A/N: Well, I really love Spider humor. This happened when the Genei Ryodan was still complete but they already met the 4 hunters. I hope you enjoy it and please review! I appreciate every one of them!
It was just one of Kuroro Lucifer's silly whims.
"What now?" Nobunaga muttered under his breath. There was always trouble whenever Danchou called them like this out of the blue.
"You're going for reconnaissance." Danchou began
Nobunaga lightened up; maybe this was going to be different.
"As you know, we're targeting the Yorkshin auctions next," Kuroro said as he stared at every member there. Pakunoda was smoking a cigarette, watching him intently. Machi had her hand on her hip with her icy expression. Franklin, Shizuku and Shalnark were in the middle of playing cards. And yup, Shalnark was losing. Ubogin and Nobunaga were in one corner while Feitan and Phinx were in the other, while Coltopi and Bononorefu were in another corner. As usual, Hisoka was on one of the box crates, stacking cards, giggling and smiling his not quite right smile.
"It's important that we know the ins and outs of the area," he continued, "So this is vital to our mission."
He paused and everyone held their breaths in suspense. Even Hisoka paused in his play but not staring at Danchou.
It was inevitable, Kuroro revealed the catch, "You're all going to be in a Shakesperean play called Romeo and Juliet."
"WHHAAATTT?"
Danchou remained serene as he watched the reactions of Spider. Franklin, Phinx, Nobunaga, Ubogin and Feitan had their mouths open, although Feitan's mouth couldn't be seen, it was obvious in his eyes that he was dumbfounded. Shalnark dropped his cards. Machi had both her hands on her hips in disbelief. Coltopi fell from his seat. Bononorefu had his linen unraveled. Pakunoda dropped her cigarette. Shizuku, completely oblivious, wore a curious expression on her face. Hisoka, meanwhile, produced a card and it showed the Grim Reaper. Couldn't be any better than this.
"Hey that's not fair," Phinx said first, "We're killers, not stage actors."
Everyone nodded in agreement, "Yeah, that's right."
"I told you that this is vital in our mission," Kuroro repeated, "Not only reconnaissance of the area of the auction but of people you're possibly going to crash into during your theft. Go forth and become stage actors. This is an order."
"The problem is we don't know the area. And we don't have access to the things to be auctioned," Kurapica said
"And we don't know how many we're up against." Leorio added
"13." Kurapica said.
"So how exactly are we going in?" the smallest of the three said.
Leorio glanced at Killua, "We can go as bidders."
"Well, we need tickets." Killua countered
"No need to worry," Kurapica said, "The Nostrads can handle that."
"Are you sure it's okay?" Leorio asked his blond friend
"Positive."
Killua uncrossed his legs and sat at the reversed chair, leaning forward, "So the problem is accessing the artifacts."
"Exactly," Kurapica nodded, "Bidders aren't allowed in that area," he looked up, "Hey, where's Gon anyway?"
Killua shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe he went out to buy something," then he added, "Maybe chocolate."
As if on cue, the three glanced at the door and Gon came bursting in hopping about excitedly.
"Hey Gon, where've you been?" Killua asked
The kid was still hopping, "Look at these guys! I've signed all of us up for the play!"
"What play?" Leorio asked
"It was written by Shakeys….no, Sakis, Shaky something," Gon muttered thinking hard
"Shakespeare?" Kurapica supplied
"Yeah, that's the one. And the title is Romeo and Juliet."
"WHHHAAATTTT?"
