Stick to the Shadows (HxH)

1: Rilluma's Mission

Rilluma's P.O.V

The ways of an assassin is simple. You kill to keep yourself going. It's just the way that people live in this world. If you are too weak to kill, you hire people to do it for you. That is what I am. A Zoldyck who kills for the money to live, but also one that kills for the pure fun of it. Killing is what I do best after all.

Of course, we Zoldycks are not perfect. No matter what world you live in, you will never meet a human who is perfect at everything. Every single one of us has our own faults that makes us who we are. My parents do not see this as a truth. They think I am the best assassin to ever come into the Zoldyck family. 

Illumi, the oldest of us kids, is a very good assassin. Yet, he is cold and unable to understand how normal minds work. Next in line is Milluki. Even if he is very smart, he does not have the needs of an assassin in the field. He wouldn't survive against the big targets. Killua is my favorite. His problem in life is simple, but can be life or death to an assassin. He wants to make friends. Kalluto is younger than me, but I don't know much about her. She's good at following orders, but her social skills need serious work. 

Then, where do I sit. Where does the Miss Rilluma Zoldyck sit in the family of notorious assassins. From age, I am right in the middle of Killua and Kalluto. Being at the age of ten has it perks, but it brings me down in the field. People don't take me seriously just because of my loos. I am cursed with big adorable black eyes and long flowing silver hair that reached my middle back. Usually I choose to wear my back with occasional braids and ponytails. 

As an assassin, I must never wear a long flowy pretty dress. Assassins wear what is easily breathable and movable for the sake of the mission. Despite this, I usually wear the same attire on missions, and then I change when I get home. That way I don't have blood stains of every outfit I own.

When on missions, I will wear black skinny jeans with a black tank top. Of course I am still a lady, so I will spice it up a little with a black jo jo bow on the right side of my head. When around the mansion, I will wear an array of things. Sometimes I will wear athletic shorts with a t-shirt, and sometimes I'll wear a dress. 

Right now, I was heading on a mission wearing my all black outfit. Illumi was testing both Killua and I on our next mission. We traveled through the woods at high speeds. Killua was at my side saying silent and I was happily jumping from branch to branch like they were trampolines. Illumi stayed in front leading us to our next destination.

"Who's the target?" Killua asked Illumi. 

"Who cares, as long as we get to spill some blood then I'm all good." I said back to him.

"Rilluma, calm yourself. Your bloodlust is raising in excitement." Illumi warned. "The target is a man by the name of Hiro Kazekiskae. He's a high level black market dealer who sells women as slaves around the whole world. His henchman is high in numbers, but low in power."

"That sucks." I butted in. "But who all gets to die." 

"Everyone but the women. Leave all of them alive." Illumi replied.

"Ugh. Fine. No huge massacre." I whinned. Finally we got to the site. It was a large, abandoned workshed. I could smell all of the blood and fear coming from the building. This is definitely the right place. My teeth shaped into fangs as I got closer to the metallic smell of the crimson substance. I licked my lips and waited for the command to attack.

"Off you go." he finally said and I jumped out of the trees into the ceiling of the shed. With a superhero landing, I found my way into large open place. Everywhere in there was the rattle of chains and the cries of women. Finally, I got to kill. 

I jumped off my feet of two and landed on fours. In the blink of an eye, my form changed. Now I took the form of a white sabertooth tiger. I was smaller than the usual, but that is just because of my age. Right now, I was probably up to Killua's hip if you go by my shoulder. My dark shadowy eyes stared around the room looking at everyone that I could kill.

Men from the shed surrounded me. They all had guns, whips, tasers, knives, bows, you name it. They had a lot of different weapons. A whip came slicing down towards me. Killua landed in front of me and grabbed the whip in one hand before it hit me. I turned my back to Killua and chuffed a little at the rest of the men. Killua ripped the whip out of the guy's hand and dropped into to the floor. An arrow shot straight to Killua and I grabbed it, immediately snapping it in my teeth. 

More men charged all at once. Killua jumped tearing the head off one man and then impaling another. I tackled someone biting them in the neck before ripping others apart. The tearing of skin rung in my ears as blood filled my nose. My coat stained red with the brilliant color of blood. After my daze was over, bodies surrounded us both. Women stood all around the room until I spotted something. A crying baby boy being held in the arms of a woman. 

All must die except the women. All of the boys are dead except for this one child. I took steps closer to them growling. The screming of the child rang in my ears making me even more agitated than what I was before. I growled baring my blood soaked teeth. The woman held her baby closer squeezing her eyes shut.

"Rilluma stop." Killua ordered stepping in front of me.

----------------------

Let me clear a few things up for my fellow Zoldyck lovers. For starters, I am aware that names change slightly between the Manga and the Anime. For this story, I am going to use the name version from the anime simply because I watched the anime before I read the manga. For more on the anime, there are some major storyline differences in the 1999 version of the anime and the 2007 version. (I think that is the right years). I get confused often between the two stories so I am going to jump around from story version to story version.
