A/n : We gonna start this one a lil differently hehe
Kurapika slowly gets ready, the memories of the night before flashing in his mind on repeat. "This dream won't leave me alone" he whispers to himself. Killua was more than shocked when Kurapika of all people was late to pick him up in the morning, completely silent. "Pika?" Killua whispers softly in confusion. Kurapika sighs loudly and turns to face Killua. "I had a weird dream last night." Recognition flickered in Killua's eyes causing Kurapika to gasp and slam his hand down on the wheel. "You had one too didn't you! About us as witches! Right?" Killua nodded. "Let me guess Gon was like your soulmate?" Killua nods once again, his eyes wide. "Well mine seemed to be both Chrollo and Leorio and now I don't know what to do with myself." Kurapika groans and knocks his head on the steering wheel repeatedly.
"What do you think it means? Because it kinda feels like the play we're doing. But it's not like we just dreaming of that world! It feels too real. Everything feels too real. I have been having little flashes of this since we met Gon." Kurapika whipped his head in the direction of Killua, eyes wide. "You don't think?" Killua blinked then gave a nervous chuckle. "No...that's not possible right? Our play could not possibly be who we really are." Kurapika shrugged his shoulders a passive look on his face. He isn't so sure but for some reason the one person he thinks he needs to speak to is Bisky. For now he will leave Killua's mind in ease, as for him. He would like some answers. "Yeah I suppose you're right. Let's get going then!"
Kurapika barely spoke the entire drive, didn't greet Leorio, who was looking just as bewildered as Killua and himself. Meaning everyone involved in this life could have had these dreams last night. Only more of a reason to speak to Bisky. When Leorio wanted to ask what's wrong Killua swiftly shook his head and told him to leave it be. Once Kurapika was parked he rushed off with a "have to be somewhere." And sped walked to Bisky. Bumping into someone on the way. "Wow there beautiful." Kurapika looked up at Chrollo. Typical. "You won't believe it but we were witches in another life last night. It felt so..."
"Real?" Kurapika filled in. Chrollo's eyes widened, realization flickering across his expression. "You had it too then?" Kurapika simply nods looking at Chrollo with an unreadable expression, which Chrollo seemed to read. "You getting to the bottom of this aren't you? We aren't the only ones to have these dreams are we?" Kurapika licked his bottom lip and tilted his head. If he says it out loud he will surely sound crazy right? "Going to Bisky then?" Kurapika's eyes widened. How on earth did he? "I will accompany you, it makes the most logical sense she wrote the play, if anyone knew anything it would be her." Kurapika just nods and continues walking, aware of the fact that Chrollo is following him.
When they round the corner to Bisky's office the door seemingly opens by itself which honestly. What the fuck? Because now. Now this is just creepy. Bisky looks between the two of them and chuckles. She gestures at the two chairs infront of her desk. Kurapika and Chrollo glance at each other before sitting down. "I knew it would be you two and if I didn't add my dear Black Book there to the list of people it would've just been you my dear Scarlet." Kurapika and Chrollo both gasped as their bodies reclined back and pain seemed to intertwine itself with their bodies. "Pika—" Chrollo gasped out reaching for his hand. Bisky winced. "Sorry about that, I had to test the theory if I said your witch names what would happen." Kurapika sent a quick glare her way before reaching out for Chrollo's hand. Trying to find him... grasp him but he felt trapped in an abyss, somewhere dark.
"Chrollo!? CHROLLO!? Can you hear me!?" Kurapika screamed. Bisky appeared before him and clicked her tongue, Kurapika took a step back. "Now Now Scarlet, don't be so rash. I am just having a quick conversation with the both of you." Kurapika shook his head quickly and glared at her. "Stop calling me that." Bisky shrugs before tilting her head. "I am simply calling you, your witch name." Kurapika's eyes widened his mouth opening. Bisky laughed. "Yes well you were always one of the smart ones. I couldn't risk waking up Killua or Gon. But you? Chrollo? Leorio? You three I could risk waking up. Which is why I knew the second I gave all five of you those dreams. You two would be here. But now we have a decision to make. I only have enough magic for two spells. Well one now. I used the other one on the dreams. Well that's just wrong. I have more magic its just—" Kurapika cut her off quickly. Because it all made sense now. He could feel it. The Play. Bisky was smart. Brilliant even. It was a great way to stay under the radar. "You can't risk it. So why wake us up? What could we possibly do to help this situation?"
Bisky gasped. "Pika, you're smarter than that. What's the one definitive way to cancel a spell?" Kurapika gulped. True loves kiss. But why did she give the dreams to all of us then? "I know what you're thinking and the reasoning is simple. The fates seemed it wise to give you two great soulmates in the same universe, in the same timeline. It wouldn't matter who you kiss. Leorio or Chrollo. But Chrollo well—" Kurapika didn't need to be told. He saw the memories. He knows what he did. "I picked him." Bisky simply nods.
Kurapika's eyes narrow as he nods. "I'll do whatever it takes. So Merlin help me." Bisky smirks and then chuckles while shaking her head. Kurapika gives her a confused look. "Its just—that's the Kurapika I know. I knew he was in there somewhere. Also theres another matter. Only one of you may remember this. Once this conversation is over. You might not remember everything but you will atleast know who you are and hence get the mission done. You need to choose which one of you should be able to remember." Kurapika's eyes widen, he needs to think logistically about it. There can be no feelings involved. It could help if he had his memories back, then he would know what his gut would want. His witch gut. Feelings wise, it would be cruel to have Chrollo remember especially if in this world it seems I am closer to Leorio then Chrollo. It would pain him to see that unfold while having to get me to kiss him. However if I were to remember it would make the kiss easy access as there would be no obstacles. Feelings wise Leorio would be hurt again. In two different instances. "It has to be me. It's our best shot at achieving the true loves kiss without any complications."
Biksy smiles. "Oh you're definitely back. I am so glad, as powerful as I am doing this by myself is totally draining." Kurapika finds himself chuckling which feels weird in terms of in this world or universe she is his teacher. But he feels a sense of companionship. Perhaps she did mentor him in the old world. It feels familiar but their relationship wasn't just one of learning. It was friendship. "I am sorry you had to deal with this alone." Kurapika whispers.
Bisky quickly shakes her head. "No, this was a plan I made last minute to provide us a fighting shot. I just didn't have time to add one of you to the equation. But I have to go now Kurapika, Chrollo is still waiting in the darkness."

Chrollo scoffs as he sits in the middle of the abyss. What a weird day. "Black Book back to brooding are we, I thought those days were behind you." Chrollo stands up quickly as Bisky appears before him. He shrugs, feeling deja vu. "Well—what can I say. Day's been pretty weird. So let's just skip the whole mystical conversation and skip right to the task. What do you need?"
Bisky takes a slow walk towards him, Chrollo standing his ground and tilting his chin upwards. She chuckles and shakes her head. "You always were the straight to business type. You have no questions?" Chrollo sighs and looks around before facing her again. "I can only assume those dreams had everything to do with this and I am assuming whatever you need done will help provide the answers. So no, I don't need questions answered because if we can complete these tasks, everything will be sorted anyways."
Bisky nods. "Fair, so I will simply inform you, yes those memories were real and you are a witch. I simply need you and Kurapika to kiss to break the spell. One of you will remember this conversation the other won't." Chrollo nods, he wants to laugh. He does. Truly. Because True Loves kiss? Ridiculous. But then again he feels this charged connection with Kurapika and he knows what he saw and felt were real and he needs that back. He misses someone he doesn't even remember and it hurts. "Who gets to remember?" Chrollo whispers.
"That's the choice the two of you will make. You two think alike most of the time. I am sure you would have the same thought process." Bisky responded casually. Like what she said was a fact that they all knew. It made Chrollo smile like he had a stupid highschool crush. Which he supposes he does. But he also is very aware his other self. Or true self is far from a teenager so he can't believe himself. Logistically speaking Kurapika would be the wisest option, because Leorio is an obstacle they can't avoid. "Pika." Chrollo states. Bisky smiles and snaps her fingers.
Chrollo and Kurapika sit in Miss Bisky's office going over some line changes for the scene when Kurapika looks at him with such intensity that Chrollo wishes he knew what it meant. Kurapika has the eyes of someone who knows something he doesn't. And it feels as though Kurapika is reaching out, begging him to hear his scream. Telling him to listen, to fight. To remember. But what? What does Chrollo possibly need to remember? "I think we're done for the day. Kurapika please do stay behind."
Chrollo stands and smiles down at Kurapika. "Want me to wait for you?" Kurapika glances at Bisky. Whose face is neutral. Indecipherable. "Nah, I'll be fine. I'll catch you later?" Chrollo nods and leaves the room.
===
Kurapika faces Bisky and raises his eyebrow. "I am assuming you would like us to do this on a particular date?"
Biksy folds her hands on her desk and nods. "I want you two to go on a date. Either tomorrow or the day after that. Kiss at the end of the date. We can only hope you two can break the curse. My only fear is that Killua and Gon need to kiss in order for it to be broken."
Kurapika nods. "Why not kiss him today?" Bisky chuckles and smirks at him. Kurapika immediately flushes at the implication of her eyes. "Whatever you are think—"
"—Eager are we?"
"Knew it."
"We don't want to risk having you two seen all ready to kiss after I used that spell a second ago. We at risk of being discovered. Our plan needs to fly under the radar." Bisky says in whisper. Almost as if she is afraid the walls have ears and are ready to report back to their mistresses.
Kurapika nods again. "So writing a play about us is under the radar?" Kurapika teases. Even though he knows it was downright brilliant. Bisky rolls her eyes and sends him a quick glare. "Look I came up with what I could last minute, plus you have to admit it helped you guys remember a lot of things." Kurapika snorts but he can't help but agree because the play has been helping them subconsciously remember things even before she dream spelled them. It was a brilliant plan indeed.
And they will succeed.
If it's the last thing he does.
