"You said that's the reason he swore royalty to DIO?"Jotaro asked disgusted "that is a flesh bud, formed from DIO's own cells. It connects to the brain. This tiny little flesh bud was implanted in his brain to influence his mind."Avdol explained. "In other words, that flesh bud is a controller that draws forth certain feelings. Charisma!"Joseph explained further. "Charisma..."Kiki asked. "The feelings that make soldiers want to obey dictators! The feelings that make true believers follow cult leaders! This young man admired DIO and swore loyalty to him! DIO is a charismatic figure, with his overwhelming powers of attraction. He used that to order this young man, called Kakyoin, to kill us."Joseph continued.

"So just operate and remove it."Jouko shrugged. "Oh, the brain is very delicate.  If he were to move while we were extracting it, we could inflict brain damage."Joseph sighed. "Tch."Jotaro scoffed. "Jojo."Avdol called. Making all of the teenagers to turn to avdol. "The following happened four months ago, in Cairo, Egypt... I met DIO!"Avdol told them hesitantly causing kiki to grunt. "Four...months ago.."There was something flickering in her mind...with four months ago. "I am a fortune teller by trade. I have a shop is souk called Khan el-Khalili. It was the night of a full moon. He...stood quietly on the stairs that led up to my shops second floor. His gaze felt as if it was trying to stealthily pierce my heart. His golden hair, his near transparent alabaster skin, and his strange sensuality made it hard to believe he was a man. I had heard about him from Mr. Joestar, so I knew immediately that he was dio, back from the Atlantic's depths! It was then I found him truly terrifying. His words brought such peace to my soul. They had dangerous sweetness. That's exactly why he was terrifying! I ran for my life. I didn't dare thinking of fighting him. I was very lucky. Because i had heard about DIO and realized it was him, i was able to immediately jump out of the window. I knew the labyrinthine souk below like the back of my head , so i was able to escape. Otherwise I would've ended up like this young man, made into one of his followers through a flesh bud."Avdol grunted.

"You would've died a few years later, your brain completely devoured."Joseph sighed until jouko and jotaro walked up to Kakyoin "Died?"They asked "Hold in there! Kakyoin here..." "isn't dead yet!"Jouko and jotaro both summoned their stands "we'll pull it out using our stands."Jouko said with confidence to Joseph. Jouko held kakyoins head in place while jotaro used his stand. "Wait jotaro!"Joseph and avdol stood up in shock. "Old man! Don't touch me.  I'll pull it out without harming his brain. My stand can move with such precision that it can grasp even a bullet."Jotaro explained. "Stop! That flesh bud is alive! Don't you realize why part of the flesh bud is outside of his body? Thats why not even the best surgeon could extract it!"Joseph yelled.

But jotaro put on a hard head and did anyways. The moment his stand grabbed it, one of the tentacles got out and went into jotaro's hand. "Shit!"Joseph cursed. "The flesh bud stabbed him with a tentacle! This isn't good! Let go!"Avdol yelled at jotaro
"It will try to enter the brain of anyone who tries to extract it!"Joseph insisted him to let go.
Kakyoin woke up his eyes widening. "You."Kakyoin chocked out. "Don't move, Kakyoin. If i fail, your brain is done for."Jotaro warned  Kakyoin. While Kiki had ran off somewhere quietly. Kiki was staring into her reflection in a pond...muttering over and over about four months. With a blink of an eye. Kiki saw blood on her head and on her hands from the reflection on the pond. Causing her to gasp.

Four months ago...

Kiki was living happily with her parents babysitting her siblings, Kaien, Kage and Kyutsu was their name, Kiki was the oldest. While her parents went on a date. They were all having fun too. but then for dinner Kiki had to grab a bucket of water from the pipe outside near a pond. It was night but Kiki didn't mind.Kiki grabbed a bucket and went outside near the pond. Near the pond there was a pipe, Kiki often fetched water from there since Kiki was the oldest and her siblings were too small to do it, she had too. Kiki opened the pipe letting the water fill up the bucket. While it did Kiki walked over to the pond looking in her reflection smiling. After a while Kiki heard the bucket starting to overflow with water. Kiki immediately turned it off and carried it back to the house but when kiki got there. The light were closed...and it was quiet..'Did they go to sleep already?'Kiki asked herself in thought but...the moment Kiki opened door she was faced with a terror. Her siblings all dead. Kiki immediately seeps in fear stepping inside...

"What happened..."Kiki asked loudly struggling to breath, hyperventilating. "This...can't be!"Kiki cried dropping the bucket running inside it was full of blood and her siblings all murdered. Kiki hugged her sibling's crying letting the blood stain her. "Kaien...Kage...Kyutsu...i...I'm sorry..."Kiki chocked out  letting them go. Kiki saw a knife near them, it belonged to the person who murdered her siblings. Kiki grabbed it, but as the knife was in her hand blood on her everywhere her parents were home. "Kids we're back!"Kiki heard her father open the lights but they were met with a terror. Kiki was covered in blood Holding a knife with her siblings all dead... Her mother screamed. "WHAT! What have...You done! You monster!"Her Father yelled hitting Kiki. "kiki.. Kiki!..

"KIKI!"

Kiki snapped out of it turning to yelling. It was jouko calling out for her. "C..."Kiki couldn't even say a word...what happened just now? Kiki walked up to jouko a little pale. "Are you okay? You look pale"Jouko asked kiki laughed awkwardly scratching the back of her neck avoiding eye contact. "nothing..."Kiki replied with a sheepish smile "i asked if you are okay?"Jouko asked confused by Kiki's reponse "oh uh yeah.."kiki nodded. "Hm..."Jouko turned away.. "Kiki, do you want to stay for the night?"Holly asked. "Is it fine?"Kiki asked. Jouko turned to Holly "It would be wonderful if you stayed!"Holly smiled.
