The group simultaneously moves to gather round a large crate with the blueprints of a building outstretched ontop of it. Feitan gets up from next to you, but you remain where you are, deciding not to intrude on their work.

"boss, are you sure it's okay if [y/n] is here, we don't know her so can we trust her?" shalnark speaks up

Chrollo shares a look with Feitan and a silent pact is formed between the two of them.

"don't worry, I can kill her if needs be" Feitan responds

You understood perfectly that your presence was a huge risk to the group, you were a liability, a possible loose end that could easily be cut in an instant if it came down to it. But still, something pulled at your heart at the thought of Feitan killing you.

The group looked towards you, half expecting to see a look of utter dismay and betrayal spread across your face. To some disappointment, you simply hummed in response and looked away, refusing to let your pride be tarnished.

Chrollo began to outline plans to infiltrate an underground auction on August 31st, in two days' time. The group had meetings about this before, but you obviously hadn't known about it. After a few minutes, you got bored. Planning had never really been your strong suit. In fact, you never planned anything you did. It was more thrilling to overcome obstacles as you went along. "Overcome" meaning to kill. You literally killed any and every unfortunate sucker to cross your path.

Completely uninterested in the criminal activity occurring beside you, you pull out a throwing star from your pocket and begin to twirl it in-between your fingers, throwing it up and catching it, all the while admiring how the light danced of its polished surface. After a while this began to lose your focus on this too, so you made a small incision in the palm of your hand and let the blood seep into the crevices ingrained in the metal. A rush filled your body and you could feel the connection between the weapon and yourself. You had been the owner of this particular set of stars for nearly five years now, and consequently, you shared quite the bond. They were your favourite choice of weapon, and you used them a lot, becoming familiar with their movements and various attack styles.

You threw the star across the room, but before it could hit the wall on the other side, it swooped round, changing trajectory and arrived casually back in your hand. You repeated this a few times, progressively making the patterns more intricate as the star glided around the room, swirling and looping in the air. Completely engrossed in the activity, you failed to realise the dozen eyes watching your movements meticulously.

A shiver ran up your spine and you looked around. Your eyes rested on hisoka, who was watching you with a smirk plastered across his face. Without breaking eye contact, your hand reached up and grabbed the star out of air mid-flight as it sored inches away from your face.

"What" you growled at the members expectant stares.

At this, small chuckles can be heard from various members of the group, all of which are quickly silenced with a death glare from the boss.

Sighing, Chrollo turns back to you.

"Will you be joining us?"

"Hmmm, what would I get out of it?"

He looks slightly amused, realising that you had not been paying attention to the crucial planning meeting at all.

"we are about to rob one of the.. no, THE most prestigious underground auction in the world, what more could you want"

"meh, I could think of a few things"

Another scatter of laughter was heard that was quickly silenced.

"like what"

After a moment of consideration, your mind fixated on the one thing that you have recently been craving.

"let me go on a killing spree, I haven't let loose in foreverrrrrr" you say with a groan, slumping back to rest against the back of the crate.

Small smile creeps up on the boss' face.

Phinks pats feitan on the back,
"you bagged yourself a good one Fei"

Overhearing this comment, you look up at Feitan and slyly wink, earning a few "oooohs" from a few of the members.

Chrollo lets out a low chuckle,
"very well, you can kill whoever gets in your way"

"Cool. I'm in"
