(Jojo / Jjba X Reader) A 7TH Stand User Joins The Party

 No one else sounded like that... it... it had to be him!

You pulled out of Kakyoin's arms, looking over in that direction for a moment before taking off running in the direction of the voice.

You could hear Kakyoin behind you, running just as fast as you were.

The water soon came to view, and so did Jotaro. You and Kakyoin got there just in time to see Jotaro hoisting a beaten man up onto the edge of the pier.

"Jotaro...-" you came closer, reaching down your hand to help him onto the walkway.

He looked at your hand, muttering something under his breath before taking it and climbing up. He was soaked...

"Hey, are you okay?" you asked looking up at him, "were you injured? Let me see-" you said, trying to examine him.

"(y/n), I'm fine." Jotaro brushed you away, not meeting your eyes.

"Don't lie to me, Jotaro! I saw the blood in that gondola! I can see that you're bleeding now!" you protested,

"That was from a dog."

"Huh?"

"The blood in the gondola. It was from a dog."

"A... a dog?!

"Yeah." Jotatro was already walking away from you with his hands in his pockets.

Kakyoin just shrugged his shoulders at you, starting to trail after Jotaro.

You just let out a huff. If he wanted to be so hard-headed then fine! You started following them back to the hotel, lips pursed.

After a couple minutes of walking, Jotaro let out a sigh. "I know who will be coming after us next." he said, "Death, the Empress, the Emperor, and the Hanged Man... but that bastard wouldn't spill their stands powers... I'll talk to Avdol when we get back."

You nodded, brow furrowing. Four assassins... would you really be okay?

Well... Jotaro did seem to be able to take one of them head on by himself... surely the rest wouldn't be so bad?

Once you returned to the hotel, Jotaro went to talk to Avdol and Joseph, leaving you and Kakyoin alone in the lobby.

"Uh, hey, thanks for comforting me earlier... I didn't mean to get all emotional on you..." you said, rubbing the back of your head. "Everything turned out okay, so I'm okay now.."

Kakyoin shook his head. "Don't worry. I was just as worried as you were." he said, "you shouldn't apologize for your natural emotions." he said, smiling gently.

You nodded, laughing awkwardly, "right... well, I'm gonna head up and finish packing my stuff..." you said, glancing over at a clock that was on the wall, "we've only got a couple hours before our train leaves." you gave a little wave, heading up the stairs towards your room.

You unlocked the door to go inside your room and went in. it sounded like Polnareff was still sleeping, so you decided to get in the shower again. You were sweaty from all the running, so it would definitely be relaxing.

You washed yourself quickly, getting out and dressing in a new set of clothes. When you came out of the bathroom, you could hear a soft whimpering noise.

Was Polnareff.... Crying?

"Polnareff...?" you asked gently, slowly coming around the side of the bed, unsure if you should even interrupt. He didn't respond, actually... It looked like he was asleep?

You sat on the edge of the bed, reaching over to gently touch Polnareff's shoulder. He was mumbling something in his sleep, tears dripping down his cheeks.

"She...rry.... No.... d-don't-"

You bit your lip, gently shaking his shoulder, "Pol... Polnareff-" you tried to wake him.

He awoke with a gasp, sitting straight up. "Ah- oh... (y/n)... what's wrong?"

"I think I should be asking you that... you were crying in your sleep... who's Sherry?" you asked gently, grabbing a tissue to gently wipe Polnareff's tear stained cheeks, "You were saying her name in your sleep..."

"Sherry? Oh... Sherry was my sister.." He said, taking the tissue from you.

"Was?" you asked gently.

"She was murdered... by a man with two right hands." he said. You could see his fists clenching with rage. "She was beautiful... she was mon chéri.... ma sœur... " he muttered, placing his face in his hands for a moment. "I swore I would avenge her death... that's why I joined the crusaders... I'll kill him... I'll kill that man if it's the last thing I do...."

You nodded, "its an honorable goal... getting revenge for what happened? I admire that..." you said, gently touching his arm.

He looked over at you, giving a smile. "Thank you..."

You moved to stand up. "I have to finish packing. We're leaving in a couple hours." you said.

"Yeah. I'm eager to get on the road again."
