Prologue : Prophecy x and x Future

~~~

Young beautiful lady, born to be an heiress
And young handsome man, born to be a guardian

Separated by destiny's will, yet fated to run into each other's arm again

Tragedy has set their hearts ablaze, but it will never end there

It was just a beginning

Secrets to unveil, desires to unfold

Memories to remember, hatred to get stronger

Mark of sin in black, upon his eyes
Orbs in glowing scarlet, mirror in her eyes

Chained in painful past, love will still find those who seek for it into the deepest of the hearts could hide.

My eyes fluttered open as it traced the face I haven't seen for so long ago. I felt like dreaming. I still can't believe I now have her again. Here. By my side.

All those forsaken years when I did nothing but to live for revenge after losing everything, losing her as I lose myself, it really felt surreal to find her in this cruel world. Not dead.

And yet... just yet.

I bit my lip, trying to swallow the bitter lump in my throat.

They already did something unforgivable to her. They just... easily did that even before I decided to dedicate my life in chasing for their heads.

Just how dare them-- those fuckin' spiders.

I stared at the once taintless skin on her abdomen, where a spider mark was sitting savagely. Disgust stings my scarlet blooded eyes. The imprint feels so alive to me, and it pains me to death that it eats her alive.

"You despises me now, right?"

I heard her soft voice, mumbling something outrageous like it was nothing.

And yet, I couldn't answer.

"If you have to kill me, don't hesitate anymore. You already vowed your life for revenge, then do it in the name of Kurta clan whom this mark destroyed."

I... I can't take this anymore.

"How could you say something like that so casually?! Did you forget already?! You are the--"

"Kurapika," it shatters me to hear her soft voice, saying something painful to understand.

"I... I'm not the heiress anymore. I can't be, it's already unworthy of me."

"Then how about me? Did you really forget? How much I--"

"Love is also something I cannot dare to have, especially from you. You supposed to be hating me."

"But I can't. I love you."

"Kill it. Kill me."

My rage just grew stronger. I simply couldn't take back what I just did. I claimed her lips harshly.

It shook her down. "Say that again in my lips." I stared intensely at her soft but shocked eyes.

The desires I suppressed for ages are now clear in my scarlet eyes in our dark space. Even I am not aware I am this crazy about her.

"You can't--" I shut her again with now a gentler kiss.

A tear escaped. I know it's from hers. I locked my eyes dearingly unto her now glowing orbs while my finger still caresses her soft lips.

"Kurapika-- I... I'm afraid. I don't know what to do anymore. You always make me don't want to let go of you, but what will going to happen to us? "

I locked her in my arms, not wanting to let her go too.

"Hold unto me until then. You're still the heiress that I want to serve, no matter what."
