Lately, I've been going to school, mama and brother tell me I need education to get a job one day, oh and so I can try and learn more about human society and how humans are all unique and different. I'm not stupid and know that not every human is fun, caring and sweet like mama or dark, grumpy and rough like brother, but I'm not really sure how normal humans act, ones that don't know about my people.
I'm something called a Canine, an advanced race of beings who used to live among humans, we were revered once upon a time by the humans as gods of the hounds, hence the name given to us. From what grandpa told me, my people also used to live among a more advanced race, but they're all extinct now, well, my grandpa did kill the last of them almost 50 years ago.
However, my real mama died years ago, as she had helped grandpa defeat the men called 'pillar men', and when I was all alone, Joseph Joestar and Suzie Joestar took me in, and raised me like a granddaughter. Although, I don't see grandpa or grandma very often, I'm happy that they sent me to Holy Kujo, she treated me like anyone else, not caring I wasn't her child, or even that I wasn't human, and so I was raised in the Kujo household and given the name Canine Kujo, I still live with mama and big brother Jotaro.
Have very little memories of before I met grandpa, they called it Amnesia, and so I could only remember a fraction of my young years, although, there's one thing I remember that always bring comfort to my heart. I had a friend, a girls who's face I cannot remember, nor her name, only her voice, it was always low, a lazy tone yet I always knew how she was feeling. We played together in the hot sands of Cairo slums. She was a little older than me I'm sure, although it may just have been that I've always been short but… I wonder if she was human.
It's not that I mind that not being human, there are so many benefits, such as the fact I don't need to sleep as often as humans do, and we can use any form of energy, from using human food for energy to using a form of photosynthesis. I can use the air around me and bend it to my will, I can make it denser around me than my body is to allow me to float as well as pushing the air around me to make vibrations and create a certain sound, I use that with my music to make it sound better, as well as that, I can also use the air molecules and atoms to heat things up by vibrating them faster or chill things out by slowing them down. Although I know I have other abilities, I don't use them, I feel like they'd just draw attention or could hurt the people around me.
Just two or three days ago, Jotaro was put in jail, some punks decided that they would try and hit on me, and Jotaro didn't like that. He ended up beating all 4 of them up to the point they were in hospital, finding out later that one was actually a trained boxer. They were even armed. Jotaro insists that they just annoyed him and that an evil spirit had done most of it, which I thought I saw a glimpse of but put it down to my eyes playing tricks on me, but I know he was just looking out for me even if it wasn't his intention, I don't mind it but I'd like to fight my own battle sometimes, but because of me, brothers been put in jail.
For the past few days, all Jotaros fangirls will come up to me asking so many questions that it made my head spin, 'Is Jojo sick? Is he not well? Has he hurt himself? When's he coming back?' And the usual 'Why not just wear the school uniform? I think you'd look so cute!'
All the questions were annoying, especially since they acted so chummy with me, pretending to want to be my friend just to get to Jojo, that's why I don't want to discover any more of my abilities, I can see and smell peoples souls, allowing me to see right through them and know their true intentions after analysing how the smell and shapes change depending on if they're mood, making it easy to tell when someone's lying. It makes me worry. Yesterday I finally snapped at them, telling them all to back off, I don't think they took it very well, as they glared holes into my back the whole way to school.
Even though I had been going to school for a couple of months now, I hated the ugly purple uniform they made the girls wear, so I got mama to sign a form that tells that I have to wear my own clothing. Usually, I just throw on some high waisted, light blue bootcuts, a grey tri-strap tank top with the words 'funk' printed on, and bright neon blue and pink trainers, but I usually have it all coered up with my long coat.
I've been told people could recognise me just by looking at my footwear or coat, since I only wore these or another pair that was identical, even though the fations not popular now, I'm sure it will be one day. I usually wore my silver/pinkish hair in a high ponytail, allowing my bangs to trace my face, revealing my pale blue eyes. Even in the ponytail my hair was long, coming up to the back of my knees, I hate people touching my hair, so it wasn't really cut, the most that would happen would be mama trimming any dead ends.
School went on as usual, although I ate alone today since brother wasn't outside skipping class, kinda hypocritical for a man who tells me I need to go to school. I had managed to avoid the girls today by floating to school high up, using the hair around me to bend the light so I wasn't seen. I had sneaked in through the window of a bathroom and got ready for class. I'm a complete opposite to Jotao, I love taking and going to class, but I've never really had any friends, real ones. Mama keeps asking when I'm going to get a boyfriend but I don't really know how it works, I know how it works traditionally for my people but human relationships are much different.
Mama's visiting Jojo today in jail, I have no doubt that he's going to be stubborn, he told me and Mama that he was possessed by an evil spirit so we shouldn't bother coming to get him. I'm worried but I had to concentrate at school.
Finally, it's the end of the school day, and I can see the watchful eyes of Jotaros fanclub waiting for me to pass them, probably to ask me the questions they missed out on this morning, damn I can't be bothered dealing with them, I use the air around me again to bend the light, making it denser so I can float, sighing as I glide along the sky, looking down at the streets bustling with rush hour. I return home, opening the front door to be greeted by Mama, her usual chirpy self.
Her smile brought a smile to my face, and noticed that something must have happened, "Hey mama, you look really happy today, did something good happen?" I beamed, placing my bag by the door and taking my shoes off before accepting the warm hug she offered. "I went to go see Jotaro, but he… He really does have an evil spirit, I seen it! My poor boy!" Mama placed her hands over her face trying hard not to cry, as I rub her back and smile as best I can, "It's Ok mama, I'm sure everything will work out, have you called Grandpa yet?"
Suddenly, mamas face changed to one of realisation, "Oh yes! He's coming to visit uss right away! He'll be here tomorrow, I better get things ready!" Her chirpy voice was soothing, as I nod and help her clean the house and get the spare futon set up in the guest room, before washing up, and getting ready for bed.
That night, I lay in my futon, not tired yet, I couldn't get the thought of grandpa and Grandma visiting out of my mind, I hadn't seen them in so long and I really miss them. I hear that Grandpa can help Jojo, since he's started to get some form of supernatural abilities, just like Jotaro.
I wonder if it has something to do with Mama everytime I see her soul, I sometimes see something blocking out her soul, like vines, but I didn't worry about it, mama seems to be healthy.
That day, I decided not to go to school, I was too excited, and so instead I walked with Mama to the airport, and as soon as we see grandpa, we latch onto him in a group hug, he tells us that he'd cross the globe in a day if we need him, and I was glad, grandpa had began to grow grey in his age, but his eyes were unmistakable. He may have complained that we were hugging him for to long and glared at onlookers as mama tickled him, but there was something that caught my eye, I saw reddish purple vines wrapping around grandpa's soul, so that must be the supernatural ability mama mentioned.
As mama explained how brother was in jail, grandpa reassured her, before walking over to me, "Ah, and here's my lovely granddaughter! You're growing up fast!" I feel so happy to see him again, I hug him tightly, as me and Mama asked where grandma was, unfortunately she didn't come, as he told her it was official Joestar business.
We were going to leave but grandpa motioned at a man with a peculiar looking soul, his was one that was wise and powerful, shaped almost as a pheonix, red and purple flames surrounding it. I was slightly scared of the man, two strange squiggly markings going down his face and a long tunic, covered by a red long coat.
I wanted to join grandpa and mama to go see Jotaro, but grandpa did say a jail was no place for a young lady, which kinda sucks. I want to see brothers evil spirit, at least I got the name of the scary man, I found out he was egyption which is cool, he's a fortune teller by trade called Mr. Mohammed Avdol.
My phone suddenly rings, and I answer to hear mama on the other side, "Hey mama! Have you got brother?" I ask, hopeful, "Yeah! We got him out that cell and we're at the local cafe, papa wants to talk to us about something, feeling up to coming?" I was beaming, I hadn't seen brother for the past 3 days and I was so excited to see him! "Sure, I'm on my way now mama, I love you" I say, managing to hear Jotaro say how annoying mama was being again, mama just replying with 'OK'. Although at first I didn't like how he treated mama, I began to realise that only the way he talked to her changed, he's still in love with her cooking!
I gather my things, putting my trainers on as I rush out the door, running all the way to the cafe. I was happy to see Jotaro, and so walked up to him placing my hand on his shoulder, "Sup big bro?" I ask, the tomboy side of me coming out a little, he just grunted in response as I sit between Mr. Avdol and grandpa.
I'm not going to go into detail, but grandpa basically explained about stands, and a man named Dio who had stolen his grandfather's body in order to survive. I felt my head hurt at the mention of his name and his history, you see, grandpa only knew I was the child of an old friend as I had a burn mark of a star on my neck, something that was burned onto my families neck to show our loyalties to the Joestars. But the pain of my head quickly subsided and it was almost as if an old memory had slipped from my mind but I couldn't remember what it was. I decided not to mention it, but Jotaro was looking at me with a knowing look, I expect he'll bring it up later.
After learning about Dio, grandpa shows us his power as he breaks an expensive looking camera, and the image that turns up is terrifying, I looked at an image of a man with a chiseled body, glaring menacingly at us, his beautiful hair and hands cover his face, as the background was ominously black. It sent a shiver down my spine as I held the hem of my shirt tightly, it was as if the man was looking at us through the picture.
When we arrived home, everyone went straight to bed, too exhausted by the days events, of course Jotaro and I stayed up for a little longer, as he vaguely explained what happened when he was in jail, how Mr. Avdol had a stand named magicians red who could control fire. Eventually, Jojo went to his room to sleep, as I stay awake, watching the moon loom over the sky until day arrived again.
Jotaro woke up first, as we both get ready to go to school together, eating the breakfast mama had prepared as soon as she woke up. I ate a bit of toast and gave the rest to Jotaro who ate up every bit, before we got up and go to get our bags and put our shoes on as brother opens the door, but before we can leave mama comes running towards us, "You almost forgot your goodbye kisses!" she said, kissing me and Jotaro on the cheek, I smile and wave as Jotaro just grumbles stating how mama was so annoying.
Our walk was peaceful silent as we walked, that is until we bumped into Jojo's fangirls who began to follow behind us, the incident of two days ago when I snapped at them put me on edge as I began to feel a little guilty and walked closer to Jojo, however, I was shoved to the side by one of the girls, making me lose my balance and fall over, I could of sworn that the girl scoffed a little but I brushed it off, Jojo hadn't noticed as he continued walking with the girl on his arm, I think she asked him a question but I didn't hear as the rest of the girls ran past me to catch up with him and I hissed, looking at my hand to see a cut on the back of my hand, blood slowly trickling down my wrist as I felt tears prick at the corner of my eyes, knowing the girl had meant to hurt me, the obsession was going to far.
I was shocked that these girls were willing to push me away to get to Jojo, literally, I stay on the floor looking at the ground, anger starting to fill me and the tears threatening to spill. I wait silently for the girls to leave with Jojo so that they couldn't see me like this and go around them to school, but I hear Jotaro angrily shouting at the girls for some reason as they begin to squeak, but when I hear my name being called, I look up to see brother rushing towards me, pushing the girls out of the way, instantly looking at my hand. I smile up at him, "I tripped and I must have caught my hand" I say, but unfortunately for me, I was a very bad lier, the tears still present, and anger still making my body shake, but he decided to leave it, helping me up before walking with me, walking through the girls, pushing them out the way, a hand on my shoulder, he looked down on me again and I knew what he was going to say, "I'll go to the nurses office as soon as we get to school Ok?" I smile reassuringly, but he just turns his hat down and sighs.
As we walked, I couldn't help but feel we were being watched, an almost menacing feeling looming over us, though no-one around me seems to notice. I look back to see if there were someone watching us, and I was right, a man with our uniform stood to the side of the street, painting, he doesn't look too intimidating, however, his soul is odd, it's shaped almost like a tree, and flows like water, it's emerald branches has a sort of green and white tape running around its trunk, and even though I could see it, it was almost as if a dark fog was consuming it, and I can't seem to know what he was thinking or what his personality was like, I have been able to see people's souls and know what their personality is like as well as what they're feeling, apart from brothers, ever since I could remember.
I look away, trying to ignore his presence as we walk towards the stairs, when all of a sudden, Jotaro let out a pained grunt as he begins to fall down the stairs, I try to reach out, to grab his hand, leg, shirt, anything to stop him but nothing worked, as he fell, and for the first time I see his Stand, a large third had reaches out for branches, slowing his fall allowing him to land safely in the bushes at the bottom of the stairs. My legs are sent into autopilot as I rush down the stairs faster than all his fangirls, using the air around me to make sure I don't fall too. When I get to him, I see his leg has a gash in it, the girls all try to speak to him, but we didn't pay attention to them.
Suddenly, that menacing presence approached us, as I turn to look up the stairs, the boy was there, walking down. His reddish brown hair was short par a long and large curl that came down the side of his face, beautiful purple eyes gazing down at us, but they seemed clouded and dark. He approached us, handing a handkerchief to Jotaro, telling him he better clean thee wound up as he walked away.
Although I hadn't noticed at first since I was still new at school, but Jojo jumped in and asked if he was part of our school, to which the man gave his name, "My name is Noriaki Kakyoin, I'm a new student." And with that, he turned away, walking off.
Both me and Jotaro walk together to the nurse's office, two boys were already there, claiming to be sick. The nurse tended to my hand first, cleaning and bandaging the wound, but there was something off, her soul seemed to be wrapped in the same thing that Kakyoin's soul was wrapped in. I thought nothing of it, just assuming they have a similar trait, it was as if it was slowly strangling the swan shaped soul, it put me on edge, but thought nothing of it since she was acting the same, as she accuses Jojo of being clumsy since the other two boys insist that Jojo would never be hurt in a fight.
I stand and wait for brother to be seen as the nurse takes the scissors in order to cut his trousers and I could already tell where this was going, as Jotaro insists that he take them off instead of ruining them.
My face forms a smile, taking the seat Jotaro sat in as he stood to take them off. The nurse chuckles and turns to the two boys. Picking something up and saying that she will prove they're not sick, but suddenly, I see the green tape force her soul into a different position as she begins waving the item around, ink spilling everywhere, "What are you doing?!" The boys asked frantically, she tells us that she was resetting the thermometer, but the item in her hand was a pen.
I panic as she forces the pen into one of the boys eye, "Take a closer look!" Her voice was distorted and hysterical, the boys scurry out as she turns to me and Jotaro, "What do you two think? You're not going to tell me this thermometer is a pen are you?!" I'm pushed out of the way by Jojo as she launches herself at him, her wrist being caught but her strength was incredible, managing to pierce his cheek with the pen, and by instinct, I force the air around her to become dense, the pressure halting her from moving forward or back, however, her shoulder seemed to dislocate as she forces the pen deeper past Jotaro's cheek, the amount of energy I used was almost gone, as I'd never had to make the air so dense.
I was so focusing so much that I hadn't realised Jotaro had began to speak to someone, as he suddenly forced the pen from his cheek and smashed his lips to the nurse, I was so confused at first but understood as I noticed Kakyoin sitting on the window, he must be the one doing this, but I was getting weak, the last thing I had seen before my body fell unconscious was Jotaro pulling away, his stand also retreating, pulling a green thing from the nurse using his stands teeth, it's pattern's the same as the tape I see around the nurse, but that's all I had seen, the pressure around the nurse dissipates as she falls, my body also falling as I fell into deep sleep.
