A/N

\o/
This is a sequel to Will you Illuminate me, and although you can read this without reading that first, I'm not explaining events happened in that story, and it may get confusing, or references will go unseen.
You're all free to read this, and I'm always available for explanations if you're only reading this and not the prequel. This is just me saying that I'm writing it as a direct continuation and there will be no explanations unless I get your PM (o^_^o)

All the warnings that applied for Illuminate count here as well; I will warn every time there will be violence or something else that might shock you, so don't be afraid, I know not all of you are waiting for everything that resides in the recesses of my mind ^_^;

I hope you will enjoy all of it though. I hope you'll have as much fun reading it as I have cackling while writing it in public places (mostly in the train), so let's get to it (~^.^)~

(and yes, I'm pretending they didn't immediately go into the Chimera ant arc after Greed island)

'Hmm~ thank you for this wonderful performance.' I cooed in his ear, letting go of the firm grip I'd had in his hair. Illumi let his head fall in the sheets face first before turning his head and responding like he always did after it was over,

'Please remove yourself if you're done.' Though the "please" was more of a death threat than a request.

'Most certainly.' I leaned back up, and let my hands glide over his back along his hips before pulling out and letting go. I licked my lips when he stood up and saw the cum oozing out. He shook his hair back before leaving for the bathroom for a while, leaving me sitting on the bed. Although from behind is not my preferred position - because of the whole act I love Illumi's expressions the most – tonight I'd perhaps been a bit more eager than other times.

I raked my own hair back as well with the clean hand and let out a content groan.

A lot of things have changed since Illumi admitted he apparently had a specific attraction to me. That had been part effort, part luck, to be honest. I can't take all the credit for that. He was the one to take the job, he was the one to come to me for assistance on this – logically it had only partly made sense to approach me for this. Naturally have I proven to have the skills necessary, but in his normal state of mind he would never have allowed danger to get this close.

From the moment he called me I'd actually already won the battle, it had only been a matter of pushing the right buttons after. That Illumi actually still had the possibility inside of him to feel this kind of attraction had been the biggest surprise. The beast inside of him is apparently itching to get out.

'We should get a pet.' I spoke up when he returned from the bathroom. Can I say that one of the other surprises had been that he allowed me to be there in his room after every mission? Considering his personality it's not strange, but I enjoy the little victory more than I thought I would.

Well, of course he hadn't allowed the situation immediately, there had been some… resistance at first.

'Since when are you interested in bestiality as well? Although concerning you, it really shouldn't surprise me.' I shuffled to the edge of the bed, putting my feet on the ground, and followed him around the room while he started searching for his clothes. He threw away another torn shirt without second thought. Well, everything is a lot more in one piece than the first time I showed up again.

'You're making a joke? The assassination must have gone very well then.' I do believe I walked away from that first time with pieces of skin missing. But maybe that had merely been the fault of waiting too long to contact him after – he'd been a bit too eager to let himself go again. I don't think his family appreciates this change of mindset though.

'Isn't Gon your pet already anyway?' I laughed softly when I heard another joke. He doesn't care anymore at this point, he merely sees me as a ways to let himself go in every way he can't in his profession. Makes one believe that his stoic state of mind is indeed the fabricated one, and that his animalistic side has been repressed for the sake of his profession. Of how much of this is he aware himself though, and how much does he simply accept as fact. That's the game.

'You just keep on giving tonight… But hmm~ yes, that is very much true. However, considering how much time we spend together, don't you think a pet would be nice?' Finding out if he's aware of this is not interesting, but finding out the extent of his power when brutal is. And for that, I will slowly drive him closer to the edge. Oh~ all the things he could do if he could control the extent of his killing aura. I want to learn about it, I want to teach you~

I gave him a small grin when he noticed the intensity of attention of him. He always knows when I'm playing some kind of game.

He rarely knows what kind of game though.

'Bring whatever animal you like. As long as it doesn't hinder me, I don't care. Same goes for whatever plan is brewing in the back of your mind.' I let my grin grow wider before he continued preparing to leave. '…and in the middle of your groin.' Goodness how I love your shamelessness.

'What kind of animal should we take though…' I leaned back a bit more, keeping close watch. I am so very glad the items I need for Chrollo are very hard to break, else this little game would've ended before it'd started. The Kurta has become very elusive ever since taking the second item with him. On top of that, there's no guarantee he has it on his person. It's more fun because of his intelligence, but also more troublesome.

'It doesn't matter whatever animal comes under your care.'

'Such faith in my caretaking skills.' Although Chrollo already has use over his nen again, I am willing to postpone the fight until he's used these items. He knew beforehand that I'd do this, but it's of no disadvantage for me. I'll let him continue the search for now, and I will work on this front. I'll notice the results of his search when he searches out contact again concerning the first item in my hands.

'Based on previously observed evidence – you don't care about animals. Even though it's most probably just a joke on how our interaction has changed, I'm not helping you train it either way.' Well, I can't deny that it indeed started as a joke, but now I'm inclined to buy a pet either way. Although Illumi has a point, I do appreciate actual humans more than animals.

'Alright, I'll surprise you then.' He stopped in front of me to stare me down when he noticed the mirth in my voice. No matter when or how, surprises are Illumi's worst enemy – especially unnecessary ones such as these. I tilted my head back and to the side a little, not decreasing my amusement in the least, 'Don't worry, it won't inconvenience you. Consider it your birthday gift to me.' Because we were still close to the act, I was able to discern annoyance in his eyes. Although by now it's come to the point where he accepts me in the room after every mission - he is a solitary man, and any and all unnecessary human interaction is looked down upon. Quite literally at the moment, actually.

'Putting up with you isn't enough of a gift?' I laughed when I heard the sarcasm. I like you so much more when we're in this room together. But it's only because it's in such stark contrast with how you normally are that it enchants me, isn't it.

'Well that's more of a give and take situation, isn't it.' I had to admit though, that tonight I'd taken more than given. Mmm~ but it'd been so long since the last time. I have become slightly addicted to your scent, Illumi-kun.

'True.' He shrugged it off in the end and gathered his final equipment. I stood up at that point, and watched him tie his hair up for convenience before leaving the window without goodbye. I think I like it that a simple thing such as tying his hair back has stuck with him. I stood looking out the window a little longer, lingering on that pleasant feeling. Of course Illumi had disappeared the moment he left the window though. I licked my lips again and closed my eyes, taking a deep breath,

'Ooh~ Illumi-kun, you have no idea how deeply you involved yourself in this plan of ours.' It hadn't even been my intention, but a couple of words from Chrollo were all that had been needed.

"I need to know more about that power of Illumi's."

I hadn't even had to ask why – I'd understood, and I'd gladly accepted this change in mission.

Coincidence or not, this is the best discovery I've made since Gon.

Ah, speaking of which, I need to make sure when looking for the second item the Troupe leaves him alive if he's anywhere near Kurapika. Which, knowing him, he will most probably be in a strange sense of wanting to protect his friend.

Killua-kun is the real problem here though. If someone lays a hand on him in any of this, I'm sure Illumi will have my head.

'Mmm~ prolonged pleasure, really is the most satisfactory.' When I started to walk around the room in search for my own clothes, I noticed that they'd survived a little less well… I picked up the garments one after the other, giving them a disappointed look before grinning again at the reminiscence of the moments when they were torn apart.

'In a couple of weeks, you won't want to revert back to your stoic self, I'll make sure of that.' I don't think I mind risking Zoldyck wrath for that.

I threw the garments aside in favor of calling Chrollo right away.

'I know you like playing with your life, but I thought you wanted to stay alive long enough to fight Gon?' I turned around when I heard the leader's voice behind me. Merely an hour after my pleasant meeting with Illumi, Chrollo had asked to meet me. This was rare, but most probably just because he'd been in the neighborhood. I hadn't even been able to make my request when I'd called him, but still tonight was an exciting night, I haven't had the pleasure of being in the Leader's physical presence since he gave the "order".

'Oh don't worry, I have a healer for this.' I held the hand up which he'd gestured at, missing a piece of skin on the back exposing the tendons. For this meeting, I hadn't minded postponing my healing session – I'll take care of that tomorrow.

'Quite the healer then.'

'Yes they are. But for what reason are we having this little meeting today?' I lowered my hand again, and he pocketed his. For now I made sure to hide the wound.

'I need a set date for your success.'

'Oh~?' Well this was interesting. Suddenly there's haste behind it?

'You don't need to know why. But I know of your tendency to drag things along when they're interesting to you. You're going to give me date.' Well I can't deny that I do,

'Is there reason for me to oblige to this then?' He laughed a bit mockingly at the question, and my smile dropped, but he still answered,

'If we can't agree on a date I will carry this out on my own, and you can start over with trying to find me.' I felt my mood drop like a brick hearing him say that. Although I have leverage with my healer, I don't have any with Chrollo – he holds all the cards. He can do all he wants without the experiment on Illumi, it's merely preferred with the experiment done.

'You drive a hard bargain.' I reacted eventually.

'This is not a bargain, you seem to realize this very well.' That was definitely a mock in his smile. I deliberated a second before giving my offer,

'Alright then. I am certain I can have him tame in four weeks, how does this sound to you?'

'Acceptable. If I don't have results within that time, I will carry on on my own. Have a good night.' He disappeared seconds later, giving me a short nod goodbye. Just when I'm enjoying myself so much, he tells me this. You keep depriving me from my pleasure, Chrollo, it's only because you're worth the wait that I'm putting up with this.

I like to play my games hard anyway.

I HAVE STARTED

*pops out baloons and confetti and pours champagne/whatever drink you like into champagne glasses*

This will have both Illumi's and Hisoka's pov's, and as always a line always indicates a timejump, and most of the times also a POV switch, and I will make sure to have it clear who's POV you're reading.

If there's a POV switch without a timejump, there will be this: ###

Updates will be every monday (you guys are making me ace material for publishers with reaching deadlines) until I've finished Eyes wide open - after that I'll see how my life is.

AND THERE WE GO
ALL ABOARD!
*blows train whistle to lure you back in*

Oh! Right! The warnings,
**violence next chapter**
(this is so weird to do)

Ps.
Title chosen because this chapter happened once the song entered my ears, and in my head it works perfectly with my plans xD
