~*a lonely road of faith*~
~* last chapter*~
meimi felt a warm hand on her shoulder, and she immediately turned around to see who had tapped her.
It was Asuka .jr
~* a lonely road of faith*~
"um.h-hi asuka .jr.what's up?" Meimi stampperd, remembering the events at recess. Asuka blushed a bit, and she knew he was thinking about recess too.
"well um.I was just wondering if you wanted to go see seira now." Asuka's blush deepened slightly.
Meimi finally let out the breath she had been holding in and sighed. After a moment of silence she smiled and said, "sure lets go." He held out a hand to her, which she took graciously, and with a smile. The two exited the small church, and walked out of the school grounds.silent.
It was like that until they were more than half way to the hospital. "I realy hope seira is ok." Meimi said with a bit of despair in her voice. Asuka wished that he could walk closer to her, and hold her, telling her everything would be ok, but he couldn't find the nerve too. not after with what happened today. So all he could say was, "don't worry im sure she's fine." Meimi nodded her head. Then again it was silent, this time until they reached the hospital.
Meimi walked up too the information table, and asked the nurse where Seira Mimoris room was. It was room #14. Meimi thanked the lady, and she and asuka walked down the cold hospital corridor. Meimi winced, she didn't like hospitals much. She could hear people coughing, and sneezing, and the sound of heart monitors. Finally she and Asuka reached room number 14. Meimi carefully knocked, and almost instantly she heard Seira's sweet voice say, "come in."
Meimi slowly pushed the door open and saw Seira sitting up in her bed, a bright smile covering her face. Meimi sighed in relief. 'seira doesn't look bad at all, but looks can be deceiving.' Meimi returned the smile, and pushed the door open all the way reveling asuka .jr standing behind her. He had a serious look on his face and Meimi could tell he didn't favor hospitals much either.
"hi seira. How are you?" meimia asked in a small voice. Then she shut the door after she and Asuka had walked in.
seira giggled. "calm down meimi im not sick ya know. and yes im feeling much better than before." Seira smiled at the end.
Meimi sighed in relief, then she smiled brightly at her best friend. Meanwhile Asuka sat in a chair next to the bed, and right behind Meimi. There was a silence in the room for a moment before seira finally spoke.
"meimi I want to ask you something." seira said in a low, deep, and dead serious voice. Meimi noticed that her smile was now completely gone.
"s-sure seira." Meimi said unsure of herself.
Asuka suddenly became alarmed with Meimi's reluctant tone, and listened closely to the girl's conversation.
"well I'm sure you know the rezone I'm here is no accident." Seira said in a still cold tone. Meimi bit her bottom lip hard, but nodded.
"well the man, and im sure it was a man, who did this to me mentioned your name Meimi."
Asuka heard her sharp intake of breath and he quickly stood up, and grasped her shoulders gently, comforting her.
"he-he did?" meimi asked, not sure she heard right.
Seira nodded, "the man said he was not going to hurt me, but you didn't know that, and that I would be the one to help him with something. But what got me is that he mentioned your name specifically." Seira looked at her friend hard. "oh and by the way Meimi, I was just put to sleep with a strange perfume, I was not hurt physicly." She smiled a bit after saying this.
Meimi's face flashed with relief when she heard this. "seira I also have something to tell you." Meimi said nervously. Seira raised a questioning eyebrow. "well you see the night you got hurt, I got this phone call that said something bad would happen to you and that." meimi stopped in mid sentence suddenly remembering Asuka was in the room, so she quickly recovered herself, "and that's all it said."
After Meimis sentence seira raised an eyebrow, but decided to question meimi latter. She had to admit that Meimi was acting quite out of her normal happy character, but she shrugged it of. There was a moment of tense silence in the room before seira finally answered. "oh.well that's a bit strange." the young nun remarked, not realy knowing what to say. Meimi only nodded her head.
There was another moment of intense silence in the room. Then the doctor came in announcing that visiting hours were over and that they would need to leave, then the doctor left just as fast as he had come in.
"well seira I guess ill see you soon then huh." meimi said uneasily. Seira smiled and responded. "I will see you sooner than you think, actually I hope to be out of here in two days." Seira beamed at the end. Meimi smiled too, relived that her friend would be out of here soon.
"well see ya seira!" meimi said brightly, before turning to leave, "feel better soon!" she walked to the door signaling for asuka to follow.Asuka nodded and turned to seira, "yes, I to hope you feel better, I also hope you will be well enough to return to school soon too." asuka said poitly. Seira smiled and nodded her head. Then the three said there goodbyes, and seira watched the door shut on meimi and asuka.
~*~ "asuka." meimi whispered as the two walked down the cold fall street. Meimi stopped in her tracks causing Asuka .jr to stop also.
"hmm?" he questioned in concern.
Meimi wrung her hands nervously. "what are your thoughts on what seira said earlier? You know about how the guy who hurt seira knows my name." Meimi looked up from the ground only to see asuka looking right at her. He to was wearing a worried look.
"I don't know Meimi.its kina hard to say, but I will deffinatly talk to my dad, he is the one in charge of seiras case." Meimi nodded her head in agremant. There was a dead silence for a moment, as the fall leaves crackled down the street.
"meimi. theres something I would like to ask you too." asuka said gruffly. Meimi raised am eyebrow, what on earth could it be?
" meimi I think- no, I know there' something more to this case. I don't know what, but I do know there's more to it.a lot more." Asuka said in one big breath. After he finished his sentence he look at Meimi hard, making her squirm under his piercing gaze.
Meimi took in a sharp intake of breath. What Asuka said had stunned her, he realy was a good detective! That's when meimi realized there was no way on earth she could lie to him right now, not when he had done so much for her.
"asuka." she started in a whisper and reluctant voice. Meimi lifted up her head, that until now had been staring at the ground, and her eyes meet with his. She saw that he was now hanging on her every word. "yes.asuka I will admit that you are right there is more to it.but." she trailed off.
"but what?" asuka asked in concern.
"but im afraid I cant tell you what it is.you see I wish I could but i-I cant.I'm so sorry." and this was the truth. Meimi wanted to tell him that she was saint tail, she wanted to just let it all out and admit everything, but she knew she couldn't there were too many people counting on her right now. Meimi looked back down at the ground afraid to look in his eyes any longer. There was a very long time of intense silence between the two as Asuka thought about the information he just received. Asuka looked at meimi then walked closer to her, so he was standing no more than an inch away. He reached his hand out and cupped her chin gently, making her look at him.
"why cant you tell me?" he asked in a soft velveteen voice.
"because you'd hate me." meimi relied even softer. That's when a smile started tugging at the corner of Asuka's lips.
"I thought we already cleared up that I could never hate you meimi." The smile grew playfully.
"trust me if you knew you would hate me. its something so unexpected you'd never know what hit you." Meimi said trying to dismiss this conversation as fast as possible.
"try me." asuka said firmly. Meimi sighed, she was trapped now. trapped on an endless and lonely road of faith.
"I mean what could it possibly be? The only bad things I could think of right now is you either played a joke on me, hurt me in someway, or, this one is going to sound crazy, or your saint tail or something. and Meimi even if you did do any one of those things or something different I could never hate you." His voice came out smooth and velvety soft. Meimi's eyes widened. She was afraid she heard wrong. Did he just say he wouldn't hate her even if she was saint tail?! At this point meimi was so tempted to tell him, but she would have to talk to seira and there were still so many people needing her.
"Asuka.believe me one day you'll know.and trust me that day will be soon, I promise." Meimi smiled slightly. Then she reached her hand up and rubbed her cheek with the back side of her hand. Asuka sighed in defeat. He knew meimis word was as good as gold, and if she promised to tell him he knew one day she would, and the fact that she was rubbing his cheek didn't help much, it made him feel all soft and mushy. Unconsciously the hand that didn't hold her chin moved down to encircle her waist, and pull her closer. "you promise to tell me soon?" Asuka said hopefully.
Meimi smiled, as she felt Asuka press lightly against her palm, "I promise." She said sincerely.
Asuka sighed, "I guess I can wait, but meimi I'll have you know I'm not a very patient person." Asuka said with a hint of playfulness in his voice. Meimi giggled lightly. "I know." she responded smiling.
There was a light breeze in the air. The sound of the fallen fall leaves rattled against the street. There were no cars on the near by road, and there was no one out but meimi and asuka.
"hey.asuka why don't we go over to that little park over there." Meimi pointed to the a little park across the street from them. Asuka turned around to she what she was talking about, and he to say the little park. It did look peaceful, with fallen red, orange, and yellow leaves on the ground. Asuka then turned back to look at the small red head.
"sure why not lets go." Asuka then realized he still had his arms wrapped around her waist. He blushed slightly and let her go, then grabbed her hand and dragged her to the small park.
The two entered the park, and saw a swing set for two, a water fountain, a small lake, and a trail that lead into the bushes and only heaven knows were else. Meimi had to admit she liked parks, especially this one, for two ressons. One, it was right across the street from her house. meimi looked over her shoulder and could just barely see her house standing next to asukas threw the mass amounts of trees. Two, because it was so nice and peaceful here.
"oh asuka lets go swing!" meimi said, cheerfully. Asuka could not help but chuckle slightly. Meimi was always so carefree, and so happy, but those were just two of the things that he adored about her. Asuka didn't have time to complete his thought for Miemi was already dragging him to the swing set. Asukas smile grew. this was going to be an interesting afternoon.
~* 2 hours later*~
Meimi and asuka were still sitting on the swings. For the last 45min asuka had been telling meimi some funny stories about himself. meanwhile meimi had given up the urge not to laugh and completely fallen off of her swing in laughter. Asuka heard meimi hit the ground with a large thud, and he became worried. When he looked at her and saw she was laughing so hard tears were pouring out of her eyes, and she was clutching her stomach in pain, he could not help but start laughing too.
After Meimi finally managed to calm down she climed back up on her swing and looked at asuka. "hahaha.that was so funny you realy did that?" she asked, while getting out the last bit of her giggles. Asuka only nodded. Meimi smiled brightly at him, before turning away, getting off of her swing, and walking over to the small lake. She looked up at the horizon, and saw the sun setting behind it. Asuka looked at her and walked over to her. When he reached her he wrapped both of his arms around her waist, possessively.
"its pretty is'nt it." Meimi commented.
Asuka tightened his grip on her, and pulled her closer to him. "yea." He agreed. Meimi smiled, and turned around so she could face him, though his arms still stayed firmly around her. She smiled again and looked up, her eyes boring into his.
"asuka.I want to thank you, so much for everything." Meimi began, "I mean you have done so much for me. First with the storm, then with seira, and then making me feel better earlier." Meimi blushed as she thought of how warm his lips had felt against hers, she blushed. Meimi also saw that he to was blushing too. Meimi looked down at the ground to embarrassed to say anymore. Asuka smiled simple and sweetly, then brought one of his hands up and cupped meimis chin.
"you don't need to thank me Meimi. remember im always here for you, and I could never stand to think if something happened to you and I could have prevented it," asuka shook his head, "I could never live with myself."
Meimi smiled a small simple smile, but that smile was filled with so much joy and passion. She then reached her hand up and brushed away his bangs. Then she rose on her tiptoes and placed a sweet kiss on his forehead. Asuka sighed mentally at the softness of her lips against his forehead. Meimi released her lips from his forehead and let herself stand regularly. There eyes met and the moment became intense. Asuka could feel himself leaning closer to Meimi, and Meimi unaware of it, was doing the same thing. Finally their lips met in a passionate kiss. Asuka let go of her chin and slid his hand around her waist, and pulled her even closer to him, While meimis arms wrapped around his neck, and her finger nails rubbed lightly against the back of his neck. Asuka wrapped his fingers around the part of her hair that reached her waist. Even thought this was not the first time he had kissed Meimi it still felt brand new, and better than before. He just couldn't quite get enough of her.
When both were just about to suffocate, they pulled away reluctantly, and slowly. The two gazed into each others eyes, for a long time before speaking.
"meimi." asuka breathed lightly, before placing his forehead aginst hers.
Meimi giggled nervously, "asuka." she said mimicking him. He smiled and chuckled lightly. He looked down at her. Both of there faces were burning furiously. Asuka then decided on something, hw would tell meimi he loved her, it was now or never.
"meimi." asuka repeated her name again.
"hmmm?" she hummed, while letting go of his neck, and placing her hands on his chest.
"meimi.i.well I. you see I lo-" he was then cut off by the meimis piercing scream. Asuaks face became filled with worry as he heard Meimi scream. He was sure she would have fallen to the ground if not for him holding her up. Meimi buried her face in his chest, and held onto the material of his jacket tighter.
"Meimi!!! Meimi!!!! Are you all right?! What's wrong?!" asuka said franticly.
Meimi shut her eyes tight and tried to focus on where the pain was coming from. In was in her leg. "m-my leg." she barely managed to say. Asuka wrapped his arms tighter around her, then he looked over the top of her head and his eyes widened. There, on the back of her leg was a very deep cut, but that's not all that worried him. What worried him the most was not to far from her leg was an arrow, with some sort of paper attached to it.
Asuka carefully slipped one hand under meimis knee, and the other around her back and carried her to the nearest bench. Asuka signaled for her to stay here while he want to retrieve the arrow. Asuka ran over to the sharp object and pulled hard at it. It was stuck in the ground very well, but he still got it out. Then he slipped the paper off and ran back to meimi. He quickly removed his tie, and wrapped it around her leg, to stop the bleeding. Then he sat down on the bench next to her and showed her to arrow.
"this is what cut you." Asuka said trying to calm down.
Meimi looked at the object. Her hands began to tremble at the thought of that cutting her. Asuka noticed this and with his free hand he picked up on of meimis hands.
"don't worry, I don't think your cut is that deep." Asuka said reassuringly. He then dropped her hand and looked at the arrow again. That's when he noticed the note. He looked at it for another moment before releasing it from the arrow. Then he handed it to meimi.
Meimis eyes flew back and forward as she read the notes contents. Then her eyes widened as she relized what it had said.
This was defiantly not good.

It was Asuka .jr
~* a lonely road of faith*~
"um.h-hi asuka .jr.what's up?" Meimi stampperd, remembering the events at recess. Asuka blushed a bit, and she knew he was thinking about recess too.

"meimi.i.well I. you see I lo-" he was then cut off by the meimis piercing scream. Asuaks face became filled with worry as he heard Meimi scream. He was sure she would have fallen to the ground if not for him holding her up. Meimi buried her face in his chest, and held onto the material of his jacket tighter.
"Meimi!!! Meimi!!!! Are you all right?! What's wrong?!" asuka said franticly.
Meimi shut her eyes tight and tried to focus on where the pain was coming from. In was in her leg. "m-my leg." she barely managed to say. Asuka wrapped his arms tighter around her, then he looked over the top of her head and his eyes widened. There, on the back of her leg was a very deep cut, but that's not all that worried him. What worried him the most was not to far from her leg was an arrow, with some sort of paper attached to it.
Asuka carefully slipped one hand under meimis knee, and the other around her back and carried her to the nearest bench. Asuka signaled for her to stay here while he want to retrieve the arrow. Asuka ran over to the sharp object and pulled hard at it. It was stuck in the ground very well, but he still got it out. Then he slipped the paper off and ran back to meimi. He quickly removed his tie, and wrapped it around her leg, to stop the bleeding. Then he sat down on the bench next to her and showed her to arrow.
"this is what cut you." Asuka said trying to calm down.
Meimi looked at the object. Her hands began to tremble at the thought of that cutting her. Asuka noticed this and with his free hand he picked up on of meimis hands.
"don't worry, I don't think your cut is that deep." Asuka said reassuringly. He then dropped her hand and looked at the arrow again. That's when he noticed the note. He looked at it for another moment before releasing it from the arrow. Then he handed it to meimi.
Meimis eyes flew back and forward as she read the notes contents. Then her eyes widened as she relized what it had said.
This was defiantly not good.
. . . it was a lonely road of faith. . .
