Meimi had been unable to find Seira and the girl didn't understand. The only thing Meimi knew was that it wasn't like Seira to just disappear. "Where did she go?" Meimi was getting even more concerned, not knowing where the girl she had a crush on was and it frustrated her.

When she went back home, Eimi was looking upset and Meimi wondered what was wrong with her mother. At first, she wanted to talk about Seira to the woman, but seeing how haunted she looked made Meimi change her mind. Her mother was already upset and she didn't want to make it worse. However, when Eimi started talking to her and telling her about things, Meimi looked at the woman in horror. Somehow, Meimi had thought that her mother's rival had Seira and yet, she didn't want to believe it. She didn't want to scare herself like that. Meimi wanted to think that Seira was at the church, where she always was.

Meimi didn't want to think about Seira being in her mother's rival's grasp.

Shaking her head, Meimi knew she just needed to keep on looking for Seira.

The girl just had to be safe.

Meimi wouldn't take anything else.

Seira had to be safe.

When Meimi finally met Maju, Rosemary's daughter, and seeing the way the girl was smirking at her, Meimi knew her wish for Seira's safety had been just that - wishful thinking.

Meimi glared at the girl and Maju sneered back.

Nice to meet you, Saint Tail," the girl greeted her as if they were friends and it pissed Meimi off.

"I'm not your friend," she growled out.

"True but that nun is," Maju noticed the way Meimi's eyes darkened when she mentioned the girl. Maju couldn't help but smirk at her.

She was happy to see that Meimi was pissed.

"Poor girl didn't realize she had been taken until Mom and I spoke to her," Maju knew she was having too much fun with Saint Tail, even though she wasn't in her outfit as Saint Tail.

"You better not have hurt her," she growled out, and Maju grinned at her.

"Don't worry, Saint Tail. Your little girlfriend is safe," Maju told the older girl, knowing she was making her even angrier. "Her safety is guaranteed," Maju may be a thief but she had her own morals, as loose as they were and she understood Seira was an innocent party. "She's innocent," she said, getting Meimi to glare at her.

"Of course, she's innocent," Meimi knew they were agreeing that she wasn't a thief; while she wasn't innocent as she had been helping a thief, Seira doesn't go out and steal things just to put their plans into motion.

Maju let out a small sigh and turned away from Meimi. "You're not going to give up peacefully, are you?" The girl knew she didn't even have to ask.

Meimi wasn't going to give up unless she threatened Seira and Maju wanted a fair fight.

Meimi tensed up, causing Maju to let out a small giggle. "None of that now. I'm quite a fair person. She will be safe from bargaining," she told the orange-haired girl. Meimi tightened her fists, hating that Seira was with them in the first place.

It wasn't safe for her and Meimi hated that she hadn't known that Seira was gone until it was way too late. "Are you seriously mad at yourself right now? You didn't even know we were here, did you?" Maju knew she was mocking the girl but she didn't care.

She wanted to piss the girl off and Maju knew it was working. After all, Seira wasn't around to keep Meimi calm.

"Give her back," Meimi growled out and Maju pretended to think about it.

"No can do. She is helpless when she's out of the way, don't you think?" Maju asked.

Meimi couldn't keep herself calm and she was willing to start fighting Maju and that was when Maju sneered at her.

"Temper, temper. You don't want Seira to know you hurt a little girl," Maju watched the way Meimi's shoulders tensed at the mention of Seira./span/p

"Leave her name out of your mouth," Meimi hissed at the girl, causing Maju to sigh at the rage Meimi was freely showing.

Maju merely huffed. "You want her back? You have to give up being Saint Tail," she told the orange-haired girl.

Meimi didn't even have to think about it.

Seira was more important than being some fucking thief.

Maju noticed the way Meimi was looking at her and she couldn't believe it.

"All for some girl?" Maju figured Meimi was crushing on Seira but the sight she was getting was really rich."I don't care about Saint Tail. Seira is..." Meimi bit her lip. She was just about to claim the girl as hers and Maju's eyes lit up like a light bulb.

"You really are in love with her," she said. Meimi glared at the girl, knowing she had almost said what she would never say to anyone else.

Seira was hers and Meimi knew she was going to confess to her once she got her back.

"I will save Seira from you and Rosemary," Meimi bristled at Maju, getting the girl to sneer at her.

"Try it, Saint Tail. We're ready for you." Maju smirked.
