Chapter 41: The Final Countdown part 2
Josuke walked through the halls, he was looking for Kira, Yoshikage Kira. The name rang through his head, it had been so long since had heard the name, it brought him back some unpleasant memories for him, a lot of unpleasant memories. He shook his head, "it's in the past," he said to himself, "that doesn't matter anymore, I just need to find the kid." He turned the corner and there he saw him, Kira stood by one of the windows, smoking a cigarette. Kira turned to Josuke, his face stone cold, it sent a slight chill down Josuke's spine.
"Do you need something?" Said Kira, "or are you going to stand there like an idiot?" Josuke was slightly taken aback, "y-yeah I am, I'm not as stupid as I may look," Josuke responded, "and besides, don't you think you're too young to be smoking?" Kira scoffed, "it's none of your business sir," he said, "anyway, if you came here to judge me, then I suggest you leave, I don't feel like dealing with that shit." "You said that you got your name from your grandfather, right?" Kira's head snapped to Josuke, "the hell did you hear that from?" Kira asked, "Jolyne told me about it, but I had a feeling of it as well." Kira rolled his eyes, "dumb bitch," he muttered, "yeah, you're correct, my name comes from my grandfather, he unfortunately passed away before I was born, what a shame." Josuke rubbed the back of his neck, "uh, yeah, what a shame…" Kira raised an eyebrow, "you seem disturbed by that fact," he said, "what is it to you?" Josuke chuckled slightly, "well, you see, I uhm… I kinda knew your grandfather, I was the one who killed him."
Josuke gulped, "fuck," he thought to himself. Kira's glared over Josuke, he smirked, turning away. "Y-You don't seem upset by this," said Josuke. Kira put the cigarette back in his mouth, he brushed his hair, peering out to the land below the mansion, "it's all in the past," he muttered, "if you killed him, then he must have done something that forced your hand, every effect has a cause you know." Kira put out the blunt and tossed it outside, "are you afraid, that I am like my grandfather? Do you fear something will happen to that girl?" Josuke began to tense up, "the hell are you getting at!?" "I'm asking if you if you have a problem with me being so close to Jolyne," Kira said, "I don't want you to think I will bring her harm, I frankly don't care about her, but if you have a problem with me being here, I suggest you air them out now instead of later. Josuke sighed, "no, I don't have an issue, I just don't want there to be any tension over, you know, me killing your grandfather." "I told you, every effect has a cause, if you aren't a problem, I won't be a problem either." Kira walked past Josuke, leaving him be. Josuke turned to him, rubbing his chin, "he's, interesting to say the least," Josuke said to himself, "I'll make sure to keep an eye on him, but for now, let's see what his true motives really are."
The sun began to set, Hunter checked his watch, "7:48." "It's nearly time," he said. He leaned back in the seat of his car, he peered outside, the sky began to darken , night was falling. "So where is this guy boss?" Irene asked from the back of the car, "he'll be here, trust me," replied Hunter, "everything takes time my dear." Irene cocked an eyebrow, "are you sure staying here is a good idea? They know we're going to be here; don't you think we should try and move away and surprise them?" Hunter chuckled, "you would think that, but that is what they want us to do, we will stay here, if they are truly going to come here, then we will have the element of surprise, we know they way of this land, you'll see, God's Plan has taken us this far, and it will continue to do just that." Hunter began to laugh, "our journey is almost over my dear, after this, Bronny, Giorno, and the rest of Passione, will cease to exist!"
