Chapter 34: Jin the Headmaster

A small 3 year Kyoko was playing in the park she was playing around while her parents were looking at her from a bench, Jin was holding his wife Sinon while she rested on his chest - "ah this is life" - said Jin, Sinon started giggling making Jin blush - "you are so cute when you say stuff like that" - Jin's face turned completely red, before Sinon looked at him, and got close to him - "That's why I love you" - she then kissed him... and he returned the favor. He was the Happiest man alive, he had married the girl of his dreams, he had a beautiful daughter... there was nothing he could ask anymore

*thump*

"Ouch!" - They heard Kyoko complain, she had fallen to the floor and her knee was bleeding... she was about to cry... and Jin quickly stood, but Sinon stopped him - "Jin look" - she said and he saw a little boy (same age as Kyoko) running to Kyoko... he was a young boy with a lime green hoodie and white shorts, Brown spiky hair with an ahoge, and green eyes. He was being followed by a girl younger than him with black hair - "are you ok?" - asked the boy. Kyoko looked at the boy surprised... he was worried for her - "It hurts" - complained Kyoko, The boy thought for a second before he pulled a band-aid from his pocket, opened it and put it in Kyoko's knee - "there... it should feel better" - he said smiling... Kyoko then cleaned her face and looked at the boy - "who are you?" - she asked, the boy then smiled again - "my name is Makoto Naegi, and this is my sister Komaru" - he said presenting his sister... who was behind him hiding looking at Kyoko shyly - "and what's your name?" - he asked her - "I'm Kyoko Kirigiri" - mini Naegi then placed his hand to help her get up - "Do you want to play with us?" -Kyoko blushed but nodded... taking his hand. Naegi then helped her up and they all ran to play

"aw! they look so cute" - said Sinon looking at them... she then felt Jin get up and a bloodthirst coming from Jin, she looked at him and he was cocking his gun - "who does this punk think he is?" - Sinon giggled before she grabbed his arm - "Jin doesn't be like that... let the kids play, I want to be with you" - Jin calmed down and blushed. He was happy

...

...

That day was raining... Jin and Sinon were standing in front of a grave, around him he could see all his ex-classmates from his time in Hope's Peak. They all looked sad at the grave, Ryouko Kasugano was holding a little crying girl... same age as Kyoko and tears were falling from her eyes as well, a priest stood in front of the grave and looked at all of them

"here we meet to say our farewell's to a man, a husband, a friend. Stein Cheshire was an outstanding man, a role model to every kid in the future. He was a gentle, hardworking man. A man that spent his entire life trying to help humanity as a whole. And succeeded to use his intelligence, not for self-gain... but to help others than himself. So today we give our graces and say farewell to him... not only for respect... but of how close we were to him"

...

After the funeral they joined inside for a friendly reunion to give their condolences to the widow, Jin told Sinon to talk with Ryouko to help her weep... While doing that Jin went outside... in front of Stein's grave was Sora wearing a black cloak and looking at his gravestone - "I can't believe he was the first to go" - said Jin softly while Sora stared at the gravestone - "it's Ironic" - responded Sora - "The creator died before the destroyer, it's kind of sad" - Jin stood next to Sora both looking at the grave. Jin then smiled - "hey Sora how's been your life... I heard you took a student"

"Jin... I want you to stop working with me" - said Sora... yet Jin didn't react - "Sora... you see one death and start shaking on your boots" - he said, Sora sighed - "Jin... I felt bad" - he said shocking Jin... who looked at him surprised - "Seeing Ryouko crying... seeing his daughter crying it made me think... You see I have never been a family type of person. Yet both of you were always this way... so unlike me, you have a lot to lose, Sinon, Kyoko" - he then looked at Jin - "they need you more than me... if you died... who would take care of them?... I can't let them go through that"- he then closed his eyes - "so it's better to not risk it. So I'm asking you to please stop" - Jin looked surprised but then smiled - "wow that is the first time you actually looked like you cared about somebody else... yet it is true that he and I knew the truth about you being a nice guy... but I can't stop helping you" - he said smiling gently - "If I stopped you would have to carry all the weight of being the Jester alone" -Sora then sighed - "do what you want" - he said before he left to the reunion

2 years later

Sora was on a mission. He was on the hunt of a corrupt politician... one who had a lot of power. He used his power destroy every opposition he had. He was a man with the power to bring down Humanity... Yet now he had Sora's blade on his throat... and was not scared - "so you are the Black Jester... you look younger than I thought... Sora Lupos" - Sora stared at him suspiciously... the man smiled

"so what are you waiting for... kill me" - he said to Sora, trying to tempt him - "what did you do?" - asked, the man laughed - "I don't mind dying today, because even if I die... I have already won" - Sora looked mad and cut off his head.

He returned to his family as quickly as he could...he had a bad feeling. His family all lived in a mansion... It was tradition for the family to live together, after all even if only one was chosen as the Jester... they were all trained together"

Sora hadn't returned to that place in years. While being the prodigy he was always considered the black sheep of the family. He didn't have anybody he cared about. But to have them all die. Sora entered and the intense smell of blood filled his nose. He then opened the door and his eyes went wide...everyone was dead... his parents, his sister, his aunt, uncle... they were all dead... there was only one person who could kill them... Him. He then noticed and quickly called Jin

Jin was at his office, he was still working his normal job as a detective when his phone started ringing - "who could it be at this hour?" - he asked before he took it - "Jin it's that you!?" - he heard Sora say worried almost screaming - "Answer me Dammit!" - he screamed, Shocking Jin - "Sora it's me... calm down" - Jin said while listening Sora sigh in relief - "Jin... go home now!"- Sora ordered him - "Sora what's happening?" - Jin asked concerned... what was making him be so afraid - "He appeared" - he said, Jin hands tensed and dropped his pen - "are you sure?" - he asked... it couldn't be true - "Yes.. he killed my whole family... only he can... the only man who can fight the Jester... the King of death " - Jin then dropped his phone and ran to the door - "Jin?... Jin?!

...

...

Jin got to his house as fast as he could. He drifted when he got to his house and got out as fast as he could. He got to the door and noticed that his door was open. He opened it scared and noticed that his house was a mess - "Sinon!? Kyoko!?"- he ran inside, searching for them while screaming their names, He then got to Kyoko's room, and started shaking, his eyes went wide right there in her room was Sinon... she was in the floor blood surrounding her - "Sinon!" - he screamed before he got on the floor and hold her - "Sinon... Sinon please!" - he begged. she then opened her eyes - "Jin?" - she asked weakly, she then smiled at him - "I'm not going to make it" - Jin started panicking - "but at least I was able to save Kyoko... she is in our room" - her eyes were closing, Jin screamed panicking but she then died... right in his hands.

He went to his room a defeated man. He then opened his wardrobe where he found a sleeping Kyoko on there, He picked her up while every ally of his got to the house. Sora Everyone saw Jin fall to his knees while holding Kyoko. His eyes were blurry he had given up

"Jin... how are you hanging" - Said Sora after Sinon's funeral, Jin was silent... he didn't want to talk yet he knew that Sora wasn't going to leave _ "it's not easy... It hurts" - he said his voice shaking - "How are you... did any of them survived" -Sora sighed - "Only my little brother survived... He has been living in the medicine University housing... so he was safe from the mass murder... Yet today is not about me" - he said Jin winced in pain

"where is Kyoko?" - He asked, Jin looked at him - "She is with my father, I didn't want her to see her mother dead"- Jin and Sora then stayed silent for a couple of minutes...before Jin stood - "Sora... I'm leaving" - he said yet Sora didn't react, he understood - "are you sure... what about your daughter?"

"She is better without me. I don't want to a reminder how I ruined our family" - Sora then sighed - "Jin... you will rise again... you haven't failed" - Sora then turned around... and before he left said - "After all you are the only person I can depend"

Sora then went back to the hotel he was staying - *Cough Cough* - he started coughing, before he checked his hand... it had blood - "Stein, Jin I guess I don't have a lot of time" - he then pulled out a pill bottle and took 2 of the pills inside (Stein anti-cancer pills). He got to his room where a little girl of 5 years old was waiting for him... She had green hair and green eyes

"Hi, Sora... where are we going now?"
