Chapter 4

Akira POV

It was nice to meet up with Kouji and Eri again, even if Kouji beach trip and what he learned there from some..."people" that need to be disappeared. I'm gonna have to find out who they are later, since he was tight-lipped about them. Probably sense I was pissed off. I'm gonna have to pry it out of him later when we're alone or something.

...If it's safe for me to be alone with him anymore.

I don't want to think of my one and only guy friend as be a lost cause, but I might have to re-evaluate my security measures against him.

I really hope it doesn't get to that.

What I was able to learn the sequence of events of Kouji's trip to Okinawa, mostly from Eri getting him to talk, and just inferring what would realistically happen based due to how this world works. Eri, despite being a Dumb Genius, really is too good at getting people to open up and talk. She doesn't even realize it. It's why a lot of people open up to her and tell her their sob stories and then get interested in her.

Thank god I taught her some social defenses (and she knows some actual self-defense from when she joined a kick-boxing club in Grade 7).

About Kouji, it seems he met some "Senpais" while he was at the beach, and they took him with them for a mixed blind date gathering. Either to even their numbers, or as some sort of initiation.

Hopefully it's not a gang. I'd rather not deal with another sex-trafficking ring. Accidentally discovering one while learning computer code (holy shit those were some shitty email and SMS securities), then getting them exposed and caught in a very public manner (overkill but I thought to cover my bases and be through), was barely enough to put them away for good. Because of course three quarters of the police, at minimum, were corrupted (Had to use their vices so they would do their jobs).

Either way, one time dealing with a gang is one time too many.

From what I got, those "Senpais" approached Kouji first. Given that, it's likely some people from our middle school. I'm gonna have to check the school's servers and look at old student records, and find out what happened to everyone who was older than us, and who of them Kouji even remotely interacted with. It's a start.

A few times while we're hanging out Kouji tried something with Eri, but I verbally cut him down. When he tried to "subtly" get handsy with me, I had to make it clear to him that that was not okay behavior toward your friends.

"Hurgk!"

"Man, Kouji. I hope you didn't pick up any bad habits while hanging out with those 'Senpais' of yours." I smiled innocently as I grabbed his balls and dug my nail enough to be noticeable over his jeans covered scrotum. Thankfully my hand was hidden under the table so Eri didn't notice.

"No." He meowed. Literally. "Course not."

"Akira." Eri spoke with her teacher voice. "You have a mean look on your face."

"Oh I'm just thinking about how much grip strength is needed to crash a baseball with your hand."

"Please don't crush any baseballs!" Kouji pleaded passionately, so I let him be for now. He didn't try any "suave" moves for the rest of the evening. After that, it was just us hanging out, and going to see a movie as normal. Nothing else happened (Of course I was in the seat between Eri and Kouji. I had to suffer in Eri's hug from any jump scares but beyond that, nothing else happen. Kouji was holding my hand being a scary-cat as always).

In the end, it was a fun evening, and I think despite Kouji picking up some dumb ideas during the summer, it's still the same person underneath.

At least I really hope so.

Life continued as normal, and everything seemed peaceful, yet all that came crashing down a week after school began.

"What!?"

I heard my mom shout from my room. I left to go see what was bothering her when I saw Him at the door.

Then all I saw was red.

Haroto POV (Fat Bastard)

"Please madam, we may have our difference, but I think your sister-in-law's health should take priority. What do you say we go see her now?" I said calmly and sincerely. It was utter bullcrap of course.

Sure, Youko was "sick". She was high on an aphrodisiac I got recently. It really got the best results, since she was getting loose lately. Now all I need is for Koroko-chan here to get in skin-to-skin contact with Youko and the oil will it's job. The Hypno Phone making all thing scenarios go along was just icying on the cake.

It was so easy getting these bitches to fall into my hands. Life was so easy since I got my hands on this phone.

Yes, the hypnosis was weak and required plausible suggestions that the person could consider and do, at first before it took root in their mind way later on.

But I was good at making stories. Saying things for people to believe and follow.

And those bullies from high school made fun of me for being in theater club.

Whose laughing now, Taro? I am!

I took everything from you now, and you killed yourself like a weakling you always were. Fucking asshole never even remembered until I told him in the end.

"I..."

She was wavering, but I got so good with the hypnosis, that I could see the signs that she'll come with me.

"Mom." A calm lovely voice came form the living room, connecting to the entrance hall. And then that cute face followed it.

It was Akira-chan. He really grew up to be so cute.

Oh, that stiff back, he remembers me. I could help but smile in joy.

"Oh Akira." Koroko called out.

"Are you going out?" He asked.

Odd question. Did he hear us from the beginning? Did the phone's power grow stronger? Maybe today is my lucky day.

"I--"

"Then you should go change." Akira said in a decisive voice. "You can't go out in those clothes."

"Oh?" The soon-to-be bitch looked down to see she was in her home outfit. "You're right, Akira-kun. I can't go out like this. I'll go change, it should only take a minute."

"Oh it's not..." I didn't have time to say that it's not important, but she already left. Oh well, seeing her in another outfit would be hot too.

Did Akira-chan send her away to spend time with me? Aww, how adorable.

"So Akira-chan, how have--"

As I turned to look at the cute girly boy, and took a step forward I tripped. My balance used to be bad, and I used to be clumsy and fall. That stopped happening ever since I got the Hypno Phone. Or rather when it happen, it ended up being good luck for me.

And I think I used up a lot of good luck right now.

As I was falling I saw a kitchen knife sail where my head was at.

Holy shit! Dangerous! Dangerous! That was so dangerous!

Where did it even come from!?

I looked at where it was thrown from and--

Terror. It was like a wave of oppressive wrath fell on me.

All I could see on Akira's wide eyes, and bared clenched teeth was Rage.

The world felt smaller on me. His beautiful blonde hair that framed his face looked like some animal's mane. I could swear I saw an aura of an angry lion around him.

Mommy, this is so scary what is this.

The phone! I have to--

"If you don't leave." That growling voice grabbed all my attention. I couldn't think of anything else, but to listen lest I die. "Right now." That boy, he looked so angry, it was like the words struggled to be formed and leave his mouth from how much rage was inside him. "If you take one more step into this house."

"Aaaah..." I wanted to cry. My eyes started to burn.

"I. Will. Kill. You!"

I turned, crawled, stood up and ran out of the open apartment door.

I'll come back another time. I'll get Koroko. I'll get Akira. And any other bitch I want.

But right now I needed to run!

Akira POV

It took a lot of talk and discussion to dissuade my mom from leaving to head to my aunt right away. I convinced her that we should all go along with my dad in a few days, since if Aunt Youko was really sick, she would be in a hospital, and That Bastard would have been more panicked.

Asking mom to visit just because Auntie is sick, could just mean she has a cold. Hell, why come here and not phone us?

It took a while, but eventually I got through to her. When my dad arrive, I finally got through to my mom, with two voices of reason.

When we did called Aunt Youko, she suddenly said she was fine now (shocker), and gave a heart-felt apology and said she just wanted to mend things between us. Dad seemed to waver since it was his sister, but I kept gesturing for him to say no.

It didn't look like it worked, so I got a piece of paper, and wrote that at least we can't meet right away, but in a week or something, so we all mentally and emotionally prepare. He went along with that.

Now that the immediate crisis was solved, it was time to go on the offensive.

The Bastard, Haroto, had two phones from what I saw on him. Weird, but unexpected. It just meant he has twice as many communication points to hack and track him from.

The first one had odd encryptions, but the second one was easy to get into. Step one, done.

Now, time to finally put all the hidden modifications in my house to good use.

Haroto POV (Fat Bastard)

It was three days before I stood in front of Koroko and Akira-chan's home.

I tried to find Koroko and talk to her alone but she was never at any of the points I knew she would at, from when I stalked her. Groceries, or shopping, or otherwise.

Yesterday though, Akira-chan call Youko behind his parents back, the naughty boy. He gave a heartfelt speech about how he miss "his Auntie" and how he wanted to see her again.

It was so sweet, it brought a tear into my eye as I came inside Youko's now tight again pussy. I guess listening to her nephew pour his heart out made it hotter.

He told her that he would be home alone today, and that he wanted to talk to her first alone, so he could later on convince his parents to accept her again.

Heh, my good luck struck again.

Now I can deal with Akira-chan all on my own, and get to Koroko-chan from there.

The Hypno Phone suddenly got a software update after I left Koroko's apartment three days ago. It made hypnotic suggestions that were much stronger, but the recipient needed to hear a song next to their ear.

This will be a good first test to it.

I knocked on the door.

"Auntie, is that you? Come in, it's open." That cute voice came from the inside. I grabbed the handle, and yes, the apartment door was left open.

I sighed. Seriously, kids these days were so careless. I entered the closed the door firmly behind me.

"Y-you!? What are you doing here?" Akira-chan screamed with that lovely voice as I entered the apartment. He stood at the end of another hallway from the living room.

"Hello, Akira-chan. I came to bring you to meet your aunt. I have to say, your actions were pretty bad last time. I could have gotten hurt." I walked toward the cute blossoming trap. He was fear struck, standing in place, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. People tended to think of their homes as safe havens, so I understood.

Too bad little boy. You need to understand that reality comes to you whether you wanted to or not.

"S-shut up! Leave right now, or I'll call the police." He shouted, raising his hands up.

"Oh, I just want you to listen to my side of things. If you disagree afterwards, I'll even call the police myself. Here--"

Creeeeak.

I went to grab the Hypno Phone from my pocket when the floorboard groaned under my weight.

Hmm? This floor plank should be replac--

CRASH!

I fell.

"AAAAAAH!"

I don't know when, but suddenly the floor was up to my waist. No, I fell into the floorboard up to my stomach. I could feel the wooden splinters stab into my legs and stomach. The slammed my arms experienced when they hit the ground really hurt too.

Why? Why does it hurt?

"Akira-chan! Help--"

I looked up to see Akira-chan pointing a long gun at me.

Wait, that wasn't a gun--

Kouji POV

I ran as fast as I could, reaching Akira's house in record time.

The voice message he sent me was odd.

I mean, he said he needed me, but did he mean something else by it?

Maybe my new charm did get to him, but it was delayed?

I mean, he did seem angry when I tried to make some moves on Eri. Is he actually going to go for her now?

I jokingly (and maybe not so jokingly) tried to hit on Akira with some slow touches, but he pushed my hand away and then...

I could still feel his hand on my balls. Yeah, he was threatening to crash them, but his hand felt warm. I'm not ashamed to say I masturbated that night to a fantasy of Akira giving me a handjob.

"Yo, Akira, you there?" I shouted as I knocked on the door.

"Yeah, yeah come in." The door did that electric buzz a few times then clicked and I opened it. Akira really put electronics in everything, even the door. Although he said it also required someone to open it. Isn't that too much paranoia? Actually if someone hacked the door wouldn't they easily enter anyways? Akira said something about multiple electric and analog lock that work together, but I still say that's too much. "So, what is this emergency--HOLY FUCK IS THAT A DEAD BODY!?"

"Yep." Akira answer casually as he was attaching a hook to a harness on the fat dead guy, linked up to pulley by a rope. The pulley was attacked to another hook from the ceiling.

"...Is that a harpoon in his neck?" I went closer carefully.

"Yep." Akira was grinning as he spoke. He even did that popping the 'p' thing, that he said he found obnoxious.

Akira was checking all the equipment, and giving the rope a tug to see the pulley was working and holding on.

"...Did this guy do someth--"

"This is Kusanada Haroto. He's the bastard that fucked my aunt and caused my uncle to kill himself. He tried to the same to my mom three days ago, I forced him to leave, then made a trap for him, and now he's here." Akira said in a to-the-point voice and pushed me the rope. "I need your help to pull his fat ass out of the hole, so we can throw him in the sodium hydroxide bath I prepared, then clean and cover everything up."

"What?" This was a bit too fast, too much for me. Akira found the man who was responsible for ruining his uncle's life, and traumatized him, and killed him?

"Sodium hydroxide. Basically an acid tub, or rather plastic tub filled with acid. I custom made one a year ago as preparation for this day. Thankfully my measurements should more than cover this body. Don't worry, I got gloves and even a safety lab coat in your size."

"What?" Akira has been preparing for this day. And he included me?

...And I thought that he lost his will to fight?

He sighed in annoyance and pushed the rope to me again.

"Pull the bastard up, I'll get the cart to move him, so we can dissolve the body, and then hide all the evidence. Don't worry, I already prepared all the software to digitally erase his web footprint and will add data to make it look like he bought plane tickets and left the country." I gulped and took the rope. Akira nodded. "Now, let's get moving, we have five hours before my mom get home. We need to finish up quickly."

And so, the first time I went to my cute trap best friend's home since our first high school year began, was to melt a dead body and do home repair.
