This is the last chapter. See what happens next!
"What are you doing?! Get your hands off my daughter!" Right Nostrad screamed out in rage. Quickly, Kurapika and Neon broke away from each other's arms.
"We.I was just comforting her, Nostrad-sama. Neon was crying and."
"I don't need any of your explanations! Caring for her is not part of your job!"
"But.am I not her bodyguard? She's supposed to be my priority."
"Not anymore."
Kurapika stared at his employers flushed and angry face. He suddenly had a feeling of dread. He knew Right had something up his sleeve.
"What do you mean, Nostrad-sama?"
"What I mean, is you will no longer serve as her bodyguard. She doesn't need one anymore. You'll be my personal bodyguard from now on."
"No bodyguard for Neon?" Kurapika looked at the pink-haired girl beside him, clinging to his sleeve, her whole body shaking. "But sir that would be dangerous! What if she gets kidnapped or."
"I don't give a damn!" Right stomped his foot and widened his eyes with emphasis. "And besides, that will never happen.because I'll see to it that she never sets a foot out of this wing!"
Kurapika stared at this deranged old man in front of him. "Are you saying you're going to imprison your own daughter?!"
"There's no point in guarding her. She's useless! I'd rather not waste money now that I'll be making mistakes in the future because of her carelessness!" Right pivoted and walked towards the open door.
"Noooo!!!" Neon ran across the room and grabbed her father's arm. "Papa, you can't do this! I thought you loved me! Papa! Please don't punish me like this!"
"Shut up!" Right flung his arm, bringing Neon to the floor with a loud thud. Without looking back, he walked towards the door. He was barely even able to touch the knob when something cold and hard gripped him in a death- lock embrace.
"What the." Mr. Nostrad turned, only to see the chain coming from his employee. But what scared him the most, were his captor's eyes.
"Scarlet eyes!" he gasped. Kurapika's blood red eyes flared anger, his mouth turning into a frown as he came closer to his boss.
"You.I've never met anyone as despicable as you!" Kurapika hissed. "You're no different than the Genei Ryodan! You could care less of who you hurt! In fact. they have more compassion than you do!" The chain-user prepared his other fist. "They kill strangers but you.you're killing your own daughter with your selfishness and greed!" Kurapika started to back up his arm, his fist shaking. "How dare you hurt her! Your own flesh and blood!" Right received one blow.then two.blood splattered from his nose and mouth. The third blow was coming.then Kurapika stopped. Gentle, pale hands were clinging desperately at his arm.Neon's hands.
"Please stop, Kurapika-chan,"
"But.Neon-sama.he hit you!"
"He's still my father.and in a way, I still love him. Please stop."
Kurapika looked at his out-cold employer. His rage subsided, but it wasn't enough to make his eyes green again. He let go of Right's collar, letting him fall to the floor, unconscious.
"Neon, pack your things."
"Huh? But why?"
"Would you rather stay here and be miserable your whole life?"
"You mean.run away?! I can't! Even though I have enough money to fend for myself, I don't have any other home or anyone to go to!"
"I'm not saying you'll go alone."
Neon looked straight into Kurapika's crimson eyes. Then, she understood.
"You mean.you'll be coming with me, Kurapika-chan?"
"More like the other way around. You'll be coming with me."
"Kurapika-chan!"
"Hurry and pack your things before your father wakes up. I'll get my suitcase," and with that, the chain-user ran out of the room. Quickly, Neon emptied her closets of clothes and her safe of cash and credit cards. Just as she closed the lid to her huge suitcase, Kurapika came in with a small one.
"Are you ready?" Kurapika asked, his eyes still blazing red.
"Yes."
"Good. I'll carry your suitcase and you can carry mine. Let's go," Kurapika pulled his boss towards the door.
"Wait." Neon gently pried her hand out of the blonde Kuruta's grasp and knelt down beside her father.
"I'm sorry for a lot of things, Papa. But most of all, I'm sorry I never got to know you better," and with that, the girl kissed her father's cheek for the first time in a very long time, and may as well be the last.
"Neon-sama, let's go!"
With one last glance at her father, the Nostrad heiress ran towards the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kurapika gripped the steering wheel tightly. The rain poured down hard on the benz. If anyone were after them, it would take a great deal of difficulty. The chain-user had successfully fooled the guards, saying that he had to take the boss to the hospital. Neon pretended to be sick of course. As they drove farther and farther from the mansion, Neon began to relax. She looked at the suitcases on the backseat.full of clothes, full of old memories. Then, she looked at the young man beside her, looking very serious.and his eyes still showing that red color of anger, hate or rage.
"Kurapika-chan.why are you still so angry?"
"Huh?!" Kurapika looked in the rearview mirror, sighed and closed his eyes. When he opened them, it was back to the shade of green.
"I'm sorry, Neon-sama.I didn't mean to frighten you. I couldn't help but remember what happened a few hours ago."
"I'm not frightened. And please stop calling me Neon-sama. I'm not your boss anymore, remember?"
"Oh.then.what should I call you?"
"Neon-chan would do just fine."
"Neon-chan."
Silence spread across them again as they continue to make their way to the night. Then, Kurapika remembered something.
"Neon-sa.I mean, Neon-chan, did you bring along your treasures?" "No."
"Huh? But I thought you loved them so much. Especially those red eyes."
"Oh, the red eyes are in the trunk but I don't think I need it anymore. I have you!" and happily, Neon embraced the chain-user.
"H-hey! Slow down." Kurapika chuckled nervously.
"Will you really take me into your care, Kurapika-chan?"
"Of course."
"And be there for me?"
"Always."
"Thank you." Neon planted a gentle kiss on Kurapika's cheek. "Goodnight, Kurapika-chan."
Kurapika looked at the girl beside him. In seconds, she was asleep, leaning her head against his shoulder. A smile rippled from his eyes down to his lips. He turned and managed a kiss on top of the girl's forehead. He knew at that very moment, that he would never be able to leave her.never let her be hurt.never let her out of his life.not now, not ever.
