Yo. I know I'm supposed to be working on Walking Alone or even more importantly studying for my last two finals but screw it. I'm feeling the urge to write. And I actually got a request for a Michi. As odd as that is, I actually am going to do it. Now, I know some people are going to flip and say but you're a Mimato and Taiora fan, how can you do this? Well, in all honesty I find that it's easiest to write Mimi and Tai individually so why not try together. Anyways, enough for the long as hell authors note. WARNING! I'm turning my language filter off for this one! If you're easily offended by crude language go back now.
Disclaimer: Normally, this would be where I give a big old fuck you to Toei for giving the world Sorato. But this time, I want to thank him. Toei owns Digimon not me. That's why I'm writing a Michi.
Ch.1: The Pleasant Surprise
Tai's POV
It is my senior year. I'm finally the team captain of the school soccer team and we are the best team around. We've been good every year that I've been here mostly because of me. Unfortunately, just having me hasn't been enough. We got to the national semi-finals last year but lost on penalties despite my hat trick. This year though we are phenomenal. The addition of Davis and Ken to the team put us over the top. We are absolutely dominant.
Davis and I are forwards, while Ken plays center mid. Last year, teams would double me. If they do that this year though, it leaves Davis free and he's almost as good as me. Combine that with how well Ken sets us both up and we have an unstoppable three-headed juggernaut on offense. It is no wonder that we have the most goals scored in all of Japan.
Our dominant offense is the reason we are where we are right now. Tomorrow night, we will be playing for the high school championship for all of Japan. We won our last game 3-1. I scored a goal and Davis had two. Ken assisted Davis on both of his scores. It felt really damn good to beat the team we beat, seeing as they were the team who knocked us out last year.
Suddenly, someone broke my reverie about that painful game.
"Good luck tomorrow Tai!" Says a girl with black hair.
"Thanks! It means a lot!" I reply with a smile.
Was it bad for me not to know her name? After all, she was constantly being nice to me. Oh well, I'll give her a chance sometime. Maybe, if I go on a date or two with her, Sora will get jealous!
Immediately, after thinking that I scold myself. Even if it is my deepest desire to be with Sora, I have to accept the fact that she chose Matt. On top of that it would hardly be fair to this girl to use her just to make Sora jealous.
"Yo Tai! Over here!" I hear Davis yell.
"Coming!" I yell back.
Despite being a freshman, Davis is one of the most popular kids at school. At first, that was a weird concept for me to comprehend. Then, I brought it up with Izzy once who gave me a great rundown.
Flashback
"Hey, Izzy was I as popular as Davis is when I was a freshman?"
"Ummm I don't know Tai."
"Oh come on Izzy, I won't get mad or anything."
"No, I mean I really don't know. I was still in 8th grade when you were a freshman. Mimi and I are a year younger than you, Matt, and Sora. Remember?"
"Oh yeah."
"I do see where you're coming from though. I guess it has something to do with him being a Digidestined, a good soccer player, and also his personality. His confidence probably attracts a lot of people."
End Flashback
That's probably why it is no surprise that I had to get through a crowd to get to him. As I reach him give him a friendly whack on the head.
"You called for me?" I ask.
"Ow! Son of a bitch Tai, that hurt like hell!" He replies rubbing his head.
"Oh suck it up you bitch!" I tease.
"So what'd you need me for?"
"Oh yeah. Have you visited Matt yet?" He asks suddenly sounding serious.
"Yeah, I have." I reply.
"How's he doing?"
"Not too well. He has a broken arm, a shit-ton of cuts and bruises, and like three broken ribs."
"Damn. I hope he gets out soon." Davis says more to himself than to me.
"I hate to tell you, but he can't leave until Sunday. Doctor's orders."
"Wait, but Tai the big game is tomorrow." Davis says with disappointment lacing his words.
"Yeah, I know. Matt tried to argue with the doc in front of me but the old guy wouldn't budge. Also, I told him not to push himself. I don't want him to get worse just so he can come support us." I try making Davis understand.
"Yeah that makes sense but it is nice to have everyone come and support us."
"For sure. Matt was really pissed. Good thing Sora was there to calm him down about it."
"Oh yeah speaking of her, is she going to come? Or is she going to give Matt some company?"
My stomach did a flip at his question. If I could have any one person come and support me at tomorrow's game it would be Sora. I would trade the whole damn crowd for her alone. Unfortunately, I wasn't sure if she would come. Although, I knew Matt would tell her to go to the game I could definitely see Sora just sticking with him.
Sensing my uncertainty, Davis speaks up trying to change the subject.
"Hey don't worry about it. I'm sure she'll come. By the way did you know Mimi is coming from America today just so she can watch the game tomorrow?"
"Really?" I ask in surprise.
Sure, Mimi always supported every Digidestined in what they do but, it was still surprising that she was coming all the way here just for this one game. I couldn't help but have my mood lifted though. She was going through all this trouble just to come and watch me. Or rather us I correct myself. Nah it sounds better when I tell myself that she's coming for me.
"Yeah! I could hardly believe it too" I hear Davis yap excitedly.
"Do you know what time she's getting here?"
"I think she landed 45 minutes ago. Yolei left Physics early to go pick her up."
"Awesome! Thanks Davis!" I say with a genuine smile.
I start walking away and pull out my cell phone. A simple text would be a good way to start things off I decide.
"Hey! Tai where are you going?" Davis yells.
I decide to just ignore him and keep walking. I quickly punch out a message to Mimi and hit send. It read:
Hey Meems. I hear you wanted to see some sexy soccer player named Tai Kamiya. Luckily for you, I happen to know him.
I return my phone to my pocket but keep my hand around it. For some reason, I feel anxious. I really want her to reply soon. In typical Mimi fashion the reply I was waiting for came almost immediately. I pull out my phone and check the message. It read:
Well, I did come back to watch a sexy soccer player. But his name is Davis Motomiya. ;) But yeah I guess you can introduce me to your friend too. When's he free?
Smiling, I decide to call Yolei. Then, I see Ken standing by his locker getting a book.
"Oi, Ken! Can I borrow your phone for a second?" I ask from across the hallway.
"Sure, is everything all right?" He asks with concern.
"Yeah, I just need to make a quick call."
"Oh ok. Here you go." He says politely as he hands me his phone.
I quickly find Yolei's number and hit call.
"KEEEN! How are you?" She nearly screams into the phone.
"Oh sorry to disappoint but this is Tai."
"Oh, what the hell do you want? And why are you using Ken's phone?"
"Well, I figured you'd pick up for him right away. And I'm calling because Mr. Fujiyama thinks you're skipping class. So you have to get back to school right away!" I lie easily.
"WHAT? No way. My parents called in and excused me so I could pick up Mimi." She says with conviction.
"Well then, there's some sort of mix-up. All I know is that you need to hurry back and sort things out."
"Fine I'm coming, but what should I do with Mimi?"
"Uh where are you two? I'll come pick her up."
"We're at that café by the Ferris Wheel. You know that one that Sora and Matt always go to?"
"Uh yeah, I know that one." I say trying to cover my irritation at her description. It was almost as if she was trying to poke with a sharp needle. "I'll be there in 10 minutes ok?"
"All right." She replies before hanging up.
"Thanks Ken!" I say hurriedly while handing him his phone. Then, I ran as fast as I could to my car. On my way there, I saw Yolei speeding back to school. I felt a small pang of guilt but then I remembered the café description.
I park hurriedly and look through the glass window, I see one of the prettiest girls I've ever had the pleasure of laying my eyes on. Through that glass sat the bored but gorgeous Mimi Tachikawa.
