Chapter 1
Shiro's POV
I stood at a corner with my back leaning against the wall in the creepy and dirty tunnel. So here I and. Here to accompany my fiancé Illumi Zoldyck on his so called personal mission to bring back his younger brother Killua to his family.
*Flashback*
"Illumi, I want you to take Shiro with you to bring Killua back. I believe that she will be able to gain Killua's trust since he has yet to meet her. And besides, both of you are engaged, it would be advisable to have her join you." I stood beside Illumi as my "future" father-in-law gave his eldest son instructions on his so called "rescue mission". "I will not fail you father." Illumi answered as usual, with a monotonous voice. And with that, we left the dark infamous mansion.
*End of flashback*
And so now I leaned against the dirty walls of a tunnel which was supposed to be the destination for phase 1. Beside me sat Yuki, my adorable 8 year old gigantic puppy about the size of two elephants. Its massive size alone could send several chills down anyone's spine. Nevertheless I doted on her and probably my constant spoilage for her caused her to grow to her gigantic size today. But hey, it wasn't my fault… Yuki is just way too adorable… oh well…
Oh and one more thing, I ended up being Illumi's so called fiancée because I was practically donated to the Zoldycks by my very own parents...
I scanned the room for Illumi, he had told me to go on before him as he had to do something. I caught sight of a weird guitarist looking at me. I stared at him intently. He smiled at me and then I knew he was Illumi… So that was the "something" he needed to do… I stared at my number tag. It had been given to me when I was about to enter the elevator. I had been the earliest and well that was partly because of Illumi. If he had told me that he would change his appearance, I would done the same… it annoys me to have so many candidates staring at me. It's… Unsettling… I continued monitoring the arriving candidates. I immediately spot Killua, well, he looks the same as the photo that Illumi gave me. At least our target is here. I looked at the remaining candidates, the candidate who claims to be Tonpa tried to strike up a conversation with me. I politely rejected his drink knowing that his kind gestures were a sign that he probably has motives.
Just then, my eyes lay on a certain candidate. Candidate 44. He seems so terrifyingly familiar. Hisoka… My eyes widened in shock. It's been so long since I last saw him! He looks well, different. So different. What made me recognize him was probably his aura, it seems that his aura has gone more ominous. I desperately place my hood over my head. Things can go pretty ugly if he recognizes me. Too late. He sees me. That's it… He smirks at me and slowly approaches me. I remained in the same position, there's nothing I can do except to except my fate. Illumi sees him approaching me and frowns. "Shiro… It's been so long! What a pleasant surprise!" Hisoka smirks at me.
I walked away. I shall not speak to him. I am no longer related to him. He is but a fragment of my long forgotten past. However nothing could stop me from remembering his smile.
*Flashback*
"So here you are my lamb… I was wondering where you have been to. Why so do you excuse yourself? Is it because of your intolerant sister? Or is it because you cannot tolerate me?" The young man stood behind me questioned me intently. "It's none of your business Mr Hisoka. What does it matter anyway? You will soon be engaged to my sister anyway. She is the true bloodline carrying the future of the Tachibana Company after all. It doesn't matter whether or not I tolerated neither her nor you. " I answered. "Oh? But you seem more intriguing than your sister Ms Tachibana. You my dear shall be my decided bride. I do not care less whether or not you are the true bloodline. I am not planning after all to take the business between our families. I shall search for true freedom and you my dear will be an ideal person."
My eyes widened in surprise. He is the only son that his parents bear. He has no other choice but to take over his family's company. However, his words truly flattered me. I smiled. This was the first time someone recognizes me as who I am and doesn't judge whether or not I was a true Tachibana.
And so for the first few months, Hisoka and I started becoming closer and closer to one another. He had been engaged to my sister so that there will not be complications. We planned to escape on their wedding day. Little did I know, on my sister's wedding night, Hisoka and I were spotted together in the groom's dressing room. We were getting ready to escape." We were immediately caught red-handed by his father. Hisoka, desperate to escape his fate whispered into my ear "Remember, you shall be mine and mine alone." With that, he disappeared into the darkness. My parents were deeply angered with my actions. My sister was so shocked she developed depression in less than a week. One night, she committed suicide in front of my parents' face. In grieve they decided to sell their company. But before that, they gave me away, deliberately, to the Zoldycks. It was then that I was engaged to Illumi.
