Kurapika knew someone had been tailing him for a while, and although he wasn't sure who it could possibly be and on top of that their presence wasn't of much concern to him. He was on a mission, collecting all of his brethren's eyes after sealing Chrollo's nen away. He was sick of constant travel, but he didn't have much of a choice in the matter. He knew he had to press on.

This presence... It was starting to become more bothersome to him every second. He had just successfully retrieved another pair of scarlet eyes and was walking through a wooded area towards his hotel room. 

He lets out a sigh, before halting in place, "You can come out now. I am well aware that you've been following me for some time now," The Kurta man bluntly announces, his eyes scanning the area up and down. No answer comes at first, prompting him to say, "I will not harm you if you show yourself."

You finally make yourself known, stepping out from behind a tree, and releasing your Zetsu, "I'm surprised that you could tell I was here."

"Is that so? You weren't hiding your presence very well if that truly is the case," Kurapika doesn't seem fazed by your aura in the slightest.

You feel a metaphorical cinderblock fall over your head, and you can feel yourself becoming more annoyed at this man after hearing him speak, "Well, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, considering what you are."

"What I am...?" Kurapika questions you curiously, struggling to conceal the shock that he's feeling, "What could you possibly mean by that?"

"You know exactly what I mean," You start, reaching for the dual daggers on your belt, "I've been following you so I know that you've been collecting scarlet eyes of the Kurta clan. They do not belong to you!"

'Just who is this woman? Her aura is completely hostile. Could she be a new member of the Troupe...?'  He watches you closely, allowing his eyes to run up and down on your body, 'That is not entirely impossible. What other reason could this woman have for following me?'

"Your silence must mean that you already know that," You start, your fingers inching closer to your weapons, "I don't want to fight if I don't have to, but it doesn't seem like you're going to give up those eyes without a fight."

His chains become visible on his hand as he readies himself for a fight, "You're correct about that, at least. The scarlet eyes do not belong to you, therefore I have no reason to return them to you."

You finally draw your daggers from their holsters, standing in a defensive stance, "How sickening." 

You wait for him to attack first, but he never does, prompting you to make the first move. You and him trade blows for quite some time, and you're generally able to block his chains with your daggers. One thing is made apparent during your battle with him; he is by no means a normal person, just as you had thought. Unfortunately, his chains begin to overpower you, so you decide to retreat for now and tend to your injuries before coming after him again.

Kurapika wasn't expecting you to disappear mid-battle, and he definitely thought that he'd be able to use his judgment chain on you before you escaped. He looked around for a little while, but you were nowhere to be found. He decided to head back to the hotel, but now he knew to be more cautious in the future.

He continued on his journey, but he knew that you were most likely still tailing him. After some time, you had started interfering with him however you could, causing him more problems than he would like to admit. While your aura towards him was still hostile, Kurapika felt that something was off about you. And he by all means knew that he shouldn't feel the way he does about you.

He was on a mission to collect another pair of his brethren's eyes, when you appeared to him, ready to battle again. He was getting more frustrated by your actions with each second that passed, yet, you were too agile, easily able to escape from him.

"Why are you doing this? Does hindering my mission bring you some type of pleasure?" Kurapika questions you, his hands balled into fists at his side.

"Of course not. I won't be happy until I've successfully stopped you," Comes your simple response. You stand in front of him, blocking his path to his destination, your hands already on the hilts of your daggers.

Kurapika holds his chain-covered hand out towards you, prompting you to jump backward in fear, "I will put an end to this now."

You hold your daggers out in front of you, sweat dripping down your forehead at his venomous aura. 'He's getting more serious now. Maybe he didn't perceive me as much of a threat before.'

This time the blonde-haired man makes the first move, his chains quickly coming towards you. You barely jump out of the way in time, noting his quick attacks and reaction times. You're barely able to counter all of his attacks, but you end up landing a successful blow on him, leaving his arm bloodied.

This fight continues on for several minutes before you're finally able to overpower him, pinning him to the ground, and basically straddling his abdomen. You're both panting for breath while you hold the tip of one of your daggers against his neck.

"I've seen you collecting the scarlet eyes... I know your kind. You're part of the Phantom Troupe, aren't you, sicko?" Disgust is evident in your facial expression as you say this.

Kurapika's eyes widen at the realization of why you had been tailing him this whole time, "I can assure you that I would never be associated with such thieves."

"Wait, what?" You still hold your dagger against his throat, but you're clearly baffled by his response, "I thought that you must be part of the Phantom Troupe to be stealing Kurta eyes like that."

"I'm the surviving member of the Kurta clan. I was collecting my brethren's eyes so that they could be remembered properly," He comes to his own realization, "You are also not a member of the Troupe?"

You finally pull your dagger away from his neck, incredulously replying with, "What? Of course not. The Phantom Troupe took many important people away from me, so I'm hunting them down."

"Is that so...?" He lets out a light chuckle, which is something you were truly not expecting, "It seems that our hatred for each other was misguided."

"I'm really sorry for hindering your mission. Oh- my name is (Y/N)!" You realize you're still sitting on top of him, and you feel your cheeks instantly heat up, "Sorry, let me stand up."

Kurapika tries to stop himself from grabbing your arm and pulling you back down, but unfortunately, he's unsuccessful in that aspect. When he realizes what he's done, his cheeks are a red tint, yet he says, "That won't be necessary."

You feel a sly smirk form on your face after hearing this, "Oh? And why is that?" You lean down closer to his face, feeling his hot breath against your cheeks.

Unable to control his own urges, he places his chain-covered hand on the back of your head and pulls your face down to his. His lips move passionately against yours, feverishly almost, as if he had been longing for this. 

And frankly, you can't blame him. This was also something that you wanted but had assumed could never be possible. This moment where your bodies and lips are pressed flush against each other was akin to something out of a romance novel.

After several moments of this, you finally pull away to catch your breath, your cheeks a dark red tint. Panting for breath, you stammer out, "I wasn't expecting that, but I'm not complaining."

"My apologies. I'm unsure of what came over me," He looks away from you now, clearly flustered and confused by his own actions.

"There's no need to apologize," You stand up from where you were perched on top of him, and offer him your hand with a smile on your face, "Let me help you up."

He hesitates before taking your hand, and slowly standing up.

"Can I help you with your mission? I feel bad about keeping you away from your brethren's eyes and I'd like to make it up to you."

"You already have..." He mumbles, mainly to himself, ignoring the confused look on your face, "I would appreciate that. Thank you."

He's still unsure if he can trust you or not, but hell, he really wants to, so he decides to give you a chance to prove yourself. He starts to walk away and you rush to catch up to him, walking beside him.

"I never caught your name," You point out to him, watching him curiously.

He doesn't bother to turn to look at you, stating his name with an unreadable expression on his face, "...Kurapika."
