Here is the surprise you've ALL been waiting for, hope it's heart moving, cause I know I felt moved when I wrote it~

-----------------

Back at the old base of Vince, there laid a broken ant casing. Shattered with dirt on the floor, many ants had either died or scurried off. Unfortunately, there was a spot next to it that seemed to lack a glass bottle. The inside of the base looked horrid... Their ruble was on the floor, cracks everywhere, broken ceilings, crushed furniture, and more. Just outside of the base, the scene exposed a floating bottle with an ant queen floating away. The ant seemed odd in appearance, unlike most other ant queens... On the inside, it looked as if some sort of red liquid coated the bottle. The ant had been drinking it, nearly drinking the whole spillage of it. It was once held in a separate container inside of the glass bottle, though it had broken and spilled all over on the inside.

It took hours...for the ant to clean it up, by drinking it; by the time the bottle had gotten carried away by the ocean's current, it met with another piece of land just outside of N.G.L. The glass confinement had shattered once it ran into some rocks, making an exit for the small critter. There she was, the tiny little creature making her way out of the bottle and onto the surface, soon to carry on Vince's work unknowingly...

------------------

"Oneeee-chan.~" Rui's voice whispered. She was leaning over her twin, hands clasped in front and pressed against her legs. She was smiling cutely and watched her sister sleep. Seeing her stir, she tried again but made her voice a bit louder. "Ooo-neeeee-chaaaaan.~" she rose her whisper, keeping her smiling expression and posture. Nothing...thus she tried again, with a much louder tone. "ONEEEEEE-CHAAAAAAAAAAN!" she yelled, making her twin jolt up in her spot.

"MY MUFFINS!" Ruby screamed out, looking terrified and desperate. She blinked and looked around, soon coming to a realization... "Ruuuuiiiiii...~" She glared at her twin but it was short-lived considering... Rui just tackled her back down.

"COME ON SIS, TODAY'S THE DAY!!!" The bug twin shouted, whilst giggling up a storm. "Besides! We have a few visitors!" Those words made Ruby twitch... Seeing how she did though, her twin got up and looked at her questionably.

"Who...?" She asked, fixing a couple of her wings and brushing them off.

"Sikiyona, Shifter, Neon...oh and of course Illumi and I!~ Siki is just outside of this room and Shifter is with Nomu, in the kitchen with Hisoka!" She answered, eyes shutting in the process. She got off her twin's bed, giggling and watching her get up.

"What about...Servine...?" That question caught Rui's attention fully, making her change expressions and appear depressed. She lowered her head, shook it, and shut her eyes once more.

"He's alive again but...he told me he was sorry and didn't feel like he had the right to face us..." she replied mournfully, only to have Siki come in and plant a hand on her shoulder.

"No Rui, I have asked him to visit..." the frosted woman spoke with her monotonous voice. Though she would usually look blank in the face, much like a robot..however, she looked different now. Her face had a tiny...and I mean a tiny! bit more color to it. She looked more alive than she usually did.

"Good... I wanted to speak to him anyway..." Ruby mentioned, soon stepping to her twin's side and passing her. "Where is he?" Asking, she held a stern feature about her.

"Why, I'm right here.~" The said snake spoke and walked through the door with no wrappings around his head. His blind, white eyes were narrowed and looked in her direction. "Sweet Siki forced me to come and visit... I refused, cause I felt like I didn't deserve the ri-" He was about to finish with obvious mourn in his blind eyes until he got interrupted.

"It wasn't your fault... You can't go blaming yourself, for Vince's doings... He betrayed, used, and hurt everyone... There isn't a thing, that is your fault," She strongly answered, giving him the most strict glare ever. Though it soon softened and she smiled to herself, moving her hawk gaze to the floor. "I'm happy...to just...finally meet another family member... What's your real name, so I can call you by that instead?" She asked, her features now holding curiosity.

"After Vince had given back my memories... I recall it being, Akio Kowaza..." He answered, with pain evident in his muscly tone. Ruby just stared at his eyes not once taking note of his expressionless feature. Crossing her arms, she contemplated on his words.

"Akio...Kowaza..." She repeated, making the said snake nod. Her eyes shut and she stood there near her twin, then opened them once more. "If I had known you were my grandfather... I would've said something before, to prevent you from any pain. I'm sorry..." Her eyes looked down, gazing at her feet as regret filled her mind Though there was one thing she was not expecting... Akio wrapped his arms around her and trembled slightly. That surprised her, making her gaze widen from contact.

"Don't be... I'm just happy that my grandchildren are safe now... Your father was a great man and your mother...she....was a beautiful woman. You seem to have taken most of your mother's side and Rui has your father's features.~" He mumbled quietly, feeling relief rush over him like waves of water. "My twin grandbabies, I thought I'd never been able live to see the day...to see you in person..." He let go, stepped back, and bowed then rose to a full stand, Ruby looked upset at his words. "You see... I died from a heart attack at the news that my son had gotten killed... I died...before my daughter-in-law gave birth to you..." As if on cue, Illumi stepped in from behind and passed up the snake. He stood behind Rui with his blank features but felt protective of her despite his expressionless face.

Rui blinked cutely at the snake and tilted her head. "You killed our mother and kidnapped us but...it wasn't your fault. I'm just happy right now... My sister and I aren't the only ones left in our family!~" she happily exclaimed with joyful tears streaming down her cheeks. A warm smile spread across her lips when she closed her eyes.

Akio was surprised at her words and seeing Ruby nod in agreement, made him almost want to cry too. "Why didn't you transform too...?" Ruby asked, keeping her hawk gaze upon the man. The said snake didn't even peer up at her and didn't even stir from his spot.

"Because... I haven't found out how yet, I haven't learned the ability," He replied quietly, making the hawk twin shift in her stance.

"I see..." That was all she said, before facing Rui. "Well...let's go then, I'm sure Hisoka's waiting," She then turned again and walked out of the room, leaving Rui, Illumi, and Akio alone.

"H-Ha..." The bug twin blinked as she viewed her sister leaving. She too walked past her grandfather only to place a hand on his shoulder for reassurance. "Gomene, Ojii-san..." she whispered with a pause in her step, soon continuing on with Illumi following suit.

After a bit, Akio stood and kept his head low. I will make it up to you girls...in any way, I can. I don't want any more pain given to you so I'll do everything in my power to prevent such tragedies...~ I got word from Illumi, that he and Hisoka plan on surprising my grandbabies at the end of their double date. They even asked for my permission if they could... I approved, of course, I want them to be happy and have a supportive relative; since I am...the only one left aside from them.~ He mentally mused then faced the doorway and left.

~~~Later~~~

The circus... One of the many places people go to watch others perform amazing tricks and stunts. The music resonated from the tent, cheers echoed and many sounds came from inside, indicating that a show was underway. The scene gradually moved towards the said tent, soon showing an arena full of stuntmen, clowns, acrobatic people, a lion tamer, elephant rider, and more. In the crowd of people that cheered on the sidelines, watching the show, sat the four who were on their double-date.

The twins sat by each other, Hisoka on Ruby's other side and Illumi on Rui's side. The hawk twin didn't appear all that fascinated by the animals but more fixated on the acrobatics. Her twin was amazed, she gawked at the animals and tried so hard not to jump in the arena herself to pet them. She was leaning on the edge, hands on top of the guard rails and her upper body over it.

Illumi kept watching her from the corner of his eyes, finding her more amusing than the circus... Hisoka was watching the lion in the arena, then soon moved his eyes to view his woman...having....odd thoughts, who's to say what that joker's thinking... The crowd cheered loudly, giving them a round of applause to the performers.

"SUGOOOOOI! SUGOI-SUGOI-SUGOOI! Onee-chan, can we play out there?! PLEEEASE?!" She asked excitedly, now facing Ruby with a gleefully open mouth.

"No..." That was all the hawk woman said and didn't even look her twin's way. That only made Rui pout, puff her cheeks out, and narrow her bug gaze.

"Why not...?!~" She whined, acting like her childish self. Ruby scoffed at her attempt when she looked over and saw her behavior.

"Because I don't need you getting in trouble...!" A strict answer came from her and she looked back over to the acrobatic performers right after; her ears caught Hisoka's voice, sounding as if he was teasing her...

"Oh, my dear birdie... When art thee going to smile?~ Or grace me with thine lips and express gratitude?~" He inched close to her ear, a faint flush on his cheeks and a smirk plastered; he was enjoying himself... Seeing her face turn bright red, she still kept that stoic expression of hers. Victory.~ He mused in his head and squinted his eyes from accomplishment.

"When the sun kissith' the land, shall I grant thy wish...~" she smirked, red face and all whilst playing along with him. He smiled more, finding it amusing that she was playing along. She has never done it before and he certainly doesn't regret hearing it either... This is kind of fun... Admitting to herself, it was sort of fun playing along with her joker like this.

"Hooooo...?~" He hummed, then slowly made his way to her feathered earlobe, smirking even more. "I shall be awaiting, your word...~" He replied seductively, making her flare-up in embarrassment and widen her eyes. Her smirk dropped once she heard him and felt his warm breath on her ear.

"ALL RIGHT EVERYONE! ALL WE NEED IS A VOLUNTEER! LET'S SEE WHO HAS WHAT IT TAKES, TO STAND UP AGAINST A FLURRY OF KNIVES COATED WITH NEN!" A man in the middle of the arena shouted confidently, watching as a single spotlight strolled across the audience. Seeing the four sitting in the crowd, the light beamed down onto Illumi and sat there. "WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?! FOUR OF OUR WAR HEROES HAD DECIDED TO VISIT TODAY! LET'S GIVE THEM A SPECIAL APPLAUSE FOR THEIR HEROISM!" Everyone cheered at them, making the twins freeze. Illumi and Hisoka both just sat there unaffected, the same cannot be said for the girls though... Rui hid her face and blushed, while her sister looked off to the side and turned even more red than what she was before.

"WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE THE SPOTLIGHT CHOSE THIS YOUNG, BLACK-HAIRED MAN! COME ON DOWN AND PROVE TO THEM OF YOUR COURAGE!" he exclaimed with enthusiasm, catching the assassin's attention.

"Illumi-kun, do it! Please?!" Rui excitedly rose to her feet and faced the said man. Seeing him nod, she squealed and cooed over his expressionless self.

"Is this young lady, your woman?" The arena man asked, walking close to the edge of the crowd, and then rose his mic to Illumi. He looked at the bug twin, then back over to the raven-haired man.

"Yes..." He simply answered, no change in his features as usual.

"Well then, why not show off for her and show her your bravery?" he asked with confidence in his voice, making the said man nod and jump down. No hesitation evident when he jumped over the railing and into the arena. The audience went wild, after recognizing who he was. "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BEHOLD! A MEMBER OF THE RENOWNED ASSASSIN FAMILY!" They cheered, watching Illumi make his way over in front of a rounded target. White and red spirals were plastered on the target, having Illumi stand in the middle. Though what was unexpected, the target was on the ground and the knife shooter was dangling above him.

Illumi looked up, viewing the nen-knife thrower, and watched in case he failed to successfully perform his act. The thrower was hanging upside down on a swing, his head facing straight at the target, and held four knives in both hands.

"ARE YOU READY, FOLKS?!" The audience cheered, shouting for the Zoldyck man. "ALRIGHT, ON THE COUNT OF THREE! 1!-" He started, the scene changing from him to Rui, who had fascination in her wavering bug eyes. "2!-" He began, the scene switched to show Ruby and Hisoka watching in curiosity. "3!" he finished. As if on cue, all eight of those knives descended and landed all around Illumi; only one knife managed to slice off a strand of his hair and barely miss him... He knew one of those were going to somehow touch him, considering the thrower held one of his knives a certain way. He had paid attention to the hanging man and how he held them, calculating a possible screw up...and his last one at that... hint-hint.

His black eyes followed his single strand, as it fell down past his face. He is lucky that did not scathe me... If he had, then his performance would have been his last... He mentally noted, soon hearing the crowd go wild at the display.

"WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT?! HE SURVIVED THE AERIAL ATTACK WITH NO SIGN OF CARE AT ALL! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY IT WAS! NOT EVEN A SCRATCH ON HIM!" They continued to cheer, but the star of the show at the moment...was too caught up in his own thoughts. He was contemplating the many punishments he would have given the thrower if he had missed and cut him. Turning, pacing toward a squealing Rui, the arena man planted a hand on his shoulder and smiled before he passed him. "Thank you, sir, for your cooperation! How did you feel right at that moment when he threw those knives?!" He asked in such an enthusiatic voice, making the audience grow quiet and await an answer.

It was silent, a long pause issued throughout the atmosphere. He didn't even look his way, though replied darkly before continuing on towards Rui. "He sliced off a strand of my hair... If he hadn't missed...tonight's night would have been his last..." That was all he said and it was enough to make everyone quiet at his response as they watched the assassin carry on.

"LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR THE FAMOUS ASSASSIN FAMILY MEMBER! TRULY LIVING UP TO HIS FAMILY'S REPUTATION!" He announced, trying to shake off the dark and creepy atmosphere Illumi left behind. They cheered once more, much to their ignorance of the honesty in the black-haired man's words. Rui viewed him, watched him leap over the railing, and sit back down next to her.

"You were so cool, Illumi-kuuun!~" She cooed and wrapped her arms around his closest arm. Giggling up a storm, a cute smile formed, and had closed her eyes. It took a bit but finally...his cheeks faintly flushed at her touch.

"NOW, WHY DON'T WE HAVE ANOTHER OF OUR HEROES TO VOLUNTEER IN THIS NEXT ACT?!" The spotlight descended upon Hisoka, making the said joker to look up at the light and smirk.

"I will be right back, Ruby gem.~ It's not fair that Illumi got to show off in front of your twin.~" He teased with a playful wink, before fully standing up. Ruby flushed once more, averting her gaze away from him. Like before, everyone cheered and watched the joker make his way over to the announcer.

Ruby rolled her eyes to the corners at seeing her lover walk toward the middle. "Baka..." Muttering under her breath, she couldn't stop the blush that painted her face.

"Hello sir, what might your name be?!" He asked the joker, raising his mic soon after. Hisoka leaned into the mic, moved his golden gaze towards Ruby, and kept his signature smirk.

"Hisoka...~" He replied, not once averting his eyes from hers and already saw how victorious he was.

"Hisoka, from the heaven's arena! WHAT A SURPRISE FOLKS, IT APPEARS WE HAVE MORE THAN JUST ONE WELL KNOWN STAR HERE TONIGHT! LET'S ALL GIVE HIM A WARM WELCOME!" They all cheered once more, delighted to see one of the Heaven's arena's famous fighters. Hisoka stood straight and faced the announcer, not once dropping his signature grin. "ALRIGHT, LET'S SEE YOU TRY AND HIT ALL OF THESE SOFT BALLS THAT COME AT YOU, WHILE STANDING ON A TIGHT ROPE! This will be sure to impress your, Lady friend!~" He shouted, quoting lady friend as if to hide the real meaning behind it. He nodded, glanced towards Ruby, and looked forward once more. The joker walked over to the ladder, climbed it, waltzed across the tight rope, and stood on it... As if it was the easiest thing in the world. Being in high heels, you'd think it'd be difficult...

He looked down and saw a wide swimming pool below him. With an idea striking him, he grinned mischievously and chuckled. "On the count of three! 1!-" The arena man started, with the scene showing the joker. "2!-" he said next, the scene now showed the ball thrower holding his ammo. Ruby quirked a brow at Hisoka, questioning what he had up his sleeve. Cause he would only smirk like that, if he was up to something... "3!" The thrower rapidly tossed the softballs only to have Hisoka hit every one of them easily. Seeing the last ball come at him, he purposefully let it hit him and made it look like it was a hard one. He jerked himself backward, pretending to get badly hurt and fall into the pool with a grin.

"IT LOOKS LIKE THE LAST ONE GOT HIM!" The crowd went quiet for a moment, then...they all fell backward once they saw him rise up halfway, from the water. His hair was soaked and dangled down past his face, his shirt was wet and nearly see-through, his pants were soaked too but didn't show anything. He posed, sparkles behind him, and his eyes shut.

"Mmmmm...~" He opened one eye, looked over at Ruby, and saw her widened eyes. She didn't understand how much deeper her blush could get...but..it did, it got deeper. His symbols that painted his cheeks, all had been washed off from the water. Success.~ He mentally cheered, smirking her way playfully and not breaking eye contact.

Many females in the crowd blushed, soon everyone clapped and laughed at his silliness. SO THAT, WAS WHAT HE WAS PLANNING! Ruby spoke in her head, one of her eyes twitched at his attempt and watched him leave the pool.

"Well sir, do you have anything you would like to say, before leaving?" The announcer asked, moving the mic to the joker's lips.

"Of course...~ That last ball...was all...an act," He replied smoothly, stringing his bangs in between his fingers and brushing them back, over his head dramatically.

"AND THERE YOU HAVE IT! THE LAST BALL HITTING HIM, WAS MERELY AN ACT TO PULL OFF THAT STUNT! AROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE HEAVEN'S ARENA FIGHTER AND WAR VETERAN!" They all shouted again, some laughing due to his attempt to show off and some roaring out his name in excitement. Some guy ran up to him and handed him a towel, gesturing for him to dry off. The joker thanked him and took it, drying himself quickly before heading back to Ruby.

In a flash, he vanished and reappeared right next to her flustered state. He looked at her, leaned his elbow on the railing, and rested the side of his head in his palm. She couldn't look at him, she has never seen him with his hair down and makeup off. She flushed madly now, feeling him this close made her heart pound. She tried keeping her stern feature but her strict hawk gaze said it all...she liked what she saw, regardless of how much she denied it.

~~~Later~~~

Everyone was at a karaoke place now and in a private room, for all four of them to be in. A single table in between a T.V screen and a couch were littered with plates and small snacks of food. Many songs were listed on the screen and both twins stood there looking around. "Nee-chan?" Rui asked, moving her attention to her twin who looked back at her questionably.

"Y-yeah...?" She asked in reply, her eyes wavering slightly from the nervousness in her stomach.

"I haven't sung in a long time... Remember when you and I used to sing together when we were in SGSF?" she questioned, still facing her twin. Seeing her nod, she shyly looked away and viewed the screen. "Do you think we could...sing together again? Though none of these songs I know of, I'm sure we can still pull it off!" She pumped a fist and formed a confident face. Hisoka laughed a bit behind her, making both girls look over to the said man. "What is it?" she asked, blinking in confusion.

"It would be lovely to hear my birdie sing.~ Illumi, aren't you the least bit curious about Rui's voice?" Hisoka asked, only earning a silent nod from the assassin. "Then that makes both of us.~" An eager tone left his lips then faced the twins, more preferably Ruby. "Go ahead, I want to hear your melodic voice.~" He playfully winked and made her look away. She nodded none the less, clenched her fists, and turned to face the screen.

"T-this one...seems good..." she said through a stuttering breath, with her finger pointing to a song. It was Stand your ground by within temptation.

https://youtu.be/aZXMaejdDXo

It seemed foreign to her but, she knew she could do it if she listened to it first, then sung along on the second attempt; unfortunately, she wasn't going to be granted that option...

"Hai-haaaaai!" She picked up the remote, the mic, and pressed play. Both girls held the mic up to their mouths while Ruby took a deep breath and drowned out her surroundings so she could sing. She had stage fright for sure but that didn't mean she couldn't control it. Hisoka and Illumi sat on the couch, the joker leaned forward and was eager to hear...while the assassin's attention was on Rui.

(This is a special song, so this one will be the only one that's real descriptive :D )

It started and once the drums picked up, Ruby tapped her feet and held her eyes closed. Rui kept giggling and watching the screen, it was Ruby to sing first. She was actually quite good. Once she got done singing her part, which was, If I don't make it, someone else will...stand my ground. She sang with her eyes shut, feeling the emotion in the song. It was Rui's turn, though, despite the voice tone difference, she managed to sound pretty good too. She faced Illumi, inching close to him with each lyric holding its true meaning. Stopping at the spot where it said, If I don't make it, someone else will...stand my ground. It was Ruby's turn again, picking up the other lines easily off the screen. At the soft part, she really did sound like an angel in Hisoka's ears.

Rui's turn came up after her sister said, If I don't make it, someone else will- and began her lines; ending the song with, Stand my ground. Hisoka clapped at Ruby, smiling with a faint flush dusted. Illumi looked unfazed but his aura read fascination.

The said joker stood up, walked over to Ruby, and took the mic from her. "It's my turn, Ruby gem.~" Her face flushed at the thought of him singing, though nodded and walked toward the couch with Rui. Her twin sat next to the assassin, snuggling up to his side and humming cutely. Many hearts formed and popped up above her head, dreamily.

Hisoka twirled the mic with one hand skillfully to show off. He pressed play on a different song, Getting away with murder by paparoach, and begun singing along.

https://youtu.be/EUDgJ_D0Fxg

He seemed to know the song so well, to where he didn't even need to look at the screen. His voice was a lot lighter and muscly compared to the original singer. He copied the rhythm of the singer but used his own voice instead of trying to match it with the song's voice. Once his song was over, he stopped in midst of a pose and had his eyes shut, showing his good side. Ruby held wide eyes, amazed at how accurate he was. Thinking about his choice of song, she questioned him mentally and thought about how she really did need to save him...

He looked over to Ruby with one eye peeking open, smirking at her shocked state. Once again...success.~ He victoriously sang in his head, feeling accomplished once again by impressing her. Walking over to her, he sat down next to her and handed Illumi the mic. "It's your turn.~" He mused, having Illumi take a stand and the mic, then pace toward the screen. He picked up the remote, pressed play on a song...

(Sorry I couldn't find a suitable song for him... I looked for a while via youtube but couldn't find a suitable one... SOOO!~) The moment he started to sing, his monotonous voice changed and went along perfectly with the song's voice! What was shocking though...was the fact that it was a woman singing and he sounded almost like her. Ruby was astonished at the feminine voice of his, while Rui...kept cooing at his amazing vocal cords. She loved every inch of him, even his soft singing. Once he was done, she tackled him to the ground and giggled up a storm. To put it simply, he chose an opera singer and hit the high notes...

He faintly blushed at the contact, staring blankly at the ceiling while being flat on his back. "You were so amazing! EEEEEEEEEE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" She cupped her cheeks after getting off of him, hearts fluttered above her head and a kitten mouth formed.

Noticing Hisoka taking a stand, he watched him walk over and take the mic from him. "Ruby gem!~ Let's sing together, I would love to sing with the beautiful singing bird.~" Speaking to his lover with his eyes closed and pointed to her with the mic, the mic hung just barely out of his grasp.

"Alright..." She sighed in midst of her reply, shutting her eyes too and smiling a bit. She walked next to him, Rui and Illumi sat back down then Hisoka clicked on a song that was quite unexpected. It said, Spellbound by Lacuna Coil. In the beginning, it said male above all the lyrics, indicating that it was Hisoka that needed to start first.

https://youtu.be/334rfdY6M5Q

He began, making dramatic movements with the song. Inch by inch, he stepped towards Ruby, making quick winks and flirtatious gestures. He was getting every single lyric down pat, without even looking at the screen again... He must know a lot of songs by heart...huh. Ruby mentally stated, gazing at the said man with red dusting her cheeks.

It was Ruby's turn to sing, stepping closer and closer at the beginning of her lines. He smiled at her attempt to express the emotion from the song, finding it rather suiting for her. Throwing her hands in the air a bit, as if to exaggerated then wiggling her finger from side to side at the mention You cannot have this control on me~.

That line made Hisoka smirk more and followed along, leaning over with temptation gestures here and there. When the instrumental part kicked in, Hisoka twirled her around and danced with her swiftly, matching the beat. With Ruby finishing the song at, I will break the spell you put on me!, Rui cheered and clapped her heart away at their performance. They were quite good together, that feeling...that emotion she expressed... It felt good to her and the joker saw it. Seeing it, he smiled and kissed her forehead. His action made her face go red then made her turn away and scowl...but soon changed to a small smile.

"Illumi-kuuuun!" She jumped out of her seat, gaining everyone's attention. "ONE MORE SONG, ONE MORE SONG!! I WANNA SING A SONG FOR YOU!" She began clapping out of glee, squealing, and running up to the screen.

Ruby nodded with a faint smile, handing her the mic. Her twin grabbed it, scrolled through the list, and picked another out. This one was Japanese, one she could follow along easily. Last Smile-Flaming june, (It's on youtube, very pretty and soft just like her voice~).

https://youtu.be/RCki_tSj-us

Once she began, Illumi perked up just a fraction and leaned in just slightly. Ruby blinked at her singing and watched her face the lyrics. Her voice was soft...sweet... Unbeknownst to everyone else, for once, Illumi smiled just by a hair. He actually liked it, it made him feel odd but regardless he ignored it and continued listening. The song lasted for a good six minutes but the entire time, it was sweet to hear. Ruby being Japanese, knew exactly what she was singing, it was so heart moving. The lyrics were heart moving and so was her soft voice.

When her song was done, all three of them clapped and Illumi walked up to her. Out of the blue, he hugged her...HUGGED HER! In her ear, what seemed highly impossible for him in the past...actually happened during this moment... "Doumo arigatogozaimasu... Rui-chan..." He SPOKE in Japanese for her, stunning her in place, and took that opportunity to kiss her.

A hand got placed on Illumi's shoulder, making him break the kiss and peek over it. Rui's face was ten shades of red...if that was even possible. "Yes...?" He blankly asked, gluing his black eyes to Hisoka's. He stared back, nodded, and gestured his head outside...secrecy.~ Illumi nodded, let go, and followed after Hisoka who left the room. The girls followed, of course, wondering where on earth they were heading.

They all left the building, strolled through streets, paced through a camping spot, and ended up in a big park. EVERYONE WAS THERE! Sikiyona, the whole Zoldyck family, Netero, Harris, Akio Kowaza, Neon...who was giggling and blushing next to Milluki... The Zodiac members in the council stood behind the Chairman, with almost everyone smiling. They all acted as if they were invited to something and knew what was going on.

Ruby quirked a brow, Rui laughed cutely and waved at Sikiyona, Neon, and everyone else. Hisoka and Illumi both stopped simultaneously as if they have rehearsed it before... Stopping, both twins rammed into their lover's back, then looked up to view them. "What's wrong, Hisoka...?" Ruby asked with both her and her twin's heads facing their lover's backs.

Both guys turned, kneeled down, pulled out a small square that had black fluff on it, and opened it... Inside...had...beautiful rings, sparkling from under the sun. One was colorful with mostly purple, pink, green, and white. The other...had gold, white, red and silver. They were all diamonds. "Will you marry me...?" They both said in unison, as mentioned before...they acted as if it was rehearsed. That caught the twins off guard, they were NOT expecting them to do that.

Regardless though, without a second thought... "HAAAAI!~ Yes...I will!" The twins both agreed simultaneously, Ruby looked so happy and her eyes watered up, smiling from pure glee. Rui jumped into the air and kissed Illumi deeply, making him wrap his arms around her frame and fall to the ground. Hisoka, walked up to Ruby, smoothly slipped the ring on her finger and french dipped her! He stared into her surprised eyes, smiling, and inched close to her tempting red lips. Finally kissing her, he actually gave a passionate kiss, one that she probably would never forget.

Clapping sounded off behind them, making the twins perk their heads over and notice everyone. Akio walked up to them four, bowed, and rose back up, staring at them with fatherly blind eyes. "At least... I get to see my future, GREAT grandchildren.~" He sang, making both twins heavily blush and hide. Everyone laughed at his comment aside from Illumi and Sikiyona of course.
