He trembled. Eyes shut tight and lips pressed together in attempts to suppress a scream, Illumi Zoaldyeck looked almost funny. He let out a whimper. He'd seen many frightening things before, many of which would have made the worlds bravest man award winner scream. But this, this was too much for even him.
Hesitantly, he peeked out of one eye. "EEP!" He squealed and slammed his eye shut again
"Go away, go away, GO AWAY!" the black haired….man silently screamed.
It was perfect timing too. He had just completed a job, and suspected security would be on him soon. Illumi had just about escaped when IT had appeared. There where only two things in the world he was afraid of. One of which he had since childhood, and one he had just acquired recently.
Illumi heard some yelling in a random hallway, probably somewhere above him.
"Shit!" he cursed.
IT had backed him up into a corner, and was now almost to overcome by fear to move. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes.
You can do this, Illumi. Just throw the pin, and it'll be dead. BUT WHAT IF I MISS! IT MIGHT COME CLOSER! No, I won't miss, I'll kill it. Just like I kill everything else. He argued with himself for a few more seconds finally deciding he no other choice but to try to kill IT.
He readied the silver pin in his hand and sighed once. He threw it.
"GAH! I knew it! I knew it! IT is closer now!" Illumi trembled.
He figured he must have been shaking and the pin got thrown of target, just barely, but IT was fast at dodging.
Illumi listened for the guards again, not taking his hesitant gaze of IT.
"He must be down stairs!" one called
"Everybody down there no…" The voice stopped mid sentence
"What the…. What happ… AAGH!" The first voice screamed
Illumi momentarily forgot about IT and raised an eyebrow? WHAT was going ON up there?
He heard several screams. And then… silence. Dead silence.
IT inched closer to Illumi; breaking him from his trance and making him let out a small "yip".
He heard footsteps heading down the stairs.
"Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. DAMN!" he cursed
The footsteps where getting closer to him. Closer. Closer. Closer. Illumi was about to come face to face with whatever guard the steps belonged to and…
"HISOKA!" Illumi asked/YELLED, when the owner of the footsteps appeared.
Yah that was definitely Hisoka. Unless YOU know someone else who had bright blue hair, clown makeup, and clothes that looked like he was raised by carnies.
His eyes returned to IT.
"Meep!" the assassin screamed
"Illu-chan? What are you doing here?" Hisoka grinned and cocked his head to the side.
Illumi ignored Hisoka's question and tried to back up against the wall a little more.
"Hm? What has Illu-chan so scared?" Hisoka looked around the room, finally landing with a quizzical look on Illumi.
"Tha-tha-that!" Illumi pointed to a spot on the floor in front of him
"What? But nothings there." The magician glanced at Illumi and then at the spot on the floor again.
"HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE IT! IT'S HUGE!" He yelled
Hisoka bent down lower to the floor, glaring at it.
"Illu-chan I still don't see anyth…" Hisoka stopped at the sudden grip around his arm.
It seemed as Illumi had had all that he could.
"KILLITKILLITKILLITKILLIT! Hisokaaa!" he screeched/whined, hugging Hiso-Hiso's arm.
Hisoka blinked, making sure he wasn't dreaming. Obviously, something had Illumi REALLY freaked. I mean, he was TOUCHING Hisoka. A feat crazy enough not usually made by ANYONE, no less ILLUMI!
Hisoka glared at the floor. He finally saw something.
"You mean THIS?" Hisoka asked.
"Mm-Hm" Illumi nodded, shuddering
Hisoka brought his finger down on the carpet. "There, it's dead," he grinned, "Is Illu-chan all better now?" he put on a falsely concerned tone
Illumi glanced at the carpet and immediately took a big step away from Hisoka, regaining his stoic look.
"That never happened, got it Hisoka?" Illumi glared
"OF COURSE IT HAPPENED! I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL EVERYONE! ILLU-CHAN IS A armpemhope." The last word was muffled my Illumi's hand.
"Hisoka, if you tell anyone that you know," he looked uneasy, "I swear I'll kill you!" he whispered
"What?" Hisoka looked like he was trying very hard not to laugh
Illumi glared, "That I have…," he lowered his tone so only Hisoka could hear, "arachnophobia." He whispered
"Don't worry, Illu-chan. You're secret fear is safe with me!" he giggled
With that, the two left, one failing to stifle giggles, and the other blushing, leaving behind a the miniscule corpse of a dead spider behind.

A/N: I snuck an inside joke in their the thepioden and angelofelements may get.
When hisoka says armpemhope, that's supposed to be the muffled version of arachnophobe.
Please review!
This was not ALL my idea, the orginal "Illumi is afraid of spiders" thing was inspired by a caffinated session of anime talk whith someone else.
