Kira knew he didn't have much longer now that his arm was blown clean off the shoulder socket, but if he went to a hospital to get a transplant they would look through his records and his quiet life would be all over the news. An unlicensed surgeon might help, but who's to say they won't spill who he is to the police either?

"I didn't spend this many years on the down low just to be exposed like this to a group of high schoolers." He hissed, he would need to completely transform into another person in order to go back to living a quiet life. "Hm, wasn't there a sort of makeup place that could completely alter one's appearance?"

Cinderella was just around the corner; he could make it as long as he didn't draw any attention to himself.

Aya was at the counter, about to be paid for her service, when the bell chimed from above the door. "Please sit, I'll assist you once I am ready-" She started before seeing who was at the door. She identified him immediately from his blond hair and purple suit. "Oh no, it's him... The Morioh serial killer, Kira..." She thought.

"You... You can change people's appearances correct...?" Kira asked before summoning his stand. "If you don't want your little shop, or yourself, to explode, you will change my appearance, and if possible, give me a new arm..." He threatened. "Explode-"

Before she could ask, Killer Queen used the customer she just treated as an example. As they made contact with the doorknob, they blew up, leaving only an arm and their head. "Now then, you see what I mean. Do you take this threat seriously now?"

She just nodded, nervously using her stand to replace Kira's arm and head with the customer she had. "Very nicely done, although I will need a new suit to truly blend in. And to make sure you don't tell anyone."

Killer Queen sent a bomb right at Aya's stand, watching as it burst into pieces. As soon as her stand was destroyed, Aya collapsed, debris and dried blood all over her. She gasped out, her vision fading as Kira escaped in a plain white suit. "Gotta... Warn... Them.." She mumbled, using the last of her strength to crawl forward, tossing a lipstick case at the front of her shop.

Luckily someone was passing by, Mikitaka was wandering around the streets of Morioh when he noticed the bleeding beautician at the door. "Oh? What happened in here?" He thought, rushing inside to help Aya up.

She laid unconscious in his arms, the explosion causing her organs to become heavily damaged. "Oh no, this human woman is in critical condition, I have to take her to the hospital before she dies." Mikitaka stated to himself as he carried her to the hospital.

On his way, he was noticed by Josuke, mainly for the fact he was dragging an unconscious woman. "What the hell?" He thought before going over. "Mikitaka, did you-"

"Josuke there is no time for earthly chit chat, this woman has possibly less than 40 earth minutes to live." Mikitaka said, still dragging her. "Right, uh, I'll help you carry her to a hospital, we'll get there faster if you aren't dragging her across the ground."

And so, the two teens brought Aya to the hospital and Mikitaka explained what happened, with the doctors taking the woman in for examination and treatment.

"I only took a quick look inside, but it was like the aftermath of a massive storm. Little casings filled with a sort of waxy substance and bits of metal were scattered everywhere, it was most shocking."

Josuke's blood ran cold, he knew exactly who was responsible. "Did you see anyone go inside? Was there anything else noteworthy you saw on the floor?"

The alien nodded. "Only a single purple suit, but I didn't see anyone exit, they must have left before I arrived." He replied.

"Crap... So much for Kira bleeding out slowly and painfully while Jotaro recovers. Now he's probably completely recovered and looking to get revenge. There's gotta be a way to track him down! Maybe Gramps has some old files or something on murder cases that we can use against him?" Josuke thought. "Uh, Mikitaka, we're in seriously trouble here. You should stick around with us until we find the guy who did this to Aya."

"Oh? Alright, if you see it necessary, than I shall come and assist you." Mikitaka stated as the two returned to the Nijimura household where Jotaro was recovering. "Huh? Oh! Mikitaka, what are you doing here?" Okuyasu asked. "I was informed by Josuke that I should come here."

Okuyasu looked at Josuke. "Isn't this a stand user issue? Why is he involved?" He thought to him telepathically.

"Oku I know this may seem crazy but He saw something, I was going to tell the entire group since everyone is here." Josuke thought back before clearing his throat. "I have bad news about the Kira situation. He attacked Aya."

"Aya? You mean the beautician?"

"Yeah, that asshole put her in a coma. Not to mention, I'm assuming he changed his identity because we know what he looks like. Mikitaka noticed that he left his suit at the place so it's even more likely of that being so."

Jotaro groggily awoke as he noticed the alien in the house. "Who's this?"

"It's hard to believe, but Mikitaka's an alien! I mean, I think so anyways, he couldn't see my stand but he has shapeshifting powers. Maybe he could help us out if we ever run into Kira? He's vanished again." Josuke replied. "Should we get the Speedwagon Foundation involved? They helped us out a lot back when you guys were going to kill DIO."

"None of the members are stand users, it's too dangerous for them to track down Kira. If he was able to change his appearance a first time, he could replace one of the members the next time he gets exposed and completely destroy the group from the inside." The adult replied. "If Aya was still awake she'd be able to tell us what he looks like now, but that's out of the question. He'll be more careful now than ever to not leave a trail."

Josuke slumped over onto the couch, he begun to feel all their work to take out Kira was now for nothing. He was gone again and probably fled the city by now. "Hey uh, Jojo? We're going to get him, there's no way we're gonna just let him get away after we nearly got him!" Okuyasu declared. "We're all gonna get him, hey. What about that picture ghost?"

"Huh?"

"He's still stuck in Kira's old house, we'll interrogate him!"

"Oh yeah! I kinda forgot about him. Well, it's worth a shot, though I'm not sure what exactly he would know about his new identity since he's been taped up." Josuke said as he got up. "Yeah! Let's go!" Okuyasu said as he and Josuke approached the door. "Wait, you're going to need back up, even if it's just for interrogation."

"Yeah, but Jotaro is still recovering, I mean Crazy Diamond attached the leg, but its still going to take a while for blood to start flowing through it-"

"Did you forget? There are other stand users here." Kakyoin stated. "Oh..." Josuke said. He knew but he just thought star platinum was like, the most useful stand, but he didn't want to directly say that, y'know when the others were in earshot.

"I guess he forgot. Anyway, Mikitaka can you turn into a gun? y'know just in case thinks get ugly?" Okuyasu asked. "Unfortunately, no, for I cannot turn into complex objects, but I can however turn into a baseball bat, which I have seen to be a useful weapon. At least in the earth media I have consumed with my human caregiver" The Alien stated.

"Alright, a bat will do." The two teens set off, meanwhile Jotaro continued to lay back on the couch. "Gah.. If anything happened to those kids, I'll never forgive myself." He mumbled.

Kakyoin sat beside his boyfriend, patting his head gently. "You're just as protective as Josuke as ever, he's old enough to take care of himself now."

"I know I know I.. I just can't help but still worry about them. I got to bond a lot when Josuke was still a baby, if it wasn't for him, I never would have been able to open up and really tell you how I felt about you.. I.. I don't think you'd be here if it wasn't for him either." Jotaro admitted.

"Oh?"

"When you were attacked by Geb, I started having nightmares that it made you a sitting duck, with Vanilla Ice punching a hole right through your torso.. It's weirdly specific but it was horrifying. Crazy Diamond healed your eyes, gah.. I hate that I can't do anything." He growled, he tried to sit up but was stopped by Kakyoin.

"You still need to rest. Not just your physical health, but your mental health as well."

Jotaro looked at Kakyoin in the eyes before sighing. "I suppose you're right, Nori..." He stated, placing his hand on Kakyoin's. The red head blushed a little from his first name being used, since even though they were dating, they rarely used each other's first names.

As they were together, the three teens, Mikitaka included, were approaching the old home of Kira. "Are we allowed to enter?" Mikitaka asked, unaware of the fact the two teens with him already broke in.

"I mean, consider it like this, what we're doing is a whole lot more legal than what Kira's doing." Okuyasu stated as they entered the home. Everything looked as it were when they left last time. As they stepped foot inside, Mikitaka noticed the jars. "Oh?"

"Hey, don't worry about those. Kira fills jars with his fingernails. It's honestly really gross-"

"If he has jars filled with nail clipping, he will have advanced nail growth." Mikitaka stated. "Huh?"

"A human nail grows 3.47 millimeters per month, or 1 inch a year. That wouldn't be enough to fill a jar that size." The alien commented. "Whoa, I didn't even consider that... Wait how do you know that?"

"I thought learning human anatomy would help me be more immersed in your culture." He explained. This was useful to them, but they still needed to get the guy in the photo that they pinned to the wall.

Kira's father screamed and jolted around on the wall, still pinned there. "Heh, guess he's too weak to do anything." Josuke smirked, unpinning the photo. "Don't get any funny ideas now, you're gonna stay taped up there."

"Grah! How dare you try and kill my darling little boy!!"

"Uh, darling? You do realize you're talking about a literal serial killer, right? How could you support him doing all that?" Okuyasu snapped. "He nearly killed me!"

The photo just hissed. "He just wants a quiet life, and I always respected that long after my death. He may have some quirks to him, but I refuse to let any harm come to him. He doesn't know it, but I had a stand that activated when I died."

So much for trying to convince Kira's father to talk some sense into his son. "So the bitchless bitch wants to be a walking slaughterhouse without getting caught? You're all a bunch of sick freaks." The grey-haired teen grunted. "What's gonna happen when the police catch him?"

"They never will! He will be living the perfect life, even if he refuses to leave Morioh-" The old man quickly stopped, he won't expose his son already. "Gah! Well, they'll never recognize him, if he becomes nervous, he'll bite his nails until they bleed out." He thought.

"What's that? So, at least we know he'll be within the town limits, but now all we have to do is find him. And with what Mikitaka pointed out, Kira has rapid nail growth, and, with the identity he stole, means he'll probably have to change his nail habits." Josuke theorized.

"Yeah, but how are we going to see if his nails are growing faster than everyone else? It's not like we can stare at everyone's hands."

"Hmm... Shit I don't know. Maybe we can think of something. If all fails we have two stand users that can reveal deep stuff, though I don't think Rohan would be willing to help with this. But Kimiko might be able to help. Though she's our last resort." Josuke stated as they pinned Kira's dad back up, so he doesn't try anything.

Now with that information out, all they needed to do is search around for anyone suspicious looking biting his nails. "Hey, that Paura guy makes clones which are just a person's worst traits, right? Well, I bet Kira's would be his constant avoidance of the public, that would immediately expose him!" Okuyasu figured.

"Well if we're sure we've found him, as long as he doesn't find us first..." Josuke for the first time was nervous, Crazy Diamond doesn't heal himself, so if he's out of it, everyone else will be sitting ducks. He didn't know what he could do if Okuyasu got badly damaged, or worse. "Uh, I better try and come up with an excuse for Mom. I can't get her involved."

Mikitaka shifted back into his usual form, patting his shoulder. "I am unsure what is going on, but I will do everything I can to find this Kira person, I can change into a paper plane and get a bird's eye view." He offered.

Josuke looked at the alien. "Thanks, but I don't know what good that would bring since we don't even know what we're looking for. other than nail growth."

"Well, if I see anything suspicious I will report my findings." Mikitaka stated before becoming a paper airplane and flying off. With that, the two went back to their base.

As they were learning about minor details, Kira was learning about the identity of the man he stole. "Kosaku Kawajiri, from the looks of it, he's a married man with a elementary school aged child... This puts a rut in my plans, but if it means I'll be out of sight, I'll put up with it." Kira thought as he approached the home.

Kosaku's wife, Shinobu, was by herself as she slowly ate at her lunch. Kira assumed that the man he took wasn't exactly a family person towards his wife, the child was nowhere in sight, so he wouldn't have to worry about them for now. "Oh, you're back already? How was this Cinderella place?"

"Huh? Oh yes, it was quite the experience. I feel like a new man already." Kira immediately replied. "Are you eating just plain noodles in chicken broth? That seems rather bland."

"Well it's just something I scrounged up together from the fridge, what did you expect me to be eating?"

Kira stood up, but dared not to sweat in panic, he wasn't going to immediately expose himself right now, not when he finally obtained a new body. "Well, I just thought I could make you a little something? I picked up a little something while I was out."

"He did? I bet he just got a cup noodle which he planned to eat himself. I wouldn't put it past him." Shinobu thought before hearing the sound of the stove turn on. Kira was cooking her a simple meal, nothing too elaborate.

"This is odd for Kosaku, usually he'd just blow me and my needs off. Maybe that appointment gave him some therapy to make him a better husband." She thought as she watched the man she thought was her husband cook from a far. Once it was ready he placed it on the table. "Alright, it's ready. I hope you enjoy it." He spoke.

Sitting at the table, she examined it. It was a simple egg rice, yet the presentation was wonderful. "He cooked this...? Just for me? I hate to say it, but I think I'm falling in love with him again." She thought before eating a few spoonfuls.

"I see you like it, it's not much but I figured it would be more flavorful than just noodles in broth. I added in a little black pepper, it brings out the taste of the egg. I thought it would be a good change." Kira replied. "You go ahead and finish it, I'm not hungry personally."

Shinobu didn't respond, she was too enthralled by her dish to do so. It was the most delicious dish she ever ate; it wasn't much but considering all she ever ate before were microwaved meals or at restaurants occasionally, it was a five-star meal. "Oh... Thank you Kosaku."

"It's nothing, I just wanted to be nice." He replied, going to do the dishes.

"And now he's doing the dishes for me too? Oh, he's definitely changed for the better. Won't our son be surprised to see this, Kosaku is finally stepping up."

A while later, once the school day was over, the son returned. That son being Hayato. "Oh, welcome home Hayato." Shinobu stated, her mood being a lot better than before because of how she was treated earlier. He just stared at her for a bit before going to his room.

"Geez, what's with him? He doesn't speak to me... I know he's capable, but he's just not wanting to..." She sighed. "Oh well, I won't let him spoil my mood."

Meanwhile, Hayato crossed paths with Kira. "Oh, Hayato, Welcome back from school." He stated, assuming that's how a father would great his child. But he was ignored. Mainly since Hayato could tell something was up.

"This guy isn't my dad. I can tell, he has a different aura to him... He seems more cold emotionally, not to mention dad never greeted me before now." He thought before going to his room. Despite being in elementary school, he had a servalince system he some how installed, mainly because it was one of his main interests, the other being robots. Anyway, he watched the video of the daytime, seeing that this man impersonating his father had fooled his mother.

"This is really odd, he cooked...? Last time he cooked was allegedly before I was born." He thought, taking notes.

He wondered what could have caused him to end up like this, or who this imposter could be. His mother never understood his fixation with mechanics, but she figured he would grow out of it once he got older. Hayato didn't have enough proof to go to the police about Kira, but he was certain that very soon a slip up will be caught on film. "Whatever he did to my real dad, it must have been brutal." He thought.

Kira however didn't think much about the strange boy, he figured it was just the boy's rebel phase. "Well, I think I will turn in."

"Already? It's not even dark out." Shinobu asked.

"It has been a rough day, I'm very tired, a short nap should be what I need to refresh myself." Kira simply replied. "If you don't mind of course, if you need anything, wake me up and I'll be there."

Shinobu blushed at the thought, her husband wanted her to tell him if she needed help now too? This must have been a dream, one she never wanted to wake up from. "Oh, I will, you go have a good sleep now. Erm, I'll go and check the mail."

As Kira walked up to his room, he bumped into Hayato on his way down. "Sorry son, I didn't see you there." He simply said. He knew he could easily take out Shinobu if he wanted a new girlfriend, but he had to repress his tendencies for now.

Hayato just stared at him. "Gah! Is this little shit already suspecting me to be an imposter. No, I shouldn't worry about it, from what I've heard from Shinobu, he doesn't even speak much." He thought as he went to bed.

As that was happening Mikitaka flew over the skies. "Nothing out of the ordinary, I should still report back to Josuke." He thought as he drifted back to the Nijimura home were he assumed everyone was.

"Oh, Mikitaka you're back." Josuke stated as he spotted the alien turn back after landing. "Yes, but I unfortunatly fail to report any findings so far. I apologize for my failure..." Mikitaka apologized.

"Hey, don't be too hard on yourself, you did your best. It's not like he's going to slip up immediately." Okuyasu stated.

"Yeah, unlike another killer I had to deal with as a baby, it's not like Kira will be hiring other stand users to stop us from bringing him to justice." Josuke added, patting his back. "C'mon, how about we take a load off at Tonio's? I heard he's making something called squid ink spaghetti, Dad said its supposed to be delicious."

Speaking of the old man, he was still teaching Josuke some hamon techniques just in case he was in a situation where he was unable to use his stand. Now the teen could now easily pass hamon through a frog and slice a rock underneath it in half. "I dunno when would be a time I wouldn't be able to summon Crazy Diamond, maybe if there's a stand that steals other stands, but this Hamon stuff is cool too."
