Lessons Never Learned



Disclaimer: Megumi's lucky, I'm not, Saint Tail's cool, Asuka Jr.'s hot.



Chapter One: Early Morning Fights

"Stop her! she's escaping!" A man yelled into the darkness. The security guards and Asuka

Jr raced out of the

building only to watch Saint Tail float away on her balloon into the darkness.



"Thanks for the necklace! It looks lovely on me, and better on it's true owner!" Saint

Tail waved. "Applause, my audience of stars!" She pouted at the scilence. 'I never get any...'

She thought. On the ground, Asuka and the police dealt with the con man.

"Well, she did it again! Meimi! Seen the paper?" Ryoko asked as Meimi and Siera as they

walked in. Meimi grinned as she bounced over to Asuka Jr.

"So, out smarted again Jr?" She asked. "I always told you Saint Tail was too smart for

ya!" She gloated sticking

her tongue out at him.

"Shut up Haneoka. At least she's smarter than you! And prettier I'd bet." Asuka said

angrilly. a split second later, Memi hit him with her history book. "What was that for you little

oaf?!?!" He yelled through a nosebleed.

"Lemme at him! I'll tear him to shreds! He can't talk to me that way Siera!" Meimi

shrieked struggling against her friend's grip. Asuka was doing the same.

"Meimi! Daiki! How many times have I told you? No fighting!" The sister said as she

entered the room. Everyone scurried to their seats, leaving the dueling pair in the middle of the

floor, Asuka's nose still bleeding a bit. "Youtwo know the drill: outside. All period this time."

The sister handed them the buckets behind her desk. As they walked out,Asuka grabbed Meimi's

wrist. A feeling of shock ran through them both.The class held its breath.

"W-what? What is it?" Meimi asked warily.

"This's your bucket. You've got mine." Asuka said blushing slightly. He showed her his

bucket. Indeed, it

was Meimi's. It had dents from where she tried to beat Asuka Jr. in the head with it and a grove

in the handle from her gripping it so hard at times. Meimi looked at the underside of the bucket

in her hand. It was dented from Asuka holding it on his head so much.



"Indeed that is my bucket." Meimi said with a blushing smile. 'Why did his touch feel

sooo good?' She wondered. "Here! I knew it felt funny!" They swapped buckets and blushed even

deeper. A cough from the sister snapped them back to attention. She pointed to the hall, where

Asuka walked out still holding Meimi's hand. "Lemme go!" She hissed pulling her hand away. She

stalked down the hall to the bathroom to fill the bucket. While she was gone, Asuka did some

thinking.

'Why is this happening? It's just Meimi. She's not pretty.' He thought. "Yes she is.

Reminds you of the ponytail." His inner voice said. 'Ok, so I like her. Shut up.'

"Lord, why are there no good guys in the world? Why must I be pestered by bugs like him?"

Meimi asked returning from the bathroom. Her gaze landed on Asuka Jr. and she sulked further. She

watched as an odd look flicked across his face. "Great, now he's heard me and'll tease me more."

She grumbled, reaching the spot where he stood. Jr. went and filled his bucket and was back

quickly, balancing it on his head.

"You know, if you keep fighting like an ugly tomboy, you'll never marry." He said smugly.

"Saint Tail is worth a DOZEN, no, TWO DOZEN of you Haneoka!" Meimi growled and swung her bucket

at him, miraculously not spilling a drop.

"Saint Tail'd never fall for a loser like you!" She hissed.
