Star ✰ Untold (Jotaro x OC)

Chapter 6- Featherweight

Amira sighed "Guess there isn't any use trying to hide it anymore." she let her stand appear, a light purple humanoid with feathers along its neck, arms and legs.

Jotaro observed her stand closely, assessing its appearance and abilities.

"So that's it, huh? Some kind of bird stand, judging by its appearance."

Kakyoin, standing beside Jotaro, looked intrigued. "Interesting... This explains her strength and speed."

"It's called featherweight. It's able to make anything it touches light as a feather. it makes it easier to lift heavy objects, run quickly, jump even higher and even defend myself and throw heavier punches." she admitted, not daring look Jotaro in the eyes.

Jotaro listened intently, processing the information about her stand.

"So it basically increases your physical abilities. That's quite the useful stand you have."

Kakyoin spoke up, his analytical mind at work. "And it seems you can control its partial corporealization, considering I couldn't see it fully in the classroom."

"If...you both have stands as well...why are you so...aggressive with the fact that I do as well?"

Jotaro's expression darkened as he regarded her. "Because we don't know your allegiance. For all we know, you could be working for the enemy."

"Enemy?" she asked with a hint of confusion.

Jotaro's gaze remained intense as he continued to study her. "Yes, the enemy. Have you not heard of Dio Brando?"

She shook her head slowly, her stand vanishing. Kakyoin studied her expression, trying to find out if she was bluffing.

Jotaro's frown deepened as he observed her reaction. He couldn't quite tell if she was telling the truth or not. He glanced over at Kakyoin, silently signaling for him to continue the interrogation.

"You...said these things are called...stands?" she asked hesitantly "Does this DIO person you're talking about also have one?"

Jotaro leaned against the wall, folding his arms across his chest. "Yes, they're called stands. And yes, Dio has one as well."

Kakyoin, standing a few feet away, nodded in confirmation, his gaze never leaving her face.

"I see....so there are others like me." she looked at Jotaro with a serious expression "Now...what are you going to do? Are you...going to kill me?" she asked, biting her lip.

Jotaro's eyes narrowed as he regarded her. His mind was conflicted. Part of him wanted to trust her, and yet he couldn't shake the suspicion that she might be working for the enemy.

Kakyoin, who had been quietly observing the exchange, spoke up. "We won't kill you without reason, but we can't afford to underestimate you either. You're a potential threat until we know for sure where your allegiances lie."

"I have no knowledge of the man you're looking for...I've had this....'stand' for several years now. I don't know how or why I do..." her words seemed honest.

Jotaro studied her for a long moment, searching for any sign of deception. He wanted to believe her, but his years of experience had taught him to be cautious.

Kakyoin was also listening intently, his observant nature picking up on any subtle cues. He looked at Jotaro, sensing his internal conflict.

"You can chose to beleive me...or not, I have no way to prove myself entitely." she said, her voice shaking "Just....don't kill me....or h-hate me..." she bit her lip "Jotaro...I'd rather you kill me than hate me....though if I'm being honest."

Jotaro's heart stirred at her words. There was something in her plea that struck a chord with him. He could feel her vulnerability.

Kakyoin observed the scene, noting Jotaro's internal conflict. He knew his friend was having difficulty reconciling his suspicions with his feelings.

Amira looked down, as if expecting them to kill her, even though they stated before that they wouldn't. She squeezed her eyes shut, only for Jotaro to place his hat, his favotie hat right on her head.

Jotaro's movements were slow and deliberate as he placed his hat on her head, his hand lingering for a beat longer than necessary. His heart ached at the sight of her expecting death, and he couldn't help but feel a strange sense of protectiveness.

She felt the hat put a little weight on her head, she quickly looked up at him in shock.

Jotaro's gaze was intense as he looked down at her, his expression unreadable. He wasn't sure what possessed him to put his hat on her, but seeing it on her now felt strangely right.

Kakyoin, still observing, smiled faintly at the scene before him. He could tell Jotaro's feelings were becoming more conflicted by the minute.

She looked back and fourth between Kakyoin and Jotaro, her feelings too complicated for her to digest

"Amira..if you don't mind, it might be best for you to come with us to meet with Mr. Joestar and the others."

"I....understand the reasoning, so I will come with you."

Jotaro nodded in approval. He was glad that she was willing to cooperate without much of a fight. He knew it was necessary in order to clear up any doubts about her allegiances.

Kakyoin, still smiling faintly, spoke up. "Good, that will make things easier."

They met up at Jotaro's house with the rest of the group, Kakyoin filled Joeseph in on everything that had happened.

Joseph listened intently as Kakyoin relayed the events that had taken place, his expression serious. "I see... And tell me, what does your gut feeling tell you about her?"

Amira looked over at Kakyoin, slightly worried to hear what he thought of her now.

Kakyoin met her gaze for a moment before looking back at Joseph. He spoke, his tone even and measured. "She seems genuine. I don't detect any deception or malicious intent from her. But of course, we can't let our guard down just yet."

Amira, feeling a hint of relief, just smiled slightly "I...don't really know how I can prove my lack of involvement with the man you're searching for fully, but I am grateful for your trust in my as of the current moment."

Joseph leaned forward, his expression scrutinizing as he studied her. But his eyes held a glimmer of kindness. "We appreciate your cooperation, Amira. We just need to make sure you're not a potential threat. No offence, you understand."

"I do understand, Mr. Joestar...you guys are a good group..."

Joseph nodded, his smile growing a little wider. He patted Amira on the shoulder, his voice warm. "You seem like a nice girl. We'll get to the bottom of this."

Jotaro observed silently, his expression still unreadable. He was still not entirely convinced of Amira's innocence, but he trusted Joseph's judgement.
