Chapter 14
Meimi waited in her cell as usual. Her clothes were in the wash so she was wearing a baggy shirt and jeans with too many holes. Meimi sat on the floor and sighed. Her back was propped up against the brick wall. She apathetically looked up at the sky and watched the gray clouds lackadaisically cross the sky. She sighed again and turned to the front bars.
(Nightfall and I am out of here.) She thought to herself. Meimi turned to her bed and stared at it listlessly. (I wonder what Asuka Jr. is looking at right now.)
Though it was not Asuka Jr. sharing her view from the inside, they were two very revengeful people. One was a battered woman sitting on a cot staring at her bunkmate. He was a balding man with dorky glasses.
" Soon, Yui we will have our revenge." Yokaido said staring up at the ceiling.
" But Yui wants to get out now!" She roared. For the past month both have them been restlessly waiting for their revenge.
" Kasanugi, Yokaido here is your newspaper." The guard said throwing them their mail. Yokaido sat up and snatched the newspaper off the ground. He read the headline and laughed loudly.
" What is so funny?" Kasanugi asked jumping to his side.
" Look…our little thief was captured. She's in the town jail." He said pointing out the details.
" So…" Yui implied.
" So we know where she is." He answered back.
" And…"
" And when we get out of here we know where to find her."
" But…"
" But we are in jail so there is nothing we can do…for now." Yokaido said.
" I say we brake out tonight." Yui said excitedly.
" How?"
" We…we steal the keys off of that guy. We've been watching him for the past month. We know his every move, his habits, everything." She said lowering her voice to a whisper."
" He leaves his keys on the desk every time he leaves the room." Yokaido said brainstorming aloud.
" We need like a pole or rod of some sort to get them off his desk." Yui said smiling with anticipation.
" We can use spaghetti and forks." Yokaido said clapping his hands together."
" Spaghetti?"
" To tie the forks together. The spaghetti is really sticky here so it will hold." He finished and smiled. Yui smiled with him and moved back to her bed. Twilight approached and the guard got up to eat supper. Yui and Yokaido pulled the forks from lunch out of their pockets and spilled them on the floor. Yokaido retrieved a dish from under his cot filled with spaghetti. Their plan worked perfectly as they received the keys.
" Let's go to the warehouse next to the police station. At midnight we attack." Yui said evilly. They dodged around corners and under things to prevent from anyone seeing them. Luckily for them, their guard loved to eat his dinner very slowly so no one notice their disappearance for an hour or so. They managed to make it to the front doors as they escaped to the streets. Yokaido split from Yui. They would meet six hours later at the warehouse.
Meimi made sure the coast was clear before she picked the lock with the card like she had done so many nights ago. She ran down the stairs and out into the midnight air. She filled her lungs with freedom before looking around. No one was around. Since the streets were deserted, she ran down the center. Meimi made sure she was in her Saint Tail outfit just in case.
" There she is. Let's get her." Yui exclaimed silently. Yokaido and Yui slipped from their hiding place. Meimi gradually heard footsteps behind her and twirled around. Two tall figures loomed closer and closer.
" Who are you?!" She whispered harshly.
" You know who we are." One of them said blankly. Meimi had heard the voice frequent times. It was twisted with hate, hate for her, hate for Saint Tail.
" Kasanugi." She whispered. Meimi turned her focus to the other figure. " And you would be…"
" Yokaido." He said shortly. Silence drifted in the air.
" What do you want." Meimi asked louder.
" Revenge." Yui said darkly. Both sprung to life at her. Meimi jumped into the air.
(I haven't been able to do this in so long.) She thought happily.
" Welcome, villains to Saint Tail's puppet show." She said taking out her top hat. She twirled it in her hand before grasping it tightly. " 1,2,3!" She shouted. Wires flew out and tied Yokaido to a neighboring street light. He dangled helpless as his arms were tied tightly to the top of the light. A second set of wires flew from the hat to tie Kasanugi. With a swift movement, she took out the familiar dagger. It cut through the wire like butter.
" Cut her down Yui!" Cheered Yokaido from his trap. A sinister grin spread across the older woman's face.
(Something's different.) Meimi thought quickly ducking under the blade. She quickly flipped over Yui. (She's not holding back. She's not afraid of pain!) Meimi thought. She panicked and tripped. Meimi flew to the ground and looked up at her attacker.
" This time you have no prop. No detective to protect you. Nothing!" She cackled evilly. Yui thrust down the dagger in to Meimi's gut. This time she was not acting. Meimi felt herself stumble to the ground. Everything but the pain was numb to her. Her hearing had died out. She could still feel the sinister laughter. Meimi's vision blurred.
(This is not a time to faint Meimi! Stay strong!) Her voice told her. She couldn't tell if she was saying out loud or thinking it.
" The lord…will always favor the righteous." Meimi said painfully. She lifted up the top hat. Hundreds of wires flew out and wrapped Yui unmercifully. Meimi strained a smile when she saw the villain wrapped up like a cocoon. Meimi looked down at the dagger jutting out of her stomach and watched the blood drip onto her black gloves. She looked up at the sky. " Was this your intention? Am I suppose to die like this?" Meimi whispered. Her pain doubled as she fell to the ground. Meimi looked at the asphalt around her. " I wanted to see Asuka Jr. one more time…" She whispered. Escaping from the pain, Meimi fell silent.
