Mysteries-Part II
The Next Day:
"Fin? Where did you go?" Maron looks around for Fin.
"Are you hiding in the candy jar?" Maron opens the candy jar to see if Fin is in there. She isn't.
"Maron! Open up! I have a question for you! Maron!" Miyako is about to break down the door when Maron opens it.
"Ah! Miyako! What are you doing here, at this time? It's 6:00 in the morning!" Maron protested with a fist by her side, ready to punch Miyako.
"Weren't you listening? I have a question for you!"
Miyako is carrying some books to get ready to go to school instead of going back to her apartment for them.
"Eh? A question?"
"Yeah, who do you keep talking to? Everytime I come here, you're always talking to someone. Then, I hear another voice." Miyako has question marks all around her head.
"I'm not talking to anyone!" Maron retorted.
"Right! Like that beeping I always hear when we get near someone acting weird!" Miyako slammed down her books on Maron's desk.
"What beeping?"
"Sure, like you don't know, huh?" Miyako sat in a chair and crossed her legs.
"Ah! Miyako! We have to go! It's already 8:10!" Maron ran out the door before she answered Miyako's question.
"Maron! Wait up!" Miyako yelled after Maron, already on the elevator.
After School:
"Maron! You still didn't answer my question! Come back here! You know something about Jeanne, am I right?"
Maron ignored Miyako and kept running away, while Miyako was still yelling at her.
"Maron? What's wrong? What did Miyako want?" Fin appeared out of Maron's backpack, flying after Maron.
"Nothing...."
"Maron! You know better than to lie to me! Tell me the truth!" Fin flew over to Maron and sat on her shoulder.
They both arrive at the apartment, take the elevator, and walk into Maron's room. Maron completely forgot about her mail box.
"Fin...no matter what happens, you'll always be there for me, right?"
"Yeah! Why not? I love you, Maron! So, can you tell me now? What's wrong?"
"Ok, Fin. Miyako sorta figured out that I'm Jeanne."
"Eh? How?"
"My rosary always beeping and she hears me talking to you whenever she comes over..."
"We have to think of something that will make her know that you're not Jeanne." Fin starts circling around the room.
"I know....but how? Doshio?" Maron also circles around the room, pondering over about what to do.
"I got it! Pretend to be sick the day Jeanne checkmates! What do you think?" Fin landed on a desk and looked at Maron.
"Good idea! What's the next target?" Maron asked very eagerly.
"That's the bad news..."
"Eh? Why? What is it?" Maron bent down to Fin.
"The target is has possessed Miyako's dad...and it's in their house."
"Miyako! Doshio? Even, worse...her dad? "
"Uh huh...that's why it's bad news..."
"Well, I'll go to make Miyako happy!" Maron stood up, ready to transform into Jeanne, with a determined look on her face.
"I already sent the notice. It's set for 5:00!"
"5?! I didn't even start my homework and it's already 4:30! Gotta do my homework, gotta do my homework..." Maron rushes over to her desk and starts her homework saying 'gotta do my homework' over and over.
"Eh? Hurry up! It's almost time to checkmate!"
"Don't rush me! The less noise, the faster I complete it!" Maron yelled, unaware Miyako was standing right outside her door, listening to everything.
"Okay..." Fin slowly moves away from Maron with her hands close to her chest.
I will take the spirit from the statue in the Toudaiji household at 5:00.
Kaitou Jeanne
In 15 minutes, Maron is done with her homework and is ready to seal the demon.
"Fin, please."
"Ok." Fin concentrates and brings power into Maron's rosary.
"Jeanne d'Arc, give me your power..." Maron is glowing with a pinkish color.
"Strong and serious..."
"Matchless and marvelous..."
"Energetic and courageous!"
Kaitou Jeanne slips through a window and into the Toudaiji household.
'Hmm...where is it?'
Jeanne looks around and sees nothing but paintings.
"Kaitou Jeanne! I know you're here to steal my dad's favorite statue!" Miyako shouted behind Jeanne.
"Ms. Detective...I see we meet again. I thank you for letting me go the last time."
"Eh? Demo...I still won't let you have the statue!"
"Gomen. I have to...or..."
"Or...?"
Jeanne hesitated before finding enough courage to complete her sentencs.
"Your dad will die..."
"Die?! Why?" Miyako has a worried look on her face, when she notices Jeanne's face. It is similar to Maron's.
"Miyako..."
"How do you know my name? Are you by any chance by best friend who goes my the name Maron?"
"Um...um...I can't answer your question right now! I have a demon to seal!" Jeanne continues looking around for the statue when she notices that a painting is sticking out of the wall.
'Ha! Found it!'
"Seal? A demon?" Miyako ponders over the question until she realizes Jeanne has found where the statue is.
Jeanne moves the painting and finds a safe. She then decides to ask Miyako for a favor.
"Miyako...can you unlock this safe for me?" Jeanne asks very gently, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Why? You would be taking away my father's statue..."
"What is more important? A statue...or...your dad?"
"My dad...ok...I'll only open it...NOT to help you, though! It's for my dad!" Miyako has tears dripping down her face by now.
"I want him to be all right...about these demons you're talking about...they affect people, don't they?" Miyako starts opening the safe, waiting for Jeanne to answer her quesiton as well.
"Promise not to tell anyone, ne?"
"Yes, I promise."
"I know you will...yes, these demons do change people's personalities. If the demon has possessed the person for a long time, he/she will eventually die."
"Please! Seal this demon! I miss my dad!"
"Alright. Arigatou! For opening the safe, that is and letting me seal this demon."
"You're welcome."
"Under the name of God," Jeanne holds up her rosary, that is glowing with a pink color.
"You, demon born in the dark, I seal you here!"
A pin appears and Jeanne grabs it when the rosary stops glowing.
"CHECKMATE!"
Jeanne throws the pin and the pin connects to the statue. After 5 seconds, the pin turns into a chess piece.
"Ms. Detective, you now know what my purpose it, but don't give up on catching me. Hitmisio! It's our secret, don't forget!"
"I agree to trying to catching you, although it is just pretend."
Jeanne walks out the door and detransforms back to Maron.
'Miyako...I trust you not to tell anyone about this!'
Just then, Maron remembers about checking her mail box. She takes the elevator to the first floor and runs to check it.
I am sick today, Baby. Don't wait for me outside, at the balcony. Because I won't be there.
Chiaki
'Chiaki! Sick?! Why?'
Maron walks into the elevator and takes it back up to her level. She walks into her room and falls on her bed.
In Chiaki's Room:
"Chiaki! I put the note in Maron's mail box like you told me to. Are you feeling better?"
"Access. Arigatou! I feel much better compared to a few days ago. I'll be up and ready in no time."
"Good! Now, go back to sleep."
"Right. Goodnight Access. See you in the morning, ne?"
"Yes."
Mysterious shadows are back tonight, looking throught the windows.
"So, Maron, you discovered that you like Chiaki and that he is sick..."
The man starts laughing quietly.
"Well, get ready, the game's not over yet."
Now, the man is laughing really loud, but quietly enough to make sure no one will wake up.
