A Legacy to Protect (JJBA x MHA)

Chapter 125: High Speed Vengeance

Johnny yawned, and attempted to get up, only to find he had weight on his back.

A certain ten-year old somehow got into his room.

Johnny snorted at Eri's blatant gesture of affection, and decided to just keep laying down for a while, as not to wake her.

Then, there was a knock on his door, and Eri grumbled awake.

Damn you, stupid visitor! You ruined the moment! That was so cute...

"Who is it?" Johnny asked.

"Your conscience." Came the snappy reply.

Well, I guess the visitor is cute too, in a different way.

"I guess that statement would be accurate, come in Kyoka."

Kyoka came in, noticed the sleepy Eri, and smiled. "You didn't tell me you had company."

"I didn't know myself."

"Sorry, I really missed you guys." Eri said, and Kyoka affectionately ruffled the child's head.

"It's all good, we missed you too."

Eri grinned, and hopped off the bed, accidentally digging her knee into Johnny's back as she did so. "OOF!"

"Sorry JoJo!"

"I-It's okay...ow..."

Kyoka kneeled down and hugged Eri. "Hey, Mr. Aizawa's probably looking for you, you wouldn't want to scare him, right?"

"No...but I wanted to see JoJo..."

"I know, but you can see JoJo any time, you just need to get permission first."

"Am I in trouble?"

"Nah, just let people know where you're going, that's all." Kyoka said. "Now, I have to talk with JoJo about something private-"

"Okay, I'll leave...but I'm coming back!"

Kyoka laughed, and patted Eri on the back, hurrying her along. Once her laughter died down, it became something a bit more serious. "Alright...how do I go about this?"

"Did I do something wrong?"

"No, if you had I would've told you the moment you did it. No...I think I did."

Johnny rolled over. "Really?"

Kyoka nodded, and looked over at Johnny, taking his hand. "Yeah, I did. I like to call my parents in the morning, and my mom..."

"Mentioned that she had a talk with me?"

Kyoka was silent.

"I'm not mad at yo-"

"Why? You should be."

"You love your family, and you trust them, I would've been honest with Dad, or Jolyne-"

"Both of whom are both directly involved with this, my parents aren't."

"I don't care if your parents know about Cummings, or anything else that happened to us. They're good people, they would have to be if they raised someone like you."

"Don't you dare try and use this as an opportunity to woo me, Johnny. I kept a secret from you, and it was a big one. I should've asked for your permission, or-"

"Kyoka, you're seriously overthinking this."

Johnny sat up and wrapped his arms around her, and Kyoka lowered her head. "How am I? I told them private stuff...I told them about Cummings, Santana, Necromancer, all of it...almost immediately after each of them happened. I even told them about Valentine and the Steel Ball Run...I wasn't even involved with that!"
