"Kiri!" You called, as you walked through the door of the abandoned apartment complex. "I've got some good food today! Fruits and cookies! Your favorite!"

"(Y/N)!" A little girl came running out of one of the rooms, her brown unbrushed hair flowing messily around her face.

You chuckled at her appearance and crouched down in front of her when she reached you. "We're going to have to do something about this hair, little one," you said, grabbing a lock of her hair and tucking it behind the girl's ear.

Kiri pouted, "but I like it like this," you smiled, "trust me, I can make it look and feel much nicer, come on, let's get you a bath before we eat." You took the girl's hand and led her to the makeshift tub you had set up for her.

Slowly, you helped Kiri get clean and scrubbed her head with soap while thinking about what got them there.

A few months before, you had been on a mission to kill a crime boss of the underworld, you had succeeded of course but had discovered Kiri, hiding in one of the many closets of the man's mansion. You suspected that the man bought Kiri as a slave or maybe took her from her parents, planning to use her for some truly evil purposes.

But finding Kiri on the floor of the closet that day, looking up at you with a look of both fear and hope, you couldn't bring yourself to leave her, let alone kill. So you had been taking care of her for months in an abandoned apartment building, somewhere no one would ever find her.

After you finished helping Kiri bathe, you got her dressed and brushed through her hair, cutting a little off the ends as evenly as you could.

"So this is where you go every day." A voice interrupted your thoughts and your head snapped up to meet dark black eyes.

Illumi's eyes.

He started to pace back and forth, "and to think that the whole family suspected you of working all day every day, further proving how much better you are than the rest of us."

You quickly stepped in front of Kiri, forming a protective stance in front of her, "Illumi, I-"

"We take you in..." he cuts you off "...from birth, mom and dad raise you like one of their own..." He trails off before starting again, "you become the most talented Zoldyck without even being one of us, everyone's favorite daughter, grandchild, sibling." He gave you a small smile, his eyes showing a range of emotions, joy, jealousy, sadness, you couldn't tell which one reigned supreme.

"What would they all do if they found out that you were too weak to kill a child." His eyes trailed down to Kiri behind your back, her eyes wide with fear.

Your eyes lit up in defiance, "don't you dare touch her," you said in a low voice.

Illumi's eyes met yours again before looking down at his feet, "I never wanted to hurt you (Y/N)," he looked back up, "I had such big plans for us," you could almost hear a hint of sadness in his voice, "I'm sorry that it has to be this way."

It dawned on you what he was about to do, "NO!" You screamed, but it was too late, before you could react, one of Illumi's needles had curved around you and through the head of Kiri.

Your eyes widened as her body dropped to the floor with a thud, and instead of rage flowing through you as you expected, all you could feel was emptiness.

You collapsed to the floor, turning and bending over Kiri's body, holding her close. "No," you whispered into her still damp hair, "how could you, HOW COULD YOU." You stood up and screamed at Illumi. But the anger faded almost as quickly as it had come, Illumi's face was stoic as he stared at you.

"I'm sorry (Y/N)," he said as he turned away, "I hope you can forgive me one day."

And with that, he was gone.

----- Back to Reality -----

You snapped back out of your memories after what felt like hours and settled your eyes on Hisoka. "I didn't mean to hurt them, the Zoldycks were like a family to me, but I failed."

Your hands began to shake as your gaze unfocused and you stared into nothing, "I couldn't protect her," you whispered, "and I can't bear to have anyone else die because of me."

Hisoka looked at you even more curiously, "So get stronger, isn't that the obvious answer? I think you're perfectly capable (Y/N), I can feel your aura, it's so arousing, strength comes off of you in waves.~" He walked towards you, closer and closer until your chests were almost touching.

You tried to jump back, apprehensive of his advancements, but he grabbed your arms, holding you in place.

He leaned his face towards yours, brushing your cheek slightly with his lips before whispering into your ear "I can help you grow (Y/N), won't you be my newest toy~"

Hisoka's words sent shivers down your spine and you couldn't help but let out a slight moan at his closeness, your whole face erupted in heat and you tried to shove him away, but Hisoka's iron grip held you close, one hand now on your waist, the other in your hair.

He smiled against your ear at your reaction, "mmm, I'll take that as a yes~" Hisoka pulled away and retrieved the man he had placed on the ground, throwing him over his shoulder. "Well, we best be on our way.~" He walked away, leaving you standing frozen in place.

Hisoka smirked at his actions, as he left, thinking about one of the earlier talks he had had with Illumi about you...

----- Flashback -----

"I killed the girl in order to gain favor from my parents over (Y/N), she doesn't have the right to have authority over me in the family, she is nothing but an outsider," Illumi said matter of factly.

"So you never saw her as a sister?~" Hisoka replied.

"Of course not, I had plans to marry her one day, with (Y/N)'s natural talents combined with mine, we could birth the most powerful assassins that anyone has ever seen."

"But now she wants nothing to do with you, should I applaud?~" Hisoka said, clearly amused.

At Illumi's silence, curiosity got the better of Hisoka, "did you love her?~"

Illumi stared at him and tilted his head slightly as if confused, "love?" he inquired, "that emotion is for the weak, my only intentions with (Y/N) were to gain her affections and have her be the mother of my children, nothing more."

Illumi then looked past Hisoka as if deep in thought, "you watch," he said, a sinister smile coming over his face, "she'll come around, she always comes crawling back."

----- Back to present -----

Hisoka chuckled at Illumi's foolish prediction.

You've had your way with her, now it's my turn.~

(A/N)- Woo this was a fun chapter to write.

Regarding the song I put at the beginning of this chapter: I've compiled seven songs that I think really fit this story and (Y/N)'s character, so I'm placing them at the beginning of chapters where I think a song has the most meaning. 

Because, in order, the songs kind of show her progression if that makes sense. I kind of think of it where the message in the song applies until I put up the next one, but if you interpret it differently then go ahead.

And if you don't like the songs then that's fine, ignore them, I just like music that goes with a story because it gets me more in the mood ya know.
