Chapter Text
Another normal day in Mori-oh. The bright afternoon sun shining down on the downtown area filled with it's usual bustle. Businesses busy for dinner, people coming home from works, students hanging out after school. This is where we find Yukako Yamagishi and Kiyo Hirose, two high schoolers on their way from school. The two girls walk by the local cafe when something catches their attention.
"Hey, Yukako, isnt that..." Kiyo starts. Yukako turns her attention to where Kiyo is looking at. They see their friend, Okuyasu sitting by herself at the outside booth of the nearby cafe, an empty seat and table across from her. She rest her cheek on her hand as her eyes are focused on the napkin she fiddles with in her other hand.
"Okuyasu?" Yukako wondered
"I knew something was up when she said she had plans," Kiyo said "to think she was just going to hang out at the cafe"
"True, this isnt the type of place she would spend time in..."
"Hey! Okuya-"
They both look to the cafe door to see a handsome young man with a high school uniform and pompadour, he walks out with a tray of food and drinks in his hand.
"EEUGH?! What the- Yukako, isnt that-"
"That guy's in my class! We gotta get a closer look!" Kiyo pulls Yukako along to hide behind a nearby tree, peering around it and listening closely as they spy on their friend.
The aforementioned delinquent sets the tray on the table Okuyasu sits at, "Sorry for the hold up, line was a bit longer than expected," He says
"It's no problem, but... you really didnt have to get me anything, Josuke" Okuyasu responded "I cant pay you back now but just give me the receipt and I'll pay you back when I get the money,"
"Geez, how many times I gotta tell you it's fine," Josuke takes his seat across from the girl and huffs "I already throw out the receipt, so it doesn't matter,"
"Well, if it's alright with you... thanks the meal," The girl takes a sandwich and a drink to place on her side as she began to eat, the girls behind the tree stare in astonishment.
"That's the pretty boy delinquent Josuke Higashikata, what's he doing taking Okuyasu on a date?! shouldn't his fanclub be somewhere??" Kiyo whispered
"Okuyasu... dont let's his looks decieve you..."
Back at the table, Okuyasu take another bite of her sandwich and both Josuke and she make light conversation.
"Thanks again for inviting me out! But y'know, I still dunno what this is all about" Okuyasu contemplated as she takes the last bite of her sandwich, "It's no secret I'm basically at the bottom of our class when it comes to grades and my handwriting's shit, so it can't be for class notes. Did you wanna switch clean up days? Or maybe you heard I work part time at Tonio's. I can't get you a discount or anything but I'm sure he wouldn't mind the extra hands around his kitchen,"
"It aint any of those things," Josuke interjected, he adverts his eyes as he taps his finger against the plate in front of him.
"Huh? Well, I mean, do you have a lost dog or cat you want me to take care of? No offense but my hands are already full with my dad as it is, no way I got room for a pet right now-"
"Damn it, you're really gonna make me say it huh?" Josuke still doesnt look to Okuyasu, but she noticed that he has a dopey smile, adorned with a faint blush on his cheeks.
"Dude, are you gonna vomit-"
"Oku," he took a deep breath and looks to the gorl across from him with a confident glint in his eye "Okuyasu, I like you. Like, like you like you. I love you,"
"WHAT??" yelled Kiyo. Yukako hurriedly cover her friends mouth before their cover can be blown and pulls them to behind the tree.
"I cant stop thinking about you, y'know, even when I dont want to," the boy continued, leaving the three girls in a stupor, "I know, you'd never think someone lookin like me would be into pure love, but I am. Everytime I think about you my heart wont stop beating fast. I was gonna keep it to myself but, I realized I didnt wanna not say nothin like a coward, so I'm confessin, even if you hate me for it"
"Hmm, Okuyasu?" Yukako said from behind the tree, "I knew he wasnt into the girls in his little fanclub, but I didnt think she'd be his type"
"Does that really matter? Okuyasu managed to reel in the bad boy heart throb of our school! Dont miss your chance!"
"Dude, you're not messin with me, right?" Okuyasu inquired "y'know, its not like I get confessed to everyday so I gonna be pretty pissed if you're pulling my leg here,"
" I'm dead serious!" Josuke exclaims "During gym period today when we had to do strength exercises you-" the delinquents face went complete red at that moment "I really liked looking at you and I kept thinking and..." he groaned and averted his eyes as he hid his burning face behind his hands, "Okuyasu, please dont make me say it out loud, just- tell me you hate me and get it over with"
"Well, I mean, I dont hate you or anything-"
"So you love me then?" He asked tentatively
"What? No I-"
"you hate me..."
"Dude, I just said I dont-"
CRASH
"WELL WHICH IS IT DAMN IT? ARE YOU MADLY IN LOVE WITH ME OR DO YOU HATE MY GUTS? I POURED MY HEART OUT AND ALL YOU'VE BEEN DOING IS TOYING WITH ME! AND NOW I STAINED UP MY UNIFORM, WHOSE FAULT DO YOU THINK THAT IS?"
Silence, an eery silence, an uncomfortable eery silence fills the downtown area. It's made even more awkward as everyone either avoided looking at the scene or couldn't stop looking.
"I- Okuyasu I-" the delinquent boy looked in horror at Okuyasu's shocked face "I dont know what came over me, Shit I-"
Okuyasu can only stare, mouth agape as Josuke moves from his seat. He hurriedly gathers his things and slings his bag over his shoulder.
"Look, I'll see you tomorrow at school. Dont be a stranger, alright?" He mumbled before running off.
"Uhmm..." Kiyo whispered to Yukako "is it just me, or do you feel like a deflated balloon after all this? Any sort of envy I had just went straight out the window"
"Yes indeed," she replied. The both begin to walk away from the tree "Let's pretend we didnt see that, for Okuyasu's sake"
"What the hell!" They heard Okuyasu exclaim. They turn to see what looks to be Okuyasu uniform skirt drenched in her drink, sitting in front of her what can only be explained as the two meals fused with the tray and table.
"Wha, my food! How'd it end up like that? What the hell is goin on?"
"Stand user attract one another Jotaro said, right" Yukako said, she turns to the retreating form of Josuke Higashikata "could it be..."
-breakdown breakdown-
Okuyasu sat by the school swimming pool, dozing off under the heat of the warm sun. She couldnt get much sleep last night, and had woken up late due to exhaustion. Usually she wasnt one to appreciate the quiet when she skipped class, but right now she needed the time to think. It's been her usual busy and then on top of the whole... incident... with Josuke. She needed some time to sort out her thoughts.
Despite the weirdness of the situation, she still found it kind of neat, the idea of someone confessing to her, even if she didnt necessarily feel the same. She remember when she was younger, the boys in her class would leave love letters in her shoe locker as a running dare. Sometimes she would meet them behind the school when she felt a little confident. It always ended the same though.
Okuyasu Nijimura was brash, loud mouthed, impulsive, and not at all the sharpest in the tool box. She long accepted the fact that she was no where near anyone's ideal girl. It was something that's her brother would remind her when she would come home with her heart broken once again.
As she was about to fall asleep, she felt the hairs on her neck raise to attention.
"Hm?" was she found by a teacher? She sat up, but didnt find anyone near the pool entrance.
"Yo, Okuyasu," a familiar voice said behind her
Okuyasu jumped away with a tiny yelp, "Higashikata, wha-"
"I said dont be a stranger didnt I?" He chuckled "What're you up to?"
"Oh, well, I couldnt sleep so I thought I'd skip to get some rest,"
He walked over to her and plops down right next to her, a bright smile on his face as both the knee of their uniform bottoms brushing against each other. Okuyasu shuffled away in a slight panic and nervously chuckled and suddenly Josuke upbeat attitude then turned solemn as he turned away from her.
"Okuyasu, look, about yesterday..." he started "just forget I said anything alright?"
"Huh?"
"I've been thinking about it alot, and I know I tend to get all tunnel vision when I have my eyes on something. I probably made you uncomfortable," He pla5ces his hand on the back of his neck sheepishly "I shoulda thought about things a but more rationally, I'm sorry"
She was pretty taken aback by his outburst, but if he thought about it rationally, he cant be that weird, she figured. And thinking about it, most people would be nervous when confessing their true feelings to someone, right?
"Can we, at least, be friends?" He finally asked
"Yeah, of course, it's not a problem at all" she answered more confidently
"I'm glad to hear that. Was keepin me up all night. That's why I'm here as well, to clear my head,"
"Well, no worries, dude"
"Still," he pouted slightly, it was kind of cute, Okuyasu thought "I was kinda bummed we didnt get to hang out all that much yesterday,"
"Well, I can't hang out today-"
"Yeah, you work at Tonio's after school until closing time Monday, Wednesday, and weekends, so you'll be pretty busy then"
Huh?
"And then you always hang out with your friends, Yamagishi and Hirose on your free days, and then you go shopping for groceries every other Thursday at 4:30pm on your payday... and not to mention you still need to renovate your home and take care of your dad and visiting you brother's grave..."
This seems a bit like TMI
"How about this, I can walk with you before and after school, and when we're at school, I'll buy all of your lunches, and afterwards I'll take you and pick you up from Tonio's on the days you work and go shopping with you and drop you off home. We dont live far from each other, so it'll be fine for the both of us, that way we can get to know each other, as friends of course.
"I heard you've been wanting to get F-Mega Overdrive for a while now. I actually have the trilogy at my house. Do you wanna come over my house and play it with me? But then again my Mom would probably be home by then, and I want you to stay as long as possible, not to mention those annoying-ass girls that keep following me around,"
"You mean your fanclub?" Okuyasu murmured
"Not like it matter, I'll just tell them to go away if I see them. For our new found friendship I'll yell at them for you," Josuke suddenly reached to hold Okuyasu's hand in his with a firm, but gentle grip, he looked to her with a twisted adoration in his eyes "Just say the word, tell me what you want and I'll drop everything for you,"
To say Okuyasu was overwhelmed was an understatement. Josuke's grip would not let her leave, and he was right in her personal space. She wanted so badly to say no, but it was as if her brain flatlined on her. This was too much for her.
"Hey, you two take it somewhere else will you, I dont wanna see that while I'm skipping" an approaching said from the pool entrance.
Okuyasu took this chance to slip her hands away and get up from the delinquent "My bad man, I'll get out your hair!" She said as she hurried away. She yet again felt the hairs on her neck raise as she disappeared.
"You heard me Higashikata, move it," the student repeated
"Watch you mouth, you're pissin me off," Josuke hissed under his breath
"What was that?!"
"Dont think I dont know what your playing at. Slipping under the radar and trying to steal what isn't yours. Well tough shit, Okuyasu is mine, so keep your grummy hands away from her," he stands up and glares at the other student who approaches him.
"Just wait a minute, you actually think I have the hots for Okuyasu Nijimura? You stupid or something?" The student asked in a mocking tone "as if I'd waste my time on someone like her, and whether or not I went for the dumb bitch, who do you think you are, telling my what I can and can't do, you got a problem, pretty boy?"
"Keep talkin like that and I'll beat your face in uglier than it already it, you scum shit"
"What was that asshole?!" The student rai6ses his fist to aim at Josuke "If you wanna fight then bring it!"
Josuke easily evaded the incoming punch, grabbing his forearm and pushing the student against the concrete wall hard. A dark, deadly glint in his eye as he swiftly readies his fist for a punch of his own, a faint, purpleish-pink glow surrounds him, somehow unnoticed.
DORRAAA!
The student's face gushes with blood as he's knocked out cold, then suddenly, it- rearranges itself, rapid healing on it's own. Except, when everything is finished, he looks, off?
Josuke let the student drop to the floor and began to walk where Okuyasu left to.
"Guess you were right, Yukako. Josuke really is a stand user" Kiyo said from the wall surrounding the pool.
"It would seem so," Yukako replied, she leaps over the wall using her stand, Love Deluxe. She and Kiyo go over to inspect the new face of the knocked out student
"I think I saw a second arm when he went to beat him up, I dont think it's like yours where it's attached to a physical object" Kiyo added "seems like his stand ability can morph things"
"He doesn't seem to have it out for Okuyasu... but to think he would have a stand as powerful at this.... we have to be careful around him,"
"What about this guys face?"
"Do I look like a plastic surgeon to you? That's his problem,"
-breakdown breakdown-
It was finally lunch period, Okuyasu sat on the rooftop with her friends. She managed to grab herself some lunch, though she did run into Josuke. Luckily she managed to slip by him
"I think Josuke might be a bit unhinged. Rather not run into him but he keeps finding me," She said
Kiyo patted her shoulder in an act of comfort "Dont worry Okuyasu, we'll figure something out," she quickly turned to Yukako who was standing near the roof entrance "Yukako, you dont have to be a look out. I already put Echoes on the door so no one can get up here if they wanted to,"
Okuyasu took a bite of her lunch dejectedly "y'know I was pretty stoked, he confessed and kepted going on about pure love, so I thought he was the devoted type," she sighs "I mean, he is, but not in a good way at all!"
"Dont let that bastard's sweet talking decieve you Okuyasu," Yukako stated. She took a spot next across from her two friends and opened up her bento box to begin eating her own food "He'll have you wrapped around your finger, and then next thing you know, he's getting down and dirty with one of his groupies. Not to mention he's also a stand user. He's a no good delinquent bastard-"
"But so am I,"
"You are, but I dont like that guy at all. Just tell him to his face, 'I dont like you, so stay away from me'"
"That's the thing, I try but it's like everytime I'm thinkin of saying those word he stares me down and I get all choked up and shit," she stuffed the rest of her sandwich in her mouth and groaned "and he said he'd start walking with me everywhere I go starting today, I really don't wanna run into that guy at all. Aagh, what am I suppose to do?"
The rooftop was silent then. Kiyo and Yukako thinking to themselves as Okuyasu wallowed in her own suffering.
"We simply let him try, and tell everyone about it" Yukako said
"I dont want the whole school in on this-"
"Oh, I think I get what you're saying, Yukako" Kiyo interjected "Don't you find it weird you havent run into his groupies yet, even though you've running into him alot? He's probably trying to avoid them when he goes to meet up with you,"
"Some of his groupies are in our class, and Kiyo and Josuke are in the same class, Okuyasu. Kiyo will preoccupy him as we let the girls overhear that Josuke will be going over to Tonio's. We just leave the rest to them while you sneak out from the back entrance, I'll deal with him from there,"
"Wait, me distract him? How am I suppose to do that?" Kiyo asked
"Ask him if he has a cheat sheet for the next test, where the best hang out spots are for skipping class, or maybe where you can buy some drugs. He'd probably have an answer for those type of questions. In the mean time, Okuyasu, don't come back to school until all this blows over"
"I mean, I guess I'll follow you guys lead... not like I gotta choice" Okuyasu said
"Fufu, dont underestimate me Okuyasu~ it'll work plenty,"
-breakdown breakdown-
"Uh, hey, J-Josuke. Can I ask you something?"
"Hmm? Hirose, what's up?"
The last school bell rang, indicating the end of the school day. Student's were packing up their belongings so they could finally meet up with friends after a long day of school. Josuke found Kiyo standing by his desk while he too hurried to put his stuff away. He found it odd, she never was one to ever talk to him, and it's not as if he went out his way to be friendly with her either. But, she was one of Okuyasu's friend, so he didn't plan on ignoring her. Even if she was making him late meeting up with Okuyasu.
"Well, uuhmm..." she started "I mean, it's just, well... I've been having a hard time paying attention in class and all so..."
Josuke qurked an eyebrow, waiting for her to finish whatever it was she was trying to say.
She lean a bit closer to ask him in a whisper, "Do you happen to have the answer sheet for the next test?"
"What?"
"I- I mean I just figured, since you skip class a lot, and you get decent marks so maybe you've been using one? Or m-maybe you know someone who has some... stuff that will help with paying attention? I've been really tired lately, do you think you could take me to, you know, to whoever you dealer is? Maybe?"
This is ridiculous, Josuke thought. He abruptly stood from his desk, causing Kiyo to let out a tiny squeak as she back away
"Look, I don't have time for this, so dont bother me," Josuke said as he left his desk
"B-but-"
"Goodbye Hirose, see you in class tomorrow," he left his classroom. He would've stopped by Okuyasu's classroom to pick her up, but he had a feeling he missed her when Hirose was keeping his time. He figured he'd meet her by the school entrance and walk with her from there.
He walked down the flight of stairs and managed to make it to the school entrance, only to be stopped by a small group of girls.
"Josuke! How was your day? School was so boring, wasnt it?"
"You're as handsome as ever, I'm glad I got to see you today!"
"Look," Josuke said annoyingly "I dont have time for this today, so get outta my way,"
"Awwh, dont be like that, Josuke. We've missed our favorite bad boy," one of the girls wrapped both her arms around his and tugged him to walk with her "Hey, we heard you were heading over to that new Italian restaurant, Tonio's right? We were all thinking of going there too! How about we all go together!"
"Hey, who do you think you're grabbing at? Get your greedy hands off of him already!" One of the girls yelled. She grabbed the girl by her shoulder and yanked her off him, to her dismay
"Just who do you think you're touching, bitch? Dont grab other people just because you dont have the balls to make a move,"
"Oh yeah, say that to my face one more time!"
This clearly escalated past the point of anything reasonable, Finally seeing his chance, he turned away and began to walk to walk to the school entrance once again.
"Josuke Higashikata, you really are a no good delinquent bastard," a passerby said. He turned his attention to the person making the comment, only to see Yukako Yamagishi staring down at him in clear disgust.
"Yamagishi," Josuke said "where's Okuyasu?"
"Hah, you stand there and make girls fight over a punk like you, yet have the nerve to ask me where my friend is. You really have no dignity" she turned her nose up and walked away to Kiyo Hirose, who watched nearby "All you do is play with girls hearts, as if I'd ever tell you, rotten bastard. Dont even think about going near her again,"
Josuke stewed in his boiling temper as she and Hirose walk off. The girls that surround him try to placate him in an act of comfort.
"Dont listen to her. She's just crazy" said one of the girls
"Yeah, I heard she's super obsessive, what a creep," said another
"Let's just go to Tonio's and get something to eat"
Josuke stormed off, away from the girls and away from Yamagishi and Hirose. Everyone was just trying to piss him off today, get in the way of he and Okuyasu's budding relationship. Who do they think they are.
As if he'd let them stop him.
No, never...
-breakdow breakdown-
Okuyasu yawned loudly as she cleaned the kitchen, finally in her pajamas after a draining day. She had just gotten off of work and found the kitchen a mess from her dad eating dinner. As she washed the last of the dishes and placed them on the rack to dry, she walked over to the fridge and opened it for inspection.
She looked inside and noted that she needed to stick up on food earlier than expected. Her dad must've ate more than needed again. Well, luckily she had spare time to shop, since she wasn't going to school for a while.
...
Thank god Yukako's plan worked. She really didnt want to see Josuke again for a while. She never thought the day would come where she'd missed boys looking over her. Hopefully this'll all blow over soon.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"A visitor?" She quietly scurried over to the door, reaching for the metal baseball bat near the entrance. She reach for the doorknob, and waited a beat before swinging the door open, bat raised in ready position. She looked around her entry way where she didnt see anybody, and eventually closed and locked the door to head back inside, bringing the bat with her. She when to the stairs to check in her father's room, only to find him sleeping in his spot on the floor, just as she found him when she came home. She checked the rest of the rooms in the house, finding them the same as they've always been.
"...weird..." she said to herself. She leaned the bat on the kitchen table as she walked to the dishes.
TAP TAP
She ran over to the bat. Standing in front of the nearby window, ready for, something to attack.
She stood there for what felt like forever, but nothing happened. She was feeling herself getting antsy, but still, she didnt want to use her stand and risk damaging the house.
... it couldn't be him, right?
Yeah he apparently does like to far, and was very adamant about spending time with her, but he's not that crazy.
She hoped.
Eventually, when nothing happened. She tentatively lowered her bat, walking backwards towards the kitchen area...
CRASH
She was pushed face down to the floor, the wind knocked out her lungs as she landed face first with a hard THUD. Her bat rolled from her hands far away from her reach.
"Dont yell, we cant have anyone hear you," came a sickly sweet voice from next to her ear
JOSUKE?!
"WHAT THE FU-" her mouth was promptly covered by his hand. She bucked to throw him off her back, her grunts muffled, but he stayed in his place. She made one last attempt to reach for the bat, but before she could think to releasing her stand, both of her arms were put behind her back. She was rendered helpless as she gawked at the delinquent on her back.
"I'm sorry, for breaking your front door. But don't worry, I fixed it, with Crazy Diamond, so it looks good as new,"
Crazy Diamond? Did he mean his stand?
"Your friends dont think that highly of me. I don't mind playing nice, but I promised you I'd hang out with you, and they fucked it up. They said they wouldn't let you see me. Are you really gonna let the dictate everything for you? Cuz I wont,"
She felt a third hand caress through her hair. She tried again to thrash Josuke off, her breath ragged from her distress.
"I really want to get to know you Okuyasu, but everyone keeps getting in the way. So I thought we'd go somewhere, just the two of us. There's this nice place by the sea I wanna take you," he continued softly, Crazy Diamond's hand still caressing sweetly down to her neck "I even brought a motorcycle over here to take you there, but I need you to be quiet, can you be quiet for me?"
She shrieked, and licked his hand before biting it hard.
"Okay, we can do this the hard way," He ripped is hand from his mouth just as Josuke's stand gripped her hair tightly to lift her head up, positioned himself to put her in a chokehold. She tried desperately to call for her stand, but with her hand tight at her back it was no use.
She desperately kicked her legs, to no avail. Her breath slowly slipping from her and her vision becoming cloudy. Her movement grew sluggish. She wondered if her father would be alright without someone here, she thought that maybe her brother was looking on from her grave, yelling at her to get up.
Guess Yukako's plan didnt work... she hoped her friends would find her soon...
She heard what sounded like her father whimpering as her vision went black, and her body limp.
-breakdown breakdown-
"Okuyasu, I'm coming in," a muffled voice said
At the sound of her name, she roused herself to conciousness and pushed herself to sit upright. Her hand landed on something soft, and she smelled something salty in the air. This was definitely not her house, her head was throbbing and her face felt crusty, where was she?
As he rubbed her eyes to wake herself up, and noticed a, silver bracelet on her right wrist. She attempted to pry it off, but found herself unsuccessful.
She turned as she heard a door open, eye to eye with her captor. And suddenly it all came flooding back to her.
He gave her a bright smile, "Mornin, did you sleep well?" He looked as put together as he usually did, his classic pompadour and a pair of lounge clothes.
She jumped out of the bed, planting herself against the wall farthest from him "You- what the hell's your problem?!"
"I think this place is nice, it's right by the sea so it's nice to wake up to the waves crashing against the cliff. That and it's pretty secluded, not a whole lot can bother us now, a nice romantic getaway," he said lightly "come downstairs with me, breakfast is ready,"
"You think I'm just gonna put up with this?"
"There no windows in this house, and there's only one door that goes outside, I made sure of that,"
Okuyasu finally took the time to look around the room. There really weren't any windows here, and it seemed like Josuke put her in a room with only one door, the one he was standing at. Meaning the only way out of this room was through him.
"Now let's go downstairs. Breakfast'll get cold if we don't hurry, and I wanted you to see the kitchen. I'm not much of a chef so I just ordered some delivery. Unless you want to eat in here? I dont mind breakfast in bed,"
Guess all she could do for now was go along with this, until she could clobber the shit out of him.
She cautiously walk passed Josuke who held the door open for her and stood outside in the hallway.
Josuke closed the door shut, and Okuyasu saw first hand as he summon Crazy Diamond. His stand was humanoid, hot pink skin with blood red armor.
Crazy Diamond held the knob in one hand, while in the other punched the door, a golden glow surrounding it. The door reassembles itself shut and the door knob lands into Josuke's hand.
Okuyasu went to the door, testing to see if she could push it open or pry it open. It didn't budge.
"I got rid of the other doorknobs," he said from behind her "I'm using the last one for the entire house, so you'll have to ask me to open doors for you. Now let's go eat, I'm hungry,"
Josuke put the door knob in his pocket and walked down the hallway to the staircase. She reluctantly followed him, catching a glimpse at all the door they passed by on the way there, none of which had door knobs.
They arrive at the kitchen, and Okuyasu begrudgingly admitted that it was an impressive one. It was spacious, and all the appliances, at least she assumed, were state of the art. Not to mention the dining room table didnt look too shabby, and the counter top was covered in the food Josuke bought for them. Okuyasu took the seat she was pointed to while Josuke fixed their plates with food.
"So, Crazy Diamond... was that how you did the thing with the door knob, and fixed my door back home?" Okuyasu asked
"Mhmm," answered Josuke "Shocked you didnt it? Don't worry, freaked me out when I first saw it," he set her plate in front of her and then took the seat across from her, "back in February, when I was walking home from school, I got hit by some arrow. Though, even that could be a dream... all I know is I woke up and the wound I got was all healed up like nothin happened. It might be some sorta telekinesis or somethin,"
So then Big Brother hit him with an arrow too.
"Do you, know anyone else that can do that?"
"Nope," he began to eat his food
Okay, so he doesn't know she has her stand, The Hand. Maybe she could use that to her advantage?
"Doesnt this remind you of when we went to the cafe?" He suddenly asked
"Huh?"
"After school, when I confessed to you," he had a faint blush on his cheeks, poking at a piece of bacon a bit sheepish "I'm glad I did, because I finally got to meet you. I may have the rep of a delinquent, but it toke alot for me to scrap up the nerve to actually talk to you..."
Okuyasu let him talk as she poked at her own food, thinking hard... There's no way Yukako and Kiyo knew where she was, she needed to find a way to reach them. But her mind was drawing a blank. She never needed to think for herself much...
Damn, maybe she should just surprise him with her stand and run out....
Wait. Josuke said he ordered food, right, which meant there had to be a working phone nearby?
"Where's the phone?" Okuyasu suddenly asked "I wanna call my friends,"
"...This place doesnt have a phone,"
"Bullshit!" She shot up from her seat at the table balling her fists to her side. "Even a dumbass like me can tell your full of shit,"
"I cut all the phone wires here. And even if there was a phone here, I'm not telling you where. You're not steppin foot outside of this house,"
"I aint askin for permission, asshole! If you won't show me then I'll look for it myself!"
"Why do you wanna ruin this chance we have now?! Didnt you say you wanted to be friend, dont make this so difficult!"
"You pompadour wearing crazy son of a bitch, you hear me?! You're bat shit insane!"
Josuke gets up and rushes to her side to grab for her, and Okuyasu punches him hard in the cheek.
The kitchen is quiet, all except for Okuyasus ragged breath she managed to hit him. It seems like Josuke is a bit shocked at the punch, but his expression quickly shits to anger gives, catching her by surprise when he gripped her wrist tight.
"What the hell, did you just SAY?,"
She wasnt ready for the knee to her gut, the push to the ground, or Crazy Diamond lifting her like it was nothing. The stand takes her to an open door, she can catch a glimpse of another set of stairs descending down.
"You're testing my patience, so I'm leaving you in the basement so you can cool down for a bit," Crazy Diamond tosses her on the basement floor before returning to Josuke to mess with the door knob.
"By the way, turns out the owner of this house is some hot shot politician from Tokyo. He uses this as his summer home, so fortunately for us, we'll have this place all to our selves for a few months"
