KALLUTO POV

I was now heading back to Kukuroo mountain.

I have to report to Silva that I have passed the final selection, though.....I'm sure he already knows.

Sigh...why do I even have to be physically present? I could have just sent a letter or a mail to Milluki or something.

Well the only bright side is that I get to talk to Alluka-chan, I couldn't talk to her the last time because she was sleeping.

And the fact that I would be able to confirm the timeline in which hunterxhunter is running.

I boarded the train to the Republic of Padokea.

Then I had to walk for a while.

Lily was a little girl- I started singing in my mind to pass the time. You know the usual...

On my way, I crossed a shop which had various jewellery on display.

Something caught my eye...

No, it weren't the shiny pink stones that caught my eye, although they were tempted to do so.

I activated gyo to confirm my suspicions.

Of all the advanced techniques I decided to practice gyo first since it would help me see the things normal people can't.

Bingo. I thought as I confirmed my suspicions.

I entered the shop and pointed at the matching sets of Yin and Yang bracelets.

How much do they cost? I asked the shopkeeper.

......

I could see the massive gates in front of me.

Ah! Kalluto-sama welcome back. I heard somebody say.

Hello Zebro-san, I said as I was about to open the gates I heard some distinct noises.

Hmm, Is somebody here? I paused and asked Zebro.

Uhmm....well some people claiming to be Killua-sama's friends are here, they are currently training for....he said.

I see. I interrupted his explanation, I only needed to hear the first part.

In that case I'll enter from the smaller door, I said and Zebro nodded.

I entered from the smaller door and walked towards Mike to pet him.

He wagged his tails a little, he's so cute.

I activated Zetsu and then headed towards the house, carefully trying to avoid Gon, Kurapika and Leorio.

I walked into the mansion being greeted by a few Butler's on the way.

Little-sis! I heard a voice.

Damn, I'm never getting used to that.

Hello Big-sister how are you doing? I asked telepathically.

It's kind of boring in here, only Nanika's with me. She said.

I close my eyes in a frustrated and helpless pinch. I want to get her out of this forsaken place....but I'm not nearly as strong or influential to do that.

The only comfort I have is that Killua will eventually save her from this hellish lifestyle.

Ne- Big-sis I brought you a gift. I said.

I heard a squeal In my mind.

Really!? She said.

What is it I wanna know?! Said Alluka.

I grinned internally and in a mischievous voice said, that's a surprise.

You've got to wait a bit, I'll try to get them to let me visit you. I said.

So I have to wait? I heard her say, is she pouting?

I simply grinned a little and walked further into the mansion.

I came to a half around the corner when I felt a presence.

Who could that be?

I prepared myself and took a peek.

Kikyo? I thought as I turned to greet her.

Man what a pain..

Mother. I said as I deliberately kept an emotionless face.

Ah! If it isn't my little black cat! She said squealing and hugging me.

Your father told me you had been recieving some special training and missions, and what's with this hideous thing you're wearing? It's unsightly to look at. She began ranting but stopped when Milluki came to get her.

Mother, Killua still won't give in that brat is too out of control I swear! He said in a screech voice.

Looking at him I could only imagine him snorting like a pig while saying this.

Milluki..! don't you dare talk about your brother like that, she said as she and piggy went towards what I assume would be the torture chamber completely ignoring my existence.

Well those screeching pigs are now for you to handle, sorry Killua I shrugged as I went towards Silva's chambers.

I found Tsubone along the way and she bowed and said that she had alerted her father about my arrival and that he is expecting me.

I knocked thrice in my signature tune and entered the chambers.

Silva was sitting on his....*cough* throne.

Damn dude, ever heard of a hairbrush, I thought never getting used to his wild hair.

Kalluto, I see you have passed the final selection. He said in his same indifferent voice.

I didn't say anything, and just lifted my head to look at him.

Well, that's to be expected of a Zoldyck. He continued.

Bitch again with that Zoldyck shit, wanna fight.

Please don't cause I'll die then.

Wait....has this happened before?

Of course all this is going on in my head.

In your last letter you mentioned that you'd have to cease your timed visits. He said.

Now that caught my attention.

Yes father, when I start working as an official demon slayer that would be nearly impossible to do. I said.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

He looked at me for about a minute and then finally said.

Very well, but you shall continue sending letters. He said, no more like commanded.

Well that I can work with. I thought.

Yes, I understand. I said.

Dismissed. He said.

....

Dismissed my ass, what are you a military general?

As soon as I was out of that room I pumped my fist up without realising.

That went better than expected. I thought.

I stood in that position, with my eyes closed until I felt a gaze on me.

I carefully brought my fist down and opened my eyes.

.

.

.

An darn it....

Grandfather...I greeted.

Kalluto. He just said, amusement written in his eyes.

We just stood there and looked at each other.

Seriously what's with the Zoldyck's staring at other people's soul, just get to the damn point.

Also, I swear this oldy is making fun of me.

Good job on passing the final selection. He said.

My eyes widened a bit, did he actually complement me?

Of course, father said that it's only natural as it is befitting of a Zoldyck. I said, trying to remain neutral.

The old man huffed and looked at me. Perhaps it was the way his eyes looked.

I started speaking without thinking.

.
.
.

A demon slayer, can I actually be one? I blurted out without realising.

He just looked at me with a calculative gaze.

Aren't you already one? He said, it was more of a statement than a question.

That's not... nevermind. I said not wanting to say anything further.

Before I could even react the old sword I was carrying was out of its shell, Zeno was holding it and inspecting it.

Ah. I involuntary let out.

It's been used well. He muttered.

He then handed it back to me and said.

If you're thinking that an assassin who's taken lives won't be able to save people, then you're wrong. He started saying.

You think I didn't notice your hesitation in killing even the most vile of scums?

I flinched at that. I thought I covered it well.

Despite your above average skills I noticed those shaking hands..

You're not meant to be an Assassin.

While he said all that I was just looking at him with wide eyes.

Maybe you were always meant to be a demon slayer, to use your strength to save rather than to kill.

You are no longer an assassin you're a Demon slayer. He said in the same harsh tone.

But you'll always be a Zoldyck. He concluded.

My eyes trembled, I couldn't help it.

I just dipped my head and muttered.

Thank you Grandpa. This was said in a genuine voice of an actual child.

It was the voice of a broken child who had been betrayed by adults in both her lives.

Maybe this oldy isn't so bad after all.

I felt a slight touch to my head and the last thing I heard before Zeno walked away was.

Time is precious, don't waste it. He said and began to leave.

Right, I have to get my sword and save people.

Grandfather can I visit Alluka-chan? I asked.

Do what you want. Came the gruff reply.

......

Zeno peeked around to look at the youngest who was walking away.

Kalluto Zoldyck wasn't meant to be an Assassin after all...maybe he was meant for something much greater.

He huffed and let out an amused chuckle.

Little brat went on ahead and learnt nen too.

Silva would have definitely noticed.

I wonder what Kalluto's nen type is.....his youngest Alluka-chan grandchild's nen type should ideally be Manipulation.

Well, he'll get to know someday.

And Kalluto called their second youngest Alluka-chan.

Now he has to go see the third youngest.

He had a feeling that someday these three would do something amusing.

Well, he'd like to witness it, that's for sure.

.......

Kalluto walked towards Alluka's room which was underground and with high security.

It wasn't that hard to visit her, she just needed permission.

Milluki does it all the time for his stupid wishes.

The doors opened automatically and Kalluto stepped inside.

Alluka immediately tackled her into a hug and Kalluto patted her head.

Long time no see big-sis I said.

Little sister, she sqealed.

We chatted and played for a while.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

A while later..

Okay big-sis I have to leave now. I said with a guilty look.

Alluka immediately started to sulk, before she could cry I brought her ear closer and whispered.

But I got you a gift. I said.

Slowly she stopped, sniffeled and just looked at me.

I took note of the cameras and handed her one of the bracelets outside of the cameras line of view.

Keep this, with you always. If you're in danger I'll know. I said and smiled at her.

Making sure my face was away from the camera.

She looked confused for a second but then smiled gleefully.

I really like it, little sis is the only one who brings me gifts. She said.

Don't be sad- I started.

I'm not sad....I'm really happy! She said and hugged me, I swear my heart melted.

Remember this Alluka-chan, I stroked her hair started said. She looked at me curiously at the use of her name.

No-matter what anyone says, I'll always be one of the people who love you the most.

And then I pulled her cheeks, cause why not.

......

After using gyo, I found out that the bracelets were special and had a faint aura around them.......aura that strangely reminded me of wisteria.

So I decided to trap some of my nen after mixing some wisteria.

The wisteria in the bracelet will protect the one wearing it from demons. (Atleast the low level ones) And if the bracelet ever cracks or snaps due to a demonic disturbance then I would know.

I gave the black bracelet to Alluka-chan.

I started at the white bracelet in the palm of my hand.

Now for this one.....

........

* Small time skip *

KILLUA POV

I hurried towards my room after talking with dad, can't believe he' just letting me go isn't it too easy....?

All those damn whips piggy gave me were kind of worth it.

I should pack and go and meet Gon!

Opening the door to his room I picked up his bag and started packing stuff he deemed important.

Important meaning his choco-robo.

I looked at my choco-robo stash.

.
.
.
.

This...can't be....

One of them is missing!!?

Did piggy steal it?!

No it'll be too much of a hastle for him to walk all the way to my room. He's lazier than a sloth.

I looked around furiously for any signs of disturbance.

Suddenly something on my bed caught my eye.

Why didn't I see that before?

....

Huh...?

There's something on the bed.

I walked towards it and inspected it.

There was a box full of pink, white and green fluffy looking things.

Marshmallows..? I thought.

Besides that he spotted a folded piece of paper and.....a white bracelet?

Is this a trap..?

He looked curiously and warily at the bracelet then opened the note.

I took one of your choco-robo's but you can have these mochi and the bracelet I got as a freebie instead.

And no they aren't poisoned.

~~Kalluto °⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠°⁠

.

.

.

.

Eh....?!!!!! Killua shouted.

.........

Meanwhile our protagonist was far away from Kukoroo.

I don't hate you Killua.... But I will not long for an actual sibling relationship, I want you to protect Alluka and stay safe.

You'd go on stupid crazy adventures and If you ever encounter a demon.

I'd like to protect you.

Because at the end of the day you're a good person.

Well ahm... atleast to some extent.

.
.

These choco-robos are not bad. I thought munching on one of them.

                           🍫......🍫.....🍫

Kalluto- Casually walking into Killua's room and stealing choco-robos.

Killua- confused ex-assassin noises.

Alluka- just being happy and admiring the bracelet in her wrist.

Zeno- proud grandpa, dosen't like to show it.

Gon, Leorio and Kurapika- didn't ever think that a coin could be this confusing.
