Morioh Days!

Chapter 1

...

Joseph Joestar hated the Japanese, he really did. This vendetta seemed to stem from the fact that his only daughter Holy had married a Japanese man from across the world and never came home. The man that stole his daughter's heart, Sadao Kujo, was lucky he wasn't around much because of his job, if he was Joseph would have lost control and throttled him. Just the fact that this stranger he had barely gotten to know had become his son-in-law had left a bad taste in his mouth. What made it all worse was the fact that since Holy lived in Japan he rarely got to visit his grandson, Jotaro.

Joseph's life didn't get any easier however as he had recently been having trouble in his personal life. He and Suzi Q seemed to fighting a lot lately. She would say this and he would say that, it was clear they couldn't find any common ground. Maybe they've just been around each other too long... that sometimes happens to couples, right? If there was a silver lining to this however, it was the fact that the arguing made him want to take up his Hamon training again.

Once again Joseph found himself in Japan, since he had just finished visiting Holy and Jotaro... he decided now was the time for a vacation. He needed some time away from running the SPEEDWAGON Foundation, plus he was in his early 60s and needed a little R&R. He remembered Holy telling him about a place called Morioh, a suburb of S-City. It sounded interesting enough, plus if Holy suggested it he would at least give the place a chance.

It only took him a few hours to reach Morioh from where he was, needless to say the place was way different from Holy's home or his own residence. This was a small and peaceful town... the kind of place where everyone knows everyone. Joseph sighed, he would stick out like a sore thumb. Oh well, he needed to find a place to stay for a while, perhaps an inn or a hotel? That's when it hit him he had no idea where to go, he needed directions.

After asking around for what seemed like forever he finally made it to the MORIOH GRAND HOTEL. The place was bigger than he imagined for such a small town. Was Morioh secretly a hot spot for tourists that all came here? One inside the place looked even bigger, was that even possible? Joseph shrugged off the thought and found the bellhop sitting behind a small desk. "Excuse me?" he said gaining the man's attention.

"How can I help you today sir... may I offer you a room?"

"Yes please. I'm here for a little R&R and will be here a while." said Joseph.

The bellhop pulled out a guest book and opened it to a fresh page. "Just sign here sir."

Joseph did as instructed while also paying up front. The Bellhop seemed to smile at Joseph while accepting his payment. He then handed Joseph his room key... it looks like he'd be staying in room 326.

"Do you need any help with your bags sir?"

"It's alright I can handle it myself." Joseph said kindly before disappearing up the stairs. Joseph made it to his room where he promptly threw his suitcase on the floor and stretched out across the soft bed. He finally felt relax and relieved that this hotel had actual beds and not those uncomfortable futons like at Holy's place.

Joseph didn't bother removing his coat as he lied down, he closed his eyes with a smile adoring his face. For now he would rest... and explore this little town tomorrow.

It was early morning when Joseph decided to go for a stroll. He was dressed in a simple tucked in black t-shirt with brown pants and black shoes complete with a matching hat. It was time for him to finally see the sights, luckily he remembered to ask the bellhop to draw him a map. He unfolded said map in front of him while wondering where to go first. Honestly there were so many locations marked that Joseph wondered how such a small town could have so many attractions.

Seeing as how he couldn't decide, he needed to choose the old fashioned way. "Eeeny, meeny, miny, moe... I pick you so lets go."

Joseph's hand had landed on Café Rengatei, what a stroke of luck, he could get some morning coffee there. Upon reaching the café, Joseph saw it was a small brick building with a yellow awing and a big red sign that displayed it's name. Joseph had to admit the place looked promising, hopefully the coffee here would be able to match American coffee. When Joseph entered he saw how the café took on a more American look with ceiling fans and booths. He liked that, no sitting on his knees around a small table.

Joseph walked over to the counter and looked at the coffee menu, he was glad there wasn't a line. He ordered his coffee black, and to go since he wanted to see more of the town. Once he got outside and took his first sip of coffee his eyes widened... this was without question... the worst thing he had ever drank in his life. He spat out the vile liquid faster that you could say, 'overdrive'. "Ga! OH MY GOD! This Japanese coffee is the worst!"

This got him a few odd stares from the people on the streets. There was a lingering awkward silence before Joseph opened his map to try and find a new location since the café was a bust. "Let's see... what's next?" Joseph began walking with his eyes focused solely on the map. Before long he found himself on the ground with his map floating away in the wind. Joseph clutched his head murmuring under his breath. "What did I hit?"

His question was greeted by a feminine grunt that came from the poor soul that he'd unintentionally crashed into. It was a woman... a beautiful woman with neck length dark hair that was kept together with a white hairpin. She had chocolate brown eyes, luscious lips, and fair skin. She wore a plain white shirt underneath a small blue jacket with blue jeans and white sneakers. Joseph couldn't deny she was a real looker, and her cloths wrapped perfectly around her slim figure.

It took him a minute before he caught himself starring. "Oh! I'm sorry miss."

"No. It's my fault... I should really pay attention to... where... I'm... going." her voice trailed off as her eyes lingered on Joseph. He was a tall man with a great build and a chiseled jaw. His eyes were the purest shade of green she'd ever seen and his short gray hair and trimmed beard completed his look. If she had to choose one word to describe him it would be... handsome. The mysterious woman's cheeks went red, it was then she looked away as she had also caught herself starring. "Tomoko..." she said quietly.

"Excuse me?" Joseph asked.

"That's my name... Tomoko... Tomoko Higashikata."

Joseph smiled. "Joestar... Joseph Joestar."

It was then Tomoko realized her purse was on the ground between them. "Oh?/I'll get that for you." they both said in unison as both there hands tounched while going for the purse. Both their faces heated up as a large red blush ran across their faces.

"Sorry." Joseph said as he slowly withdrew his hand.

"I-It's alright." said Tomoko.

Both let out nervous chuckles before getting back to their feet.

"Sorry again. Because of me you lost your map." said Tomoko.

"No need to worry, I'm sure I'll find my way around." Joseph said, doing his best to sound confident.

Tomoko giggled. "Well I'm a resident of Morioh, I know the city like the back of my hand if you need directions."

"Trust me, I'll be fine." Joseph assured.

"Alright then." said Tomoko. "By the way, I haven't seen you in Morioh before... are you new in town?"

"No, not really. I'm just vacationing here for a month or two." Joseph answered.

"Ok then. I think it's about time I'm on my way. Maybe I'll see you around Mr. Joestar." Tomoko winked.

"Please... call me Joseph." he winked back.

"Very well then... Joseph. I hope I see you again."

Tomoko turned around and waved goodbye. Joseph stood stationary as he watched her disappear around the corner. He could only smile... maybe his time in Morioh won't be so bad?
