A/N: Hey there! I had an idea and threw it on to here just to see how it goes.

This takes place during the Hunter exams and after up to where Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio go after Killua to bring him back, because that is how far I have gotten.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Hunter X Hunter. I do own this story and Akane. If you wish to use my O.C, I don't mind, just ask first.

I hope you enjoy this chapter. Please review!

7 YEARS AGO

The morning sun was just breaking through the gray sky. A golden light soon falls on a small girl unconcious on the ground. She had long bright red hair that pooled out around her, almost as if she was laying in a pool of blood.

An old man noticed her and came up to inspect her. This was Zebro, he made sure no one came onto the Zoldyck estate.

The girl looked about 5. But, the fact that she was asleep didn't worry Zebro. The girl was inside the gates.

"Hmm. What to do?" Zebro mused out loud. Should he inform the butlers?

Before he could decide what to do, a boy's voice rang out, "Hey Zebro! Whatcha doin?"

Killua Zoldyck, the young master, was coming closer. "Ah, young Master. It is nothing to worry about." Zebro smiled warmly at the 5 year old boy. Out of all of the Zoldyck's, he liked Killua the most.

Killua twisted around Zebro to look at the girl. "Hey! I know that girl! I've seen her in the human world!"

"Kil, don't be so loud." An older boy walks out from behind a tree. This was Illumi Zoldyck, the eldest of all of the Zoldyck children.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Look!" Killua points to the sleeping girl. "Can we keep her?"

"And who is she?" Illumi cocks his head then adresess Zebro. "Shouldn't you be gaurding the gates?"

Zebro's eyes widen with fear. "Y-yes, master!" Abandoning the girl, he hobbles away.

"I can't remember her name but I've seen her plenty on my missions." Killua explains. "Look, can we ask Father if she can stay?" Killua asks hopefully. Maybe he might get a friend if she's allowed to stay. It was either that or death for the child.

Illumi cocks his head again wondering why his brother is fascinated by this human girl. Maybe he should just kill her...but no. That would upset Kil and he would run to Father and Illumi would be punished for upseting his favorite son. What a mess this all was.

Illumi picked up the girl, slinging her over his shoulder. "Alright, let's go to Father."

2 YEARS LATER

"When will Kil be back?" A girl with bright red hair was seated on on of the two pillars that stood in the path to the Zoldyck mansion.

"I don't know, don't you have a mission to do Akane-sama?" Canary inquired.

Akane jumped off the pillar, landing right in front of Canary. Her dark purple eyes met wide gray ones. "Are you trying to get rid of me, Canary?"

"N-no! That's n-not what I-"

"Oh chill out! I'm joking!" Akane giggled.

"Aka-chi!" A voice rang out from farther down the path. A familiar voice.

Akane's face lit up and she glowed happily. "Kil!"

She ran down the path and she barrels into Killua knocking them both to the ground. They play fight, both giggling.

After finding Akane, they learned that she had amnesia and didn't remember her own name. So, because of her red hair, Killua named her Akane. The Zoldyck's trained her alongside Killua to be an assassin. The two children are best friends.

"You're late! You promised you promised you would teach me the Rhythm Echo!" Akane says. Killua rolls so he's on top and gets up.

"I know. It took longer than I expected." He holds a hand out to her and she grabs it getting up.

"When do we start?" Akane bounces on her toes, ready to go.

"Calm down Aka-chi." Killua giggles. "I got to go to Father and Anneki and tell them the details."

"You can tell me now, Kil." Illumi walks towards the kids. He was carrying two small daggers and a pouch filled with darts.

"Oh hey Illumi. I wanted to talk to both you and Father." Killua wondered who the weapons for.

"Fine. Akane, these are for you." Illumi tossed the weapons to her.

Akane caught them, confused. She exchanged a glance with Killua and he shrugged.

"It's for a mission. Go to Zebro. He has the details." Illumi gestures to Killua. "Come, Kil."

"Good luck! You'll do great!" Killua smiles at Akane and walks away with Illumi.

Akane squeals with delight. Her first mission! She would gave to be sure not to mess up.

She skips to the exit, not knowing it would lead her down the wrong path.

A MONTH LATER

"We have to go find her!" Killua cries. "She may need help! Please, Father! Let me go find her!"

Akane had yet to come back from her mission. She had been missing for a month and Killua was panicking.

"Kil, I know it's hard, but she's gone." His father's voice was soft. "You have to let her go."

"I will never let her go! Never!" Killua ran away from his father's out stretched hand.

Killua ran to the forest, climbing the tree that he and Akane used to climb all the time. Tears streamed down his face. "I will never forget you, Akane. I will found you."
