A Devil with an Angel's Heart

Chapter 12

||Kate

The next morning, you met up for breakfast. Mr. Joestar told you that you would be taking the bus to Varanasi. Kumiko joined the breakfast table rather late. "How's your first hangover?" you asked and gave her a smoothie to drink, "That should help you.". Kumiko just hummed in response, taking a sip. "That tastes awful! Does it really help?" "No." you smiled, patting her head. In that moment a scream echoed through the hotel and you couldn't keep the grin from forming. "Kate, what did you do?" asked the old man. In that moment a very red-faced woman in the hotel's uniform rushed in. "Excuse me, but I was told one of the two ladies on this table is residing in room 387." "That would be me." Kumiko responded. "I see. Well, miss, you...you forgot your partner on the...bed." the employee was forcing out the words. "What?" Kumiko didn't understand. "He's....tied down on the bed." the poor employee mumbled. Kumiko looked at you reproachfully. "He ate my sandwich." you explained, trying to justify your actions, then you grinned, "You better go and free him, I'm sure he's hungry." "Where did you even get the rope?" wondered Polnareff. "Didn't you know? There's a sex shop right around the corner." you responded. "A sex shop?!" Kumiko looked scandalised and wanted to know why you went there. "I wasn't sober anymore, and I was angry cause Jack ate my sandwich." you explained. "But why a sex shop?" inquired Kakyoin. "They're actually quiet convenient. You can get a lot of stuff there." explained Polnareff. "Thank you." you said gratefully, "Apart from toys you can get ropes, hand cuffs, gags, sedatives, aphrodisiacs....Now that I think about it, maybe we should stop by before getting on the bus...." After that Jack was freed and you gradually got ready to leave for the bus.

You were just about to leave through the door, when you remembered. "That's right!" you burst out, "I promised you something." You turned to Jotaro, who looked at you questioningly. You got close, only reaching up to the male's chest, and looked up at him. Something in his eyes changed as he realised what you were about to do. You smiled knowingly, grabbed the collar of his jacket, pulled him down and met his lips with your own. "I promised you one, didn't I?" you giggled. Something fell to the ground, it was Kumiko's book. You finally noticed the entire group standing there, staring at you, mouth's agape. Deciding to ignore them, you smiled at the raven-haired teen, who was still somewhat dumbfounded himself and stepped outside. Only moments after Kumiko rushed after you. "You....kissed Jotaro." she stated. "I promised him one." you answered. "But it was you who told me 'Sex is only physical. You can do that without feelings, it's just lust and desire. Your body will react, whether you want it to or not. But kissing, kissing requires feelings." Kumiko spoke. "There are some exceptions..." you started but were interrupted by your friend, "So, you wanted to?" "I guess so, I wouldn't have done it otherwise, or promised him one in the first place...." you explained, while walking to the bus stop." "You wanted to kiss Jotaro." Kumi tried to comprehend your words. "Yes. I intentionally kissed Jojo. It's not that big a deal, get over it already." you huffed. "Since when do you call him 'Jojo'?" Kumiko was once again shocked and it was starting to get onto your nerves. "Since the night we stayed at my dad's hotel." you stated dryly, glad the bus arrived just when you reached the bus stop.

The bus, not in best condition, trundled along a lonely country road. "Listen up, I usually don't get on a soap box like this...But stupid people are just that. You could repeat something a million times over and they still won't listen. You know the type, right? There's just no helping the poor souls. But you know, uh...hold on..." Polnareff talked to the woman and only now realised that he didn't know her name. "I never got your name..." The woman said her name was Nena. "Nena! That's a great name. You're the daughter of a wealthy family in the sacred city of Varanasi, we're passing through, right? You're good-looking and you've got a incredibly good head on your shoulders. I have an eye for people, which leads me to my point..." In the row behind you Mr. Joestar started noticing his arm was itchy. "Hol Horse is a horrible, lying bastard, you understand? He was manipulating you! Think how your parents would feel. You hear me? You can't end up like this, ok? I know it's easy when you're in love. But you can't afford to see the world with such a narrow view. Take a step back and look at the whole picture." Polnareff kept on talking in the back. "Poor girl. Polnareff won't stop talking." you sighed, leaning against the window. You didn't have much space between Jotaro and the bus window, but you had insisted on the window seat. "You alright? You seem quieter than usual." you pointed out. "I'm fine." Jotaro grunted, so you decided to leave him to it. "Hey, we're almost there." commented Kakyoin, also slightly miffed by the French's relentless talking. "Man this thing isn't getting any better." Mr, Joestar looked at the weird, suspicious lump on his arm.
