You were out of breath by the time you reached the pool, hunching over with your hands on your knees. You came as fast as you could from the 6th floor.
But...
Now came the real scary part. You could see him from where you stood. No question, it was definitely Kakyoin... What was going on here?
As you approached, you could see that Kakyoin looked a little annoyed.
He noticed you and smiled, "Oh, (y/n). I'm glad you're here." he said before you could ask him anything. "Did you see Jotaro at all? He was supposed to meet me here, but it's been almost thirty minutes. We were supposed to go see some of the local sights, but I feel like I'm being stood up."
You blinked, surprised. "Uh.. yeah... actually, I saw him leaving the hotel..." you trailed off, wondering if you were mistaken. The person you saw earlier sure looked like Kakyoin... but then again, you were up on the balcony... maybe it was someone else...?
"Really? Did he decide to go out without me?" Kakyoin frowned.
"No, I...I saw Jotaro leaving with you earlier. That's why I came down here." you said running a hand through your hair. "I think he could be in trouble..."
"What do you mean you saw him leave with me? What... we need to go after them!" he said, standing up and staring down at you. "Come on!" Kakyoin got up, taking off towards the hotel.
You followed after, brow furrowed.
"We need to let Mr. Joestar what's going on" he said, racing up a nearby staircase.
You followed behind to the best of your ability, but goddamn... you just got done running down the stairs... running right back up them? It was really too much...
You were wheezing by the time you reached Josephs and Avdols hotel room, panting loudly. Kakyoin, on the other hand, looked fine, and seemed like he had only come back from a leisurely walk. What was this guy made of?
He knocked on the door, "Avdol, Mr. Joestar-!"
The door opened, showing a concerned Avdol, "what's going on?" he said, looking between the two of you.
"I..." you started, just trying to catch your breath. "I saw... Jotaro leave the hotel with someone who looks like Kakyoin.. B-But...!"
Kakyoin spoke, "I was supposed to meet up with Jotaro, but I was stood up." he said, looking back at you.
Joseph appeared behind Avdol. "Do you think this is what Hermits Purple was talking about?" he asked, looking deep in thought.
Avdol nodded. "There's no mistaking it."
"We have to go help Jotaro. He's in trouble-" you protested, stepping forward.
"That's true, however.." Avdol started.
"We have no idea where they went" Joseph finished the statement, raising his arms in a shrug.
"He's right, we can't really do anything... as much as I hate to admit it, running around blindly won't do us any good..." Avdol said with a sigh.
"Wait... I might know where he went.. I said I wanted to ride the gondola lift nearby... there's a chance that Jotaro could have headed in that direction with the imposter..." Kokyoin said, brow furrowed, "we should check there."
You nodded in agreement. "Let's go-"
You turned, heading back towards the stairs, thinking briefly about how much your legs were going to ache later. All this damn running-
Kakyoin was behind you as you rushed down the stairs, your chest heaving.
You both reached the lobby soon enough, running out the front door, after which Kakyoin took the lead.
"(y/n), we shouldnt run from here on out." said Kakyoin, starting to look a little winded himself. "If we cause too much of a ruckus, the enemy might spot us first. And we need to keep an eye out in case they aren't there" he said, brushing his bang out of his face.
"I... yeah, you're right." your chest felt tight from all the running. Each breath coming out in a soft wheeze. Honestly, you wanted to keep running. The quicker you got there, the quicker you could help your team member! But... Kakyoin was right.
You caught your breath for a few moments before nodding, letting him know you were ready to keep moving.
Kakyoin turned, leading the way to where the hanging gondola station was. You weren't running anymore, but you sure were walking quickly... or maybe it was just because of how long Kakyoin's legs were...
Soon the Station came into view... you scanned the area, but you didn't see him. Where could they have gone? If they already used the Gondolas, who knows where they went! You bit your lip, feeling the panic well up in your chest.
There was a bit of commotion, as you both approached, you could see one of the gondolas had the bottom of it blown out, people pointing and talking amongst themselves...
There was blood.. You could see blood in the Gondola. Like an omen...
"I should have gone after them... I knew something was up, I should have..." you muttered, putting a hand to your head, "dammit... why didn't I follow them?! What if he's dead? What if I-" it was all your fault. If Jotaro was hurt, it was completely your fault-!
You jolted as you were suddenly pulled against Kakyoin's chest, his arms tightly around you. "It's okay. Jotaro is strong, he will be okay." Kakyoin said softly, his hand cradling the back of your head.
You were trying desperately not to cry, your teeth clenched so hard they hurt. You couldn't let a member of your team be lost from your own stupidity!
"(y/n), this isn't your fault..." Kakyoin said, as if reading your mind.
The tears spilled over, and you clutched at the front of Kakyoin's uniform, quietly, silently letting it out.
It was then you heard it, off to the side. It was a distance away, but it was unmistakable!
"ORA"
