A/N: Hi everyone! I'm SO sorry that I've not updated for so long, there was something wrong with my computer. Well, I'm back now. So let's get down to the story shall we?

*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*

            "What's wrong with Kurapica?" Gon asked Killua innocently. Killua and Gon were sitting on the roof, under the stars. Killua took one look at Gon's big innocent eyes and sighed. "Well?" Gon asked again, getting impatient.

            "Gon, it's just that Kurapica is under a lot of stress…." Killua answer. He looked up at the beautiful stars; they shone like diamonds in the sun. "Come to think of it…. I think I'm under stress too…." Thought to himself as an image of Kiyumi swam in front of him briefly. Killua sighed softly. A gentle shade of pink rose to his cheeks, hidden by the dark of the night.

            Downstairs in her room, Kiyumi sneezed. "Eh? I wonder who's thinking of me…." She thought aloud. "Could it be him?" she thought, to herself a blush crept up to her cheeks. She sighed softly. (Poor love sick kid.)

            That night, before going to bed, Kiyumi said a prayer," Kami sama, please give me the strength to tell Killua that I like him. He has given me so much support. I need the strength…. Please!" With that she closed her eyes and drifted off.

Kiyumi was walking along a long road; there was no one on the road. When she turned a bend, she saw a tall lady. The lady had long dark tresses that moved in the wind. She was wearing a long white robe with blue trimmings. She smiled when she saw Kiyumi. "You have grown, my little angel…." Her eyes twinkled. Kiyumi was shocked.

"My little angel…. She called me her little angel…." She thought. "No one calls me that except. …except…. Okasan!" Kiyumi's eyes grew wide with both shock and excitement. She ran towards her mother, tears streaming from her eyes. "Okasan!" She cried. Her mother smiled and then put a finger on her lips.

"Be silent my angel, I have something very important to tell you." Her mother said. "There is a dark shadow that is after you, you must be wary of it…. you must be wary…" her mother faded off, leaving behind a very confused Kiyumi.

            "Okasan…. okasan…. matte…. okasan…."

              "What's she talking about?" Gon asked Killua. They were bent over, trying to figure out what Kiyumi was mumbling about in her sleep. Killua shrugged.

            "I don't know…. Maybe she's dreaming of her mother…." Killua replied softly. "She looks so cute when she's asleep…." he thought. "Well Gon, we'd better go prepare breakfast…." Gon nodded and followed Killua out of the room.

Kiyumi stirred, her eyes fluttered open. "Okasan? What happened? Okasan…I miss you…." A pearly teardrop ran down her face. "Okasan…. okasan…." Kiyumi started crying softly, her heart broken….

~+~

            Kiyumi went downstairs for breakfast with a smile on her face, despite the fact that she was feeling low. "Can't make them worry about me!" She thought. "Ohayou! Gon kun, Killua kun! Ano…. where's Kurapica san? She asked, concern in her eyes.

            "Well….we don't know actually….he hasn't been home since last night…." Killua answer. "I think he's worried about some thing…."

            "Maybe it's Neon sama." Added Gon. "Kurapica likes her an awful lot…." Kiyumi nodded her head and sat down to eat.

She was thinking about Killua again. She sighed inwardly. "Oh Kami sama! I'm just not brave enough…. Help me! Onegai!" She prayed for the courage. Little did she know, Kiyumi would be getting her chance very soon….

So…. how's the story? Izzit good? I know I was supposed to explain the relationship between Kurapica & Kiyumi. But I forgot! I'll put it in the next chpt! So sorry! Reviews please! No flames!

P.S. Don't worry KxN fans; Kiyumi is to be paired with Killua. She wouldn't snatch Kurapica from Neon ok? (I might even add a little KxN into the fic!) ^_~
