Ghosts and Ripples, Part 1
Is the Order a Rabbit? belongs to Manga Time Kirara, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure belongs to Hirohiko Araki. If that were the case I would have made such a crappy chapter title name like this one. Ugh.
Still asking you guys what the main ship will be or support of an Eyes of Heaven spinoff. This fic is unpopular as fuck, goodness. So for an audience, let me spell out some things Joren likes that you don't know! Let me see...paizuri...maid outfits...bikinis...people not talking about his fetishes...
I don't know why everyone concluded Skennix was a Joestar, find out this chapter...or the next one. Dunno, I know how this story ends and all the characters but I don't know where this story is going.
If you enjoy this fic, review, fav, and follow for Koichi the best cinnamon roll.
STORY IS NOW!
In the night, Sharo stared at the other matching cup Rize and her bought. Before she went to sleep, her mimd was filled with so many questions. How did Joren learn the [Ripple]? Why is Joren wrapped up in this situation? Will Rize drink this cup with her?!
"Oh my gosh!" She jumped up. "I forgot to tell JoJo-kun my JOOOOOOOOOOB!" Sharo then dug her face into the pillow and began hitting her face against it. "Why...am...I...so..stupid!"
"Huh..." The girl didn't notice that a figure was watching her as she whined. "Damn, she's insecure." He went towards a folder, Sharo still not noticing. He slipped his hand into it and took out a piece of paper from the bag. "Let's see...so that's where she's working at? Niiiiiiice." The figure then vanished into the air, the girl not even noticing his presence at all.
"So you're teaching Sharo-chan about your [Hamon] stuff?" Cocoa asked Joren who nodded, Joren wore his work outfit as Cocoa was in her uniform.
"The proper term is the [Ripple]. Yes, yes I am." He confirmed. "Also, I can't teach you. Potential [Ripple] users are more scarce than [Stand] users so the art is technically obsolete. Sharo's learning because it's too dangerous for her to have a [Stand] and she needs to protect herself."
"Aw..." She wanted to lay on a railroad for a train to cut her up into three pieces. "But what you have is so cool! You're a master at it!"
"I'm not a master, my old man is and he hasn't trained in awhile." The boy told her. "Also if you keep training in it, it slows aging."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"WHAT?!" She grabbed him and began pulling him back a forth. "You didn't tell me that! [Hamon] can let you do that?!"
"Yeah." He seemed unfazed by the girl's reaction of his slight immortality. "My grandma was fifty but looked like she was in her twenties. Wonder if I'll still look sixteen when I'm thirty?" The boy wondered. "Damn, Sharo will hate me for preventing her chest to grow-"
Suddenly the door of the Rabbit House burst open, revealing Chiya running inside. "SHARO-CHAN HAS GOTTEN IN BIG TROUBLE!"
"Is it an [Enemy Stand]?!" Both Cocoa and Joren manifested [Earth Angel] and [Tusk]. Rize and Chino just looked confused and concerned at Chiya.
"No! Look at the flyer she gave me!" She held up the flyer, showing it was an advertisement that had a silhouette of a...bunny girl holding a platter with tea? The motto on the top was in kanji, saying 'We'll heal your mind and body'. Under was another one 'OPEN, Fleur de Lapin'. "I'm sure she's working at some scandalous establishment?"
"She has a job?" Joren looked at the flyer. "She never told me." Was it a brothel? Some fetish place with bunnygirls?
For some reason, he wanted to see. "So, where does she work?"
"I was too afraid to ask her directly!" Chiya shook her head. Rize came and gave an already prepared teacup. "Thanks a lot Rize-chan."
"No problem." Rize looked at all of them. "After school, we should see where she's working at. I won't mention that to her if I see her, we'll go see together, got it?"
"Infiltration?" Chino suggested.
"INFILTRATION!" Rize exclaimed, going commando. "Soldiers, do you have what it takes to become ghosts?!"
"Sorta!" Cocoa raised her hand, [Tusk] who floated around her saluted also. Joren wanted to mention ghosts were real but didn't want to frighten her.
"Don't underestimate the art of infiltration!"
"Yes, sir!" Chiya and Cocoa saluted Rize. Chino and Joren just looked at the scene before them, blinking.
"Now, follow me!"
"Aye, aye sir!"
"Where do you plan to infiltrate?" Chino asked them, Rize froze after that question. "You didn't think this through, did you?"
"Uh..." Rize trailed off. "Stealth vanish!" The girl then ran off but hit her head on the wall, making her fall on the floor. "Stealth coma!" She called out, raising her fist.
"Hey." Hol Horse looked at the coffin that housed his former boss. "Are you still projecting?" There was no response from the coffin. "You are? Oh, okay-"
"I'm up!" The coffin opened, revealing his disheveled boss inside. "I have learned something that is very important."
"What is it?"
"Joren has a new ally!" He cried out, grasping the Stone Mask. "She knows the [Ripple]!"
"Wait...that [Ripple]? The one Joseph Joestar has?" Hol Horse looked stunned at the revelation. "Does she have a [Stand] also?" He asked, fear running down his voice.
"No, it's too dangerous for her to have one." His boss explained. "She has shown that she's powerful already and has the potential that matches Jonathan Joestar."
"Jonathan Joestar? Joseph's grandfather?" Hol Horse remembered that Enya the Hag told him about Dio's greatest opponent whom he decapitated and replaced as his head. "But she's not going to see [Emperor] coming at her."
"If you say so." That made the man frown. "I think I should reveal myself."
"R-Reveal?" Hol Horse stuttered out in disbelief. "Are you sure?" His leader nodded grimly. "Should I be there with you or-"
"No." He got out of the coffin. "I'll do this alone. I'm going to get out of there alive, trust me."
After the school day, the four were sneaking by the windows of the place Sharo supposedly is working in. "My legs hurt." Cocoa moaned out, her feet hurting.
"Suck it up, Cocoa-san." Chino made another sick burn at the girl. "Should we stand up now?"
"Yeah, Sharo-chan needs our help!"
"Alright, everyone stand up right...now!" Rize made them all peek into the window, Joren and Tippy jumped in near shock at the sight of what they were seeing.
"OOOOOOOOOOOH MYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOD!" Joren yelled out, because the sight he saw was Sharo wearing a black and white maid outfit that showed off her legs a bit too much. Her maid headdress had two floppy ears at the side, resembling rabbits. She did a greeting pose that nearly made him have a heart attack.
"Welcome!" She greeted in her adorable voice. Not even [Crazy Diamond] could stop that heart attack now from dying now.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He grasped his heart. Sharo turned around and saw all of them by the window.
"W-What are you doing here?!" She pointed at them. "Scratch that, why are you spying on me! Why is JoJo having a heart attack?!"
Afterward, they all entered the inside of the place. Apparently Chino had to smudge Tippy on Joren's face just to wake him up. "Who-wha-" He looked around. "Why am I here-" He saw Sharo in a maid outfit, leaving him silent.
Except in his mind where he was screaming. 'HOLY SHIT, SHE'S SO CUTE. COCOA, MY BODY SCREAMS I NEED TO HUG HER! HELP!'
"Chiya thought you were working in a sketchy place." Rize told the blonde who jumped in surprise.
"N-No! This is a café that specializes in herbal tea." Sharo informed them. "These herbs have lots of beneficial effects. Chiya-chan, you should know better." Sharo then proceeded the spank Chiya with a flyer.
"Ow."
"Well, we can just hang out with you now!" Cocoa said. "That outfit and those bunny ears really suit you!" Cocoa tried to touch them but Sharo backed away.
"That's what the owner's into!" She then looked a Rize, cringing. 'Rize-senpai is the last person I wanted to see me like this!' She turned to Joren who was fixated on her for some reason. 'JoJo-kun is staring at me way too consciously! Is it because I didn't tell him I was working and gotta reschedule the training?'
"Lop ears might be a good idea..." Rize whispered to herself, imagining herself in a Fleur de Lapin uniform except it was a bunnysuit.
"Um...you look good in that!" The boy complimented suddenly, being red. "Didn't tell me you had a job."
"S-Sorry I didn't mention." Sharo then went up to his ear. "When are we doing training?" She whispered to him.
"I guess I could teach you a bit later when you get out." He whispered back. Unfortunately, all their other friends were busy watching them.
"Um...Sharo-chan?" Chiya called them out. "Why are you being dangerously close to JoJo-kun?"
"Y-Yeah!" Cocoa suddenly felt the urge to break them apart. "What are you talking about?" [Tusk] appeared next to her and her weaponized fingernails aimed unconsciously at them.
They backed away from each other, blushing. "Well, we should get going." Chiya mentioned. "I still have the AmaUsa to take care of. We need costumers to serve-"
"Excuse me, I'd like to order!" A customer raised her hand at Cocoa.
"Coming right up!" Cocoa immediately ran to her, everyone blinked at the mistake.
"Excuse me, I want to order!" Another one raised her hand, directed to Chiya.
"One moment!" The girl went to the costumer. Sharo looked around in sheer astonishment on what she was seeing.
"D-Don't confuse the costumers!" She ran after them, leaving Rize, Chino, and Joren.
"Guess waitresses are all the same around here." The Joestar said to himself. "Hope people don't call out for me."
"JoJo-san, you're cheating on Cocoa-san." Chino accused in a monotone voice, the boy's face curled into a horrified expression.
"I am not!"
"I'm confused." Rize went in. "Do you like Sharo or Cocoa because this is getting complicated-"
"I may be heterosexual but-" In his pants, he felt something. Not a boner but his phone vibrating. "Oh wait, I gotta take this call." He left them and headed outside. He looked at the number calling and it was his father. "Oh dear."
He put it against his head. "Hello?"
"Joren, thank goodness you picked up the phone." Joseph sighed in relief. "Where are you?"
"Outside another café. Why? Something wrong?"
"Something's always wrong in our family." His father retorted, Joren shrugged because it wasn't that far off from the truth. "It's something about Skennix."
"We have a witness? I'll just do some hypnotizing and-"
"No, Skennix had the Joestar birthmark." The boy blinked, wondering if his hearing died.
"What?"
"She had the birthmark." Joseph repeated, Joren's jaw dropped. "I heard your mouth fall."
"How...?" He tried thinking of the possible reasons how she had it. "Is she distantly related to the Joestars? She fused with something?"
"No, her parents were members of the old Passione and were killed during its takeover by Giorno. She then travelled around the world, working as a mercenary. The Foundation checked her family history, everything that was recorded showed no signs of both sides even being near London by that point."
"I got a bad feeling about this...I know this sounds redundant but call Giorno and reevaluate this thing again, maybe call Jotaro if we're desperate. Tell the Foundation to keep poking at what's left of her, hope they find answers."
"I'll tell them. You grew up to be a strategic young man, Joren."
"Yeah." The boy frowned. "The girls I gotta hang out are calling me JoJo."
"Really? It's hereditary then just as much as that mark."
"I'm adopted, remember?" He ended the call and looked at the Fleur de Lapin. "Ugh, I gotta teach Sharo the [Ripple] quickly before shit hits the fan."
"Shit WILL hit the fan." A ghostly figure Joren didn't see was floating above him. "It's influential time." He dove to the boy who was distracted by seeing Sharo in a maid outfit.
"That skirt is so short, I just want to snuggle her to bed. Cocoa can join too, of course-" He then felt a chill go up his spine. "What was that?" He turned his entire body around to look behind him but saw nothing. "Must be the wind. Why am I talking to myself?" He turned back to see the café in front of him. "Cute girls are drinking tea without me! Dammit!" He ran back inside. Meanwhile what floated in the sky was the ghost he was unknowingly passed through by.
"See you later, JoJo." The figure smiled before vanishing into the air, unseen and unheard.
"Seems like someone wants some tea." Rize noted as Joren hurried up and sat on the chair. "Joren, who were you talking to outside?" The older girl was curious at the boy, him being a fellow rich person and had some sort of mysteriousness surrounding him that bugged her.
"Oh, it was my old man." He told them. "What did you order me?" The girls all wondered why he talked to his father of all people. "No really, what did you order me?"
"So you were talking to Joestar-san?" Chiya repeated, without giving away that she met the man before. "What did he say?"
"Things like 'hope you're doing fine there' and 'don't come back with a baby'." They all jumped at that. "Just kidding, or am I? But WHAT AM I GOING TO DRINK?" He emphasized his question again.
"Sharo-san's getting you rosemary, like Chiya-san." Chino informed him. "It helps with stiff shoulders." Well that sounds like a helpful drink. Sharo came in on cue with a glass teapot with herbs within it and a pitcher of hot water and some teacups for them.
"Well, will you look at that-" Rize was turned off by seeing JoJo staring at the blonde with his eye twitching. "Hey." She waved her hand in front of him, getting out of his trance. "Our tea is here."
"Shoot!" He woke up. "Thanks, Rize." Sharo put the pot down and took out the lid then poured the water into it.
"Wow, so pretty!" Cocoa was mesmerized by the herbs being mixed with the water. Sharo then poured some tea in their cups and put a slice of lemon in each one, somehow turning them into pink.
"This one turned from blue to pink when I added the lemon." Chino looked at her cup, seeing the pure power of tea. Sharo came back to them, this time holding a platter of cookies with red filling.
"Would you like some herbal cookies. Baked them myself." She set it down on the table. Meanwhile, Joren resisted the urge to look up her skirt and discover secrets that may lead him to his death. "Oh yeah, Rize-senpai, I need to have JoJo-kun over later."
"Hmm?" Rize grabbed a cookie. "Why is that?" She glared at the boy like he was a pervert. The boy then realized Sharo is making an excuse for both of them and decided to play along with it.
"I need to catch up with my education. I may be homeschooled but I'm still a teen." He stated, only Chino and Rize not knowing what was happening. "I've asked Sharo to help me in educating at least for a short while until, I can reach everything up.
"Sharo-chan, is this true?" Rize then ate her cookie. "This is good."
"Y-Yes, senpai." Sharo covered her face with the platter cutely. "Don't worry, if he tries anything I can take him! I-In a different way!"
"H-Hey!" Joren protested. "I am not that filthy of a man!" Every girl then shook their heads, making the boy horrified. "N-No! Tippy! You believe I'm not that much of a pervert, am I?"
Tippy shamefully turned away, Joren's eyes went to the back of his head as he grasped his heart. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
'This is more entertaining than watching tea!' Cocoa thought, seeing her friend and roommate being thrown in a state of panic. Chiya and her reached for the plate of cookies and bit them. "Eh? I don't taste anything?"
"They taste sweet." Chiya ate her cookie. Sharo then laughed like a molester grabbing a child suddenly.
"You thought you drank normal tea but it was a me: gymnema sylvestre!" Sharo put her hands on her hip in a proud fashion. "'Gymnema' means 'destroyer of sugar'! When you drink it, you temporarily lose your ability to taste sweetness!"
"W-What?!" Cocoa had a darkened look. "Someone, give me mud to wash this tea off my mouth!"
"No." They all replied, making Cocoa feel karma for enjoying JoJo's suffering come back at her.
"You know, Sharo-chan used to drink that all the time when she was dieting." Chiya casually mention, making Sharo's confidence shatter.
"Don't tell them, stupid!" Sharo pleaded. Afterward they began finishing their cookies and drinks until it was all gone. "Done already? It feels like a sentence ago the food was still here!"
"Ah, I'm stuffed." Joren groaned out. "Never drank tea that much but I feel better."
"Let me get those." Sharo went over and began putting the dishes on the platter. The boy then spotted that [Hamon] was going through her palms as she carried the plate.
'She's already got used to the art so quickly! She's a prodigy!' He thought in his mind. 'I couldn't learn magnetism until my third month! I gotta tell my old man about her soon, she might end up better than him!'
"Sharo-san, do you need any help?" Chino offered but Sharo shook her head.
"No." She declined. "For someone so young, you're so mature. I wish I had a sister like you." Cocoa's face turned to one of a frightened person, then turned to one of a terrified person once Sharo patted Chino's head.
"Chino-chan's my little sister!" She jumped up in protest.
'This is more entertaining than wondering Sharo's potential!' Joren wanted to see Cocoa suffer a bit.
"What are you talking about?" Sharo asked in a deadpanned voice before turning to Chiya and Rize. "So are you more relaxed now?"
"I admit I do." Rize confirmed. "My shoulders seem to have loosened up." Chiya replied with a smile. "I feel more energetic." Chino said, the boy wondered how in the world Chino could be energetic with that voice.
"Hey, Sharo-chan?" Cocoa turned to the waitress."Can you make tea at home?"
"Well, they do-" Cocoa fell asleep. "She slept while I was talking..."
Apparently Sharo came to the Rabbit House after work, wearing her school uniform along with Chiya for her to meet up with her going-to-be mentor. Rize served them coffee as rain poured outside. "Guys, it's raining!" Cocoa pointed out the obvious, seeing it rain hard.
"No kidding." Joren spanked her head in response. "Stop pointing the obvious."
"You can't train with Sharo-chan if it's raining though." She told him, Joren merely shrugged.
"Nah, actually it improves what I'm going to teach." These words came out as a shock to the girl.
"But we'll get wet!"
"So? We can both just push it off and be instantly dry." He rebuffed. "Anyhow..." They looked at Chiya and Sharo grabbed their coffee mugs. Sharo was nervously looking at it.
"Are you sure you want to drink that?" Rize asked out of concern and Sharo nodded.
"I can't reject anything made by senpai, right?" She then gulped it down, then out of nowhere she began drinking it at an extremely fast rate. "YOO-WEEEEEEEE!"
"Oh shoot!" Joren then felt Sharo grab his arm. "SHARO, NO."
"GIRLS, JOJO! I FEEL SO HAPPY TO BE HANGING OUT WITH YOU GUYS!" She shouted, her cheeks blushing and voice loud and slurred. "YAAAAY!" Joren was being dragged across the floor by her much to his pain.
"Really?" Cocoa looked just as happy as her.
"WOO-HOO YES!" She let Joren go on the floor and ran towards Chino. "You're so fluffy and cute, Chino-chan!" She hugged Chino, her voice less booming being more accustomed to the drunkness.
"Let go of me." The drunk girl immediately ran to Chiya. "Your boobs are too big!" She didn't even grab the breasts, Sharo just pointed at Chiya just to say that and made a pointless boob joke. "Senpai!"
"E-Eh?!" Rize was confronted by a drunk Sharo. "Are you okay-"
"C'mon, senpai! We shall make delicious [Duwangs] together." Sharo wrapped her arm around Rize. "*chew*"
"Um, Sharo." Joren went towards her cautiously. "We got some 'educating' to do?"
"Oh right, JoJo-kuuuuuuuuuun!" The blonde's face was too close to his lips. It was if [Za Warudo] stopped altogether. "Let's go and pay student loans with each other!"
"What-" He was then dragged out of the Rabbit House by Sharo, being lunged onto her shoulder, her strength increased thanks to [Hamon] and they ran into the rain, her cheering like a maniac.
"Should we be worried?" Chino looked at them until they disappeared into the horizon.
"I'm surprised she got this much of a caffeine spasm." Chiya merely chuckled. "Don't worry, in less than an hour, it will wear off."
"WAAAAAAAAH!" Sharo wanted to cry. "Did I do all those things in front of Rize-senpai?!" They went through the woods, Joren didn't know why he wanted to go here for training but they were anyway.
"Never thought someone would go that insane after drinking coffee." He told her as they went through. "Where am I going?"
"Don't ask me!" Sharo then smacked her hand against her face. "Senpai..."
"Shut up about Rize! I'm wondering where we are!"
"Why are we going this in the rain?" The girl asked. "Can we delay this when we're dry and it's sunny? You said that your [Ripple] works best when it's sunny!"
"That 'when' it works best." He reminded her. "'Where' it works best is when water is around, plus I can easily teach you how to get rid of water on clothes immediately."
"Really-" They arrived at a clearing in the woods. "You plan on taking me here? Are you...trying to do lewd things on me?!" She shrank down against a tree and Joren frowned.
"I'm not a pervert, or a molester." The boy looked around, remembering this is where he and Hol Horse met during his first day in Kaanin. "I went here before, it's quiet and empty, perfect for training." He activated his life detector for a second and found nothing around him but birds and trees and lone rabbits eating vegetation.
"Alright, if you say so, JoJo-sensei." Sharo went up to him, he jumped back before shaking his head.
"Don't call me sensei."
"But you're my mentor right now!"
"Yeah but after you called me out on being a rapist, that's creepy." He then went to the middle of the field. "I still don't like being wet even if I know instant drying. You coming?"
"Wait!" She ran towards him, huffing. "My stamina's a bit low."
"Bullshit, even though the only training you have is breathing I've seen you use the [Ripple] without knowing."
"R-Really?"
"Oh yes, now I gotta teach you the basics" He stretched his arms into the air. "The energy we use is call [Hamon], energy flowing in your body that is like the sun's rays. You can heal yourself with it and fought undead-ARE YOU LISTENING?"
"I'm still catching my breath!" She then stood up straight. "C-Continue."
"[Hamon] is controlled throw breathing like I taught you, it's crucial to even using [Hamon]. [Hamon] can even be transferred from one you user to another to make it more powerful and can flow through anything and make it a weapon."
"A weapon? A-Anything?"
"Oh yeah." He grabbed some tufts grass on his palms. "If I use [Hamon] through it..." Glowing energy flowed from his arm to the grass. "I can turn these into knives!" He then grabbed a blade of grass and stabbed his hand with it, to Sharo's shock. "Ow, that hurt."
"A-Are you okay?!" She went towards his palm and saw some blood trickle out. "You said you can heal yourself, do it!"
"No, YOU heal it for me."
"WHAT?!"
"C'mon, might bleed out eventually." Sharo sighed and grabbed his palm. "KOOOOOOOOOOOH!" She breathed out and his wound began closing.
"Great. Got the hang of this." Her mentor swung his arm a bit. "[Hamon] can flow through nearly anything, liquids best that's why we're in the rain." [Hamon] surrounded the Joestar and raindrops began going to each other to form a bubble made of water. "You can manipulate them to anything you want with [Hamon]; like a magnetic!" More droplets began going towards the ball. "Or just freeze it." The ball then became an orb of ice. "Or just fill it with [Hamon] and just blow it up." He chucked the ice at a tree where it blew up into shards safely away from them.
"So, anything can be a weapon?"
"A bit but there are some weaknesses. You gotta breath constantly, and [Hamon] cannot manipulate objects that are manufactured like metals or plastic but can pass through." He warned the new [Ripple] user. "Now, it's time to teach you [Sendo]. You know any kung-fu movies?"
"Kung Fu Panda?" Sharo answered, the boy nodding.
"A great movie. What if you had no weapon with you, or an effective weapon to use [Hamon] with? We use martial arts that go along with [Hamon] known as [Sendo], moves that the makes the enemy taste [Hamon] unclose and personal. Together, they are called the [Ripple]."
"So do I need to learn this [Sendo]?"
"Of course! You're going up against [Stand] users, you can't see them. Your reflexes and senses must be at top shape to even face one." He then went to her ear. "Plus, [Hamon] slows aging-" Sharo then punched him with her fist. "OW! I WASN'T MOLESTING YOU!"
"Oh, sorry!" She apologized. "Wait, it slows aging?" Now she looked interested and distressed such a thing will be possible. "[H-Hamon] can do that?"
"My grandma, who was born in the 1800s looked around twenty but was fifty thanks to constantly training." He told her much to her shock. Sharo got on her knees. "Hmm?"
"Please..." She pleaded. "Do not teach me."
"WHY?!"
"Look at this!" The maid patted her chest. "Chiya-chan and senpai have bigger breasts than me, even Cocoa has a better chest size than me! Growing up is the only way of getting at least to Cocoa's size!"
"Okay, okay. You only stop aging when you constantly train the [Ripple]. I'm not a master yet and I was going to stop training until I was going eighteen to twenty-something." He eased her worries. "Shame actually. You seem very proficient in using the [Ripple] and I don't want to see your adorable face getting old soon." That side compliment made the girl blush.
"J-Just teach me your [Sendo] already." She wanted to get rid of this conversation already. Joren nodded and raised his fists into the skies. "What are you-OH MY GOD." His arm suddenly lengthen like it was rubber being pulled. His hand was balled into a fist then his arm returned to normal once the arm stretched back to his body. "What was that?!"
"You're asking too many questions. I did a [Zoom Punch], it's a technique were I dislocate and stretch the joints to extend my arm. I use [Hamon] to lessen the pain." He explained what he did. "It works great for surprise attack, they can't react quickly enough."
"Is there more?"
"Yeah...a lot more. You ready?" She nodded which was a good answer. "Alright, here we go..."
For a few hours, Joren was teaching Sharo the ways of the [Ripple] and was surprised by her quick learning skills. She already seems to know how to use her [Hamon] to use magnetism, sharpen objects, and filling them with doses of [Hamon]. 'At this rate, she'll surpass me!' The boy thought. 'Maybe I gotta learn from her.'
"KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" Sharo took a deep breath, before launching her fist into the air in a [Zoom Punch]. "J-JoJo-sensei! I did it!" Her fist came back to her, making her fall on her grass from the kickback. "Ow."
"That's what you get for calling me sensei." Joren picked her up from the floor. "The kickback seems to have increased tremendously thanks to your small frame, you gotta pour a little but of extra [Hamon] to make up for that and for your physical strength because look at these small things."
"Alright..." She rubbed her skirt. "So, is there anything else in the [Ripple]?"
"Ah yes, [Overdrives]." The boy told her. "When you pour a lot of [Hamon] into an object or a move from [Sendo], they will become powerful techniques known as [Overdrives] and you can imagine they're quiet useful especially if you gotta deal with a lot of a things."
"So, can I learn an [Overdrive] then?"
"Well, since you just did [Zoom Punch], I guess we can." The two [Ripple] users went on battle stances. "We'll first use an [Overdrive] through your hands, something for beginners who have hands. [Ripple Overdrive] is like a karate chop that poisons whoever it hits with [Hamon] until they blow up if they're not strong enough."
"Wait, am I going to do that do you?" Sharo voiced out, actually wondering if she'll hit him. "You said you'll be blown up if I hit you."
"Don't worry, I'm strong enough to resist." He reminded, readying for a stance. "C'mon and do it."
"Okay..." She looked uncertain before shaping her hand into a karate chop and then putting all the [Hamon] she could into her hand and raising it above Joren. "[RIPPLE OVERDRIVE]-"
"What skill! I had to see it for myself." Sharo cancelled her attack and looked behind her along with Joren. A man who's height was a bit taller than Joren walked towards them, face concealed by a hoodie absorbing the raindrops. "So, you're Joren Joestar and Sharo Kirima? Hi, I'm-"
"[Enemy Stand]!" Joren brought out [Earth Angel] and Sharo's [Hamon] went through her fists. "Who are you?!"
"Hold on, hold on." The figure removed his hood revealing his face. The two were awestruck seeing how feminine but yet boyish the man looked. He had pure white hair that was reached all the way down to his chin, had piercing yellow eyes and fair skin. The girl was shocked that another man was able to mimic her friend's pretty boy face and Joren was shocked that this man somehow knew who he was. "You're thinking I'm hot, right?"
"Kinda." Sharo quietly answered. The boy aimed his [Stand]'s fingers at the man.
"Tell us your name!"
"Okay, I'm-" Somehow the man collapsed and what manifested out of his body was a see-through version of him like a ghost. The ghost then floated up, frowning. "Maybe I'd be better just to show you. Also get a kick out of looking at your reactions."
"[EARTH ANGEL]!" Joren cried out and the missiles flew towards the ghost, going through him obviously. "Huh?"
"I'm a ghost, dumbass." He stated, floating towards right in front of him. "Don't worry, this won't hurt..."
"[ZOOM PUNCH]!" Sharo threw a punch at the ghost but it went through him also, this somehow made chills go up her spine. "It's not working, JoJo-sensei!"
"Don't call me sensei-" The ghost went entirely through the boy's body to his horror then passed through. "W-Wah-?" He was confused, he didn't feel dead or different at all after. He looked behind him to see the ghost evaporate away as if it were disappearing back into the body. "[EARTH ANGEL]!"
His [Stand]'s missiles went towards the body of the man. Right before any missile could make contact, they just froze. "J-JoJo?" Sharo looked at saw that he was sweating, the missiles not even budding and just being frozen in midair. The man stood up, the missiles still not moving as he wiped the wet grass off his clothes.
"If that stopped your little crazy attack then I'll just talk." The man began to introduce himself. "My name is Tsumugu, pleasure to meet you." Tsumugu greeted them.
"How...are you making...me not kill you?" The boy huffed out, attempting to use his missiles at him but they wouldn't budge close to him. "My body...is working...against me!"
"That's the power of my [Stand], [Whiplash]. [Whiplash] sounds better than [Ghostbuster]." Tsumugu smirked. "As a ghost, I can 'influence' people by going through them. It's not mind control or forcing your body to obey my command, it's your own conscious saying what you're doing wrong. Brilliant, ain't it? Hell, I did it to you earlier when you were drinking at the café just to bring you here! Didn't even notice!"
Joren grit his teeth, angered that he couldn't do anything right now. "Fuck yourself." The Joestar sighed and made the fingers go back to his [Stand]. "Are you one of the little minions sent by your boss?"
"Minion?" The man began laughing much to their confusion. "Dude, I AM the boss." They nearly stumbled back in shock. "Will you let me talk?"
"J-JoJo! He's the leader of the [Stand] users that went after us?!" Sharo aimed her fists at the man. "Should I just use [Zoom Punch] on him?"
"I may have a [Stand] that can't do any kind of damage but I can still defend myself you poor maid!" Tsumugu declared, both of them wincing because they knew Sharo had money problems. "I've been spying on you all for months already! I spied on you, I spied on Cocoa, I spied on Chiya, I spied on Rize, I spied on even that damn rabbit!" For some reason he looked like he was having a tantrum. "I needed sleep!"
"Bastard, nobody watches cute girls in the shower but me!" [Earth Angel] threw the missiles again, directed at Tsumugu.
"I didn't spy on anyone naked of course but-" The missiles were not stopping. "Oh. You're one of those people? Some people who have extremely strong wills can break my influence after a while-" The missiles exploded, erupting in smoke that made Sharo jump as in her perspective, someone just blew up for no reason.
'I-Is this the power of JoJo's [Stand]?!' Sharo stared at the boy who was concentrating his eyesight what was supposedly left of Tsumugu. "Is he gone?"
"I wouldn't say that!" To their horror, a voice spoke from the smoke. Once the smoke dissipated, Tsumugu was still alive...
But was surrounded by a wall made of water.
"W-WHAT?! H-HOW?!" Joren couldn't find the words to speak as electricity was bursting out of the water occasionally. "You're a [Ripple] user!" He accused, pointing at the mastermind behind this bullshit.
"Yeah, I know." Tsumugu chimed, not caring if he was in mortal danger. "I learned after a [Ripple] master came to me when I was in Nepal because he saw potential in me." He drifted off. "That was years ago, huh...time flies. If [Stand] users attract each other, then [Ripple] users just have it a bit harder."
Joren's mind was screaming this man was dangerous, something radiated off him that screamed danger. Sharo was nervous because he has a power she can't see and was a likely more experienced [Ripple] user than she was.
"Who are you?" The girl demanded, trying not to quiver. "JoJo-kun said you stole things from the Speedwagon Foundation and sent [Stand] users to us! Why?"
"Aren't you feisty?" Tsumugu chuckled heartedly, even though the atmosphere around him was frightening, he acted like a friend for some odd reason. "Look at the back of his neck, the left shoulder specifically."
"Wha-" Joren pulled down his work suit's collar then turned his head. One look and it nearly had his balls drop. "T-This...HOW DID YOU DO THIS YOU SON OF A BITCH?!" He shouted and cursed at Tsumugu. "HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO MAKE THIS APPEAR?!"
Sharo looked at what the enemy was talking about and looked at the back of Joren's neck. She titled her head back, wondering if it was a tattoo because it looked too good not to be one.
It was a star.
"Well, if you're asking who I am might as well tell you birth." Tsumugu proclaimed, smiling. "My name is Tsumugu only. Although my last name of birth is useless, my proper name in full is what I refer to myself now.
"W-What is it?" Sharo grasped onto a clearly horrified and confused Joren who was in shock.
"Brando Tsumugu; in proper English it's Tsumugu Brando."
TO BE CONTINUED
[Stand] Name: [Whiplash]
[Stand] User: Tsumugu Brando
Destructive Power- E
Speed- C
Range- B
Durability- A
Precision- B
Development Potential- D
Abilities- The [Stand] allows it's user to go as 'astral' or ghostly projection where they can fly and go through objects but can't interact with things in the physical world, even other [Stands]. The ghostly form can posses non-[Stand] users but not actual [Stand] users, it can only 'influence' them like planting a command in the target's subconscious but this can be broken through extreme willpower. Somehow with every possession and 'influence', it leaves a star-shaped birthmark at the back of the neck to the victim. The [Stand] has a true form.
I actually found a great cover image for this fic which is Chino wearing Jotaro's hat. I wanted to use it but someone drew it and I can't even ask because the artist Japanese and his entire page is in kanji and I have to lay to make for one contact so we're stuck with an unsatisfied cat.
Also TSUMUGU BRANDO WHAT. His [Stand] is named after not a song but a movie of the same name...but was named after a song. Kinda narm if it would were to be called [Ghostbuster].
Yay, it's Christmas break so I can write better then die horrible. Thanks Jesus, I get a holiday where I get free stuff. But really, we know we're all excited for the final episode of DiU.
Also I found a video on YouTube in kanji. It was clips from Is the Order a Rabbit? and they replaced Cocoa's lines with Kira's with his theme in the background. Likely never going to find the video, one of the few pieces that combines JoJo and this moe anime.
If you like this fic, follow, fav and review. See ya guys next time.
