Okay, * sweatdrops * I'm sorry, but I couldn't get this fanfic off my mind. I couldn't concentrate on the ending of LL, but after this, maybe I'll be cleared up!
Disclaimer: Okay, each and EVERY one of you know this. I DON'T own digimon, etc, yadda, yadda, yadda… I'm just a person that LOVES to write!
Dedication: This one's dedicated to Kate, and all those Michi people who have to put up with Mimato's and Taiora's, and other stuff..
IMPORTANT: Ummm.. Sora lovers? * sweatdrops * This fic's makes Sora seem extremely evil. {Which she is.} Don't flame me because of this. I needed a vilain, and Sora can't be lovey, dubby, all the time. TRUST me… Sora lovers, beware…
Obsession…
"DAMN you Tachikawa!" Sora screamed as she threw the picture of herself and Mimi at a picnic, the glass shattering on the floor. How Sora HATED that woman. Her charm, her personality, her ability to have what ever she wanted. "How could you Mimi?! HOW?! After our 12 years of friendship, you go and do this to me!" Sora slammed her fists against the wall of her apartment, causing her fists to swell.
Sora walked over the smashed photo that lay on the floor.. The face that once seemed so friendly, so easy to talk to, had become the face of a traitor..
"I'll get you, Mimi.. ha.. you'll see.." Sora snickered as she threw the photo into her fireplace. She watched it burn, the sides curling up as each flame penetrated the memories she once had.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sora, I want to talk with you." Tai asked slomenly. "Sure.." Sora answered, sensing the coldness in Tai's voice.
Tai pulled Sora over to a bench in the park, having her take a seat. Sora sat down, and signaled for Tai to sit as well. After Tai sat down. Sora laid her head on one of Tai's strong, broad shoulders. Tai jumped, and started to pace in front of Sora. "Sora.." He began. He stopped, and ran his hand through his brown hair, deep in concentration. Sora felt butterflies rising in her stomach. "Sora? It's over…" Sora looked confused. "What's o..over?" She asked, afraid of the truth. "WE'RE OVER!! I've had it with you Sora! Your always with me. I never have any time for myself. With you as a girlfriend, I'm watched like a god damn freak!" Tai shouted, suddenly regretting that he was so harsh. Sora eyes, heated with tears, as she fell to both knees, crying to Tai for forgiveness. {I hope your enjoying this, kate.}
"PLEASE, TAI!!! I'm sorry!!! I won't do it anymore!! PLEASE forgive me!!" Sora screamed, hugging Tai's legs. Tai rolled his eyes in frustration. "You see?? THAT'S IT!! What happened to the mature Sora that I fell in love with?! The past few months, you've been acting like a child!" {Tai's lost his child like attitude, and become a mature man. Tee hee :)} After Sora heard this, she rose to her feet, gently brushing off her jeans. Sora gave Tai a sweet smile, hoping to coax him in to forgiving her.
"I'm Sorry, Tai. I'll stop, seriously." Sora giggled, hoping to cover up the pain she felt inside of her. Sora grabbed Tai's arm and hugged it.
"NO! Sora! Besides, I want a real woman, not some little girl!" Said Tai, shrugging Sora's head off his arm. "I'm sorry, Sora." Tai said sadly. Enraged, Sora slapped Tai across the face.
"How DARE you!? After everything I've done for you!? You ASSHOLE!!" Tai stared at Sora coldly.
"Hey, don't go that far! Sure, we had some good times, but lately, you've been like a baby! Now, I hope we can be friends, at least." Tai tried his hardest not to be harsh, but Sora was making this difficult.
"Friends!? NO, I won't accept that. You WILL NOT break up with me!" Sora snickered. Tai looked Sora in the eye. "Are you THREATENING me!? Sora, I tried to be nice, but I guess friends just won't happen. Just stay away from me, Sora." Tai turned and walked away from Sora with a look of disbelief on his face. What happened, Sora? You used to be so loving. He thought.
Sora stared at Tai. She couldn't lose him, no! If she can't have him, no one will.. Sora started walking after Tai. Tai turned, and saw Sora staring straight at him, her speed gaining on him. Tai turned, starting to walk faster. Again, Sora's pace sped up. "Holy Shit, she's coming after me!" Tai whispered to himself. Tai took off in a full sprint.
I don't think so, Kamiya.. You're mine.. Sora thought. Sora took off at a full sprint as well.
Tai turned corner after corner, looking for a place to hide. He thought, I'm running from a love sick girl?! Tai stopped, hoping to confront Sora. "Oh, my god she's gonna kill me.." Tai looked in horror as he saw Sora chasing him down with a 7in cutting knife. Images ran through Tai's mind, trying to think of a way to save himself. DON'T JUST STAND THERE, TAI! RUN! His mind screamed at him. So, Tai sped off, hoping to find help.
Tai stopped, finding himself at a major highway. He frantically waved his arms in the air, hoping to get a ride. Taking momentary glances over his shoulder, he knew time was running out.
A woman in a fashionable red mustang, drove along the highway. Her golden brown, hair, bounced to the rhythm of the road. Her light brown eyes, set directly on the path in front of her. As she looked to her right, she saw a young man, screaming for help. "What? Tai? I wonder what's wrong?" The woman asked herself. Tai moved out of the way as the mustang pulled over. The woman rolled down her window. "What's wrong, Tai?" The young man just opened the door, and was half way in when the woman saw a red haired female with a 7in knife in her hand, apparently, trying to chase after Tai. The woman in the car gasped, pulling Tai into the car with her free hand, and speeding off, the speed slamming the door shut. She looked out her rear-view mirror, gazing at the woman, cursing at her.
Tai slumped down in his seat, tired from pure exhaustion. "Thanks a million, lady! I owe you my life!" The woman looked to Tai, saying. "Was that Sora? Has she lost it or what?!" Tai looked confused at first, then realizing who it was. "MIMI?! Oh my god, THANK YOU!" He gasped, giving Mimi a hug. "I'm glad you remember me Tai, but please, I'm trying to drive here!" Mimi said. "Sorry! I don't know what happened to her! I just broke up with her, and she just… lost it!!" "Whoa, Tai.. Just tell me the story from the beginning."
Tai went on, telling Mimi what had happened that afternoon. Mimi gasped in disbelief at what she heard. "Sora? No that can't be! But, she's my best friend! She would never do that!"
Tai looked at her with a confused look. "I know! I can't believe it myself! It's like she's obsessed with me!" Mimi nodded in agreement. Tai looked out the window. "So, how are you and Matt?" Mimi giggled with delight. "We broke up!" Tai stared at her as if she were crazy.
"Aren't you ..sad?" "No! The fact is, he wanted to break up too! We knew we were never getting anywhere, so we left each other! And we're both even better friends!" Tai slumped over with sadness. "I wish me and Sora went that way."
Mimi regretted what she had just said. "Oh. I'm sorry, Tai! I didn't mean to-" "That's okay." Tai flashed her on of his famous smiles.
" Uh, Mimi? I can't go back home, so can you drop me off at a hotel?" "Nonsense, Tai! You can stay at my place! I have an extra room!" "Nah, that's okay. I don't want to envade." Mimi smiled. "No, no! It'll be my pleasure!." "Oh, alright." Tai turned his head back to the window.
"Hey, Mimi?"
"Yes?" Mimi said, drawing her attention from the road to Tai.
"Thanks."
Mimi smiled again, turning her attention back to the open road. "Anything for a friend."
~*~*~*~*~*~
"NNNNOOOO!!!!" Sora screamed. Sora threw the knife she held in her hand at a nearby tree. "I won't let you get away, Tai. Hm..hm.. I'll get you if it's the last thing I do. And your little friend, too!" Sora grinned as she walked back to the park.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Wow, Mimi! It's been a while since I've last been at your apartment!" Tai said in awe at Mimi's neatly made apartment. "Tai? See how neat my apartment is?" Mimi asked sarcastically. "Yes, Mimi. And it will stay that way." Tai answered loudly.
"Here, Tai. I'll show you your room." Tai followed Mimi down the hall to the last room on the left. "Wow, Mimi! It's perfect! Thanks!" The room was perfect for Tai. It had a large, soft bed, a side table, a large screen T.V, it's own personal bathroom, a phone, a large stereo, several lamps, a couch, and several other things. {Big room, I know.}
"Hope you like it! It was made to fit anyone's lifestyle." Mimi added. "Tai, is it okay if I call the others, you know, Matt Izzy, Joe, Kari,etc?" "Well.." Tai started off.
"TAI?! This is important! They have to know in case we need help!"Mimi stated.
Tai started to pace around the room, "I know, I Know….But I don't know what to do!? I'm afraid that Sora will hurt the others if we tell, and even worse, come after you!" Mimi placed her hand on Tai's shoulders. "Tai, don't worry about me or the others. We won't let anything happen to you." "Thanks Mimi. But tell them one at a time. Starting with Matt." Mimi walked to the door. "Then it's done. Help yourself to my fridge and anything you want to eat. There's movies in under the T.V and If you need anything, don't be afraid to ask." "Thanks, Mimi." Tai said as he sat on his bed, recollecting the day. "Your welcome, Tai."
In Mimi's kitchen:
"Wow, Mimi! You got a lot of food in here!" Tai mumbled. "Yeah, I'm taking that as a compliment." Mimi said sarcastically. She picked up the phone and dialed Matt's number..
~*~*~*~*~*~
At Matt's house:
RRRIIINNNGGG!!!! "Hey, I'm coming! I'm coming!" Matt yelped, barely able to hold on to the towel wrapped around his waist. He ran down his hallway, soaking wet from his shower. "Hello? Hey Mimi! How are ya? Oh.. Tai's with you? What happened?" Matt stood over his phone, creating a puddle of water under him. Matt gasped at the sound of what Sora had almost done to Tai. "Oh my gosh! I'll be over tonight! Yeah, I gotta go to work! Sure, okay." Matt wait patiently for Mimi to return to the phone.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Tai? TAI! Hey!! I need to ask you something!" Tai pulled his head out from Mimi's fridge. "What?" "Matt wants to know if he can come over later. You know, to talk." Tai thought for a moment, finally saying, "yeah, I guess. But tell him if he sees Sora, act normal!" Mimi nodded, as Tai stuck his head back in the fridge.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"It is? Good! I'll be there tonight. Huh? Oh, okay. Bye." Matt threw the phone back on the hook, and dashed to his bedroom.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Matt's gonna be here tonight." Said Mimi, laying down the receiver. "Uh, Mimi? What about my stuff? You know, clothes, cd's, comb, hair gel?" Tai asked with worry. "Don't worry!" Mimi winked. "I have a plan.
Later on that afternoon:
Okay, here goes everything. Tai thought. Why do I have to wear this? Tai thought. He recalled the answer given to him by Mimi.
"Well, in case Sora's watching or nearby, she'll think you're the cleaning lady!" "But what if my cleaning lady shows up at the same time?" "Don't worry, I've already taken care of that! Oh, and her supplies and stuff are out in her car." Tai stared at her with disbelief as he was pushed out the door.
Tai got out of the old Lincoln. He straightened out his skirt, {It's a DISGUISE people!} And headed up to his door. Unlocking it, he crept inside.
After he was in, Tai headed straight for his room. Gotta do this quick, Tai. He thought. Tai pulled out his drawers one by one, throwing all the contents into a plastic trash bag.
Tai scrambled throughout the apartment, taking all his belongings that he could fit into several jumbo sized trash bags. Tai ran to the back porch, where a truck was parked. Tai looked at from the window, throwing one bag after another, out the window.
"Hey.. IZZY! Watch OUT!" Joe yelled. "Huh?!" Izzy proclaimed. Joe pushed Izzy to the ground, throwing him out of the way. Joe easily caught the bag, and threw it into the truck. "Thanks." Izzy grunted, lifting himself off the ground. "You okay?" Tai called from the 3rd floor. Joe gave him a thumbs up. "We're fine." Tai nodded as he went back to work.
{Oh yeah, Joe and Izzy have been told Tai's little situation, and Mimi sent them to help Tai.}
Tai looked around his apartment. "That looks like I've gotten everything but" Tai gasped. His kitchen. I don't think that I'll need much of this stuff." Tai walked back out to the Lincoln, when he found something. "Wow.. Thanks Mimi!" Tai smiled at the sight of 3 large coolers. Tai ran back into the apartment, and emptied out the fridge. {Now we couldn't forget that now, could we?}
"Okay, guys. You can go now." Said Tai after lowering the rest of his stuff. Izzy and Joe nodded in agreement as they hopped in the truck and sped off.
Tai walked out of the apartment, locking the door. "That was too easy." He mumbled, falling into the car. Tai adjusted his review mirror, suddenly noticing a blue car parked down the street. Tai shrugged it off, starting down the road. He looked back, noticing that the driver was staring straight at him. He turned back, trying not to be obvious. Luckily, the car didn't follow.
Tai sighed in relief. He had to be really careful! Sora could be anywhere.
Tai pulled up at Mimi's. He saw Joe and Izzy unloading. Tai was about to get out of the car when, "Hey Joe! Izzy! How are things?" Tai broke into a cold sweat. Sora!? What do I do?
Izzy and Joe walked over to Sora, keeping in mind what Mimi had told them.
"Sora! Long time no see! How ya been?" Asked Izzy. "Oh, fine..fine..Um. Have you guys seen Tai anytime today? Kari wants me to give him a message." Sora asked. Looking around. "No. Haven't seen Tai since last week." Joe answered. "Same here." Replied Izzy.
"SORA! Hi!" Squealed Mimi. "Hey, Mimi!" Mimi ran to Sora and gave her a big hug. "How ya been?"
Sora snickered, "Same. Say, Mimi? Have YOU seen, Tai?"
"No. Can't say that I have."
"Mimi? Who's that woman in the car?" Sroa asked. Mimi smiled. "Oh. That's my laundry lady. I'm really busy today, and I don't have time to do the laundry. So, she got my laundry, and brought it back. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go pay her." Sora gladly stepped to the side, getting into a conversation with Izzy.
Mimi strolled over to Tai, handing him a note. "Thank you Carla." Mimi said with a wink. Mimi walked back over to the group.
Tai opened the note. It read:
Tai:
Go down this street and make a right. Pull in behind the apartment building. Tell the garage guard, that you have my word. Pull into space c-14. {That's my laundry lady's usual space.} Look above the window viser. You'll see a pair of keys that lead into my apartment. Be back in a flash,
~Mimi~
Tai folded up the note, and followed it's directions. Wow. I feel like I'm in a James Bond movie. Tai joked. "Good evening Carla. Nice to see you." Said the security guard. Tai froze. "Umm. Good morning." Tai replied in a squeaky voice. The security guard smiled, letting him in the parking garage.
Boy, that was close! Thought Tai as he pulled off his wig, letting his wild brown hair run lose. Tai parked the car, and quickly ran to the staircase, and made his way up to Mimi's apartment.
Back outside:
"Well, I must be off." Sighed Sora, running her hand through her reddish brown hair. "Well, I hope to see you soon, Sora." Said Izzy. "Bye, Sora. Thanks for stopping by." Mimi said, giving Sora a hug. "Don't worry. I'll be back." She answered, totally oblivious at the act that had been just displayed for her.
Sora drove off, vanishing from site. The three sighed in relief as they headed up to Mimi's apartment.
~*~*~*~
Mimi slowly unlocked her door, allowing Izzy and Joe in. "Tai? Are you here?" "Yes, I'll be out in a minute." Tai stepped out of his room, wearing nothing but a pear of slacks, and had a towel draped across his shoulders. Mimi flushed with heat, as she saw Tai's muscular chest. "So, what are we doing for dinner?" He asked Mimi. "Um..what-whatever…you want..it..d-doesn't m-matter." She studdered. Tai smiled, noticing Mimi's behavior. Tai ran into his room, threw on a t-shirt, and came back out.
"Well, I gotta go. I've got to get back to work." Joe said. "Um, yeah. Me too. See you all later!" Said Izzy as he and Joe walked out the door.
Mimi?! What's wrong with you! Tai's just your friend. Mimi told herself as Tai emerged from his room.
"So, Tai. What do you feel like eating?" Tai looked at the wall for a minute. "Well, maybe we can have something a little formal. You know, since I'm starving!." Mimi smiled. "Sure. Let's make an evening out of it." She said excitedly. "Well, got to get ready!" Mimi dashed off in her room, obviously excited about the evening.
Tai smiled. Boy, she's so cute when she gets worked up. What am I saying?! We're just friends. Tai mumbled to himself as he disappeared back into his room.
"Hey, wait a minute, Mimi?!" Tai knocked on Mimi's door, slowly turning the handle. "Hey Mimi? What time is M-
"AHHHH!!! TAI?! DO YOU MIND?!" Mimi screamed. Tai stopped and gaped at Mimi, who was wearing nothing but a towel, wrapped around her slim body. Tai's face flushed feriously. "Tai? What do you want?" Mimi asked patiently, trying to control her temper.
"Um..I –I..I was w-wondering what time..(gulp) Matt was coming over…" He managed to say.
"He's coming over at 9:00. We should be done eating by then." Mimi answered, slipping on a silk pink robe.
"Now. I have to get ready. I think you should too, because of that head of hair you love so much!" Mimi giggled. Tai blushed even more. Mimi pushed Tai away from the door, and closed it, locking it with a click.
Tai stood in the hallway. Wow. He thought. If I did that to Sora, she'd scream at me and shove me to the ground. Tai shook that memory from his head. Tai, forget about her. She doesn't matter.
Tai walked into his room and shut the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~
1 hour later,
Mimi looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled in satisfaction. "Well, this looks nice." Mimi was wearing a white, sleeveless dress that ended right above her chest area. She wore long white gloves that went up past her elbows. The dress ended below her knees, giving her a classy look. She wore tan highs heels, that strapped around her ankles. Mimi checked her hair. Her hair was up in a french twist, with two stands hanging out, curled to caress her face freely. Mimi stood up and headed for the door, taking one final glance to see if everything was perfect.
In Tai's room:
Tai checked himself over in his large mirror. He smiled, amazed at how different he looked. Tai was wearing a black tux that on him, looked very classy. Tai's hair was combed back, held in place with styling gel. Tai pinned a lily on his coat, to add a little color. Tai adjusted his tie and headed out the door.
Mimi and Tai opened their doors at the same time.
"Whoa. Mimi! You look fenominal!" Tai stated, his jaw slamming into the floor. Whoa, she's a babe! Okay, Tai. Calm yourself.
"Tai! Wow! Your look great!!" Mimi said, exasperated. WOW! He looks so sexy! Okay, Mimi, calm down. She told herself.
"Shall we?" Tai suggested, taking hold of Mimi's arm. She smiled with delight. "Let's." She remarked.
Tai and Mimi went arm in arm to the car.
"So, Mimi.. who's your new friend…" Sora asked herself, as she spied on them between some nearby bushes.
~*~*~*~*~*~
