Karilovya101- Hello! I have been incredibly busy for the last couple of weeks. I'm sorry for not posting till now, but to clear something up I'm a musician. Therefore, I usually am doing music in my spare time not so much creative writing, however, this is a challenge for me so I want to at least finish this story. Anyway, I apologize for making you all wait till now.

Now, I have only received one review and that honestly saddens me since there was quite a lot of a view for my story. Maybe some of you will have something for me after this chapter. Reviews really do help me make the story even better so if you're willing please do so. I would appreciate more people participating in reviewing it's a great help even to a novice like me.

Now, this chapter is going to center mainly on Mimi and Koushiro due to that not really happening in the first chapter, but also because this is how I want it in the first place. The first chapter is more of an introduction to the story more than anything.

NOTE: I do not own the Digimon Franchise, however, I do in fact own this story and any out of characters I create. Thank you!

Tokyo Airport

Noon

The day was a gorgeous day and the weather was fairly mild. The sun was bright and there was no cloud in the sky. It is the perfect the perfect weather for flying into Japan. For Mimi Tachikawa had finally arrived in Tokyo and she was terribly excited to get started. She had shipped most of her belonging's to the building she was staying in and they had put it in storage for her until she got there. The only problem was getting to the apartment complex. She knew that one of her friends was going to pick her up, but the question was which one?

A couple days before today, Koushiro got a call from Sora.

"Hey, it seems I can't take Mimi to her apartment when she gets here tomorrow. Are you free to?" Koushiro had sighed and looked at the calendar. He at least out down the day she was coming in since they where planning to have a big get together. He saw that he was free since he wanted to do some work at home that day. He had this privilege due to having experience.

"Yeah. Sure."

"Oh my god! Thank you Koushiro! You saved me!" Sora cried in the phone and Koushiro just sighed.

"Hey plane lands at 11:30 in the morning, not night. Remember that!"

"Okay, I got it." After that, they said their goodbyes and Koushiro went back to what he was doing on his computer. He decided he wanted to try to create new software the only question was of what. What would be cool to do and interesting at the same time. Something that can keep him busy for a while since he was drained from all the business parties he had to attend to. He hated going even though he found them enjoyable they where just incredibly exhausting. There was one this night too, but he decided to stay in and work on his computer maybe do some extra work. He smiled to himself happy with how things where going. It helped that the day was just as beautiful and even though he doesn't do so often he decided to work on his laptop outside on his deck.

Once it reached close to midnight that night he thought it would be a good idea to go to bed. After all, tomorrow was going to be a long day because he is positive that Mimi is going to want to hang out longer than him just dropping her off at her apartment. These things tend to happen, Koushiro is usually the one that drives Mimi around since every time she visits he tends to be the one asked to pick her up. This meant that Mimi was going to want to go shopping and that meant he needed to conserve energy. If she doesn't, that would be great since he knows he's going to be tired tomorrow.

Of course, he really did love hanging out with her since she was quite fun, but there are times when he just wants to sit in his room and be on his laptop doing who knows what. Mimi of course is the type to want to keep a conversation going, but there are times when they've been together and he was on his laptop and she just watched TV or took a nap. The last time that happened though was about two years ago when Mimi came to Japan for a wedding and she decided to go his place to get away from family for a bit. She had said that it was because he was the closest to where she originally was and that meant he was the one to go to since she didn't want to go all the way to Sora's. Koushiro has always known that they are good friends and that is satisfying to him.

The next day, Koushiro wakes up fairly early and get dressed. He is wearing what he normally wears to work, which usually consisted of a nice button down white shirt with black pants. He rolled up the sleeves since it was going to be fairly hot during the day. He didn't mind wearing the black pants since they where fairly light and he'd rather wear pants over shorts. Ever since college he started to dress more and more like a businessman. He stopped wearing T-shirts and sweatshirt and rarely ever wore shorts. He did wear jeans once in a while, but that's usually to really casual events. Today, he could have done just that, but he felt that he wanted to have a clean-cut image that day. Of course, he didn't really think much of this being because Mimi was coming into Tokyo. He just thought that maybe his slight attraction to her would slowly dissipate especially since he really didn't want to have a repeat from when he was 15.

Not that anything happened when he was 15, but he is embarrassed that he never did anything about his crush on Mimi. When looking back on the times he was so interested in fashion and impressing her, it brought a nostalgic smile on his face. He never did get the chance to tell Mimi when she returned to the U.S. after they graduated high school. She had decided to go back to the U.S. for college because she wanted to start her fashion career in New York City. Thinking on this now, made Koushiro realize that he was thinking about fashion this morning and he hoped it was just because of nostalgia more than actual feelings arising yet again. He shook his head and looked at the clock. He had an hour to get to the airport. He left early and went to the car garage to get his car. He was thinking about using public transportation, but he is sure she will need to have a car so that she could put her suitcases in the trunk.

He arrived at the airport about thirty minutes ahead of schedule. He figured that he would just wait by the luggage claim and grab a drink from a vending machine. He went to sit down and just went on his laptop. He did bring his laptop since he's early and he figured he could get some work done.

At the gate, Mimi got off the plane right one schedule. She had a huge smile on her face as she walked gracefully to luggage claim. She at least wanted to find who ever was picking her up and she had an idea they would wait for her there. All she knew was that Sora couldn't pick her up and that she asked someone else to. Mimi was curious as to who it could be. She thought it could be Kari, Koushiro, or maybe even Miyako. Otherwise, she didn't really know, but that didn't stop her from having a big smile. She didn't care who picked her up as long as it was a friend she didn't mind.

The plane ride on the way to Tokyo was fairly peaceful. She sat next to this nice old lady who told her stories of her life. She found it interesting and she loved talking to other people and hearing their stories. This lady put Mimi in a better mood for the plane ride. It's such a long flight and she did have layover in L.A., which took forever. She was definitely tired, but excited to be back in Japan hopefully for good this time.

She reached the luggage claim and realized that who ever is picking her up is not waiting for her right where she would be coming out. This bothered her a little until she saw Koushiro sitting by a luggage claim on his laptop. She chuckled to herself and went up to him.

"You know, you really are obsessed with technology aren't you?" Mimi said teasingly to Koushiro.

"Whoa! Mimi! Did you just get here?" Koushiro didn't see her come up to him so when he heard someone talking to him he jumped.

"Why yes!" Mimi smiled at him then said, "We should get my luggage now. Sorry, but I have quite a lot."

"Yaaay." Koushiro drawled as he rolled his eyes. Mimi chose to ignore his apparent 'enthusiasm' and went to grab her belongings.

"Be a dear Koushiro, and help me pick these up. My bags are quite heavy." Koushiro shook his head and just went a grabbed her three bags as they came. Mimi didn't even have to help he just grabbed them for her on his own before she ever got the chance. He put the on a luggage cart and Mimi just stood there watching him do the dirty work.

"There you go, now lets get to the car." Mimi nodded. They headed to the car in a comfortable silence as Koushiro was concentrating on making sure he didn't crash the luggage cart or have anything fall off of it. Mimi followed behind him smiling that he was being such a gentleman. He always was like this, but when you get the treatment first hand from him it felt incredible. He was definitely the husband type and that made her think about how surprised she is that he isn't with anyone yet.

Koushiro is very successful and smart. He also happens to have a great personality. Although, he was a nerd, lots of women like that and that made Mimi wonder why there wasn't a girl or at least someone from work or even college. She knew he never really dated, yeah, a couple of dates. However, that was about it. He never committed to anyone and he was always so career-focused instead of focusing on dating and women.

Mimi felt a bit envious that he could be that way since she definitely dated a few men in her college life and there was always a man trying to get her attention. Mimi never felt that she needed a boyfriend, she just happened to always have one. She liked the attention and it was fun, but she never had a relationship that actually made her want to really stay with them. All the men she dated in New York where all similar especially in that they where sportsmen and they definitely where nothing like Koushiro or even Taichi. Now, she did date a couple musicians, but to her they where a bit too dramatic at times. She also didn't want to date a maybe and that seemed to happen a lot with all the men she had dated.

"Do you want to get lunch?" Koushiro asked.

"That sounds lovely! I'm famished! Of course tired too, but food sounds amazing!"

"Awesome, I know a café close to where you're going." Mimi had given him her address once they got in the car. Koushiro nodded knowing exactly where he was going and Mimi didn't think much of it.

"Really? Awesome! You definitely know the area then, don't you?" Mimi smiled up to him.

"Well, yeah. I actually live in the same building as you by the way."

"What?! Really? Huh, well I guess I'll be seeing you a lot!"

"Uh, maybe, I tend to work a lot."

"Oh, well, I can understand. What floor are you on?"

"Penthouse, the second penthouse on floor 45."

"My god, I forget sometimes that you come from a rich family." Mimi laughed as she looked at Koushiro in admiration for living in such a nice apartment. She really wanted to see his place, but decided to ask to later. She did after all need to get settled in her own apartment.

"Yeah, well, yeah. I guess so." Koushiro said, he saw he look at him with sparkling eyes and didn't know what to make of it. He chose to focus and get to the café because he was hungry as well.

"Here we are." He pulled up to a small café on the corner and Mimi brightened up instantly.

"Adorable!" Mimi walked inside quickly while yelling, "You're okay if we eat outside right?! It's just too cute!" Koushiror just nodded and she squealed with joy. She asked to be seated outside and they finally where seated.

They both had a quiet lunch together after all Mimi was tired and Koushiro isn't exactly the most talkative out of all of them. Mimi felt that she just wanted to have a relaxing lunch and have some peace and quiet. She thought that it was lucky she was with Koushiro because at least he was good about noticing those kinds of things. Also, she knew that he was slowly becoming more and more exhausted.

The two of them are rather close and they've been getting closed since they where 16. One thing Mimi always remembers about that time besides the battles they fought was what Sora had said. She remembers when Sora used to tease her about Koushiro and his little crush on her. Mimi of course knew about it. It wasn't like it was that well of a hidden secret. At that time Koushiro was not very good at hiding his feelings, but at the same time he was. Mimi has noticed he has grown even more mature not just physically but emotionally as well. He has become so much more attuned to others as they've grown up.

They finished their lunch and they headed to the apartment complex. Once they got there, Koushiro parked his car in the garage and popped his trunk to get her things. Mimi went to help him, but by the time she got out of the car he had everything out. Blame her for being clumsy getting out, she had some difficulty with the seatbelt for some reason.

"Thank you Koushiro!" Mimi said. Koushiro just nodded and smiled.

"Come on, let's get you squared away. You're probably going to like this place. At least, it's definitely a place you would like." Koushiro said.

"Eh? Really? Good, I'd rather it be that way anyways. Thank you so much by they way for helping me get everything to my apartment. "

They went to the front office to get Mimi's keys to her apartment. Once she finished they last of the paperwork she met Koushiro outside and headed to her apartment. They security guard nodded to them and said a small hello to Koushiro. They finally reached her room. Mimi opened the door to reveal the empty apartment, it became obvious to Koushiro that Mimi was going to need a lot of necessities.

"Alright! Koushiro you can just leave my baggage in the living room. My goodness, I really have so much to do to liven up this apartment."

"That's for sure. When are you getting you things? By mail?"

"Actually, I just sent my things in the mail in the US the other day, but its mostly just miscellaneous stuff. I sold my furniture back in NYC. I didn't know if they would fit. I mean I probably could've guessed, but I figured I could just buy what I need when I get here!"

"Makes sense. When are you going to do so?"

"Hmm… I was thinking maybe tomorrow. Hey! Here's an idea! Want to go with me? I could really use your help, after all, you probably know where to get what I need."

"Uh, I probably do. Well, I guess I could." Koushiro said this hesitantly. He knew that tomorrow would be a long day if he went with her. After all, she loved to go shopping and just because its furniture does not mean she will be quick. She's probably going to pick things that fit her style as best as she can and that means she's going to be pretty picky. Koushiro didn't really mind this, but that means he has to go to bed early tonight or else he'll have no energy for tomorrow. That means he won't have a lot of time to work on his laptop.

"Thank you, Koushiro! Let's meet up downstairs, lets say, nine thirty!"

"Alright."

They said their goodbyes to each other. Mimi decided to unpack before she left to get dinner with Sora. Even though, Sora couldn't pick her up, she did promise to make up for it by getting Mimi dinner. Mimi smiled, she actually had a pretty good day, and while it definitely was a long day it was also very calm. Maybe that's because she was with Koushiro all day. She smiled at this thought and was grateful that he was the one to pick her up. He really made her day and she feels incredibly grateful that he is her friend.

Karilovya- There we go! I hope you liked that chapter. I know it's not really much of a romance just yet, but I figure they probably would take forever to develop feelings like that, especially for Mimi. Anyway , I hope you liked that and please review! It would seriously help motivate me to write more.
