"It's only the third week of summer and two of my friends have already "fallen in love" with the same girl. I guess I shouldn't say the entire team. Love is so overrated and boring. Everything is so boring here. Every day someone asks her out adn every time she turns them all down. This is so lame. When will things get interesting."Tachi thought as he stared at the clouds.
"Taichi! watch out!" his redheaded team mate lashed out. Taichi awoke from his thought when BAM! Soccer ball stright to the face. Taichi flew head first on to the grass.
"Sorry Taichi!...But you should be paying attention not day dreaming!" Yuko said as he ran up to Taichi. " You got a nasty nose bleed dude." He continued.
"I wasn't day dreaming you dick! Someone bring me a towel!" Taichi yelled as he got up. Yuko and Taichi walked off the field on to the bench. Kei joined them as he brought the first aid kit.
"OOh I seee." Kei said with a hissing voice. Yuko opened the kit and handed Taichi some towls ans bandages.
"What is it you snake." Taichi said to Kei while tilting his head back.
"Uhhh. Taichi you know that only makes it worst." Yuko said while pushing Taichi's head back up.
"I know now." Taichi grunted.
"Care to tell us why you were so deep in thought?...Hhhmmmmm?" Kei said looking Taichi straight in the eyes.
"Where are you getting at you snake." Taichi replied hesitating. "Oh great now what does this fool think? I swear I'll kill this guy. Man this hurts! he thought.
" Why were you day dreaming? Or should I say of who were you day dreaming of? It couldn't be the very slender ballerina we all know of. With her cherry pink hair, light skin, long legs and obviously a B cup. But its alright I don't mind even though a C cup would be much better." Kei ranted on about her womenly features while Yuko kept handing Taichi a towels.
" Kei you're a fucking idiot! Whats wrong with you?!" Taichi yelled as he stood up.
Kei turned away holding his chin with his right hand and his left arm under. As if he was a dectective. " Ok so if not that then you are clearly thinking about stealing my beloved swan pricness are you not?!" Kei yelled out as he pointed his finger at Taichi.
" Swan princess?" Taichi said as he began to sweat in the back of his head. "Why am I friends with these idiots "he thought.
"Kei stop being dumb and do something to help." Yuko said as he slapped the back of Kei's head. Taichi grew angry at his stupid friends as his nose continued to bleed.
Taichi looked up to see the ballerina leaning on the street railing over looking the field. " Wow I dont think shes ever looked over before. Have any of you losers asked her for her name yet?"
"You know what your right. Niether I or Yuko asked her. Maybe thats why she dumped us." Kei said.
"Why do you look so surprised?" Yuko said. You were the one who started this bet. And about half the team has asked her out and she has said no to everyone."
" Yeah. What an ice queen." Kei replied.
" Ice queen? She was your swan princess just a second ago." Taichi exclaimed with irratation.
" Taichi your right! I will stop at nothing to win my princess over!" Kei yelled out as he kicked the ball next to him with all his might.
" I'm leaving. You're an idiot." Taichi said as he watched him kick the ball. It was a very fast ball but no control.
The ball flew over to the street, only to directly hit the over looking ballerina. Knocked her out cold. Letting out a blood flow apond impact and just before hitting the ground. The three teammates stood dead still at what they just seen. Taichi snapped out of it and took a towel and ran up the steps to help. Leaving his two freinds behind while they turned to stone.
Taichi reached the top and walked over to the ballerina. Her back was facing him so all he could see was the backless part of her leotard and her bun.
"Hey I'm sorry are you ok? Wow your bleeding a lot. Here I brought you a towel." He said as he placed his hand on her shoulder to turn her around. The cherry haired girl turned to face him. Her chin, her leotard and even her white leggings were covered in blood.
"Wow she's cute. Even though shes covered in blood. OH GREAT! I'm turning into some type of pervert. Today sucks. Today is such a drag."He thought.
"Here." He placed it over her nose. "I'm so sorry about this. My friend over there,...you can say he was in the heat of passion. Accidents happen."
"Ouch! That hurts." The ballerina said as she took the towel and started whipping her lower chin.
"Here I'll wet your towel." Taichi spoured out water from his water bottle. " Oh shit your clothes are covered in blood. "
Taichi took his soccer jersey off and handed it to the ballerina. So she wouldn't walk home in blood. The ballerina looked up as he was taking his shirt off. She blushed at the sight of his chocolate colored skin. The sight of his bare chest made her knees weak. His flat stonach and defined abs let her nose bleed even more. He's athletic lean body made her forget all about her nose bleed. Taichi placed his hands on her smal waist and helped her up.
"OH MY GOD! HE TOOK HIS SHIRT OFF! That was his master plan?! Why didn't I think of that. Now my princess is gone forever...No I can't let Taichi steal her. She can't be with that pervert!" Kei exclaimed as her tried to run up to them. But Yuko made sure he wouldn't get far. Tripping him of course. "Yuko? Why?" Kei said with crying puppy dog eyes.
"You seem to forget that you're the one who caused this. So I think she's better off not knowing you were the one who knocked her out." Yuko said. " But I must say it is interesting that Taichi would use his body in such a lustful way. Ha I didnt think he had it in him." Yuko said while teasing Kei. "Theres no doubt about it. She's as good as his.
"No, take that back! My princess!" Kei said while clenching ontoYuko's jersey from the ground.
"Shit Kei pull yourself together!...Oh look they are leaving."
"Whhaa? Nooooo!" Kei wheeped.
"Knocked it off you idiot." Yuko said while punching the top of his head.
" Uhh...Thanks." She said. Taichi finally got a good look at her. And to what he found out he blushed of embarrassment.
" Oh my god Mimi?!" Taichi yelled while jumping back.
She looked up and finally realized who had come to her rescue.
"TAICHI?!"
"Mimi, I thought you lived in America? What are you doing here?"
"I moved back a month ago. My dad got a better deal with his old job so we moved back." Mimi said as she put Taichi's jersery over her red stained clothes.
" I didnt recognize you. You look great." She continued.
Taichi blushed. "Uhhh I'm sorry about your nose...Come on I'll walk you home." He smiled.
Taichi walked her home. They talked about everything and everyone. How Mimi is taking cooking and ballet classes in the summer. How Taichi started his soccer team and are practicing for their up coming games. Their friends and just about eveything in their life so far. He didn't tell her about Sora and Matt, even though she knew. She knew that his heart was broken and that he was still getting over it.
" I had no idea you were playing here. All your friends seem kind of...well no offense stupid. And each day one of them would ask me out. And none of them even borthered to ask for my name!"
"Hahaha well I won't tell you no on that. Especially when they see a cute girl they go nuts. They forget about common sense." Taichi laughed as he walked along side Mimi.
"I'm cute you say?...Hmmm Why Taichi I now know how you can repay me for this terrible accident. You are taking me out tomorrow night after my ballet class." She smiled.
"What what? Repay you? But I helped you after. I didn't hurt..." Taichi was cut off.
"Are you sure about that? Your their team captin." Mimi said as she stood right infront of him, narrowing in on his eyes.
"Its your soccer ball and your team mate who hurt me." Mimi said as she turned holding her hands in front of her chest.
" All that blood loss has made me so dizzy. I could very well have brain injuries. You wouldn't want that to happen...would you?" Mimi said while pretending to lose her balance.
"Uhh No Mimi. Your right. I'm sorry." Taichi said as he placed his hands on her shoulders. She blushed.
"Wow. I don't remember Taichi being this cute. I've never thought of it at all. But its better than having that creep who called me his swan princess take me out..."Mimi thought.
"It's settled! Tomorrow we are going out on the town. And I am like no other girl. I have great taste." Mimi said as she broke away from Taichi's hands.
"Great taste? You mean expensive taste" He said as he sighed and thought about his wallet. She repeated as she walked ahead of him.
"Great taste."
"Oh great what did I get myself into. I'll probably be broke by the end of the day. Why didn't I let Kei help her. "Taichi sighed in thought
