Ash walked with Kiawe in her arms as they went for the student council. "I hope my mom doesn't kill me for not coming home immediately," Ash said as Kiawe looked up at her.
"You had your first stand fight against me and that's what you're worried about?" He said as Ash sweatdropped. "Well, it's not like I'm used to all this. I still don't understand this curse." She said with a sigh as Kiawe looked confused.
"What do you mean by ''Curse"? I don't see any curses." Kiawe said as Ash gestured to her body. "This is what I mean by a curse." She said as Kiawe laughed.
"What's so funny?" She asked as Kiawe stopped. "It's no curse. It's your stand ability." He said as Ash tilted her head. "No, my ability is to generate energy. I don't know anything about this whole sex swapping thing." Ash said as Kiawe rubbed his chin.
"True. That is curious. Your stand might be too powerful and created two bodies to not harm you with it." He said as Ash looked confused. "So you're saying my stand is so powerful, it created an entirely new body just so I can use it?" Ash asked as Kiawe nodded.
"As you learn and grow with your stand. There is a chance that the ability will merge the bodies and you will gain use of both abilities." Kiawe said as Ash gasped.
"So that's how my stand works?" Ash said as Kiawe perked up. "We're here." He said as Ash looked at the room with double doors.
Ash opened the door and saw four people standing inside and they turned and gasped at Kiawe's condition. That was when Ash realized how this might look.
"Wait, I can explain! I uh… well what had happened was…" Ash stammered as Kiawe shook his head. "Thought this one was an enemy stand user. Turns out I was wrong. Mallow, can you patch me up?" He said as the green-haired girl walked up and took him away from Ash and summoned a bottle of perfume.
Ash was going to question what it was but as Mallow sprayed it, Kiawe's wounds were healed. "So that must be another stand." She thought. Kiawe stood up before walking off into another room. "I'll grab another uniform. You all introduce yourselves to him." Kiawe said as everyone turned to Ash in confusion.
"Him? But you're clearly a girl!" Mallow said as Ash rubbed the back of her neck. "Uhh yeah, I can explain. Got any hot water?" Ash asked as a blue-haired girl summoned a blue water pistol and fired it at Ash.
Ash was blasted dead on and landed on his back as he looked up at the girl. "Thanks…" He said as he stood up and dusted off his clothes that had already dried.
"My name… Is Ash Ketchum. And this is my stand, Pikachu!" He said as he summoned Pikachu. The others all nodded as the green-haired girl walked up to him. "My name is Mallow! You might've heard it from Kiawe just now." She said cheerfully as Ash nodded towards her. "Nice to meet you." He said as Mallow nodded back. "Likewise. Always nice to have more allies!" She said,
The blue-haired girl walked up. And waved. "Name's Lana. Nice to meet you." She said with a slight bow as Ash nodded towards her. "Nice to meet you." He said as Lana showed her small blue water pistol with an orange tip. "This is my stand." She said as Ash looked at it.
"Really? I thought all stands looked like people…" Ash said as Mallow had a small laugh. "Not all of them! Stands are a physical manifestation of your psyche. It can be almost anything." She said as Ash nodded dumbly.
A blond boy walked up and looked at the floor. "My name is Sophocles. I'm the president of the computer club! It's not a club yet but it will be when we get more members! Or when I get more members!" He cried as he turned red. "Y-you probably don't care about this… sorry!" He said as Ash stepped back slightly.
"Uhh, no problem man! W-what's your stand?" Ash asked him as Sophocles finally looked up. "Uh, it's called Togedemaru! I can't really show it since it doesn't have a physical form though…" He said as Ash nodded. "How the hell do you discover a stand that even you can't see?!" Ash cried in his mind.
He then turned to the blond-haired girl at the desk looking at the room Kiawe entered. He put his hands in his pockets and walked up to her.
"Hey!" He said as the girl turned around. "Oh hey. I'm Lillie." She said as Ash nodded before looking at her expectantly. She seemed confused before she caught on. "I don't have a stand. I can only see them." She said as Ash nodded with an "Oh"
"Good to see you're getting along well," Kiawe said as he walked into the room. Everyone nodded to him as he sat down at the desk.
"Alright, I have work to do so if you'd all like to go home you are more than welcome." He said as the others nodded. "Yeah, I need to help out my parents at the shop!" Mallow cried as she ran off.
"I got swimming club," Lana said as she walked off as well. Sophocles left as well without a word and Lillie stood up and bowed to the two before walking off.
Ash turned to leave but Kiawe stood up. "Hey, Ash!" He cried as Ash turned back towards him. "What's up?" He asked.
"Can you come by tomorrow? I want to talk to you about something." Kiawe said as Ash nodded. "Sure." He said as he walked off as well.
Ash left the school and started to walk home as he sighed. "Man, this day was weird. Stands, stand users, my ability isn't a curse…" Ash continued to think of these as he walked to the bus.
On the way, Ash then heard something in the trees next to the road. "What the…" He asked aloud as then something went flying at him. "What the heck?!" He cried as he jumped back.
The thing missed him by a hair as Ash fell and breathed heavily. "A-an arrow?! Who would shoot an arrow at someone?" He asked as he stood up.
He walked over to the arrow and inspected it. "What kind of arrow is this?" He said as he reached over and grabbed the arrow.
At that very moment, his sight was robbed from him and Ash gasped before falling to the ground. "W-what the hell?!" He cried in shock. He looked around hurriedly as everything around him was darkness. It was like he was seeing with his eyes closed.
He even went to touch his eyes and cried out in pain when he poked his eye. "What is going on here?!" He cried as he panicked.
It wasn't long before something stabbed him in his shoulder and he cried out in pain once more as he fell over.
He then pulled it out and tried to look at it. "It's no use! I can't even see what hit me!" He cried as he held the object. He then took a deep breath and thought about the situation. "Ok. I got hit with something. It feels long and wooden and… it's an arrow!" He cried.
"Someone is firing arrows at me. And when I touched that other arrow all this bizarre stuff started to happen!" Ash thought.
"So touching that arrow caused all of this… could this be a what was that? A St- stand ability?!" Ash thought as another arrow whizzed past his head.
Ash then started running away as more arrows rained down on him… or at least he tried to. He ran into trees and tripped constantly as he struggled to not get shot. He eventually felt a tree and dove behind it as another arrow shot near. "Ok I can feel things… that's one plus." Ash thought as he looked around.
He still couldn't see but he might be able to hear the enemy around. He rushed over to the trees and started feeling along the ground for some sticks. He found some and then waited.
Another arrow fired at him and he barely dodged upon hearing it. He threw sticks back but his strength wasn't enough to reach.
"Crap! I can't throw that hard!" He thought before he had a moment of realization. Another arrow was fired at Ash as the raven-haired boy glared up at it.
Pikachu knocked the arrow awayas the arrow bounced harmlessly off of the metal on the stand's hands.
"Now I've figured you out!" Ash thought before he gave some sticks to Pikachu and when another arrow came it threw the stick at the same area the arrow came from as Ash dodged the arrow.
A cry was heard as Ash's vision suddenly returned and he saw green hair as someone fell out of a tree.
"Gotcha!" Ash cried as he raced towards the tree. The second he got there he summoned Pikachu and punched at the area around the tree… only to see no one.
"What the heck?!" Ash cried as he looked around. "There was someone around here, I know there was! Where did they go?" Ash thought as he continued to frantically search.
His search ended early as he cried out in pain once more and his vision was robbed from him. "No no no! Not again!" He thought as he looked around once more as an arrow pierced through his arm.
"UUGGGH!" He cried as he fell back and hit the ground. "That arrow was way too close!" He thought. It was almost as if it came from directly in front of him.
"Wait a second." He thought as he started to listen. Another arrow came out and Pikachu deflected it and Ash opened his eyes.
Ash then took the arrow out of his leg and Pikachu shattered it as Ash moved that leg to lay on the ground as his other leg was in a kneeling position as his right arm wrapped around it and his other hand rested on his right cheek and he glared at the darkness.
"I've figured you out! You can hide in the darkness and cloak yourself just like my eyesight with your arrows!" He said as Pikachu came out once again.
"And now that I know that…" Ash started as Pikachu started charging energy. "I know how to defeat you!" He cried as his resolve reached its peak.
