You yawned as Ms. Kujo was frantically asking Jotaro questions, "Did you..do that to him?"

"Nah I mostly did. But yeah he did." You shrugged. "Sorry, sometimes not even I can control my stands strength."

"I-it's alright Y/n no need to apologize." Ms. Kujo seemed a bit sickly pale. You shook it off and ran to catch up with Jotaro.

"I know why this young man was fighting you guys today." Mr. Joestar lifted Kakyoins bangs to reveal a beetle-like creature that was infused into Kakyoins forehead. "Charisma! DIO had planted his own cells into this bug like creature to control this young man."

"It's no use, this young man will die soon." Avdol sighed.

"Ah shit! I killed him didn't I?" You grabbed your hair and tugged on it.

"No no not like that Y/n, the bug-like creature was killing him slowly on the inside." Avdol reassured you.

"Wait a damn minute. Kakyoin here.. isn't dead yet!" Jotaro summoned his stand. He kneeled down and ever so gently grabbed Kakyoins face, "I'll use my stand to pull it out."

'Ayo that's kinda gay bro 😳..' You snickered to yourself.

Ignoring his grandfathers protests, Jotaro successfully removed the ugly looking beetle.

-Tiny time skip-

"You may stay here for the night if you'd like!" Ms. Kujo beamed like the sun. "Oh.. thank you Ms. Kujo! You're too kind." You fidgeted with your fingers.

"Oh it's nothing! We have a lot of unused space here in this house. And please, call me Holly or Sekio!"

"Thank you Ms. Holly." You bowed.

You slept in a comfy futon for the night, it was way more comfortable than sleeping on the old futons you'd find on the street. Guess that's just the luxury of having a rich family.

'I wonder if my family was rich too..'

You woke up to the sound of an old man yelling "Holly! Holly! You gave me the wrong pants!"

You yawned and stretched a bit before opening the door to see what was the reason for this ruckus. "Good morning Mr. Joestar." You greeted him.

"Oh good morning Y/n, I hope I didn't wake you." The old man rubbed the back of this neck. "Ah you're fine, I usually wake up around this time." You nervously chuckled.

"Hey can you help me look for Holly? I cant seem to find her anywhere..."

"Sure." You shrugged. You quickly brushed and freshened up, then looked for Ms. Holly.

'Why is this house so big...' You sighed. You saw Jotaro walking out the front door. "Hey Jotaro. Have you seen your mom?"

He looked at you with a confused face. "You know.. now that I think about it, she's usually here to see me off.." He furrowed his eyebrows.

"That didn't answer my question. I'm gonna look in the kitchen then, have fun at school." You walked away.

You saw Avdol. "Good morning Mr. Avdol, have you seen Ms. Holly? Everyone is wondering where she's gone to."

"I have not, also Y/n please just call me Avdol. Mr. Avdol makes me feel old." He chuckled.

"Ah- okay then Avdo-" You were cut off by clattering in the kitchen. You whipped your head around and yelled, "Ms. Holly?" You ran to the kitchen.

Your eyes widened in horror. Ms. Holly was on the floor unconscious. "Avdol help!" You waved to him. He noticed the distress in your voice and ran over.

"Ms. Holly!" He exclaimed. He propped her up while yelling her name repeatedly and touching her forehead. "Avdol.." You furrowed your eyebrows. "I feel a toxic presence here. Could this be another stand attack?"

"No Y/n, look." Avdol turned her over. "I'm sorry Ms. Holly.." Avdol winced as he tore off some of her clothing. Green vines suddenly manifested on her bare back.

You tried to touch them, but your fingers went through. "This is.. her stand?" You looked at Avdol.

"Unfortunately yes, stands are supposed to be a manifestation of one's fighting spirit. Poor Holly was too kind and peaceful to have one. She wasn't strong enough for DIOs curse.. we were all relieved that Holly wasn't affected, but now it seems her own stand is killing her!" Avdol balled up his fists.

You turned your head and saw Jotaro with Mr. Joestar standing in the doorway. They must have heard everything.

Mr. Joestar yelled with frustration and he grabbed Jotaros collar and pinned him to the wall. "Why... why did it have to be my Holly? I was so relieved that it didn't affect her. She can't handle the curse!" He sobbed.

"Please take no offense to this Mr. Joestar, but crying is not going to help this situation. We need to break DIOs curse to save her." You stood and dusted yourself off.

Jotaro grabbed his grandfathers wrist and pushed it away. "Y/n is right old man. So, how do we break this curse?"

Mr. Joestar stayed silent and looked at Avdol.

"We need to find DIO.. and kill him."

-Time skip-

Thanks to the help of Jotaros stand, the crew found some crucial information about DIOs location. "So he is in Cairo.." Kakyoin stepped into the room.

"I shall join you guys."

"Why would you?" Jotaro snorted

"Think of it as a thanks." Kakyoin smiled.

Jotaro tugged his hat down and rudely looked away.

"Whatever." He muttered.

You were glad that you had people helping you find DIO, maybe even a little relieved.

"Alright! Let's get ready folks!" Mr. Joestar exclaimed. You saluted and went to gather your belongings.

After that was done you met up with the others. You suddenly noticed all the black cars around the house.

"These are the best doctors the Speedwagon Foundation has to offer, they'll take good care of Holly while we're away." Mr. Joestar explained.

"Jotaro, Y/n, before we leave. I'd like to name your stands. Take a card from this deck as it will decide your fate." Avdol held out a deck of blue cards.

You both took a card from the deck of cards. "The Star Card! Then I shall name your stand.. Star Platinum. What card did you get Y/n?"

You looked down at the card, the design was very unique and pretty, yet mysterious. "The... Shadows card..?" You raised an eyebrow. "Ah, then I shall name your stand..

Piercing Shadows!"
