Returning
The Stardust Crusaders were wandering around asking people if they had seen the mansion they were looking for. They never received a positive response or any information about the house at all. But, there was one person from the group missing. The one person was you. Once D'Arby was defeated they went to a hotel to stay at, they grouped together so one person could watch their surroundings and the other could sleep. You roomed with Jotaro and took the first watch. But when you woke Jotaro to take watch, you didn't expect to be left alone in the morning.
" Where did everyone go? "
You sat up in the bed, in a coughing fit. When the coughing subsided you spotted a note on the tableside. You picked it up and read over the note carefully.
Y/n,
We left you in the hotel room so you could rest and get over your fever. When your fever breaks you can come and find us, but until then stay in the hotel room. There's a member of the Speedwagon Foundation that was stationed in Cairo watching over the room to make sure no one will disturb you. We will be back tonight to check on you. There's medicine on the dresser for you to take. We are going to be asking around and try and find the manor in the picture. Rest well.
Joseph Joestar
" That jerk. He knows I would have left the room so he put someone there to make sure I rest easy. "
I crumpled the note and threw it into the trash can. I stood from the bed and walked to the dresser to see the medicine he left. I grabbed the medicine and threw it on the bed. I walked into the bathroom and slipped out of the hotel pajamas and went into the shower. I took my time and let the water relax my shoulders. I turned the water off and walked out of the shower, and put my regular clothes on. I dried my hair and walked back into the bedroom to see food waiting for me on the bed. I sat down and started eating what the Speedwagon Foundation Member brought me. When everything was gone I took the medicine and set the rest of it aside.
' There's not much for me to do in here. I might just go back to sleep. '
Before I went to sleep I went back to the bathroom and grabbed a small white towel. I poured cold water all over it and squeezed out the water. I walked back to the bed and laid down on the soft bed sheets. I put the cold towel on my forehead and closed my eyes. Sleep took me away instantly and I was taken into a dream.
(In the Dream)
I looked around my surroundings and I was in front of the Joestar manor from the late 1880s. The manor looked like it was never burned down in the first place.
' If I remember, it was burned down. Jonathan turned the place into an infurno to kill Dio, but it didn't work. '
I started making my way to the front door, and when I reached the steps I heard barking. I looked over to the side and saw Danny running towards me. I smiled and kneeled to the ground, hugging Danny. He licked my face, and he seemed happy to see me. I stood up and wiped the slobber off my face. I made my way up the steps and I grabbed the door handles. I opened the doors and walked into the manor. It was quiet inside and I could see maids and butlers cleaning around the room.
" Y/n! "
I looked up at the top of the grand staircase and saw Jonathan. He walked down the staircase and when he reached me, he enveloped me in a hug.
" Jonathan? "
" Yes, my little protector. "
" Hey, you're just above average height. "
" But you're still little to me.
" Shut up, JoJo. " I said hugging him before pulling away.
" JoJo, stop smothering her. You're suffocating her at this point. " A new voice said.
I looked around Jonathan and saw Dio approaching us. The book he had in his hands, was placed on a little table. Jonathan took a small step back and Dio gently grabbed my hand, laying a kiss on the knuckles. He let go of my hand and I observed the two men in front of me. They didn't act like or seem like they were going to kill each other.
" Are you two okay? "
" We're fine, Y/n. Why do you ask? " Jonathan answered.
" I thought you two had a long time rivalry or some sibling hatred. "
" We do? "
" Y/n, where have you been to make you think that? " Dio asked.
" I. . .don't know. "
" What are we going to do with you. Come, dinner is ready. "
Dio walked to my left and held my hand, while Jonathan went to my other side and held that hand. Jonathan's smile was bright and warm while Dio's was warm and calm. The two were always opposites. Jonathan did have a lot of energy and he was a gentleman who followed his heart and did what was right. Dio was a very mature and composed gentleman who observed everything and found a fondness in silence. Two opposites. The two walked with me to the dining room, and they both opened one of the doors for me. I walked through, but when I did the scenery changed. I wasn't in the Joestar manor anymore. I found myself on Air Supplena Island in Venice, Italy, alone.
" What? "
" Come back here, JoJo! "
" Come on, Caesarrino it was just a small trick! "
I heard footsteps running toward me and two figures ran around the corner of the main building. I recognized the figures as Joseph and Caesar. Joseph was younger and he didn't have a gray hair on him. His eyes spotted me, and his smile widened.
" Y/n! Save me! You're my protector! "
Joseph ran behind me and held on to my shoulders. Caesar stood in front of me and glared at the male behind me.
" Don't hide behind, mi amore! Defend yourself! "
" Maybe later! "
" Joestar! "
" What's going on? " I asked.
" JoJo cheated in another game of poker! I saw him cheat when dealing the cards! "
" How is it cheating when you're also cheating!? You still wear those shoes that have mirrors on them! " Joseph yelled and grabbed Caesar's foot for proof.
I hit Joseph's hand and he let go of Caesar's foot.
" Stop fighting you two. Joseph don't make me tell Erina. "
" Not Granny Erina! "
' He's afraid of nothing but Erina. '
I felt an arm around my shoulders and they pulled me into a side hug. I looked over at Caesar who was hugging me and pulling me in the hug. He was smiling a calm and loving smile at me, with his eyes shining above the purple triangles under his eyes.
" Hey! Let her go you pasta noodle! "
I was pulled out of Caesar's embrace and pulled into Joseph's. He had me pressed to his chest, with one hand, and with the other, he pointed at Caesar.
" Watch it, you Italian smooth talker! She prefers me over you anyway. "
" What was that Joestar? "
" You heard me. She likes me more than you, it's a proven fact. "
" That's a lie, and you know it you cheating son of a-"
" I think it's time we go! "
" JoJo! " I screamed.
I felt my body being lifted off the ground. Joseph picked me up and placed me on his shoulder. Joseph started running with one hand on me to make sure I didn't fall.
" Amore! Joestar get back here!"
Caesar started chasing after us, and while they were running I looked around the area. I looked at the dock and saw eight people walking off the dock. I knew who they were in an instant. It was Erina, Lisa Lisa, Smokey, Von Stroheim, Loggs, Meshina, Suzie Q, and Speedwagon. They were all smiling and conversing with one another. I looked at Erina and she had a smile on her face and her eyes were bright. When I looked at Speedwagon our eyes connected and his smile grew. He raised a hand up in the air and yelled,
" Good to see you lass! "
" Speedwagon. . ."
I blinked and the scene changed. I wasn't in Venice, Italy anymore. I was sitting at the small pond outside of the Kujo household. There were small fish swimming around in the pond, and it was calming.
" Why the hell are you here? "
I looked behind myself and saw Jotaro approaching. He stepped off the house platform and walked towards me. He took a seat in the grass beside me and looked at the pond.
" Just. . .thinking? "
" You don't know what you were doing? "
" Yes? "
" Good grief. "
It was silent after that and I turned back to the pond and watched the fish continue to swim around. They were playing with one another and when they calmed down they just stared at each other.
" Hey, you two. Mind if I join? "
I looked, once again, behind me and Kakyoin was standing behind us. I nodded and he took the open seat on my other side. It was calming just sitting there and watching the fish. There was nothing special about them, but it gave us something to do. The sky was clear except for a few clouds, but it was a beautiful day with a perfect temperature.
" You know, I don't think this day could get any better. Everything's perfect. " Kakyoin said smiling at me through his red noodle.
" Yeah, everything is so calm, and at peace. "
" Makes you wonder why people do what they do and not live like this."
" Don't you agree JoJo? " I asked.
" Yeah. "
I felt my hand being held and I looked down to see Jotaro holding one hand and Kakyoin holding the other. The wind blew by and blew through my hair and letting the cherry blossoms fall. They covered my vision and I could feel my body start to wake up.
(Out of the Dream)
I opened my eyes and looked around the hotel room. The sun was lower in the sky now, and it looked like it would be setting in a couple of hours. I didn't feel sick anymore and I didn't feel as warm as I did falling asleep.
" Did I sleep that long? "
I took the covers away from my legs and put my head in my hands.
" What a dream. "
I heard the door handle being twisted, and I looked up at the door. When it opened I spotted Joseph walking into the room with Avdol.
" How are you feeling, Y/n"
" I'm feeling much better. It seems I've slept for most of the day. I skipped lunch and dinner. "
" Well, we'll get you some food to eat. The point is you're better now. "
" Thanks, Joseph. Where is everyone else? "
" They're conversing with an old friend. " Avdol said with a smile.
" Oh? Who is it? "
" You're going to find out. We'll go grab them. "
Avdol and Joseph walked out of the room, leaving me alone. I waited in the room for the old friend to come in. I kept thinking about the dream, and how I visited every generation. It made me feel nostalgic.
' It makes sense I would dream of everyone. We're about to fight Dio. '
The door opened and I turned around to see who walked through the doorway. I smiled at seeing the cherry man in front of me. His eyes looked undamaged except for two red lines on his skin on the top and underneath his eyes. He was smiling at me and his Lavender eyes were focused on me.
" Kakyoin! "
I jumped at him and hugged him. He hugged me back, and he laughed. His arms wrapped around my waist and hugged me to him.
" Did you just get back? How are your eyes?"
" Yeah, after patching up Iggy, he led me to the others. They said you were sick and that they left you in a hotel to rest. My eyes are fine. I can see everything with perfect vision, thanks to you and the doctors at the Speedwagon Foundation."
" Iggy got hurt? "
" One of Dio's minions found him. It was an animal stand user. "
" I see. "
" He's fully on our side now, and he knows where Dio's mansion is. He's going to lead us there after we leave here. Joseph said that we would come get you and go. "
" Sounds fine with me, but I'm starving. "
" Joseph did say you skipped lunch and dinner. That's not good for you, my sweet. I'll go grab you some food and then you can eat in here. We'll go after that. "
" Sounds good, we have plenty of time before the sun sets anyway. It's not even touching the horizon. "
" I'll be right back, my sweet. "
Kakyoin squeezed me in a hug once more before leaving the hotel room. When he shut the door behind him, my smile didn't fade. It remained stuck to my face.
' I'm glad Kakyoin is back and his eyes are better. '
I sighed, feeling my shoulders still relaxed, and I was going to sit on the bed when I felt a pain on the back of my head.
" What the. . ."
I turned around, but I didn't see anyone behind me. My vision was hazy, but I stood on my feet. Gold Spirit came out, ready to defend me.
" I'm sorry my Lady. " A new voice said behind me.
Then, all I could see was black.
