Fate enjoys annoying people
Kurapika woke up like he usually did…stiff and more than ready to bite the head off anyone who got on his nerves… (At least until he gets his morning tea anyway!) He rolled out of bed, his hair looking worse than Gon's did on a good day! The only thing different was the dream Kurapika had last night…
His dream took him back to the day the Spiders slaughtered everyone in his clan except him. Only this time, something had changed. This was the first time Kurapika had seen a blue-then-blond-then-back-to-blue haired boy. He couldn't shake the feeling that he'd seen him somewhere before… He went to the bathroom and waited until Daisuke had set off the traps.
"Good morning, Kura-kun!" said Emiko with a grin.
"Morning…" mumbled Kurapika. (He had already gotten used to Emiko and Daiki referring to him as Kura-kun.)
"Kyu!" cried Wiz as he took his usual spot on top of Kurapika's head.
"Morning to you to, Wiz," said Kurapika wearily. Emiko brought him some tea and after the first cup his cranky-morning-attitude had finally passed. Daisuke entered the room out of breath.
"Good morning Daisuke!" said Kurapika grinning.
"Name one 'good' thing about this morning…" said Daisuke grumbling.
"Daisuke, you better have a nicer attitude tonight!" said Emiko in a warning tone. It took Daisuke five seconds to realize what would happen that night.
"Which one is it this time?" moaned Daisuke in defeat.
Emiko told him the name and Daisuke's usual attitude dropped a few pegs.
"Mom, you're joking right?! There's no way we'll be able to get that thing outside without it getting jammed somewhere!"
"Why's that?" asked Kurapika.
"It's always getting stuck somewhere! That's why the museum has close to the front door!" said Daisuke annoyed.
"If it's so hard to get out, then why are you doing this alone?"
"Because mom and grandpa won't be able to sneak that thing out of here without someone noticing!"
"Maybe I should go with you then," said Kurapika reasonably.
"I'd appreciate it…except that someone will probably spot you leaving!"
"Daisuke, have you ever heard of Cosplay?"
"You can't be serious. How is dressing up like an anime character going to help?! It'll draw more attention than the art piece!" said Daisuke annoyed.
"Who said I was going as an anime character?" snickered Kurapika, who thought the truth was obvious!
"What are you talking about?!"
"Daisuke, Kura-kun is saying that he's going to disguise himself as one of the police and sneak it out…" said Daiki.
The rest of the morning past by like it usually did. Kurapika left to go for a short walk (Emiko gave him the grocery list on a whim), and Daisuke went to school.
"I wonder how Gon and the others are doing?" said Kurapika aloud. A flash of Sky-blue caught his eye in a heartbeat. His eyes widened as he realized it was the same boy from his dream!
Satoshi was walking by when he suddenly noticed an eerily familiar face. It was the Kuruta boy from his dream! He stopped and turned around.
"I don't believe it…" said Satoshi in shock.
"Same here!" snorted Kurapika.
The two walked over to a park bench and sat down. Satoshi took his cell phone out and called in sick. (He was playing hooky for once!) Kurapika didn't know where to start.
