This was troublesome.

I looked down from the balcony, taking a small break in the torture when I'd felt another presence nearby. Finishing the torture wasn't the troublesome part, the troublesome part was standing about 10m below me, giving me short wave. I sighed lightly before turning around and walking back in to make sure the job would be finished properly, Hisoka can wait.

He had already reached where he wanted to be, yet he continues to push the boundaries. If he wants to keep what he already has, he needs to stop doing that. I don't object to these after mission activities, but we're not expanding beyond that. He seems to be under the impression that because I have come to appreciate something I previously didn't, that his possibilities were endless.

He's in about the most favorable situation he can be in, he's not wise in antagonizing it.

'Are you still sure you're not talking?' I pushed the button, sending a stronger current of electricity through my target's body. Considering my client did not particularly care about evidence of torture being left, I'd opted to just take care of it here. Mind you that I was not leaving any hint that I'd been the one hired, though.

I stopped in front of my current results.

'There are still various ways left in which I can persuade you. I don't have to kill you, I am not ordered to do so. Do you want to know the record of my targets being kept alive?' He struggled against the metal cuffs around his wrists, I turned my eyes up to it. It was useless for him to do so, really. I'd attached the short chains into the wall with my own hands, for someone like him it would be impossible to break free.

'You're not understanding your situation yet. You wouldn't even wish for death anymore, you would just stop caring about what you say or don't. So you either spare me the time now, or I will just wait it out. I have more than a week left. Your choice.' I looked back at him, forcing his chin up and eyes open to look at me. He already knows there isn't a choice, but he is yet to obey. I let go of his face in favor of grabbing a couple more needles.

'You're torturing yourself, really.' I cocked my head, holding the new needles up. 'Mah, perhaps you actually like the pain, I'll have to reprogram your body then.' I forced both needles in the sides of his head simultaneously. He was allowed to scream all he wanted - there wasn't any surveillance on save for mine, and any guards in the near vicinity had already been taken care of. He didn't know this though, he still had the hope that someone would come to his rescue. Futile hope, he doesn't understand his situation at all.

The screams filling my ears were kind of underwhelming, actually. As soon as the needles were in though, I had his eyes fixed on one point, he couldn't look away anymore. He started violently shaking his head when he noticed, so I took out another needle,

'I can do that to any part of your body, do you really think it's going to matter to me? Or should I break another bone, does that work better with you? Perhaps I should try fire, flaying, or slow dismemberment. It's either that, or you tell me about the information.'

'He's not very talkative, is he.'

'What kind of reason could you possibly have to disturb me on a mission.' I reacted annoyed at the redhead having gotten too impatient, and implanted a needle to fixate the man's head movements for now.

Showing up at the place I had a mission was one thing, actually invading the workspace was another broken boundary. When I saw the man in front of me wanting to bite his tongue off, I stilted his jaw movement as well.

'He'll not be able to say a lot like that.'

'Why are you here.' I let my hand slide up his arm, and ended with taking a light hold of the top of his pinky. For a second I redirected my attention back to my mission, and started pushing the top to the side. I saw him starting to cringe, but he couldn't look away from me. 'Did you know that the anticipation of pain is often greater than the pain itself?' I pushed it to the side a bit further, before releasing it for a second. Tears of pain were already filling his eyes. I smiled at him before I pushed it with just enough force for it to be partially ripped off. 'Or I may be lying.' I dropped my smile again, his screams halted in his throat. Going on long enough like this, and he'll beg for his mouth to be able to open and give me everything he knows. People like him that don't note important information are quite troublesome. 'Has anyone ever told you that you get numb from pain after a while if it's focused on one area?' He didn't react, 'Unfortunately that's true. Although I have various ways to spread the pain over your entire body, I also have this.' I held up the syringe before sticking it in neck. 'That should keep your nerves aggravated.'

'My, I do love to see you at work like this.'

'I'd appreciate it that if you choose to put yourself in a bad position anyway, that you keep your aura to yourself, Hisoka.' I immobilized my victim's arms before finally turning my head to the redhead. Perhaps I should just quit these activities with Hisoka altogether. It's not unpleasurable though. But I've noticed how he gradually made me used to his visits up to the point where it would be strange if he wasn't there at my room otherwise.

'My apologies.' He accommodated to this order of mine,

'I don't care about apologies, why are you here?' I didn't blink once while Hisoka was stalling the moment.

'Would you believe it if I said I need information from this poor man myself?' I heard a couple of loud whimpers behind me when Hisoka casually pointed one of his long fingers his way. He got a short answer though.

'No.'

'Well if you're sure I'm going to lie anyway, why even bother to ask.' He turned his raised hand palm up in question before dropping it to his hip. I inclined my body his way a bit more.

'Why are you taking this kind of gamble? You know I'm not a slave to these activities.'

'Should I just keep it to showing up at your room from now then.'

'You're pushing it now to reduce the resistance of you showing up there even more? Are you pushing me to beg for it when you're not there?'

'Is it working.' He let out a soft laugh before saying those words. So that's not it then.

'Give me a second.' I blinked again when I heard the cries behind me, and chose to break the next bone in his pinky, and the one after that. I let it hang off the side of his hand before sticking a needle just next to the bone, down into the flesh of his hand, until it almost reached his wrist. 'There.' I could see he wanted to move this almost separated part of his body subconsciously, blood slowly oozing out, but he resisted the impulse. After a minute of watching this, I smiled again and reached up to slowly rip the finger off him. Hope in torture is only useful if you can take it away.

I answered Hisoka without turning back around, letting the dismembered finger fall to the floor.

'Something like that would only work if I was not aware of it.'

'Well then, is my presence working on your instincts switching yet?'

'We're not having sex here. Even though this man will give me all I need to know within the hour, you're going to relocate before I consider you enough of a hindrance to the mission that I'm obligated to take you out.'

'Oh~? But I know I wouldn't be able to distract you from anything if you were unaffected by my presence, isn't that so?' From the corner of my eyes I saw him shrug, coming to this conclusion. The point here was that he wasn't incorrect. Although barely noticeable, I wasn't completely in mission mindset. Hisoka being the single person to trigger this with me, he was the single person that could disturb the mission. These are usually satisfying moments to me, I don't like this interference.

'If you want me to revert completely to the way I was raised, that is no problem at all.' I tilted my head back a little, noticing I'd let out a small amount of killing intent. Doing that was already too much for me though, and I retreated the aura. Hisoka laughed when I did.

'Well, just make sure you don't turn into that beast, and you'll be fine. I'll wait right here.' I turned back when the sound of cries started dying down and I heard him trying to hold his breath to make himself pass out.

'You're very stubborn, it's very easy for me to force you to breathe. Do you want me to do that, or will you breathe on your own?' I blinked when I noticed he realized the threat was real, and turned around to paralyze Hisoka's wrist when he wanted to use the moment of "distraction" to grab hold of my arm. 'I won't kill you for wanting to distract me even more if you will let me paralyze you until I'm done.' He plucked the needle out of his wrist, but I didn't take it back. He raised his hands in innocence.

'Just my arms and jaw should suffice, shouldn't it?' I didn't hesitate for a second. When he started talking again, I shot the needles on the right places in his body, fixating his body like that of a puppets of how he last was standing.

I looked at him for another second before making the demand.

'If I see you again with this kind of intent outside of the intended room, I will take care of you the way I was taught by my parents, not by you. ' I turned back to the work at hand. Someone like Hisoka pushing the boundaries is a problem. Mah, I shouldn't have expected differently from him.

Either way, when the sex happens away from the mission, it really doesn't affect me. I noticed very early on. After a couple of weeks he suddenly showed up again, and noticed that the boundary for my body wanting to let go in his presence had decreased significantly. I'd resisted though. Hisoka is still a dangerous presence, and I need some kind of control even while we're having sex.

But he sometimes purposely pushes me to lose control completely and use that power, he's playing with his own life when does so. I appreciate the feeling while it happens, but as long as it's not needed to relieve otherwise stubborn stress, I don't appreciate the aftermath – I attract too much attention with it, and all mental function is shut down. That aftermath is only acceptable when I'm on my own, most certainly not with Hisoka.

The smell of battle together with agitation is a strong trigger though. It's only been a couple of days this time, he's most probably merely here to annoy me so I'll give him more. That's alright, I have a remote place I'm staying at this time. But Hisoka needs to be conditioned as well.

I can't say I ever expected to get used to or even… like, any activity besides my job though. It would be a shame if Hisoka would mess up the agreement.

'Do you want to be able to talk now? Or should I continue on your hand some more?' I cocked my head when I looked back at the face of regret. 'Or do you prefer electricity? I'm guessing with your aggravated nerves, that it should feel slightly more intense.' He closed his eyes for a while, taking a couple of hitched breaths from crying. When he opened them again, I took the pin out that fixated movement on his neck, and he nodded. 'You can scream all you want, you have realized that won't do anything for you, haven't you.' He gave another shaky nod before I released his jaw as well. Taking a couple of deep breaths as if he hadn't been able to breathe through his nose, he didn't look back up at me. 'Do I need to pad your teeth, or are you refraining from biting your tongue off as well?' I cocked my head, but he shook his, 'Ah, that's good to hear, it'll save both of us a lot of trouble that you're finally cooperating.' I said with a happy voice, and I saw him shiver when he heard the tone. It would've been even easier if I'd been allowed to use nen on him, but the suffering of my target had been a request as well – the more, the higher the pay.

'You're going to sign over all your belonging to my client, you're going to give me all the blackmail you have on him, or I will kill you right here. Which of these sounds most appealing to you?' His breathing calmed down in the moments of silence he got from me. Considering he was struggling to make the decision this much, he was most probably going to choose…

'Please just kill me.' …the latter.

'Ah, that won't do. I'm sorry, you didn't have the choice.' I pressed the button and let a new jolt of electricity run through him. 'You're going to tell me of the blackmail you have on him – after that you're allowed to die.' I heard him getting angry, 'You know that it's my purpose to make you hate me, I suggest you spare your breath and skip the cursing. You're only making it harder on yourself.' I lifted his chin again, and pinned his neck muscles once more.

'Allow me to move my eyes, and I'll—'

'Making demands?' I blinked at him, to me it was an incomprehensible request. 'You seem aware of the danger of the man behind me, and you still believe I will listen to demands from someone like-'

'I know what Hisoka's planning.' I sighed lightly to myself when he interrupted me.

'No you don't. You know his name because I mentioned it earlier, and it wasn't hard to deduce from our conversations that he's keeping secrets. Even if you did know of his plans, I would only increase your torture. You are not a smart man.'

'… …' When there was no direct action from him to that, I picked the needle from his hand and forced it down through his collarbone into his body. 'I'm not telling you anything!'

'That is kind of a weak response, don't you think?' I grabbed his jaw when he felt like biting down again. Not on his tongue though, so I reached inside his mouth and removed the molars that could contain poison. 'You can still talk this way. I thought you were going to be cooperative from now, but apparently you lied.' I released his jaw when I was done.

'I-'

'Yes, are you going to say something useful now?'

Although in the end Hisoka had released himself from the needles by stopping the ones in his arm a little with his nen, he'd stayed quiet until I'd gotten all the information needed, and killed him by pushing my nails through his neck. After removing all the pins, I'd left the premises with my surveillance after Hisoka had courteously returned the pins I'd put inside of him.

Naturally he'd still followed me to my room. Now that it was after mission I did not particularly care anymore, but his attitude needs to be corrected. He needs to be trained himself, no matter what kind of pet he has in mind.

'What gives you the idea you're still welcome?' I asked as soon as I stepped inside the room through the window, Hisoka following me close behind.

'Oh? Haven't I conditioned you yet that this is supposed to happen after mission?'

'Like I said before, that does not work if I'm aware of what you're doing.' I responded when he approached me from behind, and gently pulled my hair out of the way to kiss my neck. He refrained from doing so though when pins were pushed against his thigh. Now that we were away from my mission, I had no problem with making it clear that pushing boundaries was unwanted outside of the bedroom.

'Mentally that may be the truth, but your body seems to think otherwise. Your pulse has increased slightly.'

'Which will stop doing so the moment you step away.'

'But I feel so flattered that I'm so special to you that I can increase your beats per minute in anticipation.'

'If you do something now, you will either lose a limb, or you will become unable to find me. Choose wisely.' Those were the most prominent things I knew of to threaten him with. Killua will have to be taken back to the mansion if I have to enforce either of these things though, he would definitely go after him.

I stepped away from him and untied my hair. Hisoka momentarily distracted,

'You always say there's a choice, but there never really is, is there.'

'Same is with you.'

'You want me to give you an excuse to stay away from me. I feel even more flattered now.' I took my shirt off and threw it on the small desk before turning back around to him. His eyes slitted some more, absentmindedly licking his lips before removing his own shirt as well. Like I thought, he doesn't care about the consequences, he believes he will be able to find me again in the future anyway.

It's hard to train a stubborn dog like Hisoka.

'I don't pretend to understand what you see as flattery, but you wanted to do something? That's going to be hard with your pants on.' He let out a low chuckle when he heard those words, and layed a hand on his hip.

'Why don't you take the lead tonight?' I cocked my head hearing him say that, but didn't let it be told twice. I took one step closer and grabbed his arm, slinging him onto the bed. Since we were going to do this anyway, I crawled over him onto the bed immediately.

I was wary though, so I paused a moment, hovering my face just above his. He's more pleased with himself than he normally is.

'Need a bit more help getting there? You just want to get it over with so you can never be found again, right?' He reached his hands down, and opened my pants, but I didn't let him do more than that.

I grabbed his upper arms and pinned them beside him, immediately setting my teeth in his flesh just below his collarbone. I pulled on it, slowly protruding the skin, feeling the small drops of blood drip past my lips. I closed my eyes and alternated pressure to draw more blood from it, licking this up. My nails started to dig in his arms when I felt his moan vibrate past my lips. Might as well do this first while in this instinct. I will increase my stealth afterwards so he will be glad when he can find me at all, and merely the sex will be enough for him again.

'Hmm~ yes, I think I like this side of you.' I ignored his words, and let go of his arms, gliding them to his chest. I took another lick of blood before trailing my tongue up to his lips. Already eagerly awaiting, he flicked out his and twirled it around mine, drawing me into his mouth, pulling me as far as I could go. I positioned myself a bit further up his abdomen for convenience, his fingertips traveling up my thighs to my ass. I moaned into the kiss when I felt his teeth biting down on my tongue. I pulled away a little to increase that feeling, taking a deep breath before I was let go and allowed to go for his neck. A lot of things have changed since I admitted to Hisoka I apparently had a specific attraction to him for some reason, but what hadn't, was that the smell of blood in this state of mind made it difficult for me to control myself. I relied on Hisoka to stop me when I'd start to absorb his flesh. Considering this was beneficial for his survival, this was something he could be trusted with.

I pushed back into his hands when he started kneading the flesh, and he inclined his head to be able to lick me along the neck up to my ear. He grazed his teeth along my skin, sending signals down for me when hearing his heavier becoming breathing so close. Tonight was going to be harder to contain myself, he'd agitated me more than previous times. So when he slid his hands under the hem of my pants and pulled them down, I stopped softly biting his neck and ear before that would get out of hand. Instead, I sat back up on my knees, pulling Hisoka with me by his hair, forcing him against my chest. I flipped my hair to one side when I noticed he didn't waste the time and slid one hand underneath me in between my cheeks. My arms finding their way around his shoulders, he set his teeth in my nipple the same time one of his fingers slid in. I closed my eyes and let my head fall on his when a gasp escaped me.

His free hand slid around my torso and scratched into my skin. I felt myself grow in between us when he drew some more blood. His hand almost trembling in the need tonight. This night, it's so important to yo-

'Aah..!' I let out in the mess of red hair beneath me when he found the right spot inside of me, and ushered him to do it again.

When he wouldn't and instead pulled out, my hand relocated to around his neck, and slowly started to increase the grip – he had to use his nen not to get choked, and I whispered,

'You're getting inside of me again right now.' I felt a shiver travel through his skin before his hands retreated to himself, and he opened his pants. I pushed him away just the slightest to witness the act, Hisoka looking nowhere else but to me. Was I losing control, or was I merely annoyed by tonight?

I released my grip enough for him to speak up when I noticed he wanted to do so.

'I think it will need a bit more work though.' I slid my pants further down so I could kick it off before spreading my knees over him so that I was sitting on his legs, taking both our hardening erections in my free hand. I leaned my forehead against his, both of us breathing out heavily when I stroke along the lengths. It didn't take long for his hands to claw in the flesh of my hips – but I never let go of his neck completely.

Closing my eyes, I had to force myself not to set my nails in that part of us. Hisoka pushed against his restraint after a small while, and bit down on my bottom lip, pulling me with him. Inclining my head, I could hear the excitement in his trembling breaths, and I stopped my hand, instead hovering above his lips when he'd let go. My breaths were shallow, my mind far away in the back, I could feel aura seeping out… but Hisoka wasn't stopping me, and it was becoming impossible for me to.

How in love are you with this power that you're risking your life for it.

'Hmm~ I think now it's very much possible.' Once the whispered words had left his lips, I lifted and lowered myself over him, my hand finally gliding away to his shoulder and down over the wound I'd created earlier. I clutched my nails in the skin surrounding it, wanting to tear it out, Hisoka's loud groan the only thing distracting me from doing just that. My other hand slipped into his hair at the back of his neck, and clutched it tightly in between my fingers.

I wanted to lift and lower myself to start finding the right position again, but it was at this point that Hisoka stopped me. He increased the grip on my hips and kept me down.

When I opened my eyes again to protest against this, the first thing I noticed was that he hadn't succeeded in shielding himself from me completely; the second thing I noticed was when he nudged towards the ringing sound with a grin.

'Shouldn't you get that?'

A/N

Ohoho, and I'm being mean right off the bat, aren't I xD
I'm still getting used to this different tempo again, after y'know, writing a 250k psychological story with slightly less sex xD
(I'll get the hang of it though)
(I'm just glad that the move into my new room is finally over and I can just focus on getting a job and writing)

But I had so much fun torturing, you have no idea. I could write an entire fic merely about Illumi torturing someone and I'd have fun from start to finish 8D

To Kuronue: You are exactly right. I think Chrollo would enjoy misleading/screwing over Hisoka after everything that's happened, and I damn well love writing him like that (somehow for me, Chrollo will be seme with almost everyone, so him having the upper hand with Hisoka feels very natural to me xD)

To Wakama: Welcome! Hope you'll enjoy this as well 8D
