Chapter 29: Chase the Spirit

Tohka finished eating as she stabbed the stand arrow through a loaf of sweet bread as she exited the restaurant.

"Hey you." Jotaro said as he approaches the spirit.

Tohka cocks an eyebrow up as she held the arrow with the bread on it. "Uh....yes?"

Joseph noticed what Tohka had done with the stand arrow. "HOLY SHIT! She used the stand arrow as a skewer!" He was about to use Hermit Purple to tie Tohka up so he could get the stand arrow away from her.

"Huh? Stand arrow?" Tohka asked as she looks around and then at the sweet bread. "You mean this pretty arrow I found? I need to find the bow that goes to this, and return it to the owner." The spirit moved out of the way of Joseph as she backed up. "Who are you people?"

Jotaro put his arm out in front of his grandfather. "Good grief... Stay back old man, let me handle this." He looks at Tohka. "That arrow you have isn't no ordinary arrow, hand it over now. You don't know what you're doing." Star Platinum was behind Jotaro as he was going to give the signal for his stand to attack if Tohka didn't cooperate.

Tohka looks at him and then at Joestar and the others. "No, I won't hand it over!"

Jotaro sighed. "Fine then, you left me with no choice.. Star Platinum, attack."

Star Platinum threw punches at Tohka at a rapid speed. "Ora Ora Ora Ora!"

~~~

Tohka was sent flying back as she held the stand arrow, she spat up blood as she had no idea what hit her. She changed into her spirit form as the arrow stand disappeared. "Who did that?!"

Tohka glances around not seeing anyone around. "Show yourself!"

Scarlet had smelt the air from where she was at, she could smell Tohka's scent as she smelt six new smells, one however smelt of coffee. Assuming it was Coco of CFVY, but then smelt a foul stench from that coffee smell. "The hell?"

Iggy had smelled the blood on Scarlet as he growled but farted as the dog snickered. 'Who the hell is this? This smell of blood coming from them is horrifying...so horrifying it mad me fart.'

Tohka held her sword tightly as she noticed Jotaro walking towards her. "Stay back, I don't want to harm you...but if you try anything I will have no choice."

"Then hand over that arrow, it's not what you think it is. That arrow has powers, if it's used one a random person they end up getting a ability called a Stand." Jotaro said. "We need that arrow and not have it fall into Dio's hands."

Tohka glares at him as she wasn't buying what he was selling. "I don't believe you."

Scarlet was getting closer with each passing minute. While Iggy kept his nose twitching and smelling the air. He started to growl as he got on his guard, sensing the evil coming towards them. Avdol glanced at Iggy as he noticed he was on his guard, he turned to look at Joseph and the other two as he taps on Joseph's shoulder.

"Mr Joestar, Iggy seems to be preparing for something. He's on his guard and growling." Avdol said as he looked at Joseph. "We should call Jotaro back here. I dont think that girl we're chasing is our only problem."

Joseph cocks an eyebrow up. "What do you mean Avdol?"

Tohka was about to back and run off, but she felt the evil coming towards them. "I know that feeling..." She flew into the air as she scanned the horizon.

"What the hell?" Jotaro asked. "She took off in the air. "

Scarlet stops half way as she glanced up seeing Tohka. "Ara...if it isn't my old pal...Tohka." The Grimm girl flew into the air as she flew towards the spirit."

Tohka's eyes widen as she looked down at Jotaro. "Get out of here!"

"No hell in way am I going to let you pull that stunt, you're going to leave the moment we do." Jotaro said. "Hand over the stand arrow now."

~~~

Scarlet got closer as she stops behind Tohka. "Hello Tohka...long time no see, a little birdie told me that you have something of theirs. So why don't you be a good spirit and hand the arrow over."

Tohka turned around as she looks at Scarlet. "Over my dead body, why are you here?"

"Same reason why you are Tohka. Time rift, but let's not get buddy buddy...hand over that stand arrow now!" Scarlet growled as she glares at the spirit. "If you don't I'll have to kill you."

Tohka gulps as she knew what happened the last time she fought Scarlet. "I won't hand it over to the likes of you, just because you're married to Kurumi doesn't mean we're on even playing field. Kurumi is still a enemy spirit to us and the AST, and you're on that list as well Scarlet."

Scarlet scoffs as she crossed her arms. "And here I thought you'd want to face me in a eating contest again in Tengu city, what happened to that grudge you had? Are you really going to fight me Tohka?"

Tohka hesitated as she looks at Scarlet. "No I won't fight you...I want to only face you in a eating contest, I'm still jealous that you and Nightmare beat me."

Scarlet was about to say something, but blinks as she shakes her head. Her vision was blurry as her face seemed flushed and pale. Tohka took noticed as she thought she was putting up an act. She had also noticed sweat running down her face. Scarlet was panting, sweat dripped down her chin as the Grimm girl felt hot as she was burning up. Eventually she fell from the sky and crashed down below.

"Oh my god." Tohka said as she flew down, not noticing Jotaro and the others coming towards her. Once Tohka got to where Scarlet had crashed at, she looked at her as she noticed how much she was sweating and panting, her clothes seemed soaked as her face was flushed still and pale. "I've seen this..." She knelt down and out her forehead against Scarlet's. "You're burning up...Scarlet you have a fever."

Scarlet was out cold as she didn't respond to the Spirit. Tohka threw her onto her back as she flew away from the area. "Sorry guys! I have other stuff to do!" Tohka had a place to take Scarlet as she held onto her. "Hang in there...I'll doctor you up."
