Aki looked at the ground and thought how he could be useful to Illumi
- I..Im..-
- You what?
Illumi said, still staring at the child coldly. He cant help, but be curious with what kind of reason, Aki will come up.
Aki got a little intimidated by Illumi's cold still stare. He says the first thing that comes across his mind
- Well..I..I'm c-cute...? And .. Obedient....
Aki stutters while saying it, hoping that it'll convince Illumi.
- cute and obedient? Ah well, you're not. At least not obedient.
Illumi said coldly, but Aki could hear hint of amusement in elders voice
Aki felt even more embrassed at Illumi's words, but also a bit of frustration
- w..what do you mean..? I am very obedient..!
he sounded so innocent, and helpless..
Illumi sighed softly
- If you had been obedient, you would have left me alone. You would have left me alone when I asked you to."
Aki froze for a second. Illumi was right. When Illumi said to leave him alone, on the contrary, he began to follow him. But still it didnt make any sense for Aki.
- .. W-well I had no choice..! I needed, and still need your help..!
But the answer was silence. Illumi didn't say anything, he just wanted to leave again.
Aki was disappointed. Illumi's silence breaks his little heart. The only person he saw in this wilderness, was Illumi. And even Illumi wasn't going to help him...
Tears began to form in Aki's eyes. He didn't understand why no one wanted to help him, maybe something was wrong with him? Even when he was in the orphanage, no one wanted to adopt him. But he was no different from other children. Even those looking after children in the orphanage showed the worst attitude towards him.
Aki was on verge of crying, he even fell on his knees, pleading Illumi, looking very pityful.
- .. Please..Please help me..! If you won't help me... Then I'll die here alone... I will do anything, yes, I can even kill anything and anyone, just help..!
Well, Illumi cant help but be slighly surprised by Aki's actions. But the only proposal that caught his attention is "I will do anything" and especially "I can even kill". Of course, This will attract the attention of an assassin..
- kill? Liar. You can't.
Aki looked at Illumi, a confident look in his teary eyes.. even if he was hesitating
- I..I will!
Illumi still didn't believe the boy, even though he had some kind of... plan.
- how old are you?
Aki was a bit caught off by sudden question, but quickly answered on it
- six.. what about..you..?
-...twenty four.
Boy gets on his feets, nodding slowly at Illumi's answer. He wanted to ask for help again, but he thought it would all be for nothing..
Illumi has an idea.. and maybe there are plans for this boy. He noticed something about him that he hadn't noticed ten minutes ago..
- Seems like you're going to be the youngest Zoldyck familly member...
Aki's eyes widens at Illumi's words. He looks up at him, a hopefull look pm his small pale face
- w..-what do you mean..?
Illumi looks back at the boy, his always expressionless pale face looking serious now
- you know what I mean. I'll help you. I'll take you with me., and you will become a new member of our family.
Aki gasped in shock and happiness. He couldn't belive his ears, he's going to have a family...
- Y-You'r .. Familly..?! I'm going to have.. a .. Familly....!!!
He had never been so happy before. He's going to have a family... He is no longer some kind of orphan, now he will become one of Zoldycks..
