The sun was going down, painting the sky with deep hues of orange and red. In a somewhat open field with a single tree, a tall, thin man stood facing a little boy.
Hisoka, with his usual sinister grin, waited for his opponent to attack. Fang, a small figure drenched in rage, breathed heavily as he stood across from Hisoka.
His dark red hair, fiery eyes, slightly flushed face, bloody mouth, and colorful red and green shirt made him look like a demon in the body of a child.
"It's back! MY RAGE AND ANGER IS BACK!" Fang yelled, his voice filled with unbridled fury. *Huff Huff*
Hisoka's smile widened. The boy's aura was impressive, but his wild, unrefined energy promised a reckless fight.
Fang released his Ken, and the ground beneath him cracked slightly under the pressure. If Fang's Ken at full power was a 1, and his previous Ken before eating the chili pepper was a 1,5, then now his Ken surged to an overwhelming 3.
"KILL KILL KILL!!!!!!" Fang roared, rushing at Hisoka with wild bloodlust.
*Whack!* Hisoka's fist met Fang's face, sending the boy flying backward. But Fang quickly scrambled to his feet, the pain only fueling his anger. Without hesitation, he charged again.
*Whack!* Another strike from Hisoka sent Fang crashing to the ground, his nose now broken, blood streaming from his nostrils and mouth. But Fang barely noticed. He was consumed by rage, his desire to kill overriding any sense of pain or strategy.
*ROAR!* Fang bellowed like a wild animal, his attacks becoming more erratic and forceful. His hands, now curled into claws, swiped violently at Hisoka, who easily dodged and sidestepped the wild strikes.
Fang chargin and Hisoka dodging and counter punching him repeated a few times until Hisoka, with a fluid grace, retreated toward the lone tree, baiting Fang to follow.
Fang, in a blind fury, fell for the bait. He lunged at the tree, obliterating it with a single, unrestrained punch.
*Crack* The massive tree splintered and toppled, but Hisoka was already behind Fang, moving with lightning speed.
*Snap!* Hisoka wrapped his arms around Fang from behind, locking him into a full-body chokehold.
Hisoka's arms squeezed tightly around Fang's neck, cutting off his air supply, while his legs coiled around the boy's small body, immobilizing him completely.
"HRGGAAAAA!" Fang thrashed wildly, trying to free himself. He clawed at Hisoka's arms and bit into his arms, but his short limbs couldn't reach Hisoka's body and his arms soon were covered with Bungee Gum.
This stopped Fang also from biting him anymore. Fang was truly helpless. His legs kicked futilely, unable to break free from the deadly hold.
Hisoka whispered into Fang's ear, his voice dripping with sinister pleasure."It's over. I had fun! But in the end... You weren't a hero, but a demon."
Fang's face began to turn blue, then purple, as his air was cut off. Tears welled up in his eyes, but they were not tears of fear—rather, they were tears of regret.
Regret of every fighting Hisoka and regret of using his half finished Nen ability.
Hisoka demonic smile widened even more and whispered once more "After I'm done with you, I can't wait to kill your friend Togiri!" Hisoka sneered. "I hope he's as fun as you!"
*WHACK CRACK!*
Suddenly, Hisoka's expression twisted in pain as he felt a sharp, agonizing sensation in his stomach.
*Splurgh* Blood poured from Hisoka's mouth as he coughed violently. Hisoka released Fang from his grip and turned on his stomach coughing out extremes amount of blood.
"..." The boy was laying on his back not moving, his purple face remained the same.
*...cough* Fang started gasping for breath and his natural face color slowly returned. He slowly stood up, but with a small, victorious smile on his face.
"I... I now understand why Togiri said to run away when I see you," Fang muttered, his voice weak but filled with satisfaction. His smile brightened despite the blood and wounds covering his small body.
His ribs broken, his nose and litters of blood spilled out of his stomach, but his blue eyes sparkled brighter than ever like the stars in the sky above him.
A few seconds earlier just before Hisoka had fully choked him out, Fang's dark red hair had faded back to its original fiery color.
His ocean-deep blue eyes, filled with kindness and determination, returned. Using the last of his strength, Fang had used KO to strike himself in the stomach, creating an internal shockwave that had reverberated into Hisoka, catching the bloodthirsty killer off guard.
Hisoka, so focused on subduing Fang, hadn't noticed the shift. The unexpected counterstrike hit him hard, the blow amplified by Fang's earlier aura enhancement that was about to run out and his determination to die.
Blood gushed from Fang's chest. His arms, face, and chest were bruised and battered, but the most horrific injury was the fist-sized hole in his stomach. His shattered ribcage was exposed, and his liver, punctured and hanging on by a thread, spilled blood onto the wet grass.
Yet, despite his gruesome injuries, Fang stood tall—a horrifying, tragic figure that could send shivers down anyone's spine.
That was the first time the little boy and the tall man were on the same eye level.
"I won't see Togiri become the strongest or my sister grow up," Fang said softly as he was at the end of his life, his voice filled with a strange calmness. "But I know Togiri will stop you..."
His blue eyes glimmered with a mix of sadness and acceptance. Hisoka, usually so cruel and detached, found himself momentarily silenced as he didn't see many that outbested him or was this calm before his death
Hisoka sighed, a rare moment of sincerity in his voice. "I give up. I'll let you go. I can't kill a child who's already accepted death."
Fang, barely able to stand, was stunned by Hisoka's words. He bowed slightly, the motion almost making him collapse and letting his organs split out of his stomach.
"Thank you," he whispered, his voice filled with a blend of relief and exhaustion.
Fang turned his back to Hisoka and was about to take a step as Hisoka lunged at him.
"HAHAHA!" Just before Hisokas hands reached his neck, Fang turned around and delivered a last punch using KO. *Wham*
Fang's punch landed softly on Hisokas stomach
"HAHAHA" Hisoka's sinister laugh echoed through the night as he suddenly gripped Fang's neck lifting him up with one hand.
Hisoka tightening his hold with Bungee Gum. The sticky, elastic substance wrapped around Fang's body, immobilizing him completely. Fang struggled, his last strength on the verge death, made with move slightly in desperation, but there was no escape.
"Hahahahaha," Hisoka cackled, his voice dripping with malevolent glee. "First, I'll kill you, then your friend Togiri, and then... at last, your sister! BAHAHAHAHA!"
Fang's eyes filled with tears of despair, his body trembling as Hisoka tightened his grip. "*Ah~* This desperation. This helplessness. I- Almost- *Crack* CAN'T!!" Hisoka's pleasure reached the peak.
Fang's body went limp, his eyes dimming as Hisoka released his grip and his cold body *thud* hit the ground lying in the wet bloody grass.
Hisoka moaned in ecstasy, savoring the moment. "This feeling! This pleasure!" His body shuddered as hugged himself.
Hisoka stood over the boy's corpse, his sinister smile widening as he contemplated his next move. "Now, should I go eat the main dish or wait for later and eat some more side dishes? AHAHAHAhhahahahah!"
His laughter echoed through the night as he walked away, leaving behind the lifeless body of Fang, whose bright red hair was now matted with blood, lying in the darkening field. The beautiful yellow-orange sky, now drenched in red and black, bore witness to the tragedy.
