What happened previously;
Suddenly the sound of a button clicking cut through the tense silence as Rohan's eyes dilated, the pages moving on their own as pink Stand aura emerged from behind one.
A tiny hand slipped out, wearing black gloves, with only their light pink thumb being exposed as the page flipped entire, revealing a miniature Killer Queen glaring at Rohan.
"KILLER QUEEN'S THIRD BOMB; BITES THE DUST!!!!!"
"HEAVEN'S DOOR!"
With incredible speed Heaven's door flew towards Hayato, ready to punch Killer Queen only to faze through the cat-like Stand, startling Rohan as he was unable to touch the enemy Stand.
"ROHAN KISHIBE, KILLER QUEEN IS ALREADY INSIDE YOUR EYE! THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE SEEING!!" the voice explained as Killer Queen appeared inside Rohan's iris, being inside the manga artist. "THE SWITCH FOR KILLER QUEEN'S THIRD BOMB HAS ALREADY BEEN ACTIVATED!!"
The explosion went off.
Crimson liquid splattered everywhere, destroying Rohan's back as his face contorted into one of shock as one of his signature pen earrings fell to the wet sidewalk.
Stumbling a few steps back from the impact of the internal explosion, Rohan fell back weakly on top of the entrance stairs of the next house...
"KILLER QUEEN'S THIRD ABILITY: IT IS A BOMB TO BLOW AWAY ANYONE WHO TRIED TO COME AFTER ME! IT WILL ACTIVATE IN ANYONE WHO TRIES TO GET CLOSE TO HAYATO IN ORDER TO LEARN ABOUT ME. IT WILL ALSO ACTIVATE IF HAYATO HAPPENS TO VERBALLY REVEAL MY IDENTITY, AND IF HE WRITES IT DOWN IT WILL ACTIVATE IMMEDIATELY: WHICH MEANS IT IS A BOMB I IMPLANTED IN HAYATO!"
Bites the Dust Part 2
"C-Come to think of it," Rohan whispered, his emerald eyes wide as he put his hand on the green steel railing. "I finally... found out Yoshikage Kira's identity..." He muttered weakly, trying to push himself back up, sweating as he felt his insides having been ripped apart as blood tickled out of the corner of his mouth, while the rain drenched the manga artist entirely. "Koichi is coming. I have to tell him..."
His vision began to blur as he noticed two familiar silhouettes walking around the corner. One was the frame of a small tray haired teenage boy, who held up his brown leather school back right above his head to shield himself from the heavy downpour, right behind him towered the stature of Jotaro Kujo, in his usual white attire and hat, as his hands were shoved deep inside the coat's pockets.
"I--- I finally found him..." Rohan groaned as he tried to move forward, knee falling on the wet pavement as he tried to support himself with his right arm, his usually sleek green hair falling himi into his in horror contorted face messily. "Yoshikage Kira is Kosaku Kawajiri." He breathed out raggedly, as he tried to reach for the unaware men. "Koichi..." He groaned as suddenly Killer Queen appeared in front of him making him flinch back.
"AND NOW; THIS IS THE REAL THIRD ABILITY OF KILLER QUEEN!" It announced as the pages on Hayato's face began to disappear entirely, making the boy wake up again slowly as-
A meek click went off.
Suddenly, blood splattered out of Rohan's body, ripping him apart with tremendous force as cracks started appearing on his face. "K-KOICHI!" He screamed desperately as the loud and terrifying explosion went off, erupting in bright, horrendous flames and menacing black smoke as the body of the manga artist begun to disintegrate.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hayato screamed on top of his lungs as the image burned itself into the eyes of the young grade school student.
-
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hayato shouted, thrashing around as he opened his eyes.
He was back at is room, wrapped inside the navy blue blanket of his bed, facing his desk with his school utensils and TV, noticing his bright green school bag resting on his chair.
Gasping, he looked around in terror, breathing heavily as he realized that he was back in his room back at his home. The familiarity was horrifying, to his right the dark bookshelf, to his left his nightstand with his red and white striped lamp and clock and his clothes and papers that were tossed to the ground messily the day prior. The early morning sun was falling through the window innocently, not portraying any of the horrors that the young boy just experienced. Hayato himself was back inside his blue pajamas, hazel eyes full of fear as they darted over to his alarm clock, hearing the sweet chirping of the morning birds.
7:30 A.M.
"I-It was a dream?" The boy whispered breathlessly, walking over to his window, pulling up the green curtains...
I could not sleep very well last night. He recalled, touching the brown window frame, staring at the white house across the road with the red roof where Yua and her lover lived only a few days before.
He dressed himself as he pulled out the video tape from his pockets. I kept having these weird dreams...
"Hayato!" He could hear the faint voice of his mother yelling outside his room, catching his attention. "Are you planning to sleep all day, Hayato?" She begun to scold him, opening the door. "Hurry up and wake-" She stopped, looking at her son. "What, you are already awake?" She questioned in surprise.
"That is a surprise. Hayato, breakfast is ready." She informed him, mumbling. "Honestly, why don't you ever answer me?" She complained lightly, closing the door as her son stared after her silently.
-
Back inside the living room, Shinobu was staring at her beloved tea set while Hayato found his place at the table ready for breakfast as he heard the daily news reporter of Morioh coughing violently on TV.
"What? No way! We are on air already?" The reporter panicked.
"D-Didn't this..." Hayato realized. "Th-This morning TV program...."
In that moment the telephone began ringing as Shinobu was pouring coffee inside the coffee pot, calling out for her son: "Hayato! Hey, Hayato! Answer the phone."
Flinching, Hayato began to sweat nervously, realizing: TH-This is not a dream... He concluded staring at Kira fixing his tie in front of the mirror. What I just saw was not a dream. Th-This is the same morning! It is repeating! Today's morning is repeating again! Yoshikage Kira... His name is Yoshikage Kira! He is doing this! This is the unrivaled ability he was talking about, and he planted that inside me!
"Hayato! I asked you to answer the phone!" Shinobu shouted annoyed, putting the lid on the pot, jogging over to him as Hayato's mind started to race.
Oh yeah! He realized, seeing that his mother was about to slip on the lavender colored carpet, falling.
"Look out!" Hayato warned, jumping off his chair quickly to catch the coffee pot as Shinobu caught herself on the table as her son set the delicate porcelain back on the table safely.
"... That was a nice catch." Shinobu commented, trying to calm her racing heart. "IT was almost as if you knew it was going to fall." She pointed out before catching onto the nagging ringing in the background. "But if you can hear me, you could at least answer!" She scolded, rushing over to the telephone.
"Hello, Kawajiri residence." She greeted politely.
"Good morning Mrs Kawajiri." You answered as her hazel eyes widened in recognition. "I am not sure if you remember me, but I lived across from you just yesterday." You pointed out as she hummed in acknowledgement. "Since I plan on moving out, I would be honored if you would let me have a proper farewell, so if it is alright with you, could I come over after you have finished breakfast? I promise it will be quick. But only if it not an inconvenience, I realize I informed you way too shortly and you must think of me as being very rude-" You started apologizing calmly as Shinobu waved her hands around frantically.
"No, no. It is fine. I am ju-just a bit surprised" She stuttered. "But I am happy that you want to say goodbye, since we were not that close." She smiled lightly.
"Yes, sadly." You apologized. "You seemed like a very lovely person, I would have liked to get to know you better as well." You smiled.
"If you have time, you could head over in a bit. My son and husband will then be off to school and work, and I get the chance to clean up the kitchen a bit, I just stumbled and nearly knocked over my pot of coffee, but Hayato managed to catch it surprisingly." She laughed sheepishly as she heard you gasp.
"Are you alright?" You questioned as she only waved you off.
"Yes, thankfully." She snickered as you relaxed. "Then I see you in about fifteen minutes?" She questioned. "Have you eaten already?"
"I am fine; I would not want to burden you." You laughed. "Then I will see you shortly. Again I humbly apologize; it is just that I have a meeting already at half, so I am afraid it would be my only opportunity."
"It is alright Miss Y/N L/N." She waved you off again. "See you later."
It appears I am the only one in the world who is aware that this morning is repeating. Hayato listened to the conversation intently, noticing that everything transpired just like it did previously. Staring at his tiny hands he started trembling as suddenly the presence of Kira made itself known behind him.
"It is almost as if you knew, huh?" Kira repeated mockingly as he towered behind the terrified boy as he reached for the tea pot.
"Apparently you blew someone up and came back, Hayato." He stated coldly, smirking as he began pouring himself a cup of coffee. "Not, really. I do not know exactly what you have done." He muttered, putting his hand on his hips. "This is called Killer Queen Bites the Dust, and it automatically protects me...from inside you, Hayato." He trailed off, taking his cup in his right hand, pitch black eyes drilling themselves into Hayato's. "Did you know that I already killed you once last night?" Kira smirked coldly, memories flashing in front of his eyes, remembering Hayato's cold corpse hidden inside the cupboard inside the bathroom. "As though as it was trying to remedy the despair I was feeling from the situation I was in, I gained a brand new ability." He informed the boy, recalling how the Stand arrow pierced him for a second tie enveloping in crimson black aura. "By using that ability on you, time went back an hour and the fact that I killed you disappeared." HE explained. "At the same time, you became a bomb to protect me. You told someone about me and the bomb activated and then you came back. Who did you blow away, hmmm? Come on, tell me." He taunted the trembling child. "Who did you kill?"
"I-I did not tell anyone..." Hayato stuttered terrified, staring at his hands, his lower lips quivering.
"I see! Then someone must have been asking you questions. But it could not have been my darling Y/N right? Since she will come to this house, isn't that correct? So it must be that Rohan Kishibe. Even if you have no intention of telling anyone, as soon as someone asks you about me, Bites the Dust will activate. And then you will blow him up and come back. The very fact that Rohan Kishibe encountered you has disappeared! That is Killer Queen Bites the Dust. You will not be able to tell anyone. There will be no one who can ask you anything!" Kira smirked victoriously as he saw the last flicker of hope draining from the boy.
-
July 16th (Fri), 7:57 AM:
"Very well done." Kira praised the boy, putting his hands on his shoulders. "You protected me from that nuisance Rohan." He chuckled evilly as Shinobu hung up the phone smiling brightly.
I just have to make sure Hayato does not encounter my darling Y/N first. Kira turned serious. She would be able to survive Bites the Dust, and might find a way to relay information among. But since Hayato does not have the slightest idea of her abilities he would naturally stray far away from her. And it is not like he will just run into her by accident since Y/N will come to our house and I will make sure he will not be here when she arrives.
"Now then... I guess I will head to work so I can make my precious family happy." Kira stated slyly, walking over to Shinobu. "I heard Miss L/N will come over later? Then we would not want to disturb you two, get along, alright? But first, do you mind if I give you a goodbye kiss?" He asked, taking Shinobu's and in his own as both leaned closer.
I don't want to do this, but I cannot have Shinobu questioning why I want the two of them to get along. Forgive me Y/N, but I am sure you would not mind. Kira thought as he saw a rosy blush bloom on Shinobu's face.
Hayato, however, watched the two, clenching his fists in disgust as Shinobu suddenly flinched back hearing a loud crash as he coffee pot fell to the floor, breaking apart due to her son.
"What are you doing?!" Shinobu whined confused and angrily. "My precious teapot..." She shouted, running over to her son, inspecting the mess as she knelt in front of her son, crying. "Why would you do that?!" She asked in disbelief as Hayato instantly regretted his choice. "I never know what you are thinking! You never even answer me! Why?!" Shinobu cried out as Hayato's eyes widened as he saw Kira smirking smugly before exiting the room confidently.
Jogging towards the door he watched Kira putting on his outdoor shoes.
Mom, he is not human. He tried to justify his actions in his mind. Wishing that he could tell her. If I say anything about him to anyone, they will be blown away and the morning will reset. If we just keep letting him do what he wants, it might not happen now, but he will eventually kill me and my mom. He concluded seeing Kira going to the door while his mother cleaned up the mess behind him. Taking quick strides towards the window, he saw Kira waiting in front of the front door, possibly waiting for just like before.
Hurrying, Hayato snatched his shoes and bag, walking to the upper floor, opening the window in the hallway to climb down by using the tree the cat uses sometimes to get inside.
Climbing down carefully, one step after the next, he slid off the tree, just around the corner to not get into Kira's line of sight.
Quickly running to the backside of the house, Hayato's mind started racing:" I cannot wait for Miss L/N anymore, not with Yoshikage Kira in front of the door, it is too dangerous. She might get killed as well! R-Rohan Kishibe... There was someone other than Kira who had abilities. But since I do not know Miss Y/N's it is too dangerous to approach her first. I have to do something about Rohan Kishibe instead. The only one who can save me and my mom and defeat Kira is someone with abilities like Rohan Kishibe!"
-
Meanwhile said manga artist was sitting inside his red sports car, staring at his silver wristwatch impatiently, just as the heavy storm clouds started filling the sunny sky as he decided to get out f his car, leaning onto the vehicle lazily. There were also the two business women and the elderly man who's zipper on his pants was undone.
"If I meet Rohan, he will be blown away and die... and then I will repeat the same morning again." Hayato thought out loud, staring at his wristwatch. "I have to tell Rohan about him without meeting him. I am going to change fate!" He desided, gritting his teeth as suddenly one side of his face turned into pages, startling the boy. "Wh-What is this?!.. It is Rohan's ability that he used on me the last morning!
Like before the elderly man sneezed, cursing a short "Damn it." As he walked past the giggling women.
"I was hiding from Rohan this time!" Hayato shouted panicking. "Rohan did not even see me!"
"Once fate has happened, it cannot be changed..." A deep voice spoke up behind the boy, sending icy chills down Hayato's spine as the yellow hat was pushed roughly on his head.
"H a y a t o." Kira smiled menancingly, leaning closer.
-
16th July (Fri), 8:27AM
The heavy dark gray cloud began releasing heavy rain drops as they splashed on the pavement.
"Ugh, the forecast did not say it was going to rain!" The women muttered worriedly as she and her friend, hurried along, running over the street to take shelter on the next building. Seeing flashes of light above the clouds as then, bright lightening struck the Pepsi sign.
However, in this very moment Hayato could only stare at the murderer in front of his eyes, basking in the chaos around him.
"You seem to be under the impression that you purposely broke the teapot, but that is incorrect." Kira stated confidently. "Whatever broke last morning will break again, no matter what. It will happen because it is meant to be. That is what fate is. If you were turned into a book last morning, you will turn into a book, no matter what. This is why Killer Queen Bites the Dust is invincible. It erases my identity and returns everything else to what it was." He continued to explain, guiding the boy to look around the corner. "That means I get to observe Rohan exploding before I head to work." Kira chuckled as Hayato waited with bated breath, hoping that only the man next to him lied.
"Did you know Hayato that I felt quite an amount of rage towards this man? Not only was he so nosy and meddled in my life by investigating me, but he also spend a lot of time with what belongs to me"
-
16th July, 8:17AM:
In that moment the doorbell of the Kawajiri Household rang loudly as Shinobu skipped over to the door in a hurry opening it quickly seeing your drenched form in front of her as lightening struck, highlighting your form.
"Goodness, Y/N. Come inside." She shouted worriedly, guiding you inside as you excused your intrusion. "Quickly, oh no, you are completely drenched, seriously, the weather forecast should have said something. Wait just a second I get you a towel." She gushed worriedly, fretting over your form as you put down your shoes in the entrance.
"Thank you for having me." You smiled, raising your hand, showing a cake from the bakery downtown. "I got you some cake; I hope you and your family like chocolate?" You asked as the lightning struck again, your golden eyes flashing mischievously.
-
"I cannot let Rohan die!" Hayato whispered. "I have to save Rohan!" He stared at his watch: 8:29AM. Looking back up it was only five seconds until Rohan's death as then everything went down like before.
"Blood splattered out of the manga artists body, ripping his internal organs entirely as his earring fell to the ground as he staggered back, leaning onto the car.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah, Rohan Kishibe." Hayato cried out in anguish.
"Watch carefully." Kira mumbled with deep satisfaction. "He has no idea why he is dying right now. I wonder if he is thinking about how he will not be able to draw his manga anymore. Or that he will never be able to see my Y/N again."
Staggering forward, Rohan collapsed next to the green steel railing as the huge explosion went off.
Tears streamed down Hayato's desperate face as he called out to the dead manga artist who disappeared without a single trace.
-
Back at the alleyway, Reimi's pink eyes widened in horror, seeing her childhood friend's golden, screaming soul flying up towards the sky, crumbling to pieces as her mouth opened in a horrified gasp, feeling her knees giving out under her as she hugged Arnold tightly.
"R-Rohan..." she cried. "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" She shouted in horror as his soul exploded.
-
Sitting inside the living room, you watched along the white walls as Shinobu gave you a yellow towel to dry off your short hair.
"I apologize, I arrived a bit later, the rain surprised me" You laughed nervously as Shinobu giggled, sitting in front of you as you stared at her smiling charmingly, watching a slight blush on her face. "So Shinobu, there is not a single mess in here except myself." You guestured around exaggeratedly before pointing at the small trail of water your coat left in the entrance as she looked to the side bashfully.
"No, no. It is fine, please do not worry too much." Shinobu gasped waving you off.
"It seems like you have been happier in the last days."You pointed out calmly as she flinched slightly, hiding her face behind her hands. "Yua was always talking about it when she saw you around."
"N-No, it is nothing big." She stuttered nervously, fiddling with the hem of her dress. "It is just that I feel like I am finally warming up a bit to my husband."She chuckled lightly as you narrowed your eyes. "I mean I started to feel butterflies all in my stomach when I see him around-"
"Go on." You encouraged her, leaning forward as she furrowed her eyebrows slightly, her eyes looking at you in surprise.
"I did not know you were interested in such things." She blushed, staring at you golden eyes as you leaned closer. "I mean we barely know each other."
"I am a woman as well, I have a small affinity to gossip and love stories." You muttered mischieviously tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Especially one's were the true villain gets their deserved bad ending~" You whispered as she focused sorely on you, not seeing a certain emerald shimmering Stand slither up to the second floor, inspecting each room as a certain redhead was hiding outside in the rain inside your black car.
-
Time moved on, so did the rain as Hayato stood frozen in his spot, unable to move.
"Hayato, the very fact that you met Rohan will disappear, and the morning will continue on. "If I undo Bites the Dust right now, Rohan's death will just become fact and not repeat again... but for now, I will not undo it. A few of his friends should also be showing up after all." He dragged out his words sadistically. "You are going to automatically defeat them for me as well. Just like a landmine." He watched along seeing Hayato's fighting spirit crumble to pieces. "But Bites the Dust will not cause you any harm, so you should relax and enjoy your fun life as a young boy." He announced, waving the boy farewell. "Well, I have to head to the station. Make sure you study hard~" He turned around.
Stepping forward, Hayato dashed towards the crimson sports car, tears still streaming down his face, mixing with the rain splashing on his face. "It is all my fault. IT is because he met me...." Hayato started blaming himself, feeling the guilt weighing down his chest. "Rohan Kishibe was killed because he met me!" He cried out, slipping as he fell to the ground, his yellow hat falling on the wet pavement.
Sitting there, loose strands of hazel hair fell him in his eyes as he hiccupped silently before walking towards the car. "Can't I do anything to defeat him?" He muttered, putting on his hat, walking past the car as-
"Um... Can I ask you something? Do you know what time it is?" Koichi asked the small boy, holding a small photograph in his hand- "My watch does not seem to be working right." He explained as Hayato just stared to the ground apathically. "Hello? Are you listening?" Koichi questioned, leaning closer as the boy showed him his digital wristwatch.
"It is 8:33..." Hayato mumbled sadly
"Huh? Haven't I seen you somewhere before?" Koichi inquired curiously. "Where was it? Ehm... Do you know who I am?"
"No..."
"Huh... I guess I was imagining it. Sorry for saying something weird." Koichi apologized quickly, laughing nervously. "8:33... Thanks!" He muttered. Getting a better look at the photo Hayato flinched back, seeing himself and his crimson video camera on it, observing Kira Yoshikage. "Jotaro! It really is past 8:30-" Koichi addressed the older man, who was slowly walking over to the two with long steps. "Strange, though... I wonder where Rohan-sensei went. And do not be upset about Y/N anymore, she does what she thinks is right. You should trust her more." Koichi scolded the man lightly who only huffed while Koichi went to inspect Rohan's car.
Th-They are Rohan Kishibe's friends! Hayato realized. They were supposed to meet up! They probably have the same abilities.... And they know Miss Y/N as well! So she has abilities as well! Yes! But th-they also came to ask me about Yoshikage Kira.
"He left the car door wide open and the key in the ignition." Koichi observed calmly. "That is not like Rohan-sensei."
Picking up the pen tip earring from the wet ground, Jotaro inspected it closely as his aquamarine eyes shifted over to a panicking Hayato.
"That is Rohan-sensei's earring." Koichi pointed out full of confidence as a shadow casted over Jotaro's eyes.
Crap! If they find out that I am Hayato Kawajiri and ask me about my dad... Turning on his hells Hayato made an attempt to flee the scene only to collide with another two large figures nearly falling back to the ground if not for a familiar young Higashikata who grabbed hi wrist in the last second.
"Sorry about that." Josuke apologized leisurely as Okuyasu stared at the child deep in thought. "I overslept and was late meeting up with my friends, Y/N did nothing to wake me, she was already gone."
"Huh?" Okuyasu stared at the copy of the photo each of them was carrying around before looking at the young Kawajiri again. "I have seen you before... Where was it?"
"Ah, Josuke and Okuyasu!" Koichi cheered up.
"Yo." Josuke greeted him.
"Yo, Koichi. Good morning Jotaro." Okuyasu joined, waving as Josuke frowned in annoyance.
"What, so Rohan is the only one who is not here yet?" He muttered, sighing." Y/N and Kakyoin have an excuse at least."
And two more... Hayato freaked out, feeling himself cornered, trapped, with no escape. When he said his friends were going to show up--- He must have been talking about them!
"We will have to wait for Y/N to question this Hayato kid now, if he is not here." Josuke complained as he blinked, remembering that he was still holding onto something. "I just remembered I accidentally grabbed onto this." He lifted the yellow hat, giving it to Hayato." Here you go. Your hat." He offered it for him to take.
"Th-Thanks." Hayato mumbled, taking it.
"That angle..." Koichi muttered. "It is that angle. I am sure I have seen him before... Where was itß I know I have seen him..."
"Koichi." Jotaro spoke up rationally. "Look at the name on his backpack."
"Huh?"
"HAYATO KAWAJIRI?! WHAT?!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
I-I have been found out!
-
"I cannot believe I am doing this." Kakyoin sighed, flicking the strand of red hair that kept falling into his face, before staring back through the pair of binoculars you bought him, not noticing anyone beside you two inside the large house, letting Hierophant Green inspect each room, starting with the ground level, noticing that nothing seemed to be out of place.
Moving on to the upper floor he could hear the faint voices of the two women inside the living room as he opened the door to the bathroom carefully, looking around, seeing that nothing seemed to be out of place.
"That Yoshihiro Kira, Yoshikage's father, does not seem to lurk around here." Kakyoin whispered in relief, moving towards the shelf, noticing the elctric razor inside, stopping as he took a better look at the razor on the sink. "Well that is curious." The vice-president of the Speedwagon Foundation muttered. "And a bit suspicious." He thought as Hierophant Green noticed that the blade was still a bit wet, indicating that somebody used it a few minutes prior. "Why have an expensive electrical razor if you are using a normal one?"
Deciding to leave it be for a minute, he moved on to the child's room, looking around quickly as he noticed the TV, stopping feeling that something was off about it, not seeing a receiver but unlabeled video tapes and DVDs lying next to it, but brushing it off , he moved on the parent's room instead.
However, Hierophant Green stopped immediately, noticing the small video camera installed in the ceiling.
"If I move further..." Kakyoin turned serious, holding his hand in front of his face deep in thought, grimacing as his amethyst eyes glinted confidently. "... My Stand will be visible on the video tabe for Stand users. It it turns out that it was Kira who installed me and Y/N will be screwed, but... why would it be here if he just moved inside this house for a few days? No... it must have been somebody else, it is so inconveniently placed, it must have been the work of someone inexpierenced." He concluded as his eyes widened, smirking proudly.
"So what if it actually connects with a device inside the house, a private TV for example." He grinned as Hierophant Green floated back inside Hayato's room, to confirm his nagging suspicions.

"So I see that you have never felt fulfilled in your marriage up until recently."You whispered gently as your hand rested on Shinobu's lower back as she opened up to you easily.
"Exactly, I always thought how unhappy I was, living like this... with a son that does not talk to me, or even seems to care about me and a husband that did not pay any attention to me." She muttered gloomily, taking another sip from her coffee.
Sighing you thought back at the horrendous scene at Cinderella's, seeing the dismanteled corpse that had his idententity of Kosaku Kawajiri stolen by the serial killer. Frowning slightly, you felt a bitter tast in your mouth. Kosaku Kawajiri must have visited Aya Tsuji to change his fate as well, to turn his life around. You realized, golden eyes softening, he wanted to change for his love, for Shinobu Kawajiri. Nobody just visits Aya for simple cosmetic treatment, for a male customer to appear he must have heared of the wonders she was able to perform. A sad fate that in an attempt to make himself more attractive in the eye of the woman he loved he ended up losing his life, How cruel fate was at times.
"I am sorry." You breathed out as she looked up to you breaking the trance as she backed away a bit.
"I-It is alright, I am sorry, I do not know what came over me to spill something like this, I guess I must have been very tired to think like that." She laughed cheerfully, her mood taking a one eigthy. "Everything changed from one morning to the other and he begun acting more self assured, showing so many new sides of himself that I completely fell for him for a second time! He is now able to cook and tried the mushrooms he always dispised. He is truly trying to make an effort now, so I have to give it my best as well." she pumped her fist determinedly.
"How sweet." You agreed, nodding your head, smirking as suddenly your phone went off, startling the both of you. "Oh, excuse me Shinobu, I think I have to take this..." You muttered as she nodded, taking your empty cup taking to to the kitchen sink as you picked up the phone.
"Kosaku Kawajiri." You heard the breathy voice of a familiar male voice. "That was the name of our serial killer." Kakyoin's voice trembled as you heard his voice whispered hushedly. "Y/N, I found enough video tapes recording himi practicing his autograph, Kira must have taken Kosaku's identity you have to hurry and get out of there, we have to inform the others-"
"Thank you Kakyoin, reliabe as ever." You smiled, calming him down successfully. "We got this now, please take it easy, and take the evidence." You chuckled. "You are way too reliable, your timing is kind of scary." You snickered as you heard his ragged breathing slowing as you whispered. "Get Hierophant Green back to the car safely, I come out in a minute, start the engine, we will head to the meeting point." Smirking, you ended that call, posing. "Kira, I finally found you."
16th July (Fri), 8:34AM
"Hayato Kawajiri...." Jotaro addressed the boy sternly.
"What are you doing here?" Okuyasu asked.
"Is it a coincidence?" Josuke added suspiciously.
"D-Does this have to do with Rohan-sensei not being here?" Koichi inquired worriedly as all of them stared at the boy intensely.
If these four start asking me about my dad.... They are all going to be blown away! N-No! Do not ask me any questions... If you guys die, too, who is going to defeat him? But still there would be Miss Y/N and this Kakyoin guy... but they are at our home. Even if I have to deceive them.... I cannot let these people die, no matter what!
Walking over to the boy, Jotaro leaned forward, holding the picture up for Hayato to look at it properly. "I want to ask you about this photo..." Jotaro started off diplomatically. I want to know why you were recording a video in this photo. Why were you recording your da-"
"AAAAHHH! My nose is bleeding! I need to go to the clinic! My nose is gushing blood!" Hayato screamed, trying to stall time. "I-I... Bye!" he shouted, trying to make a run for it.
"Hold it." Josuke called out to him, grabbing him by his green school bag. "Your nose is bleeding? Let me see." He muttered gently as Hayato looked at his watch, hitting his nose with it quickly. Turning around, his nose was bleeding as Okuyasu and Josuke stared at it in surprise.
"I have to go. Excuse me."
"You do not need to go to a clinic." Josuke said calmly, squatting down in front of him as Crazy Diamond manifested in front of him, enveloping Hayato in golden Stand aura as he fixed his nose. "You nose is not bleeding."
"Huh?!" Hayato gasped in surprise, touching his fixed nose in disbelief as Josuke smiled warmly at him.
"My name is Josuke Higashikata." The high school student introduced himself proudly, gesturing to the man dressed in white. "He is a relative of mine, Jotaro Kujo. The one with the scary face over there is Okuyasu Nijimura." He stated as Okuyasu's dorky grin turned into an angry one, ready to snap back at Josuke. "And the friendly-looking guy there is Koichi Hirose. You go to Budogaoka Elementary, don't you? Then you will not be late just yet or else Y/N would kill us... So we just have some questions about this picture. If it is nothing, then that is fine..."
W-Well, it is something! Do not ask me any questions! Hayato thought in horror. You cannot ask me any questions!
"Is the person in this picture your da-"
"NO! DO NOT SAY ANY MORE!" Hayato burst out horrified, startling everyone. I-It is no use... now they are going to ask even more questions. Hayato realized trying to walk away.
"What do you mean by: Don't say anymore?" Josuke quoted.
One after the other
"What are we not supposed to say?" Jotaro continued.
I cannot stop it anymore!
"Are you talking about your dad?" Koichi inquired
They are going to explode! THEY ARE ALL GOING TO EXPLODE!
"You suddenly shouted no!" Koichi pressed further. "Don't say any more?" He repeated Hayato's words carefully, trying to get some sense out of them.
"But we did not ask you anything yet." Okuyasu pointed out visibly confused.
"Could it be that even asking you a question is a bad idea?" Jotaro concluded quickly.
They are going to explode... Explode... EXPLODE...I know... Hayato's breath hitched as he pulled out a box cutter from his school bag, panting loudly. I-If I die, no one else will have to die! HE thought grimly as he held the sharp blade under his chin, trembling. Since I am the bomb, I just need to die! If I die, I am sure these people will be able to defeat him and save my mom!
And he let himself fall into the blade.
"Come on; ask him about Kosuke Kawajiri already." Josuke said as Jotaro stopped his uncle.
"Wait, Josuke. Something is wrong." Jotaro spoke up grimly, walking over to the hunching boy. "What are you crouching down for?" He asked, turning the boy around, who was crying holding the blade of his box cutter to his throat helplessly as a smaller version of Killer Queen appeared, holding onto the knife, preventing Hayato from hurting himself.
It will not go through... Hayato choked back his hot tears. For some reason, the box cutter will not go into my throat! Hayato tried with all his strength, not able to see Killer Queen nor its bright pink purplish Stand aura.
"That is..." Jotaro gasped.
"That Stand-"Josuke realized as Okuyasu's eyes widened:
"I would never forget it after seeing it once!"
"Killer Queen!!" Screaming Koichi backed up in fear, all their suspicions coming true.

!!!!"
"ECHOES ACT 3"!!!"
But everything was for naught as Killer Queen penetrated auch of their eyes, coloring one of their irises bright pink.
"TO BE MORE PRECISE; IT IS KILLER QUEEN'S THRID BOMB: BITES THE DUST! IT IS ALREADY TOO LATE TO ATTACK: IF YOU ARE SEEING ME THAT MEANS I AM ALREADY INSIDE YOUR EYES! IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW MANY OF YOU THERE ARE BECAUSE ALL AT ONCE.... YOU TRIED TO FIND OUT MY IDENTITY!"
CLICK
And it all broke down in a hot inferno bursting out as their bodies were torn to shreds, lightning and thunder could not even compare as smoke filled Hayato's lungs as they went up in an enormous explosion.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" He screamed his heart out, all the guilt crushing his poor heart, tears streaming from his eyes that glared hatefully at the image of Killer Queen in front of his face as he fell down the abyss.
-
His face was cold, dripping with sweat, still screaming as the door was opened by Shinobu. "What, you are already awake?" His mother asked him in surprise, seeing her son staring out of the window, letting the morning sun hit his face. "I am glad you replied for once when I called you, but there is no need to yell. Breakfast is ready, so come on." She said closing the door as Hayato fell to his knees, collapsing in exhaustion. It was 7:36AM.
Crouching Hayato pressed his forehead against the floor tiles, trembling. "I could not stop it... Those four got attacked too." He cried as his tears hit the wood. "It is no use... No matter how hard I try, in an hour, fate is going to eliminate those four too... I cannot even kill myself. My passing would be troublesome to him, so Bites the Dust must be automatically protecting me." He whispered, putting each pieces of information together as he covered his head with his small hands. "He is too strong..." He whimpered." Yoshikage Kira is too much of a monster. Either he has to die, or he has to undo Bites the Dust for whatever reason or those four are going to die for sure..."
He stopped, standing back up, turning around as he took out the box cutter from his bag.. "Either he has to die, or he has to undo Bites the Dust..." He whispered darkly. "I always thought there was no way I could ever kill someone. There is no way an eleven-year-old boy like me could kill a monster like that." He said, watching the morning light reflect from the sharp surface of the metal, following it up to the ceiling. "But there is one way! A way for an eleven-year-old like me to kill him... Just one. And it is sleeping quietly in the dark attic like a gun resting in an armory." He muttered, reaching the dark attic, pulling off the white cloth on the pot, revealing the oddly shaped plant that seemed to have grown since the last time he had seen it. Now having thorns on its pink blossom head, purring slightly.
"For the first time in my life, I was praying to God from the bottom of my heart: Lord, please let me kill this man somehow."
Getting back down in his room, he tucked Stray Cat safely in his school bag, as a small ray of sunlight reached it, making it hiss, waking up and throwing to air bubbles at him as Hayato reacted quickly closing his bag.
"I was right...This cat-like plant starts moving when sunlight hits it, and then attacks by shooting air bullets. And even with just this little bit of light in the room, it is so destructive." He concluded, pulling out the destroyed book about nuclear energy that had two bubble-shaped holes in it, putting his hands through it. "I will utilize this behavior and attack him with an air bullet at point blank range..." He declared, closing the door to his room, walking down the hallway. "But when and how am I supposed to do that?" He continued walking down the steps. "I cannot do it in or near the house. Mom is here." HE thought, seeing his yellow hat on the coat hanger. "That is it... My hat! He will come to put the hat on my head. That will be point blank range!" he realized, seeing Kira fixing his green tie in the mirror of the living room. "My chance will be when he comes into range behind me. That is when I have to do it!"
Obnoxious coughing cut through the silence yet again, announcing the morning news, ready at 7:55AM- "What? No way! We are on air already?" The reporter panicked slightly as Hayato entered the living room, watching Shinobu pour the coffee inside the tea pot... "Er, um... It is now 7:55..." the reporter continued nervously, eager to overplay his mishap.
"Dad was saying that he wanted another cup of coffee." Hayato said to his mother as Hayato waited next to the telephone as it started ringing, picking it up immediately catching the attention of Kira.
"Hello? This is Hayato Kawajiri." He introduced himself hearing a smooth chuckle on the other end of the line that made him straighten his back.
"Good morning Hayato." You smiled. "Is your mother there?" You asked
"Come to the Pepsi sign before thirty, tell the others." He whispered silently so only you could understand him as your golden eyes widened as Kira turned to Hayato in confusion as the boy nodded.
"Yes." You turned seriously. "Are you and Shinobu safe?" you questioned as he gave a hushed yes. "We will be there."
"No, you have got the wrong number." Hayato spoke clearly as Kira turned back around styling his hair. "This is not the Sakurai residence." He moved on, waiting for his mother to trip, but since she was going slowly she made it safely, pouring in another cup of coffee for her husband.
"Here is your fresh cup of coffee." Shinobu chirped happily as Kira frowned, moving closer as he checked his watch. "It is a lovely morning. I guess it would not hurt to have another cup before I go to work."
Fate does not change with Bites the Dust, right? Something that has been destroyed once will be destroyed no matter how much I fight it. You said that, didn't you? Hayato watched with anticipation as Kira raised the cup as it suddenly broke, spilling hot coffee on his hand and suit as Shinobu jumped back in surprise.
"My precious tea set!" Shinobu shouted as the hot coffee spilled everywhere.
Serves you right! Hayato grinned. "All right, Mom, I am heading to school!" HAyato shouted happily, running around the table, jumping up to give his mother a peck on the cheek, surprising her. I will be there for you. I will protect you forever mom! He promised, running past Kira, shooting him an evil glare as he put on his shoes, leaving his hat on purpose behind, laying out his trap.
"I cannot believe it." Shinobu sighed. "I really never have any idea what he is thinking... But... Maybe he is not so bad after all." She smiled happily, touching her face as she noticed Kira walking to the broken shards. "Oh, it is fine. I will clean that up. There is nothing we can do now that it is broken. More importantly, did you get burnt?" She questioned.
"No... I am fine..."
-
Standing back at the corner with sight on Rohan's sports car, Hayato leaned onto the wall, checking his wristwatch. "He is not here yet..." He looked around noticing all the people that were here all those times before. "H-he is not here... He is not here yet."He checked his watch again as his face turned into pages. "S-something is wrong. He should have already been here by now... Why is he not here now!"
Dark gray cloud began releasing heavy rain drops as they splashed on the pavement.
"Ugh, the forecast did not say it was going to rain!" The women muttered worriedly as she and her friend, hurried along, running over the street to take shelter on the next building.
"-It is starting to rain! Did fate change because I left the house before him?" Hayato began to doubt himself. "No, that cannot be! If he is coming to put the hat on my head, he should definitely come up from behind me." He waited as the lightening went off. "L-Lightening struck the Pepsi sign!" Hayato began to panic. "Calm down. Calm down! There are still two minutes left! There is more than two minutes before Rohan Kishibe is automatically blown away. I need to believe in fate-" He stopped noticing his yellow yet peeking from behind the tree and green trash container.
H-He is already by that tree... He is already right there!
"What a lovely morning. But Hayato was acting strangely..." Kira spoke up. "What was that? It is just a hunch but something was strange... It appears that we have repeated this morning three, ... no four times now."
"I-Is he just that intuitive?" Worried Hayato looked over his shoulder, waiting for Kira's next move. "But there is no more time! Where are Miss Y/N and the others? I will just have to attack him from here." Making a decision, Hayato opened his school bag, unfolding the cloth. "Wait... D-Did he figure out that I have the cat plant, and that is why he is not coming near me? No... He is too close if he knows that. But I have to completely defeat him in one shot. If I miss, Rohan will explode, and then he will undo Bites the Dust after the other four are eliminated. If that happens he is going to win! There is no time! Damn it...Just one more step to the left! If he just steps out from behind that filthy tree, I can attack!"
However, Kira hid further, right out of Stray Cat's line of sight.
"What?! H-He has hidden himself even more!"
"The look in Hayato's eyes when he left the house... He looked determined about something. It is the same look that the shitbag Josuke and my lovely darling Y/N have. My hunch is telling me to carefully observe him....Though there really is not much that HAyato can do...
Once it is a few seconds past 8:29 the attack on Rohan Kishibe will start! Hayato began crying again.
That brat is shaking. Those eyes look like a despaired mouse drowning in a cesspool. I guess I was just imagining his determination. Those are definitely the eyes of a loser. Kira thought, stepping out from behind the tree.
He moved!
"I came to bring the hat you forgot, Hayato." Kira walked over to the boy, holding out the yellow hat.
If there is a God, I thank you! Hayato started praying. I thank the fate that got this murderer to move from behind that tree! I feel a fighting spirit burning within me! HE opened his hazel eyes that shone full of determination, unfolding the cloth hiding Stray Cat. "TAKE THIS, YOSHIKAGE KIRA!" Hayato yelled as Stray Cat fired off two air bubbles, one hitting Kira directly in his chest.
-
"Y-Yes!" Hayato trembled as the man fell to the ground. "I hit him dead-on! I--- I did it!" He ran over to the man, letting stray cat aim at him. "This is the end you murderer-" HE shouted as suddenly the man's fist connected with the boy's face if it was not for Killer Queen Bites the Dust protecting him. "WH-Wh-What?!"
"Lately..." Kira spoke up, stepping on Hayato's school bag.
"Impossible!"
"With my nails growing so quickly...I got to thinking about how unlucky I have been lately. But inside my pocket... It seems like, since last night, luck is coming around to my side." He stated, pulling out his destroyed wristwatch, spitting blood to the side. "Remember when Mom's precious tea cup broke this morning? When the coffee spilled onto my wrist, I was burned, so I removed my watch and put it in my chest pocket... What unbelievable luck! If that coffee had not spilled this morning!"
"How... How is that possible? I....I.. I failed! It is almost time!"
-
"Hayato Kawajiri is not coming..." Rohan sighed unaware of his impending doom that was only a few seconds away. "I guess he must have taken a different route to school."
"He has not." You muttered, pulling up your car next to him as you and Kakyoin got out. "He told me to meet here and call you guys over, sorry for being late, the roads were slippery." You smirked. "So where is our young strategic mastermind?" You pulled out your pocket watch, touching Rohan's shoulder as Heal manifested beside you. "8:29AM."
