Chapter Text
It was supposed to be a normal day, really. After all that chaos, a casual Sunday morning at his house playing video games was just what he needed. his mom was out for work during the week which left Josuke all alone. And since he didn’t have any plans...
Here he was, playing Oh, That’s a Baseball! when he heard a crack.
Of course, he thought nothing of it. Baseballs hitting a baseball bat made a crack noise, so nothing to be suspicious of, right? Well, there was something weird with the timing. Sure, he was swinging the bat, but the crack came a full second before the ball actually hit. Maybe it was a glitch? But then how would the game know he would hit?
Whatever, it was nothing to be worried about.
Turns out there was something to worry about however, because a few seconds later, his head was spinning. He saw his vision start to blur and he felt lightheaded. He stood up on his feet and grabbed the couch for balance as black dots started to fill his vision.
Suddenly, he felt a dull throb at the side of his head. Had he been hit? But that was impossible, his doors were locked, and he would’ve at least sensed something. Well, there was no time for thinking about how he got into this situation, he needed to figure out how to get out. As he got up to walk to the kitchen, he found that he couldn’t see anything. His vision was too blurry, and the black dots were obscuring almost everything.
When his vision finally cleared, he suddenly realized that he wasn’t at his house anymore. Though, he was at a house, a big house actually. Was it just him or did it look like the one Koichi got kidnapped to...? That thought was quickly torn away when he felt a sharp pain in his eyes. And his vision blurred once more.
No- No shit. Not again, I have to escape, I have to get out-
“ Took you long enough.”
What?
“ I guess you’re wondering where you are right now, huh? Well, I’m sure you recognize it, don’t you?”
“...”
“What, you’re not gonna talk to me? Fine then, I hope you like your senses being... painfully taken away. ”
Another sharp pain in his eyes, a lot worse than before. Slowly, his vision became even more clouded until he could only make out blobs of colors. He let out a sad whimper.
“There we go! Now that wasn’t too hard, now was it?”
Josuke finally looked up at his captor, his vision clearing but not fully. From the voice and look of this person, all Josuke could deduce that this was a man.
“What do you want from me?” Josuke said a little weaker than he liked.
“Well, if you must know, you’ve caused me a lot of trouble. I also planned on getting someone else, so that you won’t be so lonely when you die, but for now I have to keep an eye on you at all times.”
“You didn’t answer my question.”
“Impatient, are we? Fine. Your death would make me a lot of money, but once you’re out of the way, I can continue on with my plans. You’ve meddled with them before; you won’t do it again.”
Josuke didn’t know what he was going on about, but he figured that this was trouble. He tried to stand up.
“Oh no you don’t.” The man clicked his tongue playfully. “You need to suffer first, and I want to enjoy every minute of it.” He grabbed Josuke by the collar of his shirt and dragged him out of the house. Josuke felt himself go across steps; it wasn’t fun in the slightest. When he looked at the house he had been captured in, he knew why he recognized it.
This IS the house where Yukako captured Koichi! If I’m right, there should be a payphone around here somewhere. Josuke looked around until he spotted it. While he may not be able to use his stand to fight back, he can use it to help him escape. As soon as his captor let his grip slip, even for the shortest moment, he summoned Crazy Diamond in his arms for extra strength to fully break free. He’d have to thank Jotaro for teaching him that trick later. Once free, he summoned his stand in his legs and ran.
“So, you know how to enhance your own strengths, interesting. That’ll only make your death the better, a cocky prick like you with extra strength, brought down to Earth and eventually to hell. Oh how fun this will be.”
He was almost at the payphone! If he could just get there in time, if he could dial somebody’s number, anyone’s, even Rohan’s- He reached the booth and searched his pockets. Thank his lucky stars, he had extra change in them!
Just as he pressed the call button, it all went black.
