Luna POV
I woke up in a big soft bed. I sunk into the soft feeling. It's been so long since I slept in a bed like this. It was amazing, but I soon got up and headed to the attached bathroom. I figured I was probably in the Zoldyck house and that they probably wouldn't mind me taking a quick shower.
After my shower I changed into some clothes I found in the room I was in and brushed out my hair.
Not long after a butler walked in and introduced himself as Gotoh. He took me down to a dining room where I sat next to some woman and a little boy maybe my age dressed in a Kimono.
"Illumi has discussed with us the deal you two made and we will honor his deal so long as you do." A large man spoke. He had white hair and cat-like eyes. Probably Illumi and Killua's father.
"Uhm yeah of course. Where is Illumi by the way?" I was a bit intimidated by the family.
"He had some work to handle and he'll be back soon."
"What about killua?"
There was a long silence that seemed to stretch out longer than comfortable before finally the woman with the eye visor spoke up.
"Killua felt terrible for the things he did before running away from home and has put himself in isolation. Who knows how long he'll stay there." she said
"Oh ok thank you." I said as I started to eat. "I'm Luna"
"Kiyoko"
"Silva"
"Zeno"
"Kalluto"
We finished the meal and they excused me, but when I got up I fell. I tried to get up but my legs felt so weak. Poison. The family watched me closely as I took out my knife and started making small cuts all over my body.
"What are you doing" Kiyoko shrieked
"I'm getting the poison out of my blood stream before I die" I said glaring at the women.
"We put the poison in your food it's not in your bloodstream" Silva said
"I checked the food for poison before I ate it. So you must have poisoned me while I was sleeping and since it took so long to kick in it had to have been administered through the bloodstream." I said it very matter of factly.
"Impressive," Zeno said before picking me up and carrying me back to the room from before. He placed me in the bathtub full of warm water and left. I sat there and let the blood leak out of my body slowly clearing my body of the poison. I was gonna have to be extra careful around here. After a few hours my body began to tingle and I knew I was losing too much blood so I got out of the bath and patched myself up with supplies Zeno left for me before changing and heading for bed.
How was I gonna protect myself while sleeping. I didn't really have any way to protect myself from elite assassins anyway so I locked the door, opened the window and decided to sleep in the bathroom. Hopefully if they busted into the room they would think I ran away, so they wouldn't even check the room for me.Zeno POV
A very smart girl indeed. I expected her to die quickly when I saw that Illumi brought home an 8 year old with no training, but perhaps she was more skilled than she seemed.
"So what happened?" Illumi asked over the phone.
"We poisoned her as soon as you left. A slow moving poison and then we had her at dinner with us, so that she wouldn't feel the effects until after she ate. We hoped she would think the food was poisoned and try to throw it up or drain it out, so eventually she would die. But she knew immediately that it wasn't the food that was poisoned and she saved herself by cutting her body to let herself bleed out." I explained to Illumi
"Try to keep her alive through the training" he insisted
"Hmmm why is that? Do you care for her?" I am amused that Illumi's first time showing emotion towards anyone outside of the family was for some little girl.
"Just don't forget the deal I made with her."
"Yes yes of course we train her for the next couple years and she helps us keep an eye on Killua when he inevitably runs off again." I sighed "I just had to make sure she was worth your silly deal in the first place"
