(Jojo / Jjba X Reader) A 7TH Stand User Joins The Party

Chapter 15

The morning was fairly normal if you were honest. It was raining pretty hard, but otherwise nothing much happened. You went and ate breakfast with Kakyoin, Joseph, and Jotaro. You had Idlis, which was kind of like a pancake, but was made with steamed rice dough. It was delicious!

After breakfast, you stood with Joseph and Jotaro under an overhang to avoid the rain. Kakyoin had gone off by himself, saying he wanted to check out some store he had seen the previous day, but didnt get a chance to go in.

The rain just stopped, and you were getting ready to suggest going to the same shop Kakyoin went to when you heard screaming from nearby.

"O-oh no..." you muttered, taking off running without another thought. You could hear the pounding of footsteps behind you. Jotaro and Joseph were following the same noise.

It was too far, it was taking too long... where...?

Suddenly you saw someone laying in the street ahead of you.

Someone... familiar-

"No... Avdol!" your voice cracked as you yelled his name. No... No, he couldn't be dead... not Avdol... You fell to your knees at his side. Joseph kneeling on the other side of him. Jotaro stopped a few feet away, looking on.

What happened here?

Joseph slowly leaned down, pressing his fingers against Avdol's neck. "... He's alive, but his heartbeat is weak, we need to get him to the hospital now." He said, carefully gathering the man into his arms.

As Avdol was lifted, you could see that the entire back of his robes were covered in blood.

You felt sick. How could you let this happen...

Twenty minutes later and you were in the hospital, Avdol had just gone into surgery, and you were waiting for Joseph to finish up talking to one of the doctors.

Jotaro spoke, "I spoke with one of the onlookers while you and the old man were tending to Avdol."

"What did they say?" you asked, chewing your lip.

"Avdol pushed Polnareff out of the way of a gunshot. It looks like we're dealing with two stand users instead of one." he said, "Kakyoin and Polnareff fled together... from what they said, I can only assume that the stand user who uses mirrors followed them.... But the stand user who uses a gun stayed put... we'll go to look for him after this."

You nodded, looking over when Joseph approached the two of you. "They say he'll be fine. He will rejoin us when he is properly healed... until then, he's staying here... I'll get updates via phone.... But more importantly...." he let out a deep sigh. "I spoke with Avdol before he went into surgery."

"Huh? He woke up? What did he say?" you pressed, stepping forward.

"Well... eh... he wants us to let Polnareff think he's dead..." he said, rubbing the back of his head. "... I... don't exactly understand it, but it was his wish... so I think we should listen." he said.

You didn't understand it either... but... Avdol was smart. You trusted his logic. "Okay... yeah..."

You saw Jotaro nod out of the corner of your eye.

So it was decided then... Muhammad Avdol was from this point on... dead.

The three of you walked back to the street where Avdol was found, heading down a side path when you suddenly heard voices. Joseph's arm shot out in front of you and Jotaro.

You stopped short, looking over at him with a questioning look.

Joseph pressed a finger to his lips, motioning for you to listen.

A voice drifted over to where you were.

"....stand a chance against the invincible Hanged Man. Polnareff, your jokes suck."

Polnareff...? Wait... why did that voice sound so familiar?

You could hear Polnareff's voice now. "That piece of shits body is about two or three thousand meters that way. Want to take a look?"

There was a long pause, then you heard that same familiar voice say, "Okay, I will!"

Suddenly, you heard footsteps running towards where you stood. Jotaro beside you let out a chuckle, stepping forward.

As the mystery person came running around the corner, Jotaro slammed his fist into the man's face, knocking him to the ground.

It was then that you realized why his voice sounded so familiar.

"Y-You!"
