Author's Note: Hi all Saint Tail fans! I'm sorta altering the Saint Tail story a bit but I think it will turn out pretty good. This won't follow the manga at all so it won't be so easy to predict. Well I still will be using the characters but the plot will be different. (Thus a fanfic!) Sorry wasted space explaining basic stuff. I have other fanfics too so while you're waiting for this one to be updated, please read and review those. Okay enough chattering! On to Saint Tail. One more thing, review please! Okay now on to Saint Tail!
Disclaimer: I do not own Saint Tail or any anime at that. Hehe…that's pathetic (sweatdrop)
Chapter 1
" Saint Tail is Haneoka!" Shouted a girl with bright blond hair to a shorter boy with dark green hair. " Asuka Jr. you have to believe me!" the girl shouted flailing her arms wildly, emphasizing its importance.
" Takamiya, Saint Tail is definitely NOT Haneoka! The wedding dress contest proved it. Haneoka was in the dressing room while Saint Tail was on stage. You saw her yourself. Just leave Haneoka alone." Asuka Jr. said to her as he walked down the busy hallways. Many familiar faces greeted him as he nodded a 'hello' to each acquaintance. Takamiya, as usual, trailed him to his locker determined to prove her point. Asuka Jr. opened his locker and stashed his books away.
" Just listen to me!" Takamiya pleaded. Asuka Jr., as a reply, slammed his locker door forcefully and stared at her silently. Takamiya froze and glanced into his deep green eyes. His handsome face was twisted with annoyance. " What about the baseball tickets? Haneoka lost her's the same time Saint Tail did." She said in a determined voice. Asuka Jr. shrugged and leaned up against his locker.
" So Saint Tail is a baseball fan. Most people in Seika City enjoy it. Why can't Saint Tail?" he asked defiantly. He smirked at her narrow face and watched the anger build up behind her blue eyes.
" That's not the point. You're just sticking up for Saint Tail because you don't want to catch her. This is all a little game for you. You like playing detective, don't you?!" Takamiya snapped. Instantly, she held her hands up to her mouth to prevent any more nasty words from spouting out. "Asuka…" she whispered. He glared at her angrily and stomped off to his next class. Many students had already gathered around their desks chatting with their fellow students. Meimi Haneoka talked happily with her few friends in the back of the class. Her bright orange hair dangled across her neatly pressed school uniform as she leaned forward to see what her best friend, Seira, was writing.
" Seira, thank you so much for doing my math homework. I'm still tired from last night." She said with a yawn.
" I'm sure you will atone for your sins later." Seira replied quickly scribbling the answers onto a piece of paper. Meimi looked stunned at her.
" My sins? This is great. A nun is blackmailing me," she said sarcastically. Seira's reply was giving Meimi's half-done homework in front of her. Meimi looked down at it with disbelief. " Oh C'mon Seira! It was a joke!"
" Smooth move Haneoka." A voice snorted with laughter from behind her. She whipped around to stare angrily at the face of Asuka Jr.
" No one asked you!" she snapped at him. Asuka Jr. smiled and lifted something from within his bag. It was the answers to the math homework.
" I was off chasing Saint Tail last night and I still finished. What were you doing, painting your toenails?" Asuka Jr. teased. Furious with anger, Meimi snatched his homework from his hand and ripped it into two. With a triumphant smile, she let them float gently down to the floor landing at the tip of Asuka's feet. His jaw dropped with disbelief as he stared down at his ruined homework. Meimi crossed her arms victoriously.
" Please may the Lord forgive these souls." Seira muttered under her breath. She finished writing Meimi's homework and put it on her desk.
" You know how long it took me to do that?" Asuka Jr. asked sadly kneeling down and picking up the remnants of his lost homework.
" Ooh what, a whole ten minutes?" Meimi said snottily.
" No, that's how long it took me to do my homework. This was the answer key for you, you stupid girl!" Asuka said cutting his theatrics and smiling revengefully. Meimi's face burned with anger as she stormed off to the other side of the room.
" That fight wasn't so bad." Ryoko said after a minute passed by.
" That was the earthquake. Wait for the aftershock." Seira informed her.
" Class let's begin our lessons on Algebra for today. Miss Haneoka, please take your seat so we can get started. Same to you, Mr. Asuka." Both students blushed with embarrassment as they made their way through the rows of occupied desks.
(He gets on my nerves so much! Argh! I just wanna strangle him sometimes!) Meimi thought clenching her fists under her wooden desk.
(Stupid girl! She didn't even say sorry!) Asuka Jr. thought angrily.
" Class, A squared plus B squared equals C squared. This is the Pythagorean Theory." The teacher said drawing the formula on the board. Anger built up inside Meimi as she watched the teacher carefully write the formula out correctly.
" Ugh!" Meimi yelled with frustration. Every student turned around to stare at her sudden outburst.
" Miss Haneoka, is something wrong?" the teacher inquired.
" N-no sorry." She said nervously. Meimi turned scarlet and sank under her desk. Ryoko looked at Seira with a questionable look.
" Aftershock." She stated. Ryoko's mouth opened with comprehension as she turned her attention back to the teacher.
" Let's continue class…" The teacher's voice droned out as Asuka Jr.'s mind filled with daydream.
(Saint Tail is not as rude as Haneoka. She is more graceful and lady-like and probably smarter than her. Definitely smarter if she can outwit me.) Asuka thought to himself. He lay back in his chair and relaxed. (Saint Tail is perfect.) His cheeks turned a pale red. (No! Stop thinking about her! Math, focus on math. Okay.) Asuka jolted up in his chair and picked up his pencil quickly. He frantically took down notes and tried to draw his mind away from Saint Tail.
An hour and a half later the school halls buzzed with the chatter. The ending classes finally were over as the eager students, with relief that the day was over, went to their lockers. Asuka Jr. slammed open his locker purposely closing the girls locker next to his.
" Oops! Sorry Haneoka." He said in a not so convincing voice. Meimi clenched her face as her nose wrinkled in anger.
" You…" she angrily growled. She managed to contain herself as she carefully reopened her locker. Meimi hastily grabbed her bags before slamming her locker. As she walked towards the exit, she faked a fall and crashed Asuka Jr.'s locker close. Asuka Jr., stunned, stared at her as she got up. "Oops!" she said mimicking his previous comment.
" I'm gonna miss the bus because of you!" he yelled at her face. Meimi smiled sweetly before replying.
" You could use the exercise. Maybe, with it, you could catch Saint Tail for once." Meimi said nastily while walking out the exit. Asuka Jr. shook with fury before violently punching his locker. She looked over shoulder to see him hastily trying to open his locker. She smiled to herself before stepping into the brisk spring air. The sun danced on her cheeks as she looked up into the sky. White doves flew to their local nest and disappeared into a nearby tree. The leaves waved gently as the breeze tangled her hair. Meimi sighed happily to herself as she walked to the attached church. Seira lingered near the altar, waiting at the entrance of her confessional.
" Hey Seira! Sorry I'm late." Meimi shouted across the church. Visitors turned their heads to see where the rude interruption came from. Meimi scratched the back of her head with embarrassment and quickly made her way to the confessional. She slammed to the door to safety behind her and breathed an embarrassed sigh.
" Really Meimi. We are in the house of God. Please try to manage yourself." Seira scolded her from behind the blind.
" Ah Gomen. Anyway, what's up?" Meimi hastily said trying to change the subject.
" You know how the library came under new management. The manager, Mr. Yokaido, has been stealing books from other libraries and adding it to ours. Your mission is to retrieve all 20 books and return them to their proper libraries." Seira said shutting her eyes slowly at the end of the short speech.
" This looks like a job for Saint Tail!" Meimi exclaimed.
Author's Note: So it wasn't action packed, but it'll get there. Please watch Meimi's and Asuka Jr.'s romance unfold. I still have to write the next chapter so review till then!
Love to all my fans,
