Part 2: To Love or to Steal


By: Vampire Huntress

After dragging Asuka out of the house, Meimi turned on him and started to lecture him. “Asuka, that wasn’t very nice. You could have been nicer to him. He was a really nice guy. You should have seen him with his grandmother it soooooo sweet.” Asuka grimaced and continued to walk in silence as Meimi gushed over the man and his new rival for Meimi’s affections. “ASUKA!!!!!!,” yelled Meimi “Have you been listening to a word I said???” Asuka nodded and said"Hai”. “Well do you have anything to say for yourself??”“No not really. He was being just as rude as I was.” Meimi eyes widened. “Asuka.... What has gotten into you???

I mean sure you can be rude and mean but this is just not like you. What’s the matter?? You can tell me y’know.” Asuka turned to smile at the girl. “ It’s nothing really. Don’t worry about it.” He grabbed her hand and said in a vibrant voice “ come on lets go to the beach. We’ve wasted too much time now.” Meimi instantly snapped out of the dreary mood when she saw Asuka’s mood brighten. “Alright...let’s go.” The two took off running toward the beach almost knocking an elderly couple over as they ran past. When they got there, both collapsed on the sand laughing. “ Did you see that old couple looking at us?? I think I old guy was going to hit me with his cane,” laughed Asuka. Meimi chuckled as she looked out on to the ocean. “Awww....this is the life..I have a pretty girl sitting next to me. I have the wind blowing thru my hair. What else could I possibly want or need?” said Asuka as she laid down on the sand and shut his eyes. He was about to say something else when he felt sand hit him. He sat up coughing and flailing his arms around, looking all like a mad tornado. When he finally finished, and when he could open his eyes, he saw a certain redhead laughing her head off. “ So you thought it would be funny to throw sand on me huh??” said Asuka as he got to his feet. Meimi nodded and started to back away slowly. Asuka grinned and followed the retreating girl as she continued to back away. Meimi turn around and started to flee up the beach. Her long red hair fanned out behind her as she ran. Whoa thought Asuka she can run pretty well for a girl. And with that thought he began to run after the girl who had already got a good headstart on him. Asuka continued to run but soon found out that Meimi was nowhere to be seen.

Then he saw her and she was talking to that, that guy that they had met earlier. His eyes narrowed and he stopped running to where they were and he sat down on the beach and started to look out at the waves and the beautiful sunset. He was so upset he didn’t dare go over there and say something cause he knew he would end up putting his foot in his mouth like he did last time. Meimi blushed as Darius gave brushed her hair back from her flushed face. “So Meimi…we meet again. What are you doing here all by yourself cutie?” said Darius. Just as she looked up to answer she noticed that Asuka was sitting on the beach and he had a sad look on his face…...
