Tsukasa was in her office, as she was studying the reports. She narrated, as she was writing in her notepad, "Agent Sakurai's words were legit… This could be a repeat of Morioh Town, back in 1999. Something evil IS lurking in this town… The number in 1999, at Morioh Town, of people disappearing is equaled to 93; 47 of them were children. F City, as of this year alone, shares the exact same number, at only 107 people… and only 35 of them were children. But even if they were runaways, that's still seven to eight times more than the amount of the national average. That's outrageous."
She looked at the obituaries and concluded, "But… Gojo Shioji…"
Iwata approached the doorway and called, "Hey, Tsukasa? Why are you still here? Come on. You wanna hang out? Ropponmatsu and I were thinking of tagging along with Princeton, if we run into him. He's feeling a whole lot better, since he and Asahi found Shioji's murderer."
Tsukasa nodded and replied, "Uh, sure."
She narrated, "That's a relief. I'm glad Princeton is feeling better."
Episode 43 – Chapter 1: School's Out!
The Sisters of Yandere!
During their walk, Chazz, Iwata, R-1, & Tsukasa were walking together, heading to a different area of town, on patrol. Misaki, Watanabe, and Sumiyoshi had to leave early, still bummed over Shioji's death, and R-2 was staying at home, being lazy. They walked past the brick wall, as Chazz waved, "Yo, Angelo."
It was the same Angelo Wall that Chazz created. Tsukasa asked, "Eh? Wait, wasn't this wall like this?"
R-1 responded, "Is this graffiti?"
Chazz replied, "No, it's more like it was given a facelift. Thought we'd get a little modern art into the world."
Tsukasa nodded, "Oh, then…"
She saluted, "Yo, Angelo!"
The wall grunted, as she walked off. Iwata was confused, but sighed, "Eh, what do I know. Yo, Angelo!"
They continued walking. Tsukasa asked, "Hey, Princeton, I've been meaning to ask, what happened to Agent Sakurai?"
Chazz said, "Well, she said that she's still staying in the Grand Hotel. There was more stuff that she was looking into."
Tsukasa asked, "Do you think it might be because of this town?"
Chazz said, "Sure seems like it."
R-1 turned her head to the left, as she stopped. Tsukasa said, "We're facing a crisis…"
She stopped and asked, "Ropponmatsu? Why did you stop?"
R-1 said, "I sense human behavior in this building."
Tsukasa looked up and gasped, seeing a female shadow in the background, up in the second floor. She asked, "Is that-? Hey, Iwata!"
They stopped, as she said, "I could be wrong, but… Isn't this building supposed to be abandoned for years?"
Iwata asked, "What are you talking about?"
They viewed a Gothic-styled house, as Chazz sighed, "Must be an eyesore for Halloween. But we live close by to this place, since no one is allowed to live here, being it's due for demolition. Besides, I've seen some realtors search the building, looking for squatters."
Tsukasa said, "Well… M-m-maybe that they moved in. For a moment, I saw a person inside…"
Iwata barked, "But that's impossible! Have you realized where I live? There's no way that someone would live in this rat's nest. No one has."
Tsukasa said, "I guess you're right. But Ropponmatsu sensed human life inside."
R-1 replied, "Indeed. I only sense three people in this building. However, the data is inconclusive."
Tsukasa walked closer to the gate, as she whispered, "How peculiar… I thought for sure it might be a ghost…"
Iwata gasped, "Hey! Don't say that! Ghosts give me the heebie-jeebies!"
She took a peek into the gate door and looked around. Suddenly, a female leg slammed the door onto Tsukasa's neck. She gagged, as she was being choked. Iwata and Chazz gasped, "TSUKASA!"
She was suffocating, as the leg reveals to be a woman in long purplish black hair, wearing a black and white school uniform. She stared down at the girl she was choking, and then smiled, "Try keeping your nose out of other people's business, brat!"
She was gasping for air, as R-1 cried, "Senior Tsukasa!"
Chazz growled, "You bitch! Who the hell are you? What are you even doing?"
The woman smiled, "What's it to ya? You and your friends are on my property!"
Iwata cried, "Have you lost your friggin' mind? Let her go!"
The woman hissed, "Lemme make something real clear. My Mother bought me this house, for my friends! That means you should not nose around here! Get me?"
Chazz smirked, "I think you're the one that is not getting it, lady. Let go of her, right now."
Suddenly, the figure appeared and held up a bow and arrow. She fired, and the arrow flew.
The woman smiled, "Don't you know how to be polite? It's not nice of calling other people insulting names."
Chazz huffed, "I know for a fact that, woman or not, I'm going to smash that prissy little face of yours, if you don't shut your goddamn mouth!"
JAB!
The arrow whizzed by, and is jabbed onto Tsukasa's neck, piercing her Adam's Apple. She croaked, as blood was gushing out, and her eyes were dilated and wide open. She gagged, as Iwata sobbed, "No… Tsuka-…"
He shrieked, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Chazz and Iwata looked up, as the second woman was above the window, holding her bow. The woman called up, "Hey, seriously!"
The woman holding the bow, "Interested into why I am holding the bow, and jabbing it into the girl's neck? Because the gynoid and the pervert are nothing of my concern. The man in black… him… HE is Angelo's murderer – Chazz Princeton!"
The woman from below brimmed in dark energy, "Really… So, Chazz Princeton, in the flesh… Nice to meet you. You know, Sekai told me about how you dealt with Angelo, after she went through all the hard work of reviving his legacy of evil."
Sekai said, "Given his abilities that defeated Angelo, his Spirit Caller and its powers is a nuisance to us."
Chazz gasped, "Spirit Caller? You know my Spirit Caller? OUT WITH IT! Are you Stand Users?"
Sekai glared, as her red eyes flashed, since she is only a shadow, "Kotonoha, make sure you make Chazz Princeton disappear."
The gate opened, as Tsukasa fell limp and bloodied. R-1 ran to her, but Kotonoha called, "Uh-uh-uh! One false move, and you, busty sex robot, are scrap metal. And you, pervert with the ugly face, that goes for you, too!"
Sekai said, "I had hopes she'd turn into a Stand User… and yet it was all for naught. Yet she's still twitching, still alive. Too bad, I figured she'd be useful."
Chazz growled, "Not again!"
He ran to Tsukasa, but Kotonoha called, "I said no! She's dead!"
He roared, "I SAID MOVE IT! I can heal her with Ojama Star!"
She grinned, "Too bad."
She unleashed her Stand, as she called, "Chazz Princeton, talk to the Stand, because the face is not listening! I, Kotonoha Katsura, will make you disappear! BEHOLD! THE HOOK!"
Her Stand was a female figure with hooks for arms and legs, and its face similar to a demonic banshee. It was coated in blue, purple, white, and crimson trims. She said, "Get ready!"
Her Stand lashed at Chazz, using its hook hands for claws, and slashed towards him.
POW!
But he countered with a right hook to the chin. He said to her, "Out of the way, or I'll make good on my promise to smash your face in."
Kotonoha grinned, with blood on her lip, "Wow… You're pretty fast. It's a good thing I learn from Sekai. A Stand is controlled, like driving a car or a motorcycle."
Sekai called, "Indeed, Kotonoha. Any moron would control a muscle car, but with only air between his ears, he'll still be too scared to drive."
Kotonoha called, "Hey, Sis, why do you have to be mean to me? This bastard's a little faster than I thought!"
Sekai roared out, "LET ME REMIND YOU, KOTONOHA, THAT THIS IS NOT A GAME! There was a time where the mere thought of your Stand, The Hook, sent horrific chills down my spine, and made Ito piss his pants in fright! Act like a yandere, and avenge Angelo's murder! If you don't kill Chazz Princeton now, I'll do it for you! Otherwise, he'll be troublesome in the future!"
R-1 called, "Excuse me, but Senior Princeton is gone."
Kotonoha smirked, "Ah, good! Since he wussed out, now it's your turn to die."
She gasped, as Chazz was sneaking behind her, approaching Tsukasa. Iwata said, "Nope. He's right over there."
Kotonoha gulped, "HUH? HEY! THAT'S NOT FAIR!"
Chazz snuffed at her, "Oh, man. For a yandere, you're not too bright at all."
Kotonoha cried, "What are you-?"
SOCK!
He socked her in the face, as she stumbled down. He said, "Cuff her. I'll deal with Robin Whore, later."
Chazz kneeled down to Tsukasa, and felt her pulse and said, "Good, she's still breathing. I can save her, before it's too-."
SOCK!
She socked Iwata in the crotch, and then swung at Ropponmatsu 1.
SLASH!
She decapitated her, as she hissed, "GET AWAY FROM ME, ASSHOLES!"
Her head fell down, as Iwata shrieked, "NO! ROPPONMATSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
R-1's head beeped, "Good grief, not again… Why does this happen to m-?"
PUNT!
Kotonoha punted off R-1's head, bouncing down the street. She beeped and groaned, "Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow…"
Iwata chased after her head, as her headless body was stumbling around, looking for her head. Kotonoha charged at Chazz and hollered, "YOU COCKY BASTARD! I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU!"
Chazz called out, "I'M NOT GONNA TELL YOU AGAIN! IF YOU'RE GONNA PISS ME OFF, YOU BETTER START RUNNING!"
Kotonoha roared, "GLADLY! LET'S SEE IF YOU HAVE THE GUTS!"
The Hook lunged towards Ojama Star, using her right arm. Ojama Star caught the arm, and was caught in a struggle, about to be pierced.
Chazz thought, "Bitch! I got to admit. She fares solely on that right arm. That way, she'd use the left to attack me wide open. Shit! What now?"
She kicked him in the ribs, and then roared, "LET GO OF MY RIGHT ARM, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
He thought, "It is her right arm!"
She punched at Chazz, using her left arm, and slams him into the door. Kotonoha roared, raising her right arm, "SAY GOODBYE!"
She slashed down, but Chazz avoided the strike, rolling out of harm's way. She called out, "You bastard! Stay right where you are, Princeton! You wouldn't want to leave your friend behind!"
He called out, "Something is definitely wrong with your right arm. It has a power I do not know of."
She giggled, "Indeed… Get over here, bitch! The Hook is a prelude of chaos and bloodshed! Sekai even gets scared by the sight of it! You can tell me, once you're worm food! This is it for you!"
He prepared, as he looked at the sign, "No passing", and then thought, "No Passing? She… when she struck down on me, she removed the Tress in the sign, like it was rubbed out. Her Stand… What is it? Tsukasa, hang in there… I'm going to save you."
He stepped back, as she went forward, "If I were you, I'd think twice about backing up. Or do you care about saving your little friend? Why don't you come closer?"
Chazz barked, "Now I get it. Your Stand! If memory serves me, there was a Stand User named Okuyasu Nijimura, a friend of Josuke Higashikata."
Kotonoha gasped, as he continued, "Your Stand, The Hook, is a knock-off of The Hand! The sign on the gate door, you didn't make it disappear! It cuts out space in midair! That's your Stand's ability, is it? Okuyasu's Stand was able to cut the space in midair, likewise yours!"
Kotonoha smiled, "Bingo, Princeton! But you forget one thing: The Hook is much roomy and flashy than The Hand! The Hook uses its right arm, whether hand, wrist, or forearm, and whatever grabs it disappears! But the void that grabs it, closes and pulls the space, as if it never happened. But no matter where The Hook takes you, inside its void, it is taken to god knows where. In other words, I have no clue on where it goes!"
He sidestepped, as Kotonoha smirked, holding her right arm up, "Even if you'd try, I can still do this…"
She swung her arm around, and Chazz was pulled into front of her. She then punched his face and cackled, "SEE THAT? It's just like teleporting! I just grab some space, and then pull you in!"
He stumbled back, and was pulled in again. She socked him again, and laughed evilly in a yandere laugh. She cackled, "You forgot what you're up against! The Hook is feared by all, even my sister is afraid of it! Try as you might, you cannot run!"
She resumed punching him and pulling him, using The Hook, and called out, "HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! No matter where you hide, you're always in my reach! So, go ahead, punk! Make my day!"
She continued to lambast onto his face, punching him down, and pulling him back in. He was on the ground, as she grinned, "Useless…"
She let out a scary grin, as she said, "Even a piece of dog shit like you was a match for Angelo, huh? Weakling!"
She held up a dozuki, a Japanese backsaw, and said, "Time to die, Chazz Princeton."
He stood up, and walked by the wall, badly hurt. He growled, "You bitch…"
"Guess you haven't figured out how worthless you are." She snickered, as her bloodlust increased, "So, which one of us was the brightest, again?"
She pulled Chazz to her, and held the saw up, "Now, let's carve you open, and see if your Spirit Caller is inside."
He sighed, "Good grief. You, ma'am, are a total loser."
She barked, "What did you say?"
As Chazz smirked at Kotonoha, three clay plant pots were being pulled, as Kotonoha asked, "What's going on here?"
The potted plants flew towards the two, but Chazz ducked, and the pots went towards Kotonoha.
"WHAT THE-?"
WHAM!
SMASH!
BONG!
One pot struck her head, another onto her chest, and one more into her crotch. She stumbled down, dropping the dozuki, and was unconscious. He sighed, "That was a close one. So, Kotonoha Katsura, with a Stand that rivals and equals to Okuyasu Nijimura, your Stand is pretty great, but I'm not one to lie."
She remains out cold, with swirls for eyes, as he groaned, "She's going to go Full-On Yandere, if she wakes up. Maybe I should strangle her, so she wouldn't breathe. Enough time for me to rescue Tsukasa, and take care of her sister."
He kneeled down and said, "Or… since Iwata and Ropponmatsu 1 just bailed on me, thanks to her, I can just use her as hostage, before they come back with reinforcements."
He gasped, as he turned to the gate, seeing a trail of blood, leading to the front door. He gasped, "TSUKASA!"
He snarled, "Oooooh, you got lucky there, Kotonoha!"
He roared, "Now you've gone too far, you bitch! I'LL KILL YOU!"
He ran to the front door, as the woman was kneeling to Tsukasa's body, trying to pull out the arrow in her neck. They stared down, in a dimmed and darkened room, with only sunlight emitting from the cracks of the windows. Sekai said, "Listen here, Princeton… Why did I drag her corpse into my side? This arrow… it's irreplaceable. It's essential to my mission."
She revealed her face, showing her brown hair and devilish smirk, "And losing it is NOT an option."

Meanwhile, in a car, Asahi was viewing the picture of Enyama, holding a bow and arrow. She narrated, "I got a bad feeling about this… The bow and arrow Angelo mentioned… The intel on Enyama that The Speedwagon Foundation found in Egypt… and the fact that the witch is holding the bow and arrow. It really imparts the power of Stands to ordinary people.
According to Angelo, MIO was obviously struck by a bow and arrow, caused by that witch, Enyama Rumin. No doubt about it. This was the weapon that released The World… MIO's Stand… Mr. Nevins' Spirit Caller… This was the cause of all this… After Enyama's death, someone snatched away the bow and arrow, and now, they're here to use it, to create more Stand Users, right here in F City… This happened before, in 1999, and in 2001… all the times, the arrow was the cause of the newly-made Stands, including Josuke Higashikata and Giorno Giovanna… not to mention Jotaro Kujo's late daughter, Jolyne Cujoh…"
She growled, "We have to find it, and destroy it! If there's a Stand User like DIO, or an even worse power like The World… God knows what'll happen next. We can't let anyone else get in the way… A villain fouler than MIO, or a Stand far powerful than The World; I can't let either come to pass."

Sekai and Chazz stared down, as Sekai was pulling the arrow out of Tsukasa's neck. He called out, "Don't you dare pull that arrow out! She'll bleed to death!"
Sekai said, "I could care less. After Kotonoha was a complete idiot, failing me, I'll kill you myself. And I can't let anything happen to this arrow! If an old lady next door happened to see it, or if it snaps like a twig, it would be unfortunate. I'm methodic by nature, so I want to make sure that the arrow is properly taken care of."
She grinned, "That's how everyone does it… including me…"
She pulled the arrow out, and Chazz gasped in horror. He ran towards her, as Sekai shouted, "So, you decided to walk in, just to be too late?"
He roared, as he was running, "FUCK YOU, I'M NOT! I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GET IN! BESIDES, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO KICK YOU ASS AND HEAL TSUKASA, IF I DIDN'T!"
Kotonoha suddenly appeared and called, "HOLD IT! SEKAI! I'm not done with him!"
He stopped, as she continued, "I'm not finished with you!"
Flashes of light appeared, as Chazz sense it. Kotonoha held up her backsaw and laughed in a yandere laugh, but…
"Someone's coming!" Chazz thought, as he sidestepped out of the way.
BLAST!
Kotonoha was blasted by shots to the face, in very small shots. She stumbled down and was out cold, bloodied.
Wait! What just happened?
Find out in the next chapter!
To be continued…
