The Splintering

And by good impression, you meant stand quietly and awkwardly as Chrollo had each of his Troupe members give their birthday and blood type so that he could predict their futures. So far, everything was coming up with death, despair and betrayal. Not a great start.

"We can all leave by tonight then, go back to Meteor City. Does anyone have any fortune that recommends otherwise?"

"Danchou~ I believe my fortune insists that we stay~"  Hisoka relayed as Chrollo read it outloud.

"Hmm. Alright. We'll have to break into groups." He handed the fortune back to Hisoka. "Kortopi, Nobunaga, Pakunoda, Machi and Shizuku, you'll come with me. I already know where they chain user must be. Hisoka, Bonolenov, Phinks, Feitan, and Franklin. Stay here for now. Wait for more orders."

"Danchou~ What about your little snack over there?" Hisoka pointed towards you. "Can anyone eat her?"

"Don't touch her." He looked at the clown and back at you. He had thought it would be safer for you to stay at the base, but now... Now he wasn't so sure. You had on jeans and a plain tank top on. Not particularly sexy, but everything on you was hot to him. "I'll take her with me. Her ability could be useful."

Your ears perked up. You were happy to go with him, and the group that was coming also was very comfortable for you-- almost all deadly women. And Machi especially, you got on with.

Chrollo held his head, pounding from the lack of drugs, but he didn't want to take anything at the moment. He needed to be sharp, without an impending comedown. But he couldn't work very well with this pain.

You noticed and wished you could do something for him, but he was ignoring you. Purposefully, you thought. If he wasn't dominating you, it probably wasn't the greatest look for the boss to show affection to a stranger.

"Alright then, everyone begin." He commanded as he began taking massive strides out of the building. You watched as Pakunoda, Shizuku, Nobunaga and Machi began to follow him, forgetting that you were also supposed to follow him.

About ten steps later, Chrollo paused, sighed and shot you an annoyed look over his shoulder.

You gave him a look of surprise in response. Why was he so annoyed? It seemed like overkill.

"Oh dearest Queen of Death, would you please honor us with your presence on this quest?" He rolled his eyes massively, causing some of the Troupe to chuckle.

"Only if you, my knight in shining armor, promise to protect me to your best ability." You quipped back quickly as you half-jogged over to the splinter group, the Troupe not daring to laugh at this.

Chrollo's face quickly became red and he looked forward.

"Christ, you're awful." He mumbled as he shook his head and continued walking.

You on the other hand, were smiling. That's what he deserved after all! As you walked near him, Machi elbowed you and gave you the tiniest of smiles, acknowledging your humor. She was certainly going to miss you just a little bit when Chrollo inevitably killed you or got rid of you.
