The Present: Catalea

Title: My Soul To Find

A/N: Yes, I should finish LCA before jumping onto another, but this plot won't leave me alone. Bear with me and my out-of-control muse. Reviews are much appreciated. No flames though.

Disclaimer: If I owned the characters and the setting, don't you think I'd make this a book? The site's called for crying out loud!

Pairing: Kuroro and Kurapika.

Warning: Harsh language and adult themes. AU, in a way.

Rating: T


She woke to the sound of her alarm clock; the sound unusually high and irritating in her ears. Which was strange considering the fact she always woke to the sound of the same clock on every day. She turned it off and remained on her bed, despite being wide awake. The reason was that her mind was occupied by that dream. Or what little she could remember of it.

A name, both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time came to her lips. Kuroro. Who was Kuroro? It was a strange name, one she'd never heard before. Yet a part of her felt like she'd known it forever.

Aside from the enigmatic name, all she could remember of the dream was the sensation of a pair of strong hands holding her as she...as she did what? She could recall a pair of abysmal black eyes boring into her and shivered for some reason. One thing she knew for sure was that the dream was sad. So sad. Even remembering bits and pieces of it made her chest tighten.

With a shake o her head, Catalea Sage got out of her bed and proceeded to the bathroom of her luxurious apartment, trying to ignore the strange sensations the dream brought upon her.


A/N: Yes, Kurapika is a girl. Again. If it's any consolation, the one in the past was a boy like in the anime. A small sex change that occurred upon reincarnation. Well, as you've probably figured out, Lucian is Kuroro and Catalea is Kurapika. Oh, and I promise that the chapters will get bigger as the story progresses. As usual, I apologize for the super short chapter. These two are meant to introduce you to our 'new' main characters. Bear with me, guys.
