Chapter 17 : Together x Through x Tough
~~~
I woke up, finding myself cuddled comfortably under Kurapika's embrace. My eyes stayed upon Kurapika's calm sleeping face, but then the intimate night that we have shared suddenly washed over my senses.
My face burned brightly as if I am suffering a fever. I released an unstable sigh as I carefully escaped to the bathroom.
I stared at myself through the mirror. I knew it. I was a blushing mess. And it became even worst when the whole scenario came into my mind like a flashback.
"F-fine... I-I'll stop... ahhh...p-pretending a-anymore... s-so p-please..." he suddenly withdrew his fiery lips on my collar bone.
"Say it again," he demanded like I'll regret it if I disobey. Kurapika is way too merciless.
"I... I promise to stick with you from now on. I'll quit denying, 'cause I-I am... Chizumi," I huffed like it's too hard to breathe. I'm sweating profusely even when the midnight air is too cold.
Kurapika became even more serious, and then he flashed a smile, holding happiness.
"Finally... I thought you like it better to get bombarded with intimacy than admitting. Though I don't mind, even for a straight two days..."
"H-hey! That's..." I just sighed in relief rather than defending myself, partly because I don't like it and partly because--
Do I really not like it? I almost lose my mind with his lips on my skin--
Nevermind... I just mean, it would be a waste. I just realized that I'll never win against him.
"Well then... welcome back, my Chizumi..."
I slapped my cheeks hard to somehow erase my memory of that night. But all of the sensation... seems to want to stay on my skin. Damn it, Kurapika!
In the end, I did give him the answer that he wanted even though it's against my will. My plan was to get him away from the dark path that I chose, but knowing him, he's more likely to take away that dark path from me. Sure I always love the idea of being with him, through bliss and bloodshed, but the fact that I'm already tainted will still be there, constantly challenging my faith.
In order to clear my thoughts, I decided to take a warm shower. After a nice bath, I passed through the mirror as I examined my damp naked body. I am still under recovery especially from the deep wounds.
Running my eyes through the sinful mark, I closed my scarlet eyes as I lean forward to the mirror.
"Had you see this mark that you hate so much, will you still be able to love me like that?"

When I was done refreshing up, I went back to the main room only to find everyone was already awake. Kurapika is also there, and upon meeting his gaze, I couldn't help but shy away with a blush.
"Ohayo!" Gon greeted as I returned it as well.
"I'm glad you're quickly healing," Leorio said as I nodded.
As the food is already served, we all took our share as we dig in altogether. Kurapika accidentally bumped lightly into my right arm as I let out a surprise yelp. Everyone looked at me confused as I let out an awkward laugh.
"Are you alright?" Killua asked.
"Y-yeah. Don't mind me ehee~"
Leorio seemed to catch something that he shouldn't. "I was just wondering how Kurapika manage to take off your mask..." he whistled at Kurapika.
