" Hey, let go of her! "

You recognized the voice to be Joseph's, and you turned your head in his direction. Joseph saw the blindfold covering your eyes and felt a shiver go up his back.

" Didn't know you had a fetish, Kars. "

" I don't. "

" Then why blindfold her? Surely you have no reason to killer her. I mean I haven't seen you around or try to kill her. Why take her now? "

" I blindfold her because of her teleportation powers. Where she looks she can teleport. I also have a comrade who would like her dead, and I see this is as a sort of exchange. You killed Wamuu and Esidisi a few nights ago did you not? "

' Is that what he did that night!? '

" Alright, I'm heading out! Don't wait up for me! " Joseph screamed through the house.

You shrugged your shoulders and continued to read your book, hoping to get tired soon. The moon was in the sky, and you were having trouble sleeping with the gala approaching. Jonathan would lend you some of his books to read so you could fall asleep, and usually, they worked. Tonight was the same night. You fell asleep with the book in your lap. When you woke up the next morning, you got a shower and changed clothes. You left your room and walked downstairs, but the front door opened when you reached the last floor. When you looked at the figure in the doorway, you ran to him, seeing cuts and dry blood on his body.

" Joseph, what did you do!? "

" Something that will help us in the future. Trust me. "

" Who the hell did you get in a fight with? "

" Don't worry about it. I won the battle. You're starting to sound like a mother. "

' So, that's what he meant when he said it would help us. Yeah, it's really helping right now. '

" So, I'll take her life in exchange for Wamuu's. Then I'll take yours for Esidisi. "

" Great job, Joseph. Really great. " You said with sarcasm.

" Hey, don't talk to me like that! I'm here trying to save you! "

" And? Am I safe yet? I don't think so, plus I don't think I need your help. "

You summoned Starry Night, and he threw a punch at Kars. Kars stumbled back, and he let you go. You took the blindfold off and looked around. Joseph stood in front of Kars, while Kars was standing between Joseph and you sideways.

" How unfair, you use that spirit to defend yourself. "

" It's just called instinct. I want to live so why not use the resources I have? "

" You sound like the blonde fellow that resides in the same house as me. He talks about how his spirit is the best out of all. I believe him because it is called The World. "

' He's talking about Dio. '

" But no matter, I will get rid of you both, without the help of my own spirit. Because I am absolute. "

" Keep saying that. "

Starry Night sent another punch to Kars, but this time he ducked low to the ground. Instead of turning towards you and fighting, he turned towards Joseph and raised his arm towards him. A blade appeared out of Kars' arm and the metal shone brightly in the hall. He swung the blade towards Joseph, but Joseph jumped away. Kars continued to charge after Joseph, while Joseph dodged and looked for an opportunity to hit him. They both were getting out of your range, so you teleported closer to them, but every time you got closer Kars would move and go out of your stands' range again.

' How can I help him if I keep losing Kars in my range. '

Joseph finally stopped leaping backward, and he charged towards Kars with his Hamon instead of his stand. Joseph was under Kars as he tried to uppercut him, and Kars swung his blade down at Joseph's back. But Joseph's Hamon made the first connection, and it shocked Kars and burned away a piece of his body. You teleported to Joseph and put your hands on his shoulders, teleporting away from the blade. Kars swung down, but he missed Joseph because you successfully teleported him away from Kars. Now you stood beside him in front of Kars, and Joseph charged at Kars' back.

' He's not gonna be able to land the blow. Kars is to open, he wouldn't let himself be so open to get hit. '

" Joseph stop! "

But he didn't listen, and he jumped at Kars with his stand shooting from his hand towards Kars. Kars turned around, and he raised the blade at Joseph. Joseph wasn't far from him, and when Hermit Purple went around Kars, he cut through the vines and slashed Joseph across the chest.

" Joseph! "

Joseph stumbled back and looked down at his chest and stomach. There was a deep and long cut that went from his left shoulder to the right side of his waist. The bleeding was bad, and he kneeled to the ground in pain.

" As I said, I will kill you both without the help of my own spirit. Because I am absolute, while you will remain under my foot, where you belong. "

You teleported behind Kars and kicked his back. He stumbled a bit but turned around to slash you with the same blade in his arm. You ducked, and your stand started hitting him over and over again.

" Y/n! Get him outside! The sun is up! "

You looked out of the window for a moment and saw that the sun was coming up, and its rays were kissing the land.

" Got it! "

Your stand continued to fight Kars while Kars was left defenseless. There were a few times that Kars would swing his blade around, and it would randomly cut your stand, making you bleed as well. But you were stronger because he couldn't see your stand. Starry Night punched through the window and into the morning light, and he screamed as he started to crumble into dust. His body blew up in the sunlight, and his screams were gone with the night sky. When you made sure he was gone, you turned towards Joseph and helped him stand.

" Good job, doll! Now, could you please get me to an infirmary? "

" Is there a place like that in this mansion? "

" I think Giorno mentioned there was a small room here that had medical equipment. It should be in the hallway after this one. "

You nodded and started walking with Joseph to the room. You searched the rooms, and when you found it, you pulled Joseph inside. Joseph's shirt was cut through, and he would need to take it off so you could wrap his body in gauze and bandages.

" Joseph take of your ripped top. "

" Oh? Trying to get me naked are we? "

" No, I need to treat your wounds, now take of the top. "

Joseph smirked and took off his shirt, and revealed his slashed front to you. You grabbed some gauze pads and a towel. You got the towel wet and started to clean his wounds up before wrapping his torso in the gauze wrappings. He squirmed a lot, but he kept his arms up so you could wrap his torso and stomach. When you were done, you set everything you used to a cart that was in the room, and Joseph sat on the bed that was in the room.

" You've got some deep cuts on you too, let me patch them up. "

" I can do it. "

Joseph ignored your sentence and grabbed the cloth you used earlier and grabbed a clean side, and washed it in the water before cleaning the cut on your arms. When he cleaned and wrapped the cuts on your arms, he looked towards your face and started to clean the cut on your cheek. He was gentle with the wet cloth as he rubbed your cut cheek with it. He set the wet towel down and grabbed the gauze bandages and a dry towel. He patted the spot dry and put a small gauze patch on your cheek. But he ran his thumb over the patch to make sure it was on, and his hand never left the side of your cheek.

" There, now we're both patched up. "

" I could have done it myself. "

" And I could have wrapped myself, but did I? No, you did. "

You rolled your eyes at him and started putting everything you used in the trash and back where you found them. You placed the gauze bandages on the cart, and Joseph grabbed your hand, spinning you around to fall into his bare chest. He hugged you tightly, and you were blushing madly from being pressed against him. Your body was pulled sideways between his legs while he still sat on the bed.

" Thank you, Doll. You totally saved my ass back there. "

" Thanks for helping me too. I appreciate it. "

Joseph's hand went to your chin, and he lifted it upward. Your faces were extremely close, and he didn't wait another second before gently pulling your face closer to his and connecting your lips together. You were surprised, but you melted into the kiss and kissed him back. The kiss felt like firecrackers going off, and it was breathtaking. Your lips left us, and Joseph's forehead rested against yours. At that moment, there was no one else in the world. It was only you two.

" I knew you couldn't resist these good looks and sexy lips. "

" Don't ruin the moment, Joseph. " You said, slapping his arm.

Joseph chuckled and hugged you closer, with you hugging him back. You felt safe in his arms, and your face was still flustered from the kiss you shared. But you wouldn't have it any other way.

The End
