Hey ppls ^_^ I finally got a review, so now its time to continue the story...I'll try to make this one with a lil romantic

*Disclaimer: I don't own Saint Tail.I wish I did though Dena had finally recovered from her fever and returned to school with Masahiro and was surprisingly not late. "Well, well, look who's back from the dead," said Masami Tenkida. "Looks like the love birds are reunited once again."

Once again, a vein popped out of Dena's head, "Would you stop saying that already?! It's really getting old you know."

Aivi pushed Masahiro forward and whispered, "Well, you better go defend your girl."

"What?! This is nuts! You too?" Masahiro asked with a sweat drop on his head while staring shocked at Aivi.

"Oh, come on, Masahiro, we all know you like Dena. You just need to cross that line between "friend and friendlier," said Aivi.

"What garbage are you spouting out? You know Dena and me are best friends. I'm sure she'll find someone nice," said Masahiro.

Once everyone got seated in class Sister Seira got ready to make an announcement, "Okay, class, it looks like we have a new transfer student today. Everybody say hello to Mr. Rohiroshi Azuma."

Rohiroshi Azuma was a tall, handsome boy with dark blue hair. All the girls' eyes started to glow. "Nice to meet all of you," he said.

Masahiro heard Dena talking to one of her friends behind him, "Oh, he's such a cutie!"

Aivi, who was sitting right next to Masahiro, tapped him on the shoulder, "So, are you at least a little worried now?" she asked. Masahiro gulped.

During Lunch.

All the guys were gathered around one side of the classroom, introducing themselves all to the new student, while the girls were on the other side, scoping out the new cute boy. "So, where are you from, Azuma?" asked one of the boys.

"Actually, I've come from America. My father is in the military and got stationed here in Seika City," he promised we'd be here for a while.

Meanwhile the girls were talking their own talk. "Why don't you go talk to that new guy, Dena?" asked one of the girls, Gyoko.

"No!" Aivi interrupted, though she didn't intend to say it out loud. *Oh geez, what am I saying? As if that's going to work!*

"Oh, never mind Aivi. Go, Dena," said Gyoko once more, pushing Dena over to where the boys are.

"Hey, Masahiro, your girl is coming over," teased the boys.

"Stop that, you guys, we're just friends," said Masahiro.

"Well, in that case, may I introduce myself to her?" Azuma asked.

Dena had nervously walked up to the new student. "Hi, my name is Dena, um Dena Asuka. It's nice to meet you."

"How do you do, miss. It's nice to finally speak to one of the girls in this class. May I call you Dena? You may call me Rohiroshi if you'd like."

Dena put a bright smile one her face, "That'd be great."

One of the boys then poked Masahiro, "You better watch out before he steals Dena, Masahiro." Masahiro bonked him on the head but hoped that Dena wouldn't get stolen away deep inside.

After School.

Dena and Masahiro both went to the nearby craft store to buy a new notebook. "Oh, wasn't that new guy Rohiroshi something Masahiro?" Dena asked.

"Yeah, um, really something," Masahiro mumbled sarcastically.

"You don't seem to like him that much," said Dena. She poked Masahiro's cheeks. "You know, if I wasn't your best friend, I'd say you were jealous, Masahiro."

"Oh, don't be silly, you're free to like whoever you like and I'm free to like whoever I like," said Masahiro.

"I don't like him. By the way.who do you like, Masahiro?" Dena asked. That was actually the first time she had ever asked him that question.

"Well, um," *badum* "I, um," *badum* Masahiro finally came up with an answer, "No one. I like no one." He then walked forward and opened the door to the shop.

Dena walked in and quickly headed over to where the notebooks were while Masahiro followed. She picked out a cute notebook with a little bear holding a heart then looked up at Masahiro, "This is really bugging me. Everyone likes somebody, Masahiro. Now spill!"

*I guess I'm not getting out of this one* thought Masahiro. "Okay, well, the truth is. I do like someone. But, that doesn't mean I'm going to tell you," he said.

"Fine," said Dena. She stuck out her tongue at Masahiro for a little bit.

In the chapel.

"You see, Dena, Kei is going to a ski tournament in Europe," said Sister Seira.

Flash Back

"Sister, I can't go to the tournament without those goggles. My grandfather gave them to me my first tournament ever. One of my opponents stole it who is also going to the tournament because he knows that I choke without those goggles," said the worried voice of Kei.

End Flashback

"Oh, that's so terrible," said Dena, "If someone close to me gave me something precious I would sure hate to get it stolen."

"Yeah, tell me about it," said Masahiro.

"Listen, Dena, Kei will be taking the 9:15 train tomorrow in order for him to make it to his flight on time," said Seira.

"Well, I guess it's time for Dark Rosary to save the day once again ^_^," said Dena, holding up a "V for VICTORY" sign. Masahiro and Seira sweat- dropped.

Beginning of school.

Everyone had just gotten into class and it was about 10 minutes till school actually started. Tenkida was sitting at her desk with her chin rested on her arms. *I don't get it. It can't just be a coincidence. It's not everyday your sworn enemy and a mystery thief say the exact same phrase in the same day* she thought to herself. "*whisper* she just has to be the Dark Rosary or at least has to know her. It has to be Asuka."

"What are you whispering about?" said Masahiro, who apparently heard the little predicament.

"Sawatari! I was just, um, rehearsing some lines for a play," said Tenkida, with a lame lie.

"But I could have sworn I heard you say-"

"I just told you what I said, now leave me alone!" Tenkida snapped. She then opened her desk to reveal big surprise. "Wagh!"

Aivi turned around to see what was up. "Look, everyone, it's a calling card from the Dark Rosary!"

"Dark who?" Rohiroshi asked.

"Dark Rosary. She's the thief that roams at knight. Masami Tenkida has been trying to capture her for quite some time now," said Aivi.

Tenkida carefully read the calling card Tonight I will be at the Akimoto residence to steal a pair of goggles- Dark Rosary " I really haven't been getting her calling cards lately. First a top and now a pair goggles?" Tenkida inquired to herself.

" !_! Well, maybe she has a good reason to steal those things!" Dena blurted out.

Tenkida looked at Dena curiously. *What is she getting so worked up about? * She decided to test her theory, "Oh, and why do you all of a sudden know a lot? You wouldn't happen to know whom Dark Rosary is, do you?"

*Oh, no, maybe I said too much* Dena thought. "No, I just happen to think happen to have my own opinion on why she steals things," she said.

"Well, then I happen to support Miss Dena's personal opinion," said Rohiroshi.

"^_^ Really? Oh, thank you, Rohiroshi," said Dena with a bright smile on her face.

Masahiro all of sudden got a huge punch of anger and jealousy. That's when he stood forward, "Then I support Dena too!"

" _+ You mean you didn't support me from the beginning, Masahiro?!" she quickly raged.

Masahiro sweat-dropped and waved his arms in front of his face, "No, no, that's not what I meant, Dena."

After school. (AU: There are sure a lot of scene changes in this one ^_^)

Masahiro and Dena were just leaving the school. "Geez, you didn't have hit me that hard. I said that it wasn't what I meant," said Masahiro as he was rubbing a bump on his head.

"I'm sorry v_v* I thought you would dodge," said Dena.

" _! Dodge that speed of light punch?!"

"Hey, I said sorry!" said Dena, sticking out her tongue.

"Hello, You guys," said the voice of Rohiroshi, who was right behind Dena and Masahiro. "Miss Dena, I was wondering if I may walk you home."

"Me?" Dena asked. *What a stupid question! * "I would love to, but Masahiro and I always walk home together."

"Oh, I understand," said Rohiroshi. "I guess, I'll be off then."

"Bye," Dena waved.

Masahiro and Dena started walking again, down the street. "You could have walked with him if you wanted to, you know," Masahiro finally said to break deep silence.

"I would have.that is if you came with me. I didn't want to walk him alone," said Dena.

" T_T You, know last time I checked, walking dates are supposed with two people alone," said Masahiro.

"So, I may be attracted to the guy, but I barely no him! Who knows.maybe he is really a psycho rapist," said Dena, over exaggerating just a tad bit.

"Oh, please. Snap back to reality for a second, would you," said Masahiro.

"Well like I said, I am attracted to Rohiroshi, but I don't think I see him as anymore than just friends for now, until I get to know him better, so a walking date is out of the question v_v," said Dena.

*Boy, you don't know how much of a relief that is.* Masahiro thought to himself. They had finally reached Dena's house. "Well, then I'll see you tonight, Dark Rosary," said Masahiro giving Dena a little wave. "Count on it, Reporter Sawatari," said Dena, waving back. "Oh, wait. Take this, Masahiro." Dena handed him the notebook, still wrapped, that she had bought the other at the store.

"What's that for?" Masahiro asked.

"It's for the girl you like. Give this to her, and I'm sure she'll love it," said Dena.

Masahiro smiled, "Well, then you keep it.until I work up the courage to give it to her that is."

"Okay ^_^" said Dena.

Masahiro left and Dena finally shut the door. "Slick move of Masahiro," said Meimi.

Dena turned around, "Huh, what do you mean, Mom?"

"I mean, Masahiro just gave that notebook to the person he likes," said Meimi. "Sometimes you are just so carefree that you don't notice when a guy likes you, Dena, but I guess that's what makes you so cute."

"Huh?" Dena said, still totally clueless. *Masahiro likes me? No, he couldn't, at least I think he couldn't. *

Akimoto residence.

Tenkida was once again annoyed to see that Masahiro was once again there, ready to take another picture of Dark Rosary. "Agh! Sawatari, haven't you gotten enough photos?"

"A couple of photos for my article should do," said Masahiro.

"Oh, whatever," said Tenkida. She then called out, "Listen up, I want you to guard every inch of this place. We won't let her escape this time! The owner is counting on us to keep these goggles safe." Though, Tenkida said all that, the guards were still not obeying. "What's wrong? Why aren't you all moving?"

"C-Can't m-m-move," said one of the guards.

"Huh?" said Tenkida.

"Paralysis powder!" Masahiro said. "Don't let your 'guard' down. Haha Get it? Don't let your--"

Tenkida bonked him on the head, "This is not time to joke around." She clutched the goggle in her hand.

"Ouch! Twice in one day." *Maybe I could make a career in acting. *

Tenkida looked up, "Show your self, Dark Rosary. I know you're here!"

Dark Rosary giggled from above. "Why come down, when it's so fun to watch you from up here. 1.2.3! ~ Snow storm!~" Dark Rosary caused an illusion blizzard inside the house .

"What the?! I can't see a thing!" shouted Tenkida.

The fake storm finally ended, and Tenkida found out that the goggles were no longer in her hand. "I'm sorry, Masami Tenkida, but I must take these goggles back to their rightful owner."

Dark Rosary disappeared out of sight, and Tenkida looked out of the window. "She's climbing on the rooftops!" Tenkida ran outside and borrowed one of the officers' bikes. She followed Dark Rosary and soon got close behind her. "Stop right there, Dark Rosary!"

*I need to lose her. She sure doesn't give up easily. * Dark Rosary thought to herself. "One. two.three! ~Teddy Bear Attack! ~"

"You've got to be kidding me," said Tenkida from down below. A bunch of Teddy Bears came falling down, causing Tenkida to lose control of the bike, and cause the path to block. "Oh, shoot!"

"At least I got away ^_^," said Dark Rosary. She looked at the clock on the tower. " 9:07. enough fun and games I guess. 1.2.3.!" and *poof* A set of balloons were in Dark Rosary's hand, allowing her to leap faster, higher, and farther. "I should get there just in time now." She headed straight over to the top of the train station where she saw Kei, his coach and some of his teammates.

"Well, I'm going to need a lot of support and cheering from you guys with my goggles that Grandpa gave me gone," said Kei.

"You don't need goggles to prove that you can win, Kei. You have the talent," said one of his teammates.

Kei then saw a pair of silver goggles tied up to a couple of balloons float down from the sky. "Grandpa's goggles! God has answered my prayers! Alright team, I'm ready to go to the tournament!"

"Alright, that's the spirit, Kei!" ~~~~~~~~~ *Sigh* "What a night. Now time to go home," said Dark Rosary.

Dena finally changed out of her costume and came to her front door, where she saw Masahiro. "She almost got you that time," he said.

"Yeah, I guess I have to be more careful for now on. Tenkida is getting good. *Yawn* But, I'll worry about that later. Right now it's time for shut eye," Dena.

"Yeah, I guess I'll be heading home," said Masahiro.

"Okay." He walked down to the street. "Um, Masahiro."

"Yeah?"

"Uh, Oh, nothing. Goodnight," said Dena.

"Okay, goodnight," said Masahiro as he walked off with a puzzled look on his face.

Sadly the next morning at school.

"What's wrong, Tenkida?" Aivi asked the sulking girl who looked dead laying down on her desk.

"I WAS SOOOOO CLOSE!!!" She shouted with anime tears.

AU: I beat my record! Oh, nvrm v_v. well you know the drill ~_^. all I need is one review and I'll continue the story, and please review because I already have another chapter in my head.
