The Last Pillar.

Chapter seventy-nine: The killer

(Y/n) finished the interview with Rohan, the mangaka was very interested in Avalon. The stand was not as excited with meeting the mangaka. The mangaka was not very happy to see Josuke approach after the interview. The tiny pillar was hanging onto her father turned stand when her stepbrother arrived. Josuke was challenging Rohan to a game. The pompadour sporting teen shooed the plum haired pillar away from him, "Hey, Santana is coming back, right? Why not go greet him?" Her tiny face lit up, that was right, Santana was coming back! She had to go greet Santana! The tiny girl nodded and ran off. Joyously skipping and spinning around in a happy manner, not caring about other troubles. She was getting Santana back! Her little feet tapped on the sidewalk as she ran, getting closer to the drop off point that Santana would be at.
She was so happy to be able to see the last other pillar. She saw the taxi car and a cloaked figure get out. The figure paid the taxi driver and picked up a box that he had with him. "SANTANA!," the little girl yelled put before jumping onto the huge man. Her tiny body clung to his large one. Santana's scarlet eyes looked down at the tiny girl on his chest. "I was only gone one day.," the man said, "I would have been back sooner, but I was needed for a few other things."

Santana let the small girl climb up onto his shoulder as he walked to the hotel and walked in, he was greeted by the staff he was familiar with. He gave them a polite bow and walked back to his room with the child hanging on his shoulder. The large pillar man unlocked the door and went in. He let the child off of his shoulder and had her sit on one of the couches next to the coffee table. "I'm sorry that I did not get back sooner. But I was able to get something for you.," the vermillion haired pillar man said. He set the box down on the coffee table and opened the top as she leaned forward to look in the box. It was assorted treats. "I remembered what I liked when we went out to try some human food and desserts, I thought it might be a good treat.," the vermillion haired man spoke with his usual soft tone.
He took the treats and laid them out. Some traditional wagashi, some donuts and a small roll cake. "The humans at the Tokyo branch gave me some suggestions when we got them.," Santana said and popped one of the treats into his mouth. (Y/n)'s little hands reached for the rabbit shaped rice cake she saw, it was cute. Avalon's wings faded in and carefully picked up the cake before giving it to the child and disappearing. "You're getting better with your stand.," Santana commented and yawned, "I'm glad." The tiny pillar child tilted her head at her guardian, he was getting sleepy. "Santana, do you need to sleep?," the little girl asked. "I can stay awa-," he began but was interrupted by his own yawn. (Y/n)'s little red eyes looked at him as she nibbled the little bunny shaped rice cake. It was soft once her little teeth sank into it. It also had some sweet paste in the middle of it.

"We can sleep for a while. I don't think I've slept well for a while. Only a night at a time.," the child spoke. "Living around humans must have done that to you. You're still growing, you need your sleep.," Santana said and got up to brush his teeth and get ready for bed, "We'll sleep for a few days then wake up. If Jotaro needs us, he can come wake us up." (Y/n) put the other sweets into the mini fridge after she finished her rice cake and went to brush her teeth. The small girl brushed her teeth then her hair, her little doll was in her arms as she did so. The doll she treasured so much. She was feeling a little sleepy too. Who knew that having a stand would use so much energy? She got up onto the bed and snuggled Santana's big warm torso. His already sleeping face got a little softer in expression after feeling the other .
She fell asleep soon after She snuggled Santana. They would get all the rest they needed. When they woke, they would have more treats to have. They could even share the treats with their friends. The covers were pulled over the two sleeping pillars, Ivory had come to see them. A smile was on her sweet face, she wanted to speak to her child again and see Santana. Yet she came at a bad time. "Oh well. Maybe next time.," the woman smiled, "I can always go see one of the other stand users in this town." Her ivy green eyes shined as she disappeared.
