"I-I'm doing good, thanks to you." I replied and there was an awkward silence.

I wasn't used to talking to him in a normal way, I was used to the bickers and arguments we had.

"You fight... good." He commented and this made me somehow blush.

"I fight good? You fight good. Do you realize how many times you've saved me?" 

"Tch. More than hundreds, if not for me you gone idiot."

"Oh, it's not like I asked you to save me!"

"But you did with mind telepathy."

"Telepathy? Did you lose your head when you get crushed by the rocks? Cause you becoming stupid again!"

"Me no regret saving you, will do it again." I flinched at what he said, and I just stared at him.

He looked at me and I felt my whole body going crazy again. I felt my face flush, but I couldn't get myself to look away. It was as if his eyes were drawing me closer to him and I couldn't do anything to get out of it.

"If you guys kiss, I'm gonna puke." Kurapika commented and I quickly looked away.

"Way to burst their bubble man." Shalnark said and Kurapika stood up while pointing the gun at him. "What? Are you only boastful because you have a gun? Why don't you fight me fair and square?" 

Shalnark stood his ground and the two of them had a glaring contest. I know Kurapika hates the troupe, but he wouldn't go and kill Shalnark right? I had hope that he didn't, but when Feitan saw him pulling the trigger, he immediately went to Nobunaga and spun the steering wheel.

BANG!

I flew forward with the sudden movement of the bus and looked if Shalnark was okay. Thanks to Feitan, he only got shot on the shoulder. Kurapika was aiming for his head.

"Kurapika, are you crazy!" Killua went in the way as soon as Kurapika regained his balance.

"I don't care if I'm crazy or not, I will never let them insult me again! As long as they're all alive, I will never stop until they're all dead!" Kurapika pushed Killua out of the way and pointed the gun at Chrollo.

He was about to pull the trigger, but Feitan was quick enough to kick it away. Kurapika then looked at me and rushed towards me. Everything happened so fast that I didn't realize he pointed the knife at my neck and held me hostage.

"Kurapika! Stop this madness!" Leorio shouted.

"No, I've come this far to finally put them all under my control!" Kurapika said and I didn't realize that I was already crying.

"W-what do you mean? Y/n is our friend, why are you doing this to her?" Gon took a step forward, confusion was shown on his face as he too was shocked by Kurapika's actions.

"Thanks to Y/n, they can't do anything but to follow my order." Kurapika stated. 

"Y/n had nothing to do with this, please let her go." Gon begged but Kurapika only laughed wickedly.

"Oh but she does have to do with everything. Like what I said, I can control those f**king spiders because of her! Why? It's because Feitan is in love with Y/n and his troupe will do anything to protect her. That's their bro code, aren't I right, Chrollo?"

Feitan took a step forward, but Kurapika tightened his grip to the point I could feel the knife digging into my skin.

"Take another step and I will NOT hesitate to kill her!" Kurapika shouted and the tears from my eyes continued to stream down.

I couldn't believe that this was Kurapika, he just confessed to me earlier as well.

"But I thought you liked Y/n." Killua pointed out and Kurapika scoffed.

"That was just an act, I knew Y/n liked me before and I thought I could use that to my advantage. But your feelings had changed now right Y/n?" Kurapika sniffed my ear, and I tried moving away, but failed. "I have you to thank for, thank you for being Feitan's weakness. Because of you, I can finally kill all of them."

I looked at Feitan, who had this worried yet reassuring look. I could tell that he was finding out a way to save me, without hurting me. If what Kurapika said was true, if Feitan really likes me, then why do I feel so happy?

I should be worrying about my life right? Why do I feel warmth knowing that I could die any moment. 

It's because I heard what I wanted to hear... does that even make sense? If I were to die now, at least I died knowing that the person I've began to fall in love with, loves me back.

"You forgot one thing Kurapika." Chrollo, their leader, finally spoke up and was smiling at Kurapika. "You forgot that Y/n would fight anyone and push anyone, including you." 

All of the sudden, Nobunaga turned the bus, causing Kurapika to loosen his grip on my neck. I took this opportunity to push Kurapika away and ran to Feitan. Feitan caught me in his arms while Phinks charged forward and pinned Kurapika down.

"He also forgot that I'm the driver." Nobunaga added, which was unnecessary.

"Kurapika, what has gotten into you?" Leorio questioned.

Kurapika struggled to try and escape from Phinks, but to no avail. 

"Are you okay?" Feitan asked me as he checked the cut on my neck.

All I could do was nod as I was still traumatized by the recent incident. Feitan did embraced me and I don't know why, but I cried in his arms. He slowly caresses my hair and this was the first time I saw this side of him.

"Shhh, you safe now, me won't let anyone hurt you." He told me and I smiled.

I guess I broke down into his arms because I get another chance to live and be with him. If Kurapika had really killed me, then I wouldn't have this moment with Feitan. I then remembered what Kurapika said earlier, that Feitan loves me. I looked up in his eyes and he wiped my tears away with his thumb.

"Hey idiot, is it true that you... love me?" I asked him and he stared at me.

There was a moment of silence between us before Shalnark went into view with a cheeky smile.

"Of course he does you idiot, isn't it obvious?" Shalnark said in a sarcastic, yet jokingly voice.

I felt my face heating up and I buried it into Feitan's chest. 

He smells so good! 

Like a smell of the ocean breeze, mixed with toxicity and blood.

"Just kiss already!" Shalnark exclaimed and I pushed Feitan away.

"N-no way in hell I would ever date someone like him!" I stated and they all laugh.

"Yeah, keep telling yourself that!"
