" I need to get something from the left corner of the room at upstairs. It will doesn't take much longer. "
" Oh, I see. Go back here ahead. "
" I will " and she went inside, going upstairs to get something from the room
And Kurapika was standing at the trunk of a tree. A few minutes later, Maki approached to him. When he noticed him, Kurapika asked him, with a little impatient expression " What do you want? "
" Just a little pep talk with you, you stupid Kurta leech. "
" Don't called me by that nickname. I'm not a stupid person, you know that!! "
" you? not a stupid person? " with a burst of laughter and he asked him again, with a little amusement " Really? Then proved it that to me that you are not a stupid man, you Kurta leech. "
" I'm not a leech. The name was Kurapika, got that?! And besides, don't ever to be so much insulted to me just like that. What you are proving for? to Asurina, isn't it? "
" Woah! You are very clever person you are, but I'm not afraid of you even though that I will killed you into pieces. "
Then, he released his sword, pointed at him.
" Okay, fine! Go ahead and beat me. But you won't able to defeat me because I'm far more different than you do. "
Became more impatient to him, he tried to attacked him with his sword but Kurapika grabbed it, through his hand, with his chain weapon on it. He tried to hit him but Kurapika managed to breaked it until the end point of his weapon.
" Why you?.. How dare you to attempted to broke my weapon just like that?! "
He still tried to hit him but Kurapika was quickly dodged it away and he knocked the weapon down on the ground. But the fight was interrupted as Asurina returned back, holding something on both of her hands. When she saw Maki's weapon was fell on the ground and the remaining end edge point of the weapon was pointed at Kurapika, she was surprised and she asked Maki " Wait... Maki, what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to killed Kurapika, aren't you? "
" Asurina, I know it was hard to explain this but... I didn't meant to killed him. I was trying to... " Maki said in an uttered way
" You didn't meant to killed him?! What is your purpose, huh? " Asurina asked, with anger expression on her face
" Well... I wanted to killed your childhood friend because... I was fall in love to you too! " Maki said with a little emotional expression
Asurina, was surprised in shocked of what he said.
" You are fall in love to me too?.. " she asked, with curiosity in confusion
" Yes, I'm falling in love to you from the very moment that we worked together in every missions. I was trying to expressed my feelings for you but I'm not yet ready. But since I had heard that you are spending time a lot with that Kurta leech guy, I had developed jealousy towards him so that's the reason so that's why I wanted to killed him. I know that you have feelings for me too, please, Asurina... please... " Maki asked, with pleadment manner
She nodded her head, paused for a moment, in a silent manner.
" please... Asurina... just choose me instead of that stupid childhood friend of yours... please... " Maki pleaded
" Asurina... " Kurapika uttered
After a moment of minutes, she responded " I'm so sorry, Maki. I have made my final decision that... I will still choose my only childhood friend that I have with. He was the only person whom I have cared for all those years. But we still to be close friends and allies. "
" But... " Maki uttered, trying to said something
" That's was my final decision. I'm so sorry. " Asurina said and she turned to Kurapika, holding his hand, said " Let's go, Kurapika. Your friends are waiting for us. "
" Oh, okay.. " Kurapika uttered, with a red blush on his face
And the two left away, leaving Maki, became heartbroken and desperate, because Asurina was truly in love to Kurapika, her only childhood friend that she cares for the most and after that he run away, in emotional with tears.
On the other side, Tom, Jerry along with Gon, Killua and Leorio were sat on the white sand that it was near at the coconut tree, with an umbrella standing at the center position, eating some ice cream in a cone.
" By the way, where's Kurapika and Asurina anyway? " Tom asked them, with curiosity
" Still hanging out with each other, of course. " Jerry said in response
" Those two are quite so perfect for each other. I'm getting envious at him that he got a lucky and brave girlfriend just like her. " Leorio said, with a little desperate expression on his face, with a deep sigh
" But... I'm still very curious at Kurapika's attitude yesterday. " Killua said
" Huh? What do you mean by that, Killua? " Gon asked, with curiosity in confusion
" Is because that... when Leorio and I had noticed him, looking at the painting of the deity of fear, Kuroma that it was hanged in outside of the museum. When he saw it, he started to feel strange and muttered something through his mouth but we didn't heard of what he saying. " Killua said in response
" Oh, yeah. I still have remember that. I didn't not seen Kurapika was acting just like that from before. I was very curious of his new actions... I wondered why... " Leorio stated, in a thoughtful manner
" I think that Kurapika was hiding something that we didn't know about. Even though that Saihara and her armies were appeared out of nowhere, they still targeting him. " Killua said
" Hey, Tom. Do you have said from before that the deity Kuroma was looked exactly like Kurapika? " Gon asked him
" Oh, yeah... I still remember that... it was not my guess, you know that. " Tom answered in response
" That's was a nonsense, Tom. Kuroma was very different from Kurapika. There is no way that they are looked the same. " Leorio protested
" I'm not joking. It was really true! I have been analyzed the whole painting last night. " Tom said
" It is? But how did you do that? " Jerry asked
" I have analyzed both pictures of Kuroma and Kurapika, through computer scanning. After a minute later, the scanning said that both two are heavily matched with each other, in physical appearances, voice mannerisms, personal attitudes, Nen power abilities and their eye colors. " Tom said in response
" Do you mean that... " Gon uttered
" Kurapika was actually the present reincarnation of Ku-" Jerry uttered
But it was interrupted when Asurina and Kurapika had arrived back in.
Gon, turned his back to him, with a surprise expression " Oh, Kurapika! Asurina! You guys taking so long. "
" I just getting something from the room upstairs at the inn house. " Asurina said to them
" Oh, I doubt that. So, how was you two are spending time together, hmm? " Gon asked, with romantic embarrassment
And Kurapika's reaction face turned full red.
" Ugh! Gon, give me a break! " Kurapika protested
" Well you see, Gon. I have never been in a such a beautiful place since I went in some dangerous and risky places in every continents of the world. Kurapika tells me everything all about this place but I already know a lot on about on how to ride through the seas. " Asurina said to him
" Wow! Did you ride through the waters? I can't believe it! " Gon asked, with an exciting expression on his face
" Yep, I have been trained for all those years that since I have left the village a long time ago. So, I became a skilled water rider and a swimmer as well. " Asurina said in response
" amazing, huh?... Just the same way as I do... " Gon said in an uttered manner
" Really it is?! So, where did you lived anyway? " Asurina asked, with curiosity
But a moment of sudden, Kurapika was suddenly to feel dizzy on his head and can't able to stand straightly.
Asurina, turned to him, asked " Uh, Kurapika. Are you just alright? I guess you feeling so dizzy. "
" It was just a little headache, Asurina. I'm going to be fine, really. I will handled this by myself. " Kurapika responded
He tried to stand up but then he feel the same illusion on his mind that Kuroma was fighting Saihara and then after that he felled on the cliff. Before he dies, he shouted that he will returned back again in the next future generation world.
After he sensed it, he was suddenly felled kneel down on the ground, feel a terrible pain on his entire body, covered his ears with both of his hands, making Tom and the others were in shocked in panick. Asurina, rushed to his aid, asked him, with a little worriedness on her face " Kurapika! Kurapika! What's the matter? Are you sick? Tell me. "
But Kurapika didn't respond to her question, was still feel in pain, covered his ears through both of his hands.
" Can you able to checked on his condition, Leorio? " Gon asked
" I will try " Leorio responded
" You don't need to. " Kurapika said to them
" But why, Kurapika? " Gon asked
" Is because that... I feel such a terrible pain just like this from before... I think it's getting me so cold and shivering.. This feeling that... I'm getting to fell collapsed immediately... is because that... I saw the vision through my mind. " Kurapika said to them
" a vision? What kind of vision did you saw on your mind? " Tom asked
Killua, did not asked or say anything from his mouth, thought on his mind " Does he mean that he was referring to the past thousands years war between good and evil hunters? and Kuroma shouted that he will returned again in the future generation world. " then he looks at Kurapika then he thought on his mind again " Couldn't be that... Kurapika was the present reincarnation of the deity of fear?! "
But that very moment, he covered his entire face, with both of his hands, said with strong emotional manner " That's vision was frightened me. I don't know on what will happened next if that evil Saihara will gonna targeted and captured me. I tried harder to become strong hunter but I'm too weak to fight her back... I can't take this anymore! I can't take this anymore! I won't ever lived a miserable life! I won't! I won't! "
And Asurina hugged him, in embraced, said to him " Just relax, Kurapika. There's nothing to be scared about the vision that you saw. No matter what will happened, I will still stayed by your side no matter what at all costs... even my own life to spared with. "
The other of their allies and friends were watching at them, in a romantic manner.
After their fun relaxation at the beach, the group returned to the hotel. Asurina brings Kurapika to the room upstairs, in order for him to take a rest. Tom, Jerry, Gon, Killua and Leorio were at the downstairs, watching them from farther distance.
" I don't get it. What kind of vision did Kurapika saw with on his mind? " Tom asked
" I don't know, Tom. Maybe that he was afraid to see the vision through his mind so that's why he was been like that. " Gon said in response
" It was not a vision... but an illusion. " Killua said, in an uttered manner
" an illusion? " Leorio asked
" If that's so then... what kind of illusion did he saw on his mind? " Jerry asked
Killua, nodded his head, paused for a moment in silence, while the others are looking at him.
Meanwhile at the room, Asurina placed a warm water on a large bowl then she washed the towel then squeezed harder and then she placed the towel on Kurapika's head. Melody, was there also to assist her.
" Are you gonna be alright? " Melody asked him
" I will be fine, Melody. Asurina will be there to take care of me. Just tell the others including the Boss that I will not able to work today because that I was getting sick for today and I need some long rest. " Kurapika said to her
" I see " Melody muttered, nodded her head
" What's wrong? " Kurapika asked, with curiosity
" Nothing. Well, I must going out now. Just getting well soon. " Melody said in response
" I will " Kurapika said, with a slight smile on his face
Before she leaves the room, she told to Asurina " Just take care of him, Miss Asurina. You are so very lucky lady for him. Your heart beat was very humble and clear always. You have the purest heart of all people, in order to helped on those who are in need, including Kurapika as well. "
Asurina, was confused of what she told her then she said to her " I will, Melody and... thanks for taking care of Kurapika too. After all, you are the first person whom I can able to talked with, with strong trust and determination. "
" Your Welcome, Miss Asurina. I will appreciate that way. " Melody said to her
And Melody leaves the room. The two are looking at each other faces, smiling in a romantic manner.
On the other hand at the castle lair of the Akuras, Saihara was sat on the throne chair, watching at the crystal ball. When she saw the image that Kurapika and Asurina were together (at the beach a hours ago), she was became furious in anger, filled with hatred and jealousy, that he was falling in love to her, although Kurapika didn't know that he was the present reincarnation of Kuroma, the one whom she obsessed with from the past thousands years.
One of the Akuras, approached to her, asked " What's the matter, My Lady? "
" I will gonna destroyed that pesky warrior slayer... and he will gonna belonged to me once for all. " she answered in response, with both of her hands gripping tightly on the table.
