Haruki was like any regular old assassin. They would get a job they'd take care of it done. That's it. Until one day everything changed.
Haruki's alarm clock rang. They groaned and got out of bed. Until they noticed a flower petal on their bed. They couldn't recognize the type of flower. They also had a slight cough. But it wasn't anything they couldn't walk off. So, they went on, as usual, they changed into their usual clothes. a tight-fitted dark red crop top and low-waisted cyan yoga pants. They brushed their long grey hair and went to greet their sister. Machiko was only 16 but incredibly skilled. She truly admired Haruki, she wanted to be like them.
'Good morning Ruki!!' She said to them, she had a big smile on her face.
'Mornin Mach! They said as they went to get some coffee. Machiko spoke again.
Curious about the well-being of their sibling.
'Slept like shit, to be honest here.'
Machiko said with concern.
'Were they the memories?'
The memories Machiko is talking about are about the amount of torture and training they went through they were the first child after all. So, their training was the most intense.
'Yeah, it was that again.'
Machiko was the second and last child their parents would have. So, she didn't receive as bad of training and torture as their older sibling.
'Did we get any clients today, Mach?'
They took a sip out of their coffee, but while taking a sip they saw the same flower petal as the one in her bed.
They said with some shock in their voice. Haruki never shows emotion, so this was a surprise for their sister.
'Yea' They cough a little.
'Ruki are you sure you’re ok?'
'Yeah, Mach I'll be fine'
They repeat the question.
So, did we get any clients?
“We did, the client is anonymous, but they want us to kill Illumi Zoldyck
Haruki looked at their sister confused
“Illumi Zoldyck? Who the fuck would ask us to kill one of, if not the most famous assassin? The dude is a Zoldyck, But I’ll gladly take him out, It’s a shit ton of money.”
“You two truly have a lotta bad blood huh?”
Machiko said, letting out a small giggle
Haruki hated Illumi with a burning passion, People see Haruki as the poor man’s Illumi, even though they’ve been in the business longer than he has, But Haruki has accepted that title.
“So, when are we setting out?”
“Who’s we? You’re staying here.”
“Machiko I am not staying here. This is dangerous that monster could kill you easily”
Machiko looks at the ground and puts her hands on Haruki’s scarred shoulders
She says with a serious yet light-hearted tone
“Well then, go get ready’’
Machiko agreed and went to get her things. Haruki was still concerned, even though their sister was great at her job and has a couple of kills under her belt, she's still young and could make very stupid mistakes.
“Haruuu!’’ Machiko shouts from the other room, snapping Haruki out of their thoughts. Machiko has tied her into 2 messy buns to the sides of her head.
“She looks so cute,” Haruki thinks with a slight smile on their face. Haruki went up to their sister and put their hand on her brown-skinned shoulder.
“Good luck Mach also don’t forget the head,” they said sort of smugly, Machiko rolled her eyes.
“Haru I always remember the head more than you.”
It was a Yamazaki tradition to cut the head of their target, as a sort of twisted trophy.
“It's still good to remind ya”
‘’If ya think ya have to remind me, I’ll make sure to collect the head on this one” She crossed her arms in a playful matter.
“I hope I don’t lose her.” Haruki thought. Suddenly Haruki coughed up the same flower petals that they saw in their coffee and bed, along with blood. Machiko was there even more concerned than she was before.
“Haruki, we need to get help right- “
“No,” Haruki said interrupting their younger sister.
Haruki slightly gasping for air.
“N-No, I-I’ll be fine, just go on your mission.”
Machiko was concerned for them, but she knew Haruki could take care of themselves.
“I will ‘Chiko” Machiko nods and walks out the door.
--------------------------------
Machiko walks out and Haruki sees their hand covered in blood and those weird flower petals. Haruki is shaken up not knowing that the flower petals came from their body.
Haruki is gasping for air; they could barely breathe.
But they could deal with it. They washed off the blood and flower petals of their hands seeing it all go down the drain also noticing more strange buds on their skin, but they paid no attention to it.
Haruki went to go drink their cold coffee, perhaps it could help them get rid of this lump in their throat. They haven’t eaten at all; Haruki was the kind of person to not eat at throughout the day. They were accustomed to this ever since they were a child. Haruki put the coffee back in the microwave to heat it. It was pure black the way Haruki liked it. They drank it and it made the lump in their throat disappear.
‘Huh, I guess this does help.’
Haruki thought, they went with their coffee to their living room to find a book to read, Haruki loves reading. They picked out this crime novel. Between pages, they would take a sip of their coffee. They were so deep in their book that Haruki lost track of time. They finished reading their book and looked at the time, 12:08 pm. Machiko would’ve been back by now she’s quite quick when it comes to killing her targets.
Haruki being concerned for their sister, sneaked out of the house to check on them. They weren’t going to do anything, but just to check on her.
A couple of hours later, they arrived at the Zoldyck estate and easily opened the door. Haruki saw Machiko fighting Illumi, it looked like they had been fighting for a while. Machiko’s cute buns had been knocked down letting her long hair fall. Her beautiful brown skin was full of dirt bruises and blood. Haruki hoped Machiko could beat him, but she couldn’t. In one second Illumi killed Machiko. Swiftly. With no remorse.
“MACHIKOOOOO!!!!!” Haruki yelled, tears filling their dark green emotionless eyes.
Illumi heard them and started running towards them, bloodlust oozing from his body. Haruki just ran away still crying over the loss of their 16-year-old sister. The person they’ve known since a child is gone forever thanks to that monster.
Haruki eventually made it to their house; they were hyperventilating and sobbing their eyes out. Coughing out blood and flower petals didn’t help.
It had been 5 months since Machiko’s death Haruki isn’t doing very well. They’ve been wearing the same clothes they’ve worn since her death. Their eyes are sunken in, and they look like a skeleton, they haven’t eaten anything since her death. Their eyes puffed and red from too much crying. Their once perfect long gray hair was now choppy, Haruki only had 2 friends that they didn’t consider friends, more like acquaintances. Their names are Kitsune Hashiriya and Chaos Santiago. Chaos was an assassin and Hashiriya was a hunter. They had known each other since the Hunter Exam where they also met some kid with a fishing rod and his white-haired friend. They found them odd but somewhat cute at the same time, Haruki wished they could’ve had a friendship. Haruki’s ‘friends’ were quite concerned for them, so they decided to give them a visit. Kitsune tried to call them beforehand, but they didn't answer, Chaos also tried to call them, Haruki has known Chaos for longer than Kitsune has, still no answer. They keep trying to call them but no response. They tried to message them but no responses. They messaged Kitsune just in case he had any information on Haruki wellbeing, He said he didn’t know anything about them at the moment.
