CHAPTER 8
- FORTUNE TELLER -

"Hello?" He sat on the sandpit while making his call using the wireless handset. "I needed 3 boxes of legos right away... " "..." "I'm here in the sandpit..." "..." "Okay..."

"There. They'll be arriving soon with the boxes of lego we needed." He turned to tell me.

"Cool! Soooo, what are we building?" I pretended to be thrilled about it.

"You'll see when the remaining boxes of lego arrive, for now help me build a sturdy, wide... wide... flat, rectangle..." He pulled another trolley full of legos closer to him and started to lay the pieces he chose down to the ground.

I watched him do his thing. I have no idea what is he planning to do anyways. Hard to admit but this little devil was pretty easy to look after. I guess I know where did his leadership as the eldest among us come from. He was very independent and obedient as well. It's hard to imagine that a decent, well behaved child like him would turn out to be a nightmare someday...

"Say,... Kill..." He spoke while fitting the pieces together. "That zappy, sparky thingy you did last night... was that one of your 'powers'?"

Hah, did I impress him? I shall say yes haha! "Yeah... why?" I asked.

"So you knew how to use Nen..." He continued. "How old are you?"

"15..."

"from?"

"Meteor City..."

He stopped asking for the moment and concentrated back to his building blocks. He seemed to have a problem finding the right piece for the corner he was working on. "Here ya go..." I handed him the missing piece.

"3 boxes of Legos as you ordered Young Master,... Is there something else that you need?" Some butlers arrived with the boxes of Lego the little devil requested.

"Nah, Just leave it there." He instructed, still busy on his thing. The butlers bowed before they left.

"C'mon, let's unpack them..." He stood up and left what he's doing with me following him behind. I opened the boxes, tore the plastic covering and poured the contents into another empty trolley. He did the remaining last box.

We pulled the trolley towards the sandpit and got back to where we stopped. He went back to building that 'wide... wide... flat rectangle' he was telling me.

"What is your Nen?"

"Transmuter..."

"Cool..."

"Where is your family?" He asked me. Something I find difficult to answer.

"Well, they're gone..." I bluffed.

"Oh I see..." He plainly responded with utter lack of empathy. "It would be great if I would be at least as strong as you someday..."

It was an entirely unexpected comment from him.

"Hahaha! Naww... believe me! You'll be even stronger than me someday...!"

"You think so...?"

"Yeah!" I gave him a smile. "Like, why not? You're a Zoldyck after all!"

Of course he will! I wouldn't bother thinking of getting rid of him if he had never been a huge threat to me in the future...

However, no matter what... no matter when...

I just can't...

"Strange..." Despite the monotony in his words and action underlies a very faint hint of self-doubt. "What makes you say that...?" He asked further.

I held his little shoulders to face me. "I'll tell you a secret..."

He gave me a confused look.

"Promise me you won't tell anyone!"

He nodded as I pointed my pinky finger unto him. "It's a deal yo!" He stared at his pinky for a little while before hesitantly twisted it with mine.

"Good!" I nodded. "You see, this guy in front of you is a skilled fortune teller..." I whispered to him.

"Really?"

"Yeah! Wanna test me?" I smugly challenged him. I know he would most likely ask about himself someday...

"Hmmm..." He stared at the sky for a moment thinking of anything he would like to ask me about. "What will be the name of my younger brother?"

"Piece of cake..., It's Milluki Zoldyck!"

"Pfft..." He scoffed. "Cheater. You knew about it because you talked to mom last night. She prolly have mentioned about him while talking to you.!"

"No she didn't mention anything about him..." I shook my head, still confident about my answer. "C'mon you can ask me more...!"

"I'm thinking okay? Hmmm... Ah! How many siblings would I have someday? And which of them will be my favorite?"

Of all the questions, why that? It made me feel awkward thinking of what lie should I come up with to tell him. "I'm sorry Young Master, I cannot answer anything that might affect the future..." I shook my head in denial.

"See? You're just messing up with me... You're cool but it's not an entire excuse for you to do something 'stupid'... You know my parents are gonna deal with you just in case..."

"Ooooh?! Was that a threat? I'm so scaaaared!" I tried messing up with him further. It's really fun to see him being wary and scared of me at the same time...!

Wait... was that the same feeling he feels whenever he messes up with me back then?

"You'll see! I'll beat you someday..." I heard him mutter under his breath as he finally went back to his building blocks still slightly ticked about me messing up with him.

"I will be waiting for that..." I sarcastically responded with a grin. Did he just set me as his benchmark? How cute! However, that little threat he told me right now has already happened before...

I snuck behind him while he was too busy and pinched his pale cheeks... "Awww, I feel so sad, bocchan is mad at me!"

"Don't touch me!" He shook my hands off his cheek.

"Hahahahaha!" I burst out laughing...! I can't help it! He looked so dumb! And right now he looked so ticked, he looked like he just wanted to strangle me with his little stubby hands, and rip my hair till I go bald! BUT HE CAN'T! The feeling is priceless!

He's still cranky and despite what he told me yesterday that he found me cool, he was throwing slight tantrums at the moment. To be honest, I can tell the slight difference of his behaviour last night and today. Maybe he was told by mom to be wary of me... As far as I have experienced, as a kid, whenever I tried being nice to some of our servants, she's always on my way either secretly telling them to stay away from me or vice versa... I'm half certain that this was the reason of his change in behaviour.

Or maybe he was just upset because I was making fun of him since awhile ago? Hahahaha!

"What are you laughing at?"

I tried to choke down my laughter and stopped. "I'm sorry, Illumi-bocchan... there! I stopped!"

"Do not do that again!"

"Sure! I promise! As a proof, I'll tell you something useful."

He ignored me.

"Let's have a deal. The Zoldycks don't break deals right?"

"Depends if your deal is acceptable..."

"I'll tell you one thing about your Nen, and your mom and your dad's. If I'm wrong, you can ask your dad to dispose of me. I won't resist."

"As if resisting would save you..." He shrugged. "I can't use Nen yet. And I'm not supposed to take advanced lessons. Are you making me break the rules?"

"If I'm right, you have to buy me a box of Chocorobo-kun... I'm not giving you advanced lessons... I'm just gonna tell you something about your power and your mom's and dad's... that's all..."

He narrowed his eyes at me who was smirking at him confidently for some moments before finally speaking up. "DEAL!"

"Good..." I nodded.

It feels somehow wrong that I can see myself as Hisoka or Aniki bullying me and Gon right now... Now I somehow understood why did they love doing that...

"Master Silluva and Master Zeno are Transmuters just like me... and your mom, Madame Kikyo is a Manipulator... Before I proceed, which of the two types do you think did you inherit? The Transmuter side, or the Manipulator side?"

"The Transmuter side."

"Wrong! The Manipulator side. You are a Manipulator... and you cannot change it."

He went quiet for some moments staring at his tiny, stubby hands. "I guess you're right..." He uttered. "I was always told that I was a lot like my mom..."

"Oh you're not alone... your younger brother will look a lot like your mom too. And he would grow up fat and useless without even being able to learn..." Oh wait! I should stop talking I said too much!

I found him staring at me, listening to me attentively... "What's the matter? Keep talking..."

"(cough) Well..." I fixed my collar while I cleared my throat. "Like I said a while ago, I must not say anything that might change the future... but one thing's for sure..." I placed my hand on his head and shook it. "You will be a lot stronger than me someday... fiercer, faster, stronger, smarter and more skillfull..."

He turned his back on me the moment I let go of his little head, and went back to his thing while seemingly lost in his thoughts, considering the things I told him just now.

"I'll be waiting for my box of Chocorobo-kun..." I grinned at him.

He did not respond anymore.

"Okay, that last one was a joke..." I smiled and sat besides him as I helped him place the last piece for that 'wide.. wide, rectangle' he was building...
