Philophobia (Jotaro Kujo X Reader)

Chapter One

"Where are you going!?"
"Get back here!!"
"Ha ha, you coward!"

Books clutched tightly in your arms, you sprint down the walkway in hopes to outrun the group of students chasing you. Your heart is beating out of your chest and tears sting your eyes. Things like crumpled up paper and rocks fly past your head. You glance back for a second before colliding into something. You fall on your back into a puddle, your uniform now drenched with muddy water. You look down at yourself and panic when you see your books face down in the puddle. A large crowd of girls erupt into laughter, pointing and mocking you.

Gelotophobia...

Ignoring the tears streaming down your face, you sit up on your knees and pick up your books as the girls make fun of you.
"Shut up!" A loud voice exclaims, causing you to flinch and the girls to go silent. "Your laughing is obnoxious! Get out of here!"
Almost immediately, you hear the sound of excited giggling fade away. You slowly look up at who the voice belongs to, and are shocked by who it is.
"J-J-Jotaro Kujo?!" Your voice shakes as you sit in a puddle in front of the most popular— or infamous— boy in school.
"Good grief..." Jotaro sighs, tilting his head down to look at you, "you need to watch where you're going."
When it sinks in that you bumped into him, you're absolutely mortified. "I-I-I-I'm so sorry—"
You stop talking when you see a hand extended in front of you.
"Get up." Jotaro lifts his head back up, his hat casting a shadow over his eyes. "That cut on your elbow is going to get infected."
You look down at your arm to see that it is bleeding. Hesitantly, you place your hand in Jotaro's and he pulls you up. His strength catches you off guard and you fall into his chest again.
"I-I'm s-sorry!!" You quickly step away from Jotaro before crouching down to pick up your ruined books. Jotaro steps in front you to pick them up from the puddle. You both stand up and you look up at him. Before you can thank him, he walks past you and dumps them in a nearby trash can. You gasp in shock. "M-my textbooks!! I-I need th-those!"
Jotaro stands in front of you and takes off his backpack, holding it out to you. "Take it. We're in the same classes, and I don't need my books."
You look down at the backpack and take it, pulling the straps onto your shoulders. "Th-thank you, J-Jotaro..."
"Don't mention it." Jotaro looks down at his leg, which you just now realize is bleeding, then looks back up at you. "We should both head to the nurse. And you could get a new uniform while you're there."
"Y-yeah..." you say.
You and Jotaro begin walking up the steps to the nurse's office, Jotaro clutching what looks like a white and green handkerchief. As you walk next to each other, he looks down at you and breaks the silence.
"By the way," he says, "I didn't hear your name."
You stifle a sigh of relief. You're bullied by almost everyone in school, so it's a relief Jotaro doesn't know who you are. "M-my name is {Y/N} {L/N}... I-It's nice to m-meet you, J-Jotaro..."
"Jojo is just fine."
When you get there, the nurse patches up your elbow and gives you a clean uniform. You walk to the bathroom to change. You lock the door behind you and turn on the light, peeling off your wet uniform and throwing it on the floor. While putting your clean shirt on, you hear yelling from the other side of the door. You quickly get dressed, pick up Jotaro's backpack, and open the door. You gasp when you see a pen stabbed into the eye of another student. Blood sprays everywhere. You back up against the wall, heart racing.

Hemophobia...

You let out a loud scream, causing Jotaro to whip his head around to look at you.
"Get out of here," he barks at you, "it's not safe." You want to run, but you're paralyzed with fear. The nurse wrenches the pen out of the student's eye and turns around to look at you, mouth frothing and pupils pinpoints. She begins to sprint over to you, but Jotaro grabs her wrist. The pen digs into his cheek, causing blood to drip down his face. You cover your mouth with your hand in shock, fearing for Jotaro's safety. Out of the corner of your eye, you see somebody sitting on the windowsill.
"J-Jojo!!" You exclaim, pointing at the window. Jotaro looks at you, then looks at the boy sitting on the windowsill.
"Hey. Short time no see." The boy sits up and looks at Jotaro, a wooden marionette puppet his hand. "My Stand possesses that nurse and is controlling her. Attacking my Stand will mean hurting that nurse, Jojo."
"You bastard..." Jotaro growls through gritted teeth, "just who the hell are you?!"
The boy sits up slightly. "I told you. I'm Noriaki Kakyoin. The name of my Stand is Hierophant Green." The puppet Kakyoin holds raises its right hand. "I am human, but my loyalty is to him... Therefore, I shall kill you!!"
The nurse lunges at Jotaro, howling like an ape and her shirt ripping open. She digs the pen deeper into his face, causing blood to spray everywhere. Jotaro manages to get a hold on the nurse and pulls her face to his, planting a kiss on her lips. You and Kakyoin look on in disbelief and confusion. Jotaro pulls away, gasping for air as a large purple man-like figure appears out of thin air, holding in its mouth the head what looks like a glowing green humanoid figure with a snake body.
"I won't hurt her," Jotaro says. The muscular purple figure pulls the green figure from the nurse's mouth. "Now that I've dragged it out... I see... It's just a sleazy Stand that can't do anything but possess people."
"A-are those... S-S-Stands...?" You mutter to yourself. The purple Stand bites down on the green Stand's head, causing Kakyoin to wince in pain. The purple Stand yanks it out of the nurse's mouth, grabbing its head and wrapping its fingers around its neck.
"Kakyoin," Jotaro says, "this is your Stand? All green and striped... It looks like a shiny melon." You hold back a giggle at Jotaro's comment and look over at Kakyoin, who looks like he's in even more pain.
"You're going to regret dragging that out of her, Jojo."
"Don't try to act tough. If I go ahead and crush your Stand's head like a melon, it looks like your head will be crushed, too." Jotaro turns to look at Kakyoin. The purple Stand tightens its grip and Kakyoin lurches forward in pain. "I'm gonna keep a grip on you for a while. I'll take you to the old man. I'm sure he'd love to meet you... And I'd like to know more about DIO myself."
Suddenly, the window slams shut and liquid oozes to the floor from the green Stand's hand.
"I already told you, Jojo..." Kakyoin says, "that you would regret this. Feel the attack of my Stand, Hierophant Green!"
"Don't make any weird moves!" Jotaro shouts. Liquid sprays out of Hierophant Green's hands and green gem stones begin flying towards Jotaro.
"Emerald Splash!" Kakyoin yells as Jotaro's Stand is blown backwards, sending Jotaro with it. He slams through the door, blood gushing from his mouth. You cover your head to avoid being hit by rubble. When you move your hands, you see Jotaro laying on his back, the edges of his lips dripping with blood.
"J-J-Jojo!!" You cry out, running towards him before stopping yourself.
"What do you think?" Kakyoin says, stepping in front of you. "Emerald Splash... What looked like the bodily fluids of my Stand, Hierophant Green, was a vision of destructive energy! It's pierced through your Stand's chest. Therefore, your insides have been torn to shreds."
"J-Jojo... P-please wake up..." you beg. As if on command, Jotaro lifts his head up slightly.
"And that nurse..." Kakyoin looks over at the nurse, who is on her knees, convulsing. She suddenly throws herself to the floor and blood sprays everywhere. You gasp and back away.
"Wh-what...?" Jotaro sits up and looks at her. "I'm certain that I removed the Stand from her..."
"I already told you..." Kakyoin interrupts, "attacking my Hierophant Green would mean hurting her. My Stand can reach further than yours, but it doesn't like open spaces. It prefers to hide within something. If you drag it out, it gets angry. That's why, when it came out from her throat, it hurt her. It's your fault, Jojo! This is your responsibility! This is your fault, Jojo! You did this! If you had let me kill you in the first place, this nurse wouldn't have been hurt."
"D-d-don't listen to him, J-Jojo!" You shout. "G-give him what he d-deserves!!"
Jotaro clutches the broken wall and slowly lifts himself up, taking a few steps closer to Kakyoin.
"You're trying to stand up?" Kakyoin sneers. "But how sad... If I were to compare you to something, it'd be a sandbag in front of a boxer. You stood back up only to be hit again."
Jotaro stands over the nurse's body with confidence. "I, Jotaro Kujo, am labeled a punk. I tend to overdo it with my opponents in fights, so much that some are still in the hospital. There was one idiot teacher who was all talk, so I taught him a lesson, and he hasn't come back to school. At restaurants that served me lousy food, I leave without paying the bill all the time. But... Even I know nauseating evil when I see it. Evil is when you use the weak for your own gain and crush them under your foot. Especially a woman!" Jotaro points his finger at Kakyoin, raising his voice. "That is exactly what you've done! Your Stand isn't visible to the victim or the law. Therefore... I shall judge you!"
Kakyoin smiles slyly at Jotaro. "Evil? There, you are wrong. Evil refers to the loser. Justice refers to the victor. The last man standing!" Hierophant Green begins to manifest itself behind Kakyoin. "The method doesn't matter!! The loser is the evil one!"
Hierophant Green's tentacles shoot towards Jotaro and he runs out of the way, knocking a table towards Kakyoin. Hierophant Green catches the table before it can hit him, breaking it in half and honing in on Jotaro. Without thinking, you throw Jotaro's backpack on the floor and run in front of the oncoming tentacles, allowing yourself to get tied up instead of Jotaro.
"{Y/N}!" He shouts. The pressure constricts your frail body, making it hard to breathe. You gasp for air, kicking the air and clawing at the tentacles.
"Oh?" Kakyoin sneers. "Looks like someone stepped in to save you, Jojo. How poetic— Ghk!!" He steps backwards and grips his right leg. You somehow managed to make a large gash in Kakyoin's thigh, even though your nails aren't even that sharp. Jotaro and Kakyoin look at you in disbelief. You're unsure why.
"What!?" Jotaro exclaims.
"Just the more reason to kill her, too! And now, the final blow!" Kakyoin exclaims, Hierophant Green in a battle stance. "Emerald Splash!!"
You squeeze your eyes shut, but open them when you see Jotaro's Stand in front of you. It blocks the emeralds from hitting you and throws them to the floor. You look over at Jotaro. "J-Jojo!! You... y-you saved me!"
"Impossible! He shrugged off the Emerald Splash?" Kakyoin shouts, baffled.
"It looks like you're the evil one after all!" Jotaro exclaims, sending his Stand after Hierophant Green. His Stand grabs Hierophant's neck and throttles it, violently shaking it back and forth like a dog would shake a toy. Kakyoin spits up blood as Jotaro's Stand throws lightning fast punches, one after the other. Hierophant drops you and you fall to the floor. "The one who'll be the judge is... my Stand!"
Jotaro's Stand throws Hierophant Green into the air and punches it through the ceiling. Windows shatter and walls crumble. Blood spurts out of Kakyoin's body and he falls limply to the floor. You stare at the body from across the room, terrified.
"O-o-oh my... G-G-God..." you squeak.
Jotaro steps defensively in front of you. "You just caught it by surprise and hurt its chest a little. Lucky for me, it's not a weak Stand, but I have a feeling it'll become more violent." He sighs and wipes the blood off his cheek, walking over to you and kneeling down. "That was close. Are you hurt?"
"N-n-no... W-what... h-happened...?" You look up at Jotaro with scared eyes. You grab his backpack and cling to it. He helps you up, arm wrapped around you, and picks up Kakyoin's body.
"We need to leave." He looks down at you. "I'll have the old man explain everything. But you and Kakyoin have some explaining to do." Jotaro hops out of the open window and grabs onto you, lifting you from the nurse's office and onto the ground in front of him. You put on Jotaro's backpack and walk out of the school next to him.
