"My name is Alluka Zoldyck," She said so quickly it came out as only a blur but the woman no doubt, had caught the sentence in its entirety. "And I want to see my brother."

Alluka saw no reason not to tell this woman who she was, especially since she knew this woman wouldn't kill her if she was a part of the main family without explicit permission from the Silva & Zeno. In fact, despite her fear the young girl knew an opportunity when it was being presented and she took it.

"Do you know where he is?" She questioned, trying her hardest to seem like someone who was confident of her position and knew she power she could wield. "Can you take me to him?"

There was a considering expression on the old maid's face before a small smile stole across her lips.

"Young master Killua is a floor above us which you can gain access to using the staircase directly down the hall." Tsubone informed her cordially. "There are no servants on that level at the moment on the requests of the young master himself, so it should be very easy to reach and locate his quarters."

A bit surprised at the surplus of information, Alluka gave a small bow of thanks and prepared to take off.

"Ah, and young mistress?" The old woman called causing her to tense and throw a glance back. "It is a pleasure to finally meet you."

Eyes widening slightly Alluka could feel her cheeks warm at the welcoming smile and words that came from the tall figure before she ducked her head and took off down the hall.

And hearing those hearty chuckles echoing after her did not help with the heat burning in her face.

Now if only the rest of her family would welcome her like that but she doubted it.

Choosing not to stop until she reached the top of the stairs, Alluka was pleased to see and sense that there was no one here along with her. Throwing a look back down the stairs, she silently thanked Tsubone-san for her help before she yanked her hood and mask back into place.

Alluka was sure Milluki's cameras weren't anywhere on this level, especially since Tsubone told her that this was Killua's personal floor and he wouldn't appreciate something so invasive in his space. Closing her eyes she reached out with her sensors and latched onto her brother's presence, tethering them together and using said connection as a guide.

These halls were vast and she only barely managed to navigate with her eyes shut eighty percent of the time. Growing closer to where Killua was she could feel the excitement bubbling in her chest as she snapped her eyes open and took off down the corridor.

Her brother was so close that she didn't need to track him down anymore.

So many questions raced through her mind as she closed in on the door at the end of the hall and all of them were frantic.

Opening her mouth, on the verge of shouting out for her brother, it became clear to Alluka that despite what Tsubone said it wasn't just Killua who was up here.

Killua's name caught halfway in her throat as she gawked in horror at the imposing figure Zeno Zoldyck cut in the light of the hallway.

A strangled sound crawled out of her throat as she felt her muscles jump with the need to move but before her brain could even catch up to her body and decide what to do Zeno spoke.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you young one." He said with an air of amusement as Alluka's leg froze a millisecond before it could even move from its position and she forced herself to stay still.

Wanting to scream at herself - because goddammit she was so close - she instead hunched her shoulders under his stare as her eyes flickered from side to side.

This was an entirely different circumstance from Tsubone. Telling this man her identity ensured her nothing, in fact if anything it would be the same as driving a nail into her coffin!

Alluka was suffocating behind her mask and by the heavy sounds of her breathing that filled the space between them, Zeno knew it too.

Oh god she was going to die.

"Ah, so you know who I am young one?" The old man asked and seeing no other choice she nodded.

"Well it seems you have me at a disadvantage," He said with a kindly smile that made her spine tighten in fear. "for I don't have the name of our child sneak."

Blue eyes sharpened into knives and Alluka staggered back on a gasp.

"Would you mind giving this old man your introductions?"

Heart in her throat what came out of her mouth wasn't her name but what she desired the most in that moment.

"K-Killua!" She found herself shouting over to the man as her brow furrowed and her shoulders angled themselves in a parody of bravado.

"I...I came to see him and-and I'm not leaving until I...Until I do!" She spat, feeling as if every word that came out was choking her.

Zeno blinked.

"Ah, so you have helped me discern your motive but," His nen pitched and coiled around him and Alluka flinched harshly. "that does not tell me who you are."

Straightening his posture Zeno removed his hands from behind his back and she gave a cry of horror as the man in front in her disappeared and the loud sound of ripping filled the air.

Panting hard and deep as she stared at the spot Zeno had been in with wide unfocused eyes, Alluka heard the faint hum of consideration drift from her grandfather before the sound of receding footsteps echoed off the walls.

"Now that this little mystery has been solved feel free to do whatever it is you want, child." Zeno called, but despite that permission she found it impossible to move until the sensation of his aura disappeared.

Trudging blindly towards Killua's door, Alluka carelessly slammed her palms against the frame until the irritated sound of her brother's voice filtered out and into her ears.

The door flew open and a small white haired figure was filled her vision.

"I swear to chocolate Milluki if this is about your stupid cameras I broke I already told you to keep them out of here-oomf!"

Clutching with all her might at her brother Alluka stepped back from the hug and cracked a weary smile.

"Surprise Killu-nii." Was the only thing she managed to get out before the floor rushed to meet her face.
