Author's Notes: I don't own Hunter X Hunter.

"Really? You've forgiven me? Hurray!" Kurapika hugged her suddenly which she gasped. And she hugged him back. "How sudden?"

"That's because", she released him. "You're annoying!" she said sarcastically.

"Annoying huh?" there was an evil smile playing on his lips. "Let's see who's annoying!" she knows he'll tickle her so she stood up and ran. Not for long they we're playing. And not for long Machi and Shizuka went to the rooftop. The four looked at each other.

"What's going on?" Machi asked. Kurapika and Neon looked at each other. Then Neon replied.

"We're friends!"

"Really? This is so cool!" Shizuka exclaimed, clapping her hands.

"And for that we shall celebrate! We shall go to a restaurant this afternoon what do you say guys?" Machi said excitedly.

"Yeah!!" the three replied.

'Kurapika I'll never break my friendship with you again. Thank you for believing in me. And I thank God you we're my best friend', Neon thought. "Kurapika".

"Yes Neon?" Kurapika turned to her. They 'were leaving the rooftop already and Neon was at the back of Kurapika.

"Thanks...for changing me". He smiled at her.

"No problem. Come on let's go!" he said. She excitedly went to him as he put his arm around her shoulder.

"Okay!"

~*~*~*~*~

"Hey guys!" Gon called before the four could exit the campus.

"Hey Gon and Killua! Kurapika and Neon are friends! So we're going out!" Machi said.

"Actually we're just going to eat at the café. Wanna go you two?" Shizuka asked.

"Yeah! I mean way the go Kurapika and Neon! You're back as friends at last!" Killua gushed.

"Okay let's go!" said Kurapika. "Yeah!" the rest replied.

~*~*~*~*~

As they arrived on the café they ordered ice cream. "Gee you two you look so cute together", Gon began. Kurapika and Neon we're sitting side by side and across them we're the other four.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Kurapika asked, clueless.

"What Gon means Kurapika you two are meant to be together", Killua replied. The two blushed faintly.

"G-Guys your insane", Neon said, her words stammering.

"Neon are you blushing?" Machi said.

"Not only Neon, Machi but also Kurapika!" Shizuka replied. The four laughed.

'Why do they think I have a crush on Kurapika or why do they think I love him? These guys are impossible!' Neon thought, eating her ice cream.

"Just ignore them", Kurapika whispered in her ear. Neon looked at him and he winked.

"We have seen that! What did you whisper in Neon's ear Kurapika? I-LOVE- YOU?" Killua teased.

"Shut up!" he said, as he started to laugh.

That night Neon was making her assignments but she couldn't get why her friends paired her with Kurapika. They're friends...not more than friends. 'Besides my feelings for him didn't change', Neon thought, biting the head of the pen. 'But is it true...I'll see him more than a friend?' she asked herself. She shook her head and set that aside. She has to finish her assignments.

~*~*~*~*~

In recess time that next day Kurapika want to see Neon in the rooftop. She doesn't know why but she had a bad feeling...a bad feeling indeed. "Kurapika something wrong?" Neon asked. He didn't reply but get the ring off his finger and placed it on Neon's finger. She looked at the ring and looked at him quizzically.

"Neon...I'm leaving Japan this summer to America and I don't know when I'll be back", Kurapika began, his voice soft. Neon could feel her tears start to fall.

"Kurapika..."

"Look...I'm just lending you my ring okay? When I get back here I'll claim it and don't lose it okay?" he added. Neon nods her head as tears start to fall from her forest green eyes. Crystal tears. He wiped it using his hand and lean his forehead to hers. "Promise?"

"I-I promise", she replied. She bury her face in his chest and sobbed. She'll lose him.

"Whatever happens Neon...I'll always love you", he said. She doesn't know how to react. But she knows she love him coz' he's important to her.

~*~*~*~*~

Years have passed as Neon Nostrad was walking in the streets. She has graduated and she's an employee of her dad's company. She walked confidently in the streets as her pink hair fall gracefully at the back of her shoulders. And how adorable she looks on her uniform. She looked at the ring on her right hand. She's waiting for him. He promised. Then somebody grabbed her left hand. She looked at the person. "Hey let me...go". As she looked at the person...somehow it reminded of her of one person.

"Neon you don't remember me anymore? How sad..."the lad said. He has blonde hair and blue eyes. She never knew him. And he dress casual. She remembers one person who dresses casually. The lad took her right hand and looked at the ring. "I knew you'll keep it".

"Who are you?" Neon asked.

"Let's say...I'm the boy who have changed you and love you for so long", he said. He inched closer as he slightly touches her lips with his. Somewhat shocked she wanted to say something but his finger was in the way...silencing her. "I've waited for this day to come. And I'm so lucky I've found you", he said. She couldn't believe it! He's here! She hugged him excitedly.

"By the way...aren't you going to get the ring?" Neon asked.

"No".

"Why?"

"Because only my love one will wear my ring. Neon I just don't only treat you a friend...I treat you more. I've thought about you those years. I just couldn't get you off my mind. Do you...love me?" he asked nervously. As she saw him he had grown handsome and more mature. And she realized too she had missed him so. Without him, her life was boring.

"Of course Kurapika", she whispered. "I've loved you...for so long now. At last...you're here..."
