"This town, this town needs a little excitement, it needs a good laugh. These people are too serious, they need a good laugh; and I'm the one to give it to them." a figure with a purple trench coat said as he flicked a knife in his hand as he passed a girl wearing the local middle school's uniform the fighure paused and looked the girl a horrible smile forming on his face. He quickly grabbed the girl and placed the knife to her throat
"Tell me Why So Serious?" the man said muffling the girl's scream.
That night at the docks a fishing ship was dock to off load its load, but what the crew was unaware to was the stowaway jumping off the back of the ship. The stowaway was a young girl looking around to make sure she wasn't caught she took off from the ship slipping into the shadows. She looked around remembering the city she once lived in, it had been a while since she was here. She was a different person then.
"Three months" she said pulling her hood over her face more to hide it better. She didn't feel like it was time for her to return to who she was. She left one way, lighter and happier. But she returned darker and damaged. She worried about what they now thought of her if they found who what happened.
"Things changed" she laughed walking into the night.
The next Morning Madoka arrived at school later than normal, shivering thanks to the autumn weather. Her school had switched to its winter uniform, which didn't differ from the normal uniform much, just a longer and thicker skirt with a blazer for the girls and a thicker jacket for the guys, most people wore their own scarves and gloves, like the fluffy light pink scarf wrapped around Madoka's neck.
"Why do we have to come to school on such a cool day" she grumbled pulling her scarf up more. Soon she spotted someone near the side of the building. "Excuse me are you alright?" she asked the person who didn't move. Taking a step closer she saw something was wrong, she slowly continue to the person which she saw was an upperclassman. But she froze when she was right up close. The girl wasn't standing, she was pinned to the wall by a hunting knife through her hands. Her once beige colour shirt was now a mix of red and beige, her face had a smile basically gouged into it. Madoka felt her lungs refusing air. Her feet feeling like they were weighed down with lead. She was looking at a murder victim. Finally the air in her lungs opened releasing the air needed to scream.
"Man that test was brutal, do you think they'll release the results soon?" Kirito asked switching his shoes out before bringing out his camera and taking a snapshot of the school cutest couple who were rugged up together.
"Not sure, don't really care" Yosuke said
"Well ignoring the grump there I think it will be fine, too think we only have a few months left of school" Naruto said
"Yeah, then we'll be in high school. And our cute little kohai will be the top dogs around here. So is everyone going to the high school here?" Mami said
"Maybe" Kirito shrugged
"Nah, I'm going to be going to Yashogami Inaba High, it's not that far by train from here" Yosuke said
"I don't know if I'll go to High School considering our new jobs" Naruto said
"But you should continue just in case" Kirito said
"Yeah maybe" Naruto said before a scream filled the air. "Guys that was Madoka!" he shouted running outside with the older guys following him.
"MADOKA!" Mami cried once they reached her, only to find her puking her guts up in the bushes. Mami went and crouched down next to her, rubbing her back and offered her some water.
"Is everything okay?" Naruto asked before looking around
"I don't think so" Kirito said pointing at the corpse
"WHOA!" Naruto leapt back being the closest to it
"SONUVABITCH!" Yosuke cried. "Who...who would do something like this, it's so...so...so twisted and messed up" he said gulping in between sentences, soon they realised that Madoka had seen this and screamed.
"We got to work fast, Mami take Madoka home NOW!" Naruto shouted as Mami helped Madoka up, grabbed her bag and lead her back home
"I'll take care of you until your father gets back" Mami said knowing Tomohisa was doing errands that morning. She looked back and nodded. Naruto pulled on his ring and pointed it at the corpse.
"Wait" Kirito said taking a picture of where the body was, "Okay take it down, Yosuke get something to cover the body with, no one else needs to see this. I'll contact Slade and then the police" the dark knight said, while Naruto removed the knife and lowered the body with his power ring
"Got it" Yosuke said speeding away and coming back twenty seconds later with a large blue sheet which they used to cover the body with. "I alos brought some cones to set up so we don't have nosy students " Yosuke added setting them out
"Good thinking" Naruto said. "Now boys comes the real fun" he said as several teachers came out.
"Explaining things to the teachers. Yippee" Yosuke said as Kirito slipped away. They were unaware of thegirl from the other night observing the scene.
Slade was not having a good day, considering ARGUS just lost a high value target the other day and just now told him about it. So of course he was going to be pissed off enough to rip them a new one. When he calmed down Junko came in and gave him the records she went over, finding out that some of the funds were missing. SO right now he was nursing a triple Red Labelled Bundaberg Rum and silently cursing his day wondering what else will pop up to piss him of. Suddenly his phone rang
"Wilson" he said taking a gulp of his drink.
"Sir, this is Kirito speaking, we have a situation" Kirito said
"Can't be as bad as the day I'm having here kid" Slade said
"Well you see a body was discovered at the school" Kirito said "Madoka stumbled onto it and let us know by screaming"
"Well, I stand corrected" Slade said "Anything about this body?"
"Sir I counted about twenty stab wounds, not including the massive wound in her hands where a knife was used to hold her up, but the most disturbing thing was the Glasgow smile carved into her face." Kirito said
"The what?" Slade asked stunned
"Glasgow smile, you know a cut that makes it look like a person has a smile on their face" Kirito said
"I know that. Listen Kazuto; the Glasgow smile is the calling card of a dangerous serial killer ARGUS has designated as Target J. He was originally from a place called Gotham City but our agents finally stopped him and they were transporting him to Tartarus, a top secret Ultramax prison when he escaped." Slade said "And now he's running around Mitakhihara City, I'm putting you guys on red alert. I'm also sending in two more guys to help you catch this sick and demented son of a bitch!"
"Understood" Kirito said. Once Kirito hung up Slade pulled out the bottle of Bundaberg rum and looked at the glass he pour before and just said "Screw it" and started drinking from the bottle.
"I just got off the phone with Slade, turns out he knows this guy, and he's giving us back up" Kirito said
"DO you know who?" Yosuke asked
"No, plus he sounded worried." Kirito said when the police had set up a crime scene, soon a detective came over to them.
"Hey boys I'm detective Masaoka, I was wondering if I can ask you some questions?" the detective said
"Sure" Naruto said
"At what time did you find the body?" Masaoka asked.
"Around 9:00, we heard a scream and saw one of our friends being sick in the bushes, which lead us to here" Yosuke said
"And the body was it laying down?" Masaoka said
"We moved it to make sure no one else saw the body, don't worry we took a picture of it before we moved it" Kirito said showing the picture to Masaoka, who in turn thanked him.
"I'm interested in how you removed the knife from her hands without leaving any fingerprints" Masaoka said
"Um, I used my scarf to grip the handle and these two lowered the body down." Naruto said
"Okay, now next question, did you touch anything else besides the knife and body?" Masaoka asked harshly
"No we didn't" Naruto said
"Good lads, now where can I find this friend of yours?" the aging detective asked.
"Here's her address, my girlfriend is with her to keep her company" Naruto said
"Alright, thank you very much" the aging detective smiled.
"Now Ms Kaname, you do realise that you should have a parent or guardian present while I question you right?" Masaoka asked "I
"Yes" Madoka said "My dad should be home shortly"
"Okay, then I'll wait for a while" Masaoka said
"Hey Mami, do you think I could have a drink?" Madoka asked
"Sure I'll get it for you, what do you want?" Mami asked
"Some of what Mama drinks when she's stressed" Madoka said
"Okay, first maybe not the best thing to ask in front of a detective, and secondly don't you want to have your first drink with your mother?" Mami asked
"I guess" Madoka said
"Sharing your first drink with your mother is a nice choice" Masaoka said as the front door opened.
"Madoka?" Junko asked running over to her daughter
"MAMA!" Madoka cried as she felt her mother's arms embrace her before soothing her. "I'm her mother Junko Kaname"
"I'm Detective Masaoka, now I talked with three boys and they said you were the first one to find the deceased" Masaoka said gently.
"Yes that's right, I thought she was just waiting for someone, once I saw that she was dead I screamed before quickly threw up in the bushes; I'm sorry if I ruined the crime scene" Madoka said as Junko rubbed her back while Mami gave her the cup of tea she was brewing. "Thanks Mami"
"Then what happen?" Junko asked.
"Mami and the others found me and Naruto suggested that I be escorted home by Mami" she said taking a sip
"And Naruto is, the Blonde right?" Masaoka asked "He seemed to be a natural leader kind of person"
"He is" Madoka said "I'm sorry but that's all I know"
"No problem kiddo, thank you for your time Miss Kaname, and if you see anything else or remember anything call me on this number okay?" the old detective said
"Alright" Madoka whispered.
"Hey, chin up we'll get whoever did this to her"
"I know you will" Mami said 'Because we'll be helping you out as well'
