OK so hello. It's been a while since I posted my written work on the worldwide web so I'm a little nervous about this because sometimes, OC inserts aren't too welcomed but I'm gonna do it anyway. I think I'll start by just testing the waters and posting this first chapter of my current writing project and if I get positive feedback, I'll dedicate my life to finishing it so I could publish a new chapter monthly or something, or maybe even just publish a chapter upon finishing said chapter idk I assume this will be a LONG project, my friends.

After the past five days, four of them behind bars and the last pretty much fighting for his life against a fellow student, Jotaro Kujo was just looking forward to an ordinary day. He wouldn't even mind his mother stopping him right before he walks out the door to give him a goodbye kiss on the cheek or even the wave of girls trying to get close to him on his way to school. He wouldn't even mind the boring lectures given by teachers in class, at least it would be something to get his mind off of this Dio stuff and nonsense of evil spirits, no, Stands. Even if it was one day, he wanted it.

So the day began relatively normal, his mom giving him a kiss on the cheek, Jotaro replying in quite a harsh way and Holly answering back in a cheerful manner, as if being called a bitch by her own son didn't bother her. Now on his way to school, he was preparing himself for the unwanted attention by 90% of the female student body, until he felt something bump into his leg. He looked down curiously, still keeping a straight face, and it turned out that that something was a little boy who had accidentally ran into his leg and as a result, had fallen down on his butt.

"S-sorry, mister," the child apologized, too focused on dusting off his pants and heading back on his path to even look up at Jotaro.

What's got him in such a rush? Jotaro thought, but then realized that it might drive him off course to his most wanted normal day.

He planned to just ignore it, till he noticed more and more people running towards the same direction as that little boy. He grew more curious and his urge to check things out was huge. He looked in the popular direction, then looked back, trying so desperately to ignore it, until his eyes widened, unsure of what he just saw. He turned back and after his double take, he was certain he wasn't mistaken, that was indeed, a Stand.

He hadn't seen many besides his own, his grandfather's, Avdol's and Kakyoin's, but it seemed like an odd one. It strangely resembled a black marionette with many white masks around the head, as if its emotions were changed by switching the masks like you'd do with a toy figurine. He couldn't quite make out what exactly it was doing on a count of all the people crowding around.

But wait, why were these people crowding around? They couldn't possibly see the Stand too, could they? Before Jotaro knew it, his curiosity got the best of him and he was pushing through the crowd to find the answers to his question. He finally reached the front of the crowd and there it was, a small marionette show that consisted of a cut up cardboard box of a stage and some clearly homemade puppets. Next to the poorly made stage, he noticed a jar with the yen symbol written on it which was most likely for donations. Jotaro assumed that the teenage girl running the show was the Stand's user. The marionette-looking Stand seemed to have its hands on top of hers, helping her control the smaller marionettes

"Hello, everyone!" the girl spoke through her small marionette, without moving her lips at all. "Thank you all for coming and donating, this makes us very happy!"

The crowd that mostly consisted of young children and their mothers' starting clapping and honestly, Jotaro didn't see a reason he should be staying, this is nothing more than a cheap marionette show, nothing worth investigating. At least that's what he thought, until she spoke again.

"Who wants to see a very neat trick?" she exclaimed, now through the second marionette. The crowd roared and was full of "Me"'s and "I do"'s until she removed her hands off the wood controlling her marionettes and letting her Stand do all the work, which to these people, looked like magic. After this little "trick" people were lining up to donate, which seemed to make the girl very happy. Was she just using her Stand to con people? Jotaro decided to get to know this fellow Stand user a little better and he got into line with everyone else.

Finally reaching her table, she looked up at him almost instantly losing her grin and feeling intimidated by his large figure. Her Stand had switched masks from a big smiley happy expression to one that looked more worried and then suddenly disappeared, causing the marionettes to fall to the ground and some of the audience to look confused.

Jotaro and this mystery girl made eye contact and she stared at him for a bit before grabbing her donations jar and getting up.

"Sorry, gonna hafta cut it short today, folks. See you all next time!" she said before waving off with a wryly smile and sprinting away, leaving her cheap equipment behind.

"Hey, wait!" Jotaro shouted out to her before running after the teen himself. For all he knew, she could be sent after him by Dio as well, he wasn't letting her get away.

She ran as fast her little legs could carry her, it wasn't really till this moment, actually, that she considered herself to be "little". She had always thought of herself to be about average when it came to height or just size in general. But now, encountering a whom she assumed to be high schooler like herself, due to him being in a school uniform, she had never felt so small in her life.

She thanked her lucky stars that she had worn what she did today, long orange shorts that just reached the top of her knees with the same colour suspenders attached to them and a white tank top. Though she could do without the white scarf she decided to wear around her neck and her matching knee highs. Her worn out shoes filled with many small holes didn't help either but she then thanked God again she decided to keep her light brown hair in a short bob cut for most of her life.

In the end, it's not like any of this gave her much of an advantage, the boy was catching up to her quickly and she was in such a panic she ended up running into an alleyway without noticing, a dead end.

I'm finished! I'm finished! I'm finished! she thought over and over to herself, as she slowly realized the boy's shadow now towering over her. She turned around slowly, gripping hard on her little money jar as if it'd save her life and faced him, showing him how nervous she was. Sweat was running down her face and him? He didn't even look like he'd been running for a good 10 minutes, heck, he didn't even look like he'd been jogging for 10 minutes.

This guy's a beast.

"Y-yo," she simply said with a wave as he closed in on her.

With each step he took she felt like she was shaking more and more. Finally when he felt like he was close enough, he had bent down so they were now face to face. The fact that he had to bend down this much just to accomplish that made her feel even smaller, even more intimidated. From this view, she could now see that his eyes were a light, blue-ish green. All these years she had been pretty proud of her emerald ones but she had to admit, he's got her beat in the prettiest eyes contest. She was finally snapped back into the real world once he opened his mouth to speak.

"That trick before, how did you do that?" he asked so nonchalantly, as if he already knew the answer. Did he see the spirit too? But just in case he didn't she should play it off, she wouldn't wanna intentionally give it away, seeing how she was still new to this thing as well. The only thing she figured out is that it wouldn't harm her. And that it was great for raising money.

"I-it's just an illusion," she replied, trying not to sound as nervous as she was and failing greatly. "Magic doesn't really exist, silly," she finished with a nervous laugh.

He didn't seem too satisfied with her answer and she noticed that, making her fear for her life all the more. She looked down at her feet to avoid his gaze but that didn't make her feel any more calm.

"I saw it."

Shit.

"Saw wh-"

"Don't play dumb," he said in a cold tone, cutting her off. She wasn't sure how to respond to this. It was now obvious this boy saw her spirit and wanted her to tell him more about it. The unfortunate thing was she didn't know much either. Though, she had a feeling that if she stayed quiet for too long, he'd grow upset, so she spoke what she knew.

"There's this thing following me, a spirit I think," she began. "I-it's not harmful or anything! It's just I have no idea where it came from. I thought I was the only one who could see it, till now." The boy didn't even seem surprised by her words, he just kept the same expression. He was impossible to read, there's no way she could even remotely tell what in the world he was thinking.

It was now becoming clear to Jotaro that this girl had no such mission to try to harm him in anyway. From her reaction and explanation, he could tell that she hadn't gotten her Stand too long ago, especially from the way she referred to it as a "spirit" like he used to. But in this type of situation he had to be safe, he didn't want a repeat of yesterday's events, for all he knew she could be playing a trick on him.

He stood up straight again and the girl seem relieved that it looked like he was finally done with her, but he had something else in mind. He turned to face the direction they came from and motioned for her to follow before he started walking out of the alleyway.

"Follow me," he commanded and without protest, she nodded and did so.

"What's your name?" she asked. He stayed quiet for a bit before answering right as she was about to open her mouth to ask the question again.

"Jotaro," he replied not even looking down at her.

"I'm Haru," she introduced herself not even waiting for him to ask. "Where are we going, Jotaro?"

"To see my gramps about that spirit of yours." Haru blinked in confusion then spoke again.

"Is your gramps an exorcist or something?"

"Not exact-"

"Then how can he help with my spirit?"

"Well-"

"He's not really gonna get rid of it, is he?" Jotaro was trying his best not to snap at Haru but it was getting a bit hard.

Why the hell are teenage girls so annoying?

"Good grief," he began to reply, trying to stay calm. "You ask too many questions."

"Well, this doesn't happen to me everyday," she retorted. Jotaro sighed before replying.

"Me neither." For some reason this made Haru smirk and he couldn't figure out why.

The two had finally reached their destination. Haru was guessing this house either belonged to Jotaro or his granddad. It was a cute traditional Japanese house over a small bridge with many rooms and lots of plants and miniature trees outside, it seemed so peaceful and it was so much different from where she grew up and where she lived now.

"Take off your shoes," he ordered as he was taking his own off on the porch to where she realized he wasn't wearing any socks. She did as she was told and kicked off her old shoes instantly regretting not being more gentle since it worsened the holes already present.

He slid open the door and had to bend down a little to fit inside the house which was quite amusing actually. Haru followed him inside when suddenly a woman had entered the room and spotted Jotaro.

"J-Jotaro! You're home early again?" the woman who Haru assumed to be his mother asked in a worried tone. "You didn't get into another fight did you?" The woman then spotted Haru behind Jotaro and gasped before running toward her.

"Oh dear, you're not bleeding anywhere are you?" the woman asked, lifting Haru's arms and looking around various parts of her body as if looking for a scratch.

"N-no, ma'am, Jotaro hasn't harmed me in any way," Haru told her and she sighed in relief and ended her search.

"Thank goodness," she replied.

"Where's the old man?" Jotaro asked, completely ignoring what just happened.

"I think he and Avdol are keeping an eye on Kakyoin," she replied and Jotaro immediately began walking in the direction where this Kakyoin was.

"Haru, let's g-"

"What's your name, ma'am?" Haru asked, cutting Jotaro off. The woman smiled at being asked to introduce herself and did so.

"I'm Holly, Jotaro's mother. But feel free to call me Seiko," Holly said while giving Haru a smile and peace sign.

Oh, like "holy", Haru thought to herself. She didn't really understand English too well but she got the gist of it.

"It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Seiko," Haru said, smiling back.

"It's nice to meet you too, Haru! You know, I thought Jotaro would never be interested in girls, but now he's finally bringing one ho-"

"Haru!" Jotaro called out to her again, cutting off his mom.

"Coming!" Haru ran over to Jotaro as she was still laughing a bit from Holly's assumption.

They walked through the outdoor halls and Haru was just so fascinated, this house looked like it cost a fortune. Jotaro opened another door and Haru saw three men inside. One was another high schooler with red hair whom she assumed to be Kakyoin since he was sitting on a futon and had a bandage wrapped around his forehead. The other two were a bit older, one man who had a grey beard and moustache and was probably Jotaro's granddad since they had the same eyes. That left the other, dark skinned man to be the Avdol that Holly had mentioned. They all turned in her direction, looking a bit shocked and Haru just smiled nervously and waved.

Jotaro had explained to Joseph what happened on his way to school and how he ran into Haru. He mentioned her Stand and how she used it and also that he was kind of suspicious of her. Avdol and Kakyoin were trying to distract her by asking her some questions so she wouldn't eavesdrop on the grandson and grandfather's conversation.

After the two were done talking, Joseph approached Haru and she looked up at him. He noticed she seemed a bit intimidated so he gave her a friendly smile and she mirrored his expression. He then sat down next to her preparing to interrogate.

"So, young lady, what's your name?" he started simple.

"Haru," she replied.

"Last name?"

"I'm sorry, that's all you're getting," she replied and Joseph frowned. "What's your name?"

"Joseph Joestar."

"Whoa, so cool," Haru exclaimed and he chuckled. "So, Mr. Joestar, do you know how to get rid of this spirit?"

"Ha! Just like Jotaro," Joseph said, and Haru raised an eyebrow. "Jotaro, thought the same thing. What is it with you kids and evil spirits?"

"Th-they exist, y'know!" Haru said, feeling a bit embarrassed. "What is this then?"

"A Stand." Before Haru could tell him she didn't know what that heck that was, he began to explain.

Haru was quiet after that. None of the men in the room could tell what she was thinking, reading her expression was out of the question since she managed to hide her face in her short hair. Joseph was about reach for her shoulder before she looked up and she was… smiling? Her eyes were even lit up.

"Cool, cool, cool!" she chanted and no one knew how to take this. "So it's like a superpower then? I'm like some sort of superhero?"

"I-I guess so?" Joseph answered.

"Haha, awesome!" she exclaimed. "I'm gonna hone my skills and take down criminals." Haru struck a pose and everyone else was just speechless. None of them had reacted this way. She was definitely one of a kind.

"Yeah, well, before we let you do that," Joseph began and it seemed like Haru had snapped back into reality. "We just need to check if you're not a threat, to be safe." She was a little offended but nodded.

Joseph reached for Haru's forehead and lifted up her bangs as if looking for something and sighed in relief when nothing was there and then lightly knocked on her forehead which made her flinch a bit.

"What was that?" she asked holding her forehead after he pulled away.

"There's no flesh bud on her," Joseph announced and most of them seem relieved while Haru was still confused.

"What the heck's a flesh bud?"

"So, she's not working for Dio?"

"What the heck's a Dio?"

"Clearly, she's not." Before Haru could ask what the heck's going on, Holly entered the room with a tray of tea for everyone.

"I thought you all could use a drink," she said with a smile and everyone reached for a cup. Haru was not too fond of tea but didn't want to be too rude so she figured she could force herself this once.

"Thank you, Mrs. Seiko," thanked Haru and Joseph had a sour look on his face either because he much preferred American coffee over Japanese tea or at the fact that Haru had called his daughter Seiko instead of Holly, the name he had given her.

"So, Haru, would you like to spend the night here?" Everyone else was shocked at Holly's sudden invitation and Joseph nearly choked on his tea as Haru continued to drink. When she was done she nodded, which made everyone even more surprised.

"Are you sure your parents would be okay with this?" Holly asked and Haru nodded.

"Actually, I live in an orphanage and I'm a little too old for them to keep me on constant watch. They won't min- oh." Haru was reminded of something after mentioning the orphanage. Her jar!

"What is it?" Holly asked.

"The donations," she replied, looking at the jar next to her. "They were for my orphanage, but I forgot to stop by to bring it to them."

Avdol shook his head.

"Don't worry, I can take care of this for you," he said picking up the jar.

"Thank you so much! The address is under the jar." Avdol nodded then was off to deliver her donations.

"Hey! Back to her staying here. You c-" Joseph was interrupted by the sound of his daughter's own voice.

"Papa, could you go get another futon for Haru?" she asked.

They ended up getting into an argument about how the Japanese do things and how he was totally against it then they argued over how to address Holly while Haru just continued sipping her tea, trying not to gag. Jotaro just sighed in annoyance and walked out to get some fresh air.
