Hate and love (Jotaro Kujo x reader)

24

You were looking at the photo trying to figure out why it was so familiar to you, the warm feeling was still strong. ''Y/N are you alright?'' Polnareff asked worried, you looked at him and smile ''Yeah, I'm fine!'' you lied. ''Alright! Let's go to Cairo!'' Mr. Joestar said as he took the picture and put it inside his pocket, as he put it away, the feeling disappeared. The men left the restaurant, but Jotaro didn't move, he waited for you to finish packing your bag. You looked at him somewhat confused ''Are you ok?'' you asked him as you put your bag over your good shoulder. ''Why you lied to Polnareff?'' he asked you as he was frowning at you. ''Because I don't want to be judged by all of you'' you said as you hold the bag. ''Good grief...'' he said as he walked away, but you grabbed his hand and he stopped, he turned to look at you ''I know the building where Dio is it's like I've seen it before, I don't know how or why, but something about it is familiar'' you said as you looked at him. ''Come on you guys, let's hurry a little bit!'' Mr. Joestar yelled from the car, you let go of Jotaro and walked outside the restaurant, he looked at you as you walked inside the car, and soon after he followed.

You were now in Cairo, a beautiful, big city. You were amazed at its beauty. ''Woaah!'' you said as you looked out of the window. ''Cairo is immense. Rather than searching aimlessly, we should work our way from the outskirts inward to the center'' Abdul said as all of you got out of the car. ''We are finally here'' Mr. Joestar said as you walked to a bar that was nearby. ''Welcome, foreigners. What would you like?'' The bartender asked. '' There's something I'd like to ask you'' Mr. Joestar said as he drops the photo on the counter. Jotaro looked at you to see if you had a reaction to it and you did, you started shaking as you looked at the photo. -What an evil aura is coming out of it....- ''Y/n.'' Jotaro said as he put his hand on your shoulder, you looked at him scared ''The...photo..has so much evil inside....I can feel it!'' you said and Jotaro looked at it frowning ''I don't feel anything. It's just a photo.'' he said ''It's more than that.'' Abdul said and you looked at him shocked ''Mr. Joestar's Stand reflects one's soul, it captures it. What Y/N is feeling is Dio's presents inside the house.'' Abdul said and Jotaro squeezed your shoulder, a sign you thought as you looked at his hand. A sign to tell Abdul what you told him earlier. ''I...I need to tell you something'' you said as you bit your bottom lip. ''What is it Miss Y/N?'' Abdul said worried. ''The..building...is looking familiar to me even though I've never been to Cairo before. I think I'm losing it'' you said as you put your hand over your forehead. ''Hm..I'm sure there is an explication for it. Don't worry we will figure it out '' Abdul said. ''Yeah..'' you said.

''Sirs and Ma'am, this is a Cafe. Please order something'' the bartender said. Mr. Joestar sighs ''Five iced teas'' he said and Abdul leaves some money on the counter. The man pours you the drinks as he looks at the photo. ''Nope, I don't recognize it'' he said and you drank your iced teas, but Mr. Joestar kept going to strangers to ask them about the building.

''This building, huh? ''Sorry, it doesn't look familiar'' ''I see. Sorry to bother you'' Mr. Joestar said taking the photo away from a guy. ''Come on. Let's continue our investigation'' Mr. Joestar said and all of you began walking out of the restaurant when a deep voice stopped you ''I know the building'' it said. ''What?!!?'' all of you asked in shock ''No doubt about it. It's that building'' the voice said. ''W-Was it you who just said that? I just heard someone say they know this building'' Mr. Joestar said as he looked around ''Yes. I did indeed say that I know where the mansion in that picture is located'' the voice said, you looked around to see where that voice came from ''There!'' you pointed to a bad-lighted corner ''What? Really?'' Mr. Joestar said as all of you approach the corner. ''That's great to hear!'' Abdul said. ''Yes! We're pretty lucky to have found someone who knows where it is from this picture'' Polnareff said. ''Where? Please tell us! Where is it?'' Mr. Joestar asked as you approach the corner, there he was, a man sitting at the table playing with his game cards. He was fancy-dressed, he had dark short hair and a big dark mustache covering his upper lip, and he was smirking at you. ''Are you asking me to give the answer for free?'' he asked, you slapped your hands on the table angry at the man, you looked at him dead in his eyes ''Don't play games with us! Someone's life is in danger if you don't tell us where is it!'' you yelled at him. He looked at you, but he wasn't scared of you he just smiled. You felt Jotaro's hands pulling you away from the table, you were still angry at the man. ''Y-You've got a point. Sorry about my friend, I will pay you ten pounds. So where is it?'' Mr. Joestar asked him, but the man declines the money and chuckles. ''I love gambling. I'm a sucker for cheap thrills. I can't get enough of them. Well, you could say that I make my living gambling. Do you like gambling?'' he asked. ''I'm not sure where you're getting at'' Mr. Joestar said confused. ''If you don't like gambling, just say no'' The man said. ''I'm asking you exactly what you mean by that'' Mr. Joestar said. ''Well, would you make a silly little wager with me? If you win, I will tell you where that place is for free.'' The mand said. ''Wager? I'm pretty confident when it comes to wagers, but we don't have time to play poker right now. I will give you another twenty pounds so please just tell us'' Mr. Joestar said. ''The thing about gambling is, you can do it with anything. I won't take any time at all. For example, look over there. See the cat?'' the man asked as he picks up two pieces of smoked fish and throws them and they hit the ground. ''Now, why don't we bet on which smoked fish that cat will eat first? Right or left? How about it? It's silly but thrilling'' the man said and Polnareff slams his fits on the table, you looked at him and smile a little bit ''Hey! You're really starting to annoy me! Just take the thirty pounds and hurry up and tell us!"' Polnareff said pointing at the man and Mr. Joestar grabs his arm trying to pull him away from the table ''Polnareff! That's not the way to ask someone for information'' Mr. Joestar said, but Polnareff slams his hand on the table once more. ''Polnareff!'' you yelled and everyone looked at you confused '' You can give him all the money in the world, but he won't take them! He wants to gamble for the information, as he said, you win, he will tell us. He's not interested in our money, he wants something else from us....'' you said as you looked at the man angrily, he smirked as he was playing with the cards. ''And what's that?'' Polnareff asked you as he looked at you confused ''I don't know yet'' you said as your eyes were on the man, analyzing his every move and then your eyes moved onto the cat. -What is he after if not money? Something valuable, jewelry? No, that's not it, he would have asked for them. Something worth fighting for, Something like.....- but your train of thoughts ended when Polnareff yelled ''Okay fine! Then I will make a bet. I pick the one on the right!'' Polnareff said and then it hit you, your eyes open wide -If he's not after our money... then..he's after our souls! - you thought as you looked at the men ''Polnareff! Pick the left one!'' You yelled, Polnareff looked at you confused ''Good! Now it's getting fun. Then I shall wager on the left'' The man said. ''Hey, Jotaro, Miss Y/N. Isn't he rather suspicious? '' Abdul said '' Yeah, he might be an enemy Stand user. But he might just be a compulsive gambler'' Jotaro said ''He's in trouble!'' you whisper as you grabbed your bag tight ''What are we wagering thought?'' Mr. Joestar asked confused. ''Good question. Oh, and Jotaro. If he does anything even remotely strange, go through him with Star Platinum'' Abdul said ''Got it'' Jotaro said. Polnareff turned back to the man who was smiling at him ''By the way, if I lose, what am I supposed to pay you? Like, a hundred pounds?'' Polnareff said. ''I don't need money. How about your soul? I will take your soul'' the man said. ''What?'' Polnareff asked confused ''Your answer?'' the man asked ''Yeah, okay, sure. That's fine'' Polnareff said and you were shocked ''Polnareff! Think about it! Use your damn brain for once!"' you yelled at him, but he smiled ''Don't worry Y/N, I will be fine. He's just bluffing!'' Polnareff said. ''He's not! You idiot! Can't you tell?'' you yelled at him angrily. ''OH? The cat had taken notice of the smoked fish'' the man said as the cat begins running towards it. ''The kitty is going to the right'' Polnareff said cockily. The cat suddenly goes to the left and takes one and then the right one. 'You saw it. It first took the left, then the right, and then it ran. I win!'' the man said smiling ''Hey, you lost, Polnareff. What are you going to do now? I'm getting sick of asking around about that building'' Mr. Joestar said. ''Now, then. As per our agreement, let's have you pay up'' the man said. ''Huh? Pay? Pay what?'' Polnareff asked confused, you rolled your eyes. ''Your soul you idiot! He's a Stand user!'' you yelled and the men were shocked. ''The little lady is correct! That is indeed what you just wagered. Your soul! I'm a Stand user that steals souls! Gambling makes it easier for the human soul to leave its vessel. It is my Stand's power to streak it at that moment!'' The man said smiling and all of you watched in horror how Polnareff's soul left his body. ''What? What's going on?!'' Mr. Joestar said. ''Polnareff!'' Jotaro said and then he looks at the man angry. ''Hold it! Don't kill me. It's too late! If I die, Polnareff's soul, which is in my Stand's grasp, will also die'' The man said. ''Polnareff!'' Abdul said catching his body. You looked at the man angry. ''You bastard!'' you yelled as you punched the table, the man looked at you surprised, but curious ''How did you know that I was after his soul? That I was a Stand user?'' he asked you calmly. You looked at him ready to kill him, but you took a step back. ''You don't want our money or jewelry or car. You don't want anything valuable from us or at least not Earthy valuable, which left only the soul or our life. If you take our soul you practically kill us so that was our most valuable thing.'' you said as you looked at him pissed off, Jotaro also looked at you kinda shocked that you figured it out so soon, he has a theory himself about what the man was after, but he thought he was the only one, he was impressed by you and a little smiled appeared on his face. ''H-He has no pulse!'' Abdul said, you looked at Polnareff's body and you clenched your fists. ''Is there anything you can do Miss Y/N?'' Abdul said as he was holding Polnareff's body, he looked at you hoping you could save him. ''No...I can't...If we want to bring him back, we have to win at his games!'' you said as you looked at the man angry. ''He's dead! Polnareff's dead!'' Abdul said as he holds his friend's body tightly in his arms. ''Polnareff!'' Mr. Joestar yells out. The man's Stand appeared and turned Polnareff's soul into a poker chip, the man picked it up. ''This is Polnareff's soul. This means I've already gotten rid of one of the people trying to get in Lord Dio's way. Even if he was just a fool. It's a little overdue, but allow me to introduce myself. My name is D'Arby. D-A-R-B-Y. There's an apostrophe after D. '' D'Arby said. The cat sits on his lap and then moves to his shoulder. ''By the way, this is my cat'' D'Arby said and Abdul grabs him by his shirt. ''Y-You scum! Don't screw with us! A bet? It was just a scam!'' Abdul said angrily. ''A scam? Listen, if you've been scammed, the one who failed to see through it is the loser. I believe gambling is just like relationships. It's all about fooling the other. The one who cries loses. Are you going to kill me with your bare hands? Very well. Do it. If you want this soul to die as well'' D'Arby said. ''Listen here. You will not walk away from this in one piece!'' Abdul said angry. ''Do you remember what you were doing on the night of September 22nd 1984 at 11:15 PM?'' D'Arby said, Abdul took off his hand away from his shirt ''What are you talking about?'' Abdul said confused. ''I remember. Around that time in California, I was gambling with an American man named Stephen Moore, and he said the same thing you just did'' D'Arby said as he pulls out a book filled with poker chips. ''This is him'' he said as he was pointing to a chip. You were shocked ''The one below is Moore's father, and his wife is right next to him. If you want to get Polnareff's soul back, you have no choice, but to continue gambling with me as the little lady over there said.'' D'Arby said as he puts his book away. ''What will you do? If you're scared, you can go home and leave Polnareff behind'' D'Arby said giggling. ''Well, have a drink and think about it long and hard. How about some chocolate?'' D'Arby said. Mr. Joestar walked over with a bottle in his hand, he clears the table as he sets a cup down, he fills the cup with a liquid. You looked at him shocked ''Mr. Joestar?'' you asked him confused ''M-Mister Joestar, what are you trying to do?'' Abdul asked confused. ''Have you heard of surface tension, Barbie?'' Mr. Joestar said and you giggled. ''It's D'Arby. My name is D'Arby. It's the force that's keeping that drink from breaking the surface, correct? What do you plan to do?'' D'Arby said ''The rules are simple'' Mr. Joestar began -This is bad, if this guy cheats, Mr. Joestar could lose his soul! Mr. Joestar has no chance of winning! - ''Jotaro...'' you said, he looked at his grandfather and D'Arby, but he paid attention to what you were saying ''Use Star Platinum vision to look at D'Arby, I'm sure he will cheat his way up with Mr. Joestar.'' you said ''Yeah..'' Jotaro said watching their every move ''We'll take turns putting coins in this glass. The one who makes it overflow loses'' Mr. Joestar said. ''Y-You can't mean it, Mister Joestar!'' Abdul said worried. ''Mr. Joestar that's just stupid! Stop it before its too late!'' you yelled at him ''Old man, Y/N is right! You have to stop!'' Jotaro said, but Mr. Joestar was serious ''I will wager my soul on it!'' he said. ''Good!'' D'Arby said. ''What? Impossible! Please don't! He's a con artist!"' Abdul said. ''I won't let him cheat! I'm the one who chose the method of this wager!'' Mr. Joestar said ''Okay! That's fine. I shall take this bet. But first, do you mind if I inspect the glass and coins?'' D'Arby said.
