"So, am I going to sit out here forever or are you going to let me in?" Isabella said after Jun hadn't made a move.
"Huh? Huh, oh right...I guess you can come in" Jun watched as each doll went in and he noticed something he hadn't before. The last doll was an authentic Rozen Maiden doll, simply, it was a girl doll.
Isabella strolled into the house and looked around. "Are you here by yourself?"
"No, everyone's in the living room" He pointed over to the room.
"Oh" She said. "So what's your name again?"
Jun took a closer look at the dolls again before responding, "Jun. Jun Sakura"
"Uh-huh, so Jun" She began. "Who all is here exactly?"
"Jun, who is at the door?" Came Shinku's voice from the other room. Isabella instantly perked on hearing her and looked to Jun for details.
The dolls did the same.
"Eto.." As he began, Shinku walked into the room and Jun could see her eyes widen some.
Nobody spoke for the longest time as silence dominated the air.
"Would you care to explain what's going on?" Shinku's voice sliced through the silence and Jun. She looked over at him.
"I would tell you but I, myself, haven't heard the answer to that question yet" He directed it straight to Isabella. She merely sighed.
"Look, I'll tell you anything you want to know as long as it's not right here" She said, a look in her eye close to fear. Shinku seemed to understand and nodded.
"We can go to Jun's bedroom" She lead everyone up there.
Isabella jumped onto the bed, bouncing a little more, before making herself comfortable on it. Jun sat on his desk chair while Shinku preferred to stand.
"First, who are you" Shinku was the one to speak.
"My name is Isabella"
"And?"
Isabella had all six dolls in front of her and she listed off the names whilst pointing to them as their name was said. "Left to right. Liro, Shirok, Yario, Oze, Ize, and Pandora"
They nodded.
Liro was a shorter doll and had short flaming red hair with light green eyes. He a long shirt with shorts underneath and he appeared to be a sleeper since he was carried up the stairs.
Shirok had long chestnut hair, pulled back in a low ponytail, with liquid gold eyes and he was wearing black shorts with a blue button up shirt and a suit coat to go over it(black), to top it off, he wore glasses. Jun could easily see he was the smart one.
Yario had messy brown(w/ a tinge of red) hair and ruby red eyes. He wore a graphed shirt with the picture of a halo being held up by horns. Slightly saggy jeans were worn along with black and white converses. His hands were held behind his head, giving him a laid-back impression. Jun's eye twitched.
Anyone could see Ize and Oze were intended as twin dolls. They both had neat blonde hair and had matching outfits except for color combinations. The outfits were very similar to Souseiseki's, but Oze had the colors black and green while Ize had blue and black. 'Ironic' Jun thought, since Ize had blue eyes and Oze had green eyes. Essentially matching their clothes.
The last doll, Pandora, was the shortest of them all. She had long blonde hair, about the same length as Shinku's, with Amethyst eyes. She had on a knee-length dress which was dark green and had a split down the middle of the skirt to reveal white, satin ruffles. It was strapless with a sweetheart neck line. Down the middle of the top were diamond stones, with the middle of the sweetheart there was a black stone. 'That's strange' Jun and Shinku thought as the same time.
She had on white shoes with a heel and on the top were green carnations, on her hands were silk white gloves, and to top it off she had a pure white mini hat tilted at an angle on her head. It had a little white fish net around the rim.
With much closer inspection, Shinku saw that none of them were Rozen Maiden dolls nor Enju dolls, not even Pandora, although she was a she.
"None of them were made by Rozen. Who made these dolls?" Shinku asked.
"As you may have not known, Rozen was married at one point" Isabella began. "His wife shared his rare and unique power to make living dolls, which was one of the reasons why he married her. They were so in love and content in each other that it seemed their lives were going to be perfect. But happy endings just don't exist"
"Once Rozen had become inspired to create living dolls, he spent most of his time working on them and loving on them, and less time with his wife. She started to feel abandoned and lonely. At one point she couldn't take it anymore and decided to go to a bar and try to drink herself to oblivion. Well those were her intentions anyway. Once she had downed 3 vodka shots, she had become unaware of everything that she was doing and saying. The next morning she awoke in a strangers bed and was naked. She grabbed her things and left as quickly as she could, and when she got back to her own home...Rozen was waiting for her"
"He asked her where she had been, and she wouldn't answer him. Eventually the silence led to there being heavy tension between the two and before long they had a nasty fight. They got through it, but over time, it just led to more and more fights until they thought it best to split up. Rozen, afterwards, moved to Germany, along with the dolls he had created. The woman cried after he left and decided she was no longer going to be sad and went through the remainder of his stuff to throw it out. Until she came upon something that made her blood boil"
"In a beat-up old box in the very back of the closet, she found love letters, pictures, and gifts from a woman in Italy. The love letters were sent during their marriage, the pictures were of her husband and this lady in bed together and different kisses that were still recent, and the gifts were of inappropriate nature. She didn't even want to think about what he sent her. She got so enraged that she vowed to get her revenge. From that day on, she worked none-stop to create the perfect dolls, one's that would put her husband to shame. But she couldn't make female dolls, after all he would get the stupid idea she was trying to copy his works, so she made male dolls. During the period of making them, she was traveling all over the world to get ideas of what they would reflect. Like for example, Ize and Oze were made in Spain and Yario was made in the US"
Shinku and Jun let all the information sink in before saying anything else.
"So, how did you get a hold of all of them" Shinku was first to ask.
"And if their not Rozen Maiden dolls, then what are they called?" Jun continued.
Isabella inhaled deeply. "Even though the wife made them in different countries, she didn't leave them there. Eventually she settled in France when she was 80 years old. In her last years, the woman wrote her will in 3 letters and shipped them out, and made the last doll, Pandora. The woman died 3 years after she completed her, since the first letter of her will was mailed to her only daughter, the daughter read it and it said that she would inherit all the dolls"
"Her daughter married and had one child, a girl"
"That still does not answer my question" Shinku pressed.
Isabella sighed. "Well that girl is me. My mother died when I was 5 years old and my papa couldn't deal with taking care of a child and had too much grief, he committed suicide. So I was given the dolls and ever since then they've been with me"
"Did your grandmother give them a name?" Jun asked, his mind a little swarmed with all the info being processed.
"Their Revanche Dolls"
"What does "Revanche" mean?"
"Revenge" Shinku deadpanned. Isabella looked surprised but nodded nonetheless.
"So let me get this straight.." Jun started with a complexed expression. "Rozen married. She cheated. They divorced. She found out all along he had been cheating on her. She made these dolls to get back at him and named them Revanche...which means revenge"
"In a nutshell" Isabella nodded.
At that moment Nori rushed into the room. "Juunnn! There you are!"
She ran over to him. "I thought something happened to you since you didn't come back!"
"Nori! Gee- Ff" Jun tried to pry off hi sister but she tightened her grip on him, suffocating the air out too.
The girl finally noticed the company and squealed. "Konnichiwa. My name's Nori, Nori Sakura. Who may you be?"
"Isabella" Bella replied with slight annoyance.
"Nice to meet you, so why are you in my brothers room?" Nori asked with a menacing aura around her. Isabella looked on with a blank stare.
"Just talking"
"OH? What were you talking about?" She pressed on.
"Rozen"
Nori sighed and looked relieved. "Okay, well I'll let you guys continue, after all it's not everyday Jun has a girl in his room" She stated with a wink in Jun's direction.
The boy blushed in response. "Nori, get out of here!"
Shinku merely glanced over at Jun before continuing with Isabella. "Rozen created the Alice game for the Rozen Maiden dolls to fight and at the end, one becomes Alice, the perfect doll. Does that mean Revanche Dolls are exempt from this?"
Isabella looked bewildered for a moment, "Alice game? Fighting? Perfect doll?"
Shinku nodded. "Back when Rozen was making the Rozen Maiden dolls, he had a vision in mind for the perfect doll. And she was called Alice. He tried to make her, but was not able to. So he came up with the Alice game. Who ever defeats the other 7 Rozen Maiden dolls and takes their Rosa Mystica would become Alice and live with Rozen forever in peace. It's all of our dolls dream to be the one who father loves the most, so much that some would kill for it"
"He made you guys just for you to fight each other for his selfish desires" Isabella said more than asked. She couldn't believe someone could be so cruel, to make dolls and love them as they love you then to tell them they have to fight each other so he could get his perfect doll, Alice. 'Wait...Alice...Alice..Ali-Now I remember it!' She thought excitedly..
"I knew the name Alice sounded familiar" Isabella began. "In the first letter of my Grandmothers will, she mentioned something about how Rozen would talk about a doll named Alice. During her time in Germany, she made one more doll and named it Alice. She wanted revenge but deep down in her heart, she knew she still loved him with little pieces. Everything he ever described in a doll, she made it into reality. But for reasons that are still a mystery, she never gave her to him. Instead, she hid the doll in it's box where she thought no one would ever find her. In hopes she could return to the doll, but she died before having a chance to"
"It's one of the main reasons I want to find the rest of her will" Isabella finished.
"In the first letter she mentioned Alice and probably left a secret code to where you can find the second letter. The second letter, once found, will probably give directions to where the third letter is. The third letter will have the exact coordinates to where Alice is hidden" Shinku pieced it together.
"Ya, pretty much" Isabella nodded.
Then she become very serious.
"But, somehow my grandmother's works were made to the public and now there are people searching for them and will do anything to get a hold on just one of these dolls. It's a must that I stay hidden as well as the dolls" She solemnly said.
"So where are you staying?" Jun asked. She smiled at him.
"Well..." Isabella drowned on and he instantly picked up on what she was getting.
"Nuh-uh! No way, I barely even know you and you want to live in my house for awhile?" Jun was out of his seat and looked like he was going to start laughing.
"Yes" Isabella simply said.
"I don't see much of a problem with it" Shinku commented. Jun eyed her for awhile and finally sighed in defeat.
"Fine. But I don't know where you will sleep" He said.
"Hmm...I could just sleep on the couch. I doesn't matter to me much" Isabella replied.
"We probably should tell the others" Jun sheepishly stated to Shinku, she nodded.
