Chapter 21

Everyone was sitting around the school Theatre having a table read. "Wow they have such an intersting first meeting." Killua whispers more to himself then anyone else. Gon leans over Killua's chair from behind him and whispers. "Talk about fate." Killua can feel his cheeks inflame as he jumps in his seat and turns around to face Gon. "You could say that." Killua whispers back. Killua's fingers lightly play with the chain of his necklace before turning back around. Gon's eyes catching the action, he noticed Killua fiddles with his necklace alot.

"Alright Killua we need to do your first meeting with Kurapika's character. Red Hiding Hood. Also known as the actual big bad wolf." Kurapika howls from the stage while Killua laughs and shakes his head from his seat. A few of the students opted to read their scripts from all over the room. They play out Snow White's brother's fiancé bringing Killua to Kurapika for protection before he disappears. They continue going through all the scenes, scene by scene. Killua not being able to help the blush and nerves, and for some reason a sense of familiarity when Gon and Him gets too close, his hands automatically playing with the chain of his necklace again. "Miss Bisky. Where is the rest of Act 2?" Killua asks. He feels uneasy having the story unfinished. He just knows there's more to it. He just can't figure out why.

Bisky fails to hide her smirk. "Oh I have it darling just forgot to give it to you guys, but that's a wrap for today." Everyone nods and starts collecting their stuff as Bisky looks at the final draft of Act 2, where Gon and Killua break the curse. Bisky sighs before glancing at Killua and Gon. She watches as Gon keeps naturally leaning towards Killua, Killua's cheeks brightening each time. Bisky chuckles, she has nothing to worry about, the curse will be broken in no time. Kurapika studies Bisky's mannerisms, before glancing in the direction she seems to be looking. For some reason he feels like she is off today. But then another part of him feels like she is excatly who she is. He almost has this spark inside him wanting to just burst out and do something. Kurapika chuckles to himself. "Yeah Pika because you are a witch." Kurapika rolls his eyes at his own absurdity. "You know whispering to yourself is a sign of insanity, but then again, that would mean I would be insane too." Kurapika jumps and turns to meet Chrollo's gaze. Kurapika feels a slight tingle go up his spine at the proximity. "I think you would make a great witch by the way, not as great as me though." Chrollo says with a teasing smirk.

Kurapika scoffs and quickly shoves him. "You wish, if we were witches I would totally kick your ass." Kurapika states his one eyebrow raised. Chrollo hums and shrugs, a smile on his face. "Guess we would never know. Maybe in another life?" Chrollo asks. Kurapika bites his lip to try and stop the smile. "You're on. And you're losing." Chrollo chuckles and shakes his head before holding out his hand. "Shake on it." Kurapika grasps his hand, a shock wave going through them both. Kurapika's eyes wide as he stares at Chrollo. Chrollo blinks and chuckles again. "Good grip. Uhm- I- " Chrollo shakes his head, seeming a loss for words. Leorio comes from behind Kurapika and touches his shoulder, a slight shock going through Kurapika and Leorio. Kurapika seeming flabbergasted, how could two people make him feel so? I don't know, but they feel important. Important in the same way. "Pika ready to go?" Kurapika quickly nods. "Yeah." As Leorio and Kurapika make their way to the door, Pika glances back at Chrollo, who is already looking at him. Bisky tsks silently to herself, her back up couple is proving to be difficult considering the love triangle. But interesting to watch, I mean even in another world they caught between each other. Almost like they are always fated to be in this constant love struggle.

"So I will see you tomorrow?" Gon asks. Killua nods as his hands automatically fiddle with the necklace once again. "Yeah of course." Gon glances at the necklace. "Okay I gotta ask, what's with the necklace? Is it something sentimental?" Killua blushes and looks at his necklace and then at Gon. "I-" Killua blinks, it feels very important, infact Killua feels like if he was ever without it he would die. But he doesn't even know why. " I am sorry if that's too personal its just you keep playing with it." Killua quickly shakes his head stating its okay and Gon isn't intruding or anything like that. "Yeah I guess you could say its sentimental." Killua whispers before pulling it out, revealing a beautiful engagement ring on the necklace string.

Gon gasps at the beauty of it and lightly touches it. Gon chuckles breathily. "I forgot to mention one other special thing about this place. A tradition of sorts." He whispers. Gon and Killua both gasp and back away as a memory flashed between them. Something that never even happened.  But how could they remember something that hasn't even happened? "The tradition is simple really. I always found it tedious really, but given the circumstances, It seems fitting. One would always propose in this garden." Gon whispers softly. Killua can't help but fiddle with his hands as he gulps. Killua awkwardly chuckles. "Anyways I should head home now. See you tomorrow yeah?" Gon nods, still dazed. Killua looks down at his necklace and blinks rapidly trying his hardest to remember who gave it to him. It had to have been his parents right? Perhaps it was their engagement ring? Yeah that makes sense."Killua Zoldyck, I have loved you the moment my axe killed that forsaken one behind you and instead of yelling at me like most people would, you thanked me." Killua shakes his head again. Kurapika snaps his fingers infront of Killua's face. "Oi earth to Kil!" Killua jumps in his spot and meets Kurapika and Leorio's concerned faces. When did he get to the car?

"You are the love of my life, my soulmate. I can't imagine my life without you, that's why I will be grateful for simply knowing you in this new found world we will find ourselves in and I vow right now I will stop at nothing to get you to fall in love with me. No matter what world or timeline we are in. You and I will always be one. I know I will always find you. Because you are my Snow White. So Snow will you do me the honour of marrying me?" Killua sobs out a chuckle before nodding his head aggressively. "Yes! Yes you stupid Charming man!" Gon chuckles as he places the ring on Killua's finger. "Leave it to you to insult me while saying yes." Killua chuckles before dropping to his knees beside Gon. "Shut up." Killua states while smiling before locking his lips with Gon's. Gon responds immediately, his hands gripping Killua's waist tugging him closer.

"Killua seriously are you okay?" Killua realized he zoned out again. He shakes his head quickly. "Sorry I am- I don't know maybe I am going crazy." Killua chuckles and opens the passenger door climbing in. Leorio and Kurapika look at each other weirdly before climbing in as well. Gon stands in the same spot watching them drive away. He feels a pang in his chest. Apart of him wants to rush after that car and he doesn't even know why. A hoot brought him out of his obsessive pining. Seriously Gon get a grip, you just met the guy you acting like his your- You are the love of my life, my soulmate. Gon blinks, the car hoots again. "Gon! Get your ass in this car!" Gon jumps and turns to look at an impatient Mito. "Like geez I know you're only getting your car tomorrow but don't have to be so sad about it." Gon apologizes quickly and gets in the car.

Bisky sits in her living room swirling around a glass of wine. "Well I suppose I should get things going...shouldn't I?" She whispers to herself. Bisky chuckles to herself, then her eyes glow pink. Bisky knew she could only perform two spells in this land, if she performs too many it could rouse suspicion with Pitou and Retz and then there would be no one left to help. So she has to be wise with her choices. "Well I have one shot of this...Emratualine frde liertu memories frde zefrnira past derafrne lierekpi day onwards (Dream of the memories of your past from this day onwards)". She only casts the spell on Killua, Gon, Kurapika, Chrollo and Leorio. They are her best bets.

That night everyone slept restlessly with a feeling of bittersweet nostalgia. Almost like they were one step away from their true selves. Killua and Gon toss and turn as their engagement replays in their minds like a broken record player. So much so they could recite their feelings, thoughts and actions in their sleep. They kissed like it was their last night alive. In a way it was. Leorio on the other hand was experiencing pain. His heart breaking over and over again as the same scene played out infront of him. The moment he realized Kurapika truly loved Chrollo and he had no chance. It as if someone did this to torture him. Besides despite the competition for Kurapika's heart Chrollo had it first and still does and he is still a friend, his leaving saddens his heart as well. Leorio can feel his anxious conflicted emotions throughout his whole body. Leorio internally sighs, if only Kurapika loved him. He woke up in a cold sweat panting as tears rolled down his cheeks. But as soon as he woke, he had forgotten everything, he wasn't even sure what he was crying about. All he knew was that he needed to let Kurapika know he loved him, even if it's the last thing he does.

"How dare you, you can't just decide you going to risk your life like that! Do you not think of those you leave behind if you die? D-Do you not think of me?" Kurapika groaned in his sleep. Subconsciously reaching out to Chrollo, essentially begging him to stay. Chrollo reached out wanting nothing more than to stay. To not risk everything, for nothing...because subconsciously he knew. Pitou and Retz won and now despite Kurapika being in reach, he is slipping through his fingers. "I did! God do you not think I thought this through a million times, I ran all the scenarios, all the possible outcomes and I even threw in some insane ones, and you were in all of them, I imagined the unnecessary pain I would inflict on you and I hated it, I imagined the pain I would inflict on all of you, every single council member it caused the worst shivers to run through my veins. But Pika you were one of the main reasons this decision was so hard for me. I don't desire to leave you, I don't but this is the only way, you have to believe me." Kurapika  wanted to drop to his knees, to beg him to just stay. But he knew that you can't change the past. Chrollo will always be his first love, he will always love him, nothing can change that and the thought of losing him scares him beyond anything. And Kurapika won't. He won't lose him again, even if it's the last thing he does. Chrollo's eyes widen as a small smile breaks out on his face and he plants a small kiss on Kurapika's forehead, causing Kurapika to whimper as his hands clenches on Chrollo's clothing like his life depended on it.

Chrollo woke up panting and sobbing at the memory. But it didn't stop. He was awake but this dream, this dream of his crush wouldn't stop playing. It was a world of them. A world of them in another life. As witches. Chrollo chuckles to himself thinking of his conversation with Kurapika today. Chrollo meets Kurapika's saddened eyes, he slowly walks towards him, Kurapika suddenly rushes forward and hugs him tightly shutting his eyes, Chrollo is shocked for a second until he wraps his arms around Kurapika's waist pulling him in closer and sniffing Kurapika's hair. Kurapika nuzzles his face in Chrollo's chest. "Come back to me." He whispers. Chrollo nods. "I will, I promise." They hold each other for a minute, neither moving or speaking. Chrollo chuckles to himself. "Well I'll be damned, either I have gone crazy, or I am experiencing memories from a past life. Which is impossible so that means I have gone crazy." Right? Kurapika gasps as he feels a familiar magic enter the battle and his eyes transition back to normal, his head whips from left to right trying to spot him. To see him. A hand lightly touches his shoulder. "Looking for me Pika?" Chrollo whispers deeply into Kurapika's ear as he shudders. He turns around, tears filling his eyes. He wants to hug and kiss him, but nows not the time. Kurapika wakes up with a start, his feelings even more conflicted than the day before. He always knew he had a thing for both Leorio and Chrollo but that dream just heightened it even more. "Witches in another life huh?" Kurapika whispers to himself before chuckling.

A/n Guess whose back. Back again. Charming and Snow! Hehe. Anyways hope y'all enjoy!
