Photobooks: Chapter 9.
"So, what do you think about it?" asked the black haired man. The green eyed girl smirked.
"Can't we start already?" she asked. The black haired man stroked her cheek.
"Have patience, my dear…" he said. He stared outside the window. He looked sadly at the ice blue crystal in front of him. A girl with long black hair in two ponytails was trapped into the crystal.
"Why did you do it?" asked the girl. The man sat down on his chair next to the desk.
"I didn't want her to become… The Ruler…"

Junhoshi Mountains.
"Shouldn't we get back?" asked Mieru. The others shrugged.
"Yeah. Mei is right! We also have to report to Gumi what… happened to Yobio…" Sora said. "I wish I could save her with my Magic…"
"Sora-san, it's too late already. We tried to save Yobio. She even let herself fall down in the cliff" said Ichi. Then Sora snapped her fingers.
"Wait. It's weird. Yobio said herself once that she had to accomplish something. So, Yobio can't just die…" said Sora. "She is still alive" the others agreed with her.
"We'll just wait. Yobio is going to come back" said Kiba. "I'm sure of it"

A girl with a dark grey cape was standing on a mountain at the Junhoshi Mountains. She sighed and put her hand over her eyes.
"How troublesome…" she said. A boy behind her smiled. He was leaning against a tree, that was covered in snow. He had brown hair and brown eyes and also had a cape, but his was black.
"Apple?" he asked. He threw her an apple. She catched it without looking back.
"Thanks" she replied and took a bite from the apple. "Tonight Alice is going to look for the Junhoshi Diamond, right?" asked Kosu. The boy nodded.
"I will take care of everything, like always…" he said. Kosu rolled her eyes.
"Don't get too excited, Yoji" said Kosu. Yoji smirked.
"Come on, Kosu. We've been friends forever!" said Yoji.
"I know. So, what? You saved me before I was killed by my mother, and then what?" asked Kosu. "But get ready for tonight. This will be my biggest theft till now" she said. Yoji nodded. Kosu looked back at him. She then turned her back to him, and jumped of the big hill.
-x-
- To the Police Force.
As you know already, I will be stealing your precious Junhoshi Diamond. And, what a disappoint for the most wanted thief. Alice will attending my party too. Let's make a deal, dear Police Force. If I get caught, I make sure to get Alice also caught. But, if she gets caught, I will bring back the Junhoshi Diamond, because Alice is my dear rival in the art of steal. And without a rival, I am nothing really.
- From your dear, Kid.
-x-
Kosu smirked as she saw the Police Force making a fuss about the letter. Yoji stood next to her, smirking also.
"Good job, Kosu" he said.

"Let's go over to the battle between Kid and Alice!" said the woman on TV. Everyone hurriedly looked up. They saw a girl standing with brown hair, and another one facing her with greyish hair. "These two have been on the top 10 most wanted list in The World for a while now, who is going to get the most precious Junhoshi Diamond?"
"Where is Yone?" asked Sora. "She has to see my two favorites thieves ever!"
"Probably asleep. She was tired since we came back from… yesterday" said Kiba. Sora nodded.
-x-
"So, we meet again, dear Alice" stated Kid as she put her hands on her hips. Alice smirked.
"How long has it been?" asked Alice. Kid rolled her eyes.
"Since our last theft on the Kone Diamond, well, very long" replied Kid. Alice also rolled her eyes.
"Let's cut this chit-chat. You don't know even where the entrance is" said Alice. Kid laughed a bit.
"You don't even know where the Aohana Crystal is!" she said.
"By the way, I heard that if you get caught by the police, that you will help them to get me?" asked Alice. Kid smirked and put her hands in her pockets, a little bit playing with her wind powers to bolt up her cape.
"Yep" replied Kid. Alice chuckled.
"You know that it won't work, right?" asked Alice. Kid shrugged.
"So? If you get caught, than I will bring the Junhoshi Diamond back" said Kid. Alice looked at her with a confused look.
"You're the most wanted thief in The World. Why would you want to bring it back?" asked Alice. Kid shrugged again.
"I don't know. Don't ask me, ask my conscious or something!" said Kid, throwing her arms in the air at irritation. "Well, if you excuse me… Au revoir!" said Kid, and disappeared in thin air.
-x-
Koji sighed as he watched Kid running towards the entrance clumsy. She tripped almost over a little stone, but caught her balance as she grabbed an pole standing near a door. She jumped and broke into a window.
"What a troublesome girl…" he said as he slapped his forehead.
-x-
"Get Kid! She may have escaped the last theft, but this time she won't!" yelled the inspector, Yamaguru. Kid turned around while running, so she was running backwards now. She stuck out her tongue and grinned playful at the police running behind her. Then, she tripped.
"W-Whoa!" she exclaimed as she hit the ground.
"This is our chance, get her!" yelled Yamaguru. Kid quickly stood up from her position, and stumbled a few times, but quickly ran away.
-x-
Alice was trying to find the room where the Junhoshi Diamond was.
"Geez, where is that stupid diamond…?" asked Alice as she looked around. She looked beside her, and sweat dropped. "Serious, a map?" she looked at the map. She put her finger on it, and looked for the room with the diamonds. She stopped at a blue square. "There!" she said and ran off.
"W-Whoa!" she heard Kid yell. Alice slapped her forehead. She imagined Kid falling on the floor, and quickly running away.
"Stupid girl…" said Alice and ran away.
-x-
Kid stopped running. She was surrounded by the men of Yamaguru. She sighed, but smirked. She put her hands in her pockets, and looked around. She put her hands in front of her.
"Oh, dear. I am gonna get caught for the first time in my life!" said Kid dramatically.
"Remember your sweet little notice from you, Kid?" asked Yamaguru as he held a white letter between his fingers. "You will help us to get Alice, alright?" Kid chuckled.
"Yeah, yeah. Just get the handcuffs and follow me" said Kid. Yamaguru nodded, and signed a few men to follow her.
-x-
"Oi, Alice!" yelled Kid. Alice looked up. She knew she was near the room of the diamonds, but she heard Kid yelling to her.
"What?" asked Alice. Kid grabbed something from her pocket. Alice widened her eyes. It was the Junhoshi Diamond. "How did you-"
"Simple. No one can stop the Almighty Kid!" said Kid as she spread her arms beside her. She secretly made a sign with her fingers. Two policemen quietly walked up behind Alice, while she was talking with Kid. "NOW!" yelled Kid. The two policemen grabbed the arms of Alice. She looked beside her.
"You! This was all set up by you!" yelled Alice. She glared to Kid.
"Now, now. Don't glare at me like that. You will get wrinkles from that" said Kid. "And this little thingy, isn't the Junhoshi Diamond at all" said Kid. She let the blue 'stone' fall on the ground. It bounced back to her hand.
"When I get out of the jail, I'll make sure to get revenge on you!" yelled Alice as she was carried away by the two policemen. Kid rolled her eyes.
"Sure, stupid…" she said. Yamaguru walked up next to Kid. "And, how did I do? Inspector-san~" asked Kid playfully.
"Thanks for you, uh, help Kid" said Yamaguru feeling uneasy. "I would like if you could join the-"
"Nah" said Kid before he was done speaking. She wrinkled her nose.
"Huh?" asked Yamaguru.
"I don't like policemen!" whined Kid.
"Well then. I arrest you because of thievery" said Yamaguru. In a quick flash, he handcuffed her. Kid just smiled.
"Too bad for you, Inspector-san!" said Kid in a robotic voice. Yamaguru looked confused. "This is just a dummy! Hehe! Warning. This dummy will explode in 10, 9, 8…" said the dummy. Yamaguru widened his eyes.
"Evacuate the building!" yelled Yamaguru.
"7, 6, 5…" the policemen started running away.
"QUICKLY!" Yamaguru yelled another time.
"4, 3, 2…" the whole building was evacuated by now, only the dummy was still standing there.
"1… Have a nice foolish day!" said the dummy, but didn't explode. Outside, Yamaguru was standing with his hands covering his ears. He looked confused as he saw that the building didn't explode. He then saw a figure standing on the roof.
"What the?" he began. He looked up to see the figure. It was Kid standing with a blue diamond in her hand and a black ball in her other hand. She threw the ball beneath her. It exploded, and ash started to spread everywhere. Everyone started coughing.
"Haha… Au revoir, Inspector-san!" he heard Kid yelling.
-x-
Alice was put in jail. When they closed the bars, she tried to get out. But it was already locked.
"Damn that Kid…" said Alice as she punched the wall. Suddenly, she heard a whistle. She looked behind her. She saw Kid. "What are you doing here?" hissed Alice quietly. Kid grinned playfully.
"Ah, just hanging around… No, I am gonna get you out of there" she said. Alice glared at her. "Okay, then. Then I'll just go away…" said Kid, and started getting up from her position.
"Wait!" said Alice. Kid stopped walking. She spun around, and smirked.
"Why, Alice. Did you change your mind?" asked Kid. Alice thought for a second. Last time, she saved Kid from falling of the building, so she could trust Kid for now.
"Yes. Just get me out of here" said Alice. Kid nodded. She formed a wind sword with her wind powers. Alice widened her eyes unnoticeably. Kid cut the bars with a flash.
"Okay then. See you!" said Kid and disappeared again.
"Is she…?" began Alice.
-x-
"The Police Force had caught Alice just a few hours ago, but it seems like that she has escaped. Probably with help from Kid" said the woman on TV.
"Well, it's almost Christmas, ain't it?" asked the man beside her. "It's probably an early Christmas present for Alice. Or, Kid just felt the Christmas spirit inside of her" he replied with a chuckle.
"Yawn… I am gonna sleep…" said Sora as she stretched out her arms. Kiba and Ichi nodded. The three of them were sitting in the living room, and the others were quietly asleep.
"Yeah, me too…" said Kiba and also yawned. Ichi stood up.
"Goodnight then" she said and walked to her room.
"G'night!" replied Sora.
-x-
"Oi, Yoji!" yelled Kid as she entered the half broken house. Yoji looked up.
"Yeah?" he replied. She tossed him the Junhoshi Diamond.
"Is it this one?" asked Kid. Yoji walked to the window, and held the diamond high.
"Good job, Kid. This is the blue Pandora Diamond" he said. Kid grinned and high-fived Yoji.
Inspire-chan (2011): Wow, longest chapter till now! I think…
At the beginning, Sora said that Yobio 'told something'. This isn't mentioned in the chapters itself, so you didn't miss something (: And so, now you know that our dear Yobio isn't dead!
Alice and Kid finally meet! The 'last' theft they had, was with the Kone Diamond, which means Peace of Sound. This is also not mentioned in the chapters. And I am sure, that you know what Au Revoir means, right?
Hint, hint! 'Her mother tried to kill her'. One thing revealed from her past!
Okay, I will tell you something about the story. To defeat Kouhei, you must have the seven Pandora Diamonds. Some people achieve immortality, more power, powers to see in the future, and more. Each has a different color.
