A/N: The picture above isn't colored in, but it is sketched out. I hope you can see him well enough. XD

After discharged from the hospital and meeting with the Zoldycks, Illumi had offered to rent out a home for the twins; which just so happened to be an apartment and their floor being really high up. It had a balcony with floral decorations that consisted of red roses, white roses, purple-blueish flowers, pink lilies, yellow lilies, and dragon tongue flowers; in the middle of the balcony held a transparent glass table with four seats around it. A vase with lavenders in the middle gave off a wonderful scent that wafted through the air.

The interior held a large living room with a kitchen not too far off on the side, it was close to the entryway of the room. A flat-screen T.V was up on a wall with two couches facing it and a coffee table in between the T.V and Couches. Soft carpeting masked the living room's space whilst beautiful hardwood flooring coated the space of the kitchen. Lavenders were the main decor of the interior, giving it a comfortable feel throughout the dwelling.

Yesterday was unexpected...to be honest. Rui finally got someone who actually accepts her for who she is and here I am, watching over Rui like a... Dare I say it... Hawk... she mentally mumbled to herself with a sweatdrop falling down her head and folded her arms. I don't care too much about relationships though, then again... Hisoka... Maybe... Ruby's voice echoed through her mind as she went into their bedroom and laid on the bed with her eyes closed.

The next day, out of the blue, the cordless phone in her dwelling rang on the wall nearby waking Ruby and her twin up. Her twin was on a separate bed not too far from her, with amazing speed, Rui flashed right over to the ringing nuisance and picked up the call.

"Mushy-mushy?~ I-I mean, Hello?" she asked playfully, murmurs were heard over the phone in response to Rui. "Okay! I'll let her know, Hisoka!" Rui replied eagerly then hung up. She turned to see Ruby, who had a quirked brow as if saying, the hell?

"Hisoka want's to go on a date with you, nee-chan!~" Rui happily jumped up and down, rapidly clapping her hands in excitement. The hawk twin sweatdropped, narrowed eyes then flopped back under her blankets, with a noticeable flush on cheeks.

"Iiee-!" Ruby replied in Romaji Japanese with an irritated voice, still hiding under the blanket.

"Oh, c'mon sis! Why won't you give him another chance?!" As soon as she ended her sentence, it wasn't a second later for Ruby to snap.

"I SAID NO RUI! He pained me... Even though he said he'd never hurt me, I still-" Ruby was cut off by Rui's arms being wrapped around her on the bed. Rui laid beside her, curled up against her back into her feathers, and began to sob silently. "Rui..." Ruby muttered to herself then closed her eyes.

"Please... Do it for me... You're not the only one that's trying to protect here... I don't like seeing you lonely... I want to see you truly happy..." Ruby turned to face her on the bed, saw her twin look up at her with a wet face, and it made her heart clench.

"Rui... I am happy... Cause I have you...my sister," Ruby whispered before curling her feathered wings around both of them.
