Disclaimer: Hunter X Hunter dose not belong to me, neither do any of its
characters. I am just a fan of the series who likes it enough to spend time
writing fanfiction on it ^^ so enjoy and such =P
Additional Notes: Okay you may want to read this before starting into the story. As you might want to be informed that for this particular series of HxH fanfiction I am writing, Kurapika is a girl. I've done plenty of fics with Kurapika as a guy (and fics where you just don't know what he is) and I wanted to write one with Kurapika as a girl. So if you have a problem with that, don't read simple as that.
This fic also deals with the tender area of Kurapika's past =/ I know it's not an easy thing to write about and pass off as believable but I will try my best to see if I can make a past for Kurapika that will work and not distort the story too much. I also know that this isn't the first time a fic on Kura-chan's past has been produced, but I still think that it will defiantly hold some kind of originality in it.
Oh yes, I almost forgot, there is a paring in here. sorta I guess. Kurapika X Kuroro
Keep in mind that this is also my first time writing a fic that's not a humor fic YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED with all that said and done (I believe that is everything) enjoy the story ^^
Hunter X Hunter Can You Remember Tears?
Chapter Four
"It's you again." Kuroro looks up from his book to again lock eyes with the young Kurata.
Kurapika walks up to him tilting her head to the side. "Another book? Where did you get this one? Do you have a bag full of them somewhere?"
Kuroro smiles as he closes his book and stands up. Looking down at her. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to visit you. I'm glad you're still here. I would fell bad if you left without me getting the chance to thank you." She holds her arms behind her back closing her eyes and speaking softly. "Thank you. You got me out of a lot of trouble by helping me get home last night."
Kuroro couldn't help but grin at the younger girl's politeness. Kurapika continued, her expression turning slightly annoyed. "But. why did you have to leave me outside in the rain? I could have gotten sick!"
Kuroro smirked, shaking his head as he sat back down and opened his book to continue reading. "Would you have preferred that I left you here?"
Kurapika gingerly shook her head. "No." She walks up next to Kuroro sitting down beside him. "How long will you be here? You're still here after all. if you had started walking in the morning you would be long gone by now."
"I don't know how long I'll be here. It should be too long."
"Are you waiting for someone?"
Kuroro narrowed his eyes. "More so. waiting for something to happen."
Kurapika looks puzzled by the comment. "Waiting for something to happen? What's going to happen around here?"
Kuroro looks up from his book back at Kurapika. "What happen to your hair?"
Kurapika scratches the back of her neck. "I got into an argument with someone and they cut it on me. don't worry though they got into more trouble then I did."
"Is that so?"
Kurapika gets to her feet, dusting herself off. "Anyway. I have to get back now. Hisa-sensei will get angry if I don't show up today. especially after what happened yesterday." She waves to him as she leaves. "I'll come later."
Kuroro watches the younger girl leave quietly. "I hadn't expected to be found so easily." He sighs hanging his head, looking to the side. "But. how can I get rid of her when she's not my opponent and is just wandering around?" He turns his attention back to his book. "At least she's not that bad. I would hate to have been spotted by a noisier kid."
*******
"1, 2. 1, 2. Put your backs into it girls, 1, 2, 1, 2." Hisa stood in front of the group, clapping her hands in a rhythm for them to follow as they washed laundry.
Sakri grumbled miserably. "Cooking is one thing. sewing is one thing. cleaning is one thing. washing clothes is one thing. but." He cries out in frustration holding his head in the air. "Doing them all at once!? That's insane!!!"
Kurapika worked beside him, and seemed to be doing just fine. "Hisa- sensei's multitasking classes are a little stressful when you first start. but after a couple of years-"
"YEARS!?!?"
Kurapika sighs as she calmly tries to catch Sakri's attention. "Sakri. Sakri. Sakri listen to me for a second. Sakri."
"This is impossible!! I bet she can't even do it! And she's making us do it!"
"Sakri!! Will you listen to me! Your timer!"
Sakri frowned turning back to her. "Timer?" He looks at his side to see a small timer ringing. "AHHH!!! How long has that been making noise!?"
Kurapika shook her head. "Almost two minuets I think."
"Why doesn't someone tell me these things!? Na! What the hell what that timer for anyways?"
"You're food."
"Food? AHHHH My cooking!!" He quickly runs back, knocking the washing bucket over, splashing water all over Kurapika.
Kurapika sighed as she silently whipped the soap out of her eyes. "Baka."
"It's all smoking!!"
Hisa frowned over at him. "Start over, none of you are leaving each and every one of you have done this properly."
The girls sigh as they look over at one another. "We have to wait for them to finish. but we're almost done. even Kurapika looks close to being finished."
Hisa turns towards the girls in shock. "You three are finish, that's not a shock to me, but Kurapika??" She turns to see Kurapika's meal already done, her area cleaned, the mending finished and Kurapika herself, doing the last task, hanging the laundry to dry. "Unbelievable."
She runs up to Kurapika grabbing her from behind and holding her in her arms. "Amazing, you where able to do it so quickly and with so little mistakes today!!! You must have had some real motivation."
"Motivation." Kurapika smiled slightly, she had wanted to finish so that she could go and pay a visit to Kuroro again. Of course he would probably just be reading the whole time she was there, but still. it was just nice to be able to see someone different, the clan barely got visitors of any sort, and it had been the first time Kurapika had actually got to talk to someone outside her clan. "I guess so."
Hisa could never be more proud of her worst student then she was at this moment. "Kurapika you're finally growing up!" She frowned holding her away from her when she realized Kurapika was soaking wet, and in turn making her robes soaked as well. "Why are you so wet?"
Kurapika looks over at Sakri, who was not fighting with another of his many tasks. "Sakri splashed me with the water from the washing tub when he-"
"Splashed you!?!? Sakri splashed you with water!? The boys just won't stop picking on you will they??"
"Actually-"
She set Kurapika down. "Go on, you girls are finished. You're all good girls, you don't have to stay here with the nasty boys. Don't worry Hisa-sensei will make good work of them."
The girls laugh as they quickly turn and run away, glad to not having to be forced to stay any longer. Kurapika smiles warmly to herself. "I'm finished. I have the rest of the day to do whatever I please."
*******
Kuroro smiles pleasantly at Kurapika. "You've come back."
Kurapika stops in front of him blushing slightly. "I said that I would come back. I should come and see you before you leave right? You're a traveler after all."
"That's right." He looks back at his book. "I won't stay here forever."
Kurapika sits down again watching him. "What do you do here all day? Just read?"
"No, I have ways of occupying myself."
Kurapika looks up at Kuroro with interest. She didn't know why she wanted to know so much about him. "What have you call all this way far? Just to wait for something to happen? Is this something important? What's going to happen? What is it to you I mean?"
Kuroro smiles to himself. "I will get something that I want."
"Oh? What's that?"
"A unique treasure. One of the wonders of the world."
"Wonders of the world? Wow. it must be great."
*******
"Goodnight." The younger Kurata members chimed as Ichiro dimmed the light, putting them to bed.
Ichiro turned to all of them before leaving the room. "Don't cause a ruckus this time! If I have to come in here one more time to get you to settle down!"
"Nami started the fight last time! She threw her futon at my head!"
"You called me a baby! You started it!!"
Ichiro sighs as he tries to calm them down again. "Stop arguing. you're supposed to be sleeping."
"But I'm not tired."
"To bad. you don't have a choice." Ichiro sticks his tongue out as the youngsters, teasing them on their misfortune of having to sleep earlier then he, he then leaves closing the door behind him.
Kurapika looks over at Sakri, asking the question that had been nagging her all day. "Hey. what did you want to talk to me about? It sounded important."
Sakri moans looking over at her, he looks rather stressed from the long day. "Ha? Talk to you? I thought I said I would tomorrow."
Kurapika sighs, Sakri always seemed to misunderstand things when he was so tired. "You did! I'm just confused as to why you would want to talk to me like that. You set up something like that for a reason right? It's not a normal conversation."
Sakri nods his head. "Yeah, I have something good to tell you."
"Good? What do you mean by that?"
One of the other boys in the room point at the two jokingly. "Hey! Kurapika! Sakri's going to confess to you!?"
Kurapika's face turned a deep red. "Confess to me!? Ten you idiot!! Why would Sakri do something like that."
Sakri yawns rolling over to sleep. "Don't make me kick you ass Ten, it nothing like that. just a normal conversation before I leave."
Kurapika lifts her head when she hears this. "Leave?"
Sakri grumbles as he slowly drifts off to sleep. "Damn Hisa-sensei. saying I was doing everything wrong. she must have made me redo everything about a million times. tired."
Kurapika's question remains unanswered and Sakri drifts into sleep. Kurapika does the same, closing her eyes and trying to go to sleep. "Leaving? Is Sakri going on a trip?" It wasn't the first time Sakri had left the village, after all he was a boy, the boys where always taking trips all over the place to get or do things and work. It the girls like here that seldom left the comfort of the village. But Sakri had never chosen to talk to her before leaving before.
There was the sound of someone getting hit as a futon again goes flying, shortly followed by whining. "Ichiro-sensei!! Nami did it again!!"
******
Ichiro sighs in frustration as he shuts the door behind him. "Hopefully they'll sleep this time. Why does this always have to be so difficult? I wasn't nearly as annoying as these kids when I was put to bed."
Takara laughs. "How could you say that? You where one of the worst!"
Ichiro walks over to Takara sitting in a chair next to hers. "How was Kurapika? She wasn't upset over her hair was she?"
"That girl? Of course not, was quiet cooperative when I was cutting her hair too, even joked about the incident."
Ichiro sighs again, holding his head. "I only turned my head for a moment. Ahhhhh Hisa-sensei went on forever about it."
"She appealed to have you removed from your position again."
"What else is new? I don't think a day had passed where she hasn't. Picky." He looks back over at the door leading to the supposedly sleeping younger members of the clan. "I wonder how long it'll be till I have to go in there and calm them down again."
Takara closes her eyes, her expression changing. "I've heard another rumor."
Ichiro's eyes leave the door and turn to her. "Rumor? Another body?"
Takara shakes her head. "Someone mention that there where some people wandering about, asking them about crimson eyes."
Ichiro mouth the words out slowly. "Crimson eyes? Why would someone be looking for crimson eyes?"
"I don't know. but it worries me. The Kurata clan are the people of the crimson eyes, these people are looking for us." She turned her gaze to her hands on her lap. "I know it's probably nothing, and I'm just worried over nothing. After all I could just be over reaction over the roomers. but that doesn't change the fact that someone is looking for our clan."
Ichiro interrupts her before she can say anymore. "Alright, I get the picture. I keep a closer eye on them."
"Thank you. I would be devastated if something where to happen to them."
*******
Kurapika stood at the edge of the lake waiting patiently. "What's taking him so long? You think that if he had something important to say he would have come quickly."
"Surprise attack!!" Kurapika turns just in time to see Sakri jump her from out of nowhere, pummeling into her and knocking her back into the water.
Kurapika glares over at the grinning Sakri. "What do you think you're doing!? Calling me over here then pushing me into the water!" She grabs onto Sakri's arm, pulling and flipping him over into the water, then dunking his head in. "I thought you had something important to tell me!"
Kurapika is pulled under the water and Sakri grabs onto her leg, pulling her under and himself up. She smiles she he sees Kurapika's angry expression surface. "You gotta do something about you're feet, you always leave them un guarded for attack."
Kurapika spits water in his face. "You."
Sakri dunks her head back under the water. "Lets get out of the water."
"Idiot! You're the one that put us here in the first place!"
The two drag them selves to the edge, Sakri pulling himself out first. He stands up, watching Kurapika pull herself out. ".I'm leaving soon."
Kurapika sits down by the waters edge, trying to get the water off of her. "Leaving? For how long?"
"I don't know. I may never come back"
Kurapika stops, looking over at Sakri. She hadn't been expecting a response like that. "Never come back. why? What are you leaving for?"
Sakri smiles as he turns looking at Kurapika with a proud expression. "Hunter."
"Hunter?" Kurapika had heard very little about the people called hunters, and knew almost nothing about them despite the fact that they where strong and well recognizes and/or feared.
"I'm going to become a hunter. A Blacklist Hunter" He lowers his head, starting to explain more. "Once a become a hunter, I'll be very busy. I don't know if I'll be able to come back here." He looks to the side. "I know it'll be a long time. but it's my dream."
Kurapika looks down at the ground. "I see." One of her closest friends would be leaving to become a hunter, and even he didn't know how long it would take. She looks back up at him. "When are you leaving?"
"Kurapika, I want you to come with me!"
Sakri had said another thing that Kurapika hadn't been expecting. "Come with you?" Did he fully understand what he was asking her?
"Of course, you're good, you've got a lot of fighting potential! It should be no problem for you. You'd be one of the best. We'll become hunters together."
Kurapika slowly gets to her feet, fighting. he was leaving everything, the entire Kurata clan to go and fight. "I'm good at fighting. but I don't like fighting. I only fight when I need to."
"Still."
Kurapika shakes her head. Why would Sakri want to go and be something like that? The clan was supposed to stick together, to never be apart. Why would he leave for such a title? "Why do you want to leave and become a hunter anyways?"
Sakri clenches his first. "Hunters are powerful people, I want to be powerful. I want to be able to protect everyone who's close to me. Like you Kurapika."
Kurapika crosses her arms, turning to the side. "I don't need you to protect me."
"Please come with me!"
Kurapika lowers her head. She couldn't do something like that, even if she wanted to go, she would only end up being in Sakri's way. "I can't go. Becoming a hunter is your dream. but it's not mine. I don't want to be a hunter. I can't leave the clan. I have to stay here."
Sakri nods his head in understanding. "That's okay. I understand." He smiles placing his hand on her head. "Then I'll come back for sure. I have to visit you don't I?"
Kurapika slowly nods her head. "I guess so."
"Hey, cheer up, don't be too upset about me leaving."
Kurapika stubbornly turns away. "I'm not upset. Why would I be upset over you leaving? Klutz!"
Sakri laughs. "Maybe one day you'll change your mind. If you do, I'll be at the finish line waiting for you."
END OF CHAPTER
Ara. so tired u.u time for me to sleep soon ^^ but I finally got another chapter finished ^_^v. I'm glad that people have been liking this story so far ^_^ it's great to hear people say so many good things about it ^^ Think will begin to pick up In the next chapters though.
Comment on this chapter. Kuroro's kind friendly, but as I observed in the manga and TV series, he's nice to people he wants something from (like Neon) and although he really doesn't want anything from Kurapika, he still is tolerant towards her.

"This is impossible!! I bet she can't even do it! And she's making us do it!"

"You're food."
"Food? AHHHH My cooking!!" He quickly runs back, knocking the washing bucket over, splashing water all over Kurapika.

"It's all smoking!!"
Hisa frowned over at him. "Start over, none of you are leaving each and every one of you have done this properly."

Kurapika stood at the edge of the lake waiting patiently. "What's taking him so long? You think that if he had something important to say he would have come quickly."

Kurapika sits down by the waters edge, trying to get the water off of her. "Leaving? For how long?"
"I don't know. I may never come back"
Kurapika stops, looking over at Sakri. She hadn't been expecting a response like that. "Never come back. why? What are you leaving for?"
Sakri smiles as he turns looking at Kurapika with a proud expression. "Hunter."
"Hunter?" Kurapika had heard very little about the people called hunters, and knew almost nothing about them despite the fact that they where strong and well recognizes and/or feared.
"I'm going to become a hunter. A Blacklist Hunter" He lowers his head, starting to explain more. "Once a become a hunter, I'll be very busy. I don't know if I'll be able to come back here." He looks to the side. "I know it'll be a long time. but it's my dream."
Kurapika looks down at the ground. "I see." One of her closest friends would be leaving to become a hunter, and even he didn't know how long it would take. She looks back up at him. "When are you leaving?"
"Kurapika, I want you to come with me!"
Sakri had said another thing that Kurapika hadn't been expecting. "Come with you?" Did he fully understand what he was asking her?
"Of course, you're good, you've got a lot of fighting potential! It should be no problem for you. You'd be one of the best. We'll become hunters together."
Kurapika slowly gets to her feet, fighting. he was leaving everything, the entire Kurata clan to go and fight. "I'm good at fighting. but I don't like fighting. I only fight when I need to."
"Still."
Kurapika shakes her head. Why would Sakri want to go and be something like that? The clan was supposed to stick together, to never be apart. Why would he leave for such a title? "Why do you want to leave and become a hunter anyways?"
Sakri clenches his first. "Hunters are powerful people, I want to be powerful. I want to be able to protect everyone who's close to me. Like you Kurapika."
Kurapika crosses her arms, turning to the side. "I don't need you to protect me."
"Please come with me!"
Kurapika lowers her head. She couldn't do something like that, even if she wanted to go, she would only end up being in Sakri's way. "I can't go. Becoming a hunter is your dream. but it's not mine. I don't want to be a hunter. I can't leave the clan. I have to stay here."
Sakri nods his head in understanding. "That's okay. I understand." He smiles placing his hand on her head. "Then I'll come back for sure. I have to visit you don't I?"
Kurapika slowly nods her head. "I guess so."
"Hey, cheer up, don't be too upset about me leaving."
Kurapika stubbornly turns away. "I'm not upset. Why would I be upset over you leaving? Klutz!"
Sakri laughs. "Maybe one day you'll change your mind. If you do, I'll be at the finish line waiting for you."
END OF CHAPTER
Ara. so tired u.u time for me to sleep soon ^^ but I finally got another chapter finished ^_^v. I'm glad that people have been liking this story so far ^_^ it's great to hear people say so many good things about it ^^ Think will begin to pick up In the next chapters though.
Comment on this chapter. Kuroro's kind friendly, but as I observed in the manga and TV series, he's nice to people he wants something from (like Neon) and although he really doesn't want anything from Kurapika, he still is tolerant towards her.
