"Did you hear that we got a new science teacher?" 

Josuke and Okuyasu looked at their shorter friend, Koichi. "Huh? I mean, I have now, but wait what happened to the old teacher?"

"I'm not sure, from what I heard, the old teacher was missing from her apartment.  You don't think Kira has anything to do with it do you?" Koichi asked.  "I mean, she was a woman, though I wouldn't know the quality of her hands. Anyway, wonder what this new teacher is like."

They will get their answer later when it was time for science. As they waited in their seats, the trio waited for this mysterious new teacher.  Soon enough, the door opened, revealing a person of average height and build, though their face looked a little gaunt.  They wore what seemed like a white button up shirt with a purple ruffle collar and a green vest.  They also wore striped pants that were stiped vertical and horizontal, as well as purple shoes.  Not to mention their fingerless gloves that exposed most of their hands.  They also had light green hair and glasses.

"Good evening, class.  My name is Suda Momo, you can just call me Momo if you want, no need for formalities with me."  The teacher spoke.  However, there was some murmuring amongst the pupils.  "Isn't this guy an old prankster from the internet?" One student asked

"Wasn't their name Kyoufu?  They were known for the scariest pranks in Tokyo; I hope they don't prank us during Halloween." another stated.

Hearing them talk about their glory days, they let out a soft giggle.  "Don't worry, I assure I'm not the person I used to be, well, sort of.  I obviously will teach you about whatever is on the planner, though be aware, I won't hold back if you're being disrespectful to the class or to me."  Momo stated as they wrote down today's lesson on the board.

That statement about not holding back got the trio of stand users suspicious. "Why would they basically warn us about what would happen if we crossed their path?" Josuke thought. Thankfully as a stand user, he would be able to communicate telepathically with Okuyasu and Koichi. "Something weird's going on. How could the school hire a literal prank king as a new teacher?" He told them.

"Maybe they didn't know? I mean, they're not as well versed in the world of pranks like us." Okuyasu replied. "You don't think Kira's dad pulled some strings to get him hired, right?"

After dealing with Kira's ghost father in his own home, they were on edge that the serial killer would be sending any stand user he could after him. "I'm shocked he hasn't tried busting Akira out of jail while he was at it. But we have no proof that Momo was hired to take us out." Koichi pointed out.

"Well, we'll just have to find our proof then. Tonight, we'll bust into the teacher's lounge."

Though they were talking in their heads, Momo noticed them. They squinted their eyes a little before teaching the lesson.

Waiting until after school, even after all the clubs went home for the day, the trio went to investigate the teacher's lounge. "Man, being at school when all the lights are off is kinda creepy." Okuyasu commented, noting that the school was barely illuminated by the light of the moon. "Yeah, but we better get this over with quickly, so we don't get caught or something."

Unfortunately, they didn't find anything, mainly that there were just lesson plans and such. "Dammit, they probably kept the records in the principal's office. But even then, we'd have to rummage through both high school and middle school files to find-"

"To find who?"

Suddenly, a light turned on, not from the room, but by a flashlight. Momo stood at the door, holding said flashlight as he examined them.

"Shouldn't you boys be home? Club meetings ended an hour ago, not to mention, going into the teacher's lounge without a note from the teacher is prohibited. Did you not take my threat seriously?" Momo stated. Koichi noticed that the professor's shadow was elongating, as if it were approaching them.

"Uh, is your shadow getting bigger?" Koichi squeaked. The trio of teens backed up as soon as they noticed. Momo smirked at how frightened the three had become in their presence.

Immediately the shadow approached Josuke, only to alter itself into a very different form, one Josuke hoped to never see again. "Agah!!" The pompadour haired teen screamed; the shadow had formed itself into the biggest tortoise he had ever seen. Its tiny eyes stared directly at him, taking a step forward.

"Your worst fear is a tortoise? I know a fear of reptiles is a thing, but this is ridiculous." Momo snickered. "What you see in front of you is the Galapagos tortoise, the largest species living on earth. Of course, back in the older days, they were much larger. About the size of a car."

Just the thought of a tortoise that huge made Josuke curl up into a ball, rocking himself from the thought. "H-hey! That's not funny!" Koichi snapped, summoning Echoes. "What did you do to him?!"

"What did I do? All I did was show him a cute little turtle."

"Yeah but-"

"Koichi, that's your name, right? At least from my grade sheet that's who you are. Did you hear him? That sound, that beautiful sound! Screams are such a wonderful thing to hear, especially when they're caused by a prank." Momo stated a slight smirk on his face.

"This is a prank to you?! You took this too far Momo!" Koichi stated, causing the teacher to look at him. "Oh? You think this is too far? You're such a pansy. I mean, it's not my fault he's has such a lame fear." They stated before giggling a little bit. "Heh and now then, I wonder, what makes you scream?"

With Josuke completely spooked out of his wits, the stand turned to the short teen, ready to give him the fright of his life. Shifting from a giant turtle to something Koichi never thought he'd see again.

It was his mother, someone who he cared a lot about. But she had a knife in her chest, bleeding out. "K... Koichi..." The fake version of his dying mother spoke, her voice strained. "AH! Mom!"

"Alright, the loss of a loved one, a bit more emotional, but at least it's a normal fear." Momo stated as they watch Koichi quiver.

Okuyasu growled as he saw Koichi being traumatized by such a sight. "Oh so you think it's normal to show someone a gruesome death? You're acting like this is just an experiment?!" He snapped, summoning The Hand to erase the shadow.

"So, you have an ability as well? How interesting. You're Okuyasu, correct? You recently enrolled in this school only a few weeks ago. Were you homeschooled before now? Odd that no one ever seen you before." Momo replied.

"Oh no, I'm not giving you any information!" The teen snapped, making a lunge towards the teacher. "You see The Hand, so that shadow's gotta be a stand."

But before he could try and erase the shadow stand, it changed it shape again. "Well now, time to see what your deepest, darkest fear could be? I can assure you if you just let me do this, I'll leave you boys alone and not tell the headmaster that you snuck in at night to try and steal my papers."

Okuyasu was going to respond but he looked at what the shadow had turned into. It was Josuke. "Huh? He's scared of Josuke? That seems odd, you seem quite buddy-buddy with him. Hmmm..."

Momo was confused before the fake started speaking. "You really thought I'd be interested in someone like you? Look, I like you as a friend Okuyasu but there's no way in hell I'd date you. And it's not because you're a guy, it's just... You're so damn ugly." The fake Josuke stated turning around. It sounded like the real one, so Okuyasu believed it.

"Josuke!" He screamed as he fell to his knees and sobbed, getting the silent treatment from the fake. "Bro, just drop it, you're so embarrassing." The fake stated after a bit

"I see, so your fear is rejection. Eh. That's also kinda lame." Momo stated, somewhat disappointed at the turn out. "I mean, couldn't any of be scared of spiders or something actually interesting and not like, concepts? At least Josuke's is an actual thing.

Josuke finally broke out of his state of shock when he heard Okuyasu yell. It was then he noticed his clone. "Okuyasu's scared of being rejected by me? He has feelings for me?" He thought, but there was no time to be lost in his thoughts. Summoning Crazy Diamond, Josuke let his stand beat the stuffing out of his copy.

"J... Josuke?" Okuyasu mumbled, he couldn't tell if this was the real Josuke or not with how convincing the copy was. "I... I didn't want to tell you. I... I thought you..."

Josuke bent down to his level, giving his best friend a pat on the back. "You thought I'd react like that? Well, that copy should get some glasses, because you've got looks the other guys wish they had." He assured him. "Uh... Oku? Can I call you that for short? Even if I didn't like you like that, there's no way I would be that cruel."

The pompadour haired teen held his mouth once he realized what he had just said. "I uh..."

"Josuke? You like me back?"

"I, um, yeah. I mean I've been had feeling but I just assumed you were straight from the way you reacted to Koichi being on a date with Yukako before we found out she was a yandere." Josuke stated. "Oh, well, um, my feelings are more recent." Okuyasu confessed.

"Hey that's okay. Y'know you gotta have your awakening when you get y'know?" Josuke stated before turning to the enemy stand user. "Y'know you're real pathetic going after teens like this, I bet you aren't even a teacher."

"Oh, no I am, I have the PHD to prove it. besides, I'm only 8 years older than you, so do I really know better?" The teacher said. "Yeah!" Josuke said, helping Okuyasu up to beat this guy's ass.

Before Josuke could do so, Momo's stand shifted back to a tortoise. Josuke was stricken with fear once again. "Josuke, you can't let this asshole win."

"Don't even bother, he's full of fear. Even that rats nest of a hairdo is quivering!" Momo stated. However, this was his last mistake. Upon hearing this insult, the pompadoured teen was pulled out of his fear and filled with rage. "Excuse me... What did you say about my hair?!"

Before Momo had the chance to respond, Josuke didn't even bother to call out his stand to deal with the asshole of a teacher. He grabbed Momo by the shirt collar and tossed him against a wall with his own brute strength. "Whoa! I didn't know you were that strong." Okuyasu was at awe with his crush.

"Well, whenever anyone insults my hair, I sort of just go into a rage." Josuke admitted. Once Momo was fully knocked out, Josuke held his new boyfriend's hands. "Wow... You have really nice hands. uh, you want to be boyfriends?"

Koichi smiled as he watched his two friends now get together. "What do we do with Momo? I don't think he was working for Kira."

"Eh, just leave him there. We'll deal with him in the morning. Now, how about we all have a game night? I think we could use it after all that he put us through." Josuke suggested, kissing Okuyasu's cheek.

"Heh, I'd go anywhere with you." Okuyasu blushed, both from the kiss and spending the night at his house. "Let's bounce."
