A Genius Thrown to the Wolves

A Proposition Ch. 31

The ref. was brought out of his stunned silence when Kiyotaka addressed him, "Um, can you check on him, he hit his head pretty hard." Kiyotaka feigned concern for his opponent. "G-GIDO ID DEAD, KIYOTAKA AYANOKOJI IS THE WINNER" He announced while a medical team came and wheeled Gido off in a body bag. Still the crowd remained silent. That is until lone clapping became audible in the crowd, the source obviously being Hisoka as he made his way down the stands and over to Kiyotaka. He put a hand on his head, rubbing it while smiling and praising him. "I didn't lift a finger" "I know! Good job Kiyo~ I was very entertained" Hisoka praised further. Kiyotaka leaned in to his touch before Hisoka picked him up, like you would a cat, and walked off. Seeing this, Gon, Killua, Wing, and Zushi all rushed off to catch them, a million questions dancing around in their heads.

Hisoka and Kiyotaka were happily sipping on a milk tea in one of the many open sitting areas that could be found on the floor. That was until their moods were soured, Hisoka's slightly more then Kiyotaka's, when the little rag tag group of rookie 12 year old nen users, plus wing, walked up to them slightly panting. "Whew, we've been looking all over for you guys" Gon said excitedly, though he is still cautious of Hisoka and His relationship with Kiyotaka. Kiyotaka looked up at him "Why would you be looking for us? Do you need something?" He'd feigned oblivious to the reason his quiet time was interrupted. He really just wanted them to ask so they could leave faster. He didn't dislike the group or anything, but they always seemed to come at inconvenient times. Though that was mostly when Gon was involved, Kiyotaka favored Killua because he was much quieter.

Killua able to sense the implications of Kiyotaka's question, yet another reason he was favored, "We wanted to ask how you won 'with out lifting a finger' and how you knew all that stuff about him?" "I did my research. (He left out the part that the 'research' happened mid fight.) I knew he was deeply effected by his first fight on this floor, and used the speech and posture of his opponent for that fight. That's all." It sounded complicated enough to be believable, but still far from the full truth. "But I thought you. used nen in the beginning?" Well he'd expected some people to see, so he had two option on how to answer or he could avoid answering all together, but that might be risky because Killua and Wing wouldn't be distracted so easily. So he said "That's when I did my research." "Huh" All four of them were confused. "How did you use nen to do research?" Zushi asked aloud what everyone was thinking. "I used nen to look into his memories and used that information against him."

The group was shocked, even Hisoka. They did't know that level and use of nen was possible. Hisoka knew of Illumi's nen ability and how he could do all he does with his needles, but that's just him enforcing his will on others, or amplifying their emotions if he messes with his victims heads at all like he was doing with Killua. It was nothing to this level.

Gon was the first to snap out of the shock "THAT'S POSSIBLE?!". He yelled, loud, so loud, in fact, that Kiyotaka struggled to hide his flinch from the volume as he was still not completely used to how sensitive his ears were. As a result Hisoka was quick to cover Kiyotaka's ears as soon as he'd heard Gon start to yell, pulling Kiyotaka closer to him, the action hiding the slight flinch.

"Yes. It's possible. I just did it didn't I?" Gon flinched at how coldly that question had been asked, but he just rubbed the back of his neck, a sign of embarrassment, "Yeah, ha ha, I guess so" With that question so coldly answered the air was still and filled with an uncertainty on how to move forward. "Either way that was badass, I mean seriously I didn't know you had it in you!" Killua was the one who lightened the mood back up when he expressed his admiration. "Yeah, but Gido died as a result of that fight." Gon said still expressing his confliction over the results of the fight. Kiyotaka decided to poke at the boy "Gido may have died, but I didn't kill him." "Well, yeah but he still died"  "That is true. And unfortunate." Kiyotaka had added on like he hadn't just covered up murdering his opponent. And obviously Hisoka could tell. He didn't exactly how, but figured he'd know more of the ins and outs later.

Hisoka was right. After the new group left he and Kiyotaka went back to their room where Kiyotaka sat on the counter and watched as Hisoka prepared dinner for the both of them. "Your fight with Kastro is in less then a week." Hisoka glanced back at Kiyo, "It is~", before returning his eyes to the stove. "You're planning to break him too." "I am. Though I'm re-considering how I go about it after seeing your fight today. Feel like I've got to step up my game~" "Well I haven't really see you fight like that before, so I'll enjoy anything." "That's good to know, but why did you really bring up Kastro." "I was just wondering if I could have my fun too" A light came on in Hisoka's eyes "What did you have in mind?" "I was thinking of 'seducing' him" Kiyotaka said with air quotes. "I can just walk by, maybe ask him a question or two. Get close enough to him to induce all the physical and chemical side effects of being infatuated by someone. Then after you break him mentally, maybe a little physically (At that Kiyotaka's eyes got dark with excitement) then I break him emotionally, ripping his heart in two from inside his chest." Hisoka smirked, came between Kiyotaka's legs and leaned into his ear, licking the shell of it, "You're being my kitten more and more everyday. I love it~" Hisoka said, his voice serenely low and husky. Kiyotaka knew his plan was excitedly accepted, and he loved the out come.
