JJBA: shenanigans

11: lost bet

Rohan's POV

"Why didn't he finish the story a few days ago and why wasn't I there? I'm brimming with inspiration to write a new manga now." I said.

"Idiot, he was in the middle of it when an unknown Stand user tried to capture Koichi using a robot octopus tentacle that Jotaro said looked familiar and cried for the rest of the day wondering if he was seeing things or something else, then he tried to hunt the guy down for 2 days with no success, the only lead he got was finding the motel where the 10 were staying and getting their names." Hazamada shot back.

"Did you see the user?" I asked," no, all we heard was faint and maniacal laughter." Koichi said," that's cold, but a group of 10 tourists was here from the 1st of June until the 14th, they're all Stand users." Tonio said" yeah and the first day they were here we got into a fight with them over something about a soul fragment and they wiped the floor with us being years more experienced than us, Aaron explained just that." Yukako sighed.

"So have you been training with others since Egypt?" Koichi asked," my friends pushed me to find some, and I did, coming to the conclusion that if I'm a demon hunter I'm going to have to train which I have." Jotaro said," well this is a small town of 58000+ people so it's no surprise that 7331 people are Stand users and are years more experienced in combat than us." Hazamada said when the door opened and Okuyasu's laughter broke the momentary silence.

"Will you shut up man! I lost a bet and I have to do a stupid dance and hand the video over as proof I did it!" Josuke yelled," what do you think would happen to play a game of rigged darts?" Okuyasu cackled walking into the living room then staggered a little when an apple hit him in the head" what was that about?" Yukako asked," Josuke lost a bet and now he has to do a dance in undesirable clothing." He said before falling into the second wave of laughter.

"Do I want to know?" I asked," I want to." Koichi said," be careful about what you wish for." Yukako grumbled," So I guess I missed the other half of the story?" Okuyasu asked," I'll tell you about it later, by the way, do you remember our little beat down by that group of tourists?" Koichi asked.

"Yeah, but there were 9 of them, I don't think the 10th even got involved but I did see him go to the hotel the next day with another of that group, I think Josuke said he had a voice alteration Stand, I don't remember," Okuyasu said," yeah, that's right, what did the guy accompanying him look like?" Hazamada asked," uh, shoulder length brown hair wearing a black tuque, a navy blue sweater shirt, blue jeans and matching brown eyes," Okuyasu said.

"We had a talk for an hour and I didn't feel the reiatsu of a Stand user." Jotaro said," didn't Aaron say something that the user can ask their Stand to stop sending out the signal to make them anonymous?" Tonio asked, Jotaro was about to answer when we heard a groan" I hope you're ready to be scarred for life." We heard Josuke groan and he entered the room.

Tonio's POV

Looking toward the door my eyes widened upon seeing Josuke, he looked utterly miserable, no crap since he was wearing a god-awful cocktail dress, decked out in makeup along with holding 2 bottles of whiskey in one hand by their tops, a small radio, and a camera in the other hand when Jotaro wailed in horror" what the hell Josuke!?" Jotaro cried then glared at Star Platinum who was propped up on Diamond's shoulder dying of laughter.

Heavens Door is floating upside down in stitches while Echoes and the Hand, or Blue as the others call him are the only ones who aren't laughing, instead, the smaller of the 2 is sitting in the fetal position while Blue has an arm propped on the wall and both are wailing in horror, Koichi and Okuyasu, on the other hand, are enjoying Jousuke's suffering" don't say anything or you will never hear the end of it." Josuke growled.

"No promises." Koichi said," don't you remember what I said about Stand being ticklish since that's a side effect of being part of the users' soul and if the physical and mental links aren't undone then you'll feel everything." Jotaro said smirking, Koichi paled" nevermind what I said." He squeaked.

"So this has happened before?" Hazamada asked" yeah on the trip to Egypt and it was a dare, we were in a hotel when the old man went shopping, came back, and dared Polnareff to put the dress on which he did and that image has been seared into my brain when gramps said he did that himself before WW2 started. Polnareff got back at him." Jotaro explained," well I'm sorry but there has to be video proof of this." Josuke said.

Pressing the play button on the radio and started dancing while shaking the bottles vigorously, by the time the song ended the caps blew off the tops of the bottles in a geyser of booze then put the bottles on the cabinet and ended the video" that's over with, so what was this payback on dad your buddy did?" Josuke asked, looking over to the raven-haired man he smirked deviously vaulting over the back of the couch.

"Oh I don't know, just tickling the guy until he was squealing for mercy and that's what I'm doing since you scarred me again." He growled, a playfully predatory grin spreading on his face and sizing the teen up whose eyes are as wide as saucers" oh shit." He squawked then booked it out of the house screaming and Jotaro on his heel yelling" has he got you back for the prank you had Echoes pull on him a month ago?" Okuyasu asked.

"No, I think he's making me paranoid," Koichi said," about the question earlier, yes Stand users can stop the signal a Stand sends out for a friend, Aaron explained that when we encountered him at Reimi's alley, a friend of his saved a friend of Jotaro's 12 years back that he still thinks dead," Rohan explained, Okuyasu spluttered" the dude that went to the hotel for an hour? What the hell was he thinking?!" He demanded.

"I gave him a piece of my mind that the waiting period to see Jotaro isn't over yet after he did that," Aaron said startling us" how long have you been here?" Hazamada asked," ever since he started dancing, that's something I didn't want to see when I phased through the wall." Aaron said shuddering" oh well, since the rest of us know that Noriaki is alive I'll have to write the same command in your mind books as I did with Koichi to keep this a secret." Rohan said.

"Dude, I barely encounter Jotaro as is, some with Tonio, isn't this cruel?" Hazamada asked," it's what Kakyoin agreed to and yes, it is cruel to keep him in the dark but since they've been living apart, life has looked up for the guy since he got back together with his friends, we left a clue back in Egypt, Jun snatched the gigai from the water tower, incinerated it and cleaned all the blood before they came back and yet they're idiots thinking the police got there first and never saw the note on the side of it." Aaron explained.

Oh boy, this is going to be complicated.
