~Cold nights and sunshine lies, the pills cast aside, those silly games you always play, now gone far away, you say you're pain is all in your head, I wish I could ease your dread though my cold heart keeps me cold to the bone I one day hope my cold hands can warm your soul~
-Illumi Zoldyck.

Illumi sighed heavily, before drawing a cigarette and bringing it to his lips, taking a drag and glancing down at the body laying in the cold snow, this was his work, in the Zoldyck mafia family business. To dispatch anyone who crossed them, or their allies. He growled as he picked up the phone and dialed Killua who, of course didn't pick up. "Tch, of course he's playing hookie..." He scoffs hauling the corpse over his shoulder, and into the trunk, texting his mother that the targets been disposed of. He gets in the car afterwards, the snow fogging up his breath in the windshield as he starts it. It's been a long day, he feels the ache in his bones from dragging bodies or drugs or guns and ammo, but it's fine, it certainly beats a boring office job. And he gets a share of any of the substances he wants, good pay, he's set for a good time.

But, it's lonely, and you can't get too attached to some of your partners, he's learned that the hard way when he watched his father shoot his last lover right in front of his eyes. Illumi's attention drifts down to his gas light which just turned on in his lovely black Chevrolet, 'tch, I'm tired, I'm low on gas, and stuck staying up late with a body in my trunk...' he grumbles pulling into the gas station before hearing an abrupt thump once he pulled into the pump. Illumi's eyes widen when he sees...a Magenta haired man, in what appears to be mental hospital clothes, laying in front of his car...like he got hit. "Uhm...Sir?" Illumi asks, slowly reaching into his suit for a needle should he need to rid him, 'I can't let him see the back, tch, I could kill him....I did have a bad day...' he thinks before the man suddenly throws himself up and against his suit, grasping his tie, immediately those golden orbs struck into his obsidian ones with a mere look, the man had some...paint smearing his cheeks.
He laughed a bit... differently, his voice sending strange shivers down Illumi's spine. "Excuse me but would you be so kind as to lend me a ride home? I may have ran away from somewhere I can't say where but I promise I can pay and maybe even make it worth your way~♥" He said. Illumi paused before shoving him back, "How much?", he asked getting to the point. Suppose he looks....dumb enough to avoid having to be killed. He thought to himself as he began to pump the gas.
The pink haired man grinned before pulling a stack of ones from his pocket, Illumi's eyebrows raised in surprise before hearing sirens in the distance and glancing back at that sly grin on the others face. "You stole that didn't you?" Illumi accused before the other shrugged nonchalantly, "I 'borrowed' it I can pay it back..." He lied, "Tch, What's your name...Stranger and where are you headed?", Illumi asked, snatching the stash of cash from the other. The magenta haired male didn't answer as he happily hopped into the passenger seat, immediately throwing his pink grippy socks onto the dash and moving the seat back for comfort. Illumi narrowed his eyes, 'this.... individual he's interesting that's for sure, again, why havent I felt that...need to kill him just yet, I feel...a strange connection to him...' Illumi thought to himself before he finished pumping the gas and getting into the car.

Halfway down the road, Illumi glanced at him from the corner of his eye, "Your Name?" He asks. The other glanced at him, smiling softly, Illumi noticed bandages covering his arms as he spoke, "Hisoka~♦" he said calmly. Illumi tilted his head, "Interesting, I'm Illumi...Do you. Have anywhere to go, Hisoka?" Illumi asked as he drove through towards a near hotel, to drop him off for a night. "why not let me go wherever you're going, you're rather handsome. And I'm not interested in going back to the looney bin..and home? What's that.~♦" Hisoka said nonchalantly, Illumi paused surprise filling his expression.
