The Last Pillar.

Chapter Sixty-six: buggy friend

(Y/n) was allowed to walk around town by Santana after he found about the other pillars staying behind as ghosts. Her golden sandals tapped on the pavement as she walked along the sidewalk to play in town, her mood was high as she knew that she could talk to her uncles again and finally had a relationship with her mother. She felt a small presence brush past her legs. She looked down and saw a bug like thing. The small pillar picked it up, it was purple and gold in color. The bug wriggled in her hands, it was a stand! The little girl saw more running around with stamps and money. Her red eyes returned to the one she held, she dug a candy from her bag and held it up to the stand. "I want you to give this to your user.," the girl said and let the bug go. The stand ran away with the little candy in its small hands.
The little plum haired girl smiled, she was glad that she bought that small pack of candy. But now she was out and needed to get more. The little girl headed to the convenience store. She looked up and saw her uncles looking down at her before she headed in. She purchased the candies and a drink. The drink she was going to have in the park. It was a nice day to relax. She waved to her uncles and Reimi before going to the park to play.

Her sandals tapped as she ran on the sidewalk pavement. The sun was kissing her skin as she ran to the park. She jumped into a tree to drink her special drink. The little girl took the top off of the drink and took a sip. It was sweet and cold. It was wonderful in the warm weather, her small face had a sweet smile on it. She was in her traditional garb and accessories to show her stepbrother. It was very comfortable to move in. It was a lovely day in Morioh, the child was happy. That was, until she remembered that there was a murderer on the loose. Her smile dropped. Reimi suffered because of the vile man that was killing women.
(Y/n) wished to be able to help. The little pillar took another sip of her drink when she heard a laughing noise. A rotund human was walking up to the tree she was in and sat down with empty tins. He kept laughing. A male human, perhaps a middle schooler? He was round and had a odd hairstyle. The young pillar focused with her horns and felt a stand power coming from the boy. She did not know if he was friendly like Tonio, or an enemy like the one that killed Josuke's grandfather. She finished her drink and tossed it with great accuracy into the nearby trash bin. The boy was surprised by the sudden noise. He was even more surprised by the appearance of the little girl landing on the ground beside him with great metal wings behind her.

The boy fell back, his blue eyes wide in what seemed to be awe. The girl's red eyes accented by the red jewels that decorated her circlet and chiton scanned over the boy. Her horns stuck put from her hair and shone in the afternoon sun. This boy did not have any aggressive motives that she could sense. She looked back to see the bugs from before were surrounding her and the boy. He still seemed to be in awe. (Y/n)'s stand's wings stayed out and splayed behind her as she observed the bugs. "This is your power?," She finally asked the boy. "Yes. You can see them?," the rotund child asked. "I can. Like you can see my power's wings.," the young pillar replied, "What is your name?" The chubby human seemed stunned before he spoke again, "I'm Shigekiyo Yangu, I'm 13 years old, 110 kgs, my mommy calls me Shigechi."
"My name is (y/n). I am 4219 years old. I don't know how much I weigh. My parents are dead, so I live with my guard.," the plum haired pillar child spoke, "My family have stayed around as ghosts." This 'Shigechi' did not seem to know whether or not she was joking around. She did seem to be quite powerful. "Does this mean that we are friends?," the round boy asked. The red eyed girl looked back to him after picking up several of his stand, "I guess we are."

"Then, you can come to my house and see my pet turtle!," the boy exclaimed excitedly. His stand started to throw money they picked up into the cans that Shigechi brought. The plum haired pillar watched him and his stand gather all of the coins. "You have a turtle?," the little girl asked. Shigechi nodded with glee, "Yes, his name is Gonta!" (Y/n) was interested in the turtle. She got her interest in animals from her father. She agreed to go to the boy's home. It was on the way to Josuke's. It was a modest sized home with a warm grey color scheme and pretty flowers around it. The red eyed girl followed behind her round new friend. His mother answered the door. She was pretty, for a human. Not as pretty as Ivory, though.
The boy introduced the little girl to his mother. (Y/n) gave her a polite bow. She could see immense joy in the eyes of this woman, she was probably happy that her son had found a friend to interact with. Shigechi showed the little girl his room and his turtle. It was a pond turtle. The little reptile was very cute and friendly. It splashed and swam around in his aquarium. "He's really cute. These live a long time, up to forty years. They are really good companions for humans, not as good as a cat or dog, but they are good regardless.," the young pillar spoke, "I wonder if Daddy would have let me get a turtle."
