"Yes, why would somebody want to take advantage of you, and ruin your saintly reputation?" the voice said, with a hint of malice in it, as well as a hint of amusement. Asuka pulled Meimi in tightly to his still bare chest, while Seira stood defiantly beside the couple.

"What do you want from us?" Seira asked calmly.

"You were only part of the plan. I can't have you turning me in now that you've figured me out." The woman said in a sing-song voice.

"But, how-" Asuka Jr. began, but he was interrupted by the woman.

"How did I know that Meimi was Saint Tail, and you didn't?" she asked. Asuka Jr. gulped and nodded. "Well, isn't that cute? I'll just tell you the entire conspiracy while I have you here." she told them. "I wanted the necklace to complete my collection. I have an entire collection of Jade jewelry. I heard about a theif whole stole back for the wronged. Saint Tail. I followed all of the evidence to your school, where I heard you," she said pointing to Seira, "mention that 'This is a job for Saint Tail! Can you pull it off?" she informed them in a mocking tone.

"I decided that I would tell my lie to you, and that you would have Saint Tail 'right the wronged' and 'return the necklace' to its 'rightful owner'. You fell for it easily, and Saint Tail stole something 'back' that had never been stolen in the first place." she laughed. "And you gave it to me at the church where I was 'praying'." the woman said. "And I figured it to be a great time to get revenge for my daughter, as well." she laughed.

"You! I've seen you before! You're Mami's mother!" Meimi said, shocked. (a/n: I couldn't find my books, is that her? the girl who stole the wedding dress design?)

"Yes, I am. Very clever, Saint Tail." she said.

"You leave her alone." Asuka growled.

"Shut up you little brat. I'm going to be rid of you all, now that you know what I've done." she told them.

"How did you know we were here?" Seira asked.

"I followed you and the pony tail. How else?" she asked, drawing a sword. She charged at Meimi.

"1..2..3!!!" Meimi shouted.
