The Ludicrous Escapade Pt.4

In the Dark of the Night

"Wow. He looks completely different." Noted Yasuho as your Stand was switched to Yoshikage Kira.

"Right? They don't have a whole lot in common. Except maybe their fondness for hands. Even then, this universe's Kira seems to have only liked his own hands. Mine" You put a  hand on Yoshikage's shoulder "killed women for their hands."

Yasuho gasped. "So he was actually a killer in your universe?!"

He let out a short cough. "Yes, well... that was a long time ago." He took your hand off his shoulder and brought it up to his lips. "Now (Y/N)'s hands are the only ones I like."

You looked away from him, but didn't remove your hand from his. "Yeah..."

"But is there something you needed me for, (Y/N)?" Not that he was complaining. He also missed his time with you outside the void room. But he knew you were being careful with Gappy around.

"I mostly wanted to make sure you were doing okay. Gappy ran off to do his own thing, so unless he pops up around us out of nowhere, it should be fine." You gave his hand a soft squeeze. "You aren't too bored in there are you?"

"Not at all." He smiled. "You know I enjoy the quiet life. Although, I suppose we could use some more books. I think we've read through pretty much everything we have. I don't really care which genre or anything like that. I'm not picky."

"Okay, I can do that." You set yourself a reminder to order some things when you got back to the Higashikata house.

"How exactly did you die?" Yasuho was still curious about this other Yoshikage, even if it wouldn't help her understand Josuke any better.

"I got ran over by an ambulance." He put an arm around your waist, pulling you into a side hug. "There are other ways I would have preferred to die, but it's not something I really concern myself with anymore. I know I...deserved it for what I did."

"I mean, it sort of ended up in your favor." You leaned your head against his shoulder. "If he hadn't become a ghost after that and proved himself over the years, I probably wouldn't have ever used his tie with my Stand."

"Wow. So ghosts are real, too?" Yasuho sure was learning a lot during the past few days.

"Do you plan to stay out here for a while? I could cook something up and bring a few drinks, if you'd like." He had already been preparing himself a light snack in the void room before he had been summoned. He also simply enjoyed cooking for you. He had already been decent at it before his death, but he had plenty of time to hone his skills.

"That sounds lovely!" Yasuho took a seat on a nearby bench.

Your walk had led the two of you near the docks, so there was a decent view of the ocean.

"Thank you, Yoshikage." You took a seat beside the pink haired woman as the blonde man returned to the void room.

She let out a relaxed sigh, grateful for another moment of peace. "He's pretty nice!" She paused and thought about her words and the past conversation. "Wait... but you said he was a serial killer, didn't you? If you hadn't told me, I never would have guessed..."

"No, I get it. Especially compared to other enemies I've faced, he's a pretty normal looking guy." You were even friends with him for a bit before finding out he was the murderer you were all looking for.

Yoshikage returned with a platter full of food and some bottled drinks. "It's nothing fancy, but I hope it will suffice."

"It looks wonderful." You patted the empty space next to you. "Why don't you join us?"
