AU: Okay.u guys wouldn't let me kill him ( the last two chapters were a
little sad v_v so is this one! Ok only a lil I promise ^_^ sorry this took
so long. My mom was in the hospital.
*disclaimer: I DO NOT own Saint Tail or any of its ORIGINAL characters but don't sue me for the NEW ones.
Meimi checked in Dena's room once in a while as she watched her and Rohiroshi study. She then heard the phone ring and went over to pick it up. "Hello, Asuka residence," she said.
"Meimi is that you?" said the voice of Sawatari in a rushed voice.
"Yes, it is," said Meimi, concerned. "What's wrong?"
"It's Masahiro." Sawatari told Meimi the whole story as she listened.
"I see. I'll tell Dena what's going on and we'll head over to the hospital right away," said Meimi, hanging up the phone. She hurried over to Dena's room and swung the door open. "Dena!" she exclaimed.
Dena looked up. "What is it, Mom? Did Masahiro come in finally?" she asked.
Meimi's eyes began to sparkle as if she was about to cry. "Dena, that was just Mr. Sawatari on the phone. Masahiro is in the hospital."
"What?!" Both Dena and Rohiroshi asked.
"His father said that he was shot in the stomach. We really should head over there right away," said Meimi, hoping that she put it in the best words possible.
Rohiroshi saw Dena start to tremble all over her body followed by a collapse, though he was able to keep her from hitting the floor. "I would like to come too, if that isn't too much to ask," he said. Meimi nodded.
At the hospital.
Dena, Rohiroshi, and Meimi quickly hurried over to the emergency unit of the hospital, where Mr. Sawatari met them. "How is Masahiro?" Meimi asked, finding herself a seat.
"I'm not sure yet. The doctors have been operating for a while, but they haven't said anything," said Mr. Sawatari.
"Who.would do such a thing?" Dena asked in the faintest voice.
"They did catch the kid who did it thankfully," said Mr. Sawatari, taking out a picture. "Here's a photo of the person."
Dena took the picture and examined it closely. Her eyes then grew wide as she realized whom it was. "That's one of the gang members, the youngest one. So, he did this!" said Dena in a serious tone.
Everyone looked over to the doors that the doctor just came out of. They all took their seats to see what he had to say. "Masahiro seems to be perfectly fine now, though." he trailed off.
"Though what?" Meimi asked impatiently.
"Well, he still hasn't woken up or showed any sign of movement. Hopefully he will within the next week," said the doctor.
"Is it bad if he doesn't?" Dena asked, now trembling once more while she kept her grip onto Rohiroshi's arm.
"No, it isn't bad at all. If he doesn't wake up within the next few days then we will conclude that he is in a coma."
"I see," said Dena, loosening her grip as she looked down. She then quickly looked back up. "May I go see him now?" The doctor nodded and escorted Dena to Masahiro's room.
She walked into the room where she saw the lifeless Masahiro laying down in his bed. "How long does a coma usually last?" Dena asked the doctor before he stepped out.
"It depends," he said. "A coma can last from days to months and maybe even to years." He watched Dena's eyes begin to glitter as if tears were about to form. He then stepped outside to give her some alone time.
Dena stepped over to sit on Masahiro's bed and take a hold of his hand. She whispered softly, "You have to wake up, Masahiro. You can't leave me alone."
A few days later at school.
Everyone gathered around at the usual spot once again to discuss the issue at hand. "Anything new yet?" Aivi asked Dena who was looking out the window.
"I stopped by this morning, but Masahiro still hasn't awakened. He's as still as a rock," she replied.
"He'll be fine, Asuka," said Tenkida as though she didn't want to say it. "Sawatari's not going to let something like a coma keep him from waking up. He's too afraid Azuma will take you away from him, heh."
"T_T I'll take that as encouragement," said Dena, finally getting away from the window. "I'm going to visit him today with sister Seira if any of you would like to come."
"I would like to," said Rohiroshi.
"Yeah, us too," said Gyoko and Aivi in unison.
Everyone then glared over at Tenkida. "O_O What are you all staring at?" she asked with a sweat drop. Everyone kept glaring at her as Tenkida just kept sweat dropping. She finally got the hint. "Alright, alright, I'll go!" Suddenly everyone's glares turned into freaky smiles.
Back to the hospital.
Dena and Seira walked in the room together where Masahiro's body lied still. Seira said a prayer in hope that he would wake up soon while Dena replaced his flowers. "Oh, Seira, will his eyes ever open again?" Dena asked as if she was losing hope.
Seira looked at her saddened friend. "We can't give up yet. It's only been a few days. I'm sure Masahiro will awake soon."
"But, he so silent and motionless," said Dena, now sitting on top of Masahiro's bed. "I can't help but wonder how long this coma will really last."
Seira sat herself on a chair next to Masahiro's bed. She then took out a little photo from her sleeve and looked over to Dena. "Does Dark Rosary feel like working this week?" she asked.
Dena looked back at Seira and replied with a question, "What is it?" Seira handed Dena the picture of an aqua marine colored brooch. It had a golden rim with an aqua marine colored ruby in the middle. "It's so beautiful."
"Yes, it is very exquisite. That brooch was stolen from an elderly woman, Mrs. Matsumoto. It was going to be a gift for her granddaughter's 16th birthday," Seira explained. "It used to be her brooch when she was sixteen. Her grandmother had given it to her as well."
"Oh, that's terrible!" Dena exclaimed. "What Jerk did that?"
Seira put her finger up to quiet Dena down then took out another photo. " She believes it was this person," said Seira, "it's her youngest granddaughter. She is only twelve-years-old, so of course it wouldn't be right to go out and convict her. But being the kind hearted woman that she is, Mrs. Matsumoto couldn't convict her granddaughter either."
"I see," said Dena. "The youngest one is jealous because her older sister gets that precious brooch. I would probably think of doing the same thing if I were her." Seira then had an inquisitive look on her face, and Dena knew exactly what she was thinking. "Hey, not that I would actually do it!"
Dena stood up and went over to Seira. "Of, course I'll do it ^_^. It would help me get over being worried about Masahiro also, so I guess there's a little in it for me too."
"Besides the thought that you did a good deed?" Seira asked.
Dena sweat-dropped, "Uh, yeah."
Rohiroshi, Tenkida, Gyoko, and Aivi all poked their heads through the door. "Are you guys done yet?" they all asked.
"Yeah, Sister Seira and I are going to head out now ^_^," said Dena. She went over to Masahiro to pay him one last visit for the day and kissed his still forehead. "I'll be back tomorrow," she whispered.
"Oh, gosh this mushy stuff is making me sick," said Tenkida.
Asuka residence.
"AGH! THIS IS HARD!!!!" Meimi heard coming from Dena's room.
*What on earth was that?! * Meimi hurried up the stairs, down the hall and opened the door to Dena's room. "What's wrong? I think the next town could hear that yell," she said.
"I think Dark Rosary has lost her touch," said Dena with pout in her voice and anime tears, while she lay sprawled on her bed.
"What do you mean? She hasn't been caught and escaped from prison has she?" Meimi asked, taking a seat in one of Dena's chairs.
"No, that would've been on the news for sure T_T," said Dena, now sitting upward. "I can't think of one good way to present my next calling card."
"Oh.that would make me scream my lungs out too O_O" said Meimi sarcastically.
"Well, then does the legendary Saint Tail have any ideas since she seems to think I'm a ridiculous amateur," said Dena, partly mocking and partly eager for an idea.
"Well, I wouldn't say ridiculous," said Meimi. "Let's see.how about the box lunch trick. That was always pretty popular."
"Did it," said Dena.
"Okay then," said Meimi, "How about a message in the sky."
"Written in history books v_v," said Dena with a sigh.
"Why don't you just stick a paper on her back then," said Meimi, running out of ideas.
"I just did that one and only because Masahiro wasn't there to give me any ideas!" said Dena.
* Wow, so that's whom she gets it from. And all this time I thought she got it from me * thought Meimi. *Sigh* "Okay, make it poof on her head."
" Done T_T"
"Desk poof?"
"That one was funny."
"Uh, I know! Make it look like she wrote on her hand! Hah, bet you didn't think of that one!" said Meimi, back to her kiddy self.
"Actually, that's one of the very few I did come up with on my own," said Dena, slumping herself back on her bed.
"Okay, let me see," said Meimi, thinking hard and seriously, "How about this then."
Next Morning at school.
Everyone sat quietly at their desks while sister Seira wrote down the lesson plan for the day. Rohiroshi noticed Dena taking two sets of notes when he looked over to her. "Uh, Dena, may I ask what you are doing?"
"Well, just because Masahiro is in a coma, that doesn't mean he's going to get away with not studying. I'm taking his notes for him that way he has no excuse for falling behind," said Dena as she still scribbled down everything Sister Seira wrote.
"I see," said Rohiroshi. * Masahiro never falls behind anyway. He's one of the smartest in this class. Oh well. *
Tenkida dazed off as she took notes on her notebook. She stared right at her notebook but had not clue what she was writing. She just copied whatever Sister Seira put on the board. She finally did comprehend what she was writing when she heard Sister Seira say something extremely weird and found herself writing it, "Tonight I will be at the Matsumoto residence to steal a brooch- Dark Rosary."
"Huh?!" the whole class asked. As shocked as they were, they couldn't help but laugh a little bit.
"Uh." said Seira with a sweat drop. "Tenkida, I think this belongs to you."
"O_O Boy.that's new," said Tenkida, remaining eye wide at the situation.
Back at the hospital.(I promise just one more after this.)
Dena went to go visit Masahiro before she went to go plan her night as Dark Rosary. She hoped that somehow Masahiro would awaken, but it was too good to be true. She still smiled and went over to his bedside. "I wish you would be there, Masahiro. Who's going to take my pictures, heh," she joked. "I'm going to get a brooch back tonight. It's very pretty. I can show you a picture once you wake up."
Masahiro still didn't respond, and Dena frowned. "Well, I guess I better get going then. I'll see you later okay? I promise before visiting hours are over." With that, Dena hurried out of the room and got ready for show time.
Matsumoto residence.
Tenkida gathered some of her mother's best men at the Matsumoto residence. She was determined to catch Dark Rosary tonight. The only person who seemed to be home at the time was the culprit: Midori. Her parents were out on their anniversary and her sister was staying at her grandmother's. "So, kid, let me see this brooch that Dark Rosary wants so bad," said Tenkida to Midori.
Midori carefully pulled out the beautiful brooch from her pocket. "Here, this is it," she said, handing it over to Tenkida.
Tenkida examined the brooch carefully. *Wow, this is truly one of a kind. *
"Masami Tenkida, I'm sorry, but I'll have to return that brooch to it's rightful owner," said the voice of Dark Rosary.
Tenkida noticed the voice was awfully close, like it was right behind her. "The lights aren't off!" Tenkida shouted in excitement. She then turned around and said, "I got you now Dark Ro-" Tenkida's face then grew pale when she saw Dark Rosary dressed as a sumo wrestler. "Aaah! What the heck is that?"
"Well, you said it yourself: Turning off the lights is getting old. I decided if I was to keep the lights on, I had to hide my face," said Dark Rosary as a matter of factly, holding up one of her fingers.
Tenkida stayed silent for a while to get over the shock of seeing Dark Rosary in a sumo costume. "N-nice ensemble," she said with a sweat drop.
"Why, thank you, but enough of that," said Dark Rosary. She then turned her attention over to Midori. "Midori Matsumoto, that brooch isn't yours to keep! You stole that from your grandmother didn't you?"
"What?" Tenkida asked, turning her head over to Midori.
Midori backed away in fright. "I- I- I didn't mean to! I mean I did mean to, but I wasn't going to do it, I swear! I was just upset that because I thought my grandma like my sister better than me. I was jealous," she said with tears starting to form.
"Nobody likes feeling left out, and believe me I know what's like being the third wheel," Dark Rosary.
"Oh, you do, do you?" said Tenkida suspiciously.
* Ah, maybe I said too much! * Dark Rosary thought. "Yeah, everybody goes through it once in a while when they think someone likes someone else more than them."
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Tenkida replied, looking up at the ceiling.
* Good save, Dena! * "But, the truth is, that person isn't choosing favorites. I'm sure your grandmother and your sister are really good friends also right?" Dark Rosary said to Midori.
"Well, yeah," Midori said back, starting to reason with Dark Rosary's preaching.
"Well, I'm sure that your grandmother likes you both the same, but she has a special relationship with your sister because she is her first granddaughter." *But, my case was different. way different, but I have to get that brooch back! *
Midori finally got what Dark Rosary was saying. "I- I guess.you're right."
"Great, so can I get that brooch back to your grandmother now?" Dark Rosary asked, holding out her hand.still in the Sumo getup ^_^;
"Actually, I would like to give it back to my grandmother personally, so I can apologize," said Midori, looking down at the brooch. Dark Rosary nodded.
Tenkida finally remembered that she still had to catch Dark Rosary. "H-hey! I still need to catch you!" she shouted, running towards Dark Rosary with her men behind her.
Dark Rosary winked, "Nah, maybe next time," she said with a giggle. She then took out a bouquet of black roses and made weak paralysis powder come out, causing everyone to freeze for a few moments, allowing Dark Rosary to escape.
"No! Get back here! DARK ROSARY!!" Tenkida shouted up.
Back at the hospital(Last one!).
Dena sat back at the bedside of Masahiro's bed. "I had a good night tonight, Masahiro. I feel like I actually helped somebody today," she said.
Masahiro still gave Dena no response, and Dena couldn't take it anymore. Tears finally started to form on her face and her smile quickly turned into a frown. "Masahiro, are you ever going to wake up?" She plumped herself on the floor and grabbed onto Masahiro's hand. "Wake up, please? Masahiro, you can't leave me alone here."
While Dena sat crying, inside Masahiro was fighting his long dream. * I don't get it * he thought. * I remember seeing that guy then everything went black. Am I dead?*
Masahiro then heard someone crying from a far distance. * What is that? It sounds like.crying. Someone is crying, but who? *
Masahiro kept walking around in his dream. * Is this real? Is this really where I am now? I don't want it to be. Someone is waiting for me, but I don't remember who. * Images of Dena then started flashing all over the place. "She's waiting for me! I have to go see Dena!" Masahiro finally said out lout.
His eyes fluttered open as he heard Dena slowly crying until she finally yelled, "Masahiro, Please wake up!!"
Masahiro took a paper fan out of nowhere and bonked Dena on the head. "This is a hospital!shhhh" he said. To the teary eyed girl rubbing the bump on her head.
Dena finally got a slap from reality when she realized Masahiro was awake. She got up from the floor and went over to hug Masahiro as long as she can. "I was afraid you'd never wake up!" she said, still in tears.
Masahiro returned Dena's hug, "Nah, Rohiroshi might snatch you," he joked with a smile on his face.
* sometimes Tenkida scares meT_T * thought Dena.
Next morning at school.
" So, Sawatari's finally awake, huh?" Tenkida asked the happier than usual Dena.
"Yeah, he should be out of the hospital next week," said Dena with rosy cheeks.
"That's a relief," said Tenkida out of the blue.
"Huh?" Dena asked with a confused look.
"Well, you'll finally be back to normal and start biting my head off again," Tenkida replied, walking towards the window.
"O_O You actually like that?!" Dena exclaimed with few hair strands sticking out.
"I just miss the old Asuka, that's all." Tenkida folded her and turned around. "You're so boring when you're depressed. I don't like when my friends are sad."
Dena took that last sentence as a surprise. "You count me as a friend?" she asked.
Tenkida ignored the question. "Class is about to start," she said, walking to her desk. Dena smiled and thought about how things were changing.
AU: Okay, okay! I know that took a looooooong time, but like I said, my mom was in the hospital. But on the bright side is, it helped my hospital knowledge a little better ^_^ (don't worry my mom wasn't in a coma, but believe me don't ask.) Anyways.I would just like to thank my best friends Gretchen for helping me with my writer's block. Now, go review ^_^
*disclaimer: I DO NOT own Saint Tail or any of its ORIGINAL characters but don't sue me for the NEW ones.
Meimi checked in Dena's room once in a while as she watched her and Rohiroshi study. She then heard the phone ring and went over to pick it up. "Hello, Asuka residence," she said.
"Meimi is that you?" said the voice of Sawatari in a rushed voice.
"Yes, it is," said Meimi, concerned. "What's wrong?"
"It's Masahiro." Sawatari told Meimi the whole story as she listened.
"I see. I'll tell Dena what's going on and we'll head over to the hospital right away," said Meimi, hanging up the phone. She hurried over to Dena's room and swung the door open. "Dena!" she exclaimed.
Dena looked up. "What is it, Mom? Did Masahiro come in finally?" she asked.
Meimi's eyes began to sparkle as if she was about to cry. "Dena, that was just Mr. Sawatari on the phone. Masahiro is in the hospital."
"What?!" Both Dena and Rohiroshi asked.
"His father said that he was shot in the stomach. We really should head over there right away," said Meimi, hoping that she put it in the best words possible.
Rohiroshi saw Dena start to tremble all over her body followed by a collapse, though he was able to keep her from hitting the floor. "I would like to come too, if that isn't too much to ask," he said. Meimi nodded.

"I would like to," said Rohiroshi.
"Yeah, us too," said Gyoko and Aivi in unison.
Everyone then glared over at Tenkida. "O_O What are you all staring at?" she asked with a sweat drop. Everyone kept glaring at her as Tenkida just kept sweat dropping. She finally got the hint. "Alright, alright, I'll go!" Suddenly everyone's glares turned into freaky smiles.

She then turned around and said, "I got you now Dark Ro-" Tenkida's face then grew pale when she saw Dark Rosary dressed as a sumo wrestler. "Aaah! What the heck is that?"
"Well, you said it yourself: Turning off the lights is getting old. I decided if I was to keep the lights on, I had to hide my face," said Dark Rosary as a matter of factly, holding up one of her fingers.
Tenkida stayed silent for a while to get over the shock of seeing Dark Rosary in a sumo costume. "N-nice ensemble," she said with a sweat drop.
"Why, thank you, but enough of that," said Dark Rosary. She then turned her attention over to Midori. "Midori Matsumoto, that brooch isn't yours to keep! You stole that from your grandmother didn't you?"
"What?" Tenkida asked, turning her head over to Midori.
Midori backed away in fright. "I- I- I didn't mean to! I mean I did mean to, but I wasn't going to do it, I swear! I was just upset that because I thought my grandma like my sister better than me. I was jealous," she said with tears starting to form.
"Nobody likes feeling left out, and believe me I know what's like being the third wheel," Dark Rosary.
"Oh, you do, do you?" said Tenkida suspiciously.
* Ah, maybe I said too much! * Dark Rosary thought. "Yeah, everybody goes through it once in a while when they think someone likes someone else more than them."
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Tenkida replied, looking up at the ceiling.
* Good save, Dena! * "But, the truth is, that person isn't choosing favorites. I'm sure your grandmother and your sister are really good friends also right?" Dark Rosary said to Midori.
"Well, yeah," Midori said back, starting to reason with Dark Rosary's preaching.
"Well, I'm sure that your grandmother likes you both the same, but she has a special relationship with your sister because she is her first granddaughter." *But, my case was different. way different, but I have to get that brooch back! *
Midori finally got what Dark Rosary was saying. "I- I guess.you're right."
"Great, so can I get that brooch back to your grandmother now?" Dark Rosary asked, holding out her hand.still in the Sumo getup ^_^;
"Actually, I would like to give it back to my grandmother personally, so I can apologize," said Midori, looking down at the brooch. Dark Rosary nodded.
Tenkida finally remembered that she still had to catch Dark Rosary. "H-hey! I still need to catch you!" she shouted, running towards Dark Rosary with her men behind her.
Dark Rosary winked, "Nah, maybe next time," she said with a giggle. She then took out a bouquet of black roses and made weak paralysis powder come out, causing everyone to freeze for a few moments, allowing Dark Rosary to escape.
"No! Get back here! DARK ROSARY!!" Tenkida shouted up.
Back at the hospital(Last one!).
Dena sat back at the bedside of Masahiro's bed. "I had a good night tonight, Masahiro. I feel like I actually helped somebody today," she said.
Masahiro still gave Dena no response, and Dena couldn't take it anymore. Tears finally started to form on her face and her smile quickly turned into a frown. "Masahiro, are you ever going to wake up?" She plumped herself on the floor and grabbed onto Masahiro's hand. "Wake up, please? Masahiro, you can't leave me alone here."
While Dena sat crying, inside Masahiro was fighting his long dream. * I don't get it * he thought. * I remember seeing that guy then everything went black. Am I dead?*
Masahiro then heard someone crying from a far distance. * What is that? It sounds like.crying. Someone is crying, but who? *
Masahiro kept walking around in his dream. * Is this real? Is this really where I am now? I don't want it to be. Someone is waiting for me, but I don't remember who. * Images of Dena then started flashing all over the place. "She's waiting for me! I have to go see Dena!" Masahiro finally said out lout.
His eyes fluttered open as he heard Dena slowly crying until she finally yelled, "Masahiro, Please wake up!!"
Masahiro took a paper fan out of nowhere and bonked Dena on the head. "This is a hospital!shhhh" he said. To the teary eyed girl rubbing the bump on her head.
Dena finally got a slap from reality when she realized Masahiro was awake. She got up from the floor and went over to hug Masahiro as long as she can. "I was afraid you'd never wake up!" she said, still in tears.
Masahiro returned Dena's hug, "Nah, Rohiroshi might snatch you," he joked with a smile on his face.
* sometimes Tenkida scares meT_T * thought Dena.
Next morning at school.
" So, Sawatari's finally awake, huh?" Tenkida asked the happier than usual Dena.
"Yeah, he should be out of the hospital next week," said Dena with rosy cheeks.
"That's a relief," said Tenkida out of the blue.
"Huh?" Dena asked with a confused look.
"Well, you'll finally be back to normal and start biting my head off again," Tenkida replied, walking towards the window.
"O_O You actually like that?!" Dena exclaimed with few hair strands sticking out.
"I just miss the old Asuka, that's all." Tenkida folded her and turned around. "You're so boring when you're depressed. I don't like when my friends are sad."
Dena took that last sentence as a surprise. "You count me as a friend?" she asked.
Tenkida ignored the question. "Class is about to start," she said, walking to her desk. Dena smiled and thought about how things were changing.
AU: Okay, okay! I know that took a looooooong time, but like I said, my mom was in the hospital. But on the bright side is, it helped my hospital knowledge a little better ^_^ (don't worry my mom wasn't in a coma, but believe me don't ask.) Anyways.I would just like to thank my best friends Gretchen for helping me with my writer's block. Now, go review ^_^
