Down the hall, Ruby ran to find Illumi's room. Passing window after window, she stumbled across a lone door. She stood there, getting ready to knock, when the door flung open and had the said man holding the door. "Yes, Ruby...?" Illumi asked, with his blank gaze and unchanging features. Apparently he wore his sleepwear, while...Rui...was curled up in a ball on his bed, fully clothed.

"First of all...why is my sister in your room...? Second, I have news for you... Sikiyona said she was a Zoldyck, so I came to ask if you could talk to her...or at least one of your parents..." She said, with a stoic look to her. Illumi turned around and shut the door, before nodding in understanding. "I'm guessing he's going to get dressed...but, Rui's in there!" She mentally screamed and was about to thrash down the door, until he opened it again.

He was now dressed, surprising Ruby that it didn't take him long. "I brought Rui to my room, seeing as her room's preoccupied with Sikiyona..." He answered promptly, before trotting past her and heading to Rui's room.

"Wait... Did you even get behind something, to dress yourself?!" The hawk twin asked, with anger evident in her golden peers. She watched him walk down the hall, with a simple nod for reassurance. "How quick, does that man move...?" She asked herself in her head, then followed after him.

Down the hall, came Illumi's grandfather. Both of them stopped in mid pace, with his grandfather doing the same. "Illumi... What are you doing, at this time of night...?" He asked, as he watched his grandson step a bit closer.

"Ruby came to get me.. She claims Sikiyona is a Zoldyck, she mentioned her saying so. I'm going to see for myself..." He admitted and waited for his reply. The elder squinted his orbs slightly, then nodded. He watched as the two went past him, caution in his peers. Following behind them, he wanted to know if what he said was true.

As they all paced themselves down the hall, crying was heard. Ruby thought it would be best if she tried to hurry, so she did. She ran to Siki, in hopes that she didn't leave the room. Unfortunately, she did.. Siki was running down the hall, away from them. Thus the whole ordeal of them chasing after her, went on.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

She ran..as fast as her legs could run... Her trench coat, that looked like a winters jacket flailed beautifully behind her. Her blue sandals padded against the flooring as she ran, tears flown through the air when she sprinted past the scene.

She ran through hallway after hallway, passing up windows and elegant interior items. She was crying, her frosted orbs watered with tears and soaking her face. "104 years... has passed, since I was taken away! THEY'RE DEAD! THEY'RE ALL DEAD! FIIJUKA, MOTHER, FATHER! THEY ARE ALL DEAAAD!" Siki cried out in her head, everything was catching up in her mind. She went back to a child, then grew an adult's mind within a few seconds. All those aching memories, finally made themselves known and awakened her. She remembers everything now...including the past stuff that she went through with Vince, up til now. Everything was piling up on her... Just imagine your mind being manipulated for one hundred and four years, then it ending up not being true. Your memories of your child self being hidden and nothing you do, can make it come back; Until one fateful day where it all does come back on its own. Its like taking immortality away from a human who's over two hundred years old...they age so fast it hurts, then they die... In her case, it's her mind that's aging..

Her head was pounding, going from age six to one hundred and ten far too quickly. Coming across a pair of double doors, she swung it open and rushed outside, yearning for fresh air. She looked around, her widened lids darting all over the space before her. She held her head once more, wincing at the pain that was worse than a migraine. Tossing her head from left to right, moving around in circles and into unpredictable directions. Just as she turned, a nearby tree was on her side and she rammed into it. She backed away, ignoring the tree and continued on with her reckless movement.

Ruby, Zeno and Illumi had finally found her. Spotting her, she was aimlessly running around, with her hands on her head. Ruby ran up to her and tried to catch her but, got jerked away when Siki backed up further from her. Illumi just watched, as he stood near the double doors and Zeno casually walked to the reckless Glacial Reaper. Once he stood by Ruby, he waited for the right moment to grab her; His black orbs watched Cold Chill's movement, then finally spotted an opening.

He took this chance and flashed out of view, reappeared behind her and held her back from under her armpits. Siki thrashed about, bobbing her head and cried out in pain. Ruby ran over and cupped her face, trying to keep her head still. "Sikiyona..." She whispered, so that she wouldn't hurt her head, anymore than it is already. With her words, she seen her icy orbs open. "Listen to me, you've got to hang in there... The pain you're feeling, you have to endure it. Keep your attention on me, look at me and don't look away... Don't look away until you feel the pain easing." She said with reassurance, noticing how Siki was calming down a bit.

Out came Rui, from the double doors. She made herself a spot on the ground, next to Illumi. She was concerned about Siki; Waking up and noticing Illumi wasn't there, had made her come look for him. When she did find him, she saw her sister and Illumi's grandfather outside, trying to calm Sikiyona down.

It took a while for Siki's head pain to ease, they all stood out there for about ten minutes and she finally came back to her senses. Siki's eyes lit up with more life, than what they used to have. She peered into Ruby's golden gaze, lips slightly apart and widened lids. Crickets sounded off in the distance, lightning bugs began to swarm and silence met everyone's ears.

"Sikiyona... I want you to tell Zeno, EVERYTHING you remember.." With those words, the frost lady turned her head, still having that shocked expression. Zeno had let go of her, so she could face the elder himself. Looking into his features, she could see Fiijuka in there.

"Fii..juka... Brother..." She mumbled to herself, catching the ears of Zeno who stood a foot away from her. Slowly stepping closer, she rose a shaky hand and lightly caressed her index and middle finger over the elder's cheek. "Fiijuka...?" Zeno squinted his gaze, knowing that name from anywhere.

"No... I'm afraid I'm not Fiijuka... I am his son..." He had slight mourn in his voice, finally realizing who she was. "You're my aunt, the sister of my father..? I knew there was something familiar about you..." His voice was stern but had concern in it. "Now..tell me.. What do you remember...?" He asked, still as stoic as ever. He tightened his grip on his kane, prepared to hear the long story.

"Ah... yes... Fiijuka, is dead now... You are indeed, Zeno..." Twas her response, before starting to explain the whole story. Time went on as she explained everything, from her small childhood with Fiijuka to the part about her getting kidnapped and having her mind manipulated for over a century. Everything was in fine detail with her vocabulary, even Ruby sat down to listen. She was pissed that someone had kidnapped her, at the age of SIX! Rui and Illumi was next to her too, Ruby's twin sat beside her while Illumi stood behind them both. Though they never expected Silva and Kikyo to eavesdrop near the double doors, they stood behind the door and they were surprised.

One hundred and four years of manipulation, torture, experimentation and who knows what else..had turned her into a human robot practically; Now she was free... Tears rolled down Siki's face, her cheeks flushed from crying and emotional pain showing itself on her features.

She felt slightly happy, to know that she at least had a nephew, after the whole century. Now she knows...which side she truly belongs on. "Zeno...my dear Nephew... What happened to Fiijuka...?" She asked in her robotic yet soft voice, seeming to be a bit less lifeless than it used to be. Zeno shut his lids and sighed through his nose, knowing full well what happened.

"He died an old man...Aunt... He told me when I was young, that he had a sister that got kidnapped when they were both little. He said, 'Ever since that day, I have been searching for her, but no sign of her had surfaced...' Thus, he made a vow, he decided to have his family turn into nothing but assassins. Why...? ….Well it's because that exact night, when you got kidnapped. He hoped making this family into a 'family of assassins', would enhance the security of the house and the power to protect ourselves as well; It's not only to do contracts with others, to gain money for the family and such..." He finished, before opening his orbs back to Siki. He noticed how wide her icy peers were and how her lips was barely apart; He could tell she was shocked...

Back in Netero's office, the chairman himself sat at his desk. He was reading some papers, when a knock occurred on his door. The said elder looked up and called for them to come in. "Please, come in!~" He cheerfully announced, seeing the door open. There stood Neon in her rogue attire, smiling sweetly to the old man.

"Hello Sir Netero, I have come to deliver news...regarding the Rebellion Leader..." Neon mentioned with her gentle, soft voice and bowed in respect. In came black shifter with a large box, that looked far bigger than his own body. His nen aura seemed to be stretched around the box, like an octopus with only two arms.

Netero's eyes widened slightly at the box but, went back to their usual selves right after. "Go ahead, I'm all ears!~" He approved and kept his attention on the box. He stood up from his seat, maneuvered around his desk and held his gaze upon the two.

Black shifter sat the giant box down, retracted his aura that stretched out and bowed too. "My lord, this here box contains all the papers that was used to sign fighters up, for the upcoming war... There's over a two thousand people joining; On every piece of sheet in there, have claims that they've trained hard and some claim that they are fully prepared for the battle. What is your command, Sir?" Both Shifter and Neon stood as still as statues, bowing in place.

Netero began rubbing his beard, looking at the two and pondering on the info he gained. "Over two thousand, ay?" He muttered in his head. He smile to that, knowing that people are willing to risk their lives to save man kind, from extinction and mutation. "Very well! Have EVERYONE prepare for departure, including our own soldiers we've trained! I'll need one of you two, to deliver a message to the twins and their lovers. Tell them it's time! I'll try and make a contract with the family of assassins, in hopes that they will take part in this war, their pay will be grand! Now, hurry- we have a lot to do!" He announced, with a confident and strong voice.

With his words, the two vanished with a 'Yes, Sir!' and left the elder in his office. Deep thoughts about the youngster twins, made him sad a bit. Knowing that children are going to attend the war, upset him greatly...but their power and their strong heart to protect, serve, save man kind and will to go on was a huge exception. Not to mention they had every right to join in on the war, since they were victims to that evil Leader... "I will see you two soon, kids..." He mumbled to himself, turned to his desk and sat down.

Back at the mansion; Siki, Ruby, Rui, Illumi and Hisoka all sat in the family room with Illumi's parents and his grandfather. Killua, Kikyo and Silva kept staring at Sikiyona...who had that robotic feature to her again. "So... You're saying, that Sikiyona is a Zoldyck..?" Silva asked, quite surprised to know his father's aunt was still alive. Zeno explained everything to Silva, Kikyo and the others; Not knowing that they have actually eavesdropped on them... "Correct, I am Sikiyona Zoldyck... Sister of Fiijuka Zoldyck and Aunt of Zeno Zoldyck... I have finally found my place, my family and the truth about myself... I am in dept to Ruby once more, for bringing back memories that had been locked away...deep within my mind. She had told me to endure said pain, that I deem the levels of agony...higher than a migraine." Siki said, making Kikyo grow a questionable expression. Silva, who was as stoic as ever, shut his lids in thought.

"This woman... She certainly does remind me of Illumi, the way she speaks.. Her unreadable features, her monotonous voice and the way she looks at people...are all robotic. Yet, I do see a change in her, it looks as if she has more life in her now. Even my father claimed she was his Aunt, I dare not question his assumptions.. If he says, that she's a Zoldyck, then who am I to argue...?" Silva asked himself in his mind, opening his gaze back to the frost lady. "Very well.. My father said that you were a Zoldyck and here you are stating you are one. I'll have a servant escort you to many spare rooms, for you to pick from. You may request any type of preferred design, to the servant and they will get to work... I will inform the rest of the family about who you are, what you are and why you're here." He finished,

Out of the blue Rui squeeled and tackled Siki, making them both fall to the ground. The frost lady's peers was slightly wide from surprise, appearing nearly similar to Illumi when he got tackled. "Congratulations Siki-san, hahahahaha!~" Rui had a gleeful expression, open mouth and shut lids. Though what was unexpected was...when she got picked up by her lover and got placed into his hold. He held her bridal style, turned the other direction and left the room...with a madly blushing Rui in tow.

Hisoka sat right next to Ruby, smiling up a storm with a faint flush on his cheeks. After a while, it seemed she had passed out and was laying her head on his shoulder...it was a loooooong night...
