You guys wanted to see how Kosaku's new Stand helped out his home life. Well, here it is. I had fun writing this chapter.

Kosaku came home, spying his son Hayato in the window peering at the neighbors with a telescope. He sighed and headed inside. "I'm home," he called out to his wife Shinobu. She didn't answer. He smirked, then activated Under Pressure. Shinobu was shocked as her dress flipped up. "Eek!" "Plain again?," Kosaku asked as he peeked over her chair, "It's like you're not even trying anymore." Shinobu blushed, but felt the heat in her heart when he saw that. 'Has he really been paying attention to my underwear? He's bolder than I thought.'

She playfully slapped at him, giggling when he actually caught her her hand. "Ah, I have dinner on the cart. I was so busy today I didn't time have for anything big. But I made your favorite anyway." Kosaku chuckled when he saw the instant ramen. "Come on, Shinobu. I've indulged this little joke up until now, but I've had a hell of a day. Some asshole who looked like he came out of a blown-out bomb shelter tried to grab me. I fought him off and he grabbed some other guy and threatened the local beautician to switch their identities."

Shinobu blinked as he said that. "No way... That all happened to you? Get serious." "I am!," Kosaku argued, "And the next thing I hear is this douchebag is some serial killer living in our town. So me and some other guys who were tracking him go to his old house to look for clues, where his kooky old father tries to kill us, only for him to escape later in order to find and help his son." "Okay, who are you and what have you done with my husband?," Shinobu joked, "That sounds like something out of my soap operas. You're not just making that up just to make me happy are you?"

"Sweetie, you know me," Kosaku said, "I'm way too boring to make this shit up." Shinobu looked at him. "There's something different about you lately. I can see it in your eyes, some new spark of confidence." She blushed. "I kinda like it." 'Noriaki Kakyoin, you may have just saved my marriage,' Kosaku thought to himself. It was no secret that their marriage had been a loveless one. Really Shinobu only started dating him so she could feel better than her friends.

Things only seemed to get worse when he got her pregnant, since it meant they had to get married immediately. Naturally Kosaku started job hunting after that, but it wasn't a job he particularly liked since he was more or less bullied at work. Then out of nowhere, as he was walking home from work, an arrow suddenly hit him in the shoulder. That's when a man calling himself Noriaki Kakyoin approached him, wanting to ask him some questions. The man was a member of the Speedwagon Foundation, a well known conglomerate that was on the cutting edge of technology.

Kakyoin showed him a mysterious figure, and Kosaku was struck by the fact that he seemed to be the only one that could see the emerald green humanoid that seemed to stick out. It was then that Kakyoin explained the process of Stands, and it seemed Kosaku had that potential, which the arrow brought out. Over the next few days, Kosaku was transferred to be employed by Speedwagon, and learned the ins and outs of his Stand, which he called Under Pressure. Ironic, since he seemed to lose all the pressures of his life when he got it.

"By the way," Shinobu said, "You were gone for a few days. Did you get some kind of paid vacation and not tell me?" "More like a job transfer," Kosaku said, "I was picked to join the Speedwagon Foundation." Shinobu had been starting to actually cook and dropped the measuring cup when she heard her husband. "Could you pinch me? I think I'm in a dream world." Kosaku chuckled, and lightly pinched his wife's cheek. "Hey, hey, hey!," she said with a smile, "Good god, it's like you're a whole new man. Where was this attitude in middle school?"

The next day the landlord stopped by. "Listen," the man said, "You're behind on your last two payments, 260,000 yen total. You either pay up or you get booted out, end of story!" "You already received the check from my new employers, didn't you?," Kosaku asked. Quite frankly, he was tired of getting pushed around by this guy. "The 'check' was from the Speedwagon Foundation, a clear forgery!," the landlord said.

Kosaku narrowed his eyes. "You can't know that without checking with the bank. But you never went, did you?" "Didn't have to," the landlord said, "There's no way a major business like Speedwagon would hire a bum like you!" Kosaku narrowed his eyes. 'He just doesn't want to believe the check's legit. Since once he accepts it, it gives them free reign to change the lease. Which means I don't have to worry about the cat anymore. Well, if this guy really wants his cash...'

Under Pressure appeared behind the man and tapped at the strap on his bag, breaking it open with a quick twist. Shinobu raised an eyebrow. She couldn't see Under Pressure, but she could tell what her husband was up to. "Sorry, money's been kinda tight lately," Kosaku said, pulling out the bills Under Pressure passed to him, "We only have five-hundred thousand yen on hand." The landlord's eyes lit up, not realizing it was his own cash. "Well... I guess I could take it off your hands and waive the next couple months' rent."

Kosaku smiled. "Thank you." The landlord left after that. Once Kosaku was sure he was gone, he turned around, and got surprised when his wife actually hugged and kissed him. "When you did you turn into such a bad boy?," she asked, "That was a smooth con you pulled off there. He never even realized." Kosaku thought about it. "I guess when I learned how to control pressure," he quipped. Shinobu laughed, not realizing how literal he was.
