The True Successor

Needle

'If Killu were to be gone, I would take his place to be the greatest assassin in the family'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Illumi reached out his hand to his brother's neck.
Killua gaved him a confused look.

"Illu-nii?" Killua finally said. Illumi came back to his senses when Killua finally talked.

"Killu, do you love me?" Illumi said giving Killua a smile.
Killua paused for a moment and broke in to a big smile.

"Yeah! I love you a lot big bro!"
Killua said truthfully.
Illumi smiled back at him.

"I love you too, Killu."
*~~~~~~~~*
'I do love Killu. Even if he took my place, I won't let envy take over me. These emotions will just hold me back. And I'll be weak.'

'I wanted to test Killu. I wanted to know if he is strong enough to handle these emotions when he kill. I placed a needle in his head. A needle that will make you sad when you kill.'

'If he can resist those emotions, he will prove to me that he is a better assassin then me.'
*~~~~~~~~*
Killua came back home from work and then finding his elder brother waiting for him.

"What's with those tears, Killu? Did something happened at work?" Illumi asked Killua innocently.

"..." Killua didn't respond.

"Are you sad?" Illumi said.

"Yeah..." Killua finally said.

Illumi pulled out a needle from his pocket.
"Killu, stay still."

Within a moment, the needle was I'm Killua's head.
Killua's eyes changed.
There was no more shine in to those beautiful sapphire eyes.
His eyes was like a dead person's.

No. An assassins.

'I can't let Killu have these emotions....
They just only get in the way.'

'It's more better this way.'

'Because he is a passionless puppet of darkness'
*****
Killua extended his hand to Illumi. Caressing his face.
****
'But yet....'
******
"Illu-nii?" Killua said, as those soulless eyes stare at his elder brother.

Illumi eyes were filling up with tears when Killua countiued caressing his face.

Illumi then reached out his arms to Killua and hugged him tightly, as tears fell through his eyes.

'He is so precious'
