“Wake up, wake up, WAKE UP!” 

Someone was shouting something but you were really comfy in your bed.

Maybe if you ignore them then they will shut up?

Probably.

Maybe.

Of course not.

They didn’t shut up, instead said someone started taking the covers away.

You were supposed to be in vacations so, why were they bothering you? You did all your stuff yesterday and you sure as hell had cleaned the dog’s poop.

So why weren’t they shutting up was a mistery and so you did what every other sane person who is wakened up at 5 am would have done.

“WHAT” 

“Don’t raise your voice against me! It’s late and you have to get to the fucking school so get up already!”

Wait, school? You finished it about a week ago.

What the hell?

 You uncovered yourself to look at your mom and properly explain her that school had already ended, hoping that she would leave you alone and maybe sleep another 5 hours. 

There was only one problem, now that you looked at her you noticed that this lady sure as fuck wasn’t your  mom.

 Okay think, a strange lady enters your house and tries to get you to school.

What the freaking fuck.

“What are you waiting for? Don’t look at me like that. Get up already!”   Better do what she says if you want to keep your life.

He, easier said than done.

Breathe.

Who knew if this woman had a weapon on her so you stood up and started looking around for the closet to change your pajamas. 

Oh shit.

This weren’t the shorts and t-shirt you went to sleep in, check that, this wasn’t your room because last she checked your room wasn’t big, that wasn’t your desk and you definitively didn’t paint your walls a green colour. So instead someone from your family decided to really prank you, this was just messed up.

Like really messed up 

Hi God, it’s me again.

“Took you long enough, your uniform is over that chair  if that’s what you are looking for” The lady seemed to have noticed you checking all over the room “Breakfast is ready and your dad is already eating so please hurry up”

Wait, your dad? 

You looked over to the chair and indeed there was an unmistakable uniform there, you looked for the closet at changed your clothes, it was weird considering you hadn’t worn one since Junior High and it had a some weird Japanese style but it fit and you really wanted to see your dad so…

Apparently this girl’s room had some bandanas and  hair clips and considering your hair was a mess you took 2 of them and one bandana as well as a rubber band.
One pair of shoes were equal to the ones at your real home so you took them.

Black flats, they never failed.

You got out of the room and closed the door behind you after looking for her phone, only to not find it, you explored the upper part of the house were you were currently being held and after some inspection you found the stairs and descended to what was supposed to be the first floor.

It was, in a word, pretty.

Your family was minimalist and while you liked their style this house had pretty ornaments that looked simple but nice.

Focus, you are looking for your dad.

“Dad!”

“I am inside the kitchen!”

Okay that definitively wasn’t the voice of your dad but better check before panicking.
Right?

As you entered the kitchen you found said man eating at a modest table, the food looked nice and  and your stomach rumbled. The only problem? This man wasn’t her father.

Yep, you weren’t panicking

Not at all.

Not. At. All. 

“There you are! You have no time for eating now, I know you are nervous about this new school specially because it’s another country but Japan is a good-“ you zoned out after that 

She was in Japan? Like Naruto, JoJo’s , Tokyo Ghoul Japan?

Good thing you took those Japanese classes in high school.

“- everything is going to be fine remember that no matter what your father en I will be proud, okay?”

You could only nod because your voice wasn’t really trustworthy right now.

It was not-dad time to speak apparently “Here is the map to the school, just follow the directions, they are simple enough” He smiled at her.

“You know” you must play along if you wanted to go out ”I wouldn’t need this map if you would just give my cellphone so that I could use Google maps” 

Some internet would be cool too.

They looked at you in confusion and you became uncomfortable “you know, Google Maps where you look for places?”

“Sweetie in all my life I have never heard of this Gugul maps”

“Haha, really funny it’s 2020 who doesn’t know about it?”Not mom spoke this time “you mean 1989?”

What the fuck.

“Haha yes 1989 well look at the hour, I better  get going err-good bye!”
“Wait! You are forgetting your backpack!” Not dad said.

Oh yeah, you were supposed to go to school.

He handed it to you as well as some folder with papers in it, for the school administration, you supposed.
You didn’t even look back as you took the map and some toast on the table before leaving through the door.

It couldn’t be Japan in 1989, right?

You looked at the map and tried to decipher a way to school while looking around Japanese structures. There were no electrical announces and the people had facial features completely different to hers, add that to the fact that she was 17 year old foreign girl looking around with no idea of what you were doing in freaking Japan.

You saw a man and decided to ask and confirm if you were really in the situation you believed.

“Excuse me sir, can you tell me the date” well that didn’t sound so bad, that classes definitively paid off even though you still had some accent haha.

The man looked at her up and down before looking away “Its -- -- 1989”

Oh shit.
“Ah thank you mister” 

You repeated That question to other people only to get the same answers.

Looks like you really were in Japan 1989.
Pros being in Japan.
Cons, you were in 1989.

You continued to look for the school while analyzing her situation.

You were like 30 years in the past in Japan in place you didn’t know, without your family, no cellphone and your favourite anime weren’t even done yet.

This must be a dream.

Well at least you got to practice your Japanese, right?

As you looked ahead you saw a group of girls practically drooling and surrounding a tall boy.

He, sucks to be him.

As you approached them you noticed that the girls' uniforms were just like hers and that the boy had an oddly familiar looking hair and uniform. 

Now that you thought about it he looked as if he was cosplaying Jotaro haha.

Did JoJo’s even exist right know? 

Probably if that boy had that uniform, hey he was even imitating the attitude and the girls were  other cosplayers.

Nice.

You must totally go and congratulate them for their work, because you were stuck in another country way back in time so..

Why not enjoy it?

“Hey sorry to bother but those are some sick costumes” You tried to sound as cool as you could but the only thing that you got were some weird looks from some girls.
Maybe it was her appearance?

Awkward .

“Yes because you are cosplaying JoJo’s right? Part 3?” Oh God don’t look at her like that.

 You were just trying okay?

“What do you want with JoJo?” One asked angrily“Yeah, who are you and what do you want?”

Great now these bunch of girls were bickering at you. 

“Calm down ladies, I was just trying to be nice”

Apparently the JoJo cosplayer had enough and looked their way.

Wow he really did look like Jotaro, he had blue eyes, was tall, really buff and shit the earrings and hat were fucking cool with that weird hat-hair thing, you had to toatlly ask him were did he buy it after the  girls shut up.

“Shut up bitches! You are so annoying”
Heh, just like the anime.

And of course the girls started fawning over him again, just like in the anime haha.

They were good actors.

Yeah.

You followed behind as they got down some stairs while looking at the surroundings when a sound gave away that the Jotaro-cosplayer fell down.

Oh shit.

You hurried down and tried to get close but couldn’t thanks to the bunch of girls, thank God he managed to not fall that hard because that was one ugly fall.

Just like in the anime.

Too bad the blood was real and you needed to perform some first aid.

You almost felt bad for ruining their play or whatever, almost because the wound was bleeding and you weren’t studying medicine for nothing, even if you were in first year.

“Get away!” they looked at you, err- maybe screaming wasn’t the best idea “I need to treat that one and if non of you know first aid please get the fuck away”

You were trying to get closer when a figure interrupted you.

Red hair, cherry earrings, green uniform and a freaking noodle hair.

In front of you were 178 cm of Kakyoin Noriaki and he was perfect.
He was cute.

“Are you injured?” inquired said cosplayer but your eyes couldn’t believe you.

“Kakyoin Noriaki?”
Said boy looked at you.

“Oh my God, your cosplay is so perfect! Was your hair died or something because it is awesome!” you would kill to have a camera with you right now .

“How do you know my name?” he was looking at you in confusion.

“Well you are cosplaying him, right?”

“Miss I assure you my name is Kakyoin Noriaki and I am not cosplaying anyone”

“Really funny bro, but you ain’t fooling me, you are cosplaying Kakyoin and you Jotaro, right?”

They looked at you in confusion or what you thought was confusion.

“My name is Kakyoin Noriaki and he is Kujo Jotaro, you say?”

Haha.

It couldn’t be, right?

RIGHT?

You couldn’t hear anything but the blood in your ears.

You already knew what was happening, the handkerchief and shit.

For some moments you were paralyzed, that was until someone bumped you .

“Move, bitch” Jotaro Kujo was looking at her in distaste and he looked mad.

God he is even more handsome from up close.

You didn’t know what to say so you opened and closed and closed your mouth for several times till you settled on the safest option, not saying anything

Apparently Kakyoin (she couldn’t believe it, Kakyoin but evil at the moment) had already left and and the girls too, weirded out by the display so only you remained there while Jotaro left.

You followed silently behind him and thought about everything.

This must be a dream.

And you were going to enjoy, after all it isn’t everyday that your dream takes you to JoJo’s universe.

Some of the people that may have passed you could have thought that you were sad but it was far from the truth.

Life suddenly seemed exciting and while you followed Jotaro to the nurse office you thought about an strategy .

You didn’t think that you would be able to see stands, you were normal girl after all but maybe you could use your knowledge of the anime to help them.

Oh yeah everything was coming together.
So without more doubts you stopped the nurse's door silently and waited for hell to unfold.

Chapter Text

Everything was a mess

And when you said everything, you ment everything.

But hey, at least you discovered that you could see stands, did that mean that you also had a stand?

It wasn’t likely but meh.

Returning to the point.

As you waited outside the nurse’s office for anything to happen Jotaro spotted you behind the door and gave you a glare that instead of scaring you made you smile.

So you just minded your own business till Kakyoin appeared, you had already decided that you couldn’t really interfere with these events because Kakyoin needed to have the flesh bud taken out and honestly you were curious about stands, the only thing you could really do was try to help the boy with the pen in his eye.

“AAAGH” The boy got out with the eye bleeding and to be honest it looked rather nasty.

You took your bandana and treated his eye as best as you could but it was still bleeding, so you calmed him as best as you could.

“Stay with him and don’t let him open his eyes.” You tried to sound stern you were actually pretty nervous, the other student looked skeptical. It wasn’t weird considering you were foreign with a thick accent but he didn’t complain.

You took a deep breath, stood up and proceeded to open the door slightly.
The room was a mess, as expected. Jotaro and Kakyoin were full of injuries but that wasn’t your priority now.

Star Platinum and Hierophant Green.

They were both there in front of you looking both ethereal and real at the same time and they exceeded one thing, power. As you watched their fight unfold you couldn’t help but wonder. Why were you seeing them.

How?

The fight finished with an outcome already known to you, Jotaro as the winner.
He was about to get out of the window with Kakyoin on his shoulder when your voice was heard. 

“Jotaro Kujo” 

He looked back with an annoyed expression so you waited till he recognised you. You took a step forward not intimidated by his display.

“How do you know my name” It was more a demand than a question but you couldn’t blame him after his fight. 

This was going to be so much fun.

“That is irrelevant” You tried to keep your expression as serious as you could but a smile threatened to form on your lips. “Right now you are carrying an injured boy on your shoulder while you yourself are injured”

He didn’t answer, instead he hardened his glare.

“Let me treat your wounds”

“No” So much for trying to help, this guy was making it difficult for you to make him stay as one of your favourite characters.

 Time for another strategy.

“Then” you looked at his pretty aquamarine eyes (they were really pretty, you  would die for eyes like that) “What were those things that were fighting? Why are you injured?”
Surprise shone in his eyes but he said nothing.

“It was this way!” A student's voice sounded at the distance. “That must be a the other student and a teacher so you better get the hell out of here”

Apparently he didn’t need to be told twice because he was already standing besides the window, you just needed to follow behind him without him noticing and get to his house.

“Come” 

What?
Was Jotaro fucking Kujo telling you to accompany him?
This dream was just getting better.

No, focus.

He was already out of the building so you decided to follow without a word. He was, after all, probably tired and carrying another student on the shoulder wasn’t easy.

Experience speaking.

About 10 minutes after exiting school you started to get nervous. How was she going to explain everything? She couldn’t as hell tell them about the fact that they were an anime in the real life, that would be just plain weird even for a dream.

“How do you know my name” That question again.

How were you supposed to explain that you confused him for a cosplayer?

Ah yes,the old act of feigning ignorance 

“Well, when I saw you that name just popped in my head and I couldn’t ignore it” Good good “The same happened with that boy” You looked at the shoulder in which Kakyoin was currently being held “I don’t know why but suddenly an image of you fighting and a boy with a bloody eye appeared in my mind and I decided that following you was the best course of action” 

Please buy it.

He let out a hum.

Apparently your explication was enough for him.

Phew.

You followed behind as you entered his house, scratch that , his state.
This thing was fucking big, she knew from the anime that it was pretty and big with Japanese style but Jesus this place must be about 20 houses the same size as yours put together.

You were really anxious and decided to try to calm yourself while looking at the garden.
Joseph Joestar was inquisitive and Avdol too. What if they didn’t believe her? What if they didn’t like her?

You needed to be on this trip, even is this was dream no boy or man was dying under your supervision.

You heard Jotaro speak to his mother and God  was she beautiful.

“Oh my Jotaro, you also brought a friend!” 
You decided to speak without Jotaro interfering this time “Hello Miss Holly, I am Jotaro's classmate and I he kindly let me come to speak with your father”

“Heh?”

Her face suddenly expressed confusion while maintaining that smile.

“Don’t interfere woman” Oh Jotaro, you better be good with her because you never know when can anything happen.

Holly visibly deflated but faked a smile for you.

“You look a bit pale, are you okay?” 

You couldn’t help but grin at this weird display of affection.

“Yeah, fine thank you!” She raised her hand and made a peace sign. How did this woman manage to get a son as Jotaro was a mistery to the whole fandom.

Jotaro nodded slightly and gout out of the room with you behind him while you waved at his mother goodbye.

She gave you a small smile and even though she still had confusion in her eyes she waved back.

What a nice woman, you felt bad knowing what was going to happen but seeing her smile only made you renew your spirits and bow to protect her.

You walked to the tearoom behind Jotaro and saw them.

Joseph Joestar and Muhammed Avdol.

You had a momentary internal crisis because you were in the same room as JOSEPH freaking JOESTAR.

Breathe in. 

Breathe out. 

You couldn’t afford to look as a crazy woman in front of these men so put on your best smile and walked to them. 

Please let Jotaro be smooth.

“Jiji, bitch. Bitch, Jiji”

Seriously, fuck you Jotaro.

 Joseph and Avdol looked at you and you gave them a small smile.

“Hello Mr Joestar, I need to speak to both of you but we have to attend urgent matters first” 

Jotaro placed Kakyoin in the floor while Joseph and Avdol gave him a look over.

“Well this is no good, he is done for. It is only a matter of days till he dies.”

Someone was supposedly dying in front of you but you couldn’t bring yourself to fake surprise.

“Jotaro this is not your fault, look at here” He signaled his forehead and you saw the flesh bud, it looked like nodules but with tentacles under it, nasty “The reason this masn swore loyalty to Dio and came to kill you, is right here!”

“What is that?!” Jotaro asked. “What the hell is that spider thing on his head?”

Was it weird that you wanted to touch the flesh bud? Better not try.

The conversation remained practically the same as the old one you knew with the only exception that sometimes Joseph and Jotaro looked at your expressions.

“Can’t we remove it?” Jotaro asked.

“The brain is too delicate, if he moved even a little during the extraction, it could cause permanent brain damage” 

“Jojo, Miss, the story I’m about to tell you both happened four months ago, I was in Cairo, Egypt…when I met Dio!” Enter dramatic pause “I am a fortune teller by trade, my shop is located in the souq Khan el-Khalili, it was the night of a full moon, I saw him standing quietly on the stairs leading up to the second floor of my shop. He gave me a cold gaze that felt as if it would pierce through my heart, his golden hair, his nearly transparent alabaster skin and his overwhelming presence made him seem unlike any normal man!”

Dio sounded like one handsome man but, even if you knew the outcome of this story the thought of meeting him scared you.

A lot.

“I knew immediately from Mr. Joestar’s description who it was, for it was unmistakably Dio!” Avdol looked really unnerved so Dio must have really left and impression on him “His words brought such peace to my soul,  they had a dangerous sweetness to them which was exactly what made him so terrifying!” he continued. “I ran for my life, I dare not even considered fighting him, I was incredibly fortunate because I realized that it was Dio, I was able to quickly escape by jumping from the closest window. I knew the winding streets of souq below me like the back of my hand, and so I was able to escape” Haunted, that was the word you were looking for to describe Avdol's expression.“I may have ended up like this young man, forced to be one of his followers by a flesh bud”

“And then you would have died a few years later, your brain completely devoured” 

Shivers ran down your spine. You had been taking this rather lightly compared to be danger you would be exposed.

“Died?” Jotaro questioned. “Wait just a minute, Kakyoin here, isn’t dead yet!” His stand star Platinum manifested as quickly as he spoke and you couldn’t help but marvel at it now that you looked at it up close, the anime didn’t make justice to it. 

“I’ll get it with my Stand!” 

“Wait, Jotaro!” Joseph exclaimed rather panicked but you interrupted him.

Even if you didn’t say anything you knew that Kakyoin was going to be saved but you were supposed to be useful and so spoke.

“Jotaro can remove it” Joseph looked at you with a crazed expression while furrowing his brows slightly. “He can do it and it isn’t just a feeling, I know for a fact that he can” 
You looked at him in the eye. 

“And how can you assure that?” Avdol asked.
Was she too rude? Maybe she should have just-

“Stand back! I can pull it out without doing any damage” Thank God for Jotaro’s timing.“My Stand has the precision to grab a moving bullet”.

“Stop! That flesh bud is still alive! Don’t you realize why part of the flesh bud is on the outside?! It’s why not even the best surgeon can extract it!”

“Please Joseph, I believe in him and I know for a fact he can do it” he looked at you suspiciously “I will explain everything later but now please let Jotaro do this” Finality was expressed in your voice and he closed his mouth.

Oh God, you had just spoken back to Joseph Joestar.

Fuck.

While you had that internal crisis, Jotaro started taking the flushbud out and it started to creep his way into his skin. It was weird but at the same time you couldn’t look away.

“Shit!”

“The flesh bud stabbed him with its tentacle! This is bad! Let go, Jojo!”

“No, he can do it and he will I am sure” You said with all the coincidence you could muster “And if he lets go it will anyways enter him so better continue with the extraction” You finished with a smile smile while looking at both, Joseph and Avdol.

Your heart fell to your stomach given the nasty looks you received but you kept your face solemn.

Noo she didn’t want to be in their bad side.

And that was the precise moment Kakyoin decided to wake up.

“Why…you…” He looked weak and his eyes weren’t focused at all but you had faith in Jotaro, you knew the outcome so why worry?

“Stay still, Kakyoin, your brain is done for if you move”  Avdol looked as if he wanted to say something but decided against it.

“My grandson is a strong man, he can do it, look his body isn’t trembling!” 

Finally Jotaro took it out and Avdol cheered.

“Overdrive!” You saw the Harmon as the flesh bud dissolved and couldn’t help the flutter of excitement in your chest.

Kakyoin made an effort to sit up but you put your hands on his chest slightly as if to stop him “Don’t, you will just end up hurting yourself more, okay?” you smiled but inside you were burning.

You just touched Kakyoin dhkahdjajak.

He looked at you in the eyes and reclined again exhaling softly.

“Why? Why did you risk your life to save me?

“ Who knows? If there is a reason I can’t tell”

And this dear fellas is the birth of a bromance.

“Now that we took care of the urgent matters” Joseph and Avdol looked at you and you couldn’t help but be intimidated by their stares “It is time for some introduction, right?”

Calm down.

“Oh yes!” but can you bring me some bandages to treat Kakyoin's wound? He looks rather hurt” You said sheepishly.

“My daughter Holly will take care of that” Joseph said calmly  while Holly entered and started treating Kakyoin.

Suddenly he grinned and you let out a breath you didn’t know you were holding.

“My name is Joseph Joestar and he” he signaled Avdol who gave you a smile “ Is Mohammed Avdol but you already knew that, right?”

Oh yes, you weren’t supposed to know their names considering they hadn’t introduced themselves.

Too much for secrecy.

Well it wasn’t supposedly a secret but how was she going to explain?

“Well” You began "first of all Good evening" dramatic pause "and yes, I already knew your names ”

“Could you elaborate?” Avdol asked gently.

“Well as you can see I am a foreign student and recently moved here” Good hero that going. “Today I woke up with a weird feeling and knowledge, images about you about battles and well I thought that everything was ahem- from an anime” 

“An anime” Joseph repeated and you had the decency to blush.

“When I saw Jotaro in the morning I confused him for a cosplayer” Joseph snickered, Avdol smiled and Jotaro well the look he was giving you was pretty neutral to say “So I called him out and congratulated  him and the girls around him about the cosplays but they gave me nasty looks hehe.”

“Jotaro, is this true?” Joseph asked with a grin but Jotaro only nodded.

Now he let a full laugh and you were happy that the ambience had gotten lighter.

“Then Jotaro fell from the stairs just like in the anime and I tried to treat his leg wound. When Kakyoin appeared I asked him the same questions and he uuh told me his name and assured me that he was who I claimed him to be, not a cosplay” You gulped “That was when I realized that you guys were real and not an anime and so I followed Jotaro to the nurse’s office” God that made you sound like a stalker “And if I was correct a fight between Jotaro and Kakyoin would unfold, I wasn’t sure if I could see stands so I maintained my distance and tried to give first aid to a student” 

Breathe in.

Breathe out

Everyone was looking at you.

“I helped him and peeked through the door seeing the end of the fight, I was actually surprised to see the stands considering I am just well, me” Wow, that sounded lame “ And Jotaro allowed me to come here and well here I am with some information about you and no stand” You stopped and gave them a big grin.

"I want to help you"

Chapter Text

For a moment the room was silent, with Holly's movements being the only sound that could be heard. Had you said something wrong? Maybe too much information?

Everything came out rushed and you wouldn’t blame them for not believing you, even if this was your dream.

“How do you plan to help?” the rumbling sound of Joseph's voice interrupted your thoughts.

“Right now we aren’t facing any foes and other than Kakyoin no other stand user has attacked us, so” His eyes focused on yours for some moments “where would we need your help? Is there any danger that we ignore? Will Dio come for us?” Avdol finished.

They don’t know.

You had spoken way too soon, they didn’t know of Holly’s stand nor that it was slowly killing her from within.

Shit.

“I assure you Mister Joestar that Dio isn’t coming personally for you, but still, what is about to come will be of his doing”

 When had the conversation turned so gloomy?

“And if we don’t do something, people may die”

Your eyes left Joseph’s and locked with Jotaro’s turquoise orbs as someone’s breath hitched, you couldn’t quite tell who though.

“There! You are all patched up” 

God bless Holly Kujo and her timing.

“You must stay the night though the streets are dangerous  for an injured person, even a big boy like you” Her cheery tone made everyone release the breath they were unconsciously holding.

“I don’t mean to intrude Miss Kujo” 

“Nonsense! Any classmate of Jotaro is welcome to stay and you may call me Seiko, that’s how my friend call me!” Kakyoin nodded and reclined again, tired from the entire endeavour.

“Papa, bring me a futon for Kakyoin” 

Joseph’s complains fell deaf in Holly’s ears as she turned to you with a big smile much to Jotaro’s apparent disdain.

 “Who wants some dinner?”
-

Dinner was as expected, delicious. Holly’s reputation wasn’t in vain given the way her food tasted and looked. No wonder it was Jotaro’s favourite food.

“This is amazing Miss Holly!” 

“You flatter me too much Mr. Avdol!”

“Nonsense! My Holly’s cooking is the best in the world right Jotaro?” Jotaro just huffed and continued to eat silently while giving you some glances from time to time making you rather tense.

The taste compensated it though.

“Don’t roll your eyes at your grandfather! even our guest is enjoying Holly’s cooking!” Said guest was currently distracted slurping noodles “Right?”

Oh, they were talking about you.

“Ah yes! The food is amazing, it may even become one of my favourites!”

“I can teach how to do it any  day little lady, any friend of Jotaro’s is welcome in the house!”

Apparently that was enough for Jotaro.“She isn’t my friend, stop making assumptions”

“Well then” Holly looked directly at you “How did you meet then? Tell me everything!”

“Well” you began “I am actually new to the school because I just moved here, today was supposed to be my first day but err- things happened and here I am!” A shame, really. You had always wanted to be in a Japanese school.

“I see” She hummed “Well then, visit us whenever yo like, now that you live here, it isn’t everyday that other foreigners move into the city!”

 Holly’s rambling continued and you couldn’t help your smile. The conversation continued on with you answering some questions and the occasional comment from Avdol or Joseph.
Soon everyone was done with the food and Holly started picking up the dishes.

“How can I help you Miss Seiko?” You tried to be polite because it was the least you could do for the amazing dinner. “There is no need sweetie!”

“Please Miss Seiko, it’s the least I can do and and I haven’t asked on how is the fish done” 
“Well then, here is the sink and as for the recipe…”

The conversation continued while the both of you cleaned, you found her a rather easy person to talk to , all things considered. You could hear Joseph and Avdol talking behind the door, probably waiting for you to answer some of their questions but Jotaro was nowhere to be seen.

By time you were done the clock siganled 11 o’clock so you either figured a way to return to your house admist the darkness or you stayed the night, hopefully the later.

“Oh no dear! I kept you here and now it is late at night” 

“It is fine Miss Seiko I can return to my house, I just need to find the m-“

“Nonsense. Jotaro, sweetie” As if on cue, Jotaro chose that exact moment to enter the kitchen “please prepare a Futon for her, she is staying the night” she looked at you somehow daring you to say something while maintaining a sweet face.

“Why is she staying, bitch” He may be one of your favourite characters but no one, no one must call their comthers a bitch. You glared at him.

“Well you see it is quite late an-“

“Her legs work fine”

“I can look for the futon myself Miss Seiko, thanks for your hospitality just tell me where to find it” You looked at her but she kept her gaze on Jotaro.

“Don’t worry sweetheart, Jotaro will do it. Right?” Her voice  could have passed as normal but that slight strain in the tone was the same as your mother’s.

Jotaro huffed and signaled you to follow him.
“I will lend you some pajamas later!” Holly’s voice sounded from the kitchen and you smiled.

What a nice woman.

“You should be kinder to your mom.” Jotaro ignored you “She is nice.”

“it doesn’t concern you” 

“I say this because something is going to happen to her”

Jotaro’s eyes opened like plates.

“What is going to happen to my daughter?” Joseph and Avdol came through the door startling the both of you.

“Mr Joestar, Mr Avdol!”

“Is the future somehow connected to miss Holly?”

You inhaled and exhaled. How can you tell some that his daughter/mother was dying?

“It is Miss Holly’s stand” you began  “it is hurting her from within” Joseph's breath hitched “It hasn’t gotten bad but it will, later”

Joseph and Jotaro were silent and portrayed an stern expression. You couldn’t help but compare the likeness between the 2 of them, the resemblance was amazing.

“When is it starting?” Avdol asked softly, probably in response to his companions silence.

“Tomorrow”

The silence prolonged a bit longer till a voice interrupted it.

“Well, we will take care of it tomorrow. Right now it is too late to make any kind of decision and we need to rest” somehow Joseph’s words didn’t surprise you, he probably was too in shock, tired or skeptical to do anything at the moment. Resting was your only option.

You have them a small smile“Well then, goodnight Mr Joestar, Avdol have a nice rest”  
Joseph and Avdol departed to their rooms and left you behind with Jotaro. “We will save her” It was no more than a whisper but Joseph turned to look at you and smiled for some moments before leaving the room.

Meanwhile, Jotaro was taking what you supposed was the futon out of the closet. You had never actually slept in a futon but it couldn’t be as sleeping on the floor and even if it was you quite enjoyed sleeping there.

It was weird, the dream, it was. It was the realest dream you had ever had but well at least you got to meet your anime characters.Too bad it was probably ending when you went to sleep.

“Woman” You were abruptly departed from your thoughts and saw Jotaro standing by the door, probably waiting for you to move.

“Oh yes,sorry I kinda spaced out.”

“Good grief” 

You continued walking in silence, both of you giving glances to the other. Jotaro’s was as neutral as always and probably laced with suspicion but you couldn’t really do anything about it.

As you entered the room you noticed some clothes over a small desk and a note in them, they were your supposed pajamas and being honest they were nice even if the top would be too big.

Meh big is comfier.

Jotaro left the futon on the floor and looked at you, well more like glared at you but, who were you to know?

“Is it true” Again with the questions as statements.

“You know when you ask a question it usually sounds like a question” 

He huffed “Answer”

“Yes it is” You sighed “What would I win lying?” 

He grumbled a Good grief and opened the door. He was probably as shocked as you were, after all you were still a stranger who suddenly told him that  his mother was supposedly dying.

Fuck.

“You are going to save your mother Jotaro, I know it.” You just hoped your words served to to make him hate to less or at the very least have faith in his mother.

He gave you one last look and closed the door.

After changing into the pajamas, removing your hairclips and folding your uniform you couldn’t help but wonder.

The day was good even if it was just a dream. You closed your eyes and yawned waiting for sleep to take you.

After some time your brain eventually shut up.
-

The sun rays woke you up.

What a weird dream.

Well you didn’t have to wake up early, you were in vacations after all. You thought about telling your brother about the dream but decided against it, it was morning and you could sleep more.

You were started to lose consciousness when a cheery voice woke you up.
“Hey sweetie, you must wake up for school!”

Uh, it almost sounded like Holly.

Wait a minute.

You opened your eyes reluctantly and noticed that you were sleeping on a futon, on the floor.

Ah.

You focused your eyes on Holly’s and gave her a groggy smile.“Thank you, I will get ready”

You put on your uniform absentmindedly and got out of the room while playing with your hair.

Can someone sleep inside a dream? Can someone even dream inside a dream?

Well  whatever, now wasn’t the time for an outburst. As you made your way to the kitchen you spotted Jotaro getting out of what you supposed, was his room. He didn’t seem to have seen you.

“Jotaro!” He turned to look at you and narrowed his eyes.
“Your mother must be in the kitchen.”

In the kitchen you saw Holly  panting, leaning on the table. As soon as she saw though she straightened and recovered her composure ridiculously fast.

“Hello Jotaro! You came to give a good bye kissy to mommy?” She saw you. “Oh sweetie! Good Morning! How did you sleep?”

Behind you, Jotaro gritted his fists. “Good grief”

“Uh honey, did you say something?” She stilled but Jotaro didn’t notice.

“Shut up woman, you are annoying” 

Holly’s eyes took a faraway look. She was going to faint. You ran behind her just in time as she fell to the kitchen floor. Little vines could be seen from under her blouse.

Avdol entered the kitchen soon after that with Joseph in tow.

As expected, Joseph got angry and you watched him mourn the only difference was that he didn’t punch Jotaro this time around. 

“Somehow, I had hoped that you were lying,but you were right”

You laid Holly gently on the floor and Joseph lifted her to another room where he placed her on a futon. He took her temperature and she had a fever, just as expected. 

It was Jotaro who broke the silence. 

“How can we save her?”

“It was thanks to Dio that her stand manifested” Avdol said “The only way to save her is to kill him”

Joseph looked at you and grinned “Your next words will be 'I know were Dio is'”

“I know where Dio is”

Ah.

Had you just fallen victim to part 2 Joseph’s catch frase?

You blushed slightly.

“Err- Yes as I was saying I know where Dio is” You turned to Avdol “Yesterday, Mr Avdol said that he encountered him in Egypt and well he hasn’t changed his location”

You put on the most serious face you had, it was kind of difficult considering that you were dying of excitement but well, at least you tried.

“Dio is in Egypt” Jotaro eyed you suspiciously.

“Bitch, are you trying to fool us?”

You hummed, their suspicions were natural but you couldn’t help but feel slightly offended.

“Mr Joestar the photo of Dio that you have with you has a fly in the background. That fly is only found in Cairo, Egypt. Jotaro’s stand can confirm it and look for the fly in a book” Maybe that will ease them a bit.

Joseph took the photo out and Star Platinum manifested, his powerful body looking at the photo, drawing it with same precision that you saw him use to remove the flesh bud only to retreat after being done. 

Wow.

Avdol recognised the fly and agreed with you, it was indeed an Egyptian fly.

Of course Kakyoin took that exact moment to appear.

What was up with JoJo characters and their perfect timing?

He looked slightly significantly less shity than the day before but still had some bandages. Kakyoin's story confirmed what you already new and you couldn’t help but smile smugly. 

Take that Jotaro. 

Said man narrowed his eyes at you after seeing you smile.

“We must head to Egypt at once! My daughter’s life is in danger and we must depart to Egypt at the moment!” 

“Let me join you” Ah yes Kakyoin’s speech about his not crush on Holly “Mr Holly is the kind of woman that I would like to protect…”

They agreed on Kakyoin joining and that left you.

“I would also like to join” Everyone looked slightly surprised.

“But-”

“I know I am not powerful as you guys but” you gulped “I don’t want anyone to die and I know my knowledge will help you to prevent those deaths. I don’t know if I have a stand hell, I don’t think that I have a stand but I know first aid and I think I may be of use to you, after all Ms Seiko’s kindness is amazing and you have better chances at winning if you know what is about to come”

Wow that was kind of long.

“I was actually planning on asking you to come along” Joseph grinned at you “The information you have may be of use to us but we need you to share it”

“Well-“

Wait.

Dio somehow knew of the Joestar's ubication and he sent stands to intercept at specific points. He watched them.

You took your decision.

“I am afraid I can Mr Joestar” Their face expressed confusion.

“Kakyoin, how did you know where to find Jotaro?”

Yes.

“Dio has been watching you Mr Joestar, Jotaro and I am afraid that I can’t tell without risking everything, I may tell you when the time comes but I think it is safer this way.”

“That has sense, actually” Thank you Avdol.
Joseph sighed and  straightened, offering you a grin filled with confidence.

“Well! Let’s go to Egypt!”

Everyone but you left the room.

“Mr Joestar, can you stay for a moment?” He looked at you “Yes,what’s up?”

“Please close the door” 

“I don’t think that Dio can watch both  Joestars at the time so I chose you because you are the adult here.” You sighed “When you call the speedwagon foundation please tell them to choose a flight after the one they had planned, please.”

He considered it for a moment and finally agreed.

“I will, don’t worry!” as both of you were about to depart he spoke without looking at you “Thank you, for helping us”

You felt flustered and blushed. 

Why were the men in this freaking story so handsome?

“Ah, it is nothing Mr Joestar now I gotta err- leave to tell my parents yes that is it, It will only take me about an hour please wait haha well good bye!”

The tell your not-parents thing was something that you thought thanks to the situation but the idea was actually a good one. Bad thing you didn’t know how to get to your house. Maybe you could ask Kakyoin or Jotaro? 

Err not Jotaro, he wil l probably say no.
You went to the room you slept in and took your things, thank God the map was there.
You decided to check on Miss Holly before leaving, she was asleep but looked troubled.
After exiting you saw Kakyoin and Jotaro besides each other 

Cute.

“Err, Hello!” It was your first time speaking with them about things that weren’t related about stands. They turned to you and you had to look up.

Why was everyone so tall?

“Well, I need to go to my house for some clothes and I was thinking that maybe you could accompany me? Because I am new? I have a map but I don’t know how to read it haha.”

Smooth.

“Go by yourself, bitch” 

That was it, he may be handsome and cool and edgy but you wouldn’t have him treating you like that.

Was it because you were a girl? Well fuck it.

“Ah? And who are you to call me bitch, bitch?”

Ha, take that. 

Jotaro’s expression changed from angry to angry and slightly confused, he probay wasn’t used to people speaking back.

“What were you saying about getting to your house?” Kakyoin interrupted before things could escalate.

“Oh yes” You took the map out “I want to get to my house but I don’t really know how”

“Well then, I will accompany you”

“Thank you!”

Jotaro just huffed and retreated, probably to look for Joseph.

While silence was okay, you wanted to know more about Kakyoin, his character was always one you found interesting and having him here made it better.

“So, you like art right?”

“Ah, yes”

“That is cool, I draw sometimes and like to paint with watercolor but I am not that good though”

“Really? I like more  painting with acrilic, it helps…” 
He knew a lot about technique and even gave you some tips, finally you arrived to not-parents house, there was a car in the front so there was probably someone in the house, they must be worried.

You felt kinda bad about them but at the same time they weren’t your family and you didn’t want half of the crusaders to die.
Now, how to go to the second floor without being seen.

“Kakyoin?”

“Oh, yes?”

“Well I don’t think my parents will take my leaving lightly nor will they allow me so I planned to take some clothes and leave a note.”

“I see, but there is someone in the house right?”

“Yep, so I kinda wanted to know if you, well…”

“You want me to help you to the second floor, I am sorry but even if I am tall I don’t think I can lift you that up” he gave you a small smile “Unless I do so with my Hierophant Green”

He manifested the stand and you looked at it in awe, it was shiny and the color was kind of like a melon but it was pretty cool.

“Wow”
“Are you ready?” 
“Yeah” 

Your brain wasn’t really functioning at the moment.

In a swift movement his stand lifted you and you entered through the window. You took a notebook and wrote a note there explaining as well as you could the situation without the supernatural part. You took a backpack and stored some clothes.

From the window, Hierophant watched you and as soon as you were done you took his hand.

“Take me down, please.”

He watched you for some moments and descended, Kakyoin waiting for you. You thanked him as you got down.

“It is weird you know?”

“What?”

“I am so used to people not seeing my stand that the idea of everyone suddenly seeing him is weird”

“Well, I don’t really have a stand so I wouldn’t know what you feel but if it helps he is rather cool, still looks like a shiny melon though”

He groaned “Why did Jotaro say that?”

The return to the Kujo manor passed fast and soon you saw Avdol, Joseph and Jotaro waiting for you as well as some Speedwagon vehicles.

Joseph grinned.

“Let’s go to Egypt!”

Chapter Text

The trip to the airport was pretty normal.

But still, Japan was a foreign country and you marveled at everything you passed, the buildings, the people the way of dressing, everything was different! You had always been the kind of person to admire different cultures and while the first time you went out you weren’t really there at all, now was the perfect moment to admire Japan.

At your amazement, Kakyoin tried to explain some information about some buildings' history and you tried to catch as much as you could. Somehow you felt at ease around him.

“I still don’t get what is so great about Japan though” 

Of course, Joseph.

Avdol explained as best as he could the importance of learning about other cultures with Kakyoin's backup. Jotaro the asocial he was, just murmured something to himself and lowered the brim of his hat.

Walking through the airport was an experience itself and you followed the group as Joseph guided.

You accelerated your steps till you were side by side, there was something eating you from the insides.

“Did you  change the plane Mr Joestar?”

He looked at you and waved his hand “Yes Missy, don’t worry about it!”

You sighed. He had supposedly changed planes but what if you confronted the stand? So far you hadn’t seen the old man with the stand but you didn’t want relax just yet.

Well now, as you made your way inside the plane, was too late for that kind of thoughts. 

“Uh?”

“As I was saying, Mr Joestar and I will sit together while you 3 will sit in front of us”

As you were about to sit down, Kakyoin slipped past you and took the window's sit.“Excuse me Kakyoin but, may I know the reason of why are you on my sit?”

“I am sorry but I already took the sit and we don’t want to bother Jotaro right?” 

When had Jotaro sat down? 

You wanted the window’s sit because the begining always made you quite unease and watching the plane ascend helped. 

But you weren’t saying that.

“Why don’t we play rock paper scissors? It will-“

“Good grief woman, sit down and shut up”

“Why you-“

“As much as I enjoy your bickering, the attendants have already started to give indications” Joseph spoke giving you with a sly look.

Shit,  you didn’t even get to see if the stand user was in between the people.

You sighed and sat down between the both of them, it was probably for the best because you were the smaller and you fit in the middle sit. You murmured a sorry and fastened your belt.

Jotaro was looking at you. Somehow the idea of being in the same universe at this guy’s  hadn’t been grasped completely in your head and sometimes you found yourself blushing. You turned to look at him.

“Am I or do I look like?” 

His expression turned slightly different and you assumed that he didn’t understand.
“You-“

The attendant's voice announcing the takeoff of the plane interrupted you and you felt as the plane elevated, the cities outside the window looking smaller and the uneasiness in your stomach feeling bigger leaving you speechless.

“Still not used to it?”

“Ah- uhm no, I have traveled by airplane before but everytime it feels this way, it is weird considering I have jumped from waterfalls in my country or that cheerleading baskets are more dange-“ you noticed that you were starting to speak faster, an habit that appeared when excited or nervous and took a calming breath “ no, I am not used to it”

Kakyoin looked amused and you could almost feel Jotaro rolling his eyes.

“That is fine though, I used to travel a lot and I still feel uneasy sometimes, what were you talking about?"

“Well I used to be a cheerleader back in my country but contrary to popular believes we made gymnastics (well not me I suck) and loads, not just dances and shit. But that is enough about me, tell my about Hierophant Green's abilities”.

Kakyoin’s eyes got excited  and he started talking about him. Somehow you knew that Jotaro was listening behind you, for having such a faraway look he indeed was perceiving. After some minutes Kakyoin’s voice lulled you to sleep.

-
You woke up to someone’s shout and immediately noticed the worst. Apparently the tower was in the airplane and for some childish display it slipped past you.

Shit. 

“Jotaro, watch out!”

Jotaro had his  stand out and tried to fight the beetle, the 5 of you getting out of your sits fastly.

Your heart was beating fast in your chest and while you knew you were safe you didn’t want more deaths so you took what at the moment you thought was the best course of action.

“Mr Joestar!” He looked at you just as the old man appeared and even attacked himself to look conceiving..

'The old man is the stand user, don’t fall for his games' You just hoped that he understood and after a nod from him you left to the cabin.

The stench of blood was as horrible as you remembered threatening to bring back awful memories but you forced them back, the pilots had their tongues ripped out and it seriously wasn’t the time. The sight was gruesome.

You gulped and elevated your blouse to cover your nose.

Fuck it.

They still had pulse, breathed and hadn’t  chocked on their blood so they were still alive. They were bleeding and probably had hypovolemic shock, but they were among the living.

You took them out of the sits and onto the plane’s floor, you raised their legs as best as you could and waited.

Joseph entered the cabin quickly with the rest behind him. Apparently Joseph told Kakyoin and he made a quick job of leaving the man unconscious.

As you explained the situation you felt the weight of Jotaro’s glare on you and you couldn’t blame him.

You could have prevented this if only had you been more careful.
So much for being useful uh.

Joseph as expected took control of the plane and you monitored the pilots vital signs, at least they were alive.

“Aaah!!” the attendants scream snapped you out of your trance.

“You are professionals act like it!” 

Jotaro, the lady’s man. And of course Kakyoin apologized for him while you stood up.

“Do you have a first aid kit?” They nodded at you.

“Well, bring it! People got injured and please contact the nearest airport” They left quickly and only one returned short after that with the first aid kit.

You covered the pilots and sat on the floor, grimacing.

Useless.

Dio even found them after changing planes.
As soon as you got to Hong Kong you needed to speak with Joseph and Avdol to change strategies, if you remembered correctly Jonathan's stand which Dio had in his possession was the same type as Joesph's so you needed to know his limitations to know what was the best course of action.

“Hey Missy” You looked up and locked eyes with Kakyoin. “Are you okay?”

Why had everyone taken to call you Missy?

“Yes, I am fine don’t worry haha” His eyes moved to your blouse and he lifted an eyebrow, it was full of blood. 

Oh.

“It is fine, the pilots are in shock and there is not much we can do, the blood is theirs by the way” you thought for some moments “Is any of you injured?”

He smiked softly and showed you his arms, they had a nasty scratch probably from defense. “Jotaro is also injured so you might want to take a look at him”.

“I will but please lend me your arms.”

A part of your brain was turning into mush because you were touching Kakyoin’s arm but the rational part was trying to focus.

You hummed and made a quick job of desifecting the injury and bandaging it while he hissed. How did this men even treat his wounds in the anime was a mistery for you but they must have had some ugly scars.

Especially Jotaro.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

“Jojo, good thing you came we were just talking about you!” He narrowed his eyes probably suspecting something about Kakyoin and you.

“Yes Jojo, please take a sit” the name tasted foreign in your tongue but you proceeded. “Lend me your arm”

He made no movement.

For the love of God.

“If we don’t treat your injury it may get infected and you may not be able to continue traveling” you smirked “just for a small infection that could have been prevented”

He stilled.

Apparently that convinced him because he lowered and lend you his arm. “Can you please remove your jacket? Hey hey don’t give that look it is in the way so either that or I cut it”

He removed slowly while his eyes were still on yours and you had to will a blush down.

His injury was also treated rather fast and you bandaged it humming an old song.
“There! All done” 

He moved to stand up and you tsked, he could have at least thanked you.

Well whatever, you already knew that he was the handsome broody type after watching the anime so it didn’t really surprise you.

“Thanks” His voice was low but you still catched it.

“Uh, what was that I heard?” Of course you heard but you wanted to tease him.

“Don’t push it woman” 

“Ah whatever, who even needs your thanks at least Kakyoin has some form of basic education” Speaking of Kakyoin, he had somehow slipped somewhere in the conversation.

Maybe Hierophant's sneakiness was indeed a trait of the guy.

He huffed and you cleaned your hands on your blouse, it was already full of blood and you needed to change it so, what was a bit more blood?

At least your skirt remained relatively clean.

You went to the restroom, smeared of blood by the way, and changed your blouse to your other one, deciding to clean it in Hong Kong.

As you returned to the cabin you spotted Jotaro and Kakyoin speaking, they seemed to be buddies already, well Kakyoin, Jotaro looked as stuck up as ever. 

You returned to the cabin and spotted Joseph with Avdol.

After checking on the pilots' condition you stood awkwardly for a moment and decided to close the door behind you.

“Mr Joestar, Avdol. Can we talk?”

Chapter Text

Joseph took care of everything just as you arrived at Hong Kong.

The buildings were beautiful and you somehow found yourself being dragged from side to side sometimes receiving funny glances. Well, your group consisted of 3 buff men,  Kakyoin wasn’t really buff but he was still captivating. You still looked different from those girls though, not better just different.

Whatever.

You probably would have enjoyed the ambience more if the guilt wasn’t gnawing you from the insides. While you prevented some injuries,  those pilots were injured for your mistake.

You still felt bad for the hot cola vendor though and so, you made a note to return later and buy him something.

As expected Joseph dragged you to the restaurant and you sat down while you waited for the tea. The table was a tad bit small for all of you but you somehow fit.

Avdol kept giving you side glances and you smiled back at him.

Finally some tea arrived and as much as you wanted to taste it, you decided to make your announce.

“A stand user is going to approach us in some moments.” 

Everyone’s eyes turned like plates.“He is a specialist in swordsmanship and has a flesh bud implanted in his forehead” You drank some tea. “Please try to act normal around him as soon as he arrives and wait for him to make his move.”

Kakyoin broke the tension when he uncovered the teapot and you let a sigh.

“This is how you signal that you want more tea” a waitress approached and you couldn’t help but admire her looks her dress was so pretty and she totally nailed it.

“And this is how you signal thanks” Kakyoin tapped the table 2 times and the waitress smiled 

“Wow” Jotaro looked quizzically at you, or at least you thought it looked that way. “She is super pretty you know? And her hair was cute so you can’t blame me for appreciating her beauty” He scoffed and looked away.

Well his lose.

Just as if on cue you saw Polnareff approach you.

His hair was as tall as you imagined it and he was buff, his outfit doing nothing to cover it 
The worse part was that couldn’t even force yourself to look away, Polnareff was well so him and your eyes were practically glued to his form.

As you recovered your senses you noticed that he was speaking and that everyone’s eyes were on you.

Talk about uncomfortable.

“-at would you recommend ma cherie?”

He was probably asking you what to eat and had just  called you a sweetheart. Your cheeks felt ready to combust but you tried to keep it cool.

Tried.

“I am sorry sir but I don’t really know about Hong Kong’s food but here” you signaled Joseph “this man though,  knows a lot about it” 

“I see you aren’t just pretty but-“

“Go away, you are annoying” Jotaro was scowling. Well you had told him to act naturally and he was doing so.

Joseph deemed that his moment to intervene and get Kakyoin, Avdol and you out of your stupor.

“My my Jotaro, don’t be so mean! Please sit with us gentleman!” he moved and Polnareff somehow made himself a seat around the table making you end up being squeezing between Kakyoin and Jotaro, your shoulders touching.

You gulped.

Oh God.

The waitress appeared again and Joseph ordered some food. 

The food came relatively fast and frankly it looked weird but meh you were hungry so might as well eat till Polnareff makes his move.

The taste was a surprise though, it was delicious and everyone agreed.

“You know madmoiselle” oh so it must be that moment “This star reminds me of someone with the same star shaped mark”
Everyone put themselves on guard and you knew what was coming but as much as you wanted to see silver chariot, it would be sad if the food was thrown around so you interrupted him.

“Really Mr Polnareff? Who is this man!” the dreamy tone served to distract them a moment and you grinned “Heh just kidding, please don’t attack in here the food is too precious to be lost”.

"Uh?"

Now if you cheeks could only stop feeling so warm.

“Please let us take this outside” you stood with a plate on your hand and made your way to the exit.

You just hoped that they followed you, if they didn’t it would be super embarrassing.

Thankfully you heard footsteps behind you.

“And how would you know that I was going to attack belle femme?” While the invasion of your personal didn’t really bother you, this Polnareff was under the influence of a flesh bud and you didn’t know what he was capable of.

Even if this was  Polnareff, you better took precautions.

Pivoting around him you found yourself besides Avdol careful to not drop your plate.
“Would you believe me if I said intuition?”

He grinned confidently as you exited the restaurant “Well well, let it be that way, I will make you tell me later”

Jotaro took a step forward but Avdol tsked.
“I will take care of it”

“Very well then, I know the perfect place”

You followed behind him for some minutes while holding the food, taking a bit from time to time.

“You seem awfully composed Missy” you swallowed what was on you mouth and turned up to see Joseph “Well, I already know the outcome, I just hope that it ends up that way, if not Jotaro can win.”

Said Jotaro only gave you a side glance.
Joseph grinned “I am glad you have faith in my grandson”.

Was that some kind off joke?

You shrugged 

“We are here”

The fight transcurred and you couldn’t help but marvel at their stands, again. Magician’s Red power was amazing and the flames sure looked hot. How did they work? Where did they come from? What was the mistery behind the stands? You didn’t now.

Silver chariot exceeded in velocity and he looked as shiny as a new sword but still Magician’s Red fire managed to get the upper hand and it seemed that he won but you knew better.

Time for the chariot shadow clones.

As the fight progressed you noticed something.
In the anime they always portrayed Polnareff like a buffon which even if he may be, he was noble at heart.

You finished the dish as the fight ended, Avdol as the winner and Jotaro taking out the flesh bud.

As Polnareff departed and the group returned to the restaurant you couldn’t really escape one thought.

“Mr Joestar” He turned to you and hummed “You use Hamon right? And it kills vampires?”

“Oh I am glad you asked! Finally someone shows interest in my Hamon abilities, ah to be young again.”

“Shut up Jiji”

You interrupted before Joseph could answer Jotaro “Well” this was a doubt that you had always had “Can Jotaro also use Hamon? It is just that your grandfather could use it and, well I don’t really know”

“Uh?”

Jotaro murmured his catchphrase and lowered the brim of his hat.

“Mr Joestar, sorry to interrupt but, can you explain me what is this Hamon?” Had Kakyoin thought that it was part of Joseph’s stand.

Heh, funny.

“Hamon is energy similar to the sun rays that comes from the respiration.” Joseph recited with his eyes closed “And I don’t really know if Jotaro can use it, wanna try Jotaro?”

“No”

“Aww, why not? It doesn’t have the he know maybe another day everyone can try to use it even you Kakyoin, Missy”

“Good grief”

“That would be awesome Mr Joestar”

After Joseph payed for the dishes the crusaders followed him to were you were supposed to stay the night.

Uh, turns out they did stay the night there 
Standing in the reception you couldn’t believe yourself.

“It will be 3 rooms, please”

Oh no.

“Mr Joestar” you interrupted him “I can share, there is no need for 3 rooms haha”

“Nonsense! You are a lady and so you must have your own room”

Avdol, Jotaro and Kakyoin were watching from the sidelines.

“Mr Joestar I came to this trip knowing the dangers okay? Rooming with 2 people won’t make me impure or something and if it serves I have camped with friends before, males and females” You finished with a forced smile.

Sometimes you forgot that you were in the 80s and being a girl, travelling with men or worse rooming with them wasn’t seen as good, hell even in your time. But you didn’t really want to sleep alone in a room unknown to you and paying that amount for something unnecessary was ridiculous.

“Well then, only 2 rooms”

The receptionist gave him the keys and you all went to the elevators in silence. It wasn’t till  you got to the 3rd floor and stepped out that reality hit you.

“Who is staying with who?” Avdol asked and looked at you expectantly.

“Jotaro and I can room together because we are students” 

“Well then I will sleep with Mr Joestar, that leaves you Missy”

And all eyes were on you.

Ah.

“I will sleep with Jotaro and Kakyoin, I am also a student so there should be no problem okay?”

Joseph laughed “Well now that we have decided, I will go to my room with Avdol you may order room service but no funny business, just remember that we will leave tomorrow morning okay?”

They departed and Avdol waved to you.
Jotaro looked at you suspiciously and tsked. While Kakyoin just looked to the wall, suddenly finding it interesting so you felt the need to elaborate.

“Look don’t get any ideas I know for a fact that Mr Joestar snores super loud. I won’t bother you at all.” You gave them a soft smile “Okay?”

“Whatever”

“It is ah fine, it was just” Kakyoin looked away “unexpected”

You entered the room, there were 2 bed and a sofa, a standard room but it was still pretty big and had a bathtub that you were obviously going to use.

Jotaro walked ahead and sat in a bed taking out a cigarette and ignoring the world.

An idea got to your mind “Well then Kakyoin, turns out that we will have to share the bed, don’t worry I won’t snore haha” you winked, hoping that he catched the joke.

His ears got red “Ah, you may have the bed I can sleep in the floor.”

He didn’t get it and now you had to will down a blush.

Shit.

“I was just kidding Kakyoin, I can fit fine on the sofa so you may sleep on the bed” He looked slightly conflicted but after some moments he agreed and went to the bed.

You went to the sofa and turned on the old TV, looking for some music channel or something to hear.

Kakyoin didn’t seem to mind and Jotaro looked as if he didn’t care. Still you placed the TV at low volume.

After finding one, you were pleased that you actually knew some of the songs, and started passing your hands through your hair.
“I am taking a bath.”

You took your backpack and closed the door of the bathroom without waiting for an answer. 

As you entered the bathtub the conversation with Avdol and Joseph replayed in your head.
At the end you had agreed that in order to not risk changing the story and seeing that stand users would anyways find the group,  you may tell them about the stand's hability just before they appeared, hence the thing with Polnareff.

It seemed like the best course of action but if anything happened there was always room to change it.

You started humming a song to distract yourself and then began singing, you were in the bathroom after all.

If they didn’t like it they could knock or tell you but for the time being you may as well sing.

After some time you eventually rinsed and showered.

When you got out of the bath in your shorts and some t shirt, you saw Jotaro looking at the room service thingy with Kakyoin on the phone.

“Yes, that will b-“ Kakyoin spotted you “Hey! Do you want to order anything for dinner?”

You approached Jotaro’s bed and while he gave you a distasteful look, he said nothing and even moved the menu so that you could read, well that may or may not be your imagination but who cares.

“I want a vanilla milkshake please” 

After Kakyoin told them he hang up and silence filled the room.

May as well try to strike a conversation.

Oh yes.

“Jotaro” he didn’t even acknowledge you “you like the ocean right?”

He turned to you rather fast.

“Yes”

“Really JoJo I didn’t know?”

The conversation continued as you waited for your food with Jotaro answering longer words than monosyllabics and even explaining some things on his own.

It was cool.

Nice.

 When the food arrived, it was you who went for it at the door where may have or may have not received weird looks from the worker.

The food went silently and you became sleepy.

“Well, good night guys” Another goodnight and a grunt answered you.

After taking a cover from the closet you went to the sofa as Kakyoin entered the bathroom, probably to shower.

Sleep overtook you without trouble and you lost consciousness.
-
The next morning you woke up to movement and saw Jotaro getting out of the bathroom.
Everything would have been fine if he just had a shirt on.

Might as well die.

You composed and you saw him looking at you, noticing that you were awake already.

“Good Morning Jotaro” you said in a groggy voice. He just nodded as you woke up and went to change  your clothes in the bathroom.

As you got out you noticed that Kakyoin was already awake in his famous stripped pajamas.

Cute.

The rest passed rather fast with Joseph coming, grabbing a quick breakfast and getting to the docks where Polnareff was probably waiting for the group.

Now if Joseph could only stop looking at the 3 of you from time to time.

As you wandered through the place you spotted Polanerff and he approached you. And he introduced himself, again.

Even though you already knew what happened to his sister you couldn’t help but retain the tears that threatened to spill from your eyes, old memories coming forth.

You took a deep breath and sighed.

A hand grasping your shoulder snapped you out of your thoughts. “What do you think Missy?”

Shit, you had zoned out.

Again.

“May I join your voyage belle femme?” He was grasping your hands.

You were used to physical contact, you were quite affectionate with your friends so the contact didn’t make you uncomfortable, hell everyone greeted each other warmly back at your time.

But this Polnareff.

You ungrasped his hands and gave him a thumbs up “Err yeah, no problem”

He grinned a kissed the back of your hand, you only gave him a forced smile in return.

Because what is one supposed to make when an anime character does that?

Returning to Kakyoin’s side you saw as the girls approached Jotaro only to be rejected by him rather harshly so you scowled at him. Polnareff, of course took their photos complimenting them.

“His personality changed completely”

“You have no idea”

As you saw the boat approach you saw Avdol looking at you and you nodded.

“Jotaro” He looked your way “Can you help me?  I lost my headband and I need help to find it before the boat arrives”

“Good grief, go by yourself”

“Jotaro” Joseph looked his way “Go help Missy, the boat is about to arrive”

Again the stupid Missy thing.

Jotaro lowered the brim of his hat and looked your way expectantly. “This way”
As you deemed that you were at a safe distance from the boat you saw him to the eyes.

“The captain of that boat is the stand” His eyes opened slightly probably not expecting enemies so soon. “His stand moves in the water and it is fast, it also releases his scales and they are rather sharp, being able to cut skin easily”

“And why are you telling me woman?” 

“This is your fight and you get injured and won only by a bit” Jotaro lowered the brim of his hat. “The boat is supposed to get destroyed and we end up in the safety boats so don’t cause damage to the ship if you can, okay?”

He nodded slightly and you sighed.

“Well the ship has arrived, let’s go!”

Chapter Text

The ship was nice, really nice.

You had never been in a boat that big nor had you ever got onto the ocean. Your experiences were limited to being near the shore with your family for a bit of time.

The truth was that even if the view was beautiful, you used to be afraid by it when you were smaller, fearing tsunamis and storms. At least you knew that those events weren’t bound to happen, you were going to confront a stand and you didn’t know if that was better or worse 

You grinned, now wasn’t the time to mop.
Polanerff was besides you speaking about France or something. The good thing about the guy was that only a question was needed to form an entire speech. It was funny though and the French names were flattering and funny at the same time so you let that pass.

“And as amazing ma belle France is, what I want to know” he took your hand “Is how did you know I was coming cherie”

May as well play with him.

“Well, you may call it an hability of sorts”

He pursed his lips “Is it similar to clairvoyance?”

You shrugged, it could be compared even if you weren’t actually one. You looked around and there was no member in the crew paying you attention.

Phew.

“Then madmoiselle” he touched his forehead and made a face “Which number am I thinking at?”

“it doesn’t work that way Mr Polnareff”  Avdol appeared.

He pouted and suddenly grinned “Fine! I will discover it then and you” he signaled you “ will be the one to tell me!”

You made a dramatic face and spoke with the most sarcastic tone you could muster “Oh no! What am I going to do?"

“You will see lady, I will know!”

As you tried not to laugh you saw a man with a kid on his arm.

Anne.

“Let me go!”

“Hey hey, what is happening here?” Joseph asked “There were supposed to be no more passengers.”

“We found this little runt in the ship as a stowaway”

Subtly, you placed yourself in front of the rods to avoid her escaping because even if she was going to be okay, you weren’t going to let someone risk their lives. Jotaro already knew about the stand user so the faster the better.

 You watched as the kid bit his arm and she ran blindly with the intention of getting to the water,  just to end up bumping you.

Ah.

Being the one in front of the rods was surely a stupid decision.

A really stupid decision.

You heard as someone scream when you both fell to the water.

As you resurfaced you grabbed her before she could go away even when she continued to struggle.

“Listen here you brat, these waters are infested with sharks got that?” Of course the girl panicked.

You were also panicking.

“Kakyoin get us the fuck out of here!”

As if on cue, Hierophant’s tentacles maniphested and you held the girl to your chest even if you weren’t really that bigger than her. As you ascended a shark jumped to your direction and you braced yourself.

“ORA” Star Platinum punched the shark away just as you touched the floor.

“Thank you Hierophant Green, Star platinum”.

You gave them a small smile and held their hands before their user retreated them, failing to notice the redness in Kakyoin's ears but the truth was that you were dripping wet and internally fuming.

Meanwhile you spotted Joseph and Polnareff looking at the ocean, probably at the stand.

“Hey” you turned to kid “Are you okay girl?” Her hat had fallen off exposing her long hair.

“Uh?” She took a step back and got out her pocket knife.

It was cute.

“What do you want jerks? Do you know how many people have I slayed with this? Eh?!”

You tried to hide a grin “Why are you looking at me like that uh? Come here so that I can slay you?”

“I will cut your dick!” 

“You are gonna need a bigger knife” You really had to hold your laugh for that one. You gave Kakyoin a look.

Bro.

“Is this your stand girl?” Polnareff began “did you purposefully threw our lady to the ocean to bribe us?”

Joseph spoke “How is Dio fairing?" The girl just looked more confused but maintained her stance.

“You know I don’t think that she is the stand user” Kakyoin said while the girl continued to spill threats.

“She isn’t the stand user, actually” Polnareff looked quizzical. “Take out your Chariot, please”

Anne’s eyes didn’t stray from you, her face expressing that same anger.

“See, she can’t see it.”

“What are you talking about?!” 

“Girl” Anne looked to you “We aren’t going to harm you ok? Please drop the knife”

She narrowed her eyes but her position faltered slightly. “If-“

“So this girl is our stowaway?”

The captain appeared and you looked at Jotaro. Now it was up to him.

The captain grabbed Anne and manhandled her, that probably hurt.

“Excuse me sir” he turned to you and gave you a look over.

“Aren’t you being too harsh? She won’t give you any more problems, right?” you stressed the last word out and she nodded as best as she could.

The captain didn’t let her go, though.

“Even if she is a girl I need to be harsh, if not more stowaways will continue to appear, lock her in a room till we get to the port"

As Joseph was about to say something you grabbed his arm. “Everything is fine Mr Joestar”

He catched it, thanks God and just nodded.

Jotaro started smoking a cigarette and the captain took it from him “What were you going to do with the butt when you finished? Throw it to the beautiful ocean?” He turned it off and placed the ashes on Jotaro’s hat.

Tss.

Everyone was shocked, even you and you already knew what was going to happen. 

“You may be guests in the ship but I will make sure that you follow her rules” As the captain made a move to retreat, Jotaro closed his eyes.

“Hold it, if you are going to put it out, just put it out. Don’t be a condescending prick about it, you jackass” 

You tried your best not to look smug and just let it unfold.

“Oi Jotaro, don’t be rude when you are at fault here!”

“I know very well that I am being rude but he isn’t the captain, he is a stand user!”

Hsjshak.

Yes.

“What?!”

“Sta..nd? What may that be?” Of course he feigned if ignorance, may as well get over with it before it gets worse.

“He is indeed the stand user” The captain still continued to play the ignorance card “Jotaro leave him unconscious right now!”

“Tch, don’t tell me what to do woman” 

“It can’t be! He was certified by the Speedwagon foundation, there is 0% chances that he is the stand user!”

Ash.

You know what whatever, you didn’t want the ship to explode and you needed some time to remove the bombs. You ran as fast as you could and kicked him with all the force you could muster.

Straight. In. The. Balls.

“Agh!” Everyone looked alarmed and some even showed empathy at the pain he was probably felling. The captain was on his knees in front of you. “Why you..?” His voice was small, you kicked him again in the stomach.

“Missy!”

Anne just stood there not really knowing what was happening.

The crew were about to make a move to stop you but Jotaro stepped to your side.

“So you figured me out uh?” You turned back, grabbed Anne and joined Polnareff's side.

“You are right, I am not the captain the real one is sleeping with the fishes in Hong Kong.” It would have sounded intimidating if not for the fact that he was huffing on the floor.

“Good grief” Jotaro sighed and Star Platinum manifested as he was about to punch him you remembered something. 

“Wait! Don’t let him touch the ocean”

Jotaro lowered his hat and Star grinned while the not-captain's face fell, Dark blue Moon appearing only a moment before he was pummeled.

“Dark blu-"

“ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA” 

You loved the happy endings.

After what seemed an eternity the captain  was deemed unconscious and left mangled on the floor. 

You sighed in relief, Jotaro didn’t get himself injured, at least. You verified the captain’s unconscious state(more like you slapping him and him not responding) and after that, Jotaro had Star Platinum throw him as far as he could into the ocean, disappering from your sights.

The rest of the crusaders were absort. Kakyoin was the first to recover.

“That was an ah unconventional method you used there Missy”

“I am sorry, I am not always so prone to violence but Jotaro would get injured if he got dragged to the sea” you tried to sound sheepish.

Tried.

“Shut up woman”

“Oh please, if you had knocked him out when I told you I wouldn’t have required to kicking him”

“Still” Joseph interrupted you “It was a dangerous move you made, considering your stand hasn’t manifested and you could have gotten injured”

As much as you wanted to protest he was right, you were too careless.

Shit.

“Well, the good thing is that everyone is fine and no one got injured.” Avdol placed his hand on your shoulder and he offered you a small smile.

“Yeah! After all, what’s the worst thing that could happen?”

As soon as those words left Polnareff's mouth the ship decided to explode behind you, throwing you some feet and making you hit your head.

Good fucking grief.

That was the worst thing that could happen.

You thought that you had time to take them out but no more than 5 minutes passed between the captain’s defeat and the explosion so you figured out that they were probably connected to him.

Joseph started spilling instructions to the crew as you stood up, nothing hurted and you didn’t feel dizzy from the hit so you deemed yourself fine. Grabbing the girl who was finally snapped from her shock you went to the safety boats.

“Hey, are you okay?” 

“Yeah” she made a small pause “what the hell is up with you guys?”

You shrugged, there was no way to explain stands to her anyways. “What is your name?”

“Anne, you?” 

“I am-“ Another big explosion hit the boat, finally breaking it. The crusaders and the crew got into the boats as fast as they could with the crew in one boat and the crusaders in yours. Somehow Anne and you ended up squeezed between Joseph and Jotaro. 

Wet and squished.

In front of you Kakyoin , Avdol and Polnareff were in a similar situation so the best option to avoid being that uncomfortable was that Anne sat on your legs. You stood up as well as you could.

“Anne” she looked your way snapping her sight from Jotaro’s form. “Can you sit on my legs? That way will be more comfortable”

Jotaro tched while Polnareff complained to Kakyoin about something.

She deliberated for some moments and nodded, as you sat down she placed herself on your lap. Her eyes returning to Jotaro.

Heh she had a crush in him.

The boat continued to float in silence for some time, they were probably tired by the boat thing. After about 30 minutes or so you felt the weight on your lap accentuate, she had fallen asleep. 

The ship with the ape wasn't appearing till the next morning so you were going to be here for some good time.

You started humming a song, letting the sunset's colours evolve you.

Chapter Text

As the hours progressed, night took over the ocean making it impossible to distinguish between sea and sky. It wasn’t dark by any means, the moon making it possible to see your companion’s faces as well as some of their moves.

Some of the crusaders apparented to sleep but they were alert, you knew. 

Anne hadn’t woken up and you had to rearrange her in your lap a few times. Trying your best to make no unnecessary movements and bother Jotaro and Joseph, even if they were actually awake.

It wasn’t your first time as an all nighter and while you knew you were safe, here in the sea everything looked clearer and you catched Jotaro looking at the sea from time to time.

Shooting stars passed and you found yourself counting them.

Your eyelids began to feel heavy and you eventually fell asleep. 
Around what you guessed was dawn some giggles woke you up.

Fucking shit.

Why can no one respect the others' sleep?

You were comfortable so there was no way in hell you were even moving and to prove your point you squeezed whatever you were sleeping on harder, only to receive a snort.

You opened your eyes ready to give the fucker a piece of your mind when a hand fell on your shoulder. “What the hell? Respect others' sleep goddamit!"

A small snore and the weight on your lap reminded you of your situation.

Apparently you had been using Jotaro’s jacket as a pillow. 

So what? It was normal there was no reason to lau-

There were some wet spots in his jacket, casually on the same part you had slept on.

Ah.

You apologized lowly, not really expecting an answer and rearranged Anne in your lap.

“Good grief woman, even sleeping you find a way to be annoying”

“Belle fille” you turned to look at Polanerff, his hair making it easy for you to distinguish him “has anyone told you how lovely your voice sounds when speaking asleep?”

Kakyoin huffed besides him and you gave him a look.

“Good morning to you too” 

You just hoped you hadn’t said anything embarrassing. 

“Missy, good to see you have joined us” How could Avdol be so serious when it was freaking 5am? “Do you want some water?”

You nodded and drank a bit offering some to Joseph and Jotaro, while the former rejected it the last did indeed drink not even bothering to clean the hole.

Now that you thought about it, there must be at least 5 persons' spit on there.

Whatever.

Your clothes had dried but some brume started to appear. The crew were asleep with only one of them making guard, probably by turns. You flinched.

The same crew that was going to be murdered.

The main characters lived through the show but many people died in expense.

It was kinda sad, those people may have had families or something, people who depended on them but they passed to 2nd plane in order for the trama to develop.

It was time to speak to them about the creepy ape.

“Guys” Your voice was still husky from sleep and you tried to rearrange your bandana till they were looking at you. “The next enemy stand will appear today”

Joseph sighed and you proceeded “As crazy as it may sound, the stand is a freighter” 

“A freighter, a boat” Kakyoin had that done with life expression directed to you and Jotaro was as stoic as ever.

“Yes, the stand user will be inside of it and it controls everything”

Avdol arched a brow “Missy, did you say it?”

“Indeed Avdol, the stand user is an orangutan”

You blinked, waiting for a reaction.

Polnareff started laughing out loud “You” he wiped a tear from his eyes while the rest of the group stared “Do you want us to believe that an ape is a stand user?” He looked for validation from the others.

No one was laughing and he got the clue.

“Oh”

He was cute.

“Indeed, oh. If we don’t make something about it all the crew is going to die” Honestly it was way too early for such topics, but it was necessary.

Polnareff Kakyoin and Joseph turned to look at the crew members while Jotaro and Avdol remained calm. 

Anne sighed softly and turned in your embrace, she was still asleep.

“What is bound to happen?”

“Well everyone enters the boat and as Kakyoin tries to find the stand user the crew goes to look for help. Anne , this girl, goes to take a bath after watching an orangutan in its cage and it tries to ambush her there after killing the entire crew” you shivered “Turns out the ape is a fucking pervert, good thing Jotaro arrives soon and he manages to defeat the ape.”

You were never that good in telling stories.

Meh.

“Even if you don’t confront him know, you are probably going to encounter it again till you defeat it” You made a pause “I think the best option is to fight but instead of letting the crew wander, keep them with you”

Joseph hummed a bit. “Missy here is right, we need to defeat him fast but we don’t want to raise suspicions and as long as the crew remains with us they will probably be fine”

“We wouldn’t want to raise suspicions after all, even if Dio can’t hear us he may be watching and, who in their right mind is going to reject aid from a ship when lost in the middle of the sea?” 

Uh, that too.

“Who will be the one to defeat the ape?”

“Kakyoin and Joseph need to use their stands to explore the ship so they may as well stay in the dock thanks to their ample range. Avdol, Polnareff and Jotaro are the best option for confrontation”  

“What about the crew though?” Good question Polnareff “If the stand is the whole boat we will need protection for them”

“I can take care of the fucking ape alone” Ah Jotaro so eloquent. 

“You can but better be safe than sorry” It was true that he was completely capable but in case something happened back up would be great.

“You said it yourself woman, I will take care of the stand user”

You opened your mouth but Joseph interrupted “Now that everything is settled let’s just wait for the stand to appear!”

You narrowed your eyes at Jotaro.

As if on cue the first rays of sun made an effort to penetrate the brume and Anne started waking up. She opened her eyes and yawned, as she focused her eyes on the crusaders.

“Uh?!” She got up as fast as she could and her head bumped you in your nose.

“Ouch!” As she looked at you her eyes developed some form of recognition.

“Oh it is just you guys” She made herself comfortable in your lap and reclined on Jotaro’s side.

Heh, serves him right.

Said Jotaro opted not to say anything and instead gave you a glare.

“What?” 

He glared harder.

“Are you okay?” Oh yes the hit, strangely enough it didn’t hurt nor did it bleed. 

“Yeah, everything fine here”

“Anne are you okay?” She was rubbing the back of her head  “Yeah”

Again, silence filled the boat.

Time passed and after some small chat laced with the girl’s complains you offered to play a game with her. At the begining it was only Anne and you playing I spy with my little eye but after  about 10 minutes the whole group was somehow playing.

It was quite unexpected.

“I spy with my little eye something err- red!”

“Your bandana” 

“It isn’t even red” It was just slightly wet okay?

“Good grief it is obviously the old man’s stripped shirt”

“Sorry to disappoint you Jotaro but no”

“Are they my earrings?”

“Nope”

“Ha! Take that Kakyoin, my earrings then”

“No”

As Polnareff was about the complain Anne dropped the water she was drinking.

It was time.

“It was all the water we had left kid! What the hell?” Anne stood up carefully in order to avoid the repetition of earlier events. “Look! A ship!”

The crusaders exchanged a look and waited for it to come.

-

Defeating the ape was surprisingly easy.

When you entered the boat Kakyoin played the 'let's look for the crew card’  with Polnareff as Joseph managed to convince the other men and Anne to stay with them till deeming everything secure.

Meanwhile, Avdol went to look for a cabin as Jotaro and you went looking for the ape.

“The ape is attracted to girls” you explained him “If I enter alone he is more bound to get out of the cage and into the  center of the room, then you can enter fast and your Star Platinum can beat it” 

Of course he kept walking as if he didn’t hear anything.

Not even 10 minutes passed till you encountered it.

You entered the room first and found him sitting in his cage, playing nice but the way he looked at you was unnerving. This fucking ape was into any kind of woman so it didn’t really surprise you.

But still, it was creepy as fuck.

“Oh no! Where are the others!” You seriously tried to make it sound dramatic but it ended up as a cheap ass novel dialogue “It seems that I am lost!”

As soon as turned your back to him trying to lure him into a security feeling you heard the door unlock.

He had gotten out and was looking at you.
Each step it gave frontward was one step you gave backwards, in the door's direction.

Ew.

At what you thought was a considerable distance from the walls but close enough to the door you called for Jotaro.

“Jotaro, get your ass in here!” 

Star Platinum appeared as soon as you called for his user and both of them entered the room.

Majestic.

Powerful.

And cool as fuck.

The ape, as expected, couldn’t even last a full minute against Jotaro and the ship started crumbling.

You started making your way to the exit behind Jotaro to avoid being crushed. And fell, promptly fell.

Motherfucking shit.

One moment you were standing up and the next one you found yourself being carried in Star Platinum's arms. And as much as you tried not to show it your mind was running crazy.

Because bro, Star Platinum.

Star Platinum.

On your way out you encountered Avdol and while he gave you a weird look he didn’t mention it. Probably because you were escaping the crumbling boat.

It wasn’t till you were in the safety boats that you became conscious.

“You may put me down” Jotaro gave you a look “Please”

After Star placed you down carefully you grabbed his hands and gave him a small hug “Thank you” 

The stand gave you a grin and disappeared behind its user. 

Was Star Platinum that different from Jotaro or was he really Jotaro’s inhibition and inner self?

Kakyoin was purposely looking away while Polnareff scowled, Jotaro’s face hidden by his cap.

“What was that madmoiselle?!”

“Where I come from people thank each other warmly, okay? There is nothing wrong with it.”

You weren’t telling him that you sure as hell weren’t going to let the opportunity to hug Star Platinum pass.

Joseph made a sound in his throat and everyone turned to look at him. Anne was grabbing his pants and looking directly at you. “I take it you defeated the ape?”

Jotaro didn’t even acknowledge the question and started smoking a cigarette, you nodded. “Yes, Jotaro defeated the enemy stand, I was more of a bait though”

“Well done then!”

“Mr Joestar” Avdol began “I tried to contact the foundation but to no avail”

A collective sigh was heard.

“Well then! Let me inform the crew”

After about 10 minutes you noticed that Kakyoin was still looking away. It shouldn’t be strange considering he was supposed to be a quite guy but the silence weirded you out.

You stood up as well as you could to sit behind him in the spot Joseph had left.

“Did you know kangaroos have 3 vaginas?”

He turned to look at you, he had his lips extended and his brows slightly creased.

Ah yes, the done look.

“Excuse me Missy” He looked slightly conflicted “What?”

“Kangaroos have 3 vaginas, a friend back home told me”

“Okay…?”

You suppressed a laugh and grinned. “I thought that you needed to know” 

He gave you another questioning look so you shrugged and spoke as serious as you could.

“You have one of those faces”

“One of those faces” He repeated slowly and you nodded.

"Indeed"

By the time you said that Polnareff and Anne were cackling while Avdol sported a smile.

“Even Jotaro agrees, right Jojo?” 

After some uncomfortable moments passed, Jotaro raised the brim on his hat and gazed at the both of you.

“Yes”

“See even Jotaro agrees! And that is saying something” 

As  time passed and day became night you realised that help wasn’t probably coming. 

That meant another day at the sea. You interrupted the small chat they were having.

“Guys, we will pass another night here”

You obtained different reactions to the announce varying from Jotaro's as the calmest one and Polnareff's as the loudest.

“How can you be sure uh?”

“I know that you would be arriving Singapore at day so yes, another night in the ocean”

A collective groan followed your announcement. 

Polnareff eyed you suspiciously. “How can you know that?” You shrugged not really bothering to answer so he proceeded. “How does your prediction even work?”

You were about to shrug when an idea came to your mind “The events just appear before me like episodes” It was actually true so “I also know some information about yourselves”

That catched Jotaro’s attention and you grinned.

“Oh oh  tell my about err me! What do you know about this handsome ma belle femme?”

“Well I know that you had had Silver Chariot since you were a kid. Your height is 185 but if you add the hair you measure 193” He hummed “Anyone else?”

“I would like to know what do you know about me Missy” Avdol was a complex character but may as well try “Well I know that you have chickens and like to take care of them. You are Muslim and the moral compass of the group, you measure 188 cm”

“What about Kakyoin or Jotaro?” You looked at Kakyoin and he nodded “Well he is an honor student, he measures 178 cm, weighs 65 kg, likes cherries and he is also” dramatic pause “a gamer” 

No one was really surprised.

A shame, really.

“And Jotaro?” Jotaro’s gaze was fixed on you but you couldn’t speak without his permission.

“Proceed woman” the one you knew the most about was him but you tried to keep the facts superficial “Your favourite colour is transparent, you measure 195 and weigh about 82 kg.” His  gaze was urging you to go on “Your favourite movie is Never cry wolf and you favourite food-“

“That is all” Well then it wasn’t your problem. You almost smiled at thought of Jotaro not wanting you to tell the crusaders that his favourite food was his mother's.

“Huh? What is Jotaro’s favourite food?” You shrugged.

Maybe later.

After that the talk decreased  you started humming to pass time. Sleep enveloped you from time to time but the posture was killing your back.

“Kakyoin?Are you awake?”

“Aah yes, what do you need Missy?”

“Well my back is killing me so, can you let me lean on you?” He turned his face to the side and spotted Anne leaning heavily on Jotaro. “It will be just my head, please?”

If he didn’t let you, you were going to sleep on the floor, it was decided.

“You may Missy” He still wasn’t looking at you.

A shame really, he had a pretty face.

“Thank you” And without more trouble you fell asleep on a fictional character's shoulder.

Chapter Text

Shouts woke you up.

Holy fucking shit, now what?

There weren’t supposed to be more stands.
As you opened your eyes you found yourself looking up close at pretty turquoise orbs.

Uh?

“Good grief woman, stand up, we are at the coast”

You followed behind him wondering how could you even end up in Jotaro's lap while trying to urge a blush down.

Whatever.

Watching the officer scold Polnareff for leaving his luggage on the street you felt quite comforted, the events were happening just as they were supposed to and that was a good sign, no variations present.

As you walked to the hotel Joseph told you that a ship going to Singapore had found you and everyone had boarded, even you.

“You sleep walk?”

“Not really, this is only the second time it has happened.” He let out a hearty laugh and you smiled 

As you were about to enter the hotel you went to Polnareff's side.

“Hi”

“What is up ma cherie?” you rolled your eyes and got straight to the point “A stand user is going to attack you as soon as you enter your room”

“Eh?” 

Devo the cursed's stand was powered by resentment so while Polnareff would is till have to confront him, the less damage done to the user the best. The best option was actually destroying the freaky doll.

“You will enter your room and there will be a man there, don’t hurt him and please be polite only use your stand to defend yourself.”

 His expression was conflicted but he nodded anyway “After getting the user out of the room please call someone and tell them to come by your room. Now comes the important part. Slice up the doll in your room, it is a means to an end used by the stand user to fuck you up so slice it after you have made sure the stand user is out of your sight”

He took your hands and lifted one to his lips.

He kissed it.

Even though the gesture was kind of nice people were looking at you so you removed your hand and patted him in the arm.

You smiled and he started chatting with you.

Entering the hotel, Anne, who had magically reappeared by your side, stated that she wasn’t meeting her father till some days. Her  family must be worried sick so the best option was to talk with her, even if she didn’t really act up that much she was still in danger from time to time.

You stayed out of the room distribution, letting Anne and Polnareff bicker till they got to their point. As expected, the rooms were far away from each other and Joseph ended up giving you the first key.  Everything had stayed the same, the only thing that changed was that now Anne was rooming with you.
Departing from the group you found that Anne was actually 13 and not 10 as everyone had mostly thought, she was an easygoing person and talking to her was quite nice. As you ascended in the elevator you couldn’t help but marvel at the hotel.

It was elegant and you were pretty sure that in normal circumstances you wouldn’t really be able to afford a room.

“This is it”

You opened the door without procurations,  Anne behind you. She was faking an uninterested look but the shine in her eyes told you the truth.

The first thing you did was entering the restroom to see the bathtub. Polnareff was probably going to encounter the stand user so you waited for him to make the call. 

A scream snapped you out of your thoughts.

Shit shit shit shit.

In the main room, Anne was standing against a wall while a man threatened her, his eyes snapping at you as soon as you entered. 

“Anne, run” Her desperate eyes looked at you and shivers ran down your spine “Now!” that seemed to get her out of whatever trance she was put in. The attacker made a move to grab her as she ran and you gritted your teeth. 

Fuck it 

You ran as fast as you could and slammed your shoulder against him, his stand manifesting briefly as he fell with you on top. Ahis air was knocked out your hands made a move to his neck, instinctually squeezing.

How did you end up like that?

You just hoped Anne could look for help.

He made a move to grab you and suddenly you were upside down with his hand on your mouth while the other held you down, not really knowing what to do you bit down as hard as you could, sweat forming in your brows as you broke the skin and he let go. Fastly retreating a few meters till you were besides the small table.

The same table which held all the things he took out of the fridge to hide there. With adrenaline pumping in your veins, you grabbed one and threw it to his eyes but actually hitting his nose. Seeing that he was distracted you tackled him and this time you made sure to punch him as hard as you could in the face till he was  unconscious.

Or that is what you thought.

As soon as your sight retreated from his form to call the Joestar’s he made his move so when you turned to look at him and saw him gone you fell chills.

“Missy?” Joseph’s voice sounded from the phone and you tried to keep your voice as stable as possible. “There is a stand user in the room, come to help!” Silence answered from the other side even after repeating the sentence several times.

As you looked to see the phone you found that the cable was cut and a not so familiar emotion started to creep in your body.

You were afraid.

You were really afraid.

Feeling your instincts kick in you made your way to the door almost tumbling with the furniture. Only to feel something grabbing your ankle, holding you down.

Nononononono.

There, behind you, was the puppet.

Why was this happening? 

You suppressed a scream, not wanting to bring unnecessary attention. Tears threatened to spill from your eyes. The doll had a knife in his hand and it made a move to stab your feet. Desperate, you tried to kick him.

He saw you and redirected the knife, a laugh creeping out of his mouth and while you tried to stop your leg, the inertia wouldn’t let it. 

He stabbed your shoe.

His creepy laugh resonated through the room. 

You didn’t want to die.

As you fell he made another move to stab you in the leg but you didn’t feel the impact, only noticing how his face changed from a grin to a frown as he made yet another move to stab you, distracted.

The epinephrine in your system was so high that you didn’t even feel the pain as you removed the knife from his hand so you stabbed him.

And again and again and again.

It wasn’t till the room opened that you stopped your movements, letting out a breath that you didn’t know you were holding, strength suddenly leaving your body.

Polnareff was the first to enter, with the rest of the crusaders close behind him.

“ Madmoiselle! Are you okay? I knew that something was wrong the moment no stand appeared in my room but I did-“

Joseph interrupted him after giving you a look over while Avdol and Kakyoin checked the room. “Anne came running to our room, told us there was a strange man in your room” Said Anne was behind him with teary eyes, as she saw you glance at her she ran to your side and hugged you.

It was nice.

Jotaro was besides you when he spoke “Tch, what happened?”

“A stand was supposed to attack Polnareff in his room so I told him.” You gave a strangled laugh “Turns out it ended up in our room and I was the one to confront it, see the motherfucking creepy doll right there?”

 Everyone turned to look at it except for Anne who was holding you for dear life and Jotaro who was still looking at you expectantly
“Well the man, whose name is, was? Devo the cursed used his resentment to power his stand, Ebony devil I think, and he possessed objects, the doll in this case to kill it’s victims.”

“Are you hurt Missy?” 

“I think he stabbed my foot”

You looked at your pierced show and made a move to remove it, expecting to see blood.

There was nothing.

Nothing but your pierced shoe and sock, no wound in sight.

Huh?!

“There is nothing” Thank you Polnareff for stating the obvious.

“I was sure that he stabbed me…? … Well my shoe probably protected me thank God hahaha”

The puppet had failed, that was it. There was no other answer right?

Excitement started creeping in your body.

Could it be a stand? Could it be YOUR stand??

You discarded that thought, not really wanting to jump into conclusions. Avdol was looking at you suspiciously “Missy?”Polnareff and Kakyoin gave each other a look while Jotaro looked at Joseph.

“Good thing you are fine, if not I would go a gotten to the man and sliced him up!” Anne's voice got everyone out of their thoughts. You laughed. “He would have been the 301th victim of your knife though”

She tched “I would have cut his cock and fed him to him if you hadn’t stopped me”

“Yes, yes whatever, let’s just hope that your knife would have been enough, right Kakyoin?”

Said man scowled as his ears turned red.

Cute.

You looked around and leaned over her ear “Anne? Can you do me a favour? I don’t trust the guys to buy them” She gave you a nod “Can you go the store and buy some pads for me, please?” 

She had a small blush on her cheeks but nodded anyway as she exited the room, bumping Polnareff on her way out much to said French’s dismay.

Now you were alone and you could confirm your suspicions.

“Where did the runt ran off?” Polnareff was scowling besides the door, still angry with Anne.

He was like a small boy, seriously.

A buff, handsome, way taller than you boy.

“I told her to buy something for me”

“Uh? What did you need I have some-“ 

“Polnareff as much as I enjoy your voice, I needed her out of the room to confirm something” The dreamy eyes he gave you told you that he didn’t really capture the sarcasm. “I am sure that the puppet stabbed me but there was no wound”

“Could it be…” 

“That your stand is finally manifesting?”Avdol finished Kakyoin’s phrase and you almost rolled you eyes at Polnareff’s exaggerated gasp. 

Almost you were too distracted trying to not shake in excitement.

Joseph and Jotaro were both calm, well the later looked more annoyed than anything but meh.

“I still need to prove it though” You took the knife, a serving it for a moment and made your decision.

At first you tried to cut your finger but to no avail. Maybe it was because you were unconsciously refraining? “Jotaro” He looked at you “Please stab my finger”

Ignoring the others protests Jotaro took the knife, his hand brushing with yours and made a move to cut your finger.

Nothing happened.

“Maybe the knife is damaged?”

Better safe than sorry.
“Let’s confirm”

Joseph took the knife and pierced his own finger, some blood coming out. He looked at you as if asking for permission and also tried to pierce your finger.

“Nothing”

He showed the others your hand as if to prove his point. 

“Polnareff?”

“Oh no, there is no way I am stabbing a lady!”

“So if a woman who has an enemy stand attacked you, you would do nothing?”

“No, I mean yes!”

“You would just let her win and harm your companions?”

“No!”

“Prove it! Stab me with Chariot”

He made a strangled sound and Silver Chariot appeared “Hey buddy” 

The stand gave you a look approaching you with his spade and made swift move to pierce you.

Nada.

“Uh?”

You were bouncing, had that really done nothing? You saw as he tried again and again to no avail. 

“Apparently, Missy here is immune to stabbings” 

“Jojo” Jotaro looked at you “Punch my arm, no stand”

Said man didn’t even hesitate as he moved to punch you and while you were indeed unbalanced, the hit did nothing, no pain appeared. 

He gave you an unsettling grin and summoned his stand.

“Star Platinum!”

“Jotaro no!”

“Jotaro yes!”

“ORA”

Everything seemed to go slow as you received the hit, the sensation of being in the air, Kakyoin’s and Avdol’s worried looks, Polnareff’s choking face and lastly Joseph’s angry glare to Jotaro.

You felt the wall behind you and realized that the hit had sent you flying across the room as you finally fell to the floor.

“What the hell JoJo!”

“Are you okay?”

“Missy!”

You stood up and watched Jotaro smugly, you were good, great even.

“I am fine” Joseph hurried to your side and started checking your arms and legs, looking for a fracture or some form of sign that indicated that you were hurt.

“It seems” you said while Jotaro was looking directly at you, Star Platinum still behind him with a smug look. “That hits and knifes can’t harm me”

“It was still a dangerous move Jotaro, what if the petite fille ended up being hurt?”

He scoffed “She didn’t even get a concussion with the explosion and she was thrown some feet”

It was in that moment that Anne decided to appear “Hey! I brought you pads!” She looked around the room looking between flustered and angry “Why are they still here? Especially the idiot!”

“Why you-“

“I needed to discuss something with them, sorry” You gave it a thought “I still need those though”

She handed you the bag and you took it.  “We are done now” You ignored the fact that some of the guys turned their heads to avoid looking at the pads.

Weak.

As you smiled to her some grumbling was heard.

Polnareff looked away and Joseph laughed.“Let’s go grab some food”

As you exited the room you walked till you were besides Jotaro.

“I don’t know if I should thank you or punch you”

He looked at you slightly and huffed. “As if  could bitch”

“You know what whatever” You pursed your lips “Where your really suspicious?”

After some moments he answered “You flew some feet with the boat's explosion and nothing happened then you fell awfully after scaping the fucking monkey without even a scratch”

You hummed “ Would you have even felt bad if I ended up breaking a bone or something with the punch?”

He shrugged and you lost yourself in your thoughts.

The story changed, even if it was for a small mistake. Would anything else change? That was a topic you needed to discuss over dinner. Anne was apparey already used to the weird talk so-

“Hurry up”

You didn’t even notice that you stopped walking till Jotaro spoke to you.

“Ah yes, I am coming!” 

Chapter Text

After having dinner  with Anne and the crusaders in the hotel's restaurant you were about to go to your respective room with Anne when a hand in your shoulder held you back. 

Kakyoin.

“We are having a meeting at 10:30 in our room, be there Missy, please”

“Okay then I’ll go, see ya!”

Sometimes when speaking with the crusaders you just couldn’t believe it and reverted to your fangirl form but other times it was as if you were getting used to them.

How did you sou suddenly reappear in that world?

Why?

Even if the Ebony Devil thing was kind of a small change and you were immune to damage of sorts you didn’t really know the extent of it. What if Dio ready knew about you?

You breathed slowly and organized your thoughts. At least if you stayed you would know about the impending technologies or you could work in investigation, innovate things.

That would be cool.

Anne entered the room and you followed her,  watching her closely.

“Do you want to take a bath first?” She nodded and after grabbing her backpack (Did she even have clothes there?) She entered the bathroom.

You turned on the TV and settled on the music channel again, 80’s songs were really cool after all. You started singing slowly but eventually the enthusiasm won out you ended up singing rather loudly..

Maybe you should make money out of events that would happen?

Yes, indeed.

When Anne got out of the bathroom she had some pajamas on (she did hold clothes in that backpack ) and started eyeing you weirdly but who cares, singing was your passion.

Well not really.

Her hair was wet, dripping and an idea got to your mind. “Anne?” She looked at you “Yeah?” 

“Would you like me to style your hair?” Some months prior to these events you had cut your hair just under your ears but know, even if it was up to your shoulders, it wasn’t really material for long brides. 

Anne hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded “Sure”

After styling her hair and receiving her awed looks you went to take a bath, it was about 9:00 so you still had time before the meeting. You must have been quite a time there thanks to all the grime and salt in your hair.

As you got out with your usual sleeping clothes you found that the girl was already sleeping on the bed, sprawled over the covers.

10:00 pm.

Might as well be early.

You got out of the room as silently as you could leaving anote in the bed stand in case Anne woke up. 

As you went to the Kakyoin’s room you couldn’t help but feel slightly excited again, everything was like a dream.

You knocked the door and waited for a response. You knocked again and this time someone opened the door, someone who was obviously not Kakyoin.

Jotaro who looked freshly bathed gave you a look and you noticed that even if he wasn’t wearing his coat or his hat he had the same pants and undershirt as always.

Did he not have pajamas or what?

“Anne’s already sleeping” not really waiting for an answer you entered the room “Where is Kakyoin?”

“Bathroom”

An idea came to your mind “Hey Jotaro” He raised an eyebrow. “If Star Platinum floats/flies, does that mean you also can?"

“What?”

“Star Platinum has a small range, if he elevates himself further than your range will you elevate with him or will he disappear?”
He frowned slightly “Woman, are you implying that Star Platinum may fly?”

“Who knows” 

He was about to say something but Kakyoin decided to get out of the bathroom in that moment, in his pajamas.

“Hi Kakyoin! Can I braid your hair?”

He looked at Jotaro but said man just reclined on the bed, probably thinking about your asseverations “Well, I just took a bath Missy and I don’t know if that would be a good idea”

“Tell you what, I will owe you any favor if you let me braid your hair” He thought for a bit and eventually nodded with his mouth extended. 

“Yes!”

Kakyoin’s hair was actually quite soft and you decided to leave his bangs out of the braid, his mullet was actually larger than your hair even if the cut was different. 

Of course it was in that moment that Avdol and Joseph decided to enter “Mr Joestar!”

“Good night sirs” 

Even though Joseph looked at Kakyoin's bride and grinned a bit he didn’t actually say anything about it.

Polnareff was the last to arrive, same clothes, same hair.

“Now that everyone is here” Joseph began looking pointedly at Polnareff while the latter either didn’t know or didn’t care “It is time to discuss today’s matter”

Everyone turned to you.

Right.

“Well uhm, today we experienced the first change in the story, Ebony Devil was supposed to confront Polanerff but ended up against me” You gulped “Even if no one did actually get injured and this was probably a mistake thanks to a slight alterations in key’s distribution, someone could have ended injured,  we have no way to confirm if Dio knows about the err prediction of sorts or if hi suspects about it”

“What Iif next time we end up against someone and we don’t know about it, wouldn’t it be the best if everyone knew?”

“Wait a moment Polnareff. Missy, did we defeat all the stand users we encountered?”

“You did defeat most, at least before getting into Dio's mansion, there were some close calls though”

“Remember that the intention of not informing everyone was to keep secrecy and avoide secrets spilling out shavenoticecan confirm that Dio indeed knows about your ability we will continue to manage ourselves this way”

After that, the meeting moved on to more menial themes and you started to feel rather sleepy.

“Well then sleep well! we will stay here for another day, if stand users keep this up we don’t know when will we be able to have another chance to rest, okay?”

“Breakfast at 9:40 am, okay?”

Joseph’s voice dragged you out of the drowsiness you were feeling and you waved them goodbye. Polnareff stayed behind though “Cherie, would you like me to carry yo your room?”

“Don’t go offering things you can’t manage Polnareff”

He made a shocked sound “WHAT? Are you implying that I can’t do it?”

You shrugged as you stood up “Good night Kakyoin, Jotaro. Sleep well, we have a long day tomorrow” you pursed your lips “On another thought, Jotaro?” He turned to look at you.

“Can you escort me to my room?”

No one really pay attention to Polnareff’s frustrated yells in the background.

Jotaro remained silent and you gave him a look “Please?” 

He stood up as you went to the door, Polnareff behind you. You waved to Kakyoin and he politely reciprocated .

You turned to Polnareff and swiftly gave him a small kiss on the cheek “Goodnight Polnareff!” In your country, most of the people said goodbye with a kiss Inthe cheek so it wasn’t weird.

You still were blushing, though.

Jotaro was already ahead of you so you ran till you were by his side, he glared at you. You eyed a storage room a dragged him with you inside it, even if it was a bit crowded.

You couldn’t risk someone spying, specially with tomorrow’s fight.

“What the hell woman”

“We can’t have anyone hearing, specially about this.” You exhaled and proceeded to explain Yellow Temperance as well as you could ending with a pointed look at him.“Don’t hold back”

“Good grief, okay”

“Thank you” you said while opening the door “Now if you excuse me I will go to my room”
You were leaving when another pair of footsteps were heard “I won’t be responsible for your passing woman”

“You do now I am kind of invulnerable right?”
Even if you wanted it to sound tough the knowledge of Jotaro escorting you flustered you a bit. He followed besides you silently till you were in your room. “Good night, thank you” he waved slightly and you closed the door.

Finally some rest.

-

The next day passed normally, Anne and you went for breakfast with the crusaders, the chats were amiable and everything was rather mundane, you might have enjoyedit more if it wasn’t for the stand that was bound to appear. As you were about to leave Anne  held your hand.

“Let’s explore the city”

“Uh?” Anne tried to look as solemn as she could “I need to decipher my way around the city to meet my father!”

You played along “Well then just let me grab a bag and we-“ she interrupted you “Invite Jotaro to come with us!”

Ah yes, her crush.

“Why don’t you invite him?” she made a grimace and turned to Jotaro “Hey JoJo! Missy here was wondering if you wanted to come with us to explore” 

“Go JoJo, I may as well take the sun”

Anne turned to Kakyoin with a hollowed expression “Missy asks you to come too”

Kakyoin turned to you and a small chuckle scaped your lips, his face had that done with life expression again. Jotaro seemed to catch the timing because he spoke before Kakyoin could say something.

“We will go”

“Great, let’s meet here in 15 minutes!”

You went to your room as fast as you could and grabbed your bag, Anne was practically bouncing on energy.

Better take advantage on it.

“So JoJo uh?”

Anne got rather red but feigned boredom “What are you talking about?” 

“Nothing , nothing” 

As you were about to made your way out of the room a shine captured your attention.

The knife.

Deciding quickly you shoved it in your bag and went to the meeting point with Anne by your side.

Kakyoin was already there.

Well, not-Kakyoin.

“And Jotaro?”

“Oh hey, my man said he was coming in some minutes”

Talk about bad acting.

Jotaro appeared after some minutes with no real Kakyoin and you went out of the hotel. Fake Kakyoin was quite noisy and flirty but it could still be passed on as normal.

Well not normal but as if he had had a bad day.

A really bad day.

Anne was telling you something but you were watching not Kakyoin at all time, not really wanting him to consume organic matter and grow bigger.

Your eyes met.

“What are you doing pretty, admiring my beauty?” He placed an arm around you and if it wasn’t for the fact that you knew that he was a fake it would have been quite nice.

“Yes Kakyoin, of course”

“Oh look ice cream!”

God bless every JoJo character and their perfect timing.

Jotaro appeared by your side and after giving not-Kakyoin a glare he took your wrist and dragged you to where the vendor was.

Even if he didn’t grip to hard, it made you dizzy.

Anne grabbed your other hand and they ordered for the ice creams but ended up receiving the well-known coconut.

It was tasty even if the man had probably sold it way to expensive.

Joestar money.

The robber took the other's wallet just in time and not-Kakyoin followed, grabbing him.

“Kakyoin!” he was going to make a level 1-2 fracture on the man’s spine!  “Stop that and take your fucking wallet!” Anne was still holding your hand and Jotaro’s jaw was tense “He won’t do it again right?” The robber nodded as well as he could and Rubber Soul (you had just remembered his name) threw him on the ground.

The guy quickly scrambled away, your sight focused on the enemy stand user and everyone proceeded to walk away, apparently ignoring the events that just happened.

As you made your way to the cable cars, Rubber Soul pushed Jotaro of the ledge, making him fall and use Star Platinum. His fists were clenching hard but he made no movement to punch Rubber Soul.

Sometimes you forgot that Jotaro was an intelligent character.

You were nervous, not for you but for Anne. Jotaro still hadn’t made his move when you arrived at the cable cars, probably waiting for the ocean to appear.

You exhaled in relief, the woman and the dog were apparently safe after all.

As Rubber Soul was about to enter the cable car he pushed you inside of it with him soon after.

Oh shit.

Jotaro entered after you with the girl on tow but he closed the door before she could enter , leaving her out and confused.

“Stay there”

After some uncomfortable moments passed you watched as Kakyoin’s form started to melt around you and you quickly moved to Jotaro’s side. 

Rubber soul, the prideful man he was, finally revealed himself partly and promptly declared the supremacy of his stand, decided to devour both of you and win the bounty.

Jotaro lowered the brim of his hat “You didn’t have to be a bitch about it, jackass” He grinned at the man and Rubber Soul's expression turned confused “Now I am going to break you, your body that is”

You turned to look out of the window.

Sea.

“You are already dead”

As Rubber Soul was about to say something, Jotaro took out Star Platinum, who quickly made a hole and jumped through it, taking your leg with him.

Well, shit.

As much as you wanted to say the fall was interesting, it wasn’t, you were quite up and falling wasn’t a particularly pleasant feeling.

As you landed in the water you resurfaced as fast as you could, not really wanting to prove if you could die from drowning and swam as far from them as your arms allowed you to.

Rubber Soul, who had also fallen from the car, resurfaced. 

“ORA!” the amount of force behind Star Platinum's hits almost made you feel bad.

Almost so you didn’t.

Jotaro followed your advice and he punched Rubber Soul to oblivion, not really waiting for answers.

You called from behind him and he gave you a rare smile. As you made your way to the coast and to Anne’s location you couldn’t help but feel ashamed.

2 teens walking in the middle of the street soaked to the bone with their uniforms 
“What happened to you?!” You were about to answer but Jotaro interrupted.

“Nothig kid, let’s head back”

He did have a sweet spot for children.

The three of you made your way to the hotel, stopping to buy an ice cream thanks to the girl’s demands.

Entering the lobby the rest of the Crusaders, including the real Kakyoin found you and after some questions everything was deemed alright.

The day passed fast after that, with eating and chilling out in the hotel.

You didn’t go to the pool, though.

You were in your room watching TV with Anne when a call sounded.

“I will take it” Anne, who didn’t even make a move to stand up, just eyed you. “Hello?”

“Meeting in my room, now” a small pause “Dont bring the kid”  And Jotaro hanged.

Damn it.

You sighed and without bothering to change your pajamas you opened the door. “I will go put to buy something, don’t wait for me”

You closed the door without waiting for an answer. 

You knocked the door and this time around, Kakyoin opened it. Everyone was already there and Polnareff eyed you suspiciously.

”What?”

Their faces were serious.

“Missy, I think it is time to speak about the man with 2 right hands”

-

The trip to India was in the morning so everyone woke up early and went to the station. Anne was nowhere in sight and you hoped that after your talk with her in the morning she wouldn’t be following you.

You were sitting next to Kakyoin and even if it was uneventful, the constant voice of Kakyoin’s information was relaxing.

“Jojo, are you eating that?”

Heh.

“They are my favourites”

Jotaro made a face as expected but gave the cherry to him.

“Lero lero lero lero lero lero”

When Rubber Soul made the same movement, was it because he also liked cherries of was he really imitating Kakyoin?

Who knows.

“Kakyoin” he turned to look at you, cherry still in his mouth “Can you make a knot with the cherry's stick?”

“I think so…?” He introduced the cherry in his mouth and after some moments he took it out, showing you a perfectly done knot.

He even looked proud.

“You did make it huh?” He smiled a bit and proceeded with his lerolero thing “Did you know that if a person can a make a knot in a cherry with their mouth, they are apparently pretty good kissers?”

Kchockedchocked with the cherry and Jotaro lowered the brim of his hat “What?” You shrugged “What you heard”

“Where do you get all this…information?”

Again another shrug “Friends” 

He turned to look outside the window with his ears red “Ah, look JoJo Flamingos!”

Chapter Text

India was… interesting.

You had never been to India but it seemed to live up to its reputation in the anime, so while the ambience didn’t really surprise it was still bothersome. 5 minutes, only 5 minutes had passed till you got out of train and someone had already tried to grab your bag and felt you up in the way.

Polnareff looked annoyed and grossed out at the suspiciously placed substance at his feet, Kakyoin had already lost his wallet, Joseph was screaming for dear life, Jotaro was, well stoic as ever which even if you already knew was bound to happen, it was still surprising.

“India is such a great country, isn’t it?”

You were used to big crowds, the subways and buses you used to frequent were always crowded with an err- peculiar smell so the problem weren’t those, being the center of attention was.

After some struggle and latching for dear life to Avdol’s robes, the crusaders and you were able to abandon the crowd and call a taxi, if the small vehicle you were in could be called that. In his desperation, Joseph had decided that you mustn’t separate, resulting in the current sutuation. 

A five man taxi wasn’t really supposed to carry 5 grown men, a girl and the taxi driver but what was done, was done.

From your position on the small taxi floor you eyed the crusaders; Jotaro and Kakyoin were vividly watching outside the window, the later explaining things from time to time to make the ride more bearable; Avdol was sitting placidly and conversing with Joseph and the taxi driver; and finally just above you was Polnareff sitting with a frown.

Yesterday’s talk did take a toll on him but hey he agreed to come.

At least, for know.

His behaviour had changed 180° since the meeting, he no longer flirted nor did he make occasional jokes, he was all business. Your eyes met briefly but he turned away, memories came to your mind.

“I think is time you tell us all you know about the hanged man.”

“The hanged man you say?” Jotaro's eyes where on you when he spoke “Today’s bitch mentioned him in a search for mercy.” 

You stood up and closed the window, checked the door's lock and took a deep breath before continued, even if you knew there were supposedly no enemies. “Tomorrow, on India we will encounter 2 stands if everything goes as planned: The emperor and the hanged man.”

After a brief explanation from Avdol about those tarot cards you proceeded “Before I begin I need you to promise something.” Better safe than sorry “No one is interrupting till I end the story, please.” The crusaders nodded and each one of them apparently swore but before you could continue a voice was heard.

“Madmoiselle, is this really necessary?”

“Yes it is, please swear on your honor”

He chuckled a bit but swore anyways.

You made a quick prayer and hoped that everything turned out right. You began your explanation with the stand's abilities, Hanged Man and The Emperor were quite the stands and in case anything happened everyone needed to know about them. No one interrupted you so you proceeded with the hard part, the users.

You were never the best at storytelling and even if SC was supposed to be an anime, this people in front of you seemed real, they were real, at least at the moment. After some moments, the story began and without more delay you spilled everything you remembered about them, about you.

“The hanged man is the man with 2 rights hands.”

Polnareff visibly stilled but at his silence your story continued and you made an especial emphasis on Avdol’s injuries(not really wanting to mention the word death) observing their reactions from time to time.

The French’s fist were clenched so hard that they were trembling and his jaw was tense as soon as you said the first verse. The story ended and after a small discussion on their habilites, weakness as well as a well needed plan with Joseph and Avdol as the main planners and Kakyoin, Jotaro and you as contributors.

Polnareff stayed silent.

Honestly you expected some screams, anger or ire but none appeared in the semblance of the person before you. You didn’t really know him, wiki may have helped you understood what the episodes couldn’t buy now, before this man you found yourself at loss. 

After planning the course to take everyone returned to their respective rooms, Polnareff standing up quietly and leaving through the door as if he had never been there. “Just give him some time” Avdol and Joseph retired, leaving you on the room with Kakyoin and Jotaro.

You went to eat to the same restaurant (at least you supposed) and Jotaro half dragged you out of the car “We are here woman” you got out and entered the restaurant. 

The expectance was thick in the air.

Polnareff stood up “I will go to the restroom” while the first time you watched the episode it was outright funny the pig thing, now you couldn’t really laugh, not when the big was actually quite disgusting. They had a plan and they needed to stick to it, it needed to be a man the one who was chosen to be the first one to confront the stand, and if possible, aisle him.

The stand was in the males restroom after all.

Several minutes passed and Polnareff returned to the table, visibly shaken. His hands were trembling and his whole mannor was tense. He had  encountered the hanged man.

“He was there" His eyes looked at yours, "the man who killed my sister.” Avdol looked worried “He was there as you said and I couldn’t stop him.” His voice was steadily rising “Do we really need that stupid plan?! Aren’t you cowards for not following after him?!” 

“Polnareff, calm down.” The user could be everywhere, watching and he could by no means know about the plan. 

“Calm down, CALM DOWN. The man who fucking killed ma belle soere is there and you want me to do nothing?!”

“Be rational!”

“I thought that I could do it, that I could follow the shitty plan but it is too much, I won’t stand here."

Nononononono

Avdol was saved by pure casualty last time, there was no telling if he could survive. 

“Polnare-“

“I am out,”

“Please sit down“

“Shut Up! I don’t need advice from a coward like you who ran from Di-“

You weren’t risking lives.

“POLNAREFF YOU LITTLE SHIT SHUT THE FUCK UP AND SIT DOWN.”

Your outburst had gotten his attention as well as half of the restaurant. A waitress approached.

“Is everything okay?” You turned to look at her and felt sheepish. “Ahh yes, sorry we were just having a small discussion but we are sitting down.”

The girl looked doubtful but after some reassurance she nodded and left. “Polnareff, take a sit please.” Your eyes where locked on his “You want the talk? The hotel, but right now is not the time to argue.”

He sat down reluctantly and scoffed, barely eating anything. “Sorry” After eating, the crusaders went to an hotel, it was no where near the luxurious thing you had lastly stayed on, but it would suffice.

For safety, the rooms would be shared in pairs. Joseph and Avdol, Jotaro and Kakyoin and finally Polnareff and you. It wasn’t really the best combination considering that Polnareff was still angry at you but at the momet there was more tension between Avdol and Polnareff and Joseph still didn’t trust you to sleep with one of the other teenagers.

Ha.

As if.

The crusaders had agreed to meet at night in Joseph’s room. Polnareff entered the room and you followed him choosing your bed, you propelled down.

Silence.

“Polnareff?”

Said man ignored you. After other 2 failed attempts to make a conversation you left the room and went to Jotaro’s room. While occasional silence was nice you thought that Polnareff needed time to think, he was grieving after all.

After 2 knocks Kakyoin opened the room. “Hey!” 

“Oh hello Missy, is everything okay?”

He looked at both sides of the corridor and you tried to appease him. “Everything is fine! I just was getting bored so I thought that I could come with you guys?”

“Oh sure, enter.”

The room was almost identical to yours, the only exceptions where the notebook and pencils sprawled on Kakyoin’s bed and Jotaro sitting on his.

“What are you doing here woman?”

“I wanted to pass some time here with my friend Kakyoin, if it doesn’t bother you man”

“Tch, couldn’t you do it in your room?”

“Well no, how could I ever let the opportunity to be near you dear Jotaro, pass?” Sarcasm was dripping from your voice and you smiled at his scowl. “Just kidding, Polnareff needs some time and well I was bored.”

“Good grief.”

You huffed in Jotaro's direction as he scowled and turned to look at Kakyoin.

“Well then, can you lend me a paper and a pencil, please?” Kakyoin gave it to you and positioning yourself on the floor.  

You were actually fond of drawing girls so you ended up trying to drawing mostly females, between them Holly. She was a beautiful woman after all. 

It was getting boring though and you were sure that Jotaro wouldn't appreciate your singing.

“Hey Kakyoin? Can I watch you draw?”

Poor guy, you always bothered him. He stopped drawing whatever he was and turned the you “If you want to, go ahead?” You stood up and plopped on his bed, besides him. Sometimes you used to draw with your friends, they used to watch you and you watched them as they drew. His drawings were nice, he drew mostly whole bodies in positions unlike you who preferred faces. 

After about another half hour you had neither space in your sheet nor inspiration. Jotaro’s hat was on the small table between the beds.

Perfect.

You grabbed the hat.

Error 404 not found.

You felt as if you would combust from the emotion because you had Jotaro’s hat.
Jotaro’s hat.

You don’t know how long where you there just holding the hat with the other hand on your mouth but a voice took you out of your fangirl space.

“Why do you have my hat?”

Ah.

“Jeez I was just watching it.” Jotaro’s turquoise eyes were piercing yours. “People don’t usually stay 10 minutes still watching something, normal people that is.”

“What Jotaro tries to imply, Missy” Kakyoin interrupted “Is there something wrong with the hat? Another presage?”

Humiliation.

“No, it is not that I was just err- admiring the back of it, how does it even stay out?” As if to prove your point you tried the hat on, only for it to fall. Jotaro grabbed it and made an unimpressed demonstration on his hair and it somehow made you feel dumb.

Whatever.

“Aren’t you guys getting bored just being here?” Jotaro didn’t answer and Kakyoin just shrugged. “What else can we do?” The rooms had no TV so that was out of option. 

“What about a game?”

Kakyoin perked up and Jotaro actually gave you some attention. “What kind of game?” You knew some card games but you weren’t sure if they had. “Do you guys have cards?” Kakyoin shook his head. “Sorry Missy, I don’t.” Jotaro’s silence was interpreted as a no.

“Do you guys have any ideas?”

Again you received a no and an idea came to your mind. “Have you guys ever heard of a game named “Manitas calientes”?”

-

Some hours later you exited the guys' room with some money on your hand. Turns out none of them knew any of the games you suggested but played and even bet on some games, giving you an advantage.

Persistence above strength, oh yes.

The room was dark, the bed lamp on and Polnareff reading on his bed. Or at least you thought it was Polnareff, his hair was down and it was wet even if he had the same clothes. His gaze redirected to you as you made your way to your bag in order to take a bath. You were about to open the bathroom’s door when his voice interrupted.

 “Désolé”

A smile made its way to your mouth “C’est bien, pas problème” It had been ages since you spoke even a bit of French, haven taken it only around a year in high school so it sounded rusty and weird, still it was worth the surprise in his face. “I only know a bit, don’t get surprised.” You made a small pause. “I will take a  shower.”

The bathroom was nice but there was no tub making your bath considerably faster than the others after going out you found Polnareff still in his bed, he spoke. “Do you have siblings?”

“Yes, I have” Used to have? His face turned solemn as he spoke. “We used to be only 2, Sherry was younger than me but she had the prettiest hair and she might have been your age right now-“

He spoke about her as if describing the sun, his eyes shined as if reminiscing moments that seemed to recreate before him. 

How could you even pretend to understand him? Understand what he lived?

Time seemed to stop for him.

Sometimes his look would turn faraway, not really there and his face seemed to light up, he spoke faster and his whole demeanor gleamed with life only to be crashed down when he retained the string of the conversation. “Sherry was my partner, she was many things that I am not and I can’t help but be angry. Why do the best people are the ones that leave? I have never excelled at everything but she was like a beacon of light. She was my light.”

“She sounded like an amazing person”

“She was, she really was” His voice turned small and his eyes glistened, he didn’t even notice when you stood up and as bold as that may have been you hugged him. 

He was warm and smelled like soap but he remained still.

Maybe that wasn’t the best move .

You were about to retire when he grabbed you and hugged you hardly, his whole demeanor shaking and his hands trembling.

You didn’t know how much time did you stay there but it seemed to last forever.

What could you even say?

Nothing.

It wasn’t till you separated that you became aware of your own tears, while you weren’t really a crier, empathy had always been one of your strongest traits. You discreetly cleaned your eyes and went to your own bed while he just plopped down on his own, probably too emotionally exhausted. 

“You will avenge her Polnareff, it is just bound to happen.”

“We will”

-

The next day everything was calmer and the tension was running much lower. Polnareff had  retook his flirty behaviour even if his body remained tense. Avdol eyed him suspiciously but Joseph went on as if nothing happened. Kakyoin and Jotaro were another story, the 50 bucks in your bag said so.

“Kakyoin! What happened to your hands?”Avdol, the mother hen he was, asked him and you snickered. “I ah, had some issues but everything is solved now.”

“Issues? Did you encounter a stand user? We didn’t even hear!” 

"Now that you talk about it, I did hear some whimpers in the afternoon."

“Leave him alone JiJi everything was taken care of” 

“You too Jotaro! Oh my God!”

Polnareff noticed your badly repressed laugh. “What is so funny ma Cherie?” You gave him a dismissive look. “Nothing Polnareff, nothing.”

The enemy stands were bound to attack you that day and the safest option was a place similar to the one where they were lurked into. The plan was to defeat The Hanged Man and just with that Hol Horse will retire. The advantage withhol horse was his bow on not attacking women and while that a weird principle it would work on your part.

Now you just had to lure them.

You needed to wait for them to attack so Joseph rented a small van and to advance some terrain while you waited for them, Cairo was still far far away. The wagon was way more comfortable than the taxi but the luxury only lasted tsome moments.

Everyone knew about the users this time so when the hanged man appeared on the mirror, you closed your eyes. “Brace yourselves!” As expected, Joseph slammed the breaks and the car rolled over. 

One moment you were in the car and the next thing you knew was that someone was carrying you. Star Platinum’s eyes stared down at you “We need to stop meeting like this, not that I am complaining.”  The stand kindly put you down with a small smile, it was pretty contrasting to Jotaro’s own scowl.

Said man, Joseph, Avdol and you left the scene as planned, not bothering to look back. The more eyes, the more trouble. This was Polnareff’s battle and if something went wrong Kakyoin’s range would be helpful. Hol horse was probably hiding somewhere so you stayed close but not close enough to the others.

Not even a minute passed when a bullet was fired. Everyone knew of the Emperor and they had agreed that the best course of action was grabbing the bullet, hence Star Platinum.The stand made a move to take the bullet but it quickly changed its direction without entering the stand's range. 

Hol Horse deemed that moment perfect to make his appearance. 

Being honest he was a quite handsome man, his long hair and strong factions made him appealing to the eye. The all around the world girlfriends thing seemed more credible now.

He presented himself and his stand, boosting about it.

Coward.

You started walking towards him, better make it quick. His eyes drifted to your form “So it was true that a woman was travelling with the Joestar’s uh?” 

You shrugged “Seems like it.” His whole demeanor changed into what you supposed was a flirtatious pose, all while the bullet kept moving to hit the crusaders but still getting out of Jotaro’s range.

“Hey beautiful, what is a girl like you doing with those brutes?” Gosh even his voice sounded like a cheap line from a romantic cowboy's movie.

“You know, just trying to make some money. Help some people, the same old.” You quickened your steps, progressively shortening the distance between you. He tched “That is no good princess, why don’t you follow me instead and I get you some money?” 

“No, thank you I am fine with not working for a metrosexual vampire, thanks for the offer though” Dying the distance between you he retreated some steps. “Girl, stop walking. I am against hurting a woman but you aren’t making it easy.”

Running it is.

Of course the fucking woman who was with him decided it was the moment to “protect his loved one”.

“Thank you Nena! But there is no need!" As if to prove his point he redirected his bullet to the Joestar group and using the distraction, Star Platinum easily grabbed it.

“Looks like you are cornered shithead”

In a desperate move he screamed for his partner “N’Geil!” He grinned. “Sorry fellas but you are done for.” 

Instead of his partner, Kakyoin and an oddly calm Polnareff appeared.

“He is dead.” Hol Horse's face fell and you used that moment to kick Nena, manoeuvring her so that she was under you. She resisted but to no avail, invulnerability did come handy.

“What do you mean dead?” Not bothering to use words, both men just signaled the body.

“Oh.”

Indeed, oh.

Not thinking twice, Hol Horse  escaped the scene for dear life, everyone was either too far away or at least, in your case, occupied with other things such as the woman under you to follow him.

Whatever.

The Crusaders catched up quickly and Nena started to cry.

Like full blown tears and snot cry.

“Don’t harm me! Please! Just let us go!” Were they seriously going to believe her? 

Someone grabbed you and positioned you on the ground rather harshly.

“Missy, let the woman go!”

They believed her.

Polnareff quickly recovered his flamboyant attitude in from of the other woman. 

Sucker.

A hand touched your shoulder, Avdol. “Was that necessary, Missy?”  

Better end this quickly.

You made a sign with your hand a he followed you. You noticed regarding you and made him the same sign. At a considerable distance you spoke. “She is a stand user.” There easy and direct.

“A stand user?” They looked at her. “Are you sure?”

Why were they doubting you?

“Yes, I am sure and if she doesn’t make something her stand, which is kind of lame by the way, will infect someone.”

Avdol still looked unsure and Jotaro lowered his brim. Seriously?

“Why don’t we wait for her to do something? It would seem suspicions otherwise” Eh, good point.

“Fine by me, I was just advising” Avdol returned to the group to make plans to move, leaving Jotaro and you alone.  His outfit was kind off dirty, especially the pants. You couldn’t really blame him though everyone was dirty and sweaty. 

“Hey Jotaro” He looked at you as he lit up a cigarette. “Yes, woman?”

“Wanna bet again?”

Chapter Text

Polnareff, being who he was, insisted on bringing Nena to Varanasi.

The trip to the city of Varanasi was long.

Thanks to the prevention of Avdol’s  retire he ended up sitting next to Joseph and contrary to the original disposition, Jotaro ended up sitting with you after a 'slip' from Joseph. Kakyoin insisted on sitting alone though, probably tired of everyone’s shit and Jotaro was drifting off besides you, you would have probably slept too if someone just shut up.

“-diots that just don’t understand uh, I never got your name?” Polnareff was speaking his head off, trying and promptly failing to flirt with the woman at his side who was obviously not interested. “Nena”.

“Nena” you mimicked her with a small voice, ugh. 

“Mr. Joestar?”  He turned to look at you, his eyes briefly watching Jotaro.“Yes, Missy?”

“How long is it till Varanasi?” He pursed his lips and Avdol ended up answering “30 minutes, more or less.”

Only 30 minutes, you could bear with it. You had been in a Van with 20 kids and entertained all of them, this was nothing. Still, something bothered you. Joseph was complaining about his weird bug bite and at your side, Jotaro’s hat was lowered and he had his arms crossed, he was snoring slightly.

Cute.

“Hey it’s coming into view.”

Varanasi was… impressive. The architecture was different to everything you had seen, the antique ruins you had visited before were plenty different and something about the city just seemed to draw you in, the colours were beautiful and even from your position you could see some of the activities in there. The river was big and you heard as Avdol listed some of the facts you already knew.

You got closer to window, trying to see more of the city’s enchantment. Returning to your seat, you noticed that Jotaro was already awake and vividly watching the whole place. 
The rest of the time passed fastly between admiring the city, hearing Polnareff’s failed attempts at flirting and paying attention to Avdol so before you knew it, you had already descended from the bus. Joseph was scratching at the bulge in his arm, courtesy of Nena. 

You trusted Avdol but he still wasn’t making anything.

“Are you alright Jiji?” 

“Ooum Jotaro Is worried for his grandpa” It was supposed to come out lowly but Kakyoin snickered besides you. “Don’t worry JoJo it is just a big bite, I will go to get it checked by a doctor.”

“Don’t you think it kind of has a face in it?” Joseph looked alarmed and you turned to look at him. “Polnareff! Don’t go saying those things” 

“Now that you say, it does have a face on it, look” There was a small crease and the place were the eyes were supposed to be were hollowed. “Don’t you mean…”

“Mr Joestar” Finally Avdol, thank you. “There is a possibility that this is the work of an enemy stand.” Joesph looked to you and you nodded slightly, he took a deep breath and followed your sight to Nena. “Who may be the user though?”

Nena was completely calm. Jotaro, who had been smoking a cigarette till the moment let out a big smoke on your general direction before speaking. “There is one way to find the user.” Nena's eyes opened slightly but otherwise she remained calm as Polnareff rambled to her.

Thank God for Jotaro and his plans to make you look suspicious.

“The user suffers the same damage as the stand, right? If they are near us then we can see their reaction.” Easy and fast, perfect.

“Oh look a camel!” It seems that the user was already panicking and the worst thing that some of the crusaders looked at it. Not really wanting to waste more time you crossed the distance between Nena and you and grabbed her arm. Jotaro made gave the stand a big punch and it reacted to it, Nena actually winced from the pain, small as it was.

“Seems that we found the user.” 

“Polnareff, my love do you seriously believe her, it was her rude movements that made me cry out!” Said man just grabbed his chin and rubbed it. “I try to believe you madmoisell but Missy has an eye for this things.” You sighed in relief, there all done. Now the user. “What are you going to do to her?” 

Silence.

Was no one seriously going to knock her out?

Jeez.

“Remove the stand from Mr Joestar’s arm.” Nena didn’t even flinch, time for other measures, you took her finger in your hand and started twisting it against her attempts to escape. “Remove it or I break it” She was still struggling and refused to do so. “Plesse, I don’t really like violence.” She refused again and you twisted it more. A crack and a short scream sounded.

Oh shit

“Okay! Okay! Stop!” After some moments the thing came off and Joseph made some calls to the SPW foundation who were apparently on their way to detain her. Honestly speaking that was better than her dying. “The bud is in her tongue, be careful.” The crusaders minus you took a step back.

After arriving, someone placed a sort of cage in her tongue as they dragged her away.
That was easier than expected, only 10 minutes.

Polnareff was still baffled trying to cope with everything. “That was it? A shame that such beauty was wasted on evilness.” You considered telling him about her real appearance but decided against it, there was no case.

“Well,” Joseph began. “Let us book an hotel room, we are departing tomorrow.”
Varanasi was an impressive place, and contrary to other places, the people didn’t surround you, there were vendors from time to time but nothing enough to bother you.

The looks were normal though. 

The hotel was pretty Impressive,  between the river and the market. Joseph booked 3 rooms and you ended up being assigned with Polnareff, again. The rooms were next to each other and the view was beautiful. 

“Look at that Missy, maybe us being together is part of the destiny.” He even giggled his inexistent eyebrows at you and slang an arm around your shoulders. “We have all day free right Mr Joestar?” After Joseph’s nood he returned to you. “Say, do you want to have a romantic afternoon with me?”

Internally you were screaming but on the outside you held a cool look.

“You do know that you are 7 years older than me right?”

“There is no age for love.”

“Tell that to the law.”

“Good grief,  Polnareff shut up.” Before Kakyoin could say anything to Jotaro, Avdol interrupted. “What if we go to eat and after that you may have the afternoon free?” 

-

The food was delicious, just as expected. Why was everything you had eaten so good? Joseph gave you each some money like the giving grandpa he was and left for some  errands with Avdol leaving Polnareff, Jotaro, Kakyoin and you, the first one struggling to keep focused. 

“Polnareff, we will be here all afternoon so there is enough time for you to find a girl to flirt with.” His eyes shone“Just...be polite with her. No resentment.” He nodded fastly and after a quick thanks he left the three of you. You walked though the city and after some time Kakyoin started spilling some general facts about the places you where in, he was interrupted mid sentence though.

“Hey!” A local girl approached you with her group of friends behind. “Are you looking for some fun? I know the best places for the both of you to see.” That would be nice actually.

“Really? Can-“ 

“I was speaking with them girl, not you.”

Ah.

Without saying anything Jotaro started to depart the place, not bothering to answer them and an big purple hand dragged you. After a quick apology Kakyoin catched up to you and you decided to speak. “You could have gone, I know how to return to the hotel.”

You actually didn’t but you figured that asking the locals wasn’t that difficult.

“They were annoying bitches.” Before you could protest, Kakyoin spoke.

“What Jotaro is trying to say is that there was no use, I already now most of the places, having come with my family before.” He looked irritated as if someone had dared to question his knowledge while Jotaro was annoyed for other reasons.

“Must be difficult being handsome, uh?” 

“Err- What?”

“Maybe those girls did it because they wanted to flirt with you but the could have had some additional knowledge being locals and all.”  Kakyoin may have been a smooth talker but whenever questioned about those topics he got red ears.

“That is why women are annoying, they are loud and dumb.”

“They didn’t even look older than 15.”

“All women I have met are like that.”

That was rude.

“Don’t be a jerk, women aren’t like that. Just because you have a preconception based k a your experiences it doesn’t mean that they are actually like that. They weren’t even mature after all. So yeah I get it girls always bother you because they fing you tall, buff and handsome but they are trying to catch your attention.” He was about to open his mouth but you didn’t give him a chance and got closer.

“Women are just as capable of men they can do anything men do, must have supposed that you thought lowly of me.”

“Good grief just-“

“Are you implying your mother is like that?”

Silence.

Aaah maybe you had crossed the line.

You had crossed the line, scratch that.

Kakyoin who had apparently left at the beginning of the discussion returned with an ice cream. “Guys I foun- Am I interrupting something?”Jotaro and you were too close to each other and your faced was flushed from exertion.

Oh shit.

Your face got even more red at the thought.
“Nothing Kakyoin, Jotaro and I just differed in something. Right JoJo?” Said  man just lowered the brim of his hat. “Well I found an ice cream post. Do you… want to go?”

“Ah, yes haha. What’s your icecream's flavor?”

“Cherry.” Uh, figures. “I didn’t know it even existed.”

“Well yes-“ He started going on how did he find the local as you made your way there. The place looked really nice so it must’ve been quite expensive and you would rather save the money to buy other things.

“2 medium icecreams.” Jotaro was ordering and he turned to look at you. “Flavor.”

Was he talking to you? 

“Vanilla…?”

“Vanilla and Chocolate.”

The vendor gave him the cones and he handed one to you, not really bothering to say anything. Was that his way of saying sorry?  Returning to the hotel you found yourself feeling bad so before he could enter with Kakyoin you grabbed his wrist.

“I am sorry for the way I spoke to you, I still maintain my point though.” He lowered the brim of his hat. “It is fine woman, just enter the damn hotel”

The rest of the day was passed languidly in their room and now you actually played some card's games. At night the three of you ordered some room service because Polanerff still hadn’t arrived, Jotaro even going as far as to order some beers.

“My Hierophant Green’s range is still far superior so in daily tasks he is better than at Platinum.”

“Star Platinum has super vision and super hearing.”

“Yeah but does he have any special habilities though? Hierophant can posses people, has emerald splash and can unroll himself.”

“Kakyoin has a good point Jotaro, at the moment Star Platinum still hasn’t developed any special technic.” After some comfortable silence Jotaro spoke again.

“At the moment?”

“Wait Missy, does that mean that Jotaro will develop some technics of his own?” Kakyoin almost groaned.

“Guys I don’t know if I should tell you, walls have ears after all.”

“Good grief woman, just tell us.”

“Mmm, nop. At least not for free.” Money, money, money.

“Hey! Now that I remember you owed me a favour.” 

Oh shit. “Do you seriously want to waste your favour on this? Even knowing it may not be safe?”

Of course they just nodded.

“Well, Jotaro may be able to acquire the hability to fly but I am not too sure.” Someone snorted. “Do you seriously want us to believe that he may be able to fly?” 

“What about a bet?” Just in time. “I am on it.”

“50 dollars that he can’t” You rolled your head. “Welll then the same amount but that he cans.”

Tipsy Kakyoin was wild, note to yourself.

“Tell me more about Star Platinum.” 

“Like what I think about him or what I know?” Jotaro shrugged after a small sip to his beer.
“Well apparently he has like an A in every stat like he has perfect strenght, speed, capacity to learn, defense and all that shit but he has like you know a small range.” Both of them hummed. “Well he has this weird hability to make his fingers long ,star finger, seriously you should find better names to your special moves or something. There is another thing but I am not sure whether I should tell you.” 

“Tell me.”

“50 dollars.” Kakyoin shocked on his beer. “Don’t sell your soul Jotaro.”

“Kakyoin?” Said man looked at you. “Is this your first time drinking?”

His cheeks were slightly flushed but after he heard the question they got even more red. Just like a cherry. 

Gdjsvshah

So cute.

“…Is it that obvious?” His tone made you laugh, hard and he slightly pouted. “Sorry, sorry it is just that Jotaro looks the same and well I am  sober so you just seem kind of tipsy. Don’t worry you are still cute.”

“You think I am cute?”

Well shit.

“Bro are your seriously asking me that? All of you are like really good looking, us mortals don’t have that privilege.” Jotaro was looking directly at you and he had a scowl. “As if.”

“Ah sorry, I must have said curse, the being handsome curse.” You had never been ashamed of telling people that they were good looking, you always told that to your friends but somehow the fact that you were telling these anime characters about their good looks made you feel kind of flustered.

“You-“ A knock sounded on the room, probably Polnareff. “Missy? Are you there?”
You were about to open the door but Jotaro was faster and so he ended up face to face with Polnareff. “Jojo! Have you seen Missy she is-“

“Hi Polnareff I am here.” His view lowered to Jotaro’s side and he looked scandalised.“Missy! What are you doing with them? And so late at that!”

“Yeah, yeah sorry Polnareff.” You turned one last time for your things and unconsciously gave Kakyoin a good night kiss on the cheek from his position on the floor. “Good night guys!” Polnareff spluttered as you kissed your hand and planted it to Jotaro’s cheek, he was too tall for you after all.

It wasn’t till you were out of the room, hearing Polnareff’s scolding, that weight of your actions caught up to you.

Bro.

BRO.

Fuck.

Error 404. Cannot be found.

After about 10 minutes of combusting you took a quick bath and settled to sleep hearing Polnareff’s voice singing in the shower.

Chapter Text

The next morning you had woken up with your head pounding.

Maybe you had been drunk? Whatever. Polnareff had woken you up not really subtly resulting in you getting angrier. You had gotten quickly changed and descended for some quick breakfast, your hair done in a quick bun with Polnareff’s comb.

Jotaro seemed along but you noticed that he flinched slightly at loud noises. Kakyoin, on the other hand, looked tired. He had some bags under his eyes and he was holding his head slightly, hair a tad bit dishevelled and skin slightly pale. He had one earring from Jotaro and one of his cherries.

Bro.

Joseph’s boisterous laugh made him flinch.

“Oh my God! What happened to you?”

“Nothing Mr Joestar, just had a tough night.”Joseph gave you a not too subtle look and grinned. “It must have been a tough night. And you Missy? Also had a tough night?”

“A bit Mr Joestar, Polnareff snores loudly after all.” Polnareff’s complains fell deaf to everyone’s ears as you got out of the hotel. A mama-mobile was waiting out there, different to the other car, adjusting to your needs.

Everyone hoped on their sits, Joseph being the first one to drive and Avdol at his right, Polnareff and Jotaro in the next row and finally Kakyoin and you at the last row being the most “slender” in the group.

“Oh! So you look like a girl Kakyoin?” Only 5 minutes in the teasing had already begun.

“Shut up Polnareff.”

“I am just saying that Joseph assumed that he has the physical form of a girl…” Besides you Kakyoin sighed, looking ready to murder someone, better intervene before it did happen. “And what is wrong with girls, Polnareff?”

“Nothing, nothing! They are the most perfect beings on the Earth, delicate like flowers and beautiful, just like you belle femme” As if to prove his point he sent you a kiss and while other times you would have humoured him or even bothered to argue with him, the sit was looking more appealing each time. 

-
Some snickers woke you up and a camera sound.

“What ha-“ A weight on your shoulder informed you of your situation. Kakyoin was sleeping on your shoulder, slightly snoring and Polnareff who had a camera in his hands (Probably Joseph’s property) was snickering slightly; Avdol wore a mix between an amused and disappointed look and Jotaro, well he was  sleeping against the window 
Joseph was grumbling about something but you couldn’t really hear him. You placed Kakyoin so that he was leaning on the window instead of leaning on you.  You made a quick move to snatch the camera but Polnareff was faster.

“Non non madmoiselle.” He returned to his seat. “This is mine.”

He gave the camera to Avdol and placed the photo on his bag. At least you could take it later. 

Meh.

The trip was uneventful and given the fact that there was no red car following you, you didn’t feel the need to inform them about the enemy stand user.

‘Mr Joestar?”

“What is it?”

“How much till Pakistan?”

“About 36 hours if we drive constantly but we will be taking breaks to stop to sleep inhotels so about 3 maybe 4 days,  give or take.” Avdol was the one who answered the question. “Why?”

The attack had occurred when the sun was at its peak and before that the car was sighted so today was probably going to be uneventful. “Nothing, nothing. Just wanted to know.”

Hr didn’t seem completely convinced but still dropped the subject and silence enveloped everything again. Polnareff was humming a song and Jotaro seemed to have woken up already. You considered drawing but that would probably make you dizzy or give you some motion sickness so you opted to watch outside of the window comfortably.

On times like this you really did miss your back at home gadgets, some music would have been awesome.

A shame.

Time passed and they made a stop for lunch. The place was rather rustic but the ambience and people made up for it giving it a rather homey facade. The food was great and after a small trip for snacks(courtesy of Joseph) at the gas station everyone changed places because apparently Joseph was tired of driving.

“Who is next?”

“Me! Me!” Polnareff excitedly elevated his hand like a little kid trying to participate on a class. “I was one of the best drivers back at ma belle France, even going as far as to participate in some races in my youth, ah those times…” 

Somehow the prospect of driving was appealing and you were tired of doing nothing in the back. The other benefit of being the one behind the wheel was that you got to choose the music and there was no way you were letting the opportunity pass.

“I can also drive Mr. Joestar, if that is okay with you, I will still need some directions though.”

“You can drive?” Kakyoin asked slowly as if the words were forcing themselves out of his mouth. “Well yes, I know how to drive, have known for some time.”

“But isn’t that… illegal?”

“Yeah! Aren’t you like 16 or something?” Polnareff kept eyeing you. “Are you sure you can?”

If only did they know that Giorno drove since he was 15. Seriously you had learned to drive bit by bit since you were 14 and you had a license and everything by the time you were 16. Bad thing this you didn’t have one.

“I am 17 and I even had a license back home.” How to convince them? “Anyway the roads are almost deprived of cars so there should be no problem right?”

After another small chat, insisting repeatedly and Jotaro’s encouraging words (“Just let the woman drive so that we can return to the car”) you found yourself driving the car and while driving on the left side of the road was weird, you adjusted quite quickly.

The distribution was changed and while Kakyoin stayed on the back seat, Polnareff joined him, his own self being replaced by Avdol and Joseph resulting in Jotaro on the front seat. The indications were simple enough as you drove through the India.

Time for the music

80s songs weren’t at the top of your playlist for nothing.

After some trouble with the radio and bothering Jotaro, you actually managed to find a station with songs in English and even gained enough confidence to turn the volume louder at the hummings you started hearing behind you. 

Jotaro’s voice was a surprise though.

Even if his actually weirdly harmonic voice shouldn’t surprise you considering that his father was a Jazz musician it managed to get you flustered enough and your cheeks slightly red, apparently he knew some songs.

You had always found driving pleasant so you lost yourself to the feeling and even sang some of the songs. And so the afternoon was passed okay all things considering if you excluded Polnareff’s weird screeching and Joseph’s occasional snores.

“We will stop in that Agra so direct the car to the city center as I wake up Mr. Joestar.”

Agra? Tha sounded familiar but you couldn’t quite figure out why.

“Ah yes Agra! The Taj Mahal…” Kakyoin started one of his monologues and holy shit. 
You were staying in the same place where the Taj Mahal was?

After some indications from Jospeh, you parked the car in a luxurious hotel.

God.

The room distribution changed this time, Joseph insisted in Jotaro staying with him and so Kakyoin was supposed to stay with Avdol but apparently Polnareff wanted to have his own “space” and “as much as he loved rooming with a beautiful woman like you sometimes a men needed solicitude”.

Kakyoin promptly refused to room with Polnareff, leaving Avdol as the other option and so the rooms ended as Joseph/Jotaro, Avdol/Polnareff and Kakyoin/you.

Not bad.

Your room had quite the view and so the entire palace could be seen from there, the hotel also counted with an indoor pool and this time you were determined to use it.

“Hey , Kakyoin.” He was placing his things on his bed and so he answered without turning. “Yes?”

“Wanna go to the pool?” His eyes still had some bags under them and he pursed his lips. ‘Isn’t it night already?”

“It is indoors” After some small debate he nodded, his ears slightly red. “Well! I will change my clothes, tell the others if the want to join.”

 Grinning, you went to the restroom and  proceeded to wear the swimsuit that you had found in not-home. It was a modest black one piece that fit your body perfectly and you wore some shorts over it to cover yourself on your way to the pool.

You got out expecting to see Kakyoin in some trunks or a shirt but you found him as you left him.

In his freaking uniform.

“Kakyoin?”

“Are you ready Missy?” You gave him a look over. “Where are your clothes?”

“What do you mean where? I have them on.”

“It is your fucking uniform.” He extended his lips. “You must have some shorts somewhere I will go out and wait for you. Will someone join?”

“Joseph said that he will try to convince Jotaro to join us, Avdol said he wanted the rest and Polnareff said he was coming.” You nodded and got our of the room to let Kakyoin get changed. 

You stood out of the room for some moments and after about 3 minutes he got out with some shorts and a t-shirt, probably the one he wore under the uniform. You got to the pool swiftly and you spotted Polnareff there, he was talking with some lady as expected form him.

You settled the towels on a chair and not even a minute had passed when Jotaro and Joseph made an appearance. You tried not to look but weren’t able. He wore some shorts a tad bit big(probably Joseph’s) and his typical hat.

No shirt.

Hdjsvhqba.

You were fine, yep completely fine.

“Good to see you decided to make an appearance JoJo!” Polnareff’s enthusiasm was contrasting with Jotaro’s mood. “Missy! Has anyone told you how magnifique do you look in that attire?” You laughed a bit, feeling quite flustered at his words.

“Jotaro, good to see you joined us.” He nodded slightly and after turning you felt some eyes roam your form, probably Polnareff. “The old man forced me to come.”

“My condolences.” Your tone was sarcastic but you gave him a small smile. Notvwasting more time you dove into the water quickly, it was lukewarm and even if it smelled a bit like bleach, the water felt nice.

The other followed you close enough, Polnareff redirecting a grinn to the girl from before  and made a mortal , landing in the water perfectly.

Honestly it was kind of awesome. 

The rest of evening was pleasant enough and at some point you ended up fighting against Kakyoin and Jotaro in Joseph’s shoulders.

All in all it was great.

Dinner was an interesting affair in a restaurant near to the hotel with view of the Taj Mahal. Finally, Kakyoin and you returned to your room and you bathed first promptly launching yourself to the bed and falling deeply asleep.

-
“AAAAAAAAAHH!!!!”

Screams woke you up and without thinking you stood up and took a shoe as if to defend yourself, after some millisecond and registering the situation you found that it was actually Kakyoin who screamed so you went to his bed and kindly tried to calm him down.

“Are you alright?”

He was sweating and his eyes were blood shot but after gulping he answered. “Yeah, I am fine I just…” He made some weird moves with his hands before yawning. “had a bad dream, that’s all.”

A bad dream?

I sounded way too familiar to the baby stand and while he wasn’t supposed to appear till later there was no telling.

Had Dio finally found out? You shuddered and silently prayed that it wasn’t it.

Some knocks were heard on the door and you stood up to open it, giving Kakyoin a look. “ Everything fine? We heard someone scream.” Avdol already has his usual clothes and even seemed fresh enough to start a new day.

“Everything is fine, Kakyoin just had a bad dream.” Said Kakyoin had already stood up and was grimacing by your side. “A bad dream indeed.”

After getting ready, you had some light breakfast in the hotel and went to the already known mini-van.  This time Polnareff took the wheel with Kakyoin by his side, Joseph and Avdol in the middle and Jotaro and you at the back. It was certainly more tight than with Kakyoin but fine nonetheless.

No baby stand user at sight.

You exhaled, kind off relieved, you were supposed to encounter the car stand after all and everything seemed to follow it’s course. It was early in the morning and the car wasn’t supposed to appear till midday so you made your self comfortable in the sit.

“Jotaro?” He acknowledge you with a look.

“Can you wake me up in about 2 hours, if I haven’t woken up by that time, I mean.” 
He nodded slightly and closed your eyes, drifting to sleep.

-
You opened your eyes in a carrousel.

Ah

Fuck. Baby stand uh?

 Kakyoin was sitting by your side, his eyes blown wide. “Missy! We are trapped within a stand that uses dreams! It is the same place that I was in yesterday.” His eyes narrowed unexpectedly and he stood up fastly. “Why didn’t you tell us about this stand?”

He had taken a defensive posture so you raised your hands slowly. “Kakyoin, this… this wasn’t-“ Being honest you were kind off panicking considering that the Baby wasn’t supposed to appear till later.

Had Dio already discovered you?

The floor started trembling and the carrousel tumbled. “What do we have here?” You turned slowly and found yourself face to face with The Death 13 stand. Watching it in the anime it had seemed creepy but now from up close it was downright scary.

The stand didn’t waste time and made a move to slay you. You sure as hell didn’t want to prove if you were invulnerable in the dream or if you weren’t so you got away and the scythe ended up slicing your bangs slightly.

Shit.

“Looks like your so called prediction was a farce uh girl? I will cut your heads. Die!”

Kakyoin positioned himself in front of you as if trying to protect you. “The stands don’t work here Missy.” When was Jotaro bound to wake you up? Kakyoin took out his knife and started scratching his wrist, the blood flaking thickly from his wrist.

You would need to tend that but at the time it was the best move, after all you probably weren’t going to remember any of it later.

-
You woke up with a gasp and a headache, Jotaro was shaking you so that meant that the car stand was supposed to appear soon if everything went as planned. You passed your fingers through your hair, it was unusually unruly after all.

You dismissed it, it was probably the heat.

“Thank-“ A loud bang interrupted your thoughts and you spotted Kakyoin kicking the front part of the car, even hitting Polnareff. “Hey! What is the matter with you Kakyoin?”

Said man didn’t answer and his movements became more erratic, causing Polnareff to make some harsh turns. “He is asleep! Hey Kakyoin, wake up!”

He was…asleep?

Oh shit.

Could it be Death 13?

 Last time you checked there were no babies on the car(and you had checked) so why was Kakyoin acting that way? As if on cue a car kept trying to go faster. “Jeez! What is up with everyone today?”

“Polnareff, watch out!” Kakyoin delivered a kick to the wheel and Polnareff lost control of the car. “Holy shit!” 

You looked behind just to prove your answer and there it was, a red car bumping into you. “Guys!” Polnareff was still struggling to retain control and the rest of the crusaders turned to you. “Someome wake up Kakyoin! Now! There are 2 enemy stands!”

“What 2 enemy stands woman?!”

Fuckfuckfuck.

The car bumped into you one last time and given the already uncontrolled wheel it drifted towards the end of the road.

As you made your way to the fall only a thought predominated in your brain.
Had Dio found out?

Chapter Text

Falling was actually less awful than the last time.

Maybe it was thanks to your already acquired experience? Probably. It was still scary anyways so not really thinking you grabbed onto what was closer to you, grasping it for dear life even if you knew the fall wasn’t supposed to hurt you, that being Jotaro’s forearm.

“KAKYOIN!”

Said man had woken up with the bumping sound and had currently taken Hierophant Green. “No Kakyoin, your stand won’t be able to support the weight!” Just like in the anime he looked smug as he spoke. “Not to offend Mr. Joestar but I know the limits of my own stand.” His stand made a quick job of placing the cable and Star Platinum appeared, with just a quick look from Jotaro the stand started pulling the car to the surface of the cliff.

You had to remind yourself to keep a serious face in order to stop an excited scream. 

As soon as you reached the top, wheels of fortune started sending its gasoline bullets.. “Avdol don’t take out your stand! They are pressured gasoline!” Just as you informed them the  gasoline hit the mini van and with its already damaged state an explosion was inevitable.

“Everyone get out of the vehicle!” Joseph’s shout cut through the air and everyone got out as quickly as they could, what they didn’t take in count was that getting out of the backseats wasn’t easy so you had to wait till everyone left to-

A sound and a crunch interrupted your line of thought as Jotaro had Star Platinum make a hole. “Don't let go.” Without more advice he dragged the both of you out of the vehicle just in time for it to catch in flames, if it wasn’t for the fact that you were already flushed thanks to the heat, the closeness would have gotten you like that.

Fuck.

Rip for your backpack though.

Now that you thought about the attacks, they were way more straightforward than the last time, quicker. Why did they exactly think? Did they think that you knew about the stands abilities? Did they think that it was some sort of prediction? That you knew about the stats for each stand and each user? What was it?

The bullets kept firing and for you while they didn’t hurt, they still made holes to your uniform. The others weren’t in the same position. Holes could be seen in their bodies, especially in Polnareff’s given the fact that his clothing was quite revealing.

How much pain resistance did this men have? Polnareff and Avdol flinched but you were sure that normal people would be on the ground by the moment. 

Before you could say something Star Platinum made a quick job of disposing the car through the cliff. 

You started counting backwards much to everyone's confusion.

“Oh no!” Joseph’s scream, right on time.“It is climbing up!” 

“Is there anything this car can’t do?”  They were looking directly at you as if waiting for an answer.

 “Good grief, looks like we are going to have to face it. Everyone stay back. Once it climbs up here we are going to see it’s underside and decide who is stronger.”

Jrjineinek. So cool.

Kakyoin was about to speak but you interrupted him, the burning of Jotaro’s jacket was unnecessary and so you felt the need to advice him. So before he made a move you took one of his wrists, dragging him down slightly. “The car's wires may burn you up, be careful.” 

Just as the car was starting to appear into view you let him go. “Oh my Jotaro! You are quite energetic, but not smart at all!”

After hearing the user’s voice through the radio Jotaro grinned confidently.

No one was really impressed about his gasoline bullets explication though. “Ah I see you already figured out but that will not help you! These electric wires will spark!”  The electricity reached Jotaro’s body and he made no move, catching fire.

“Jotaro!” Joseph struggled to get free from Polnareff and as much as you wanted to confort him, you mustn’t. The enemy didn’t need to know more about you. These changes were bearable but more could be worse. “I win part three is over and you can’t do anything about it!”

“Don’t Mr Joestar! Our bodies are covered in gasoline too!”

“Then go and make something Missy! Help him!” He sounded desperate and tried to appeal to you, his eyes reflected pain and you honestly felt bad for him, for them. So mustering courage you shook your head, your eyes directly at his. “I can’t.” His eyes opened slightly and his face hardened.

The user’s laugh was unnerving.

“And who exactly is going to replace me, Jotaro Kujo?”

Holy shit. 

“It was just his jacket?!” The nerve of Jotaro to destroy his poor jacket. Still if he resurfacing from the ground wasn’t the hottest thing around  you didn’t know what was. “Before you said something about what a road is.” He had?  “You are wrong, roads are made and I will show you how one is done.”

With that, Star Platinum pummeled the user and the car, throwing the user to the ground several meters.

“And that is how a road is made.” Where did Jotaro even acquire all the corny phrases?
They were a mix between epic and funny but his smug look as he made was just-

Anyways, you couldn’t help the laugh that escaped you as the user was revealed, he was funny looking but at the same time and all  but at same time…you felt bad and your laugh died.

Had his stand upgraded the car to cover up his insecurities, only showing his arms?How did he even acquire it?  Did all stands have something to do with that? They were the representations of the user’s soul but a separate entity at the same time. 

Weren't they?

How did he even come in contact with someone like Dio? How did the BABY get in contact?

Weird.

“His car returned to its original form. It is pretty norma-“ Avdol was interrupted by Polnareff. “Hey guys what do you think about chaining him up?”

“Yesss, I reminds me of my old days, when I was your age I had to-“ 

“No one cares Jiji.” Joseph pouted. “Don’t be rude to your own grandpa! Jeez this generation doesn’t respect their seniors. Why can’t you be like sweet Missy over there?!” 

Said Missy was about to take out a snot when you heard him, quickly changing your hand so that I looked as if you were scratching your nose.

Nailed it.

“Ah yes?” 

“I was telling one of my epic stories when my grandson interrupted me! Scold him Missy, apparently he only reasons with your words!”

What?

“Excuse me?” He continued speaking. “Yes like that time with Kakyoin over the women are equal thin-“ HAD HE BEEN SPYING YOU WITH HIS STAND?

Ah.

AH.

"Jiji were you-"

“Ehem Mr Joestar, what was this about chaining him?” Thank God for Kakyoin, bless his gamer soul. “Ah yes!” Joseph would live another day.

Apparently no one heard about the fight and you watched as Avdol lifted the user like a pillow and they chained him to the rock with Joseph taking his passport to avoid any unwanted appearances. Watching that the vehicle was destroyed you were now supposed o travel on the man’s car. It would have been fine if it wasn’t for the fact that you were 6, consisting in 2 super buff tall men, 2 other super buff men, 1 above average buff men and a girl.

To avoid any trouble Joseph would be the one riding, Avdol the copilot; at the back Polnareff at the right side, Kakyoin I’m the middle thanks to his narrower hips and Jotaro on the left. Now it just left you. 

“Are you sure that you don’t want to be the one who sits over another person Kakyoin? I mean no one will really judge you and I am sure that Polnareff and Jotaro would be glad to have you on their legs err- not that way just you sure you don’t want to ride over them?”

Why were you nervous? It wasn’t as if you hadn’t sat over other people on rides because even off you usually were the one under you had been on top before,  the only difference was that this time it was on a man, an incredibly handsome men.

You forced your facial muscles to relax as Kakyoin shook his head. “No thank you Missy I am fine in the middle.”

Well, you tried.

“Don’t worry Missy! I assure you that my legs are trés comfortable for a belle fille like you-“ They had already taken their sits you were the last one. “ Missy?”

“Yes Avdol?” Hearing him speak sometimes calmed you down and while sitting on Kakyoin’s legs was out of option, Polnareff made you somewhat nervous and Jotaro was kind off intimidating, he had also taken the most damage.  “ If you are uncomfortable you may as well take the front sit, we will manage.”

Was this man for real? 

You were about to answer when Jotaro spoke. “Good grief, just take a damn sit. Avdol your presence in the back would just make this trip uncomfortable.” With that, he dragged you to his lap and your brain promptly stopped working.

Joseph took that moment to turn on the car and made his way to the road, after all Pakistan was stil pretty far away. You reconnected when your nickname sounded in the conversation. “Missy why did you say 2 stand users?”

The baby stand user! He hadn’t been on the car so,  how had he entered your minds? Had he been in another car and following you? 
You quickly explained them the situation with Kakyoin’s help. 

“So we are encountering a stand that appears on dreams?” You nodded at Polnareff’s question and Joseph sighed. “Mr Joestar, this stand makes you forget about the dream and if it wasn’t for Missy’s knowledge, we may have not known about this danger.” Kakyoin grasped his left wrist, not mentioning the cuts on it and giving you a pleading look.

“How do we confront it?”

“Well, I know for a fact that if a stand user goes to sleep with his stand active, they may be able to fight Death 13.” Polnareff spoke after your information. “The stand is called Death 13? I don’t even want to imagine how does the user look like. Wait. How does the user look like?”

How does one explain that the user is a baby with some sadistic tendencies? Directly.

"The user is a baby with sadistic... tendencies." In your defense it sounded way cooler in your mind.

“Missy.” Joesph’s voice was hesitant. “Are you…sure?”

“Indeed Mr Joestar.” 

“You aren’t getting confused or anything right? I mean the heat is strong and it will be totally-“ Polnareff started rambling on and on, you sighed slightly at his words but Avdol interrupted him. “A stand user may be anyone, we have encountered even an orangutan so pardon me if I being rude but I don’t see why is it difficult to believe.”

You gave Avdol a small smile and mouthed a thank you as Kakyoin spoke. “ It is important that we take out our stands when we want to sleep to prevent any casualties. Actually, it would be better to avoid sleeping till we get to the hotel. Missy?” You looked at him. “Will the uhm…user be able to harm you?”

Would he be able? You touched your chopped bangs slightly. If he was able to harm your hair, will he be able to harm your body?

“I…I don’t know, I think he was able to cut some of my hair but I am not sure if it was because we were in the dream world or because he can harm me.” You would need to look for some scissors to cut it properly later.

Polnareff touched some strands of your hair softly, making your cheeks feel warm and without advicing Chariot quickly cut them. 

Uh?

Had he just cut your hair? Just like that?

“Looks like your hair can be damaged Missy but don’t worry! You still look just as beautiful.” You were still processing what happened when Jotaro spoke for the first time since the beginning of the conversation.

“We still aren’t sure if the fucker can harm the woman.” You turned to look at him and all shame you had felt disappeared after looking at his condition. He looked pale, and his wounds, even if they had stopped bleeding, were still open. If you looked closely enough (and you were close) anyone could notice that his eyes looked tired and given the situation he couldn’t fall asleep.

How had you forgotten about their injuries?
You interrupted the conversation. “Polnareff can you lend me your bag?”

“Uh? What for?” He held it closely to his chest and you sighed. “You have some kind of first aid kit there, don’t you?” He opened his mouth slightly but you didn’t let him speak. “I don’t know if you have noticed gentlemen but the wounds you have may get infected, specially the ones form Jotaro, given the fact that he took most of the damage so Polnareff give me your bag.”

He gave it to you with robot like motions, his mouth tight and eyes still open, too surprised to speak as you made a quick job of cleaning your hands and distributing the bandaids. Jotaro still looked tired and as you moved on his lap to touch the wounds he flinched, he probably wasn’t in condition to treat his wounds so silently you desinfected the ones that could be seen and placed the sterile gazes on them.

For looking so dumb, Polnareff was indeed prepared.

“Everyone ready?” As you turned to them you noticed Avdol taking a photo just in the the click sounded.

Goddamit.

Again?

"Avdol, I know you are a reasonable man so I will kindly ask you to lend me the camera." Avdol handed it to you. "I am sorry Missy, Mr Joestar here threatened me to do it." Joseph sputtered. "I did no such thing do-"

Someone cleared their throat and Kakyoin spoke. “Ah yes Missy, everyone ready.” You nodded and willed your blush down, silently placing the things on Polnareff’s bag and returning it to him.

Joseph’s voice broke the silence. “Who is up to some singing? We can’t have you falling asleep after all!” 

You seriously didn't think that the baby would attack soon but prevention was better than suffering form the consequences so making yourself as comfortable as you could and shaking Jotaro in the way you agreed.

"How about a small competition?"

Chapter Text

As the sun advanced through the sky, so had the dessert heat and with it the cold had hit the group just as the sun set.

Your competition about who knew the most songs had ended some hours ago with Polnareff as the actual winner.

Little shit.

“What hour is it?” Nights on December in India came quickly, the sun set being around 5:30. “9:30 o clock, we must find a place to sleep.” 

While the cold was actually useful to keep you awake, sleep was needed and as long someone took out their stand you figured that sleeping was safe. “Uh? Where? There doesn’t seem to be any town on view?”Polnareff had voiced what you supposed were common doubts, after all by that moment you had only slept in hotels so with no town on view, how were you going to?

“We were supposed to reach a close town but the when stand issue didn’t let us reach our destination.” Joseph sighed. “And as much as I would like to sleep on a bed, everyone is clearly tired and reaching the closest town would take you at least an hour and that is considering  that we will have to find a hotel.”

Being honest you had been feelin your eyes dropping for some time and you knew that the rest of the crusaders were in similar conditions, Polnareff even splashed some water on Kakyoin’s face after he closed his eyes for longer than 5 seconds. 

It would have been funny if it wasn’t for the fact that you actually feared for Polnareff’s life.

Jotaro had been quiet most of the time, only talking when spoken to and on some songs if provoked but considering his current state he was probably the one who was tired the most. “-and so we will be sleeping on the dessert this time.” Avdol’s calm voice dragged you out of your thoughts.

You were sleeping on the dessert?

Uh, figures.

“Everyone okay with it?”

You didn’t really have a problem with sleeping out considering that you had camped before and that you had slept in similar conditions but the problem was that this time around you had no clothes and no sleeping bag. Polnareff nodded, not objecting at all (he had some kind of cover in that bag of his) Avdol had his bag and so Joseph, who probably carried Jotaro’s and his. Kakyoin had his uniform and it was quite covering but you…

A damaged uniform and dirty shoes. Not exactly warm.

“Mr Joestar?” Kakyoin voiced his concerns about his lack of sleeping bag but Joseph laughed. “Don’t worry Kakyoin! I packed an extra sleeping for cases like this!”

“What about me?” There were 2 persons lacking sleeping bag after all. You had asked the question just as Joseph stopped in the middle of no where but near the road but at the same time, fair enough. You got down and unraveled your legs, if they were cramped you didn’t even want to imagine Jotaro’s. 

“Err-“ Joseph pursed his lips in a thinking pose but suddenly his whole mannor changed and a grin broke. “Well you see Missy, I am sure you are small enough to fit with one of the guys!.”

Your face got redder than it had been in a while, and that is saying something so you ignored Polnareff’s attempts to get you to sleep besides him. He was a good guy and kind of one of your favourite characters but you weren’t sure if his small cover would be enough to cover the both of you.

 Joseph was a no no so that left Avdol, Jotaro and Kakyoin.

VDBSJBALSJQKBSKQAJFAKBSANJS.

Might as well die. 

“Good grief Jiji” Jotaro lowered the brim of his hat and you saw as a small fire was lit up by Magician’s Red. “Here woman, shut up.” He placed his sleeping bag in your arms and while the shut up thing would usually make you mad you couldn’t really complain all things considered. “Err thank you but won’t you be cold?” He shrugged slightly and you could almost swear that you saw the corner of his lips raise.

“Well! Now that it is settled I will make the first guard!” Joseph’s voice interrupted you. “Avdol will be next and Polnareff would have the last turn so go to sleep!”

After everyone placed their sleepings near the fire and a reminder to take out their stands before sleeping you drifted to sleep knowing that everything would be (mostly) alright.

When you were little you used to have nightmares and so, you had developed the habit to wake up on the middle of the night every night. The sleeping bag you were in was quite hot but outside it the air felt chilly, cold even and you knew that through the night it was only bound to get colder. The fire had mastly died down but the moon kept everything illuminated. Surrounding each user, their stands were resting and their ethereal appearances made the ambience look beautiful.

All in all it was impressive.

You must have made some sound because the next thing you knew a purple warrior was in front of you and you had to cover your mouth to stop a scream. 

“Ora!” His face, which kind off reflected Jotaro’s, had a small smile on it and you almost combusted right there. “Jotaro? Are you awake?” You whispered to the lump besides you but said man didn’t acknowledge you, he must have been asleep then. “Ora!”

“Shhh!” If Star didn’t keep the sounds lower someone would wake up. He was about to open his mouth to say another excited Ora but you quickly interrupted him, placing one of your hand on his face, covering his mouth. 

Oh God. 

“Star Platinum please be quite, we don’t want to wake up someone.” The stand just nodded slightly as you made a he took your hands in his to move them. “Okay, okay. You can let go, I won’t touch you anymore.” It is needless to say that he didn’t let go, instead he swiftly embraced you.

Holy shit. 

Now that was something no one could see.

“Please let me go!” He didn’t let go so you moved as much as you could to look at Jotaro to see if there was somehow a way he was messing with you. As you looked at him you saw him shivering slightly, his face neutral but his body shaking in a way that was almost unnoticeable and the last traces of the fire barely managed to capture.

Oh.

Jotaro must have been cold and Star Platinum probably acted on his necesity of warmth and so he must have unconsciously looked for something to cover. It was either Kakyoin or you and his stand, watching you wake up, must have deemed you the best option. So not really knowing what to do and frankly way too tired for well, everything you got as comfortable as you could on Star Platinum’s arms and tried to cope with your massive blush before sleeping.

If only you knew someone was watching.

-

The next morning everything appeared calm, apparently no stand user attacked you throughout the night. Polnareff seemed tired so he decided to avoid driving , instead he took out his Chariot and drifted to sleep on the backsit. This time you had been settled(again) on Jotaro’s legs your back to the window. 

(“Wouldn’t it be better if sat on me?” 

“You are literally falling on your feet.”)

Surprisingly enough Kakyoin had taken it upon himself to drive and so Polnareff ended up being the one on the middle with Avdol by his side. You still hadn’t forgotten the ehm night incident but there was no way you were telling Jotaro, or anyone for the matter.

The hours passed and even if some conversation did happen the ambience was quite gloomy.

“Can we turn on the music?”

“No, Polnareff is sleeping.”

“Lowly?” From the rearview you saw him tighten his grip on the wheel, the car slightly slipping to the other side but he quickly manoeuvred it back to your side. “Is it because you get distracted?”

“Your next words will be 'No it has nothing to do with it'” Joseph’s catch phrase was just- you had to raise a hand to cover half of your face and stop the bigass grin threatening to appear on your face. “No, it has nothing to- what?” Joseph didn’t even try to hide his boisterous laugh and even in Jotaro sighed and Avdol just smiled so you couldn’t resist the ugly sound that escaped your mouth. 

“That was awesome Jo-Mr Joestar.” He just grinned. “Thank you Missy! Nice to see someone appreciates the good humour too.”

“Good grief girl don’t encourage him or he will never actually shut up.” You were sure that Jotaro would have dropped the brim of his hat if it wasn’t for you impeding him. “I just find it funny!”

“Hey Missy, do you want to hear the story about the time when I defeated the Aztec Gods of Fitness?” God yes. “I would be honoured Me Joestar.”

“It all started when I was younger, a tad bit older than you…” His story was funny and you couldn’t help but notice the way his eyes softened when he spoke about Ceasar, you noticed that while the story had some inconsistencies probably due to the time that had transferred, Joseph’s face glowed as he spoke about his battles. You didn’t know how much time transferred but as he finished his story Polnareff spoke, having waken up somewhere along it.

“Is there any chance this guy uh, Cars somehow comes back to Earth?” 

“I don’t know but I don’t really think so, last time I checked the man was in space.”

“What about your mother though? From what you said she seemed lively enough.” The fact that Kakyoin was the one who asked the question only worked to ensure his reputation as a Milf hunter.

“What is a Milf?” 

Ah.

Fuckfuckfuck.

From the rear view you saw Kakyoin blush red and Polnareff started cackling besides you, his face even getting red from effort.

“Good one Missy!” 

“Hey don’t change the topic! Avdol, what is a Milf?” Avdol’s smile tightened. “I am afraid you are better left in the unknown Mr. Joestar.” Kakyoin’s eyes screamed murder and you just mouthed a sorry. Even Jotaro behind you huffed slightly.

“If you don’t mind Mr Joestar, I think Polnareff wants to drive.”

“Uh?” 

“Sure Kakyoin, just pull over there.” After exchanging sits Polnareff began riding and he turned on the radio. Not even 30 minutes passed when some fog started appearing, at the beginning it was easy to see through it but as time passed it became steadily thicker.

Enya it is.

“Polnareff can you turn the volume down?” 

“Uh sure, what is it?” Polnareff drove slowly as you began your speech. “This fog is work of an enemy stand.” After receiving different reactions you explained them what was probably bound to happen as well as how could Jotaro defeat the user, not really wanting to risk anything. 

“So the user is an old woman?” You nodded. “Then we enter the city book the hotel, defeat the user and leave quickly, no problems madmoiselle.” 

“We have to be careful Polnareff, there could be some changes.”

You couldn’t shake off the feeling that it couldn’t be so easy so in case anything happened you remained besides the car to ensure that it didn’t disappear.

Polnareff entered the city and the place looked as deserted as in the anime, only few decrepit souls could be seen through the roads and they looked lifeless. Polnareff parked the car and as you got out Avdol looked for someone to ask directions, spotting the man on the ground, only this time he wasn’t dead.His face had some form of injuries in it as well as ours leaking through his pores but he was alive.

Interesting.

“Excuse me gentleman can you tell me where the hotel is?” The man just rose his hand to the left not bothering to say a word. 
You shuddered and besides you Jotaro silently lighted up a cigarette, Kakyoin (who was still kind of mad with you) frowned at the scene but said nothing. Seeing that the car hadn’t disappeared the group got on and slowly made their way to the hotel.

“Are you sure this is the place Missy?” To be honest you didn’t really remember the outer appearance of the place and so you shrugged. Suddenly someone exited the inn.

A beautiful woman with tan skin and robes exited the place, her hair was light blond and her lips pink. All in all she was beautiful, Enyaba must have taken her time building her up to the illusion. “Welcome to our inn.” Her voice was melodic and it sounded real. Had the old woman kidnapped someone to serve her? It was unlikely.

Joseph looked at you and you nodded not really knowing what to do. His face relaxed and he took a step forward. “Good evening! Do you by casualty have any rooms left? You see the fog…” Subtly you turned around to look for the car and as expected it was missing. Avdol and Jotaro must have noticed it too if their gazes indicated anything. There was no doubt that Enya resided in the town, the problem was, where?

“Ah yes, do not worry please follow me.” She entered the inn and to be honest it was quite nice inside, simple but nice. A shame that it was an illusion. “Just write your names on this guest book, I need to tell to report to the owners after all.” Everyone started writing some false name and so you ended up writing Elizabeth as your name, the story from Joseph still present in your head.

“6 rooms? They are for 1 person.”

“Ah no, we are trying to save money lady so 3 rooms will be okay.” Joseph answered her and she hummed slightly, not faced. “So you don’t own the place?” The woman’s expression turned surprised at Kakyoin’s question. “Oh no Sir! I just work here.” She moved to the stairs and signaled you to follow her. She showed you the rooms and they were exactly what you expected, singles.

You could see from miles away that Polnareff was checking her out. “If you need me I will be downstairs on the bar.”

Still no signs from Enya or Hol horse, you would have to investigate the lower floor at some point.

 Polnareff took one key and at the lack of initiative from Jotaro and Kakyoin you took the other one, entering the room as if nothing happened and waiting for them to decide who was rooming with you. The room had a double bed and a TV. After checking out everything you noticed someone entering..
Jotaro so that meant Kakyoin was with Polnareff.

Sighing, Jotaro entered and sat on the end of the bed. “Are you just going to stand there?” Forcing yourself to keep a straight face at the prospect of sharing a room with Jotaro you sat down, your shoulders dropping. 

Your uniform was ripped and you had no other clothes because your old ones burned, you would need to ask Joseph to buy you more. “What do you think?”  His voice startled you slightly. “I dunno the woman isn’t who I was expecting, you?”

“I don’t trust her.” He didn’t? “Something  is off with her.”  You hummed, not knowing how to answer and removed your shoes, the knife from the first hotel making itself known, you noticed Jotaro eyeing it with a raised brow. “Well, I may not be at risk of physical damage but there are other ways to stop someone.”

“You sure you don’t have a stand?” Again that question. “Maybe the fact that you aren’t hurt is the manifestation, like a shield.” That was.. accurate. “Can be but when it comes to a fight anyone could be able to take me down so I carry the knife in case someone tries to rob me or something.”

Without advice he took out Star Platinum, his face contorted in a grin. “Fight me.” 

Hdjsbns God.

“As much as I would like to (no, seriously) the space is to crowded with your stand here.” The room was like 3 meters for 4 meters for fucks sake. He sighed and his stand vanished, waving at you slightly. “You are right.” Thank you Jotaro for being a reasonable person. “I won’t even need my stand woman.”

Ah?

“Or is it that you are afraid?” Without advance he punched you in the stomach, making your head end up in the wall. So he wanted to play like that uh?

-

“Hey guys do you have a bathro-“ Jotaro and you had been struggling with each other (more like you as a boxing bag when he tried to explain and the occasional bite/punch from your part) so you had ended up in a ehem compromising position. Polnareff stopped mid sentence, and after some silence he made a move to close the door.

Shit.

Your face was so red right now.

“Jean Pierre Polnareff come back here at this instant.” He re-entered the room and you sighed, silently explaining that Jotaro was teaching you how to fight and promptly ignored his bemused sounds. “Okay madmoiselle, now if you excuse I will go to the bar to ask the beautiful femme.”

Somehow you felt betrayed. After calming your blush because bro you had just been phisically close to Jotarofor2timesaththedayevenifthefirstonewas-

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

“Let us go behind him.” Uh? Oh yes Polnareff. Silently you cursed yourself from your mind. “Let’s.”

You arrived just in time to see Polnareff being stabbed by the young woman’s scissors. “Well done! Now you will suffer from my Justice’s control!” From under an old coach the body of Hol Horse could be seen struggling to get out so that meant that Enya must have encountered him too.

Wait.

That was Enya?

“Usually I would torture you but there is no chance risking it! After I end you I will go and kill each of your friends just like you did to my beautiful son HAHAHAHA!” The wound on Polnareff’s hand quickly turned into a hole and his whole body turned limp, falling from his sit and onto the floor.

Shit, that would leave a mark.

Jotaro took that moment to enter the bar and the woman froze in place, after some seconds he spoke again. “Well, aren’t you going to show me your stand?”

“I see you found out but don’t worry any dirty trick you have won’t work because I have already shown it to you!” Hands trespassed the walls and people entered the place like nothing, bodies in different stages of decomposition ready to attack the both of you but before you could even lift a finger Star Platinum took care of them in a rush of hits, disposing of them.

“My stand Justice will win!” She started laughing her face morphing and her body melting to show her true appearance, the one you where familiar with. But before the weird ass baby could injure Jotaro’s leg, Star Platinum kicked it through the window. “I will kill you and make Lord Dio, Ehh?!”

“The fog is her stand…” Hol Horse didn’t even finish his warning , processing the scene. “Uh?!” Star Platinum inhaled the fog and Enyas started to feel the effects of it, her body twisting before eventually getting unconscious and hitting the ground. 

“It looks like her head was full of the fog she liked so much.” 

Seriously what the fuck with his phrases.

Still you couldn’t help but smile as you rushed to Polnareff’s side to help treat his hand. His tongue was fine but his hand had been  severed from the side where Enya had made the hole.  “Ah! I can’t help but think that I was flirting with that old lady!” 

“Well at least you weren’t the only one.” You saw Hol Horse trying to leave subtly before he caught your gaze. “Don’t even think about leaving or I am sure Jotaro here will gladly have his stand punch you to oblivion.” Hol Horse's body stilled and he slowly retreated his steps till he was by your side. 

“Well hello beauty, our reunion must be destiny.” Frankly you liked his character but at the same time his err flirting tendencies made you king or weirded out. “Oh yes, destiny.” You voice sounded as monotone as you could manage.

As if on cue the rest of the crusaders ran into the room, taking in the situation so you quickly explained them what has happened while Jotaro tied Enya. “We get that Missy but… what do we do with him?” Hol Horse was trying to sneak off, again. “You never learn do you?” Taking a step forward, Avdol placed a hand on said man’s shoulder and gave him a big smile.

“I guess it’s time we have a small chat about Dio Mr Hol Horse.”

Chapter Text

The talk with Hol Horse was…enlightening.

Avdol had somehow made him agree to stop siding with Dio(more like threatened him and offered him some money) but he was still under surveillance. The good news were that at least your vehicle remained intact, the bad news where that you were about 8 people and the vehicle was for 5. 

When you were younger you had somehow managed to fit 11 persons on a 5 people car but they were kids, now you were 6 men, an old lady and well, you.

“I don’t mean to be rude Mr Joestar but, how are we even supposed to fit?!” Joseph has that thinking pose and while you assumed that he would be the one driving, being the largest man, you needed to find a way to fit.

“Well fellas, fancy meetin' ya now that everythin' is settled I will be leaving.” Just as Hol Horse was about to run, Polnareff grabbed him. “No, you won’t be going anywhere Monsieur!”

“Let’s see…” Suddenly Joseph’s face brightened as he looked at Kakyoin, somehow you didn’t have a good feeling.

After some struggling, Joseph ended up driving with Avdol as the copilot but this time, Kakyoin was sat between them with a mortified look on his face. “Sorry Kakyoin but Missy doesn’t take that much space and you are the only one that fits other than her.” On the back Polnareff sat by the door with Hol Horse squeezed between him and Jotaro whereas you ended up sprawled over them while trying to keep your modesty. 

You surely needed new clothes.

“Are you sure that this will work?” Enya was tied outside, covered with a bed sheet you had found and the sleeping bags to avoid suspicions. “Oh course! Why wouldn’t it?”

Sometimes Joseph’s way of thinking made you both amused and scared.

The road was mostly silent and between Hol Horse's amusing flirting and Polnareff, who had taken it as a challenge, you had reached the point where flustered became irritated, especially because their compliments were either really superficial or just plain, it was still a bit amusing though.

“Hey  chaton am I dead or why am I seeing Angels?”  Hol Horse huffed and Polnareff’s words “See fella! She doesn’t even react!” You had heard better from unwanted flirting back at home and while it was good at the beginning, this had to stop. “Look at how it is done.” Hol Horse took your hands for the eleventh time. “Hey sweetie, I wouldn't mind throwin a lasso around your boots and  pullin you this a way.”

Jesus Christ.

“Who?” Hol Horse looked at you, confused at your question. “Well yo-“

“Who asked you?” 

Behind the wheel Joseph started cackling, Avdol and Kakyoin containing their laughs while Jotaro besides you snorted. “Ha! I guess that  my compliments won.”

“As the worst.” From the front Kakyoin spoke and ignored Polnareff’s shriek. “No no , don’t tell him that Kakyoin, believe me I have heard worse.”

“After an hour I find it hard to believe Missy.” 

“Believe me as much as I hate it walking through the streets with a skirt shows you that men can be nasty  and quite… creative.” You had heard worse, much worse and it was horrible. Suddenly Joseph snapped his fingers. “What about a competition on worst pick up lines? We still have some hours to Delhi.”

“Please don’t.”

After a small murmur and ignoring you, everyone but Avdol agreed. ( Kakyoin reluctantly accepted.)  

“Does your mom make pastries or why are you so sweet?”

“Do you believe at love at first sight or do I have to pass in front of you again?”

“Are you tired? You have been going around in my head.”

“I have been looking for a goddess for my new religion, and I just chose you.” (“Nice one Kakyoin!”)

“Are you an Octopus? Because you octopi my head.” 

Silence.

“Good one Jotaro!” Joseph sooke. “Guys I guess we have a winner. Look at Missy she is red to her ears!”  Joseph wasn’t making it easy for you. Had he seriously made a sea inspired pick up line?

After some moments you eventually sighed  with a smile. 

As you got to Delhi, Enya was still unconscious and so Joseph booked a hotel for everyone, he had called the speedwagon foundation and they were apparently picking up Hol Horse tomorrow at first hour so you could do nothing but wait.

The ambience had gotten light but still, someone needed to look over Enya and the cowboy so the old lady would stay on Joseph/Avdol’s room (they had somehow introduced her while making her seem like a bag)  Polnareff and Hol Horse were together and you ended up with Jotaro and Kakyoin, again.

The hotel was luxurious enough and honestly the bath was kind of refreshing. You had dinner on some restaurant nearby and Joseph gave you each some money to spend on '’needs’ Because everyone was tired of being stared at.

So that is how you found yourself on some night market at the middle of the city with Jotaro and Kakyoin behind you. Hol Horse and Polnareff had returned to the hotel to avoid the former's escape. (More like the hotel’s bar but meh.)

The good thing about markets was that while the design wasn’t the same you found clothes similar to your uniform, at least similar enough. You also bought a shirt and a short, a swimsuit and some things for the sun. 

Besides you Jotaro and Kakyoin remained on their own thing but checked on you from time to time as if they feared that you would get lost. You made a last trip to the pharmacy and bought some pads, bandages and antiseptic just in case.

Better safe than sorry.

The trip back was quick and Kakyoin spilled facts from time to time, covering most of the conversation so you only hummed to show your agreement. Suddenly Jotaro stopped walking. “Uh JoJo? Everything alright?” 

“Let’s buy beer.” Kakyoin froze. “Are you sure? Isn’t it too late?” He had that sweet tone but you could tell he was internally screaming. Jotaro looked at his freakishly  expensive clock. “It’s 10 pm.” 

“But aren’t we supposed to leave early tomorrow and-“ He was scared and you knew how to deal with it. “Oh I see Kakyoin you are afraid. Don’t worry it is completely natural and we.” You signaled Jotaro and you. “Respect your wishes so next time you get afraid of drinking tell us our loud.” Your voice was sweet but your tone wasn’t. “Then-“

“Ah it isn’t that Missy, I am not afraid it was a mere sense of responsibility.” Appealing to moral uh? “Sure it is.” He face tensed and his smile looked past polite. “But then, who am I to ruin your fun? Please JoJo go ahead and buy me some too.” You turned to Jotaro only to find him gone.

Uh? 

“Seems like Jotaro left during our… discussion.” Some minutes later Jotaro exited the store with some bags full of alcoholic beverages.

“Now Missy.” Was it you or Jotaro’s tone sounded way more unapathetic than the usual? “What did you say about being afraid?”

Well shit

-

“- are wrong! There is no way mangos may  even aspire to reach the magnificent place were cherries are located, there is not even a point of comparison between them and that lowly fruit of yours so please retire what you said Missy, or we will have some problems.”

At Kakyoin’s slurred command Hierophant Green appeared, his form slightly unraveled. “Haha, as if you could even harm me dickhead.” Kakyoin’s blushing face turned malevolent. “Who said hurting?” With sloppy movements Hierophant’s shiny tentacles started tickling you.

“Jotaro help me out!” From his place at the ground he turned to you, face as stony as ever but with a small blush. “Oh so we are taking out stands now?” Star made his apparition in all his purple glory and, after looking at both Hierophant and you, let out a mighty Ora before starting to manhandle him. “Yeah, go  get it Star!”

You shouldn’t have said that because as soon as he heard your voice he dropped the green shiny noodles and proceeded to hug the fuck out of you. “Ora!”

“Hey no fair! Jotaro don’t do that!” Said Jotaro  was eyeing you but his gaze was unfocused.

“Did you know that Dolphins help the injured members?”

 You looked at Kakyoin who laid sprawled on the floor mid Star’s gropping, his Hierophant a puddle of shiny tentacles around him and his mouth was slightly opened in what you supposed was some sort of song “Uh?”

Suddenly Star’s face glowed and Jotaro’s eyes opened wide as if he had suddenly reached illumination.“You are a Dolphin aren't you?"

Jotaro saw as you giggled slightly and he pouted, his stands hands all over your face. “Am not.”You took a long gulp out of an unknown bottle and Jotaro took his own chug before continuing, his Stand disappearing with a wave.

“Good grief woman hear me out…” 

-

You opened your eyes with a nasty headache, the light was particularly bright for being morning. As you looked at your surrounding you found yourself in some sort of amusement park.

Oh shit.

“Ah? Where are we even supposed to be fella?” You turned your head rather harshly to look at the voice, it was the cowboy. Besides him Polnareff looked dreamy as he spilled his dream about Polnarefflandia. It would have been cute if you didn’t fear for your life and if he wasn’t so loud.

“Shut up Polnareff.” To your right Jotaro spoke with a hand rubbing his temple.“Where are we?”

“Mr Joestar!” Avdol and Joseph appeared too, the former looking quite worried. “We have to asses the situation, what if we are on that dream land?” Joseph scoffed, not noticing your presence. “Avdol, my friend I really doubt it, you are just a dream of mine.”

“Guys did anyone bring out their stand before getting to sleep?” At least they had the decency to look ashamed, everyone but Hol Horse. “Sweetheart don’t mean to be rude but what the hell is happening?”

“Lali-ho!” 

Holy fucking shit. Maybe drinking wasn’t such a good idea.

Out of nowhere Death 13 appeared and everyone took a fighting pose. “Hahaha, looks like you finally made a mistake! Now it is time to die!”  Jotaro took out his stand, the only thing was that it wasn’t his stand so it wasn’t bound to follow his commands. “Star Platinum!” The stand, as expected didn’t obey and instead hurt Jotaro(even if the thing with the faces was kind of funny), the others falling prey to the stand's tricks, you ended melting to the ground and being honest you were starting to panick.

Shitshitshitshit.

“Even when you knew the dangers you didn’t obey so now you are going to die for your own stupidity! Now what if you give me a smile! One that simbolizes who happy and refreshed will I be for my victory!”

“Wait no! I also work for Dio don’t harm me!” Hol Horse screamed and you glared at him, it was expected but, seriously? “Are you?” Death 13 just smiled. “Well I don’t care!” The cowboy's face fell and as Death 13 was about to lower the scythe  you spotted Hierophant Green.

“Lali-ho” Hierophant appeared besides him.

“Oh it is just the fake I made.”

The stand quickly started choking the other. “Did you forget I had Hierophant out before going to sleep?”

He had?  The last thing you remembered was him lying down mumbling to himself and ah… the shiny green poodle.

Uh, convenient.

You eyed the group and smiled as the effects wore off. “Now it is time for your punishment, baby.” 

The group cheered but suddenly the ambience changed, the clouds coming together to form the big fist and you just smiled. “Kakyoin get out of there!” As Death 13 lowered the Scythe and “sliced Kakyoin” you saw everyone flinch, Avdol  took solace in your own gaze and at your lack of reaction he lightly frowned. 

“Just kidding!” Gosh he was so dramatic.

“You are alright!?”

Kakyoin made a quick job of defeating the user and manipulating him. “Also heal whatever injury they have on their bodies.” Death 13 was about to complain but a move shut him up and he did as he said.

“Now get everyone but Missy and me out.” Suddenly, the rest of the crusaders and Hol Horse disappear, the later with a still confused expression and you turned to the baby.

“Before everyone wakes up I would like to remind you that we know how you look like and can likely find you so please be a sweetheart and avoid us more problems.”

Now that the adrenaline had passed, you were sure that Jotaro, Kakyoin and you were re-experiencing the effects of a hangover so without more delay Hierophant closed up the distance between the scythe and Death 13. 

“I will ask you a question and I expect a honest answer okay?” The stand nodded.

“How did you even end up with Dio?”

Chapter Text

Somehow you managed to convince (read Kakyoin threatened) the baby to leave you the fuck alone and all things considered it seemed as if he was scared enough. You  wanted to think that your “what about your family” talk helped but you didn’t really believe so and it only functioned to make you nostalgic.

You were really enjoying your time here but what about when it ended?

“Time to leave.” Ah yes the trip. 

The morning after the baby thing no one really remembered what happened, no one but Kakyoin and you that is, the group had some light breakfast and after the SPW came to look for Hol Horse at dawn, Joseph placed the  luggage( unconscious Enya) im  the car and everyone was ready to go.

Sun rays were just starting to manifest through the horizon, it was still early after all.  Before anyone could hop onto the vehicle you stopped them. “Polnareff?” Someone needed to look after the car while you told the others about Steely Dan. “Oui? Ma petite chaton?”

Hdbskbska.

You took a breathe to calm the fuck down.

“Can you go to the ehem, vehicle with Enya? Please don’t ask I will tell you later on.” You really liked Polnareff but he was kind of unpredictable. He gave you a small nod and  ran to the exit.

 “What is the matter Missy?” 

“In Karachi we will encounter another stand user.”

“Karachi?  It is about 2 days away. Are you sure it is there?” You hadn’t  realized how far where the distances when travelling but it made sense considering they somehow crossed the entire continent. To be honest you didn’t really remember the name of the place so you  had bought y a map yesterday and located the city but that wasn’t worth mentioning.

Details, details.

You nodded. “I am not really sure when will Enya recover consciousness but I don’t want to risk it Mr Joestar.” Joseph scratched his chin as if thinking.“I see, and you held us back because Enyaba could use it to her favor.” Kakyoin answered with a hand on his face. “Well then just tell us how to defeat it Missy!” 

Avdol interrupted before you could speak. “I don’t have a good feeling about this stand.” You let out a sigh and prepared to explain The Lovers. “The next stand that we are bound to encounter is named “The Lovers” and it can enter the brain. It is…” You tried to explain as best as you could all things considered and after a small session of questions and answers with a detailed story of the events probably (everything could change after all) bound to happen the group nodded. 

“The Lovers card represents a vincule between people so it make sense that the stand causes a connection to happen, even if it is one of pain.” Avdol was looking directly at you as if reassuring something and you proceeded. “Please pay attention to your surroundings, especially around Enya. Activate your stands and be attentive, while you can ultimately defeat him I am sure that whoever falls victim to it won’t be pleased to experience its effects.”

“I will have Hierophant make a small red surrounding us so that he can detect anything if that is okay with you Missy.” You nodded at Kakyoin suggestion. “And on case we don’t encounter that stand?” Good question, there was always the possibility of changes through the order of them and even if you were sure what Dios knew, you were almost sure that he didn’t think much about your “hability” other than some sort of stand prediction/power thingy.

“Well the the other stands aren’t likely to face us on a city but be prepared, anyways. If I see any sign I will tell you.”  You were almost sure that the Sun stand and the one that could grant you 3 wishes weren’t bound to appear till you were alone on some location so Steely Dan it is.

Avdol hummed and Joseph nodded with a grin. “Then off we go!”

-

“Are we there yet?” Polnareff asked yet another question and while usually it wasn’t bad or anything you were on a car on the middle of the desert with no functioning air conditioner. Thank God you had bought deodorant because the stench of sweat was enough.

Shitty enough.

At least your clothes had some ventilation and looking at the other 2 students you couldn’t help but wonder how did they manage. Kakyoin fanned himself from time to time but what about Jotaro? You turned to look discreetly at him when a voice startled you, making Jotaro raise an eyebrow at you.

“No Polnareff, we aren’t.” You turned to look at said man and spotted Kakyoin  lifting his fingers as if counting, his mouth slightly moving and his eyebrows scrunched. Not even 10 minutes had passed when Polnareff spoke again. “How much till we get there?”As Joseph was about to retort something Kakyoin sighed and turned to look at Polnareff. “Congratulations Polnareff, 7 Minutes 54 seconds a whole new record on keeping your mouth shut.” 

“Hey don’t be rude! It is a valid question, right Avdol?” Said Avdol was sitting at the front with Joseph and seemed to be meditating (more like sleeping). “It would be if you didn’t ask the same question every 5 minutes.” 

“Well you don’t even bother to answer me where this Katashi place is!”

“Its name is Karachi and it is a Pakistan city Polnareff,  it will take us 2 days to get there.” From your place over Jotaro’s legs(It seemed that it had been assigned as your permanent seat) you sighed, on the morning, after 'placing' Enya on the back the group discovered that the radio and the air conditioning had stopped working and so that left you on the current situation.

Hot and bored.

“… Missy agrees with me, right Belle?” 

“ Sorry I didn’t get to hear you Polnareff, can you repeat your question?” Said man’s grin didn’t even falter. “I was telling our dear Kakyoin that they, Japanese students are way too up-tight, don’t you think?” He seemed satisfied with your hesitant nod. “I mean who even wears that kind of uniforms in this heat? not that it looks bad on you-” Now that you looked at him, Polnareff’s front teeth were bigger than his others and it seemed as if the sun made some light freckles surge on his nose.

Uh, just like when he was a kid.

Cute.

“-am sure they hadn’t even had a relationship before being as stiff as they are, you may understand that because which woman would want a man like that? I mean I am sure they can’t even treat woman as the beautiful flowers they are.” God he even looked smug at the end of his words and you smiled out of pure compromise, Kakyoin had some sort of polite smile while Jotaro apparently lowered the brim of his hat.

“Polnareff. Does the woman look delicate to you?” By his tone Jotaro was probably refering to you. “Well not specifically but-“ 

“Then shut up.” Kakyoin slightly snickered as the conversation died down. Polnareff looking out of the window with a sad look that made you almost reach out to pat his arm.

Almost.

Silence re-reigned the car for some time until Joseph’s cry broke out.  “Aha! I finally got this baby to work!” Joseph had somehow repaired the radio and now music sounded again. 

Around midday, the group stopped on a small town to eat and continued their journey till the light started to extinguish and then some more, this time with Polnareff behind the wheel.

That night you slept on the dessert again, and thanks to the new Sleeping bag, there were no hugging incidents, at least not that you knew of. The next morning the day transcurred similarly with some coffee on the morning and taking turns on driving with Kakyoin being the first one.

Sometimes it surprised you how mundane certain activities felt and it made your heart feel strange because while you were quite adaptated(even if you still had some small moments) you couldn’t help the feeling of worry that cursed through you.

Were you even coming back?

What if… what if this was just a dream? That was the least of the options and all things considered it didn’t seem like it because you had even dreamt inside the dream. The other option was that you were unconscious but then, how did you even end up here? The third one was your favourite even if it was highly unlikely and it enveloped the multiverse theory and while you weren’t an all-knowing woman, it was…nice. 

The last option was death.

You snapped out of your thoughts when a weird noise sounded through the car, Avdol made  a worried face but at Joseph’s instruction the car continued till a town or at least it tried to because as soon as you touched the outskirts the car slowed down till it refused to move and some sort of gas started coming out of the front.

Ah.

“Mr. Joestar?”

“Uh, why did you stop the car Kakyoin? Is it some…” Polnareff lowered his voice to a loud whisper and turned to both sides. “…enemy stand?” Avdol smiled slightly and Joseph pouted. “I am sure this altercation isn’t caused by some stand Polnareff.”

The group descended the car and you decided to stay besides Polnareff. Some of the locals getting out of their houses to look at the group. The good thing was that cellphones weren’t a thing yet. “I knew those people were up to something when they sold the car!” Joseph’s boisterous voice and his kicks to the vehicle attracted more attention than what was usually wanted.  “Well it seems that we will pass the night here.”

“I will go to speak with the locals Mr Joestar.”

Avdol and Joseph left to look for an inn because looking for a car in such a small town was kind of impossible. Even at the outskirts you couldn’t see any other vehicle, just carriages and horses. 

An arm located itself on your shoulders. “Oaah, well Missy it seems that we will have to share a room again uh?” Polnareff had apparently faked a yawn and placed his arm as discretely as he could around you, he wiggled his almost nonexistent eyebrows at you.

How would he even look with eyebrows?

Would he let you paint him eyebrows?

Mmmm, maybe you could make a bet with him and win?

Heh, nice.

“Oh yes Polnareff I am so excited!” You snickered at Jotaro’s and Kakyoin’s look. “Come on guys it was obviously a joke don’t look at me like that, my age makes it illegal.” Kakyoin grinned. “Oh I had forgotten about that, still if he tries anything tell me so that we can call the police.”

“Ah?!”

“In this areas, justice by your own hand is more common, so why even bother it?”Polnareff exhaled softly and gave Jotaro a thumbs up. “Thank you Jotaro.” Jotaro raised his hat slightly. “The best action is to just knock him unconscious ourselves.” 

Before anyone could say another thing Jospeh approached you, Avdol seemed to still be talking with the locals. “Hey! We found a place to stay the night, a family owns a small inn where we can stay.” A collective sigh was heard. “It is about 100 meters frontwards the thing is uh…”

“Spit it out jiji.”

“You will have to move the car to you know carry our luggage. Some men offered their help in exchange for money but I know that big guys like us will easily handle it, right JoJo?” As if on demonstration he flexed his arm and some yellow sparkles surged through it.

Hamon.

Niceee.

They quickly positioned themselves behind the car (Polnareff showing of his muscles as much as he could in front of the crowd) and shadows could be seen surrounding their bodies, their stands. They hadn’t even advanced 5 meters when the car’s wheels changed direction. “Ah Missy?”

“Yes Mr Joestar?” 

“Can you be a sweetheart and hop on the pilot’s seat? Ensure that the car stays straight.” The car was already in neutral and honestly being inside of the vehicle was better than pushing it, considering  that you wouldn’t even help that much. About 10 minutes passed and the car was already at the inn's entrance. 

Polnareff would have looked fresh as he grinned towards the local girls if it wasn’t for the small blush (courtesy of the sun) on his cheeks, Kakyoin looked slightly strained as he fanned himself with a hand and Jotaro, well he looked the same. 

Star Platinum was indeed something else.

After the necessary precautions while registering, you went to your room, said places were small and the place had a commonal bathroom so while you usually preferred to sleep with someone else, the room disposition made in impossible and so considering there were no enemy stands, everyone ended up having their own room. 

The afternoon was calm as Joseph negotiated the car for some sort of carriage and the homey food from the place only added to it. All in all, the afternoon was one of the calmest you has had since joining the crusaders, you even had time to see Kakyoin paint and sketch some things.

“Sleep early, tomorrow we will depart before dawn.” 

“Such a shame Mr Joestar and here I was expecting to share the night with the madmoiselle.”

“I am not joking Polnareff, tomorrow Avdol and I will wake you up by any necessary mean so either be prepared or face the consequences.”  Everyone nodded and continued with the dinner, you had a quick bath  and after exchanging good nights with the guys you went to sleep as soon as you touched the mattress.
-

“We are travelling in… this carriage?” 

“At least we will have more space.”

“The village people were kind enough to sell us this carriage in exchange for the car, the horses are in excellent conditions and we will reach Karachi past midday.” Avdol’s voice was heard clearly since the day hadn’t even began. “Mr Joestar is the..uh” His face turned to the side. “The luggage ready?”

“Ah yes Enya! She is already on the carriage.” Joseph answered swiftly as if his voice wasn’t loud enough to wake up every dman person on the neighborhood and Avdol’s eyebrow twitched. “Thank you Mr Joestar.”

Avdol’s level of patience was impressive.

-

“.. is just not fair I mean first Jotaro, then Kakyoin and now Jotaro again!” Polnareff’s voice woke you up, the sun straining your eyes. “Can anyone pass me some sunglasses?”

“Here take this.” From the voice it was probably Kakyoin so you opened your eyes slowly and you realized 2 things: the first was that you were practically drooling over Jotaro, again and that was why Polnareff was complaining, Jotaro’s eyes piercing yours and an eyebrow raised. 

“Ah sorry Jotaro, I must have fallen sleep hahahaha.” 

Smooth +100.

The second was that, after rearranging yourself, Kakyoin was offering you THE glasses. You had thought that he had gotten them thanks to the injury but turns out that he had always had them. You grabbed them and while they would stand out a bit you couldn’t really complain because bro.

Kakyoin’s epic sunglasses.

“Thank you.” 

“You are welcome.”

His gamer sunglasses.

God.

“Hey don’t think that I have forgotten about the shoulder thing Missy! Why are you like this? Yesterday I had just made an space for you on the room but as soon as I looked you had already fallen asleep, is this…” His face turned solemn. “Is this my curse for being so handsome?” You couldn’t help but snicker at his face.

“Are you implying that I am lucky with my beautiful Suzie Q because I don’t have good looks?” Joseph huffed. “What can be seen isn’t asked Mr Joestar.”

“Uh that you look bad!”

“Did you hear that Jotaro? Polnareff says that your family is ugly.”

“What?! I never said that!”

“But you implied it, don’t you think?”

“I agree with him, Mr Joestar, Jotaro I don’t mean to intrude but I clearly heard that Polnareff wants to be punched.”

“Erm Jotaro, why is your Star Platinum hovering besides you? WAIT not in my beautiful fac-“

“ORA!”

“If you are done children…” Avdol’s voice barely stopped Star Platinum’s fist from hitting Polnareff, the last almost fainting in relief. “We are almost in Karachi, be alert.”

“How much till we get there Avdol?”

“I would say that about 15 minutes.” Avdol gazed worriedly at the old woman behind you, subtly Kakyoin summoned Hierophant Green and his stands started to transform itself in small fibers, unnoticeable to the human eyes if it wasn’t for the facts that you knew of their existence and certain sun rays.

Wow.

As you neared Karachi, you spotted the Kebab(Was that it?) Place where Steely Dan was and a man outside selling, the carriage pointedly avoided the place and you went to register to the hotel were Enya was bound to be received by the Speedwagon Foundation. The less deaths, the better and taking in count Enya's destiny you were doing her a favor, you didn’t know if it would work but trying was better than nothing.

The confrontation was inevitable but better safe than sorry.

You didn’t even need to look besides you to see feel the heavy gaze settled on your back. Enya was awake, her eyes wide open and as still as a human being could manage. On the hotel, the Speedwagon foundation's truck was already there waiting for you. 

“Go and register in the hotel while we speak with them.” Joseph gave you an encouraging grin. “Are you sure that you won’t need anything old man?” 

“No no no, Avdol and I can manage it.” The rest of the crusaders entered the hotel and left Joseph and Avdol outside. 

“Don’t worry Madmoiselle, Kakyoin’s red can detect if anything goes wrong!” Polnareff’s cheery voice sounded but you couldn’t help but think that everything was too easy. “Yes Missy, my Hierophant hasn’t felt anything strange on us since the beginning.”

After some moments Joseph and Avdol re-entered the hotel, the former looking quite relieved. “Enya has been taken care of, in case anything happens they will tell us.” He smiled. “ Now, who is hungry?”

After everyone left their bags in their rooms and with Kakyoin’s imperceptible red still around them, the crusaders went to eat to a small restaurant far away from the Kebab place, far away from Steely Dan. The food was placidly eaten and you exited the restaurant, heading towards the hotel. 

Or at least you were till someone bumped into you.

“Oh sorry! Are you okay?” He looked like a typical young man with glasses but you couldn’t help but feel nervous. “Yes I am fine, next time just watch your steps better okay?” Not wanting to remain with him another moment you quickly rejoined the group.“Everything fine?” You nodded at Kakyoin’s question and Jotaro got slightly closer to you 

“Hey girl! Is this thing yours?!” You turned behind and spotted Kakyoin’s sunglasses on the stranger’s hand.

Goddamnit.

What a coincidence uh?

You turned around a touched Kakyoin’s arm, mouthing a 'Be careful'. You went to take  sunglasses and thanked the man. The stranger smiled and lowered his own sunglasses, showing you his eyes and particular eyebrows. “You are welcome pretty girl.”

Steely Dan.

You had to force your face to remain relaxed and smiled slightly. Kakyoin had had his red out since before entering the city so there should be nothing to worry about. Right?

“Now if you excuse me Mister I have to go with my friends.” You were about to leave when his hand grasped your wrists.

Well, shit.

“Excuse me sir but I will have to ask you to let me go.” Steely Dan’s face hardened and an arrogant grin appeared on his face. “Don’t think so Missy.” Suddenly a man clasped Steely Dan’s wrist, Jotaro. “The woman said let go jerk.” 

Half of your brain was panicking while the other half was screaming.

Focus.

“And what will you do about it big guy?” His arrogance didn’t give you a good feeling. “Wait Jotaro no!” Said man didn’t hear and squeezed the enemy’s wrist harder till a pained scream broke through the place. 

Shit.

“Mr Joestar!”

“My stand the lovers makes everyone feel the pain I feel tenfold!” His eyes searched yours. “But you already know that, don’t you bitch?” Joseph was holding his wrist. “My hand! It feels as if it is going to break!”  

“Seems like Dio was wrong about you after all.”  His gaze was posed directly on you. “You are no threat to anyone! How will knowing our abilites can help you if you don’t know how to deal with them?” You gave him a glare and forced yourself to keep quiet, knowing you, speaking would only make it worse. Unexpectedly Steely Dan kicked his leg against a box. “Answer me!”

Joseph’s pained screams were awful and you couldn’t help but since in empathy. After they died down he took of running, Avdol, Polnareff  and Kakyoin behind him. “Ah ah, don’t you dare to leave me Jotaro, bitch at least if you want Joestar to be okay.” 

“Seriously you are just an useless bitch.” You were never that prone to violence but if something you had always been one to defend yourself and not back down. “Ah I know! Say it yourself!”

What?

“Say it or…” You took a deep breath and ignored Jotaro’s heavy glare. “I am an useless bitch.” The maniac just laughed. “I have an idea! Girl you will be my voice and order Jotaro whatever I tell you, got it? But don’t cry over it, I will also have you help my magnificent person.” His eyes turned with malicious intent and his arm snaked through your whole back, making you shudder. “And you better do everything she says Jotaro or else Mr Joestar …”

Where had you gotten yourself into?

Your face was aflame with rage but you tried to keep it cool for Joseph’s sake. “Then again your presence willed me to leave that old delusional hag alone, I had it stay on your left ear all the time since you encountered her at Lord Dio’s order and even if I could have ended you right then, there isn’t anything more satisfying than defeating and humiliating someone don’t you think girl?”

You made a face and nodded. “Oh no no I don’t like that look! My feet are failing me…” His legs wobbled intentionally. “Only your smile and maybe some back massage would help me.” 

Before anyone could answer Joseph took off running, Polnareff, Avdol and Kakyoin behind him. Steely Dan tched. “I don’t know why do they even run, I mean the should have know by now that my stand has a large range, but we’ll it doesn’t matter, Joseph’s brain will be mush in about 10 minutes.” He rubbed his neck. “Ah what was I saying about a back massage?” He snapped his fingers and signaled you to begin, your fingers lightly gracing his back. “Mmh your hands hold no force at all, lame but it will suffice. Ah it seems that my shoes are dirty, sweetie will you tell Jotaro to clean them?”

“Jotaro…” God were you seriously doing this? “Please clean his shoes.” Steely Dan smiled. “Oh but he doesn’t have a towel and all the dirt in my shoes may make me fall. Girl get the brute something to clean with.” Suddenly his smile turned lecherous. “What about that skirt of yours? Don’t worry just some moments and you can rewear it.” 

Motherfucking shitty Steely Dan.

Your cheeks were burning in ire and you quickly got of your skirt, thanking whatever God existed for the shorts you decided to wear under the skirt. You gave Jotaro the skirt and blatantly noted that he was avoiding your gaze. 

Jotaro cleaned Steely Dan’s shoes and quickly gave you the skirt, which you quickly put on. After he stood up you eyed Jotaro and saw him pull out a notebook, writing something.

Ah.

“Hey bitch come here, it would be a shame if I tripped.” You went to Steely Dan’s side and he half hugged you, walking side by side. He occasionally lowered handhand to grab you and you just gritted your teeth.

It was gross.

His comments, his actions, his touches.

He was gross.

He made Jotaro do the bridge thing at your commands and also had him steal the jewelry and made you tell the people that he did it. How did someone even get to the point of enjoying the other’s suffering? The stands were a manifestation of the soul and he was some sick bastard for wanting other to feel his pain and damage. Jotaro would need to have his injuries treated after this whole ordeal.

As of sudden Steely Dan's face started leaking blood and you grinned.
Being honest if Steely Dan had used his stand since the beginning to get rid of Joseph it would have caused great damage or even killed him but the lad decided to get all confident, that was it.

Well whatever.

“Well, well well that injury means that Kakyoin is in the attack right now” Yesssss. “I wonder if I will still have my chance at payback once he is done.” Steely Dan started to retreat slightly and you couldn’t help your laugh. “Fuck you sucker.”

“What is happening? Aren’t you going to tell me how my grandfather is doing?” Watching Star Platinum appear was actually pretty amazing. “Woman, care to do the honours?” You were usually against violence but this man was nasty. “Thank you Jotaro.” 

“Haha sweetheart it was all a jo-“ Honestly kicking someone wasn’t supposed to feel that good but who cared. “All yours Jotaro, just don’t kill him.” Both Star Platinum’s and Jotaro’s grin were just awesome and this time around Jotaro made a quick job of leaving him unconscious. 

When the rest appeared, you noticed that Kakyoin was carrying a jar with him, probably the stand. Polnareff and Kakyoin were practically wobbling on their feet, probably exhausted. “You guys alright?”

The French gave you a thumbs up and Kakyoin his weird strained freakishly pretty smile. You spotted Avdol walking behind them with Joseph. “Nothing we can’t manage Missy.” For his age, Joseph Joestar was still sturdy and a quite handsome fellow, no wonder he lured Tomoko.

Oh shit.

Josuke.

If you remained enough time you would have to at least tell him. 

The way to the hotel was the usual, local people glancing and some even whispering about the group but at the point there were more important things to do. Abdul was carrying Steely Dan’s unconscious body on his shoulder, ready to give him to the Speedwagon Foundation who was already waiting at the hotel’s doorstep. 

You took a quick shower and changed your clothes going to Jotaro’s and Kakyoin’s room.

“Who is first?” Polnareff approached you almost immediately, a grin on his face as you sat your bed. He had some bruises and his mouth was slightly bleeding so some ointment should suffice.

“Awww Madmoiselle can’t you see I am all tired, can’t you do this gentleman a favor a put it on for me?” His imitation of puppy eyes was awful but you just huffed and did as he said.

“Thank you! Now if you excuse me, the girls at the bar are lonely and I have to go with them chaton.” After small kiss in your hand he departed the room. “Uh he didn’t even choose a candy.”

“So much for being a gentleman.” Kakyoin spoke as he approached you, and after you ensured that he was okay you gave him a cherry lollipop you had bought in case and smiled as his eyes glowed.

Cute.

Last but not least Jotaro approached, he was the one with more damage after all. Kakyoin left to take a bath and left you alone. He had bruises all over his body and some blood on his head so you had to remove his hat in order to patch him up.

It was…nice.

You were humming slightly as you treated him, he had taken a bath before you could do something about his injuries so your work was easier. Still his pain tolerance was amazing. The only pain you had felt was that of your cramps and ven so it was low. “You okay?”

“Uhm?” You stopped your humming. “Oh yes I am fine, can’t receive injuries like you bro.”  His eyebrows scrunched. “No but like… whatever woman just finish quickly.” 

Ah.

“Thank you Jotaro I am fine.” Honestly the whole experience was scary but not for you, for Joseph and the rest. This was the first fight that they resulted that injured even if wasn’t that much. You would have to be more attentive after this.

You gave him a small smile and he looked to the side, scowling. Joseph had said that you would also stay the next night in the hotel so there wasn’t much to worry about. Polnareff was out and you didn’t really want to return to your room alone. “Jotaro?” He acknowledged you with a raised eyebrow.

“Mind if I stay here a bit? The so called gentleman is out.” He nodded and as you were about to stand up to lie on the floor his voice startled you. “What are you doing woman.”

“Well I am about to lie on the floor…?” He scowled “ Don’t be stupid bitch.” 

“Nice way of phrasing there is enough room.”

You tried to sound tough but a blush was starting to creep to your cheeks. He tched. “Do you like sumo?” You had honestly never watched a whole fight of sumo but shrugged, anything was fine even if you missed the good ol’ technology back home more than not. “Won’t know till I see it.”

How did he even manage to find a sumo encounter in the Pakistani TV was a mistery but meh.

The whole experience was surreal, and as your eyelids dropped you couldn’t help but wonder about it.

Chapter Text

Why did the sun appear so damn early?
You snuggled further into the pillow to avoid it, Joseph said that you were leaving tomorrow so the day was to restore provisions and relax. Apparently you would be travelling almost non-stop til some coast city which name you didn’t now and Joseph needed to find a good car, ergo you had more time to sleep.

Niceee.

The bed was super comfy and so you returned to your sleep. The second time you woke up you opened your eyes groggily and spotted a body laying down on the other bed, white hair exposed, Polnareff. The clock between your beds read 9:47 and while it wasn’t particularly late, breakfast was probably bound to close at 11 and you would be damned if you didn’t make use of your free breakfast pass so you woke up, not bothering to change clothes and made your way to Polnareff’s bed.

“Hey.” You poked him once but to no avail.

“Hey, hey Polnareff, wake up.” A loud snore interrupted your poking.

Well, you tried.

You exited the room leaving a note for the French, descending the stairs to go to the breakfast area. There you spotted a red hair and the well-known hat, Kakyoin and Jotaro. Not really expecting them to see you, you picked some good ol’ eggs and bacon and made yourself a waffle. It had been some time since you had an American breakfast but it wasn’t unwelcome. On your way to the oblivious boys' table you picked an apple and some juice.

You made a peace sign as you sat. “Good morning guys.“

“Good afternoon to you too Missy.” How did they even manage to look that cool in the morning? “Have you been here for long?”

Kakyoin denied, Jotaro kept mostly ignoring you, focused on his food. “We got here about 5 minutes ago because someone decided that wasting the night away and sleeping a few hours was fine.”

“Sleeping is for the weak.” Jotaro retorted rolling his eyes as you scoffed.

“Sleeping is for the people who appreciate their lives more or less, thank you.” Kakyoin snickered lightly. “Did you enjoy your sleep Missy?”

“Well yes, I actually slept for most of the night, just the usual.” Kakyoin smirked. “Well that is pretty curios because-“ Jotaro threw  a cherry(where did he even get them?) to Kakyoin and the red haired catched it. “Eat the damn cherries or the girl will.”

By the girl he probably meant you.

“That is not true, I mean fruit is first and I am already on the bacon.” 

“Good grief.” Kakyoin introduced the cherry in his mouth and you felt the same mixture between awe and goosebumps, refraining from commenting you sighed. “Where are Avdol and Mr Joestar?” 

“Oh they are dealing with the vehicle thing and Avdol already had breakfast.” You hummed. 

“Hey! Ma camaraderie!” Polnareff’s screams approached, he had already changed his clothes and his hair was done. In that moment all the people in the place looked at you and you sighed, Kakyoin almost facepalmed and Jotaro batlantly ignored them. Polnareff sat down and explained you that he wanted to stay some time sleeping but your lovely note convinced him otherwise.

Lovely note your ass.

But still, he was sweet. Weird but sweet.

No wonder you used to simp for him.

“- I mean it is almost Christmas isn’t it? Just some days maybe Mr Joestar will want to do something or we will have a chance to celebrate as it should be, when I was younger-“

Christmas?

Holy shit.

“Kakyoin, what day is it?”

“December 20th. Why do you ask?” You had totally forgotten that the trip started in November and now Christmas was just behind the door. “Nothing, nothing.”

The rest of the day was placidly spent, you went to the town (again) with the guys only to have Polnareff abandon you to look for some 'ladies'. With Joseph’s money you had food on a real Kebab place, not the one that Steely Dan owned.  

Jotaro was eyeing some old book on the market as Kakyoin explained the cultural importance of something that you didn’t quite get. Did the crusaders even celebrate the parties? Maybe yes, maybe not. With Polnareff’s personality it would have been weird if they didn’t but still the pressure was running high.

Better check.

“Kakyoin?” You were on your way back to the hotel to meet with Joseph and Avdol, Jotaro was walking in front of you. “Yes Missy?” 

“What do you think of Christmas?”

“Well it is worldwide, well known celebration but you already know that, don’t you?” He offered a small smile and even after all those days it still made you go dhkwbakanla.

“Indeed but.. do you celebrate it?” 

“Sometimes yes, sometimes not. Jotaro do you?” Jotaro spared you a glance and some moments passed before he spoke. “The old hag would insist to have a special dinner.” Back home Christmas used to be a gathering of most of your family members in one house and even if you weren’t much of gifts or fancy dinners, it was always celebrated. 
God you were becoming a sap.

“Then, do you plan to do something for this year?” 

“No.”

“Not particularly, no. Why?”

“Just because, I mean I know the trip has been difficult.” If you weren’t wrong The sun stand was the next bound to appear but Joseph had yet to get the camels and honestly those and the sand were the sole indication so it would(probably) take some days. “But what about a Christmas dynamic?” 

“A dynamic?” Kakyoin arched a brow just as you stood outside of their room. “Well yes something like a secret friend.” At their lack of response you elaborated. “For example we write the names of the people involved, each on a different paper. Then each one choses a paper and the name of the person written on it will be the one they have to gift. The best thing is that you don’t have to tell.”

“But what if I have my own name, wouldn’t that ruin the… surprise?”You hummed. “Then you just take another one, there isn’t much trouble and all things considered a limit of money may be established to avoid expensive/cheap gifts.” 

“Good grief but-“

“Who is going to gift who?”

Holy shit.

Joseph’s voice from behind startled you and taken Kakyoin’s light jump you could tell that he also surprised him. Jotaro just stilled momentarily before he returned to what was supposedly normal. Joseph wore a big grin and besides him Avdol gave you an apologetic smile. “Hey, where is Polnareff? And what was that about gifts?”

“Good question, we would also like to know its answer, Mr Joestar here Missy was making a proposition for Christmas.”
Joseph’s face illuminated even more. “Ah Christmas a time of joy! It is a shame  that I will spend it far away from my beloved Suzie Q!”He made a dramatic pose and Jotaro scolded him. “Get it together old man.” 

“See Missy! Not even Christmas can make Jotaro agree with his grandpa even if I would give my life for him and my beautiful Holly! When she was-“ 

“What was the proposition Missy?” Avdol interrupted Joseph’s rambling and you explained them the exchange thingy. Not even 10 minutes passed and Polnareff arrived, his cheek red and his face in a scold. 

“No comments!” Kakyoin was grinning and Joseph looked pretty amused. “Uh? What is that?” He signaled the paper where you had written the names and after a brief explanation everyone chose a paper with a name on it. You opened yours and frowned.

Joseph.

Ah.

What could you possibly gift to a millionaire with all the money to his disposition? Food? A souvenir? An I am sorry you cheated with your wife card?

“Hey Jotaro! Who did you get?! Is it me?”

“Polnareff the whole purpose is that it is a 'secret'. Mr Joestar what will be the money range?”

“I think that around 10 dollars would be just good. Everyone okay with that?”

-

The next day you started your way to Bandar Abbas, the Pakistani city where you would take the boat to cross the sea and reach Dubai. The travel would be about 3 days if everything went as planned with you being the one driving the car early in the morning.

The first night was spent on the desert.

Some chatting was done before sleeping but all in all everything was pretty calm and at your lack of warnings the crusaders seemed pretty relaxed. The remaining stands were the sun, Judgement and High Priestess, not counting the 9 Egyptian Gods.

The second day was passed similarly with Polnareff and Joseph alternating to drive. 

“Jotaro?” Said man just raised an eyebrow as the red haired continued.“I have thought about it and everyone but Avdol and you have drove our vehicle.” 

Kakyoin was right, he hadn’t even volunteered to drive. “Hey, that is true Jotaro! Do you not like to drive or…” Polnareff made an arrogant face. “…is it that you don’t know how to?” 

“Good grief.” Jotaro lowered the brim of his hat before speaking again. “It is none of your business.” Joseph let out a hearty laugh.“Aww my cute grandson doesn’t know his to drive but don’t worry! Grandpa Joseph can teach you all about it!”

“No.”  

“Does cute Jotaro  feel shame in his Grandpa teaching him? Don’t worry sweetie, cool uncle Polnareff can teach you!” Said French man gave you a sly look. “Or would you rather have a pretty girl teaching you? I mean Missy is alwa- WAIT NO NOT IN MY FAC-“

Obviously he went to the face.

“Ehem… What about you Avdol? Do you drive?” Avdol sparred Polnareff and Jotaro a worried look after your question but at Kakyoin’s shrug he visibly relaxed. “Well thank you for the question Missy but, while I do know how to drive, it is not between one of my preferred activities.”

“Yeah! The first times I travelled with Avdol in Egypt he was basically my ride to everywhere.” Behind the wheel Joseph contributed to the conversation. “So his words are true, my grandson in the other hand…” Everyone gave Polnareff, who had chariot out and holding one of Jotaro’s fist, a worried look as the French interrupted Joseph. “… can’t deny it! Kakyoin and I saw that you scooped the fille protectively and carried her to her bed! You didn’t even let us touch her!” 

Jotaro what.

So you had actually fallen asleep on Jotaro’s bed?

Hdjsbaknska.

The fuck.

“The fuck?” Didn’t anyone care to answer you?

“Shut up! You are so noisy!” Jotaro let Polnareff go roughly and returned to his sit, a purple shadow surrounding him as he lowered his hat. “Good grief.” Polnareff, the motherfucker, just grinned smugly as he rearranged his hair.  

Before anyone could say anything Kakyoin raised his voice. “Ah will you look at that Mr Joestar? Time for Polnareff to drive!” He had that big ass strained smile and you couldn’t help but appreciate the silence as they exchanged places. 

The second night was nice, you stayed in an inn on a village you had found, the people were friendly enough with some money, and Joseph payed for the rooms, this time everyone had their own room and at the lack of potential users and the small space you agreed to the idea. If Enya's  habitations were small, this arrangement was even more so. The woman who attended the place served dinner just as you arrived and so you had a hearty meal.

You didn’t know if the woman did cook pretty good or if it was because you had eaten nothing but snacks and bars for some time. The bathroom’s were communal, one for women and one for men. Taking in count that you were the only 'tourists' you had no qualms using it. 

"Good night chaton! I hope you dreaming with the angels, and with angels I mean moi.”

“Good night to you to Polnareff.”Just as you were about to enter your room the other 2 students passed and you exchanged good nights, pretending that everything was okay, nothing awkward.

At.

All.

The night was okay and the next day you felt refreshed to continue.  It would only take half the day to reach Bandar Abbas and cross the sea whose-name-you-didnt-remember-but-Kakyoin-did on a boat. 

Breakfast was also served on the small cozy dinning room in the inn and after some traditional breakfast everyone got ready to depart. Joseph wanted Jotaro to try driving but the latter promptly refused.

The good thing was that Polnareff didn’t comment.

Anyways, Joseph drove till Bandar Abbas and you marveled at the city, it was obviously in the port and the infrastructure it had made it beautiful. It was a developed city compared to most towns you had visited but still small compared to the cities on the future.

That was another thing.

You were technically in the past, on an anime show, or at least you thought so. What was even happening? Still you had some knowledge of the future that could prove useful in different situations. Another thing was that while the world was practically the same in various aspects, the presence of supernatural activity, the Speedwagon Foundation and the stands were a variable that wasn’t present on where you came from. 

When everything ended...would you be able to return to your home? You were honestly having an amazing time and you were practically invulnerable but stil, what about your life?

“Snap out of it.” Jotaro’s piercing eyes were frowning as he looked at you. “Out of what?” No one seemed to be paying attention to you, with Polnareff and Kakyoin snickering and Avdol and Joseph on the front, at the moment it was only Jotaro and you. “Good grief woman, you don’t have to tell us anything but don’t make that annoying face.”

“Uh?”

“Hey Missy!” You had entered the city, Kakyoin seemed to be pointing to something out of the vehicle. “Look!” as you both looked out of the window Polnareff’s laugh sounded loudly on the vehicle. Jotaro had a confused frown that was in all honesty, pretty  cute.

“My finger.” God no, now that you looked at it Kakyoin had some other sunglasses on and he looked pretty smug, so that was epic gamer mode(¿)“Told you she would fall for it Polnareff, now give my 10 dollars.” 

“Do you guys have that much of a death wish?” Besides you Jotaro remained silent but you could see his lips raise slightly. “Awww, why?! Madmoiselle you defrauded me!” Polnareff took out the money from his bags mumbling something about never trusting women again and gave the money to Kakyoin who gladly counted it. 

Well, shit.

“Did you just… bet on if I could predict that?”

“I thought you could see the future! Je ne vais trust any woman again!”

-

Joseph didn’t seem to want to waste any more time so you parked in front of the port and somehow said man quickly exchanged the boat for the car and some money (some money being thousands of dollars) and everyone hooped onto the boat. It was modest enough and apparently it would take you about 10 hours maximum to reach Sarjah. Everything was going alright, Avdol was on the cabin with Joesph, Polnareff was exploring the place and Jotaro/Kakyoin were probably, also exploring.

“No stand users are bound to appear, right Madmoiselle? so, what could possibly go wrong?”

-

Holy mother fucking shit.

He said the sentence.

He voiced it.
You even heard him say that and didn’t do anything knowing that every fucking time someone on the movies said that anything could go wrong.

And still, you didn’t suspect a thing.
The voyage had begun well enough but not even an hour passed when Joseph exited the cabin yelling “There is a stand user on board that fuses with things!” 

High Priestess it is.

The stand obviously took control of the boat and made it malfunction/malfunction, even going as far as trying to choke Joseph with some tubes. The thing was that the boat was sinking and you were in the middle of nowhere.

Again.

“Everyone grab a lifesaver!” The boat situation was reminiscent of the one with the ape only that this time around there was no user to beat. Everyone took a lifesaver a jumped into the sea, with Avdol being the last one to jump onto the water. “Get away from the boat as quickly as you can!” Just as Joseph’s words left his mouth everyone started swimming faster either thanks to their stand or, in Joseph’s case, with Hamon.

Wait a moment.

Oh...Shit.

The only warning you had before submerging into the waters was a small thump in your lifesaver, the enemy stand apparently melting with it, using the rope to drag you as below as it could. You didn’t know how much time did you sank till air started lacking. Turns out that you could still drown. You tried to unravel the stand surrounding you but it was useless and you were frankly starting to panic.

Was this how you ended? On an enemy’s stand attack on JoJo’s bizarre adventure?
Honestly it was kind of lame but as your lungs were depleted of air and they felt as if about to burst you couldn’t help but try to cry out for help, the last remains of air leaving your body completely for some moments until something took a hold on you.

 A mouth collided with yours and you instinctively opened it, letting some air flow into your body. It may have not been much but at the moment it was exactly what you needed.The next instants where a blur as you quickly ascended to the surface, going against the pull that dragged you down.

“ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!”

As you focused your sight you saw Star Platinum rip the lifesaver from your body and pummel it with his fists, High Priestess flying through the air after the quick succession of punches. You were on Jotaro’s arms, his stand looking at you deeply with a salvage grinn before disappearing.

Had he just… had you just… 

Vxksbksjskanslskjekwjakdbsksbks.

Well, guess it is time to die.

Okay calm down that was nothing, only a way to save your life. That didn’t even count as a kiss, right? He had done the same to the nurse so that was nothing.

You tried to convince yourself but the knowledge couldn’t just leave you alone so as discretely as you could you pushed yourself away under his heavy gaze obscured by the hat.

“Err… Thank you Jotaro! You were just in time haha.” You awkwardly patted his back and before Jotaro could say anything a shout resounded. “MISSY!” The crusaders approached you and barreled you both.

“Madmoiselle are you alright?”

“Do you feel alright Missy?”

“Why didn’t you say anything?!”

“What’s the stand identity?”

“Is it defeated?”

“Is my hair still done?”

“Yes! I am fine thanks to Jotaro here! He defeated the user so don’t worry.” As you watched Polnareff’s still done hairstyle(h o w ?)you spotted Avdol watching Jotaro intently and lightly arching his brow. “Everything fine JoJo?” Jotaro just lowered his hat further.

“Good grief everything is okay.”

-

“Are you sure that someone is going to pick us up?”

“For the tenth time, yes.” Joseph was visibly exasperated. “Polnareff, I gave the SPW foundation an emergency call before the boat sank.” You had been in the water for some hours and the sun was almost starting to set, everyone was wet, cold, tired and possibly hungry. Kakyoin was floating among the waves, lightly drifting while Jotaro gawked at the occasional fish beneath you. 

Kakyoin's mumbling were worth worrying but honestly the water was starting to feel way too cold for you to leave Avdol's side.

A loud sound shocked everyone as some lights approached.

God bless Robert O Speedwagon and his foundation, the supreme waifu.

The crew was quick to help you up and provide you some towels. After drying yourself as best as you could, you took a seat as the boat continued its course, the waves lulling you to sleep.

Tomorrow you could ask about your doubts.

Chapter Text

“Mr Joestar, we have arrived.” An unknown man’s voice was the first thing you heard after waking up. “Ah thank you so much, I will be quick to wake the others, again, thank you for your assistance.” You  opened your eyes and found yourself feeling rather cramped, your neck lightly hurting from the awkward position you slept in. 

Sleeping on the floor would have been a better idea.

“What hour is it?”

“About 11:00 pm I would say Missy.” The nights were supposedly long in this specific region on December so, considering the boat had picked you up at about 5 o'clock, it took you about 6 hours to reach Sarjah since then. Kakyoin, who answered you,  was already awake so you joined his side as Joseph woke up Jotaro and Polnareff sporting a rather blank faced Avdol at his side. 

Joseph cooed at Jotaro’s sleeping face, removing his hat slightly. “Awwe, it is not everyday that I get to see my grandson this relaxed.” He even took out a camera from God knows where and took Jotaro a photo, the flash not even bothering Jotaro that much. Joseph lowered his voice and lightly nudged his arm. “Hey JoJo, wake up.” At the lack of response he straightened and grinned mischievously.

“Well, I tried.” He turned to the cherry boy besides you. “Kakyoin, care to help?” 

“It would be a pleasure Mr Joestar. Polnareff also seems to be having trouble waking up.” Said French was sprawled on a bench.

“1”

“2” 

“What are they even going to-“ Avdol interrupted you. “We better get back.”

“3!” Hierophant Green and Hermit purple made an appearance, Kakyoin had Hierophant unravel his tentacles and take a hold of Polnareff, throwing him over Jotaro with a loud thumb.

That was going to hurt.

Polnareff’s eyes opened mid air, his stand appearing besides him with a crazed look before he fell over Jotaro, the later manifesting Star Platinum with a huff as the French landed over him. Joseph took that as his cue so he had Hermit Purple direct at them and raised his voice.

“Hamon overdrive!” Shiny yellow rays illuminated the boat as Jotaro and Polnareff were shocked.

Scratch that, that was going to leave a mark.

“Oh shit” As the charge died down both victims turned their view at their assailants, their eyes narrowing and their stands manifesting. “Hoho Jotaro don’t look at me like that! You would not hurt your old man…would you?” With that Jotato stood up Kakyoin and Joseph exchanged a look.

“Kakyoin?”

“Yes Mr Joestar?”

“Nigerundayo! Kakyoin!” Joseph took off and after some instants Kakyoin followed close behind. Polnareff and Jotaro took that as their cue. “COME BACK HERE PUTAIN DE MERDE I AM GOING TO CUT YOUR FUCKING NOODLE AND MAME JOESTAR EAT IT.” 

Holy shit Joseph used the secret Joestar technique.

Like.

Holy shit.

Also, Kakyoin's hair was likely going to die, oh no.

“NEVER.” From the sidelines, Avdol and you watched Jotaro, who in the commotion had left his hat, make a big ass jump with Star Platinum, giving the impression that he was flying.

So that was the secret uh?

Cool.

Polnareff ran behind them, his chariot helping him to keep up. The remaining crew stilled momentarily before continuing with their work (their professionalism was actually impressive)  as Avdol and you exchanged a look.

“So.. you know how to get to the hotel?” At your question, Avdol nodded lightly, barely containing a laugh with a cough before composing himself. “That I do Missy but would you care to accompany me for some food first?” Food actually sounded pretty good at the moment. “It would be a pleasure Avdol, where are going?” 

He tched lightly. “Worry not, you will see soon.”

-
You ended up walking to a market near the city's center.

The crew had taken you to Sarjah just like things were planned and the city was breathing life. Tourists not unlike yourself could be seen flooding the streets and locals didn’t fall behind. All in all the places were active and loud noises were heard, even at night.

It made you nostalgic.

“This way Missy.” You followed Avdol as you left the tourist area and entered some local places that, while still noisy, had a more reasonable price for things. Still, every street you crossed was filled with beautiful houses/buildings that complimented the night. Finally, Avdol stopped at a small local.“Choose whatever you like.” After ordering your food and some for the rest of the gang(who were probably still running through the city) Avdol and you sat as a question entered your mind. “Avdol?” 

“Yes Missy?”

“I know that we aren’t supposed to tell anyone but I have no one else to turn to and I know you won’t say anything so...” He looked at you expectantly. “What can I gift Mr Joestar?”

He hummed. “Well he is on fact, a millionaire as you know but I think he will appreciate something with a significant meaning behind, he is that kind of person. Don’t you think?”

You nodded as an idea came to your mind. “Thank you Avdol, I know just what will suffice.” The rest of the talk was amiable and he informed you of some things bound to happen.

You made your way to the hotel quickly, a nice and big building with modern outlines and spotted the rest of the group on the lobby. At first glance they would seem normal but if one looked close enough Kakyoin and Joseph had some bruises on their skin and Kakyoin’s noodle looked off.
And was it you or his other bangs were thicker?

It was Polnareff who approached you first going directly for the food. “Ah finally some high class nourishment! Hey Jotaro, you gotta try this!” Jotaro stood up after a last murder glance to Joseph, who purposely looked at Avdol for some sort of rescue.  Kakyoin was still on his seat, hands running through his hair and- Oh God- was he sobbing?

“Don’t worry ma Cherie, nothing is wrong. Right Jotaro?”

“He looks awful.”

“The jerk is fine, right Kakyoin?” At Jotaro’s words Kakyoin quickly turned to him and nodded. “Yes Jojo! Everything fine haha! My hair is fine!”

Of course he wasn’t fine.

What had they even done to the 2 of them?

“Did you guys…you know what, not my business. Kakyoin come for some food, you are falling to your feet. Jotaro, here is your hat.” Everyone sat down on the lobby and ate dinner, Kakyoin still at your side, occasionally stealing glances to look at the other two or grimace at his hair. 

“Tomorrow we will depart to Abu Dhabi.”

Joseph had visibly calmed down after some food. “We will depart at midday, it is a 2 hour trip so be ready. I already booked the rooms.” He yawned mid sentence before continuing. “Here are the keys.” 3 keys were on Joseph’s hand. Avdol took the first one, you took the other and Jotaro the third one. Speaking about Jotaro, he hadn’t mentioned the kissing thing at while you were relieved cuz it would have been kind of weird, you also felt some kind of strange feeling in your chest.

Well, either way you were really aching for some kind of shower and so you said your good nights quickly and entered your room. To your surprise it was Kakyoin who entered behind you and propelled in the bed instead of Polnareff.

Whatever.

Your clothes had all become soaked and it was only thanks to the Foundation that you had any clothes to wear at the moment(they had given Avdol and you a small bag with some clothing before going for food). You quickly peeled of your uniform and bathed, soaking in the hot water and washing it as well as you could in the bathtub.

Being in the sea for hours wasn’t something you would recommend to anyone.

As you exited the bathroom wearing some way to big pajamas you saw Kakyoin examining his hair on a mirror. So they had actually cut some of it uh? As soon as he saw you he collected his things(courtesy of Avdol) and entered the bathroom not really uttering a word, his mouth in a straight line. You went to your bed and staring watched the TV, eventually setting on some kids channel.

“Missy?” Kakyoin opened the bathroom’s door slightly, his hair all wet. “Would you uhm, help me with something?”  You went to the bathroom and spotted him looking at the mirror.

Now that you thought about it, he wasn’t that tall compared to the others. Taller than you yes but kind of small compared to the other 4. “They messed up my hair.”

“Oh really?” It was funny how flustered he got considering he was always composed.
“I am being serious.” Cute. “Can you just fix this or something?” 

“And what makes you think I know how to cut hair?”

“You corrected your bangs and you style hair, any hair.” 

“Fair enough but I don’t assure you anything okay?” He nodded. “Please sit in the floor, on your knees.” You made a quick job of leaving his noodle as even as you could and cutting the off the larger hairs to make his bangs look err, acceptable.

“There all done, anything else Kakyoin?” At some point he had started to lean completely on you and while at the moment you had ignored it, now you could see that he had his eyes closed. “Goddamit Kakyoin, are you sleeping?” Silence answered you.

How did anyone fall asleep on their freaking knees?

Uh.

Now that you thought about it you had fallen asleep before and in way weirder places.

Anyways you had to sleep and there was no way you were carrying him, right? “Hey bro it isn’t funny, I have to sleep.” After some more failed attempts including covering his nose and just letting him fall to the floor, you settled on dragging him across the bathroom and onto the carpet. You pursed your lips before just settling on throwing on a blanket and giving him a pillow in case he woke up in the morning.

Honestly, 62 kg weren’t really that much.

You snuggled into your bed and after turning off the TV, fell asleep.

-

December 24th, a day before Christmas.

The trip to Abu Dhabi was short, everyone had breakfast in the hotel and hooped onto the car provided by the SPW foundation. Joseph insisted on driving because 'you were in a city' and apparently minors or people without a driver’s license behind the wheel was something illegal and blablabla. He wasn’t fooling anyone though, the car was made for 5 people and he had probably requested to drive to avoid being uncomfortable.

Well he was losing his chance, Jotaro’s legs were pretty comfortable.

The trip through the 2 cities was pretty nice and you could even see he coast from time to time. But still, nothing was as impressive as the houses. They were big.

Like motherfucking big.

Anyways, you got there without troubles, no crashes, no stand enemies and no altercations. The hotel Joseph chose was expensive, near the beach and unlike any other you had seen,. You were even afraid to touch certain things, fearing that you would break them and they would charge it to Joseph.

That wasn’t the case of Polnareff though.
“Hey look Jotaro! Here says that they have their own restaurant with French food included!”  Of course Jotaro didn’t even bother to look at him as he answered. “Sure it does.” Polnareff scowled. “Hey! Pay me attention agh- you know what? Whatever Je suis vraiment sure that the lovely Madmoiselle of our group will be glad that enjoy dinner with me, right belle? Uh where is she?”

He spotted you at the counter taking as many free mints as you could from a strategically placed bowl. Jotaro nudged you. “Uh? Yes? Someone called me?” Insert sad French men noises on the background.

“Guys I have an announcement to mak- is Polnareff okay?” Joseph had a confused look while Avdol gently massaged his forehead. “Just… continue Mr Joestar, nothing wrong.”

“Err, okay. As you know today is Christmas Eve and so I thought it would have been cool for bonding and shit if we all shared a room! Ain’t that great?!” Joseph took confidence as his speech continued till he ended almost screaming the final question. After some detailed description of the room, he showed the keys and directed you to said room. Strangely enough, no one did protest and even Jotaro seemed rather…calm?

“Aha! Here we are!” The habitation (more like apartment) consisted on a central kitchen and a living room(with a sofa bed), it had 4 rooms, 3 equipped bathroom’s and a jacuzzi on one of them. Even if you had seen way more technology back at home, the place had the newest technologies till the date and it’s whole decoration screamed expensive. The chambers had a small balcon which led to the sea.

Woah.

Kakyoin, while slightly awed, held a small smile on his face; Avdol seemed as unfazed as Jotaro(the former looked almost glad while the later had his lips slightly turned up) which left Polnareff and you as the only ones who were actively gawking at the place.

“Nice isn’t it?” Joseph’s voice took you out of your trance as he neared you, his deep laugh booming through his chest, almost giving you goosebumps as you nodded. “Right! Take this.” He handed each of you a wad of bills, making your eyebrows almost raise till your hairline, even Jotaro arched a brow at Joseph’s not weird but still surprising show of affection. “Don’t look at me like that! We will be having dinner in a fancy restaurant, like long dresses, tuxedo fancy restaurant and I don’t want any of you being left out for improper clothes okay?” He took the silence as a yes and continued. “Okay it is uh, 3 o clock we will meet here at 8 pm to leave. Now get your asses out of here!” 

“Mr Joestar, isn’t this a bit too much money?”  Kakyoin had his brow arched. “Ah nonsense! Also remember to buy your gifts for tomorrow morning okay?” Joseph offered you a big grin. “Your next line will be thank you Mr Joestar!”

“Thank you Mr Joestar.” Oh God, had he just done his thingy…?

Hdjsjakak.

You exited the hotel as you followed Kakyoin, Jotaro and Polnareff besides you. 

Now the real problem began.

Where the fuck were going to look for a fucking dress. Some sort of Mall, maybe? Honestly you had no idea of where were you and settled on following the boys. Eventually, they foud one and after agreeing to meet at 6 to return to the hotel, everyone left to mind their own business.

Well, shit.

The first thing you did was buy Joseph’s gift, simple but significant. The second thing was buy an ice cream because the weather was hot and while you didn’t dislike shopping you tried to postpone it as much as you could.

Long live procastination.

After finishing your ice cream you settled on doing rounds on the mall to see if any store caught your attention. “Hey Madmoiselle! Are you done yet?” Polnareff was waving at you with a big grin and some sort of bag on his hand. “Err no but-“ He looked scandalised.

“But Cherie! You only have some hours left to decide! Has anything catched your attention?!”

“…yes?” He didn’t buy it. “Nonono that just can’t be, we are looking for a dress and you will like it.” Polnareff took your wrist and started dragging you to some random shop and you let him, being objective there was no way you could even resist and his help was quite needed so resigning yourself you entered the shop and let him do his thing.
-

2 hours, it took him 2 freaking hours to find a dress “good enough for your lovely body” and you were tired. The worse was that he didn’t even settle on the dress, deciding to buy some things for the occasion. It had been worth it though, the dress a nice, deep blue, shiny, form fitting dress with a lose back and no sleeves.  

“Everyone has got their things?” Kakyoin and Jotaro were already at the spot, had probably been there for some time if his faces said anything but you decided to ignore the fact and gave them a grin. “Oui Monsieur, everything okay.”

You exited the mall humming till a voice interrupted you, Jotaro. “Uh? Said anything Jotaro?” He scowled as his face turned the other side. “… give me the bags woman.”

“And why should I?”

“You are weak.” Oh you already knew where this was going but decided to drag it for longer. “I am, in fact, perfectly capable of carrying this bags.”

“Woman. Give me the bags, they are heavy for the likes of you.” Okay that sounded rude. “Thank you for the offer Jotaro but seriously they are no big deal.” You eyed the big bag at his side. “Hey is that the gift?” He nodded curtly. “It looks big, lucky the person who  you’ll gift.”

He tched and the rest of the way back was spent in comfortable silence. 

“We are here!” Kakyoin announced as soon you entered and carried his bags to his room. “Ah guys welcome! You got everything?” 

“We have Mr-“ Joseph had apparently just exited the bathroom after taking a shower, wearing only a towel. “Joestar.”

A.

As.

Asjfkmdkskanamanma.

You were used to human bodies but something made your face feel really hot so you settled on remaining silent.

“Get some clothes damn old man.”

“Jeez! You are such a prude Jotaro! How do you even plan on getting a lovely lady one day?”

You took a deep breath and ignoring their discussion, entered you room. A bath sounded great and you needed to get ready for the dinner. (Somewhere really inside your chest a feeling made you giddy, it had been so long since you had actually tended yourself. You took a bath, worn some pajamas and settled on doing your hair(why was it that your hair clips lasted more than your actual clothes?) when someone knocked.

“Enter!”

“Hey Cherie!” Polnareff entered the room with his hair wet and down, he had the same clothes as ever though. “I brought your accessories!” He raise the bag and jiggled them.

Accessories.

Great.

“Ah, thank you Polnareff. Just leave them on the bed.” 

“Nonsense!” Uh? “Madmoiselle do you have any idea on how to style your hair?” You shrugged but he looked even more scandalised. “Belle I fill the obligation to help you! It was me, the great Polnareff, who chose those after all.”  He looked at you expectantly and honestly you were opposed. He had also bought some sort of makeup and the hair thingies with the heels. “Don't you have to get ready too?”

“Ah, Mr Joestar prohibited me to wear my magnificent updo! So I will settle on this.” He generally motioned his hair, specially the front that may or may have not contained some hairspray.

“Okay yeah, fine by me.” His eyes shimmered with emotion and he urged you to the bed, quickly settling on doing his job. He started with your hair, drying it with the dryer to 'give it volume' , after some time he started making some sort of bun high on your head, using the clips and the big hair accessory he had bought on the top(it looked like a small tiara?). He left your bangs alone, letting them frame your face  

It wasn’t till he started your makeup that you noticed his soft expression. He must have noticed your stating because the next thing you knew was that his eyes locked in yours  . He looked...nostalgic.

“How did you learn how to do… this?” He looked away, hands still moving. “Ah well Sherry used to love doing makeup and hair. Sometimes I would let her make my hair or even put on makeup on my face. She taught me how to braid her hair and when she had any important event I was the one who helped her get ready. She was really beautiful you know? She didn’t need to wear it but she loved it.”

“Well, you learnt well and I am sure she is glad, wherever she is right now.” 

After that silence reigned the room and you started to feel sleepy till his voice interrupted you. “There! Your hair is done Madmoiselle.” He took your hand and dragged you to the restroom. Your hair was done in some sort of updo with the tiara on top. The French was looking at you expectantly. “This is freaking awesome Polnareff like… holy shit.”

“I am glad you liked it Cherie now, I will do your makeup, ok?” The makeup was faster and not even 20 minutes passed when he was done. You looked at the clock, 7:23. “Thank you Polnareff now if you excuse I will change my clothes.”

“Oh yes! Don’t you worry sweetie.” 

“When I said excuse I meant alone.”

“Yeah.”

“Please get out.”

“Yeah.”

 He got out of the room mumbling to himself and left to change into his clothes. Well, at least if the others didn’t dress up that much, Polnareff was extravagant and there was no way he settled for some casual formal clothes. You picked up the dress and, after some manoeuvering, managed to get it completely closed. 

It was beautiful.

Honestly the dress probably costed more than any dress that you had ever worn in your life but Joseph said enjoy. By the time you put on the heels the clock read 7:45 so you exited your room. The good thing was that you were almost Kakyoin’s height with the motherfucking tall heels, the bad thing was that your feet were going to hurt. 

A lot.

You weren’t stranger to dresses and even enjoyed wearing them to casual affairs but somehow entering the living room where supposedly fictional characters and you were travelling to Egypt to defeat a metrosexual vampire for almost killing one of said fictional character's mother with some sort of soul manifestation spirit but had enough time to go for some Christmas Eve dinner made you feel nervous. 

Jotaro was sitting on a coach smoking as you entered the living room and he didn’t even spare you a glance as you sat besides him. He was wearing a black turtleneck, a vest with a pattern and some sort of modified version of his coat with matching pants. All in all in was similar to his part 4 outfit with color variations and of course his black hat.

He looked hot.

Kakyoin entered the room as you finished analyzing Jotaro’s outfit, he had a dark green suit with a white cherry themed shirt. His hair was sort of slicked back with his bang specially taken care of.

Also hot.

His eyes opened slightly more as he took into your appearance before he settled for a smirk. “You look very good Missy, I see that sending Polnareff to your direction was a good decision after all.”

“Ah Kakyoin, so you do know how to bath uh? Wait, what do you mean with sending Polnareff to me?” Polnareff was just exiting his room when you looked at him. “Oh Madmoiselle I see that we made a lovely election, that blue suits you just fine.” His smirk must have looked really charming considering his hair was done in some sort of ponytail but you were still baffled with Kakyoin’s confession, even as he took your hand to kiss it. “Jean-Pierre Polnareff, did you help me because they told you?” 

“It was a bet.”

“Jotaro! Why would you tell her?” Jotaro let out a long breath and looked at you directly. “Kakyoin encountered the idiot and they were worried about you, they played rock paper scissor he lost and he went to help you.”

Honestly you couldn’t be mad considering they were worried about you. It was sweet, sort of.

Before anyone could comment you heard a whistle behind you. “Damn! Someone gotta get you arrested babe cause that body is illegal.” 

“The fuck.”

“Ah Hol Horse! Good to have you here!” Joseph, who thank God had some clothes on, approached the other man and gave him a bone-crushing hug, literally. “Mr Joestar, will you explain us what the hell is this shitty cowboy doing here?” Polnareff looked a lot scandalised and you sighed, letting him realise the situation. “I invited him for dinner.”Hol Horse manouvered himself out of Joseph’s embrace and went to your side, greeting you with a kiss on the cheek. 

No one was really surprised to see the man, after all, Avdol had told you that he was coming the day before and apparently he had also told Jotaro and Kakyoin, Polnareff being the only one left out.

“Damn right fella.” The cowboy, who  you realized had some sort of formal wear, sat besides you and encircled your waist. “Are you round this parts?” You smiled. “Hello Hol Horse, you have 5 seconds to remove your arm from its place.” 

Polnareff who finally got out of his shock scowled. “Why do none of you look surprised?!”

“Ah is Hol Horse already here?” Avdol deemed that moment to make his apparition. “Oh for the love of-“

“Right on time Avdol. Let’s get going, the  limousine is already outside.” 

“Does no one plan to tell me?!”

Fancy wasn’t enough for the likes of the restaurant you went taken. First you had taken some goddamn limousine to the nicer parts of the city, considering that all the city was nice. The building looked modern, at least to the actual date, and it was beautiful.

Between Hol Horse and Polnareff the ride had been quite entertaining and you were quite grateful that you didn’t have to sit on no one’s legs, opting to sit between Avdol and Jotaro. When you had gotten to the restaurant Kakyoin had helped you get down, probably mindful of the heels and while neither that, nor the helping arms offered by Polnareff and Hol Horse(who probably did it more out of a competence than to help you walk) or even Joseph’s little compliments or Avdol’s help at pulling your seat were needed, you were enjoying the attentions. The city of Abu Dhabi wasn’t one to make a big festivity out of Christmas in contrast to your hometown but the lively night life and the amount of all-around the world tourist made up for it.

The restaurant was even more striking on the inside, it had a beautiful view to the dark ocean. The days were you used to be afraid of it seemed far away, with everything you had passed you couldn’t help but think that even with Dio’s menace, you were at the safest place on Earth.  

Almost like a dream.

Probably a dream.

Anyways, you cut your line of thought. It was getting rather sad you weren’t going to let it bother you. 

Apparently the restaurant was also some kind of night life fancy center with the dance floor on the middle and some kind of orchestra besides it. Some couples were dancing and with the ever changing lights, the music and the beautiful people, it was quite the spectacle. 

“Ready to order?”  

The menus had an English traduction (thank God) and you quickly ordered a classical dinner for Christmas. The food was consumed and some wine too. 

Apparently no one really gave a shit about minors drinking uh?

“You are 17?!” Hol Horse, who you may add had some beers on him, asked scandalised. “Well yeah, Jotaro and Kakyoin are too.”

“Goddamn motherfucking shit.” 
“Wait you didn’t know?”

“Baguette man I may be an asshole but even I know that some 12 years old difference with a minor is wrong in a relationship, so I am sorry err- Missy?. Call me when you turn 21.” 

“On no! Don’t you do that to me Mr Horse!”
He tched and then smiled. “Well anyways, care to have a dance with this handsome guy?”  You feigned ignorance. “Ah thank you but I am sure that Jotaro hasn’t asked me on a dance.” Speaking of Jotaro he had been mostly silent since the hotel, not really speaking to you, only stealing small glances. Honestly being given the cold shoulder by one of your fav characters hurt. “Aww sweetie don’t be like that! Are you afraid to dance some good ol’ country songs?”

The band had been changing their music genre since the night began and to be honest you were feeling quite playful so, standing up you offered your hand to the cowboy and he changed his awed expression to a flirty one in no time. “Let me show you how it is done.” You quickly left your heels at the table and followed Hol Horse to dance and avoid falling on your face.

You only live once after all.

“I finally got you Madmoiselle.” Somehow in the middle of another song Polnareff had exchanged his partner with Hol Horse and you had ended up with the French. Honestly you felt quite flustered and you didn’t know if it was the alcohol on your system or the music but you embraced Polnareff and danced with him, even as the genre changed to songs that you actually knew.

Cool 80s songs.

“TAKE ON MEEEE!” 

“Take on me!”

“TAKE ME ONNNN”

This was one of the best days in your fucking life.

-

As the night progressed Joseph joined the group, somehow bringing Kakyoin and Jotaro with him (even if the later looked annoyed, his body language and his head swaying betrayed him.) and so everyone minus Avdol, who stayed at the table watching your things, was dancing on the floor with the other people at the restaurant.

It was some nice shit.

Someone must have asked for a song because as soon it ended the orchestra started playing a slow song. The crowd quickly dispersed and turned to dance in couples. Your local flirts were dancing with some women, a girl(woman?) That could be either a teen or a mom in her thirties had snatched Kakyoin and had him dancing with her with some sort of weird expression on his face.

Was he uncomfortable? Maybe. Where you doing anything about it? Nah.

You turned to follow Joseph to the table when a hand on your shoulder stooped you. Jotaro, and by the looks of it he was saying something. “Sorry fella  I didn’t hear you.”
He grumbled and frowned. Without saying anything he took your other hand and looked at you expectantly. He had taken off his hat apparently and his piercing turquoise eyes were in a mild annoyed expression. After a sigh he looked around the crowd and you followed his gaze, looking at the other people dancing.

Ah.

“Good grief.”

“Do you want to.. dance?” He was about to retrieve his hands when you took them and harshly positioned the one that used to be one your shoulder on your waist while you took the other and placed your hand on his shoulder. “I mean will like to dance with you, but I hadn’t thought that you… not that I don’t wantto! It is just that you are so cute and that Ithought you wouldn’t want to dance or someting because you haven’t spoke to me since the mall and I-“

“Shut up, will you woman? Just…”He turned away his gaze, avoiding your face. “Shut up.”

“Okay.”

You swayed to the music slowly and as the music changed yet again for some old song you actually recognized from Frank Sinatra, Fly me to the moon. 

You actually started to hear him because Fly me to the moon was the ending of Evangelion, another known anime that you had enjoyed.

Oops.

Wait did your favourite animes exist here?

While you were never much of a dancer, you actually enjoyed it and you found yourself happily swaying with Jotaro who, surprisingly, was a good dancer. Would it ruin the mood if you asked him where did he learn? Probably. 

You didn’t know how much time passed till Joseph interrupted you but you couldn’t help but feel disappointed, a strange ache in your chest. One that was familiar but unknown at the same time. As you reentered the vehicle behind a flustered Kakyoin you started to feel tired and, not even bothering to warn whoever was besides you, you quickly fell asleep on their shoulder.

Chapter Text

“Why are we stopping? Wasn’t this supposed to be A pARTY?!”

“HOWDY PARTNER!”

“Boys we are at the hotel already, please get down and stop bothering the driver.”

You opened your eyes and yawned , honestly you wanted nothing more than to sleep but passing the night on the limo wasn’t a good idea. Or… was it?

“PARTY PARTY!”

“Mr Joestar please stop hogging the man and get down.” Avdol was trying to get the 3 men out of the limo, Kakyoin was already standing outside with Jotaro, red covering all his face, but the others were trying to convince the driver to get them to some kind of bar. 

Avdol was a mother hen, can’t change your mind.

“I am out.” Avdol nodded but the other 3 were still screaming, Polnareff had apparently switched to French.

You had just gotten out when a sudden source of heat startled you. “Don’t make me count to 3.” Ah, the good old count to 3 technique, the presence of Magicians Red only added to it.

Nice to see traditions weren’t lost.

Avdol didn’t even start counting when the rest of the group exited the limousine, the driver quickly taking off and leaving you there.

Uh, he must have been scared.

A shame, really.

You didn’t even register the trip to the room, just that the next thing you knew was that you were at your bedroom taking off the dress and washing your face, not even bothering to remove your hairdo and plopping onto the bed on your under shorts and the Speedwagon shirt.

Your you from tomorrow could deal with all the shit but your you from the present needed sleep.

You turned off the lights and plopped down on the bed, falling to sleep immediately.

-

Someone was screaming. 

You opened your eyes and got out of the room as fast as you could, your hands were shaking when you opened the door. Which stand was it this time? You only hoped-

“MEERRYYYYY CHRISTMAAAAAS!”

a.

Joseph was on the living room, and it seemed that some kind of elf had thrown up on the it, he turned to look at you. “Ah Missy! Good to see you are awake! Come here!” He walked to you and gave you a bone crushing hug (if it wasn’t for the fact that nothing could harm you, you would be probably nearing unconsciousness), lifting you from the floor and actually spinning you around.

It was comforting but you were glad that your face wasn’t being seen because it would have been so red. “Merry Christmas Mr Joestar.” It sounded muffled but it would have to do for the moment. Wait a minute. Wasn’t Joseph like drunk as fuck the night before? Maybe, he could also have healed himself with Hamon.

Ho, cool.

Would he try to teach you if you asked?

A creaking was heard and you managed to see Kakyoin with his freaking stripped pajamas, closing  his door, probably to avoid being seen and the crushing hug. He spotted you seeing him and you could actually see his eyes plead. Too bad you didn’t care. “Ah Kakyoin! Merry Christmas!”

“KAKYOIN MY BOY COME HEREE!” 

Polnareff was no where to he seen, even if he was supposed to stay on the living room but before you could voice it Polnareff exited Jotaro’s room, his hair in his weird updo and clean clothes. Jotaro was behind him but contrary to the French man, he had the tank top and what you guessed were sweatpants on. 

“Joyeux Noell!” The French sounded happy but from his tone you could tell that he had a hangover and, if you were right, Kakyoin and Hol Horse would also have one. “Merry Christmas to you too Jean-Pierre, Jotaro.”

The later acknowledged you with a nodd and you  scoffed. “By the way Mr Joestar, where are Avdol and Hol Horse?” That was.. actually a reasonable question from Polnareff.

“Avdol is taking a shower. What do you mean 'where is Hol Horse?’ Weren’t the both of you sleeping here?”

“Well I don’t know! When I woke up he wasn’t here with us!”

“Has anyone seen Hol Horse?”

“I don’t know… could he have run away to Dio?” 

“Quick, check the rooms.”

“Good grief.”

As expected, he wasn’t in any room.

Something wasn’t adding up, the Foundation had offered him a big amount of money and there was no way that he had ran away, right? He hadn’t liked Dio on the anime , he didn’t even trust him, it was more of a fear/money thing!

“I knew it! He wasn’t someone we could trust, the hat was evil, there was no way he could have allied him-“

The front door opened. 

“Mornin’.” Hol Horse noticed your starring and he raised the bag. “Want some hangover pills?”

Some moments of silence passed till Polnareff spoke. “Uh, oui.” 

“Now, now Polnareff what was that you had said about a traitor?” Polnareff was about to grab the bag when Kakyoin spoke and Hol Horse retrieved it. “Wait a moment. A traitor?”

“Ah don’t listen to that nonsense, I didn’t say anything! Right belle femme?” He gave you a pleading look but you just huffed. “I don’t know Polnareff, did you?”

Needless to say, Polnareff didn’t get any pills for his headache.

Your stomach grumbled and Jotaro must have heard because he raised an eyebrow at you. “Uhm, I don’t mean to intrude and you seem to be having fun-“ Polnareff was trying to do a headlock on Kakyoin at Joseph’s encouraging words while Hol Horse retrieved a glass of water and took his pill. “But I was wondering if we could actually do for some breakfast?”

No answer.

Well, no one could say you didn’t ask.

Not bothering to change your clothes you surrounded the men and made your way to the door, exiting the room because, even if you wanted to receive your gift and everything, the food was first. To your surprise Jotaro also exited the room and the both of you went to the  breakfast buffet that the hotel offered. 

Apparently, for Christmas, they had some chefs prepare you what you ordered and the typical American breakfast elements.
You went directly for some food, it wasn’t everyday that you received a pass for free AND luxurious food. You took some fruit(it had been a long time since you had consumed it) and ordered an omelette with cheese an onions to the nice chef that, thank God, spoke English. The dessert could come later.

You spotted Jotaro sitting on a 2 person table eating.

Cute.

He was eating some sort of Japanese style breakfast (At least you guessed that was it?) But he had a mild frown on his face.

“Do you think the food is suffering because we are eating it or happy because it has reached its purpose?” It was some sort of spectacle. Jotaro stilled, turned to look at you, opened his mouth, closed it and eventually settled on readjusting his hat.

“What the fuck.”

 “Well? Which one do you think it is?” He blinked and slowly resumed eating. “They have reached their purpose, they accomplished it.” 

“So they should be happy?”

“Who cares, shut up and eat your food.” 

“On no Jotaro! Don’t talk to me like that my poor heart can not take it!” He huffed. “You are annoying.” So he wanted to play uh? “You are an emo edge lord.”

“Bitch.”

“Mommys boy.”

“Annoying jerk.”

“Do you not know other comebacks or what emo boy?” He mostly ignored your comment.“What does that shit even mean?”

 Ah yes, you were about 30 years in the past.

“What, emo?” He nodded, feigning uninterest. “It means uh, wait a minute.” Holy shit, what did emo even mean? Quick, think of something.

“Err… someone like… you?.”

He arched a brow and you shrugged. “You know what, I won’t bother. Give it 5-10 years and you’ll get it okay?” You continued eating but he didn’t drop the subject. “And how would you know?” He had his eyes narrowed slightly but he seemed more curious than anything and you could see Star's outline on his body. May as well play along. “The same way I know that your favourite food is your mother’s and…” He looked directly at you, waiting for an answer.

“And…” 

“Just say it”

On another thought, you telling him about Star's Platinum Special ability in front of a lot of people wasn’t an ideal situation. 

Well, better feign ignorance.

“Oops, it seems that I forgot.” He furrowed his eyebrows. “Ah look at the time! I am already done. See you at the room!”You quickly took a piece of cake and returned to the room. Jotaro’s large and slightly faster than the usual strides made it easy for him to reach you. “And what woman.”

“Not telling.” You were already in the elevator. “Good grief, you can’t just be a bitch.”

“I can and I will thank you very much.”

“Fuck you.”

“Thanks but I would rather you didn’t.”

Was it prudent that you told him that he could… stop time?

The danger was that if Dio heard that Jotaro knew the enemies would come by faster but, if Jotaro and Star Platinum actually managed to stop time and practice it…he could save the others. The thing was that it wasn’t a decision to take lightly and while you needed a third opinion, the chance of changing the story was high.

If you remembered correctly the stands of the 9 Egyptian God’s were strong , while some episodes had seemed funny at the time, stands like the one of Alessi, Daniel D'arby, N'Doul and Anubis were dangerous. Still, you couldn’t help but feel pity on some of them: The Oingo Boingo brothers were young, N'Doul and Mariah had blind devotion for Dio and even the D’arby brothers could prove to be useful if they were good guys.What had happened with them so that they ended up charmed by Dio as his blind followers?

Without noticing, you had already entered the apartment and to your surprise there was no one there. “They must have gone for breakfast and yet we didn’t encounter them.”So it was just Jotaro and you right?  

Fuck it.

There were more pros than cons.

He made a move to sit on the the coach and you followed him, sitting right besides him.He arched a brow again and you pursed your lips turning on the TV to avoid looking suspicious.

“Jotaro I need to tell you something.”He tensed.“ Hear me out before saying anything okay?” Your head was almost resting on his shoulder as your lips neared his ear. “Jotaro you-“

“HEY ARE YOU READY FOR THE GIIIFTS?”

Holy fucking shit.

“WHAT THE HELL POLNAREFF I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK!”

“What?! Oh wait a moment…” He assessed you and suddenly you were left aware on how did you and Jotaro look like. You were practically leaning on him and your mouth was near his ear in a compromising position.

“You sure do move fast uh Jotaro?”

A.

Breathe in.

Breathe out 

“Good fucking grief.”

“Polnareff.” You stood up and gave him the nicest smile you could. “Before you jump into conclusions: 1, it was not what you were thinking. 2, If you tell someone I will kill you and 3, why don’t you get your gift ready uh? We will wait here.”

For a moment, he stilled.

“I…uh…Oui.” With that he left and Jotaro’s shoulders dropped slightly. “What the hell woman.” You frowned. “Later Jotaro, now if you excuse I will look for my gift.” You retreated quickly to retrieve Joseph’s gift and hoped that he would like it. You returned to the living room. Everyone, including Hol Horse, who had a scowl on his face, was there. “Who wants to go first?”  Avdol asked.

“Well usually the one who asks so,why don’t you lead the way Avdol?” The Egyptian just smiled and stood at the middle of the room. “We have to describe the person, correct?” You nodded and he began.

“This gift is for a man with a a lot of qualities, he is intelligent, cultured and knows how to read the ambience. He has been with us since the beginning of the voyage, he has a good heart and his politeness is remarkable. He- Mr Joestar it isn’t you, sit down.” Joseph grumbled as he returned to his seat and Avdol cleared his throat. “Kakyoin, this is for you.”  Kakyoin stood up and awkwardly took the gift.

“Open it! Open it!” Kakyoin opened the small box to find a simple white shirt with 2 smily cherries. He looked slightly embarrassed as he traced the pattern, his cheeks slightly flushed red. “Thank you Mr Avdol.”

Awwwww.

“Now give each other a hug!” Tradition was traidtion after all. Kakyoin looked surprised as Avdol embraced him in a bros hug. Manly. “Kakyoin, it is your turn!” Kakyoin  stood up with a small bag. “They are a brave person, with a nice heart and while they can be clumsy from time to time, this person is bound to give their life for what they believe. They are noble.” At the lack of people standing up Kakyoin sighed. “Also, they are an idiot.”

Ah yes, Polnareff.

“The last bit was unnecessary.” Polnareff received his gift and embraced Kakyoin, almost suffocating him and- wait where those tears? “Open the gift.”

He took some kind of gel and a spray out of the bag. “How did you know it?” He smiled really big. “I am almost out of hair products! Oh look candies!” He smiled one again before continuing. “I guess it is my turn, right? Beforehand I would like to thank you guys for uuh, everything. This is my first Christmas since Sherry so thank you. Well now the person! They are pretty mature and kind of silent? They are the strongest in the group and quite the lady’s man.” Did he just wink in your direction? “They have a strong sense of justice and can be quite scary if I am being serious.”

You could already tell who it was. “Jotaro? This is for you.” He took a small box out ofpqntspants and Jotaro stood up. “Open it JoJo.”

“Give me a break.” Jotaro opened the box and inside laid a small dolphin chain. “Well do you like it? Pleasedontpunchme” To Polnareff’s surprise, Jotaro smiled slightly as he took the chain and the room almost glowed because, fuck, Jotaro was smiling.

“Good grief, shut up Polnareff.”

“Aww did my cute grandson like it?”

“I am going to kill you.”

Honestly, everything seemed so domestic and cute that it made you wanna cry.

“As if! You are underestimating your grandfather.” Jotaro just raised an eyebrow. “Still, it is your turn! And you better make a good description!” Jotaro let out another Yare Yare and took the bag that he had left on the sofa.”The person is tough and resistant. Not so annoying and has been quite useful on the trip.” Jotaro the ever eloquent. “Woman this is yours.” You couldn’t say you didn’t expect it because there were only Avdol Joseph and you so, considering his description, you were probably the most fitting. “Thank you Jotaro.” Inside the bag was a bandana, some chocolates and a box of Christmas themed candies.

Yessssss.

Candies would always be one of the best things to receive.

“Candy and a Bandana! Oh yesss. Thanks a lot Jotaro.” He was about to sit when Hol Horse tsked(you had kind of forgotten he was there oops) “Weren’t y'all hugging each other for this thing?” 

“Oh that is right Jotaro, Missy! They are the rules after all.” 

“Who says?”

“Well you did Missy so I recommend you to be loyal to your words.” 

“Good grief.”

“And don’t try to say no! You have done more than hug if what I-“

“Polnareff either you shut up or you die.” You ignored Kakyoin’s voice in the background asking Polnareff about what was he talking about and gave Jotaro a hug “Thank you JoJo.” You cleared your throat as Jotaro sat down. “My person is brave and courageous. Adventurous and while they can be a bit like an err, idiot, they are intelligent and charismatic. They have saved the world and well sponsored most of the travel haha. Well, uhm Mr Joestar?” 

Joseph was an amazing character and if it wasn’t for the infidelity thing, he would have been your favourite JoJo back then. Joseph stood up confidently and after hugging you (Thank God for supernatural resistance) he took the bag that you offered him. He opened it giddily and took out the small plastic bag inside. “Are these…?”

“Yes Mr Joestar. At the beginning I wasn’t so sure considering you are rich and stuff but some helped me.” He was silent, as if assessing the gift. “Do you…like it?” That took him out of his stupor and he yet again gave you another bear hug. “Thank you so much Missy! It has been some time since I owned one of this things!” There in his fingers were a pair of cracker volleys, with a J painted on each ball,  they were black and while you didn’t really remember if they were supposed to be that way you could tell that he had liked it. After the whole thing he finally gifted some sort of book to Avdol, who’s eemed quite pleased with it. Joseph continued playing with cracker volleys till Hol Horse tched.

Poor guy, no one had given him a gift.

Or at least that was what he thought.

“As much as I enjoy watching old men silently fume.” He looked at you scowling. “I bought you some cookies.” His while demeanor changed and he offered you a flirty smile. “Sorry pretty girl but I already told ya you are too young for me.”

“Madmoiselle if the horse shit doesn’t want them, I would be honoured to receive such gift from you!” Awww. “Who said I didn’t want them! Thank you Missy, I will treasure them.” Hol Horse took the cookies quickly and introduced one to his mouth, making fun of Polnareff.

“Right!” Joseph stood up. “You have the afternoon free, tomorrow we will start crossing the desert so be ready!” Without more delay he grinned, shoved some money to you. 'Hol Horse the SPW will be coming to get you in an hour, be ready.” He left the room with Avdol, his cracker volleys still clacking.
“Thank God for not having to travel with this Buffon.”

“Who are you calling Buffon, Buffon?”
You ignored the absurd show of testosterone and turned to Kakyoin. “If you excuse me gentleman, Jotaro I will go to the pool. Wanna join?” Kakyoin extended his lips but nodded nonetheless, excusing himself to go change. “We aren’t done woman. You will tell me what that was about.”

“ Ah I already forgot, clumsy me.” You smiled softly. “Don’t worry Jotaro, it isn’t anything bad so if you excuse me, I gotta go to the pool.” 

-

The evening was pleasant, Jotaro joined you and after the departure of Hol Horse, Polnareff did too. The hotel was full of people, let it be foreigners or locals, and you were enjoying yourself. You even found yourself speaking to people from all around the world and, while you would usually have some reservations, the fact that you were practically in the past, on another universe or whatever made you quite confident.

It was pretty awesome and you couldn’t help but laugh at Polnareff’s flirting attempts with the ladies, staying besides Jotaro all the time to hold their attention a bit longer, even if at the beginning said man(teenager?) Kept trying to leave, some words of Polnareff actually managed to keep him there.

Marvelous move.

You yourself were speaking with another teenager, he was nice. “-really? I myself am an Egyptian! Maybe I could give you a tour around Cairo if you ever decide to go? Same with here, I am quite acquainted with the place so what do you say? Would you like to go out tonight? Like, to have a-“

“Let’s go.” Jotaro interrupted the boy. “Ah you can leave I may stay here a little bit, just tell Kakyoin.” The teenager was looking between the both of you as Jotaro sighed. “The old man wants us to have dinner in the hotel woman.”

“Do you err, know each other?” While the other guy wasn’t small by any means, Jotaro was a power house. “Ah yes, we are travelling together. Sorry bro but it seems I may not be able to have that tour, so err, yeah gotta go. See ya!” You got out of the pool with Jotaro as your shadow, the boy just waved to you and gave you his family name and room number, in case you 'wanted to visit some time'.

What a nice fella.

Jotaro tched. “What?” He didn’t answer and instead took out a cigarette frol God knows where. “He was nice, maybe I should look for him and get that tour when we reach Egypt.” Jotaro stopped walking just as you where about to enter the hotel. “Anything wrong?”

“Is this just a joke to you?”

“What?”

“Nothing bitch, but remember the actual reason for this 'trip' because I am sure it isn’t for flirting or having fun.” Okay that was rude but… he actually had a point. Holy had about 25 days left and while you were bear Egypt, Jotaro was probably worried about his mother. The fact that everyone, even Joseph, seemed to take it rather lightly was probably bothering him. As he said, this wasn’t a recreational trip. You sighed. “I do remember Jotaro, and we are going to save Miss Seiko. But I trust Me Joestar and his whole plan so if he says we can have the day free, I enjoy it. While I wasn’t flirting, the boy was quite pleasing and his knowledge of Egypt could prove useful.” You only remembered so much about Dio’s mansion and some local help, as minimal as it was, could be useful. “Believe me when I say you are going to save her. She is going to be okay and that is a promise.”

After that the ambience got lighter and you continued your traject to the room. “Wait, where are Polnareff and Kakyoin?”He blew out the smoke in his mouth. “Left earlier while you were still flirting.”

“I wasn’t.”

“Good grief, just admit it.”

“No I wasn’t, and even if I were, you yourself were quite the lady’s man today. Also, you never complain about Polnareff's flirting.” He lowered his brim. “That is different.”

“Why?”

“He is a man.”

“And? Ah no, young man don’t you dare to Yare Yare me.”

You reached the hotel room and after some more bickering, entered your room to take a quick shower and change to your beautiful, practcal and always fashionable clothes. 

The uniform. 

After getting out of the room, Joseph led the group to a restaurant near the hotel. The food was great and the ambience too, even if Polnareff wiggled his non existent eyebrows at you from time to time. Uh, weird. 

Still, life was good.
-

“Mr Joestar.” Kakyoin sounded polite, more than the usual. “I would like to know, considering you have millions of cash, why is it that you only managed to find this tiny car?” 

It was a valid question.

You were on your usual place over Jotaro’s leg, again.

Back to the old routine.

“Well, it was enough and we won’t be using it for much time after all so, why not save some money?” Ah yes, the car exchange. As the conversation progressed you didn’t have the heart to interrupt them, the deja vus weren’t letting you. “We won't travel by plane to avoid putting the passengers in danger.” That made sense, even if not many users left could actually take down a plane.

“Mr Joestar, I need to make an announcement.” Everyone but Jotaro, who was currently beneath you, looked at you.

“Oui belle?” The sun was the one bound to attack you in the desert even with all the changes  made by far. “In the desert we will encounter a stand named the sun, it well, is a sun and can shoot like lasers made of light or something.”

“I can’t even manage to doubt your prediction that with all the things we have seen.” Joseph sighed and you continued. “So I would recommend that we buy extra rations as well a lot of more water even if you actually planned to get it from the town Me Joestar. Please be extra attentive to your surroundings, the sun will be following us but I don’t know since when, at the least signal of danger please act quickly, we can’t afford loses, please. The stand is probably using a mirror so if you see any reflection, attack it.”

Smooth.

Joseoh cleared his throat.

“Well, who want to go to the supermarket?”

-

It took you about 2 hours to reach the town where Joseph woukd exchange the freaking car for the camels, from that 2 hours, about a fourth was from the time you actually spent on the supermarket. Pros where that you had bought some sunscreen lotion as well as other glasses and something to cover your head, cons were that the sun had gotten higher in the meantime.

If you were on the actual era, the roads would have been all made but at the moment the only options were either flying or the camels.

The group got down and you couldn’t help but feel bad for the animals, you just hoped that there were no casualties.

As Joseph made the exchange, you wondered.

How the hell where you even supposed to ride fucking camels.

You had ridden horses but those were different and you had had help as well as medical insurance incase anything happened. So how the fuck.

“Do any of you know hot to ride a camel?”

“Well I have in fact rode them once on a trip with my parents.”

“Non, but how difficult can it be Madmoiselle?”

“No.”

“I have, on my travels around the continent.”

Thanks Avdol. “Can you err, give me some tips?”  He hummed. “Well you gotta be easy on them and avoid being nervous, be careful and you should be fine.”

Wow, helpful.

“I also want those water bottles!” 

Time for the show.

Now, how the hell were you supposed to get on it? You would have laughed at Joseph’s failed attempts but you actually had no freaking idea. Well, fuck it. You tried to imitate Kakyoin but to your surprise, well not surprise you kind of expected it, you ended up falling.

God bless your weird immunity and the existence of shorts.

The food thing was that apparently no one had seen, to busy laughing at Joseph. The second time was actually more successful and once your initial dear had passed (there was nothing to fear, you were invulnerable after all) you joined the group. 

Being fair, the heat wasn’t actually unbearable, you had passed more heat on some Decembers so, it was actually not much. The fact that you had worn the products that you had bought was helping, a lot. 

“Are you sure you don’t want some sunscreen Polnareff?” The French, Joseph and Jotaro had refused to wear the sunscreen and while the others could be justified because their clothes covered most of their bodies, Polnareff would be having some nasty sunburn and you as hell weren’t going to help him. “Ah no, that isn’t necessary ma Cherie, I assure you I am completely fine!”

-

“Avdol?” 

“Yes Polnareff?”

“Can you err, givemeoneofyourbigclothes?” 

“What was that Polnareff? Were you just asking for something to cover yourself with? But that can’t be possible! Didn’t you say…” You could hear Kakyoin’s snicker from your place in the  back. “That you wouldn’t need one?”

“Uh-“

“If I remember correctly he said that he was completely fine Mr Joestar.”

“Indeed Kakyoin.”

“You want me to confess? Fine! Je suis desolé, I was wrong okay? Just lend me a cloth, please.” You scoffed, Avdol the mom he was,end him a cloth to cover himself.

“Merci-"

Before he could finish, Star Platinum manifested behind Jotaro, your gaze was glued to him and by the means of 2 seconds he had already launched a stone across the dunes. A crash resounded and after a small interlude, chaos ensued.

“What the fuck JoJo!”

Apparently Jotaro had Star Platinum throw a rock and he had hit the apparent mirror where the enemy user was located.

Uh, convenient.

“Did you just... Defeat him?” He shrugged. “The jerk was oblivious. He was coming from behind us and anybody could have seen that.”

“Well not anybody could so, give yourself more credit.”

“I could have.”

“I could also have Cherie.”

“Yes, I guess I could.”

“In my youth I defeated 3 Gods, this in comparison, is nothing.”

Jerks. “Well, fuck you. I couldn’t have. Not all of us have freaky super powers.” The group approached the place where the crash sounded and indeed, the enemy user was laying on the ground, he was still alive but would be having a concussion.

Well, who cares.

“Ho ho! Look at what I found!” Polnareff raised 2 six pack and you could almost swear that Kakyoin took a step backwards.

“We should take them!” 

“Mr Joestar I do-“

“Oh my God! Of course we will Polnareff!” Poor Kakyoin, well at least they were only a few beers considering the amount of people.

“Good thing we only bought a bottle of vodka.” Forget what you just said. Wasn’t there supposed to be a reasonable adult here? 

“Good grief old man.” You left the man where he was, with a bottle of water. He wasn’t in fighting conditions and he didn’t deserve to die but at the same time you couldn’t risk that he followed you so Avdol settled on calling the SPW foundation when you reached the nearest town.  You had checked his vital signs and he was alive, this time around Jotaro hadn’tsone much damage and you were grateful, even if he was an enemy, no one had to die in vain.

Dio had manipulated these people and they deserved another chance.

That or at least cover their whole life sentence.

The group resumed the journey after the small altercations and you gazed straight ahead, the sun was just about to start setting and colors were magnificent. It was just marvelous. The sky seemed surreal as the ever changing colors transitioned. 

You wanted to cry.

What were you even doing? Who were you? Who were they? None of those questions had any importance at the moment. 

The group stopped for the day and as Avdol started the fire, small stars seemed to make their appeareance in the sky, scattered all over the place providing enough light for you to see. 

“They are beautiful aren’t they ma petite chaton?” Polnareff had taken a seat besides you as you watched the night. “They look like dust, glowing dust made up by stars.” 
“Most of those stars are actually stardust.” Kakyoin had also stopped to watch the sky. A sky with no moon but enough stars. “Some of them must be thousands of light years away.” Polnareff hummed. “That they are my friend, stardust for our crusade.” 

Had he just…?

“Wait! Does that makes us the stardust crusaders?” Polnareff was probably joking but the implications of the name ran deep in your veins. Would it seem too weird if started crying?

“We aren’t calling ourselves that.” Kakyoin was scoffing. “Oh come on! It is a good name Kakyoin!” As Kakyoin and Polnareff continued bickering you saw Jotaro arch a brow.

“Stardust crusaders uh?”

You shrugged, appearing as cool as you could.“It is a cute name.”

Ahdhkabdksbska 

Holy shit.

“Good grief woman.” Jotaro’s lips lifted slightly and his gaze softened as he looked at you. “I like it.”

Chapter Text

The night was pleasant, kind of.

You went to sleep early and considering you had been riding those camels some hours, sleeping was pretty welcome. The good thing was that the sleeping bags were comfortable and the fire was warm enough to kill you to sleep. The bad thing was that you ended up sleeping on your uniform blouse and the shorts, your skirt being used as a pillow, a surprisingly good pillow.

The worst thing about the desert,  specially Saudi Arabia, was that by 5:30 am the sun was already starting to rise. You used to wake up at that hour for your classes but since your weird universe exchange/probable death/fucking awesome dream, you had been waking up later than usual and so, when an unknown hand started patting your back you just turned yourself on the sleeping bag.

“Wake up.”

Ignoring people was your passion. 

“Ma belle fleur c'est morning already.”

Holy fucking shit why can’t anyone respect the other’s sleep hours.

 “What.” As you harshly removed your head from the sleeping and opened your eyes (only to blink several times as you tried to adjust them) you spotted Kakyoin besides you, his typical look on his face.

“Avdol said it was time to wake up and start picking up our stuff.”  Behind him you could already see your local french gelling his hair. “And Mr Joestar?” He turned his head to the lump at your left, where a disgruntled Avdol was trying (and failing) to get Joseph to wake up.

Sometimes you forgot that Joseph was actually a boomer.

Wait not a boomer, actually Polnareff and Avdol were bound to become boomers if the years they were born were any indicator. Jotaro and Kakyoin were either X generation or also boomers, you didn’t really remember the years.

Shit, were you also bound to become one of those? Did that terms even exist yet?

Kakyoin cleared his throat and you returned to reality. His face was oddly red as you started to get out of the sleeping. “ I don’t mean to intrude but… don’t you have to uh...” He was looking at your skirt.

Ah.

Did he think you were going to get out semi naked? “To what Kakyoin?” You got out of the sleeping and he spotted the shorts, his expression flattening. “Nothing, nothing. If you excuse me I will retrieve my things.” You took your poor skirt and put it on.  
For having seen that many people in swimsuits, he was kind of a prude.

Cute.

You didn’t bother to make your hair and opted to wear the pretty Bandana Jotaro had gifted you, said man was just standing by his camel, lightly patting it. He must have felt your gaze because his eyes locked with your form, lightly scanning you before setting on the awkward peace sign on your hand. 

After you said your respective good mornings with the rest of the newly named stardust crusaders, you placed your things on the camel with Polnareff’s insistent help because apparently being a teenage girl equaled being 'delicate like a flower' and shit like that. You would let it pass just this time because as much as the idea hurt your honor, your laziness won.

Everyone ended up having some sort of granola bar(or at least you thought it was granola) as Kakyoin heated some water for tea, water that Polnareff used to make himself a coffee.

“Good morning everyone!”

 Apparently Avdol had succeeded in waking up Joseph and the later was almost shining, probably less tired than the rest because he had woken up about an hour later and had been offered coffee as soon as he woke up.“Uh? Why the long faces? Repeat after me! Happy! Joy-py! Nice to meet ya-ppy!” 

Is this a JoJo reference?

Dhjsbakanakdk.

Yes.

 As expected no one repeated it. “Happy! Joy-py! Nice to meet ya-ppy!” Well, no one but Polnareff. At the others' glares he tried to excuse himself. “What? It is a catchy phrase! Right chaton?”

“Well, it does have a nice ring on it.”

“Haha! I knew you wouldn’t let me down Polnareff!” Joseph had a smug grin on his face. “Let’s go! We have to cover terrain and I don’t want anyone to fall behind!” You could almost see a vein pulsing on Avdol’s forehead but after a deep (deep) breath, he let it go.

Everyone hoped on their camel way more smoothly than the day before and the trip began. 

“Time for the Stardust Crusaders to go!”
-
30 minutes.

The excitement had lasted 30 minutes before the mood decayed. No one said anything, of course, but you could feel it. Yesterday had been different because the sun wasn’t bound to rise more and the heat wasn’t unbearable, the whole fascination with the camels also helped, kind of. But now that the excitement had passed, the dunes became the rule and, even if they were beautiful, the sun made it hard to appreciate the place. Drawing wasn’t even an option because you were bound to end up with motion sickness.

Now,  that had been 4 hours ago.

“Time for some rest!” The sun was at its highest peak and you were more asleep than awake when those beautiful words took you out of your daze. “We will stop 20 minutes so do what you have to do and be quick.” He said those last words looking at the French, said man didn’t think it twice as he descended his camel to go behind some dune.

When you have to go, you have to go.

You didn’t bother to get down as you took the bottle of water from your bag, you didn’t want to have an accident and your head was already feeling fuzzy enough. You had to be careful if you wanted to avoid having a heat stroke in front of others, again.

Speaking of, it seemed that your weird ability resided in some shield covering yourself or something like that because you still felt physiological necessities and you were close to drowning at the lack of oxygen.

Made sense, now changing the topic:

Would it be wise to tell them about the other stands left?

The Judgement stand was quite easy to defeat and as long as everyone knew of the situation, it would be all right. If you were right, it would be the last stand of the Tarot cards, followed by the 9 Egyptian Gods.There was also the situation about Star’s secret ability.

Fuck.

“Alright guys, break is over.” Jospeh started to get on his camel just as Polnareff came out of his dune. “We have about another 5 hours of light and we better make use of it.” The group resumed the journey with some renewed forces after you replied the sunscreen, giving some to Kakyoin and Polnareff. “Cherie, will you uh do a gentleman a favour and pour some sunscreen on his back?”

“Oh I am sorry but Avdol hasn’t asked for sunscreen yet.” Said Avdol was lightly smiling as he observed “Why must you be so mean beautiful? Why must  roses have spines?”  Kakyoin scoffed. “Surely not for the reason you think.”

“Why Kakyoin? At least Jotaro is on my side!”

“I don’t side with idiots.”

 Polnareff’s screams were ignored for obvious reasons and the journey continued in a monotonous silence again. You couldn’t help but sing lightly to pass time.

Wait, sing? 

Compose?

If  you remained in this world you could just work as an author, either for songs or books. Had Harry Potter been written yet? The Hunger Games? You really didn’t know but those screamed money.

Hehe.

There were a lot of possibilities in the world, you could even bet on who would win the next elections, that is if the world was somewhat similar to yours. God, if you retained your weird immunity you could even work as a risk taker and earn tons of money.

Oh yes, money.
-

Some hours passed and the sun started to set. It didn’t seem like much but just riding the camels was tiring for everyone. Literally everyone. If it wasn’t for the water you would have dehydrated long ago, same with the other guys.

Avdol spotted some palms with rocks and after a general vision of it, he nodded at Joseph’s direction. “We will rest here.” Everyone descended their camel and Magician’s Red started a fire in the middle of it. Honestly the rocks were convenient because they would protect from the cold, they also provided somewhere to sit other than the sand.

 After stealing some paper from Polnareff’s bag you went to the restroom. You did miss the facilities but complaining wouldn’t get you anywhere. Even if you didn’t feel ashamed of your physiologycal needs, you just opted on catching Avdol’s eyes and raising the paper, he seemed to understand and you left.

The fight with Dio was bound to be somewhere among mid January and considering the date was December 27th, you had about 2 maybe 3 weeks left.

Shit.

You rejoined the group and to your surprise(not really) Joseph was raising a beer in his hand, laughing with Polnareff. They must have bribed Kakyoin because even if you were only gone for about 10 minutes, he was chatting happily with Jotaro, the later numbly sitting there. Avdol, had no beverage on his hand but he was also laughing about something.
Joseph spotted you. “Hey Missy! We were just waiting for you!”

“Well, here I am.” Polnareff patted the place between him and Jotaro, he was about to hand you a beer when Joseph snatched it from his hand. “Hey! Why was that Monsieur Joestar?” Joseph laughed and proceeded to take out 2 bottles of his bag. “Hoho, we won’t be needing those anymore.”

You raised an eyebrow as you sat besides Jotaro. “Err, why do you have those Mr Joestar?” Ah Kakyoin, the good student.

“Why? To play of course!” Kakyoin’s face fell as Polnareff’s brightened. Avdol sighed and Jotaro huffed. Joseph chuckled slightly.

“Now now don’t get so exited kids! Any ideas?” 

“Mr Joestar, as much as I respect you, I don’t know if inciting under age teenagers to drink is okay.” Avdol had a point but Joseph ignored him. “Oh they will be fine! At their age I had already been to prison and look at me! I am completely fine.”  

No one dared to contradict him.

Right.

“Truth or dare!”  Of course Polnareff would be the one to say that. “What about never have I ever?”  Kakyoin hummed. “I think Missy’s idea is better. I am sorry but I wouldn’t trust my integrity to Polnareff, at least not right now. Jotaro?”

“Whichever is fine.”

Joseph clapped. “Good! Then never have I ever it is, you already know the deal. At the lack of cups we will settle on just chugging it down. Avdol, my friend, last chance to play.”

Avdol politely declined and the game began. You felt nervous but in the expectant way. Jotaro must have noticed because he raised an eyebrow at you and you offered him a grin. Polnareff obviously began.  “Never have I ever… had a serious relationship!” He was looking at you and you couldn’t help but snort, fool. Only Joseph lowered his finger, drinking from the bottle.

“Oh my dear Suzie Q!” You were tempted to spill the news about Josuke but decided against it. It was your turn. “Um, never have I ever been to prison.” Jotaro, Joseph and Polnareff drank. 

Honestly you could totally rock this.
Jotaro glared at you before smirking. “Never have I ever crashed more than one plane.”

“Why you-“ Before Joseph could continue Kakyoin spoke. “Never have I ever umm broken someone’s bone?” Everyone but you drank (Avdol didn’t count.) You hummed and Jotaro scowled. “You have.” You frowned.

“Me?” He nodded. “No, I haven’t”

“Against Steely Dan.” You had? Honestly you didn’t think so but either way you were almost winning.

“Never have I ever broken some guys bones because my stand loses control.” Was Joseph getting revenge for the former statement? Probably. At its mention, Star appeared behind Jotaro and you waved at it before it was willed away.  The purple stand grinning your way before disappearing.

Nice.

“Never have I ever… kissed a boy!” Leave it to Polnareff for the dumb questions. You lowered another finger and drank. What was this, 7th grade? Kakyoin looked away and Joseph lowered his finger, almost unnoticed by everyone, everyone but you. “Ah, to be young again!”

Oh?

 “Never have I ever used a fake ID.” Only Polnareff drank and you chuckled slightly.

“Never have I ever assisted to my own funeral.” Joseph was fuming. “Why you little sh-“ He seemed to notice that you were looking at him and regained his composure. “Ehem, I would like to say that it was an accident and I had no idea about it.” 

“Kakyoin, it is your turn.” He was left in thought before sighing. “Never have I ever dyed my hair?” You lowered your finger.
“I don’t want to seem mean but you won’t win if you keep saying things that you have also made Kakyoin.” Polnareff scoffed as he passed the bottle to Jotaro, Kakyoin huffed.

“What do you mean?”

“What, you want me to believe that the red tint on your hair is actually your natural color? Come on, I am not stupid." Kakyoin scoffed. “I beg to differ if you can’t even notice that my hair is indeed real dumbass.”

“Uh? You want to fight cherry head?” Both stood up and even if their faces were kind of red tinted, they didn’t take out their stands. After what seemed like an eternity both burst out laughing.

Their laughs  were  disturbing but at the same time you couldn’t look away.

Wow.

 About a minute passed on with their laughs till they suddenly and adopted a defensive posture, their stands out. 

“I will kill you.” 

Honestly it was way too late for that kind of shit and as long as they didn’t kill each other everything was okay. They somehow crossed the camp and their forms started dancing around the place.

“What the fuck.”

“Good grief, just ignore them.” Jotaro exhaled the cigarette smoke and you made a face. “You know those may kill you right?” His frown turned slightly deeper before relaxing. “And?” You scowled. “Well dying from lung cancer is painful.” He blew smoke at your direction before giving you some sort of grimace(smile?). “Augh, gross. If you excuse I would like my lungs to remain healthy, thank you.” You moved to the left but to your surprise he also moved. 

“What.”

“What what woman.” You moved again to prove your theory and he moved yet again. “Don't follow me.”

“Are you crazy? No one is following you bitch.”

“You are.” He ignored you and exhaled in your direction again. “Stop or you will regret it.”
“What can you even do stupid.” Had he just called you stupid? You stood up to face him “Listen here you little shit-“

“Good grief, the only one that can be described as little here is you.” That was it, fuck it. You didn’t know what made you do it but you ran and tackled him from his rock. His beer fell on his shirt and his hat almost fell. “Ha! Fucker.” 

Hehehe.

He stood up and even if something inside you screamed run, you stood your ground. “Don’t be sour Jojo, the universe is just and you had it coming.” You were about to back away when he suddenly moved from his place on the ground and picked you up like a sack of potatoes. It was so fast that you didn’t even see him move till you were already rising from the ground. Almost as if he had stopped time.

ª.

What the hell.

“Jotaro, put me down.”
“Make me, bitch.”
“I am going to kick you.”
“I will drop you.”
“It won’t even hurt.”

A click got you out of your bickering. In front of you a grinning Joseph was taking photos of the scene.

 “Ah, don’t mind me I am just taking some photos of the moon, keep up what you are doing.” Jotaro put you down (more like threw you) and took a step towards Joseph. “Aww, what happened? Don’t be shy!” Jotaro took another step forward and Joseph backed away. “Jotaro, my dear grandson?” He took the next step as his cue and ran as fast as he could. 

“NIGERUNDAYO!” Jotaro sprinted after him, leaving you there.

At some point Kakyoin and Polnareff had stopped fighting, the former was currently sitting on a rock painting something on his sketchbook and the later was nowhere to be seen. “Where is Polnareff?” The red head looked at you and rolled his eyes. Ouch, rude. “Dumbass went to the restroom.” 

“Okay?” He analized you for a second before nodding and continuing whatever the fuck he was making.  You yawned as you placed your sleeping on an appropriate location. The crusaders would probably take some more time before regrouping or falling asleep, you were tired and there was no way you were waiting for them. The stand users couldn’t appear as soon, right?

Tomorrow at first hour you would tell them about the 'Hell to you' stand whose name you didn’t actually remember. At the moment the sleeping bag was calling you and there was no way you were ignoring it. 

“Good Night Kakyoin”

“Good night.”

-

Thank God that you hadn’t drank that much yesterday because currently the sun was being shitty enough. Polnareff was almost falling from his camel, only Avdol’s nudges were keeping him awake. While Kakyoin wasn’t falling from his, he was being particularly mean to everyone, specially Polnareff. 

Well, sucks to be him.

The morning was silent, even Joseph remained mostly quiet, giving everyone a pill for the hangover, they had apparently continued drinking after you fell asleep. A dumb decision, but a decision taken nonetheless.

You had told them about the user and they had all nodded, promising to be alert. The user was quite easy to defeat so there was no problem once you knew the stand's secret. 

After countless remarks of ‘no Polnareff, you cannot take advantage of the stand’ and ‘please make it quick and don’t leave him too maimed.’

You rode the camels till midday, thank God you had begun riding before sunlight, and so you could already see the town coming closer. If you weren’t wrong, this was supposed to be the place where you would have encountered the weird baby, who knows what was he up to…

Still, you just hoped that he could return to his family or find happiness somewhere else. 

As you arrived to the town, a relatively developed town, the people gave you side glances but not that much attention, it seemed that everyone was busy with their own activities. You advanced on the camels a bit more till you finally reached a somewhat large building compared to the others.

“Here we are! We will pass the night here and depart tomorrow at first hour.” Joseph descended and stretched a bit, the others soon following. The camel lowered itself(Thank God) and you descended without any altercations.

“This way.” Avdol had been speaking with a local boy, probably a staff member, and he led you to the place where the camels were going to rest. 

Now if only your back could stop hurting.

“Hurry up or we are leaving you behind!” As expected, Joseph was as fresh as a lettuce with Avdol diligently following.

Seriously, how the fuck.

At the reception, Joseph asked for 3 double rooms. Sharing again, uh? The distribution was slightly off, Joseph with Avdol, Jotaro with you, and Kakyoin with Polnareff. 

Uh, weird.

At least you could tell Jotaro about his time stop.

As you got into your room, you quickly settled on taking a bath. Jotaro had taken a seat on his bed, a magazine was in his hand. Sadly the bathroom lacked a tube but the cold water  after days of not touching a drop made up for it.

Half an hour later you exited the restroom feeling way more refreshed than what you had in days. You needed to wash your clothes so you settled on wearing the SPW shirt and the worn out shorts while you cleaned the uniform. Jotaro, who had seen you get out, just raised an eyebrow at your outfit.

You really needed new clothes.

“It is either this or the dress and I would rather wear this.”
“I didn’t ask.”
“Well, the air is free."

Jotaro sighed and lowered the brim of his hat. “The old man came 5 minutes ago.” Now it was your turn to raise the eyebrow. “Good grief, he wants us to eat with them.” 

Oh yes, food. 

“Wait, weren’t you taking a bath?” You didn’t want to look mean or anything but you sure as hell stank and the other men had it worse. He ignored you and headed for the door but not without sniffing his jacket slightly. 
“Aren’t you coming?” He was looking at the hall and almost closed the door in your face before you managed to head out.

“Jackass.” You started walking slightly faster to keep him behind and he caught up with you, that only made you walk faster and him too.

 Seriously what was his problem?

 After a small glance you took off and reached the hall almost running. “I win! The joke is on you sucker!” You made a small victory dance as you neared the entrance. “Uh? What is she talking about Jotaro?” Jotaro feigned ignorance at Polnareff’s question. It wasn’t till you neared the others when you realized that you were the only one that had taken a bath if the smell declared anything . You purposely ignored the comments about your clothes with a small glare before sighing.

Well, you would endure it for the sake of food.

-

The good thing about travelling all over the world with a group of anime characters in an anime that supposedly happens in the past was that you got to try all sorts of new of food and, thanks to Joseph’s money, you needed not to pay for anything.

It was almost like a sugar daddy without the err…sugar daddy thing.

Joseph gave you all money for “souvenirs” and left for business with Avdol, probably to buy the plane, after you all finished eating.
Which left the rest of you with nothing to do.

a.

Jotaro and Kakyoin were speaking about something as you stood there awkwardly, silently gazing at everything. If you ever woke up from the weird ass dream you weren’t sure if you would ever see a place similar to the one you were at. The French was walking slightly behind the other 2 boys.

Not even a minute passed when a group of ladies crossed the street and someone cleared their throat. “Well… as much as I enjoy your company I have stuff to do, au revoir!” Polnareff didn’t even bother to excuse himself, as if you didn’t know his true motivation for leaving. Lame. 

Besides you,  Jotaro handed Kakyoin 5 bucks discretely while he grumbled. “Good grief. Couldn’t you even wait?” The redhead just grinned widely, counting his money. “Sorry Jotaro but as they say, a light purse is a heavy curse.” 

“Fuck you.”

“I’d rather you didn’t.”

As much as you enjoyed their dynamic, you needed some new clothes and you were sure they wouldn’t appreciate if you suddenly left…right? “Hey lovebirds.” 

They turned to look at you. 

Jotakak forever.

“I am gonna buy some clothes, just so that you know…see you at the hotel.” Kakyoin blinked at you. “Ah…yes Missy. Do you want us to keep you company?” Honestly you weren’t a fan of going alone but at the same time you didn’t want to seem overly obsessive or something. “Nah, I am fine. Worry about your stinky selves, not me. See ya!” You turned just in time to avoid chuckling from seeing Jotaro discretely smell himself yet again and Kakyoin choke on air.

Cute.

The town you were staying at was small but at the same time it had one of the most advanced technologies you had seen yet, even if they didn’t compare to your actual life. The people lived discretely and even if most of the economy revolved around the airplane business, there were vital shops to keep the place running. 

You didn’t even need to walk 10 minutes before you encountered a tailor. The owners, a middle aged man and his wife, spoke rusty English to you and, after half an hour between misunderstandings, judging eyes, quick drawings, measurements and the payments, you finally exited the place.

Now that you thought about it, bringing the uniform would have been a better idea but meh.

You only hoped that your quick uniform drawings sufficed.

“Thank you, I will pick it up tomorrow at first hour.” You made the internationally known ‘thank you’ hand sign and left, ignoring the way the couple whispered after you were supposedly out of the place.

Honestly, you didn’t mind that much but it felt weird being the center of attention of the place. It wasn’t as if you stood out for, well, being you but for your clothes and your company.

Whatever.

You entered the small hotel and headed to the desk. “Excuse me?” The woman looked at you, she was probably in her 20s and had a kind smile. “Do you know where can I do my laundry?” She smiled. “Yes Miss, we have a laundry.”

“Thank you so much.” Now, where the hell was that supposed to be? The woman probably saw your hesitance because she stood up and led you to the laundry after a small detour to grab your dirty uniform.

 “Do you have visitors often?” The woman huffed as she led you. “We have visitors, mainly tourists looking to explore the area or merchants for the machines.” You nodded. “How does that work?” She lifted an eyebrow. “I mean, what does that entitle?.”  She chuckled. “Well you see…” She proceeded to explain the way the town worked, she herself was familiarised with the whole process and, as she kept you company while you washed your clothes, you heard her, interrupting her with an occasional comment.

“… but that is enough about us. What I want to know…” Ain, the woman’s name as you had learned, turned to you. “… is your story.” You sighed. “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” She lifted an eyebrow. “We have seen a lot on this town.” While it was probably true, there was no way you could just say ‘hey I probably died and woke up in an anime world’ could you? So you settled on the basics. “Well, we are on a trip to Egypt.” Wow, that sounded lame.

“A trip?”

“Yeah.”  Suddenly her eyes illuminated. “Oh! So you are on a family roadtrip?” You shrugged. “…yes.” She continued. “So, the black haired man is your husband?” 

Qhdjksbakabka.

You choked on your spit.

“Ah, no no. We are just… friends?” She eyed you suspiciously but let it go.

-

 The sun was starting to set as you entered your hotel room in your clean uniform, the clean shirt and shorts in your bag. Jotaro had probably entered the room and left, if the things in disarray said anything.

You had a small debate between staying or going with the boys. You didn’t want really felt left out but at the same time it was already 6:15 pm, the hour to annoy people.

Well, to Kakyoin’s room.

You knocked the door once and after not hearing anything, opened it.

What you didn’t expect was a semi naked Kakyoin sitting on the bed.

a.

“Holy shit.” The redhead turned to look at you, to the bathroom and himself before he clumsily covered himself with the covers. “IT IS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.”

“I didn’t even say anything!”

“Good grief what is this-“ Jotaro, who chose that specific moment to exit the bathroom in nothing but boxers froze and slowly closed the door. “Oh no, you don’t!” Kakyoin had Hierophant sneak and try to open the door against the resistance, eventually succeeding as you just stood there.

“Seriously guys, I don’t have any problems, I support-“

Just in cue, Polnareff reopened the hotel’s door. You wondered what scene did you make with you standing in the middle of the room, Kakyoin on the bed, seminaked and red to his ears and Jotaro trying (and failing) to open the bathroom’s door, also seminaked.

“Mon Amies! I just faced the stand us- WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING HERE?!”

“WHATEVER YOU ARE THINKING IT ISN'T THAT wait, what stand user?”

“Good grief.”

Holy shit, indeed.
