Kurapika walked down the streets as the moonlight glittered on him.
Without warning, he turned around shot his chains at the nearby lamppost. A figure jumped out, merely dodging his murderous weapon.
"Who's there?!" Kurapika shouted as he looked around cautiously.
A girl came out from the shadows and looked up at him with beady eyes. She had long brown hair that reaches to her waist and bright red eyes. Her black kimono matched wickedly with her deadly looking katana hanging on her back. Kurapika almost thought she was a member of the Kuruta clan due to her red eyes, but then he relaxed.
"Who are you?" Kurapika asked, suspicious.
"Katsu," she replied bluntly.
"Why were you following me?" Kurapika asked again, in a colder tone.
"I was told to."
"By who?"
"I can't tell you."
He sighed and turned around.
"Go away," he told her harshly and walked off. His words fell on deaf ears as she continued trotting behind him.
"What's your problem?!" he finally exploded, "Stop following me!"
Katsu stared at him for a moment, then said, "I can't do that, or I will get scolded."
"By who?"
"I can't tell you."
Kurapika sighed and placed his face in his palm.
"I was supposed to be spying on you," Katsu said.
"If you're trying to spy on me, then you're not supposed to let me see you," Kurapika whined at her.
"Oh yeah! …I forgot…"Katsu said disappointedly, "I usually don't do spying, that's why."
The whole conversation Kurapika had with Katsu has concluded one thing. The person whom called herself Katsu isn't a very smart person.
Kurapika sighed, not knowing what else to do,
'She's just a girl, what harm could she bring to me?' he thought and he stole a glance at Katsu. She caught it and grinned at him. Kurapika looked away immediately, pretending he never looked.
'How long can she follow me anyway?'
How long he thought….She followed all the way back to the apartment where Melody waited for him.
"Erm…." Melody glanced down, "Who is she?"
Kurapika sighed and shrugged, walking in and Katsu did the same.
Melody turned away from Kurapika and turned her gaze to Katsu,
"Who are you?"
"Katsu."
"Where are you from?"
"Japan ."
"Where are your parents?"
Katsu then hesitated,
"I don't know…"
Melody then concluded that she was a lost child.
"I'm taking a bath…" Kurapika trailed off as he entered his room, Katsu frown and followed him.
"Wait Katsu! You can't enter…." Before Melody could finish, the door slammed shut.
"A boy's room…" she finished her sentence to nobody.
Kurapika chose to ignore Katsu presence as he entered the bath and closed the door.
"What are you doing in there?" Katsu shouted from the outside.
Again, Kurapika chose to ignore her.
"Hello?"
No reply.
Then there was silence. Kurapika then relaxed,
'Finally, no more chattering…'
"I'm coming in!"
That phrase shocked every nerve in his body. He flew over to the door and slammed it shut just when Katsu was about to open it fully. He locked the door and gave out a sigh before letting anger gush out within him.
"That was close, too close," he muttered, blushing hard.
"I can't open the door…"Katsu trailed off.
"Don't open it you idiot! Have some shame!" Kurapika screamed.
"Then I wouldn't know what you're doing inside then I can't spy on you right?" she reasoned.
He ignored her and took a quick bath as well as keeping an eye on the door at all times. Never once did he meet a girl as insensitive as her.
After he had finished his 3 minutes bath, Kurapika came out of the toilet with him still drying his hair. He glanced at Katsu, who was sitting on his bed, and frowned, trying to forget what happened just now. She hopped off his bed and asked,
"What were you doing inside?"
"Bathing."
The word seemed to enchant her,
"C-can I bathe too?" her eyes shining.
"If you have an extra set of clothing then I don't really care," he answered without looking back at her.
She jumped up in joy as she raced into the bathroom.
"I haven't bathed in 5 months!"
Kurapika shouted in shock,
"WHAT?!"
'No wonder she smelt like moulded cheese that had been eaten and then spat out by rat!'
Kurapika glanced at her and saw her taking off the kimono without closing the bathroom door.
For a moment, Kurapika was stunned and speechless. Katsu noticed him staring and asked curiously,
"What? You want to see?" as she pulled her kimino further apart from each side, showing more of her chest. Kurapika blushed and dashed over to slam the door close,
"Idiot!" was all he could manage to blurt out.
"Oh, you don't want to see?" she asked from the inside.
"Who would want to see?! Have some pride!"
"Oh…sorry," she muttered.
Kurapika slumped onto his bed, exhausted from everything.
'Who is this girl?'
