Santana did not let the little girl leave his side for almost a week. He was scared something else would happen to her. But, during that time, they were able to talk to each other about different topics. Be the topics consist of fears to insecurities and hopes for the future. The vermillion haired man listened to the child as she talked to him. He, in return, gave her some stories that he remembered from the old days. The training, him sparring with Wamuu, silly things Esidisi did. He even told her about her mother, Ivory, a kind and pretty human woman. His face held a small smile as he regaled the child with stories of the past.
(Y/n) in turn gave him some stories of the people she met. Their stories were interrupted by a knock at the door. Santana got up and motioned for the child to stay on the bed. The scarlet eyed pillar opened the door to the hotel room he was in. On the other side was a blonde man. "Ciao, Santana. All of us are going to a restaurant tonight, Joseph wanted to know if you wanted to come.," the voice of Caesar spoke. The little plum haired girl leaned to try to see her old Italian friend.

Caesar had the same idea as he leaned to look past Santana. He could see Santana's ribs move under his shirt as he tried to get a look at the girl. The blonde Italian moved back quickly as some ribs shot out as a warning, he knew Santana was just giving a warning. This time at least. He was very serious about his role of guarding the young half pillar. The green eyed Italian got the message, "We'll all be there, she'll be safe. You don't have to keep her on house arrest." Caesar had his hands up to show that he had no violent intentions. Santana's scarlet eyes carefully watched the man he knew as one of the few who could kill him and the girl, he was contemplating on what he should do.
The green eyed Italian watched the man before him, the pillar known for his violent abilities. Santana broke eye contact with Caesar to look back to the child, "Lady (y/n), the humans are inviting us to join them." The child nodded, "It would be nice to go out." The vermillion haired man looked back to the blond man, "We will come." "Better get ready, we're leaving soon. We're heading to a restaurant that Kakyoin found.," the Italian spoke, "The sun will set soon, then you can come without the protective gear." The pillar man gave a small and slow nod to the Hamon user before him.

(Y/n) heard the door close and she took a brush out of her bag to brush her hair with, she brushed Santana's hair as well and helped him choose a nice outfit out from the ones he had. The tiny pillar girl polished up her and her Guardian's jewelry before they put on the traditional adornments. Santana placed her on his shoulder after they left the room. The two found Kakyoin in the hall. The red haired man had a nice button up shirt and pants on, covered with a casual jacket. He had some nice glasses on as well. "Noriaki!," the plum haired pillar girl called to him. Kakyoin looked at the two walking towards him and gave a smile, "Good evening, you two. You decided to join us for dinner?"
"Yes.," Santana replied curtly. "We are.," (y/n) spoke, "I know that the place you found will be lovely." "Are you still mad about that stand user, Santana?," Kakyoin asked the pillar man who acted pretty rudely. "I want to kill him.," the vermillion haired man answered. (Y/n) held onto his thick hair, "Josuke already beat him into a bloody pulp." "That's not enough. Not for what he did.," Santana growled. Kakyoin took a small step away from the angry Pillar man. He still had a smile on his face, even if the pillar was being rude, he would be kind.

The three stepped out into the cool night air. Joseph and Caesar were already outside and talking. The baby that (y/n) heard about from Koichi was in Joseph's arms. Jotaro was standing beside Jospeh. "Jojo! Jotaro! Caesar!," the little girl called and waved at the small group. The three turned and saw their friends coming up to them and the little girl waving. Joseph had a small smile to the approaching group as he held the baby he found, "Good evening, Santana and (y/n). You two look well." "Thank you, so do you.," the little girl replied to be polite and looked at the baby, "So small. Is this the baby you found?" "Yes she is. I'm calling her Shizuka.," Joseph replied and let the two pillars look at the child. Santana looked at the baby with his scarlet eyes, "Small. Like (y/n) is." "She is a baby, so she is small.," the old man smiled.
"Is that a jab at my height?," the plum haired girl asked and gripped the vermillion hair that was under her hand. "No.," came the answer from her guard. They heard the good natured chuckle come from the Italian man that stood next to Joseph, Santana sent a glare to Caesar. "Santana, lighten up. There is no need to be so on guard.," the Italian spoke, "(y/n) is back to normal and this Rohan was taught a lesson right?" "There is still a possibility that there are more enemy stand users. We need to be on guard.," Jotaro spoke, "Santana is right for being on guard. But you should also be considerate of others."

Santana stood tall and violent energy sparked between he and Jotaro. If Jotaro was younger, he and Santana would have fought right there. But he matured. He had a daughter. Kakyoin cleared his throat, "Now, since everyone is here, how about we go to the restaurant?" The group followed the red haired man to the restaurant. It was a pretty nice place. The food smelled good and it did not seem too formal. Everyone got seated at a table. Santana seated (y/n) on his leg as Caesar sat beside them, Kakyoin was on the other side of the two pillars. The red haired man explained to Santana how the restaurant worked. The pillar man listened to the red haired human man. The small girl on Santana's leg looked at the menu, reading the food that was being offered to the customers. Her red eyes scanned over the menu, looking for something that Santana would like. They had experimented with flavors before to see what he preferred.
Banter commenced between the old friends at the table. Caesar and Joseph told the younger ones about their training on Air Supplina Island and Lisa Lisa.
The group each selected a meal that they wanted and ordered it. The drinks that they had ordered glistened under the lights that shone overhead. Talk between all of them was pleasant, Although Santana was mostly quiet. It was not until Caesar started to try and talk to him did he engage in the conversation. "Santana, you've been quiet.," the blond Italian spoke. "Never had a reason to talk before. Why is now different?," the vermillion haired man asked.

"You must have something that you want to say.," Kakyoin spoke. "I do. I'm hungry.," Santana replied and looked at the little girl in his lap, "Human food is not enough. I need something bigger." "Too bad there are no rogue vampires around, Huh?," (y/n) asked her guard as she smiled widely up to him. Santana made a small nod. Kakyoin made a small laugh and Caesar made an uncomfortable expression. "Vampires are good to eat. I liked them.," The scarlet eyed man spoke, "I did not have a preference of what we ate though. We had to hunt for our food." Jotaro sipped his drink and put it down, he looked to his grandfather before looking back to Santana. The dark haired Japanese man's ocean green eyes were locked with scarlet eyes before he spoke, "You have many experiences in your life correct?" "I do. Many battles. Sparring.," the pillar responded and looked down at the child on his lap, "Kindness. Loss."
Caesar reached out and patted the pillar man's shoulder, "If you want to talk about it at all, you are welcome to." "Some stories are only meant for (y/n).," Santana spoke as he pice up the drink that he had ordered after a suggestion from the plum haired girl that was perched on his leg. "How about just sharing some stories that can be for anyone?," Kakyoin proposed. This made Santana think a little. He looked down to (y/n) for support. The red eyes of the child stared back up at him.

The man looked back up to the others at the table, "All I ever knew was combat, even as a child. I was trained from a young age to fight. It was not until I was older that my rib blade power was unlocked thanks to the mask that master Kars had made for me. I was left behind to guard the temple. Lord Kars only returned to lay (y/n) to rest in the temple, I took up guard in my own sanctuary." "This was before the Germans found you.," Joseph spoke. "It was, Jojo. I was alseep, woken rudely by those men. It hurt when I fell on my face and horns.," Santana replied, "It was an annoying experience." "I bet.," the plum haired child spoke and picked up her drink to sip it.
"Jojo defeated me by exposing me to Sunlight.," the vermillion haired man continued,  "And I was slept until I was allowed to wake up. But, I was glad that (y/n) was there." The said girl grinned up at her guardian. The child reached up to his cheeks and grabbed them. "I was happy to see you too. I'm glad we can be together again.," (y/n) smiled up to Santana. He released his cheeks as the food came. The baby, Shizuka, yawned in Joseph's arms. She must be getting sleepy.

Dinner was delicious. Caesar coached Santana on how to use silverware, the pillar man quickly learned and was eating properly. Although, he still wanted to feed on something more substantial. He had to admit that humans knew how to use flavor in their foods. He looked down to see that (y/n) was offering him some of what was on her plate, holding it up for him to try with her fork. Santana took a bite and gave her a nod, telling her that it was good. She looked happy and went back to eating her own food, but her guardian could tell that she needed to eat something besides human food. She needed a large prey item.
Some small talk came up again, Jotaro spoke of the thesis papers he was writing based on the marine animals he had found on the beach. Kakyoin chuckled and told the group of how Jotaro fell into a tide pool. Small amounts of laughter rippled from the group as they shared silly stories. Caesar told them about some of the mischief Joseph had gotten up to on Air Supplina Island when he was training and how the coaches got back at him. Jotaro was giving his grandfather a surprised and disappointed expression after hearing about his youth.

(Y/n) answered some questions and told Joseph about his son, what Josuke liked and how he was as a person. The mood during dinner was high. Dessert could not make their spirits any higher. They were all pretty happy with the meal and the company. Save for Santana, that is. He was quiet. He did add into the conversation, yet it was awkward. Forced, almost. He seemed relieved to leave the human infested area once they finished dinner. They all paid for their expenses, Jotaro had (y/n) use some of the funds that the Speedwagon foundation set aside for her and Santana.
The group walked back, (y/n) was holding both Santana's and Caesar's hands. "That was fun. We should do it again.," Caesar smiled and lifted the small girl into the air to swing her. "Might not come.," Santana spoke, "I don't feel like I fit in with you humans." "You may not be a human, but you are someone who is just as much in need of friends as much as anyone else.," Joseph spoke up. Kakyoin smiled, "I think you fit in quite well here, Santana." The vermillion haired man and the blond Italian lifted the small plum haired girl into the air to swing.

The group walked back to the hotel. But, Santana and (y/n) stayed out in the moonlight. The two stared up into the skies, watching the moon and stars. "The stars sure are beautiful, aren't they?," the voice of Caesar asked. "The sky has changed a bit over thousands of years.," Santana replied. "And it will continue to change. Change is constant, everything changes even if we want it to stay the same.," the blond Italian spoke as a cool nighttime breeze blew over the three, "I eventually will change as well as my Hamon fails me. I only look half my age because of hamon. You two change as well, adapting to your environments and slowly growing as people."
Santana's hand was warm and gripped (y/n)'s, he seemed very unsure about everything. "Kakyoin is right. You fit in with us, we may not be the same species, nor were we allies before, but we are your friends now.," Caesar smiled and let out a tired breath, "This old man has to get some sleep. See you tomorrow, Santana." The green eyed man turned to walk away before he was stopped by the voice of Santana, "Caesar."

Caesar looked back at the two pillars. "Goodnight. Sleep well.," Santana said. The blond Italian smiled, "Goodnight, Santana, (y/n)." "Goodnight!," (y/n) chirped as she hugged the hamon user's leg. Caesar knelt to her height to allow her to hug his neck. He returned the child's hug and let go of her, she dropped from him and returned to Santana. Caesar returned to the hotel to rest.
