Life is confusing.

Jotaro has just killed a vampire guy to save his mother and his friends are dead. Well, there is Polnareff.

Maybe it the blood loss or head trauma that he can hear faint whisper.

Transfer blood from DIO body to Joseph and restart his heart!

Vampire blood, Jotaro heard story about it years ago, when he was still a pure cute innocence sweet little boy. It can force people back to “life”, worst case as zombie, best case as vampire. Jotaro is upset but ultimately understand that dead people should stay dead, even if they can return as completely normal human, he will not bring people back to life. Life is shitty so it not like there is anything to regret to be honest.

DO IT! His soul has been returned, Hamon will make sure Joseph remain human. If you don’t then certainly someone from the Speedwagon Foundation can put a Stone Mask on him.

Jotaro: “…” Start to pump Joseph Heart using Star Platinum.

Joseph actually wakes up, but the atmosphere turns menacing.

“You fool, Jotaro! Thanks to you, I live again!”

Did DIO somehow take over Jiji body?

Jotaro feels like having a heart attack right there, but no one can stop DIO then, so he calls forward Star Platinum one more time. That whisper must be one of DIO follower’s Stand power…

“Wait, Jotaro! I’m kidding! I’m just kidding!”

See, he is fine.

This imaginary voice again.

Oh, and since the Underworld officials decide they can’t handle DIO, he will stay with you. Have fun \~ Bye!

Wait, WHAT?

Jotaro can see DIO’s transparent boby in front of him now. At least he can be sure that Jiji is really “joking” and not DIO with perfect acting skill. Definitely. Definitely. Definitely?

Can he rest now?

No!

He has a reputation to up hold, especially because DIO is here.

On a second thought…

*Faint*

“…”

“…”

“…”

“OH MY GOD!”

“Mr. Kujo!”

“These injures, how did he manage to stay conscious that long?”

“Don’t just stand there, do something!”

DIO is just floating there, still hasn’t finished to process WTF just happens.

First, he got killed by a 17 years old human boy. Thing should not had end that way, DIO surpass Jotaro in every aspect. He reject humanity for a reason, and vampire is obliviously superior to human in very way, Jotaro doesn’t even has hamon. And while Star Platinum is an impressive Stand with the same ultimate to stop time, it ability is still inferior to that of The World.

DIO wasn’t supposed to lose, but he still lost anyway.

And then he died.

And now he is here, as a ghost?

How in the world…

Well, at least that mean he can torment Jotaro for internalty because that kid can see him.

Sadly Jotaro lost conscious before DIO can do anything.

Somehow that has taken DIO by surprise.

Jotaro is a human, of course he is going to faint (a probably die) after that kind of battle!

It is to be expected.

But DIO for some reason forgets that Jotaro is actually a “delicate human being”…

Jotaro is in vulnerable state now, but why does this fear still cling to his (DIO) chest?

Jotaro somehow don’t get traumatize from everything, people usually get PTSD after what Jotaro has just gone through. Joseph and Polnareff certainly have nightmare.

Does this mean Jotaro is just an uncaring, ungrateful jerk?

But it could always be DIO fault that Jotaro sends most of his awake time in torment that nightmare take pity on him and decide to leave his dream alone.

Probably.

Nah.

Jotaro is not a nice guy so it is his fault, certainly. DIO is evil but there is no need to blame him for everything. Jotaro almost feel bad when he consider blaming DIO.

Ignore the fact that Jotaro apparently doesn’t grief, he is still stuck with the DIO problem.

Jotaro is unsure whether DIO is actually haunting him or Jotaro has just lost his sanity and simply hallucinate everything.

Maybe…

But they only officially meet each other for 4-something-minutes, it’s not like Jotaro know enough about the guy to build a hallucination this detailed. Vampire, Ultimate Being, Stand,… and other dubious things exist, so getting haunted by the guy you kill might as well be true.

No one else can see DIO and it’s not like Jotaro can tell them. So he will just have to deal with this alone.

DIO is annoying but bearable, at least he is unlike those screeching bitch. We even come to an agreement to leave each other alone, most of the time anyway. Jotaro doesn’t want to spent the rest of his life with DIO just like DIO doesn’t want to spent the rest of his afterlife with Jotaro.

Jotaro found DIO diary.

It’s awkward to read people’s diary when their ghost is literally behind you, but whatever.

“This plan to achieve Heaven is stupid. What kind of suspicious books you read while high to even make this?” – Jotaro reads the diary and complains.

“My reseach is sound and the conclusion is perfectly correct mind you.” – DIO is hurt. He knows his diary might never have the chance to reach Pucci hand, that anyone else find it might be interested or disgusted. He didn’t expected to be called stupid. His plan is perfect, thank you very much!

“If you believe in fate then, what make you think it’s not fate that you make this plan, and whether this plan success or fail is also fated? If this pathetic attempt to control fate somehow success, how could you sure that you are not just submit yourself to another higher form of fate?” – Jotaro somehow becomes talkative, probably because of the stress (and the PTSD episodes he can never remember).

“Urr…” – Now DIO feel stupid, this is what happen when people worship you and never understand that you can be wrong too, they takes one look at your plan and agrees immediately, never notice the hole in the plan and discuss it with you so you can improve the plan together.

“Whatever, I’m going to burn this piece of stupidity and hope there is no one with a Stand can turn the ash back to the diary, or one can read the detail from my memory.” – Jotaro lights a cigarette and watches the ash scatter into the wind.

DIO remains silent.

He definitely has minion with that kind of Stand.

After filled in the report, made sure mom is healthy again, talked with Kakyoin’s parents about their son death,… Jotaro finally regains enough brain cells to notice that DIO is looking at him weirdly.

Oh, and they are in the bathroom together.

DIO is stuck with Jotaro but he can keep distance if necessary, he is just a jerk like that and stays when Jotaro soaks in bath.

DIO’s gaze is unsettling , but for what? It’s not like Jotaro care when male see his ***** body, he does go to the hot sping from time to time.

Wait a second…

Jotaro suddenly has a revelation: if DIO can do this, than he can also peek when mother takes a bath too.

With this knowledge in mind, Jotaro abandons the heavenly hot water, dries his body and puts on cloths with light speed.

He needs to get to that place NOW.

\~

“Such portent Spirit Energy… Please allow me to teach you how to use it!” – The Miko jumps and holds Jotaro hand. Jotaro barely managed to hold his instinct back to not crush her hands.

He only comes here for some paper charms, not… this.

Because supernatural stuffs are real, of course some temple is not really fake and this happen to be one of those real deal. DIO is not like normal ghost that can be purify but maybe those charm can prevent DIO from entering the bathroom. Jotaro only asks for that, but this woman offered THIS after he explained his predicament with DIO.

While people usually jump at the offer for power, Jotaro is not that kind of person. He never learns Hamon, put himself in jail when Star Platimun manifest.

A chance to become more powerful by learning Spirit Power? Nah.

Jotaro has half of mind to turn around a leave, but DIO and the bathroom!

“Sure. Don’t expect me to deal with malevolent spirits though.”

And Jotaro spent one afternoon learning how to block DIO from bath room, among other stuffs. He never realizes that the things he learned are too much.

The miko knows this kid will never come back and she cannot just let that talent to rot, so she throws everything with fast speed. She doesn’t expected Jotaro to understand everything that fast though. It’s a pity that she has to let him go at the end of the day. Maybe she should curse him so he can’t leave? Nah, at this point, he has already been more powerful than her.

Holly has been worried about Jotaro lately.

Her boy has been avoiding sleep ever since coming back from that trip to Egypt. He zones out or faints when seeing some specific things. He talk with the air when he thought no one was looking, and Holly is sure Jotaro was not talking with Star Platinum.

Jotaro seems to be in good mood today, though.

He caved some weird symbols at the bathroom door and looked very satisfy with himself.

Well, those symbols look elegant and her son is happy so Holly doesn’t mind about the damage did to the door.
