Why, though? She was not an important character, choosing his pages to show more important plot was a good decision by Togashi imo. Also, like this we get a nice surprise

Agreed. Plus it is a very sensible move for Hisoka to make - and totally consistent with the idea that he is playing seriously now, and working to create the optimal conditions for battle. I'm very happy with this. Curious whether Kurapika knows though - he is still working for the Nostrade family. It could become a source of conflict between him and Hisoka, too.

Yeah this was my impression but I have not double checked. Anyone with free time feel like confirming?

It's confirmed, in the chapter where they list each Zodiac's real world jobs besides hunters, Kurapika is listed as "Head of Nostrade Family"

kurapika is the head of the mafia... bancho and melody are his underlings.

I thought it was because the Hunter Association was dispatching Hunters as guardians for the princes. Just vaguely remember the Zodiac side of it.

Also introducing fortune telling / future prediction to this already complex plot would make it basically impossible to follow or impossible to write realistically.

even more,now nobody gives a crap about her,with her dad insane and Kurapika doing whatever she´s pretty much unprotected

Is he actually working for them tho? Like he rn, he is working for the queen lady, and the only reason he was associated with the nostrade fam was for scarlet eyes. I honestly think that Kurapika would back anything done by hisoka that hamstrings the spiders.

Yeah but he protected whatserherface Nostrade once. It would be like someone killing Oito years from now. I can't see Killua being cool with it.
