Hi there! I am proud to present to you a Hunter x Hunter story! X3 Actually, this is my first one. XD I got motivated to write one because my friend Yuki Candy Heart did. By the way, here's a link to her story. It's pretty good, and she'll love some reviews.

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy this! By the way, I noticed that all of the Zoldyck siblings' names have three syllables, so Ayaka will too!

And another note, do you guys like the story cover? I drew it myself. X3333 It's a picture of Ayaka, well, without her crazy costumes of course. Okay, back to the story. XD

Disclaimer: I wish I own HxH but I don't…

Enjoy!

The moment the coast was clear, Ayaka Zoldyck bolted.

She ran and ran, setting off dozen alarms as her long, silver hair flew behind her. But it was okay, because no one in her family was home. Actually, that was why she was running in the first place.

Other than her parents, nobody knew she existed.

When her father had finally convinced her mother to let her brothers know about her, she had been overjoyed. But of course, her happiness was cut short.

Illumi, the oldest, was on a job. He said that he wouldn't be home anytime soon.

Milluki, the second oldest, was at an auction. He stubbornly said that if he didn't get whatever item he was auctioning for, he wouldn't be home.

Killua, the third and the silver-haired heir, didn't even pick up the phone. But from what Ayaka had gathered, Killua didn't want anything to do with the Zoldycks ever again.

Alluka, a child who is mostly not accepted by the family, was currently away with Ayaka's father Silva.

And last but not least, Kalluto was off on his own adventure. Silva hadn't been able to get a hold of him either. And anyways, even if he did, with the rest of the brothers away, Ayaka really didn't think it mattered.

So that was precisely why Ayaka Zoldyck was running away from home.

Her feet ached slightly as she finally reached the huge stone walls. Picking up her speed she ran up the walls before jumping over it. And then Ayaka promptly crashed into a bush.

"OWWWWW!"

Belatedly, she remembered the guard dog Mike. Oh no…

Sitting up silently, she looked around. Finally, she spotted Mike. To Ayaka's intense relief, Mike was having a snooze. And since she was a Zoldyck, her presence didn't wake him up.

Picking herself up, Ayaka silently began running again.

Every heir of the family had the expected silver hair. Of course, it complicated some things since Ayaka had silver hair as well. In fact, Ayaka looked exactly like her brother Killua, albeit a few years younger. However, she also looked a bit like her brother Alluka as well, both sporting the exact cartoon hair-bands. Her father had given them to her, and Ayaka had loved them. One, because to her they looked adorable, and two, they made her feel a bit closer to her brother Alluka…

For the millionth time yet again, Ayaka wondered why she was born into the Zoldyck family. Especially with her…abilities. In fact, it was because of these abilities that had made her parents hide her for so many years. It was embarrassing and stupid.

It was embarrassing and stupid that an assassin trained to kill knew how to heal.

Raking a hand in her silver hair, Ayaka sighed. It wasn't like her parents hated her or anything. They just gave her a sufficient amount of training so that when she did meet her brothers…they wouldn't look down on her…

Really! And her parents weren't ashamed of her either! Ayaka was like Daddy's Little Girl, and also Mother's real doll.

…At least Ayaka hoped her parents weren't ashamed of her. Anyhow, healing wasn't such an un-useful ability. They prove to be vital in a battle. And it helped a lot too, since Ayaka trips a lot.

…Like now.

Tripping over, Ayaka smashes into a tree.

"Owwwwww!"

…A clumsy assassin who heals more than she kills, now what do you expect?

-(*+*)-

Ayaka leaned on the wall of a dark alley, her clothes drenched with sweat and her breathing labored. It was hours since she left the Zoldyck Estate and she had been on the run all the way. After all, she didn't dare to stop. Even if her parents tolerated Killua's behavior, they had at least sent Illumi after him. She didn't want to be around when her parents found out that she was missing.

Sitting down, Ayaka opened her bag and quickly dumped out the things she had just bought from random stores on her run there. An extra pair of clothes for a boy, a long blond wig, green contacts…what? You don't expect Ayaka to just go around looking like herself, do you? After all, it will take just one glance from one of her brothers before they pounce on her and demand just why she looks like a Zoldyck.

Quickly changing into her new set of clothes, Ayaka gently puts on the contacts. Finally, she put her silver hair into a bun before Ayaka slips on the wig.

Looking into a broken mirror, Ayaka looks at herself grimly. She looked a lot different, and since her brothers didn't expect another member of their family, she thought her disguise would pass. Now, for the finishing touches…

Putting her fake hair in a bun, Ayaka pulls on a hat with goggles. Some shorter hair and her bangs were let out, and Ayaka returned to the cracked mirror.

With some surprise, she finds herself looking at a blond boy. Hey, I bet that girls would drool over me…Although she still looks girly, with her new hair style and her clothes, she could just pass for a cute boy…Why, you ask, is Ayaka disguised as a boy?

Well, if you have ever traveled by yourself, you would have known that girls have it harder than boys. And plus, it adds more to her disguise.

Packing up her stuff, Ayaka suddenly froze as she heard some voices from around the corner. Grabbing her bag, Ayaka slowly inches to the wall before taking a peek.

She could have screamed.

Because right around the corner, her oldest brother was talking softly to a scary-looking clown.

I have to get out of here!

But before Ayaka even manages a step, a needle whizzes by her head as a joker card appeared under her neck. She froze, her eyes widening. How…

Ayaka's blood ran cold as she heard a lilting voice behind her ear.

"Don't move now, my dear.~"
