K-chan is a very kind hearted person, who is willing to help anyone in need. She has devoted her life to helping and protecting other. Relationship and romance are out of the question when it comes to her. As she wishes to remain pure and devoted only to helping those in need. Clams to be Kura's sister but in reality, knows very little about Kura past... perhaps they grew up separated?

Kura: Are you sure?

Customer: I'm positive, some guy is wandering all over the place asking about blonde girls with brown eyes.

Kura: He's centering around this area then...

Customer: Not really... he seems to be everywhere. He travels a lot I guess, so he must have asked a lot of people already.

Kura: ... I see... *she looks nervous*

Customer: Is something wrong?

*Suki is at the side watching everything*

Kura: No...

*Later Suki is discussing the situation with the others*

Kurion: Wonder' why Pika would be bothered by such information. It sounds as if she was listening to something she didn't want to hear.

Cider: Bothered by hearing someone it looking for a blonde with brown eyes?

K-chan: Kura is actually the only girl I've seen with those feature. So it's most likely this person is looking for her.

Suki: Pika is obviously avoiding him for some reason.

Vincent: Avoiding? Why would Pika avoid anyone? It's she the type to beat the crap out of people that bother her?

Suki: Whatever the reason she's avoiding him for must be a good reason.

Kurion: We should keep an eye out for this guy.

K-chan: Really?

Kurion: This rumor is really bothering Pika, and like Suki said. Pika wouldn't be bothered without a reason.

Vincent: Does Pika really want people looking after her? She doesn't seem the person to let people help her with her personal problems.

K-chan: It doesn't mater! We're her friends! Of course we're going to look after her is something's wrong!

*Lucifer walk past them into the bar*

Suki: Mr.Kuroro...

Vandal: ...

*Kura looks rather stressed, Lucifer walks up to her sitting down and staring at her with a serious look in her face*

Lucifer: Kura...

Kura: What? You're here again? You don't even drink why do you keep coming back?

Lucifer: We need to talk.

Kura: Talk about what?

Lucifer: In the back where there aren't so many people.

Kura: What? What is this about?

Lucifer: The Clark Brothers.

*Kura's eyes narrow and she remains silent for a while*

Kura: ...

Lucifer: Kura!

*Kura puts everything down and walk out from behind the bar*

Kura: This way...

Cider: This looks serious...

Kurion: Clark?

K-chan: They're going to the back. What are they going to talk about?

*all turn to Suki*

Suki: ...

Suki: No way! I'm not going to spy on them!!! If one of them finds out they'll BOTH kill me!!!

Cider: You have to!! You can hide the best because you're so small!

Suki: But they're going to hurt me T.T...

Vandal: I'll go... *she vanishes from sight*

Cider: Oh yes... that's right...

Calico: WHERE DID THE BARTENDER GO!?!? I WANT MY DRINKS!!!

Everyone: ...

*where Kura and Kuro are*

Lucifer: Do you know a certain swordsman?

Kura: I know plenty... lots come by

Lucifer: Particularly a swordsman of the Clark brothers.

Kura: I don't know anyone from the Clark brothers.

Lucifer: If that was true why do you get so nervous at the sound of their name?

Kura: I don't know what you're talking about.

Lucifer: Kura...

Kura: I don't know anybody by that name!!

Lucifer: ... well, even if you do know him or not. He seems to know a lot about you.

Kura: ...

Lucifer: In fact, he know you very well.

Kura: This topic is closed.

Lucifer: What's going on Kura?

Kura: If you don't have anything else to talk with me about, leave.

Lucifer: ...

*he turns around and leaves*

Kura: ...

Vandal: ...

*Kura gets back to work*

Vandal: The Clark brothers?...

*Cider is sitting under a tree in yoyo forest*

Cider: Quick little devils...

*watches monkeys wallow in stolen loot*

Cider: You won't be so happy when I'm done recovering SP, you can count on that one.

*Mage comes and kill them all off with a powerful fire attack*

Cider: Hey!!

Ru: ??

Cider: what do you think you're doing!? Those were my targets!!!

Ru: They weren't labeled under your name.

Cider: Still!! They have all mu loot!

Ru: You can have it.

Cider: What?

Ru: I don't need it.

Cider: ... I've never seen that attack before... that's a high level attack...

Ru: Meteor storm

Cider: I've never heard of it...

Ru: Of course not.

Cider: What's a high level mage like you doing in a place like this?

Ru: I'm looking for someone, maybe you can help me out.

Cider: Looking for someone?

Ru: A girl... a coward.

Cider: ...

Ru: She has blonde hair and brown eyes. See her around? Or even hear of her?

Cider: No...

Ru: The sooner I find her... the sooner I can stop wasting my time in low level places like this...

Cider: Sorry I couldn't help you.

Ru: ... you're name?

Cider: People call me Cider.

Ru: Well, Cider, if you happen to run into her, tell me.

Cider: and you are?

Ru: Ru... Ru Clark.

*the scene change to Kurion, Suki and Vandal, who are hunting grasshoppers*

Suki: sp, sp, sp

Kurion: You sure do run out of that fast dear...

Suki: Yeah...

Vandal: How much longer...

Suki: A little while... my sp regain skill is at lev 1.

Both girls: ... ... ... ... ... ...

Suki: sp, sp, sp, sp...

Kurion: Well take you're time darlin' We don't mind waiting up for you, right Vandal honey?

Vandal: Not at all...

Ali: Excuse me

Kurion: Heya ^_^!

Ali: I'm looking for someone, a girl. Perhaps you can help me.

Suki: Looking for someone? What does she look like?

Ali: She tends to stand out, she had blonde hair and brown eyes... see her anywhere?

Vandal: Ali...

Ali: ??? Oh Vandal... it's you!

*Kurion and Suki look shocked, Vandal stand up and walk up to him*

Vandal: ...

Ali: Still as talkative as ever I see. How have you been holding out?

Vandal: Fine...

Ali: and Ke?

Vandal: I don't live with her anymore.

Ali: Oh? How'd that one play out? The last thing on Ke's mind would be letting you go off alone.

Vandal: I ran away.

Ali: Of course... how long do you think it will take her to find you this time?

Vandal: She won't.

Suki: Who's Ke?

Vandal: ...

Ali: *chuckles* I doubt that she won't be able to find you. She always has before... now, about the girl I'm looking for.

Kurion: I've never heard of her.

Suki: I haven't seen her around.

Vandal: I know about her.

Suki: Vandal...

Ali: Really? What do you know?

Vandal: I've mostly heard about her. That someone's looking for her. I've seen her a couple of time I think.

Ali: Where have you seen her?

Vandal: I don't know...

Suki: ...

Ali: That's a shame, but since you've seen her, you must have seen her job class at least, I just want to make sure we're talking about the same person.

Vandal: Mage.

Kurion/Suki: !?

Ali: That's her alright... tell me if you see her again.

Vandal: ...

Ali: You should stop worrying Ke so much. I'm sure she's looking for you.

Vandal: I can take care of myself...

Ali: Of course... *he leaves*

Kurion: How do you know him.

Vandal: He doesn't know her job class...

Suki: How's that? I mean if he know her...

Vandal: She's been running for a long time...

Kurion/Suki: ???

*Calico is lying on a bench in town, an archer standing next to her*

Calico: Blonde hair and brown eyes?

Gen: Yes...

Calico: Sorry... haven't been able to remember things like that lately... maybe I need a few more drinks...

Gen: ...

*In Prontera City where Vincent is teleporting people(

Val: You must have seen someone by that description. You're a well known warper after all.

Vincent: Sorry. I guess the person you're looking for prefers walking.

Val: I see... *he leaves, Vincent watching him closely*

*all the girls and Vincent are gathered. Not including Kura and K-chan*

Kurion: So... we know at least four people are looking for her. A Thief, Swordsman, Mage and Archer...

Suki: and I thought it was only one person.

Vandal: They're been looking for her for a long time. They don't know what job class she chose... they knew her before she got one.

Suki: ... and she's a pretty high level...

Vincent: Pika is in over her head.

Cider: How's that?

Vincent: The man I saw, was Val of the Clark Brothers. A family of four brothers. A swordsman, thief, mage and archer.

Kurion: Those are the classes we ran into...

Vincent: The Clark brothers come from a very wealthy family, a couple years ago their fortune completely disappeared for an unknown reason. At the moment they aren't poor... but they are defiantly not as rich as they used to be. The Clark brothers are still very well known.

*scene starts to change to K-chan hanging up the sign in front of Lucky Lucky though the other aren't there they're speech is still over the scene*

(Vincent: In fact, the swordsman, Val. Is a regular at the bar.

Cider: Come to think of it... Kura always leaves whenever a certain person enters the bar. She really doesn't want to be found)

Zoink: Last One! Then you can come inside and start getting prepared for the customers.

*K-chan is on a ladder, hanging up a sign*

K-chan: All right.

*Zoink goes inside while Kura finishes up. As soon as she finished she looses her footing and falls down, Val catches her before she hits the ground*

Val: Are you okay?

K-chan: Thank you... I was scared for a moment there.

Val: *puts her down* You should really be more careful miss...

K-chan: Kurapika-chan! But everyone calls me K-chan... or Miss.Chan ^^

Val: I'm Val Clark.

K-chan: Nice to meet you.

Val: What were you doing anyways?

K-chan: I work here actually. I was just putting the open signs up so that customers would come. Usually the manger does it but he hurt his back.

*shows Zoink in the bar perfectly fine*

Val: Really? I've come to this bar plenty of time. I haven't seen you there.

K-chan: I work in the back preparing food. So that's probably why you haven't seen me.

Val: I see ^^, even though I haven't see you before... you look like someone I know. In fact, you look extremely similar to her.

K-chan: Oh well that's very likely. You've probably met my twin sister. After all she works the bar.

Val: Sister?

K-chan: Yes, we look like one another, except for one thing. *she points to her eyes* Her eyes are a different colour then mine. Mine are blue, her's are brown.

*later the bar if getting close up for the night. Kura is running back and forth mopping the floors*

Vincent: None of the Clark Brothers came today... *leaves*

K-chan: Pika!

*Kura stops running with the mop*

Kura: What? I'm kinda busy...

K-chan: *hands her a letter* A man wanted me to give this to you.

Kura: *looks the envelope over& ... who?

K-chan: ... I can't seem to remember the name... but he said he was an old friend. *leaves*

Kura: Old friend...?

*Kura reluctantly opens the letter, it's a card with a ring on the cover. Inside it says I found you

Kura: ...
