Summary: Prequel to W.I.S.C.? fic, Not recommended when you haven't read that one. But since this is the beginning of how did things happen to be like that. You can still relate here even without checking the first one. ^^
He just resigned being a bodyguard on Nostrads, but immediately got abducted by the Genei Ryodan Leader Kuroro Lucifer. This story revolves on how each of their feelings seems to change before Kurapika sank onto his insanity edge. A short KuroKura adventure.
~~Note: This contain a slice of ORANGE. On this fic only Kurapika and Kurapika with the spider member's would be the main unlike on W.I.S.C.? fic. You'll find out as you read, so I'm telling you - Start now!
BY THE WAY, dont expect much at this prequel, for first of all you all knooow how Kuroro and Kurapika would get close to each other so this might be a fast forward diary of those days...Nothing much to say since everyone in FF already making every different style for Kurapika and Kuroro to be friends and me i have no such idea how to do that...So dont expect much here ok? :)
Also, this story popped in my mind on May 23 2012, If ever someone around here has a fic which resembles mine, well, personally, I say I was first.
E-N-J-O-Y and Please Review! Don't Forget! :D
CHAPTER 8
Got the Curse
The night have fallen, still worried Kuroro Lucifer is. His spider members did notice the atmosphere of their Danchou, even though his face doesn't speak about it, but his presence tells.
"Danchou we should rest." Shalnark suggested.
"No. You guys can go rest, i'll search for him alone if you are tried." Kuroro said as if he didn't care much. The other spiders look at each other. For their first time, their Danchou ignored them and gone focus of searching for Kurapika.
"No we'll go with you Danchou." Phinx said, then Machi stepped in and said, "I'll go too Danchou."
Came short add by Shalnark, "Danchou if you're not going to rest i'm not going to rest either..." he said with more serious concern.
Kuroro first look at them with eyes of no-i'll-do-it-myself-just-rest. But then he realize it's more convenient if they are many especially its midnight, the search would be harder.
"Ok." The Leader nodded, and said before moving, "However, Only Phinx, Machi and You would go with me..." he look onto the rest of them. "You guys should rest then if we didn't found him today, the second batch would go with me."
His spider's smiled inside their's motionless face, they felt great-full that their Leader trust them...
Trusting them with a little bit private matters including the Kuruta.
Forgiveness.
"No...I can't...For i..."
"What's wrong confused?" The same voice speak. Jerking up into a standing in defence. It was the mysterious White Gothic Lolita girl...!
"Who are you?" Kurapika asked, Readied his chain on his right hand.
"Me?"
A creepy giggle.
"I'm you're..."
Revealing her red eyes glowing in dark that Resemble's Kurapika's flamed scarlet. Kurapika's eyes got widen and without his control his own eyes turned scarlet. An Eye Contact.
"You're Stalker!"
"W-what?" Still scarlet eyes are on.
"You're stalker!" The mysterious girl repeated.
"I don't get it...Why are you stalking me?" Kurapika asked suspiciously.
"Hmm soukana~ I guess because~ i got interested towards you!" The girl said smiling.
Kurapika slowly nodded, he didn't know how respond with that, the girl was weird and so he observed her whole appearance. 'is she a ghost?'
"No i'm not a ghost." The girl pouted. Much to his doom, how did the girl know what he was saying inside his mind?! 'she can read minds?'
"Sort of" The girl answered again which is exactly answering the question inside his head!
"How-"
"How can i read your mind?" She smiled evilly. "That's simple~" She was floating with her bare foot, she walk towards Kurapika or more like she softly jumped with her tip toes avoiding her whole feet to touch the ground, in no time she was surprisingly got very near that Kurapika got off guard, She used her finger tips to make Kurapika look up to her by his chin.
"These red eyes of mine could connect to everyone especially the likes of you..."
Kurapika remained himself still, who knows what would the girl would do, but the weird thing is...He can't run away. 'whats with this weird feeling?' Is he afraid? 'No.' There's something else...The girl ain't harmful at all if your going to think. 'But.' For some reason, Kurapika tells his body to remain still, don't do any reckless actions. 'I need to run.' No one is stopping him, not even the girl. Kurapika could move freely if he just wanted to.
However, he couldn't make himself do that. The girl continued with both of they're crimson eyes in-touched.
"...it connects deeply to the likes of you for we are same..." She giggled in a creepy way, which Kurapika got reminded of Hisoka. He's not freakin Hisoka's sister right? Anyhow, He must do something to get out of this, If he can't run away in instant, then..He should play with the flow for a while.
"W-what do you mean were same?" Kurapika questioned, The Girl was pleasingly smiling still. "Let's see~ Let us say i understand how you feel right now."
"Eh?" a small tint of heavy feeling suddenly lock up Kurapika onto the girl's field of conversation. The place where he was with the three sleeping figures of the spider's vanish and seems to got teleported into another part of the forest...But Kurapika didn't notice them...Even he want's to end it now, he can't...His lips were spilling all his questions inside his head.
"You...Understand my feelings...? How so...?"
"Good boy, Good boy My Kurapika-sama~ Of course not only you who feels that way..." She whispered, "However i understand everyone's feelings so i can't really say that we are same..." the girl twirled around him and stays at Kurapika's back by putting her arms on Kurapika's shoulders.
"For I don't have my own emotions...And Memories anymore..."
Kurapika snapped to his senses when he realize that the girl was unbelievable hypnotizing. 'that was close, if i haven't snap out i might have been under her control.' Kurapika swatted the girl's hands on his shoudlers. They most likely switched their standing pace.
"How mean Kurapika-sama~ It's not like i'm going to eat you~" The girl said still looking normal kid.
"Who are you! Tell me!" Kurapika said with clear warning.
"Ah! Forgot to tell you my name...Right," the girl twirled again, "My name is N-O-R-O-I~ Or you call it Curse for English meaning" Noroi said with a smile that resembles Gon.
Kurapika got startled when Noroi told her name, and what shocks him the most, her smile makes him remember of Gon though when she giggles she resembles Hisoka's.
"either way~" Noroi sat floating in air her legs crossed. "I told you that i know how you feel and you wanted to know how right?"
Kurapika nodded. "Ok, i don't know which or where should i start but...If you don't understand yourself, then i'll tell you what's going on." Noroi's crimson eyes contacted again with Kurapika's Scarlet ones.
"You're being Kind Towards Kuroro Lucifer, You are forgiving him and his spider members, And you are forgetting about the fact that Kuroro is the murderer and cause of your clan's death."
Noroi said with her innocent face,After hearing those Kurapika felt a thunder run through his whole body. "Me? Forgiving the spiders?" He watched at her with Horror. Those innocent face of Noroi turned into one's of Hisoka's...She cleared it for him.
"Yes. You've Forgiven Kuroro and wanted to be friends with him."
Kurapika's blood bolt and his Scarlet eyes glows brighter. "Bastard." he gritted his teeth preparing his chain, "That's a lie."
"It's not a lie :3" Noroi insisted.
"NO." Kurapika glared at the girl, "That's not true...And if you keep telling me those things i'm going to-"
"Kill me?" the girl guessed, "You can't kill me, Your chain is only for spiders not the likes of me~"
"No, i can kill you with my chains." 'i would just use the judgment chain and she'll die if she break the rules.'
"Nah you can't kill me even you put a judgment chain at my heart~"
Kurapika's eyebrow turns upright in question.
"For..." Noroi stood to the ground. "From the start i didn't even exist at all."
"Wha-?!"
A mysterious light glimmered suddenly the time Noroi had her bare foot hit the ground.
"What's with this?!" Kurapika shoved both his arms from his eyesight, its so bright that he can't straighten up his view. 'what kind of Nen is this?'
Kurapika heard Noroi's voice from nowhere. "Forgot to tell you, I don't use nen...However..." Noroi suddenly appeared from his back, which Kurapika accidently
stared back with Noroi's Red eyes with his.
"I'm a NeN Destroyer."
Kurapika gasp when his question were answered, "A Jonen User?!"
"Nope not really a Jonen user but only a Nen Destroyer~ hehehe~!" Noroi laugh like a little lovely girl from gothic movies.
Kurapika manage to break away the contact with her eyes, 'her eyes must be the cause! I mustn't look at them!'
"Ano neh Kurapika-sama, everyone always running away far from me." Noroi said with a sad tone but her face was smiling. She kept blabbering while Kurapika tries to avoid her, in times that she would just appear like a ghost.
"They called me "Curse Child" for no reason. They despise me for no reason either...I just wanted to be friends with everyone though~" Noroi vanished then appeared by Kurapika's left side, whispering, "Were both lonely~"
"Ah!" Kurapika jumped 3 inches, "I'm not lonely!" He said using his dowsing chain in case if he hits her.
"Oh yeah forgot your not lonely for you have Kuroro with you~!" Noroi said with another smile which made Kurapika twitched, "he's not!"
The dowsing chain keeps attacking Noroi but she able to dodge it like a Kuroro with a Hisoka face as she continues to get nearer and nearer towards Kurapika. "You liar, you got lonely when he sold you to the Hokken King~"
"No!" Kurapika shouted in pure annoyance, "I'm not! So shut up!"
"Make me." Noroi mocked.
"Hahhh!" Kurapika screamed while attacking, he's totally pissed off. Kurapika threw again his dowsing chain and able to caught Noroi's left arm and she let them, "Ohh amazing! I got tied up with your chain! How wonderful experience is this!" Noroi said in completely tone of joy.
"Are you nutts or something?!" Kurapika blurted out, Really he don't even get the girl. "What do you need from me?!"
"I need nothing from you. But I need you for you to suffer." Noroi said with a Killua bored face.
Kurapika felt chills on his body. 'does she...' Kurapika had a feeling that maybe Noroi was same with the Enjoyment of Hisoka. 'to seek toys and play with them until they broke.'
"Iiiyaah~ But i don't kill like Hisoka Kurapika-sama!" Noroi said still reading Kurapika's mind.
But then Kurapika notice something odd, 'if Noroi could read my mind then how come she didn't heard my earlier questions? Could it be...'
"Now Kurapika-sama try finishing me off, i can't wait for you to pierce me with your Judgement chain! Kyaahh!"
Kurapika look at her with analyzing eyes, 'wait, just now she supposed to hear my thoughts but she didn't seems to hear them...' He had confirm it. 'i see so Noroi could only read mind for each every 10minutes!'
"Whats wrong do it now while you still can!"
'i need to confirm it for one last time.' Kurapika reveals his judgment chain and purposely thought of what he's going to do, His mind said, 'i'll pierce her with my judgment chain the time she starts to speak things!'
Noroi narrowed her eyes with a chesire cat smile. "Then i won't blabber~ Bleh!" She stick out her tongue childishly. Noroi fell on the trap!
Kurapika smiled then, he was right, 'Noroi could read minds every 10 minutes but she could only do that when she contacts her red eyes with mine!'
Noroi stared at Kurapika's eyes trying to provoke him but all was too late, 'crap Kurapika-sama have discovered it!" This time her facial expression turned like Leorio's when getting hot head.
"Ara~Ara~ your really smart than i've calculated for you to be." Noroi break the chain's of Kurapika without any hardship unlike Uvogin which shock the Kuruta from fear. "No way she broke my chain!?"
"But neh Kurapika-sama play time is over time to do my job from the request of the Hokken King~"
First came through Kurapika's mind is, maybe Noroi able to break his chain easily for she isn't a spider. Even so he believe that his chains are not that fragile to break so easily. 2nd thing came from his mind, 'the hokken king is alive? How come didn't Kuroro killed-"
"Kuroro didn't killed the Hokken king for after you got stab he vanished with those slender ugly figures." Noroi corrected. "But then the Hokken King wants you back. So i'm actually here to capture you but..." Noroi licked her lips. "I would rather destroy your Nen and make your life miserable! Hahaha~!"
Kurapika was sure for one thing, "This girl is crazy! and A sadist!"
Noroi kicked her from nowhere. "ah!" Kurapika flew onto the ground double bounce before coughing from the sudden impact. "kuhh..."
"Now, Now Kurapika-sama~ It's time for you to get destroyed~ But i didn't mean to hurt you, i hope my kick didn't broke your ribs or something..." Noroi said watching Kurapika from the ground.
Noroi is just a little girl yet she is terrifying than Killua. Kurapika tried to stand but the hit was so strong that he can't even make himself move a bit.
"Kurapika-sama~ Let's do this shall we?" Noroi said as she lifted both her hands side ways, Kurapika watched them and really surprising..Big Lots of Chains appeared from the ground!
"what the...chains..." Kurapika said in whisper, eyes are still wide scarlet. 'chains like mine but bigger.'
"...Kurapika-sama...This won't hurt..." She finally said then she pointed her index finger towards Kurapika which the chains followed the direction.
Kuroro was on a top tree with Machi when a Scream out of hell alarmed their ears.
"what the Danchou that voice!" Machi said in dis belief with her own ears...Kuroro look at the direction from afar. The scream belongs to Kurapika.
"Kurapika?!" Shalnark said outloud, Phinx joined, "Shal, just now...I heard him..." Both look at each other then immediately dashed to the direction.
Same time Shizuku,Franklin and Nobunaga got themselves snapping awake from the hideous scream coming from a certain Kuruta.
"is that?" Shizuku said sleepily. Franklin made his ears more clear. "Oh no..." Franklin had a bad feeling.
Nobunaga took his katana and readied himself to go to the place of the scream. "That kid!"
Koltopi, Feitan and Benevelof heard it too, it took time for them to decide if they should go or should wait for their Danchou to come, But Feitan said from the scream its too loud which their Danchou might have been the first to hear it. Nodding to eachother they vanish like a gust of wind.
Kuroro came onto the scene with Appearing Machi, Phinx and Shalnark perfect timing to gathered in place...There is Noroi with shining red eyes that resembles a Monster and her chesire cat smile.
"You've found me."
There they saw Kurapika screaming like he had seen a worst nightmare of his life, there's no sign of injuries at the kuruta which pop out some questions from the spider members of what must have happen here to make the blonde cried out so hard as if he got himself pierced with something.
Kuroro observed first, he took a glance from the boy who was scratching his face and forehead, His eyes were widen too much that his pupil became almost like a pimple. Scarlet eyes are activated and tears were gradually falling-while shaking badly as if it was so cold.
The raven haired man's eyes narrowed from the thought, "You did this don't you?" looking up his gaze through Noroi who's blocking Kurapika's view. A nod came fast from the little lolita girl. "Yep~ Got a problem with that?"
She smiled sarcastically which Kuroro's dark presence turns darker than it was already.
"Who on earth are you?!" Shalnark still remembers Noroi from their first meeting, Machi readied her Strings for battle and Phinx started to stretch out his fingers and arms for a fight.
"I'm Noroi, the one who brings curse...A Nen Destroyer, I put curse on someone's nen and make them out of control..." Noroi explained and faced them completely. "isn't a fantastic abilitly? nyaha~"
Kuroro's nerves are out of control, he want's to kill her now...Right now. He can't forgive her.
The rest of the late spiders came onto the scene, There is Nobunaga and Feitan's group reunited and surprised from the scenery they just saw.
"Hmm So everyone is here." Noroi said, still not afraid about the fearsome Genei Ryodan cornering her on big circle.
"So let's play?" Noroi asked still smiling.
"Sure i'll play with you." Kuroro said darkly and uses his skill book. The time he attacked it was also the same time Nobunaga, Phinx, and Machi charged to fight. Shalnark's mission is to get close onto the Kuruta.
Noroi is just a little girl, yes..But Kuroro couldn't defeat him easily, Not to mention, Machi,Nobunaga and Phinx were there. Noticing that they are having hard time killing Noroi, Feitan chooses to Join but the rest remained watching for they believe that they can't do anything.
"Iiyaaah~ You should feel shame Kuroro~ You killed Kurapika's clan, whole clan~" Noroi said still dodging their attacks, Kuroro ignoring all her words. "You're the cause of Kurapika's Mental Dis order you know~" She blurted out revealing chains with blade appeared before her sleeves. "So you must die~"
The group knows its dangerous so they decided to retreat far away from her if possible. What more they couldn't tell her nen, or more like she doesn't even have one except for destroying people's nen. What on earth Noroi is?
At the other hand, Shalnark tried to calm Kurapika by patting his shoulders and gently calling him out from his fear. "Kurapika, it's alright Danchou is here and us..." Shalnark wasn't sure if Kurapika could hear him, but since Kurapika did took a glance at him then back to Noroi and the spiders who are fighting her with Kuroro. Kurapika still stayed with the same condition.
"He won't speak." Shizuku said still not aware how much this is a very troubling event. "Should i hit him with my Deme-chan?" She asked innocently, trying to help but failed.
"you can't Shizuku, it would only damage the kid more..." Franklin commented. "So Shalnark what should we do now?"
Shalnark look over his comrade Franklin and had his face slightly worried, "I don't know. I'm not the type of person could show some affection..." He said, and Shizuku Franklin Koltopi and Benevelof nodded in agreement.
"We are spiders of course." Koltopi said.
"Kuroro take a look at Kurapika-sama look what have you caused him for~" Noroi said teasingly pointed to Kurapika. Kuroro followed it with his eyes which it kinda hit him when he saw Kurapika on bad state.
"See?" Noroi said again, "That's what you had left inside him on his age of 13years old..."
"I do, but i'm not the one who did that to him right now." Kuroro said dryly. Yep he maybe the cause of Kurapika's state of being insane inside, but Noroi is the one who have caused that mental state to awake from Kurapika's deep part of mind and heart.
"Souyone-" Noroi's words were cut off shortly when Kuroro had got him, with his ben's knife. Maybe it didn't work last time on the airship but Kuroro used it anyway...Kuroro whispered uinder his breath. "Die."
Noroi then screamed from pain. The chains vanished and so as she.
"Wow you got me~" She said still smiling, "But you've done a big mistake" she grinned. And Kuroro didn't got a chance to ask her questions of what did she meant there for Noroi just suddenly vanish into a dust of light particles.
Ignoring Kuroro did. He rushed to Kurapika but...
"...Kurapika...?"
Kurapika still on his same state. He's not speaking at all. Nobunaga hid his katana back to its case and so did Machi slid her strings back to her cushion.
"Danchou..Kurapika is.." Shalnark said. Kuroro stood there with Phinx, Machi and Nobunaga watching the Frail Kuruta.
Noroi's words echoed from the man's ears. "You're the cause of Kurapika's Mental Dis order you know~"
Taking a step closer, Kurapika curled himself hard, still shivering badly.
"Please...Don't come anymore closer..." Kurapika plead as the Whole Spider's stood onto their pace silently watching of what would their Danchou do now...
Now that Kurapika is totally, hard to reach.
TO BE CONTINUED
If you still didn't get it, Noroi is the Nen Destroyer that Kurapika have encountered back at the fic of W.I.S.C.? part-where Mizuken explained Kurapika's nen gone out of disorder...If you still remember. Anyway, things about Kurapika's state would be reveal next chapie, and more explanation about our mysterious OC Noroi~!
and about this part that Norioi said "But you've done a big mistake"-you'll know it soon...'Noroi means 'Curse'...
Who hates her? XDD REVIEW!
