The Truth between Lust and Love

Chapter I: Four Reasons

Ceres' POV

I watched as the cold blood splattered at the floor while I pulled my dagger out from my victim's throat.

"That will be enough Ceres…we've got what we wanted…"

"Hai."

I helped Kuroro carry the loot that we've obtained from the bank. I still can't believe myself. Why did I joined this group?

The Genei Ryodan?

Before, I was just a mere thief who believes that it's better to work alone than be in a group. I've declined all of the invitations of every underground group. Except for one.

The infamous Phantom Brigade.

The Genei Ryodan.

Of all the group, why them?

One was the fact that I too came from Ryuusegai, the place where the six pioneer members originated and the brigade was formed.

Second was because I know a lot of things in the brigade, including their names and abilities.

Third was…. well they were in need of someone to fill in the fourth position.

Finally…

"At last, we're here!" Ubogin yelled as he stretched his arms. We've just arrived in our current hideout. "Man, that felt great!"

"Check everything…"Kuroro said as he sat besides me. I was cleaning my dagger when I noticed him. He was in deep thought of something.

Again.

"Ne, Kuroro?"

He looked at me through his obsidian eyes as if to tell me that there's nothing wrong.

Among the Brigade, I was the only one brave enough to call him by his name and not by the title he should be getting.

After the bank robbery, Kuroro decided to disperse the group until the next upcoming auction in Yorkshin. I think the Brigade has been considered as one of the "loyal clients" at their auctions. But that's still far back.

I settled my afternoon at a café. Drink coffee, eat bread rolls, read a good book.

"Are you waiting for someone miss?" a man not far from his twenties asked me.

"No one in particular."

"A beautifully sexy chic waiting for no one?….mind if I sit by you?" he sneered.

In your dreams pal, but of course, I didn't said that. "Sorry, not interested." I shot back coldly. He walked away. Embarrassed maybe, I don't care.

"Now wasn't that too harsh of you?" someone said in a sarcastic voice. I looked up, ending to stare again at a pair of obsidian eyes. Kuroro. "May I?"

I nodded. Of course, I have no intentions of flirting with him but…I got to admit that he's pretty cute.

Erase that. He's actually handsome and hot!

"He's right you know…a beautiful and sexy chic…?"

"Wrong, it's actually a beautifully sexy chic." I corrected him.

"Whatever, the point is….."

"…. You want me to go on a date." I closed my book and faced him. "Kuroro, this must be the tenth time you've told me to go on a date! Come on!" I folded my arms and stared at him. "…. Or maybe you're just trying to make fun of me…"

"I'm not making fun of you…. why won't you believe me anyway? You know that most men prefer women who have…that sexy long blonde hair…those alluring ocean eyes…that irresistibly kissable lips…that pale smooth skin…and that really hot body!"

is this really him?

"How flattering…are you…?" I can't believe I'm blushing. In front of him.

Again!

"…Are you hitting on me?" my eyes narrowed, the hell with him! He knows that I'm not much into these things!

He winked. "Quite?" he answered, grinning.

"Damnit Kuroro! I'm gonna tell Paku and the others about this!"

"You're cute when you're angry you know."

We both relaxed and laughed.

My final purpose for joining the Brigade? Well, it's because of personal reasons actually.

It's because he knows how to make me smile in a strange way.

It's because of Danchou.

It's because of Kuroro. Kuroro Lucifer

-lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll-

I'm done at last! Just a small explanation here people: this ficsy took place years before Hisoka joined the brigade. And sorry if Kuroro's a bit OOC… but it's really fun working with him!

About Ceres, here's a little bio of her:

Name: Ceres

Age: 24

Birthdate: March 27

Position: 4th

Birthplace: Ryuusegai

Abilities: Gugenka

She usually uses a dagger instead of her abilities on not so hard jobs.

Anyways, here's a small interview with Ceres:

Leilei: well, what do you think of Kuroro?

Ceres: ….

Leilei: ;; you've got to admit that he's pretty cute, you even mentioned it yourself, right?

Ceres: I had to say it cause you told me to.

Leilei: so you don't find him cute or anything?

Ceres: …

Leilei: ;;

Ceres: …he sucks.

Kuroro: T-T that hurts you know, you don't have to be that mean..

Leilei: well that ends it, till next chappie minna!
