The tattoo was burnt into my skin.
The number nine was in the middle of the spider with twelve legs.
My shoulder stung, but I felt like I belonged.
I was surprised I was let in so easily.
I had been involved with the Chain User.
But they had let me in with open arms.
Nobunaga patted my back, "Thanks for reconsidering, you're a strong little guy."
I smiled, "I just needed… a family."
I felt a pang of guilt, they had killed the Kurta clan, but they accepted me. They understood I hadn't purposely killed Killua.
They were understanding, loyal, and friendly.
A found family.
I needed to send my thanks to Kalluto.
Franklin patted my head, "Welcome little dude."
Machi wasn't happy that I replaced Ms. Pakunoda, but she was kind.
Shizuku and Shalnark hung out with me when I was bored.
The two other guys who I never knew helped me get used to the tattoo; Kortopi and the mummy guy.
Phinks was a little rude at first but soon we started to get along, jokingly punching each other.
Chrollo wasn't here.
But no matter what, I felt happy. They wouldn't betray me, they were kind to me, they cared. They would never abandon me.
This was my new found family.
