WARNING: This chapter is pretty graphic, so be warned and read at you're own risk.
There were several methods he could use. Did he want to torture the man, or watch the brief expression of horror cross his face at the realization that he'd lost before his head rolled across the floor. He could do any number of things in between as well. Between the walk and the big bad villain speech Genthru would inevitably give, Kiyotaka had plenty of time to decide.
When Kiyotaka had been led several miles into the woods, then into a secret little area where there was already a large crowd of people gathered. 'So he's one for a grand entrance huh?' Kiyotaka thought as he walked out on stage along with everyone else. Everyone started yelling profanities at Genthru, and making a run for the stage until a loud explosion sounded from the audience. On the hunters was now on the floor dead, and without a head. The whole area went dead silent, everyone stopping in their tracks. Genthru smiled, "Yes! I am the bomber you've all been trying to find. Does it sting? The betrayal of the bomber being someone you all trusted?" Genthru let out a hysterical laugh that terrified his audience.
"I gathered you all here tonight because I no longer have any use for you." He turned to the younger man standing by his side, "Pay close attention Kiyotaka" Before Kiyotaka could even respond, one explosion sounded after another. Genthru only setting off one bomb at a time leaving everyone wondering if the next bomb will their head or not. 'The terror of the anticipation of their own death, what a great idea' Kiyotaka thought as he watched the blood bath in front of him.
Once the last person was dead, Genthru began to speak while looking out at the chaos he'd caused, "I have already placed a bomb on your head as well. If you want to end up like your peers, you'd do well to listen to me. Understo-" Genthru had turned to revel in the terrified look of his new play thing, except there wasn't one. Instead his eyes meet cold, calculating ones setting alarm bells off in his head. "w-w-what is it Kiyotaka? Don't like the sight of blood?" Genthru tried sounding confident and in control.
Kiyotaka's eyes were on the bloody mess body's crumpled to the floor in their own blood. "You put on a nice show. You're a good actor too, you clearly had all those people fooled as was evident by the betrayal on their faces." He brought his eyes back to meet Genthru's who still has yet to move. "Too bad, I'm better."
This sent Genthru into action, "You don't want to do that! I have a bomb on you too, I can make it go off anytime I want!" He didn't know what he expected to happen, but he certainly didn't expect the small upward tug at the corner of Kiyotaka's lips. He was smiling. "I would look up if I were you." Kiyotaka said. Genthru was terrified to see a bomb above his own head ticking down. It still had about 12 minutes left on it. "See that timer?" Kiyotaka called out, reclaiming Gentru's attention. "That is how long I'm going to torture you for. I won't let you die until that timer runs out." Kiyotaka had walked up to Genthru and forced him to his knees. He grabbed Genthru's terrified face, Kiyotaka rubbed his cheek on Genthru's in a mockingly gentle manner before whispering in his ear, "By the time I'm done with you, you'll consider that bomb your savior."
Kiyotaka brought the tall man back to his feet and Genthru tried to move, but he couldn't, he could get his body to do what he wanted. He was stuck, and the anticipation of his torture was making him sweat bullets. Then it started to kick in, pain started pulsing from his fingertips. The kind of pulsing that comes from slamming your finger in the car door. Then he felt his legs start to go numb, until he couldn't feel them at all. It was weird and terrifying because he wasn't falling, it felt like he was floating, and not in a good way. In the way that at any second he could fall. When he looked up Kiyotaka, those cold eyes saw right through that fear. In an instant Genthru felt his heart drop as he began to fall to the floor, unable to feel anything until his knees painfully hit the ground. The sensation nearly gave his a heart attack. The scariest part of it all, was that this was just the beginning. It hadn't even been a minute yet.
Now that Kiyotaka had his warm-up it was time for the main event. "Genthru." Genthru felt his head forcefully snap up to look at Kiyotaka, he could painfully tell he pulled a muscle while doing so. "Those bloodied bodies you created are so beautiful, lets make you beautiful too." At first Genthru felt relief at the statement, thinking Kiyotaka decided to just kill him. The terror set back in as soon as he heard the next words to leave Kiyotaka's mouth, "Get rid of your skin, let me see that beautiful red underneath." Genthru was terrified at the order, and he was even more terrified that his arm was already reaching to his other arm and digging in, nothing he could do to stop it despite the arm being his own.
Kiyotaka watch coldly as Genthru's screams filled the air. It had be about five minutes now, and Genthru just finished tearing the skin off both his arms. "There .... done" Genthru gasped out, in obvious pain. "Not done. Your face is the most important part~" Genthru choked out a scream as his nails ripped at the skin of his cheeks. His fingers were still pulsing, and were now skinless open wounds. Kiyotaka had been right, all Genthru wanted in this moment was the sweet release of death. He looked up above his head. That release was still 4 minutes away. 3 minutes away. "Red really is such a beautiful color on people." 2 minutes- "Now eat it." "What" Genthru rasped, tears were steaming down his face, his screams almost soundless as he'd lost his voice. "You heard me." Genthru looked own at the skin he held in his hands. "No! You can't d-" "I can, and you will~"
Genthru was horrified yet again to see his body acting of it's own accord, bringing the hand full of skin up to his mouth. It tasked awful and strongly of copper. He felt the sting of stomach acid rise in his throat several times, happy that he could get it out of his stomach, and extremely disappointed when his body forced it back down every single time. Genthru looked up, 10 seconds left, he swallowed another bite. 8 seconds left, he was force fed another bite. 3 seconds left, he swallowed. 2 seconds, his hands were approaching with another bite. I second, his mouth opened.
Zero.
Genthru's hands fell to his sides, and his body collapsed backwards. The pulsing pain in his fingertips no longer present.
But something was wrong. Why was he still in pain? Why was he able to think about still being in pain?
Then pain exploded everywhere. Genthru's eyes shot open to find Kiyotaka kneeling down next to him. A small bag in his hands. "Salt. A precious commodity, and my parting gift to you" The salt burned, he wanted to scream and rage at Kiyotaka, but he couldn't. His throat was to ragged to let him. But he found he could talk slowly and quietly, "You said the bomb would go off"
A cold laugh sounded from Kiyotaka. "Did you really think I'd actually give you what you wanted? How childish." Genthru mentally slapped himself for allowing himself to hope for that light at the end of the tunnel. Having it ripped away like that was probably the worst blow yet. His body writhing in the agony created by the salt on his missing skin.
Kiyotaka started again, "Here's what's going to happen. You won't have feeling back in your legs for about two days. During those two days you skin is going to scab over, and you be good to get up and walk after that. It will be excruciating, but still." Kiyotaka got up before seeming to remember one more thing to add. "I also made it so you can't purposefully harm yourself. Which means no getting out of this the easy way." Genthru was absolutely broken. Silently sobbing as
With that Kiyotaka took out his phone and took a few pictures to show Hisoka since he knew the man would ask. "Looks like a my little kitten had his fun~" Never mind. Hisoka can see his work first hand.
