Silva and Zeno leave me with Milluki who greet me..in his own way.

        "Aren't you Illumi's girlfriend or something?" He groans and slouches. Why does everybody keep thinking that?

        So this is the second oldest son of the Zoldyck family, he must have something up his sleeve that is of use other than being angsty.

        "No..."

        "Oh, so mom was just making it up because Illumi's lonely."

        "Well if you put it bluntly, I guess you could say that."

        "Mama does over react a lot." He laughs.

        I laugh along.

        "Don't tell her I said that."

        "Wasn't planning on it."

        Milluki goes out of his room, which I see a quick glimpse of. It was messy, potato chip bags scattered across the floor and flooding out of the garbage bin.

        He had a life-sized figure of an anime girl next to his desk which was filled with computers and electronics.

        "So," I start," do you work with tech?"

        "Yeah, I'm working on a bomb that can be attached to a mosquito, but the mosquitos don't really know where to go."

        "Why don't you just make a robot mosquito?"

        "Never thought of it actually."

        He leads me to a laboratory looking room. There was a tank full of bugs the corner. I shivered, I was never really a fan of bugs.

        "Sooo, what are we going to be doing?"

        "I don't know, mama just said that Illumi's girlfriend was going to work with me."

        "Oh."

        "I do have a few things that I need to work on now, though."

        "Like what?"

        "Well, making mosquitos that won't raise alert if someone sees them, for one."

        Milluki lays out plans for his new robot and tells me the basic mechanics for the build.

        I help him by giving him the tools he needs. I can't really do anything other than that. I hardly know anything about technology like this.

        "Oh, yeah, papa left me a note to read once we met up."

         Milluki pulls out a note from him back pocket and unfolds it carefully.

        "What does it say?"

        "Once you meet with (Y/N), you will have to give her one of our communication devices, read the next part without (y/n) hearing it."

        "It must be family business, huh."

        "Yeah." He lies.

        Milluki looks inside a drawer that reads 'Keep out, Zoldyck family only(Unless given permission'.

        He pulls out a communication device, that looked like a walkie-talkie.

        "Here, this is what my father wanted me to give to you."

        He hands me the device and tells me how to use the device.

        "When you click the button on the side, it will allow you to talk, click the other button in the middle and you'll be able to call any of the members of the Zoldyck family. If you're busy you press the small red button under it to basically turn off notifications."

        "Ok."

       "Oh, if you get a call or if someones answering, the persons name will show up on the screen."

        The screen looked like a calculator. It wasn't too complicated. I was now connected to all the members of the Zoldyck family, well, except for one, the one member who never keeps his notifications on, Maha Zoldyck.

        "Let's leave the lab, it's getting boring in here."

        He spoke to me like I was a close friend, or maybe even family. He was warming up to me.

        "Do you want to go on a walk later?" I ask him.

        "No, I don't like going outside." He replies," You should go back to the butlers quarters to see if my family is there, most of us have taken a liking to you."

        "Oh, ok bye!"

        "Wait, actually, there's something I have to tell you."

        "Illumi's never brought anyone home before or even spoken about anyone outside of our estate, but all of a sudden, once he's gotten to know you, he's been talking more, I've even seen him smile, he never smiles, sometimes I wonder if he's a different person."

        "Maybe he just needed a friend."

        "You're different, he told me not to tell anyone, but he watched three romance anime overnight without sleep. Maid-sama, ToraDora, and Ouran Host club."

        "He's become obsessed (y/n), I think he's trying to figure out his own feelings about you."

         "Bye, (y/n), I'll see you when I do." He goes back into his room.

         He's just trying to figure out his feelings, maybe he's never had a friend that was a girl before and immediately matched it with love instead.

        I walk up to the door to leave the giant mansion.

        "Hello, there," Says an unfamiliar voice.

        "Hi," I turn around and bow to the person standing behind me.

        My eyes widen. It was Maha, Maha Zoldyck.

        "I've heard a lot about you."

        "You know Illumi is my great-great grandson and I care for him."

        "Of course, you live in a very close family."

        "Illumi talks about you a lot whenever someone is around."

        "He does?" This is what Milluki told me as well.

        "Yes, he's taken a liking to you, actually. I like to keep up with my family, so when I spoke with him, all he talked about was you and how you were confusing him."

        "Confusing him?"

        "Oh, child, he's in love with you, it could just be a phase, but, now, after meeting you, I hope it's not."

        "Don't tell him I said this, he doesn't understand his feelings yet. I've requested that your training be postponed for a while so you two can go ut on a mission together. At least that's what Illumi thinks, I'm really setting you two up on a date."

        "A-A date?" I blush, getting flustered.

        "Child! Don't tell me you don't have feelings for him?"

         "I don't know how I feel..."

        "Think about it, maybe you two will bond tomorrow."

         "Go, child, rest for now, if anyone tries to tell you to do anything, say that Maha told you to rest, except for Silva, he can be quite troublesome sometimes."

        I laugh.

        "Ok, I will!"

        I leave the mansion and head back on the path to the butlers quarters.

        "How should I feel?" I say out loud.

         "Feel about what?" A deep voice says. Silva.

        "Oh, it's nothing."

        "You can tell me anything, you know." He says reassuringly.

        "I don't know how I feel about Illumi. Don't get me wrong! I like him, but I don't know if I really 'like' him."

        "I thought you already loved him."

        "No, I would just get flustered is all, being falsely accused of being in a relationship. That was what it was."

        "My senses told me otherwise."

        "Why does your family..." I trail off.

        "What?"

        "Why do all the Zoldyck's want me to be with Illumi anyways, I mean, I'm weak and..." I trail off again, trying not to cry. I think about how weak I am, and how I'm not qualified to be even near this estate.

        "We like you, you're honest, we like that quality."

        "There are plenty of honest people in the world, there must be something else."

        "Sit down with me." He motions for me to sit with him on the grass. I sit.

        "I just feel, so useless."

        "You've awakened new powers! How can you be useless, when those powers are what can make someone seem intimidating and strong?"

        "I can't even control it," A tear streams down my face, causing more tears to fall from my face.

        "You have nothing to cry about, you are strong."

        "Maybe so, but you could just make me work for the Zoldyck's instead, not be with Illumi."

        "When you were talking before, you said that you were weak and something else, what was the other thing."

        I could tell he already knew what I was going to say, he wanted to prove a point, but what could he say?

        "I-I'm just.."

        "Say it."

        "Ugly!" I say out loud. I start bawling.

       "I've never been as good than my sister at anything, I have the worst hair ever, I can't keep my skin in control! I can't even control my stupid weight! I'm either fat or too skinny!" I rant.

        I feel his hand on my head.

        "You know, you're not any of those things."

        "How so?"

        He pats my head and gives me a handkerchief for my tears. I wipe my face and he takes the cloth back.

        "You should look in the mirror closely, see your beauty, you're prettier than most girls, yet you think so lowly of yourself because one person in the entire world meets your standards that you don't have."

        "(Y/N)?" I hear Illumi say.

        "Illumi.. I'm sorry, you shouldn't see me like this."

        I look at what Illumi holds in his hands.

       "(y/n)..." He walks towards me. Silva makes a swift escape and leaves us two alone.

        "How much of that did you hear?"

        "Enough to know how you feel about yourself."

        "So the whole thing?"

        "Basically."

        "Why would you think so lowly of yourself?" He slaps me across the face. I hadn't realized what he had done until I felt my cheek stinging and turning red.

        "Illumi?"

        "I'm sorry, I shouldn't've done that." He looks away from me.

         "(y/n), you're beautiful."

        The tears I wiped from my face come back again in a matter of seconds.

        But then, something unexpected happened, something I never thought could happen.

        Illumi wrapped his arms around my body and hugged me. He lay his head on mine and patted my back.

        I didn't have time to think, all I could comprehend was that I liked it. I wrap my arms around his body and squeeze him. I look up at him and see him smiling.

        "You're beautiful." He whispers.
