All Jouta Kujo Wanted Was A Quiet Life

Italy was pretty.

And thankfully, Jotaro wasn't there to ruin it with his stoicism.

He met Hirose an hour ago, gave around 100 euros (apparently some Italian boy stole his luggage a week ago. Took Jotaro a day to link him money.)

So right now, he was walking down the street of a country he didn't know, trying to make out a language he didn't speak and trying to contact a father he hated.

Life was tough at the moment. Again, at the fault of Jotaro.

Jouta looked at the time on his phone.

11:51 - 6/12/2001

His put his phone away.

Ann-Margarett, [Bye•Bye•Birdie]

"H-Help!"

Jouta heard a feminine shout, and almost immediately perked his head up.

The air went cold.

He turned his head to the yell came from, seeing a black girl - 5'1, a spiky maroon bob of hair, wearing a blue school uniform with ladybug pins on her chest - running from a sleek, floating, blue being with a purple aura. It was bird like, which reminded Jouta of Mr. Avdol's Magician's Red.

"A-an... an enemy stand!" He yelled a bit too loudly, which summoned Charmy Green.

Thank god the area wasn't too crowded.

The short girl booked it for Jouta, which wasn't hard. She was only a good twenty meters away from him.

She leaped into his arms - in his arms. Jouta felt her shaking, sweat dripping of her arms.

A hollow voice rang from the stand.

"Oh, you're an interesting one..." The stand crossed its winged arms. "Jouta Kujo, age 12, stand is Charmy Green..."

What the hell?

The stand placed itself on the ground, and had a boy of medium height walk behind it. "Much more interesting than that pickpocketing thief there."

The kid had short, jagged wheat blond hair and tan skin, wearing a lime colored suit.

"Who the heck are you?" Jouta gritted his teeth. "Why attack some kid with your stand of all things?"

"Oh, I'm Ann-Margarett." He said with a scoff. "And before you ask, this is my stand, [Bye•Bye•Birdie]."

"You didn't answer my question."

"She stole my wallet. And... she had the aura of a stand user." He answered, glaring at the girl in Jouta's arms. "Riki. No knowledge of her last name. 14 years old. Stand..."

"[Crime & Punishment.]" The girl -Riki- said, wiggling out of the taller boys arms.

She turned her head to Jouta. "You gotta beat his ass, sir. My [Crime & Punishment] can't do anything to him."

She lowered her head. "I know it's there but I just can't send it out."

"I'll -" Jouta said, "I'll try."

Ann-Margarett scoffed. "Your stand can't do anything to [Bye•Bye•Birdie]!"

Jouta's muscles tended up, and Charmy Green gave a soft ora. Which made Jouta cringe.

I could unwind Charmy's leg and surprise him. He doesn't seem to know what my stands does...

Jouta lifted him leg up, realizing he looked like a complete idiot.

"Charmy Green!" Jouta yelled loudly, doing a kicking motion.

Charmy Green mimicked, but his leg jolted out - but it turned into a sticky, see-through green wire.

It struck [Bye•Bye•Birdie] in the left arm, which made white blood spurt out.

It was meant to stab right into [Bye•Bye•Birdie]'s eye socket - killing Ann-Margarett instantly.

But hey, deep down, Jouta was glad it missed.

He wasn't like Jotaro - who killed some guy in Egypt.

Blood squirted out of Ann-Margarett's shoulder, which made the blond winced.

He gave a hearty laugh. "You're certainly an idiot. Let me tell you what my stand can do."

Jouta gave him a confused looked.

"I'm able to know everything about you know - because you drawn my blood." He slapped his hand to his face. "Gosh, Onii-chan, how would Jolyne react to seeing her brother doing something so stupid?"

Jouta froze. Jolyne...

[Bye•Bye•Birdie] lunged, and slammed a fist into Charmy Green's jaw.

This flung Jouta back, but thankfully his jaw was okay - just sore as heck.

"You shouldn't leave yourself open, didn't Josuke tell ya that?"

"Heck off." Jouta said threateningly.

"What else... oh, you hate your father, you'd rather not swear because of your seven year old sister...". He yawned. "Oh good grief. You're just like that girl, interesting on the surface but boring deep down."

Riki glared at Ann-Margarett, and looked down at Jouta. And then back at Ann-Margarett. "Listen, I'll give your wallet back. Just..."

Ann-Margarett looked at her with disdain. "You aren't part of this. This idiot attack me, and I already got my wallet back."

Jouta looked up a Riki, as the girl frantically patted her skirt down. "H-how..."

"I have a stand, too, you idiot."

Jouta lifted his body up, glaring at Ann-Margarett. He flipped the bill of his hat.

He pulled down his gloves that were hiked up.

He patted his blazer down.

"Yare yare dowa..." Jouta groaned, exasperated.

Ann-Margarett crossed his arms. "What? Are you going to hit me with another Emerald Wire - or whatever you call it?"

"Ann-Margarett..." He took a deep breathe, "I hope you're ready for divine punishment."

"What the hell are you-"

"Charmy Green, now!" Jouta yelled, his stand lunging forward.

The green ghost sent out a flurry of punches at Ann-Margarett.

"KAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKKAKAKAKAKA" Charmy Green yelled as he pummeled the enemy.

"KAKATTE KOI!" He finished, going to Jouta's side.

Ann-Margarett's nose was broken, probably had a few teeth knocked out. "Impossible..." He grumbled out before passing out.

Riki ran to him. "Thank you!" She squeaked to him. "He was a real pain in my ass... oh I said that already. How do you want me to repay you?"

"Help me get him to a hospital." Jouta responded, coming over to Ann-Margarett's passed out body.

Riki gave a confused look. "O-Okay..." She gave a smug smile. "But... you have to repay me too."

What the hell?

"Teach me how to visualize my stand, [Crime & Punishment]."
