after the rain
Kiwi tells Josuke and the others a story about her and Kyoko's heartbreaking past. meanwhile, Yamada plans out Kyoko's first assignment.
"before all of this, Kyoko was telling me that she feels guilty for not telling you about her past." Kiwi said
"what happened?" Koichi asked
"it all goes back to 8 years ago..in East Morioh..up until that day we were still children..when Kyoko was 6 and I was 7, we lived with our dad, well it was Kyoko's dad but i still called him that because he raised the both of us. he use to work for this oil company while we were attending a small elementary school."
"he was a hard working man. we didn't have much back then but we did have a roof over our heads, clothes on our back and food in our stomachs every single day and night. we were at our happiest around that time until one day, the Tenshi crew came to our town as everyone was in deep shock. Our dad was telling us to hide somewhere. the leader was Yamada." Kiwi explained
"Yamada? who's that?" Okuyasu questioned
"he was a dark cold-hearted greedy man that only cared about himself and money. he was the ring leader of the Tenshi crew. Yamada declares that him and his crew were taking over and want us to pay for our freedom every month and thoses who refused would be killed right on the spot."
"our dad didn't have enough for himself luckly, he only had enough for us. so he spoke up and told Yamada that the money is for us instead for him. that's where Yamada took action and killed our father in front of everyone. two young girls had to tearfully watch their father drop dead to the ground like that." Kiwi said as she starts to cry.
Koichi placed his hand on her shoulder then rubs it. Rohan walks over to Kiwi then hugs her tightly.
"i'm sorry Kiwi." Koichi said softly
"it was hard for the both of you." Rohan said while still holding Kiwi
"what else happened?" Josuke asked
Kiwi starts to sniffle as she wiped away her tears with a tissue, "when we got older, Kyoko told me that she wants to save our town. the next day, she personally went over to Yamada's condo and demand that he gives everybody their freedom back. Yamada agrees to do that in an exchange that she works for him and him only. so she agreed to do it and gave him the money that was owed."
"Kyoko was also telling me that he wants her freedom instead of the money. i told her not to worry about it because he was incarcerated at the time after what happened in East Morioh years ago and doubt that he's looking for you." Kiwi said
she then looks down at the floor while tears shed from her eyes.
"i'm sorry i didn't tell you guys this before. Kyoko was afraid to tell you Josuke because she didn't know what you were gonna think of her afterwards."
"it's okay Kiwi. it's not your fault." Koichi said
"i'm glad you told us." Rohan said
"man, i hope Kyoko is okay wherever she is. hope we can find her." Okuyasu said
"we're gonna find her and along this Blueno guy. (looks at Kiwi) Kiwi, have you seen this Yamada guy recently?" Josuke asked
"no, i haven't. the last time i saw him was years ago when him and his crew invaded our town then Kyoko started working for him to save us." Kiwi said
"i see." Josuke said
"so what do we do now Josuke?" Okuyasu asked
"we're just gonna have to go back to Blueno's apartment building tomorrow to see if he's there this time. now that we've got more evidence, there's no way that he can twist his story around once we confront him about Kyoko along with these pictures." Josuke said
"i'm getting really worried Josuke. we've been searching for hours for Kyoko and still no sign of Blueno." Koichi said nervously with a sweat drop on his face
"don't worry Koichi, we're gonna get to the bottom of this tomorrow once we go back there. let's sleep on it for now." Josuke said
at Yamada's penthouse
later that same evening, in Yamada's office, the twins were playing a racing game on the Playstation console while Yamada is at his desk currently looking at the floor plan inside the Platinum Deluxe Plan.
Kyoko walks in the office wearing a black skintight leather dress that outlines her curvy body with a thin pink dress underneath and black thigh-high boots to match.
the twins paused their game as they watched Kyoko coming in with blushes on their faces.
"damn Kyoko, you look hella sexy in that dress." Franky said
"Josuke is so lucky. he gets all the cute girls." Francis said
Kyoko turns around and faces the twins, "can one of you bring me a bottle of water? i'm so thirsty."
she smirks then winks at them. the twins eye's turned into hearts as they both started drooling.
"i'll go bring you some water." Francis said
"no. i'll bring you some." Franky said
"what the hell do you think you're doing? she asked me!" Francis shouts
"no she didn't. she asked me, dumbass!" Franky shouts
the twins started arguing with each other. Yamada's thinking was interrupted by the twins's argument.
"DAMMIT! Franky and Francis! both of you shut up and clear the damn room! i need to speak with Kitten alone!" Yamada yells
the twins quickly rushed out the door. Yamada then looks at Kyoko with miraculous smile while looking at her outfit.
"the twins are right about one thing, you do look good in that dress. you have a beautiful body."
"anyway, let's get down to business, Kitten. here on my desk is the Platinum Deluxe plan. it gives us the rundown on our operation to achieve our goal. although naturally, this isn't just a regular operation here. tonight is what's important, understand Kitten? we'll infiltrate the residency. if it becomes a worst-case scenario, you're free to eliminate all of the evidence."
"one of them obtained an important document that we need to recover immediately and i just happen know who that person is. no matter much he denies having, GOV will take action tonight. this is no ordinary mission, this is a mission of success." Yamada explained as he let out an evil chuckles
at West Morioh beach inn
the next morning, Josuke and friends are sitting in the living room figuring out their next plan to find and confront Blueno.
"so we're gonna go back to the apartment building to see if this Blueno weirdo is there?" Okuyasu asked
"yeah, that's our only option for now until we actually get more info on why he took Kyoko and also what he did with her." Josuke said
"poor Kyoko. i hope we can find her." Koichi said with a frown on his face
"i know, i'm getting really worried Josuke." Kiwi said
"Josuke, what did you mean by this weirdo taking Kyoko somewhere where we can't find her?" Okuyasu questioned
"meaning that he probably took her some place isolated that she wouldn't be able to use her powers nor call for help. wherever she is, this bastard is doing a good job of keeping her quiet. she's nowhere to be seen in town. hopefully, he'll be home this time once we get there. let's head out." Josuke explained
the group nodded their heads in agreement as they began to walk out of the inn. Koichi stops them.
"wait! you guys, there's only one problem." Koichi said
"what's wrong Koichi?" Kiwi asked
"how are we gonna get to the apartment building without being seen by those fans?" Koichi asked
"damn, you're right. i completely forgot about that." Josuke palm slapped his face
"relax Koichi. it was only in the apartment building. it's not like the whole town knows about Josuke being the Sanwakai Brawl king." Okuyasu said
outside of Blueno's apartment building
moments later, a large group of fans are standing outside of the building with signs and posters of Josuke's face on it and is currently chanting his name.
"we want Josuke!"
"we want Josuke!"
"we want Josuke!"
a man with a megaphone stands on top of a car, "who do we want?"
"Josuke!" the crowd cheers
"when do we want him?" the man shouts
"now!" the crowd cheers
the crowd continued chanting. the group are hiding in the bushes near by watching them.
"o…kay then. i was wrong." Okuyasu said
"how are we gonna get to the apartment building now?" Kiwi asked
Josuke thinks for a minute. Rohan spots a local thrift shop nearby, then gets an idea.
"hey, i have an idea." Rohan said as he huddled up the group.
at Lovely's thrift shop
minutes later, Jotaro and Okuyasu arrived at the thrift shop. while Josuke and the others are still hiding in the bushes.
"so what's the plan again?" Okuyasu asked
"you're going to be the decoy to keep those fans busy while we're inside the building getting more information. Rohan wants you to buy an outfit that's similar to Josuke's. here goes Rohan's credit card. he said only spend no more than 100 on it. i'll be right outside if you need me." Jotaro explained as he gave Okuyasu the card
"roger." Okuyasu agrees as he walked inside the store
at the group's hideout
Josuke and the others watched Okuyasu walked inside.
"are you sure this is gonna work Rohan?" Koichi asked
"most definitely. although, he is perfect to be the decoy and will get rid of those fans quicker than anyone else. i just hope he doesn't go over the spending limit. i worked my ass off for that money." Rohan said
"i feel you on that one, Rohan. last year, i was charged around 1,000 for buying Shizuka clothes and formula for her." Josuke said.
inside Lovely's thrift shop
a man behind the counter greeted Okuyasu in.
"hello there, welcome to Lovely's thrifts! i'm Lovely. how may i help you today?" Lovely greeted
"sup. i'm looking for an outfit." Okuyasu said
"are you looking for something hip and sheik?" Lovely asked
"pretty much yeah." Okuyasu said
"ooh, well, you're in luck. we have our latest fashion wear that's on the wall of trends. you're more than welcome to try them on." Lovely explains
"wait! i can try on anything in this store?" Okuyasu asked
"of course. that's the whole point of thrift shopping. trying on different outfits and exploring your creativity in fashion! so what do you say?" Lovely said
Okuyasu thinks for a second, "i guess i can try on a few outfits."
(Le Freak by Chic plays)
later, Okuyasu dances out wearing a glittering tuxedo. now, he's modeling in a white jumpsuit outfit. he then moonwalks in overalls with checkered suspenders. spinning around in a swivel chair, he models straight legged pants with an oversized fur coat with sunglasses. then strikes a pose in a flower power outfit.
at the group's hideout
meanwhile, Josuke and the others are still hiding behind the bushes waiting for Jotaro and Okuyasu to come back.
"what the hell is taking so damn long?" Josuke questions
"i told that idiot to buy an outfit not the whole damn store!" Rohan said
Kiwi pulls out her phone, "i'm gonna call Jotaro."
Jotaro's phone starts ringing. he answers it, "hello?"
"Jotaro, what's going on? is Okuyasu almost done?" Kiwi asked
"i have no idea. i've been waiting for him to come outside. i don't know what he's doing in there, i'll go check. we'll be back shortly." Jotaro said as he hangs up the phone.
inside Lovely's thrift shop
inside, Okuyasu has a stack of clothes on top of the check out counter.
"is it cool if i put some of this on layaway?" Okuyasu asked
"oof! unfortunately, no. you can't put sale items on layaway but you can always charge it." Lovely said
"but my spending limit is only 100. can you at least hook me up with that deal?" Okuyasu asked
"hmm, okay. well, how about this there's a 75% off sale going on now and if you want you can—" Lovely's words were cut off
"75% off! now! why didn't you say so? i'm in!" Okuyasu said as he pulled out Rohan's credit card
Lovely takes it from him. Jotaro walks inside.
"Okuyasu, is everything okay in here? the others are waiting for us." Jotaro said
"everything is cool Jotaro. let's hit the road." Okuyasu said while exiting the store.
minutes later, Jotaro and Okuyasu walked back to the group's hiding spot.
"geez, what the hell were you guys doing?" Josuke asked
"yeah, you had us waiting for awhile." Kiwi added in
"sorry, you guys. they were having a big sale in there." Okuyasu said
"all right then. now that we got the decoy disguise, let's spring into action and get to the building." Josuke said
"yeah." the group cheered
looks like Josuke and friends are on their way to Blueno's apartment building once again and Yamada is plotting out a plan for Kyoko. what is this document that Yamada trying to recover and who is he trying to target?
