Chapter 3: F-Forty Five degrees!?

After 5 minutes of running, Ryuko finally made it to the Mankanshoku household. Along the way she had run into Mako's little brother, Mataro who has surprised to see Mako unconscious in Ryuko's arms.

"R-Ryuko!? W-Why's Mako unconscious?!", he asked, panicked.

"There's no time to talk right now, Mataro! We need to get Mako home to your dad!", Ryuko told Mataro.

"Right!", Mataro nodded in determination to save his sister. Sure she was annoying, but he still loved her and she loved him back. He was determined not to lose her a second time…

"Mataro! Go on ahead to the house and I'll meet you there. I want you to get the before me so that you can tell your mom and dad to prepare for Mako. Can you do that?", Ryuko asked of Mataro.

"Yes! But...are you sure? Are you sure you'll get there in time?", Mataro asked anxiously.

"Don't worry Mataro! I will.", Ryuko assured him.

"Just hurry on to the house already!".

"Ok!", Mataro answered as he nodded his head in determination. He started sprinting, putting more of his energy into his legs to run as fast as he could.

Ryuko was a little surprised by the anxiety and determination that Mako's little brother showed. She wasn't really expecting that kind of response from him. Actually she was expecting a smug, lazy approach and a snarky comment to go along with that too. But then she remembered again. How Mataro had lost Mako once. And how his reaction was what she was expecting now. But really she had remembered it to have changed as soon as the realization that Mako may never come back, hit him. Ryuko thought back to the time when Mako had been kidnapped by these life-fiber monsters that had taken control of Honnouji Academy. Ryuko was so consumed in her thoughts that she hadn't realized she had already arrived at her destination.

"HEY RYUKO! Hurry up and bring her inside already!", Mataro had shouted, which brought Ryuko back to her senses. Mataro was standing in the doorway with the door open, which allowed Ryuko to see Mr and Mrs Mankanshoku frantically preparing the bed for Mako to lie in.

Ryuko then went inside, carrying Mako with her. She then walked over to the bed and placed Mako gently onto it. Shortly after placing Mako on the bed, Mr and Mrs Mankanshoku walked into the room. Mrs Mankanshoku was holding a bowl of water and a small towel and placed the bowl of water next to the bed. Mr Mankanshoku then walked over to the bed and placed his hand on Mako's head, feeling how hot it was. Much to his surprise, her forehead and neck were very hot.

"It seems that Mako has been struck by high fever. But still, I can't thank you enough for bringing her here.", Barazo (Mr Mankanshoku) told Ryuko.

"It's nothing.", Ryuko replied.

"It's nothing? Why, you saved my sweet little Mako!", Sukuyo (Mrs Mankanshoku) said to Ryuko.

"Really, it's nothing. I would have done this anytime and anywhere.", Ryuko told Sukuyo.

"And besides you still have Mataro to thank for helping you prepare before I got here.".

"Yeah, I really had no idea! I had thought that this was another one of Mataro's little pranks and so I didn't believe him at first. But then he looked me in the eye and told me that he was telling the truth. I saw it in his face that he was telling the truth. So thank you Mataro as well for being honest for once.", said Barazo.

Mataro blushed a little

"Aww, It's nothing! After all, Mako is safe now and that's all that matters.", Mataro said with pride, boosting his ego.

After hearing this, Senketsu burst into tears.

"Wahhh!", he cried. Of course no one except Ryuko could hear him.

"Aww, stop crying you big baby!", Ryuko told Senketsu.

"I'm sorry I just can't! After all I know I'm repeating myself but you are so lucky to have a family like this. A family which loves and takes care of each other.", said Senketsu.

"Yeah, I know.", Ryuko replied. She then thought to herself, "I just wish it could have been like this with Dad and whoever my mom was...". Her thoughts were then interrupted by Bazaro speaking.

"So it seems Mako has caught a high fever. But never in my life had I seen such thing!".

"Huh? Why?", Mataro asked.

"Because I had just checked her temperature with the thermometer and the heat is off the scales!", Bazaro explained.

"Off the scales? Show me!", Ryuko said as she shuffled around Bazaro looking at the temperature on the thermometer. It was 40℃ and Mako was sweating and breathing heavily.

"F-FORTY!?", she exclaimed in great surprise. She hadn't bothered to learn that much from the various schools she had transferred to, but even she definitely knew that 40℃ was way higher than the average human body temperature (37℃).

"W-Wait! Where's Mrs Mankanshoku?", Ryuko asked noticing that Sukuyo was no longer in the room.

"She went out to buy some ice packs, as soon as she saw the temperature.", Bazaro answered.

"What?! And you just let her leave without me?", Mataro asked his father intently.

"Don't worry, Mataro. You've already done enough. Besides your Mom be here really so-", Bazaro said and was interrupted by the door opening.

"I'm back!", Sukuyo declared while holding a plastic bag.

"Wow! That was fast! Thank goodness you got here.", Ryuko told Sukuyo.

"AHH! Her temperature! It's rising!", cried Mataro in shock (Imagine it sounding like Smol Boi, Koichi's voice but different).

"Really?! What is it now?", Bazaro asked Mataro.

"I-It's forty two!", Mataro stammered.

"FORTY TWO!? Quick Sukuyo, pass me the ice packs!", Bazaro told Sukuyo who responded by nodding her head and passing two ice packs.

"HURRY! IT'S STILL RISING!", Mataro panicked.

Bazaro quickly placed two ice packs on Mako's body, one on her stomach and the other one on her forehead. He then checked the thermometer. It was now hovering between 44 and 45℃. But much to everyone's relief, it dropped to 39℃. Everyone let out a huge sigh of relief after seeing this, knowing that Mako was safe for now. Even though her temperature wasn't 37℃, Ryuko knew that because of Mako's exposure to Goku Uniforms and their Life Fibers, Mako had been strengthened and so her immunity and resistance to such things were higher than an average human's.

"That was too close. If we had taken any longer than that, then Mako may have really died on us!", said Bazaro.

"This can't go on any longer. We need to take her to a real Hospital", he con

"What do you mean?", Ryuko asked.

"Well I thought you would have noticed by now but this fever Mako has is no ordinary fever.", Bazaro said to Ryuko.

"Yeah I definitely noticed alright.", she answered.

"This is just bizarre! One minute you're walking next to Mako who's all fine from what you've told me, and then the next minute she's fainted and has a very high fever! She's extremely lucky to have survived this, because any normal human being should have died by now from such an illness.", Bazaro told Ryuko.

"Well that's Mako for you. I can guarantee you she'll get through this. She's strong...", Ryuko assured Bazaro and in turn, Sukuyo and Mataro who were listening as well…


"Just what the hell is this place?", Jotaro asked himself as he walked around the town, looking at the endless rows of depressing looking shacks. He was then interrupted by a bunch of young looking students who oddly enough, all looked the same. They all wore the same uniform which was a grey turtleneck with matching grey pants and black star printed on their chests. They also all had the same coloured bowl-cuts. The similarity in appearance gave Jotaro a 'Nazi' sort of vibe.

"Hey you!", one of the students called out to Jotaro.

"Yeah? What the hell do you want?", Jotaro replied, his face being stoic.

"You shouldn't be out here! It's dangerous to be out here alone at this time of the day!".

"So? I don't give a shit. I can take care of myself quite well, so get lost.", Jotaro said to them menacingly.

This wasn't what the student were expecting. They expected the "No-star" to suddenly flee back to their home as soon as they were spoken to. But this No-star actually had the audacity to not only talk back, but even tell them to get lost!

"Get lost? How dare you! We are superior to your kind, you dunce!", said the tallest student.

"Didn't you hear me? I said get lost. You're wasting my time and patience.", Jotaro said calmly, covering his eyes with his hat. (For dramatic, serious effect)

"That's it! He's getting on my nerves! LET'S GET HIM!", the shortest student shouted.

The group then jumped and rushed at Jotaro. Jotaro didn't think he would need to use and expose his stand, in case any stand users were watching, and so he put up his hands in a stance. He blocked the first punch thrown by one of the students, and then dodged a second one thrown by another student only to be kicked and sent flying into a garbage can behind him. The students stopped and took the time to laugh at this.

"Hahahahaha! Did you see that? He got yeeted into the garbage behind him!".

"Yeah, he even got some trash on his disgusting uniform!".

"I'd say it suits him.".

"It's like trash on trash!".

"Hahahahahaha! Nice one!".

"It's what he deserves for thinking he had the balls to stand up to us, just like that disgraceful slut Ryuko Matoi.".

Hearing all these insults and roasts continually drained Jotaro's patience until he seemed to have no more left. Finally he had enough. Jotaro then stood up wiping away the trash and gunk from his uniform.

"You already annoyed me by ruining my uniform...but you just had to go ahead and insult me and my uniform.", Jotaro said in a pissed off tone. The students noticed he seemed even more menacing than he already was before and this sent chills up their spines. They gulped nervously.

"S-So what? What are you going to do?", the youngest one asked in mockingly manner although he was quite nervous and was sweating a little.

"I was planning to hold back on you guys until now. So when you wake up in the hospital, just remember I gave you a chance.". Jotaro told them.

Jotaro then summoned Star Platinum. As soon as he summoned it, the students' started sweating.

"W-What the hell is that?!", one of them stammered.

"Wait...you can see it?", Jotaro asked all confused.

"Well….yeah? Why?", another one asked.

"Are you a stand user?!", Jotaro demanded. This confused the students.

"A stand user?...What's that?", they all asked in unison.

"Don't play dumb with me! If you're Stand Users then pull out your Stands!", Jotaro told them. This only confused them more, even annoying some of them.

"Guys this probably just some hologram projection he's using to trick us, just like what happened during the Tri-City schools raid. He's just trying to scare us away! Don't fall for it!".

"Well if that's the case then what's the worst he could do? C'MON, LET'S BEAT HIM TO A PULP!".

"Well too bad…", Jotaro said under his breath. He actually felt a little sorry for them as they didn't know what they were getting into. Oh well!

"ORA!", Star Platinum yelled as he punched one of them in face and sent them flying into a wall. Seeing this happen terrified the rest of the students. One of them in the back had already started walking backwards slowly. They all then fell back onto their knees

"P-Please, forgive us! We didn't really mean any harm to you! We just wanted to try and teach you a lesson, that's all! Please don't hurt us!", they all said in unison as they sat on their knees, begging for Jotaro's mercy. Of course Jotaro had already experienced this plenty of times in the past, too many in fact. He did feel a little sorry for these students as they had no chance against his Stand. But really they needed to be taught a lesson.

"Yare Yare daze... you scum are all just the same, aren't you?. Well it's about time I taught you a lesson in not messing with me. Especially when you mess with my uniform and my 200,000 yen pants."

As if this wasn't already enough to make the students shit their pants, Star Platinum hovered over to where they were. He loomed over them, like a tsunami about crash on to the land and sweep through, destroying everything in its path. The students cowered in fear, but once Star Platinum smiled, they all knew it was over…

They waited, with their eyes shut hoping not see anything while they died to a huge, purple, muscly man. But after waiting a while, they felt nothing. They slowly opened their eyes, one after the other only to find that Jotaro was walking away with his back to them. All of them gave out a sigh of relief knowing that they weren't in trouble anymore. But that didn't mean they weren't curious as to see why the No-Star didn't kick their asses and end them.

"H-hey...w-why didn't you beat us up?...", one of them asked Jotaro as he walked away. Jotaro then stopped and paused for a moment before turning around, facing them.

"Because you're not worth my time.", Jotaro said before turning his back to them once more and walking away with his uniform tailing out behind him like a cape. The students were no longer in danger but still felt quite cautious now even though the No-Star had already left the scene. Seeing the No-Star just leave them had made most of the students mad, because it quite humiliating seeing as how they were literally begging for their lives minutes earlier. But one student in particular seemed to rather admire this No-Star for some reason. It felt quite unusual for him as he was just a One-Star who would just follow orders blindly and live a mediocre life with his family. This feeling was one that made him want to be just like the man who was able to stand proud in their faces and even turn the tables on them. The student stared in awe as the No-Star walked away coolly and dramatically.

After leaving those idiots, Jotaro had even more questions now.

"What the hell was up with those students' power? I actually felt like I was having a difficult time with them without the help of my stand. If I hadn't pulled out Star Platinum and sent that punk flying, then they probably would've actually overwhelmed me.", Jotaro thought to himself while breaking a sweat.

"Those couldn't have been normal people. Their strength, speed and reflexes managed to catch me off guard. But what really makes this strange is the fact that they could see my stand. How in the world were they able to see Star Platinum? Initially I had thought they were stand users and that they were hiding it but really, no stand user would have tried that hard just to hide their power. Not even that man named Kira Yoshikage according to what I've heard from Josuke. Instead they just completely cowered in fear. And to think I actually held back on them and gave them mercy. It seems I still did have some patience left in me. They sure are lucky as hell that I wasn't like Josuke, who'd probably kill them if they insulted his hair.", Jotaro continued to ponder.

"Yare yare daze. This is all just getting weirder and more bizarre every minute."...

TO BE CONTINUED


FINALLY THIS CHAPTER IS FINISHED. Sorry this chapter took a while to write and makes it even more disappointing is that it's only the THIRD DAMN CHAPTER. I noticed that his Fanfic is actually getting some attention, way more than I thought it would and it actually surprises me. What should I expect when this is the only F***ing JoJo x KLK fanfic. Also when I was reading some of the reviews, I came across one that seemed to really stand out from the rest , "IMO" (Sorry if I didn't make myself clear xD). It helped me consider rewriting the previous chapters but I decided that I'm only gonna do that when I finish writing Chapter 5 or finish writing Chapter 10. I'll think about as I write more chapters. Anyway that's all and thank you for reading this crap Fanfic that I made out of boredom and that I'm only continuing because I feel like I'm letting down people that actually manage to get hooked on it.
