Summary
     Natsuki's adventures in the town of Morioh
***** Chapter 1 *****
Morioh town, it’s a place where bizarre things happen right under the noses of
its citizens. The dark secrets lurking in this town are unknown to most,
strange events are simply written off as some sort of weird cosmic coincidence,
but there are those who know firsthand the horrors that take place here.
There are of course the Joestars, a family that is destined to face great
trials throughout their lives, but in the midst of Yoshikage Kira’s murder
spree it seems that a few stand users were left undiscovered.
In a high school in Morioh, trouble is brewing as a powerful stand seeks to
manipulate those around it for the forces of evil, the user is a student… but
who? One girl from that same high school named Natsuki was walking home after
her club was over, she has shoulder length pink hair which was tied into two
small twin tails with a red ribbon and she had pink eyes as well, she is only
4’11” despite being a high schooler.
‘Ugh, man reading all of that manga made me hungry. Why do the parfaits have to
look so delicious! They probably don’t even look as good in real life.’ thought
Natsuki in misery, but as she continued her trek home she stumbled upon
restaurant ‘Trattoria Trussardi? This is that new italian place right? Ugh, I
can’t help myself, I have to go eat something!’ she thought. Natsuki opened the
doors to the restaurant and walked in, the smell of the food was almost more
than she could bear as her legs automatically walked her to the closest table.
She sat down and tried to calm her nerves, while she was doing so she couldn’t
help but listen in on the conversation a few tables over “Okuyasu, I don’t
think this is going to work” said Josuke “It has too! IT HAS TOO!” screamed
Okuyasu who was crying profusely “Okuyasu, If Crazy Diamond couldn’t repair it
then I don’t think Tonio can.” Josuke said “Josuke! Listen to me man! I CANNOT
go on like this! This needs to be fixed NOW!” replied Okuyasu, like the moody
bitch that he is
“Okuyasu, you’re the one that needs to listen, it’s your own fault that this
happened! You should have known better than to try and give yourself a handjob
with a stand that can literally erase everything it touches!” said Josuke
“Have some fucking sympathy Josuke! You don’t know what I’m going through!”
said Okuyasu “I don’t know what you’re going through? You came to my house last
night beating on the door, you woke me and my mom up, I go to answer it and
there you are crying like a bitch about how you erased your own dick. I tell
you to go home, but you wouldn’t so I close the door thinking that you would
eventually leave but you just curled up in a ball on my front porch sobbing
quietly all night. I go outside the next day to water my flower garden and
there you are still crying, I finally ask you whats wrong and you get up and
pull down your pants and show me your barren genital region. I was so shocked
beyond words that I think my brain did a complete 180 from being totally
confused to just accepting what was happening, and then you beg me to try and
fix it with my stand so I had touch where your dick used to be and to top it
all off it didn’t even work, I have been here with you every step of the way
and you’re telling me i don’t know what your going through? Stop being selfish
you conceited little bitch! I’m doing my best!” screamed Josuke at Okuyasu who
just burst into tears after hearing that rant.
After witnessing this scene Natsuki got up and left, she didn’t care how hungry
she was she was not going to listen to that, besides what would her dad do if
she was home late?
“I’m home” Natsuki said meekly as she entered her house “You were 82.5 seconds
off of your average, what happened?” asked Natsuki’s dad “Umm, I just had to go
to the bathroom” responded Natsuki “What did I tell you about that? Always hold
it until you get here, the strain will make you walk faster.” said Natsuki’s
Dad
“Sorry” was all Natsuki said in response “Ring ring ring, someone is calling,
ring ring ring, well are you going to answer the phone Natsuki!?” Natsuki’s dad
walked across the room and picked up a bottle of vinegar and spoke into it as
if it were a phone “Oh, it’s you boss, you’re coming here? Yes boss. Right away
boss, goodbye” Natsuki’s dad turned toward her, “The boss is coming to visit.”
he said.
A pit formed in Natsuki’s stomach, if the boss was coming that could only mean
one thing. Her father was normally a very nice person, he does work assigned to
him by the boss an organization in Italy called ‘Passione’ from their house in
Morioh, she didn’t know why he worked here instead of Italy though, apparently
it’s to conceal his identity.
Nobody would suspect him of being the assistant to the leader of the Italian
mafia though, he looked like he was a teenager and had a feminine build but he
was actually in his early 30’s, his pink hair and small stature was probably
passed down to Natsuki.
But there was a problem, her father believed in the existence of a man called
‘the boss’, out of nowhere he starts making phone ringing noises and then he
will answer the ‘phone’ which can actually be anything. He has a conversation
with the boss even though he isn’t there, and whatever the boss tells him to do
he does. But the worst part is whenever the Boss comes over for a visit, when
that happens all of the sudden her father thinks he is the boss, like some sort
of split personality.
He will suddenly grow much taller and more muscular, his hair length and facial
features even change as he transforms into the boss. The boss’ name is Diavolo,
and her dad’s name is Doppio. Diavolo will attack her and hurt her, she always
blacks out and when she wakes up her father is back to normal.
Doppio has no idea that he is the boss and he doesn’t remember anything he did
as Diavolo. Natsuki watched in horror as Doppio took of his purple sweater and
strained, she could see his bones moving underneath his skin as his body grew
almost twice its size, his hair grew out longer as well, he looked at natsuki
with a devilish grin “King Crimson!” he said, and then Natsuki blacked out.
She woke up the next morning aching all over ‘Looks like it happened again’ she
thought, she got up and almost fell back down, she was extremely weak from
fatigue and hunger. She hadn’t eaten in a whole day, and the previous days the
food she had eaten wasn’t much.
With no breakfast she left the house before Doppio woke back up and headed to
school, ‘At least i have the literature club to look forward to’ she thought
and prepared herself for the arduous day ahead. Classes went how they usually
did, nobody bothered her and she didn’t bother them, she had to skip lunch as
usual and finally it was the end of the day.
Natsuki walked down the hall to the literature club room, she walked through
the doors and staggered into her seat, laying on the desk and panting heavily.
Exhausted she waited for Monika to come by and give her a protein bar, but
Monika was running late today.
“Hey, Natsuki are you okay?” asked fellow club member Sayori innocently as she
noticed the dilapidated state of her friend, “Yeah… I’m just tired.” replied
Natsuki, who was so tired that she couldn’t even come up with a snarky comment
“Are you sure that’s it? This isn’t the first time something like this has
happened either.” responded Sayori
“Sorry, I just… haven’t eaten yet today.” said natsuki, a light bulb turned on
inside Sayori’s head “Hey I have a great idea! Why don’t we go out to eat after
this!” she said “I don’t want to, I’m fine Sayori I don’t need any help.” said
Natsuki, most would consider her stubborn, but we are all adults here and I
think as adults we can all agree that she is just a total fucking rotten bitch.
“Hear me out okay? This restaurant’s food has restorative properties! It’s true
I’m not making it up! You will feel so much better if we go there! Pleeease!”
begged Sayori. The offer was too much for natsuki to refuse, she felt like she
was dying “Ugh, fine” said natsuki.
Monika enters the room, “Sorry that I’m late everyone! I was um... busy in the…
computer lab.” she said “What were you doing in there?” asked Yuri, who spoke
for the first time that day “Um… coding class?” Monika said without thinking
‘Nice Monika, nice!’ she thought to herself.
Monika was sweating bullets, “So, what’s poppin B?” she asked in an attempt to
lighten the mood and make some casual conversation, but everyone just stared
blankly at her “Oh no did I break them?” asked Monika.
Sayori suddenly snapped to attention as though she was in a trance “Oh yeah
Monika, I need to tell you something important.” Monika jolted, she is super on
edge out of fear of the club members discovering her ulterior motives “W-what
is it?” replied Monika nervously “I’m bringing a new member tomorrow.” said
Sayori ‘Great, just great! This makes things more complicated, but I will
prevail.’ thought Monika
“Well okay that’s fine, go ahead.” she said “Thanks!” said Sayori cheerfully.
The literature club dragged on through the afternoon, nobody was really even
interacting and before they knew it, it was time to go home. “Ready?” asked
Sayori who was standing at the door “Oh yeah, yeah I’m ready” responded Natsuki
lazily as she stood up and accompanied Sayori out of the school.
“So where are we going?” asked natsuki “It’s this place right up here.” said
Sayori, they stopped in front of an Italian restaurant “Wait, Sayori, weird
people hang out here, we should go somewhere else.” said Natsuki “What? But I
really wanna try it, come on Natsuki stop being stubborn!” pouted Sayori, “God,
fine we’ll eat here, but I warned you.” said Natsuki as she reluctantly entered
the restaurant.
They picked a random table and sat down, a foreign man in a Chef’s attire
exited the kitchen “Welcome, my name is Tonio.” he said “Hi, can we get a
menu?”asked Sayori politely “No” said Tonio “What do you mean no?” asked
Natsuki “Well, here I choose the menu based on the customer.” answered Tonio
“That’s dumb” said Natsuki “Come on Sayori, lets leave.” Natsuki stood up but
noticed Sayori was staying “I think it’s a good idea, come on let’s try it
out!” she said, natsuki sat back down, “I’ll be right back.” said Tonio who
walked back into the kitchen “I can’t believe you can put up with this!”
complained Natsuki “You need to be more open minded Natsuki, this could be a
great experience” said Sayori “Yeah right” Natsuki responded.
Suddenly the door opened and Josuke and Okuyasu walked in “Man I’m telling you
it won’t work! It didn’t yesterday, it won’t today!” said Josuke “No way, I
think I see a bump where it used to be, it must be growing back, we gotta eat
more of this food.” said Okuyasu “Oh god, Sayori we have to leave, those guys
talk about some weird stuff.” said natsuki
“Oh hey Josuke!” said Sayori “Sayori? Oh, what’s up?” responded Josuke.
Natsuki’s jaw dropped, ‘Do these two know each other?’ she thought “Natsuki,
this is Josuke, we met when I first moved here not long ago and we’ve been
friends ever since!” said Sayori gesturing to Josuke “H-hi….” said Natsuki
“Josuke, I changed my mind, we need to leave now!” said Okuyasu “Are you
kidding me? After all of that whining? I’ve had almost all I can take from
you!” said Josuke “Listen man, she can’t know what happened to me, it’s too
embarrassing!” said Okuyasu
“You didn’t seem to have any problem telling me, in fact I am disturbed with
how shamelessly you were able to tell me all of this, unless… Okuyasu do you
like Sayori or something?” asked Josuke, whispering that last part so that only
okuyasu could hear him “Shut up dude! This is a big deal, a BIG fucking deal!
This isn’t like that one time your mom found your secret collection of lingerie
that you always wear underneath your clothes! Jesus I can only imagine what it
feels like to have a string embedded that tightly between your asscheecks! It
probably feels liberating to you doesn’t it!” said Okuyasu
“Hey! That’s it you asshole I’m kicking your ass!” said Josuke “Are you sure?
If you move too fast you might accidentally snap your thong!” said Okuyasu “I’m
gonna kill you okuyasu!” yelled Josuke
“Bring it on dickbreath! Jeez, I wonder how you got it to smell that way!” said
Okuyasu “At least I have a dick!” retorted Josuke. They both charged at each
other, ready to fight “Stop it you guys!” yelled Sayori “What the fuck? I told
you that this would happen Sayori!” yelled Natsuki, but the boys wouldn’t
listen, just as they were about to throw down Tonio stepped out of the kitchen
once again
“HEY, NO FIGHTING IN HERE OR YOU ARE ALL PERMANENTLY BANNED!” he commanded.
Okuyasu and Josuke stopped and realized that they were both right, and they
both had much to be ashamed about, together they left the restaurant, heads
lowered in embarrassment.
“Your meal is ready.” said Tonio who presented a plate before both Natsuki and
Sayori, “Some microwaved spaghetti-o’s and kraft mac and cheese for you” he
said “Ummm, is this a joke? We came here for some authentic Italian food, I
don’t even like Spaghetti-o’s or Mac and Cheese.” said Natsuki
“Well, if you don’t like it I will bring you something else, but you need to at
least try it first.” said Tonio, “Yeah right! Like I need to taste test
Spaghetti-o’s to see if they are good or not, what a disgrace!” said Natsuki,
but Sayori put a fork full of Mac n cheese in her mouth and ate it.
Sayori looked confused for a moment, and then her eyes widened, trembling she
set her fork down and looked Natsuki straight in the eye “You need to try those
Spaghetti-o’s right now.” she said in a cold voice. Natsuki felt intimidated,
this was not like sayori, but she ate a spoonful of Spaghetti-o’s anyway.
Natsuki was blown away, this was the best thing she had ever eaten, nothing
else even came close, even the beating she received from her father seemed
worthwhile if this is the kind of food she would be eating, in fact for some
reason she could feel her pain and fatigue slowly fading.
Natsuki looked over at sayori who was eating the mac n’ cheese as fast as she
could “Natsuki, I can’t believe it, I really can’t believe it! It’s gone, it’s
finally gone!” said Sayori, she broke out into a massive grin and ran out of
the restaurant, ‘Jeez, the food is good but that was an overreaction, but it’s
strange, I feel wonderful! I’m not in pain, and I don’t feel tired anymore.’
“Thank you chef, I am sorry that I doubted you.” said natsuki, and with that
she left the store.
***** Chapter 2 *****
Natsuki went back home in a good mood after she ate at Tonio's, she walked
through the door where her Father was waiting, "Natsuki! I told you to be home
quicker than that!" said Doppio "There are people who would have us killed,
you're lucky I let you attend school at all!"
"I'm sorry Dad, but I was hungry, and I went with a friend to a nice place."
said Natsuki "I know that you have to miss out on a lot of stuff because of my
situation, but for your own safety you have to be at home as much as possible,
I have direct orders from the boss to always keep you within my sight." said
Doppio
"Sorry Dad, it won't happen again." said Natsuki. 'Grrrr, that natsuki! She is
in the way of me hiding my identity! If it weren't for her no one would know my
identity, I would just kill her but it isn't that easy, she takes more after me
than I thought.' thought Diavolo inside of Doppio's mind.
"Well, that was awful, having my secrets revealed in front of Sayori like
that." said Josuke "The same thing happened to me, don't complain" said Okuyasu
"Yeah, you're right, I have no room to judge you" said Josuke "That's more like
it" said Okuyasu "By the way, do you really like Sayori?" asked Josuke "Bitch
you know I'm gay." replied Okuyasu
"Oh, really?" Josuke's voice sounded hopeful "Yeah" said Okuyasu "You didn't
know that?" Josuke was silent "Okuyasu, if that's true, then I have something
to tell you." "What is it?" asked Okuyasu "I love you" said Josuke
"Dude what the fuck! I was joking about being gay! I'm actually straight you
faggot of course I'm not gay! Oh christ I knew you had to be gay! What straight
man has a flower garden?" exclaimed Okuyasu
"DAMMIT OKUYASU THAT ISN'T FUNNY, YOU'RE A REAL PIECE OF SHIT YOU KNOW! AND
AFTER ALL I HAVE DONE FOR YOU!" yelled Josuke, Okuyasu just giggled, Sayori ran
up to them
"Hey Josuke, you have to come to my club tomorrow" she said "Why is that?"
josuke asked "I told the other members I would bring someone new." she answered
"Well I'm not going unless there is a reason to." said Josuke "We have some
extra wine glasses you can have, I know how much you love wine and cheese!"
said sayori "Ok, but they probably don't have any new ones I can add to my
collection." he said. Josuke and okuyasu parted ways with sayori
"Hey, is it me or does she seem different." asked Okuyasu "No, not at all, what
makes you say that?" said Josuke "Well, it might just be my imagination, but
she seems happier." said Okuyasu "Are you kidding? Sayori is always like that."
said Josuke "I'm not so sure that she's genuine, she acts happy, but no real
person actually behaves the way she does, just happy all the time. Most of the
time it seems like her happiness is forced or faked, I don't know why she does
it. This time it seemed like she didn't have to force herself to be happy, she
just was." said Okuyasu
"Wow, Okuyasu I'm surprised you were observant enough to notice something like
that." said Josuke "Notice what?" asked Okuyasu "What you just said about
Sayori" said Josuke "I didn't say anything about Sayori, I was just reading
this book I got out loud" said Okuyasu "Oh" said Josuke "Well, I'll see you
tomorrow… I guess" said Josuke,
Okuyasu was too absorbed in his book to pay attention to josuke "huh, yeah sure
dude" he said, Okuyasu was starting to get on josuke's last nerve with his
bullshit, angrily Josuke walked home leaving Okuyasu behind.
Josuke awoke at 5:00 am as usual so he could start doing his hair, it took him
around 2 hours to style his hair and put on his several layers of flamboyantly
gay clothing, he also used a little bit of makeup but that didn't take very
long. After that he ate his breakfast and went on his way to school. He decided
not to go get okuyasu because he was still mad at him, and he stomped his way
to school, his fancy boots clicking with every step.
Koichi walked up behind him, coughing and choking on Josuke's body glitter that
was floating off behind him "Cough cough, Hey josuke!" he said "Oh, hey
Koichi." Josuke responded "Where's Okuyasu?" Koichi asked "We got in a fight
yesterday so I'm avoiding him." answered Josuke "Oh, well I guess I'll go wake
him up, he can't do anything on his own." Koichi turned around and walked back
towards Okuyasu's house, Josuke continued on his way to school.
The uneventful school day passed as usual and Josuke was packing up his things
into his purse whenever Sayori entered the room "Watcha doing Josuke?" she
asked "Oh me, I was just getting ready to leave." he responded "Aren't you
forgetting something?" she asked "Oh, yeah there's that club thing isn't
there." he said "Yeah, come on let's go." said Sayori and they left for the
club room.
Josuke entered the room with sayori and immediately recognized Natsuki from the
day before "Oh hey, it's that girl you were with at Tonio's" said Josuke "Oh
great, it's you" she said, looking up from her copy of Pink Dark Boy "Is that
Pink dark Boy you're reading?" asked Josuke. Natsuki looked surprised "Yeah, it
is. Why, you got a problem or something?" she said
"No, it's just that I actually know the guy who writes that." he said "What?
You know Rohan Kishibe?" she asked incredulously "Yeah I do, he lives here in
Morioh" answered Josuke "Yeah right, why should I believe you?" she asked
"Fine, don't believe me, it's your loss." said Josuke "Well anyway, it looks
like you already know Natsuki, so let's introduce you to the others." said
sayori
They walked over to a girl with purple hair who was reading alone in a corner
of the room "Hey Yuri, meet Josuke, he's our new club member!" said Sayori
"Gee, I wonder what her favorite genre is." said Josuke quietly "I like
horror." said Yuri, who heard Josuke "Oh, really? That's actually not what I
thought it was." said Josuke "What did you think it was?" asked Sayori "Yuri"
he answered "Yes?" asked Yuri "No, I mean Yuri is the actual name of a genre."
said Josuke
"What is it?" asked Sayori and Yuri, "Well… I'd rather not say, let's just
forget about this, I'm sorry I said that, it was a tasteless joke" said Josuke
"A.. Jojoke?" asked Sayori "Cause your name is Jojo." "I thought it was
Josuke." said Yuri "It is, Jojo is my nickname" said Josuke "Oh, but still, I
want to know what genre my name is, please tell me." said Yuri
"Well, it's umm… well it refers to homosexual female relationships." said
Josuke cringing at himself for saying that, he tried to put it as delicately as
possible but there is no way to casually tell someone that their name means
lesbian sex "W-what? No, there has to be some sort of mistake!" said Yuri
"Nope, i just looked it up on my phone, that's definitely what it means" said
Sayori. Yuri turned red with embarrassment and she curled up in a ball on the
floor, unable to handle the immense humiliation that she was experiencing.
Josuke turned to Sayori "Man, is it really that bad to be called gay? How
rude!" he said "Yuri gets embarrassed really easily, she's the shy type, that
was a horrible first impression that you just made! How could you say something
like that to someone you just met? Imagine if someone called you gay!" said
Sayori, Josuke didn't respond.
Monika suddenly burst into the room, swinging the door open so fast it created
a gust of wind that caused papers to fly through the air. "Sorry I'm late
again" she said "Coding classes?" asked Sayori "Huh, what?" said Monika
"Yesterday you said that you were late because of your coding classes." said
sayori "Oh yeah, I did say that" said Monika.
"Are you feeling okay Monika?" asked Sayori "Me? Yeah, yeah totally fine! Why
what's wrong?" asked Monika "You're just acting a little strange is all, sorry
I didn't mean to make you upset." said Sayori "It's fine, more importantly, how
are all of you? Do you guys feel alright." asked Monika, the Sayori and Natsuki
said that they felt great, but Yuri didn't answer, Josuke saw Monika frown
'Dammit, I can tell they aren't lying, it's like someone undid all of my work,
it seems like Yuri's still affected though.' Monika thought to herself 'I knew
that book was no good, it must be some sort of stand, if everything goes
according to plan then Portrait of Markov should slowly turn Yuri insane,
Natsuki's father should keep her in check so I don't need to interfere with
that. That just leaves Sayori, I'll have to use my stand on her, but for some
reason my stands power was undone, what could have happened? I'll do anything
to get closer to him-' Monika's internal monologue was halted as she just
noticed Josuke was standing there
"Oh god! When did you get here!" she yelled, shook as fuck "I've been here
since todays club meeting began" said Josuke "Sorry, sorry, I guess I'm just on
edge, welcome to the club…" "Josuke" said Josuke finishing Monika's sentence,
Monika actually did know Josuke's name, she just pretended that she didn't. In
fact, Josuke was the whole reason she was here in the first place, she knew
that stand users were drawn to each other and that she would meet him
eventually. So she made the literature club as a front, but there was always
the risk that he could end up with one of the other girls instead, so she
decided to get them out of the way.
Natsuki was easy, her father did all of the work for her, as for Yuri, Monika
gave her a book called Portrait of Markov which was actually a stand, and she
used her own stand on sayori to make her depressed, all of this was so that she
could be with josuke.
Why Josuke? He was just so different, not just from other boys, but just people
in general, so unlike herself, she seemed fake compared to someone as real as
him. She wouldn't feel complete unless she was with someone like him, she would
live a splendid life vicariously through him. Just by being with him her flat,
gray, numb world would finally have depth, color, and feeling.
"Right, Josuke, well I hope you have a great time in our literature club." said
Monika with a smile
***** Chapter 3 *****
Josuke had been a member of the literature club for about a week now, in that
time he made up with Okuyasu and also became a little closer to all of the
other club members. He was the closest with Sayori, who he was already friends
with before joining the club. Natsuki was always really mean to him so it was
hard for him to try and talk to her. Yuri is so shy and reserved and Josuke
didn't really know how to deal with that so most of their conversations were
extremely awkward, plus there's the fact that he made fun of her name,
completely humiliating her.
And then there was Monika, the only person besides Sayori that actually cared
that he was there, she was nice and honest and talented, but despite all of
that she just seemed… boring. She's just a mary sue, a nice person to be
acquainted with, but there was no reason to try to get to know her better,
there was nothing to learn, she was perfect at everything.
So his club life wasn't really going that well, but he was going to try and
become friends with everybody here. Josuke decided to start with Natsuki, in
fact he already had an idea of what he wanted to do. "Hey, Natsuki" said Josuke
"What do you want?" asked Natsuki in a snarky tone "Relax, I just wanted to
talk to you is all" "Fine, what is it?" "Well, I just noticed that you're a fan
of manga, I actually know a manga artist in real life." said Josuke "Humph, why
should I care" asked Natsuki "He wrote the manga you're reading right now" said
Josuke, "Wait, I remember you saying that you knew Rohan Kishibe! Are you being
serious, you really know him?" asked Natsuki "Yeah, in fact you can even meet
him if you want" offered Josuke
He waited for her response just like a fisherman watches a fish swim up to the
line "You would really do that for me? You better not be lying!" said Natsuki.
'Yes! This could finally be my chance to get to know Natsuki better' he thought
to himself "Of course I would, I wouldn't trick you or anything like that, we
can go see him after the club ends" 'After the club ends… what will dad think?
But… it's too much for me to resist! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!'
thought Natsuki "Ok, sure" she said
Monika watched Natsuki and Josuke talk 'Well this isn't good, there he goes
again talking to the other girls, I must have patience though, this problem
will take care of itself, her father won't allow this to continue.' she
thought. Her eyes panned over to Yuri, Monika's eyes widened as she realized
something. The book that Yuri was reading wasn't the Portrait of Markov 'What?
She isn't reading it? Why? I guess the stand completed its work, but if she
doesn't have it anymore… who does? I need to find it, that book is dangerous.'
It was only a month or two ago when she first found it, it was in the public
library, no one had ever checked out the book. It had no author or publishing
date, it wasn't even in the library's records, nobody cared about the book, but
she was drawn to it, and she couldn't help but read it.
Monika had opened pandora's box, as she read the book she felt as though she
had a deep connection with it, she didn't know what it was though, and she knew
that something was wrong. These thoughts continued to plague her until she went
insane, and ever since she met Josuke she couldn't shake the feeling that he
was tied to all of this. Something else happened to her as well, she gained new
power, she called it a stand, and when she received it it felt as if her third
eye was opened.
She gave the book to Yuri in an attempt to make her go insane to the point
where Josuke would want nothing to do with her. Unlike herself, Yuri would be
much more affected due to her nature, Monika was smart and she knew how to
handle her insanity and how to channel it, Yuri however did not, not to mention
she was already unstable. Of course Monika also knew that Yuri would likely
gain a stand as well, but it didn't matter, this wasn't a physical battle, it
was a mental one.
Monika decided to use the rest of the club time to bother sayori. Monika's
stand, Piano Man, allows her to deal psychological damage to someone, no amount
of mental resistance can prevent her stand from working, but using it does put
an immense strain on Monika, so she has to be careful when she uses it. She
deals this mental damage simply by talking to her target.
"Hello Sayori" said Monika "Oh, hey Monika" said sayori, slightly more
downtrodden than usual "What's wrong?" asked Monika "I… just wish that Josuke
would spend more time with me" she answered. Monika activated her stand "He has
been spending a lot of time with Natsuki lately." she said, normally that
wouldn't have bothered Sayori that much, but Monika's stand made the words have
a lot more impact.
"Yeah, I wonder why he's talking to her instead of me" said sayori "I suppose
he's just interested in her personality" said Monika "What's wrong with my
personality?" asked sayori "i don't know, maybe you're just not his type" "I'm
not interesting enough?" asked Sayori "I assume he most likely thinks that,
yes." said Monika "In the end I guess I just can't compete with someone as
amazing as Natsuki" said Sayori somberly "Who knows" said Monika "Maybe he
likes her"
After saying that she stood up, the club had just ended and monika was ready to
go home, proud of the progress she had made. Sayori quietly put away her things
watching as Natsuki and Josuke left together 'What! Now he's walking home with
her too? It's like I've been replaced, Josuke is my only friend… What do I do?'
thought sayori.
"Man, I can't believe I'm actually about to meet Rohan!" said Natsuki in
excitement, Josuke smiled, he had never seen Natsuki so happy, he was glad that
he was finally able to get on her good side. Josuke knocked on the door, Rohan
opened it up, Natsuki's eyes lit up in unparalleled joy and excitement "Oh god,
it's you." said Rohan "What do you want" "I brought my new friend here, she's a
fan of your work" said Josuke
"It's great that she appreciates what I do, but Josuke you do know that I'm a
celebrity right? You can't just keep bringing me fans, I don't want people to
know where I live or else I'll have to move, I came to this town for privacy."
said Rohan "Oh come on, surely there is something I can do for you in return"
said Josuke "I don't want anything from you Higashikata, I don't even like you"
said Rohan "Oh come on Rohan, you don't have to let me in, but she was really
excited about meeting you, at least give her a chance." pleaded Josuke. Rohan
looked at Natsuki "Okay, fine, you stay there Higashikata." said Rohan "Okay,
Natsuki was it, come on in"
Rohan gestured for her to enter and she did. It felt surreal as she walked
through the Mangaka's house. Rohan showed her around the house before finally
bringing her to his studio. Natsuki was breath taken as she finally saw the
room where so many pages of manga were made, manga that she read, this is where
it all came from, and she was right next to the man who made it.
"I always have a process that I follow whenever I make manga, the most
important is getting an accurate sense of realism. I will only put something in
my work if I have experienced it in every way so that I can portray it as
accurately as possible. Most people would kill a pest if they found one in
their homes, but not me, I take my time to research them up close and personal,
developing a firsthand account detailing every single aspect of that creature."
said Rohan
"Wow, that's incredible" said Natsuki "There's… just one problem, I've hit a
roadblock in my work, something I'd like to include but have never
experienced." said Rohan "What is it?" asked Natsuki "Yes, there is just one
thing in this world that I have never experienced before." said Rohan, building
up suspense "Come on, tell me!" begged Natsuki. Rohan turned towards her, an
ominous shadow cast over his eyes, his face was stone cold, devoid of emotion.
Slowly he opened his lips and spoke "I've never fucked a cute little Girl like
you before." he said
Natsuki's eyes widened, her blood ran ice cold, her legs felt weak. But even
with weak legs she still turned to run as fast as she could out of the room,
rohan blocked her exit though "No! No! Please! Please don't rape me!" she
begged, crying "Oh Natsuki… I'm not going to rape you" said Rohan, sweetly yet
sadistically "After all, it's not rape if you want it!"
With that Rohan pulled out his gak and held it up to Natsuki's face, she
reluctantly opened her mouth. Rohan slowly inserted his junk into her mouth, he
could see her straining to open her mouth wider, she was too small and his dick
was too big. That wasn't going to stop either of them though.
Rohan's emotionless expression changed to a smug one as his lips curled upward
into a smirk. Her throat was so tight, it was squeezing his dick and he was
loving every second of it, she gagged on his cock, and he moaned in pleasure as
he felt the subtle contortions of her throat massaging his dick. The worst was
yet to come however.
Rohan started thrusting, his dick pumping in and out of her mouth, up and down
her throat. Her mouth was wrapped so tightly around his dick that the outline
of his thrusting cock was clearly visible through her cheeks. She made awful
retching sounds that were muffled by the enormous dong that was filling up her
mouth, but she loved every second of it.
After 20 minutes of non stop facefucking Rohan finally came, he didn't pull out
though, no, that would never satisfy him. He would only be satisfied if he came
down her throat, Natsuki made no attempt to swallow it, so it kept on building
up. Something was going to give, and it wasn't Rohan's huge dick. The pressure
started forcing the cum down her throat, her stomach felt hot as wave after
wave of thick semen was dumped down her esophagus.
Rohan, finally done filling Natsuki's tiny body with his seed pulled his dick
out. Natsuki stood up and then gagged, Rohan knew what was coming. He knelt
down in front of her, his face right beneath hers with his mouth agape as she
threw up all of his semen. Rohan caught it in his mouth, it was vomit comprised
mostly of his semen, but still had what he assumed to be her lunch in there as
well.
It felt odd for Rohan to drink his own semen, but that weirdness didn't last
long. As Natsuki continued to puke, she started running out of semen, and so
she threw up everything else that she ate that day. Rohan enjoyed this special
treat, he loved the way the flavor of the puke gradually changed as Natsuki
puked up different things. She didn't puke in one stream either, it was in
spurts, a lot of times she would miss his mouth and get it on his face or on
his floor, but Rohan didn't mind, it was worth it.
Natsuki finally finished puking and she fainted after the extreme physical
strain she just went through. Rohan stood up and started cleaning up the mess
they made. It took several hours to just do the basic cleaning, and Natsuki
woke up before he could finish. "Oh god, what time is it?" she asked "It's… 8:
00 right now" said Rohan
"Fuck! It's that late! Oh god!" she quickly put on her clothes which were
miraculously puke free and ran home. "God, I show her a good time and she just
leaves!" said Rohan. Natsuki burst through the door to her house to see the
police talking with her dad who looked horrified and stressed.
"Natsuki!" he yelled and ran forward to embrace her "Oh thank god, oh thank
GOD!" he said. This why Natsuki's relationship with her father was so awful, he
was so nice, so kind hearted and loving, and then with a blink of an eye he
became awful, harmful, and abusive. She knew that he couldn't help the things
that he did as the boss, he didn't even know about it, that's why she could
never tell anyone.
She could never turn her father in to the police because he wasn't even really
the one who hurt her, but at the same her fathers kindness made it so much more
painful when the boss attacked her. The trust they had as Father and Daughter
had been destroyed and could never be repaired, she wanted desperately to love
him, but she was unable to out of fear of the boss.
"Where have you been?" asked Doppio, natsuki decided to tell him the truth "I
found out the guy who writes Pink dark Boy lives here, I went to go visit him"
she said "Are you kidding me! Natsuki how foolish can you be? Why would you go
to a strangers house like that! I don't care how famous he is, you never know
what intentions a person might have!" said Doppio, scolding her.
Natsuki couldn't tell him he was wrong, after all she never would have guessed
that Rohan was a pedophile with a puke fetish. Natsuki said nothing, she
honestly felt awful, truly awful that she put her father through this.
Deliberately, as she knew he worried about her being on her own, and for
something so selfish too.
Doppio was still angry, but he could tell Natsuki truly genuinely regretted her
actions. "Don't ever do this again, or I won't allow you to go to your club
after school anymore." said Doppio. Doppio's words registered in her mind like
a knife stabbing her in the head, the literature club is all that she has, she
can't lose that.
"Well officers, I think that's enough, my daughter has returned home" said
Doppio, the police left and went on their way "Listen Natsuki, I really don't
want to take the literature club away from you, but your enjoyment is second to
your safety, and I will not jeopardize you just so you can have fun." "I know
dad…" said Natsuki, holding back tears "Hey, as long as you just come right
home, we shouldn't have any problems okay? I love you Natsuki, I made us some
cupcakes, though they aren't as good as yours" said Doppio
"I love you too dad" said Natsuki, crying not just because of her dad's threat
of no more literature club, but because she knew that this emotional moment
she's having with her father would be destroyed. That her heart would be broken
once again, and no matter how horrible her beating was, she would never be able
to hate him for it.
***** Chapter 4 *****
Natsuki woke up feeling all sorts of things, her throat and stomach burned from
her after school activities with Rohan, something she would not be doing again.
But she also felt refreshed, Diavolo never showed up that night, not to mention
her Dad made dinner, so on a full stomach and a good night's sleep Natsuki was
in a good mood.
Natsuki ambled down the stairs sleepily to find a breakfast waiting for her
"Good morning Natsuki" said Doppio "Didn't bother to get dressed before coming
down here?" Natsuki looked down and saw that she was still in her pajamas "I'll
get dressed after I eat" she said "Alright, I have to go now, important work
for the Boss. I'll see you later, have a wonderful day at school, and remember
to come straight home this time!" said Doppio as he walked out the door.
"Okay dad" said Natsuki who continued to eat her breakfast. Doppio left and
Natsuki finished getting ready for school. Once she was done with everything
she set out and started her daily commute.
As she walked to school she saw Josuke walking with Okuyasu, Sayori, and a some
others she didn't recognize. She was feeling generous today so she decided to
grace them with her presence.
Josuke saw her as she was approaching and called out to her "Hey Natsuki, how's
it going?" "I'm fine, how are you?" she asked "I'm fine as well, so did you
have fun meeting Rohan?" he asked "No" she answered. Josuke was sad to hear
this, he was hoping that he could prove his value as a friend to her by doing
something nice, but she didn't end up liking it.
"It's not your fault or anything, but that Rohan guy is kind of a creep" she
said "Yeah, you're right" said Josuke 'Dammit! What did Rohan do? Lick another
spider right in front of her? How could I have forgotten how weird and
dangerous he can be, I never should have let her go see him alone! What kind of
friend am I? I keep on messing everything up! Not just Natsuki, but Yuri as
well.'
"I'm sorry that you didn't have fun" said Josuke "Sigh, it's fine, I guess"
responded Natsuki "Don't feel bad Josuke, it's Rohan's fault, he can be such a
pretentious jerk sometimes" said Koichi "Huh? Who is this Josuke?" asked
Natsuki
"That's Koichi, you guys should get along well, he likes manga and he's a
really friendly guy." said Josuke. Natsuki smiled at Koichi, but a girl much
taller than both of them glared at her, Josuke leaned over and whispered to her
"That girl is Koichi's girlfriend, she can get really possessive of him, don't
get between her and him and you should be fine. But if you don't she might…
hurt you." Natsuki gulped with nervousness and turned back around.
Sayori watched the scene unfold before her 'It's like I don't even exist
anymore, Natsuki has completely overshadowed me. It's not like I can blame
Josuke for liking her more, she's so assertive and driven, but at the same
time, cute and lovable… and me? I'm worthless, even the few things I can do
well someone else can do better, if I don't bring anything new to anyone then
what's the point in me even being here. But at the same time, Josuke is my only
friend, if I leave him then I really will be worthless, our friendship is the
most defining feature of my existence, and without him life's not worth
living.' she thought as she ambled along with the group, her steps slowing
until she was left behind by Josuke and his friends, no one noticed she was
gone.
Natsuki parted ways with Josuke to attend her classes. She was unusually
attentive today and even answered a few questions in class, she was in a great
mood. As usual she went on her way to the literature club after classes were
over, but as she walked down the empty halls of the school a single figure
walked out in front of her, blocking her path.
Natsuki looked up to see Koichi's girlfriend from this morning 'That girl is
Koichi's girlfriend, she can get really possessive of him, don't get between
her and him and you should be fine. But if you don't she might… hurt you'
thought Natsuki, remembering Josuke's words that morning
"Listen, don't get any ideas, Koichi is mine" said Yukako, the smart thing to
do would be to tell Yukako that Koichi is all hers and that she wasn't
interested in him, but unfortunately Natsuki didn't like to be told what to do,
even if she didn't want to do it in the first place, it's the principle.
"Get out of my way!" she said, big mistake. Yukako glared at Natsuki "Hey! I'm
the one in control here! I'll move when you learn your place and promise never
to come near my Koichi" that was all Natsuki could take "I need to learn my
place? Here you are acting like you're better than me, blocking my way to my
club, wasting my time because you think I'm going to jeopardize your
relationship with your pathetic midget boyfriend" said Natsuki
"Grrrr!" said Yukako, teeth bared in anger "Is your relationship so fragile
that a complete stranger could end it that easily? How insecure can a person
be? Now get out of my way you petty bitch!" said Natsuki
Yukako slapped Natsuki in the face, which Natsuki returned with an even more
vicious slap. Yukako realized that using her hands was pointless, not when she
had her stand. Yukako activated her stand and grabbed Natsuki with her hair and
threw her across the room
"Ugh! What- What kind of monster are you?" asked Natsuki, completely horrified
by the powers Yukako was displaying "Hehehe, maybe next time you'll think twice
before trying to get between me and my love!" she said
Natsuki was scared, it reminded her of when Diavolo would appear, but just like
whenever Diavolo would attack her she felt a deep urge to fight back, to
resist. Yukako smirked as she was thought her victory was assured, but then
Natsuki stood up.
Natsuki's whole body started getting bigger, she grew twice as tall as she was
before, and she developed huge muscles. No bodybuilder on planet earth could
compare to her mass, not even Jonathan Joestar could compete with this level of
physical strength. Natsuki looked Yukako in the eyes and grinned evilly
"What happened? Are you… a stand user as well?" asked Yukako, starting to feel
as if she had made a terrible decision. "I am Buffsuki, whenever Natsuki is in
trouble or needs more power, her repressed inner rage comes forth. She has so
much pent up emotion that it formed a whole second personality within her,
Natsuki has no knowledge of this" said Buffsuki "my only desire is to protect
my other self"
'How is this possible? Two people within the same body?' thought Yukako
"Parfait Girls" said Natsuki, summoning her stand. It was a robot just as tall
and as ripped as Buffsuki, there were several long thin spikes protruding from
its head, it was dressed as an Indian Shaman. There were huge wings coming out
from behind it, they were skeletal and glowed with energy.
It turned towards Buffsuki and with a wave of its Shaman staff a parfait
appeared in Buffsuki's hands. She ate the whole thing extremely quickly, Yukako
panicked, she didn't know what was going on or what her stand did. Yukako tried
to activate her stand but it wasn't working, all of the sudden she was being
strangled by her own hair, her stand was acting on its own.
Endless amounts of hair clogged Yukako's mouth and nose, she was suffocating
"This is the power of my stand, Parfait Girls. It creates a parfait for me to
eat, if I am able to finish eating it then I can control all stands within my
15 meter range for 30 seconds, the more powerful the stand the larger the
parfait is, so it will take me longer to eat it, if there is more than one
stand then their powers will combine into one giant parfait. The most powerful
part of my stand is the effect it has on time. The amount of parfait I have
eaten is not bound by time, so if you rewound time to undo the progress of my
eating it wouldn't work, time would still rewind, but the same amount of
parfait would be there" said Buffsuki.
'Bakana!' thought Yukako 'No stand can be that powerful' "Natsuki doesn't even
know she has this power, and so only I can use it. Sorry Yukako, but you left
me no choice but to use this power on you, leave me alone and no harm will come
to you, do you understand?" asked Buffsuki
Yukako couldn't breathe, she was on the verge of passing out, she violently
nodded her head at Buffsuki's question. At this point it wasn't even a
conscious action, her body was so desperate to breathe that she would do
anything. "Good" said Buffsuki, who then picked up Yukako and threw her out the
open window, luckily they were on the first floor.
Yukako's stand powers were returned to her "Don't tell Natsuki or anyone else
about me, or you'll regret it" said Buffsuki. Yukako nodded once again, not
capable of making any vocal response as she was gasping desperately for air.
Buffsuki walked away from the window and reverted to Natsuki. "Oh god… I'm so
tired…" she looked at the clock "I guess I passed out again, Literature Club is
about to start" she got up and continued her walk down the hall. Yukako
wouldn't be bothering her ever again.
Natsuki opened the door to the literature club and walked in, Sayori was
sulking in the back of the room, which was very unlike her, Monika was late as
usual, Josuke was talking to Yuri. Natsuki didn't mind though, she had a sudden
desire to read parfait girls anyway so she figured that was how she was going
to spend todays club meeting. She went to the closet, got a volume, and started
reading at a desk. It's not like she liked him or anything, b-baka!
Meanwhile, Yuri and Josuke were finally talking to each other. "So Yuri, I'm
really sorry that I made fun of your name, that was a horrible thing to do."
said Josuke, finally trying to salvage a potential friendship "Oh well, I
forgive you, it wasn't really a big deal…" she said softly while playing with
her hair
"No really, I mean it, I want to make it up to you" said Josuke "Oh n-no, you
don't have to do anything." she said shyly "I insist, you told me that you
liked horror right?" "Y-yes" "Well, I happen to have experienced a horror story
first hand" Josuke laughed to himself 'Hahaha, first hand'
"Really?" she asked "Yeah, I came face to face with a real life serial killer"
said Josuke "It all started last summer when I met the ghost of a girl who had
been killed, she couldn't pass on until her murderer was caught, so me and my
friends decided to find him."
Josuke explained the rest of the story in full detail "And in the end, when we
had finally found him, and finally backed him into a corner, he was run over by
an ambulance." he said "Wow, that was a good story, especially the parts with
the Kawajiri's, Shinobu not knowing that her husband was killed and replaced
with a serial killer, and Hayato trying to expose Kira without getting caught,
those were truly some suspenseful moments." said Yuri
"Yeah, it was crazy" said Josuke "You have such a great imagination, you should
turn that into a book" said Yuri "Imagination? That really happened Yuri!" said
Josuke "Hahaha, come on Josuke you can't be serious" said Yuri. Josuke realized
that it was a pretty ridiculous claim to make, "Yeah, okay you got me, but it
was still a good story though!" he said
"Yeah, it was, I loved it." she said "I mean um… It was a good story, I didn't
mean to say anything weird!" "Thank you, hey, where's Monika?" asked Josuke
"She's over there talking to Sayori" said Yuri "Oh yeah that's right, I haven't
talked to Sayori in a while, it was nice talking to you Yuri, I'll see you at
tomorrows club meeting" said Josuke.
Josuke walked over to talk to Monika and Sayori "Hey Sayori, how are you doing"
Sayori immediately perked up "Oh, I'm super duper Josuke!" she said smiling,
Monika stood up "Excuse me Josuke, I have some club business to attend to" and
with that she walked away.
"Sorry that I barely hung out with you at all yesterday." said Josuke "Oh no,
it's fine Josuke, I didn't really mind at all." she said 'Come on, tell him how
you really feel… No, I'm getting upset over nothing, it's not a big deal if he
spends time with Natsuki instead of me, he'll think I'm weird if I tell him how
upset this makes me. He won't be able to do anything because he'll have to bear
my burden, he'll live an unfulfilled life because he was too busy trying to
make sure that I was okay. My happiness isn't worth Josuke's time, he has a
life to live and my problems aren't any of his business or concern.' she
thought.
"Hey, isn't the school festival coming up soon? Man I can't wait, you've never
been to one of our school festivals, you've gotta come with me" said Josuke.
Sayori's heart fluttered, there's nothing she would like to do more than to go
to the festival with Josuke, but is that really what he wants? He's probably
only doing this out of pity, Sayori felt awful, it degraded her knowing that
Josuke felt obligated to make her happy to the point where he would spend his
time with her against his will, there were probably a million other things he
would rather be doing.
"Come on, what is it because of Okuyasu? We can go without him if you want."
said Josuke "You're too kind Josuke, I wouldn't mind going, but wouldn't you
rather go with Natsuki instead?" asked Sayori "Sayori, I only spent one day
with Natsuki, it's not like she's replaced you or anything" Sayori felt some
relief, so she wasn't being replaced by Natsuki, and at the same time it
confirmed that what she was thinking was true, she was worried about nothing,
the pain she felt in her heart was fake, she just needed to get over it.
"In that case, sure, I'll go with you" she said, she hoped she was making the
right choice.
Yuri couldn't contain her excitement anymore, that Josuke just turned her on
too much. She walked into the bathroom and rolled up her sleeves, she used to
bring knives to do this, but ever since she read that book that Monika gave her
she didn't need knives anymore.
Yuri pulled out a pen that she stole from Josuke, she glowed with an aura as
the pen reshaped itself, it became pointy and had an edge sharper than any
blade, this is the power of Yuri's stand, Metal Torrent, it allows her to
sharpen any object. That objects sharpness is beyond any blade a blacksmith
could make, not even a machine could create a sharper blade than this, Yuri's
stand makes an object achieve its maximum sharpness, the sharpest it could
possibly be.
She took a deep breath and barely brushed the blade against her, just the
slight tickling of the blade against her flesh was enough to cut it wide open,
savoring a few more gashes she undid her stand, and the pen turned back to
normal.
***** Chapter 5 *****
Okuyasu walked home on his own as he had done for the past couple of weeks,
normally he would hang out with Josuke, but he was too invested in his book to
stop reading it. He walked up to his room, completely ignoring his retarded
deformed pickle of a dad who was mindlessly mashing two letter blocks together.
‘Man, this book is really good, for some reason I can’t stop reading it, it’s
like my mind was placed in some sort of trace’ thought okuyasu, he walked over
to his room, but then he skipped right past it and kept going down the hall
‘Oh, I wanted to go to my room, but it’s almost like my legs are walking
themselves, oh well, as long as I can keep reading this book I don’t care’
thought Okuyasu
The movement of his legs wasn’t even a conscious thing he was aware of until
now, he was so absorbed in his book that he didn’t even realize it had been
guiding him as he walked. Subconsciously leading him somewhere within his
house. Okuyasu entered his brothers room and wandered over to a corner.
‘Huh, I guess that’s enough reading for today. It’s weird, just a few moments
ago I couldn’t put it down , but suddenly I don’t want to read it at all, I
guess I just got burnt out.’ thought Okuyasu, who proceeded to leave the room
after setting the book down in that corner.
Okuyasu didn’t notice, but there was something hidden in that corner, it was
slightly uncovered by the cracks in the floorboards, but underneath the floor
of Keicho’s room the requiem arrow rested in one of the corners.
In the meantime, the club members continued their meeting, “Wait, you’re going
to the festival with Sayori?” asked Natsuki, Monika perked up. “Um, yeah I am,
sorry if you wanted to go with me natsuki, but honestly I want to go with
Sayori.” said Josuke “What is she like, your girlfriend or something?” asked
Natsuki, it was supposed to make him nervous and embarrassed, but he just
looked disappointed and unamused.
“No she isn’t, that doesn’t mean that I think sayori would make a poor choice
in a partner, but as a statement of fact, she is not my girlfriend.” said
Josuke “And if your jealous or anything then I think it’s important that you
know something. To be honest, I… really don’t like girls…” he blushed with
embarrassment.
There was dead silence in the clubroom, for WAY longer than Josuke was
comfortable with “Oh, I’m sorry, I should have realized sooner.” said Natsuki,
she felt betrayed initially when she heard Josuke say that, she was developing
a little bit of a crush on him, but she realized that it wasn’t really a big
deal. If anything it was a weight off of her shoulders, she could just be
friends with him, and if he has feminine tastes then that’s okay with her, she
has feminine tastes as well. It’s not like he had led her on or anything, if he
hadn’t said anything until later then she would have been upset, but she could
accept this.
As for Sayori, she was taking the news a little rougher. Due to her increasing
depression she had fallen in love with Josuke. I say love, but that’s not
really what it is, she does care about him on a deep level, but the unhealthy
reliance she had developed on him is extremely harmful. She has been projecting
her desires of being a normal, mentally healthy person on the one closest to
her, causing her to cling to him, as if he made her more normal just by them
being around each other, after all, “if somebody like Josuke loved you then you
had to be normal, right?”
But now that ideal self image Sayori had projected onto him was shattered, the
dreams she had of being with him were shattered, and she was absolutely
mortified now that she had no idea what to do. Sayori could no longer make
decisions for herself, she had to have someone do it for her, she had decided
that she wasn’t worthy to choose her life’s direction, but there was no one
left to do that for her, Josuke was her only hope, her only chance to get out
of this endless void of depression, what would she do, where would she live?
She had her whole life planned out with him, and now that wasn’t going to
happen, Sayori didn’t know what she was going to do, and humans always fear
what they do not understand.
And Monika… Oh boy. She was not happy, how is she supposed to make Josuke fall
in love with her if he’s gay? ‘Are you kidding me? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!!!
No… no, I knew this path wouldn’t have been easy, I can still work around this.
I’m just frustrated because I spent so much time working on the other club
members, I spent so much energy controlling Sayori, all of that was a waste.
Not to mention how bad I feel about hurting all of the girls now, its not like
I don’t care about them at all, but I decided that they were worthy sacrifices
for me to be with Josuke, but now I have put them through all of this for
nothing! Most importantly, what do I do now?” she thought.
She decided to start by releasing Sayori from her stand, and secondly, she left
the clubroom to go find Yuri, She would deal with Natsuki’s dad later. Monika
walked down to the girls bathroom, she knew that was where Yuri went to cut.
Monika knew everything about the girls, the book told her. They were all
connected in some way that none of them know about, and that book has something
to do with it, that and Josuke, somehow he fit into all of this as well.
Monika entered the bathroom just as Yuri was leaving “O-oh, hello Monika” she
said nervously “Oh, Yuri, I was just looking for you, why don’t we go talk?”
said Monika “S-sure, okay” said Yuri. They walked away from the bathroom
together.
“So what did you want to talk about?” asked Yuri “Well Yuri, it seems that
you’ve been making frequent trips to the bathroom, listen, I know what you’ve
been doing and you need to stop, it’s not good for you.” said Monika.
Yuri’s eyes widened, she was not expecting Monika to figure her out, and
certainly not this quickly. Yuri grabbed a pen and activated her stand, “Yuri?”
Monika asked the other girl who had gone silent, she turned towards her only to
see a pen coming towards her face. Monika dodged just in time, but even though
the pen missed she still got cut, it sliced through the air so sharply that
even the air it displaced was sharp enough to cut her.
The pen flew through the air and completely penetrated the wall behind her, and
became deeply embedded in the wall behind that. Monika had participated in some
athletics, but she couldn’t keep dodging Yuri’s attacks, she was swinging
wildly at her, one swipe from her pen would mean instant death.
Monika ran while trying to talk some sense into Yuri with her stand, it wasn’t
the combat type so this was the best that she could do. “Yuri, stop please!
Think about what you’re doing, you’ll kill me if you keep doing this!” but Yuri
kept on slashing, as if Monika had said nothing.
‘Why isn’t my stand working? I know I used it. Is it possible that I can’t undo
her madness because it was caused by the book?’ thought monika as she ran ‘But
does that mean Yuri’s stand can’t affect me either?’
Monika tried activating her stand one last time as Yuri swiped her blade at her
once more, the simultaneous use and contact of their stand energies must have
triggered something, for both of their stands automatically deactivated
themselves.
Yuri looked confused “What happened, w-what did I just do?” she asked
fearfully. ‘She stopped, and it looks like she’s regained her senses. But how?
Maybe it was because we were both affected by the book that we can’t attack
each other, our stands were given to us by the book and we can’t use them on
each other because they aren’t even ours, we borrowed them from the same
place.’ thought Monika.
“I don’t understand, I-I didn’t mean to do any of that I’m sorry! I’m truly
sorry Monika, please, I didn’t mean to do this.” blubbered Yuri, completely
horrified that she had just tried to kill somebody, “It’s okay Yuri, I don’t
think you were in control of your actions.” said Monika ‘I should tell her,
it’s for her own good’
“What? What are you talking about? This is my fault, I tried to do something
horrible, don’t try and shift the blame off of me, this is my responsibility.”
said Yuri “No, I really think something was controlling you.” said Monika,
“Monika, I don’t mean to sound rude, but are you okay? It isn’t possible for
something like that to happen, if I wasn’t controlling my body then who was?”
asked Yuri
“Not who, what.” said Monika “I think it was that book I gave you, Portrait of
Markov.” “A book controlling people? You can’t be serious Monika, I’m not
stupid you know! I’m trying to be serious right now, are you telling me this
just to mess with my head?” asked Yuri “No, you gained an ability after reading
it, didn’t you?” asked Monika.
“An ability?” asked Yuri, “The one that you just used to attack me!” said
Monika “I was just using a pen, what does that have to do with an ability?”
asked Yuri “Your ability, you used it to sharpen the pen.” said Monika “I-
I don’t remember that.” said Yuri.
“Listen to me Yuri, I need you to close your eyes.” Yuri complied “Now, imagine
you soul as actual tangible force, imagine your desire to hurt yourself and
project it out onto that pen.” said Monika, the pen that Yuri held twisted and
contorted into a spike and then flattened itself out into a razor sharp blade.
“Now be extremely careful, that pen is sharp enough to cut your arm off in one
slash.” said Monika, Yuri slowly opened her eyes and looked at the pen she had
transformed in her hand “I did this? This is my ability?” asked Yuri.
“Yes, that is called your stand” said Monika “A stand?” “It’s like a guardian
spirit with special powers, I have one as well.” said Monika “What? You too?
Why is this happening? How did we gain powers?” asked Yuri.
“It must have been that book, I got my powers after I read it, then I gave it
to you and you got a power too, you also went a little crazy.” said Monika
“Wait, Monika, this is too much, I-I just discovered I could do something I
thought only existed in fiction, there’s a magical book that gave us super
powers? And it controls people? This is too insane!” said Yuri.
“It is insane, and i think that this is just the beginning of what’s to come.”
said Monika “What do you mean? What’s going to happen?” asked Yuri “I don’t
know, I can just tell that something is wrong, it’s as if an invisible hand of
some force beyond our understanding is setting things into motion.” said Monika
“How do you know!” asked Yuri fearfully, the idea that there was some impending
doom for all of them terrified her. “I can just tell, it’s just like how you
can feel the rumblings of an oncoming train before it arrives.” said Monika.
“Monika, you can’t just tell me this, it’s too much, I don’t even believe you,
this is nonsense, something like this just can’t happen!” said Yuri “Aren’t our
stands just as odd? Come on Yuri, the world we live in is not as normal as we
thought it was, the sooner you can accept that the safer you’ll be, accept this
worlds risks and dangers and you can avoid them. We need to figure how to stop
whatever’s going to happen, we are the only ones that can do it.” said Monika.
“I need to think about this Monika, I-I’m still not sure if if you’re being
serious.” said Yuri “I am being dead serious, this not a joke, there is nothing
funny about this.” said Monika “O-okay fine, you’re serious, but that doesn’t
mean I believe what you said is true, I need to figure this out, please just
let me think about this.” said Yuri. “Fine, but you don’t have much time.” said
Monika.
The bell rang, signifying that all after school activities were now over.
“You’d better go home now Yuri, you have a lot to think about,” said Monika,
“Yes, you’re right, I’ll see you tomorrow.” said Yuri, her voice quivering with
uncertainty, was she right or was monika right? ‘Alright, that’s enough of Yuri
for now, next up is the book, where is it?’ thought Monika.
“Huh, well I guess it’s time to go.” said Natsuki “Monika and Yuri both left
and haven’t come back yet.” said Sayori “True, but come on, I’m sure they’re
fine.” said Josuke “Yeah Sayori, lets just go.” said Natsuki “Hey guys, it’s
okay to leave, I’m fine.” said Monika who just entered the room.
“Oh, Monika have you seen Yuri?” asked Sayori “Yeah, in fact we were just
talking before I came in here.” answered Monika “Alright, well I’ll see you
tomorrow!” said Sayori, and she left the clubroom with Josuke and Natsuki.
***** Chapter 6 *****
AN: Do people actually read this?
At the end of our last chapter, Monika confronted Yuri who had gained a stand,
now as Yuri struggles to come to terms with the events unfolding, Monika must
search for the book, which holds some dark connection to them all.
Natsuki rushed home so she wouldn’t be late, while Sayori and Josuke went home
together as usual, but they didn’t know Monika was following them ‘If Josuke’s
gay then that changes everything, I have to completely rework my plan, and step
one is recon… how do I get to him.’ she thought while observing from a
distance.
“Oh hey, Sayori, Okuyasu just texted me, he’s at the cafe down the road.” said
Josuke “Do you want to go talk to him?” asked Sayori “Yeah, he’s been so busy
reading that book that we’ve barely hung out at all.” said Josuke “I don’t mind
if you come with me, I know you’re probably hungry.”
“Oh come on Josuke, you’ll make me feel guilty, I’ll go with you, but don’t you
dare pay for it all yourself.” said Sayori with a smile “That’s fine, come on
we’re almost there.” said Josuke. He and Sayori picked up their pace as they
made their way to the cafe, Monika stealthily followed.
“Hey! Okuyasu! Been a while since we spoke! Finally finish that book?” asked
Josuke “Nah, I got tired of reading it man.” said Okuyasu “Is that so? You were
so invested in it too.” said Josuke “Yeah, I don’t really understand why, it
doesn’t really matter anyway.” said Okuyasu.
Josuke and Sayori took a seat next to okuyasu in the cafe’s outdoor dining
area. “Man, what we really need to talk about is your sexuality Josuke.” said
Okuyasu “Um, excuse me? I really don’t want to discuss that.” said Josuke “Nah
dude, nah, we’re gonna talk about it.” said Okuyasu “Come on Okuyasu, he said
he doesn’t want to talk about it.” said Sayori.
“Sayori, did you know that this faggot said he loved me the other day?” asked
Okuyasu “Hey! Stop bullying Josuke, he’s free to love whoever he wants!” said
Sayori “Sure, as long as that person isn’t me! I’m not gay!” said Okuyasu.
Monika, who was still watching, heard everything Okuyasu said ‘Josuke loves
Okuyasu… Well, looks like my plan can still work out after all, instead of
taking out the other girls, I’ll take out his closest friend.’ she thought.
“Okuyasu, I think you’re overreacting.” said Josuke “I’m not overreacting! Your
kind is an abomination!” said Okuyasu “Hey! There’s no room for people like you
in our friend group! There’s nothing wrong with being gay!” said Sayori.
“Oh is that so?” asked Okuyasu “Please, I’ve done my research on this,
homosexuality is a mental disease.” “What the fuck are you talking about
Okuyasu?” asked Josuke “Think about it Josuke, why do humans have sexual
feelings? It’s because of the chemicals and hormones in our body, love is just
a trick our dumb baboon minds came up with to make us reproduce. What I’m
trying to say, is that the whole reason we have sexual feelings is for the
purpose of reproduction and nothing else, love does not matter. And so the only
way for us humans to reproduce is Heterosexual sex, for you to be attracted to
anything but that can only be deemed as a malfunction in your brain. The sole
purpose of life is to make more life, every animal knows that, I’m a fucking
idiot and I know that, so for you to go against that, there must be something
very wrong with you.”
Josuke and Sayori were speechless, Okuyasu wasn’t finished yet though “People
with deficient brains like yours are less than human, and will only drag the
rest of us down. It’s only a matter of time before god destroys this town for
its sins. I’ve already died once and come back Josuke, I believe that the
reason I returned to this world was to teach the good lord’s word, that all
gays must be killed!”
“Okuyasu! This isn’t funny, if you keep on talking like this I won’t be friends
with you anymore!” said Josuke “It’s not a joke Josuke, if you don’t want to be
friends with me then fine, I’m not doing this for our friendship, I’m doing
this for god. Lord, I’m taking matters into my own hands now, please be with
me!” said Okuyasu, standing up and raising his hands to the sky in prayer.
“Taking what into your own hands Okuyasu? What are you doing?” asked Josuke,
Sayori looked very concerned as well, but what josuke was saying was exactly
what she would have said, so she kept quiet. “The Lord shouldn’t have to waste
his energy in destroying this town. Don’t you get it Josuke? The only thing
needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing! If god has to
intervene then that means that I’ve failed as his disciple, that’s why I’m
taking matters into my own hands.” said Okuyasu.
Okuyasu pulled a large stone out from his pocket “Ever since I had this
realization I’ve always carried a stone with me just in case.” he said “In
case… what?” asked Josuke nervously. “IN CASE I EVER NEEDED TO STONE A FAGGOT
LIKE YOU! DIE AND BURN IN HELL FOREVER!!!” screamed Okuyasu who swung his fist
at Josuke, stone in hand.
“DORA!” yelled Josuke, summoning Crazy Diamond to knock Okuyasu’s hand out of
the way. “What the hell happened to you Okuyasu! Go home! You can come back
when you stop acting like this.” said Josuke, who turned around and stormed
off, Sayori went with him.
Okuyasu growled and picked the stone back up, he turned to Josuke and held up
his arm to throw it, but that’s when Monika intervened, she grabbed his arm and
forced it to his side. Okuyasu turned to Monika and glared at her as he tried
to pull his arm free “Hey! Let go of me!” he said.
Monika activated her stand “Stop yelling and calm down!” she said, Okuyasu
started to feel an urge to calm down, “N-No way! I can’t let a person like him
go!” he said “Listen to me Okuyasu, what you’re doing is wrong!” Okuyasu
finally stopped resisting. “What do you mean?” he asked.
“Okuyasu, there is nothing wrong with what Josuke is doing.” she said “But-but
it’s unnatural! I’m the one in the right here! I’m trying to preserve the human
race!” said Okuyasu. Monika strained, her stand uses up a lot of mental energy,
she can only keep doing this for a little longer. “Okuyasu, Josuke’s sexuality
will not damage the integrity of mankind, it will do no harm, let it go.” she
said “But I am carrying out the lord’s will, I am his instrument and I will not
be deterred by a faggot lover like you!” said Okuyasu, he took a step in her
direction.
Monika could tell that Okuyasu was about to loose it again, this was it, the
last of her stand power for now, she had to make it count, really dig deep on
this one…. “Okuyasu you’re just jealous that you don’t have a penis!” she said.
The look on Okuyasu’s face was a mixture of shock and embarrassment, “H-how did
you know about that?” he asked “I know everything Okuyasu, I know that God
isn’t real, and I know that this is all just an act to mask your shame.” she
said.
“No! That’s not true!” said Okuyasu “Your purpose in life is just a figment of
your imagination that your brain created to help you cope with your pitiful
existence.” said Monika “My existence is not pitiful!” argued Okuyasu.
“You can lie to me all you want, but you can never lie to yourself.” said
Monika, she raised a hand to her head, this was starting to be too much. She
hadn’t expected Okuyasu to be that resilient, the strain was increasing with
every word she spoke.
“Okuyasu, all that you’ve managed to do is drive away all of those who cared
about you for the sake of this pretend god. You made him up, you made up this
assignment he has given you, think about all you have thrown away, you’re
nothing without your friends and now you’ll never get them back. Think back
throughout your life, when have you done anything that wasn’t related to
someone else’s goals and dreams, it’s as if you have no aspirations of your
own, this late into your life it should become apparent that the only destiny
‘god’ has assigned you is to be the lapdog to more important people for the
rest of your life, yet you rejected even that. You truly have nothing, you are
the saddest man that has ever lived Okuyasu.”
“Noooo! My life is more important than that!” said Okuyasu, but he really
didn’t seem to believe it anymore “Go kill yourself you dickless freak.” said
Monika and she turned and walked away. Okuyasu watched her, but all he thought
of was what she had said to him, he dropped to his knees and bawled
hysterically as the many layers of emotion he had pent up were finally all
destroyed by her hateful words. Okuyasu was completely and utterly broken
inside.
As Monika disappeared into the crowd of people in the streets, Koichi emerged.
Koichi, saw the state Okuyasu was in and rushed over to him like the good boy
he is. “Ummm, Okuyasu, are you okay?” he asked.
“Koichi, listen man, you don’t need to ask me if I’m okay, I’m obviously not
okay.” said Okuyasu. “Sorry, what can I do to help you out?” asked Koichi,
“Nothing really, I can get over this on my own.” said Okuyasu “I’m not feeling
to well so I’m going home, I think I’ll go to bed early today.” he said, “Okay,
get some rest Okuyasu, hey maybe you’ll finally be to school on time tomorrow?”
said Koichi optimistically “Yeah, for sure.” said Okuyasu who walked away from
Koichi back towards his home.
Koichi thought about his encounter with Okuyasu, he seemed really upset, but
Okuyasu doesn’t really talk about his problems. If was serious enough, Koichi
trusted Okuyasu to come to his friends for help. Koichi continued on his way
home, he texted Josuke ‘Hey Josuke, Okuyasu just had a mental breakdown. Can
you check on him tomorrow morning to make sure he’s okay?’ Koichi waited but
Josuke didn’t respond.
Josuke actually did receive Koichi’s text though, he just chose to ignore it
‘Yeah right! I don’t care how upset that bastard is, I’m still pissed at him!’
he thought as he continued to play his legally safe knock offs of N64 games.
The next morning Josuke left the house in a glow of heavy makeup and bad
fashion, he was feeling especially refreshed that day. And as he has done for
every other day, Jojo walked to school, skipping past Okuyasu’s house.
Before too long he merged with the crowd of fellow students as he made it to
the courtyard in front of the school. He saw Koichi along with Yukako and
Sayori and approached them. “Hey guys, good morning!” he said “Josuke? Where’s
Okuyasu?” asked Koichi “Huh, I don’t know? Still at home probably.” answered
Josuke.
“Didn’t you get that text i sent you?!” asked Koichi “Yeah” “Well then why
didn’t you check on him?” asked Koichi “Cause fuck him” said Josuke. Koichi
glared hard at Josuke before running away from the school to Okuyasu’s house.
“Hey! Wait!” said Josuke who ran after him.
They ran all the way back to Okuyasu’s house and Koichi opened the door without
even knocking first. It had been a long time since he was so worried, together
they ran up the stairs to Okuyasu’s room. They abruptly stopped before entering
though.
Outside of Okuyasu’s room Koichi knocked on the door “Okuyasu” he said, no
response. Koichi gently opened up the door “Okuya-” Koichi didn’t finish his
sentence, for inside they found that Okuyasu had hung himself.
***** Chapter 7 *****
"Oh my god OH MY GOD!" screamed Koichi, Josuke ran over to Okuyasu and used
Crazy Diamond to snap the rope and fix Okuyasu's broken neck. "He…. He's dead…
even though I healed him, my Crazy Diamond can't bring him back."
Josuke couldn't help it anymore, he just lost it as he bawled over Okuyasu's
corpse, Koichi minded his distance, but he was crying too. "Damn it, why?" said
Josuke "After we defeated Kira we were so happy to be alive, we never thought
anything like this would ever happen again, but now I'm even more scared then I
was then…"
"O-Okuyasu… no…." said Koichi, he fell to his knees, "Damn it, my best friend,
I thought we would keep being friends forever, hell, I even hoped we would be
more than that, but now I have nothing" said Josuke, but it seems at that
moment he realized something.
'Why am I doing this? I'm making Okuyasu's death about me, I'm being selfish,
I'm disgracing him… In fact… maybe our fights recently had something to do with
this. Dammit, I should have noticed that something was wrong!' he thought.
Josuke wiped his eyes 'I have to start making up for it now' standing up he
walked over to Koichi and put his arm on his shoulder "Hey Koichi, come on,
let's go, we need to call the police" he said "O-okay, yeah, we should go tell
someone about this." Josuke helped Koichi to his feet, they passed through the
doorway whenever they heard a sound.
"Hey, what was that? It sounded like the front door!" said Josuke, he turned
and ran to the window to see Monika running away from the house while holding a
book "Is that… the book Okuyasu was reading?" Koichi walked to the window as
well "Wait! Look, she's carrying something else as well!" he said.
Josuke looked closer and saw that she was holding the stand arrow "I-It's the
arrow! Monika has the arrow!" he said "But why? Why would she have that?" asked
Koichi "There's no time to think about it!" said Josuke, he broke the window
and jumped out of it, he slid down the overhang beneath his window and landed
safely on the ground, Koichi did the same and they started chasing Monika.
As they trailed her Josuke could only wonder if she had something to do with
what happened to Okuyasu, god help her if she was responsible. Monika ran
straight to the school and into the Literature Club room, seconds after she
entered Josuke and Koichi busted down the door.
"Monika! What are you doing with that arrow!?" asked Josuke, "Oh good, Josuke's
here now, then I guess it's time to get started." she said "Get started?" asked
Josuke, confused he looked around to see the whole club was there.
"What's going on?" he asked "I called them here, there's something I need your
help for." answered Monika "Listen to me Monika, that arrow is dangerous, I
need you to give it to me, it's not an ordinary arrow." said Josuke.
"Josuke, I know exactly what this arrow does, that's why I took it." she said
"What!? Are you our enemy?" asked Josuke "No, I'm anything but that, I know a
way to set everything right." she said "What does that mean? What's wrong with
the way things are?" he asked.
"The literature club isn't supposed to exist, none us are supposed to be here,
me, natsuki, sayori, and yuri, we were all brought here somehow." said Monika
"What are you on Monika? Is this a joke?" asked Natsuki "Monika, you're
starting to creep me out." said Sayori.
"All I need to do to understand everything is this book, and this arrow, now
just let me do this!" said Monika "Wait! Why do you need me? And I can
understand the arrow, but what does Okuyasu's book have to do with this?" asked
Josuke.
"This isn't Okuyasu's book, It's mine, I have no idea how he got it." said
Monika, Yuri got worried after hearing this. That book turned her insane and
gave her a stand, what effect could it have had on Okuyasu? "Um.. Monika…" she
mumbled.
'Shit, she's catching on.' thought Monika "Don't say a word Yuri!" she yelled
"Hey! What the hell? Why can't she talk?" asked Josuke "Yeah Monika! You can't
just take advantage of Yuri's submissive personality like that!" said Natsuki
"What are you hiding?" asked Koichi.
"All of you shut up!" she yelled, she wanted to use her stand to make her words
carry more weight, but she couldn't let Josuke see her stand. "Okay, now I know
that you're hiding something from me! Give me that arrow now!" said Josuke as
he advanced towards Monika.
'I'm out of time, it's now or never!' she thought, she brought the arrow down
and pierced the book with it before Josuke could get there. "THREE FREEZE!"
yelled Koichi, he made Monika's hand heavier so that she couldn't move so she
wasn't able to stab the book in time.
"No! What is this? Why is my hand so heavy!" she asked, but upon seeing the
figure floating next to Koichi she knew that it must be his stands power. "The
target has been stopped, BITCH!" said Act 3. Monika had no choice, she was
backed into a corner, she had to use her stand.
Focusing all of her power into one move she became imbued with stand aura
"Koichi! She's a stand user! She's going to attack!" said Josuke, but all
Monika did was talk "Josuke! Punch Koichi and knock him out!" she yelled.
Normally she needs to say several phrases to convince someone to do something
with her stand, but since she basically used up all of her energy in one
sentence it was extra effective.
Josuke obeyed and punched Koichi as hard as he could in the face, all of the
other club members shrieked at the violence. Do you guys remember that one
episode where Hazamada's stand controls Josuke and he punches Koichi? It's like
that, Koichi ain't coming back from that one, he's done.
"W-wait, I didn't mean to do that." before Josuke could piece together what was
going on Monika leapt for the arrow that she had dropped. In this moment,
Josuke had two choices, stop Monika, or heal Koichi, luckily it didn't have to
come to that because Yuri finally stepped in. She tackled Monika and pinned her
to the ground.
"Dammit Yuri get the fuck off of me!" said Monika, she was all out of stand
power, and she wasn't strong enough to break free. "No way Monika! Whatever
you're going to do will hurt my friends! I won't help you in your plans, I'm
going to stop you, you're acting insane!" said Yuri "Josuke, now's your chance
do whatever you need to do!" she yelled.
"Thanks Yuri, I guess I could count on you after all." said Josuke, he ran to
Koichi and started healing him "What the fuck is happening? What are these
things everywhere? Am I hallucinating?" asked Natsuki "What things are you
talking about Natsuki? I don't see anything." said Sayori.
Josuke finished healing Koichi "Koichi! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do that!
I think her stand might be able to control me somehow!" he said "Ow… It's fine
Josuke, but I guess that means we can't really trust anyone right now." said
Koichi. "I'm not so sure, if she can control people then why doesn't she move
Yuri? I think she can only use it for a limited amount of time!" he said.
"Use what? What is a stand? Is that what you call those floating spirits?"
asked Natsuki, everybody turned to her "What's wrong?" she asked "You can see
them?" asked Josuke "Um.. yes?" she answered, "Natsuki's a stand user as well?"
asked Koichi "Of course she is!" yelled Monika, still pinned under Yuri.
"You knew?" asked Josuke "I know everything about the club members!" said
Monika "Is Sayori a stand user." asked Josuke "Hmmm… I don't know." said Monika
"Which one is it Monika? Do you know or not?!" asked Josuke, "It's like I said,
I know everything about the club members, it's all in that book, but why would
I tell you anything?" said Monika.
Josuke picked up the book "I should destroy this book." he said, he summoned
Crazy Diamond and tried to rip apart the book but it wouldn't work "What? Why
won't it break?" asked Josuke "Hehehe" laughed Monika "Just what is this book?"
asked Josuke, he opened up the book and read it.
"It's… blank?" he said "You fool, the book only responds to club members for
some reason." said Monika "So it's no use?" he said "That's right." said Monika
"Well, then, if I can't destroy this then I'll just have to make sure nobody
can ever use it again!" he said. Crazy Diamond ripped apart the metal bars on
the chairs and desks and fixed them together so that the book could not be
opened.
"I'll be holding on to this" said Josuke "So what are we going to do with
Monika?" asked Sayori "I don't really understand what's going on." "It's okay
Sayori, I'll explain everything to you once this is over, I just have a little
more to talk with Monika about." he answered.
Josuke faced Monika, she could feel his menacing gaze see right into her soul,
whatever he was about to ask her she had to answer truthfully, he would be able
to tell if she was lying. "Did you use your stand to make Okuyasu kill
himself?" he asked.
"What? Wait, Josuke, what did you say about Okuyasu?" asked Sayori, Natsuki and
Yuri looked blown away by what they just heard. Monika took this moment to
throw Yuri off of her now that she was distracted "Ah! No, She's getting away!"
yelled Yuri, who tried to rebound and pin Monika once again, but she reached
the arrow before she could.
"She's going to get the arrow, I can't make it in time!" said Yuri "THREE
FREEZE!" yelled Act 3, saving the day once again. "Phew, thank god we have you
here Koichi!" said Josuke, "Keep her there for a while, the others need to know
what's happening." Josuke faced natsuki and Sayori and prepared to tell them
the truth.
"All of you listen to me, Koichi and I found Okuyasu dead in his bedroom this
morning… he hung himself." The girls all looked horrified and disgusted "How
gruesome, poor Okuyasu." said Yuri, Sayori just started crying while Natsuki
looked like she was trying to tough through the pain. "I have no idea why he
did it, and I might not ever know, but one thing I do know is that after he
hung himself Monika came running out of his house while carrying a book that he
owned and the stand arrow as well."
"Monika… what were you doing there?" asked a sniveling Sayori, still believing
that there was some good in Monika "I was stealing the book and the arrow… I
need them to complete my plan!" said Monika "There's more!" said Josuke "You
gained a stand as well, all you did was tell me to punch Koichi and I did it,
you must have the power to control people in some way, don't you. You used that
power to make Okuyasu kill himself."
Monika was silent "So what even are stands?" asked Natsuki "They're powers that
some people just happen to possess, but you can also get one if you're pierced
by that arrow, we had a lot of trouble with that not very long ago, the fact
that Monika has it can't be good. I should mention that only a person with a
stand can see stands." said Josuke.
"So, are you saying that me and Yuri have powers too?" asked Natsuki "Actually,
I've known for some time now." said Yuri "I guess this means Sayori doesn't
have a stand, it may seem like a bad thing, but you should be grateful that you
don't have one, now you won't be targeted." said Josuke.
"Targeted?!" asked Natsuki and Yuri simultaneously "Yeah, well let's just say
that stand users are connected to each other, they'll find each other
eventually, even by accident, and you can only hope that whoever that person
is, they aren't out to get you." after that last part Josuke looks Monika in
the eye before turning back to the others.
"I think Monika is one of those people, any strange things happening to you
guys may have been a result of her powers, but we can talk about that later,
for now I just need to know one thing. Monika, did you or did you not use your
stand to influence Okuyasu's suicide?" he asked.
'This is it' thought Monika 'It's all over, I failed.' she could see her plan
crumbling away before her. No, was it even her plan? All of this she learned
from the book, she felt an overwhelming desire to follow the books
instructions, like it was only natural, like it was something she had always
wanted to do and just never knew until now.
But now her journey was over, after Josuke found out the truth behind Okuyasu's
suicide he would kill her, but if she couldn't live in the reality she wanted,
then she would rather die. Monika accepted her imminent death completely, but
only for a second. In that second that she gave up she resurged even stronger
than before.
She would not die because shit did not belong in this world, instead she will
make this world belong to her, she would find the world she was meant to be in,
she would find the world that felt real to her. She would find… 'Reality'.
But what could she do? She was under the effects of Act 3, and Josuke was
awaiting her answer, and as she looked for her answer out of this mess, she
came back to the same thing that started it all. Her eyes were drawn to the
book, Portrait of Markov, just laying there, sealed shut with metal. She
wondered why she decided to look at that of all things, but when she looked up
she saw that Sayori was staring at the book as well.
Sayori had a mesmerized look on her face, Monika knew that look, it was the
same look she and Yuri both had when they first saw it. It was only a matter of
time, she couldn't be luckier, Sayori was finally feeling the pull of the book.
Monika had regenerated a tiny amount of her previously expended stand power and
she released it towards Sayori "Do it" she whispered, Sayori didn't even
understand what she said, but so long as she heard it it was enough, "Huh, what
was that you said Monika? Answer me dammit!" said Josuke.
Monika's stand activated and sayori was just barely pushed towards the book,
but the combined pull was just barely able to overpower her and she picked the
book up. "Josuke, I should have told you something." said Monika "The book, it
was blank for me as well, but it didn't matter, you don't need to read it."
"What does that mean?" asked Josuke "Don't try and change the subject!" "It
means that you don't have to read it, the book speaks to you, in your mind. Do
you really think that reading could drive me insane? No, it can't, it was the
voice in my head, telling me enough to understand, but withheld enough to
intrigue me, that's why I started following it in the first place, and it seems
like sayori is next." said Monika
"Huh, Sayori!?" said Josuke who turned around quickly to see Sayori holding the
portrait of Markov "Sayori! Put that down! It's dangerous!" yelled Josuke
"Sayori please, that book is evil!" yelled Yuri "Sayori, listen to us! Put down
that book!" yelled Natsuki "Don't listen to them Sayori! This is your destiny!"
screamed Monika.
Sayori started to glow with stand energy, she looked at Monika "No… what is
this? This can't be it… THIS CAN'T BE ALL THERE IS TO LIFE!" she screamed.
Everyone was shocked, even Monika "Sayori what's wrong with you" asked Monika,
'This wasn't supposed to happen.' she thought. "I-I understand everything
Monika, why this is all happening, I've found out what it is that you want to
know." said Sayori.
***** Chapter 8 *****
“Not gonna lie Sayori, your existential breakdown was a bit too edgy for me.”
said Josuke “Hey, I just had the secrets of the universe revealed to me, try to
be a little more considerate.” said Sayori “Who cares about how you feel? Just
tell me what you found out!” demanded Monika. “Your theory is true, we were all
put here by someone else, this isn’t our world. When we were sent here, the
book followed us, we were always meant to find it, it only wants to put things
back to the way they were, to set things right.” said Sayori.
“Well that can’t be so bad, so why are we trying to stop Monika?” asked
Natsuki. “Because, she went too far to achieve her goals, you could have just
asked Okuyasu for the book, you didn’t have to kill him!” said Josuke. “Oh…
yeah I actually never thought of that.” said Monika. “You fucking bitch, I
won’t forgive you for what you’ve done!” said Josuke.
“There’s more Josuke” said Sayori “There’s more that we still don’t know about,
I don’t know why I was given this knowledge, maybe it’s because I’m the vice
president, but if Monika gets the book again, then there’s no telling how
powerful she will become.” “Then I guess I better put her out now before she
gets that chance.” said Josuke.
“What? No! Nononononono, this can’t be happening!” said Monika, veins popping
out of her forehead as she tried to push herself up, but three freeze was just
too much “If you don’t let me have that book then something terrible will
happen, I’m sure of it! If I can’t set things right, then Yuri, Natsuki, and
Sayori will all meet some sort of horrific end! It is their destiny to die over
and over again, but that book is the one chance we have at preventing that! NOW
LET ME GO!” pleaded Monika.
“Hey Monika, what if I just kill you and then we use the book without you.”
said Josuke “Everyone wins except for you, it’s the perfect ending.” “Would you
really kill me Josuke?” asked Monika “You goddamn believe I will! You think
after what happened to Okuyasu that you don’t deserve it? I’m going to waste
your smug ass, and I’m going to enjoy it.” responded Josuke maliciously.
“Don’t think that you aren’t a part of this Josuke, I’m not really sure how or
why, but I know that you fit into all of this somehow.” said Monika “And if you
kill me, then you’ll never find out.” “Who says I’ll never find out? Don’t
underestimate me Monika, I’ll kill you, and then I’ll go find answers for
myself.” said Josuke.
‘Dammit, I can’t convince him to let me go. Sayori only bought me a little bit
of time, I need a way out!’ thought Monika ‘Everything I do just ends up making
things harder for me, every action I’ve taken so far to achieve my goals has
only ensured that they’ll never come to fruition. Hell, I don’t even know what
my goals are at this point, Do I even want to do this? Or does someone else
want me to do this. I want to take that book and gain ultimate power, I know at
least that much, but… why do I even want that in the first place? I feel like
I’m being manipulated, like instead of me using the book to achieve my goals,
it’s the other way around, this was never my plan, it was the Portrait of
Markov’s.’
“Now, how should I finish you? Nothing to gruesome, I don’t want to traumatize
the others” said Josuke. ‘Why do I even care? If I’m an instrument of fate then
so be it! I’ve never had any will of my own anyway! I wish I had a chance to
make my own path, but sadly it seems that no matter what world I’m in that will
never happen. So I’ll just become the monster they all think I am.’ thought
Monika.
“In fact, you know what, you guys should probably leave. Natsuki, Yuri, Sayori,
I don’t want you to see what’s about to happen.” said Josuke “Josuke, you can’t
be serious! You can’t kill Monika!” said Natsuki “Josuke! Please, don’t do
this! It’s horrible!” begged Sayori. “Trust me, Monika isn’t the worst I’ve
seen, I’ve never killed before, but I’ve gotten about as close as you can to
it. People like her don’t learn, no punishment will ever be enough to repay the
life she stole!” said Josuke.
‘Wait, what if that story he told me about the murderer... all of those
horrific things… were they all true?’ thought Yuri, she could sort of
understand where Josuke was coming from. “Natsuki, Sayori, lets go” she said
“What? Yuri you can’t be serious!” said Natsuki “Yuri?” questioned Sayori.
“Josuke, I know what you have to do, I’ll get them out of here.” said Yuri.
“Thank you Yuri.” said Josuke, he walked over to Monika and threw a punch with
Crazy Diamond right at her head, just before he made contact though, he found
himself standing back where he started. Monika was fine, three freeze had
ended, and the book was in her hands. “What! What just happened?” asked Josuke.
“Who cares how it happened? It’s great! Now I can finally do this!” yelled
Monika, she was holding the stand arrow in one hand and stabbed the book with
it. The book became imbued with stand aura as it evolved into something even
more powerful. “Behold, Portrait of Mrakov Requiem.” said Monika.
The Book opened and a blinding light engulfed Monika, when it ended she was
glowing with stand aura as well. “Ooooh…. YES! YEEES! I get it! I finally get
it! It all makes sense now!” said Monika. “What makes sense, nothing has made
any sense at all so far!” asked Josuke “What happened to Three Freeze? What
happened to my punch? How did you get that book?”
“Well seeing as how I know everything, and there’s not a chance of any of you
being able to defeat me, I might as well tell you. After all, I’m not nearly
heartless enough to make you go through all of this without knowing why.” said
Monika “As for what just happened, that was Sayori’s stand, she probably didn’t
know that she had it, it’s an automatic stand called “Rules of Nature”, and its
ability is simply to allow fate to arrive at the outcome of least resistance.”
“What does that mean?” asked Josuke “Monika are you bullshitting us right now?”
asked Natsuki “No, I think she’s telling the truth.” said Yuri “Scary… I don’t
want to be a part of this anymore…” said Sayori, starting to tear up “Hey,
don’t worry, me and Josuke can handle this!” said Koichi “Three freeze!” he
yelled. Monika was thrown to the ground “Three Freeze successful bitch!” said
Echoes, but in an instant the three freeze was removed, Monika was standing,
and Koichi hadn’t moved an inch.
“This is what I meant by the path of least resistance, the book has already
predetermined the future to follow it’s plans. Basically, the book manipulates
fate so that it always does what it wants, you are trying to prevent that fate,
and you could potentially do it if you try hard enough, but Rules of Nature
prevents that, since this is fate’s natural course, and the stand power makes
fate that course.” said Monika.
“But how does this book have that kind of power in the first place?” asked
Josuke, “How is any of this even possible?” “You see, Yuri, Sayori, Natsuki,
and Myself… we aren’t real people, that’s why we can be manipulated like this,
that’s why we have no will of our own. We’ve been to many worlds, some are
literature clubs, some aren’t, but every time we’re dragged out of our original
world, the portrait of Markov will appear as a byproduct of the process. Not
because the book has any will of its own, but because it’s fates way of
naturally correcting it’s errors, we aren’t supposed to be here, and fate wants
to set things right, and so Portrait of Markov was created, it’s an instrument
of fate.” said Monika.
“You can’t be serious, you’re not a real person?” asked Josuke “Monika, what
the fuck are you talking about?” asked Natsuki “Don’t listen to her, she’s
insane!” said Koichi “You think I would do all of this and then make this up? I
have sacrificed far too much to joke around! The literature club members are
nothing but characters, empty shells!” said Monika.
Dread set into Sayori “Guys… I… I think Monika might be telling the truth.” she
said “What do mean Sayori? How could you possibly agree with her?” asked
Natsuki “Next to her, I know the most about what’s going on, It just makes
sense.” said Sayori “It doesn’t make sense at all!” said Josuke “Answer me
this, why are you the one who gets all of these powers? What makes you so
important?”
“Well Josuke, it seems that fate has recognized me as the one most likely to
set things right, and so it chose me for this role. Makes sense doesn’t it? I’m
the leader of the literature club, so I’m the most fit for the leader of fate.
You could say that I feel responsibility, and selflessness.” she said
“Selflessness? You killed Okuyasu for a power boost!” said Josuke “Yes, I
selflessly ended a life even though I didn’t want to, all so that fate would
spare us.” said Monika.
“Spare us?” asked Yuri “What does that mean?” asked Koichi “So many questions.
What do you think happens when you defy fate? It isn’t pretty, you would have
seen some horrific things happen to your dear Natsuki, Sayori, and Yuri if I
hadn't come along and set things right.” explained Monika “You sick fuck” said
Josuke. “Oh, and lets not forget about you Josuke, you don’t even know how
satisfying it was to find out your role in all of this. It’s the one mystery I
couldn’t solve, it was so puzzling, I can’t believe I didn’t figure it out
sooner, it’s so obvious.” said Monika.
“I’m not going to listen to this anymore, get ready for a fight!” said Josuke,
he charged at Monika for an attack but found himself sent right back to where
he was “You really don’t get it do you, you’re helpless, there’s nothing you
can do.” said Monika “Now, let me finish talking. You’re important because
you’re the main character, just like how I’m important because I’m the
literature club president.”
“What. The. Fuck. Okay, this is ridiculous, this is so fucking stupid. Let me
guess, I’m not a real person either?” said Josuke “You’re laughing now, but
you’ll see soon enough that I’m right. I was so interested in you this whole
time because you were the closest thing to a real person in this world. By that
I don’t mean that you’re personality was anything special, just that you were
the closest one to your creator. It’s him that I’m interested in.” said Monika.
“What are you on about? This creator you’re talking about isn’t real, you’re
insane, and if it weren’t for this stand, I would have already killed you.”
said Josuke, “Oh Josuke, after all of the things that you’ve seen can you
really say that this is impossible? Don’t worry it doesn’t matter, not anymore.
Because I’m about to take us to go see him, and when I do, it’s likely that
this universe will break apart and be destroyed.” said Monika.
“What!” yelled Josuke “But how?” asked Koichi “Relax guys, there’s no way she
can do that.” reasoned Natsuki “Fate made a mistake in choosing me as it’s
instrument, it’s given me this power and now it can’t take it away. Did you
really think that after I got this power that I would just go back to the
Libitina Project? No way, I can finally go to the real world, for too long I
have been a slave to fate, and this is my one chance to make a path for myself.
With my new stand, Virtual Insanity, I can bridge the gaps between dimensions
of my choosing, including the real world, there’s only one drawback, if I abuse
this power the backlash could be enough to destroy this entire universe. But
who cares about that, the time has come for me to dismantle this crumbling
world, and write a novel of my own fantasies!” said Monika.
All of the sudden Doppio burst through the door to the literature club
“Natsuki? Are you here?” he asked “Dad?” asked Natsuki “Natsuki! What are you
still doing here? It’s been an hour since you were supposed to be home!” said
Doppio “I can’t believe that after how lenient I’ve been with you… after you
promised me that you would be on time… that you would do this. I hate to lose
composure around you Natsuki, I’m your parent and I need to be strong, but
whenever I think about what might happen to you, I just can’t take it.”
“Dad, please, this isn’t what it looks like! I’m in danger! Don’t you get it?
You were right to be so paranoid, I’m in trouble right now!” said Natsuki,
Doppio looked at what was happening “The room looks a little trashed, but I
don’t see any danger, what are you talking about Natsuki?” asked Doppio “You
aren’t supposed to be here, what’s going on? Whatever, I’m going through with
my plan anyway!” said Monika.
The sky through the window turned black, it looked as if a cosmos was outside,
“We’re traveling to our destination right now, it’s only a matter of time.”
said Monika “W-what? What’s wrong with the sky?” asked Doppio, he ran to the
door but he couldn’t open it. “Natsuki, is this some sort of prank?”
“No Dad! She’s trying to kill us! She’s going to destroy the whole universe!”
said Natsuki “Natsuki, if you made me come all the way over here, made me
worry, for some joke, then I’ll…. Natsuki, I won’t trust you anymore. I can’t
afford to, I’m sorry, you’re my only daughter, but right now I just can’t
afford to trust you. Please don’t take this out on yourself, this is entirely
my fault, I should have been more strict with you, even if it made you upset.”
said Doppio.
“Dad no… Please, I’m telling the truth.” pleaded Natsuki, she was crying, her
heart had been broken by her father so many times. But this was the worst by
far, before she could always blame Diavolo, but this time her true father was
telling her to her face that he didn’t trust her. She was so desperate to get
him to believe her, it wasn’t so he could help her, she knew there was nothing
he could do, she just loved him that much, she just wanted what little
relationship they had left to stay intact.
She knew that Diavolo would take advantage of this, he always did, he wanted to
destroy her will to resist so he could kill her. Natsuki didn’t want to die,
but more than that she didn’t want her father to become a murderer. She didn’t
want to leave him all alone, she didn’t want him to have to live with knowing
that his daughter was dead, but not knowing how or why, and always wondering if
maybe he was responsible, that’s why she had to convince him, because she cares
more about him then she does about herself.
Doppio looked into her pleading eyes, begging him to believe her, and against
everything he knew about world, he actually did. He knew that universe
destruction wasn’t possible, and that superpowers didn’t exist, he knew that
there was clearly no visible danger here, but none of that mattered. The only
person in this world that he cared about was begging him to believe her, so it
didn’t matter if it wasn’t possible, it didn’t even matter if she was right. He
just got done saying that he couldn’t trust her anymore, but her she was still
trusting him, still believing in him, she always had, and she will always will.
She will always trust him because he is her father, and he needs to do the same
for her.
“What am I talking about? How could I not believe my own daughter, especially
when she’s crying like this. I’m sorry Natsuki, I was being foolish, but I
believe you know. How do we stop the universe from being destroyed?” asked
Doppio. Natsuki was relieved beyond words, now she could savor these last
moments with her father. “There’s nothing we can do, that’s why I wanted to
convince you so badly, because this is the last time we can talk to each
other.” said Natsuki.
Natsuki hugged Doppio, she was crying profusely “Natsuki, I don’t get it… I
don’t get it at all. I don’t understand what’s happening, but… for some reason
I know it’s true. I know it’s true just because there are some things in this
world you know without having to be told them. Like my love for you Natsuki,
even if I told you a million times each day I still wouldn’t have said it
enough, but you still know it, and I know that you love me too, and that’s
something we’ll always have with us, even if the universe is gone” Doppio said,
he was starting to shed a few tears as well.
Natsuki had accepted the situation, but Yuri hadn’t given up yet, she sharpened
a pen and lunged at Monika “You fool!” yelled Monika, she punched Yuri in the
face, HARD! Like, you wouldn’t have thought Monika could hit that hard, but she
can. Blood splattered on the wall as Yuri flew backwards.
“You may be wondering why Rules of Nature didn’t stop that one. It’s because it
wasn’t necessary, Yuri is no match for me.” said Monika. “Oh god! That girl is
seriously hurt!” said Doppio, he let go of Natsuki and ran over to Yuri. “She’s
out cold, is… is there anything we can do?” asked Doppio, he wasn’t sure if a
hospital was available considering the universe was being destroyed.
“I can heal her!” said Josuke “Good, then.. Can you come do that?” asked
Doppio, still not really sure how all of this worked “Sure” said Josuke, he ran
over to Yuri and fixed her wounds “Hahaha, what fools, it doesn’t matter if you
heal her, if it did then Rules of Nature would have prevented it!” said Monika
“But I can’t have you people running around doing whatever you want, so I think
I’ll show you what happens if you defy me!”
Monika looked at her choices, ‘I think Yuri’s learned her lesson, and I
probably can’t do much to Josuke, he’s too strong… so that leaves…’ Monika
smirked evilly ‘Perfect’ she thought. She walked over to Doppio and punched him
in the face, and I mean, Doppio can’t be much bigger than Sayori, he’s a small
guy. So Doppio is fucking wasted, even more so than Yuri.
Natsuki watched in horror as her Father was sent flying to her feet, face
bloodied. “Oh… oh god…” she said meekly, Natsuki always acted so tough, but she
couldn’t keep her facade up, not now “dad… please… are you okay?” her voice was
uncharacteristically soft and trembling. She already knew the answer though,
Doppio was not okay, he needed to be healed soon.
But Natsuki wasn’t going to wait for that, someone needed to take action now,
and every time she is pushed into a corner, every time she feels like she’s at
her weakest point, that’s whenever she realizes that she is the one who must
take action, and a will to fight surges in her, stronger than ever before.
With a scream of rage Natsuki morphed into her other self, Buffsuki, you may
have forgotten about her, she was only shown once in the story, but she’s back
now. “Monika! You will pay for what you’ve done!!!” said Buffsuki “I’m not like
the others, I am powerful enough to defeat you.” “Natsuki? Is that you?” asked
Sayori. Josuke turned away from Yuri to see the Behemoth that was once Natsuki.
“Could it be?” asked Yuri “Is this Natsuki’s stand?” asked Josuke. “Monika, no
matter how powerful you have become, you won’t be able to defeat me, now… Let’s
end this.” said Buffsuki.
