Chapter Eighteen
Kirakishou sat within her little shack, on the small bed she made. She was watching the small mirror that hung on her wall across the bed. Within the mirror, she saw Suigintou fast asleep beside Megu. Her eyes narrowed, fists were clenched tightly. Just who in their right mind would want to break those two apart? Kira, that’s who, she couldn’t help being so rotten and evil, for she too was left behind unfinished by her Father.
What pissed her off is Gin was finished completely, and given HER Mystica. Kira was just jealous, that the first Daughter, who had struggled her way to find Rozen, and through it all, she has most likely earned Rozen’s love after all.
Kirakishou on the other hand, has not yet achieved her Father’s love, and probably won’t. Her main goal now, was to have Suigintou at her side...and in her arms instead of Megu’s. Another twisted smile slides across her lips as she stood up, and walked to the mirror. Her hand slowly slides over Megu’s cheek.
“Megu-chan. Dear sweet, Sickly Megu-chan.. I will take Gin off your hands. You won’t have to worry about taking her home with you cutie. Maybe you’ll die of a broken heart at home.....”
She giggled darkly as she watched the two asleep so nicely beside one another. She figured it’d be hard to take control of Gin without Megu noticing, but then, she had control of Shaina for a while before anyone knew what was going on. Hopping up through the mirror she enters Megu’s room and hovers at the foot of the bed.
She moves to sit beside Gin, and closes her eyes as she becomes translucent and phases into Suigintou’s body slowly. Her plan would move ahead one more step.
“I’m inside Onee-sama....she feels so wonderful....” Kira says quietly to her self
Gin stirs and felt a little warmer as she lay curled up beside Megu. Kira may have thought this was an evil idea, but it did more good to Suigintou then harm. Gin’s mystica was absorbing Kira’s spirit slowly already. The first doll began to glow, just like she did when she stole Souseiseki’s mystica during the Alice game. In turn Megu’s ring began to glow softly, transferring some energy to her instead. Kira was not aware of this at all, she was too busy gloating about how good it felt to be inside her sister.
“Mmm....Megu..” Gin opens her eyes and looks to see Megu’s ring glowing.
“What’s this?” She leans over and inspects Megu’s ring, holding her hand lightly. She didn’t think anything of it really, it just caught her attention. Closing her eyes she lays back down, her head on her medium’s shoulder.
“This feeling, it’s so warm. Could this be the love she has for that damned girl?” Kira could indeed feel that love Gin felt for Megu, it was just as strong as for her Father. But Megu’s love was much, much different.
“Onee-sama...”
Kira suddenly felt.....bad for what she has done. That pure love could be felt deep within Kira. She really had no idea how much Suigintou cared for Megu. Kira closed her eyes and she received images of things that have happened to Gin and Megu. These were Gin’s memories! She saw things like, when Megu is happy, her smile seems to brighten everything, or when Megu is sick, she felt that deep concern Suigintou has.
Now Kira was actually starting to have second thoughts about taking Gin away from this girl. She hears a voice in the back of her own mind now as she closes her eyes again.
“Now you know. Will you still torture her? Or will you stay within your dearest Suigintou-sama, to keep her heart company?”
“Who are you?...” Kira said, with a shaky voice.
It wasn’t Father, or was it? It sounded more like Laplace. In fact it was. He appears before her in Suigintou’s dreamscape and tips his hat.
Gin could see him appear, and looked beside her self, seeing Kira standing there.
“Laplace! What are you doing in my dreamscape?” Gin’s wings rose, as if ready to attack.
He had come also to apologize for something.
“I have come, for a number of reasons dearest Suigintou-sama. One: for giving you that terrible nightmare. Two: to ask of you something. Please take care of your Medium, and your youngest sibling.
She narrows her eyes and attempted to leap at him with her sword clenched in her hands tightly.
“HOW DARE YOU!!!....IT WAS YOU THAT MADE ME THINK ME THINK MEGU WAS DEAD!!!!”
Laplace simply side stepped her attack, and nearly had an ear clipped off in the process. Kira stood and watched. As much as she hated Megu, it was her love for Suigintou, and her hate to see her dear eldest sister so upset.
Laplace huffed a bit and managed to calm Suigintou down. “Now my child, I did not mean for it to be so heartbreaking for you. It was merely a glimpse into what might happen!”
“I don’t care....You should never meddle with the hearts and minds of others!” She hissed through clenched teeth.
“Onee-sama....do you really love her that much?” Kira butted in.
“This does not concern you!! And why are you here as well? Go dig a grave and lie in it already!!!”
Her pupils became slits, and cat-like once more as she turned to Kira, her immense anger and hatred growing.
“Suigintou-sama. I’d advise you not to attack her here. She is a part of you now...if she dies....you will also die. You two share a mystica.”
Gin gave him a half lidded evil glare as her wings change shape to twice their size and lunge at him at the same time. Her wings had wrapped around him tightly, but only to find he had evaded her attack and re-appears beside her.
“All she wanted was to be with you. Two Kirakishou’s adore you Suigintou. This one, more so then the sweet one you have come to cherish.”
“Then she can go back to her own body, and leave mine alone” She looked away quickly from the two of them.
“Onee-sama....I want to be close to you. I can get over my hate for that girl...I want to feel what you feel.. See what you see....just be with you. Why can’t you understand that?”
“Because I love Megu, that’s why. There is only room for her love within me. Love for her, and Father. No one else may share my love!!” She tried to hold back her tears, as she felt Kira hold her. It was the same kind of embrace the sweet Kira had. When she tried to pull away, she simply found herself crying on Kira’s shoulder.
“Only Megu and Father......but why can I not pull away from you?” Gin was torn on what to do.
“If she stays within you Suigintou, you are one step closer to becoming Alice, and meeting Father. Laplace added that, and he knew how much Gin wishes to meet Father and make him proud of her.
“...If it is one step closer to Father....then I have no choice of accepting her...but one false move....and I will resort to harsher methods of extracting her.”
Gin says with a more serious tone, gripping Kira’s shoulders tightly. All Kira heard was that her Onee-sama had accepted her. She didn’t mind the tight hold on her shoulders. The white dressed doll held Suigintou in a loving embrace. Before long Suigintou awakens with a startle and looks to the sleeping Megu.
“Oh Megu......”
She gazes at the sleeping girl for quite some time, a hand stroking her cheek softly. Kira could feel just how soft Megu’s skin was as Gin stroked the girl’s cheek. Her disgust for the girl faded slightly at the moment. The thought that Laplace had tinkered with her dreams and made her think that Megu was dead, well that angered her even more then having Kira inside of her body. Her arms slide around her medium’s left arm tightly.
“He made me have that dream....could she really have died? No I don’t want to think about it!..” Gin shook her head and buries her face against Megu’s shoulder.
“Onee-sama...I know I’m the last doll you want to talk to....but it was just a dream...she’s alright now I suppose” Kira says from within the back of Gin’s head. She was trying to console her sister from within.
“You just stay quiet. If I have to share my body with you...I do not want you to speak to me” Gin snapped coldly.
“But Onee-sama....if it’s what Onee-sama wants....I won’t say anything”
Kira sounded like her feelings were hurt. But how can a doll that hates everything Gin loves...have feelings? Easy...she loves her Suigintou so much, she didn’t think Gin would snap at her.
Megu had started to wake up slowly, feeling Suigintou clinging to her in such a manner. Her deep brown eyes look down to Gin and wonder if she was alright.
“Gin? Are you okay? You look as if you’ve been crying” Megu’s gentle fingers wipe away the tears from Gin’s cheeks. Suigintou had cried herself back to sleep. Seemed she was so upset with having to deal with Kira within herself, and her concern for Megu, she just broke down and wept.
“Awww..I wonder what made her cry herself to sleep.” Megu held Gin in her lap, kissing the top of her head once as she held her.
“She does feel cozy, even if she is just a stupid human....she feels like Ari-san” Kira says to herself.
The Kira that had her own body was sitting on the couch with her two step sisters, Bara and Shaina that morning after breakfast. Ari had gone off for another job interview, just a part time thing once or twice a week. The three were still talking about their party last night at Jun-kun’s. Kira was grinning ear to ear about finally getting Suigintou to like her.
“Looks like the Rozen Maidens are finally able to get along together” Bara said as she leans on Kira.
“Yeah, I love my sisters very much, and my step sisters just as much!” Kira giggled and kissed Bara’s forehead softly.
“I’m still learning about you guys, but...I really do like those sisters of your’s, That little Hina Ichigo is a great sweet heart!” Shaina giggled, she seemed to have taken a liking to the sixth doll.
The three were relaxing when there was a knock on the door. Now Ari had always told them, never to answer the door when she wasn’t home. Bara slides down from the couch and hovered in mid air up to see through the peephole just who it was. She narrows her eyes when she didn’t recognize the person that was standing at the door. It was a young man. A little older then Jun. maybe around Nori’s age..perhaps a year older or so then her.
“Hey Ari? Are you home? Are you up yet at all? “ The young man was handsome though, short dark hair, blue eyes, medium build.
Bara peered through the peephole and blushed seeing the young man standing there. He focuses his eyes, and could’ve sworn he saw one icey blue eye staring back at him.
“I guess she left for work already...” He took a piece of paper from his pocket and wrote a note and stuck it to the door. The note read:
“Sorry I missed you; you must’ve left for work. I’ll call you later about my project.”
Catch you later
Rein
He shrugged and walked back down Ari’s walkway and down the street again.
“Who was it Bara?” Kira asked.
“I don’t know...he was cute whoever he was” Bara blushed as she hovers back down to the floor.
“Hmm..didn’t Ari say she was waiting for a friend of her’s to come today?” Shay asked.
“Oh...maybe we should’ve let him in?” Kira bit her lower lip a little.
“Yeah but...Ari-san told us not to let anyone in....remember?” Bara was still blushing about the young man she saw at the door. She may have been a doll..but she was still very much a girl.
That same young man was walking down the street and right to the shop where Souiseiseki’s Granparent’s live with her. Rein opened the door and smiled to the elderly man.
“Grandpa! I didn’t think you were open so early!” The young man walked in and walked to his Grandfather. This was their true Grandchild. Rein had come to stay with them for the time being as he goes to the nearest college.
“Oh yes Rein. Got to get the customers watches fixed on time” The elderly man chuckled a bit to him self, and spotted out of the corner of his eye, Sousei, who Rein hasn’t seen yet. Rein’s been here a few days already. His Grandfather wouldn’t know how Rein would react if he saw Sousei.
“Well Grandpa I’ve got some stuff to do, get a few things done before my class later today...If the phone ring’s It might be for me. Just let me know if it is okay?”
His Grandfather nodded. “Grandma won’t be back from grocery shopping for a little while; can you give her hand when she returns?”
“Yeah sure Grandpa!” Rein turns and heads up to the spare room where he’s been staying and shut the door. He opens his lap top and started it up. As he waited he set it up on the small table and took a seat. Downstairs in the shop, Sousei snuck in and hopped up on the table and sat beside her Grandpa.
“So he’s your Grandson....I want to meet him Grandpa....” She says with a blush, setting her hat down.
“Not yet my dear, I still don’t know how he’d react to seeing you” He’d pat her head lightly. He knew she was disappointed, but tried to keep her from getting so down.
“I know Grandpa. But still..I don’t think he’d be any different from you” She smiled and leans against him gently.
“You may have a point Sou-chan...You may have a point.”
Upstairs Rein was looking up some information on the internet. He was taking up photography in school, plus a strange history class. A doll history class! He was doing research on the Rozen Maidens for a paper he was writing about them.
“Hmm...No one’s seen any of them since the late 1900’s but yet sightings early this year have been recorded...” He read out loud to himself. His findings brought him to a page with artist sketches of what the dolls might have looked like. He found one of Suigintou, that was done during the second world war by a british soilder that claimed to have seen the dark dressed...winged doll.
“Oh man she’s creepy...those wings...she looks like an Angel of death” Rein shuddered a little. “What was that Rozen guy thinking when he made that!!”
He came to a series of images about the twins. He stopped on a few images of Souseiseki. “Hey...she’s kinda cute..so’s that twin of hers...big change from that Angel of death...”
He couldn’t get the image of Gin from his mind. When he read the twin’s names to himself he couldn’t help but smile.
“Suiseiseki...and Souseiseki. Now those are cute names...Suigintou sounds...like she’s evil...”
He studied Souseiseki’s images for quite some time. As he studied and worked on his paper, Sousei had peeked into his room, watching him a moment. A deep blush slides across her cheeks as she watched him work. Sure she liked Jun, but Rein was older, and more mature as well.
“Hmm...says here,The gardener twins are never apart for long periods of time. The third sister is protective of her younger twin, Aww that’s kinda sweet”
He says as he scrolls through the descriptions to himself. He turns in his seat a little and spots what he thought was a little boy standing in the door way. When he really got a good look, who or whatever it was had been gone.
“Whew...that was close. But what if he did see me?”
Sousei said to herself as she leans against the wall. She peeked in again to see what he was doing. She stepped inside the room and tiptoed up to the bed and peeked up and over the side. She watched him for quite some time. At least an hour or so, until she heard the phone ring, and ducked under the bed as Rein got up to answer it.
“Hello? Oh hey Ari-san. Yeah I came by earlier...oh you were on another job interview?” He talked with Ari for at least ten minutes before he hung up. “Yeah okay I’ll be over in oh..twenty minutes? Is that okay?” After he hung up, he started packing his things up and getting ready to head out.
“He know’s Ari-san? Then he must be alright then” Sousei says with a blush as she peeked out from under the bed.
Rein looked around and felt like he was being watched. Shaking his head he fixed his hair, and headed down stairs and into the kitchen where he helped his Grandmother before kissing her cheek and heading off to Arianna’s.
Sousei had found his lap top, and peeked at what he was writing about. Now she wasn’t much for the internet like her twin, but knew how to work a laptop. As she read to herself, she found this young man’s knowledge of her and her sisters to be amazing.
“He knows so much about us...I really want to meet with him now...” Sousei blushed. She hadn’t felt like this before, She enjoyed it!
Rein was heading to see Arianna. He had wanted to meet with her on account that she had some important information about the Rozen Maidens that she wanted to share with him. Before he arrived, Ari was briefing her girls about him coming.
“Alright girls..I want you to stay down in the den until I tell you guys you can come back up, okay? It’s not that I don’t want you to meet him...it’s more of what might happen if he meets you. He knows about the Rozen Maidens and all but, there’s no telling what might happen if he actually sees a living doll.”
Ari shooed the girls down into the den, there was a tv, comfy furniture and a fridge with snacks and drinks down there for them. All the girls went down willingly and quietly.
“But what if he’s cute Ari?...I want to meet a cute boy” Shaina says with a grin.
“You little flirt” Ari patted her head and sent her down with the others quickly just as the door bell rang.
Running to answer it, she opens the door and smiles to see the young Rein standing there with his books on magical dolls. Leading him in, they head to the living room and sit down. One thing Ari forgot though, the girls left a few of their things lying around. “Oh Shit....” she says to herself as she stuffed the doll sized items under the couch.
“I’m glad you could give me a hand with this paper Ari. I know a few things about magical dolls...but I didn’t know you did too!” Rein said as he sat down.
“Well with making a doll or two of my own, I had always wondered how those living dolls were created”
She forgot to mention to him that she had completely re-built Barasuishou, and made Shaina from scratch.
“Wow you never told me you made two of your own! Can I see’em?” He set his things down and looked to her.
“Well..alright, let me go get them, The den downstairs is a holy mess...” She got up and headed downstairs to the den where her girls were watching a movie.
“Ari? Is he gone already? Sheesh, that was quick.” Shaina said with a light chuckle.
“No...but he wants to see you...I had told him I made two dolls...Kira you stay here for a little while. When I take you two up there just uh,,...pretend you’re one of those dolls that blink their eyes with they’re laid down!”
“Well okay” Bara said, practicing as she leans her head back.
“Good enough” Ari gathered Bara and Shaina and carried them upstairs. Once she got back into the living room, she carries a girl on each arm and says to Rein as she sat down.
“Well here they are. My girls I made.” She set them down on the couch.
“Hey they’re cute; this little one with the blue eyes is adorable. What are their names? Or didn’t you give them names?”
The little blue eyed cutie is Barasuishou, and this one is Shaina.” Ari says as she stroked their hair.
Rein picked up Bara and held her in his lap. He was surprised at how soft she felt. His hands were holding her around her little waist. His thumbs were sliding up and down the fabric of her lavender dress and just under her breasts. As he does this she blushed a little, he didn’t noticed that.
“Wow she feels so real, what body type did you use for her? Those newer ones that have a soft feel to them? Cause they’re expensive!”
Ari held Shay in her lap and fluffed her hair. “They weren’t that pricey. I’m pretty close with the doll shop owner and she gets me discounts ‘cause I’m always in there” She laughs a bit, hands rubbing Shay’s sides lightly.
When Rein and squeezed Bara’s middle gently however, he heard a little giggle sound and felt her move. Bara was very ticklish in her mid section. Hearing that, he set her down and looked to Ari with wide eyes before he says with a shakey voice.
“Uh.....Did she just giggle?” He blinked a little and looked back up to Bara who had such a cute blush on her cheeks.
“Now before you...flip out.....” She tried to keep him calm.
“She’s one of those Rozen dolls isn’t she?” He got excited and picked Bara up, poking her in her side and lifting her arms and legs as he does that she yelped a little!
“Hey come on now! I’m not poking you!” She hopped out of his arms and over by Ari, hiding behind her beloved master.
“Well no...she’s not....I might as well tell you..” Ari said leaning back and kissing Bara’s forehead.
“What about her...Shaina.” He held Shay’s cute little hand a moment before she drew her hand back.
“Shaina is my own creation. I modeled her after a childhood friend of mine that had died recently. As for Barasuishou, she was created by someone else, but she was nearly destroyed. So I rebuilt her. I love these two very much, and the third one that lives here”
Ari said as she spotted Kira peeking around the corner. She nodded and waved Kirakishou over. “And this is the seventh Rozen Maiden doll. Kirakishou”
Kira curtsied cutely and looked up, before she spoke. “It’s very nice to meet you....” Her cheeks were blushing deeply.
Rein took this all in as best he could. Picking Kira up gently he set her down on the couch between him self and Ari. He studied her intently, looking at every detail, from the little roses that were clipped in her hair, to the soft fabric of her white dress.
“Oh man..my professor is gonna flip when she sees these guys!” He kept a hand atop Kira’s head gently.
“You can’t tell anyone Rein, you have to promise me. If you do, the world will want to know how these little ladies were made...and that might mean...take them apart” Ari held Shay and Bara close.
“I can’t loose them; these girls are like my own daughters....I hope you understand Rein.” She said, looking back to him.
“I promise Arianna. Besides, I really don’t think anyone would believe us if we told them anyway! Where are the others? Are they all in one place? The first doll Suigintou...I think her name is...what about that one?”
“Gin-chan lives with her medium at the hospital” Bara chimed in cheerfully.
“Gin-chan? Oh man, so the Angel of death is real! I hate to be the poor slob that found her...no wonder they’re in the hospital”
Ari became grim and looked away a moment before she said a little coldly. “Megu...is not some poor slob. She cares about Suigintou.”
“Wait Megu?...as Megu Kakazaki? I know her...I used to live next door to her when I was growing up...I thought she died a few years ago..’cause of her heart problem...”
“You grew up next door to her?” Ari didn’t know Megu had friends when she was little.
“Yeah...I was the only friend she had. When her parents put her in the hospital when she was six, I thought I’d never see her again...Now I know she’s alright I can visit her...i hope she remembers me”
Ari put a hand on his shoulder and smiled. “A girl never forgets her first friend. Just be careful of Suigintou though, she’s very sweet, but VERY protective of Megu”
Ari’s girls nod and giggle. They had a feeling he’d get a butt whooping for coming to see Megu.
His visit with Ari was coming to an end and by the time he left, he got the story behind the Alice Game, and what had happened to Bara. Before he left he shook each of the doll’s hands and still couldn’t believe that living dolls were real.
“It was a pleasure meeting you wonderful little ladies” He said as he received a hug from each.
All the girls were too shy still so they said a quick goodbye before he headed off to the hospital to see Megu. Once he got there and found where Megu was, he peeks inside her room, hearing her soft song. Megu was sitting up and relaxing a bit, didn’t look like Suigintou was there at the moment. When he walks in she turns to look to see who it was.
“Oh hi” She says shyly.
“It’s been a long time Megu-chan. I didn’t think I’d see you again”
He came to the edge of her bed and sat down. Once he got a closer look, he couldn’t take his eyes off of this beauty that lay before him. He saw those deep brown eyes and smiled. Hoping she’d remember him, he set down a small basket of flowers and a little teddy bear for her.
“Do...i know you?’ She bit her lower lip, trying to remember this handsome young man. It was his eyes however. “Rein? Is that you? Oh my...it’s been like forever!”
She threw her arms around him tightly, as she hugged him; he returns the hug and held it tight.
“Yeah it’s me. I got word that you’ve been doing alright lately, and I wanted to come and see for myself. I’m really sorry for not keeping in touch”
“It’s alright, not many people would remember me anyway, and wow you’ve changed a lot! You’re so tall nowand handsome too.” She giggles and blushed a bit.
“And you really changed too Megu, God you’re gorgeous now” He said with a slight flush of his cheeks, holding her right cheek gently.
Megu blushed even deeper and rested her head against his hand. Something pounded away in her chest; this was a different feeling then what she gets when Gin’s around. She was still very much a boy crazy young lady. Looking to him she smiled brightly.
“It’s been too long Rein. We were what six? When we saw each other last? “
She chuckles a bit as she looks back up to him; oh she had such a crush on him when she was little. Seeing him all grown up wasn’t helping. He was two years older then she was. When she last saw him he was eight and she was six. Now that she’s seventeen and he’s probably eighteen, her teenaged mind was racing.
“Yeah you were such a cute little six year old that really grew up into a beautiful woman...I mean it Megu...Damn I missed you...”
He held her hand and kissed it softly, and noticed that rose ring. Remembering what Ari said about contracts and mediums. He set Megu’s hand down on her lap and looked nervous.
“Something wrong Rein-kun? You look like you’ve seen a ghost! I may be sick but I’m not dead yet” She chuckles again. “All thanks to my Angel”
“Your Angel?” He leans his head a little to the side.
“Yes, she’s helped me get better the last few months” Held her hand over her heart and smiles. “I love her very much”
“Well that’s good, you’ve gotten better lately anyway” He felt a kiss to his cheek then.
He smiles and slid his arms around Megu firmly. He hadn’t been this close to her since the last time he saw her. Kissing her forehead before closing his eyes and sighed a little. Just seeing her again, and seeing her so grown up, he felt something in his heart for her. Could it be the start of love? He looked down to her and held her by her shoulders a moment.
“Megu, I promise I’ll make sure you get better. I’d do anything for you. Never forget that.”
He’d stroke her hair and look back into her eyes again. He didn’t notice the small winged doll at the window, watching them as he held Megu close.
“Oh Rein. Do you mean it? That really means a lot to me”
She tears up and leans up to kiss him softly. Her hands holding either side of his face as she kisses him. Her emotions had gotten the better of her, mostly from missing him so much, and the fact that he was so handsome now. The kiss got a little deeper between the two of them. Suigintou saw this and narrowed her eyes as tears formed and fell. The only thing the two heard was a small flapping sound and feathers falling to the floor, turning black once more. The kiss was held for another moment before Rein pulled back and brushed Megu’s hair from her eyes.
“Damn...well that felt good...” He chuckles and stood.
“Well I better get going. I’ve got some stuff to finish before my class later this after noon” He wrote on a nearby note pad his cell phone and home phone number.
“Here, call me if you need anything okay” Megu nodded and smiled. “I will Rein...and thank you again for coming...I missed you...”
After he left, Megu leans back and smiles brightly, her heart pounding so hard in her chest, it was that good pounding she felt when ever Gin’s around.
“Oh no...Gin...” Megu bit her lower lip and looked to the floor, seeing those black feathers laying there.
Suigintou was sitting up on the roof of the hospital looking out over the city. The flowers she had gotten from Jun to give to Megu were destroyed at her feet. Tears of both sadness and anger fell from her eyes. Her cries soon grew louder, she felt as if her mystica was burning a hole through her chest. From the back of her mind she heard:
“Aww aint that a shame Onee-sama? That girl doesn’t love you after all...I guess she was lying to you when she said she did” Kira giggled with wicked delight, loving this.
“SHUT THE HELL UP!! Megu loves me....I know Megu still loves me....”
“Sure didn’t look like it to me...looked like she was giving that handsome boy a little treatment of her own”
Suigintou’s screams could be heard from within Megu’s room. To which Megu shuddered a bit, feeling lower then dirt right now for what she’s done. Gin flew off the rooftop and flew over head, following Rein. She had this look of pure hatred in her eyes for him. He looks up and saw what he thought was just a crow flying over head. He felt a sharp pain in his arm as he looks to see small fingernails digging into his skin through his t-shirt!
“What the hell? Let me go!!” He tried to shake her off of him as best he could.
“TAKING MEGU AWAY FROM ME? I’LL MAKE SURE SHE NEVER HAS YOU!” She was gripping his arm so tightly, she was drawing blood. It wasn’t just her jealousy causing her to snap.....it was Kira within her as well....
Kira laughed with evil delight again as Gin flipped out on this poor young man. She actually picked him up a bit and dropped him on his injured arm, and hovered over him with her sword drawn. Next thing she knew she was knocked out of the sky by none other then Souseiseki!
“Leave him alone Suigintou!! I knew we couldn’t trust you!!” Sousei wielded her shears, hovering just above Rein to protect him.
“Stand aside Souseiseki...this doesn’t concern you!!! He’s going to take Megu away from me!!” She says through her tears.
“Attacking someone in a jealous fit isn’t going to help matters Suigintou....” Sousei lands beside Rein and stabbed her shears into the ground as she inspected his arm.
“Come on..lets get you home...”
Rein stood and held his arm and glared up to Suigintou. “You are the Angel of death! I knew it! Megu doesn’t need a psycho in her life...” He stumbles into the house with Sousei, as she pointed her shears at her sister.
“You’ve lost my trust Suigintou....this just proves you’re insane”
Gin picked up her sword and glanced back to the home and shook her head. She lowered her head and fell to her knees, cursing out loud as she cries out her mediums name into the sky.
“It’s not him you should be mad at Onee-sama...it’s that cheating bitch of a medium...” Kira was putting ideas into Gin’s mind once again.
Suigintou wouldn’t believe her crazed sister. As she flew back to Megu’s window, she saw the girl sitting up taking a sip of juice. Her eyes narrowed as she lands on the sill, with sword drawn.
“Yes! That’s it Onee-sama! Kill her!! I’d never cheat on you...Only I have the purest love for you...not that worthless human.”
Kira egged Suigintou’s anger even further now. She took control and made Gin fly to the bed and land at Megu’s feet.
“Suigintou...I’m sorry...Rein’s my first childhood friend...only friend I ever had before my parents put me here...I was just so happy to see him again. Gin...Gin your eyes are scaring me.....”
“You lied to me Megu.....You said it would always be just us....YOU LIED TO ME YOU BITCH! And.....then you go and kiss him......YOU KISSED HIM... I HATE YOU MEGU!!!
Gin was too far gone into her anger now, plus with Kira taking over, there was no telling what might happen! Her blade of her sword was pointed at Megu’s heart, with one move it would be all over. Megu’s eyes were filled with tears before she closed them and looked away from Suigintou.
“I see....then end my life...you’d only be doing me a favor...Since my heart is broken....not because I’m sick.......but because of what you’ve said to me. Just one thing though....I do love you Suigintou, no one could ever replace you....my Angel.”
Suigintou tossed the sword to the side and flew out the window in a hurry, not looking back to what might have happened in there. She cursed under her breath for what she said. Holding her hand over her mystica she stops in mid air and looked around. She didn’t know what to do now that it might really be over between herself and Megu. Poor Megu though, she burst into tears, crying into her pillow after Gin left. It was Gin’s hateful words that really hurt her.
“Suigintou.......why?.....”
You guys get to read chapter 18 before anyone else!! I'm 6 pages into 19 at the moment!
I've read through the first six chapters of your fanfic, Megu-Chan (aka Evil-Poptart) and let me give you my review so far:
I think that the fake-out you did in the first chapter was a very clever idea, as I said to myself, "This doesn't seem right..." However, after the first chapter I didn't find there to be very much of a shift in tone to make that first fake-out as poignant. Suiseiseki's anger towards Suigintou was well-done, and the scenes of her doting over Souseiseki and Hina Ichigo were heartfelt. I think you could have done a better job of writing for character (the characters tend to blend together in terms of personality, speech, and physical mannerisms.) I will keep reading, though.

Spoiler:
Chapter Nineteen
“Why Suigintou? What could’ve made you snap?”
Megu says to herself as she lies down in bed, crying her heart out. She’s cried too much lately, and can’t take the stress. The poor girl started to have a major attack in her stressful moment. As she has her attack, Suigintou had come back and watches Megu struggle to stay alive. She didn’t know what to do, if she should leave...or sit with Megu.
“Just let me die Suigintou.....” Megu says as she gasps for her breaths.
Gin just stood there, tears flowing down her cheeks. She was frozen with fear that Megu might die, and she can’t help her. Swooping over to Megu’s side Gin lies down beside her struggling medium. Holding her arm close to her little body, Gin clutched Megu as tight as she could.
“Just go away! You’ve done enough damage Suigintou!!” Megu tried to pry Gin off of her. When Gin fell to the floor she had this sad look like a lost puppy and gripped Megu’s hand, nuzzling her cheek against it.
“Megu.......please don’t....I’m sorry...I was just....”
She felt Megu’s hand become limp in hers. Looking up she didn’t seem to be moving, or breathing. She climbs back up on the bed and sat at Megu’s chest, gripping her shoulders.
“Megu?...oh God no...MEGU!! You...you can’t....oh Megu no please don’t.....don’t leave me!!!”
She shook the girl a bit. Megu had actually been holding her breath, wanting to see what Suigintou does, if she really does care, she’d wake up. She felt Gin shaking her to wake her up, and felt Gin’s tears on her cheeks. When Gin was giving her CPR, that’s what got her thinking, it was mostly Gin’s lips on her own that did it. Gin had watched one of the nurses do this once or twice before, she’s a faster learner.
“Please Megu!!....Don’t leave me!! I’m sorry!! I don’t hate you.....I don’t hate you....I love you Megu!!........I love you so much.....”
Gin had rested her head just above Megu’s breasts and cried hard. Gin soon felt Megu’s chest rising and falling, and her heart beat pounding again and arms around her tightly. “Oh Megu....you’re okay...”
The girl caught her breath and sat up. She was still sore at what Gin said before, but now that she knew Gin just saved her life again...she held onto that doll so tightly. Suigintou looked up as she held either side of Megu’s face firmly.
“Don’t....do that ever again”
Megu looked away a little and let go of Suigintou a moment. “Gin...we’ve been through this before, now I’m not sure if I want to keep this contract....if you keep flipping out. Why do you keep flipping out anyway?”
Gin looked way as well, and sighed. “Kirakishou is within me....she’s making me do these things....you know I’d never say anything or do anything to harm you Megu.”
“How can I really trust you though? I know you love me but, if you keep going crazy, I’m going to have to ask you to cancel the contract for good.”
Gin’s eyes went wide as she heard Megu say that. She held Megu’s hand and looked up into her eyes. Gin’s eyes had gone back to the warm caring look once more. Her small hand held her mediums hand tightly, and kisses her palms. Inside of Gin, Kira felt a twinge and realized finally and sighed to herself. She knew what she had to do. It was Kira’s decision to leave Gins body.
They saw a light pink light escape Gin’s body and it took the shape of Kira, and then vanished. Megu looked to Gin and held her tightly after that. Pulling back, she looked down to Suigintou, her thumb comes up and wipes away Gin’s tears, and just holds her so close against her chest once more.
“She was inside of you then...Oh god Gin...I...I didn’t believe you...”
“I’ll always love you though Onee-sama. .I’ll go back to my own body...you’ve shown me that...love is stronger then anything else...”
Kira returned to her N-field and sat down in her shack and cried. For the first time she just cried...mostly since she has failed..and figured out how much Megu meant to Gin.
Souseiseki had helped Rein up the steps and into his room. He sat down on the bed as Sousei gathered the first aide kit from the bathroom. When she came back in he was wincing a bit and watching the small tomboy doll walk towards him, then sits beside him on the bed to tend to his arm.
“She’s been crazy lately...but then again Suigintou has always been a little...different.” Sousei says a she wrapped his arm.
“I....want to thank you for saving me out there....damn she’s scary” He winced as Sousei applies a little rubbing alcohol to clean his wound.
“So what’s your name?” He asks, wondering if this was one of those Rozen dolls.
“Souseiseki, the fourth Rozen Maiden” She says proudly.
“I’m Rein and thanks again Souseiseki.....that’s a nice name.” He said looking to her small fingers as they gently worked on him.
“Thank you” She had blushed a bit. Her Green and Red eyes look up to him a moment, well her blush was even deeper then.
“So you’re the second Gardener twin...just as cute as your older twin. I was reading about you and your sisters earlier...but..how’d you know this is where I lived?” He was a little confused.
“Grandma and Grandpa take care of me until I can find a true medium” She says softly.
“Iv’e been here two weeks..how is it I haven’t seen you?” He was even more confused now.
“I’ve been hiding out in Grandma’s room where I sleep in my case”
“Oh that’s right..Rozen Maidens have cases they sleep in...So that’s what that thing was”
He chuckles a little. He was starting to like little Souseiseki, even though she wasn’t as tall as Megu..or have long dark hair..he still thought the tomboy doll was a cutie. The two were chatting like old friends in
no time though. Rein was sitting at his small desk, showing Sousei all sorts of different internet sites just about the Rozen Maidens. He noticed how interested Sousei was and that made him smile.
“So what are your other sisters like? Besides the nutty Suigintou that flies into jealous fits..” He rubbed his arm.
“They are all so kind. The fifth sister, Shinku, she’s like the princess of the group, she can be very bossy, and stuck up at times, but when she is with her medium, she has this smile that I haven’t seen in a very long time. The sixth sister, Hina Ichigo, well she’s just a little kid at heart, my twin Suiseiseki is always picking on her. My second sister Kanaria thinks she’s a genius or something though her medium is just..weird...And the Seventh sister..well..” She paused a moment.
“I met the seventh sister at my friend’s home earlier today. Kirakishou right?” He says as he picked Sousei up and set her on the bed.
“Yes that’s her. All of us didn’t even know if she was real until after we met her. So you know Ari-san? Isn’t she awesome?” Sousei smirked, she looked up to Ari.
“Yeah she’s pretty cool, and those other two dolls of hers..Barasomething... and Shaina. Interesting dolls”
Sousei giggled a bit. “Yeah Barasuishou, we just call her Bara-chan and Shay-chan too! They are really nice once you get to know them.
After they had been talking for hours, it was evening time and Grandpa came up to check on them. Once he saw Sousei sitting on Rein’s lap as he was reading to her, the old man smiled before he announced that dinner was almost ready.
Night time had come quickly once dinner was over. Rein was just coming back from his class, when he spotted Suigintou sitting up on a lamp post..looked like she was waiting for him.
“So you’ve come back to take the rest of my arm?” He grumbled
“No...I haven’t....”
She floats down and stood before him. Her wings were white again, having calmed down. The street lamp highlighted her silvery hair very nicely, and almost seemed to make her eyes glow a warm color. She curtsies to him and looked up again. Megu told her all about how Rein was going to help her get better, it was Megu’s idea to find him and apologize for earlier.
“I uhm...I’ve come to apologize for my actions before....I was not myself...that and....Megu was quite cross with me for how I behaved...my bottom almost wore her hand mark.”
He had to chuckle seeing this doll that almost killed him before, begging for forgiveness.
“Well it’s alright, I sort of deserved to be attacked....Trust me..Megu’s always been like a little sister to me..I guess we both got carried away earlier”
He knelt down in front of her and looks into those soft magenta eyes a moment. “You’re kinda cute....just like Megu”
She’d blush and smile, thankful that he was not mad at her either.
“Thank you; I can see why she fancies you as well. If you get a chance to speak with my younger sister Souseiseki....please tell her I am very sorry as well...I suppose she knocked some sense in to me...I should be going, I promised Megu I’d return before it grew too dark...”
She bows to him and glanced back up as he patted the top of her head gently.
“You’re not so bad after all, I’ll talk to Sousei, she seems to like me, heck I sort of like her now...she was saying something about making a contract...I’d like to see what its like to be a medium to a doll...well I’ll let you get back to Megu...give her a kiss for me!”
Gin grins and winks as she took off, thinking that went well, she smiles to her self as she flew home to Megu.
“Aww she isn’t so bad...maybe a little nutty...but it makes her cute” Rein chuckles as he headed back home as well.
A few moments later Suigintou arrived back at Megu’s window and hopped down.
“So how’d it go? He wasn’t mad was he?” Megu asked as Gin climbs up the bed and sits beside her.
“No he was fine. He and Souseiseki seem to be getting along. I think she might find a decent medium in that boy. I can see why you like him Megu, he is handsome indeed”
Megu blushed and tickled Gin playfully. “Oh well yeah he is cute...last time I saw him, I was just a little taller then you” She giggles.
Gin looked up to her medium and sighed, they had another close call, she couldn’t afford to loose Megu again. As Megu held her hands around Gin’s waist, Gin’s small hands were resting over Megu’s as well.
“Hey....Megu....about what I said before....”
“Forget it Gin, it’s alright...if that naughty Kira really was controlling you...then I trust that it wasn’t you before...besides.....after you said it....I knew you didn’t mean it. I saw the tears in your eyes, and I felt it in my heart”
Megu rested her chin atop Gin’s head a moment. “Mmm....why don’t you get comfy and put those PJ’s on that you got from Mic-chan, you’ll feel better.” Megu says as she stroked her doll’s hair.
“Hmm..alright”
Suigintou slides out of bed and onto the floor where she keeps her case. Opening it she finds the one very pretty night gown Mic-chan gave her, instead of the PJ’s. The doll sized nighty was light blue with dark blue rose designs, with black lace trim on the straps and at the hem. As Gin got undressed, Megu watched and giggled to herself. Those cute doll joints were irresistible to Megu. Once Gin was finished she climbs back on the bed and sits beside Megu with her legs crossed. She left that head band on her head though.
“Oh Suigintou, you look so pretty in that!” Megu blushed and picked her up, holding Gin close.
Gin slid her arms around Megu’s neck in a warm embrace that she didn’t want to let go of, then she remembers what Rein said to her before she left. With a grin she pulls back a little and looks to Megu a moment, before leaning in and kissing her tenderly, then put her head on Megu’s shoulder.
“Suigintou....what was that for? “
“Rein said to give you a kiss for him...well that one was from him.....this one is from me..”
Suigintou moves to kiss her again, a little deeper then the last one, a hand comes up and holds Megu’s right cheek as she kisses her so deeply, putting everything she could into showing Megu how much she cared about her. That kiss seemed to last forever too, and getting deeper the longer they held it. Megu’s hands were holding Gin’s sides firmly and returning those wonderful kisses fully.
“Mmm...Gin....I love you” She whispers against her Angel’s lips.
“I love you too my Megu-chan”
Gin says as she kissed down to Megu’s neck and finally rests against her, arms still around her neck firmly. The two had snuggled for quite some time that night. When they woke up the next morning, Megu found that her PJ top was un buttoned halfway, her PJ bottoms were off completely and Suigintou’s nighty was rolled up to her chest. Well they had a good night didn’t they? Megu blushed and remembered what had happened last night. She quickly got dressed and slides Gin’s nighty down to cover her once more.
“Did we.....do that...”
Megu asks herself as she rolls over, holding Gin tightly. Kissing the top of Gin’s head a moment, she think again, then it hit her. Yes...they had crossed that line between a doll and her medium together. Glancing down to Suigintou she noticed something strange about her. She was still in doll size but, Megu couldn’t find any doll joints! Suigintou’s skin was smooth and very free of doll joints. She noticed Gin had more defined features as well now. Her Angel really looked like an Angel!
“Gin....you gotta wake up and see this...” She nudged her gently.
“Mmmm...Megu-chan...” Gin rolled over and looked up, before she sat up a little more.
“Morning Megu” She grins and holds her medium’s hand.
“Morning Gin...Uhm...take a look...” Megu held Gin’s right arm up and ran a finger up and down her elbow.
“What is this? My joints...what happened to them?”
She’d hop out of bed and stand up, looking down to her knees and feeling all over her body for a doll joint. Then looked down the front of her nighty, She had a more defined chest now as well. Her hands were placed over her proportioned breasts and looked up to Megu.
“I’m...starting to become Alice....I think..is it because of what we did last night?” Gin’s eyes started to tear a little; this thought of becoming Alice was wonderful to her.
“I think so Gin, you’re on your way to becoming a full human girl...you’re even more beautiful now. You’ve changed a bit all over. Your hair is wavy, and your eyes are brighter, and body is cuter! You look like a little angel for real!”
Megu was so happy for her, and crawls out of bed, kneels down and held Suigintou in her arms. Those wings seemed a part of her as wel,l and wondered if Gin could control them easier. Kissing Gin’s cheeks they sit back up on the bed, with Megu inspecting Gin pretty much all over, just to make sure this wasn’t a trick. As she does this, Kira watches from her N-field and sighed.
“My Onee-sama is becoming Alice....I”m so happy...and I helped her...”
Before Kira had left last night, she had left behind what little power she had, just for Gin, and that love she carried with her for her sister as well. This left Kira with pretty much nothing inside, all she had now to do was return to her own body. In doing so, she’d give that Kira a chance in becoming Alice as well. When she leaves to find her body, she found her snuggled up in bed along side Ari, with Bara and Shay as well. She takes a deep breath and phases back into her body, feeling the hug from Ari and smiles.
This was where she belonged, and finally, after all this time, she realized this. She didn’t want revenge on Father, she didn’t want to destroy Gin’s happiness, all she really wanted, was to be loved by a family. She wakes up a little and kissed Ari’s cheek, then glanced to Bara and Shay on the other side of their master and crawls over to them, getting in between the two she fell back to sleep.
“I love you guys” Kira whispers softly.
Rein was just waking up that morning, he had a class in a few hours, he figured he’d get up and get ready. As he rolls over, the first thing he sees is Souseiseki, waiting for him with some nice hot tea and a small breakfast of a bagel and an orange.
“Morning Rein-kun, I just came up to see if you were awake. I made some tea for you” She says with a cute blush.
“Hey thanks Sousei, you didn’t have to, that was really sweet” He says as he sat up and patted the top of her head gently.
She sets the small tray on his desk and hopped on the bed as she waited for him to finish getting ready in the bathroom. When he came out she admired his good looks once again as he combed his hair and sat down for his quick breakfast.
“So you’re off to your morning classes Rein-kun?” She asks brushing her bangs from her eyes.
“Huh? Oh yeah got my history class and a few others today, I should be home before five tonight, then I’m off a few days. I’d love to get a few more stories out of you; it’ll help my history class” He chuckles before sipping some tea.
“I’d like that too!” She smiled and watched him eat his breakfast. After he left, she watched him leave and head down the street from her spot in his room, looking out the window.
“He’s a great boy isn’t he?” Grandma says so proudly.
“Yes he is Grandma! I....I really like him” Sousei says with a blush.
“Oh? I think someone has a crush!” Her Grandma teased her.
“Huh? No way!...well..” Sousei looked away a moment.
“It’s alright dear, dolls can have feelings too, you are every much a young lady too, you’re entitled to have a look around to see what’s out there. Grandma sat beside Sousei on the bed and held her close.
“You’re the closest thing I have to a granddaughter, well your sister is sweet, but you’re sweeter”
“Thank you Grandma, I love being here with you and Grandpa and maybe...Rein will be my medium”
“Maybe he will, he does seem to like you dear” Grandma kissed Sousei’s forehead before she left to work on some chores down in the shop.
“I think...he’d make a great medium, almost as great as Jun-kun” Sousei blushed at the thought, her true sweet nature coming out even more since meeting Rein last night.
There seemed to be a lot of love wandering through the Rozen Maidens lately, Shinku and Jun confessed, Suigintou and Megu shared an interesting night together already. And now, Souseiseki and her new friend Rein. Well Sousei wants a medium, and to be his friend. Even Kirakishou has finally found where she belongs. She adored Arianna and her dolls, and seemed to fit right in. Kira didn’t tell them about her evil side coming back to her body; she didn’t want to scare them.
Somewhere however, in the deep recesses of another N-field, where Enju was banished to, He was working on a new creation, against Rozen’s orders to never create another doll. This doll was in the early stages, she didn’t even have a dress or a paint job yet, but Enju, who wanted nothing more then to have a creation of his surpass Rozen’s smirked as he pieces his newest creation together carefully.
“This time....I will not fail. You will be stronger then Barasuishou, faster then Suigintou....my lovely one. A name though...you need a name...something those Rozen creations will fear more then Kirakishou...”
Enju picked at his brain for hours, writing down several different names, even mixing names of Rozen’s dolls together.....Some were, Barasuginku...and Suiseikishou.....No they were terrible names he thought. He wanted this doll to have the perfect name, until he was browsing though some books and saw something that caught his attention.
“Hmm...Your name will be...”*Jigomako*...Yes my little demon girl of Hell...” *which does mean Demon girl of Hell by the way*
Enju laughed a bit to himself as he finished piecing his new creation together. Her body type was that of Suigintou’s with the longer arms and legs, giving her a more grown up body, but he gave her a sweeter face style, much like Hina Ichigo’s. He worked endlessly on creating this doll. Once her eyes were set into place, he gave her a set of eerie silver eyes, that seemed to have a prismatic tint to them when the light hit them a certain way.
Her hair was strawberry blonde, but styled almost in a mix of Bara’s and Shinku’s. Her dress was a cross of Suiseiseki’s sleeves, Hina’s slippers, Suigntou’s torso and shoulders and Kira’s Rose shaped skirt. For a special effect, he placed a silver rose eye patch over the eye where Kira had her rose. Once this doll was finished, he stepped back and admired his darkly dressed little masterpiece.
“Beautiful...” He mutters as he adjusted Jigomako’s dress just a little more. Her dress was colored a deep blood red with black ribbons on the sleeves and black lace trim on the edges of the dress.
“It’s not yet time to awaken you my lovely...very soon...Very soon indeed.” He picked the doll up in his arms and carried her from the workshop and places her in a special black leather case.
Shinku had dozed off on Jun’s bed that after noon, and awakens with a startle. She had foreseen something strange and wicked. Did she just see Jigomako completed? In any case she was quite afraid. Taking a deep breath she sighs a little and looked to Hina.
“Go get Jun, tell him to start some tea please”
“Okay Shinku!!” Hina skittered out of the room and downstairs. As she slides down the railing, she bumped smack into Jun, and almost knocked the boy over!
“Hey careful! You can get hurt that way Hina-chan!” He catches her Just in time and puts her on his shoulders.
“Shinku says to make her some tea Na no!...she looked like she saw a ghost though!”
“Ghosts aren’t real Chibi Ichigo, they’re just stories made up to scare stupid little kids desu!”
Jun snuck up behind Suisei and grabbed her sides as he shouted: “BOO!”
Suiseiseki jumped ten feet into the air screaming something about a ghost wanting her soul and took off under the couch. Hina and Jun both got a good laugh from that one.
“Suisei is afraid of Ghosts Na no!!” Hina laughed sweetly as Jun carries her into the kitchen to make Shinku’s tea.
“Hmph...You just ...c..caught me of guard that’s all desu...I’ll let you have that one Chibi ningen desu....but next time you wont be so lucky desu!!” Suisei tried to be brave, even though she clattered all over from being so scared.
Once Jun finished prepareing Shinku’s tea, he set her special little cup on a tray with some cookies and took them upstairs to her.
“Hey your tea’s done, I brought some cookies too” He smiles and peeked in to see Shinku sitting up with her knees up to her chest.
“Shinku? Are you alright?” He set the tray down on the desk and sat on the edge of the bed with an arm around her.
“I saw something, very terrible Jun. She was....like one of us. But with silver eyes...” She muttered.
“Well I’m sure it was just a bad dream...maybe something that happened in the past? Don’t worry about it though, I’m here, and your sisters are too”
Shinku closed her eyes and leans against him, holding his hand in hers. She had been leaving her bonnet off, only because he said she looked prettier without it, which she did, she looked more grown up. She sighed a moment and looked up to him,
“I suppose you are right Jun, it might have been just a passing moment in history coming back...thank you”
She hugged him tight and asked him to get her tea and cookies. Sitting with her for a while, Jun heard Sousei and Suisei down stairs and smiled.
“So you think you might have a medium desu?” Suisei asked her.
“Yes I think so, he’s very kind, and has a lot of knowledge about us, He even knows Ari-san, and Megu-chan too.”
She was telling Suisei about how Gin attacked Rein last night, which didn’t surprise either one really. Suisei just shook her head, but stuck up for Gin, now that was a surprise.
“I don’t blame her desu....sure she was wrong for kicking his ass desu..but...She was only looking out for Megu chan after all desu”
“Suisei....I..I guess your’e right..I was harsh with Gin-sama last night, besides, Rein’s arm is okay. If I see her...I hope I can clear things up with her...”
Sousei held her sister’s hand and smiled a bit.
“She won’t be mad at you desu, Gin’s actually kinda cool now desu” Suisei giggled a bit.
Jun comes down the steps with Shinku and her tea and wonders what the twins were chattering about down here. After some information he was up to speed, and wondering himself how Gin is able to calm herself after each of her anger episodes. Sousei was telling them all about Rein, and the more she talked about this guy, the more they figured she had a crush on him.
Sousei glanced over to Shinku a moment, she could tell there was something up, but wasn’t too sure if she should press matters any further. Shinku’s glance wandered to Sousei, she noticed her concern and closed her eyes as she set her tea cup down.
“Perhaps I should say something about my dream...who..or whatever it was, it seems to be another doll, it might have been just old memories gone hazy over the years.”
“Wow another one?...you don’t suppose Father is making an eight sister desu” Suisei got a little excited.
No..this one...from what I saw, she didn’t seem like anything Father would make. She had a...Barasuishou quality to her, all I remember, were her silver eyes” Shinku shuddered a little.
“Silver eyes hmm?” Sousei thought and shrugged it off. It might have just been a weird dream Shinku, I wouldn’t worry too much”
Jun patted Shinku’s shoulder a little; he could sense her uneasy-ness. They sat on the couch for some time, Jun kept his eye on Shinku, just to make sure she was going to be alright. Sometime mid afternoon they heard Suigintou’s voice, and wondered what brought her here today. Everyone gathered in the dining room where Suigintou was sitting in a chair, cross legged.
“I have come to share some news with you.” She says as she hopped down from the chair and rolled up her sleeves on her dress.
“What is it Suigintou? Did something happen?” Shinku asked, a bit concerned when Gin didn’t say what it was right away.
“Oh nothing bad happened at all...in fact this is very good news...Notice...anything different about me?”
She stood with her arms folded, but her arms were uncovered, she wondered how long it would take before anyone says something. Suisei walked up and took a short walk around Suigintou, the first thing she noticed, was her eyes, they were still magenta, but had a hint of brown in them now. Upon closer inspection by Shinku, her eyes widened when she noticed Gin’s joints were gone.
“Suigintou....what happened?” She had her hand on Gin’s elbow, feeling how smooth it was.
The first doll smirked, and blushed deeply as she placed her hands over her mystica before she looks to them.
“Something amazing happened last night. Megu and I wake up this morning..and I find that my body has changed. I have a chest now Shinku!..look!”
She was so excited as she leans on Shinku, her defined and firmer breasts press against Shinku gently.
“Oh my God..Suigintou’s got a nice rack now desu” Suisei got a jab in her side from Sousei after that one.
“Wow..Gin how’d it happen?” Jun knelt down and held her hands, he was so happy for her.
Shinku blushed quite deeply feeling Gin’s chest against hers like that and hugged her close. She wondered herself just how it could have happened, and was itching to know the full story. Gin smiles brightly and had no shame in telling her sisters and Jun what she and Megu did last night, after they had a small fight. Say what you want, but Suigintou does love Megu. Once the others heard what Gin and her medium did, they all blushed deeply. Hina however had no clue of what went on, she was just happy that Gin was so happy.
“So..wow...you and Megu huh?...” Jun was speechless, and trying not to picture it either.
“That’s wonderful Suigintou; I suppose this is one of the steps to becoming Alice”
Shinku had blushed deeply again, she couldn’t get over how beautiful Gin had become; well she was before, but now even more so. They were all sitting on the couch together; Gin was showing off her knees and giggling about how good she feels. Suisei got a little jealous since the first sister was the very first to have grown up so much, but then she was happy for her, and admired her new looks.
“You’ve got brown in your eyes like Megu-chan desu, I think you might start to look like her after a while desu!” Suisei giggled.
Suigintou blushed and tried not to blush so deeply, but she couldn’t help herself now, she was truly becoming more and more like a young lady. Even as she sat there with Jun and her sisters, she just had this grown up look about her.
Jun couldn’t help but look to Gin, his eyes had wandered to her cleavage a moment, hey the boy can look cant he? Suigintou grins and leans against him, her chest pressing against his arm as she hugged herself close to him. When Gin was getting ready to leave, she still had a stop over at Arianna’s to make before she headed back to Megu, she hugged her sisters tight and kissed their cheeks, even Jun’s cheek too.
“We’re all so happy for you Suigintou. I know I am” Shinku says as she hugged her tight in return.
The twins had hugged her back and let Gin make her leave, only before hugging Hina so tight.
“I want to be as pretty as Gin-san Na no! I’ll work real hard!!” Hina giggled.
“I know you can do it Hina” Gin pats her head gently before she headed out to find Arianna and her girls to tell them the good news.
As Gin flies to Ari’s home that evening, she hums Megu’s song to herself, getting a warm feeling in her chest, She had spotted below her, Rein coming back from the hospital. She had wondered if everything was alright, and decided to end her visits for the night, and return to Megu, just in case. Landing on the window sill, she found the window was closed again. No big deal she thought, she’d wait patiently. Peeking in she saw the nurses doing their usual tending to Megu, everything seemed alright. Satisfied that Megu was perfectly fine, she continues on her way to Ari’s home. Once there she hopped in the window in the living room.
“So sorry to intrude, but I have wonderful news everyone” She goes about the same way as she did over Jun’s home, getting pretty much the same reaction here as she got over there. Kira ran up and gave Gin a tight hug, and pulled back, admiring Gin’s new look.
“Onee-sama is gorgeous” Kira rested her head against her gently.
“Damn right, look at you Gin-chan, this is great!” Shaina was very excited for her as well as Bara, who shyly blushed as she stood beside Shaina.
“Yes.....she’s truly and Angel” Bara said softly.
Suigintou held her two friends and youngest sister tightly. When she saw Ari she smirked and looked up to her, and winked.
“Well what’s going on here ladies? Oh Suigintou, what’s up Hun?” Ari knelt down to her, and noticed right away the change.
“Goodness, someone’s been drinking their milk...Gin you look great! So this must be the first stop on the road to becoming Alice, I’m impressed! And I think your Father would be too” Ari held Gin close and picked her up a moment.
“I hope so; I want him to see how I’ve grown!” Gin rested against Ari a moment.
“Oh I think he has a good idea, he’s proud of you Suigintou, and so am I....you’ve had some rocky spots but, I think you’ll turn out all right”
Ari ruffled Gin’s soft hair playfully, before Gin whispers to Ari just how she was able to achieve this shape. Much to Ari’s surprise, after hearing what she and Megu did, the young woman did a double take and set her down, patting her backside.
“Little imp, you run along, and go back to Megu before she gets lonely” Ari winked to her as Gin left.
“What’d she say?” Bara asked as she tugged on Ari’s pant leg.
“I....Uhh..I’ll tell you girls when you’ll understand it a little more...its complicated” She needed a drink now after that one.
Gin zipped quickly back up to Megu’s window, found it to still be closed. She peeked in again and noticed Megu wasn’t there. Gin figured the nurses took Megu down to the cafeteria for some real food for a change. Suigintou gripped the window and slides it open herself. After that feat, she was a little worn out, that window was heavy to slide. Sitting on the bed she crossed her legs and turns on the TV. She could hear the shower running in the bathroom, and hearing Megu’s soft song.
Knowing where her medium was, Gin felt better and not so paranoid. With a small grin she got up and peeked inside to see what Megu was doing. Just taking a bath, the water had stopped and Megu was leaning back in the tub as she sang her song to herself.
Gin smiled and watched her for a moment, before shutting the door again and waiting on the bed. Megu had spotted out of the corner of her eye, Suigintou peek in and leave, she pouted a little when Gin didn’t ask to join her. Gin was curious however, and made her way back to the bathroom door and peeked in once more. Now she had done this one other time, but that was before she grew closer to Megu.
“I didn’t think you’d sneak in on me, Gin you’re naughty sometimes” Megu chuckles
“You have no idea just how naughty I can be Megu-chan”
Gin’s eyes held that naughty glint which was shown last night. She walked up to the tub and sat on the edge, looking down to Megu in her bubble bath, her body covered in strategic places by suds, that made Gin pout a little.
“So did you tell your sisters about what happened? I bet they were jealous” Megu said as she leans back again.
“Oh they were at first, but everyone was so happy for me and for the both of us as well. I still can’t believe....what we did. It felt like a dream...” Gin’s cheeks tinted a deep pink as she reached over and held Megu’s cheek.
“I know I had a dream a while back that was very similar, only you were in full human size...and very breathtakingly beautiful. My imagination ran away with me that night” She’d giggle and flick some suds on to Gin’s nose.
Gin scrunched her nose and blew off the suds and smiles to Megu again, being careful as to not fall into the tub with her dress on. She sighs happily and both lean in closer, Megu kissing Gin very softly before Gin left to wait for her.
“She’s so cute....and wonderful...and perfect....” Megu says to herself as she relaxes once more.
Having just caught up with the story, Megu-Chan, let me give you another critique:
Things done well:
-- You've done a better job of recreating the general atmosphere found in the actual series. Chapter 17 is the best example of that. Including the vast majority of canon characters also added to that familiarity.
Things to work on:
-- Narration. Right now the voice of narration you use in the story is a bit too familiar, as if you yourself were telling the story. When this happens and your personal biases and excitement slip into phrases of the narration it makes it seem very young and unprofessional.
-- Your chapters are a bit... episodic. I mean that problems tend to introduce themselves and get resolved in very short order. You should think about weaving plotlines together rather than building them up and breaking them down one-at-a-time.

Hmm..ya know I think you may be right with things getting resolved too quick..I wrote half of 18 and 19 in themiddle of the night and was probably half assed asleep. I'll try harder to not make things sound..un professional in the later chapters, xD I guess I did get a little excited about a few things. With the newest problem that going to pester the dolls I'm definately not going to solve it in one or two chapters this time. Your crit has really helped me alot!!! thanks so much!!
i'll be looking forward for the next chapters hope you can apply your old style of making my mind race since the next chapter would include mind boggling and butt kicking action because of the 10th doll
8th = bara
9th = shaina
10th = jigukumo (uh is this ryt? ~_~ )
thanks so much for the review. i'll do better next time ^_^

Spoiler:
Chapter Nineteen
“Why Suigintou? What could’ve made you snap?”
Megu says to herself as she lies down in bed, crying her heart out. She’s cried too much lately, and can’t take the stress. The poor girl started to have a major attack in her stressful moment. As she has her attack, Suigintou had come back and watches Megu struggle to stay alive. She didn’t know what to do, if she should leave...or sit with Megu.
“Just let me die Suigintou.....” Megu says as she gasps for her breaths.
Gin just stood there, tears flowing down her cheeks. She was frozen with fear that Megu might die, and she can’t help her. Swooping over to Megu’s side Gin lies down beside her struggling medium. Holding her arm close to her little body, Gin clutched Megu as tight as she could.
“Just go away! You’ve done enough damage Suigintou!!” Megu tried to pry Gin off of her. When Gin fell to the floor she had this sad look like a lost puppy and gripped Megu’s hand, nuzzling her cheek against it.
“Megu.......please don’t....I’m sorry...I was just....”
She felt Megu’s hand become limp in hers. Looking up she didn’t seem to be moving, or breathing. She climbs back up on the bed and sat at Megu’s chest, gripping her shoulders.
“Megu?...oh God no...MEGU!! You...you can’t....oh Megu no please don’t.....don’t leave me!!!”
She shook the girl a bit. Megu had actually been holding her breath, wanting to see what Suigintou does, if she really does care, she’d wake up. She felt Gin shaking her to wake her up, and felt Gin’s tears on her cheeks. When Gin was giving her CPR, that’s what got her thinking, it was mostly Gin’s lips on her own that did it. Gin had watched one of the nurses do this once or twice before, she’s a faster learner.
“Please Megu!!....Don’t leave me!! I’m sorry!! I don’t hate you.....I don’t hate you....I love you Megu!!........I love you so much.....”
Gin had rested her head just above Megu’s breasts and cried hard. Gin soon felt Megu’s chest rising and falling, and her heart beat pounding again and arms around her tightly. “Oh Megu....you’re okay...”
The girl caught her breath and sat up. She was still sore at what Gin said before, but now that she knew Gin just saved her life again...she held onto that doll so tightly. Suigintou looked up as she held either side of Megu’s face firmly.
“Don’t....do that ever again”
Megu looked away a little and let go of Suigintou a moment. “Gin...we’ve been through this before, now I’m not sure if I want to keep this contract....if you keep flipping out. Why do you keep flipping out anyway?”
Gin looked way as well, and sighed. “Kirakishou is within me....she’s making me do these things....you know I’d never say anything or do anything to harm you Megu.”
“How can I really trust you though? I know you love me but, if you keep going crazy, I’m going to have to ask you to cancel the contract for good.”
Gin’s eyes went wide as she heard Megu say that. She held Megu’s hand and looked up into her eyes. Gin’s eyes had gone back to the warm caring look once more. Her small hand held her mediums hand tightly, and kisses her palms. Inside of Gin, Kira felt a twinge and realized finally and sighed to herself. She knew what she had to do. It was Kira’s decision to leave Gins body.
They saw a light pink light escape Gin’s body and it took the shape of Kira, and then vanished. Megu looked to Gin and held her tightly after that. Pulling back, she looked down to Suigintou, her thumb comes up and wipes away Gin’s tears, and just holds her so close against her chest once more.
“She was inside of you then...Oh god Gin...I...I didn’t believe you...”
“I’ll always love you though Onee-sama. .I’ll go back to my own body...you’ve shown me that...love is stronger then anything else...”
Kira returned to her N-field and sat down in her shack and cried. For the first time she just cried...mostly since she has failed..and figured out how much Megu meant to Gin.
Souseiseki had helped Rein up the steps and into his room. He sat down on the bed as Sousei gathered the first aide kit from the bathroom. When she came back in he was wincing a bit and watching the small tomboy doll walk towards him, then sits beside him on the bed to tend to his arm.
“She’s been crazy lately...but then again Suigintou has always been a little...different.” Sousei says a she wrapped his arm.
“I....want to thank you for saving me out there....damn she’s scary” He winced as Sousei applies a little rubbing alcohol to clean his wound.
“So what’s your name?” He asks, wondering if this was one of those Rozen dolls.
“Souseiseki, the fourth Rozen Maiden” She says proudly.
“I’m Rein and thanks again Souseiseki.....that’s a nice name.” He said looking to her small fingers as they gently worked on him.
“Thank you” She had blushed a bit. Her Green and Red eyes look up to him a moment, well her blush was even deeper then.
“So you’re the second Gardener twin...just as cute as your older twin. I was reading about you and your sisters earlier...but..how’d you know this is where I lived?” He was a little confused.
“Grandma and Grandpa take care of me until I can find a true medium” She says softly.
“Iv’e been here two weeks..how is it I haven’t seen you?” He was even more confused now.
“I’ve been hiding out in Grandma’s room where I sleep in my case”
“Oh that’s right..Rozen Maidens have cases they sleep in...So that’s what that thing was”
He chuckles a little. He was starting to like little Souseiseki, even though she wasn’t as tall as Megu..or have long dark hair..he still thought the tomboy doll was a cutie. The two were chatting like old friends in
no time though. Rein was sitting at his small desk, showing Sousei all sorts of different internet sites just about the Rozen Maidens. He noticed how interested Sousei was and that made him smile.
“So what are your other sisters like? Besides the nutty Suigintou that flies into jealous fits..” He rubbed his arm.
“They are all so kind. The fifth sister, Shinku, she’s like the princess of the group, she can be very bossy, and stuck up at times, but when she is with her medium, she has this smile that I haven’t seen in a very long time. The sixth sister, Hina Ichigo, well she’s just a little kid at heart, my twin Suiseiseki is always picking on her. My second sister Kanaria thinks she’s a genius or something though her medium is just..weird...And the Seventh sister..well..” She paused a moment.
“I met the seventh sister at my friend’s home earlier today. Kirakishou right?” He says as he picked Sousei up and set her on the bed.
“Yes that’s her. All of us didn’t even know if she was real until after we met her. So you know Ari-san? Isn’t she awesome?” Sousei smirked, she looked up to Ari.
“Yeah she’s pretty cool, and those other two dolls of hers..Barasomething... and Shaina. Interesting dolls”
Sousei giggled a bit. “Yeah Barasuishou, we just call her Bara-chan and Shay-chan too! They are really nice once you get to know them.
After they had been talking for hours, it was evening time and Grandpa came up to check on them. Once he saw Sousei sitting on Rein’s lap as he was reading to her, the old man smiled before he announced that dinner was almost ready.
Night time had come quickly once dinner was over. Rein was just coming back from his class, when he spotted Suigintou sitting up on a lamp post..looked like she was waiting for him.
“So you’ve come back to take the rest of my arm?” He grumbled
“No...I haven’t....”
She floats down and stood before him. Her wings were white again, having calmed down. The street lamp highlighted her silvery hair very nicely, and almost seemed to make her eyes glow a warm color. She curtsies to him and looked up again. Megu told her all about how Rein was going to help her get better, it was Megu’s idea to find him and apologize for earlier.
“I uhm...I’ve come to apologize for my actions before....I was not myself...that and....Megu was quite cross with me for how I behaved...my bottom almost wore her hand mark.”
He had to chuckle seeing this doll that almost killed him before, begging for forgiveness.
“Well it’s alright, I sort of deserved to be attacked....Trust me..Megu’s always been like a little sister to me..I guess we both got carried away earlier”
He knelt down in front of her and looks into those soft magenta eyes a moment. “You’re kinda cute....just like Megu”
She’d blush and smile, thankful that he was not mad at her either.
“Thank you; I can see why she fancies you as well. If you get a chance to speak with my younger sister Souseiseki....please tell her I am very sorry as well...I suppose she knocked some sense in to me...I should be going, I promised Megu I’d return before it grew too dark...”
She bows to him and glanced back up as he patted the top of her head gently.
“You’re not so bad after all, I’ll talk to Sousei, she seems to like me, heck I sort of like her now...she was saying something about making a contract...I’d like to see what its like to be a medium to a doll...well I’ll let you get back to Megu...give her a kiss for me!”
Gin grins and winks as she took off, thinking that went well, she smiles to her self as she flew home to Megu.
“Aww she isn’t so bad...maybe a little nutty...but it makes her cute” Rein chuckles as he headed back home as well.
A few moments later Suigintou arrived back at Megu’s window and hopped down.
“So how’d it go? He wasn’t mad was he?” Megu asked as Gin climbs up the bed and sits beside her.
“No he was fine. He and Souseiseki seem to be getting along. I think she might find a decent medium in that boy. I can see why you like him Megu, he is handsome indeed”
Megu blushed and tickled Gin playfully. “Oh well yeah he is cute...last time I saw him, I was just a little taller then you” She giggles.
Gin looked up to her medium and sighed, they had another close call, she couldn’t afford to loose Megu again. As Megu held her hands around Gin’s waist, Gin’s small hands were resting over Megu’s as well.
“Hey....Megu....about what I said before....”
“Forget it Gin, it’s alright...if that naughty Kira really was controlling you...then I trust that it wasn’t you before...besides.....after you said it....I knew you didn’t mean it. I saw the tears in your eyes, and I felt it in my heart”
Megu rested her chin atop Gin’s head a moment. “Mmm....why don’t you get comfy and put those PJ’s on that you got from Mic-chan, you’ll feel better.” Megu says as she stroked her doll’s hair.
“Hmm..alright”
Suigintou slides out of bed and onto the floor where she keeps her case. Opening it she finds the one very pretty night gown Mic-chan gave her, instead of the PJ’s. The doll sized nighty was light blue with dark blue rose designs, with black lace trim on the straps and at the hem. As Gin got undressed, Megu watched and giggled to herself. Those cute doll joints were irresistible to Megu. Once Gin was finished she climbs back on the bed and sits beside Megu with her legs crossed. She left that head band on her head though.
“Oh Suigintou, you look so pretty in that!” Megu blushed and picked her up, holding Gin close.
Gin slid her arms around Megu’s neck in a warm embrace that she didn’t want to let go of, then she remembers what Rein said to her before she left. With a grin she pulls back a little and looks to Megu a moment, before leaning in and kissing her tenderly, then put her head on Megu’s shoulder.
“Suigintou....what was that for? “
“Rein said to give you a kiss for him...well that one was from him.....this one is from me..”
Suigintou moves to kiss her again, a little deeper then the last one, a hand comes up and holds Megu’s right cheek as she kisses her so deeply, putting everything she could into showing Megu how much she cared about her. That kiss seemed to last forever too, and getting deeper the longer they held it. Megu’s hands were holding Gin’s sides firmly and returning those wonderful kisses fully.
“Mmm...Gin....I love you” She whispers against her Angel’s lips.
“I love you too my Megu-chan”
Gin says as she kissed down to Megu’s neck and finally rests against her, arms still around her neck firmly. The two had snuggled for quite some time that night. When they woke up the next morning, Megu found that her PJ top was un buttoned halfway, her PJ bottoms were off completely and Suigintou’s nighty was rolled up to her chest. Well they had a good night didn’t they? Megu blushed and remembered what had happened last night. She quickly got dressed and slides Gin’s nighty down to cover her once more.
“Did we.....do that...”
Megu asks herself as she rolls over, holding Gin tightly. Kissing the top of Gin’s head a moment, she think again, then it hit her. Yes...they had crossed that line between a doll and her medium together. Glancing down to Suigintou she noticed something strange about her. She was still in doll size but, Megu couldn’t find any doll joints! Suigintou’s skin was smooth and very free of doll joints. She noticed Gin had more defined features as well now. Her Angel really looked like an Angel!
“Gin....you gotta wake up and see this...” She nudged her gently.
“Mmmm...Megu-chan...” Gin rolled over and looked up, before she sat up a little more.
“Morning Megu” She grins and holds her medium’s hand.
“Morning Gin...Uhm...take a look...” Megu held Gin’s right arm up and ran a finger up and down her elbow.
“What is this? My joints...what happened to them?”
She’d hop out of bed and stand up, looking down to her knees and feeling all over her body for a doll joint. Then looked down the front of her nighty, She had a more defined chest now as well. Her hands were placed over her proportioned breasts and looked up to Megu.
“I’m...starting to become Alice....I think..is it because of what we did last night?” Gin’s eyes started to tear a little; this thought of becoming Alice was wonderful to her.
“I think so Gin, you’re on your way to becoming a full human girl...you’re even more beautiful now. You’ve changed a bit all over. Your hair is wavy, and your eyes are brighter, and body is cuter! You look like a little angel for real!”
Megu was so happy for her, and crawls out of bed, kneels down and held Suigintou in her arms. Those wings seemed a part of her as wel,l and wondered if Gin could control them easier. Kissing Gin’s cheeks they sit back up on the bed, with Megu inspecting Gin pretty much all over, just to make sure this wasn’t a trick. As she does this, Kira watches from her N-field and sighed.
“My Onee-sama is becoming Alice....I”m so happy...and I helped her...”
Before Kira had left last night, she had left behind what little power she had, just for Gin, and that love she carried with her for her sister as well. This left Kira with pretty much nothing inside, all she had now to do was return to her own body. In doing so, she’d give that Kira a chance in becoming Alice as well. When she leaves to find her body, she found her snuggled up in bed along side Ari, with Bara and Shay as well. She takes a deep breath and phases back into her body, feeling the hug from Ari and smiles.
This was where she belonged, and finally, after all this time, she realized this. She didn’t want revenge on Father, she didn’t want to destroy Gin’s happiness, all she really wanted, was to be loved by a family. She wakes up a little and kissed Ari’s cheek, then glanced to Bara and Shay on the other side of their master and crawls over to them, getting in between the two she fell back to sleep.
“I love you guys” Kira whispers softly.
Rein was just waking up that morning, he had a class in a few hours, he figured he’d get up and get ready. As he rolls over, the first thing he sees is Souseiseki, waiting for him with some nice hot tea and a small breakfast of a bagel and an orange.
“Morning Rein-kun, I just came up to see if you were awake. I made some tea for you” She says with a cute blush.
“Hey thanks Sousei, you didn’t have to, that was really sweet” He says as he sat up and patted the top of her head gently.
She sets the small tray on his desk and hopped on the bed as she waited for him to finish getting ready in the bathroom. When he came out she admired his good looks once again as he combed his hair and sat down for his quick breakfast.
“So you’re off to your morning classes Rein-kun?” She asks brushing her bangs from her eyes.
“Huh? Oh yeah got my history class and a few others today, I should be home before five tonight, then I’m off a few days. I’d love to get a few more stories out of you; it’ll help my history class” He chuckles before sipping some tea.
“I’d like that too!” She smiled and watched him eat his breakfast. After he left, she watched him leave and head down the street from her spot in his room, looking out the window.
“He’s a great boy isn’t he?” Grandma says so proudly.
“Yes he is Grandma! I....I really like him” Sousei says with a blush.
“Oh? I think someone has a crush!” Her Grandma teased her.
“Huh? No way!...well..” Sousei looked away a moment.
“It’s alright dear, dolls can have feelings too, you are every much a young lady too, you’re entitled to have a look around to see what’s out there. Grandma sat beside Sousei on the bed and held her close.
“You’re the closest thing I have to a granddaughter, well your sister is sweet, but you’re sweeter”
“Thank you Grandma, I love being here with you and Grandpa and maybe...Rein will be my medium”
“Maybe he will, he does seem to like you dear” Grandma kissed Sousei’s forehead before she left to work on some chores down in the shop.
“I think...he’d make a great medium, almost as great as Jun-kun” Sousei blushed at the thought, her true sweet nature coming out even more since meeting Rein last night.
There seemed to be a lot of love wandering through the Rozen Maidens lately, Shinku and Jun confessed, Suigintou and Megu shared an interesting night together already. And now, Souseiseki and her new friend Rein. Well Sousei wants a medium, and to be his friend. Even Kirakishou has finally found where she belongs. She adored Arianna and her dolls, and seemed to fit right in. Kira didn’t tell them about her evil side coming back to her body; she didn’t want to scare them.
Somewhere however, in the deep recesses of another N-field, where Enju was banished to, He was working on a new creation, against Rozen’s orders to never create another doll. This doll was in the early stages, she didn’t even have a dress or a paint job yet, but Enju, who wanted nothing more then to have a creation of his surpass Rozen’s smirked as he pieces his newest creation together carefully.
“This time....I will not fail. You will be stronger then Barasuishou, faster then Suigintou....my lovely one. A name though...you need a name...something those Rozen creations will fear more then Kirakishou...”
Enju picked at his brain for hours, writing down several different names, even mixing names of Rozen’s dolls together.....Some were, Barasuginku...and Suiseikishou.....No they were terrible names he thought. He wanted this doll to have the perfect name, until he was browsing though some books and saw something that caught his attention.
“Hmm...Your name will be...”*Jigomako*...Yes my little demon girl of Hell...” *which does mean Demon girl of Hell by the way*
Enju laughed a bit to himself as he finished piecing his new creation together. Her body type was that of Suigintou’s with the longer arms and legs, giving her a more grown up body, but he gave her a sweeter face style, much like Hina Ichigo’s. He worked endlessly on creating this doll. Once her eyes were set into place, he gave her a set of eerie silver eyes, that seemed to have a prismatic tint to them when the light hit them a certain way.
Her hair was strawberry blonde, but styled almost in a mix of Bara’s and Shinku’s. Her dress was a cross of Suiseiseki’s sleeves, Hina’s slippers, Suigntou’s torso and shoulders and Kira’s Rose shaped skirt. For a special effect, he placed a silver rose eye patch over the eye where Kira had her rose. Once this doll was finished, he stepped back and admired his darkly dressed little masterpiece.
“Beautiful...” He mutters as he adjusted Jigomako’s dress just a little more. Her dress was colored a deep blood red with black ribbons on the sleeves and black lace trim on the edges of the dress.
“It’s not yet time to awaken you my lovely...very soon...Very soon indeed.” He picked the doll up in his arms and carried her from the workshop and places her in a special black leather case.
Shinku had dozed off on Jun’s bed that after noon, and awakens with a startle. She had foreseen something strange and wicked. Did she just see Jigomako completed? In any case she was quite afraid. Taking a deep breath she sighs a little and looked to Hina.
“Go get Jun, tell him to start some tea please”
“Okay Shinku!!” Hina skittered out of the room and downstairs. As she slides down the railing, she bumped smack into Jun, and almost knocked the boy over!
“Hey careful! You can get hurt that way Hina-chan!” He catches her Just in time and puts her on his shoulders.
“Shinku says to make her some tea Na no!...she looked like she saw a ghost though!”
“Ghosts aren’t real Chibi Ichigo, they’re just stories made up to scare stupid little kids desu!”
Jun snuck up behind Suisei and grabbed her sides as he shouted: “BOO!”
Suiseiseki jumped ten feet into the air screaming something about a ghost wanting her soul and took off under the couch. Hina and Jun both got a good laugh from that one.
“Suisei is afraid of Ghosts Na no!!” Hina laughed sweetly as Jun carries her into the kitchen to make Shinku’s tea.
“Hmph...You just ...c..caught me of guard that’s all desu...I’ll let you have that one Chibi ningen desu....but next time you wont be so lucky desu!!” Suisei tried to be brave, even though she clattered all over from being so scared.
Once Jun finished prepareing Shinku’s tea, he set her special little cup on a tray with some cookies and took them upstairs to her.
“Hey your tea’s done, I brought some cookies too” He smiles and peeked in to see Shinku sitting up with her knees up to her chest.
“Shinku? Are you alright?” He set the tray down on the desk and sat on the edge of the bed with an arm around her.
“I saw something, very terrible Jun. She was....like one of us. But with silver eyes...” She muttered.
“Well I’m sure it was just a bad dream...maybe something that happened in the past? Don’t worry about it though, I’m here, and your sisters are too”
Shinku closed her eyes and leans against him, holding his hand in hers. She had been leaving her bonnet off, only because he said she looked prettier without it, which she did, she looked more grown up. She sighed a moment and looked up to him,
“I suppose you are right Jun, it might have been just a passing moment in history coming back...thank you”
She hugged him tight and asked him to get her tea and cookies. Sitting with her for a while, Jun heard Sousei and Suisei down stairs and smiled.
“So you think you might have a medium desu?” Suisei asked her.
“Yes I think so, he’s very kind, and has a lot of knowledge about us, He even knows Ari-san, and Megu-chan too.”
She was telling Suisei about how Gin attacked Rein last night, which didn’t surprise either one really. Suisei just shook her head, but stuck up for Gin, now that was a surprise.
“I don’t blame her desu....sure she was wrong for kicking his ass desu..but...She was only looking out for Megu chan after all desu”
“Suisei....I..I guess your’e right..I was harsh with Gin-sama last night, besides, Rein’s arm is okay. If I see her...I hope I can clear things up with her...”
Sousei held her sister’s hand and smiled a bit.
“She won’t be mad at you desu, Gin’s actually kinda cool now desu” Suisei giggled a bit.
Jun comes down the steps with Shinku and her tea and wonders what the twins were chattering about down here. After some information he was up to speed, and wondering himself how Gin is able to calm herself after each of her anger episodes. Sousei was telling them all about Rein, and the more she talked about this guy, the more they figured she had a crush on him.
Sousei glanced over to Shinku a moment, she could tell there was something up, but wasn’t too sure if she should press matters any further. Shinku’s glance wandered to Sousei, she noticed her concern and closed her eyes as she set her tea cup down.
“Perhaps I should say something about my dream...who..or whatever it was, it seems to be another doll, it might have been just old memories gone hazy over the years.”
“Wow another one?...you don’t suppose Father is making an eight sister desu” Suisei got a little excited.
No..this one...from what I saw, she didn’t seem like anything Father would make. She had a...Barasuishou quality to her, all I remember, were her silver eyes” Shinku shuddered a little.
“Silver eyes hmm?” Sousei thought and shrugged it off. It might have just been a weird dream Shinku, I wouldn’t worry too much”
Jun patted Shinku’s shoulder a little; he could sense her uneasy-ness. They sat on the couch for some time, Jun kept his eye on Shinku, just to make sure she was going to be alright. Sometime mid afternoon they heard Suigintou’s voice, and wondered what brought her here today. Everyone gathered in the dining room where Suigintou was sitting in a chair, cross legged.
“I have come to share some news with you.” She says as she hopped down from the chair and rolled up her sleeves on her dress.
“What is it Suigintou? Did something happen?” Shinku asked, a bit concerned when Gin didn’t say what it was right away.
“Oh nothing bad happened at all...in fact this is very good news...Notice...anything different about me?”
She stood with her arms folded, but her arms were uncovered, she wondered how long it would take before anyone says something. Suisei walked up and took a short walk around Suigintou, the first thing she noticed, was her eyes, they were still magenta, but had a hint of brown in them now. Upon closer inspection by Shinku, her eyes widened when she noticed Gin’s joints were gone.
“Suigintou....what happened?” She had her hand on Gin’s elbow, feeling how smooth it was.
The first doll smirked, and blushed deeply as she placed her hands over her mystica before she looks to them.
“Something amazing happened last night. Megu and I wake up this morning..and I find that my body has changed. I have a chest now Shinku!..look!”
She was so excited as she leans on Shinku, her defined and firmer breasts press against Shinku gently.
“Oh my God..Suigintou’s got a nice rack now desu” Suisei got a jab in her side from Sousei after that one.
“Wow..Gin how’d it happen?” Jun knelt down and held her hands, he was so happy for her.
Shinku blushed quite deeply feeling Gin’s chest against hers like that and hugged her close. She wondered herself just how it could have happened, and was itching to know the full story. Gin smiles brightly and had no shame in telling her sisters and Jun what she and Megu did last night, after they had a small fight. Say what you want, but Suigintou does love Megu. Once the others heard what Gin and her medium did, they all blushed deeply. Hina however had no clue of what went on, she was just happy that Gin was so happy.
“So..wow...you and Megu huh?...” Jun was speechless, and trying not to picture it either.
“That’s wonderful Suigintou; I suppose this is one of the steps to becoming Alice”
Shinku had blushed deeply again, she couldn’t get over how beautiful Gin had become; well she was before, but now even more so. They were all sitting on the couch together; Gin was showing off her knees and giggling about how good she feels. Suisei got a little jealous since the first sister was the very first to have grown up so much, but then she was happy for her, and admired her new looks.
“You’ve got brown in your eyes like Megu-chan desu, I think you might start to look like her after a while desu!” Suisei giggled.
Suigintou blushed and tried not to blush so deeply, but she couldn’t help herself now, she was truly becoming more and more like a young lady. Even as she sat there with Jun and her sisters, she just had this grown up look about her.
Jun couldn’t help but look to Gin, his eyes had wandered to her cleavage a moment, hey the boy can look cant he? Suigintou grins and leans against him, her chest pressing against his arm as she hugged herself close to him. When Gin was getting ready to leave, she still had a stop over at Arianna’s to make before she headed back to Megu, she hugged her sisters tight and kissed their cheeks, even Jun’s cheek too.
“We’re all so happy for you Suigintou. I know I am” Shinku says as she hugged her tight in return.
The twins had hugged her back and let Gin make her leave, only before hugging Hina so tight.
“I want to be as pretty as Gin-san Na no! I’ll work real hard!!” Hina giggled.
“I know you can do it Hina” Gin pats her head gently before she headed out to find Arianna and her girls to tell them the good news.
As Gin flies to Ari’s home that evening, she hums Megu’s song to herself, getting a warm feeling in her chest, She had spotted below her, Rein coming back from the hospital. She had wondered if everything was alright, and decided to end her visits for the night, and return to Megu, just in case. Landing on the window sill, she found the window was closed again. No big deal she thought, she’d wait patiently. Peeking in she saw the nurses doing their usual tending to Megu, everything seemed alright. Satisfied that Megu was perfectly fine, she continues on her way to Ari’s home. Once there she hopped in the window in the living room.
“So sorry to intrude, but I have wonderful news everyone” She goes about the same way as she did over Jun’s home, getting pretty much the same reaction here as she got over there. Kira ran up and gave Gin a tight hug, and pulled back, admiring Gin’s new look.
“Onee-sama is gorgeous” Kira rested her head against her gently.
“Damn right, look at you Gin-chan, this is great!” Shaina was very excited for her as well as Bara, who shyly blushed as she stood beside Shaina.
“Yes.....she’s truly and Angel” Bara said softly.
Suigintou held her two friends and youngest sister tightly. When she saw Ari she smirked and looked up to her, and winked.
“Well what’s going on here ladies? Oh Suigintou, what’s up Hun?” Ari knelt down to her, and noticed right away the change.
“Goodness, someone’s been drinking their milk...Gin you look great! So this must be the first stop on the road to becoming Alice, I’m impressed! And I think your Father would be too” Ari held Gin close and picked her up a moment.
“I hope so; I want him to see how I’ve grown!” Gin rested against Ari a moment.
“Oh I think he has a good idea, he’s proud of you Suigintou, and so am I....you’ve had some rocky spots but, I think you’ll turn out all right”
Ari ruffled Gin’s soft hair playfully, before Gin whispers to Ari just how she was able to achieve this shape. Much to Ari’s surprise, after hearing what she and Megu did, the young woman did a double take and set her down, patting her backside.
“Little imp, you run along, and go back to Megu before she gets lonely” Ari winked to her as Gin left.
“What’d she say?” Bara asked as she tugged on Ari’s pant leg.
“I....Uhh..I’ll tell you girls when you’ll understand it a little more...its complicated” She needed a drink now after that one.
Gin zipped quickly back up to Megu’s window, found it to still be closed. She peeked in again and noticed Megu wasn’t there. Gin figured the nurses took Megu down to the cafeteria for some real food for a change. Suigintou gripped the window and slides it open herself. After that feat, she was a little worn out, that window was heavy to slide. Sitting on the bed she crossed her legs and turns on the TV. She could hear the shower running in the bathroom, and hearing Megu’s soft song.
Knowing where her medium was, Gin felt better and not so paranoid. With a small grin she got up and peeked inside to see what Megu was doing. Just taking a bath, the water had stopped and Megu was leaning back in the tub as she sang her song to herself.
Gin smiled and watched her for a moment, before shutting the door again and waiting on the bed. Megu had spotted out of the corner of her eye, Suigintou peek in and leave, she pouted a little when Gin didn’t ask to join her. Gin was curious however, and made her way back to the bathroom door and peeked in once more. Now she had done this one other time, but that was before she grew closer to Megu.
“I didn’t think you’d sneak in on me, Gin you’re naughty sometimes” Megu chuckles
“You have no idea just how naughty I can be Megu-chan”
Gin’s eyes held that naughty glint which was shown last night. She walked up to the tub and sat on the edge, looking down to Megu in her bubble bath, her body covered in strategic places by suds, that made Gin pout a little.
“So did you tell your sisters about what happened? I bet they were jealous” Megu said as she leans back again.
“Oh they were at first, but everyone was so happy for me and for the both of us as well. I still can’t believe....what we did. It felt like a dream...” Gin’s cheeks tinted a deep pink as she reached over and held Megu’s cheek.
“I know I had a dream a while back that was very similar, only you were in full human size...and very breathtakingly beautiful. My imagination ran away with me that night” She’d giggle and flick some suds on to Gin’s nose.
Gin scrunched her nose and blew off the suds and smiles to Megu again, being careful as to not fall into the tub with her dress on. She sighs happily and both lean in closer, Megu kissing Gin very softly before Gin left to wait for her.
“She’s so cute....and wonderful...and perfect....” Megu says to herself as she relaxes once more.
I finished reading your latest chapters. Exciting battle. Very good story so far.
The new arc, The Myouyaku Arc (The Wonder Drug Arc), features on some of the left out characters, Shinku, Yuna, Tomoe, Suiseiseki and Jun. Kira, Megu and Gin won't be in the spotlight for awhile because the last two arcs were about them.
I feel this one hits a little close to Higurashi, with the needle in the food and the scratching your neck to death, something that was vaguely show in the first arc when Hina and Sui fought.

Partially based on Chapter 21 and 22 of Megu-chan's story, because I'm a uncreative tard ;D
Spoiler:
Jigomaku took a few steps backward, gasping a little. Suigintou loomed over her, intending to make the killing blow.
"Hmph...interesting. You claim I'm cruel...yet it is ironic that you are the one who says that." Jigomaku said, her left eye glaring at the black figure floating over her.
"You destroyed Barasuishou...harmed Megu...that's why I would never forgive you."
"We are dolls, destined to play in the Alice Game. Nothing more, nothing less. What's wrong with sabotaging one's medium to gain an advantage?... What do the humans say? Ahh.."All's fair in love and war."
"We do not have to fight to become Alice." With that, Suigintou made a wide slash with her sword, but Jigo dodged it.
"Funny it's you who says that..who was the one scheming to get rid of the other Maidens? What a hypocrite..." Jigo danced dantily, irritating Suigintou furthur.
She then suddenly stopped and said "I have no time to play with you, Suigintou. Let's get this over with." She summoned both her crystal swords.
"Very well. I'll oblige!" And with that, she lunged at the other as they resumed their dance.
