15] Some are more vigilant than others

(Shin POV, Shin's house)

Hikari- "Welcome home!" She says this with a smile on her face, and I smile in kind.

Shin- "Yeah, I'm back." I give her a head pat, and she leans into it like a cat. Oh, I didn't know she liked head pats this much. I'll have to do it more often.

"How long was I gone anyway?" Being in another dimension throws off any sense of time, especially since I think his world's flow of time is faster than mine.

Hikari looks at me weirdly.

Hikari- "Only about 2 days, if you count today as well." Huh... Maybe it didn't distort the time while the portal was open.

"So how did it go with your brother?" I shiver slightly remembering what he did to me while he was training me.

Shin- "It... Was very beneficial to me, and probably him." I close and open my fist, feeling the stinging sensation on my palms. She connects both of her hands, fiddling with them.

Hikari- "So... About that thing in your letter..." I had totally forgotten about this, dealing with Blaze exhausted me.

Shin- "Right! Uh... Can we go inside first? I don't think we should be talking about this on the porch." She quickly runs inside, and I gently shut the door.

"So... What should we talk about first?" I am feeling excruciatingly nervous, being a violent and brutal murderer doesn't kill off my emotions. I wish I could have gotten more advice from Zero...

Hikari shifts, opening her mouth to speak.

Hikari- "Let's just rip the Band-Aid off, what do you say to dating your sister?" Her bright red face is more than enough to tell me that she's embarrassed.

Shin- "Going right for it huh? I was told that if I liked someone, I should just go for it while I have the chance." I sit in silence for a moment.

Hikari- "So... does that mean that you will?" Her face, while still being red, has a huge smile on it now.

Shin- "It... depends on how you view my 'other' side. Do you remember when I was telling you about my violent urges?" She freezes for a moment.

Hikari- "Wait, violent urges? Is that what you were talking about when I accidentally confessed to you?" I nod my head.

Shin- "I don't have any towards you, and that's weird in my opinion. A good thing, but it's weird." She smiles again.

Hikari- "That's flattering, and a good sign! I would have been with you anyway, even if you did feel violent urges toward me... I would probably turn into a masochist to fit your needs." I flinch.

Shin- "Wait... Really? Please don't turn into a masochist, I don't want another Darkness." I sigh, thinking about her reactions to pain.

"Please don't... You already know I'm a villain, but you haven't seen what I do to others. I'll let you be my girlfriend if you can still love me after witnessing me at my most insane." She nods, seemingly resolute.

Oh crap, I just remembered that I need to send coordinates to my slaves... Time to look up some gun shops.

***

A few days later, I'm able to go out and villain. I give Hikari a few guns to protect herself, but only in case I somehow can't.

It's not too exciting, and I make sure to not lose control. I just shoot some unimportant characters, subjecting Hikari to the sight of blood... Well, the blood of others.

(At home)

Hikari- "You didn't kill anyone today, why?" I scratch my head.

Shin- "Well, I wanted you to get used to the sight of blood. Also, seeing people with injuries. How do you feel?" She audibly sighs.

Hikari- "Fine. I told you, I don't really care for anybody but you." I cough, choking on air.

"Are you okay?" Nodding weakly, I dismiss her worry.

Shin- "I'm just not used to people saying that about me, not even my actual brother has said that." She pauses, seemingly thinking about something.

Hikari- "Really? Am I your first?" She says this with a hint of mischievousness.

Shin- "Yeah, actually... Well, First that I can believe that is 100% sincere."

***

The next day, the news describes rogue heroes. They're a group of extremists, who have had something done wrong to them. They only have lower than C-ranks for the most part, but there is an occasional B and even a single A-Rank.

Shin- "Looks like the Vigilants are awake huh?" (Not vigilante)

Hikari- "Vigilants? What is that?"

Shin- "A group of stupids who gain way too much power later down the line." She seems confused, but doesn't bother me with any more questions.

"I'm planning on ending a couple of high ranking people in their group... Want to come with? Oh! I also have to deal with Cass... It's about time she hits her lowest..."

We head to city D3, the Vigilants' headquarters. I also make sure to bring a mid-potion just in case it's necessary.

We seem to arrive just in time, as a group of ex-heroes are blowing crap up. They seem to be instilling fear in others, that way they can take over without issue.

Vigilant 1- "HAHA! Being a hero took way too much effort! I would have drifted years ago if I knew it felt like this!" He lights dynamite, and throws it.

The dynamite lands right next to me, causing me to sigh.

Shin- "Really? Dynamite? Is your Flair so crap that you resort to external stuff?" This seems to draw his attention, as he looks to the two figures shrouded in shadows.

V 1- "And who th-" I silence him by shoving the dynamite down his throat.

Shin- "Time for some bloody fireworks." My huge smile is represented by a glowing white crescent moon where my mouth should be.

The Vigilant starts choking and coughing, trying to get the stick out. Meanwhile I turned around and did a Zamasu pose. 

I use my Telekinesis to lift him up into the air, where he explodes in a bloody and beautiful fashion.

Shin- "I now see why he was using dynamite, that was more enhanced than normal. There's barely any full organs, and the blood splattered so far!" I open my eyes and immediately lock onto Hikari.

"Oh! I forgot! Sorry!" I immediately hid my smile, and ran up to her.

Hikari- "You're fine, it mainly looked like a balloon of red paint exploded."

Shin- "Yeah, I bet you would have been traumatized if it were normal dynamite. Especially if a pancreas hit you in the face."

Hikari- "Why a pancreas?"

Shin- "I dunno, would you have rather I said large intestine?" She shakes her head.

Hikari- "I just meant you could have said organ or something."

Shin- "I have a bit of a... history with getting hit in the face with a pancreas..." I then shudder, recalling a small amount of how I died.

"Moving on before I remember something even more unpleasant."

Hikari- "Why are we dealing with this terrorist group? Aren't you a villain?" I sigh and shake my head.

Shin- "I don't really enjoy hurting civilians, so I just kill any and everything that crosses that line." Hikari just continues walking with me, not bothering to answer.

"That means heroes, villains, vigilantes, anti-heroes, monsters, criminals and the like." I pause.

"I don't kill allies, those who interest me, those who benefit me, and those that are important for the future that I have set out." I close my eyes, thinking about all the people I've killed and those I'll kill later.

Nothing. I feel absolutely about it. The deeper I search, the bigger I realize the abyss is. I'm surrounded by utter void, the only thing I can make sense of... The face made of nothing but despair, and it smiles at me.

Hikari- "Shin... Are you alright?" She's standing in front of me, looking concerned.

Shin- "I'm fine. Just... I feel a bit bad that I lost myself that quickly, forgetting that you even existed." She smiles slightly.

Hikari- "It's fine. I'll just have to root myself into your head so much that I always take priority, no matter what." I look at her, a little worry manifesting in my mind.

Shin- "What?" She giggles and skips off.

"No, no no. W-what was that? Yandere development? No... I must be imagining it." I shake my head, and jog to catch up with her. At least she's determined...

We spend the next thirty minutes just dealing with Vigilants. I get more and more brutal as time goes on, and eventually Hikari wants to join as well.

Hikari- "I just want to try it once! Come on! Let me!" I close my fist in front of me, crushing a Vigilant's heart.

Shin- "After you have training, I don't want you getting hurt." She hangs her head down.

Hikari- "And what training did you do?" I can almost see her smirk, thinking that she got me.

Shin- "It was torture... Hours on end, no breaks taken... Ugh." I shiver slightly just thinking about it.

Hikari- "Wait, you actually received training?" I'm not going to tell her that it was only for a day, and it was only a few days ago.

Shin- "Yeah? Swords, Guns, and hand to hand combat. I also got beat quite a bit, and I can only beat him because of my absurd Flair."

Hikari- "So, are you going to train me?" I bring my hand to my lips.

Shin- "I guess so, it is the best way to monitor your ability." A smirk arises on Hikari's face.

Hikari- "So we'll be getting pretty physically intimate with one another?" I see my chance to fluster her, and definitely get her back.

Shin- "We'll be getting physical in more ways than one now that we're in a relationship." I say this with a smug look, which disappears once I notice her face filled with excitement.

Hikari- "Really!? You mean it!?" That... Didn't go how I expected...
