KARAPICA
I do NOT own Hunter X Hunter. If I did, this story would be an episode.
A/N: Hello. I'm here to tell this story. Here is a brief summary, which is something you can find on my profile in more detail. This is an Alternate Universe Kurapica based story. There is some mention of Neon here, but not enough to make her a major character. The actual story is set roughly about two years after the exam, and Kurapica has acquired half of the Scarlet eyes. However, after doing some research, he discovers that the other half had mysterious vanished in one city. Who has the other half? And IS Kurapica the only Kurutanian who survived?
Prologue: Kuruta X Sunset X Masacre
It was a bright sunny day in Lucuso village. The people who fished were fishing. The people who farmed were farming. The people who ruled were having no problems for everyone was behaving and everything was perfect.
"Have you seen the two children?" The leader of the Kuruta Tribe asked of his wife.
"Last I saw of them, they were going outside." She answered.
"It's good for Kurapica to get outdoors once in a while."
"Yes. It is good for Karapica as well."

Meanwhile, two blond thirteen year olds were sitting under a tree reading. One was a girl with hair down to her waist. The other was a boy who had his hair almost to his shoulders. Both were wearing the traditional garments of their tribe which included a clip-on earring in one ear (A/N: it looks clip-on to me, but that's my opinion). However, the boy had his in his left ear while the girl had hers in her right.
"Hey Kara."
"What Kura?"
"If you could be anything, what would it be?"
"Anything? Probably a Ruins Hunter."
"A Ruins Hunter?"
"Yeah."
"Sounds interesting."
"You?"
"I'd have a body that didn't make me look like a girl."
Karapica had to laugh at that. It was true. Most people did mistake her twin brother for a girl. At times it was funny, but it annoyed him so much.
"So Kura, are we still on for sunset?"
"Of course. We better get back for now though. It's almost time for dinner."

Sunset
"Beautiful."
"Must you always say that?"
"Of course." Kara laughed and almost fell out of the tree she was perched in.
Kurapica turned away from the setting sun to watch the rising moon.
"Odd."
"What Kura?"
"Look at the moon."
"Weird. It looks like our eyes whenever we get emotional."
It was true. The moon had a red tint to it as it rose over the ocean.
"It must be a lunar eclipse."
"Must be."
"We should head back to the village."
"Right. Mother and Father must be getting worried about us."

Later that night,
"WHAT'S GOING ON KURA!"
"I DON'T KNOW. YOU RUN. I'LL CHECK ON MOTHER AND FATHER!"
"NO! I WON'T LEAVE YOU BROTHER!"
"YOU HAVE TO! GO!"
Kara took one last look at her brother and then at the burning village where people with tattoos of twelve-legged spiders on their backs were killing her friends and family.
"KARAPICA! GO!"
Kara ran for it. She knew that when either she or her brother used their full name, they were serious. Just then,
"There's another one."
Oh no. They've spotted me. Don't look back Kara. Just keep running. You can lose them in the forest.
And she did. She came upon an old hiding place that she and Kurapica used to use when they were little. She sat down in the trunk of the tree, and cried. Her eyes were glowing a bright crimson red.
"Kurapica. Please be ok." She whispered before she fell asleep.

A/N: Not perfect. I'll admit it. Please no flames.
