I really like you."
His image lifted a ghostly gray hand to where her face was and slowly was starting to fade away. She grabbed the mirror helplessly and started shaking it madly.
"Don't go, Kurapika! Kurapika!" Her screams and sobs were in vain. He was gone.
~~~
'I've now realized how important it is to value human life because of you. I've realized how selfish I must have seemed. I will never forget you. I really love you, Kurapika. Aishiteru yo, forever and ever...'
~~~
Neon's eyes fluttered open at the sound of her alarm clock. She stared at it, dazed by the bright light from her window. She jumped out of bed instantly as soon as she remembered Kurapika. How could she have fallen asleep with all that's happened?
As she was busy pondering these thoughts when a maid entered to clean up. It was the same one who had informed her of Kurapika's tragic death. She rushed over to the maid.
"Kurapika! My head bodyguard's dead...right?" She faltered. The maid looked stunned.
"No, ma'am. I think he was ill and-hey! Miss Neon?" Neon sprinted out her room, still in her pajamas to call the driver.
She rode to the place in where Kurapika was resting and rushed in to the surprise of Gon, Killua, Senrithdsu, and Leorio.
"Kurapika! Where is he? He's not dead is he???" She inquired at them.
"What? Did someone call me?" Kurapika said, coming out of another room.
"Kurapika...I-I thought you died..."
"Died? Me? I was sick, but...honestly, can colds kill you? I really don't think so..."
"O-oh!" She said as realization hit her. It had all been a dream. A terrible one.
"Look, Neon-sama, if you want me back at work today I---" He was cut off by Neon's voice.
"Don't worry. It wasn't that...it's okay. You have the week off. Rest well, Kurapika." She said before closing the door behind her. "By the way, drop the 'sama'. Just call me Neon."
She smiled as she left, leaving the confused Kurapika to ponder her odd behavior. (Not to mention she was in her pajamas ^^v) She turned and uttered something more to them in addition.
"By the way, drop the 'sama'. Just call me Neon."
