Hi guys! I'm new at this writing stuff and English isn't really my first language, so I hope you'd help me work this out. I'm also new with this site so I'm really sorry if I do anything wrong. Oh yeah, if you're wondering about the genre of my story, it's a bit of mystery/action/angst/romance/fluff. In short, it's a bit of everything. Oh and it's a Hunter x Hunter fanfic focused mainly on Killua and Kurapika BUT this is NOT yaoi. I have nothing against yaoi but I don't want it to be yaoi cause I don't know how to do a story like that and I really want to make an OC. Anyway, here goes the prologue for my story. Hope you like it.

Oh yeah, Hunter x Hunter is not mine and all of their characters, though I hope they'd give me Killua. Weee, that would be so awesome. So, enough babbling from me. Haha.

Being normal would be one of the last things I can ever be. Sure, I was like any other girl if you based it on appearance, but I wasn't.

I had a different mindset. I looked at things in a very complicated and different way. No kid of their right minds would walk up to me and ask my name.

I had a certain kind of aura; a gloomy one, which made people think that I wasn't much of a sociable person. Well the truth is, I really wasn't. I couldn't care less with what other people thought of me. I had no one to give shame to. I had no family or friends to be ashamed of me. I am an orphan filled with loneliness and emptiness. I'm not cold-hearted. I just simply haven't felt being wanted before. Well, thanks to a certain girl, I felt it. However, I rarely show my emotions, but at least I was inching a step forward.

The day I felt the feeling of being wanted was actually an unusual day, kinda clique if you might ask. A certain couple was going to visit the orphanage and choose one of us to get adopted. As an eight year old kid, I had an average chance of getting adopted. According to my observing skills, kids who were younger were most likely to get adopted.

However, the couple I saw enter the huge door of the orphanage wasn't a normal one. I could see it in one glance, like I said before, I'm not normal.

The man and woman didn't look married or in love or even maybe at least attracted to each other. They didn't give off the usual sickening sweetness that couples who enter our orphanage usually have, plus they didn't wear rings in their fingers. They were kinda creepy in a certain perspective.

The woman had worn a black dress just above her knee. The dress was really elegant which looked good in her features that were elegant and graceful as well. She was as beautiful as a goddess, with a long golden hair with streaks of black. That part was a bit weird though. The man, just like the woman, was extremely handsome as well. They happened to be very young. Feature describing wasn't really enjoying so I stopped staring, like I even care about them, I'll never be able to get out of here anyway.

See, I was a really pessimistic creature, but being realistic was what I was being at that time. Who would want to adopt me, of all who were in the room right now, Why me? See? I can't even give a good enough reason.

The most peculiar part of the event was that they had a girl about three or four years older than my age with them. Why would they be adopting if they already had a child? To get a sister, perhaps?

The aura flowing from the girl was a contrast to the couple she was with. She actually felt normal and not at the same time. She was bubbly and really alive which showed in her bright green eyes. Moreover, she was dressed in really bright pastel colors. These guests are really peculiar.

I saw the man reaching for his phone. After a while, the two adults went out to see the head of the orphanage. As usual, all the other kids who wanted to get adopted went out to follow the couple. The kids didn't even mind that they weren't minding the girl who was desperately trying to get their attention.

Some of the other girls tried to befriend her but I knew better. You know, classic 'get her to like you' kind of thing.

I made my way out, too, but instead of following the couple, I made my way to the swing. This was my spot. Any kid who saw me nearing this place would just shoo away. What can I say? They find me scary.

"Mmm, not that sociable eh?" a voice behind me asked. I turned and came face to face with the girl.

"Yeah, so get lost." am I that harsh?

"Mmm, so straightforward. Haven't anyone told you that you've got to be nice to get adopted?"

"I don't want to get adopted."

"Eh?! Why is that so?"

"Simply because." what kind of response is this?

"You know, you're not making any sense."

"I know," I looked at her straightly in the eye using the 'eye' I usually use to scare others. I thought she would flinch or run away, but she didn't. So I decided to at least tell her, she could be different after all. "I'm just not sure what to expect. I'm not sure what they would expect me to do. If they want me to be nice and normal like any other kid, I can't do that. I'm not that. You get me?"

"How old are you?" that was a bit unexpected. I thought she'd go ranting about how I should handle things or stuff.

"I'm eight."

"Seriously? I thought you were fifty." That made me shot her a look.

"Just kidding. How about let's play hide and seek?"

I just stared at her for a long time. Nobody ever asked me to play before.

"O-okay."

Change Of P.O.V.

"Lady Hanako, we would be leaving quite soon." A delicate yet firm voice called out from outside the room.

"I'm coming! Just putting on my shoes!" was my reply while trying to tie the shoes I was wearing. I glanced at my reflection on the huge mirror hanging on the wall. I'm so excited! I'm finally going to have a sister, and to add up to that, I was the one to choose!

I was literally bouncing my way to the car that waited for me while being accompanied by four guards. I didn't mind that they were grumpy. All I could think of was getting a new sibling.

I greeted everyone with a good morning and smiled at them, and just as how my magic works, they smiled at me too. Even the grim guards surrounding me were also forced to smile too.

As we reached the way out, I saw two of my trusted servants dressed formally.

"Saraaaaaaah! You're so pretty," I exclaimed. "You too Hito-san! Though not really pretty since you're a boy." The two of them just chuckled at me and I laughed along.

"Not really, Lady Hanako. Shall we go now?" Sarah said.

"Yes!" I shouted while reaching for the car.

Hito-san opened the door for me and I thanked him. Hito-san and Sarah are my friends, not servants. I never considered them as servants or slaves. They shouldn't be doing this, but father insisted.

I couldn't help but sigh. Father is so protective. But at least he allowed me to have a sibling. Now, all I need to do is choose.

I had decided that I wanted a girl for a sister. I didn't want too much gap but just enough for her to give respect to me.

When we got to the orphanage, I couldn't help but jump up and down. I am a bubbly person after all.

I looked from kid to kid, eyeing them, studying them. These kids were normal. That was when I laid my eyes on her.

She was observing Sarah and Hito-san. I even noticed her eyeing their fingers. Smart kid. She might have already noticed that Sarah and Hito-san are not living together. Then, she looked at me with curiosity as if she was questioning my appearance. She was, no doubt about that.

A few moments later, Hito-san reached for his phone and checked the time, it was already late and the head of the orphanage wasn't accompanying us yet.

A while later, they went out to go to the other building where-in the office of the head of the orphanage could be located.

I wanted to get left behind so I could get to mingle with the other kids. However, they started following Sarah and Hito-san like they were entrapped in some sort of spell. Only a few girls tried to befriend me.

These kids are so desperate to get adopted. I feel sorry for them. If only I could adopt them all, they wouldn't be like this. So desperate of having a family.

I hated normality. It was just to clique and pleasant and sad and tragic at the same time. These kids were normal, nothing special about the way they perceive things. What was I expecting anyway? Not everyone gets to be like me.

Except for her, maybe.

I looked at her direction and saw her going out. Huh, maybe she's not that special after all. But I didn't know why I started to follow her. It was only then when I realized that she wasn't with the crowd of children. She walked towards a swing.

I wasn't really a think before you act or speak person so I spoke.

"Mmm, not that sociable eh?", I blurted.

"Yeah, so get lost." ouch. That stinged.

"Mmm, so straightforward. Haven't anyone told you that you've got to be nice to get adopted?" was what I managed to muster.

"I don't want to get adopted." wow. That was unexpected.

"Eh?! Why is that so?"

"Simply because." now she's just confusing me. What the heck does that supposed to mean?

"You know, you're not making any sense." I happen to reply.

"I know," she looked at me straightly in the eye using a really piercing look. "I'm just not sure what to expect. I'm not sure what they would expect me to do. If they want me to be nice and normal like any other kid, I can't do that. I'm not that. You get me?"

She sure does talk like an old woman. How old is this girl?

"How old are you?"

"I'm eight."

"Seriously? I thought you were fifty." That made her shot me a look again. I loved hyperboles.

"Just kidding. How about let's play hide and seek?"

She just stared at her for a long time like I had just grown a third head or as if my hands started turning into jelly.

"O-okay."

Third Person's P. O. V.

The two servants watched in amusement as their master hid from the little girl. They had never seen her this happy before. Their master looked complete. Nobody were this compatible with her before.

"So I'm guessing that Lady Hanako will have a new doll." The man said in a pitying tone.

"No. It's different this time. That girl's aura is completely compatible with Lady Hanako's. The girl is a tough thing. It's really hard to manipulate people like her." came the woman's reply.

"I can see it too. It's just too hard to believe, though. Their aura combined gives off a dangerous and scary feeling. So. . . So mystifying and dark, even when they're happy." the man said while eyeing the two kids play.

"You're right. Those girls are really something. I fear for them. At such a young age, these abilities are just too much."

Sorry for wrong grammars and spellings! I'll try to edit this as soon as I get enough sleep. So, I hope you liked it. Please give me suggestions or reviews. I would really like to improve in being an author. If you're confused, just ask. Also, I would try to update this as soon as possible.
