Illumi had just came home, back from his mission and he feels a little bit tired but he still had another mission later so he probably needed to rest even for just a while. Every time he's home, he always wanted to see Killua because he misses his favourite little brother all the time and it's been a while that both of them aren't assigned in a mission together. They've been having missions individually these days but Illumi wants to see Killua kill his target once again though he's just really proud of his brother. Killua always tells his servants to notify him if Illumi already came back home because he also wanted to see his big brother and he always feels happy when he'll see Illumi. Every time the butlers tell him that Illumi's home, he always came by running and heads to Illumi.

"Illu-nii!" Killua ran happily towards Illumi and embraced him. "Welcome home, Illu-nii!"

"Missed me much?" Illumi smiled a bit.

"So much, as always."

"Sorry for being away as always, Killu."

Killua shook his head then he looked up at Illumi and smiled.

"That's okay; it's your job to assassinate your targets."

"I was thinking," Illumi said. "Would you like to train with me?" Illumi asked him.

Killua was about to tell his big brother that he'd love to, but he was interrupted when his sister called his name and ran to him; so he went to his sister and asked her of what she needs.

"What is it, Alluka?" Killua asked her.

"Onii-chan, please play with me." Alluka requested.

By the time Alluka requested him to play with her, he had no other choices left. The only choice he had is to do what her sister requests because...there are quite some issues about her whenever she requests something.

"Killu?"

"I uh..." Killua still doubted about it. Even though he really wanted to go with his big brother and spend time with him, he still has to fulfill his sister's request. "Illu-nii, I'm sorry but Alluka still needs me. I guess I'll do it some other time," Killua smiled and rubbed the back of his head but on the inside, he feels bad about it.

"I see, well some other time then." Illumi said as he walked away.

Killua recalled about just earlier when Illumi was walking away and it looked like Illumi was being cold and upset, he didn't know. Illumi's always emotionless and he pulls out the same emotionless face all the time and Killua saw the same face earlier too, but according to his thoughts Illumi really liked to train with him even for just a while but he was refused and he got upset about it so Killua feels guilty about it. Or maybe he was just being paranoid...he doesn't understand it at all! He can't exactly tell what Illumi's thinking earlier because he never shows any emotions at all.

Killua's been standing there for a while already and Alluka was waiting for him to finish thinking but she can't wait to play with him so she just called Killua and hoped that he would respond.

"Onii-chan?" Alluka spoke.

Finally, Killua snapped out of thinking too much then he apologized to his sister and led her to the playing area. So they both started playing together, playing in the sand and Killua's helping Alluka build a sandcastle. Even though Killua's enjoying playing with Alluka, he's still worried about Illumi and wondering if Illumi's mad at him. He's already hesitating and thinking deeply and Alluka's been calling him but he wasn't focused to everything around him.

"Onii-chan!" Alluka spoke louder.

Killua got out of his thoughts then he smiled to Alluka.

"Ah, I'm so sorry Alluka."

"What's the problem?" Alluka shifted her position closer to Killua.

"I don't have any problems, I'm okay." Killua smiled as he denies.

Alluka folded her arms to her chest and made a pouty expression.

"I don't like big brothers that lie." Alluka said.

Killua sighed, since he didn't want to make his sister mad at him.

"It's about Illu-nii...I'm just worried if I'd let him get upset. He wants to spend some time with me and I do too, but it's just that I don't want you to be upset if I can't play with you, as your brother I want you to be happy." Killua explained to Alluka.

"I'm sorry, onii-chan. I shouldn't have got in your way, you always spend lots of your time with me and you haven't got the chance to spend time with Illumi-niichan because he's always away. He had his free time today and I managed to pull you away from him, I'm really sorry onii-chan, Nanika's sorry too." Alluka bowed down her head as she apologized.

Killua smiled and patted Alluka's head.

"You shouldn't be sorry, but thanks for being considerate about it."

"I would do anything to make onii-chan happy," Alluka smiled brightly.

"But, what about you? Will you be okay if I'll leave you here? I don't want you to be alone." Killua was worried about Alluka because he really needs to watch over her.

"Don't worry; I'll be playing with Kalluto-chan." Alluka smiled for Killua not to feel worried about her.

Killua ran along, heading inside the mansion and searched for his brother. When he went to Illumi's room and got inside, he saw nobody inside then he walked out of Illumi's room and searched for him somewhere around the house. He saw other servants walking by, so he ran to them to ask where Illumi was.

"Have you seen Illu-nii?" Killua asked.

"He already left, Killua-sama," One of the butlers answered.

"Left? To where?"

"He's having his mission today and I heard that he's going to a far place."

Killua's starting to panic and feel a bit nervous.

"When will he come back?"

The two servants looked at each other confused then they smiled nervously at Killua.

"We're very sorry Killua-sama, but we have no idea when Illumi-sama will return."

He immediately ran upstairs because he got no information about Illumi, so he headed to his parents' room because they probably know where his brother was and they're mostly the ones who're assigning the missions.

As Killua entered his parents' room, he can see both of his parents discussing something but then he suddenly asked something.

"Dad, mom, where's Illu-nii?"

Killua's parents were surprised yet worried because he looks tensed.

"He's already off to his mission, Killu." Kikyou, Killua's mother replied with a smile.

"I want to go with him," Killua insisted.

"Killu, what's with the sudden request? We can't allow you to go with your brother for now. His mission is very dangerous and if you go with him, you probably won't handle it and it will cause for Illumi to have trouble with his mission because of you," Kikyou explained worriedly.

"But, but, I really..."

Silva placed his hands on Killua's shoulders.

"Your mother is right, Killu. We're sorry but it's for the best," Silva said.

Killua looked down with a disappointed look on his face, feeling guilty because he wasn't able to tell his brother of what he wanted to say to him. Killua ran off from his parents' room then went inside his room, closed the door then he collapsed on his bed and covered his face with a pillow.

"Illu-nii...I'm sorry...I miss you so much..."

"Killu?"

Killua heard a familiar voice while he's asleep but he didn't mind and just continued to sleep.

"Killu?"

Killua heard the same voice mentioning his name and still he didn't respond.

Illumi was staring at Killua while he's sleeping and he's the one who's been calling out Killua's name. He kept trying to wake his little brother up but his little brother still wanted to sleep. He just watched Killua while he's sleeping and stopped disturbing him for a while because it is nice to look at Killua's cute sleeping face.

"Mm..."

Illumi heard Killua making a sound and also started shifting his position while sleeping.

"Illu-nii...I miss...you..."

Illumi saw Killua's tears flowing down from his eyes and he also kept mentioning Illumi's name. Illumi wiped the tears from Killua's eyes, and he stroked his hair.

"Don't cry Killu, onii-chan is here." Illumi smiled.

Killua finally stopped crying and he calmed down a bit. He's starting to open his eyes slowly then blinked. He sat up and his vision was a bit unclear so he rubbed both of his eyes and after that he's starting to see a clearer view.

"Illu-nii?" Killua said, looking at Illumi in disbelief.

"Killu, you're awake."

Killua stared at Illumi in a while, not saying anything but looking at him as if he couldn't believe that it's really Illumi. Is he seeing Illumi for real? Or he was still dreaming? He still doubts about it. But wasn't Illumi on his way to his mission? There's no way he'd return this early.

"Illu-nii..." Killua said in a calm tone and expression.

"What is it, Killu?" Illumi patted Killua's head.

'Did Illu-nii just pat me? I can feel his warm hand on top of my head, so that means...'

Killua's tears filled Killua's eyes until it flowed down to his cheeks. Illumi wondered what made his little brother cry and a confused look marked on his face. Killua grabbed Illumi's hand from his head and placed it near his chest then intertwined his fingers on Illumi's.

"Thank goodness..." Killua sobbed. "Thank goodness you're back Illu-nii!" Killua was really glad to see his big brother that he can't hold his tears because he's just so happy.

"Killu?"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry that I ruined our chance to spend time together and train together. It's all my fault, I'm so sorry..." Killua cried while embracing Illumi.

"It's not your fault Killu, don't blame yourself." Illumi stroked Killua's soft silver hair. "We can still hang out together tomorrow." Illumi smiled.

Killua looked up at his brother with a confused look.

"But what about your mission..."

"It's my day off tomorrow. We can train and spend time together, would you like that?"

Killua smiled with his eyes closed and nodded.

Here's chapter three! Thanks for reading this chapter, please don't forget to review ^^

I'm sorry I haven't updated for a long time. Even though I started this chapter a long time ago, I wasn't able to finish because I ran out of ideas and I wasn't inspired to write. I know the chapters I wrote were short but I'll try to make it longer for the later chapters.

I want to thank those who followed and reviewed for my story! I appreciate it so much :)
