That was the label that defined your standing in the Zoldyck family.
While compared to some of your other siblings, your strength was lacking, but you made up for it entirely in skill and personality.
You are the second-oldest child in the Zoldyck family, and just like your siblings, you grew up in a world of darkness.
However, you carried none of that aura. You exuded friendliness, a kind smile, and something even more sinister once that friendly facade faded.
Still, you were well-liked. Unlike the rest of your family, who barely interacted with those in the Padokea region, you entertained everyone you met, building a web of associates that always managed to come in handy.
You were the favorite of the people.
You were the favorite sibling of the two most powerful children of the Zoldyck family.
“Sis!!” Killua shouted through the west wing of the manor as he skated through the halls.
Your younger brother was back home for another one of his visits from his many adventures. You were one of the few (if not the only) people who understood why Killua decided to leave the Zoldyck Manor and respected his choice.
“Kil’! It’s been so long!” You said as you ran down the hall and embraced him in a hug.
However, you were completely oblivious to his skateboard, and the moment your arms wrapped around his, both of you immediately fell down.
“Kil’!! Gotoh told you not to skate in the halls! He just cleaned them!” You said, immediately standing up as you scolded your brother.
“Jeez, it’s not like I’m here that often for it to be a big deal anyway—“ Killua huffed as he kicked up his skateboard. “Anyway, I have to tell you about all of my adventures!”
You smiled as you followed Killua to the kitchen, where he snacked on Choco Robots as you prepared some nightshade tea.
“Yuck, I don’t know how you drink that. Even for poison, it tastes awful,” Killua said as he watched you pour the tea.
“Well, it helps with poison immunity and trains our bodies better; besides, it comes from such a pretty flower!” You replied as you sipped your drink.
You happily listened to Killua as he told you about his adventures with Gon, Alluka, and everyone else he’d met along the way. As he spoke to you, Killua realized that you reflected some of the greatest qualities he found in his friends: your kindness, your understanding, and—most importantly—Your light.
When Killua was born, you were the only person who could hold him without him crying or immediately throwing a tantrum. He was completely, if not always, by your side as he was drawn to your light.
And now he’s finally living a life that's full of light, and you couldn’t be happier for him.
However, Killua’s mood quickly shifted as a familiar dark presence entered the kitchen.
“Oh, Kil’ how nice for you to be home,” Illumi said, his eyes immediately meeting Killua’s as he entered the room.
“Yeah? Well, I was just leaving. Bye, Sis.” Killua said, glaring at Illumi as he left the kitchen.
You sighed in disappointment as Killua left the kitchen. It was rare that you ever got to see your younger brother alone, but you knew that Illumi, similarly to Killua, would follow you wherever you go.
And wherever Illumi was, Killua was sure to be far away, hence why you always enjoyed the moments you got with Killua, as for both of you, it meant a break from being trapped underneath Illumi's gaze.
“Yes Illu?” You said as you looked over to Illumi whose unblinking gaze was now fixated on you.
“I just wanted to see you. It’s not my fault he ran away. Although it means he’s smart enough to know to leave a battle he’s bound to lose. I’d never run away from you like that.” Illumi said as he played with your hair from behind you.
“You can’t keep torturing Killua like this,” You said as you finished your tea.
“Torture? That isn’t what I’m doing, and you know it. Torture is painful. Torture is cruel. Torture is only a temporary method. I teach. I’m teaching him a lesson that’ll last him a lifetime.” Illumi stated as his hand firmly gripped your shoulder.
“Teaching? Is that we’re calling it now?” You hissed as you glared at your older brother.
“I’m his older brother after all, it’s important for me to lead him in the right direction. If I didn’t love him, I wouldn’t be doing anything. He’d be dead. and you know it.” Illumi said as his grip relaxed into a gentle touch.
There was truth in Illumi’s words. As much as you hated it, you knew what he thought he was doing was love.
It was a twisted, obsessive, and controlling type of love. And when opposed, it crushed. Crushed spirit, Crushed determination, Crushed hope, and anything else that proved to be in the way of Illumi’s love.
You knew this all too well.
“Don’t worry. I let him take it out just like you asked.” Illumi said while fixing himself a cup of nightshade tea.
Hearing that put you at ease. That needle, that hold Illumi had on Killua was loosened, and hopefully those new friends of his, the ones he seemed so happy about, the ones he told you about, would help rebuild everything Illumi had crushed.
“Just don’t forget your end of the deal.” Illumi stated as he set his tea on the table.
In exchange for letting Killua take out the needle and not reinserting another you offered to take his place at Illumi’s side.
Initially Illumi wasn’t interested in the slightest and yet something about you drew his attention almost as if your aura had its own siren call.
So, by letting his precious little brother out of his sight, his gaze was solely focused on you. His dearest little sister.
His little sister, whom he'll humor, for now.
Agree to her request to 'free' her younger brother.
Though that freedom would soon become an illusion, his love for you wouldn't.
After all, having two of his strongest younger siblings trapped in his hand would only be a further testament to how 'great' of a big brother he is.
Besides, as the favorite, it was only natural that Illumi would soon have all his focus on you.
That was the label that defined your standing in the Zoldyck family.
You served as the smallest sliver of humanity within the family
You served as the only remnant of light within the dark world you're in.
You served as the single connection between two opposing brothers.
And while your relationships with your older and younger brother differed, one thing remained the same.
Their favorite would always be you.
