Chapter 1: The Night He Drove Young Okuyasu Down
"Bro... Please stop this!" Okuyasu approached his brother whom still held the Bow and Arrow in his hands , "Keicho! You don't need to do things like this anymore..." He begged his brother as he walked closer to him to try to grab the bow and arrow away" His feelings and memories are still there! He might be able to get better!"
Their father continued to sob loudly as he looked at the only picture of his family on his green hands.
"Okuyasu..." Keicho growled, "What hell are you doing?" He took a step back as he held the Bow and Arrow closer to him. "Get out of the way!" He continued to yell at him, "No matter what happens, I can't turn back now! I've used this Bow and Arrow on many to find that Stand User! Most of them have died! I have too much blood on my hands! I have to finish this no matter what!"
Keicho couldn't believe his own ears that he said this, he had felt the need to protect his own methodical pride. He then thought of the people who he had killed because of his search. But then to only hear that there was an answer right in front of them. Living near them… He… he felt insulted for some reason. So still he continued "You can't be my brother, you bastard!" He yelled, "From now on, I won't hesitate to kill you too!" He silently prays that he doesn't have to. But at the same time hoped that Josuke and Koichi didn't hear the tremble in his words.
Okuyasu stopped walking. He clenched in fists in frustration. He doesn't want to hurt nor defy his brother. 'But... This... Josuke he actually wanted to help us. Even when we tried to... I tried to kill him. He saved me too...' He thought to himself. 'Maybe... Maybe there's another way out of this... This mess he and I made...'
He then looked at his brother obviously shaking but still tried to look menacing and angry at him. 'Bro….' He looked down, unclenched his right fist. 'Bro was always doing the thinking. Me thinking of this… I guess this will change things…' "Brother..." Then with having no choice, Okuyasu began to raise his right hand.
"Huh?" Keicho was confused (a moment which that alone surprised him) took another step back, "What are you doing now, you... you idiot?"
"Yeah..." Okuyasu agreed looking down again, unable to look at his older brother's face, "I am an idiot... I really am. You say so, so many times a day. That's why... I… I…." Just by side of his raised arm his Stand's right arm had materialised, "I... must be an idiot.. for doing this!"
And with a quick swiping motion by his Stand, The Hand. He scraped the space between him and his brother, instantly teleporting Keicho in front of him. And before the older brother could even react, Okuyasu had grabbed the Bow and Arrow and snatched it away from his hands. "Bro..." Okuyasu began as he started to tear up, "We... we don't… we don't need this stupid thing anymore... we... could-"
"Give that back Okuyasu!" Keicho shouted at him, as Okuyasu stepped back, with his back almost against the wall. "How... how dare..." Keicho was shaking, "HOW DARE YOU DEFY YOUR OLDER BROTHER!"
"I... I'M NOT!... maybe... " Okuyasu tried to think hard about it, but he shook his head as he defended his actions with strong determination. He brought the Bow and Arrow closer to his body, hugging it. "I... I'm doing this to help you Bro!"
Keicho was taken aback by this. He wanted to step forward and tackle his idiotic brother to snatch the Bow and Arrow. But... but for once... he didn't know how to react... Or rather what to react. Was he Furious? Disappointed? ... Maybe even... Happy? "O-Okuyasu..."
"Ke-Keicho..." Okuyasu began to tear up, "Bro... You... You always wanted both of us to live a normal life... You may have killed a lot of people... But..."
A brief lack of sunlight prompted Josuke to look upwards at the room's sun roof. He saw someone pressed against the glass. But the sunlight, he couldn't see nor decipher whom the man looked like. He became very suspicious and very cautious, "Hey... Just how many people are there in your family?" He asked the two.
"Ours?" Okuyasu cocked his head and wondered, "There's only three of us?"
From the corner of Josuke's eye, he saw a spark. He looked towards it to see that the electrical outlet from behind Okuyasu started sparking. The sparks became bigger and bigger forming into a shape. Keicho saw it formed into the shape of what it would look like a humanoid bird like creature with red eyes.
Realizing who and what it was, he cried out, "Okuyasu! What are you? Stupid! Get out of there!" He rushed to punch Okuyasu out of the way.
But it was too late.
The being, seemingly formed from electricity, jumped out of the socket and immediately punched through the younger brother's body.
"Argh!" Okuyasu could only cough blood as he felt the electrical currents flow through his chest and eventually with his body and to the Bow and Arrow.
"Okuyasu!" Keicho screamed as he reached out in an attempt to save his brother. But the light surrounding the thing became brighter and it nearly blinded him.
"B-Bro..." Okuyasu gurgled out.
"Hehehehe" the being then finally spoke. "I'll be taking this Bow and Arrow now! I'll be sure to use them well!" It began pointing at the older brother, thanking but at the same time seemingly mocking him, "Nijimura Keicho! You were the one responsible for giving me this Stand Power! But you had no idea how great potential it had!"
"Stands are the strength of the mind!" The being cackled, "I've grown so much! You must have not realized 'Red Hot Chili Pepper' held this potential! Now look at the price you have to pay!"
"Gah!" Okuyasu screamed as he summoned his stand. "T-th-The... Hand..."
"Save it!" The electric current then flowed more throughout Okuyasu's body and transferred to the bow arrow, covering everything with electricity. Red Hot Chili Pepper then spoke of disappointment at himself, "Too bad I ended up getting you, instead of your brother." It then held the bow and arrow, happy to have it in its hands, "But no matter, I still got what I came for!"
"O-O... OKUYASU!" Keicho cried out as he tried to reach to his younger brother again, extending his hand to grab his brother's "C'mon hold on to me!"
To everyone's surprise, Okuyasu managed to shake his head, declining the saving grace, "N-No... Bro!" He managed to let out, "I- if you t-touch me..." His body was starting to be pulled into the socket, "Y-You'll get pu-pulled in too..."
Hearing this, Keicho stood still. He didn't expect any of this at all. He didn't expect that man to attack him, let alone to kill... to kill... Okuyasu... And with that, something had clicked... Inside him... He continued stepped forward despite Okuyasu's protests.
That's when his army came out, "BAD COMPANY! EATH...!"
Josuke quickly jumped in to snap Keicho out of it, "Are you crazy! If you do that, then you'll kill Okuyasu!"
Hearing that he nearly attempted to kill his younger brother, Keicho became frightened, he froze again. For once... for once in his life.
He didn't know what to do.
Just then RHCP howled with laughter through the current, "Hehehe... Look at you Nijimura! Helpless to even save your own family!" Okuyasu's body was already half way into the socket! "I'll be the one taking him and the bow and arrow from you now!
"B-bro..." Okuyasu started to sob, knowing that this was it for him. He then looked at his father, still sobbing from the photograph. Koichi, the kid he managed to save. Josuke, the one who offered a helping hand to them... Then finally his brother, Keicho. Most that he could remember was his brother abusing him physically and verbally. But that was eventually set aside. Remembering how they used to have so much fun together. As normal brothers should be... Tears welled up in his eyes as he spoke his last words.
"I... Even what you did to me... I still love you and dad... Keicho..."
And with a flash, Okuyasu, the bow and arrow had disappeared.
"Oku...Oku... OOKKUUUYAAAASSSSUUUU!"
Immediately Josuke let go of Keicho, pushing him out of the way, hopped on top of the drawer, jumping towards the sun roof, and smashing the glass to pieces as he scrambled to get to the top still hoping to save Okuyasu from that Stand. Keicho followed suit as he came out of the broken window to look for his brother.
He then turned around towards the electrical poles and saw... "Jo... Josuke..." muttered just loud enough for him to hear.
They were too late.
The charred lifeless body of Nijimura Okuyasu hanged in the wires. Smoke was still coming out of his body, indicating that the Stand had just left him there, and already made its escape. Along with the bow and arrow. Josuke pulled himself out and looked at the gruesome scene. "Okuyasu..."
Keicho didn't speak a word. He remained silent for a good few minutes even when Koichi followed them.
"Oh no..." Koichi uttered as he saw Okuyasu's body. He didn't even have a chance to thank him.
Keicho couldn't look at the body anymore. Seeing the haunting lifeless face of his younger brother, he turned away. He walked past Josuke and Koichi.
Needless to say, Nijimura Keicho was feeling too many emotions at once.
He was furious. He felt so much anger boiling within him. He wanted-no.. needed to find that Stand and kill it and the user. He was frustrated. He knew that he was the older brother. He knew that he was supposed to be protecting his... his brother. He was scared. He wondered what to do now. Not only the Bow and Arrow was gone. But... he lost his only other family he had. He tried to look back, to face the body, but he couldn't.
Keicho prided himself as a methodical person. Always ready, always prepared, and always have a backup plan to everything.
But he never planned for this...
"Hey..." He said, getting the attention of the two friends behind him, "I..." He bit on his lip in an attempt to hide his tears, "I... Did my best right?" He started to sob, "I... Tried to save... My brother... right?"
Josuke nodded even though Keicho didn't see it, "Yeah... You did..." It was sincere. And that's what he needed.
The older brother continued to silently cry to himself as they heard the fire trucks and ambulances come by at the area.
Soon after, Okuyasu was buried at the cemetery just outside of Morioh. Keicho mentioned that his father and himself had managed to save enough money to support themselves in the meantime. So he decided to settle in to Morioh with his father, all in a while managed to clean up the run down house a bit. Josuke knew better, of course. He knew the reason he stayed was to mainly track down RHCP and the user to have his revenge. But the teen was more worried about the Bow and Arrow falling into his hands again. If he did managed to find it with RHCP. But he prevented himself from speaking that outloud. He can't be sure that it would be the case. But... at this point all he could do is to talk about this with Jotaro.
So then...
At one morning the doorbell rang in the Higashikata household...
"Josuke! Could you get that?" Tomoko asked loudly to Josuke who was busy perfecting his pompadour before going to school.
"Huh?" Josuke then came out of the bathroom and groaned to himself as his morning routine was interrupted. "Yes...? Huh!?" He approached the front door and opened it for the unexpected guest.
"Ah! Good morning Josuke!" It was Keicho Nijimura greeting him at his front door, waving at him. "It's time to go to school!"
"What?!" Josuke couldn't believe his ears.
Keicho continued adjusting his collar, "Starting today, I'll be attending the same school as you," He said proudly, "As a freshman of course. Despite my age, I haven't been in school since I dropped out 10 years ago." This was a surprise. Not the attending the same school part. It was that to Josuke. Keicho seemed... well happier?
"Still man..." Josuke had brushed off the initial shock, "You didn't have to come here, it's not like we're kids you know."
"That's right" Keicho agreed, then rebutted, "But I thought it would be nice if I went to my first day with new friends correct?"
"Well isn't that a shocker ?" Josuke shot back sarcastically
Keicho nearly snapped at him for saying that, "Now watch it, Josuke. I don't need you-" but was immediately interrupted by Josuke's mother, Tomoko.
"Oh? A friend of yours Josuke?" She asked, happy that her son had made new friends.
Seeing Josuke's mother, Keicho changed to a more mannerly demeanour, "Oh yes!" He bowed to greet her, "My name is Nijimura Keicho. Nice to meet you!"
"My, how mannerly!" She was impressed at his behaviour, so she offered to come inside, "Well, come in. Have some coffee while you're waiting for Josuke to finish." While poor, poor Josuke just stood by completely befuddled by what happened just now.
"Why thank you very much!" Keicho bowed again, as thanks to the kind woman. So he let himself into the household all while whispering to Josuke, "I shouldn't be saying this. But your mother is quite lovely." Then he entered the house, "Pardon the intrusion."
Josuke, feeling defeated, slumped at his door, "Oh this is just great... And heavy..."
