Chapter Two: The First Heist

Later that afternoon, Meimi walked to the confessional, Asuka's words echoling through her head.
"Welcome, Miss Meimi. You look troubled. In need of salvation after this morning?" Siera asked slyly.
"Salvation!?!?! Salvation my pretty little ass!" Meimi said angrilly. Siera looked at her shocked. Realizing
what she'd done, Meimi crossed herself as a sign of forgiveness. (A/N: I have that problem in church too... :)) "Thanks
to him, I'm seen as a behavioral case! The sisters hate me!" She wailed.
"Poor sweet baby." Siera soothed. "Maybe a lost lamb will help you." She slid a picture through the
confessional's meshand handed it to Meimi. It was a pair of Ruby earrings.
"Sugoi! What's the sitch?" Meimi asked.
"These belong to a caterer on Tenth named An-mei Chang. They're called the Dragon's tears.
They were left to her in her grandmother's will. They're very valuabe, but instead of selling them,
sentimental value means more and she wears them."
"Ohhh, how wonderful!" Memi said eyes shining with tears. "So what happened?"
"Getting there pet. She was catering a party at Kashwamura's. You know, the snooty lady at the other end
of town?" Meimi nodded. "Well her daughter, who's very nice, was talking to An-mei, who told her the story of them.
Excited and eager to learn more of Chinese legends, Ami told her mother this hoping it'd inspire her too. Well it did.
Inspired her to steal them. She keeps them in a jewel box in her room. Ami came here to pray for her mother. She
says that her mother's keeping them untill she finds a buyer with a high enough price. So, will Saint Tail take the job?"
Siera smiled. Meimi looked like she was in a better mood now.
"'Course I'll take it! That's sooo sweet!" Meimi said jumping up and down. She raced off to send her calling
card.

"Shiro, gimme an order of Modern-Yaki." Asuka Jr. said sitting down at the Okonomyaki resturaunt.
"Sure thing kiddo." Shiro said heating up the grill. A few minutes later, he placed a plate in front of
Asuka Jr. Once he did, the lights went out.
"Who's there? I'm warning you, one wrong move and you hit the grill!" Asuka yelled frantically. A few pops
were heard and both men could smell smoke. "What is this?" Seconds later, the lights flickered back on and the smoke
was issuing from Asuka's plate. On the Modern-yaki spelled out in green peppers read:
' Tonight, I will collect the Dragon's tears from the Kashwamura's.
if you dare, come and get me!' -Saint Tail
"Shiro, gotta head home. I have work in a few hours." Asuka ran home. Remembering that his father wasn't
home, he cranked up his CD player and began to sing to the one song that reminded him of the two girls he loved.
"You... doing' that thing you do... breakin' my heart into a million pieces. Like you always doooo..." Asuka danced around
the house singing and dancing to the song many times.

"Are you sure? My prescious earrings? Stolen by the thief Saint Tail?" Kashwamura-sama said worriedly.
"Fraid so M'amm. Mind if I set up watch?" Kashwamura-sama nodded and stepped aside. Asuka headed to
her bedroom and began to pace the floor.

Outside in the trees, Saint Tail prayed. "Lord, keep watch over me, and guide my helping heart. Oh, and
forgive me for cursing in church today." She quickly swung her hat, producing many decoy shadows at every window.
She heard a reaction indoors.
"It's her! She's outside! At the window!"
"No! Over here!"
"HERE! She's here!"
"Stop it! Asuka yelled. "Those are decoys!" He groaned. Just then a scream came from upstairs.
"AHHHHHH! MICE! Fake or not, they're mice! Asuka Jr! Help!" Asuka sighed and ran down the hall.
While he was gone, Saint Tail slid in. Using her cards, she popped open the lock.
"There you are! Gotcha this time!" Saint Tail turned to see Asuka Jr. Standing in front of her in the dark.
She quickly grabbed the earrings and headed for the window.
"My balloon! Well my wonderful audience of stars, I take my leave!" She got on the trapeeze and drifted off.
"No! I'll capture you! I'll see who you are!" Asuka Jr. yelled. He was hanging onto the rope of the balloon.
"Sorry. I can't let you do that!" Saint Tail said blushing. She quickly cut the rope, and giggled as Asuka Jr.
landed in a person's Rose bushes below. 'Poor baby.' She thought. "You never learn do ya? I'm too smart for you!" She
shouted down at him. Asuka grumbled below as he watched the balloon float off.
"I'll get you..." He grumbled blushing and bleeding from scratches on his face. "Next time!"
Saint Tail floated to Chang-sama's window and opened it. "Here you go miss. Keep your grandmother close."
And with those words, she floated away into the moonlight.
