UPDATE: Shortened Alex's Prologue, and Misaki and Kikyo knew each other since childhood, they didn't grow up together. Bye~ \(^-^)/

Alex's Prologue

Assassins.Strong, infamous, dangerous; and highly confident. It would take a few days to land a job, yet it would take a few minutes for the jobs to be completed. They would betray clients if they didn't abide by their rules, and yet would never betray their own. In nature, they were agile, strategic, and smart, well, most of them were. Folks would think this came naturally to them, but no; they had to train. They had to train hours, and hours each day; and be tortured if they ever did something wrong. How did I know this? Well, I am one, or at least I used to be. I, along with my 9 siblings were born into the Labrèche Family of Assassins.

We weren't raised as strict as the others, as we showed many emotions (except for Darian and Makoto), and actually had free time. My Mother, Misaki, is a bit of a soft person, but she knows when to stand her ground. My Father is the exact opposite, and yet he has let Mother raise us like this; her personality had really rubbed off on him. We all had a pretty normal childhood (minus the killing), we had friends (like Killua), celebrated holidays; and spent time together. We all loved, and took care of each other.

Yet, we were still trained, and "tortured" like all assassins. After we were born, we'd spend 4 years learning to speak, etc; and would sometimes go on missions with older siblings. The reason would be just to get a little experience before we take on missions by ourselves; however we wouldn't go on solo missions until we were about 10 years old; and up. After we turned 4, we would start electricity training (my least favorite), and would be trained to resist poisons at the same time. Then, we'd start to train to be faster in running, and in having faster reflexes. Finally, there would be hand-to-hand combat, which is where we'd go up against any of our siblings without weapons, and see how we'd manage.

Okay, I guess I haven't exactly told you my name yet, it's Alex; short for Alexandra. I had an older twin named Alli, which is short for Allison; she was basically my best friend. I was okay with being an assassin, because that was basically all I have ever known, and Allison was always with me. Yet, when Alli was killed by one of the people that we trusted the most, at 11 years old. At that point, I didn't know if I should be one. The profession that I was raised to be in ended up killing my best friend, my protector; my twin. I decided that no matter what, I would get revenge, and so I ran away. I heard about the Hunter Exam, and thought that it might help me with my goal, so I entered. Shortly after entering I had met Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio. They had made me feel at ease, I read their minds, and they didn't have a dangerous thought anywhere (well dangerous to me.) So, we traveled to the Exam together, and I had once again met Killua; Gon and he were the ones that honestly got me through the Exam. I'm happy that I ran away, and took the Exam; honestly if I didn't, I wouldn't have been able to meet any of them. They're special to me, and always will be.

Prologue:

Yorknew City is known for annually having various auctions from September 1st to the 10th. It's a city that's also known for having black market auctions of which sell many illegal items. However, another reason is that the family of the infamous Labrѐche assassins reside in its outskirts.

12 years ago

Screams and groans of frustration were flowing throughout the mansion at 11:30pm. A lady no more than 39 had been in labour for 3 hours now. Her husband was on standby in the armchair beside their bed; calmly staring at the scene.

The twins that the Mother-Misaki- was going to give birth to would be her 7th and 8th child. While being pregnant it denied Misaki to do the simplest of things; including going on missions to assassinate whoever it may be. She was the wife of the leader of the Labrѐche family of assassins. They were infamous world-wide for their ability to kill enemies quickly and cleanly, and by taking on other personas to disguise themselves. Each and every child in the family was trained as soon as they were born; and that would be including the newly arrived twins, Allison and Alexandra.

With one final push the other half of the pair of twins was born. The twins were cleaned up, and Misaki then held the eldest twin, Allison, on her left side; whereas she held the youngest, Alexandra, on her right. She gazed down lovingly at them, with a gentle smile gracing her lips. She then started to think about the future, how her little girls would be trained and tortured like the others. A frown appeared on her young-looking face, her husband- Byron- noticed right away, as he had been kneeling by her side.

"What's wrong dear?"

"You know what's wrong,darling." Misaki said while cradling her twins, and watching as they played with her chocolate brown hair.

The father sighed; he had told her many times what was to become of their children after they were born, even before they were married. Though, he couldn't deny Misaki from loving their children, and wanting to keep them from the torturous ways of the Assassin. She was also born into a family of assassins, but had a different outlook in life. However, by marrying the heir of the Labrèches, she would have to let her children be intensively trained.

"Dear, I've told you many times how we'd raise our children; they're from a family of assassins. They can't have a normal childhood."

Misaki's violet eyes darted to Byron, "We can at least try, Byron! Let them relax after missions, they can't train every waking minute."

"They have to train, Misaki. If they don't, they will weaken, and they will lose their abilities. We're competing with the Zoldycks, we can't afford to slip up."

"But Darling, the Zoldycks are our friends, we work together!"

"They only work with us, because we're equal in strength. Once we weaken, they'll drop us." Byron said almost regretfully. He knew that his wife, and Kikyo Zoldyck had known each other since childhood. They were close, and were always happy whenever either family visited. However, it was true. The Zoldycks had been ranked the same as them, and only chose to work with them to build a strong alliance with another strong family.

"How dare you-" Misaki said before she was interrupted by her eldest daughter's voice.

"Mother, Father, is everything alright?" A fifteen year old Kasumi Labrèche asked as she knocked on her parent's bedroom door. She had just gotten back from a mission in Kalmuk City, and heard her younger siblings stirring in bed as she passed their bedrooms. The cause was unknown until she passed her parents room.

"Yes sweetheart, everything's fine. Would you like to come meet your new younger sisters?" Misaki tiredly asked.

"Ah! They have been born? But, what were you two arguing about? Was it about what to name them? I thought that you'd have already picked out names."

"No, Kasumi. Now please come in, and meet your new sisters. Come to my office afterwards, I'll need to speak to you about your mission." Byron emotionlessly said to his daughter as he opened the door, and let himself out.

"Here are your sisters Allison Kisa Labrèche, and Alexandra Marie Labrèche." Misaki said while gesturing to each twin. Allison's middle name was her Mother's name, whereas Alexandra's was Byron's Mother's name.

"Wow…" Kasumi said in awe, her little sisters were adorable! Her Mother and her then just used the remaining time to talk, mostly about ridiculous things; but those kinds of things let them imagine what life would be if they weren't assassins. Once again, she would feel pity for the lives of her younger siblings that haven't even started yet. Yet, when they both came back to reality it was a quarter after twelve. She had spent half an hour talking to her Mother, and admiring the new members of her family, that she forgot to go speak to her Father. Kasumi put on her emotionless mask, and bid her Mother goodnight; however not without kissing both her sisters' foreheads. She then went to her Father's office, wondering if she were to be in trouble for keeping him waiting.
