~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.
{Est.Before the date; 6/6/2014}
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.
"
You really are insane, aren't you?" He accused again, Hisoka raised an eyebrow "Now, whatever gave you that indication?~♥" He sarcastically remarked, waving the bracelet around his wrist as he pretended to check his nails. Illumi rolled his eyes, "Fine, You can come along but I can't promise you that you will live to see all of it." Illumi said as he started the car and, locked the doors. Hisoka sat up suddenly, curious. "And why is that?" He asked, "Because, I'm a member of the infamous Zoldyck Mafia Family..." Illumi replied while pulling to the road again, heading towards the lake to dump the body.
Hisoka fell silent for a moment, and Illumi noticed his expression, more, calculating than fearful like he expected. He jumped when Hisoka suddenly clasped his hands together. "Ah, this is one exciting little Schizophrenic episode I'm having today! My I love the details, the forest getting closer and... darker than I recall, and really, an attractive Mafia Assassin here giving me a hitch out of the looney bin? I really must be having a nice dream, or an episode.~♥" Hisoka practically shouted in a mock happiness, before he pulls out a card from almost nowhere, and leans over towards Illumis face, booping the man's nose with the tip of the card.
"Heh, I'm relieved to see you're taking this rather well, but this isn't....exactly a dream. You're lucky I didn't hit you with my car, but at the same time it's better you're alive, less work for me after all. And now, since you know my position, and probably where I'm going-" "I don't~♠", " Right....well, I can't simply let you go now..." Illumi finished, pulling into a dirt road. Driving towards a further part of the lake, before parking. He glanced at Hisoka. Who was absolutely blank, "I need to rid a body..." Illumis said bluntly, "Get out of the car, and if you say a word about what takes place tonight, I will have no choice but to kill you." He finished, drawing a needle to the madman's throat, to which, Hisoka laughed.
"What's so funny?!" Illumi glared, Hisoka chuckled more, leaning closer to where the needle grazed his Adams apple. "What makes you think I'm easy to take down? How cute...this is the best episode I've ever had, maybe it really is real, A hot Mafia Assassin here to rid a body threatens me to keep my mouth shut, baby my lips are sealed tighter than your ass if I get to go home with you~♥" Hisoka flirts with a manic smile, Illumi's eyes widen and his face flushed, "TH-THIS ISN'T AN 'EPISODE' I'm real- and I will kill you-" he threatens, when Hisoka suddenly leans in close, wrapping an arm around the others waist, His other tugging Illumi's sleek black tie so hes against his ear, "Oh my dear, Dont threaten me with a good time~♥" he whispered, Illumi blushed red, and felt his body frizz up like a cat and he abruptly shoved Hisokas face away, his elbow honking the horn of the car, scaring off birds in the distance, the two men pause before Hisoka bursts into Snickers. Illumi groans, his headache feeling worse as he then stabs Hisokas hand into part of the seat. The Motherfucker moaned, Illumi heard the sound and literally felt his gayness kicking in. He swallowed thickly adjusting his tie before smoothly saying, "Stay here..." He then left the car, and disposed of the body, leaving Hisoka to watch as he disappears into the night.
It felt like hours, waiting in the car, Hisokas boredom kicking in, his mind playing tricks as the drugs they pumped him with before he escaped only made his mind swirl, this had to be an episode, but the blood and pain in his hand....it was too real, to...annoyingly tingly to see it as not real. He pouted, staring at the headlights where that handsome mafia man faded into the night went. He sighed and clicked his tongue before pulling the needle from his hand. And grinning before licking it clean of blood, and idly getting out of the car. "...Illumi?" He called out, to no reply. He rubbed his eyes, the trees moving in twisted ways, the clouds forming skulls in the full moonlight, the ground felt...loud...Hisoka grumbled, and forced himself to remain in the seat.
When Illumi returned, he noticed how Hisoka was smiling relieved to see him. "Okay, now what to do with you...." Illumi asked. "Hmmm Take me with you?~♣" Hisoka suggested. "I'm not capable of handling the mentally deranged." Illumi remrked harshly, starting the car and driving back onto the road. "I'm not deranged, I just....need a new...change of pace I suppose. C'mon, won't you give a circus freak like me a small chance to play this fun little guns and drugs game?~♥" he asked with excitement in those honey gold eyes. Illumi paused, feeling drawn into that stare. He groaned, "Hm...Well, I got a job tomorrow...We can see how you do then. But. I want to be explicitly clear, you fuck up. You die." He states flatly, coldly. At Hisoka, who only grins excitedly before once again, leaning back, crossing those socks on the dash and humming, "Of course of course, boss~♥" he chuckles. Illumi bluntly turned the radio up, and they kept driving, "I suppose...The next Target is a man named Jimhung...he owes 5K...and if he can't pay, I'm ordered to take his leg and daughter... If you're really interested. You can do the damage..." He smirks, expecting the other to back down.
Hisoka sits up in his seat suddenly, "This is exciting, and you really expect me to simply give this up and go back to staring at white walls all for a little bit of some mild hallucinations, suicidal and homicidal tendencies? Of course I'm in, as long as I get a cutt of the pay~♦" He replies, Illumi feels his shoulders slump a bit. This is going to take some adjusting to, he doesn't know what this man is capable of, or if he's even worth the time to train, it's not like working with his little brother Killua at all. He watches hisoka fiddle with the radio before eventually sitting back, humming along to some Nirvana playing on the station. "Alright then... We'll see if you're all bark no bite, Wild card..." Illumi says as he begins driving through the freeway, as their next target is in a different region entirely.
"Pills and smiles around, the shadows call and twist my mind, but is it your empty eyes and soothing voice that ease the darkness encasing me? Can you finally see the pain beneath these maddening feats?~♣"
