Which dimension did I land in?!
Kurapika woke up the next morning, and he was desperately in need of some aspirin! He got up, and stumbled slightly as he exited the room. As he went down the stairs, he realized that someone must have brought him into their home while he was unconscious. When he got to the bottom of the stairs, he was almost caught off guard by the trap!
I guess they don't trust people who appeared out of nowhere…Kurapika thought as he got up.
As he walked down further, he encountered more and more traps and pitfalls. He narrowly evaded the wild dogs that chased him; when he finally entered the living room, he was greeted by the family who took him in!
"Good morning," said one of the men."Good morning…" said Kurapika.
A woman enters as Kurapika is catching his breath.
"Here I thought Daisuke had gotten up earlier than usual!" she laughed.
A red-haired boy enters the room with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Mom, did you forget to set the traps this morning?!" the boy says as he sits down.
"No, I set them up like I usually do. Why do you ask?"
"Because when I came down they didn't go off. And the dogs you set loose on me were nowhere to be seen!"
"Now Daisuke, I wouldn't complain about that if I were you…" said the brown-haired man who greeted Kurapika.
"I know dad, but still… How shall I put this; that was the weirdest thing I've ever seen! I thought for sure that mom forgot to set them up. Not that I enjoy that particular morning ritual!"
A second man enters the room; his hair is white and it is clear that he is the oldest member of the family.
"Daisuke, I don't know why you didn't encounter them," he said.
"Really grandpa?" asked Daisuke.
"I may have an answer to that…" said Kurapika.
"Oh? What's your name?" asked the father.
"Kuruta Kurapika, nice to meet you."
"So, Kurapika, why didn't those traps go off?" asked the grandfather.
"They went off alright, but Daisuke came down after I did. I must have set them off by accident…"
"That does explain why you were out of breath when you came in!" laughed the father.
"You might as well sit down, breakfast is almost ready!" said Daisuke.
The mother reenters the room with the food. Kurapika shows his table manners, which definitely improved their first opinion of him. Afterwards, they sat and talked while Daisuke went to school.
"So, how exactly did I end up here?" he asked.
"Dark brought you with him when he came home," said the mother.
Kurapika silently gulps as he says, "Please tell me that Dark isn't the blond-haired moron with the white wings…"
"Thank heavens, no!" laughed the grandfather, "Though blond-haired idiot does suit him!"
"Who was he?"
"His name is Krad. He's Dark's opposite. Why are you so worried about that?" asked the father.
"I kinda…attacked the blond moron in midair. He was attacking someone with what I think was purple hair and the other one was unable to defend himself. So, I jumped up and knocked him unconscious."
The mother and grandfather had a look on their faces before they burst out laughing. The father took pity on the clueless Kurapika and told him what they were laughing about.
"Krad's always trying to kill Dark. Normally, Dark would have at least tried to have blocked the attacks, but last night he was too busy trying to hang onto the art piece he took," he explained.
Do I really want to ask…?
"So I take it that Dark is the guy with the purple hair?"
"That's him alright! Dark saved Satoshi from falling to his death as well."
"Who's Satoshi?"
"He's the last remaining member of the Hikari clan. Krad is what you could call an alter ego; though unlike Dark, who actually cares about his tamer's wellbeing, Krad cares only for himself."
