The Last Pillar.

Chapter Seventy-eight: aliens and patients

Josuke woke early and got up. He noticed that (y/n) was not on his chest like she usually was and Iggy was no longer at the foot of his bed. He had not slept well the previous night because he stayed up late. The British-Japanese teen went to get ready for the day, only coming back and finding that his uniform jacket was missing. He had his uniform pants on and his undershirt. Josuke looked for his jacket, "Mom! Have you seen my jacket?!" Tomoko looked into her son's room, "I have not." She herself was dressing to get to her job, "You better get yourself something to eat and get to school." The woman left her son to get ready, Josuke left his room to check the rest of the house and heard the small voice of his stepsister.
He followed the voice of his sister. It sounded like she was mimicking him and his favorite things to say. He found her in the living room in his uniform jacket, the sleeves were way too big for her tiny arms. Tomoko saw this and started to giggle from the little girl playing. "What did you say about my hair?!," The little girl mimicked Josuke's tone to Iggy and acted out like she was punching, "Dorararara!" Iggy was wagging his tail and barked at the little girl. Her little acting session was interrupted by being picked up.

"I need that back.," Josuke said to the tiny child who was wearing his jacket. She puffed her cheeks up. She did give the jacket back and pouted a little more before getting and idea and pulling something out of her bag. Josuke saw her put something else on and she started acting out someone else's life. After he got dressed, he looked down to the energetic little half pillar, "Want to come to school with me?" (Y/n) gave him a big smile and jumped up onto his shoulder and hug his head. The two left for school. Okuyasu joined them as they made their way to the high school. Josuke was yawning during the walk. The warmth he was getting from his stepsister and his not sleeping as much as he should was making him sleepy. Okuyasu was talking about how he picked up cooking and was enjoying it. The plum haired child listened to the teen talk.
The small group went the long around to school, through some fields and over a train track. Josuke yawned and stretched, "I am so tired. I should not have stayed up so late." He felt small knuckles rap on his head, "All hair, no brain." "Oi. Watch it, you know what will happen otherwise.," the teen warned. Okuyasu laughed, "I slept great!" "Good for you.," Josuke grumbled. A strange scent filled (y/n)'s nostrils. She sensed an energy nearby. A strange energy.

Okuyasu pointed to a strange pattern in the crop field beside them, "Josuke! Look! A crop circle!" "A crop circle, in Morioh? It has to be a prank.," Josuke said and looked at the crop circle. (Y/n)'s red eyes scanned it as she searched for the energy that she sensed. Josuke saw an arm in the crop circle and placed the child down, "Stay here, I see someone in it!" He and Okuyasu went to check the guy in the crop circle out. He was fine. He rose to his feet without using his arms, like some otherworldly force pushed up. The young man in the crop circle was blond with green eyes. He had a school uniform on that had space themed decorations on it. His ears were pointed at the tips and a chain extended from one of his ears to his nose.
He looked around and turned to the two teens with him, "Where... Am I?" "You're in the middle of a field.," Okuyasu answered as he and Josuke stood after they fell from being startled. "Is this Earth?," the blond asked. Josuke and Okuyasu looked a little questioning to the newcomer. (Y/n) hopped up onto a post to get a better look at this strange new person who decided to claim that he was an alien. The two teen began laughing hysterically at the blond. 'Looks like they lost it.,' the little pillar girl thought to herself and hopped off of the post, 'I'll go on my own, they'll catch up later.'

The plum haired girl's red eyes saw that the young man's green eyes looked towards her as she hopped away, bounding quickly over the countyside. 'I wonder if I can get ice cream if I get to the shop early?,' the little pillar thought to herself. She walked into the town once she got there and found the ice cream shop. It was closed. "No ice cream. Well, who needs ice cream this early anyways?," the child asked nobody in particular and kept walking. "I wonder how Haruno is. He has to be thirteen years old by now.," the pillar child thought to herself. Her plum colored hair followed her as she happily skipped through the streets. Her little red eyes looked everywhere as she wandered around. She still was exploring a city that she thought she knew where everything was. She could go see if Tonio wanted some help. She did not want to go see Caesar or Joseph, especially since Avalon still held a grudge against them.
(Y/n) hopped up onto a stone wall and looked at the people and streets below her. She saw people she recognized as other stand users. Hazamada, that one loan shark, Yukako, and others. She heard the ringing clatter of her stand's wings. "I did not call you out.," she spoke softly, "Why are you here?" "We're linked. I know when you are not feeling well.," the voice of her stand replied. "Makes sense.," the child spoke as her red eyes stayed on the humans below her. "Did you mean what you said, about caring about Jojo?," The male voice of her stand ask.
