You stood in the halls of a tremendous house.

"You useless child, ungrateful brat!"

"I gave birth to such a waste!"

'Why, what did I do mommy, please I'm sorry!' You grabbed for her.

"Let go of me you are no child of mine!"

She pushed you away.

The scene shifted.

'A jail cell, ' you looked down at your tiny hands.

'No no no not again, ' needles implanted themselves into your skin, a burning hot liquid pushed its way into your blood.

'Why'

'Why'

'Why me'

'You're broken and no one wants a broken child.'

'I'm not broken I'm not!'

'I'll be useful I promise, just don't leave me!'

'Useful? Your nothing, how can nothing be useful?'

'Hey Y/n?'

A young, fragile girl shuffled towards you placing her hands in yours. You struggled to speak, you wanted to warn her, to tell her to run, but your voice just wouldn't work.

'You said we would always be together you said not to be scared you said friends look out for each other, right?' She stared at you with bright yellow eyes, ' but you lied, the doctors said that liers get killed, so do me one last favor, and Die.'

She grabbed your neck and squeezed, blocking off your air. She was so small and weak this should have been impossible, but you were definitely losing consciousness. Clawing at her hand you strived to free yourself, but the liquid that pumped into your body took away all your strength.

'I'm so sorry, ' you crooked.

'I know you are, ' tears ran down her face, ' we all know you are.'

"No!" You sat up in a large bed covered in sweat, " what the hell, where am I?"

"Oh, you're up."

"Aaahh! What the fuck!" You slipped from the bed landing with a hard thud." Ow, that hurt."

Looking up at the man who sat there chuckling at you, millions of questions ran through your head.

"For a world-class assassin who is feared by many, " he turned back to his book, " you're not so frightening."

You went to stand, but your body still hasn't recovered so the floor is where you stayed. Chrollo studied you as you struggled.

"How did you end up this way?"

"I'm not answering any of your questions, " you sighed in frustration, " until you answer mine."

Chrollo completely unbothered by your anger towards the situation nodded, agreeing to your terms.

"How did you know where I was?"

"Your aura spike would be hard to miss."

"Okay, but why were you at Heavens Arena?"

"Heavens Arena?" He gave you a puzzled look.

"That's where I was."

"I found you far away from Heavens Arena, " you began to talk but he cut you off, " my turn, what happened to you?"

"I was poisoned."

He again studied your face, " you're telling the truth?"

"Yes, there is no point in lying, " you motioned towards your legs, " I'm in no position to fight or run."

He hummed, turning back to his book, " so how did it happen?"

"I tried to help some woman, she apparently knew who I was, " you glanced down at your hand, " it scared the shit out of me so I ended up cutting myself on the stuff she dropped." You started to get embarrassed not wanting to admit that all of that started because of an out of nowhere need for friends.

Chrollo began to chuckle, " I take it back your not frightening in the slightest."

You turned away not only was his laugh incredibly cute but he was also right what kind of assassin lets their guard down around complete strangers. Quite honestly you felt humiliated to have to need help in that situation but grateful nonetheless.

"Whatever I need to get home, " you mumbled, " I need to stack up on jobs since the arena was a bust." Chrollo's attention was back on his book but you were sure he heard you.

'This is such bullshit but hopefully, they didn't hear anything about this.'

"By the way, I called your brother."

The life drained from your face, " tell me you're lying."

"I'm not, I was already on a call with him for a job."

"I'm never going to hear the end of this, " you whined, not looking forward to the scolding you might receive.

"Well, my job here is done, " Chrollo stood up and made his way to the door.

"Wait one more question, " he paused but didn't turn around, " why were you so interested in me."

"I just found you unique, that's all."

He left out the door and didn't look back. Ten minutes later Illumi walked through the door with an emotionless face. He didn't speak to you, he just put you on his back and the both of you disappeared into the night.

"Illumi-."

"We're going home."

You sighed and stayed quiet. You couldn't read your brother like you normally could and that alone was scary. Sure you're strong but you couldn't beat him on your best day least of all in the condition you're in now. Not that you would fight each other anyway but today has put you on edge.

"Who did this to you, " Illumi's voice snapped you out of your thoughts.

"I don't know really know, " you yawned, " some woman she knew my birth parents."

After that, he stayed quiet. Illumi might be a heartless assassin but you were the person he endured ruthless training with. The person that made him run around the estate looking for you for some silly game. The person he had grown to care for as family, you were his sister. So he wanted to kill the people how caused you to scream and cry in your sleep.

You both took a flight back home, your body was able to move more at this point but Illumi wouldn't let you walk anywhere on your own. While sitting in your seat your phone buzzed.
