It was the usual silent night in a peaceful neighbourhood in Tokyo, the bats were flying and looking for prey, the stray cat was searching for food in the garbage bins, and the occasional drunk couple stumbling and laughing.

Through the darkness, a man was running home. Kataoka Eiichiro, a police officer with a very useful lie detector quirk. An honest and hard working man. He was rushing home in a happy mood after he got a day off on occasion of his daughter's sixth birthday. He had missed 3 birthdays already and so couldn't wait to tell his wife and daughter that he would spend the entirety of tomorrow with them.

'Koizumi must be asleep by now... Well I guess I'll have to surprise her tomorrow morning. I wonder if Asano is still awake' He thought.

After a few minutes of running under the moonlight, he finally reached his home. His home was not a very big one. Just a medium sized home built by a policeman and his salary. Enough to house a family of four and the occasional guest. As he was walking towards the door, he got this uncanny feeling; as if he was being watched. He turned to look behind... but saw nothing but a stray cat... staring into his soul. His uneasyness only increased when he heard a very faint scream in the distance. He quickly rushed to his door, he put the key in but was surprised to see that the door was open.

"Honey, I'm home..." He said as he entered. But he got no response, he slowly walked to the living room and saw that his wife was sitting on a couch, watching the TV.

"Asano... I thought you were asleep. By the way, why did you leave the front door open" He asked, but his wife did not answer.

"Asano?" He went in front of his wife to check if she was asleep. He saw that her face was expressionless... there was no light in her eyes. He acted quickly and checked her for any sort of pulse, but there was none.

Kataoka didn't know what to do. He began to sob and cry in grief and anger as he held his dead wife. He was angry as he wasn't there when she needed him. After a few moments, a new fear formed in his mind. He was about to rush upstairs to check on his daughter when he saw something or someone out of the corner of his eye. He realised that he was not alone in the living room. He turned to see who the figure was and the first things he saw was that the figure had green hair and green eyes.

"W-WHO ARE YOU?!" He asked, filled with grief and rage.

"I'm the person who sent you a Very generous gift of 1000000 Yen to stop investigating the Tech City Mall Massacre" The figure answered calmly.

"W-WHY DID YOU KILL MY WIFE?!"

"I distinctly remember writing in the letter which was with your gift that 'If you don't drop the investigation, you will regret it in the worst way possible'. It was you who didn't listen to me..." The figure answered.

"I'LL - I'LL KILL YOU"

"I wouldn't try that if I were you" The figure pulled out a silenced handgun and aimed it somewhere. Kataoka turned to see where the gun was aimed and the moment he saw the target his blood froze. It was his 5 year old daughter, tied up and gagged. The policeman stopped dead in his tracks. He was feeling numerous emotions.

"N-No please don't do anything to her, I'll do anything..." He said as he knelt in to the ground.

"Will you drop your investigation?"

"I will. Please just let her go" The policeman said in a very defeated tone.

"Ok, I believe you... Go free your daughter"

Kataoka was going to his daughter to free her when he heard the sound of a silenced pistol. At first he thought that the person shot him... but saw that there was blood coming out of his daughters forehead. And that was it... he couldn't speak or scream. The only thing he could do was rush to his daughters side and hug and hold her still warm dead body as tears began to uncontrollably pour out of his eyes. The officer couldn't think properly anymore, his mind and vision was clouded. He heard footsteps walking towards him and looked back to see the muzzle of a gun.

"Why?" Kataoka asked, his voice devoid of emotions.

"Because your investigation led to the capture of many of my men. And nearly all of them opened their mouths..." The person said as he pulled the trigger.

He then walked out of house and saw that there was a car with escorts waiting for him. A man with grey hair, wearing a tux, stepped out of one of the cars and walked towards the greenette

"Is it done?" The man asked.

"Yes, both him and his family are dead"

"So, do you want to lay low and leave the country for a few days? Now that the police know who was behind the Massacre"

"No... I don't plan on leaving... The police and heroes already know, don't they? Good, now that they know my name, I want it to be feared... I want my name to bring nothing but dread and despair... Leave the bodies somewhere the world can see. And carve my name on them" The person said as he entered his car.

Next morning, the whole world was shocked and traumatised. Every single news channel was showing only one thing. That 'thing' being the dead bodies of two adults and a child hanging by the neck from the Tokyo tower, with the name DARKLIGHT carved on their backs.

(A/n Was that too dark? please let me know if you want me to tone the darkness down a little. btw, new chapters will come after a month because of my exams)
