The Joestar Protector Book 1

Courting is the Same as Dating

   " What are you reading JoJo? "

   " This is called a magazine, Y/n. Have you never seen one? "

   " Well, I came from a different time and during that time it was all about the newspaper or hearing about it through the word of mouth.  "

   " Oh, alright. A magazine is like a newspaper but it has more entertaining things in it while a newspaper is more business like. "

   " Okay. "

You, JoJo, and Smokey were sitting in a cafe drinking milkshakes when JoJo also bought a magazine to read and look at. Smokey and JoJo were teaching me about the things that were in this time. They told me that the metal horses were cars and that they run on an engine and gas. They also told me that the tall buildings were skyscrapers. They told me about everything that I didn't know about from my time and I was able to understand it all quickly. 

   " Hey, look at this. "

   " What's going on JoJo?" Smokey asked leaning forward.

   " What is it? " I asked leaning closer to JoJo.

   " Look at this here. See what they're saying? "

I looked at the article and saw some weird shape item. I read it and it said padded bras and breast pads. To make the most of an ordinary bra, touch in springy foam rubber bust pads by Miriam Gates. 

   " Do you think this is true? Can girls really make them bigger? "

He handed the magazine to Smokey and cupped his hands around his pecs. I laughed at the both of them.

   " You realize this is nothing new? "

   " What? " They both asked looking at me.

   " Yeah, it was a ladies secret that we did that. I never did it but some girls that I knew did that. Except it wasn't those pads. They filled their corsets or breast cups with tissue or fruits. This looks more comfortable though. "

   " Really! Wait did you say you never did it? Why? "

   " I just like the natural look is all. I wanted someone to court me for how I look instead of how I didn't look. "

   " Court? You mean date? "

   " Is that what it's called now? "

   " Yes. "

   " Well, I wanted someone to date me for me. "

   " Did you have a lot of men chasing after you Y/n? "

   " Not really but there were mainly two men that held my heart and I couldn't pick between them. I wasn't able to pick between them though, because I disappeared. "

   " Hmm, I'm sorry. How could you not have multiple suitors? You're gorgeous and you should have had more than just two! Holy cow if it was me then I would have chased after you too. "

I felt a red tint come to my face and I looked away from JoJo.

   " Aww JoJo stop teasing her. She's turned red. "

   " Well, of course. Who could resist these charms and looks. "

   " Oh, you hush. " I said smaking his arm.

I looked up towards the windows of the cafe and saw a man standing in the window. It looked to be Straizo. I nudged JoJo and he nodded his head at me, showing me that he sees the man in the window. 

   ' How does Straizo look so young? I know Hamon prevents some aging from coming to your features but he looks just like how he did when we fought Dio. How is that possible? Unless...he used the stone mask on himself. '

JoJo stood up from the table and I stood up with him. I told Smokey to stay in the cafe. He only nodded and we left the cafe with Smokey still inside. It was a bit cold with the weather and the crop top I was wearing wasn't helping keep me warm. I could tell I was shivering. I looked up at JoJo to see him take his jacket off and place it on my shoulders.

   " Thank you. " I wrapped myself in the jacket to keep warm.

He only nodded at me as we approached the man outside.

   " Say you look rather familiar to me, yet somehow different. Please tell me, have we possibly met somewhere before? "

The man pushed himself off of the wall and slowly walked towards us. JoJo and I walked in a circle with the man. 

   " And why isn't your breath visible? It's so cold tonight. And if my eyes aren't deceiving me I think I caught a glimpse of fangs in your mouth, just now. Was I seeing things? "

We got closer to the man but he didn't talk. He showed us his fangs and I knew that what I thought inside the cafe was right.

   " Straizo? " 

He only smirked as I said his name.

   " It's good to see you again Y/n. It's been so long but for you..." He said pointing at JoJo.

   " I'll take your life long before you ever become a danger. "

I saw Straizo get in a Hamon type of stance. Being a vampire and a Hamon user I could tell he had the upper hand on both JoJo and I. 

   " Or perhaps not. "

I saw JoJo pull out something from behind his back. I recognized it as a tommy gun from a newspaper article JoJo showed me earlier. JoJo pushed me behind him as he aimed the gun at Straizo. Bullets flew everywhere and most of them hit Straizo in his torso and chest. He flew back breaking the glass in the cafe window. I was worried for the people inside the cafe as he continued to fire bullets.

   " JoJo you might injure somebody. "

   " It's alright now. I've just ran out of bullets. "

We looked inside the cafe to see Straizo laying on the floor with steam emitting from the bullet holes. 

   " Yes, I was awaiting you, Straizo. That was on behalf of Speedwagon but I don't think you'll go down so easily. Our war has begun. "

I noticed tears were leaving Joseph's eyes. I grabbed my handkerchief and handed it to him. He accepted it and started wiping his tears away. He handed it back to me and I shed his jacket off of me. I handed his jacket back to him so he could put it on.

   " Won't you get cold? "

   " When I start using Hamon I'll warm up quickly, as for you wear the jacket since your Hamon isn't trained or strong enough to defeat him. "

JoJo only nodded as he slipped the jacket and and we faced the broken cafe.
