Clueless
By Chibinaoka

As I sat down near Asuka Jr., he though about my question. At first he said he didn't know anything about any flowers that bloomed in the winter but after he thought about it, he began to tell me a story his mom told him when he was little. He began to tell about the story of how snow got its color. His dark green eyes looked so focus. The sun bouncing off the snow around us and shinning on his dark green hair. I couldn't take my gaze off of him. He turned to me and smiled as he told the end of the story. I couldn't help but blush and my heart skip a beat. His smile was so sweet, so gentle. I didn't understand why I felt this way. I bounced up as I realized that the story was relevant to what I wanted to know. I turned and asked him: "What kind of flower was it!?" He simply started ahead, thinking again. Looking so focused once more. "I forget." He says. I can't believe him! Being so serious one minute then clueless the next. "ARRGH! You remember everything except the important part!" I shout while stomping away angerly.

Suddenly, I slip and began to fall. "Look Out!" Asuka Jr. tries to grab my hand to prevent me from falling. But it's too late and we both fall. His hand. It grabbed mine, just like in my dream. The one I had the night before. In my dream he had seen my face as Saint Tail and was angry at me for not telling him the truth. We both stay still for a while, sitting on the cold snow. But the cold doesn't bother me right now. I'm in Asuka Jr's arms. I feel warm, content. I'm in his arms. The silenced is shattered by Asuka Jr. asking me why I'm getting so worked up about a little flower. I blush and tell him I wanted to know plain and simple. I jump back up. My heart is beating a little fasted and he looks up at me. He doesn't understand, I can't tell by the clueless look on his face. He never understands. He's always so clueless. I can never tell him; he can never know. I can't let him catch me. Not just for the obvious reasons but because he might hate me if he knew the truth. I think to myself as I'm staring down at him.

I thank him and walk away. In the distance I can't hear him talk to himself. "What in the world...was that all about?" He asks himself. As I'm walking away my thoughts race threw my mine. My heart beating, my dream become clear again, the conversation fresh in my mine and Asuka Jr's accidental embrace. But I now know he can never know he can never catch me. If he found out the truth, that I, Meimi Haneoka, am really Saint Tail he'd...If he knew, he would hate me. And I don't want him to hate me. I want him to stay clueless. Clueless to the fact that I'm Saint Tail and that I love him. At least I think I love him, but if I do love him, why would I want him to stay clueless? Sometimes I think I'm clueless about my true feelings for Asuka Jr. All this is swirling in my mind as I head for the chapel to inform what I know to Seira.

The End
