Hi there! Since you seemed to want a YuriNio chapter, here it is. I actually already made a child for them but I wasn't sure I wanted to include him for this fic. Well, there it is. I hope you'll like it.

He looked at what he managed to get today. A wallet full of money. Such a sight should have made anyone smile, but he didn't. He felt nothing. He didn't steal it for his own satisfaction, but out of necessity. He was living on the street, he needed money to survive. And stealing was the best option he came up with.

People were so gullible. All he had to do is pulled out some magic trick to get people's attention and discreetly rob them when they weren't paying attention. It was child's play. Despite doing it only to survive, he did feel some slight amusement by how easily he could trick others. It made him felt like they were beneath him, like he was superior to them. He felt above the law, like he could do anything. This feeling was so empowering.

"You've got some talents, kid. Too bad you're wasting it on pickpocketing."

Instinctively, he hid the wallet and turned back. There was a blonde woman who was smiling at him in a way that seemed kind. But he remained on his guard, ready to run. She saw him stealing, so she was a potential threat. But he was curious to know what she had to say.

"Who are you and what do you want from me?" he asked calmly.

"Well, you caught my attention. I noticed your skills. You are someone special, did you know that?"

"Of course I know that. I'm different from others, I'm better than them. But it doesn't tell me who you are and what you want from me."

"Straight to business uh...Well, I'm part of a clan, a clan that look for people with your type of skills. I'm currently the head of this clan, and I think you would be a great addition to my clan. You could become even more powerful if you join me. It would be a way for you to use your talents for a purpose rather than just to survive on the street. Interested?"

The woman's smile seemed more sinister. He could even see her teeth, which were abnormally sharp. That woman too wasn't normal, just like him. She must be among those who were special.

He only stole to survive. If he could have a chance for a better life, he would take it. This clan seemed like a better option than living on the street. It could be a place where he could use his skills more efficiently. It could be a place worthy of his talents.

"I accept," he finally said.

The blonde woman brought him to a mansion. Quite a luxurious place. It wasn't a place he expected to go, considering the fact he lived on the street most of his life.

"Is this your house?" he asked.

"Well, I'm living here, but it doesn't belong to me. It belongs to her," the woman replied.

He noticed that she slightly blushed. They both went inside the mansion and they headed for a specific room. Inside was a middle-aged woman wearing a suit. Just by looking at her he knew she must be someone important, among the specials. She gave off the vibe of someone who was above others and knew it. She smiled at them when they came into her office.

"Nio-san, I see that you bring a guest. I'm Yuri Meichi, the head of this household. Nice to meet you."

The young boy was confused. She was the boss here? Wasn't it supposed to be that blonde woman, Nio?

"Are you from the clan she told me about?" he asked.

"No, I'm actually from another clan. A clan that in a way, you are already part of," Yuri replied.

This answer left him even more confused.

"You are probably lost right now. This is the woman I serve, my queen. And you will be my heir for my clan. You aren't special for nothing. Not only you have the skills to be part of my clan, you actually share the same blood as my queen. By joining my clan, you'll be linked to both of us, meaning you'll be my perfect successor," Nio explained.

"Usually males in my clan are dispensable, but Nio-san convinced me that you may have more value than initially thought. This is why I agreed to let her take you under her wing, as her heir, and I'll offer my support for your education," Yuri added.

So he was blood-related to that woman, Yuri. No wonder why she had such a superior vibe, they were from the same family. He felt that by her side, he may achieve the power that he deserved. And being the heir of that other woman's clan would surely contribute to it.

"I understand. I want to be part of her clan, I'm the right person to be her heir," he replied.

"Good. Then I'll leave most of your training to Nio-san, I hope you'll be a disciplined child, because she sure wasn't when she was a kid…"

"Y-Yuri-san, please don't tell him that!" Nio exclaimed, embarrassed, before she regained her composure. "Anyway, under my training, you will learn how to be a proper assassin for the Kuzunoha clan. First, you'll need to learn how to smile," Nio said.

So it was an assassin clan. It didn't bother him. He had no issues with killing people, especially if it brought him what he wanted.

"Smile?" he asked.

"Yes, smiling is an excellent tool. It makes people less wary of you and can hide the fact you secretly hate them," Nio replied.

So despite how she looked, Nio wasn't actually a kind person. He was fine with it. He had no moral to begin why.

"Ah, I almost forget. What is your name?" Nio asked.

But before he could answer, the blonde woman talked again.

"You know what, it doesn't matter. You have a new life now, so you'll have a new name."

He didn't even want to protest. He didn't really care in the first place. He had no attachment to his current name, and if having a new one was the price to have this new life, he was fine with it.

"How about...Ah, I know. Tori. Kuzunoha Tori. That will be your name now," Nio said.

Tori...sounds fine to him. That will be his name from now one. Both his "guardians" were smiling, so he decided to give it a try. An awkward smile appeared on his lips, the first one he ever did, and under Nio's training, not the last one.

There will be one last chapter, I let you guess whose child it is going to be ;)
