Three of Swords-JJBA Part 3

Sweet Dreams

I was really about to call this chapter "Sweet Dreams Are Made of This". Fitting name, right? Anyways, these annoying bold words are here to tell you that this is both Death 13 episodes combined. This will also be the case for the "Judgement" chapter, which is up next! Enjoy, and thank you for reading! It truly does mean a lot to me.

"Kakyoin? Kakyoin!" Scarlet shouted, shaking him awake with Polnareff on the other side. He had started screaming, turning around on the bed. He must have been having a nightmare.

His eyes shot open and he sat up, Polnareff letting go of him and stepping back. But Scarlet just grabbed his hand and looked at him, worried.

"Kakyoin, are you okay?" She asked, squeezing his hand gently, he looked at her, panting.

"You were shaking and screaming like something out of The Exorcist." Polnareff said, and Scarlet shot him a look.

"Where are we?" Kakyoin asked, and Scarlet turned back to him.

"What do you mean? We're in Yarpline. Getting the Cessna. Remember?"

Polnareff opened the window, letting all the sunlight in. Scarlet shielded her eyes, and so did Kakyoin.

"As soon as we finish breakfast, we're flying outta here." The Frenchman said. Scarlet stood up, her grip on Kakyoin's hand loosening. But his didn't let up.

"I had a terrifying dream." He explained, and Scarlet knelt back down beside him.

"Oooooo, what about? Come on, let's hear it." Polnareff walked over to the two, sitting on the bed, and his comments earned him another glare from Scarlet.

"I..I can't remember it. All I know is that it was terrifying. You two saved me when you woke me up." Kakyoin looked at Scarlet, and she smiled softly at him.

Polnareff rolled his eyes and got up, grabbing his luggage. "Don't say weird things like that, Kakyoin. You two lovebirds better hurry up and change. Don't do anything naughty!" He teased as he left the room, and the 'two lovebirds' blushed and let go of each other, Scarlet getting up and grabbing her clothes.

"I-I'm gonna change in the bathroom. I'll be quick so you can change afterwards." She muttered, and Kakyoin nodded. She glanced at him.

This was a good moment to tell him how she felt. They were alone. He could obviously use the comfort after that terrifying dream he had. But Scarlet pushed those thoughts away and rushed to the bathroom, changing out of the pajamas she bought from a woman in the town and stuffing it into a small backpack she also bought. When she finished and exited the bathroom, Kakyoin was standing there, wearing his green pants and a white tank top. Scarlet stared at his muscular figure, blood rushing to her face. He noticed her standing there and quickly put on his gakuran.

"I-I decided to just change out here. So we could walk out together." He quickly explained, and she nodded.

"Yeah, okay. Smart. Well, let's, uh..let's go, I guess." She said, walking past him and out the door, going to the lobby to meet Polnareff. Kakyoin followed, looking down at his hand.

He had already cleaned up the small scar that he had somehow gotten, but he still needed to wrap it up.

He was thankful no one noticed the blood on the sheets.

"Mr. Joestar and Jotaro are already on the plane. We're traveling 500 kilometers today!" Polnareff told them as they walked out of the hotel, done with breakfast. Scarlet sighed. At this point, boats, cars, camel riding and even regular walking was completely ruined for her. Why not add planes to that list as well?
