Chapter 3

Disclaimer (See chapter 1)

Special thanks to Ai-White-Rabbit for the reviews so here's chapter 3. WARNING! Chapters 3-5 will have content that comes from Hirukawa's mind. In the story he had a perversion about his daughter. I wrote in the beginning that I would stick to the story. I write to show things through Shounen Bat's eyes and he discusses the things in people's minds so BEWARE OF THE CONTENT. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED SO DON'T SAY I DID NOT GIVE A WARNING, ITS RATED "M" FOR A REASON. This story is meant to give you the creeps and I plan on making the story's content become more disturbing, this story is not for the squeamish or soft-hearted. Do not continue reading it if you can't handle it!

Shounen Bat has become more devoted to his job and has started to take a direct part in people's lives. His resolve has become much stronger and he has stated to take a sick delight in torturing people. He will only become worse….

He's sitting at the top of the red tower, "They are my new targets…they're so close to each other yet they have no idea what will happen to them…Icchi is the most unfortunate soul I've come across so far. His life is such a mess. He is always the center of attention and I can tell that he's in pain even if he can't. I can't help it if I'm too kind for my own good." He laughs in his head.

"I'm good and no one will stop me, I'll show precious little Icchi that being famous is not all that great. Not all of us are as lucky as that bastard Maromi…we can't all be as famous as that bitch." He scowls at the horizon and tightens the grip on his bat.

"I'll show him…I'm not going to let that asshole Icchi believe he's better than me….He will regret being popular….but I'll reward him by making him me…" He laughs loudly at the horizon as the sun comes up. His laugh is a challenge to the world… "Shounen Bat will never be forgotten."

"Looks like it's time for Icchi to find his fate and grovel before me for his salvation but first I need to encourage some of his peers. I'll be his shadow." He jumps off and races toward Icchi's home and melts into Icchi's shadow as he walks out the door.

"This little bastard thinks that he's the greatest thing on earth but he's wrong. I'm the greatest thing earth in its history. "Now comes the first attack from his 'friends,' I've decided to let the kids at his school help me give Icchi hell until he begs for my help."

"Good Morning!"

"That moron is in for a rude awakening…" He laughs again.

"The girls that used to drool over him now find him repulsive because they think he's a criminal….I wonder who could have put the idea in his head?"

"He's going to love the disgrace he's about to go through….he'll learn to accept until I come to him. I'M THE HERO, I SAVE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CORNERED AND HAVE NOWHERE TO GO…AND I PUT THEM THERE. THEY'LL APPRECIATE ALL THE SUFFERING THEY HAD TO GO THROUGH BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE THEIR SALVATION THAT MUCH SWEETER…yes, I'll give them horror I'll give them pain and suffering." Icchi's arrived at the picture of Ushiyama and has already had to bear the looks on the faces of his peers, "Feel the flames burn and tear away at your heart Icchi, you're getting close to breaking already. I can see the dark thoughts in your mind but the blame is one the wrong person. I did it Icchi but you will need to suffer more to earn the right for my salvation."

Icchi walks into the classroom and he receives more torturing, "Enough of this, he should be able to feel the fame on his own, I should check on Tsukiko." He melts out of the shadow and enters Tsukiko's mind.

"The detectives are here with her. They want to know whether she saw me after I attacked Kawazu. I stopped to say hello but I doubt that bitch would ever admit to it."

"What the fuck are you looking at, Maromi?"

"There's no reason for you to be here. Leave!"

"I've told you before that I don't take orders from anyone. Not even your precious Tsuki-chan." He smirks at Maromi. They both live inside Tsukiko's mind and are able to talk to each other on an even foot there and Tsukiko is too involved with her own problems to notice them at all.

"She's getting worse; she's depending too much on you. Her life will become automated soon if you don't let her go or I could visit her like I wanted to do before and save her."

"YOU WILL STAY AWAY FROM HER OR I'LL MAKE SURE YOU REGRET IT!"

"Maromi you need to calm down, you're strength relies on Tsukiko and I'm sure she's not strong enough to fight me right now."

"I don't need Tsuki-chan's help to take on you. You don't scare me!"

"Whatever," he scoffs, "Maromi, it's been a lovely chat. I hope we can put and end to this politeness soon." He leaves Tsukiko and catches the conversation between her and the detectives on the way out.

"Sagi-san we don't mean to offend you…."

"…but you were involved in both incidents."

Little Slugger, "Those detectives are really staring to get on my nerves I'll have to do something soon. I don't want them to interfere. Ikari's mind is already a mess and it is getting worse but his protégée's is changing…"

"Ohh well, I'll have to deal with them later…I can hear Icchi's heart throb in pain again I'd better check up on him."

Once more he melts into Icchi's shadow and sees his current predicament.

"I see…his unpopularity seems to be helping Ushiyama or at least he thinks so. I know better and have already planned out the next stage of his torment…"

He follows Icchi home and meets Sagi Harumi. He has learned about her from Icchi and a primal part of him has risen. His character originated from Tsukiko, so he has desires for women too along with his violent side. This will be an important part of him in the future. "She's perfect, her secret seems to be okay for now but with my help I can make her much more miserable than she already is. I'll make her my next target. That little whore won't know what hit her."

"..Is your mother aware of this?" Harumi asks Icchi.

"Arrgh...this little vermin is spilling his guts to the bitch…I wonder how he would react if he knew her dirty secret…he might enjoy it…I know I do."

"This is getting on my nerves…he's using his suffering to get closer to the bitch. I'm gone, I'll come back tomorrow…I wouldn't want to miss tomorrow." He melts out and goes into a state of nothingness until the next morning.

"Icchi? Icchi?" the fat ass is calling Icchi. He doesn't know that he's going to help me worsen Icchi's torture.

Icchi starts to yell at Ushiyama.

"Icchi is now berating Ushiyama for making up lies about him but little does he know that it's me. It's a shame I have to keep my identity secret from my targets. I'd really like to get some recognition for my work…I hate Maromi!"

"You're on camera jackass…I hope your good side was captured. Know that it took a long time to find someone who knew everyone's number."

Ushiyama runs and Icchi goes back inside.

"Tch, tch, tch, you shouldn't have been so mean to the fat ass…you'll be haunted by this for a long time"

"Those detectives are snooping again and they think Icchi is a suspect because of what the kids have been saying about him. The little prick wants to capture me and be rewarded for finding me. He even wants me to attack Ushiyama…I can arrange that."

"There's a kid that understands that I save people so I'll encourage him to pay Ushiyama a visit with a front row seat for Icchi too…"

"I'd forgotten that the prick's birthday is today…by the looks of it everyone else remembered because they decided not to show up…again, I wonder why?" He laughs in his mind once again, "don't worry asshole I'm here and that's all you'll need once things get worse."

The next afternoon, "It's almost showtime and Icchi still thinks that Ushiyama is out to get him. That fat ass is desperate to be saved but I would never lay a hand on that worthless piece of garbage…but he would." The sacred warrior comes up to Ushiyama and slugs him hard and knocks him to the ground. Icchi chases him but doesn't catch him.

"What's wrong Icchi? You don't have to be so disappointed. I appreciate you making my job easier by making yourself feel like crap but he's not even the real Shounen Bat. I'm right here behind you."

"Maromi is trying to force Tsukiko to forget what happened years ago but she's finally showing some backbone…I always knew that the bitch had some fight in her if she was able to create me on a moment's thought."

"The detectives are shaken by the attack more that usual...they really think Icchi is me. Those ingrates could never appreciate my work but to demean my character by thinking I'm some glory seeking punk is not right…"

"Oh well but watch out Ikari you'll be a special case for me."

Next morning…"Ohh Icchi you've gone off the deep end overnight good job, your salvation is here at last just step outside and I'll BUST OPEN YOUR SKULL, LITTLE BASTARD!"

"It's finally time, my time, you'll be my second and make me stronger I get more strength from the saved than from the suffering. As soon as I take you out my power will triple and I can move on to your little whore of a tutor Harumi. Her sweet body and mind will belong to me….I WILL BREAK THAT BITCH AND MAKE HER MINE!"

He skates up to Icchi and slugs him with all his strength and Icchi falls to the ground unconscious…I'm better than you and you will be better not forget it…or next time I won't just save you…I'll condemn you for eternity. That goes for the rest of you assholes out there….just make my day and I'll be sure to save you…for good….."
