Twilight Syndrome Murder
It was a beautiful day back at Neo Tokyo City.
Mahiru was preparing a lunch box as she has planned to meet up with her friend Sato who was her best friend since they were in middle school, though she didn't became an Ultimate, the two had remained close and they usually stayed together so that they could chat with each other, today, the Ultimate Photographer wanted to have a good time with her best friend and the two had settled on a picnic.
Once Mahiru has finished packing up her lunch box, bringing some hamburger steaks and a couple of water bottles, the redheaded girl took the lunch box and she went to Neo Tokyo City Park so that she could meet up with her best friend.

She left her apartment on foot as she wasn't really fond of taking a taxi to get to her location, she always wanted to have a walk so that she could enjoy the outskirts of the city while she was walking.
But when she arrived, she noticed that Sato, a girl with wavy dark-green hair, was arguing with a girl with long blonde hair and grayish-olive eyes and who possessed permanent blush marks on both cheeks, Mahiru recognized the girl as Natsumi Kuzuryu, the sister of the Ultimate Yakuza, Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu, and the three had met each other in the Photography Club in their previous school and the Yakuza girl was her former bully at that school but Sato has always come to the rescue in order to protect her though Mahiru wasn't fond of their arguments as a one point, Natsumi stabbed Sato in her left arm with a pocket knife before she left as their argument went off the rails.
"You bitch, you better not be planning anything weird again, ok?" raged the girl to which Natsumi created with a mocking confusion.
"What do you mean by 'something weird'?" mockingly asked Natsumi.
"If you do anything to Mahiru, I'll never let you get away with it!" raged Sato to which the Ultimate Photographer let out a surprised gasp, Natsumi was planning to bully her again? Even if the Photography Club was long gone by now sine the three girls have now graduated from that school.
"Don't strut up to me and start spewing nonsense!" mocked Natsumi as she seemed to be ready to fight with Sato.
"I'm telling you to drop your weird scheme!" raged the young girl.
"Don't get so familiar with me, you plain Jane!" said Natsumi as she prepared herself to fight with Sato, Mahiru couldn't take it anymore, she rushed towards the two girls in order to break their fight.
"Please, stop this!" intervened the Ultimate Photographer to which her appearance caused Sato to be surprised while Natsumi let out a grin as she discovered the newcomer.
"Long time no see Mahiru! What does an Ultimate is doing here? Are you here to mock that pathetic excuse of a human being?" asked Natsumi to which Mahiru sighed as she knows that it is futile to stop the Yakuza to mock them while Sato gritted her teeth as she clenched her fist.
"I see that you haven't changed at all" said the Ultimate Photographer.
"You are the one who didn't change at all since we were at the Photography Club! You're still a shitty little goody two-shoes who secretly look down on everyone" spatted Natsumi as Sato gets between the two of them.
"Are you so desperate for attention that you'd pull down Mahiru to do it? You're the absolute worst!" scolded the young woman "if you weren't recognized as an Ultimate, it means that you have no talent but what you don't still get it is that you need to learn your place".
This time, it caused Natsumi to be angry as she was insulted by someone who didn't have a talent either, she prepared to pull out a punch towards Sato but she eventually leave, giving out a dark scowl at the two, it seems that she lost interest at the two.
"That bitch, who does she think she is?" asked a furious Sato.
"I don't know but I prefer to not discover her intentions, it's reckless to try fighting her Sato, I wouldn't accept the act that you could get hurt by Natsumi" said Mahiru.
"It's doesn't matter Mahiru, it felt good to take her down a peg because she will never have what you got" said Sato to which her comment caused the Ultimate Photographer to be curious "the beauty that you've got with your pictures, soon, the whole world will discover them and they will be mesmerized by your talent".
"T-thank you Sato" said Mahiru while her cheeks turned pink because of the compliments that her friend had gave her, she then brought out her lunch box and she showed it's inside to Sato "anyway, I've brought you hamburger steaks or our picnic, do you like it?"
"I loved it!" said Sato as she was pleased by the meal that the Ultimate Photographer has brought or her, Mahiru let out a small chuckle as she was amused by her friend reaction as they didn't eat anything yet but she was pleased by her happiness.
However, unknown to the Ultimate Photographer, the small argument that she had with Natsumi caused Sato to be thinking of one thing : revenge for Mahiru's sake, now, it was enough, that Yakuza had threatened her friend for the last time, tonight, it will be payback time.

Natsumi had returned to one of her family's estate so that she could chill out after her argument with Sato, that bitch really wanted to piss her off, is she?
She goes into the music room that the estate possessed and she began to sit down so that she could play a piece of music at the piano and tonight, she decided to play a part of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
(BGM: Beethoven Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement)
Ever since she was a child, Natsumi loved to play the piano, it allowed her to ease her sorrow, her sadness and her pain, she played so much at the piano that she has become quite good with it.
Sato's words deeply scarred a bit of her, Natsumi didn't wanted to be left alone in her life, her brother was the Ultimate Yakuza, she, she was just a nobody that might be let alone if it weren't her brother reputation that would have preceded him.
But what if he would leave her alone once his reputation would be too much of a burden or him, what would she become? She didn't want to be left behind.
But unknown to the Ultimate Yakuza's sister, Sato had followed her and she was hiding behind a door that leads to her music room, clenching a baseball bat in her hand, she waited for the moment to strike, once Natsumi would be playing the end of the song, she would hit her from behind with her weapon in order to remove a thorn at Mahiru's side.
It was time.
When Natsumi finally started the end of the 1st movement, Sato began to silently sneak behind her, weapon in hand, when the young girl finished her song, the green-haired girl raised her weapon above her head and she struck it down to Natsumi's head.
(BGM ends)
BAM!
The baseball came crashing down on the Yakuza's head, mortally wounding her as her head collapsed on the piano's notes before she fell down on the floor on her back, her eyes made contact with her killer while she dropped her bat on the floor, after a few seconds, the light on Natsumi's eyes died down.
Natsumi Kuzuryu was dead.
Sato had did it, she has finally ended the source of Mahiru's misfortunes, that bitch was lying down on the floor, her dead soulless eyes watching her, at first, she felt proud of her action but after a few seconds, that pride suddenly turned into fear as she double-checked what she has done.
She didn't just stopped Natsumi, she killed her in cold blood, she would never rise again, she has taken a human life and her hands are tainted by her blood.
Like if a monster was pursuing her, Sato began to sprint away from the estate, shock and grief reading on her face as she couldn't realized what she has done, she ran as fast as she can like if her life would depend on it.
"It was for Mahiru, it was for Mahiru" she repeated under her breath as she tried to rationalize her motive while she kept running away from the estate, there were no other way she thought, she needed to stop Natsumi at all costs.

The next morning.
Fuyuhiko was worried about one thing: last night, he tried to contact his sister but she didn't answer him on the phone so he let a message so that she could all him back.
Yet, she didn't call him back, he wondered what happened to her as she never went to sleep before she said good night to her brother, it was annoying sure but at least, she cared much for him, he wondered if something could have happened to her.
Suddenly, his phone ringed and he decided to answer, maybe it was Natsumi or one of his men who could have found her.
"Yeah?" said Fuyuhiko as he waited for an answer, the other person on the phone told him something that caused the Ultimate Yakuza face to pale about what his correspondent told him "WHAT?"
Not waiting any longer, he hanged up on the phone, grabbed his coat and he personally took his car without waiting for Peko (as either one of his men or Peko would drive one of his cars) so that he could go to the place where his correspondent, one of his men, was waiting: at one of his family's estate.
When he arrived at the estate, he quickly let his car so that he could see what was inside of his estate, though the police was present at the crime scene and two policemen's tried to prevent him into getting access to the estate.
"Sir, you cannot enter in this property, there is a crime that happened there" tried to reason one of the policemen.
"The hell that I can, if what my men had said, I am the victim's brother dipshits" yelled the Ultimate Yakuza as he angrily pushed one of the policemen as he entered through the estate, he ran into the music room and what he discovered inside, shocked him.
(BGM: Despair pollution – Danganronpa)
His sister was lying on her back, blood squirting on the floor through the back of her head while a baseball bat was lying on her feet, it seems that she was hit on the head by the baseball bat as blood could be seen on the weapon.
(BGM ends)
"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?" loudly asked Fuyuhiko as he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"We don't know boss, one o our men discovered the body and one our waitress had called the cops so that they could investigate" explained the henchman who was standing on the room, Fuyuhiko looked at his sister's corpse with an angry expression that was expressing a bit of sadness within it, ever since he was a child, he needed to suppress his tears as it wouldn't work on a Yakuza but here, his sister was dead, lying in a puddle of her blood.
The Ultimate Yakuza rose up and he angrily punched the wall in a frustrated anger to the point that his knuckles were bleeding from the blow, he didn't managed to protect his sister and she was killed by someone who seems to have a bone to pick with his family, he watched again the corpse of his sister before he laid down his head in shame.

"We may feel that our lives are not our own, that death controls and frames our lives. Our birth is nothing but death begun" explained a minister as Natsumi's unreal is taking place at Neo Tokyo City cemetery where Fuyuhiko and Peko are shown attending along with numerous members of the Kuzuryuu clan, all members were seeing wearing black clothes with the Ultimate Yakuza wearing black sunglasses "whether it is with this tragic loss of a young lie or with the sot passing of the elderly in the night, we are all equal in death's eyes".
"Yeah, we will all be, one I manage to find the bastard who killed her" whispered Fuyuhiko to which the Ultimate Swordswoman looked at him with a saddened but stoic face, she, too, had failed to protect Natsumi where she could have saved her from her aggressor.
"If any of you wish to let out a final homage to her, please step forward" invited the minister to which everyone began to move forward, the Ultimate Yakuza and Swordswoman were also doing so in order to pay an homage to Natsumi.
But when Fuyuhiko was about to drop a lower bouquet at her grave, he noticed that the man that was in front of him was someone that he recognized, he was wearing a black suit with three white buttons, a black tie and a white dress shirt inside, he also has a black belt and black loafers, the Ultimate Yakuza recognized the man as Hajime Hinata, the man who was dating his sister a while's back that his sister has kicked away sine he couldn't face Fuyuhiko in a fight (to which it was the tradition of the Kuzuryuu family to test an eventual heir of the clan if they could stand out against one of them).
"You! You are the prick who wanted to date Natsumi! What the fuck are you doing here?" asked the Ultimate Yakuza as his sentence caused the young man to turn around as he noticed Fuyuhiko.
"Well, just like you said while we exclude the harsh words, I dated your sister so I've decided to send one last homage to her" said Hajime as he dropped his bouquet into the grave, letting the Ultimate Yakuza take his place as he dropped his own bouquet.
"I think that she will appreciate it, thanks" said Fuyuhiko as his sentence caused Hajime to be surprised.
"Wait, you are not trying to kick my ass today?" said Hajime as he was worried that the Ultimate Yakuza would have beat him out but he was a bit surprised (because he knew that Natsumi's death weight heavily on him) that he was talking generously to him.
"I don't fucking care about it anymore, I've just lost my sister and I don't have the bone to even give you a bruise" said the Ultimate Yakuza to which Hajime decided to share his feelings with him.
"You're right, I'm sorry, I know that losing Natsumi must have been hard for you, my condolences" said the young man.
"Thanks but I know that Natsumi would not rest until I found the bastard who took her life, once I found him, I will make sure that he will pay dearly for it" vowed Fuyuhiko to which Hajime understood quickly that the Ultimate Yakuza would be hell bent for revenge.
"Fuyuhiko! Revenge is not the answer!" pleaded the young man but Fuyuhiko turned his gaze at Hajime.
"I've have too, compared to what you might think, she should have been the one who should receive the mantle of the Ultimate Yakuza, not me, but look, now she's dead which means that she will never earn that mantle, and someone must pay for this" said Fuyuhiko to which Hajime begins to be worried about the Ultimate Yakuza but the shorter boy approached the young man and he put his hand on his shoulder so that he could reassure him "you're not from the clan so you cannot understand it but if someone threaten my clan or even more my family, I will make the guilty pay".
The Ultimate Yakuza begins to leave the graveyard so that he could reach his black Mercedes car with Peko in tow so that she could drive him back to one of his estates but before they leave, he decided to give a request to his henchwoman.
"Try to listen to what those cops says about Natsumi's killer, if you manage to get the killer's name, spill it out so that I will take care of him for her" ordered Fuyuhiko as the two eventually reaches the Ultimate Yakuza's car as he opened one of the back seats door while Peko goes towards the driver's door.
"Yes, young master!" replied Peko as she always addressed the Ultimate Yakuza by this mantle, the two entered the Mercedes where the Ultimate Swordswoman start up the car and the two drive off the cemetery.

Meanwhile, on the park, Mahiru and Sato were sitting on a bench as they were talking about Natsumi's death as the Ultimate Photographer had heard that Fuyuhiko's little sister was murdered the previous night.
"It is pretty strange though, I don't understand who could have killed her, I know that she could have a lot of enemies but who could have succeed in breaching one of the Kuzuryuu estates?" wondered Mahiru.
"Well, I did heard from a friend who works at Neo Tokyo City police department that there was some kind of serial pervert who had recently escaped from prison, maybe that creep got that bitch because she was a Yakuza" theorize Sato though she was lying to her best friend as she didn't wanted to reveal to the Ultimate Photographer that she has killed Natsumi so she invented in the back of her head, a story where a serial pervert who was terrorizing the city, her fellow friend policemen was also a lie that she has created.
"A serial pervert? My god, I hope that he will not strike again in the time being" said Mahiru as she begins to be scared.
"Well, he won't, my friend asks me to hire some bodyguards that will protect me in case that creep would come back, I've hired seven of them so that I could rest assured" reassured Sato but when she saw the look in the Ultimate Photographer eyes that was showing extreme fear, she decided to comfort her to the best of her abilities "Mahiru, you don't have to be worried, I will be fine, Natsumi died because she was alone but me, I will be ine, these guys will stay at my house 24/7 which means that if this creep would come, he will be stopped, I will be alright".
"It's not only that scares me, I am not judging your words, I believe you but you promise me that you didn't kill Natsumi?" asked the Ultimate Photographer as she always remembered how the two girls were arguing with each other and she feared that Sato could have done the unthinkable but her friend decided to reassure her.
"No, I promise you, I didn't kill her, I swear it!" defended the young girl to which Mahiru decided to believe her.
"I wasn't accusing you, I was just worried, I just hope that everyone will go well for you Sato" said the Ultimate Photographer.
"I will Mahiru, nothing will happen to me" reassured Sato though in the back of her head, she was scared too, scared that karma will eventually get her for killing Natsumi but she was thinking over it: everything that she has done, it was for Mahiru, it was to protect her.

At Fuyuhiko's estate.
The Ultimate Yakuza was sitting down on his knees, looking at the wall of his estate while he was shirtless, though his body didn't show any kind of a tattoo as per the tradition of the Yakuza, he was shown to have a bit of muscles that was better shown when he is topless.
Fuyuhiko was standing in his estate for almost an hour, he wanted to redeem himself, he was unsuccessful in protecting his little sister, the one that was more worthy of the mantle that he was wearing and by letting her die, it was like if he has let down the clan altogether.
While he has sent Peko gathering the information at the police station, he wanted to do the sacred tradition of the Yakuza so that he could atone for his moment of weakness and he wanted to perform it himself as he didn't wanted to let his henchwoman do it herself, she would have shown too much of a guilt to perform the deed.
Taking up a white cloth, he put his hand into it so that he wouldn't stain his tatami with his blood, he then took out a tanto that he has taken before he came to his estate to mediate on his failure, he put the blade on the tip of his pinky finger and after he begin to breath in so that he could gather the courage, he pressed the blade so that it would cut off his pinky.
SQUISH!
Fuyuhiko grunted in pain as his pinky was cut off and the blood dripped to the white cloth, after regaining his senses, he wrapped the severed portion of his finger in the white cloth and he moved himself towards a small box that he has placed on a small alter in the dojo and he placed the white cloth into it, a way to remember his failure of protecting his little sister.
But after he did that move, he heard someone calling him from behind him at the entrance of the estate.
"Young master?" asked Peko to which her sentence caused the Ultimate Yakuza to turn around so that he could face his henchwoman who noticed that Fuyuhiko was missing a part of his pinky finger to which she summarized that he must have performed the Yubimitsume on him in order to atone for his failure in protecting Natsumi.
"Peko? Did you manage to find some information about Natsumi's killer?" asked Fuyuhiko.
"Yes, just like you've asked, I went into the police station to which they told me that they have discovered fingerprints on the handle of the baseball bat that was found on the crime scene" explained Peko.
"So they belong to whom?" asked an impatient Ultimate Yakuza.
"A woman called Sato" said the Ultimate Swordswoman to which the mention of the name caused Fuyuhiko to be curious, he did heard the name before but he couldn't remembered who it was but then, he remembered something that happened to his sister a long time ago.
"Now I remember, Natsumi told me one that a bitch called Sato one bothered her because she was pestering a girl called Mahiru, I guess that this bitch wanted to kill my sister so that she wouldn't be pestering her around, if she did that, she is a dead woman" said the Ultimate Yakuza as the anger begins to course through him "where is that Sato now?"
"I've heard that she is at her home and that the police discovered she has hired seven bodyguards or an unknown reason, the seventh one hasn't still called her so I suspect that he might be busy" thought the Ultimate Swordswoman to which Fuyuhiko decided to use that information to his advantage.
"Then, tell the boys to prepare an identity card so that I could infiltrate in that building and kill that bitch" ordered Fuyuhiko to which Peko begin to leave in order to warn the other members of the clan to create the identity papers but she suddenly stopped so that she could ask something.
"Young master, wouldn't you like me to care of this? I mean, if you get captured or killed, I wouldn't know what to do young master, I am nothing but a tool, if you leave, I'll…" begins to say the Ultimate Swordswoman but the Ultimate Yakuza decide to intervene.
"You are not" replied Fuyuhiko to which his sentence surprised Peko "I appreciate your offer but it is my business, besides, you are not a tool, I've never wanted a tool, I wanted you and nothing but you Peko, I've already lost my sister, I won't lose the last person that I can trust with my life, so please, let me handle this".
The Ultimate Swordswoman was surprised, all her life, the Kuzuryuu family considered Peko nothing but a tool to protect the heir of the clan but Fuyuhiko just said to her that he considered her as a person that he can give his life to her, the young woman let out a smile.
"Thank you young master" replied Peko.
"Get me those papers and then, we'll avenge Natsumi's death" said the Ultimate Yakuza as Peko nodded and she leaves in order to create the identity card that was necessary to enter Sato's home.
"Time to end this!" thought Fuyuhiko in his mind.

A few hours later.
The Ultimate Yakuza's car stopped in front of Sato's house where the two could see a man guarding the door, Peko willingly drives a bit further so that the man could not see Fuyuhiko as he has dressed himself in a black leather trench coat along with a black fedora hat.
"All right Peko, just like we've said, i0 in 15 minutes, I do not come back from this house or you hear the cops coming, you leave this place, don't wait for me" said the Ultimate Yakuza as he hide a black Beretta 92S into his trench coat where he equipped a silencer into it.
"Yes, young master!" replied the Ultimate Swordswoman as Fuyuhiko leave his car, leaving Peko alone in it so that she could take her master if he comes back.
The Ultimate Yakuza walked to the house where he is stopped by a bodyguard, knowing that the man would ask him for his identity card, Fuyuhiko drew his card and showed it to the men who looked at it, Fuyuhiko willingly changed his name and called himself Ryujiro Ueda, the man bought his card and allowed him to enter in the house.
The Ultimate Yakuza entered through the house and he heard an conversation that came through the kitchen, it was a simple house that Sato could have easily bought for herself as he noticed that, aside of the bodyguards, where he saw two of them, a brunette and a blond man playing a game of poker in the dining room, it was a fairly common house that anyone could have lived in there.
After marching through the house, he finally gets to the kitchen where he saw Sato chatting with three bodyguards, they were all armed and ready to move for any sign of anyone who could be a suspect, the four looked at Fuyuhiko as he entered into the kitchen.
"Hello there, sorry I'm late" said the Ultimate Yakuza as he needed to lie so that he could remain in character "as anything happened yet?"
"No, don't worry, everything fine" said a bulky bodyguard.
"Besides, we're ready for anything suspicious that may come around here so whatever that serial pervert will appear, he will meet with all of us" casually said a large blond man with sunglasses to which Fuyuhiko took note, so Sato lies by pretending that a pervert had attacked Natsumi, his sister has met a lot of creeps and they all usually finish up in the hospital, he didn't buy that tale but he kept it to himself.
"Good" replied the Ultimate Yakuza as he approached Sato "and you, how do you feel about all of this?"
"I'm fine though I admitted that I am scared" Sato said.
"You're scared?" asked Fuyuhiko to which the young girl nodded "scared that he might attack you, right?"
"Yes, you know how these creeps are, they usually attack us because they see us as nothing but toys that they can abuse with, if he gets his hands around me, I'll…I'll think that he may hurt me more that I could imagine" explained Sato.
"Like dying by his hands?" asked the Ultimate Yakuza to which Sato nodded.
But now, revenge was now at an inch of his hands, the bitch who killed his sister was right before him, it was time.
"You don't recognize me do you?" begin to darkly asked Fuyuhiko to which Sato and the bodyguards begins to be confused by his question "no, of course not, we've never met each other but you know about Natsumi Kuzuryu, the first victim of that so-called pervert, correct?"
Sato begin to he scared as she looked into the Ultimate Yakuza's eyes, it was him, the leader of Natsumi's yakuza gang, her brother!
"I swore at my sister's grave that I will find the one who killed her" said Fuyuhiko as he was expecting the young girl to make either a run for it or that she will try to attack him.
And that was she was doing, she took a knife and was about to strike down the Ultimate Yakuza with it but the blond boy took Sato by the head and knock her down on the table, the bodyguard drew their guns so that they will stop the Ultimate Yakuza but Fuyuhiko drew his Beretta faster than them and he shoots at all of them point blank into varying regions : the first one is shot in the heart, the second one received a bullet in the head and the third one received a bullet that passed through his throat, causing him to fall on the ground, bleeding to death.
However, when he felled on the ground, he knocked a chair away, alerting the two bodyguards who were on the dining room to quickly get up from their seats and they goes straight ahead towards the kitchen to which they saw the horrifying spectacle in front of them, with five bodies on the ground, their colleagues dead and Sato twitching as she was alive but in a state of shock.
"Call an ambulance!" asked the brunette bodyguard but before his colleague could call them, Fuyuhiko, who was lying on the ground, pretending that he was killed, rose his handgun at them and shot at the blond who didn't have time to react as the bullet grazed into his chest, killing him instantly, the brunette attempted to draw his gun but the Ultimate Yakuza shoot at his feet, causing him to fall on the ground, the blond boy added two more shots that passed through his ribcage, ending his life.
The last bodyguard, who has heard his friend calling on the ground, entered the house and he raced towards the kitchen in order to stop the madman but Fuyuhiko, who quickly rose from his position so that he could hide himself into the corner of the door, sprung from his hideout place and he shoot at the back of the bodyguard, killing him as he falls on the ground, joining his companions in death.
After he contemplate what he has done as he checked if any of the bodyguards were still alive, he decided to get closer to Sato as she beginning to regain her senses, he took her by her right leg causing her to scream in horror as she tried to find something that she could hang on to it but she couldn't resist to the Ultimate Yakuza's stronger grasp as he dragged her towards the dining room to which he lets her go and put her in front of a wall.
As the young girl cowered in fear as she didn't know what Fuyuhiko had in store for her, the Ultimate Yakuza noticed that a baseball bat was standing on a shelf of her dining room, she seems to like having that weapon since she had used one to kill Natsumi and she had another one that she kept at her home.
"Looks like payback a bitch, don't you think?" said the Ultimate Yakuza as he took the baseball bat out of its compartment and he started to approach Sato who begins to cry in ear.
"P-please, I was doing it for Mahiru, Natsumi was…" begins to say Sato but Fuyuhiko slapped the young girl so that she could stay silent.
"SHUT UP! Don't you dare talk about my sister!" ordered Fuyuhiko as Sato weepily nodded as she was crying "she's dead because of you, YOU HEAR ME? She died because of a petty reason, attacking her was like attacking the clan".
"I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry" tearfully said Sato as tears continued to flow on her eyes "please, forgive me".
"Forgive you?" a dumbfounded Ultimate Yakuza asked to which the young girl nodded, hoping that he will spare her life but her reaction caused Fuyuhiko to become more and more angry as he tightened the grip on the baseball bat, ready to make his move "I will, never, FORGIVE YOU!"
And with it, he let out a powerful strike on Sato's head which caused blood to spread out of her head while her looks turned on the ground instantly, her eyes immediately lost their light the moment the Ultimate Yakuza struck her on the head with the bat whose top was now covered in blood.
His revenge was complete.
His sister's killer has been killed.
Dropping the baseball bat on the ground, he took a cloth out of his pockets as he leaned at the handle in order to remove his fingerprints on the baseball bat, he didn't wanted to face the police for charged murder, he didn't needed that, now, all that remained was to get the hell out of this place.
After he finished cleaning the evidence of his passage, he left the dining room and he exited through the entrance, much to his expectation, his henchwoman waited or him at the entrance as she wanted to ensure that Fuyuhiko was all right.
(BGM: Scott's Shelby main theme – Heavy Rain)
"It is done, now, let's get out of here before the cops shows up here" ordered Fuyuhiko as the two went into the car as Peko started the engine, the two left the crime scene, leaving the once peaceful apartment into a horrifying scene.
The Ultimate Yakuza's car continued its way towards the city when rain started to fall on Neo Tokyo City, the Ultimate Swordswoman was ready to take Fuyuhiko back to his estate but he decided to ask a request to Peko.
"Peko, before we head to the estate, take me to the cemetery, I need to give Natsumi a last homage" said the Ultimate Yakuza to which his henchwoman nodded and she drive him to Neo Tokyo City cemetery.
After a few more minutes, the car finally arrived at the cemetery where Fuyuhiko decides to leave the car so that he could watch his sister's grave.
"Stay here, I won't be long" said the Ultimate Yakuza as he let his car, causing him to walk under the rain as he marched towards his sister's grave, his clothing getting more and more wet while he walked in the graveyard.
Eventually, he reached his sister's grave as he looked solemnly at the pictures that were representing her, he took off his fedora hat and he bowed in respect at his sister's grave.
"Natsumi, you can rest peacefully now, I have avenged your death, I've made sure that this bitch received what she deserved" said Fuyuhiko as he let tears flow on his eyes, when he was younger, after an accident that left him alone with Peko, he swore that, after he cried in Peko's embrace, that he will no longer cry so that he could represent the Yakuza but here, it was different, his sister was dead and with the exception of his henchwoman, he was now all alone, in a crappy world where only death and blood remained on the earth, he never felt himself that sad, his last family has been taken away from him.
Now, all that remains for him to do is to live everyday in Natsumi's name, he will honor the Kuzuryuu family in her name, he shall made her proud in the afterlife.

The next morning at Dynamite Games club.
Chiaki, Ibuki and Hiyoko were about to play video games together though the Ultimate Traditional Dancer noticed that Mahiru was strangely absent, she probably thought that she went to meet up with Sato so she was wasn't worried or one bit and so, she bought numerous pile of food so that she could give it to the Ultimate Photographer.
But suddenly, as Ibuki was about to play Guitar Hero, everyone stared at the entrance causing the three girls to do the same and they noticed Mahiru standing there, her feet shaking and her expression showing an strong amount of sadness that caused her friends to be worried.
"Mahiru?" asked the Ultimate Gamer.
"H-hey, Sato, she's…she's dead, someone broke into her home and killed everyone in there, even Sato, she said that she was worried that some kind of pervert would-would kill her, the police had-had identified her" said the Ultimate Photographer while she broke into tears as she couldn't believed that her best friend was gone, Hiyoko, noticing her friend distress ran to her and allowed her to cry into her chest.
"I'm so sorry Mahiru-Chan" said the Ultimate Traditional Dancer as she let out a silent tear stroll down her face as she was saddened by her friend's misery while she continue crying into her chest.
Everyone looked down at the two as they were feeling sorry for the photographer.
And done, that filler was difficult because of the fact that there was no duel to write and I have to use the source material so that I could put the Twilight Syndrome Murder case into a written fashion.
The last filler would be the next chapter where you will see a character that will recruit Hajime into a…special kind of dueling.
