Kaitou Marie, however, was someone I thought up so
she is mine.


Ch.3 Angels, and demons, and Kaitou's oh my!


Beep Beep Beep Smash!
Finn was flattened as Kitty hit the off button to her alarm. By the time she came to, Kitty had already headed downstairs for breakfast. Finn pulled herself up from behind the clock and winced.

"Ai-yaaa....note to self, don't sleep near alarm clocks."

She flew out of the room and after Kitty.

Meanwhile in the dining room, Kurt and Evan were stuffing their faces full of pancakes while listening to Kitty.

"I'm serious. It was so real, but so crazy it had to be a dream. There was a green light and some little green haired angel named Finn wanted me to catch demons."

"Cool!", said Kurt in between bites and grinning, "Wish I had an angel come visit me at night." Kitty turned a glowing shade of pink and applied herself to her pancakes. "Actually, I think she said she was from Ohio. AND if you don't quit laughing Evan, I..THERE SHE IS!"

Kitty stood up so suddenly, her chair fell over backwards. Evan began making gagging noises until Kurt pounded on his back. "Jesus, Kitty, don't do that!" Evan gasped. "I'm sorry, I'll never laugh again." "Good one, Kitty," said Kurt,"let's get to school before the bell rings today."

"Okay."
Kitty was staring straight at Finn, who had been hovering over Kurt's head, motioning as if wanting to talk in private. "Just let me go grab my bookbag." Kitty ran back up to her room and slammed the door. Finn floated in front of her.

"Ok, angel girl, talk! If I didn't dream you than what's all this about demons and me catching them?" Finn crossed her arms and quickly began to explain. "You have a pure heart, Kitty, which means you are an ideal person to catch demons, they can't take over your soul so to speak. I'll show you how to find the demons and you catch them for God. I can't hang around and help much because Jean and your professor will start to notice me soon. But I'll come get the captured demons when I can. And I know you don't know how to fight demons, but if you become Kamikaze Kaitou Marie, you'll be able to with no problems. And no one else can see me but you, so don't start making people think you're crazy by saying there's an angel on their head. Also, you must keep your identity secret. It will be safer for you that way. Now hurry to school and we'll start tonight. Oh, here!" Finn tossed a small cross on a necklace to Kitty. "Wear it and if a demon is near it will feel warm. Bye!"

"Kitty! Come on!", Kurt ported in above her bed, grabbed her and her bag and ported to school with Kitty left wondering if she were only slightly crazy or fully insane.

By science class she decided that she'd seen too many other strange things in this world to believe she was crazy. *oh well, why not catch demons? I mean I AM an X-men and it's my job to make the world safer for people.*

"Class, I have a special treat for you all today. The gem and Mineral Society is holding a gem exhibition in the library and we're all going to attend instead of having a lecture today."

"Yeeeeaaahhhh!"

"And I expect a 2 page report about it on Monday."

"Awwwwwwwwwwww!"

The class shuffled down the hall to the library and spread out among the exhibits. Kitty wandered among the fossils and gemstones, and came to a group of people clustered around a glass case. Inside the case was a huge star sapphire with a label naming it "Angel's tear". Exclamations of "ooh", "ahh", and "Damn that's a big rock!" echoed all around. Kitty agreed. *Very big, very pretty* Suddenly she felt a warm sensation on her neck and remembered the cross. *Aw hell* she thought and quickly backed away.

"Why did it have to be the sapphire!", she whined to Finn later that night. "Why not a poster or a textbook?"

"Because it can reach more people by being in that jewel on display."
answered Finn.

"Ok, so how do I go about catching it?"

"Technically, you don't. Kaitou Marie will catch it. She's strong enough and has better skills for this situation. We just need your body and pure heart really. Wait! Hear me out!", Finn yelled as Kitty was about to get upset at that last comment. "Ususally it wouldn't work this way, but these are strange circumstances."

She pulled out the soulstone. "Marie was killed and her soul was trapped in this crystal many years ago. She never got a chance to reincarnate on her own or go to heaven, but she was...is able to fight the demons. Since both of you have pure hearts, she could be reincarnated through you. When you transform into Kamikaze Kaitou Marie, your body will alter to look like hers and you will be able to use her skills to battle demons while retaining your own personality. Normally I would be able to train you to work with her skills to fight demons. However, we don't have the time or resources to train you. You've already found a demon and it needs to be sealed as quickly as possible before it begins to poison souls."

Finn let out a long breath. "So here's what we do. You transform into Kaitou Marie to catch demons, but you let her take total control. She gets to live for a while during the night. She catches the demon while your personality is suppressed by hers. It'll be just like going to sleep. In the morning you'll wake up in bed refreshed and the demon battles will have seemed like a dream. And since you're the host or dominant personality, you will be able to retain control when to transform and detransform. As for your benefits, even when you are Kitty you'll be able to utilize some of Marie's skills. For example, I think you'll find yourself becoming one of the better gymnasts and getting an A in P.E. So, want to try catching a demon?"

Kitty nodded emphatically. Hell, it sounded like she may be getting the better part of the deal.

"Take the soul stone and don't be alarmed if you feel a little dizzy during the first transformation. Just hold the stone and think "transform".

Kitty held the glowing crystal tightly, closed her eyes and concentrated on "transform". And her world ripped apart.

Images flew through her mind; sensations, memories flooded her senses. The vertigo was so intense that she curled up on the floor wanting to throw up. She felt cramped and stretched, cold and hot at the same time. Finally she was able to pull herself up using her bed as support.

"Don't worry," said Finn, "Transforming the first time is always the worst. It will feel fine next time."

"Great", gasped Kitty. She still felt shaky, but the nausea was fading quickly. Then all feelings of sickness were replaced by shock as she caught sight of herself in the mirror.

*Oh my God! Is that me?!*

#No, it's me.# said a voice in her head. #Nice to meet you, I'm Marie. Or Kamikaze Kaitou Marie would probably be more appropriate.#

*Uh, yeah* Kitty was busy studying herself in the mirror. She was still about the same height, but that was where the similarities ended. Her hair looked like pure silver done up in a ponytail, but it was so long it hung to her lower back. Her skin was pale, but not dead looking. She had on a pale silver lipstick, and a fine dusting of glitter on her eyelids. Her eyes were a brilliant shade of blue. *Looks like I've been eating that spice from Dune* #hmph...# *No offense.* #S'okay#

Her "battle" outfit was definitely er..different. It consisted of a white, kimono looking top with blue ribbons woven up it's sides, and a short double skirt with a white top skirt and blue under skirt. On the back of the skirt was a long white ribbon done up in a bow. Underneath everthing was a white leotard. Her footwear was a pair of loose, white low cut boots with blue ribbons wrapped around them.

#If you're done inspecting me, how about we, or I go kick some demons. The night is waning.#

"Ok, Finn how do I detransform in the morning?" asked Kitty.

"Marie will most likely detransform on her own, but all you do is take your ponytail down."

#Alright, Kitty you just go on to sleep and I promise to bring you back safe and sound.#

*Good luck*, thought Kitty. She closed her eyes and felt a gently, mental nudge send her slowly falling into darkness.

Marie opened her eyes.
