Red eyes opened to a room before her. She had been dreaming of her two older brothers, where were they? Where was the man who adopted her? The sound of a dog barking got her attention, a small but old dog was beside her on the bed. His tongue was lolling out as his small tail wagged, 'Iggy' was on the collar he wore. "Iggy. You're a cute puppy.," the little girl said softly, "Where am I? Where is Jonathan and Dio?" The dog jumped up and started growling at the mention of Dio's name. The sweet face changed into one of great ferocity. The little girl tilted her head and puzzled over the sudden change in the dog. Her eyes looked around the room, did she somehow go to sleep and sleep for a long time period? If so, where was Jonathan and Dio? Did they die? Was she passed down their family line?
The little girl got up and walked out of the room she was in. Iggy followed her with a bark, the clicking of his claws and the tapping of his metal paw alerted a member of the house. It was a young man who came out of a room, his eyes were a blue-violet color. They had the same kindness in them as Jonathan's. His blood smelled like Jonathan's. His dark hair was put up in a odd style and he was wearing unusual clothing. The boy knelt down and spoke a language the girl did not understand.

(Y/n) tilted her head as the boy spoke. Her head hurt a bit so she rubbed her horns and eyes to wake herself up. The language finally clicked and she understood him. "Are you okay? You were wandering around aimlessly last night.," the boy inquired. "Who are you?," the little girl asked, "I am (y/n) Joestar. Is Jonathan or Dio somewhere?" The boy's face fell, "You Don't recognize me? I'm Josuke, your stepbrother." (Y/n) had a puzzled look on her small marble statue like face. Josuke seemed to be running through his mind, "I'm Jonathan's great grandson. Johnathan has been dead for many years."
He soon found this to be a mistake as tears welled up in the red eyes of the little girl before him. Iggy growled at him, almost scolding him for being stupid. Josuke scooped her up to hug her, hoping to calm her. He noticed that she was much lighter than before. She had to have been under the effect of a stand, his blue-violet eyes hardened. "Hey, how would you like to stay with me today?," Josuke asked, "I know I may not be Johnathan, but I could at least listen to some of what you like about my great grandfather and his brother." He patted her back and waited for her to calm down, he got a small and tear filled nod.

The teen held her close as he picked up a bag and put his shoes on. The small child nuzzled against his chest, her horns rubbed lightly against his shoulder. The scent of his Joestar blood must have been a little calming to her. He left his home with the child in his arms and Iggy following with a doggy grin on his face. (Y/n) held onto this new friend and looked at the bright and sunny day that surrounded them, this was not England. This was somewhere completely new! Had the Joestar bloodline spread so far as to reach a new place? The little girl climbed onto the boy's shoulders and reached up to the warm sun, the rays washed over her skin and warmed her small body.
"Oi! Josuke! (Y/n)!," Came a raspy voice. The small girl saw another teen walking towards her and her new family member. The little girl tilted her head and gave him a puzzled expression, how did he know her? "Oh, Okuyasu. Good morning. I think (y/n) is under the effect of a stand, she can't remember anything other than about her childhood with Johnathan and Dio.," Josuke spoke to the newcomer, "Santana gave her to me last night." The one named Okuyasu came closer and looked down at the dog that was now barking at him, he looked back up to Josuke and (y/n).

"Oh, really? Where is the bastard? We'll give him a good ass-kicking!," Okuyasu said with a mean-spirited grin on his face. (Y/n) gripped Josuke's head and whined, she dropped off of his shoulders to his back to hide from this violent teen boy. "I think you just scared her, Okuyasu.," Josuke spoke, "I think most of her memories have been taken, She did not even recognize Santana." The small plum haired girl did not understand any of what these boys were talking about, stands, Santana, lost memories, these did not make any sense. She dropped off of Josuke and covered her skin from the sun. Jonathan would have told her to be careful in the sun. She was sad that her brothers were no longer there, she loved them and would miss them.
From the back of her mind, there was something calling her. Her jewelry felt heavy on her tiny body, but she made herself walk. Towards what was calling her. Another person was walking the same way, against the flow of the other human children. His eyes held a dazed expression. The child followed him and shis shining silver hair. She followed him to a house.
