RuRu: HOWDEE! Yes it is I, RURU! MUWHAHA! Hey peeps! I am quite aware I suck at math, thank you all for pointing that out! I have people who like my story! WHEE! I feel so loved! Well um I sorry I update so slowly, but I can't get on all the time!

As for the reviews I thought where funny:

From: Chichi-Sama

i LOVE your fic! and i'm just saying this but, in 8x+4=20 you take 20 and subtract 4 you get 16 (not 18) then you devide it by 8 giving you 2. so the corect answer would x=2. hehe, i like math... anyway UPDATE SOON. that is all...

From: Dreamy-Gal

really gud chapter!! no it wasnt corny!! how dare u say it was corny!! course, id rather u used the hair band instead of the glove, but i guess that would have revealed the identity, rite? fanx for emailin me!

From:starlightgenie

wow, what a great chapter! i hope asuka jr. will be getting better. i will be looking forward to the next chapter. however, i believe that 20 subtracted by 4 is 16, not 18. yea...that is all.

As for the question, if I laughed when I wrote the chapter? Well no, I though they were corny lollyz!

Disclaimer: I do not own Saint Tail, otherwise this would have already happened and I would probably have not made very much money because Megumi's stories are cooler lollyz!

Chapter 3 MONDAY

Meimi laid there not wanting to move, and rolled over to the corner of the bed, but maybe to far seeing as she fell to the floor with a thud.

"Ow..." She said standing up rubbing her head.

She looked down and remembered the night before and then it hit her again, she shuddered thinking about what had happened. It was her fault.

"Squeak..." Ruby looked up at her sadly.

"Ruby, I did something bad, and now he's hurt because of me." She said tears swelling up.

She sluggishly got dressed and walked down stairs, she sat down on the couch and frowned, she turned on the TV only to see the story about last night. She saw the parents of the kid and then the information about Asuka Jr. came up. She couldn't take it and turned the TV off.

'Asuka, I'm sorry.' She laid her head down tears streaming down her face.

She looked up at the clock to notice the time, and she needed to get to school soon. She got up brushed her hair, pulled her hat on and walked out the door. She felt very exhausted and sad from last night. She had thought about it more and it had been him who took the bullet for her. Then she knew that he only took the shot for Saint Tail, and she felt a pain right in her heart. She walked into her school building after arriving and took her seat ignoring the annoyed look she gained from Seirra.

"What's wrong my dear Meimi?" Sawatari said placing a hand on her head.

"Nothing." She said sighing.

She quite honestly didn't feel like talking to anyone, especially Sawatari. She just wanted to be left alone, to give herself time to recover from the shock. She glanced over at Asuka's friends in a group reading the paper about all the happenings of last night.

"So you think that Asuka is okay?" One of his younger friends asked.

"Hey um, do you guys know where Asuka is?" Meimi asked them, having gotten up from her chair and walked over there.

"Yeah their put him in the hospital, the one near the book store."

"Ok thanks, I just wanted to send him a card or something." Meimi said putting a fake smile on her face.

"Sure...." His friends said confused.

Meimi returned to her seat and the teacher soon began class. Meimi basically zoned out the whole day, and Seirra was the first to notice this.

"Sister." Seirra said raising her hand.

"Yes Seirra?" The sister said turning to face her.

"Meimi seems a bit sick, would you mind if I took her down to the nurse?" Seirra asked placing a worried look on her face.

"Of course, Meimi collect your things and Seirra will escort you down to the nurse's station." The sister replied nodding and returning to the lesson.

Meimi stood up slowly and followed Seirra down to the nurse's office. She kept the same blank stare. Seirra took her out of the hall and in the deserted bathroom.

"Meimi what is the problem?" She asked frowning.

"Seirra it's all my fault! I sent him a calling card and he came! He....he was shot because he took the shot for me....or rather Saint Tail." Meimi said hugging herself, trying to hold back tears again.

Seirra reached over and comforted her best friend, she felt so bad for her.

"Come on lets get you to the nurse." Seirra said.

"She'll get you to go home early so you can get some rest and relax." She finished leading Meimi out of the bathroom.

"Thanks Seirra." Meimi said sounding grateful.

As they walked out a stall door creaked open leaving a somewhat stunned Aya standing there. She quickly composed herself and smiled.

"Well Meimi Hanenoke it seems there is more to you then what appears to be." Aya said smirking.

"This will come in handy later when she comes." She said then turned and walked out.

*****

Meimi walked home a bit cheerier then before, she was going to stop by and see Asuka. She walked towards the hospital and her stomach caved. Would he want to see her? She asked for the room number and went up.

"132" She said again and again to keep her from forgetting while riding up the elevator.

She eventually got there and knocked on the door. No one answered so she invited her self in to see Asuka Jr. dozing. She walked over towards his bed and nudged him a bit. He groaned and woke up.

"Wha-....Hanenoke?" He said sitting up, then wincing remembering what had happened.

"Hey. How are ya` feeling?" She asked with a half happy, half worried look.

"How do you think I feel? I feel like shit." He said answering his own sarcastic question.

"I stopped by to say hi and see you." She said sitting down beside him.

Asuka looked at her a bit shocked, "You came just to see me?"

"Yeah, after all there aren't many people I know in this hospital besides you." She said smiling again.

Asuka looked at her happy face and felt like smiling himself. She just....it was unexplainable, and he didn't want to make sense of it all.

"Well...." He said realizing what he was doing and began blushing furiously.

"Saint Tail got away again....why can't I just catch her already."

"Maybe she has her own reasons why she can't let you catch her." Meimi said trying to make a conversation with him.

"So um, how did your dad take the injury?" Meimi asked beginning to turn red.

"Scolded me." Asuka said bluntly, putting on his cute innocent look.

"She warned me to stay home, but I had a bad feeling about this one. Plus I can't pass up any chance to catch her, no matter what the risk is." He said clenching his fists determined.

Meimi frowned and looked at Asuka sadly. Asuka looked up at her and saw her expression, and felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"Sorry...." He said frowning.

"That's alright." Meimi said standing up.

Asuka's frown deepened, "Leaving?"

"Yes, I need to get home." Meimi said placing a fake smile on her face.

"I hope to see you in school soon."

"I'm going back tomorrow." Asuka said.

"WHAT!?" She exclaimed perplexed.

"I can't miss any school." He said truthfully.

"YEAH! But you were SHOT!" Meimi exclaimed.

Asuka gave her an I'm-fine smile and she shuddered, she couldn't take her brilliant blue eyes off of him.

"Well I better get back to healing." Asuka said smiling at her.

"Bye Asuka!"

"Bye..." He said watching her rush out the door.

".....Meimi"

*****

Meimi hit her bed and literally pashed out. She was exhausted; she had had no sleep and had been stressed. She was happy to know that Asuka was coming back though, extremely happy.

"Ruby, maybe things will get better." She said reaching a weak arm over and petting Ruby.

"Squeak, SQUEAK!" Ruby exclaimed happily.

Meimi rolled over and dozed off dreaming about the day Asuka would come back.

*****

Around five Meimi awoke to the sound of the telephone. She groggily got up and answered it. Aya was on the other line.

"Hey Meimi, I just wanted to call and see how you were." Aya said.

"Better." Meimi replied still sleepy.

"That's good," Aya said happily, "so how was Asuka Jr.?"

"How did you...?" Meimi asked stunned.

"Call it a hunch."

"He's good, he's coming back tomorrow." Meimi said in a happy voice.

"You care about Asuka a lot more then you let on I presume." Aya said knowingly.

"...."

"Its ok Meimi you can tell me." Aya said trying not to laugh.

"So maybe I do have a certain feeling for him." Meimi said blushing.

"That's adorable Meimi. Well I best be getting off!" Aya said.

"Right! BYE!"

"I wish you well." Aya replied, before hearing the clicking noise on the other end signaling the caller had disconnected.

"You're gonna need all the luck you can get." Aya said frowning.
