It had been 3 days since it started…

-3 days ago- [flashback]

Once again, she kept nagging about it…

"Why don't you become a maid of the Zoldycks?" My friend Ria asked. "I mean you're good at fighting, especially when you use Nen. To top it off you're like an elite maid that fell from the sky! I remember when you helped with our housework once, you finished one batch of dirty dishes within 5 minutes! 5 minutes! And when I checked it, it was spotless!" she exclaimed.

"Yeah, and the next thing I know my head is in some kind of gallery or better yet a garbage can." I said plainly. Seriously she never gives up on convincing me. "That won't happen!" She said in counter. "Oh really what makes you think so? Have you forgotten that they're a family of professional assassins?!" I said in frustration. Any moment now I'm going to snap but might as well give up anyway she's been going non-stop like that for 2 weeks now, and well, I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! "Just believe me please~?" She said using puppy eyes. Sigh. "FINE! But if I die I'm going to hunt you." I said in defeat.

-End of flashback-

So far the tasks given to me were easy. That is for me. "(name)!" I heard Gotoh call me. "Yes?" I said in response. "Put these dishes on the table, now." I took the dishes and placed them on the table like I should. A few moments later the Zoldycks came down to eat lunch. As I was about to leave lady kikyou called me "(name), please call Illumi to come down and dine with us." She said in a flat tone. "Yes kikyou-sama" I replied then bowed. After that I went to Illumi's room. "Illumi-sama lady has requested you to dine." I said and he nodded, then he walked passed me and went to the dining hall. Honestly I'm scared of Illumi. Whenever he's around I can feel myself becoming nervous, my face heats up a bit and my heart is beating fast non-stop, of course unless he disappears. So assume that this is fear I am feeling.

I went to the dining hall and went to one of the corners so if any one of the Zoldycks needed something. For example, now. "(name), please get some chocolate" killua said. "Yes Killua-sama." So I went to the kitchen and took a bar of chocolate and gave it to Killua. "Here it is Killua-sama" I said as I handed him the chocolate. "Thanks" he simply replied to me. As I returned to my spot I heard lady kikyou speak " So, anyways Illumi you are 24 now am I correct?" she asked her oldest son. "Yes, mother" He replies with the same poker face I see 24/7. "Since you are old enough I suppose you should get married for the next heir." She said to him. 'What?!' I said in my thoughts as my heart dropped. Why do I suddenly feel so down? Shouldn't I be happy that Illumi is going to get married and will get out of my sight for once? It feels so weird it's like a part of myself had just died or something.
