CHAPTER 7
- ZOLDYCK CHILDREN -

Munch munch munch...

gobble gobble gobble...

I haven't eaten since last night. The last time I ate was before we left the present time period. I wasn't even given the chance last night to have my dinner. Maybe if I woke up earlier, I could've had breakfast together with my fellow butlers.

Hard to admit I owe one from this brat today. There he is, sitting across me, staring at me blankly while I ate a whole plate of spaghetti with meatballs and mashed potatoes. He actually called the kitchen to prepare a quick dish to be sent to his room. It was totally unexpected that it was actually for me.

His room though looked a bit more eye-friendly in this time period than in my current time. It didn't change that much, only now with that shelf of books, creepy puppets, along with other unsightly toys and brighter lighting. Although I never really have ventured into his room back then, like why should I?, I only had a sneak peek of how it looked like whenever I had the chance to pass by the area.

"Next time you should wake up earlier so you can eat breakfast on time..." He told me.

"Thory Young Math-ter...!" I tried to scoop larger amounts into my mouth that suddenly got me choking...

COUGH COUGH!

I grabbed the nearby glass of soda and gulped on it until I got rid of the congestion in my throat.

"So what about the kitchen staff? What if they tell the Masters that you ordered for some food?"

"They won't. If they would, they know what's gonna happen to them..." He jumped from his seat. "You owe me one for today."

He went to his dresser and started combing his hair while I finally chewed on my last mouthful, then fixing my mess on the table.

"You can leave it there. The janitor will fix it for us. We have to hurry..."

"Please turn to page 345..." The private tutor instructed. "It shows in the diagram that the Republic of Padokea is located 120 degrees from..."

Yawn... I feel sluggish. It's been 3 hours since I stood here in this corner, waiting for an order from my 'Young Master', look after him and give him whatever he needs while he's taking his daily lessons by a Private Tutor solely hired to educate the Zoldyck children generation to generation. I didn't know this one though. She wasn't the one who gave me my private lessons back then.

"Kill...?"

I was awakened from my thoughts when he called me out.

"Can you get me 10 sheets of blank papers, a ruler and a red marker?"

"Certainly... Just a moment..."

At least, I knew where the Storage Room is located. I just grabbed what I was asked for and gave it to him right away. Pretty much boring doing nothing at the moment...

"Here ya go, Young Master..."

"Thank you... Oh, and get me another glass of water too again..."

He had been asking me for water quite a number of times already. I can tell he is getting a bit hungry. He could've been fasting since yesterday... at least his sked in my manual says so.

"Sorry to keep you waiting..."

I carried my cup of instant noodles and a box of juice I grabbed from the servant's cafeteria towards him. I am not supposed to get him out of my sight and if possible I was told to eat my meals wherever he is.

His private classes just ended and it's lunch time.

There he is, him and his flabby cheeks. He's sitting on the grass under the sunny blue sky as his huge, soulless fish-like eyes stared blankly into nowhere. He was throwing pins at a dummy hung up a tree.

He didn't answer me nor looked back at me. I sat besides him anyway.

"Want some?" I tried teasing him. I know he would give in soon heehee...! He's dead hungry since yesterday. I know he can smell the noodles now, and its knocking into his senses, begging for him to eat it right now and break his training, hahaha!

"Are you dumb? I already told you I'm not allowed to eat anything for the whole day..."

"Are you sure...? Mr. Noodlesoup will feel sad if you wouldn't eat him... Look at his sad little face awww..."

"Stop it, it's not funny..."

Compared to yesterday, he seems a bit fussy today. Maybe because he was too hungry and wasn't in the mood, even though as far as I know him, he doesn't usually mind.

If there's something I would admire about him, that would probably be his self-discipline... But first thing's first, I can't let that thing Tsubone told me yesterday about this spawn of hell slide. He might look gentle and harmless right now... but his future says otherwise.

I might at least know why and how this little rascal butchered his ex-babysitter to death...

"Say..., Illumi-bocchan?..." He finally looked back at me. "Oh, are you fine about me calling you THAT?"

"As you please. All of my babysitters call me that anyway..." He then went back to throwing pins again.

"All?"

"Yeah, All..."

"Does that mean you have other babysitters than me?"

"Before..."

"What happened to them?"

He stopped throwing pins the moment I ended my last question. He looked into my eyes. "They left..."

I don't understand how I just suddenly felt fear running down my spine the moment he his eyes locked into mine answering me. Maybe because it was my reflex to avoid his stare of despair and no matter what, this helpless child in front of me is HIM. It was HIM before all of that strength and power. Even though I was told not to change anything in the past, I am tempted to do something about it, right here right now...

I don't have any chances other than this...

"Oi Kill..." He tilted his head, checking on me. "Are you okay?"

I snapped back to reality right away to realize I accidentally spilled my noodles on the grass. "AAAAAAAHHHH! My noodles!"

"Hahahaha!" He pointed at me and laughed. "Baa-ka! haha!"

"Zzup? How's it going?"

"Everything's going well..."

Ging sipped some coffee as he walked his way approaching the girl, at Greed Island's entrance, Eeta.

"Why did you call me though?"

"I had some questions in regards to the transformation number of this restricted card with the time travel function." She talked whilst working on something at her unit.

"Didn't I tell you before? Just do your thing and see if the function works...!"

"But the amount of nen used for this function is pretty immense... I've said once, we can only serve 4. And I don't think we can sustain it up to a month... I hope not, but there's a huge chance of them getting trapped in that alternate reality if we pursue on that '1-month' function period."

Ging looked back at her.

"Are you sure you're fine with that?" Eeta asked in confirmation... "You may not see him anymore..."

"Hahah! Do you know who are you talking about?" He chuckled. "I already told you to do your thing and that meant I already entrusted you the whole matter... whatever you decide will make it." He tapped her shoulder then turning his back to head out of the control room.

"And if ever you slip this time, you need not to worry. They're more than what you think..."

Brrrrrrrrrrr...

My stomach was growling while I stood by the corner of the playground, watching the little devil empty his trolley of weird, unsightly 'toys' into the sandpit.

I still can't get over how funny it is to see him playing helplessly like a little, innocent child. After all, he REALLY was a child. But NOT innocent.

I had at least 3 hours to let him play before we proceed to his next task...

He looked so dumb making weird sounds, talking to himself while playing with his toy plane, a puppet, and a robot. And it would even look dumber if the current him would be doing that exact thing he's doing right now, hahaha! He wont even fit in the sandpit! Oh wait! No! He's gonna dig a deep hole and sleep on it! What a creep!

"Are you laughing by yourself?" He asked noticing I can't hold it to myself, snickering to death.

"No I'm not." I approached him and swallowed down my laughter. "Don't you feel a little lonely playing all by yourself?" I asked, and sat down besides him.

"Nope..." He answered with a straight face. "I'm used to playing by myself..."

He then stood up and put the plane, the puppet and the robot back into his trolley.

"But you're here now so I want you to help me with something..." He approached me.
