Knockin' On Heavens Door

Prologue: Explanation

       Let me start with a bit about myself. Hi, I’m (f/n). My father was one of the Stardust Crusaders back in the day, so he was absent from my childhood for a long time. Luca, that's his name. When he came back he found out my mother died in the Hospital a month before he returned, devastated, we  moved to Japan when I was quite young. I went from Ocean City New Jersey in America to the city of Osaka. Quite the change I know right? But most importantly my last year of high school was spent at the small town of Morioh. Met some of the coolest people there that year I graduated in the 90s, but my best friend was this girl named Ao Yuki. She had shoulder length black hair and the prettiest Blue eyes. I’m bi so I will admit I did have a crush on her, but she loved cats. Now cat’s are bad luck for me, tremendous bad luck for me. Because it was July, summer of 1997. Ao and I were walking the colorful streets of Morioh at night because she desperately needed to get cat food as all we did was bum around that day and her mother told her deliberately to pick up some before she came home. I waited for her to come out, but she never did. SO I walked to the front of the store, believe it or not it wasn't even open. There was this pearly white cat by the alley I was waiting for her all that time. I followed it into the alley, and saw the most horrific thing. Ao’s body was bloodied and in shock, but most importantly, her left arm was cut off. Allowing her to bleed to her death. If I had looked behind me sooner, I could have saved her I bet. But who knows man. . . That night I ran, I ran as hard as I will ever in my life. I ran home packed my car and told Luca we were moving back to Osaka. Which he still had a vacation house at. We lived there for two years until 1999. I got into therapy as soon as I got there, and never did attend college. As it would be unfair to Ao. Luckily I had started a business in photography and was selling wall photos of all shapes and sizes for good money. Plus Luca was fuckin rich from being a scientist who traveled the world, even before with the Crusaders. 

    Today is the day though. I unpacked my stuff for my new apartment in Morioh. Yes I’m back, because I’m not afraid now. I’m going to get revenge for Ao. If it’s the last thing I do. You see, my greatest fear is being weak or behind everyone else like I was in school. Was never good in there but, yaknow. Because of this I started Boxing back in Osaka and still go to the gym to keep in shape. So when I got my stand that night I wasn't very happy to find out, It’s nothing combat based. 

    So here we are currently. It’s sTanDiNg hA hA, in front of me. It looks like a succubus honestly, long blond hair, tall, wearing little to nothing besides a black bra and panties with chains all over it’s white body. Well, I have asked Luca about it before so this isn't a complete surprise. Let’s see if she talks. 
“ Uhh, hi so uhm are you my stand thing?”

Then it speaks too 

“ Stand thing is incorrect, just a stand. My name is Nirvana and it is a pleasure to serve you (f/n) (l/n)”

“ Cool so you know my name so uhh what's your power? I’ve always wanted to breath fire so can I request that?”

It replies kind of sarcastically. “ Unfortunately you cannot request powers. But I can show you.”

Then all of a sudden this 7’0 foot behemoth puts me on it’s shoulders and starts running.  I’m so glad it’s night because i’m kinda freaking the hell out on the inside and I don’t need people seeing this. The wind is kinda nice though from the shore line as we run down the street, past the bepis sign and into a graveyard not far off the main roads. But now this creates even more questions. 

“ Why are we here?” I ask

“To test us.” She says and grabs my hand. Setting a ablaze 

“WOAH WTF DUDE CAN YOU NOT!” I screech.

Nirvana covers my mouth and I try to bite her but it doesn't work. “ Calm down, notice it’s not burning your hand.” I nod
“ Now I want you to touch this gravestone.” 

Remi Sugimoto

I touched it with my flaming hand, then all was dark.

I wake up in the clouds far from the ground. Nirvana is nowhere to be seen. Am I fuckin dead? What the f-

“ Excuse me, who are you?” 

I hear a girls voice that frightened me so I quickly spun around. This girl, I assume she was the one from the grave I touched. She was shorter than me by a few inches as I’m admittedly pretty tall. Lovely pink hair I must say.  

“ So then, are you Reimi Sugimoto perhaps?” 

There was a pause but the girl responded “ Yes that would be me, I saw you down there by my grave, I guess you have some sort of speaking to the dead abilities?”

“ Yeah seems like it, wish the thing took me to Ao’s grave though. She was my friend that was murdered a few years ago, arm was * whoop* chopped off or some shit.”

This caught Reimi’s attention, she grabbed my hands clasped them together. Then she whispered under her breath head low, ‘ then we died of the same man’. And now I understand why Nirvana took me to this girl.

“ I came back for vengeance for her, but if you were also killed by them I have no problem at all avenging you too,” I say confidently. 

“Then come back tomorrow and I will tell you all you need to know."
