The Lone Vigilante Issei – High School DxD
Hello again!
Last time, we went through a rather dark scene in the last chapter and now Issei is in a lot of trouble for what he did. What is going to happen? Will Issei be suspended, expelled or mabe worse?
Well, let us find out.
Here is the next chapter of The Lone Vigilante Issei.
Chapter 4 – The perverted trio in deep trouble
5th September, Wednesday, about 8:45 – Student Council room
After the brawl half an hour ago, Issei was now sitting nervously in the student council room. He was fidgeting in his seat as he sat across a rather unamused Souna. She looked clearly unhappy after she heard of what had happened.
Two girls with moderate-to-serious injuries due to Issei's rampage had to be taken to the hospital. Another girl had been injured due to the perverted trio… twisting her boobs (she shuddered at the thought of that) and had to go to the hospital, too.
Moreover, the whole class was more or less involved in a loud brawl that practically disrupted the entire school. This was definitely going to be a stain on the reputation of Kuoh Academy, something the student council and principal Kujou wanted to avoid.
First, they needed to deal with the main culprit: Issei Hyoudou.
He had gotten into plenty of trouble before for peeping on the girls while changing. He and his two friends, Matsuda and Motohama, were the bane of all women. Perverted trio… yes, they certainly did deserve that title.
What Souna never would have thought was that Hyoudou would start a brawl – against girls no less. She could imagine rape (since he and his buddies' actions bordered on rape), but not sheer violence!
Having Matsuda and Motohama and the kendo duo of Murayama and Katase questioned for violent acts of their own (though the latter two protested saying they were trying to stop the two of them from assaulting one their classmates) wasn't helping much either.
That is why Issei was sitting right in front of her in the student council room.
"All right, Hyoudou, explain!" Souna demanded.
Issei just sighed. He really was not in the mood to talk right now. However, he had to. Otherwise, he might never hear the end of it.
"I had just arrived in class when some of the girls were making fun over the fact that my parents died. I… didn't know what came over me… but I just snapped and… you know the rest," Issei said.
"And what were they making fun of specifically?" she inquired.
"They… claimed that I didn't deserve happiness and that I got what I deserved… They also said that…" Issei continued while getting angry at the mere memory of it again. "…they hoped my perverted antics would disappear because of it… and that I would starve... and even fantasized about being forced to live in an orphanage…"
Issei trembled out of anger once again. "They were even talking like annoying brats saying: "Mummy, Daddy, please come back! I need you guys to support my porn-obsessed lifestyle for the next 20 years!"". He spewed out before slamming his fists on the table.
"Those f****** piece of s***, they don't know anything about what I'm going through right now! They don't know how it is at all!" he ranted before whispering. "They don't anything…"
Souna remained stern unmoved upon hearing the answer. Sure, she wanted to express sympathy for losing his parents to such a tragic incident, but that did not excuse what he did today, even if they were mocking his dead parents.
"Hyoudou-san, I grieve for your loss, I really do, but what you did was unacceptable. Depending on what the principal decides to do with you, you will be punished accordingly" she spoke.
Issei didn't answer. He was tired and just wanted to go home.
"You will wait outside until you are summoned once again. Then the verdict will be handed down to you. In the meantime, could you tell Todoriki-san (that's Motohama's surname) to come in?" Souna said.
Issei nodded, before standing up and heading out the door.
Outside the doorway, he saw Matsuda and Motohama who were just lounging around waiting nervously for their turn. Once they saw Issei, they looked up.
"Motohama? You're next" Issei just said. Motohama nodded, before going in.
As the door closed, Matsuda and Issei were all by themselves.
Neither of them said anything for a while until Matsuda spoke up.
"We sure are hated, aren't we?" Matsuda said. Issei just looked at him and nodded in response.
"Yeah… I mean, why? Because we like to peep or because we like to stare at their boobs? Maybe, but go so far?" Issei asked, putting his hands in his pockets and leaning against the wall.
"I mean, what's your first reaction if you found out someone's parents died – by being killed by some one no less? Wouldn't you at least say "We're sorry?" Did those girls really have to go out of their way to make my life hell?"
"To be honest, I was also shocked when Mikasa, Karen and Mina said those things. I really can't believe people like that exist. Do they have sense of decency?" Matsuda said shaking his head.
"Though then again," Issei said. "There is a reason we're called the perverted trio, right? Who are we to talk of decency?" Matsuda dropped at sweat at that.
"W-well… you got that right…" Matsuda said embarrassed.
"Speaking of perverted, did Motohama really just twist Mina's oppai back there?" Issei asked.
"Yeah…" Matsuda sighed sadly.
He wished he was the one to touch her boobs. He bet Motohama was going to have a lot of fap-time at home just from the memories of doing it. Though then again… they didn't do it because they were horny, but because they were angry and thus couldn't properly enjoy it.
"We've got to ask Motohama for details later. In the mean-time…" Matsuda looked at Issei. Issei made eye-contact with his friend.
"… What about you?" Matsuda asked.
Issei looked confused. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, the one who is going to take all the blame for what happened today will be you, you know" Matsuda explained.
"I understand you getting angry back there, but you still went overboard, you know. Now, that you're in deep, there is the possibility that you might get expelled!" Matsuda reasoned.
Issei was shocked. Why didn't he think about that? Peeping on girls was one thing, but beating them up was quite another… The thought of being expelled scared Issei. He only hoped that somehow, he would end up getting suspension instead. He still had so much to enjoy in Kuoh – especially girls, even though some of them may be nasty.
He wanted to become a harem king.
He wanted to become stronger.
He wanted to live a fulfilling life with his family and friends, safe and secure from all harm.
But yet, Issei realized that his life was going in directions, he never even dreamed of going even a week ago.
He was orphaned, left to fend for himself, with his parents gone till they meet again after death (provided he'll end up in heaven).
He killed a man by breaking his spine with a so-called Sacred Gear.
He found out that there were powerful beings coming after him because of the power that lived inside him – and a dragon that effectively became his new room-mate.
And now he may be in trouble of being expelled! Having to apply for a new school and taking an entrance exam was going to be a hassle.
'Oh great! How many- You know what? Don't even think about it' Issei halted himself mentally. 'The moment you say that, is the moment it gets worse. If it is going to get worse, at the very least, take it head-on.'
As he was thinking this, the doors opened. Motohama came out looking pale and shocked.
Matsuda and Issei came up to him to see what was the matter.
Motohama just mumbled to himself "Please, I don't wanna go… please I don't wanna go…".
As they pondered what he meant by this, the student council president called from within the student council room.
"Hibiki-san (that's Matsuda's surname), it's your turn now" she called.
The three looked up in surprise, before Matsuda nodded and went in. The doors closed with a modest slam.
Issei in the mean-time tended to an obviously traumatized Motohama. He was sweating and still mumbling the same words to himself.
"Motohama, calm down, tell me what happened in there" Issei told him.
It worked. Motohama stopped mumbling, before he deeply inhaled and exhaled. Issei patted his back in a friendly manner.
"Motohama, tell me what happened" Issei repeated.
Though, Motohama was still unsettled, but at least he was able to talk now.
"Issei, I'm scared…" Motohama started.
Issei widened his eyes. Scared? That wasn't something he would normally say.
"Scared of what? What did Souna-kaichou say?" Issei asked.
The brown-haired glasses-wearing pervert turned to look at him with a face that screamed horror. Issei was not going to like what he had to say.
"Th-the student council president said that I was in big trouble for twisting Mina's oppai. She said that she'll recover, but doing that was a serious offense. She called it rape. Then the student council phone rang. It turns out it was principal Kujou himself. He told her, and she in turn told me, that some of the students had already told him what Matsuda and I've done and now…" Motohama drifted off.
Issei listened with dread as Motohama recounted. But he was especially on edge when Motohama stopped.
"And? Tell me! What did He say?" Issei questioned. He had a bad feeling in his stomach.
Motohama gulped as he continued.
"She said… that the principal had called… the police…" at those two words Issei's blood became cold.
'The police? Oh no, oh no, oh no…' Issei thought. His fear of being expelled was going to be the least of his problems, it seems.
But Motohama wasn't finished yet.
"But that's not all… Apparently, the police will be here in less than five minutes and when they do they are going to ask all the witnesses about the brawl. She even said that the principal had received a phone-call from Mikasa's parents. They say they plan to press charges – against us!" Motohama ended dramatically.
Issei slumped down on his knees. His mind was completely blown from what he had heard. The perverted trio going to jail? Impossible!
Motohama crouched down next to him and hugged him. Normally, he would never hug Issei or Matsuda this way, but right now was not a normal time. It was a time of desperation and uncertainty for them.
"Issei!" Motohama wailed, crying on his shoulder. "That's why I came out the way you saw me! I don't want to go to jail for life! WAHHH!"
Issei didn't say anything. He just remained there, to shocked to say or do anything.
Then the door opened once again. Matsuda came out, running and wailing.
"GUYS!" he yelled as he jumped at them, causing them all to fall on the floor.
It was only then that Issei was shaken up from his frozen state.
"Dude, what did she tell you?" Issei asked.
"NOTHING GOOD!" Matsuda sobbed. "SHE TOLD US THAT THE POLICE WERE COMING! AND THAT WE WERE IN DEEP TROUBLE! WE MIGHT EVEN GET ARRESTED!"
"I DON'T WANNA BE ARRESTED! WAHAAH!" Motohama cried.
"YEAH, I DON'T WANT TO GET ARRESTED EITHER!" Issei joined in as well.
"OH, WILL YOU BE QUIET!" Souna-kaichou shouted from the student council room, causing the three of them to be quiet.
"IF YOU'RE GOING TO CRY, DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE AND NOT WHILE I'M HERE!" she shouted, before slamming the door shut.
Nobody said a word, as they continued to sob and hug each other.
Many people who saw them marveled at the sight. They always saw the perverted trio acting like complete man-children, but they have never seen them as intimate as this.
Ever since that day, word got out that the perverted trio was gay or that they were having a threesome because they were unable to get any girls.
Little did they know that that would be last time they saw them at school as students…
9:05 am - Kuoh police station
The police came a few minutes after their wailing and took them away in the sight of numerous onlookers, all of them looking in shock, but also in relief. They finally got what they deserved, some of them thought.
They were put into a police car and driven to the police station where the perverted trio were now being detained.
They just sat there, expecting the worst. Issei himself didn't show much emotion, but deep himself he was troubled and just wanted to go home.
'Forget about going home' Issei thought. 'I could be glad if I got a bed to sleep in – even if it might be in a jail cell.'
[Partner] Ddraig's voice sounded in his mind. [We need to talk.]
'*Sigh* Ddraig, if it's about what happened today, just… I don't want to talk about it…' Issei said.
[No, we need to talk now!] Ddraig said sternly. [I know, what those girls said about you and your parents… I can understand if you get angry about it. But, what you shouldn't be doing is losing your temper like that!]
'Just leave me alone…' Issei said. He wasn't in a mood to listen to Ddraig scolding him.
[I'm not done yet! What I'm telling you is vital to becoming stronger. There will be many enemies that will make you angry or drive you over the edge. Sometimes, they do this on purpose in order to make you have tunnel vision while fighting them, thus losing your ability to think straight and keep track of your surroundings.]
'Why are you telling me this?' Issei asked annoyed.
[To train you, Partner!] Ddraig answered equally annoyed. [Didn't you say that you wanted training? Didn't you say you wanted to become strong for your parents' sake?]
At that Issei couldn't find an answer. He suddenly remembered what he had said at his parents' tombstones.
"I won't die so easily! I'll make sure to live on – for your sakes! I've got friends, classmates, teachers, neighbors and all of Kuoh, too! I'll protect them so that nobody will have to go through the pain of losing their loved ones, like I did! I'll get stronger… smarter… working hard to achieve my goals, in order to achieve it!"
"I'll become stronger. I will definitely become stronger. I'll make sure that I'll continue to train with Ddraig, even if it kills me."
"Mum… Dad…" Issei said quietly.
How could he have been stupid? He wanted to become stronger in order to protect Kuoh, not so that he could become a thug like his killer!
But now, Issei thought in shame… he had committed a serious crime. He just beat up two of his classmates, almost killing them.
How could he have forgotten what he had promised them? Part of what he said, he said a few hours ago… And he threw it all away… at the heat of the moment.
And now, he was at the police station, awaiting interrogation for what he did.
Issei felt ashamed for what he did. He wanted to tell those two girls… and their parents that he was sorry.
'But now, I guess it's too late for apologies' Issei thought sadly. 'All that I can do know, is to take it head-on'.
[Partner, are you there?] Ddraig asked. Issei just nodded.
'Ddraig, you were right. I shouldn't have lost my temper back there and I'm sorry for brushing you off just now' Issei replied, the irritation in his voice now gone.
[Apology accepted] Ddraig answered.
'But seriously, Ddraig. There is no way we can continue training while we are in detention like before. So how am I going to get stronger?' Issei asked.
[There are many ways to train, Partner] Ddraig answered. [If you are locked in a cell, instead of running, you can do calisthenics, like push-ups, sit-ups and so on. In fact, once we get there I think we're gonna have you do 20 push-ups and 30 sit-ups and ten pull-ups.]
Issei dropped a sweat at that.
'He sure planned everything ahead of time, didn't he?' Issei thought to himself.
While Issei was thinking to himself, Ddraig spoke to him once more.
[Partner, I should mention something I noticed at school] Ddraig said. Issei perked up at that.
'What is it?' Issei asked.
[It's about what I told you about supernatural beings] Ddraig explained.
Issei's eyes widened in shock as he heard those words. 'What about them? Are they at school?'
Ddraig nodded. [Yes, in fact I sensed a number of devil auras at school. You were lucky, Partner. They didn't notice my aura – or at least they didn't take any action.]
'Devil auras? You mean, this whole time there were devils at school?' Issei asked Ddraig.
He couldn't believe it. They had infiltrated Kuoh Academy, already?
How long have they been here?
How did they accomplish it?
But before Issei could ask any of these questions, Ddraig continued with his findings.
[That's not all, Partner. When you were talking to the student council president, the smell of devil's auras was particularly strong.]
'So, what are you trying to say?' Issei asked.
[I'm saying that the student council might be infiltrated by devils] Ddraig answered.
Issei's mind clicked at that. Devils in the student council? But that would mean that they were in a position of power?
'This doesn't sound good' Issei thought. 'Who knows what they could do?'
[And the last part I should mention…] Ddraig listed his final finding. […Is that much of the aura I was smelling…]
Issei waited in anticipation of Ddraig's final finding.
[…came from the student council president Souna Shitori herself!] Ddraig declared.
Issei's mind was blown away at that moment.
Souna Shitori…
… was a devil!?
All this time when he got summoned, scolded and punished by her, he was dealing with a devil!?
He always thought that her cold, calculating and strict character was otherworldly, but this?
That would certainly explain a lot…
What about the rest of the student council like Tsubaki-senpai? Were they devils, too?
Before Issei could think about it, three policemen came up to him and his two friends.
"Come with us" one of them said. They complied, standing up and following the policemen.
They walked down a hallway until they reached an area with some cells. These cells had transparent glass window, with a table and two chairs inside.
"Each of you will go into one of these cells where you will await your respective investigators."
The policemen opened the doors and first led Motohama into the first. The perverted trio glanced at each other nervously before Motohama was ushered inside.
Then Matsuda was next. He too was moved into a cell, albeit a different one to where Motohama was.
And then Issei was led into another cell where he was made to sit down and wait for his investigator.
10:15 am – Kuoh police prison cells
The investigators basically asked the three of them the same questions as the school did. Naturally they answered with the same answers.
They also asked them about their past perverted activities and pornographic activities which they all admitted. Yet, all three quickly denied that their perverted tendencies were the cause of the brawl.
As for Issei, who had lost his parents, the police told him that the courts might show some leniency because of his situation and that a legal guardian will be provided to him once he gets released.
Other than that, they were reprimanded for their actions and were told that, until the trial took place, they were going to be held in police custody.
Thankfully, Japanese law gave the perverted trio the right to an attorney. But until the attorney came or until they were bailed out, they were required to remain detained in one of the police cells.
And so Issei, Matsuda and Motohama were taken to another section of the police building where they housed the inmates.
The three of them looked around nervously. It was grey and bleak, just what you would expect from a prison. There also were a lot of jail cells, too!
In some of these cells, they could even see the faces of inmates of all kinds, just looking at them through the door slit of their doors.
The perverted trio still couldn't believe it. They were being taken to jail!
They hoped it was some kind of nightmare, but unfortunately everything that was happening was real.
Eventually, the perverted trio were brought to a certain cell.
"All right boys, this is where you'll be staying until the trial" the police man said.
The man opened the door and ushered the three of them in.
They looked around in their cell.
The cell was surprisingly clean. It had white walls, a window with bars with a rather nice view of the area (it was on the second floor, by the way!) and a bunker-bed for two people.
However, the cell did seem kind of small with a size of 3x5 meters and… wait was that bunker-bed made for only two people?
"Now," the police man explained. "There are several rules you need to know while you are in here. First, during your stay here, please be mindful that we have other prisoners here in the cells next to you and beneath you. You will have to make sure that anything you do, won't disturb the others."
The perverted trio just looked at each other, before nodding in response.
"Secondly, on the door to the left…" the man said, before opening said door. "…Is the door to the bathroom for your personal use. We don't want you to be unhygienic during your stay here."
The three of them peeked inside the bathroom. Inside the bathroom was a toilet seat and a shower.
'Ok, this doesn't seem so bad… I think' Issei thought to himself.
"And last of all…" the man held out his opened hand. "…You must hand over all your wallets and smartphones".
The perverted trio stood in shock as they heard what the police man said.
"W-w-why…?" Matsuda stuttered. No smartphones? How on earth could he live without his smartphone?
"Prison regulations, young man. Prison regulations. Phone calls to the outside can only be made via a special prison phone" The officer explained.
The three of them looked at each other unsure. It was clear that neither one of them wanted to give up their prized possessions. But the man was unwavering.
"Come on, now. Don't be shy." The man said gently, but the firmness of his statement was undeniable.
And so, they reluctantly fumbled in their pockets and took out their wallets and smartphones and gave it to the police officer. After collecting them all, he put them in the pouch that he carried on the side of his waist.
"Well, that wasn't so hard after all. Now those were the rules you needed to know for your stay here. Are there any more questions before we go?" the officer asked.
Issei raised his hand.
"Yes" the man gestured to Issei.
"Umm, when are we going to get them back?" Issei asked.
"When you are released from custody at earliest, but in case you are sentenced to prison, I cannot guarantee that you will get them back after you've served your time. In this case, you have to come by the police station again to ask more."
The three of them shuddered. "Served your time" … such cruel words…
Motohama raised his hand next.
"You mentioned something about prison calls, how can we ask for that?"
"You knock on your cell door here…" the officer demonstrated by doing so. "…And the guard standing closest to the cell will come and help you with your requests."
Finally, Matsuda raised his hand.
"Wait, I see only a bunk-bed for two, yet there are three of us, so… ummm… don't you think there should be another bed for us?"
"I understand your concerns" the man answered. "Yet, unfortunately, we've had a lot of prisoners coming in lately, which is why we are running low on beds and cells for the moment. We did consider putting one of you in a different cell, but we don't want to be using too many cells – especially considering that at this rate the cells will all be taken".
The three of them paled.
"Wait, you mean to say we're going to be stuck here, trying to sleep in a bed meant for two people!?" Issei asked incredulously. The officer only nodded at that.
"Unfortunately, yes. Besides, a trio of friends like you should be able to make arrangements among each other, right? It's still better than two of you sleeping together in one cell, while the other is in another cell with a complete stranger who is in for murder for example."
The perverted trio saw the logic of the officer's argument and said nothing.
The officer made his way out of the cell, but turned back one last time.
"Lunch will be brought in through the lower slit of your cell door. You will be informed of the date of your court trial by me or my colleagues, until then, I wish you well" the police man said, before leaving the cell.
The door went shut and the sound of keys and the lock closing were heard, before the man walked away.
The perverted trio was finally alone.
They didn't say anything, not knowing what to say. Instead, they just stood there shocked at everything that had transpired.
Until about half a minute, Motohama got up and sat down on the lower bed. One could see that he was completely stressed out and tired. No wonder! Just a few hours ago, they were just going to school like normal (except for the dogs) only to end up getting into an ugly brawl.
And now… they were in jail! This was going to take some time for them to accept the reality of the situation.
But what were they to do in the mean-time?
"Guys?" Matsuda said. The other two looked at him with interest.
"I'm taking the lower bunk, you two share the upper one together" Matsuda stated.
The two of them looked at him with irritation.
"Oh, hell no! I'm not sharing a bed with Issei!" Motohama protested.
"Yeah," Issei joined in. "There's no way I'm gonna just share a bed with Motohama! You share it with him!"
"Issei, I'm not gay!" Motohama fired back. "There is no way I'm ever going to sleep with Matsuda"
"Yeah, I agree!" Matsuda added. "I want to have sex with a cute girl, not with Motohama!"
"Besides," Motohama continued. "What if I get a sexy dream and have to fap? What am I going to do about that, huh?" the other two dropped a sweat at that.
"Well… just go to the bathroom, I guess…" Issei said.
He felt awkward talking with fapping issues, even with Matsuda and Motohama.
"Good point" Matsuda stated. "But back to the issue, the police man said that we were supposed to make arrangements among ourselves, right?"
The Motohama and Issei nodded. Of course, that's what the police man said. But if they didn't know what kind of arrangements the were supposed to make…
Suddenly, Issei had an idea.
"Guys, I got it!" he exclaimed. The other two looked at him confused.
"What? What have you got?" Motohama asked.
"The answer on how to share the beds!" Issei answered.
His two buddies looked at him with hopeful eyes.
"You know how to deal with it? How?" Matsuda enquired.
"Easy!" Issei grinned. "We'll play paper, rock, scissors. We'll play a total of three rounds, one-on-one, then we switch opponents and the one with the most wins gets to sleep by himself. How does that sound?" Issei asked.
"Sounds good to me" Matsuda replied.
"Let's do this!" Motohama affirmed.
The three of them looked at each other, smiling in a cocky fashion. There was no way they were going to lose this.
"All right, let's begin!" Issei said with a devious smirk on his face.
And so, the battle for the bunks began. Little did they know that this was but a foretaste of the trials lying ahead of them.
10:35 am in Kuoh Central Hospital, in one of the hospital rooms
On the white clean and soft bed, lay a girl about Issei's age wearing white pajamas that hospital staff had put on her.
She had long black hair that lay as motionless on the bed as the girl herself, except for breathing. The reason for why she was lying motionless was because she was unconscious.
Not only that, but part of her hair had been covered by the bandages around her head and the bandages themselves were stained by blood.
Right next to her stood two monitors that showed waves of her heart pulse and the other showed her brain activity. Moreover, her mouth and nose were connected to a breathing tube that provided her with oxygen.
As she lay there, the door slowly opened, revealing a nurse and a man in his middle twenties.
He had black hair just like the girl, except that his were short in contrast to that of the girl's. He wore a brown coat, black pants and shoes. He had a neutral facial expression when he saw the girl. But most people would know better than to say he felt nothing upon seeing her.
The man looked at the nurse.
"How is she?" he asked.
"Well, her medical situation is stable, but her head may have sustained Traumatic Brain Injury. We put her in medical comatose to make sure her situation doesn't deteriorate, but… we don't know when she will wake up or even if she will wake up" the nurse explained.
The man seemingly took those damning words with no emotion whatsoever.
He just looked at the girl and sat down next to her.
"Could you please leave me and her alone for a while?" the man requested.
The nurse nodded. "All right, but call me if you need anything." She said before she went out the door and closed it.
The man just breathed in deeply. He just sat there, not doing anything really.
After five minutes he finally spoke up.
"How long has it been, little sister?" the man asked. But there was no answer because the girl was in a coma.
"Hasn't it been six months since we last spoke face to face? Even after that amount of time, you've grown… prettier. I bet boys must be looking at you now" he continued.
The man sighed while looking at his little sister.
"You always said that you wanted to become a police officer just like I am, fighting for the welfare of this city. You said that you would never give up on your dreams to do just that…" the man trailed off, before sighing again.
Speaking to his sister like this was going to be harder than he thought.
"…But now… I'm not even sure if you're ever… going to wake up again…" the man went on, this time his emotions starting to come out. They were emotions of grief and sorrow welling up from within him, threatening to burst out, as he looked down in sadness.
"All of your dreams…going into a coma… just like you are right now. And why? All because some stupid jerk… felt like doing it…" he started to tear up, his tears starting to run down his cheeks. His teeth were clenched together out of agony.
"But he won't get away…" the man continued, looking up, his eyes showing his anger. "I spoke to your school principal and your classmates… they told me what happened… and who did this to you… and I swear to you that he won't get away!"
The man stood up as he looked at his sister one last time.
"Rest assured, Mikasa. I won't rest until I've brought him to justice. There is no way the courts will give him what he deserves. What he deserves is death! And I will make sure that he will die!" the man spoke out in rage.
He left Mikasa as he stormed out the door past a surprised nurse who was waiting for him outside.
"Yes, I will make sure that he dies!" the man fumed. "I'll find you… and kill you! Just you wait…" he swore, as he went out the building.
"…Issei Hyoudou!"
11:25 am – Kuoh police prison cells
Issei Hyoudou felt a shiver down his spine. He didn't know what it was, but whatever it was it made him uncomfortable.
Well, at least he didn't have to share a bed with either one of his prison buddies.
It turns out that Issei managed to win two times, while Matsuda only won once and Motohama lost both times.
They both didn't accept it, so they agreed to play for another three rounds and Issei won his matches as well.
After much wrangling and hesitation of Matsuda and Motohama, they agreed to share a bed with each other – but only on the condition that if they stayed here longer than two nights, the next one would have his chance to sleep by himself.
The two of them tried out lying on the same bed, but narrowly managed to do so.
They feared that either one of them could fall out of bed during the night, so they took the upper bunk which at least had a railing.
Issei himself had other thoughts right now.
He felt ashamed of his actions this morning. If he had not lost his temper this morning, they wouldn't be in this mess. He felt the need to apologize.
"Guys?" Issei called. His two buddies looked down at him from the top bunk.
"Yeah, what's up?" Matsuda asked.
"I… I need to apologize… for getting into that fight this morning and dragging you in… if I hadn't done it… we wouldn't be here…"
Matsuda and Motohama looked at each other, before turning back to Issei.
"Dude… even if that was true, we don't hold it against you." Matsuda replied, causing Issei to look at them in surprise.
"Yeah!" Motohama exclaimed. "Anyone would have beat the living daylights out of those girls, if someone insulted their dead parents. Besides, we jumped right into the fray, knowing we would get into trouble, right? So, it's fine. At least we're all together – safe and sound."
"G-guys…" Issei said with tears in his eyes. "Thank you…"
"No problem, man" Matsuda smiled. "Though, I wish I was the one to have grabbed Mina's oppai before we went to jail."
"You know…?" Motohama said. "Even though I was able to grab her boobs, it just wasn't the same. Grabbing them to hurt someone, in anger no less… it just wasn't worth it…"
"Wow… I knew it! I knew it would suck!" Matsuda replied and so a long discussion on touching boobs started between the two of them that lasted well into the evening.
Issei was happy as he looked out the window, reminiscing what his father had told him before he died.
"…I still think you should at least try to see the good things in everything – and everyone. Who knows, maybe you will never get the chance to see them again."
Those words echoed in his mind, as Ddraig spoke up.
[Well, Partner, should we begin our training?]
'Yeah, I think I'm ready!' Issei responded.
[Ready for some push-up exercises?] Ddraig asked. Issei nodded in affirmative as he got down from his bed and started.
'Oh well, as Motohama said: At least we're all together – safe and sound! It's not like the supernatural beings are gonna come busting in here trying to kill me!' Issei thought.
Little did he know that he was only partially right.
As Issei was exercising, a new police officer came in, reported for duty and walked into the police station to perform his duties.
Nobody knew that that police officer came with only one agenda:
To kill Issei Hyoudou!
And that was the fourth chapter of The Lone Vigilante Issei.
Now you might be asking: "Throwing the perverted trio into prison? Why would you do that? And aren't they minors?"
Well, I thought of a lot of ways how to continue this story.
Logically, for badly beating up two girls (or in Matsuda's and Motohama's case twisting a girl's boobs) deserves some serious punishment. There was no way the perverted trio would get Scott-free from this.
I thought of a month of suspension, but that would be too kind a punishment.
Then I thought of expelling them, but given what Issei has done, there was no way the police would not get involved in this.
At first, I thought of giving them community service and have them avoid prison. But either way, you need a court ruling for it.
So, correct me if I'm wrong, but before one can get summoned to court one is either detained in police custody or bailed-out, which none of them have so far.
One should note that in Japan, the law is tougher on minors and that once you're fifteen, you won't be tried in a juvenile court anymore, so a normal court procedure for any given Japanese adult is more likely.
To top it all off, I've read that tougher punishments on young criminals is in high demand in Japan, hence the school's resort to police involvement (though I presume any country would call the police in this kind of situation).
But where could this be going, you may ask?
Well, I thought of having Issei and his friends go through some challenges along the way – together. I thought of a lot of ways of having them find out Issei's secret and I picked this one.
I even brought in some original characters along the way, as you've noticed:
The vengeful police-man (whose name I'll create and reveal later)
His sister Mikasa (the black-haired girl whom Issei beat up in the last chapter)
Karen (the blond-haired girl whom Issei beat up as well)
And Mina (the red-haired girl that got her boobs twisted)
I also decided to give Matsuda and Motohama surnames (which they don't appear to have in the canon universe) namely:
Matsuda Hibiki
Motohama Todoriki
As for the next chapter:
Well… let's just say that from then on, they're going to have to fight for their lives and possibly find out Issei's secret.
Until next time!
