Hello everyone.time to update to chapter 6 ^_^

Disclaimer: I don't own Saint Tail or any of the original characters.but I do own the new ones!!

This chapter is going to have two parts to it, so unless you review, part two of this story won't happen for a while.

Morning at Asuka residence.

Dena walked downstairs to the kitchen where Meimi was fixing up breakfast. " Hey, mom, did Masahiro get here yet?"

Meimi looked back at her daughter. "Oh, that's right. I remember now," she said as she dried her hands, after washing some dishes.

"Huh?" Dena asked, confused.

"Masahiro called today to ask you if you could walk to school on your own today."

Dena suddenly stopped everything she was doing. "Oh, really? That's unlike him. I don't really remember ever walking to school or home without Masahiro," she said, causing herself to frown, only to find herself quickly recovering. " ^_^ Well, it will be a good experience!"

Dena quickly ate her breakfast and hastily ran out the door. She walked for a few minutes, only to find that she had no clue where she was going. "*anime tears* I don't how to get to school!" she exclaimed. * I always walked with Masahiro to school since day one v_v. I never actually took the time to remember the route! *

Suddenly Dena heard a voice behind her. "Asuka, is that you?" She turned to see Tenkida standing before her.

*Tenkida! I'm saved! Wait, what the heck am I saying?! * Dena thought in her head. "Yes, Tenkida. You have good eyes," she said sarcastically.

" Whatever. Where's your boyfriend? I heard he dumped you," said Tenkida, with her arms folded.

"Tenkida, how many times do I have to tell you that Masahiro is just a-! Wait what do you mean dumped me?" Dena asked.

"Oh, you know. This weekend Sawatari hooked up with Aivi."

Dena stood frozen and shocked, "W-What?!"

"What, you mean you didn't know? I thought Sawatari was your best friend?" Tenkida asked the frozen girl. "Asuka? Yo, Asuka, are you okay?"

Dena shook her shock off. "Um, yeah I'm fine. Tenkida, you think you could show me the way to school?"

"Huh?" Tenkida asked. * Geez this girl must be in shock. She doesn't even remember how to get to school. v_v Asuka is losing it! * "I guess I could be nice just this once." * I can't risk you running into the street *

"Uh, thanks, I guess," said Dena, following Tenkida as they started to walk. * Why didn't Masahiro tell me? I thought I was his best friend?"

At school.

Everyone besides Tenkida and Dena where already at the classroom, waiting for homeroom to start. It took a lot of people by surprise to both Dena and Masami Tenkida walking in the room at the same time. "Did I just see what I thought I saw?" Gyoko asked Rohiroshi.

" I think we're both hallucinating," he replied.

Tenkida walked up to Masahiro. " You could have at least had the decency to give Asuka directions before ditching her, Sawatari," she said to him.

Dena had a questionable look on her face as she faced Masahiro. "Uh, hi, Dena. Look, sorry about that. I thought you knew how to get to school, honestly." Dena gave Masahiro one last quick, cold stare then looked down and walked over to Gyoko and Rohiroshi.

"Yikes, that wasn't pretty," said Aivi, who was standing right next Masahiro.

"I guess I should have told her first v_v," Spoke Masahiro's guilt.

Aivi quickly slapped him across the back of his head. "Masahiro, this is no time for a guilt trip! It's only been the morning and you're already beginning to give in. Man, haven't you ever acted before?!" Aivi said.

Masahiro just looked at Aivi. * You have no idea * he thought to himself. "But, still. She is my best friend, but she was the last to find out about 'us'. I don't want her to hate me for it."

Aivi sighed, "Fine, but if you screw up the plan, you're on your own."

"Uh, thanks I think," said Masahiro as he headed toward Dena and the others.

Rohiroshi and Gyoko watched as Dena stared down at the ground as if she wanted to crush it. "Um, Dena, are you and Masahiro in a fight?" Gyoko asked, keeping a safe distance away from her.

"I'm not speaking to that jerk!" said Dena.

"Well, it looks like 'that jerk' is coming this way," said Rohiroshi, ushering Gyoko to leave while he followed slowly behind her.

Dena grabbed Rohiroshi by the collar. "Stay here if you wish to live!" she evilly said.

Rohiroshi sweat dropped, "Um, uh, yes, ma'am."

Masahiro came up to the ghostly Dena and the traumatized Rohiroshi. "Rohiroshi, would you mind letting me talk alone with Dena for a sec?" He asked.

Rohiroshi hesitated. "You see, Masahiro, I would, but I treasure my life," he stated.

Dena let go of Rohiroshi's collar and gave him the sign that he's allowed to leave. She then gave Masahiro, once again, a cold stare. "What do you want? Is something else going on with you that I might need to know last?" She said in a too calm voice.

"Look, Dena, I came to apologize to you," said Masahiro.

"Fine, apologize."

"I'm sorry."

"Okay, apology not accepted," said Dena as she walked over to her desk, getting ready for class to start.

"She must hate you," said Tenkida, who was right behind Masahiro. "Of, course I would too if my best friend didn't even bother to tell me why he decided to ditch me the whole weekend and the morning we were supposed to walk to school, leaving me lost, having to resort with walking to school with my worst enemy."

A vein popped out of Masahiro's head before it grew and he shouted to Tenkida, "SHUT UP!"

After school.

Dena headed outside of her school and decided to go to the chapel alone to see Sister Seira. She headed inside and walked down the long aisle and headed into the confessional that Seira had kept the key of for many years. Seira finally spotted Dena and motioned for her to sit down while she did as well. "So, I suppose I know why you're here, Dena," said Seira with a sweet smile.

"Of course you do, Seira. I'm here to see if there are any lost lambs to save," said Dena looking down. She then looked up to see Seira still smiling. "Huh?"

"Now, Dena, I know that isn't all that you came for. Something is bothering you. I could tell in class today. Has it got something to do with Masahiro?" Seira said, folding her hands together on the table.

"H-how'd you know?" Dena asked. * I know Mayu can possibly be psychic, but this is ridiculous. *

"You've been avoiding him all day," said Seira as a matter of fact. " Why don't you tell me what's been going on?"

"Okay well it all started this morning," Dena started.

Pandora shop.

While Dena was talking to Seira over at the chapel, Masahiro needed his own person to talk to. He walked inside Mayu Sendo's shop and sat down in the chair right in front of the table where she was sitting that had a crystal ball on it. "Never thought I'd see you here, Masahiro."

"Believe me, I didn't either, but the odds are that Dena is talking to Sister Seira right now, so I'm stuck with you," said Masahiro with a stressed look.

"I'll try my hardest not to take that as an insult. Why don't you tell me what's going on."

"v_v Dena hates me," said Masahiro in a sad tone.

"About time she got a new best friend," Mayu mumbled.

"_+ I heard that!"

"You really liked Dena, so you took a stupid plot out of a shojo manga and decided to test it out in reality," Mayu all of a sudden said out of the blue.

"Okay, how'd you know that?" Masahiro asked with a spooked voice.

"I AM a psychic after all T_T."

"Oh, yeah. I forgot," said Masahiro, holding the back of his neck. "You think you can tell me if this plan would work if I continued it?"

"No."

"What?!" Masahiro exclaimed.

"No, I cannot tell you how this will end up. You will have to figure it out on your own," said Mayu.

Back at the chapel.

"I see," said Seira, "but, Dena, he did apologize."

"I know. And I didn't forgive him. I was just so mad that he kept this from me, plus, I was almost late for class. I feel so ashamed of myself," said Dena, once again looking down at the ground.

"You need to go forgive him to let him know that you're happy for him, Dena," said Seira, getting out of her chair. "This conversation is over. I want you to go talk to Masahiro now."

"Alright," said Dena as she too got out of her chair. She left the confessional to go out from the chapel and look for Masahiro. She saw that Masahiro had just run a long way (since he was catching his breath) to meet Aivi in front of the school.

"There she is behind you," Aivi whispered to Masahiro. "And she can see us. Here's our chance."

"For what?" Masahiro asked.

"Kiss me." Aivi said.

"What?"

"Kiss me!"

"Nah uh!"

"Kiss me!!"

"No!!"

"Masahiro!"

"Aivi!"

"She's coming! If you want this to work, Masahiro." Aivi trailed off. With that Masahiro hesitated then grabbed Aivi and gave her a long kiss on the lips.

* Oh my god! * Dena thought to herself. * What was that I just saw? * Dena then felt her chest as if it were hurting. What's this feeling? It feels so sad. Why am I starting to get it. It's as if me heart has just been stepped on.*

Aivi then looked at the green haired girl who was just a few yards ahead of her and spoke as if she didn't notice she was there, "Oh dear! Dena, you didn't just see that did you?"

Dena was frozen everywhere. She couldn't move or speak. Masahiro was also frozen. He couldn't face Dena after what he had just did. Dena finally brought up the courage to say something, "I.um. I have to go home. I have lots of homework to do, you know." Dena then turned around and started running home as fast she could.

It was not long before Dena knocked into somebody since she wasn't looking where she was going. Luckily it was somebody she knew, Rohiroshi. She had knocked him down while he was on his way home from Kajukembo (form of martial arts, which have Kenpo, Kung Fu, Karate, and Jujitsu all in one). "What's the rush Dena?" he asked. He then saw Dena now in tears. "Dena?"

Dena then shook off her tears for a short while. "I'm sorry, Rohiroshi. Were you hurt?"

"No, but are you okay?" Rohiroshi asked. "I can't help but notice that whenever we bump into each other like this you always seem to be crying."

"I-I was crying?" Dena asked.

* Don't tell me she didn't know. * Rohiroshi then got up and brushed himself off, then helped Dena up as well. "Listen, Dena, you seem like you're in some kind of shock. I don't trust you going home on your own, so I'll walk with you."

"You don't need to do that, Rohiroshi. I'm fine really," said Dena.

"No, I'll walk you home," Rohiroshi insisted.

"Okay.Thanks."

Front of Dena's Door.

"Now you sure nothing is bothering you?" Rohiroshi asked just in case Dena decided to confess the problem.

She finally shook her head. "Thanks for walking me home."

"Your welcome. I'll see you later," said Rohiroshi as he waved goodbye and started to jog home.

Dena smiled as she watched Rohiroshi until he disappeared. The smile then quickly turned into a frown as Dena walked upstairs into her room. She sat down at her desk and started to cry as she rested her head on her arms. *What's wrong with me? I should be happy for Masahiro. *

Dena then looked up at the notebook that Masahiro told her to hold. *I should give this back to him, so he can give it to Aivi. *

Next morning.

Dena was just putting her shoes on to get ready to go to school. "Not walking with Masahiro today either?" asked Meimi, who was right behind her.

Dena turned around, "Um, no. He has no time for me now since he has a girlfriend v_v" said Dena.

"You sound like you don't support his relationship," said Meimi.

Dena didn't know what to say about that, but luckily she was saved. "Hello, Dena," said Rohiroshi, who was at her front door.

"Oh, hi Rohiroshi. What are you doing here?" Dena asked, surprised to see him.

"Well, I still wasn't comfortable with you walking by yourself at your current state just yet, so I was wondering if I may walk you to school," said Rohiroshi.

"My, and who is this charming young gentleman?" Meimi asked, astonished by Rohiroshi's politeness and grammar.

"Oh, excuse me for not introducing myself, Mrs. Asuka. My name is Rohiroshi Azuma. I'm a friend and classmate of Dena," said Rohiroshi, bowing.

"Well it's very nice to meet you. Well, I better let you two get on to school now," said Meimi, shooing Dena.

In the classroom.

Shortly after arriving in the classroom, Dena sent Tenkida to give a message to Masahiro. "Sawatari, Asuka whishes to meet you at lunch in front of the locker rooms," she said.

"Okay, this may sound a little strange, but why are you telling me this?" Masahiro asked. "Dena is your sworn enemy."

"Listen, she promised me that if you refused to meet her, I can beat the living tar out of you," said Tenkida, clenching her fists.

"Uh, okay, I get it. I'll go see her at lunch!" Said Masahiro, backing away from Tenkida and her fist.

"Darn," Tenkida whispered. Aivi giggled.

Lunch time.

Masahiro arrived in front of the locker rooms on time, where he finally spotted Dena approaching with something in her arms. "Hey, Dena, so have you cooled down yet?" Masahiro asked.

"More or less," Dena just said. She then held out the notebook as if she wanted Masahiro to take it. "Here."

Masahiro recognized the notebook at once. "That's the notebook! The one you said you would hold for me until I worked up the courage to give it to the person I liked."

"Yes, and it was obviously Aivi, so here. Take it," Said Dena, still holding it out.

Masahiro didn't want to take it. He couldn't take it because that notebook was for Dena. He wanted her to keep because she was the one the he liked, not Aivi. "No, Dena, I can't take that," he finally said.

"You said you'd give it to the person you liked, didn't you? Well, take it," said Dena.

"No, I can't give it to her."

"Why? Are you afraid?!"

"No, that's not it!"

"THEN WHY, MASAHIRO?!" Dena finally shouted out loud, in tears. There was a short silence until Dena spoke once again, "I can't hold onto this notebook anymore, so just take it."

"Dena, please, don't make me take that notebook. I want you to keep it for me. Please, you're my best friend. I'll tell you why I can't take that notebook.soon. Just please be patient," said Masahiro calmly.

"Why don't you yell at me when you argue back? Here I am frustrated, yelling my lungs out, and you're calm," said Dena.

"I can't yell at you. Not ever. You're my best friend, so-"

"No!" Dena said in a strong tone.

"What?" Masahiro asked.

"I'm sorry, Masahiro, but I can't be your best friend. Something is bothering, and I don't know what it is, but I can't be friends with you or Aivi," Dena said, sniffling here and there.

"No, Dena. You can't be serious! We've best friends ever since we were babies, and you want to throw that all away? Dena, please don't so this!" Said Masahiro, beginning to feel a few tears come.

But, Dena ignored Masahiro and began to walk away from him in tears. It was the hardest thing she ever had to say to him, let alone anyone. * I'm sorry, Masahiro. But, right.right now.seeing you with Aivi.It's tearing me apart. *

Dena and Masahiro went back up to the classroom and didn't speak a word to each other. "So, Sawatari, what did you and Asuka talk about? Did you two make up yet?" Tenkida asked. Then she noticed something trickling down Masahiro's cheek. "What the?! Are you crying?"

"What's wrong, Masahiro?" Aivi asked.

Tenkida then ran over to the other side where Dena was. "Asuka, what's wrong with Sawatari? He looks like he's about to have a nervous break down! Asuka?" Tenkida then saw Dena in even more pain than Masahiro.

"Dena?" Rohiroshi and Gyoko asked.

Tenkida then dragged both Gyoko and Rohiroshi over to the windows then signed with her finger for Aivi to come join the discussion. "Okay, right now I'm used to at least one of them yelling at me for teasing or for just getting into their business," said Tenkida. "Does anyone know what's up with those two?"

"I see what you mean," said Aivi.

"Yeah it's kind of spooky. It's almost as if they've broken up, but they're not even together," said Gyoko.

"I don't know. It seems more critical than that, but I think you've kind of got the right idea, Gyoko," said Rohiroshi looking over at the two gloomy friends.

"Huh? What do you mean, Rohiroshi?" Gyoko asked.

"It's almost like they cut off their ties of friendship," said a voice outside the group. Everyone looked over to see Sister Seira staring at both Dena and Masahiro who were for once so far apart from each other. Sadness was written all over sister Seira's face. "I'm sure it burdens all of us to see these two best friends not even glancing at each other."

"Sister Seira." Aivi trailed off. "Are you sure?"

Seira looked down. "I was there. I was just looking out the window to see a beautiful view. Then I saw it. It too brought tears to my eyes to see them walk away from each other. This shall break my heart every day to see two of God's children like this."

"No, they can't! They couldn't!" Rohiroshi protested.

"They've been best friends since even before we knew them," said Gyoko. "It just can't be."

"Yeah, even I can't stand this," said Tenkida. She then held out her fist. "Those two better clear their heads soon or I'll do it for them."

"Let's hope it doesn't resort to that," said Aivi with a sweat drop.

At the chapel.

"Dena, excuse me, please. I don't think I heard that right," said Seira after Dena had told her something.

"I can't be Dark Rosary anymore. I can't do anything that."

"Reminds you of Masahiro," Seira finished.

"I'm so sorry Seira. It just won't be the same," said Dena. She then touched her long hair.

"Don't do it, Dena," said Seira. "I'm sorry, but I can't let you cut your hair."

"I have to, Seira. It's a promise that I'll never become Dark Rosary again," said Dena.

"Dena, you are my student, but you're still my friend."

"I know, Seira. You've been a great friend, so please support me in this," said Dena, taking a pair of scissors into her hand.

"Okay, but please, don't let me watch."

"Alright. I'll see you tomorrow then. Good bye," said Dena, tucking the scissors into her bag and running out of the chapel.

"Good bye.Dark Rosary," said Seira softly.

Okay, don't laugh, but I actually cried while writing this chapter! It's really sad being the author you know. Please review, so I can reveal part 2!
