Okay.now time for part two of this twisted chapter. I wonder what's going to happen myself ^_^

*Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Saint Tail or any of the ORIGINAL characters, but don't sue me for the new ones!

Dena ran home, without bumping into anyone she did or did not know. She ran into the house and up the stairs to her bedroom. Meimi heard the racket and saw Dena unusually eager to go up to her room, so she went to check out what the rush was. She walked in on time to see Dena taking scissors and pointing them in the direction of her hair. "Dena, what on earth are you doing?!" Meimi exclaimed, running quickly towards the girl, snatching the scissors out of her hand.

"I must start my new life now, mom. I don't want to do anything that will make me think about him, so I'm cutting my hair to start over," said Dena, trying to reach for the scissors that Meimi tried to keep out of her reach.

"Okay slow down. What's going on? Why do you want to start a new life? And who do you want to forget?" Meimi asked her daughter who was now sitting at her dresser. Dena took out the notebook and stashed it into her small drawer. "Masahiro? What happened? Did you turn him down?"

"No, mom. He likes Aivi. And when he's with her, I'm just invisible and jealous," said Dena, walking over to her bed. "I just want to forget him because I can't help but hurt when I see him with her."

"You're throwing away your friendship just over that?!" Meimi asked in pure shock. "You've never fought with Masahiro before. You need to make up with him and tell him how you feel."

"No!" Dena said with a tear forming in her eye. "I'm the one that ended the friendship."

"Does he know why or did you leave him hanging in the dark," Meimi said, waiting for an answer. She finally realized it when Dena didn't answer. " He should at least know why you did this."

"It's better that he didn't," said Dena, wiping off the tear. "He'll realize that I'm just a selfish girl that the easy, put painful way out. Please, Mom, give me the scissors."

Meimi clenched the scissors in her hands, while she looked at Dena's awaiting palm. She then put a box into Dena's hand. "I don't believe this fight will last for long. Therefore, I can only give you this," she said, walking out of the room.

Dena looked at the box and read it. "Black hair dye. If this is the only thing I can use, then so be it."

Meimi went downstairs, into the kitchen to prepare dinner. She then heard the phone ring and picked it up. "Hello?"

"Hello, Haneoka ^_^" said the cheery voice of Masahiro's father.

"Sawatari, it's Asuka now," said Meimi. "So, what is it you want to tell me?"

"Well, it's about Masahiro. He just went straight up to his room when he came home unusually earlier than expected," said Sawatari, now in a serious tone of voice. "I was wondering if Dena could speak to him or come over. Or maybe she knows what's wrong with him. I could be wrong, but I kind of once in a while hear sniffles coming from the inside of his room. I think he's crying."

Meimi frowned on the other side of the telephone line. "I'm sorry, Sawatari, but Dena is sort of in the same state. I caught her trying to cut her hair."

"What?! What's wrong with these two? Did someone die?"

"No," said Meimi, "Though I would have preferred it. Dena broke off her friendship with Masahiro, but she seems to be in a lot of pain."

"Really. Do you know why?" Sawatari asked.

"Well, I don't believe it is wise to share that information just yet," said Meimi, hanging up the phone.

Next Day at school.

Dena walked in to the classroom with her new black hair. The room was very quiet, even when she walked in. Aivi walked up to Dena with a bright smile on her face. "Hello, Dena. I like the new look. It's the same color as my hair ^_^," she said.

Dena turned to Aivi but didn't look her in the eye. "Aivi, I don't mean to offend you, but I can't speak to you for a while," she said, walking to her desk, though it wasn't the first place she wanted to go to since Masahiro was sitting right next to her. She sat down quietly and laid her chin on her hands, glancing over to the desk at her right occasionally.

Every time Dena glanced over, she would see Masahiro just staring at her. She then started to become a little irritated at this fact and finally looked over to him. "Stop staring at me!" She said in a medium volume voice.

"No, not until I get a reason to why I can't be your best friend, let alone your friend anymore!" Masahiro said back.

"You just can't, okay?" Dena said, turning to the window.

Sister Seira finally walked in and everyone got into their seats. "I have a new seating chart everyone," she said, though she thought that she shouldn't. She separated Dena and Masahiro. Dena was sat next to Rohiroshi, while Masahiro was sat next to Aivi, and Gyoko sat next to Tenkida. * It's for the best for the time being. * She thought.

"You can't keep doing this," Rohiroshi whispered to Dena.

"I don't know what you're talking about v_v," said Dena, continuing with her studies.

"I'm talking about you and Masahiro. You can't keep avoiding him," Rohiroshi said, still trying to get Dena to come to her senses. "I know you're hurting just as much as he is."

Dena kept her eyesight downward onto her paper as she just thought. * What is Rohiroshi, a mind reader? Maybe I should tell Mayu about him. He's right though. I am hurting a lot. I don't know how much more of this I can take before I have a nervous breakdown. This time.this time I don't have anyone to talk to or tell me everything's going to be all right. I don't have Masahiro anymore. * She kept thinking. Dena finally looked to her paper and realized that she had been scribbling all over it while she was thinking. *Ah! Dena, you idiot! *

"Dena," she finally heard Sister Seira say. "Is that a new system of writing?"

Dena stared at her deformed paper. "Uh, no, I guess I was just thinking a little too much, heh. ^_^"

"Please try to day dream during lunch or after school next time, okay?" Sister Seira said as she walked back up to the front of the classroom.

After School.

Dena decided to go straight home after that brief but embarrassing moment at school. She then realized that she had started to run out of paper, so decided to go stop by a school supply store on the way. She went to the closest one near an alley, which she personally didn't like since there were always gang members there doing who knows what.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the best day to be going to that store. The gang members were unusually close, and they had always seen Dena walk this way with Masahiro. To Dena's misfortune, Masahiro wasn't there with her this time. One of the guys finally came up to her as she passed by. "Hey, where's that boy you're always with?" He asked.

Dena then turned to realize how stupid she was for going this way alone. *O geez, I wouldn't even mind Tenkida being here right now. * She thought. "He went to walk another friend home," said Dena, continuing her way over to the store.

"So, no one you know is near by?" the guy asked again.

"v_v No," Dena blurted out. *Ah! You idiot, Dena!! *

"Oh, really?" The guy asked, pulling Dena's arm, restraining her from going any further. "I guess you're out of protection then."

Dena struggled to get out of the gang member's grasp, but he was too strong. "Let me go!" She yelled at him. *I can't use my magic. What am I going to do?! * She thought in stress.

"Why? I have a little brother here that's just dying to meet you," he said, pulling Dena over to the alley.

"Well, I'm not dying to meet him!" Dena said, still trying to get away. She had finally gone into the alley. * I'm never going this way alone again! * She thought. *If there is a next time. * Dena all of a sudden got a bright idea. * I still have the elixir. I'll just use my magic, and then give them the elix-the elixir is at home! Help! Why am I saying that in my mind?! * The gang member then took the notebook out of Dena's bag. "Give that back!"

"Nah, I think I'll keep it."

It just so happens that Masahiro was walking to get new pencils from the same store Dena was heading to. He strolled on the sidewalk as he was sipping his cola until he stopped because he all of a sudden heard some weird things coming from the alley. "You can be arrested, you know!" said a voice of a girl.

" That's Dena's voice," he said. Masahiro walked into the alley and saw Dena trying to kick and punch anyone that came near her. "Hey!" he called out to everyone. "Just what do you suppose you are doing with her?"

"Well, the girl seemed pretty lonely, so I thought I would introduce her to this little guy," said the leader of the gang, pulling out his little brother.

"She doesn't seem like she's interested," said Masahiro. "Why don't you let her go? Before I just force you, I mean."

Dena looked over at Masahiro. She was happy to see him, yet upset at the same time. "Oh, I recognize you," said the gang member, (AU: let's call him Bob hehe.) "You're they boy that this little lady is always with." 'Bob' (^_^hehe) clenched Dena's wrist tighter, causing her to close her eyes in pain. "So, what are you threatening me with, your bag? You gonna hit me with it, punk?"

Masahiro walked up to 'Bob' with his hang in his bag. "Nah, I thought I'd just give you this," he said, bringing up his camera, flashing it in everyone's eyes, and also getting a picture to show the cops. He grabbed Dena's arm and ran out to the front of the store.

Dena caught her breath then looked at Masahiro. "Thank you, but you didn't need to do that."

"I heard a voice, so I went to it. It was your voice, I knew that much. I wasn't going to let them hurt you," said Masahiro.

Dena looked to her bag. Then she just remembered the notebook. She rummaged in her bag to check if it was there. Masahiro looked at her strangely, "What are you doing?"

"The notebook," she said, "They still have the notebook."

Dena then started running toward the alley until she felt herself being restrained. "It's not worth risking your life, you idiot! It's just a notebook."

"No, it was your notebook!" Said Dena, looking back to Masahiro.

"Boy, I thought you didn't want anything to do with me," said Masahiro sarcastically.

"The notebook. I don't care if I'm trying to forget about you! You have to give it to someone you love!"

"I already did, Miss Clueless," said Masahiro. Everything fell silent, and Masahiro started to sprint home.

Dena watched as Masahiro ran. * He loves me? * she asked herself. Tears started to form in her eyes. *That's it; I'm getting that notebook back! * She then started to run towards the chapel, just in case those gang members and 'Bob' decided to come for her again.

She ran into the chapel and into the sealed confessional where Seira was. "Dark Rosary is back!"

"Well, she was only gone for a few days," said Seira with a smile.

Asuka Jr.'s office ^_^.

Masahiro handed Detective Asuka the picture of the gang. "So, these people harassed my daughter?" he asked.

"Yes, sir," said Masahiro.

"Well, tomorrow night I shall personally deal with them," said Detective Asuka.

Next day at school.(boy that was a short scene)

Dena still avoided Masahiro just in case that little confession was just a fluke. She walked over to Rohiroshi, Gyoko, and Tenkida who were as always near the window. "Y'know, with all this commotion of Masahiro's and Dena's split up, no one has talked about the Dark Rosary or has even heard about another calling card from her," said Gyoko, looking over to Tenkida. "Have you gotten any calling cards, Tenkida?"

"NO! NOT ONE!" Tenkida shouted with anime tears. "Why hasn't she sent one calling card?! I'm sure a bunch of things need to be stolen!"

"Uh, then what's that on your back?" Rohiroshi asked, peeling a piece of paper off.

"A CALLING CARD?!" Tenkida shouted once more with tears of joy.

"Read it already," Rohiroshi and Gyoko said in unison.

Masahiro and Aivi quickly ran over to see what it said also, although Masahiro had a hint of what it was about. "Tonight I will be in the alley near Mai's School Supplies to steal a notebook- Dark Rosary," said Dena.

*I knew it. T_T Geez if she wants a notebook so bad, I'll buy it for her. * Masahiro thought.

Everyone looked over to Dena as she sweat-dropped. "What? I saw it on her back a long time ago. It's not too hard to memorize."

"I don't care if it's just a notebook! I got another calling card," said Tenkida in a giddy voice.

"Okay, Tenkida is scaring me right now," said Gyoko.

Masahiro walked over to Dena to what looks like speak to her. Everyone in the group fell silent, but briefly started to whisper. "Dena." Masahiro trailed off.

"Y-yes, Masahiro?" Dena asked, not knowing what to do or say at the moment.

"Can I.Can I walk home with you today?" He finally asked with a little blush. Dena didn't speak, but just nodded.

After school.

Masahiro left the school quietly and headed home, far away from where the alley was. Masahiro stumbled for words. He knew he had to tell Dena, but didn't know how she would react. "Dena, there's something I have to tell you," he started.

"What is it?" she asked.

"It's about me and Aivi.We were never together as a couple," Masahiro said, looking down, not wanting to face Dena at the current moment.

Dena stopped and looked up to Masahiro. "What do you mean?" she asked.

"It was all an act. I thought if I could make you jealous, you would be the one to confess first so my chicken self wouldn't have to." Masahiro couldn't believe that he just told Dena all that. He just wanted to hit himself at that very moment.

Dena's eyes started to fill with tears. "Masahiro, I admit I was jealous, but how can you make me go through that?" Dena asked, trying to wipe her eyes.

"I didn't want to. You have to believe me; I didn't want to make you cry. It's just.I couldn't just tell you how I feel," said Masahiro, not being able to think for a moment. Dena started to turn to run, but Masahiro grabbed her hand. "Dena, I know there's no excuse for what I did, but please forgive me. I don't want to lose you again."

"Masahiro," said Dena, walking closer to him until they finally embraced in a hug. "It was hard being close to you, but it was even harder being away from you."

"I'm so sorry, Dena," said Masahiro, pulling her closer to him, not wanting to let go.

Night at the alley with 'Bob' hehe.

"Hey, bro, what are you going to do with that notebook?" said 'Bob's' little brother (Let's call him Joe ^_^).

"The little lady found this important. I'll wait 'till she's alone again then rip it up in front of her," said 'Bob', waving around the notebook in the air. "'Joe', head home. Ma's gonna kill me for leaving you out here too long."

'Joe' frowned, but did as he was told. "Ma, always ruins all the fun," he said as he walked away.

'Bob' kept waving the notebook in the air then tossed it around to everyone in the game to a play a little hot potato. One person tossed it in the air one more time before a ribbon caught onto it and went up to the sky where at the other end was Dark Rosary. 'Bob' looked up. "What the? Who are you?!" he asked.

"Just a person who wants to return this to a friend. You may call me Dark Rosary," said Dark Rosary, putting the notebook in her arms.

"That's the famous thief, boss," said one of the gang members. "Run!"

"Not so fast," said Dark Rosary, with the ribbon still in her hand. She jumped down, releasing a parachute to make her fall graceful. "I can't let you escape. The police are coming thanks to getting a picture of you guys from a young photographer."

"The twerp!" said 'Bob.'

"That's right," said Dark Rosary. She then took her ribbon and gathered up everyone in the gang. She wrapped the ribbon around them and tied it into a big knot. "There, that ought a hold you. I have to go now, but please tell Masami Tenkida that I'm sorry for not being here longer ^_^" Dark Rosary headed back up to the roof tops and started to run away.

The cops came not to long after Dark Rosary's visit. "There they are," said Tenkida. "But, Dark Rosary! Where is she?! NOOOOOOOO!" she shouted yet again in anime tears.

"You are all under arrest for harassing a young girl and also for a multiple of other crimes such as under age drinking, drugs, and stealing," said Detective Asuka with a few other officers and handcuffs.

"That twerp is going to pay," whispered 'Bob' evilly.

Next Morning at the Asuka residence.

Dena walked into the kitchen with a bright smile on her face. Meimi noticed her daughter's joy and was happy, but seemed a bit confused. "Did something good happen today?" she asked.

Just then, the doorbell rang. "I'll get it," said Dena, still smiling. She ran over to the door to open it as Meimi followed. "Hello, Masahiro."

"Hi, Dena," said Masahiro with a smile on his face also. "Ready to go?"

"Yup. Got to go now, Mom. See you after school okay?" said Dena heading out the door with Masahiro. Meimi smiled and closed the door. She was happy to see the two smiling again.

Masahiro and Dena walked a little further away from the house until Dena stopped. "Oh, I almost forgot, Masahiro. Look," she said, holding out the notebook.

Masahiro smiled and took the notebook. He then turned to Dena looking as if he was going to propose. "Dena, would you accept this notebook from me?" he asked.

Dena took the notebook back in her hands and smiled back at Masahiro. "Of, course I will."

The two finally caught up with Tenkida. She saw Masahiro and Dena holding each other's hands. "Well, well, well, it looks like I can call you two love birds for real now," she said, pulling Dena's cheek.

"Tenkida, you can let go now T_T" said Dena, trying to pull Tenkida's hand off the cheek.

They all walked into the classroom together where Rohiroshi, Aivi, and Gyoko were waiting for them by the window. Aivi walked up to Dena right away. "Dena, it was my idea, not Masahiro's. I just can't stand when I think two people should be more than friends and they're not."

"It's alright Aivi. I think your plan worked after all ^_^" said Dena.

"You mean." Aivi trailed off as excitement filled the classroom. "They're officially a couple! Yay!"

"Alright!" said Gyoko. She then turned over to Tenkida, "By the way.How was last night."

"She left before I could even get there!" said Tenkida in anger.

"Oh ^_^" said Gyoko with a sweat-drop.

After school.

Rohiroshi, Masahiro, and Dena all walked out of school together. They were planning to go to Dena's house to study for a big test that was happening the next day. Masahiro just then remembered something. "Oh, I have to go get some pencils and bring some pictures that I took for my dad to his work," he said. "Can I meet up with you 2 later?"

"Sure, Masahiro. Your dad's a journalist. We can't risk his job," said Dena.

"I'll go study with Dena and take some notes for you just in case and drop them off on the way home," said Rohiroshi.

"Thanks. I should be over soon," said Masahiro, running to Mai's School Supplies. Masahiro ran as fast as he could until he stopped to see 'Bob's' little brother standing in front of him. "What do you want?"

"You bastard! You got my brother and his friends arrested! Now they're in jail!" yelled 'Joe'.

"Look, I'm sorry, but they shouldn't be able to get away with the crimes they commit," said Masahiro. "Look, I'm in a hurry, so can you move aside?"

"Why don't I just make time stop for you?" the last remaining gang member asked.

"Huh?" asked Masahiro.

'Joe' then brought out a gun and shot Masahiro right in the stomach. ~BANG!~

The End.

AU: Just kidding! The story still has a couple chapters to go ^_^ Review now, ya hear? Does Masahiro live or does he die? You'll have to find out in the next chapter! ^_~
