1 Come Home

(Morioh Grand Hotel, 8:50 pm)

It's night in Morioh. I sit back in my desks chair as I run my fingers through my dark hair. I sigh heavily; I'm not tired at all.

"Yare yare daze..." I grumble to myself "Well, I have a thesis to work on....I could do that..."

An hour passes. I gave up for the night. But for whatever reason, I'm still not tired. I grumble in annoyance. I rise from my chair, but my gaze is fixed on the framed photo on the neatly organized desk. I pick up the framed photo. It's a picture of my friends from ten years ago. Gramps, Polnareff, Iggy, Avdol and....

"Kakyoin..." I say softly.

It's been ten years. Gramps said after the fight with Dio, the Speedwagon foundation members said Kakyoin disappeared from where he was dead.

"I know it was hell, but I enjoyed every moment.."

I allow myself to sit back down at the desk. I held the picture, memories of the past come back to me.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Polnareff exclaimed. "You can't be serious Mr Joestar!"

"We don't have a choice, Polnareff. We need to stay here."

"Mr Joestar! I don't want to stay in this motel! It give me the creeps!"

I sigh in annoyance as the old man and Polnareff bickered. Avdol intervened and talks to both gramps and Polnareff. Polnareff sighs, defeated.

"What's the deal, Polnareff?" Asks a familiar voice.

I look at the owner of the voice, the red head standing beside me. Kakyoin sighs and shakes his head.

"It's just a night. Then we leave. Isn't that right, Mr Joestar?" Kakyoin says.

"Exactly. So quit complaining Polnareff."

I grunt and pull my hat down to cover my eyes.

"Give me a break.." I say under my breath. "Quit this pointless nonsense. It's getting on my damn nerves"

Polnareff sighs and kicks the ground. Avdol starts talking with gramps before turning to us.

"We all need roommates. Considering Jotaro and Kakyoin are both highschool students, they'll share." Avdol says.

Me and Kakyoin both nod. Avdol goes over the roommates. Polnareff is with Avdol and gramps is alone.

"I'm gonna walk around for a bit. I'll be back."

"Huh? Jotaro? Where are you going?" Kakyoin questions.

"To walk around. Got a problem?"

Kakyoin shakes his head. I grumble and walk away.

(Flashback:Motel, 1988, 10:30 pm)

"Hey Jojo?"

I grumble and open my eyes and look at my roommate, Kakyoin.

"What is it? And why'd you wake me up? It's fucking night"

He looks worried, but yet calm at the same time. Also, he looked flustered. But it was dark. I couldn't tell for sure.

"Jojo, after we defeat Dio-" I interrupted him with a grunt. He instantly shuts up.

"Good grief. Save it for the morning. I'm damn tired"

I turn my back towards him and try to go back to sleep.

"Alright…Goodnight Jojo, and sorry"

"What did he want to say?" I questioned to myself. Ever since that night, he never said what he wanted to talk to me about. I let out a lengthy sigh and lean back in my chair. "Give me a break…"

(Flaskback, 1988)

"Noriaki Kakyoin, is dead" Those words through the radio sent shivers down my spine. My skin turned pale. My blood ran cold.

"...You there. What did that bastard say!?" I demanded, growing angry. One of the Speedwagon Foundation members looked at me and started to speak those words I dreaded to hear.

"Noriaki Kakyoin died in the battle with Dio" I pulled my hat over my eyes. I didn't want to accept this harsh truth reality brought. I felt angry. Pure rage. I was mad at Dio. I was mad at the world for making me go through this. This is a different pain from when Iggy and Avdol were killed...this is new. I feel angry. But, I feel upset as well. I don't understand.

"Jotaro." I turned to Gramps. "His death was something we could not prevent"

"Shut up, fucking old man..." I say coldly. I sat in silence. Everything around me was silent. I closed my eyes. Then I realize something. Something that will forever change me. I was in love with Kakyoin this whole time. And I was too idiotic to realize it. I realized it too late.

(Mohrio, 10: 23 AM)

"Jotaro-san" Josuke says "I found someone you might want to see. By the café over there"

"Oh? What do you mean, Josuke? Our mission is to find Yoshikage Kira. Not waste our time" Josuke looks at me, grumbles and shakes his head.

"No Jotaro-san! Look!" He makes me look at the café. Once I do, my eyes go wide. But then I pull my hat down, covering my eyes. I swore I saw a familiar face...

"I'm going ahead." I say and start to walk off.

______________

(Josuke POV)

I swear thats the guy in Jotaro-san's picture! I saw the look in his eye for just a second. I caught a glimpse. But he's in denial.

"Excuse me" says a man. It's the person I wanted Jotaro-san to see. He had short red hair, purple eyes, and cherry like earrings. He had strange scars too, covered by his sunglasses. His outfit was mostly dark green or grey.

"Yes sir?" I'm not going to lie, he kinda scared me.

"Oi! Josuke!" Okuyasu rushes over with Koichi. "Come on! We need to meet Jotaro-san!"

"Yeah! So quit standing around Josuke!" Koichi said.

"Jotaro?" Me, Okuyasu and Koichi look at this man. "How's he doing?"

___________

(Josuke POV)

"What did you say sir?" Koichi asks "You know Jotaro-san?" The man nods.

"Yeah..I have history with him. My name is Noriaki Kakyoin, I work for the Speedwagon Foundation."

"Noriaki Kakyoin!? I knew you looked familiar!" I exclaim. Mr Kakyoin invites us to his table. We accept. We take our seats. He explains that he was in a coma for three years, and when he woke up. Jotaro-san didn't know.

"Well we are going to meet him!" Okuyasu said.

"Can I tag along? I might be of some assistance."

"Um..our thing is really dangerous, you-" Mr Kakyoin frowns and takes off his glasses.

"I'm a stand user. Hierophant Green" Mr Kakyoin says. My eyes widened. I expected this, but not this quick. This man's serious. And he should not be underestimated.

"Then yeah, you can come"

"Guys. We should meet Jotaro-san" Koichi suggested "He's not very patient."

(Jotaro POV. 15 minutes later)

"So that's the story, Jotaro-san.." Josuke said. I'm shocked. A man I thought was long dead was standing right before me.

"It's good to see you, Jotaro"

"Yeah...same to you"

"We should just talk one time, you know, to catch up. Later?" I nod in agreement.
