Walking to school, Yuno sighed in dread. “I can feel it in the pit of my gut. Something is going to go terribly wrong today.” She snapped out of her thoughts with a loud “OI, YUNO!. She saw her blue haired friend running up to her. She tightened her fist in frustration.  “I’m sorry Reiya, I'll make sure I can protect you for once.” 

Flashback

Yuno was pushed off a swing by two boys. “We told you we wanted to use the swings and you didnt move. That's what you get!" She looked down at the new sundress her dad bought. It was covered in a big dirt stain. Tears welled in her eyes as she tried to dust off. One of the kids kicked dust in her eyes. “Now get out of here! Go!” Tears fell from Yuno's face as she tried to wipe the dirt out of her eyes.

“HEY! Leave her alone!" A blue haired girl jumped off the jungle gym and trotted over the two boys."If you want to play on the swings, my mommy says you have to ask nicely and say please!” The boys snickered as they looked her up and down. “Well look what the cat spat out, a blue RAT! The bluenette clenched her fists at the insult.  The other boy started laughing. “Good one. I heard she was so poor, she had to dumpster dive like one!” She walked towards the boys, with her face dark. “Y-You guys need t-to say sorry. That's not very nice to say." One of the boys grabbed the meek girl by the hair. “Shut Up! You can't tell me what to do, you're not our mom!" He threw the girl against the ground. But made her head hit on the pole of the swings. 

She wanted to burst into tears, but before she did, she saw a heroic sight.

The bluenette had bitten the boy on the arm and drew blood. “AHHH she bit me!” The girl then pushed the boy on the ground and started wailing on him. The other boy tried to pull her off, but was met with a swift kick to the stomach. 

Eventually, the kids' parents came to break up the fight. By the time they were seperated, one of the boys had a black eye, bloody nose, and two bite marks with drips of blood coming out of them. The other boy had scratches and a bruise on his stomach. The bluenette’s hair was disheveled, although she was not harmed. And the meek girl only had one bruise on her head.”Honestly Reiya, didn't I tell you to not to stop fighting other kids?” The girl puffed out her cheeks in annoyance. “But mommy, they were bullying that girl with hazel eyes. They pushed her and dirtied her dress. A-and…” She wiped away a tear as she tried to stifle her sniffles. “They called me a poor, blue rat…” The mother shook her head and put a hand on her cheek. She walked with her daughter to the meek girl and her dad. As the parents talked, The girl looked over at the bluenette. She wore worn out capris with a tye dye shirt. Her sandals were barely keeping together. “T-Thank you for helping me. My name is Yuno. What's yours?” The girl turned to her and did a toothy grin. “Anytime! And it's Reiya! I hope to see you around!”

Present Day

Yuno saw her friend panting next to her. “I hope you weren't trying to leave me like yesterday.” She shook her head. Reiya put her hands on her knees to steady herself. “Good.” As she waited for her friend to catch her breath, she stared off towards the school. 

So many things could happen today. Best scenario, Jotaro and Kakyoin don't tell Reiya or anybody else about her ghost. Bad scenario, they tell Reiya but not the rest of the class. In exchange, we have to give them money and do their homework for the rest of high school. Worst case, they tell everyone and she gets put in an insane asylum. Or, she has to transfer schools again. What if she had to fight them? She couldn't hold off two massive teenage boys. Even Reiya with a trick up her skirt wouldn't win. 

“Deto, Deto." (What did I tell you about worrying Yuno? You're going to get wrinkles from all that stress.) Her stand emerged, floating to the side of the bluenette. Yuno tried to make her face neutral as she talked to her stand. “I'm not.” She signed as she softly fanned herself. Deto Deto.“You always were a horrible liar. I can literally hear your heartbeat. Remember we are connected.” She floated to her user and put a hand on her shoulder. “Deto. (Do not underestimate me. I will protect you and your friend)” The stand flew back into her body.
