Before we begin I'd like to remind my readers that I'm all about drama without the trauma. While I will put my characters through life-threatening scenarios, I will NOT put them through anything emotionally breaking!

That said, we're up to the one-hundredth chapter (not counting the OC Stand files)! And how appropriate that it's at the turning point of Diamond is Unbreakable, where we start the hunt for Kira. Hope you enjoy.

Kira had rushed to his car. He'd have to buy a new one soon, but first he had to alter his appearance. Somehow those two kids survived his Killer Queen and were able to get away with valuable information. Plus, it was clear he wasn't the only one with a Stand. Likely the other two did as well, and he didn't know their powers. 'Killer Queen is meant to help me with my killer instinct,' he thought, 'It can erase any evidence... Or at least I thought it could. That girl mentioned a toon world. I've seen characters in cartoons survive explosions with only marginal damage. I never imagined a power like that could happen in real life.'

He tossed his latest girlfriend to his Stand, which destroyed it with another explosion. He then started shaving down his hair and changing his suit to a different brand. They may know his name, but if he altered his appearance even slightly, it wouldn't matter if they overheard it. "I never thought I'd be in a position where I had to leave witnesses alive. But that girl's Stand is too strong. Luckily I prepared for this sort of situation... Just in case. A number of different styles for if I have to disappear again. And I can still come in for work. If I do it right, my peaceful life will be maintained."

Using Pinkie's Stand to cancel the bomb on the doorknob, Josuke fixed the door using Crazy Diamond. "So we found him." He held up a button that Shigechi had grabbed off of Kira's suit. "All Shigechi's searching and he bumbles into him by complete accident," Okuyasu said, "But what about his sandwich?" "Ah, for all I know a dog ate it," Shigechi said, "But that's not important. The important thing is this guy is dangerous." He pointed to the cuff link button. "And this button could be the clue we need to track him down."

Kira thanked the auto dealer as he drove off with his new car. He'd had Killer Queen destroy the old one. 'That seems to be it. One last detail. Apparently one of the buttons on my last suit came loose in the struggle. I'll have to go to the tailor and get it fixed, since I'll likely be able to use that suit again in time.' He drove through town, part of his mind still curious about how many other Stand users were looking for him.

The Morioh group, plus their friends from outside, were gathered at Reimi's Alley. "You're very lucky to survive," Reimi noted. "Reimi, there's something I've been curious about," Pinkie said. She gave Reimi a picture of her father. "I think Kira may have killed my father." Reimi looked at the photo, and gave a tearful nod. "Yes... I recognize this man. He was killed with the same signature as the others. By now he may have changed his appearance. Even some slight alterations can throw off perception."

"We're not without clues," Shigechi said, "Harvest grabbed this button off him." Jotaro picked the button up. "If this serial killer is a Stand user, we need to get involved." "The Speedwagon Foundation will start looking into it," Kakyoin said, "It'll give us a head start on where to look for Kira. Place of address, that sort of thing." "I still can't believe the killer turned out to be a Stand user," Yukako said. "It was inevitable," Hazamada said, "Stand users are drawn to each other."

"If we can find this guy's place of work," Tamami said, "I can probably make some inquiries. If he's a serial killer then he feels no guilt for his actions, so my Stand's useless against him. His co-workers are another matter." "I'll send warning to all my customers," Tonio said, "Especially the young women. They seem to be his preference." The group started dispersing, not realizing that Kira, sporting a slightly toned down look, was passing by them.

So far, he had avoided Pinkie and Shigechi. 'I keep this up and I may slip their minds entirely. Then it won't be necessary to hunt them down. Erasing them now will likely only draw suspicion.' He didn't know they had already passed a vital clue to their friends. He was more concerned about maintaining his peaceful life. And luck still seemed to be on his side. 'I'll need to be especially wary of Pinkie. I overheard her talking about her father. I remember him. He sticks out in my mind because he caused me to have to give up on a target. He managed to shoot me even as I managed to erase him, so I had to seek medical attention.'

He then overheard a couple women gossiping. "So my birthday was last Friday, and the guy I was with gave me this crappy ring." She showed the ring, and Kira did have to admit it looked tacky. "Of course I pretended to like it," the woman said, "But I'm really only dating him because he's my landlord's son. He's such a geek." "Wow, it does look garish," the other woman said, "How much is it worth?" The first woman shrugged. "Something like 150,000 yen. I'm just gonna pawn it, though. It doesn't even match my nails."

Kira looked the woman over subtly. 'A beautiful face, but an ugly heart. I know just how to purify it.' This was his personal preference for victims. The woman's hands suited his style, but her attitude was that of a gold digger. It was his father's suggestion, so that he'd be more likely to stick to his pattern and avoid slipping up and leaving evidence behind. If there was one thing he was grateful to his father for, it was indulging his hobbies. As he saw the woman walk off, he made sure no one else was watching and carefully walked after her.

And so the real struggle in Morioh began. Angelo was an overt killer, never hiding the fact that he was a scumbag. In fact, he reveled in it. That was likely why he kept being put in prison, and ultimately was defeated quickly when he came up against other Stand users. But Kira was different. He was careful caution, and knew how to keep his killer tendencies under control, and he went the extra mile to avoid standing out or leaving clues. He would be much harder to bring down.
