JoJo was happy today. Not a single attack by a creep, he didn't have to fix anything or anyone, and that turtle he found on his first day hasn't come back to haunt him. The weather was nice and the air clean, people joyous, and things have been peaceful. And then he got home. His mother was sharing similar feelings as she was humming to herself, modeling in a beautiful red velvet dress JoJo never saw before.

"Hey Mom, what's with the new dress? Is our favorite nephew coming by?"

"Boy I'd slap that tongue out of your mouth if it weren't for such a fantastic day! For the first time in a long time, I've gotten a real date with a real man!"

"Oh. Oh, you're serious. Oh dear lord, you're dead serious."

"What?"

"I just can't believe it... All this time I thought you didn't believe in love. For the longest time I used to think you adopted me!"

"Josuke nothing you can say will ruin my mood! You should meet him, I swear you'll love him!"

There was a knock on the door as she near squealed in excitement running over to open it.

"How do I look? Stunning? Seductive? Charming?"

"Desperate?"

"Psh! You get your looks from me, and I look Great!"

"You always do. Now hurry up and answer the door."

She swung it right open and even gestured to the man in front of them proudly, and like that, JoJo's Great Day had turned into Hell. The man had light blonde hair that was combed back with few free strands, light grey eyes and fairly light skin. He wore a black and thin white pin stripe suit with a pink tie with purple broken hearts and solid ones in alternating pattern. Dark leather shoes and two rings on each index finger. He smiled at JoJo and gave a small finger wave as his mom introduced him.

"This wonderful hunk is-"

"Kira Yoshikage..."

His mom gave him a confused look, but the man, Kira, only smiled with a glint in his eye.

"What was that Josuke?"

"I-I said-"

"Bah! Whatever, we're off for our date, dinner's in the microwave!"

"WAIT MO-"

The door was shut in his face and by the time he had opened it, they were already out of the driveway. The man driving in his own car, glancing back at Josuke for a single moment. That was enough for JoJo to run after them, losing the car in a matter of moments, following the road and looking into the windows of restaurants all over town even around sundown. He asked around yet, no one had seen the two, making him panic only more and more. Soon it was midnight and now he was completely lost, wandering in a suburban area, still looking for his mother and her captor. Then, Kira's voice rang out softly from the dark.

"It seems someone has wandered a bit too far into business that is not theirs to worry about."

"... Get out here to where I can see you."

"Now why would I do that? Come on Josuke, if we meet like this..."

Josuke turned to see Kira walk under the light of a lamppost, holding a feminine severed hand, still dripping fresh blood as the color had yet to vanish from the skin. Whether that was his mom or not, he knew what that meant and began stomping over to him as strands flew up from his pompadour, his eyes alone lit the flame in his heart. It didn't help that a fly had been bugging him for the past hour non-stop.

"I wouldn't throw your life away like this. Your mother would be quite lonely without you. But you can hold onto this if you'd like."

Kira tossed the hand over to JoJo, who jumped to the side dodging the hand, but flying away from the explosive force of the hand blowing up. Right into the wall of a house, nearly going through the wall. Kira adjusted his tie as he strolled over to him grabbing a small pebble, tossing it up a few times to catch it before lobbing it over to JoJo . Josuke dived for the side but was blown away into the drive way. A bleeding mess, he still stood up as Kira chuckled.

"This looks familiar. In due time, I will make you suffer, but I should thank you for helping me... Grow."

He turned around and began to walk off into the dark of the night as the porch light came on. Sunset Shimmer ran out and almost screamed at what she saw. Josuke falling to a knee horribly wounded, worse than the fire at the school. She ran over to him hoping he was still alive.

"J-JoJo! What happened?!"

"..."

"JoJo? Oh man, I've got to get you to a hospital."

"W-Wait..."

He raised a hand to the damaged wall, just barely in reach, fixing it before being helped up by Sunset Shimmer. She helped him to a chair next to the phone and picked it up, swatting away at the fly that was bothering her suddenly. It was near instantaneous. The sudden vascularity, the surge of expanding, Sunset Shimmer exploded for a moment shrieking as she stepped back and found herself still whole. JoJo's hand out and blurred with a finger held over his mouth as he looked to the front door. She held a hand over her mouth and followed her gaze as someone opened it. She had been so worried about JoJo she forgot to lock the door, allowing Kira to enter. She snuck behind the counter and hid the best she could as Kira approached JoJo, leaning back and placing a gloved hand on the counter.

"Hm... My plan was to, take a knife and stab the bits and place it in your hands. Even you aren't able to move in your condition. But no bits, no mess, only you. Which could mean."

JoJo's eyes widened and surprised the blonde man, clocking him in the jaw hard enough to visibly snap it as he stumbled into the other room, but he had anticipated this. He knew JoJo could take much more than a few small explosions. Sunset Shimmer eyes widened at the blow before coming apart once more, yet she was whole and in JoJo's arms.

"W-What Is Happening!?"

"That guy, he's the one behind those weird events this past week. He can place charges on anything he touches into an explosion. They can explode what they're on or wait until someone touches the object, transferring the charge on them."

"You mean he's been blowing me up this entire time!? Th-That explains the loud noise early but-"

"I'll fix you each time, I wish I could promise that was the last time, but I'm not sure."

He gave her a thumbs up and smile before standing up, and getting shot in the shoulder. Kira held his jaw close enough to it's original placement as he could, aiming to Sunset Shimmer as she held her arms up in protection. Three shots. Three shots that never made it to her, instead, they had entered JoJo's back. Kira rolled his eyes but aimed for the head, missing his shot as JoJo stuck a foot out, breaking Kira's leg and kicking the gun out of his hand as he fell. Sunset Shimmer opened a nearby shelf, taking out the first thing and throwing it right at Kira as she backed away, turning to run. His eyes narrowed in on her as a knife found itself into his arm. He grabbed the knife and threw it back at her. Before making it to her body the knife exploded. Tearing her back apart and slamming her into a wall. Kira attempted to stand up but found JoJo's lifting him up nd throwing him into a wall and out the window. Soon everything began fix itself as Sunset Shimmer groaned and rubbed her head.

"Ooh... No wonder you're so scared of explosions."

"Stay inside, I-"

His eyes widen as his skin paled at the sound of a cat meowing. They looked outside to see a bored yet smiling pink cat come to Kira's side, purring as it pressed itself against him as he stroked it carefully. Then it looked at them. It could careless for Sunset Shimmer, but memories of a dumb haired punk came back from not too long ago, hissing at the sight of him. JoJo pulled her close and dropped down to the ground.

"Wha-What's with the cat?"

"That cat of his can send air bullets. He can still turn those into bombs and make portable explosions."

"What! JoJo that's incredibly-"

She looked up as a sudden explosion wrecked most of her kitchen.

"Holy! Okay, okay, you're right! How do we get out of this?!"

"He can't control it, only that cat can, and neither of them can see where it goes. We just have to stay out of sight and stay quiet."

The fly came back, surprisingly still alive and flew in front of JoJo's face. He swatted away at it as they ran out of the kitchen, looking back and noticed the next explosion was right where they had been. The fly followed them throughout the house as did the explosions. JoJo began to notice this and finally grabbed the fly.

"JoJo I get it, that thing is annoying but we're trying not to die here!"

"I know, and hopefully, I think I solved my problem."

The fly was much more durable than it should have been, seeing as it wasn't crushed within his grip, but JoJo wasn't trying to kill it. He applied enough pressure to break a leg with the sound of someone yelping outside.

"Of course he has help."

"What? A-Are you saying someone is spying on us with a fly? This can't be happening."

"Just a guess but, I think whoever's using this fly is telling Kira where to send the bombs!"

He dove with Sunset Shimmer to the floor on instinct, the same one that's been keeping him alive for this long, feeling a strange wind past them. The fly buzzed and buzzed before the strange wind came back. Yet nothing exploded. JoJo smirked and looked at the fly.

"And as long as he's this close, he won't risk himself being blown up with us. But I don't want to take that risk."

They got up and ran for the backdoor, narrowly escaping a few explosions, some misplaced due to the fly being too close. As they neared the door they began to hear a faint voice speaking frantically.

"They're coming after you and coming MY way! Hurry up and get over here, Kira now!"

It was too late. JoJo had kicked the door opened, and with it, pushed a man down onto the ground, holding his broken leg as he stared frightened with a phone in hand.

"They're right here! Just shoot a bomb at them now!"

"Wait you idiot, he'll kill you too-"

JoJo felt it, the strange wind pass by them and over to the man. He jumped back and used his body to shield Sunset Shimmer from the blast. She opened her eyes with a pained groan. Then she realized JoJo was still on top of her. She tapped his shoulder and tried to look around for the maniac attempting to kill them.

"JoJo, now's not the time for a nap! C'mon get up!"

She pushed him off of her as he rolled over limp. Eye open, faded, dead. She pulled away at him before noticing and shaking her head.

"O-Oh, no. No no no no! You can't do this to me. C'mon I don't have anyone else to help me out here!"

Nothing. She put her head to his chest, hearing not a single beat, nor was he breathing. She was terrified and looked around for anything or anyone, a bubble could come and finish her at any moment. She noticed the remains of the man and turned away feeling sick. What was left was burnt and smoldering, a hand and a eye ball. She pounded on JoJo's chest in some vain attempt, hoping to wake him up somehow until she heard a low chuckling.

"I can't believe my luck. He actually died saving someone he barely knew, of course."

She looked up to see Kira standing over here and getting closer.

"No one will stop me from having my peaceful, quiet, life. And I'll make sure of it."

As he stared down at her she began to hear sirens. It was a ditch effort, she turned and ran to the front of the house were a lone officer was staring oddly at her.

"Miss, I've been getting a few complain-"

"YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME! THERE'S A KILLER! T-TWO BODIES IN MY BACYARD I JUST ESCAPED HIM!"

She grabbed him and pulled at him, looking around frantically, despite knowing the bubbles were invisible, she couldn't help herself. The officer scratched his head but took out his weapon regardless.

"Show me where the bodies are Miss, keep close and tell me everything that happened."

"Okay.. Oka-"

She noticed something odd as the officer stumbled back, wounds suddenly opening underneath his suit, as if a bomb went off inside. He stood there swaying and confused before a glint in his eye shined, then exploded. Sunset Shimmer woke up in her bed screaming. Sweating, teary eyed, and feeling sick. She looked down at her hands then around. She was back in her room. She checked her calendar, the date hadn't changed. It was a horrible case of déjà vu. In fact it was if the whole day restarted itself. As she got ready for the day, hoping all that she remembered was a dream, she left for the bus stop and saw him. Kira, right at her stop. She never noticed him before, she didn't pay him any mind, and likewise he still didn't seem to care for her. She kept an eye on him and to her disdain he noticed. Frowning as he glanced back with a raised brow before looking away. She approached him and folded her arms.

"Excuse me, sir?"

"... What do you want?"

"Do you know someone named Josuke? Goes by JoJo?"

His eyes widened before looking around, then smiling, the small crowd of people glancing over.

"So it seems my plan has finally began. You've come back from killing someone."

"You were the one who killed people!"

"What did I do again? Say it a bit louder."

"I Said You Killed Them!"

She turned and pointed at him angrily.

"Someone call the police, this man's a murderer-"

While everyone had a skeptical faces, she saw several glints in their eyes before they exploded, as did she. Waking back up in her bedroom. It wasn't a dream, she came to that horrifying conclusion when he smiled, but this was something else. Was he sending her back through time? She was utterly lost and simply wanted to stay in, but decided against it. She could use this to her advantage, she just needed to figure out what was happening. She started her day over, and met Kira again at the stop. She sat next to him staring ahead, barely speaking above a whisper.

"What did you do to me."

Kira glanced at her and scoffed, then he sneered.

"Wait, what did you say, girl?"

"What did you do to me?!"

"Hmph. You can scream all you like, shouldn't you be going to the police if you know who I really am?"

"You did, something, so that I can't tell people."

"Hehehe, how many people have you killed to realize that?"

She wanted to hit him right there. This man killed her friend and now trapped her in a possible time loop, she needed to stay cool headed, for now.

"Why are you doing this?"

"I just want a simple, quiet, life. Is that so hard to ask for? Our bus has arrived, and as you can imagine, I am a busy man. Do whatever stupid schoogirl stuff you do. And don't interfere."

He stood up as she slapped him hard as she could across the face. She came to realize how much of a bad idea that was as his own hand came down on her, only to stop at her raised arms. She looked up and saw he was struggling, as if something was holding him until he retracted his hand and adjusted his hand.

"Hmph! I'll let you go this time, but do that again, I'll be sure to teach you a proper lesson."

He bumped into her with his shoulder before getting on the bus. As the door closed she realized the bus left her behind and began running after it. Today was an awful day for Sunset Shimmer.
