This fanfic is an origin story focusing on Soichiro Yagami in his early days as a police officer. This fanfic is darker in terms on content compared to my previous fanfics and has a dark original villain.
Monday
It was early in the morning, the sun was getting ready to rise and during that time there stood a man and a woman in an abandoned house. The man was about 24 years old and wore a handsome business suit. He had long white hair and was very feminine. The woman was a mother of two and had been kidnapped by this man earlier. She was a young woman in her mid thirties, her name was Mika. She was tied up against her will by a man named Satoru Kurosawa.
Kurosawa looked at her with a sadistic smile as she was waking up.
"Well, Well" Satoru said to Mika, "You are awake. You were a hard one to catch but now that I have you, I can end your suffering."
Mika woke up.
"Where am I?" Mika said.
"An old abandoned house" said Satoru "Nobody can see us here. Mika, mother of two, had an abusive husband. You have been suffering and now it is time to set you free."
"What did you do to my children?" Mika said angrily.
"Your children were suffering" Satoru responded to Mika. "They couldn't live on in a household like that. So I had to put them down. They have been set free by me and your husband is dead as well. There is no point living an imperfect life."
"Imperfect life" Mika cried "Is that what you think suffering is? Because my children could move on and so could I."
"Oh lady" Satoru said in a delightful tone. "Death is the end of all suffering. I am going to set you free very soon and you will be thanking me in the afterlife."
"You don't have to do this" Mika argued. "What kind of twisted morality is it to think me and my family were suffering, because we had an imperfect life."
"We must live in happiness" Satoru answered back. "Or else there is no point in living."
"You know what" Mika responded. "You are a monster."
"No" Satoru said. "I am a savior."
Satoru then flicked off the lights and put on a gas mask. He then threw a grenade of poison gas on the floor near Mika. "The world will thank me in the end." Satoru said triumphantly. "They just need to know why they should thank me." It was at that moment that Satoru left, leaving Mika to die by the poison gas.
"No" Mika yelled "Don't leave me here. I don't want to die."
For the remaining time until she died, Mika kept yelling the words "I don't want to die" over and over again, each time with more tears in her eyes. Another victim of Satoru Kurosawa and it wasn't even wake up time.
At about 6:30 AM, an alarm clock sounded and there was a young Soichiro sleeping in his bed. He was a young feminine man like his son would be several years later. He had short black hair, a youthful face and was one of the most popular students in college. His hairstyle was similar to what his son would have in the future. He also lacked the mustache he would later grow. He had some of the highest grades in Japan and he hoped he could be the chief of police when he grew up.
The 22 year old Soichiro Yamomoto was ready for his first day on the job and to finally leave his household after 22 years of living with his mother and father. He got out of bed and got out his police uniform that he needed for his first day. He passed the written exams and everything about law. It was now that he had to prove himself in the fields. He didn't wear any glasses either. That would be something he would pick up later.
He went down stairs and had breakfast. There his mother Mako was making Miso Soup for the both of them. "So are you ready for training in the field?" Mako asked her son.
"Yes I am" Soichiro said in a happy tone. "I have been ready for this since I was a kid. I know the job is dangerous but there is something about upholding the law that makes you feel great. It is because you are a hero to so many people."
"Are you afraid of disappointment?" Mako proclaimed.
"No" Soichiro answered. "Even if I fail, I will not stop until I become the person I want to be."
"That is great" Mako said. "Your friend Akagi is also proud to be your partner. You guys have been living the same dream for a longtime."
"We have" Soichiro agreed. "And I would like to show my children how great Akagi is after they are born."
Soichiro finished his breakfast. "Have a good first day" Mako said as he walked out the door.
"I will" Soichiro said back.
On his way to the police station Soichiro met up with his friend Akagi Matsumoto. Akagi was one year younger than him but had the same dream and passion. Unlike his friend Soichiro, Akagi wore glasses and had a little bit bigger set of hair than Soichiro did. Both Soichiro and Akagi lived in the Kanto region of Japan. Akagi was young and energetic and always had a passion for follow his dream with Soichiro. He was there when Soichiro needed him the most and Soichiro was there for him when he always needed it. Today was the big day and he was just as excited as Soichiro.
"Hi Akagi" Soichiro said smiling to Akagi. "It is great to have you as my partner."
"I was born to be your partner" Akagi said back. "You are my friend and I would never abandon you." Akagi smiled back.
"What are you most interested in doing?" Soichiro asked.
"I hope to try out the firing range for the first day" Akagi said. "I need to get the feel of using a gun against criminals."
"I hope I never have to use one" Soichiro said. "I guess it is for emergencies only."
"Today" Akagi responded back "It doesn't really matter. All that matters is getting our badges at the end of the week."
"Yeah" Soichiro said.
"Hey" Akagi said "Have you heard of this mysterious killer? He hasn't been identified yet but I heard that he went missing for 14 years before he returned recently."
"You really think he was a killer since birth" Soichiro questioned.
"Well that is what I heard" Akagi said.
"Akagi you idiot" Soichiro said. "They said he has been missing for 14 years. There is no report that he murdered anyone beforehand. How about we talk about this when we are at the frontlines, not before we take on the case."
"Okay" Akagi said.
On there way there Soichiro and Akagi visited a graveyard honoring the victims of the Japanese soldiers who fought for Japan during World War II.
"The Nanking Massacre" Soichiro said darkly. "Pearl Harbor... I can't believe our country is responsible for such atrocities."
"Hey", Akagi said in an optimistic tone, "I don't think Japan or anybody in Japan will cause any atrocities worse than what we did during World War II."
"You think" Soichiro said in disbelief.
"I hope" Akagi said.
After visiting the graveyard both Soichiro and Akagi finally made it to the police station. Both felt nothing but confidence. They were going to prove themselves as great police officers within a week.
"Soichiro, Akagi" said a policeman, "it is great to meet you. I hear this is your first day on the job."
"It is" Akagi answered. "Are we going to go into the fields today?"
"I don't know just yet" the policeman said. "You will have to wait on that."
"Akagi really wants to try the firing range" Soichiro said to the policeman. "He has been obsessing about it"
"You want to try it as well?" the policeman responded to Soichiro.
"I don't know" Soichiro proclaimed.
"Well, before you can try it you must meet with the police chief about the positions you are going to get" the policeman said. "You guys are just rookies you know."
"We know" both Soichiro and Akagi said.
"Good" the policeman said. "The chief will be waiting for you in his office."
A few minutes later, Soichiro and Akagi met the police chief in the office. They knew they had to act polite and prove to the chief why they really wanted this job.
"So this is your first day" the police chief said. "You know that there is more to being a cop that just shooting criminals right."
"We know" both Soichiro and Akagi answered in a triumphant tone.
"We have to investigate a crime thoroughly" the chief said. "We have to make sure the person accused of the crime is truly guilty, if we mess up even once, our ass will be on the line."
"The guilty are those who will be punished" Soichiro said emotionally. "They will be punished to the full extent of the law. Finding fitting punishments is the problem. Is one life really worth one life because if he killed more than one doesn't he deserve something worse than death because you can't measure killing one person against killing many"
"Are we going to discuss the Death Penalty here?" the chief asked "It isn't my decision, it is the courts decision."
"I am not" Soichiro said hesitantly. "But criminals deserve to be punished and death is not a punishment. It is just sickening when criminals kill people because of some twisted belief or something. Then who is right, us or the criminal?" Soichiro looked a bit puzzled after he said those words
"I have no control over the law" the chief said. "But we can all fight for the right of what we feel is just."
"I know sir" Soichiro said to the chief in a more confident tone.
After the long conversation, Soichiro and Akagi went to the firing range. They were there for a few hours because they really needed basic training on aiming but after a few hours they got the hang of it. But Soichiro's aiming style was a bit different. The people in the firing range took quick notice of this to see that while Soichiro was hitting the target, it was always in non lethal areas. Soichiro's cherishment for human life became apparent that day as the people in the police station became more and more impressed with him. Soichiro's cherishment for human life was pure unlike Satoru's twisted cherishment of human life. It was then that the sirens range and Soichiro and Akagi were going to get their first experience in the field.
"What is it?" Soichiro asked.
"A report that they found a house with a dead body" a policewoman said to both Soichiro and Akagi. "It may lead to more information on this mysterious killer."
The task force went to the house to investigate what was going on. The house was burned to the ground which was ironic considering it was standing the day before. Akagi and Soichiro were both shocked at the site. They knew a mass murderer was around but they weren't expecting an event like this.
"Have you identified the woman?" Akagi said puzzling to a policeman.
"We are sure it is Mika Honda" the policeman said. "She was a mother of two. We got reports that her husband and children were killed by being slashed in the neck the day before."
"Who do you think killed her husband and children?" Soichiro asked in a concerned tone.
"Probably the same guy" Akagi said in a dark tone. "I have heard I the rumors that he kills people who have imperfect lives. People he thinks are suffering."
"But what caused the suffering?" Soichiro asked "Him or his victims. Were his victims truly suffering or did he just get information on them that he thought they were living imperfect lives and mistook it for bad lives."
"I don't know" Akagi said to Soichiro. "But he seems to be missing the point if he truly believes that death is always the best solution to suffering."
"I hope he isn't missing the point" Soichiro said. "He can't be that bad."
"Here are autopsy photos of her husband and children which we got last night" a policewoman told Soichiro and Akagi. "They are very bloody."
Soichiro saw those photos and dropped to the ground to throw up. The victims were maimed and dismembered. If this guy saw death as the end of all suffering, he didn't give them a very peaceful death. He got back on his feet a moment later and got his confidence back up.
Mika's body was identified on the spot but not before Akagi found a note. "Hey I think he left a note for us."
親愛なる：タスクフォース
誰が正義であり、だれがないのですか？私はすべての苦しみの終わりとして死を見て、人間は完璧な人生を生きてまで、私は停止しません。私に必要なのはあなたたちです。私は救世主として自分自身を証明したいので、国民は私やあなたを信頼します。私は長い時間のためにここになりますように、あなたが間違っている私からあなたの欠陥を隠すことができると思います。あなたが考える場合、私はちょうど私があなたが最後に失敗する知っているので、それを証明しようとするよりも、間違っています。あなたは私を見たい場合、私はその正確な時間で10:00明日でモールになります。私は自由のそこの人々を設定します。
Dear: Task Force
Who is justice and who is not? I see Death as the end of all suffering and I will not stop until humans live perfect lives. All I need is you guys. Will the public trust me or you because I want to prove myself as a savior. If you think you can hide your flaws from me you are wrong as I will be here for a long time. If you think I am wrong than just try to prove it because I know you will fail in the end. If you want to see me I will be at the mall at 10:00 AM tomorrow at that exact time. I will set people free there.
"What type of criminal tries to lead the police to him?" Soichiro said confused.
"An insane one I'm sure" Akagi answered. "Can anyone identify the handwriting?"
"We will be scanning it and showing it to people all over Japan tomorrow" the chief said "We'll try to have him captured by the end of the week."
"He has to be captured" Soichiro said. "Because these murders keep getting crazier and crazier."
The case seemed like a difficult one but what shocked Soichiro and Akagi was the murderers beliefs. He was different from the usually murderers. Surprisingly this made Soichiro and Akagi even more interested in this case.
That night Satoru went into his house. He brought his followers with him to protect him just in case anything went wrong tonight. He also needed them for his mall massacre the following day to set more people free from the suffering of what he thought was their lives. It was here that he had a woman chained up to a bed.
"You haven't accepted my plans to be given a perfect life", Satoru said, "so now you must die."
"I was living a fine life before you found me" the woman cried "If death is the end of all suffering than you are inflicting it wrong. I am suffering because of you."
"But your life was imperfect when I found you" Satoru said. "I can cure you."
"Then you failed in every conceivable way" the woman yelled "You think your methods of doing thinking you think will help me feel better, will make me recover. You are a madman. You think your way is the only way. You are a lunatic. I will not do what you tell me and I will only live a better life if you let me go."
"Oh" Satoru said. "But if I let you go than you will report on me and I will not cleanse this world of suffering."
"You truly are missing the point aren't you" the woman said darkly.
"Oh you think I am", Satoru said, "but I am not. A year of ending people's suffering is not enough. I must do it for as long as possible."
"And then what?" the woman yelled. "What will you do after you have cleansed the world?"
"Until I cleanse it" Satoru said. "Then that question should not be asked. Time is up, you have failed me and I don't like failure so your punishment is coming is 3...2..."
"No don't" the woman said and then she got barraged with bullets from the henchmen standing in the room. She was dead instantly.
"1..." Satoru said. "Another failure."
"You want us to find another one?" a henchman said.
"Yes of course" Satoru said "We must get better subjects, there is no other way. The next one will have the same seven day time limit as the previous one. If their suffering is not purified then they will be destroyed. You hear me?"
"Loud and clear" another henchman said.
"Good, because tomorrow will be a very interesting day" said Soichiro.
The mayhem and chaos caused by Satoru today would only speed up tomorrow and he had the perfect witnesses for his next crime. He would show why the police should not be trusted.
Soichiro and Akagi had an exciting first day on the job but little did they know that the true horror was yet to come. They already saw some horror but Satoru wasn't an average everyday criminal. He was more than just a criminal. To many people, he wouldn't even qualify as human even though he was a member of this species.
