S1 Ep1: The invitation
A figure starts walking towards a large door, glances at it for a minute from hesitation 'Is he really letting these people come in? I just hope he knows what he's doing... I don't want any trouble in our town... or any other area...' they thought as they gently knocked on the door.
Nothing, did she went the wrong way? Is there anybody home? Maybe this is the wrong place...
"Young lady..." a man said from a distance, the figure glanced "Who are you?" They asked. "I'm Zebro and I look after the estate doors, I saw you walk in when I was in my booth, I hope your not planning on intruding in." He said.
They shook their head "No, I'm simply trying to deliver a few messages for anybody who lives here, I just hope that the people are here." They said holding out three envelopes in their hand. Zebro gave a small grin in relief "Well then, I'm glad your not intruding, but I'm afraid your going through the wrong door. You see, this door is where intruders would usually go in through, their is key for it, but once they pass through this door, they'll be eaten up by the guard dog who is on the other side of the door, Mike." Zebro pointed out.
"Ah, I see, then where should I go if that's just the case, beating eaten is not on my to-do list." They said joking around, "Well of course this isn't the door you should go though, the actual door your suppose to open is this one over here, the Testing Gate." He showed them.
"Testing Gate?" They looked around, "What gate?" They asked, "I'll show you if you'll follow me please, though you must be careful, Mike doesn't let his meal go that easily if you mess with him." Zebro said, "Understood." They said with a nod.
Zebro took the keys and opened the door slowly "By the way, what's your name?" He asked, "Rhy, I could see you've guessed my gender already from first glance." She said "Well it wasn't that hard to tell." He said giving a small chuckle, as the both of them pass through the door and started walking down the path to the gate, Mike laid down on the ground, his eyes glancing at hers by an instant. He let out a small growl, "Ah, you must be Mike." She said smiling, Mike held his distance, she didn't seem to be an intruder, he gave her a sniff "Don't worry Mike, she's not here to do harm." Zebro stated, Mike looked at him and then back at her, he then put his head down as a sign of "ok."
The two continued to walk "Mike didn't seem that harmful, I've seen worse before." Rhy said a bit aroused, "That was only because he didn't sense any suspicion from you, in any case you would be dead by now, and maybe without me if your able to pass him without help."
Zebro then stopped as he looked up, "?" Rhy looked up as well, they were at the gate, "This is the gate?" She asked, "Mhm, the gate would lead you to the estate in no time, but there is a twist." Zebro said. "Twist?" Rhy slaked closely to the gate and gave it a nudged, the gate didn't open, "This gate is about about as much as 200-300kg, you'd have to be strong enough to open this gate, but I'll take a while to do that." Zebro explained, a man suddenly peaked out from behind a tree, holding a cigarette "Eh? Who is this lady?" The man said, "She is here to deliver some letters to the Zoldycks." Zebro exclaimed. 'Zoldycks?' Rhy thought.
"Ah, well I hope your giving them something good to actually ready, and a good amount of strength, are you sure your able to even open this door?" He asked, "200-300kg right?" Rhy placed a hand on the door, "Zebro are you sure we should be letting her in" the man asked, "Don't worry Seaquant, I'm sure she knows what she's doing." Zebro assured. Both heard something rumble and looked at Rhy, both hands on gate, she pushed the gate slowly but affectively. As the doors were wide enough she looked back at the men "Well this sure was easy enough." She said, "B-BUT, HOW.... WHAT??" Seaquant dropped his cigar as he was lost for words, Zebro gave one last chuckle, "I see you've managed to open the door, if that's the case your free to move on from here, I've given you enough help for now." Zebro said with a smile, "Alright then, I must be off, thanks for the help though Zebro." She said as she gave a small rave and walked passed the gate into the other side, Zebro waved back, Seaquant staring at him in confusion.
"Gahh, why do I get the hardest part here..." A strange figure said in distress, "Your to stubborn Crip, too stubborn..." A older figure said, Crip looked at them, "Really? Rhy isn't in a bad situation as us right now, we're heading to some gang here!" Crip exclaimed. "Well if you want to wine about it..." The older one knocked on the door, "...Stay out here..." They said. "Your one to talk Naga...." He said, Naga gave a small punch on the knee as she was a shorter then Crip. The doors opened by there self though, I guess it's not as strange.
"Who are you two.." A figure said behind them, "C-Crap!!" Crip said silently, "Delivering a message to the leader of your group young man." Naga said, "?A message huh? Well I hope there's more than what you are saying, I don't think I'll just let you guy yet though, you two are coming with me." He said, "Fair is fair," she said 'Death is death!!' Crip thought, they walked into the building as the mans was behind him, not letting either escape easily.
"Boss, two people want to give us something!" The man said, "Just let us give you the dang message and let us go!!!" Crip yelled out, he then felt a hand on his shoulder "You really think I'll let you go that easily, I hope you don't have a death wish or anything by any means if your planning on doing something stupid..." he man said with a fierce grin as his grip tightened.
Other people looked at them "Heh, he sounds like baby if he's trying to think of some excuse." A boy with holding out a phone said, "Well what do they want to give us?" A pink haired girl asked, "Like I said earlier, a message for your leader." Naga said holding out the letter for them. "A letter?" The leader sat on a pile of crates at the top, looking down upon them as he closed the book in his hands."What does it say?" He asked. "You read it." Naga said holding the letter out to Crip, "F-F-Fine!" He shuddered as he grabbed the letter form her hand, he cleared his throat.
"Dear Phantom Troupe, Im am greatly to welcome you too Hanamashi Taika-" The leader got up and walked towards them, "Let me see..." Crip gave the letter to him. He read every word on the letter "We'll think about it, Phinks let them go." The leader commanded, "Uh...fine..." Phinks said as he let go of Crip, Crip let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you young man. We'll be on our way." Naga said as she walked passed Phinks an walked away to the door, Crip followed. "W-wait we aren't picking them up?" Crip asked quietly to Naga, "That would be an option, but I think they'll just kill the driver, even us if we were in the car..." Naga answered quietly to Crip, he blinked and gave a small sigh of relief, thankful for that not happening.
"Wait." The leader said, the two paused and turned around "W-What now?..." Crip asked nervously, "Huh, stutter much?" The pink haired girl said, Naga glanced at her "Now now Machi, let's not be rude here..." she said, everyone went in shock. "H-How do you-...." She stuttered herself. "Oh, so you know our names?" The leader asked. "Not me! I'd didn't know!" Crip answered himself, "It's true, this boy here doesn't know, but I do from first glance." The leader looked at Naga, "Go on..." he insisted, "No, I know your tricks young man, and I'm not here to play them." She said with a scowl, "Wait how are we suppose to believe you?" A large figure said.
Naga looked at them and smirked, " Chrollo Lucifer, Nobunaga Hazama, Feitan Potor, Machi Komacine, Kalluto Zoldyck, Phinks Magcub, Shalnark, Franklin Bordeau, Shizuku Murasaki, Bonolenov Ndongo, and Kortopi. Those are your names correct?" Naga asked, "Woah Naga!" Crip said with surprise. "What the hell?!" Nobunaga exclaimed, "Hm...." Feitan looked at the two with a scowl. "Very interesting, Naga, we'll be there, where is this place?" Chrollo asked, "It says it in the letter, Anyways, we'll be off." She said as she grabbed Crip's hand and began walking towards the door, "Wait who's this stutter bug?" Phinks asked, "This boys name is Crip." Naga answered, "Naga no!" He yelled as they walked out of the building.
"Well what should we do boss?" Shalnark asked, "Well, there's a chance of valuable things being in the area, if that is the case then those two made a bad decision of letting us come." Chrollo answered, "Well then what can we do to take the valuables?" Shizuku then asked, "We'll have to be sneaky about it, but once we can get there, we'll kill anybody that come our way, understood?" Chrollo said looking at the whole group, "Yes boss." They replied.
"Zebro said keep going down here right? I don't really see anything here... wait..." Rhy stopped as she saw a building bright up, "Maybe this is the place?" She said to herself, she walked up towards the building, "Huh this building seems a bit smaller than what I thought..." She then saw a figure in a flash right front of her, "?"
"I'm sorry but I can not let anybody go passed here." The figure said, holding a staff. "But I must if this is the way, I need to deliver a few messages to the Zoldycks, if this isn't the way then I'll be off to figure out which way to go, but if the is the correct way I'm suppose to go, I'll have to come in." Rhy said. "Letters? What letters?" The figure asked. "Think of it as an invitation or welcoming in a way, that's what's inside the letters." Rhy answered holding them out.
"I see... I guess you can follow me, you'll have to explain yourself though, I don't want any trouble here got it?" They said as they stepped away from them and pointed to where they'll need to go, "Ok." Rhy answered, the two walked to the door way of the building and then inside. "What is this place?" Rhy asked as she saw other people inside the room, "This is our headquarters, were butlers for the family." The figure said.
"Canary, who is this person, why did you let them in?" An older woman said, "I has messages to deliver to the Zoldycks, are they here or not?" Rhy answered herself, "Y-yeah what she said..." Canary continued, "Well then I'll give the messages myself so you'll be off more quicker." The woman said as she reached for the letters, Rhy took a step back "I'm afraid I can't do that, as much as it is easier for me, I'll do this myself." She said.
"Really? Did somebody to tell you to go and do this by yourself? Are you planing something?" The woman asked as she gave Rhy a scowl, "No, my boss didn't say I have to let somebody do this job, it my own business here so I'll do it myself rather than letting you do it." Rhy answered a bit irritated, the woman kept looking at her then sighed, "Stay here, I'll see if they'll listen to you or not." The woman said as she left the room. "She seems pretty intimidating...", "That's Tsubone, she's one of the butlers here, she is like that sometimes..." Canary said "There's probably a chance they might execute or even kick you out, you'll need to be careful here if you want to give them the letters." She continued, Rhy looked at her for a bit 'Ah... so they are pretty dangerous, Mr. Hogo was right wasn't her, I hope Crip and Mrs. Naga are ok...' Rhy thought to herself.
"Ahem..." Tsubone cleared her throat, "Madame, here's the people you've been asking to see..." she continued, and as the doors open wide open, the family appeared, death could be a possible ending to this, but Rhy knew she could survive it anyways. "Is this the person you were talking about?" An older man asked, "Yes sir.." Tsusbone answered, they all looked at Rhy, "Go on..." Canary whispered to her "Tell them what your here for."
"I'm Rhy, I'm here to give these letters to the Zoldycks family, here or not, they've received a letter." She explained holding the letters out, "Why are you offering us this?" A woman asked, "Its just and invitation, my boss wishes to see new faces in his city so he told me, my brother, and Mrs. Naga to send these letters to anyone he suggests would li to come." Rhy answered as she handed a letter to them, "All family members can go? I guess that's not so much of a bad deal, but there's work here we have to do." A tall man said, "Alright then, what should I do with these other letters then?" Rhy asked them.
Canary looked at her "Other? There's more for us?" She asked, "Yeah, are they with you?" Rhy said as she handed them to her, Canary read the names of both of them and shuddered, "O-oh... these people..." She stuttered, "What's wrong Canary?" The old man asked, Canary said nothing but handed him the letters, he read them quietly. He slowly looked up and letters to the other two "Uh you know what uhhh... we'll think about it, the whole family needs to decided don't they?" The old man said, he looked surprised in some way, the other two read in shock. "Any more letters?" Tsubone asked, Rhy shook her head, "Will you be coming your own way or shall we pick you up?" Rhy asked as she turned to leave, "We'll come on our own way." The woman said. "Alright, I'll be off." Rhy said as she walked off.
"I'll be in my room... I have to make a call or two...." The old man said as he quickly disappeared with the two letters. "You know this might be a good idea, think of how much time we'll spend with our kids, to see how much they've grown!" The woman said, "Yeah but... Killua and that...thing... we still out there... they probably won't come..." the man said in a worried tone, "We'll make them come!" The woman suggested as she walked away "K-Kiyoko...".
"Crip! Naga! Did you finish giving out your letters?" Rhy asked, glad to see them again, "Y-Yeah we did... how about you?" Crip asked himself, "Yep, it seems like we're done here... let's head back and let the boss know." Rhy answered. Naga seemed hesitant "I don't know why, but I'm not so sure if this is a good idea, it seems something bad might happen..." Crip patted her on the back, "I'm sure things will be.... ok from here Mrs. Naga.." he assured her, "If you think so, then I do too, come on, let's go now." Naga said as all three dashed off together.
Kalluto grunted at the thought of this invitation, "You alright there?" Machi asked him, he gasped and looked at her "U-uh... yeah..." he quietly answered, "When do we leave?" Feitan asked impatiently "..." Chrollo looked closely at the letter, "Shalnark, what time is it?" He looked at his phone "It's... 5:32 boss!" He answered, Chrollo grinned as he got up "Then we shall go now, the earlier we get there, the more chance we have of to getting what we want..." He explained 'There's a good chance other people got invited there too, my family could have been invited as well! What will I do?...' Kalluto thought to himself , he then got up "Eh? Where are you going kid?" Franklin asked, "I-...I need to... to go somewhere, I'll try to meet you guys back up..."Kalluto tried to explain, Chrollo nodded as a sign of "Ok" and Kalluto took off, "Boss are you sure it's a good idea to let him run out?" Shizuku asked questionably, "Good point, he could be caught..." Shalnark replied. "I trust our member to be careful, that is if they know what there doing, now..." Chrollo hopped off the crate, "Let's gets going..."
Kalluto ran as fast as he could back home, from the gate to his home, "Ah master Kalluto..." Amane said "Your parents were wondering where you were." She continued, Kalluto paused, "O-oh, well I'm here now, nothing to worry about, w-where are they now?" He asked "I think in the butler's mansion, I was told to head there after I found you, would you like to come with me?" She asked, "Uh...sure..." he answered, both Kalluto and Amane ran to the headquarters where the whole family was waiting for them, they opened the doors to see them all. "Ah Kalluto! Finally your here! Isn't next to me my child!" Kikyo said with joy, he nodded and sat next to her, silent, "Well your here, where's Killua and that little monster?" Milluki growled out, "They'll be coming, I've already told Killua about the news, both him and something shall be coming any moment now" Illumi explained, the doors then swung open, there were the two. "Well finally!" Milluki yelled out, "We were waiting for you guys for 15 minutes!" Killua stared at them "Yeah yeah... but don't you think we'll sit next to you guys, we're going to keep our distance, right Alluka?" He said as he looked at her, she nodded with a smile, "Well? What's the big news?" Killua asked.
"Well we've gotten an invitation from somebody and we wanted to know how you guys would feel about it..." Silva explained, "Invitation?" Kalluto said, "Indeed, if you guys really want to go, then get your stuff." Killua stood and thought 'We were invited? Why us? Is anyone else invited then too? If... so maybe my friends will come as well! Maybe I'll se Gon again!' Killua smiles "Sure lets go!" He exclaimed, they looked at him shocked, "Wait really?" Zeno asked to be sure, "I mean yeah! It'll be like a vacation for the family or so, you know, together?" Killua continued with a grin, "Oh I knew Killua would agree!" Kiyoko said with happiness, "I-I'll go too." Kalluto said, "Same here." Illumi continued, they looked at Milluki, "Ah ok, me three..." he said shrugging, "Then let's all get ready." Zeno said walking away.
"Wait."
They all looked at Killua, "I'll only come if Alluka comes too." They all looked at each other "Well, since they said EVERY family member can come, and Something is somewhat part of the family, it's only right to bring her too..." Silva said, "B-But..." Milluki want to say something, but he kept silenced instead . "Then it's settle, we'll start packing right now," Killua said as he and Alluka ran away to pack. "We're really doing this father?" Illumi asked, "Yes Illumi." Silva answered.
