The Web of The Spiders

Fate

The next morning the troupe gathered in an empty room with a large platform that's raised pretty high up from the ground in the middle of the room. The others were still asleep, perched up against the boxes they stuffed the goods in. The sun rose through the stained glass painting the members of the Phantom Troupe in an organge glow.

Abelina walked into the room and saw Chrollo staring at his friends with a calm face. He sighed and sat down. He reached next to him and opened a book and began reading. She didn't want to disturb him so she turned around and headed into town despite the rain rolling in.

She went for a stroll around the abandoned distict. She had been gone for a few hours by the time she returned, so she figured everyone would be up by now.

"Good you're here. I have something to say" Chrollo looked at all of the troupe members from above.

"We're leaving this place" He spoke.

"What do you mean we're leaving?" Nobunaga asked.

"Just like I told you. We're leaving tonight. We'll take the rest of the threasuure and that's the end of it" Chrollo repeated.

"Not yet!" Nobunaga argued.

"What else is there?" The Boss asked. The other memnbers stared at the sword weilder.

"We have to find the chain user" Nobunaga spat.

"You're obsessed" Chrollo  pointed out.

"We haven't avenged Uvo's death yet. You expect us to just pack and leave? He'll be bored I  the next world if we don't send him the chian user" He stated.

"Was the song of havoc we played not tribute enough? I killed so many people just for Uvo. He can play with them" Abelina pointed out.

"Why don't you cut it out Nobunaga. The Boss gave an order" Franklin warned.

"Right. The Boss' orders are absolute, but I wonder... Are you really speaking as our leader Chrollo?" Nobunaga asked. Abelina's bloodlust boomed in the room and everyone lookd at her.

"Are you going against our leader Nobunaga?" She talked in a singsong voice. For some reason that made her words more threatening.

"Stop Abelina" Chrollo ordred. She immedietly retracted her bloodlust. The Boss jumped down from his seat above the others.

"Before I answer that, I need you to answer a few of my questions" Chrollo said. He was right in front of Nobunaga as he spoke.

"When's your birthday?" He asked. Nobunaga looked confused. Abelina covered her mouth as she tried not to laugh too loudly. Chrollo repeated his question due to Nobunaga's confusion. The sword weilder answered his hesitantly.

"Blood type?"

"Positive"

"Name?"

"Nobunaga Hazuma. You know that. What is this? What's next huh?" Nobunaga sneered. Abelina was looking at her sharp nails. Maybe she should get them done...

"That's enough. Write it all down. Here" Boss handed him paper and a pen. He did as he was told and gave it back to the boss.

Chrollo sat on a crate and used Neon's nen ability to tell his fortune. He then handed it back to Nobunaga.

"What the hell is this?" He questioned.

"Your fortune. It's 100% accurate. I can tell the future. A skill I stole from Nostrade's daughter" He told them.

"And you're sure it's completely true?" Nobunaga asked.

"Each of the four verses predicts what's going to happnen in that week" Chrollo said. Nobunaga took the time to read them. Chrollo handed over his fortune for him to read as well.
