[by Asagi Tsuki]

Hope you enjoy the fic.

Kaldea: Maybe, I think Kurapica will. She doesn't sounds like she love Killua at all, but deep in heart, she felt love for Killua. I know it. ('coz I'm the author ^-^)

Disclaimer: I don't own Hunter X Hunter and Rhapsody.

They went to RedHot.

Shalnark: Hey, where should we search for information?

Kurapica: ...

Shalnark: Kurapica? * turns to see Kurapica *

Kurapica: What?

Shalnark: Aren't you hearing me?

Kurapica: Sorry, I'm a bit tired, maybe we should go to that house first. * points a house *

Shalnark: Okay.

They went to the house.

Boy: My grandfather died, he taught me many things, do you want to know how to operate the bridge?

Shalnark: We love to.

Boy: First, turn the 2nd and 6th switch on, after that, turn those switches off. Next, turn the 1st, 5th, and 6th switch on.

Shalnark: Oh, thanks.

Boy: Are he okay? He looks pale.

Shalnark: She's a- pale?! Hey, Kurapica! Are you okay?

Kurapica: * nods weakly *

Shalnark: Are you sure? If you're okay, why your face is so pale?

Kurapica: Maybe.. I.. Need.. Some.. Rest.. * fall on the floor *

Shalnark: Kurapica?! Kurapica!!

A few hours later.

Kurapica: * wakes up *

Shalnark: Kurapica! You already wake up?

Kurapica: * sits on the bed * Shalnark? Where am I? * looks around *

Shalnark: We're in the Boy's house, he let you rest here because you faint suddenly!

Kurapica: I- I'm sorry.

Shalnark: * hugs Kurapica and cry * Why don't you tell me? It's a good thing that you're okay! You make me worried sick!

Kurapica: I'm sorry, Shalnark.

Shalnark: * wipes her tear * Okay, don't do it again, understand?!

Kurapica: Y- yeah. I understand.

Shalnark: You've slept for five hours!

Kurapica: Huh? Really?

Shalnark: Yea, it's already night.

Kurapica: Oh my God!

Shalnark: Just go back to sleep, k?

Kurapica: Okay.

Shalnark: I'll sleep on the bed next to you, good night, Kurapica. * kissed Kurapica's forehead *

Kurapica: Good night too, Shalnark.

They went to sleep. That night, a burglar broke in.

Kurapica: What's that? * rubs her eyes *

The burglar stole many things.

Kurapica: * walks slowly to Shalnark's bed * * whispers * Shalnark, wake up!

Shalnark: * still sleeping *

Kurapica: Hey, wake up! There's a burglar!

Shalnark: Huh? Burger? What?

Kurapica: Can't you stop thinking of food?! There's a--

Shalnark: A?

The burglar noticed them.

Burglar: Hi, cute girl.

Shalnark: Wow, this is the first time they called Kurapica 'girl'.

Kurapica: Baka! It's not the time to say that! Get my twin sword!

Shalnark: What for?

Kurapica: He's a burglar!

The burglar takes his dagger.

Kurapica: I think, there's no time to take my twin sword, okay, it's your turn, devil dragon, 'Setsuna'. * writes Setsuna's kanji letter *

The burglar burnt to death.

Shalnark: You're so mean!

Kurapica: So, you want me to get hit, huh? * sits on the floor *

Shalnark: I'm kidding. Now, get back to sleep.

Kurapica: ..

Shalnark: Are you sleeping?

Kurapica: * sleeping with her head on the bed *

Shalnark: You shouldn't sleep here, Kurapica.

They went back to sleep.

The next day.

Shalnark: * wakes up * Huh? Where's Kurapica?

Boy: You're searching for that guy?

Shalnark: Yes, eh, she's a girl.

Boy: Whatever, she's diligent, she sweeps the floor, and she is cooking now, she's in the kitchen.

Shalnark: * walks to the kitchen * Hi, Kurapica.

Kurapica: Hi, Shalnark, you already wake up?

Shalnark: Yeah.

Kurapica: We'll go to the Suspension Bridge after breakfast.

Shalnark: You're okay?

Kurapica: What do you mean?

Shanark: It's because of yesterday.

Kurapica: Oh, I'm fine.

Shalnark: Well, do you remember how to operate the bridge?

Kurapica: You didn't hear him?

Shalnark: Eh, I forgot.

After eating the breakfast, they went to Suspension Bridge.

Kurapica operate the bridge.

The bridge went down, so they can cross the bridge.

Shalnark: Should we go north or south?

Kurapica: North, I think.

Shalnark: No way, after hot, this time is cold.

Kurapica: Do you want to go or not?

Shalnark: Of course.

They went north and arrived at Ice Temple.

Shalnark: It sure is cold here.

Kurapica: If you feel cold, how 'bout me?!

Shalnark: I forgot.

They walk through the Ice Temple and arrived at White Snow.

Shalnark: Let's go around the city.

They go around the city.

Soldier13: Are you a poacher?

Shalnark: She's not, she's a blacklist hunter.

Soldier13: What's the difference?

Shalnark: Are you stupid, idiot, or dumb?! Can't you distinguish between poacher and blacklist hunter?!

Soldier13: ??

Kurapica: Eh, sorry, don't mind her. * drags Shalnark over *

Citizen8: Feitan is going to the Tower of Ninetail again, he want the Thunder Stone to cure his mother.

Kurapica & Shalnark: FEITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN?!?!?!?!?!?!

Citizen12: What's wrong?

Kurapica: No, nothing wrong.

Citizen18: The ninetails protect the Inotium.

Kurapica: Should we go to the tower now?

Shalnark: If it's okay with you, I don't want 'that' happens again.

Kurapica: You sounds like my mom! Don't be too worried, that time, I'm tired, that's all!

Shalnark: You said that to me. But..

Kurapica: Oh, please, Shalnark, I'm sorry, so don't act like that.

Shalnark: Okay.

Kurapica: First of all, you're the one who forced me to do this, first, you forced me to make that 'Orange Fish Dish', then you forced me to join the contest, and then you forced me to go to the prince's birthday, and then you forced me to approaches him, and then you forced me to save him, and..

Shalnark: Stop! Okay, okay, I know, I forced you.

Kurapica: * smiles * Back to your old self, huh?

Shalnark: Yea.

So, they went to the Tower of Ninetail.
