A/N: Ehehehehe, I'm sorry for the super long update, I'm in the middle of my school's semester assessment, 'ya see. Last April, I got some few things to focus about, starting for my Piano concert on 6 April, Theory exam, Ear Training competition and ET exam. Since I got a distinction then there's no more thing to be afraid of for aesthetics and now goes the real problem XP
My beta-reader kept bugging me to update, update and update. More days passed and it became more difficult to ignore her, she even wrote "I'm your beta-reader now please update your fic T_T" on my Mandarin notebook, you see? Ahahaha~ well, can't blame her, since all of you have patiently(or maybe impatiently XD) waiting for this chapter, here goes it!
Summary: Disagreement.
Enjoy~
'Hey, get hold of yourself.'
'Eh?'
'You okay?'
'I'm fine, where is this?'
'Ow, this place? I call it Memories.'
'Memories?'
'Yeah, Memories. Do you have them?'
Suddenly, a flash. Then an image. It was a picture, a snapshot, floating pixels that made up Gon's laughing face. It hovered just inches from Kurapika's face, so close yet so far, as he tried to reach out and grab it tight. And then, after a few seconds, the image flew away and rested on the air. And then another picture came, stood in front of the blonde boy, and then joined Gon's picture. And another, then another, another, another, until the place was filled to the brim with moving images, bright splotches here, a laugh there, a smile, chuckles, shouts.
Gon, Killua, Leorio, his clansmen... All of them pieces of Kurapika's memory, the whole of them coming back into him at once.
'They...'
'Are in your memories, isn't it?'
'Yes, they are...Wait.. No! They, I know them!'
'Ow? You know them?' Those lips twisted into a teasing leer, the word 'know' rolling of his tongue suggestively.
'Wait... I... I don't know them... Who are they?' Kurapika felt his knees weaken and felt to the floor, 'that' man ran to him and carry him up to sit. With such a short distance, the man's words might get in to Kurapika easily but he's not aware of it at all.
'You don't know who they are?' he continued to ask.
'They're...They're my...' the blonde reach for his head when he felt a sudden strike running through, disturbing his mind.
'Then who are you?' he stood up again.
'Who am I...?'
'Who are you? Why are you here? What happen to you? Do you got any idea?'
Kurapika's eyes started to roll around as his sight almost went blurry, his body trembling from fear, but what fear? He knows nothing, his body is trembling from fear that he doesn't even know what is it about, what cause them.
Simply looking at the boy below him, he smirked and kneel back down. He placed his hands on both of the boy's shoulders and assure him that...
'I'll take care of it, don't worry.'
"Leave everything to me, hmm..."
Looks like, Kuroro had successfully done conquering Kurapika's mind, and he may step forward to complete his next plan. He cleared all those thoughts when the body below him move an inch, this time he wont be greeted with a punch or a kick.
"Good morning, number 11, Kurapika."
The blonde rubbed his eyes slowly, still feeling a little drowsy. He slowly peeled his eyes open, adjusting to his surroundings. "It's almost noon, you don't intent to keep staying here, isn't it? Come on, follow me."
"..."
'Everything gone as planned.'
"You have a questionable look on your face, are there any problem?"
"Aa... Ano, what do you mean by what you said justnow?"
"Hem? The first thing I've mentioned? 11 is your number, and Kurapika is your name."
"I believe this is the first time we met but you look like you know more about me than myself."
"Yes because I made you and you work for me. Isn't it obvious for a leader to know more about his comrades?"
"...made?"
"Just forget what I said... But, remember, you work for me and I have full control of you. You must obey me. Now, let's go."
"What must I call you?"
"Kuroro."
The clock showed that it was a little past one in the afternoon. Ruckus could be heard along the hallway, voices intermingling with each other. Each voice was distinctively different from each other, making it easier to know which belongs to whom.
'Damn Machi...! She tied me up like this, who do you think I am? A dog?'
The samurai struggled from the strings that tied him up to the bed, after a few minutes, he was able to free his right hand and cut the strings with his sword.
'I may be too late! I'll never agree for that Chain bastard to join us!'
He turned the door knob and stomped his feet while walking along the corridor. At the same time, Feitan was going out of his room to head for the main building.
"You Feitan!" Nobunaga greeted.
"Ow... So you've successfully freed yourself?"
"Yeah! Franklin and Shizuku went out to somewhere unknown so I think it is the best time to escape. So where are you going?"
"The main building."
"What for?"
"Danchou called for us."
"Danchou...? Ah! Shit, why are these no one to inform me!?"
"Since, you're busy being tied up."
"But, there must still be... Wait... Danchou called for you guys... Don't tell me..."
"Yep, just as you thought."
Inside the Main Building, a cluster if people had gathered around, Standing in front of the Ryodan were two young males. "So he will join the Ryodan and replace Ubougin. Everyone, clear?" The leader explained.
The silence was like a blanket, draping over everyone. It was muted, awkward and strained. Clearly, everyone had different opinions in their mind, but they were timid to speak it out loud. No one dared to voice their protests and so the silence dragged on, somehow seeming louder than a scream.
'I never thought Danchou will be serious about taking the chain-guy as a replacement for Ubougin.' Shizuku thought.
'I don't think we will get along well.' Phinx thought.
'Ahahaha... Looks like everyone doesn't accept it...' Shalnark thought.
The silence vanished when Nobunaga along with Feitan arrived in the Main Building and kicked the door wide open.
"Ah, Feitan, you're late."
"Hey Danchou!" Nobunga shouted.
"Well, since you already know what's happening, I don't need to repeat myself, Feitan."
"Alright Danchou." Feitan agreed.
"You're ignoring me, Kuroro!" the samurai exclaimed.
"I'll deal with you. Everyone else may leave." All the Ryodan members, excluding Nobunaga, Feitan, Kurapika and Kuroro, rose up from their sit and head for the door to leave.
"Now state your problem, Nobunaga."
"You're always taking action without negotiating, Danchou!"
"Is there a need for that? Let's get this straight forward, Nobunaga, no one had the right to complain about my decision. You'll have to do it whether you like it or not. If you intend to fight back or even planning on becoming a traitor, you'll have to forget about that, I'm sure you know the consequences for who betrayed the Spiders."
Danchou's words rendered Nobunaga speechless. "If you understand well of what I've said, you may leave at once." Demanded Kuroro. Nobunaga gritted his teeth and clenched his fist tight, he went straight to the wall beside the door, lay a punch on it and went outside, followed by Feitan. As usual, the samurai will walk by and entered Phinx's room to complain like he always did whenever Kuroro made a decision he never agreed with.
It was a normal occurence, so Kuroro lifted a shoulder and sighed. He felt someone's eyes on him as he turned around. Kurapika was intently gazing at him, the look in his eyes clouded and unreadable. Curious, Kuroro cocked his head to the side and gave the blonde boy a questioning look.
"Is there any problem?"
"I just... don't understand any single thing you said earlier."
"You don't need to worry, let me handle this. I'll tell you later." He smiled and rubbed Kurapika's head.
'I'll take care of it, don't worry.'
The blonde frowned. 'What is that? Looks like I've heard it before.'
"Danchou."
"Yes, Machi?"
"What do you do to the chain-guy? He look pretty different now."
"Define it."
"He became more obedient and vulnerable."
"Isn't it? You intuition is extra-ordinary, Machi. Everything is going as planned, I've tame the wild cat." Kuroro grinned as he walked away.
He went to Shalnark's room and entered it. "Done?"
"I'm almost at it, Danchou."
Rows of computers clekced out the room, all shut off except for one, at which Shalnark was currently sitting in front of, typing away furiously. Every time Danchou would assigned a task that included hacking, researching or any computer-related stuff. "Got it."
"Let me see the data."
"It's clear that Light Nostrade, Kurapika's boss, were the one who sent him here, since this is his fingerprint."
"What for?"
"The map you took from him was the map of the famous museum in Nelcea, I've researched that there's a rare gem, known as Crystal Jade, there. And I've also figured out that the owner of the Museum was an old friend of Light. Apparently, I concluded that Light assigned the chain-guy here for the Crystal Jade, if they sell the gem, it'll worth a lot since Light was under bankruptcy right?"
"I see, but it doesn't matter anymore since the gem will be ours' soon. Thanks for your information, Shalnark. I appreciate it."
"Don't mention that, Danchou." Shalnark smiled as Kuroro went out of the room.
'It really doesn't matter at all since he had his memories mix together.'
The blonde was sitting on the bed, he kept glaring at the door. Some parts of him called him to run, some called him to stay quiet.
Run? What for? He has no goal in life, what's the meaning of running?
Who is he?
He didn't know a single thing about himself.
But... for the least, he knew he's the new #11, they said.
Where is he?
He woke up to nothing, at all. He opened his eyes to blackness and confusion. He peered out at a new, dazed world of his where the only two things he was certain about was that: one, he was with a guy named Kuroro and two, he declared himself as a Troupe Leader, which basically meant that Kurapika had to follow his orders whatever the hell it takes for him to accomplish them successfully.
Why is he here?
He don't know.
Where's his family?
He don't know.
Who are they?
He don't know.
He got nowhere to run, there's a pressure holding onto him and why can't he remember a single thing?
Right now he got no choice but to obey Kuroro and act as one of them, the replacement of someone named "Ubougin", he's #11.
Kurapika stayed silent, somehow feeling as if a presence was nearing him. His instincts told him that someone was close nearby, and soon enough, he was proven himself right as the door knob twisted. The blonde's eyes snapped up from the floor and to the doorway just in time as a figure fully dressed in black entered the room.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Kuroro said gently.
"Don't be."
"Is there anything troubling you?" Kuroro asked, he moved an inch forward
"I'd like to ask why am I staying in your room while others got their own room."
'It's because you're originally not a member of Ryodan.'
"It's simply because I need to set an eye on you."
"You mean?"
"You'll know sooner or later... Yosh! Get ready, we have a mission to accomplish."
