What happened previously:
"What the hell was that?" You muttered to yourself, having seen the two teenagers running after a thirteen year old boy. "What are Josuke and Okyuasu doing? Didn't Josuke go to the bank?" you thought out aloud, seeing them turn into an alleyway heading towards apartment houses. Should I go and follow them? You thought to yourself as you heard their enraged screams from the distance wincing.
"They are too loud. I keep on wondering how they do not get any complaints from the residents." You sighed. Looking left and right, you decided to cross the street quickly as in that moment your phone went off.
Groaning you picked up hearing Rohan's voice coming through.
"Good morning Y/N!" He greeted smugly as you rolled your eyes in annoyment. You had nothing against the particular manga artist but his timing was awful.
"What do you want?" You cut to the chase as you heard him chuckle.
"Why so cold?" He fired back sassily as you sighed.
"Look, if it is nothing important I will hang up now." You announced as he quickly began to stutter.
"No, look, I am sorry if you are busy and I just wanted to ask if you had time next week or something to help me out with my manga? I would like to read your memories again."
"Are you serious?" You asked sceptically. "You are not going to try anything?"
"There is no way I could; your Stand Heal would prevent me from doing it!" He reassured you as you groaned. "And I can treat you for a meal. How does that sound?" He offered sheepishly.
"You sound awfully nervous." You pointed out. "What are you hiding?" You mumbled as he only laughed awkwardly. "Where is your inflated ego?" You questioned, seeing Josuke and Okuyasu climbing up the different level of the apartment building with the help of their two Stands. "But can we perhaps talk another time, I am currently chasing down Josuke." You informed him.
"Oh that stupid brat-"
"Do not finish that sentence." You threatened evilly, dark aura surrounding you as you heard hi nervously chuckle on the other end of the line. "We can talk tomorrow. I call you instead." You quickly cut him off, ending the call before he could mutter another word.
Yukako Yamagishi Dreams of Cinderella, part 1
After a lot of reasoning and shouting Josuke somehow managed to calm you and Tomoko down explaining the entire stiuation to you two before he went to actually accept the money from the bank as Tomoko quickly put it out of his reach to put it down for his studies. Okuyasu and Shigechi each taking another third for their own with some short argueing and a bit of violence because of Shigechi's short return of greediness.
The train ran past her as the red light of the warning sign blinked rapidly as the strong breeze flew past her delicate features. Her blue sailor school uniform and dark wavy long hair moved as her sparkling amethyst eyes looked to the ground in sadness. The conversation a few days ago with Y/N did not seem to have helped much in terms of her lovesickness.
Yukako Yamagishi has been depressed lately.
The bar opened swiftly as soon as the train passed as two elementary school girls ran past the teenager excitedly.
"What? There s someone you like?" One asked her friend happily as they crossed over the tracks to get to the other side.
"Yeah! We both like each other!" the other replied beaming, her friend squealing at the news. However, that certainly did not help to lift the female's mood, staring at her feet as she crossed to at a much slower pace than the other two, stopping as she saw the café you and her had enjoyed the cakes and talked about her issues. Deep in thought, she wished she knew how to contact you. I miss her. Yukako thought sadly looking up as she heard a certain boy's voice...
"I went to the Angelo Stone the other day and there were a lot of tourists taking pictures." Koichi rambled, sipping from his cola as Josuke and Okuyasu listened to their friend attentively. All of them sitting at the round table in front of Café Rengatei as Yukako noticed an empty chair next to Josuke, wondering if you joined them too.
"Wow, it is that famous now, huh?" Josuke chuckled as Koichi noticed her standing on the other side of the street, turning around in surprise.
Blushing Yukako averted her eyes quickly too embarrassed to face her crush, missing you coming out of the café flirting with that cute waitress as you helped her balance some pastries chatting as you brought them to your table, earning a delightened screech from Okuyasu.
"Wasn't that Yukako?" You muttered in confusion wanting to quickly greet the girl but she already hurried away as Koichi and Josuke looked after her.
"Oh, isn't that the teenager you were with the other day?" The waitress hummed curiously as you flashed her a quick smirk.
"You are very observant, aren't you?" You complimented as she blushed furiously, outing the treat down, excusing herself, fanning herself a bit to cool down.
"What is wrong Koichi?" Josuke asked his friend in confusion who still seemed to look after Yukako shocked.
"She looked really sad, didn't she?" You spoke out aloud sighing as you stared at your pocket watch, golden eyes flashing. "It seems I have to get going." You announced, taking two pieces to take with you as Josuke raised once eyebrow in suspicion.
"Huh? Why? Are you not coming with me to visit the old man?" He stuttered, standing up.
"Oh no, please enjoy your time alone you two. I have a quick date with Rohan~" You waved him off as a shadow cast over his sky blue eyes. "Do not worry too much." You chuckled, "We want to test something out with his Heaven's Door."
-
If I can just keep Koichi in my heart, that is all I need to be happy. Yukako tried to convince herself, slowing down when she was already out of sight as she clutched the soft material of her uniform right above her heart. Begging to walk slower a white car passed her as she continued to stare at the ground. I thought that once, but it is really hard.... She admitted to herself. I wish he would look at me, even just a little. But I just do not know what I am supposed to do.... She sighed, closing her eyes.
In that moment as she walked down the street she came by an advertising shield framed in magenta colored wood:"My makeup will help you encounter love- Cinderella".
"Cinderella?" Yukako whispered to herself, looking up to see the shop's entry, squinting her eyes slightly in doubt a slight smile playing along her lips. Not believing a single word as then a wailing girl burst out the entry, catching her attention immediately.
"How lucky can I be?" She cried loudly, tears spilling from her eyes like fountains. "I cannot believe such a wonderful guy proposed to me!" She declared obviously still in disbelief clasping her hands in a quick prayer before swiftly turning around to the shop's entry, flashing a childish peace sign. "Thank you, Dr. Aya! Thank you so much!" The thanked profusely, running off, leaving a startled Yukako.
"Phew...." Said woman sighed, leaning onto the door's frame casually, radiating an air of elegance. "I guess a woman's youth is better spent happy and ugly than dark and beautiful...." She muttered, smiling proudly without showing much emotion in her beautiful face, plump lips perfectly glossed over with pink lipstick as her ocean blue eyes followed the girl. Dr. Aya's blonde hair was cut in bangs at the front parting in the middle like curtains while the rest were pulled in a low long ponytail, reaching past her hips. To further emphasize her slim figure she wore a loose pinkish dress with cleavage that had a dark corset around her delicate hips. "Come in." She offered gently, pushing open the front to her shop. "My makeup will help you encounter love." She recited her slogan as her facial expressions turned serious. "What is written on that sign is true. If you are interested..." She looked over to the teenager who seemed to be deep in thought her earlier words having affected her immensely. While your words were comforting and warm Yukako could not help herself as to feel that she was lacking in happiness. Making her decision she turned toward the mysterious woman in front of her, walking up the steps to enter Cinderella.
However, right when Yukako stood by the woman a businessman sporting a lavender suit stopped under the shade of a tree on the opposite side of the street. In his right hand a bag with his meal he bought earlier from the Saint Gentleman's bakery. Stopping in his tracks he turned to look at Yukako in recognition as she entered together with Dr. Aya before moving on.
So this is your little friend Y/N? He smirked calmly, recognizing Dr. Aya too. It seems you are quite popular, maybe they will come in handy later... He chuckled to himself, cold grey eyes looking forward as he pushed a strand of his blonde hair back with his free hand. You see, I am getting quite jealous my dear....
-
"Come in, come in!" Rohan opened the door generously a smug smirk on his face as you rolled your eyes entering the house as you put down your shoes as he gave you some slippers.
"I bought cake." You smiled "Hope you like chocolate and vanilla~" You said as he took the small box from your hand as both of you walked into his kitchen as he put it on one table wordlessly. "No thank you?" you asked tauntingly as he only shrugged his shoulders grinning to himself.
"Thank you." He replied mockingly. "You are too considerate Y/N." He trailed off as he guided you out of the kitchen to his studio on the upper floor.
"Please remind me as to why I am even here..." you pinched the bridge of your nose in annoyance. "It feels like I am wasting my time." You muttered as he flinched at your comment.
"I am the great, marvelous Rohan-"
"Come down from your high horse you prissy princess. I got it, I got it." You shrugged him off, sitting down on his desk. "So let's get this over with, or do you want to spend more time with me?" You flirted as he coughed in his fist, emerald eyes glistening with mischief.
"Well, someone seems very eager~" he returned, crossing his arms in front of his chest casually tilting his head to his left, his dangle earrings falling with the motion of his head.
"I certainly agree." You smiled, closing your eyes relaxed. "After all you were the one who could not keep his curiosity to himself and called me a few days ago~"
Hs face erupting in an adorable pink shade he quickly turned around, but to his embarrassment you had already long noticed and began laughing loudly. Your melodious voice filling the studio as he bit his lower lip to calm himself down.
"Now, let's just start. As I have already told you I have nothing much to hide... Shall we?" You clapped your hands together, making him whip his head around. "HEAL!"
"H-HEAVEN'S DOOR!"
And everything turned white.

"Welcome to Salon Cinderella, my dear. Please come in." Aya stated, linking her arms behind her back as they entered a spacious room with pink and lilac walls furniture with a transportable bed and cosmetic devices as Yukako looked around uninterestedly. "My name is Aya Tsuji." Dr. Aya introduced herself formally, putting her smooth hand on her chin carefully. "Phew.... I am the owner of this place and an aesthetician. I talk like I have low blood pressure, but do not let it bother you. Phew...." She sighed again. "But I am very motivated by my work. Phew..." she smirked walking over to Yukako invitingly, putting her hands on Yukako's face startling her. "You.... Are quite beautiful." She whispered moving extremely close. "Phew.... I had no idea there was someone so beautiful in Morioh." She sighed contently. "Well except a very good friend of mine~" She smiled dreamily. "But she would not want me to let me treat her. Such a shame~" Aya thought about the countless times you refused her.
"Do I know them?" Yukako asked as Aya looked at her keeping silent.
"Who knows?" She curtly replied guiding Yukako inside. "Now, please have a seat right over there."She instructed pointing to the chair right in front of a cosmetic table in front of an illuminated mirror. "Write your name and address on that form." She mumbled, the form already presented in front of the girl.
"I have not decided that I will do this yet." Yukako quickly intervened.
"Here is the price listing." Aya returned, handing it to her.
Makeup Menu:
Makeup to Encounter Love-1000 yen
Makeup to Capture Love- 1200 yen
Makeup to get proposed to- 2000 yen
Makeup to make men submit- 3000 yen

Facial Menu:
...
"Makeup to marry a celebrity?" Yukako read out aloud, turning towards the woman next to her for answers.
"This salon is a bit different from ordinary salons." Aya mumbled, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "I am an aesthetician who creates faces of happiness.
Frowning, Yukako glared at her in distrust. Typing into her machine the facial structure of a model appeared on screen as Aya moved to explain what she was about to do. "Physiognomy- that is, the shape of one's face- can change someone's fortune." Aya smiled, setting up a camera as she pointed at different areas like High Brows, Double Eyelid, big, wide, eyes and more. "If you have a face that will be loved, it will heighten your luck with encountering love." She trailed off, moving to analyze Yukako's features. "Mmh.... Too bad.... The shapes of your eyes and eyebrows are not good. Phew..."
"I am going to be blunt." Yukako cut her off annoyed and defensive. "This is so stupid that I am beyond disappointed. You are trying to charge money for that, right?"
"With that face, the more you love a boy, the more he is going to run away." Aya pointed out at the picture she has taken not even looking as the teenager flinched at her words. "Am I wrong?" Aya turned around smiling knowingly. "Have you not experienced that?" she sung.
"You are wrong." Yukako denied hesitantly, shoulders tense as she glanced at the salon owner with insecurities. "I have never had that happen in my life." She mumbled trying to suppress the events that went down with Koichi as best as she could.
"Oh no?... Well then, very well..." Aya turned back to her special device to start to type again. "In your case...." She trailed off working on the photo she took changing Yukako's facial features, getting her extreme eyebrows and deformed eyes. "Oh, I am sorry." She apologized immersed in her work as it only got worse and worse. "I am not very accustomed to working with CG... this is the face that will encounter love!" she finally got it right, presenting the final version, showing Yukako with less prominently arched eyebrows and a bit rounder eye shape.
"Wait..... This is cosmetic surgery." Yukako pointed out. "You do surgeries?"
"This is a face we will create using only makeup and beauty massage." Dr. Aya quickly reassured her. "But it only lasts thirty minutes. If you do not encounter love, I will return the thousand-yen fee to you. Would you like to try it?" She offered.
Staring at her lap intently Yukako kept silent as then....
"All right. If it is just makeup...." Yukako agreed. "I have nothing to lose, so I guess I can give it a try." She declared confidently.
"Thank you. Let's get started, then." Aya grabbed a beige colored blanket., putting it over Yukako's shoulder and chest area. "Close your eyes. Make sure you do not open your eyes." Aya instructed her as Yukako did as she told not seeing the woman behind her manifesting her metallic pink Stand consisting of various cosmetic and beautician machinery. "Do not move." Aya smiled "My hands may slip if you do~"
-
Shielding his eyes from the brightness of the sun, Rohan's emerald eyes tried to accommodate, looking to his right seeing you lying on the shabby bed of an inn, the glass shards still on the ground, however it seemed as if you and your Stand were aware of each other's presence as you were taking deep breaths as your Stand materialized behind you, touching your shoulders.
It seemed as if you had barely gotten any sleep as you were rubbing your eyes tiredly before walking over to you washing sink, splashing ice cold water in your face before your golden Stand disappeared into thin air. Rohan however sat down on your bed unnoticed by yourself as he continued to observe you carefully.
However in that moment a soft knock was heard from the other side of the door as you quickly grabbed the white washcloth from the side of the poorly made sink tapping your rubbing your face in a hurry as you grabbed your coat from the small wobbly chair next to Rohan throwing it over before opening a smile put on your strained face as your golden eyes lit up happily.
"You make me come to the most despicable places I have ever been to, Y/N. Hiding out at the edges of the London slums near Orgre Street? You are certainly not wanting to return to the Joestar mansion?" the young Lord asked you, walking inside your room, frowning at the shattered mirror on the ground. "This.... brings bad luck." He muttered, pushing the glass around with his expertly crafted walking cane.
"How is life treating you?" You asked him calmly, closing the door behind you.
"Johnny~ Come do not be too hard on me, my dear Jojo~" You whined playfully as he only rolled his eyes in annoyment, coughing as he accidentally inhaled some of the dust the raised from the ground the moment you shut the door.
"Goodness Y/N! Did you even clean this place during your stay?" He coughed violently trying to stupor his weight at the cupboard only to rip it out of his hinges. "For god's sake!"
"Want a sip?" You offered holding out an already half empty wine bottle invitingly.
"Show some class." He spat, taking out his hankerchief. "What happened to you, last time I remembered it was my father dying?" He replied dryly, taking the bottle, taking a sip making you hide a triumphant smirk behind your hand.
"Well, sometimes one calls for manner, another time for raw human nature, what do you think?" You laughed. As he only shook his head in disbelief.
"Are you coming back? I will need some help organizing everything my father left behind." He muttered quietly. "The mansion is too quiet without you around." You looked over to him as he pushed his hair back, not facing you.
"I apologize but I have to decline." You answered after a pause as he raised an eyebrow at you in question.
"Then what do you plan to do?" he asked straightforward. "Are you going to stay here? You cannot be serious."
"No, actually I plan to travel to extend my studies internationally." You replied as he pinched the bridge of his nose, shaking his head. "I think I will travel through Europe to East Asia. My father once promised we would travel the world together and he was going to introduce me to his friends he made along the way. And to say the least English medicine might be advanced but still, I look for more traditional means to treat infections, injuries and diseases without amputating the entire limb." You laughed as he stared at you doubtfully.
"Why do I get the feeling you are telling me only half the truth." He muttered.
"You know me too well." You replied vaguely as Rohan only raised his eyebrow in suspicion however you kept silent only a mysterious silence surrounding you s Johnny sighed again.
"How long will you be gone?" he opted to ask instead, glancing out of the window down the street to see starving children at the bottom next to a streetlight to support their weight.
"Two years, probably for now." You muttered. "Because I want to actually stay and study their culture and medicine, make some companions along the way." You chuckled to yourself, walking over to the now unhinged cupboard, taking out a small notebook out of a simple bag, throwing it at the Joestar who caught it with practiced ease, studying its content.
" You are planning to go to France first to Italy and are planning to travel by sea to visit other seaside towns and villages until you reach the near East before you continue your travels by land, even over the mountains all the way to Japan before returning by going the northern route?" He followed the red trail you left across the detailed map deep in thought."What about your position in high society. Others might take your absence as weakness."
"My father traveled to I am honoring his memory by doing so, and I firmly believe that you will not let it happen." You smiled fondly as he sighed.
"What will happen to London's slums without you around?" he questioned as you tried to defend yourself. "Do not event try to deny it. Even while you were studying you always made frequent trips to London, I can only assume but I firmly believe that you are taking care of victims of crime and violence around here. Why else would you search refuge in this shabby location with your money and influence?"
"I cannot help it." You muttered, thinking about your next words. "They need someone urgently. By not receiving proper education if any and financial means you are doomed if you grow up in these horrible circumstances. Starvation and crime are only going to increase if nobody takes care of this issue." You explained as he only shut you up.
"You do not have to explain, you stupid-"
"Watch it."
"... Before you rudely interrupted me, I was going to praise you for your sense of awareness and empathy for those in need." Johnny hisses annoyed. "But now I see you are still that brat I knew from a few years ago."
"And you are still a stuck up princess." You rolled your eyes jokingly, both of you enjoying the peaceful silence that settled between you two, Rohan looking for the other to make the next move.
"I am going to miss this." Johnny stated seriously as you walked over to him taking the map back. "Be careful. I am going to watch the situation for you. Write me letters, promise me." He asked of you, putting a firm hand on your arm as you nodded.
"Of course I will, just look you maintain the good relationship of the noble houses for the next time and everything should work out perfectly. Perhaps you even find a virtuous lady to court." You winked as he flushed bright red at the thought of it.
"Y/N-"
"Yeah, yeah. I get it." You waved him off playing down a knowing smirk. "Just do not get married before I return after all, you would need me as your first man~"
Meanwhile Rohan got up from your bed, hearing a bit of a commotion going on outside on the streets. Trying to peek behind the thin curtains he looked out of the dusty window as suddenly he fell right through the glass, falling harshly on the ground with a loud thud.
"Curse this..." Rohan groaned in pain with a sore back "I forgot that her memories always have traps!"
-
"Koichi...." Yukako mumbled staring at a shop's window at her own reflection a bit unsurely. "This is the makeup that will help me encounter love?" She trailed off, touching her face gently. Will my luck really change just by altering the lines of my eyes and eyebrows? She pondered, crossing the busy afternoon crossroad. As suddenly in that moment someone stumbled into her.
Koichi who quickly took the corner to the crossroad to cross over quickly shut his eyes close as he bumped into somebody, falling back in surprise as both he and Yukako gasped as their eyes met.
Blushing lightly Yukako's eyes widened as she clenched her jaw as she stuttered out the boys name in disbelief: "K-Koichi?"
Cheeks dusted red, the gray-haired teenager stood up, rubbing the back of his head nervously, eyes completely focused on the embarrassed girl in front of him, smiling. "I-I have been looking for you, Yukako." He revealed.
"Huh? Me?" Yukako pointed at her confused.
"Yeah...." Koichi nodded firmly. "You passed by Rengatei earlier, didn't you? Y/N noticed you and it seemed that you looked really sad back there, a-and I sort of got worried...." He admitted looking to the ground shyly.
"Worried?" Yukako repeated blinking, her voice coming out softly. "You were worried about me, Koichi?"
"Y-Yeah.... A lot happened between us, but it doesn't bug me anymore and Y/N mentioned once that you genuinely tried to put effort into it, so I do not want you to feel down about it." Koichi answered.
"R-Really?"
"Yeah." Koichi confirmed.
I cannot believe it.... Yukako thought, her chest filling with warmth as golden butterflies fluttered in her heart. Is this really because of the makeup?
"K-Koichi..." Yukako whispered smiling as she gathered all her courage. "Rather than standing around, why don't we find a place to sit and chat?" She invited him.
"Huh?"
"Only if you want to..." She quickly trailed back, turning her back to him to not let him see her sad frown.
"W-Well-" Koichi quickly replied stuttering, blushing mess. "I guess I am a little thirsty..."
"Huh? Huh?!" Yukako whipped her head around, cheeks reddened, amethyst eyes sparkling.
I really am lucky. Yukako cheered happily as she and Koichi took an outside table at café de maigot. Things are really changing! She realized not even paying attention to the couple eating ice cream right next to them as she listened intently to Koichi excitedly going through the desert section of the menu.
"I suddenly want to eat a chocolate parfait." He beamed. "Is it weird? I mean Okuyasu stole the one Y/N got me earlier..." He snickered. "But...."
I get to be near the cute, yet strong Koichi...
"Does that make me seem girly?" Koichi looked at Yukako expectantly as she snapped out of her day dreaming.
"Huh?" She flinched, leaning forward. "No! Not at all!" She denied. "That is what I wanted too!" She shouted enthusiastically. This is like a dream.... Physiognomy rally does exist! I am really on a roll right now. My luck is really on a roll right now! She thought as both enjoyed their delicious parfait decorated by strawberries, banana and whipped cream with poured over chocolate.
However, suddenly Koichi began fumbling around nervously causing his glass to nearly fall over. Thankfully to Yukako's reflexes she was able to catch it in time as then both their hands touched both staring each other deep in the eye like in one of those cheesy romance movies Y/N and Tomoko liked to make fun of.
I... I cannot believe it... I can feel Koichi-kun's warmth and beating heart. I am so happy! This is the happiest I have ever been-
"Oh, it is four pm. I cannot believe it is this late!" The couple behind them exclaimed, looking at their wrist watches as suddenly Koichi clutched his stomach, face contorting into one of pain.
"H-Huh?" Koichi groaned loudly, screaming as bullets of sweat formed on his forehead. "M-My stomach hurts!" He gritted out, standing up abruptly, grabbing the next bag to his side as he began to sprint of. "I am super sorry Yukako, but I have to go!" He shouted, running down the street not waiting for her response as Yukako failed to call out to him. As if on cue, her face transformed back to normal as she stare at the clock right underneath the street lamp next to her.
"Why...." He whispered, clutching her upper body, shouting. "Why is it only thirty minutes?!"
-
Rohan muttered curses under his breath some were harmless others would have needed severe censoring. Despite being not affected by the happenings during Y/N's memories he could not help but feel painfully suffocated as he tried to wiggle himself through the sheer masses of people trying to cross the market place to follow after you, fearing to lose sight of you, not knowing what would happen to him if that should be the case. You however seemed to practically float in the masses, your long strides and tall figure making it easy for you to maneuver in the crowd of yelling citizens that tried to either sell or buy the goods presented to them. Rohan had been observing everyone of your steps carefully like when you first boarded the ship to get to France, and the commotion you caused with some rude passenger that had the audacity to insult your clothing or the time you helped a child that has lost its mother in a large capital, spending the entire hour to find her by asking around the streets in French.
Another moment he was left deeply impressed by was when you were sitting in another inn with your golden shimmering Stand Heal, writing down everything you could possibly learn from it by testing your limits only to fall asleep in exhaustion. However after only a few nights you seemed to grasp the potential your Stand held and got even bolder, not only inflicting more severe injuries upon yourself but testing if your Stand was visible to others as well as you slowly began to question your sanity at one point when you stayed at Verona in Italy.
"I think I am getting mad, I need to establish an asylum... "You spoke with your Stand calmly as it only tilted its head to the side. "Nobody seems to see you, you are able to move stuff in the real world and you have a direct impact on me. What the devil are you?" You continued feeling as if you were in a serious investigation with an incredibly stubborn client. "I am hurting, you fix it. I want to help others, you do it are you an angel, a mystical being, a guardian spirit?" you began rambling as it only shrugged its shoulders silently not a single sound despite its golden chains rattling around its neck. "Quite stubborn aren't you?" You slowly grew frustrated hitting the wall as you suddenly heard something breaking down in the street followed by loud angry screams about an assassination attempt. Rohan however took it upon himself to look outside, however as soon as you moved to open your window loud exclaims were made and the door crashed open with men all wearing dark suits pointing a gun at you.
"Hands out!" They screamed in Italian as you peaked over your shoulder, raising your arms.
"It seems there is a bit of a misunderstanding..." You chuckled nervously as you looked around for your own weapons only for them to waste no time as they shot you straight through your head as you fell to the ground motionlessly as the men stomped over to your body, going through your luggage as Rohan only stared at the scene in disbelief as then your Stand manifested itself, the wound on your head slowly started healing as the light returned in your eyes, golden eyes flashing dangerously as you stood up swiftly, swiping their legs as they crashed down harshly.
In one swift motion you grabbed the cold metal of the small gun on your nightstand as you held on of the in a chokehold the gun pressed at their temples.
"Wh- who- Who Are You?!" the men screamed in horror absolutely terrified eyes nearly buldging out in terror their bodies trembling.
"Lady Y/N L/N and English noblewoman, certified gentleman and Head of the L/N family and you are?" You replied calmly, not letting any sign of weakness show on your cold face remembering your mother's words despite not actually being able to comprehend your current situation. I was shot, I was shot, I was shot! Your mind was racing a hundred miles perhour. I am supposed to be dead. Dead! You realized.
"So you are from England." They looked you up and down warily seeing your wound already healed.
"That I just said." You smirked as the man in your hands was silently whimpering as you applied more pressure on his temples green eyes darting arount frantically. "And you are?" Despite your position your voice came out completely emotionless as suddenly the door behind you opened a young man wearing a cylinder and expensive silk coat entered your room.
"What a shabby place to be in~" He sighed. "So where is the assassin?" He demanded opening his arms as you backed away to the wall, dragging the man with you mercilessly. "And it seems we found him~ A pretty boy?" He asked his men glancing at you as he then stared at his golden wristwatch.
Keeping silent you just looked him dead in the eye.
"Boss!" The man shouted alarmed. "Get out of here. He is a monster!"
"I think I already told you that I am a noblewoman." You emphasized the last word as your Stand manifested. "Who is unreasonable now?"
"And you tried to kill me?" the young boss asked boredly. "IT seems your attempt failed miserably as we have you corner by now." He pointed out.
"Then you did not see me coming back from the dead." You fired back.
"Let's settle it with my new part time... hobby... ever heard of Russian roulette?" He asked you flashing a toothy grin. You can take the man that is already in your arms. IF you really are undead it should not worry you."
"however your subordinate may lose his life."
"Then it cannot be helped. If you win we let you go with an apology on the top and the favor of the Italian mafia Passione, otherwise you will pay dearly." He offered. "For my entertainment of the night which you rudely interrupted previously. Make it count." He chuckled sitting down on your bed as he placed one bulled in the chamber of his revolver lying it on the ground.
"But boss-"
"Silence! Let's continue our game~" he winked at you as the rest of his men blocked your escape routes as you pushed the man to the ground.
"I have nothing to lose." You said, taking the revolver putting it at your head pulling the trigger.
-
Crossing the street without looking, Yukako stomped each feet, black hair flying behind her as cars came to a screeching stop.
"Hey, lady! Can't you see the light is red?!" A furious car driver screamed furiously.
"SHUT UP! IT IS THE LIGHT'S FAULT FOR TURNING RED!" Yukako spat, not even bothering to even look at him, her stoic face faced forward. Storming into Cinderella, she pushed open the door to the salon. "Why is it only for thirty minutes?!" she yelled clenching her fists. "Make it longer!"
"You encountered love, didn't you?" Dr. Aya stated calmly shutting her fairy tale book with great care. "You should be satisfied with that, and come back tomorrow. All of my other customers have done that." She reasoned.
"No! I cannot stand luck that only allows me to be with Koichi for thirty minutes and then rip us apart!"
"Phew..." Aya sighed, glancing at the teenager boredly.
"Next, do the one that captures love! You can do that, right?"
"You really do not listen to others, do you?" The beautician questioned uninterested.
"I said, "Do it"!" Yukako demanded desperately.
"Phew... Yukako." She sighed again presenting her fairy tale book Cinderella to her. "Cinderella was able to encounter a wonderful love, even though she was bullied, because she had a pure heart. Which means you need to have the willingness for such a wonderful encounter to occur." She elaborated. "Are you able to do that?"
"Willingness? What are you talking about?"
"Just changing your physiognomy is not enough to change your luck. Phew..." She took Yukako's hands into her own. "I became an aesthetician because I admired the fairy godmother in Cinderella." She stated seriously. "I want to live giving happiness to others, just like her. You are very beautiful and I like you." She smiled happily "So I will do this specifically for you... however...." She mumbled her index finger trailing down from Yukako's face to her cleavage revealing her mole, sighing. "We are going to have to work on various parts." Then she continued by grabbing her breast, feeling them up as Yukako just moved her arm in front of her protectively with a straight face as Aya let go smiling as if nothing had happened.
"It is your whole body.... The whole body must be transformed into a body to capture love. And the willingness you need to do that is this." She trailed off, taking a light pink shaded lipstick out of a small pyramid-like construction showing it to her. "You need to apply this lipstick every thirty minutes, except when you are asleep. It is to maintain your body after I have worked on it. If you can do this, you will have the luck to capture love for eternity. The price is seventy two thousand yen for twenty four hours."
"Fine. Do it." Yukako agreed without hesitation as Dr. Aya smirked mischievously.

Currently you were navigating yourself through a large plaza only to enter a small unconventional store in the next alleyway. Rohan himself was not entirely sure as to why you would choose to visit such an ominous shop in the first place but by now he tried to understand that he might never be able to have a full understanding of the person called Y/N L/N despite having been with her since the moment she opened her eyes it seemed as if he was not one step closer to truly grasp her and who she is. Seeing her in unfamiliar places, her smiles and curiosity are intoxicating and thrilling. They way she exchanged knowledge with others regarding most every aspect in life, mostly surrounding tradition and medicine seemed to come with ease. Visiting new countries and cultures exhilarating as the manga artist found himself enjoying her memories very much. However deep inside him he knew that even so he sometimes got careless and started to lose focus when it came to actually taking in the wonders of the world she had to offer. His mind was always wandering back to her and what she might be possibly thinking about, including her planning ahead for the rest of her journey.
Shaking his head he failed another attempt to clear his mind as he quickly got inside before the door could close before his nose.
"Good morning Mister Tonpetty." You greeted an elderly man. "Someone told me you might have the answers for my questions and my powers."

Turning on the lights Yukako laid down on the transportable bed, body barely covered with white cloth, eyes closed as her gorgeous black hair formed a black pool under her.
"Good... Now, do not move." Aya instructed. "Make sure you do not open your eyes." She said manifesting her stand, ready to use it on the girl as Yukako's eyes shot open flashing dangerously.
"I knew you were not a normal aesthetician." She simply stated her hair wrapping around Dr. Aya's Stand as well as herself restricting them from any movements.
"Th-This power.... You too can see my Cinderella? Y/N already told me that there may be a few others but-"
"I see, you know Y/N so you were actually using Stand powers." Yukako stated a bit surprised by hearing your name. "But the more I think about it, I do not care. So you and Y/N are acquaintances? Seeing you still alive you cannot be that bad a person. After all if you wanted to harm me, you would have already tried. I trust you. You are my fairy godmother."
Shaking Aya took a few steps back, trying to recompose herself. "You startled me...."
"Just start already." Yukako muttered, lying down calmly as Aya smiled pleased. "You know Y/N too?" She questioned. "What do you think of her?"
"None of your business." Yukako replied curtly.
"I quite like her myself; she is very good in bed." Aya smiled as Yukako flinched. "But as I see you do not want to hold conversation I will just work my magic." She said manifesting her Stand Cinderella as she began extracting pieces of Yukako's body, from her entire face, parts of her breast, hands, hips and legs before scanning them into the Hand of Cinderella's hand as new body parts materialized out of thin air, forming shimmering blue contours first as then single functioning body parte went out of it, replacing the old ones swiftly. Bright pink Stand aura began to form around the female teenager's body as he black hair flung around.
Cinderella is a Stand that transforms the body's image. This perfectly completes the work on your body to capture love. "Yukako your body has become invincible when it comes to love." Aya mumbled.

Walking down the streets Koichi was still holding his stomach, wondering: "The pain in my stomach suddenly went away..." he sighed slowly, staring at his left hand in confusion at the bag he was holding ashe flinched examining it close. "Oh, this is Yukako's bag! Whoops!" He panicked, turning back. "I have to go back and return it to her!" He yelled running down the street as then he stopped dead in his tracks, his blue eyes widening.
Sparkles surrounded Yukako as she walked down the road to meet her crush, as the air around her seemed to shine, as if a soft, gentle light radiated from her entire being. Her hair lightly flying to her left as she took graceful strides, a subtle smile paying along her lips.
"Y-Yukako..." Koichi gulped staring at her a bit dumbfounded as she reached out her right hand for him to take. Bushing lightly he stared at her sender fingers, catching himself. "o-O, yeah. Here! This is your bag." He smiled giving him her bag back as Yukako took it blinking.
"Huh?"
"And this is mine...." He trailed off, taking his back from her left hand carefully. "I accidentally took it. Sorry about that!" He quickly apologized. "W-Well, I see you later." He quickly darted off completely overwhelmed.
"W-Wait, Koichi!" She called after him, desperately as said boy looked back over his shoulder. "Look at me! Do you not feel something when you look at me?"
"w-Well... Well...Well-" Koichi stuttered at a compete loss of words.
"Hey! If it is not Koichi!" Rohan suddenly shouted, interrupted.
- A few moments prior:
"You cannot be serious Rohan, what do you need me for now?" You groaned as you cursed the stuck up manga artist in your mind, wondering as to why you would even put up with him the moment you regained consciousness. You guessed you might have a little soft spot for him after all. Or at least an appreciation for his dedication to his work since he wanted to drag you all to way to Kame Yu for even more research after a brief look into your memories having arranged the next date for next week at the same time. But if you looked a bit further you always came to the same conclusion. He was a pain to deal with. Especially right now!
Turning around the corner you heard Yukako's voice as you heard Koichi stuttering nervously. Hiding behind a building you decided to listen to their conversation ,ready for some gossip, however someone and by someone meaning none other than the greenette next to you decided to ruin that moment.
"Hey! If it is not Koichi!"
"Rohan, you idiot!" You groaned under your breath, slapping your face.
"I am heading to Kame Yu department store for research." He said loudly not realizing he was interfering something really important right now. In this moment as the next words left his mouth you wanted to strangle him. "Come with me. Y/N is here too, but she has been ignoring me for the last minute~"
"Oh, Y/N is here too? But... I was planning on heading home..." Kochi tried to deny him as Rohan looked him in the eye squatting down in front of him , both men completely ignoring the girl as you took a deep breath revealing yourself too, noticing the prominent frown on the girl's face, waving he smiling apologetically.
"It is embarrassing taking pictures in a department store by myself, you know." Rohan tried to convince the boy as you only glared at the twenty- year old playfully who was already guiding Koichi to walk with him. "You are so needy... Jeez." Koichi sighed looking for you for help.
"Yeah? That is embarrassing to you?" You asked in disbelief completely unaware of Koichi's silent pleas for help. "After witnessing all of my quote- on- quote passionate nights?!"
What is this? Yukako thought irritated. "Was I not supposed t become the invincible heroine? What happened to the effectiveness of your Cinderella's powers?!" Yukako shouted in the phone of the nearby green telephone booth as you started at her worriedly not understanding what she was talking about as you followed behind Rohan and Koichi to make sure they were not up to anything stupid.
"No, Koichi's heart definitely belongs to you now." Dr. Aya reassured her as in that moment a surprised squeal was heard from Ayana who his behind her slightly smaller mother at the sight of you.
"Oh, Ko." Koichi's mother noticed her son. "And Y/N! How are you doing? You have been so busy lately, you rarely come over for dinner anymore." He sighed sadly.
"Good afternoon Mrs. Hirose, Ayana." You politely greeted them, waving as Ayana shyly waved back, playing with a strand of her dark brown hair.
"Hi mom, sis!" Koichi waved back as Rohan stared between you and the girl with a suspicious glare.
"But his reasoning is denying you. Did something happen between you and Koichi in the past?" She asked the teenager whose eyes were darting around guiltily, sweating slightly. Taking her pause as a confirmation Aya Tsuji sighed. "That must be it."
"Oh, this gentleman is a manga artist?" Mrs Hirose asked in surprise after you introduced them to Rohan Kishibe. "He is lovely. May we join you?"
"But do not worry. Luck will eventually take your side. Cinderella is absolute." Dr. Aya stated full of confidence her long legs exposed as she sat on her stool in her salon, talking to the cable less phone. "By the way, it is 4:45. It has almost been thirty minutes. Make sure you do not forget to apply the lipstick." She reminded Yukako, who stared at her black wristwatch doing as she was told.
"Yes, I am doing it now." She informed her staring at the lipstick. "Luck will take my side, huh?"
-
"What? You are going to Kame Yu, Y/N, Koichi? So are we!" Josuke yelled excitedly as he saw you, grinning widely showing an enthusiastic thumps up His father, Joseph Joestar together with the invisible baby in his arms joining the group as you began chatting with the two newcomers as Yukako exited the phone booth.
What is with these people?! There are even more of them! And now the person I want here the least, his mother, is here! Luck is on my side, my ass!" he fumed, as she glared at the situation playing out in front of her, black hair beginning to move dangerously as her left eye began to twitch. I will kill that salon bitch!
