Chapter 3: Chapter 3

Sorry I took too long to update, waiting for a volunteer beta but no answer... :( but hey, chapter 3 is here. Don't want to keep my faithful readers waiting too long so I just posted the unbeta-ed version. Let me know if anyone wants to beta my story.

And I apologize first hand because it's short.

Chapter 3

Her head was throbbing at her temples and everything felt heavy, like her entire body had just been whammed by an enormous rock. There was an overwhelming musky scent of perfume filling her nose and lungs, and that made her unusually queasy.

Mimi was very sure that today was either Saturday or Sunday, since Sora didn't come to her room to wake her up like she usually does on the weekdays. Plus the massive hangover was prove enough. No drinking on weekdays, that's what Sora always said.

Her mouth stretched wide open for a long yawn as she decided to go back to her slumber. It was when she tried to stretch and turn herself; so she would lay on her back, that she felt a broad solid human body underneath her own. Her chest pressed against it, her head was nuzzled somewhere around the neck, she could hear soft snoring and slow breathing, two heavy arms drapped around her figure and she swore there was something bulging hard against her abdomen.

Kiriha? Did he spent the night? He hasn't been on top of that lately. The last time was two months ago.

But it was weird, this whole thing was.

For starters, the fragrance. Defenitely not hers, because it was unquestionably a very manly perfume, and Kiriha was never a fan of perfumes or cologne. Then there was the position they were in. Kiriha always held her side ways, as in with only an arm wrapping around her waist, putting a distance between their body so not to get too close and they were never this intimate. He mentioned he never liked an entire body contact with another being for an entire night, because it would make him feel like sleeping with the sun, these words came from his mouth.

What's even far-out of the ordinary was that she was clothed in a huge fluffy dress to bed. The thing was she always makes sure to changed to her silky dress-robe no matter how drunk she gets upon her return home, if she had been too drunk to do it herself, Sora would do it for her.

And then there was the soft classical music playing by her bed. She couldn't remember ever-

Wait just a second.

She saw Kiriha with another woman last night. There was no way she would forgive him so easily, unless- Unless the man she's in bed with was another man!

Mimi's snapped her eyes wide open as she lifted her head from the said man's warm chest and boy was she right.

It was Ishida Yamato. Wearing an unbuttoned white dress shirt. Yes, unbuttoned! Not just one or two, but the entire row of buttons were undone.

She was with him last night when he took her to the bar and-

Still craddling the sleeping man beneath her, Mimi screamed hysterically, rudely waking Yamato from his deep slumber.

"W-Wha?" Yamato's eyes flickered open lazily as one of his hands unconciously searching for a none existent alarm clock beside his head. Oblivious to the fact that the sound came from the woman sitting on him, who's eyes were brimming with tears. "You! You took advantage of me!" Mimi yelled on his face before hiting him with pillows. "I am tainted! Tainted!"

"What the hell?! Who are-" the rock star retorted in shock, defending himself with his arms while trying to get a picture of what happened last night and a number of pillow beatings, he finally caught a glance of the woman who had been going on and on unreasonably smacking him. "Mimi?"

"Of course I am Mimi! Who else can I be? One of your whores?"

"What are you talking about?!" Yamato snapped and soon managed to grappled on both pillows, throwing them to the other side of the bed.

"You drugged me and did things against my will!" she accused, pointing a finger at the suspect she currently sat on. "I'll report you to the media and-"

"For God sakes, I didn't drug you! Why would I even-" he retaliated, he still wasn't sure about the other thing, so he kept quiet about it. But he was a hundred percent positive he did not drug her! Never in his life has he ever did anything illegal like drugs or worse, drugging others. To get into a girl's pants he never need drugging, his looks and status were more than enough to do the work.

"Because I am now in your room, on top of you and you are-" Mimi glared up and down at his open shirt, secretly enjoying the view behind the slightly unbuttoned shirt, "...not properly dressed. How else would you want me to think?!"

He looked at himself. He wasn't wearing formal the last time he remember, where's his favorite leather jacket? His cerulean blue eyes scanned around 'his room' to find not only was he cannot understand a word Mimi said, he also had absolutely no idea what went down last night or what had happen and how that they were now ended up in this room which was obviously not his! The entire place was too grand. There was practically a living room on the other side of the room, there was also a small kitchenette at one side, bathroom was not so far from the bed and the entire room was decorated with impressive classic European furnitures. The walls were covered with expensive leather based wallpaper, the ceiling was beautifully carved. There was a door that lead to the balcony. Sun light shining in, hitting the floorboard indicating daytime.

The little two-sided fancy looking cardboard laying by the bed side told him where they were. Crystal Resort? Wasn't this resort resided near the mountain? This was a place for honeymoon couples! How the hell did they ended up here?

"Hey! Look at me when I'm talking."

"Excuse me because I don't know what's going on either princess!" he finally said as his brain was still trying to process the whole thing.

"You don't remember either?" Mimi's straightened up. It was then Yamato took notice of her disshelved hair with what looked like a white veil hanging by a few strains of her hair, which made her appeared even more attractive than she did last night when he first laid eyes on her. His eyes then lingered down to her apparel; a white fluffy yet sexy looking dress, and with the veil she looked like a pretty bride in a wedding dress.

A wedding dress?

She's in a wedding dress and he's in a dress shirt and his suit was hanging by the side of the bed on the verge of falling on the carpeted floor.

And the fact that they were in a honeymoon resort could only meant...

Yamato put the puzzle together, his face suddenly paled by his own assumption. He pulled up Mimi's hand and his own to make sure.

To his horror he was right.

xxxx

Sora couldn't believe what was happening to her.

She woke up on a hospital bed. Surprised by the huge gash from across her collarbone to her upper left arm, the side of her forehead experienced minor injury, at least it was not lethal, there were some bruises and blemishes on the other parts of her body and there was also a cut on her lip.

Everything cut open was bandaged, though it still hurts quite a bit too much, especially around her shoulder blades. Then there was her own designed wedding dress hung bloodied in the closet. And worst of all, this ring on her finger and that she had a husband!

A freaking husband!

And they were married yesterday aparently. One of the prove was the parchment she was holding onto, titled Certificate of Marriage. It was no shenanigans. The damn thing was the real deal. There was the seal, the stamp, her own signature, finger print. To top it all, her husband was Yagami Taichi! And he too completed the form. There was no mistake that it was his signature, she did took a peek on the one she had in her sketch book.

Second prove was her new Identity Card. There written her status as married with the name of her husband down the bottom.

Of course being married to Yagami Taichi was like a dream came true, that is if she was ever to get married, which was not on top on her list right now. Her antipathy towards man disallowed that. In the back of her mind, she didn't deny to ever wished for that, but now she regreted it. She should have heed on Mimi's "Be careful of what you wished for" advice.

Maybe, this was all really just a dream or maybe she met a djini or a witch last night, who granted her this wish and her payment was her blood, that's why she ended up in the hospital right? She did suffer from massive loss of blood, so she heard from the nurse. In books she read, it was like that wasn't it? You have your wish granted, but there's always a price to pay. If not with your soul then blood. It has to be that right? If not how the hell did everything happened overnight!

Unless she was on drugs. Was she?

A hand shook her shoulder gently and snapped her out of her train of thoughts. "Maam, are you alright?"

"Hm?" she looked up to find the nurse who had tended her since she woke, the same who broke her with the news of her marital status. "I-I'm fine."

"You should be in your bed right now, Your wound might re-open if you move around too much. Here, let me help you to your bed." the nurse insisted offering her assistence.

"No. I'm fine." Sora shook her head, gently shoving the nurses's helping hand. "Can you tell me how's my wedding dress got there?" she meant to say her own designed wedding dress, but she decided she should just let it slide.

"That? I'm surprised you don't remember." the nurse said. "You wore that dress when your husband carried you here today. Didn't want to be apart from it you did and pardon me, we nurses had difficult time getting you out of it despite your injury. But thank God for your husband, though he was so panicked, he calmed you down himself managed to get you out of the dress then begged the doctor to save you and he was looking like he almost cried the entire time. He was the one who donored his blood to you." she paused momentarily and sighed breathlessly, which earned her a bewildered look from Sora. "How could anyone has such a great man for a husband. You are such a lucky girl."

"Then where is he? Is he still here?"

"He was. Though he looked drunk and tired, poor man waited for you trying so hard to stay awake and before he was assured of your safety, the police showed up and arrested him."

" Arrested?!"

There was a knock on the door before the nurse could answer. Another much younger nurse about Sora's age emerged from the door, followed by two young policemen.

"Mrs. Yagami, the police are here, they wishes to speak to you about your husband." the younger nurse informed.

The mention of her new title, surname and police altogether almost choked her to death. Not to mention everything was still too overwhelmed for her to process, with all the reaccuring mysteries and misfortunes she had involved herself in since yesterday, Sora gulped and tried to convince herself that this was not to be another episode of disaster. But then she noted to herself that her husband was already arrested and involved with the cops, how worst could it get?

Taichi'd probably murdered someone for all she knew! She was injured rather excessively, and should she put it brutally? She was his wife, so she's more likely already involved in it, like it or not, she would probably be convicted for helping him! Who knows? Up to this point, since everything in her life seemed to worsen, everything's possible. After all, she could'nt remember a thing from last night.

"C-Can I help you officers?" Sora managed to faltered, her hands were shaking anxiously.

"Wow! So this is the wife of the great Yagami Taichi." one of the two police muttered a little too loud. "I thought-"

"Ehem!" the shorter one cleared his throat, "Sorry to intrude upon you like this Mrs. Yagami. We just wanted to make sure if you are doing alright." he asked sincerely, his green eyes were warm and concerning, and there was no sign of hostility. Sora took a slight relief on that part. "And to ask about your husband." she tensed a little at the mention of her significant others. No escaping the topic it seemed.

"I'm fine. Thank you." she replied less cautious and more relaxed. "What about my... husband?"

She felt weird saying that.

"Don't worry, we held him back for just half a day, he'll be out in about an hour." the other cop said as if he could see through Sora's troubling mind.

"Do you mind if I ask why he was arrested?" the question just had to be asked. She needed to know what was happening.

"I assume you don't remember?" the shorter cop raised a brow as he questioned her.

"Everything was blurry to me. I was injured and lost quite alot amount of blood...ha-ha" she was quick to came up with her excuse, but at the same time her nervous vibe couldn't be more obvious.

"Well you were attacked by a small group of yakuza last night. They pulled you away from your husband, took you as a hostage."

"Yakuza?!"

"Almost raped you." the taller cop added rather softly.

"Takeshi!" the shorter cop elbowed the taller one,"The victim does not need to hear that." he added before looking back at Sora apologetically."Well to summarized it, your husband came to your rescue, took out three of them by himself."

"He's awesome isn't he?" the cop named Takeshi added, smiling like a fanboy. The other cop glared at him before he continued "But Mr Yagami went out of control on that poor bloke who gashed you, broke an arm and a few ribs. Well, personally I think that scum deserves it."

So, Taichi saved her life then, twice! He donored his blood and from those gangsters. And thank God she was actually the victim! The thought made her smile and she mentally noted to herself to thank her 'husband' later.

But what the hell really happened to them last night? How could she not remember anything from that horrendous event? It was weird. She tried so hard to think back, but all she remembered was Trump House, catching up with Taichi, having fun, drinking and Mimi was-

"Mimi!" she has to stop forgetting about Mimi or she'll lose her one of these days. "Did you see another girl, about my age, pretty, with long brown hair!" she grabbed the taller cop by his collar without thinking.

"No, not that I remember."

"Are you sure?!"

"Yeah, there was no other girl. According to the eye witness, there was only you and Mr Yagami before you were kidnapped." Takeshi answered almost too nervously.

"Will you...let go of me now? Violance against a police officer is illegal you know."

"U-oh, sorry."

"You could talk to your husband about this friend of yours. You were with him the entire time." the shorter cop suggested, "He's still asleep in his cage though."

"Take me there right now!" Sora demanded.

"But you are still-"

"I don't care! My husband is in prison, my best friend disappeared God knows where, and I'm not just going to nap idly on my bed and do nothing!"

Her entire body was hurting, she could barely walk with her wound, but damn it all she needed to find Mimi, whatever it takes.

So how was it? let me know what you think dear readers. Constructive criticism welcome.
