Stardust Lovers

Head to Egypt

Back at the Kujo residence.

Holly was standing in the backyard, hanging wet clothes on a steel rod. Joseph and Avdol were sitting inside the tea room with the sliding door wide open.

Holly: "Papa you should relax a little bit. You must be tired from your flight".
Joseph: " I know. I know. I'm just worried about that kid. I don't know how to deal with him".
Holly: "Jotaro might be a bit rough with people. But he's still good at heart! I'm sure he'll help you find uhhhh......".
Joseph: " Dio, Holly".
Holly: "Oh yeah! Dio. I'm sure he'll help you".
Holly went back to hanging wet clothes. Avdol and Joseph started to discuss whether they should take Jotaro with them on this hunt.

Joseph: " I don't want to risk anyone else's life Avdol. This was my grandfather's fight. I don't want to involve Holly or Jotaro. Hell, I didn't want to involve you either".
Avdol: "Then why am I still with you Mr. Joestar"?
Joseph sighed and said: " Because you're one stubborn bastard".
Avdol smirked and took a sip out of his tea.
Joseph: "Yuck! How can you drink that? That's nowhere near as good as the tea my Grandma Erina used to make"!
Avdol: " With all due respect Mr. Joestar, I think the only reason you don't like anything japanese is because Holly has to this far away from you".
Joseph: "Why couldn't have they have lived somewhere closer?! Like Manhattan"!

They hear sound of footsteps on wooden floorboards.

Holly: "Oh! Looks like Jojo's back"!
" Welcome hoooooooooOH MY GOD"!
Holly screamed out in shock.
"Ah. Just as I figured. He fought someone again. What will I do with him" Joseph thought.
He turned his towards the open sliding door where Holly stood stunned. He expected to see his Grandson coming into the frame, covered in cuts and bruises.
But what he saw was far, far worse.

Jotaro was had a small cut on his cheek and some blood was dripping out of his mouth but nothing much. What had in his hands was the thing that shocked Joseph and Holly. An unconscious teen, not older than Jotaro, in a green high school uniform. Blood was dripping out her mouth and head.
Seeing this out of context, Holly and Joseph of course thought that the delinquent has kidnapped this innocent girl.
Joseph began to breathe heavily while he tried to collect his thoughts. Holly put her hand on her mouth and made an audible gasp.
The only one among them who remained calm was Avdol.
The man finished the last sip of his tea and placed the cup down.
Avdol: "Jojo, who is this girl you brought with you".
Jotaro: "Stand user. She attacked me. I fought back".
Avdol: " I see. I believe Dio has figured out that we are watching him. That's why he sent an assassin".
Joseph: "Oh....Yes that makes sense".
Jotaro: " What do you mean that makes sense? That is the only logical explanation. What? You thought that I just beat up a random girl and brought her back with me"?
Joseph: "Well......."
Jotaro: "Fuck you old man".

Holly sighed in relief. For a second she was expecting the worse.
" Oh Jotaro! I worry about you so much. You never talk to me about anything. Not a word. I know you're a good boy deep down. But still......"
She thought worriedly.

Jotaro: "Hey".
Holly: " Yes"?
Jotaro: "You aren't looking so good today. Are you okay"?
Holly was touched by the fact her son is concerned about her.
Holly: " Yes son! I'm fine, thank you"!
Jotaro: "Hmph".
Joseph: " Put her down first. I need to check something. Ummm.....Holly could you please go to another room"?
Holly: "Ok papa".

Holly leaves the room. Jotaro puts down Kakyoin in the middle of the room. Joseph carefully brushed the hair from her forehead off.
His expression became grim. He found exactly what he was looking for. Unfortunately, It's not good news for the girl.

Joseph: " This is not good. We can't.........we can't save her".
Jotaro's eyes widened in shock, even if it was for a millisecond.
Trying to keep his voice calm, he said: "What do you mean"?
Joseph: " What I mean is that she'll die in a few days. Here, look at her forehead".
Jotaro squinted his eyes. He noticed a weird, fleshy bulb on Kakyoin's forehead. It seemed to pulsating from time to time. He found it very disgusting.
