Author's Notes: I don't own Hunter X Hunter and some characters are not part of Hunter X Hunter.

Kurapika was passing by the aisle as girls greet him. Why girls? He is handsome, intelligent and many things to describe about him. But he doesn't care that he's popular. He is also human like them. He's just simple. He arrived inside his classroom as people greet him with warm smiles. He was also the president of their class. He was chatting some of his friends when he looked outside of the window he saw a girl with a pink hair which is tied in a bonnet. Kurapika never saw her before. His classmate passed in front of him and when he looked to the window again the girl was gone. 'Strange', he thought. 'Her eyes were forest green. I wonder if my friend's know her'.

~*~*~*~*~

They have their P.E. class as Kurapika and some of the boys we're playing basketball. And girls we're cheering for them especially for Kurapika. He passed the ball to his teammates and as he looked to the cherry blossoms tree he saw her again. 'Who is she?' Kurapika thought. So he ran to her but she ran away. When she reached where she had gone through she had vanished. 'Weird', he thought, scratching his cheek. 'Nobody can vanish like that so easily'. He was about to go back to the gym as he turn around he saw her there. He was so frightened that he back off. "Who are you?" he asked.

"Neon...Nostrad. You?" the ghost asked back.

"K-Kurapika", Kurapika was so afraid that he stammers his words. "I h- haven't seen you around. A new student I guess?" the ghost shook her head.

"Do you believe in ghosts?"

"I-I do if I saw one", he answered.

"Well I am!" Neon said, smiling.

"Really?" Kurapika said testing her.

"Of course! I'll talk to you later! See you around Kurapika!" after that Neon vanished. Kurapika went back to the gym. His expression cannot be described.

"Hey Kurapika! What's up? Are you okay man?" Leonard, his friend asked.

"I'm fine Leo!" Kurapika replied. But actually he wasn't. He grabbed Leonard's arm and whispered something in his ear. "Actually I'm not! A ghost just talked to me!"

"Eh? That's impossible!" said Leonard as they went to the boy's room to change.

"Seriously! Her name is Neon Nostrad!" Kurapika exclaimed, as he took of his P.E. t-shirt and changed in his clothes.

"Neon? Nostrad? This is unbelievable!" Leonard shrieked out as he was done changing his clothes.

"Huh? Why?" Kurapika asked.

"Neon Nostrad studies here but an accident happened to her last year and she died", Leonard explained, as the two went together to their classroom.

"What kind of accident?" Kurapika asked again.

"That we are not sure of!" his friend replied.

"I see", was all Kurapika could say. But why would Neon showed up to him? Is there something she wants? He tried to listen to what their sensei is telling them coz' he couldn't concentrate.

~*~*~*~*~

Kurapika's eyes were downcast as he is thinking of that ghost, Neon. He saw two feet across him. He looked up and saw Neon, smiling. "You're going home?' Neon asked.

"Uh...yeah!" Kurapika answered.

"Can I come with you?"

"Sure" as they exit the gates. "Ah Neon will you please tell me-"

"Why I'm showing up to you? Is that what you want to ask?"

"Yeah", Kurapika answered after a moment's paused.

"Well you're the only one who can see me here", Neon answered. "Don't ask me why".

"Oh...do you have a message for me?" he asked. She looked at him and smiled. He blushed on how she smiled.

"I want you to help me but that will be later", she told him. "I know you're confused I'll explain another time!" they stopped at his house and he looked at her.

"Neon", Kurapika said too softly.

"Y-Yes?" Neon said, feeling herself flushing the way he smile and the way he looked at her.

"I'll be honored to help you. I'm lucky I have a friend who is a ghost. Remember I'm here for you!" he whispered, and then he went in to his house.

~*~*~*~*~

That next day, at lunch time, Kurapika was sitting alone under the cherry blossom tree reading a book until Neon sat beside her. "Hi Kurapika!" Neon greeted.

"Hi Neon!" Kurapika greeted back as he closed the book. Before when Neon will show up, he will be so shocked. But now it didn't matter to him. He had understood why Neon will just show up to him.

"Kurapika I want you to see my past. Is that all right?" she asked.

"Sure! So that I'll know the whole story!" he replied.

"Close your eyes!" Neon demanded. Kurapika did. And Neon let him go back to the past.

Flashback

Neon Nostrad was a new student in first year high school. She had many friends too. Until second year she is still classmates with her friend's in first year. She was so lucky. They have CLF class that time and Neon was sitting near the door. She looked outside to see Kurapika walking confidently reading a notebook in hand. She paused. He was so handsome. She admits she was in love at first sight. That recess Neon asked her closed friend Joan who was that guy with yellow hair and blue eyes. Joan knows what she meant...the popular student named Kurapika. "Almost all of the girls have a crush on him! But actually...he doesn't mind. It's nothing to him. For him crush is only admiration!" Joan said. "Don't tell me you have a crush on him? Just like those girls?" Joan asked with an evil grin on her face.

"Actually I was in love at first sight!" Neon replied too softly. As she started to blush.

"Oh man! It's like a disease! Your one of them!" her friend exclaimed.

"Why? Don't you have a crush on him too?" Neon asked.

"No. But", Joan started to blush. "I have a crush whose name is Leonard! Kurapika's best friend! Ssh...it's a secret okay?" she said. Neon started teasing her.

~*~*~*~*~

Neon was about to go home early that night if not for a stalker following her. She walked faster and faster until that person grabbed her arm. She didn't know the person really. He tried kissing her in the neck and she also slapped him...hard! Neon fell to the ground with him on top. The man was unbuttoning her clothes while she screamed louder. Nobody can hear her inside the campus. The man didn't attempt to rape her. He wants to kill her. He quickly reached a dagger in his pocket and stabs her in the heart. Then he left her...now lifeless. That morning student's had found Neon's body. Right Nostrad, Neon's father, said that there was an argument between him and one businessman inside the conference in Right's office. And that maybe he wants revenge so that's why he killed Right's daughter instead. Right was correct! The person who killed his daughter was that businessman, the one who argued him.

End Of Flashback.

Kurapika opened his eyes and look at Neon beside him. Her tears were flowing from her eyes. "Horrible isn't it? And how strange a ghost will cry. I'm not real", Neon said. Kurapika reached for her and hugged her. She was almost real! For why he could hug a ghost.

"Everything's fine now! You have justice at last!" Kurapika said, trying to comfort her. "How I wished I was there to save you! How I wished I can turn the past!"

"No Kurapika! I don't want you to get involved!" she sobbed in his chest. "You know now that I love you. So I would rather die that you'll be in trouble!"

"Damned it! If we we're closed friends I could have-"Neon put her finger to his lips to silenced him.

"If we we're closed friends I wished we have the same feelings. But that is selfish! So I would rather see you happy!" Neon told him sincerely. "I love you! You don't have to react on that! I understand", she added. Kurapika don't know what to say. He holds her tighter.

~*~*~*~*~

It was dismissal time as Kurapika and Leonard went to see Neon's friend who is Joan. They had seen her putting some things inside her locker. And when she closed it she had seen Kurapika and Leonard. Joan blushed. "Hi Jo!" Leonard greeted.

"H-Hi Leonard!" Joan greeted, shyly.

"Hi Joan! I know it's late but I want to say sorry on what happened to your friend...Neon", Kurapika began. Joan was shocked on his words. How did he know?

"How did you know?" she asked.

"Well...I know you'll ask me that. Neon as a ghost is showing up on me...talks to me! And showed me her past", he answered her. Joan doesn't know what to say. She missed Neon, that's what she only knows.

"Do me a favor Kurapika", Joan said.

"Anything".

"Tell her...I missed her so", Joan started to cry. Leonard went to her and taps her shoulders. Kurapika nod his head in reply.

~*~*~*~*~

Kurapika was lying on his bed and starring up at the ceiling. Life is precious! He was somewhat proud that he had a friend who is a ghost. 'And that ghost loved me', Kurapika thought. His cheeks were flushing on how Neon confessed to him...honestly. The three words were like a mantra on his head. But it hit him! When Neon told him he doesn't have to react on what she said. But why dos he feels guilty? Why? "Hi Kurapika!" Neon greeted, sitting on his bed. Kurapika sat up on his bed and ran his fingers through his yellow hair. Kurapika caught her blushing.

"Why are you blushing?" Kurapika asked with a grin on his face.

"W-Well...you look cute...really!" Neon replied.

"That's why you were in love at first sight in me!" he joked. "But...what if I have feelings for you we can't-"

"Be together. I know", she finished. "But I would rather be happy if you love another person", she added. Kurapika hold her hand firmly.

"But what if I do have feelings for you?" Neon's expression changed.

"Then I'll go back to heaven!" Neon said to him. Kurapika could feel his jaw dropped.
