I know I work fast, and I know this chapter is not only short but crap, but it's just the last part. Just deal with it, and be thankful you all got such a fast update.

'Trust in yourself, or you'll never trust others.

Yet, who do you trust, if you trust nobody?'

-Marina, Rozen Maiden Vertrauen


"Souseiseki?" She snapped back and looked at the confused Marina.

"Huh?" Marina blinked.

"You didn't answer my question. You just blanked out."

"O-oh. Sorry. But, I think we should go downstairs. I think that Suiseiseki will need some help."

"Huh?" Souseiseki walked over to the door, dragging her block behind her, and opened it. Screaming wafted up the stairs and startled the two of them.

"Jun! Drop Hinaichigo and Suiseiseki!"

"No way!"

"Please put Hina down!"

"I swear, if you don't put me down, I am so gonna hurt you, you puny human!" Souseiseki turned to the girl and smiled.

"Come on. We've got to make sure Suiseiseki doesn't kill Jun." Marina nodded.

"Okay."


Barasuishou jumped from roof to roof, tracing in her head the route to the Sakurada boy's house. She smiled. She jumped onto a large white building with a small in comparison red cross. She jumped down several window sills until she stopped at one with its curtains open. The inhabitants of the room didn't know she was there, so she crouched down and watched the exchange.

"Don't you want some cake, Angel-san?"

"I know it's useless to ask you to stop calling me that."

"Well?"

"Sure. I've had worse." The doll took the plate and looked at it. The girl in the bed tilted her head slightly.

"Something wrong, Suigintou?" The doll scowled as she stared at the cake as if it were the target of her hatred.

"That doll...she said something about Father. It makes me think that she knows him. And by what she says, he lives with him. How could she be so lucky?" The plate cracked as she tightened her grip on it.

"I've always tried my hardest to meet Father. All I've ever wanted was to meet him, to show him that I'm not junk. And then she comes along and says she knows him. How can that be possible?" She screamed, totally shattering the plate and causing the cake the crumble and fall onto the bed sheets.

"Oh, Suigintou!" Barasuishou smiled again, then jumped away from the scene. Now, she was on her way to the human's house.


Jun limped into his room, panting. Suiseiseki walked past him, into the room.

"Serves you right." She walked over to where Hina was setting up all their cases. Marina held onto her case, and once everyone's cases were set up, she pushed her case to in between the twins'. She then opened the lid. But before she could step inside, Jun asked her something.

"Huh? What was that?"

"I said, what did you mean at dinner about your Father?" She looked down.

"I can't say," she murmured. He leaned forward.

"What?"

"I can't say." Marina looked ready to cry, but before the boy could try and comfort her, she stepped into her case and slammed it shut, although silent sobs could be heard from inside. The other dolls opened their cases.

"Still no luck?" Shinku asked. Jun shook his head. The four dolls sighed.

"She certainly is stubborn, that's for sure," Suiseiseki said. Hina pushed her case lid fully open and put her now free hand on her lap.

"Why does she have to be so secretive?" Souseiseki shook her head.

"Who knows." They put down their case lids and set about trying to get to sleep. Jun stayed awake a few moments more, then, when he gave a long yawn, decided to try again tomorrow.


Hinaichigo: I wonder who Marina really is.

Shinku: Oh, I'm sure she is who she says she is, it's only what she's hiding that we need to wonder about.

Jun: Yeah, I mean, what's so big that she can't tell us?

Suigintou: Especially about Father.

Suiseiseki: She's so secretive, I can't bare it.

Souseiseki: Maybe she'll tell us something next time?

Marina: Next time, on Rozen Maiden Vertrauen...

Shinku: It's secrets cannot be trusted.
