- He is ... Cars !
Eirin stared at the dark-haired man who was looking for the stone. She wondered a thousand times how he had found that place and knew the red stone was there .
She took a deep breath while trying to figure it out until she heard him talk.
- The Stone is not here, let's look in another room - Eirin hearing that didn't stop to think
She picked up the bow and the arrows that were with her and aimed for the door, ready to shoot the moment they would leave through the door. "But it would be impossible! The only way to kill him is the sun!"
The curly haired man blew the door with a simple move of hands and then that was the signal for Eirin to attack them. Before attacking the silver-haired woman just stared as coldly as possible to Cars and then a sentence came out of the mouth of two and echoed in the halls of the grand mansion:
- So we meet again ... ¹
- Sir? Are you ok? - She tried to touch him but before she could reach him a bright blade quickly went towards her not giving the small girl time to close her eyes.
The blade stopped right before reaching her neck and the small trembling girl just looked at the man who now pointed the blade coming out of his arm to her neck. He looked at the girl and saw some kind of artificial eye in her chest at the side where the heart is and coming out of the eye, thick wires that roamed her body and at her feet. The wires were connected in the shape of hearts, one on each foot .
- You… Are you a human? - Unable to speak anything, the girl just shook her head in a negative response and then the man pulled the blade on his arm away from her neck and " stored " within it again - If you are not human, you can go...
Without understanding the greenish silver-haired girl just stared at the man looking for answers to what he meant by that. Did he knew where he was? Was he a Youkai?
The man turned to the great bamboo forest and turned to the village. "Where should I start" he thought as he watched the places surrounding him with his eyes. The girl touched the man's arm and he then looked at her coldly.
- Sir... Are you looking for something? - The little girl asked trying to make the man look away
- Nothing that matters for you - He replied, still coldly to the girl who stopped for a few minutes and suddenly appeared in front of the man - But... How did you do this?
- What are you looking for? Tell me! - She asked insistently
In a blink of eyes the small girl disappeared in front of him and reappeared on his back continuing to insist over and over until the man finally gave in to so many question. " It is a red stone that turns anyone immortal" That was all he said and it was enough to make the girl let go of him. She pointed to one direction in the middle of that forest and then said with calm, but happy tone:
- There are immortal people there - She smiled at the man - Why don't you go there?
Disappearing again, this time permanently, the man then realized that was his chance to go after his desired Stone of Aja.
Giorno was lying on the bed thinking about what had happened in the late afternoon. His father, Dio Brando, appeared in front of him. His shock at seeing the man in front of her was so great that he didn't even knew what to say when he saw him behind Sakuya .
- I want to protect her... - Giorno said quietly to himself - ... But... Why?
Over and over again the blonde asked looking at the ceiling or turning over in bed trying to find an answer to his questions.
Thinking but not getting any answers, he didn't heard the knock on the door because he was too concentrated. Giorno soon found himself faced by Sakuya that looked at him worried and then after resuming consciousness, he frightened.
- Sakuya! - He exclaimed
- I'm sorry... I did not realize you were so concentrated - Sakuya 's calm voice made Giorno lose his serious pose.
- D-Don't worry... I was just thinking of something...
- Is there a problem ? - She sat on the bed
Giorno took a deep breath and stared at Sakuya, sitting on the bed too.
- Please be careful about that man... - Giorno said - Sakuya... He's dangerous ... I've heard stories about him...
- ... Giorno, are you worried about me ? - She just got a little shocked - Giorno... It's alright, I know my way around with vampires...
- Can you promise me you 'll be fine? - He said blushing a little for he was losing his pose
- Huhuh... I promise...
She then stood up and said it would soon be dawn, thus leaving the blonde alone in the room again... Giorno realized that he had spent almost the whole night awake thinking about what had happened and worrying about a maid he only knew for 3 day! Ugh! Why do I have to be out of my context? He thought as he threw himself on the bed again.
- It's been awhile, huh? - She said a little closer to the three - I was wondering what had happened to you... They've told me your kind had been extinct...
- Hm... It seems that the information came incomplete... - Cars said as he stared at the nurse
- Well, I can even imagine why you're here... But it's a shame that is already dawning... You should leave...
- No! Eirin, I will not leave here empty handed! Give me the Stone of Aja now! - Cars shouted authoritarian, thinking that this would change Eirin's pose
- So, pass through me to get it... - Eirin 's words were a provocation to start a fight right there...
Already carrying the bow in her hands she stared at him waiting for a single move...
Cars then went slowly toward the lunarian, the blades ready. She did not dare look away or blink even for a second, such was the concentration that she could hit a fly on one of Eientei's walls from where she was. The man soon began to walk faster and then started running, Eirin then started shooting arrows, one at a time to not waste ammo if the target resolved to change its rout.
She took small steps backward in order to keep the distance, but would soon end up cornered or he would catch up to her. Cars easily dodged the arrows , but had to contort his body in the oddest positions to deflect the danmaku shots that spread in several directions, all while continuing to pursue the woman.
In an attempt to finish it all at once, he darted into the air, jumping the equivalent to twice his monstrous height and started whirling down with his arm blades toward Eirin, who in turn saw in the movement of the other a perfect opportunity for a counterattack.
In the blink of an eye, she shot an arrow surrounded by several danmaku shots on the roof, slightly ahead of where she was standing and slid beneath Cars shooting more arrows at his back. The hole in the roof allowed the sunlight to enter, even if partially blocked by the leaves of the bamboo that grew around the building, enlightening him as he landed.
Thinking quickly, Cars leaned on the ground with one hand and pushed himself back with a mortal, throwing himself to a shady spot, he deflected the arrows that would hit him right between the eyes and lunged with all his strength, almost sliding in the floor with ready blades aiming at Eirin's neck, she in turn prepared a unique and tremendous shot. Both were immortal, but any of the blows would cause incredible damage, the concentration of the two was broken by a cry:
- Eirin! Stop it! - A figure with long black hair entered the room where this fight was taking place, it was Kaguya Horaisan
- Princess! What are you doing here? - Eirin asked surprised that Kaguya had left the room so suddenly
- Eirin... We have other problems! - Kaguya was serious as she stared at the nurse coldly - The Stone of Aja gone!
To be Continued...

It 's me, I know that it seems I had died, but it was a problem with the charger that prevented me to continue the fic for a LONG time... It was eating me up inside until a few weeks ago the new charger arrived o /
Yeah... I was what? Nearly 8 months away and in those eight months a lot has happened, for example I created new sequels for the fic ( Yes, that means you will have a sequel ! ) I watched Danganronpa (and was trying to play the game , but guess what? The COMPUTER (the desktop one... Where I let other things besides the fics) NEEDS REPAIRS = D ! ) and Wow! Jojo even here, man!
Well, I'll try to write more chapters over the weekend, since school is pretty harsh and my tests will start in a few weeks...
Please forgive me for leaving the fic stop without warning... You can kill me for this...
