JoJo's bizarre adventure: Scarlett legacy

"THIS IS BULLSHIT"

Ethan saw nothing but pictures... bizarre pictures.

There were pictures of him as an infant, his small hands curled near his face.

Pictures of him as a toddler, wobbling on unsteady legs.

Pictures of him as a child, wearing a Sailor's Captain outfit, standing with a hesitant but proud smile.

There were pictures of him with Alessia and Bianca, the three of them standing together, their expressions bright.

But as he continued shuffling through the photos, something felt off.

There were pictures of him alone not just alone, but in places where he was supposed to be isolated.

There were pictures from the night he slept with Alessia, Bianca, and their best friend, their faces satisfied in the dim light.

Pictures of him taking a shower in his own house.

Pictures of him driving to school.

Pictures of him at a sauna.

Pictures of him cleaning his house.

Moments that were supposed to be private.

And then, as he kept searching, he saw it. Written across every single one, in bold small red capital letters" MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE"

His breath became shallow as he turned one over.

On the back, in careful, deliberate smooth handwriting, it read:

"PROPERTY OF ALESSIA."

His hands began to shiver as he gazed at the photos with a glint of fear in his eyes, and an intense, layered, deep smell began to penetrate his nose.

A burst of rich cherry blossom and jasmine floral like scent with a hint of sandalwood snapped him out of a trance however the scent was so strong that it lingered on his mind.

Ethan thought for a while about what the scent represented and as he continued to analyse the pictures, he soon reached a conclusion as he spoke out four simple words:

"Toxic obsessive lustful Love"

The realisation made him shiver, he then tried to put back the pictures in the drawer but he noticed three old shriveled up folders and one of them had his father's name.

He took out the first two folders and opened the one with his father's name and it was written:

[Name:Joji Jomose Kurosawa

Biological age: 37

Chronological age: unknown

Hamon level of mastery: unknown

Stand name: WONDER OF U REQUIEM

Status: Deceased ]

"My... father was a stand user" Ethan mumbled as he read the folder, he then gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said:

"What more are they hiding from me, it's one betrayal after another...am I that insignificant"

He then picked up the second folder and began to read it and it was written as follows:

[ True Name: Unknown

Known Name: Krowe

Age: Unknown

Analysis: Suspected to be a perfect life form

Stand Name: D4C LOVE TRAIN REQUIEM

Status: Unknown

Goal: Devour the Ultimate vessel that holds the codex]

'Are these requiem stands common??? Requiem stands...I feel like I heard this word somewhere but there is a gap of memory in my mind'

Ethan sighed and picked up the third folder however he heard light footsteps, the footsteps echoed from far away so he understood immediately that his hearing was magnified.

He quickly packed up everything and put them back in the drawer, he then quickly went back to his seat and continued to eat his Gelato.

The footsteps continued to echo and soon someone entered the dining hall, Ethan lifted his head to see the unknown "guest".

His breath became heavy as he began to analyse the figure before him, the figure was none other than Alessia.

Her pupils burned a scarlet crimson, glowing glint full of malice.

Her long white blond hair, tied into a wavy ponytail, framed her smooth, fair skin, She wasn't just appealing... she was dangerously alluring.

Her curvy thighs pressed perfectly against her uniform, her generous bust strained against the fabric, and her full, beautiful lips seemed to hint at both cruelty and temptation.

Ethan felt his body betray him, his sword rising as his gaze lingered on her.

She wore a General's uniform, sharp and commanding.

The long sleeves bore buttons along the upper arms, a white collar wrapped neatly around her neck, and high-heeled boots clicked with authority.

A peaked hat, adorned with a black rose crest, sat atop her head, completing the image of a woman who was both captivating and untouchable.

Ethan quickly lowered his gaze and began to cough hiding his shame, he quickly cleared his throat and whispered:

"Hi! "

Alessia's eyes held no rage or fury. Instead, they were cold yet filled with emotion and tranquillity, a contradiction that somehow revealed her humanity more than anything else.

Unlike the scent from the pictures, Ethan was smelling a fiery furnace-like scorching smell.

Alessia slowly walked toward him while analysing the changes about him, she soon reached him, put her hand on his right shoulder and said:

"You disgust me"

The moment those words entered Ethan's ears, he began to shiver and sweat profusely...he was not scared rather Alessia's tone made him feel the boundless malice rooted in her heart.

He could sense that it was not hatred, he couldn't understand why she was so vague but it then clicked...she wasn't mad rather she was disappointed.

Alessia soon removed her hand from his shoulder and began to walk away leaving him alone.

Her scent lingered in the air making her presence more evident.

Ethan tilted his head and sighed as he observed her fading silhouette, he muttered as he said:

"Is she saying that I am a coward... what an odd thing to say"

He began to chuckle as memories of him and Alessia began to flood his mind, it wasn't a moment of nostalgia rather the realisation that they had drifted apart.

' For the sake of vengeance... sacrifices must be made, it is the smartest thing to do'

Even though Alessia was his first true love he understood that he had to bury that attachment.

' I have money and resources but I need... POWER ' he then paused for a brief moment and a conclusion came to his mind:

' Love is fleeting like a moment but hatred is immortal and everlasting like a memory,

Alessia needs to see me as an ally instead of her Fiance... that needs to change too, I need to change too '
