Chapter number 4 is here :D. Thanks for all reviewers. I appreciate it a lot, really. It keeps me writing this.

I'm pretty surprised. After all, I was afraid that I can't make this even 10 chapters long and look, here is the 4th chapter and nothing has really happened yet :DD.

Please don't ask, because all I know is that this will be at least 10 chapters long, but I'm not sure how many chapters there actually will be. I do have pretty much the whole plot in my mind, but it still has some holes I need to fill.

And for you Koumi fans, there will be Koumi in the 5th or 6th chapter. So you guys just be patient :).

Make Me Smile

Chapter 4: Stabber in the night

"Yama! Wait for me!" young blonde boy, somewhere around 7 or 8 years old, was running after him in a field full of daisies. The boy had a huge smile on his face, he was laughing. His beautiful sapphire blue eyes were sparkling of exuberance.

He stopped so the younger boy could run into his arms. They were both laughing happily and they lay down on the ground, exhausted from all the running.

They lay pretty close and turned their heads so they could face each other. He could see his own reflection from the boy's crystal clear eyes.

"Yamato?"

"Mm?"

"Will you always be with me?"

He smiled. He turned his face so he could look at the clouds passing by in the sky.

"Yep, I will if you're going to be with me too."

"Promise?"

He faced the young boy again and smiled gently.

"I promise."

They made sealed it with their pinkies and smiled.

"I bet I'll get home before you do." the young boy challenged him as he stood up.

"We'll see about that Takeru." he grinned and they started to run again.

Yamato was slowly starting to wake up. He stirred his eyes and yawned. He looked over to his brother bed and noticed that he was gone. After a little while he finally decided to get out of his warm bed and opened a small box beside it. On top of all the stuff there were was a shabby photo of a family sitting on a bench in a park. A tall, brown haired man had his arm around a woman's shoulders and beside them were two young boys who both had their mother's blonde hair and blue eyes. Older one of the boys had the younger on his lap. Older one was ruffling the younger ones hair and they were both laughing. Their parents were both smiling gently too.

Yamato smiled and put the picture back to his box again.

-~o~o~o~-

"Good morning Yamato." two guys greeted him as he came out of the room.

"Good morning. Where's Hika?"

"In the shower, so it's going to take a while before you're going to see her. There's some cereal if you want to have any breakfast. Or then you can improvise something else." Taichi informed.

"Okay." he went to get his cereal and came to the living room to watch TV with the others.

"You know Takeru, you shouldn't have left Hikari alone. When did you even come back?"

"Somewhere around 1:00 PM. And I think that she's capable of taking care of herself too. If not, I'm not here to babysit anyone."

Takeru had his nose in one book again and Yamato and Taichi exchanged knowing glances at each other.

"If you want to live in this apartment, you have to promise me to protect her." Taichi stated and stared at the younger blonde.

"Why?" Takeru growled.

"Because I want her to be safe. So, you are going to protect her. And you can't hurt her in any possible way. Yamato has promised me the same thing." he explained.

"Good. She won't need me when she already has a one slightly over-protective big brother and my big brother to protect her."

"Promise me or I'll kick you out."

"…"

"Takeru…" Yamato whispered.

Takeru closed his book and sighed.

"I'm not going to babysit her, but fine, if I see someone trying to hurt her, I'll stop it."

Older ones smiled widely and Taichi slammed him on to his back.

"Great, I don't have to kick you out."

Takeru stood up and headed to his room, but when he got to the door, Taichi added:

"And don't tell her. She doesn't really like that I make everyone protect her, but hey, who is going to do my laundry, cook and clean up if something would happen to her? And of course, she's my number one in the whole world."

He shrugged and went inside to his room.

-~o~o~o~-

"Good morning Hika."

"If you keep having that long showers you'll became a mermaid one day."

"Good morning Yamato." she greeted the blonde and ignored her brother's comment. She had only a towel around her body and one around her hair. She didn't feel uncomfortable like this around Yamato or with Taichi. After all, Taichi was her brother and Yamato was almost her brother.

"Did you get any sleep?"

"Yeah, and I feel really home already. Though, I still miss our apartment."

"Why did you guys have to get out of there anyway?" Hikari asked as she realized that Taichi hadn't told that either to her.

"Mold."

"Eww… Thank god you got out of there. But I'm going to get changed." she said and disappeared to her room.

-~o~o~o~-

"We're going to play soccer. Want to join us?" Yamato asked his little brother who was writing something in some notebook.

"No thanks."

"Okay, well take care, bye!"

"…" he kept on writing. He heard the front door get opened and then closed and he knew that the older guys had left. He wrote the last words and put his notebook on his little nightstand. He then walked to the living room, sat on the couch and turned the TV on.

"Takeru?"

"…" he flipped through some channels instead of looking up to the girl that was talking to him.

"I was just wondering, do you have any wishes for dinner?"

"…"

"Do you have any wishes for dinner?" she repeated in case he hadn't heard her.

"…" now he was giving his cold glare. It froze Hikari immediately froze on her spot.

Yep, he had heard her.

Even though it was really scary for her, she couldn't turn her eyes away. His eyes we're so deep and… Beautiful. She prayed that she wouldn't get lost in them.

"No." he growled and turned his gaze away. She was still frozen and she couldn't move.

But then she heard her phone ringing and she snapped to the reality. She ran to her room and picked up.

"Hello?"

"Kari? Thank god you're alive!"

"…" she didn't know what to say. Yes, her best friend was little dramatic, but this was weird.

"KARI! YOU STILL THERE?"

"Yes yes yes Yolei I'm here. No need to yell…" she sighed.

She heard a deep relieved sigh from the other line.

"That's great! So I guess Takeru didn't come home last night?"

Now what the heck was going on?

"…But he did come… He's in the living room right now…"

"Is Taichi and Yamato okay? They're there too right?"

"…No, they're playing soccer…" she said completely confused.

"…Get out of there right now."

"Yolei, you're making me scared… What do you mean by that?"

"You don't know?"

"No, I have no idea what's going on so would you please tell me already?"

"He stabbed someone last night."

Hikari's eyes widened.

"Is that someone… Dead?" she whispered the last word.

"No. Ken told me… Please come over, I don't want you to be alone with that maniac."

"…Okay, I'll be there. Bye." Hikari said and tried to walk quietly to the front door. She started putting on her shoes.

"Where are you going?"

She couldn't look at him. She felt him standing right in front of her while she was kneeling. She slowly stood up. If she would look at him and look into his eyes, she could never leave the apartment.

"To my friend's place."

"And who is this friend?"

"What do you care?" she said back like he had said to her yesterday.

"I don't."

"Then why are y-"

"Because your brother cares."

"If he wants to know, just tell him to call me."

Then she ran out of the house. She was scared of him right know.

"His glare and eyes are so cold and it freeze me everytime but… It doesn't make me shiver. Ah, what the hell am I thinking?"

As she reached the building where Miyako lived in she could finally stop running and went inside the building.

Hikari walked to her friend's door and rang the doorbell. Miyako opened the door in the same second and hugged Hikari tightly.

"Thank god, thank god you're okaaaaayyy!" she sounded like she was going to cry.

"Of course I am…" she rolled her eyes but hugged her back. Miyako was once again overreacting.

They went inside Miyako's apartment and into her room. She was still shocked about the thing she had heard from Miyako. She wanted to know everything so she decided to ask about it.

"So Yolei, could you tell me the whole story now?"

Miyako gave a small nod.

"Okay. Well, Ken told me that he had been with Daisuke last night. You know, they're pretty good friends and Ken was staying a night over Daisuke's place. They we're little bored so they decided to go to some store to buy some chips before the shop would get closed. They we're running there somewhere around 9 o'clock and they saw some gang. And a fight. Ken didn't of course want to get involved, but Daisuke insisted that he wanted to see what was happening. Ken told that he would call the police if he wouldn't come back in five minutes. Daisuke agreed and went to see what was happening. Ken stood there and waited for Daisuke. He had walked under some tree because it was raining, and he didn't see what was going on. Then in couple of minutes, Daisuke ran up to him and he looked quite shocked.

'There was this Takaishi guy… He… He stabbed some poor kid in his arm… And everyone ran off! He stood there for a moment and then walked away.' Daisuke had told him."

Hikari shivered. How cruel was that! How could he stab someone?

"Did the injured guy run off too? Did they call the police?"

"Yes, that guy did run off with his friends and that's why Ken and Daisuke didn't call the police."

"I hope that guy is okay…"

"Yeah… Me too."

The girls sat there in a deep silence. Miyako was thinking about how cruel Takeru was and what would he do to Hikari, while Hikari was thinking why Takeru was so cruel and how could he be calmed down. Hikari hated to see, or even hear about people getting hurt. She always wanted to see something good in people; she thought it was impossible for someone to be completely bad or good.

After a while of silence they started to chat normally again. After Hikari spent few hours at Miyako's place, she said:

"I think I'll go home now."

Miyako's eyes widened.

"WHAT! You got to be kidding me! Like I would let you go there alone."

"Then why don't you come with me. He won't hurt me, remember? Even if Yamato and Taichi aren't home, it doesn't mean that he would do something to me. They would find out and be really mad at him."

Miyako frowned. She wasn't actually thrilled about Hikari going home. She would be alone with Takeru. But Miyako was afraid of Takeru more than Hikari. Taichi or Yamato wouldn't care as much if Takeru would kill her.

"Please just call Taichi there with you okay?"

Hikari smiled a little and sighed.

"Fine, I'll call him to fetch me."

-~o~o~o~-

Hikari got home with Taichi and took a quick scan around the house.

"Hey, do you have any idea where Takeru is?"

Taichi just shrugged and smirked.

"Why, do you miss him already?"

Hikari felt her cheeks go little warm. But to her brother she just rolled her eyes.

"No, I was just wondering."

"Then why didn't you ask about Yamato?"

"I guess I thought that they're together somewhere."

"Sure."

Hikari ignored Taichi's sarcastic tone. After a little while, they decided to order some take-out pizza. Hikari was the one to order. After she had ordered, she turned to Taichi.

"By the way, do you know what Takeru was doing last night? You know, when it was raining."

"No, why?"

Hikari wasn't sure if it would be fair to make Taichi dislike Takeru. But it could be important for him and for Yamato to know. She frowned and thought for a moment and then she made a decision.

She would tell Yamato, but not for Taichi. That should be okay…

"Hikaa? You okay?"

"Yeah."

-~o~o~o~-

"You're right. It's working."

Taichi waited for the response. Soon his cell phone gave a beep.

"I know. And don't worry, this'll be worth it. ;)"

"For once I hope you're right Yamato." Taichi whispered to himself.

And even though no one was there to see it, he was smirking.

-~o~o~o~-
