Chapter seventy-nine: The killer
(Y/n) finished the interview with Rohan, the mangaka was very interested in Avalon. The stand was not as excited with meeting the mangaka. The mangaka was not very happy to see Josuke approach after the interview. The tiny pillar was hanging onto her father turned stand when her stepbrother arrived. Josuke was challenging Rohan to a game. The pompadour sporting teen shooed the plum haired pillar away from him, "Hey, Santana is coming back, right? Why not go greet him?" Her tiny face lit up, that was right, Santana was coming back! She had to go greet Santana! The tiny girl nodded and ran off. Joyously skipping and spinning around in a happy manner, not caring about other troubles. She was getting Santana back! Her little feet tapped on the sidewalk as she ran, getting closer to the drop off point that Santana would be at.
She was so happy to be able to see the last other pillar. She saw the taxi car and a cloaked figure get out. The figure paid the taxi driver and picked up a box that he had with him. "SANTANA!," the little girl yelled put before jumping onto the huge man. Her tiny body clung to his large one. Santana's scarlet eyes looked down at the tiny girl on his chest. "I was only gone one day.," the man said, "I would have been back sooner, but I was needed for a few other things."
Santana let the small girl climb up onto his shoulder as he walked to the hotel and walked in, he was greeted by the staff he was familiar with. He gave them a polite bow and walked back to his room with the child hanging on his shoulder. The large pillar man unlocked the door and went in. He let the child off of his shoulder and had her sit on one of the couches next to the coffee table. "I'm sorry that I did not get back sooner. But I was able to get something for you.," the vermillion haired pillar man said. He set the box down on the coffee table and opened the top as she leaned forward to look in the box. It was assorted treats. "I remembered what I liked when we went out to try some human food and desserts, I thought it might be a good treat.," the vermillion haired man spoke with his usual soft tone.
He took the treats and laid them out. Some traditional wagashi, some donuts and a small roll cake. "The humans at the Tokyo branch gave me some suggestions when we got them.," Santana said and popped one of the treats into his mouth. (Y/n)'s little hands reached for the rabbit shaped rice cake she saw, it was cute. Avalon's wings faded in and carefully picked up the cake before giving it to the child and disappearing. "You're getting better with your stand.," Santana commented and yawned, "I'm glad." The tiny pillar child tilted her head at her guardian, he was getting sleepy. "Santana, do you need to sleep?," the little girl asked. "I can stay awa-," he began but was interrupted by his own yawn. (Y/n)'s little red eyes looked at him as she nibbled the little bunny shaped rice cake. It was soft once her little teeth sank into it. It also had some sweet paste in the middle of it.
"We can sleep for a while. I don't think I've slept well for a while. Only a night at a time.," the child spoke. "Living around humans must have done that to you. You're still growing, you need your sleep.," Santana said and got up to brush his teeth and get ready for bed, "We'll sleep for a few days then wake up. If Jotaro needs us, he can come wake us up." (Y/n) put the other sweets into the mini fridge after she finished her rice cake and went to brush her teeth. The small girl brushed her teeth then her hair, her little doll was in her arms as she did so. The doll she treasured so much. She was feeling a little sleepy too. Who knew that having a stand would use so much energy? She got up onto the bed and snuggled Santana's big warm torso. His already sleeping face got a little softer in expression after feeling the other .
She fell asleep soon after She snuggled Santana. They would get all the rest they needed. When they woke, they would have more treats to have. They could even share the treats with their friends. The covers were pulled over the two sleeping pillars, Ivory had come to see them. A smile was on her sweet face, she wanted to speak to her child again and see Santana. Yet she came at a bad time. "Oh well. Maybe next time.," the woman smiled, "I can always go see one of the other stand users in this town." Her ivy green eyes shined as she disappeared.
Still as stone. The two slept. Santana had held the small child in an embrace of both care and protection. The little girl held her doll that she treasured, the doll she had received over one hundred years ago. Neither knew exactly what was going on outside of their little realm of sleep. What the others were doing. The fights Josuke had gone through. What horrible things and wonderful things that went on in the city if Morioh. All they had was each other in this time. Days passed with them sleeping and they finally awoke, Santana was up first. Kakyoin was at the door, Knocking to tell Santana what happened over the course of the days he and (y/n) were asleep. The vermillion haired pillar was not so pleased to see a human while he was still a little sleepy. But he did not attack Kakyoin. He waved Kakyoin in and brought out the treats that he had purchased, he offered them to Kakyoin as a courtesy. Kakyoin took a peach shaped treat and thanked Santana. The vermillion haired pillar man held the still drowsy (y/n) as she nuzzled his chest.
"Rohan feels like he is getting close, he found a boy that he thinks can help us find Kira.," the red haired Japanese man said with a smile, "His name is Hayato Kawajiri. He goes to the local elementary school." "Hayato?," the plum haired girl asked in a sleepy voice, "I met him before. He seemed a little lonely, like you were when you were a child, Noriyaki." Kakyoin looked to his old friend, "You've been exploring this city quite a bit, so I'm not surprised that you met him." The red haired Japanese man finished the treat he was given and stood, "I'll be going now, take care, Santana, (y/n)." "Bye bye, Noriaki!," the tiny pillar chirped back to her human friend. The redhead left and Santana let out a huff. He was grumpy from still being sleepy. He felt little hands on his cheeks and a pull, his scarlet eyes went down to the child in his arms.
(Y/n) and Santana enjoyed some more sweets with some tea. The little plum haired pillar girl's sharp little teeth sank into the cream filled bun she chose. It tasted so good! "Is it good?," Santana asked with a small smile, "You look like you are enjoying it." Her little red eyes looked up to his and then back down at the cream filled bun she was eating, she held it up for Santana to try. He took a bite of it, "It's sweet." (Y/n) smiled up at him, "Like you!" This made Santana smile more, "No. You're the sweet one." "I personally think both of you are rather sweet.," a female voice spoke and the two looked up to see Ivory sitting on one of the cushioned chairs in front of them, "My. The world has changed so much since my era, I'm kind of sad that I won't be able to enjoy this luxury."
"Mama!," the little plum haired pillar child chirped and got a smile from her mother. "Lady Ivory...," Santana spoke, "You've come to us." "Of course I did. I felt like I have to come check on my darling daughter and adorable Santana.," the woman tittered joyously, "Imagine my pleasant surprise to find the two of you snuggled up together like you did when she was an infant." Ivory's green eyes sparkled with motherly affection. Santana looked away from the woman, the child in his lap looked up to see what was wrong. "Why have you come, lady Ivory?," Santana asked. "Huh? Why can't I come to visit you two?," Ivory asked. "Mama. Are you here to see my stand?," (y/n) asked, "To see papa?" Ivory looked at her daughter, "Was it that obvious?"
"No. I just guessed.," the little girl said and looked to the side as her stand came out. Ivory stood and came closer before hugging the stand, "Kars! I missed you! I love love love you!" Avalon looked to his user then to the woman hugging him before he wrapped his wings around the woman carefully, "Ivory... you're here." "I've always been there. Watching you and (y/n).," the brunette answered the stand and kissed his cheek. "Ivory. My soul fused with her stand. My body is still in space.," the stand spoke to the woman, "I am Avalon now." (Y/n) took another rice cake as her mother and father talked. She learned that Esidisi had been staying at Okuyasu's house to mess with him and his dad. The little girl finished her rice cake and tea. She stretched her little arms and legs and let out a big yawn before hopping off of her Guard's lap.
Ivory was still hugging Avalon's neck, "Are we going somewhere?" "I'm going to go see Josuke!," (y/n) chirped to her mother. Santana boxed up the rest of the treats and gave it to her, "Share these." "Okay!," the little plum haired girl said and took the box before leaving the room and the hotel. Her mother and stand followed her. Her tiny arms were occupied by a big box of sweets. The child was unencumbered by the box. The plum haired girl went right to the high school to find Josuke. She carried the box in her little arms up the stairs. Some students watched and offered to help, but their help was declined.
The plum haired pillar girl climbed up to the floor where she knew Josuke would be and sat outside of the door to the classroom to wait for class to be over. The child waited until it was time for the break period. She had Avalon open the door so she could walk in the room, "Josuke!" The pompadour sporting teen saw his little stepsister walking towards him with a box almost as big as her. The box had a label of a high end Sweet shop on it. The teen boy knelt down and took the box from her before giving her a hug with one arm, "What's this? Did you go on a trip to get some treats?" "Santana got them.," the little girl replied, "He wanted me to share them with you and other friends." Okuyasu's interest was piqued, "Oi, Can we check out what's in the box?" "It's got wagashi and other things!," the little girl piped up. She saw the student that helped her before and took one of the treats to the girl to give as a thank you. The teen girl took it and the plum haired child went back to her stepbrother.
"Wow, these are pretty cute. I think sharing them with friends is a great idea!," Josuke smiled. "We can have coffee or tea with them as well!," Okuyasu grinned, "I think Yukako and Koichi have some." (Y/n) was happy to see Josuke and Okuyasu happy. It was nice. She was looking forward to giving out treats to friends that Josuke and Okuyasu have made. "I think Shigechi might like one, too.," the small pillar girl said. Josuke's violet Blue eyes looked at her and he nodded, "I think so. We can go visit him after school." (Y/n) gave them a big grin and helped them pick out a treat to have with their lunch.
After school, they went around let the tiny pillar share the treats she had with their friends. Their old friends and some new ones they had made when (y/n) was asleep with Santana. Lastly, they went to the hospital to give Shigechi his treat. The boy was very grateful for the kindness, as was his parents who was visiting him. When they were leaving, (y/n) saw a Speedwagon foundation car pull up and one of the prosthetic specialists got out. The man looked to the little girl and tipped his hat before walking into the hospital. "Hey, (y/n)... what was that?," Josuke asked. "I called in a favor from an old friend's legacy.," the little girl smiled, "An old friend and a crazy man's legacy." The little girl went home with Josuke and got to see Tomoko and Iggy again.
The dog wagged his little tail at the girl and she gave him some gum. Josuke gave Tomoko the treat that was reserved for her. Tomoko asked where they got such lovely treats, (y/n) told her that they were a gift from Santana. Tomoko smiled and took the last treat, "That's very kind of him. Of both of you." The tiny girl helped Josuke with his homework and kept him company while he got ready for bed after eating dinner. She laid on his chest and listed to his heartbeat until morning. He was sleeping unusually hard. The girl heard the phone ring and Tomoko call out, "Josuke! Can you get that?" The teen woke up after hearing his mother call for him. He picked up the phone and listened before he hung up, "Strange..."
"Josuke!," He heard the tiny voice of his stepsister call him, "Get ready for school! Santana is going to join us today!" The teen got ready quickly and walked down the street with his stepsister and the Dog beside him. He had another reason for getting ready so fast, he had to meet up with his friends and Jotaro to meet Hayato. The teen and his sister came across a man that was about to slap a child before he stopped and laughed. The name that the man called himself caught the attention of the stand users....
Yoshikage Kira.
