A Connection
" Hey, you! "
Everyone turned towards the police officer wondering what was wrong. We were able to get off the tiny boat and walk around Singapore. We were looking for the hotel we were going to stay at when the police officer yelled at us. Specifically Polnareff.
" You! You threw this trash, didn't you? That's a fine of 500 Singapore dollars. "
" What? 500? " Polnareff asked looking confused.
I noticed a sign with the law on it and pointed to it.
" In Singapore, the law says you will be fined for littering. That about 40,000 yen. " I told everyone.
" Trash? "
The officer pointed down to the bag Polnareff had at his feet and I felt like laughing.
" I don't see anything here besides my own luggage. Would you be so kind as to tell me what trash you're referring to? "
The officer realized his mistake and took a step back but Polnareff was not having it. He stepped forward and grabbed the officer's shoulder.
" Where is the trash, sir? "
" That's your luggage? "
" That's right. "
" I'm terribly sorry. "
I leaned against Avdol as we both burst out laughing. It was so funny that I didn't even notice the smaller voice laughing beside me. When I stopped laughing I heard it and turned towards the voice to see Anne standing beside me. Everyone took notice of Anne's presence and she stopped laughing realizing that we saw she was still with us.
" What's with the kid? She's still following us. " Polnareff said letting the officer go.
" Hey, weren't you going to go see your father? " Joseph asked stepping towards me and Anne.
" Why don't you stop following us and get going? " Polnareff stated
" I'm meeting up with him in five days. I can go wherever I want. I'm not taking orders from you guys. "
Kakyoin stood beside me and I watched her eyes. They trailed to a certain JoJo that didn't seem to be making the same eye contact. I connected the dots and a light bulb lit up in my head.
" She'll be in danger if she stays with us. " Avdol said
" Maybe she doesn't have any money? " Kakyoin said.
I grabbed Kakyoin's arm and pulled him down towards the ground. he leaned down and I started whispering in his ear.
" She's following us because she has a little thing for JoJo. She was looking at him earlier when Polnareff told her to stop following. That's why she's still with us. "
I let go of Kakyoin and he looked at me and then to Anne. He saw where her eyes led and I could see the light bulb go off in his head. He nodded at me and put an arm around my shoulder.
" Great observation. "
" I'm just that good, Kakyoin. "
" All right, I guess we can pay for her hotel room. Polnareff, bring her but don't hurt her pride. "
" Got it. "
Polanreff walked up to Anne and Kakyoin and I was waiting to see what happens. We knew it would either make us laugh or be filled with giggles. His arm was still around my shoulder as we watched.
" Hey! You're poor, right? We'll pay for you, so come with us. It's your lucky day freeloader. "
Anne didn't seem amused and Avdol held his chuckle in but Kakyoin and I laughed hiding our smiles behind our hands. We walked to the hotel to check-in and Kakyoin stayed close to me. It felt normal until JoJo broke the silence.
" Seriously, why is your arm always around her? "
" Got a problem with it, do you, JoJo? "
" No, just quit acting like a couple already. It's disgusting. "
I smiled at JoJo's comment and shrugged my shoulders.
" I would consider myself lucky then. Kakyoin here has a good sense of humor. "
I looked at Kakyoin to see him still smiling but he had a cloud of red dust across his cheeks. I passed it off as nothing and we all walked into the hotel to check-in. Joseph ran to get the keys and he came back with four-room keys.
" Alright, we're going to have to share rooms. Avdol and I will share one room. "
" Jotaro and I will share a room since we're both students. " Kakyoin replied.
" I guess Anne and I will share-Woah! "
Anne had tugged your hand and pulled you down to the floor. You caught yourself by putting your hand on the floor. Anne started whispering in your ear. You sighed at her request and looked towards the two high schoolers.
" Kakyoin would you mind rooming with me instead? Anne said she feels safer with Jotaro and she flat out refuses to room with Polnareff. "
" I'm okay with that, Jotaro? "
JoJo only shrugged and took his key. He looked back at me and his eyes read an emotion that I've seen before. I didn't want to believe it.
" Don't do anything funny. "
" JoJo, just go to your room. If I remember you were the one who kissed me without consent. "
He rolled his eyes and ke[t walking with Anne at his side. Kakyoin grabbed our room key and we started heading towards our room. We rode the elevator and made fun of the elevator music. When we found our room door he unlocked it and we walked inside. There were two beds, a bathroom, a fridge, and a TV. I walked further into the room and sat down on the bed. It was soft and I felt the waves of sleep try to take over. Kakyoin sat on the bed next to mine and I looked over at him.
" Kakyoin, Hierophant Green, can you pull him out? "
" Umm, sure. Why? "
Hierophant Green appeared and came closer towards me.
" I never really got to see Hierophant Green unless we were fighting. I want to observe him. "
Gold Spirit came out as well and sat beside me. Kakyoin was sitting in front of me on his bed and Hierophant Green was floating in front of me. He booped my forehead with his finger and then moved to Gold Spirit. I rubbed the spot his finger touched and looked towards Kakyoin who had a small smile on his face. I looked at Gold Spirit and Hierophant Green. They both raised their hands up and let their palms touch. It was like a Tarzan moment. I looked at Kakyoin and he just shrugged but that red dust came back to his cheeks.
" What are they doing? "
" I think they're trying to understand each other. "
" Is that what you do to understand one another? "
" Let's try. "
Kakyoin held his hand out with his palm facing me. I raised my hand and pressed it against his. His hand was bigger than mine, but his palm was warm.
" Your hand is warm. "
" And yours is small. "
Gold Spirit looked at me and a smile appeared on her pale face. She disappeared with Hierophant Green and it was just Kakyoin and me. Our palms were still touching and neither one of us pulled away.
" That was interesting. "
" It was. But It's nice, to do this I guess. "
I looked at Kakyoin and our eyes met instantly. His violet eyes met my E/c eyes and they were warm. I didn't notice Kakyoin move his hand, but he did. He moved his hand to lock our hands together. One of his fingers was between mine and he kept a slight grip on our hands. The same dust that was on his cheeks appeared on mine and I could tell because I felt a slight heat.
" Y/n-"
The phone rang interrupting Kakyoing and I let go of his hand to pick it up. It wasn't anything to worry about, it was just Joseph checking on us and telling us to come to his room. He said Polnareff encountered a stand and that he defeated it. I told Kakyoin and we left the room and started heading for Joseph's. It was silent between Kakyoin and me but it wasn't uncomfortable. We met Jotaro on the way and we walked into Avdol's room that he shared with Joseph. We waited for Polnareff. When he finally came he was very bloody.
" Pol! "
I ran towards him and walked further inside. I brought out Gold Spirit and we started healing him. It took a lot of energy but when he was fully healed he laid against the bed and tried going to sleep. But he didn't have the chance because the cops had come to take him away. I shook my head and realized that the stand user's body was probably still in his room. With nothing else for us to discuss we all left. Joseph stopped me before I could leave and kept me behind. I watched as Joseph got on the floor with his hands on the TV. His stand, Hermit Purple, was laced around his fingers and entering the TV.
" Y/n I am about to let my stand surf through the channels to find words. These words will make a sentence and hopefully track down Dio. I wanted you to be here for this because you have a great memory. "
" Alright. "
I watched as the channels changed. Nothing useful was coming out and it looked like the TV had a mind of its own. Finally, we could see a blue swirl coming together. Images started going by creating a sentence.
" There is a..."
We waited a little longer and the next phrase came up.
" ...traitor whose among us all. There is a traitor among us all. Who in our group would betray us? "
The next words came up and Avdol said them before I could.
" Kakyoin beware of him. Dio's loyal servant. That's impossible. Kakyoin is Dio's servant? "
The screen changed and it was static. Among the static came a clear figure and it was Dio's figure. His back was to us but you could tell it was him, the Joestar birthmark was on his lower neck.
" This is..."
" Joestar you bastard. You're watching me. With Magician's Red and my bride by your side. Well, watch this. "
He pointed at the screen and we all moved back. It blew up right in front of us. I was shocked by what the TV said and Dio's words stayed in my mind.
' My bride. '
