Purple Sorrow, Unending (Hunter Fanfiction)

For one reason or another, she left her original world and was "reborn" as a baby in another.

She thought she had finally found a complete family, but overnight she lost everything once more. All she had left was the brother who had given her a name.

At one year old, she developed her own Nen ability. Then, under threat from Feitan and Kuroro, she was forced to leave the brother who had been her only family and join the Phantom Troupe, the band of thieves from Meteor City.

At six, she took part in the Troupe's first major mission. Along the way, she saved a blond boy and secretly concealed her "betrayal" of the Troupe. Later, the Zoldyck family came after her, so she used that as an excuse to "leave" the Troupe temporarily and set off on her own.

At eight, she met him for the first time. Less than a day together was enough to stir feelings in her that she had never known before, for a boy the same age as she was in this life. A killer by trade, she fled to escape those feelings, leaving him only with a "goodbye" to remember her by. At the time, neither of them knew that one day they would become the most important people in each other's lives.

At ten, she left Whale Island, where she had lived for two years. She promised Gon, a friend she had made on the island, that they would take the Hunter Exam the following year. Then, for the Troupe's mission, she investigated the new Number Four who had replaced her, though she was now only an "unofficial member." She had one more reason to take the Hunter Exam: to keep an eye on Number Four.

At eleven, she used the fake ID card Hisoka had made for her to register for the Hunter Exam. At the venue, she ran into the blond boy she had saved years ago, saw Hisoka, the new Number Four, and was reunited with him, the boy with dazzling silver hair. Many things happened during the exam, and she learned that Hisoka was her brother and that he was a fake member of the Troupe. She decided to admit how she felt: she liked him, Killua Zoldyck, heir to a family of assassins. Later, she went with Gon and the others to the Zoldyck estate to bring him away. Then, to secure his freedom, she became engaged to him.

At twelve, she celebrated the most meaningful birthday of her life: a birthday with her family, a birthday with her friends, and a birthday with him. Afterward, they returned to Whale Island together. She kept thinking how wonderful it would be to live there peacefully forever, but another Troupe mission shattered the calm. In September, in Yorknew City, she was willing to stain both hands red to save Uvogin, who had always looked after her, and make the chain-user who was "a threat to the Troupe" disappear from the world. The silver-haired boy understood and accepted everything about her. She felt that she liked him even more. In the game, they met their good mentor and bad influence, Biscuit, but she left again, troubled by her guilt toward the blond boy, to search for an exorcist.

At thirteen, in NGL, she was badly wounded saving him. Then, to protect the people she cared about, she released the power sealed within her soul vessel. Her soul shattered, which was tantamount to ceasing to exist. That day was her thirteenth birthday.

After that, there was no more.

Their meeting was fated, their acquaintance was fated, their understanding was fated, and their love was fated. Everything had been destined from the moment they first met.

Though they were often apart, their feelings for each other would never change.

Dedicated to my dear Ya.

This story is destined not to have a sad ending.
