A Genius Thrown to the Wolves

Kneel Ch. 45

The fight was over in less than an hour, and the only reason it lasted as long as it did is because Uvogene just wanted to fight. When he was done with the shadow beasts he was fighting, the last one was trying to make his get away. Shalnark, Phinx, and Feitan were more than enough to subdue him and bring him back, he was the one they needed alive after all. The shadow beast called owl. Once they got back Feitan began torturing the beast. There was still the issue of Uvogene's fight with the other beasts, he'd been infested with eggs that would hatch and tear his insides to shreds if he couldn't get them out. After explaining this to Chrollo, he turned to Kiyotaka, "Can you do something about this?"

Once again Kiyotaka turned to Hisoka who just nodded, "Yes, I can." "Well, then I leave Uvogene in your hands" Chrollo said before leaving, having somewhere else he needed to be. Something about a daughter with a fortune telling ability. Uvogene turned to look at Kiyotaka, "Really, Boss left this in your scrawny hands. I'm just gonna go out and drink a shit tone of beer." Uvogene went to leave but found that he couldn't, "What the, why can't I move?" This caught the rest of the troupe's attention. "Because I'm not allowing you to." Kiyotaka's cold voice cut through the confusion.  He stood up and walked over to Uvogene who was snarling like a beast trying desperately to move, but being unable to do so. 

Kiyotaka covered his hands in nen, and placed them on Uvogene's abdomen. He was looking for the exact location of the eggs. They were already in his liver. "Kneel" Kiyotaka said. Cold. Uvogene who was about to retort, fell to his knees. Kiyotaka grabbed his jaw with one hand, holding the other in front of his mouth. "This isn't going to feel pleasant." "Wha-?!" Uvogene's eyes widened. It felt like something was being shoved down his throat, but it didn't stop there. He could physically feel it moving through his stomach and intestines, until it reached his liver. he felt the nen rubbing against the walls of his liver. It was painful, but he couldn't even yell out. He felt whatever it was inside him start to climb back up. It was even worse this time, It felt like he was puking, but doing so extremely slowly. 

Finally it was out. A huge clump of eggs fell to the floor next to Uvogene, who was breathing heavy and coughing. The rest of the troupe in shock. They could be dumb at times but they weren't stupid, this cat had just brought Uvogene to his knees with just a word. He was clearly more dangerous then they had made him out to be. Uvogene himself, was still on his knees, not able to process what had just happened. He was the strongest enhancer! He was the strongest! How could he let a scrawny cat bring him to his knees with a mere word! Not just a word, but a command! He'd just let some nobody give him a command and listened! That wasn't supposed to be possible, he is Uvogene for crying out loud! 

The troupe watched as Uvogene let out a seething breath before abruptly standing up and trudge out the door. "I'm still going to drink a shit tone of beer" he snarled as he left, his pride very clearly hurt. When he was far enough away the rest of the troupe crowded around Hisoka and Kiyotaka. "How did you do that!" "I can't believe you just brought him to his knees!" Comments and questions were being thrown at Kiyotaka a mile a minute. 

Since Kiyotaka couldn't answer them or find room to speak he just decided it was better to stay silent and not answer any of them. When they finally got it all out of their system, they lost very quickly lost excitement and all went to do their own thing. One thing that they all had was a lingering fear of the potential danger that Kiyotaka was, and the fact that Kiyotaka currently makes Hisoka the strongest member among them. This was a scary though that sent momentary shivers down all of their spines. 

Hisoka also deciding that there was no business left for them that night, picked Kiyotaka up and began walking toward the city. They stopped to eat at a nice outdoor restaurant before going home. Hisoka did have one question in mind, what would it feel like if Kiyotaka used that part of his ability on him? Then he had a second one, how did he manage to pull that off in the first place? He'd see Illumi's version of mind control, but this wasn't the same, it didn't require killing or a pin, so what was it? 

"Ask" Kiyotaka said as they both slumped onto the couch upon returning home. Hisoka perked up a little, about to ask what he meant, before realizing, "First, how did you apply your nen like that?" Kiyotaka turned to lay his head face up on Hisoka's lap. "I allow my nen to flow into the brain of my target and manipulate their brain to obey my words. It's far more complex since I have to manually, temporarily mess with their brain chemistry but that is the gist of it" Hisoka never ceases to be impressed by Kiyo. He should have know, it was more complex then it seemed. 

The next day Kiyotaka and Hisoka got up to go meet back with the rest of the troupe, they got to sleep in since they weren't required to be there until around 1 in the afternoon. Upon walking into the base and taking a look around Uvogene was missing. Maybe he drank a little to much and couldn't properly wake up this morning. They didn't know what to expect when they walked into the base, but it wasn't a missing Uvogene and it certainly wasn't a chained up Killua and Gon at the center of it.
