Unfortunate events take place in Nisshoku

When Class 2B left the school, it was sunny and warm outside. Before they left, they'd brought the boy who fought Sota that morning to the school ambulance, because he wouldn't wake up.

„Thank you for joining our mission! We are happy to have you with us!"

„Dude, You're saying that for the fifth time! They've got it now!"

Before they took different ways, they went through all important things again.

„So: We don't talk about Stands, except for when the other person is a Stand-User too. If we locate an enemy, we call the others. No solos! And our main target is one question: WHY is THIS happening to US."

„Got it!"

Yuma nodded and said goodbye to the other Stand-Users, before taking the bus bringing him home.

„Ok guys, Aimi and I have to go this direction. Bye!"

The two of them walked away, but Yusei turned around one more time.

„Oh, and Sota?"

He smiled.

„You did good today!"

With these words, both of them left.

„Seems like he can be nice sometimes too."

„He can."

The two boys went home. The streets and houses of Nisshoku seemed different that day. After what they experienced on that Monday, everything seemed unspectacular compared to the mission and abilities they received.

„You know I wanted to quit school today?"

„Seriously? Lucky you! If you had...."

„I know, right?"

Both of them bursted out laughing.

Suddenly, a few police cars drove by.

„That are many police cars. Did something happen?"

„Haven't heard of any crime committed near here."

Shouta however was still worried when he said goodbye to his best friend and got home that day. He found the house empty, his mother was working full time and it wasn't rare for her to be home late. The police operation won't go out of his head, so he did something he hadn't done for a long time. He turned on the tv.

„And now the local news. A neighbor found the dead body of a very old and unidentifiable woman in the house of Hina Katana. She and her 16 year old daughter are still missing. The police has started their investigations today. And now to the sport...."

Shouta turned off the tv. He was trembling all over his body.

„Getting cold in here."

That's what Shouta said, though he knew that it had over reasons. He didn't know why, but somehow he thought his bad feeling was right.

„Hello Shouta."

He turned around and instantly activated his stand, just to see his mother standing in the door.

„What's up? You look so terrified."

„I-it's nothing. Just didn't expect you to come this early."

„I know, but I thought we could spend some time together today."

„Got nothing against that. Have you heard the news?"

„I have! I'm still worried about the missing family! What if the old woman and the disappearance of them are connected?"

„We shouldn't worry about stuff like that. Let's go walking a bit."

„Okay!"

The two of them walked into town while talking about this and that. They came into a small street where there were not many people walking by. Shoutas mother had just bought something to eat and wanted to put the money back into her pocket, when a 5 Dollar bill slipped out of her hand an fell onto the ground.

„Oh, could you please pick that up for me?"

He bended down to pitch the bill up, when he noticed another hand catching it. He looked up to see an about 10 year old girl holding up the 5 Dollar bill.

„Thank you!"

He grabbed the bill, but the girl didn't let it go. Shouta looked at her eyes to see pure fear. Her hands where trembling heavily.

„What's the matter, Shouta?"

„This Girl...."

The little girl was muttering something Shouta couldn't understand.

„What happened? Where is your mother?"

The girl moved her arm. With a completely disturbed facial expression, she pointed at the sky. Shouta got goosebumps.

...

At the Nisshoku police station:

It was one of these days for Commissioner Rampo Kawasaki. In fact, he knew that at the moment he dropped his coffee that morning. He was sitting in his old chair in his way too small office and waited for his partner to bring him the laboratory report. He was good with his situation. He just wanted to have a slightly bigger office, so he could work properly.

„Here's the laboratory report!"

He looked at his door to see Makoto Kanabe, the best assistant anyone could have.

„Thank you. You look stressed!"

„I know, but the colleges said that this couldn't wait."

Rampo took the laboratory report and opened it. After reading a few minutes, he stopped all of sudden.

„What's the matter boss?"

Makoto looked at his partner to see him threatened. He had never seen him like that before.

„How old was Hina Katana again?"

„43, w-why?"

Rampo turned at his partner with a facial expression filled with confusion and fear.

„Cause the old lady we found in her house is identified now. Her name is..."

He made a pause to collect himself.

„Her name is Hina Katana and she owns this house. No confusion possible."
