'What the…'

With that news alone, even the sound of the leaves could be heard. At that very moment, the moonlight shone above the mysterious kaitou, smiling malevolently at them.

"You seem shocked eh?"

Jeanne gritted her teeth, yet worry showed clearly in her eyes. Sindbad stood there, dumbfounded.

"Who is your mother that you've come all the way here just to find her?" Jeanne asked. "Be careful Jeanne…" Fin whispered in her ear.

Kaitou Ferris laughed and responded by aiming his bow and arrow at her. "Well, we'll have to find out won't we?" he said, releasing the arrow straight at her heart.

"Jeanne!"

Before she knew it, Sindbad pulled her away from the arrow and they fell off the branch that they were standing on. THUMP!

"Ow! You made me fall you pervert!" Jeanne yelled, rubbing her elbows. "Uh, will you get off me…?" a muffled voice replied. Jeanne looked down and screamed. She was sitting on Sindbad, right in his face. Regaining her poise, she jumped off and looked up. Sindbad then stood up, smiling at her.

"Quit it! It was an accident!"

"Jeanne!" It was Fin.

Jeanne quickly went back up, ready to beat the living daylights out of this guy, when suddenly another arrow shot straight past her and pierced her angel friend right in the chest. The impact was so strong and sudden that Fin was forced against the trunk of the tree.

"Fin!" Jeanne cried. The arrow, being enchanted as it was, suddenly began emitting forceful black power. Fin screamed as the force began sucking all that was holy out of her. "Fin! I'm coming!" Access cried out, flying swiftly towards her. In response the arrow shot the black angel, making him crash into three other tree branches away. Fin screamed even harder.

Jeanne quickly grabbed the arrow's stem, feeling her hands burn faster than anything she had experienced before. The effect was so strong that not even she can hold on any longer than 5 seconds.

"Ah!" Jeanne stood back, holding her hands that were searing in pain. She watched helplessly at Fin and angrily turned to Kaitou Ferris.

"I don't believe you're half angel. Taking away the holiness of an angel just makes you even more a devil than you are now." She held her baton, ready to seal the evil out of him when suddenly…

"My child…"

Jeanne tensed. Fin's screaming faded away, and replacing it was a voice so cold yet so much like Fin's.

Sindbad got back up and gasped, staring. Jeanne slowly turned and stared at what was once her guardian angel. The arrow slowly pulled away on its own and fell down. Her hair changed from green to pale black, her white and green clothes now all black and white, and her eyes changed entirely. Fin also grew to human size and was now the same height as Jeanne.

"My son," Fin said, smiling at Ferris. "It's been a long time."

"Fin…" Jeanne uttered weakly. Ferris suddenly appeared before his mother, fell to his knees and looked at her. "Okasan..."
