What's Worth Fighting For // Noriaki Kakyoin x Reader

Chapter 35

"Guys look! It's Kakyoin! He's over there!" Polnareff points to one of the teacup rides.

I follow his eyeline to see Kakyoin is in fact just chilling in the teacup, his arm slung over the side casually.

"Did you forget I summoned my Heirophant before you knocked me out? Before I completely lost consciousness, I had him dig and hide himself underground..." he smirks.

Honestly, it baffles me how smart that boy is. He deserves so much credit for how much he has helped us on our crusade.

"It's payback time, baby." He finishes, Heirophant Green tightening his grip on the enemy Stand.

"Let me go! Graghhh!" Death 13 tries to get himself out of Heirophant's grip but to no avail.

"Don't even try it Death 13... I'm completely in your blind spot. You can't cut me with your scythe! If you keep your useless struggling... I don't care if you're a baby... I'll snap your neck like a twig!" Kakyoin exclaims.

Instantly, we rush over to Kakyoin and I run past the others, wrapping my arms around him. We almost fall from my impact but Kakyoin wraps his arms around me and keeps us stable. I rest my head against his chest, his heartbeat telling me that he's okay.

"Kakyoin, we owe you both an apology." Grandpa Joseph looks guilty.

"I thought you had both lost your minds. I couldn't take you at your word that a baby could be a Stand user. You were the only ones who knew the danger... I'm sorry." Polnareff apologises.

But it's not exactly his fault. It's no ones fault. When you wake up, you don't remember the dream so there is no proof.

The lovely reunion is cut short when Death 13 behins to speak up again.

"Remember... you're still in my nightmare world!" His voice echoes and I pull away from Kakyoin to look up at the enemy Stand.

"Huh? Are the clouds... moving faster?" I ask.

"The clouds... the way they're moving- it's bizarre!" Grandpa Joseph exclaims. The clouds gather around Death 13 and Heirophant Green.

"Don't you dare try anything, Death 13!" Kakyoin warns.

"Kakyoin! Get your Stand away from behind him, now!" Jotaro speaks up, startling us.

But before Kakyoin has the chance to remove his Stand away, Death 13 uses his scythe to cut himself and Heirophant Green in half.

"This is impossible! Death 13... cut itself... in half..." Kakyoin falls to the ground as we all scream his name.

No, no, no! He's not dead! I refuse to believe it!

I rush to his side, dropping to my knees beside him. I place my hand on his chest whilst I use my other hand to check for a pulse. A pulse... he's... still alive?!

Kakyoin opens his eyes with a small smile, giving me a small wink.

Heirophant Green places a hand on Death 13's shoulder, imitating his words.

"Lali-ho."

Death 13 looks almost confused, worried and scared. I help Kakyoin stand up as he brushes himself off.

"Nah, just kidding!" He laughs.

Kakyoin explains how Heirophant unravelled himself in order to not get attacked by Death 13.

"No one told you? Heirophant can unwind it's body like a string, all the way down to it's legs. I told you I was in your blind spot and that you couldn't cut me with your scythe... now didn't I?" Kakyoin taunts and humiliates the baby and his Stand.

He holds up his arm with the previous cuts on it from his warning to us.

"If you don't want to burst from the inside out... first, I want you to heal my arm. You can do anything here, so you should be able to heal my wounds, right?" Kakyoin asks.

Death 13 obliges and heals his arm. Everyone begins to wake up but I walk over to Death 13, folding my arms.

"Before I wake up, I want you to let me remember everything that has just happened in this dream. And if you don't, I will make the rest of your life a living hell." I smile at the enemy Stand.

I slowly open my eyes to see the sun shining down onto us from above. The soft warmth of my sleeping bag is almost enough to make me fall back to sleep.

"Rise and shine! Polnareff get up, breakfast is ready." Kakyoin smiles, a genuine look of happiness on his face.

By the looks of things, everyone except me and Kakyoin have forgotten what just happened. Kakyoin looks over at me and I give him a small nod to let him know I remember.

"Oh! Kakyoin... are you okay?" Polnareff asks which makes me laugh. He still thinks Kakyoin has gone 'insane'.

"Of course, why?"

"Wh-why? You were out of control last night! You even carved the words 'Baby Stand' into your arm!" Polnareff exclaims.

He looks at Kakyoin's arm to see nothing there. Death 13 removed all the cuts last night.

"Polnareff, maybe you just had a really bizarre dream...?" I say, getting up as Kakyoin and I walk over to the baby.

"So... you remember?" He asks and I nod.

"Of course. I asked Death 13 to let me remember. I don't want to forget another time you saved all of us. We owe you big time for wveryt you've done for us." I smile.

He blushes and gives me a warm smile, wrapping his arms around me.

"Thank you Y/N."

"You're welcome Nori. Now... how about we give the baby a taste of his own medicine?" I smirk, looking at the baby who now has a distraught expression on his face.

Let's just say, the baby really did get a taste of something else.
