Chapter 22 : Calling Card

Xxxxxx

After we get out that Palace , we bring Kitagawa at the Diner's place . Kitagawa told us about all Madarame plagiarism his pupil's ideas .

"After everything he did for me . . ."Kitagawa said .

"Why didn't you leave Madarame ?"Ann asked .

" He is the one who painted Sayuri . Plus , I owed him a great debt . "

"You mean 'cause he raised you ?" Ryuji ask .

"I never knew my father . I was too my mother raised me by herself , but she died in an accident when I was three . "

You gasped .

"That's when he took me in ." Kitagawa said that Madarame helped his mother when she was still alive . "To be honest , I don't really remember . "

" You've been through a lot , huh ?"Ryuji said .

"" It's just as Takamaki-san said . Part of me realize the truth . That's why I so vehemently denied you . I simply ran away from it . I'm sorry ." Kitagawa said feeling guilty .

" You're way too serious , man . "Ryuji said . "That what you got you so bogged down . "

"What will you do now ? " Ren-nii ask as Kitagawa just looked down .

" Ain't it obvious ? "

"We can change his heart . "Mona explain . "We can make Madarame stone for his own crimes ."

"The Phantom Thieves of Hearts , huh ? "Kitagawa said as Ren-nii just smile at him .

"Let me join the Phantom Thieves!"Kitagawa exclaimed .

" Now you're talking ! " Ryuji said as you nod .

"Glad to have you , Yusuke ! "Ann smile to him .

"We have a new member in Phantom Thieves now ! " You exclaim happily .

" Welcome aboard ! "Ren-nii smile .

"Thanks . " Yusuke said . Then he wonder about Mona can talk . He push the button on the table to calling the waiter because he want eat black bean jelly just looking at Mona .

"Yusuke , you still need a code name ." Mona said .

" It's gotta be 'Kitsune' . "Ann suggest before she looked at Yusuke . "Your Phantom Thieves name . any Ideas ? "

Yusuke think for a while . "DaVinci . I'd say . "

"Nope . "Ryuji said . " Well , you've got that mask and the weird tail . . . . All right , you're Abura-age ! "

" That's . . . "Ann giggle as you just smile hearing that .

Yusuke agree that name but you and Ann didn't agree .

"Do you have any ideas , Rin - Chan ?" Ann asked you .

"Hmmm . . . . . . Inari ? " You answer .

"Back to foxes again ! "

"Any other ideas , Ren-nii ? "

"Fox . " Ren-nii quickly answer .

"Sound good to me . "You nod .

"What do you think , Fox ? " Mona looking at Yusuke .

"Then it's settle ! "

"I wonder what form it will take . ."Fox wondering .

" Who knows ? Bet it's something like a self-potrait . "

"The source of what distorted Madarame's reality this much . " Fox said as Joker telling we need to go back .

"A calling card , him ? Will he take it seriously . . "Yusuke said .
"He is famous , after all . . He has often received slanderous letter till now , as well . "

" He'll know best whether the crime written on it is for real or not . "Ryuji said as he show his phone to us .

"Wait , are you going to write it again , Ryuji ? " Mona ask .

"You should do it then , Yusuke ! Make it really artistic and stuff ! "Ann said to Yusuke .
