Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne Fan Fiction ❯ Someone Like Me... ❯ Normal Person Wanted! ( Chapter 3 )

[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]
*Oh, wow! I would've never thought my story would be so good. Well, thank you very much for the reviews, and here's chapter 3. This is a Miyako POV (this doesn't mean Yamato won't have any other chapter- there's no particular order in this). Oh, yes, the story is still rated R. Word in parenthesis are also things the character thinks, unless it's marked (AN:.....).

And I'd like to thank all those wonderful people who took their time and reviewed:

KawaiiTenshiDX - glad to be the first one to introduce Yamato to you ::smiles smugly:: Just kidding. Thanks. Oh, and I hope you don't mind that I used your old ID, when thanking, I just can't predict when you people change your names. I hope you'll forgive this lateness of mine.

Tamahomeluver- as always complimenting me too much. But I LIKE it. Anyway, I'm not really sure how fast I can write the chapters, but I'll do my best. I told you I have quite a lot of homework. Oh, yes. I'm sorry, maybe I'm a bit slow, but what did you mean by 'brings out money'?

Quicksilver-sama- why I'd never thought I'd see the day. People who have so many reviews, to actually like my story. Well Arigatou! Oh, by the way, I really like 'Pawns' ^^.

SailorDarklight- thanks for the compliments. As for the dream and reality, I thought I was clear. Well, my mistake. The dream begins to fade when Sinbad starts shaking Yamato, telling him to get up, then ends when he morphs into Yamato's mother.

Kat - Why, thank you, for thinking so high of my story. Actually I'm not worrying at all, just wanted to make some things clear, so I won't be flamed with thing like Yamato's parents never appeared, and that Noin did not die in the manga, or so. That's just it. Of course I'm keeping it up, especially with such nice reviews! ^^.

*___________________________*

I can't believe this! Has everyone gone mad all of a sudden?! Nah! This can't be happening, at least not to me. This must all be a big, ugly nightmare.

" Those appetising legs!" I hear Akita sighing.
"Right! I wish I could be alone when I catch her", Haruta sighs too.
"No chance! I'll be the one catching her!" he turns his head towards the ceiling, and closes his eyes, apparently dreaming about himself in a hero's pose.

Disgusting. What the hell did those two put into the letter? I thought that the warning, at least, was something normal. I'll have to have a nice little talk with the two. What's the big idea of setting the whole police department K.O.? I really hope for their own good sake, they are *not* intending to steal the PD.

"I highly doubt that Jeanne will even look at you two", I hear Natsuta commenting to the two.

Now that's what I call a real professionalism. Or maybe.... not.

"*I'm* the one for her. Well built, good looking, charming....", I can't do anything but sigh at this.

Hey! There's still hope. Fuyuta!

"Oh Jeanne!" Fuyuta sighs staring blankly out the window.

I simply *cannot* believe this. I'm sure Maron would never *ever* do something like this to me. Now, Chiaki... well yeah, he's another matter. Though I really don't think he'd stoop so low. I shake my head angrily, then on hearing my father...

"Now, now guys. Let's not fight. The one who catches Jeanne tonight, will have her", he announces solemnly.

Now that's it! This can't be! My father too?! So I get up swiftly, knocking the chair in process, and stalk over to dad, getting everyone's attention, minus my dad's of course. I put my hands firmly on the desk, before him, but he's with his eyes closed, so he doesn't notice me. I lean forward, so that my face is only inches away from his.

"Hi daddy", I great as sweetly as I can manage," Did I *really* hear well? Or could it be, that my ears were trying to trick me?", I continue through gritted teeth.
"Huh?", he opens one eye, then on seeing me, the other one," MIYAKO!" he shouts, and falls backwards together with his seat.

I make no attempt of helping him up. He's used to such incidents. He'll be up in a jiffy.

"Miyako, darling! What are *you* doing here?" he asks jumping up (what was I saying?).
"Daddy, darling", I repeat his words," I'm *always* here, when it's about Jeanne. *Remember*?", I stress the last word.
"Huh?", he looks at me dumbfounded for a second," Oh yeah... heheh...", he puts a hand behind his head embarrassed," Sure. Now. what's the plan this time?" he laughs awkwardly.
"I haven't thought about it *yet*. Actually I can't even *think* clearly round here", I straighten my position," I really hope that I was mistaken. Was I?" I eye him.
"Mistaken about what honey?" he looks at me innocently.
"Could you please repeat what you said to the detectives?" I tilt my head to the side, and look at him carefully.
"Why yes, honey. I was saying the one who catches Jeanne will have a great reward... From the chief", he quickly adds.
"Oh really?"
"Yes, honey. What's so strange in it? We've been trying to catch her, for so long".
"Suuureeeee", I smile slightly, apparently calming my father," And may I ask what the warning says?"
"Didn't you read it?" he looks at me stunned.
"Oh yes, *I* did. But you obviously *didn't*", I'm on the brink of my patience.
"Of course we did", he says.
"Good, then", I go over to Akita who's smelling the warning, snatching it away from him," read it once *again*. Loudly, if I may ask".
"Okay. It says: We're going to steal the 'Beauty of the Dawn', tomorrow night, that is tonight, at midnight. So?" he looks up.
"I think there is something more".
"Like what?"
"Like a signature. Read it too. *Aloud*", I glare at him.
"Kaitou kamikaze Jeanne and Kaitou Sinbad", he reads.
"Very well...", I look at him waiting for an answer.
"Yes", he doesn't seem to understand it.
"Would you please repeat the last two words?"
"Kaitou Sinbad", he repeats automatically.
"Good. What does this mean?"
"Huh? What?"
"That Kaitou Sinbad will *also* be coming. Even *more*, he's working with Jeanne together, now".
"Umm yeah... sure. I meant Kaitou Sinbad too", he adds quickly, too quickly

I eye him warily. He's just saying this. What's this change all of a sudden? Then, right in front of my eye, the Tower of Pisa straightens actually it doesn't straighten literally, but it's almost as if. My brother, Subaru, dashes through the door, holding a poster in his hands.

"Here", he unrolls it on dad's desk," when Jeanne goes through this door, she'll get caught by this machine. And I'll get her, by the hips and bring her here. Of course...", he trails off, winking to dad, who winks back.
"NANI?????????" everyone turns to look at me.
"Oh, sys. It's you, heheh... Nice to see you. What... what were you saying?" he smiled awkwardly.

I just stomp out of the office, slamming the door behind me. I don't care if the whole building collapses. So I won't hear these stupid, fantasising about Jeanne. How can they? She's only seventeen (AN: now this, I admit this is from the manga. I read somewhere, that in the manga she turns 17. I like 17 better than 16, why- could it because I'm 17?! Who knows? ^^). Oh, well... they don't know this. But they can see that she's much more younger than they are. This is not true! I'm dreaming... I shut my eyes and stop. To my great luck I stop in the middle of the street, just when the lamp turns red. I can faintly hear some noise, but I'm decided to shut them out. Suddenly I feel someone grip my hand and drag me somewhere. It feels nice... like flying... I knew I must be dreaming....

"Miyako! Miyako!" someone shakes me heftily.

I'm dreaming... I don't *have* to open my eyes...It's so nice this way...

"Miyako! Open your eyes please", I hear the voice again, more insistent, and maybe a slight whimpering too.

Does someone care about me enough to cry? Does? Then I remind myself that there is. Maron... she cares more than anything. She did not checkmate me, even if she should've had to... Chiaki told her there were no other way out... but she believed in me... Soft tears roll down my cheek, as I smile slightly.

"No! Please, Miyako! Don't do this!" I feel shaken once again.

This time I recognise the voice. Inchou... Does *he* care about me? That much? I slowly open my eyes and look at him.

"Inchou?" I bring a hand to his cheek, also stained with tears.
"Da--daijoubu?" he tries to hold his tears.
"Hai... I guess I wasn't dreaming after all", I smile as I see his dumb struck face," Thank you for not letting me standing there".
"Welcome", he manages to utter," What happened?" he asks genuinely concerned.
"What happened?" I repeat the question automatically, smiling sadly," I... I was looking for a sane person. Will *you* help me?" I look at him.
"I like to consider myself sane", he blurts it out, before he could stop his words.
"Then it's okay. Jeanne and Sinbad are planning to steal a painting. Want to come?"
"Sure. I was going to ask you the same thing. I heard you at school, lamenting about them", a smile makes its way to his lips.

* * * *

At first I thought it was not real... Then I stopped in the middle of the street thinking I was having, a horrible nightmare... And now? Akita had hit Yamato, because he said he would catch Jeanne and put her in jail. It really seems like they went all mad. But why all of a sudden?! I kneel down, next to Yamato and shake him. He stirs slightly, but doesn't wake up. I shake him some more, and he opens his eyes, looking at me.

"I know...", he says.
"Huh?" I look at him dumbfounded.
"She hit me, but it's all right", he tries to stand up, but his head won't let him obviously," It's not supposed to hurt", he complains, more to himself.
"Yamato, you were hit with a metal bar", I begin," It's a miracle you can still remember where you are, and who you are".
"Jeanne never hit people with hard things", he looks to me strangely.
"You weren't exactly hit by Jeanne. She's not here yet".

Eventually he stands up, firmly on his feet. And reassures us that he's alright. I'm not so sure, but if he insists. However I order Akita to go outside and help Fuyuta, this way I'm avoiding unwanted accidents, well part of them. I slowly make my way up, to where the painting is, wondering what has happened to everyone. Just as I reach the top floor, Jeanne jumps inside and stops looking at me.

"Hei", I say silently," Here to extract the daemon?"
"Yep", she nods happily.

It's odd to know that she's not really a thief, but I still have to pretend to be trying to catch her.

"What did you do with the warning", I eye her, carefully.
"Oh that? Access, accidentally poured some magical powder on it", she shrugs," Consequences?"
"Everyone, including dad and Subaru are crazy about you", I state casually.
"Me? They're supposed to be crazy about Finn", she stops looking at me, tilting her head to the side.
"I don't really think they know Finn", I comment.
"Hmmm", she looks to the picture thoughtfully, as it begins to move slightly," Sinbad", she whispers, then smiles," There is a substance, which makes people fall in love with someone, do the right things to please the loved one. Chiaki wanted some of those, and they were especially made for him. So they'd have effect with me", she giggles slightly," If people not in love with me, smell it, become crazy with me... or at least with the part of me, the powder is related to".
"So? What now?"
"Sinbad brought the antidote, and he'll spread it on them, don't worry", she smiles.

Slowly she approaches the painting, indicating for me to step aside. I do so, and she materialises her ribbon lifting it above her head.

"Checkmate!" she shouts, then smiles at me smugly," I won", she whispers.
"JEANNE! Stop right there!", I still wonder why she'd stop now, when she didn't stop earlier, but it's just the way it has to be.

We dash down the stairs. She laughs and I scream at her frantically to stop. I'm really starting to feel stupid, I know I have to act, and that others won't know, but still. As we reach the floor under us, where Yamato was, I can see him jump at Jeanne.

"I'll get you. I'll make you mine!" he screams.

If I remember well, he smelled the warning too, so no wonder he's at this too. I sigh exasperated. I've really had enough of this. Yamato jumps at her, obviously trying to pin her to the ground. Now if she subsides to him, I'm going to enter a monastery... really. Lucky me, she easily dodges him, jumping on him, flipping in the process elegantly. He stares dumbfounded after her.

"Try harder", she teases, leaping to the windows, startling Yamato.
"This can't be! I caught you last night!" he says loudly.
"And you were dreaming", she smiles insolently.
"Hei, how do you know?" he frowns at her, but she just laughs.

Instead he's grabbed by Sinbad who says mysteriously, while pouring something onto him," Just a premonition", and jumps up to Jeanne, laughing.

Yamato stops, and turns to me, looking as if he had made the most terrible mistake in his life.

"Gomen ne", he says.
"Forgiven", I smile.

* * * *

I decide I still have to wait for the two, and have a talk. Even though I know that we'll probably be late, *again*, and that they didn't intend on doing this, but.... Ah, there they come!

"Ohayo, you two", I greet them wryly.
"Ohayo Miyako-chan", Maron greets me brightly.
"Ohayo", Chiaki replies as well.
"I think we have to have a little *chat*", I eye them, waiting for their responses.
"Chiaki's not allowed to use the powder, anymore", Maron reassures me," At least not while Access is his guardian angel... so not ever".
"Eh, that's for liking him too much", he adds faking a frown.

I can't help but smile. He really is something special. Does he even know that Yamato had tried to ask me out last night? I think I'll hold that for me... maybe I'll tell Maron later.

"Do you know what it is like, not to find a sane person near you?" I ask remembering why I've waited for them in the first place.
"Well...", he starts.
"Don't even say it!" I hold out a hand," I think I went mad for a short period of time", I quickly add, on seeing their curious gazes on me.
"Excuse *me*, but how did this happen?" Chiaki chuckles, not really believing me.
"I stopped in the middle of the street when the lamp tuned red", I reply, thoughtfully," I thought I was dreaming".

I'm so submerged in my thoughts, I don't see them stop, so only when I feel a hand on my shoulder do I stop, and look at them.

"Miyako, I think you should really stop working at the police for a while. It's damaging to your health", Maron suggests worried.
"If you would have been in my shoes yesterday, you would've done the same thing".
"Why?"
"Everyone dreaming of having sex with Jeanne... expressing their dreams in aesthetic euphemisms...", I trail off.
"Sounds good to me... Oww. Okay, okay", Chiaki's obviously elbowed by Maron.

He will never change... But why should he? She likes him just the way he is... Even though she denies it.

End of chapter 3

*So? How was it? I know I made some character very much OOC, but eh... that's one of my hobbies. It's more interesting this way. I know, most of you wanted a Yamato POV. He'll come too, don't worry. Well, till then, write me a review. Okay?? Please????!!!
