[Main story complete] Chrolllo's bangs were damp with sweat and stuck to his forehead. His face was deathly pale from blood loss, and his left chest was soaked with blood. A falling shard of stone had pierced his heart.

Main pairing: Chrollo, with a little Kurapika. A work born of the bitter obsession of a die-hard Chrollo fan. [Fanfiction + transmigrate + anime + Hunter x Hunter + angst + Mary Sue]

[Excerpt]

“Gu Qing...” Kurapika suddenly said. “It’s a little strange, but even though I was wary of you at first, you’ve always felt familiar to me, as if we’d known each other for a long time.”

He turned and gazed steadily at me.

Meleoron hunched over his computer, his hefty body shaking as his fingers flew across the keyboard. He crunched a potato chip. “Found it. This client has a really strange name.”

“Ch...rollo Lucilfer. What a mouthful,” Meleoron said.

.

“You’re still alive?” he suddenly asked.

I was in too much pain to speak, so I could only nod.

Then came his next question: “If you’re alive, why haven’t you returned to the troupe?”

“Cough, cough. Feitan,” I said. “I left the troupe.”

.

“Mr. Chrollo, is there anything you regret? Or even something you regret a little?”

“Something I regret?” The man instinctively raised his left hand to cover his mouth.

Could Chrollo regret killing Gu Qing?

After a moment, Chrollo shook his head.

“No,” he said.

.

“You killed my people, then turned around and raised me. Was that fun for you?! Or is every spider cold-blooded?”

I watched the blond boy bow his head and weep in misery. In the end, I told him the truth. “I wasn’t playing with your feelings. When I first went to find you, it was to eliminate you once and for all.”

.

“Cough, cough... Don’t cry...”

Chrollo touched my cheek with one hand, then quickly let it fall. His breath was weaker than ever.

The young man's bangs were damp with sweat and stuck to his forehead. His face was deathly pale from blood loss, and his left chest was soaked with blood. It dripped from his clothes onto the ground.

A falling shard of stone had pierced his heart.

.

Once upon a time, there was a wildly arrogant little girl. She took the future leader of a band of thieves as her underling and threatened the boy into protecting her for the rest of her life.

But as the days and nights passed, the boy must have regretted it, because he hired someone to hunt her down.

Hey, Chrollo, didn’t you want to kill me? Why did you throw yourself in front of me at the last moment?

It turned out that the boy was a liar, just like the girl.

“The contract to assassinate you was eventually withdrawn by the client, but it was too late.”

“We went looking for your body together afterward!”

“The leader inexplicably coughed up a lot of blood that day...”

“It’s simple. He left the choice up to you.”

“Have you ever regretted anything? The Sunflower Seed Munching, Slacking-Off Club”

“...I have!”
