Finding Hope

Meeting the Enemy

Jeanne, also known as Maron, looked outside the house where the demon had chosen its victim. The house was small, and it had a large window where you could see the living room perfectly. There, hung the painting of a beautiful red rose. That was her goal, to 'steal' that painting.

"Did you call the police?" Maron asked the young angel.

"No, I thought you would want to freshen up since you haven't done this in a while."

Maron nodded and planned her route on how to enter.

"PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH ME!" Screamed a lady around her 20's.

Even though Jeanne was across the street, hiding in a tree, she still heard it perfect.

They both saw as the lady appeared in the window and it seems like she was terrified.

A man then entered the living room, looking like he was possessed. She then fell down where Jeanne couldn't see her anymore. The man laughed at her stupidity and it looked like he kicked her.

Jeanne's eyes widened and quickly jumped off the tree and ran towards the house. "Be careful Maron!" Fin squeaked.

Jeanne just quickly kicked the window and caused it to break. She mentally kicked herself when she remembered the girl was on the floor. Luckily though, the girl had managed to be by the side of the window, unconscious.

The man quickly turned his cold green eyes towards Jeanne. "What the HELL are you doing?"

Jeanne smiled and replied, "Just going to seal you, that's all" She grabbed her pin and yelled, "Checked Mate!"

Jeanne jumped when she heard a loud shot. A bullet hit the pin and it fell aimlessly. She turned around and the man had a gun pointing at her.

"Do you think a gun will get me to run for my life?" She kicked the gun and it flew out of his hands. She watched as the gun fell and he took that chance and kicked her in the stomach. She winced and fell down in pain for a brief second, and then the man grabbed his gun then grabbed her.

"I would let you run now, but I would rather kill you."

Jeanne struggled, but this guy was tough. She silently called for Fin, but she never came.

'Am I really going to die?' She closed her eyes and tried to think of a plan.

She heard a screech of pain and she quickly opened her eyes. The man fell backwards unconscious, next to the other girl. She looked over and saw a man about her age, standing on the window.

"You weak girl, get out of here!" The lavender haired guy glared at her with his blue eyes.

She stood up, "I was fine! I could have taken care of it!" She pulled out another pin.

"Whatever." He grabbed his own pin and threw it at the painting. It quickly dissolved and he walked over and picked up the chess piece that it turned into.

He jumped back onto the window, "Why do you even bother? You're weak."

Jeanne was about to say something but he had jumped.

Maron jumped up as she heard her door knocking. She looked at her clock and it was close to 3:30am. She quickly opened her door and saw a drunk Satsuki glaring at her.

"Oh, hi! You should go to bed and sleep it off." She said wanting to laugh at his drunken face.

"Oh…don't worry about me! You on the other hand…sneaking off in the middle of the night." He then slapped her face.

"When I'm sober, I'm going to give you another punishment. Plus, the living room looks like shit."

Maron slammed the door. She didn't really care what he thought. At least he didn't do anything else.

Miyako walked out of her apartment looking somehow overly excited. Chiaki walked out at the same time.

"Hey Chiaki! Guess what!" Miyako ran up to him and started jumping up and down.

"Um…you ate ice cream for breakfast? Or wait, you finally killed that imaginary dog that attacks you while you sleep?"

"No, poochy does not att—hey wait! No, there was a break in last night! Seems that a witness saw a blonde haired girl leave the house around 11pm! AND my dad is letting me take on this case!"

Chiaki lifted up an eyebrow. "riigghhtt….and that should interest me…how?"

Miyako punched him in the arm, "You could at least try to care!" They both ended up laughing.

A door opened next to Chiaki and Maron came running out. 'gotta leave before Satsuki wakes up!'

She didn't notice Chiaki or Miyako till Chiaki grabbed her arm and stopped her.

"Oh Maron! You live in this apartment? What a coincidence!" Miyako jumped again.

Maron sweat dropped, "Um, yeah…how about we leave like now?" She pushed Chiaki and Miyako towards the door.

"Well it is a weekend, why don't we go shopping?" Miyako asked Maron.

"Yeah sure, ahhh the elevator won't open! Let's take the stairs!" She the pushed them towards the stairs…

Once they were outside, Maron finally stopped running. "So, shopping you said?" She asked innocently.

Chiaki and Miyako sweat dropped. "Yeah…"

Miyako decided to take everyone to a little open market that was in the downtown plaza. There, booths were set up and lots of people walked around.

Maron ran around the plaza as she admired all the beautiful stuff that was laid out.

Maron quickly stopped as she looked at a pink music box. She opened it and a beautiful angel appeared and started spinning like a ballerina. A soft melody started playing and she started to hum along with the tune.

"Oh you know this song?" Chiaki walked up behind her and admired the music box with her.

"My mom…sang this to me when I was younger. It helped me calm down when I was sad or upset." She continued to hum to it.

Chiaki admired her smile. Before, he could tell she'd been putting a happy-go-lucky scene, but he didn't believe a second of it. This though, she was happy.

"Why don't you buy it?" Chiaki asked her.

Her smile turned into a frown and closed the music box. "I don't have any money."

She started to walk off but he grabbed her arm. He pulled out his wallet and paid for the music box.

"No! You don't have to buy it for me!" She felt so guilty.

He handed her the music box and she was speechless.

"A simple thank you won't hurt. And oh a kiss won't hurt either."

It looked like she was about to cry, "Thank you." She then stuck out her tongue. "No kiss though!"

She ran over to where Miyako was looking at jewelry. Chiaki grinned evilly. This was so easy for him.

Maron snuck into the house around 8pm that night. She put her new treasure under her bed. The phone started to ring and she ran downstairs to answer it.

"Moshi Moshi?" She said happily.

'My…someone sounds happy today.' She heard a voice say. Of course though, it was her stepfather.

"Oh, I just had a good morning, that's all." Maron sighed.

'Oh, what did you do?'

"Um…I got up, and read this really good book." She lied.

'Great. Well, I am coming home tomorrow morning. I hope the living room is at my taste.'

"You'll love it. I spent endless hours on it"…. 'Even if Chiaki did most of the work.'

'Okay. Why don't we take a little trip together next weekend…you and me.'

Maron sweat dropped, "Why…?"

'It will be fun. Bye.' He hung up.

Maron set the phone back down. Trips with him weren't always the best.

She noticed Satsuki was still not home. He probably was out…again.

School was the next morning, and she had to study and go to sleep.

She opened her books and stared at her work. She really didn't get any of this. She glared at the book then closed it. It was already 9pm and she didn't want to call anyone that late to help.

Miyako was dealing with her new case that she kept talking about, and Minazuki was probably with her.

She stared at her wall and sighed. He might know something.

She walked out of her door and quietly knocked on his. He answered a few seconds later.

"Oh, hey what brings you here?" Chiaki then stared at the books she was holding.

"I am going to fail, I don't get any of this!"

Satsuki and Maron arrived at school early the next morning. Satsuki put an arm around her and he started to walk her to her homeroom. Satsuki glared at this one boy that seemed to be admiring his 'property'. He had glasses, and looked like a geek to him.

Satsuki leaned over and asked, "You know that loser?" He pointed to the boy.

"Yeah, that's Minazuki Yamato. Why?"

Satsuki growled and let go of Maron. He walked over to this 'loser' and the boy gasped.

"Why are you staring at her?" He glared.

Minazuki started to sweat from being nervous, "Um…I…um…well that is…"

Satsuki growled and lifted him up with one hand. "You son of a bitch. Look here…she is MY girl! You stare at her one more time and I will kick you're a—" ( AN: if your seeing the quotations weird…sorry…I do not know how to fix it…)

Satsuki was interrupted when someone tapped on his shoulder. He dropped the boy down, instantly forgetting about him and turned to see who would dare touch him.

Satsuki glared at the 'boy' he was now facing. To him, he looked like a weak boy that didn't deserve to be near his bubble.

"Picking on little ones?" Chiaki glared at him.

Satsuki smiled, "Only because he was looking at my girl, what would YOU do?"

Chiaki took a moment to look over at Maron, who was pleading with her eyes to leave before he gets hurt.

"That's what I thought, now leave my sight before it turns ugly." Satsuki pushed Chiaki out of the way.

Chiaki stood blank for a second then attacked Satsuki. Chiaki punched his face and Satsuki tried to do the same.

Maron on the other hand ran up to them and tried to break it off. She pushed Chiaki out of the way and he slid back on the floor. She hated to do this, but she helped Satsuki up.

"That's right." Satsuki said staring at Chiaki who helped himself up.

Maron stared at Chiaki with sad eyes. He glared at the two, why would Maron help that bitch instead of him?

Satsuki put an arm around Maron again, and they left.
