Chapter 14
Author's Note: Yes, I know. It did take a long time to update, but not as long as usual. Alas, this story is winding down, but for all you Saint Tail fans, I have concocted another brilliant idea that will begin to unravel when my other fics calm down a bit.
Disclaimer: I don't own Saint Tail, but if I did... goes off into dreamland
Meimi watched the limousine pull out of sight. After the night engulfed it, she blankly stared at the sky. What had just happened was so overwhelming, so terrifying, and so liberating. It seemed like now the curse that connected her with Toko, her mistaken marriage, was far from sight. Toko would only be watching from afar. She could enjoy her life with the person she always wanted to be with, Asuka Jr.
She brought her hands gently to her eyes to wipe away the tears that almost appeared. Meimi felt so free, finally. All she had to worry about now was her terrorizing husband breathing down her neck. That really was nothing to worry about since she wouldn't ever bring her story to officials and especially not to Asuka Jr. She had already put him through so much. Meimi was sure that Toko would leave the two of them alone after awhile.
Meimi entered the airport and walked towards the ticket counter. There, she was approached by a man dressed in a black suit with dark glasses. She stopped and stared at him dumbly.
"From Toko." He said under his breath. He slipped it to her and turned to walk away.
"Thank you." She called, not at all discreet. She opened it up and gasped. "First class?! I can't accept this." She went to follow the man, but he had already disappeared. She shrugged and made her way to the gate. There she saw two men dressed in black sitting in the waiting seats. They looked up at her casually and returned to their business magazines. Meimi shuttered before sitting down next to one of them. "With Toko?" She asked quietly and indirectly. The closest one nodded his head slightly. She sighed. Maybe Toko would be a hassle after all. She now recalled him having the habit of being flashy with everything. She once came home to an apartment full of roses and candles. Meimi smiled at the first positive memory she recalled. She assumed there were many more and in time they would pleasantly come back to her.
The three boarded the airplane in a single line; one man in black in front of her and one behind her. She gritted her teeth to hide her nerves. Meimi glanced down at her ticket and then located at her seat. To her horror, the whole first class was already filled with identical looking men in black suits with sunglasses. She let her mouth hang open as she seated herself next to her boarding buddies. Only one guard looked different. He had bright blonde hair and was much shorter and thinner than the rest.
"Don't you think this is going just a bit too far? I mean, how many guys does it take to watch me? Probably one or two at the most. I wasn't happy with the idea to begin with, but this makes me sick." She told the man next to her. She couldn't tell whether he was looking at her behind those dark glasses.
"We're only doing this for the Boss' protection." He explained.
"From lil' ole me?" She asked innocently.
"Ma'am, these are our orders. Please don't interfere with them." He shortly said ending the conversation. Meimi pouted and threw herself against her chair. This was aggravating. The plane lifted from the ground. Meimi fell into a dreamless sleep from being bored. She woke up to notice that the flight was almost over. She frowned when she realized that the men were still there.
(No one treated Saint Tail like this. Where did the respect go? Hey! Wait a minute...) she thought deviously. A conniving grin spread to her ears.
"I have to go to the little girl's room." She said sweetly. The man on the end promptly got up and let her by. When her back was to him, Meimi gagged. She couldn't stand being sweet to these scumbags. Meimi entered the small, cramped bathroom and locked it quickly behind her. "Hehehe...1, 2, 3!" She shouted. A burst of confetti later the thief, Saint Tail, was now boarding. Meimi giggled to herself and twirled. She missed the way the pink skirt whirled around her body. After her mini fashion show, she quietly opened the door. Luckily, there was a hand-held microphone, that was connected all the speakers on the plane, implanted on the wall next to the bathroom. She grabbed it hoping no one had noticed her. There was a curtain that separated the bathroom area from the seating area. She hid behind it and switched on the microphone.
"Welcome all to the Saint Tail Magic Show...on an airplane. This is a once in a lifetime deal so don't miss out. Now presenting the main entertainer, hired by 'the Boss' himself, Saint Tail!" Meimi announced dramatically. "1, 2, 3!" She shouted and snapped. The lights flickered out. An arousal of chaos rose from behind the curtain. Meimi flipped it out of her way to notice all of the guards trying to rush the isle at once.
"Who let her on the flight?!" One of them exclaimed. "Where's the girl?! Find them both! That rotten Saint Tail probably has taken Meimi hostage." The blonde-haired guard ordered. He seemed like the head of the pack. His voice was familiar to Meimi. Concealed by the darkness, Meimi hopped from the top of each seat to the leader. The leader blindly looked around for either of the two. "Damn!" He swore. He tore off his glasses. Meimi gasped.
(L-Lina?! What is she doing here?!) Meimi thought stunned. She was so astounded that she fell into the seat behind her. She landed awkwardly, her waist stuck between the back of seat and the seat behind it. Her legs were straight up in the air.
"Asuka Jr. I need back up!" She yelled. She pulled out a gun and wildly aimed it at every guard. At her request, Asuka Jr. and two guards appeared from the cockpit and the men's bathroom.
"Freeze! You're under arrest!" He exclaimed flooding the guards with the light of his flashlight. They all froze as the rest of the policemen infiltrated the guard. "Put down your guns!" He ordered. There was a clatter of guns dropping to the ground. After the safety of everyone was insured, Asuka Jr. pushed the guards up against the far wall. He picked up their guns and handed them to his policemen. "Someone get the lights." He said breathing a looser.
Meimi propped herself up and changed back out her thief clothes. Before doing that, she snapped her fingers to return the lights.
"Meimi? Are you here?" Asuka Jr. asked after the unexplainable return of the lights.
"I'm here." She said weakly. Asuka Jr. quickly rushed over to her and embraced her.
"Are you okay?" He asked. His voice was full of concern.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She said and released him. "How did you know I was here?" She asked lowering her voice to whisper. Asuka Jr. laughed gently before answering.
"C'mon Meimi, I wouldn't leave you unwatched for a second. I had my men watching you the whole time after I found you on the streets." He said and laughed again. Meimi blinked, bewildered. Asuka Jr. had just pulled off what Toko had attempted to do. He had his men watching her for the longest time and she didn't know. This proved that he was more mischievous than Toko.
"That's sorta creepy." She admitted.
"Not as creepy as your ex-husband." Asuka Jr. retaliated.
"True." Meimi laughed.
"Would you two cut the sweet talk and give me a hand? I still have to find Saint Tail. She couldn't have gotten off the plane. We have her this time Asuka Jr.!" Lina exclaimed. She clenched her fist in determination. Asuka Jr. winked at Meimi who giggled silently. It looked like things were about wrapped up.
Asuka Jr. and Lina took another flight back to Japan to find Toko and arrest him and the rest of his men. The Seika City Police helped back-up their old friends. Meimi waited eagerly back in New York with Seira for the return of their detective.
After the whole fiasco was said and done with, after Toko and his gang were in jail, and after Meimi filed a divorce suit against the 'sensible' crazed husband, Asuka Jr. proposed to her. They got married in Central Park. People like Sawatari, Seira, Lina, and their parents were invited. People like Toko and his gang were not.
Seira found her 'fish in the sea'. Two years later Sawatari and her eloped to Las Vegas where they got married at the Little White Chapel. Seira always did have a knack for adventure. Lina became the head of the NYPD after Asuka Jr. and Meimi ran away to the country. She worked happily as she bossed around an entire police force.
Asuka Jr. became the mayor of a small town in the middle of no where. Meimi worked beside him as his campaign manager. They lived happily ever after in that small town where no one had ever heard of the infamous Saint Tail. That's why it was a total surprise when the thief started to appear at night. No one could stop her not even her husband. He was the one who found the 'lost lambs' after all.
Author's Note: Okay, so the story is not only wrapping up, it is completely over. Yes folks, that is it. I wanted to have another chapter after this totally dedicated to Seira and Sawatari but I don't think I could have dragged on the three sentences I just wrote above and turn it into an extra chapter. I know the ending was extremely corny but I wouldn't have it any other way. I want to thank you all for reading and especially for reviewing. When I started this fic, I thought, 'this fic is going to get me 100 reviews.' But now I see it isn't about the reviews, it's about the readers enjoying the story. Thank you everyone. And I hopefully will see you in my third Saint Tail fic coming soon. After I post this chapter, I will write a summary about it in my user info page. Check it out if you're interested.
