A/N: HiYa!! Yeah Yeah, REALLY late update...I guess you could say that I have been pining over ideas over what to write, but that would be lying. I have just been to lazy, and with homework and everything, I don't really have time to go on the computer...^^; yet another lie... Okay how about this. I have been busy writing my next masterpiece? It is going to be a InuYasha fic, and it is in the writing process faze(sp?). But HEY!! I'm actually sitting down and writing, okay typing, this chapter. It was kind of hard for me to get this chapter out, because I think it may be the last one. I don't actually know yet *runs away from flying kitchen objects* GOMEN! I have a basic idea, but no leads yet. If any of you want to chip in ideas, I would be so grateful!! But anyways, here is this chapter and once my InuYasha fic comes out I hope to see that many of you will review to that one also. And, (this is becoming wayy to long) I just got back from the Bahamas and my camp, so I have been home for a week. I know that a lot of you have been harping me about getting this chapter out, so I am going to spend a lot of time writing this in the next couple days to please you.

Disclaimer: I do not own St. Tail =(. The brilliant mind of Megumi Tachikawa does, and I am just a lowly servant ;). ( Although, I do want to own InuYasha! InuYasha wa KAWAII desu!!!)

Storm

Chapter 4

Asuka couldn't take his emerald eyes off the sapphire ones in front of him that held so much emotion and love, that he couldn't tear his own eyes away. He unconsciously held the girl closer, as if to brush his soul with hers. He felt his heart warm and swell as he heard her say those three small words again. I love you. Asuka lifted one of his hands, and gently wiped away a stray tear that fell from Meimi's beautiful pools of blue. He gave her a heart felt smile, and answered to her call. "I love you too. I love you so much, it hurts."

As she listened to him return what she had said, many more tears had slowly spilled out of her eyes. She laughed quietly and wrapped her arms around his neck. She felt him shift slightly, as he picked her up off the couch. "Where are we going Asuka?"

"To your room." Asuka smiled down on her as he headed up the staircase. He felt Meimi tuck her nose in between his neck and shoulder, and couldn't get the thought of her lips against his neck out of his head. The light smell of roses lifted to his nose, and he breathed in deeply. To him, that scent reminded him of St. Tail. He lightly shook his head, saying to himself that Meimi couldn't be St. Tail.

'I know that somewhere deep inside him, he knows who I really am... but I am afraid to tell him if he doesn't know. And if he doesn't know, I don't want him to hate me!' Thoughts like these were cluttered inside Meimi's head. A few more tears had made their way down her cheeks and then were soaked up by Asuka's collar. She took a deep breath to help stop the tears and took a deep breath full of Asuka's cologne. "You smell nice." She voiced aloud.

Asuka blushed and kept heading towards Meimi's room. "I think what you are smelling is 'Axe' it is a new type of "body deodorant" from America."

"Oh, but wasn't it expensive?" she inquired softly.

"I don't know, my dad's friend got it for me when he was on a trip to California." Asuka shrugged a little, which made Meimi's head bounce a bit.

Meimi stayed silent and just breathed deeply. Soon thereafter, Meimi fell asleep. Held in the arms of her true love, surrounded by his warmth. Feeling protected, and cared for. True she had been dreading the day of when she had to tell Asuka about her being St. Tail, but now, for one she hoped that he had figured out that it was her, but she knew that since he loved her so deeply now, that it didn't matter. Even if she told him, he would still love her for who she is and not who she was. While she was sleeping/thinking she felt Asuka's warmth leave her. She opened her sapphire eyes and had to blink a few times to get used to the darkness of the room. "Asuka, where are you?"

The room was silent for a few minutes, then a voice behind her told her to climb into her bed. Silently she complied and climbed under the covers of her semi-small bed. Meimi heard some rustling next to her and felt the mattress sink down. An arm draped over her hips and pulled her so that her back was pressed tight against Asuka's chest. A slight blush covered her cheeks, but she paid no attention. Everything, all her senses, were being toyed with as warm breath tickled the back of Meimi's neck.

"Ano, Asuka?" To Meimi, her voice sounded distant, and scared. But obviously Asuka didn't notice ((Baka Asuka...gaaa! I rhymed ()).

"What?" He tightened his arm and pulled her even closer to him, burring his nose in her sweet smelling hair. The scent of roses rushed into his mind, heart and soul.

"I have something that I need to tell you, something that I have been hiding." Meimi's heart was pounding now. She was mustering up all the courage that she had, just to tell him that she is...was St. Tail. Meimi's breath was short and wheezy almost. "I...I...I'mSt.Tail!"

Asuka stopped and wasn't sure that he had heard his Meimi correctly. If he had, to him it would be a big deal. The thief that he had been chasing since 8th grade had been in front of him the entire time, and he had never noticed. "Meimi-chan, could you repeat that please. I wasn't sure of what you said, but it sounded like you said that you were St. Tail."

Meimi stayed silent, yet nodded her head. Small, slow tears had made their way out of her eyes, and quietly fell down her cheeks. 'Oh, God, he hates me now, I just know it. This is the reason that I never wanted him to know.' Meimi pulled out of Asuka's grasp and moved towards the wall, where she proceeded to curl up in the fetal position. Her shoulders were slightly trembling.

Asuka stayed still. He never actually thought that his little Meimi was actually the mysterious St. Tail. The moonlight shining through the window, displayed a scene to Asuka that he never thought was possible. Meimi, his Meimi, was afraid. Her lithe form was shaking, and she had moved as far away from him as possible. He paid more attention to the quietness of the room, but heard quiet sobs coming from Meimi. It hurt him to see her like this. With her back to him, not talking but crying, and trembling. He scooted closer to her, but only to have her try to make herself as small as possible. "Meimi."

'He isn't leaving, why? I thought that he would hate me. Despise me. Never want to see me again.' Meimi's thought process was stopped when Asuka's warm arms pulled her from her previous position, and pulled her up against him. His arms were wrapped around her waist, as if he were afraid of letting go.

"I kind of figured that, I am a detective you know." Meimi laughed quietly, which made Asuka smile. "I still love you, no matter what happens."

"Thank you Asuka. Thank you so much. I was so afraid to tell you. I didn't know how you would react. I guess that if you got up and left, right after I told you, that what you saw in your dream would probably come true. You know, the killing myself part. Because I have come to realize that I live for you, and only you. My heart, body, and soul. I love you Daiki((?)) ((I have only heard it once. If it is wrong, please correct me.))" New tears became apparent whence falling down Meimi's cheeks.

A small smile crept up on Asuka's face as he leaned in and kissed Meimi's wet cheek. "I love you too, Haneoka Meimi."

Meimi turned in Asuka's arms so that she was facing him. She smiled and pushed herself up so that she was eyelevel with Asuka. "I hope that we can be together for a long time."

"Oh, we will be, because I have no intention of letting you go. I finally caught you." Asuka said the last part with a silly grin on his face. Meimi laughed and kissed him deeply.

~*~*2 years later~*~*

"Meimi, you look gorgeous." Seira said quietly. Her chocolate brown eyes wide with amazement.

"Do you really think so?" If you didn't know Meimi, you might think that she was apprehensive, but Seira knew better. Meimi was wearing a white gown that was encrusted with little diamonds. It was backless but tied at the neck ((almost haltertoppy)) and was tight all the way down to about mid- thigh, which from there it flared out, only slightly, so that she could walk normally without being restricted. The bottom trailed about a foot behind her, and she wore 2 inch white heals. Her hair was pulled up on top of her head, in an extravagant bun, with curled tendrils hanging to frame her face. "I can't believe that I am doing this." Meimi took a few deep breaths.

"Don't worry you'll do fine. And the only people who will see you are you, Asuka, God, and I." Seira smiled at her best friend trying to help her out.

"Yeah, you're right." Meimi took one final steadying breath, and headed into the church, where in half an hour she would be starting a new life.
