Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne By Arina Tanemura Translated by Susan Chapter #7 The Night Before the Revolution --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flashback: "When you said you wanted to go out with me, are you lying?" "Yes" Maron: Liar, Liar you big liar! Maron runs home Minazuki: Where did Maron go? View of Minazuki sitting in a corner Minazuki: Chiaki told me to wait for Maron, but where is she? The door opens, Maron walks in Minazuki: Maron! Then he sees Maron is crying, he hides behind the mailboxes Narration: I had this kind of feeling before, it was when I open the mailbox and it's empty. Then I will feel like I'm betrayed. Now, I get Chiaki's letter everyday, I thought I finally got happiness. But, even that is fake. She cries even harder Maron: That... Chiaki... I hate him... Minazuki listens sadly Minazuki: Maron! You came back? Maron turns around Maron: Ah, it's Minazuki, what's wrong? She looks perfectly fine, even smiling cutely. Minazuki is really surprised. Minazuki: I happened to come near here... Maron: Then do you want some tea? Minazuki: No thanks. I have to study, I just dropped in to see you. Arrows point to his word: Lying, this one's lying too Maron: Minazuki you are weird, don't we see each other everyday? She walks to the elevator Minazuki: It's the same strong Maron chan! Narration: I have to forget it! I have to be strong, I won't cry because of that, I promised myself I won't cry again. I DON'T NEED CHIAKI!!! Chiaki's dad: Chiaki! Please tell me why you left home! Chiaki: No way! Because you asked Yoshito for address to take me home, right? Arrow points to Chiaki's dad: He's right Chiaki: I'm sorry, but I'm not going home. Miyako jumps in and grabs Chiaki dad's arm Miyako: Chiaki, good morning. I love you so much today Then she realizes she got the wrong person Miyako: Ah! I'm sorry! Chiaki's dad: Good morning Miyako! Narration: I put this note in yesterday, she didn't read it... Miyako grabs Chiaki's arm Miyako: Once again, good morning Chiaki! Chiaki: Good morning Miyako! Where is Maron? Miyako's sad Miyako: She said she's going to leave early today Chiaki: Oh... Someone: Because she's the star of Japan! Chiaki: Star? Scenes of Maron doing gymnastics very prettily Ms. P: Maron, this is so good! Even though there's no club today, you still came to practice! It's so touching! Maron: Done! She holds up a full dish of delicious stuff, Ms. P claps while other girls look in disbelief Narration: Right! I don't need Chiaki in my life! She plays the basketball and is winning. Chiaki looks at her in the crowds Narration: I'm very strong, and I'm used to living alone. So, I'll live alone like this forever. I don't need anyone, because I'm very strong! Ms. P: Can someone do the problem on the board? Maron: Me! Ms. P: Maron. She goes to the board, thinking to herself she knows the answer because she already finished it. Then she realizes that she didn't do that one. When she's worried about doing the problem, Chiaki raised his hand. Chiaki: Miss, I want to do the second one. Ms. P: Go ahead. He walks to board and holds up his book so Maron could see. The answer is there with a arrow saying "see here". Maron's heart starts to beat really hard. Maron: Sorry, I can do this one. Ms. P: What's wrong? Are you feeling okay? Maron: No, not really. Ms. P: It's already the fifth period, why don't you go home now. Miyako: Alright, I'll walk her home. Minazuki: I'll go too. Maron: Thank you, but no thanks. I'll go myself. She walks the room while Chiaki looks on Narration: Liar! Everything is fake, don't believe it! Don't believe it... but why am I feeling happy? Maron: I'm very strong... very strong... strong Then she bumps into Chiaki's dad Dad: Oh I thought I heard your voice. Maron. Maron: Ah, Chiaki's... Dad: Chiaki's brother! Maron: Dad! Dad: Chiaki doesn't want to home right now, so I'm going to talk to the principal. But I came to the library first, because I like books. He takes a book out, Maron laughs Dad: What's so funny? Maron: You guys are so alike! Chiaki read that book once Dad: Really? Really? This book is on medicine, I read it before. I'm so happy Chiaki has at least a little bit interest in becoming a doctor. Maron: I don't understand why Chiaki hates you so much and you still like him so much. Dad: Doesn't your parents like you? Maron: No. I'm a neglected child. My parents, because of work, lives in other countries, they haven't talked in a long time. They wouldn't bother thinking about me! She sees Chiaki's dad looking through a pile of books Maron: Are you listening to me? Dad: Aha! Found it! Maron: Architecture Magazine? Dad: You are the daughter of the famous Kusakabe Takumi, aren't you? Maron: Yes. Dad: I thought so! You probably hate the work that took your parents away from you, right? Maron: Yes, I hate it very much! Dad: You probably won't say that again after you see the name of this French theme park on the cover. Maron: "Maron Dome"? Finished on May 30th, that's my birthday... Chiaki's dad smiles: Kusakabe Takumi designed this. I think this suppose to be your birthday gift since it's named after you. He doesn't seem to me like a person that would neglect his own daughter. Maron thought of her dad hugging her with her mom next to them, then her rosary beeps. Maron: I have to go now. Her thought bubble: Fin's calling me! Dad: Sorry for bugging you. Oh yeah, are you GOING out with Chiaki? Maron: Why, why would you ask? Dad: That's because I saw Chiaki running after you yesterday like he ever did, also, you didn't seem like you want Chiaki to go home. Maron: You are wrong! It's not like that! She slams the door shut and walks out the room blushing Narration: I hate that liar! No way I would like him! Fin flies over and hugs her...face Fin: Maron! Maron: AHHH! Fin! Fin: Ha ha! I sure scared you! Maron: What are you wearing? Fin is wearing sun glasses and sitting on a duck with a bow Fin: I'm angel Fin who has came for you! I already sent the arrival notice, it's okay for you, right? Maron: Of course. Let's go tonight! [The word "Guts" is above her head] Fin: Oh yeah, someone called you when you weren't here. Maron: What? Access: Over there, Sinbad. On Jeanne's arrival notice, the painting she wants is over there. Sinbad: Oh. [They are on a tree] Narration: She really wants to be my enemy... Maron... Sinbad: Let's go! Police: Who's there? Sinbad: I am... Kaitou Sinbad! [Very cool entrance] Woman: He appeared! The man who wants to steal my painting! Minazuki: All right Sinbad! I'll capture you! He runs to Sinbad, Sinbad moves, he slams into a wall Sinbad: You are too easy! Checkmate! Access grabs the chess piece: We finally got the chess piece before Jeanne did! Sinbad: Oh yeah, why didn't Jeanne come? Miyako: Didn't she send the arrival notice? She's probably afraid of me! Ha ha ha ha! Sinbad: Access, let's go. Miyako: Why didn't she come? Jeanne... Chiaki: Maron! Maron! He goes into every room, franticly searching for Maron Narration: Not here... Chiaki: Where did she go? Access: Chiaki! He spots the answer machine Narration: Answer machine? He listens to it Answer Machine: Beep! Maron? This is your mom... Your dad and I... We finally decided to divorce. But, we haven't decided who should keep you, so your lifestyle should remains the same. That's all... Beep! Chiaki sees a picture of Maron Narration: Maron! END OF CHAPTER 7
