LIMITZ II
The Consequences Of Partying
By flipstahhz
('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')
The brothers walked side by side in silence as they crossed down the street. It seemed that both were pulling themselves together from what had occurred an hour ago, but to them it only felt that it had happened just a second ago. The same imaged penetrated through their minds, no doubtfully of how their father had reacted when TK struck him. Their father appeared rather startled for a minute as he stared at his two sons, the quietly exited the room. Yamato brushed away his weak side in gaining his composure to hold his younger brother from doing much worse. After silently staying in the room for quite a while they looked at their mother for the last time and escaped the burdensome atmosphere. And now they were walking…
The pair hadn't even noticed that it the sky had begun showering small droplets of water until the rain became heavier. Yamato took off his jacket and draped it around his brother's shoulders. When TK had followed him, he hadn't worn decent clothing to suit the June weather. Even though it was meant to be summer the weather of that month tended to still heavily rain.
" You didn't have to…" His brother always protected him.
" You were getting soaked," Yamato said shortly.
TK tightened the jacket around him, maintaining his body from shivering violently. He wasn't trembling from the rain, but from how the guilt that still hadn't subsided when he was revealed to the truth of what his older sibling had done for him.
" You could have told me Matt," he said. " And I would of stopped acting like a dick to you. I only acted like one because I knew you were hiding something from me…and from everyone else as well. It hurts…"
His brother's striking icy eyes focused on him.
" It hurts that you didn't trust me…no us…your friends, your family," TK whispered in a sad tone which suited the weather well.
" Then…" Yamato finally spoke up, " as my brother, don't tell anyone about what happene-"
" That's the problem with you, Matt," TK sighed irritably, hands stroking his damp blond locks. " You always keeps things hidden and never bother to tell people how you really are feeling! Sometimes I don't know whether you're my brother or some cold stone rock!"
" TK, I'm sorry."
" You shouldn't be," TK barred his teeth viciously, but not towards Yamato. " If it wasn't for our stuffed up parents we wouldn't have been put in this situation in the first place."
" Don't say that -"
" After what they've done, I think I have the right to," he grumbled, his voice dropping a notch and becoming calmer. " Though, next time…tell me."
" Sure," the older boy replied. Even though it would take a while for them to get back their close relationship, at least they were taking a step forward for once. Abstractly he spoke, " How are you feeling about our mother?"
TK paused for a bit then gave a slight shrug, " I don't really feel sadness or pity towards her…it's probably cause I hardly remember being with her, everything's all faded when I look back. How about you?"
" Depressed," Yamato said honestly. " Even though she abandoned us, before she left…I could see regret in her eyes. I'll always remember it. She loved us, TK. That's all that matters."
" Yeah," TK gave another sigh and kicked the wet pebbles of the footpath they were both treading upon. " But the same can't be said about out father."
" I don't care about him. He's not the father I once knew. He's transformed into nothing but corrupt filth," he muttered lividly as if speaking of his father brought poison to his lips.
They proceeded on talking about their parents until could just make out music thumping in the distance.
Why can't you
Just tell the truth
(Why)
Why is it
So hard for you
Tell me
What you think
When you mess around
Do you see my face
(Do you see me?)
When she's goin' down?
If you really knew
(Oh no oh)
What I know about you
You'd be surprised
Couldn't look me
In my eyes
Hey
Sittin' home alone
Waitin' by the phone
Oh no
Not me
Your not the only one
Creepin'
They turned the corner of the walk that had been walking in. A particular enormous house was flooded with huge crowds of people. They didn't even need to make assumptions, it was obvious that this was the place where the rest of their friends had crashed.
Perhaps they needed a break from the drama.
The two didn't even need to speak since they most likely knew what each other had in their mind. Without hesitation, the pair blended into the crowds of people seeking shelter in the mansion. Hot sweat air struck them as they entered the house. They even had to hold their breath in just to get across to the other side of the room where there was 'actually' an empty space in the household.
Your not the
Only one
(Ha, ha, ha, ha)
Don't know why
I'm messin'
Wit'cha
(Ha, ha, ha, ha)
That's why
I do the thangs
You do
(Ha, ha, ha, ha)
But I can't help it
I love ya
(Ha, ha, ha, ha)
I don't know why
I'm messin'
With you
Why can't you
Look me
In my face
(Why)
Why can't you say
That you been
At her place
You hurry
Wash your clothes
The scent of her perfume
I already know
( I know what you doin')
Cause I do it too
" W-Woah…I-I'm seeing two Ma-tt's! I must b-be dreamin'!" a adolescent boy slurred. The jet-black haired boy could be mistaken for much older age since he was a rather tall lanky build and would tower over both Yamato and Takeru that is if he weren't slouching drunkenly.
It took a while for Yamato to figure the person out. " BRI!"
" MATT!" he exclaimed back, in a high pitched tone. He looked from him to TK. " So there are r-really two of y-you!"
TK dug his hands in his pockets, unpleased. He hated being mistaken as Yamato, though he hardly was since he usually had a beanie on…but that night his messy hair seemed identical to his brother's.
" No, TK's with me."
He watched his brother gave a small smile as he developed conversation with Bri. Even though Yamato was a pinch drunk, he wasn't completely as bad as his friend. TK remembered back how Bri was the youngest member in ' The Teen-age Wolves' back then and was the badass bass player in his brother's band. He wondered if the group still existed after Yamato chose to quit and join the LimitZ crew instead.
" Jame-s, Le-igh and Abs are h-here too," Bri said pointing at the remainder old band members. " They-they're a bit was-ted."
" Not as bad as you," Yamato chuckled, slightly decking his younger friend on the back.
TK scanned through the crowds of people, sneaking a glance to see where Kari might be about. A scowl appeared on his face when he couldn't find her. He had a feeling that she was probably drunk and flirting with some other guy. He frowned. He tossed his attention back to his brother's conversation.
" So, where's your sister?"
" Talkin' t-o some hot chick. Out of my league th-ough, about my sist-er and you-r age. I'm too you-ng for her. It's a pity."
" I think you should go home," Matt advised. Bri was slurring a bit too much that he was having some problems understanding what he was saying. " It's getting late."
" It's onl-only e-eleven," Bri objected. Matt was pretty certain now that the boy needed rest. Even his friend's vision was failing him, it was actually one am.
Suddenly there was a loud crash. Everyone stopped dancing and talking just to stare at where the commotion had taken place. A loud booming voice screamed after that and soon enough people where surrounding where all the noise was coming from, eager for some sort of mischief or quarrel.
" Oh shit," TK swore as he exchanged troubled glances with his brother. They both knew Tai didn't handle his liquor well. They ran to where the voice was yelled.
The only thing that continued to beat on was the music…
If you really knew
(Oh no oh)
What I know about you
You'd be surprised
Couldn't look me
In my eyes
In ma face (Hey)
Sittin' home alone
Waitin' by the phone
Oh no

Shattered glace pieces scattered on the tiled floorboards. From the looks of things, someone had probably thrown a stone through the window. A few inches from the scene was Taichi. A few of his friends were bawling in laughter, clutching their stomachs because Tai was standing right next to the window and just missed the stone by a few inches. Now that all attention was drawn to him, an insane smile flickered on his face. A drunk Tai, plus attention never had a good outcome.
The boy trotted along to where he could barely make Mimi's figure. He yelled in a loud voice over the music, " AND THIS IS MY GIRL!"
Mimi had returned next to Sora and had been introduced with Rosalyn, they were all having a great talk until Taichi popped out of nowhere.
" Oh no," Sora gasped, shaking her head disapprovingly. This didn't look good…
Rosalyn arched an eyebrow in curiosity. While Mimi buried her face in her hands in pure embarrassment and humiliation.
" GO TAI!" a group of guys hollered, wooing the brunette headed boy on.
Possessively, Taichi wrapped his arms around his girlfriend's waist and tightly pressed his bodies against hers. Mimi's eyes lost her vividness as he began to trail hard kisses from her lips towards her neck as he let his hands grope her. While he was making out with her in front of an audience, he let his hands go through her long locks as he lustfully began to dig deeper into kisses. She stood there petrified. People still cheered. The atmosphere had suddenly turned sickening and disgraceful.
Suddenly Rosalyn jumped in a slapped Taichi on the cheek with all the strength she could convene. She was clearly disgusted with the open show he had performed and it was clear she wasn't the only one.
" That's enough," Sora glared as she spoke in a , as she pushed the drunken Taichi off her best friend. She was never the type to yell, but when she cracked it she was dangerous, " What the HELL are you thinkin'?"
" She's m-my girl," Taichi cackled intoxicated as a smirk played on his lips.
" I don't know who the hell you are, but stop smiling you bitch!" in timing, Rosalyn slapped him again gaining a 'oaaahhh' from the crowd. He clutched his cheek as Mimi had her self-control come back, edging away from her drunk boyfriend not noticing the warm tears rolling down her pale face.
Sora rushed to Mimi, putting a supporting arm around her. She cringed when she felt Mimi uncontrollably shaking under her grasp, murmuring words of comfort to her best friend.
" And what the hell is up with all of you? Cheering when you could clearly see that Mimi was ."
" She wanted it," Tai sneered.
Rosalyn was about to slap him again, but someone had saved her from doing it. A few seconds later Tai was sprawled on the floor unconscious.
" The damage's already done. I'm sorry we're late," Yamato shook his head as he rubbed his fist that he had used to punch his best friend. TK walked over towards Sora and helped her support Mimi.
There was silence for a while until some of Taichi's friends had decided to batter up Yamato. Luckily, Jyou stood in their away to prevent them from doing so.
" You," Yamato said icily, cool eyes leering at him in fury.
Jyou and Yamato stared at each other for a while in mutual silence. Jyou bent down an took a set of keys from Taichi's pocket and handed it over to the blond headed boy. " Take him home."
('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')
Yamato dropped off Mimi and Sora off.
Sora helped her friend up the stairs and into the house. Immediately Mimi took a shower. Sora shuffled her feet, unsure how to handle the whole situation. What had happened that night between Mimi and Tai still remained clear in her mind. She didn't know what had possessed Tai to act like a complete moron in front of everyone. Tai was an idiot. She felt so sorry for Mimi's behalf. She was practically crimson in embarrassment. If Yamato did that to her she's bash the crap out of him…if. But she didn't understand why Mimi just stood there…
She walked over to the kitchen and turned the kettle on. She let her eyes stare about the dark apartment. Various boxes were scattered everywhere…they hadn't managed to unpack all the boxes yet.
She accomplished making coffee and planting herself in the dining room as she patiently waited for Mimi to finish he shower. She closed her eyes and let her head fall into her hands. What a night…
Yamato scared her too. When he appeared there all of a sudden, it was like he took control of it all. After Sora had fetched Kari out of Cody's room and they all has slumped into the convertible…the tension in the vehicle was strange. Everyone was silent. She recalled glancing at the mirror to see Yamato's intent face only focused on the road, most likely mangled in his own thoughts. He seemed colder than usual…even TK did.
It took her a while to figure out that Mimi had sat in front of her when she had been so lost in her thoughts she didn't notice the other's presence.
" You can tell me, Mimi. Tai was an ass tonight…but he didn't really mean it," Sora explained, but somehow she knew it wasn't the case her best friend was about to talk about.
" I…" she whispered in a hushed voice. " I don't know Sora…I would have done something…but-"
" I know you would of…but I don't understand why you didn't."
" I couldn't…" she shuddered. " It was all…it was like I was with Acey again. Like the time he raped me…Tai…he had the same vibe. I'm scared…I don't think I'm ready to date just yet…"
"Mimi," Sora sighed. She reached out for her friend and let her collapse in her arms. " Don't worry…it'll never happen again. I promise you…"
" Thanks Sorrr," she replied with gratitude.
" Now let's get some rest," Sora gave her younger friend a kiss on the cheek as she led her to bed.

Morning came. And so did the events that occurred the night before tumbled back in all their heads. At the Kamiya household Taichi was one of the few people that was presently up. He slipped into a pair of black slacks he had seen randomly on the floor. He still wore the short he had last night and could smell the sweat and vomit on it. Feeling disgusted, he tore it off.
He stole a gaze at the other two people in his bedroom. Yamato and TK were still in a deep sleep in their beds. Taichi thought that he had woken up late, guess he was wrong. Those two brothers slept like bricks, it already was 10:30 am…Taichi was used to them waking up later after all. Suddenly Taichi cringed as his hands fell onto his head as he scrunched his brown locks of hair in agony. Last night…
What had happened?
He only remembered seeing his new car…and everything went blank after that. He cursed…there was only answer to what he had done last night, he just crossed his fingers it wasn't that bad. He had always been a terrible drunk. His head was still throbbed viciously when he walked into the hallway. He shortly found himself back in the living room switching haphazard channels with the remote. Someone sat abut him.
" I woke up before you, Kari," his lips curled, he hadn't bothered to strain his eyes to see her sit next to him. He cast a sideways glance, lips uncurling when he saw that his sister's fists were curling. " What have I done wrong now?"
Kari grumpily kicked him. " You're an ass, you know? Put as shirt on, you dick! There's no one else you can impress in this house. You've probably ruined it with Mimi-"
" Kari, dear, don't insult your brother," their mother entered the living room with an apron wrapped around her slim figure as she held a wooden spoon. " And Tai, darling, you should really put something on. It's a sign of laziness, you know?"
" Yeah," he mumbled, but not moving a notch from his sitting position. He wondered what he had done to make Kari pissed with him. They had been in good terms for a while after making up before coming back to Japan, but now he wasn't so confident in their brotherly sisterly relationship.
" I'm going back to the kitchen, we're having pancakes today!" Ms. Kamiya declared ecstatically as she left the living room to tend to the meal she had been cooking. " Oh no! I left the stove on! Some of the pancakes are burnt!"
Taichi sighed. He might as well try and win Kari over, he was sick of fighting with her. He attempted to win her with sly humour, " Typical of our ma to leave the stove. I think I'll pass, her cooking is disgusting."
She didn't meet his amused glance and haughtily snatched the control off his hands and switched the channel to watch an episode of House. Unhappy that his scheme hadn't worked, Taichi let his hands fall behind his head as his eyes idly bored on the television screen.
The phone rang. The siblings continued to watch the show. It rang again. Their mother most likely hadn't gotten it because she was still cooking breakfast. It rang again. Taichi noted that Kari hadn't budged. Then it rang again. Taichi growled and went to answer the phone. The constant ringing of the phone had triggered his head to hurt again.
" Hello, Kamiya Residence," he spoke.
" Hello, can I please speak to Tai."
He recognized the voice. " It's him…Sora?"
" YOU'RE SUCH A BASTARD, YOU KNOW!"
Taichi clapped his hand over his ear massaging it, his head begun to throb painfully even more. " Can you stop yellin' Sora! I've got this massive headache, what are you all pissed about this time? Stop being a bitch, do you have your PMS?"
" You're the BITCH! Fuckin' hell, Tai! Blame PMS, as usual, when you know it's your darn fault in the first place!"
" What the fuck are you on about?" he shouted, then heard his mother scream from the kitchen to not swear. He lowered his voice. " Seriously."
" You want me to be serious now? Fuck Tai, I'm not just playin' with your head right now! I'm so darn serious right now!"
" What did I do?" Taichi queried. Whatever that had happened last night, couldn't have been that bad. Could it? It had been a while since he recalled Sora being this enraged. He gave a shudder and then repeated what he had just said in a calmer tone as he picked up what Kari had said earlier, " What did I do, Sora? What did I do to Mimi?"
He heard her take a heavy breath from the receiving end of the line. She started to speak…
" To put into simple words, you were fucking groping and making out with her in front of a stupid audience!"
Taichi closed his eyes. Shit… But he didn't understand why Mimi hadn't pushed him off. " What –"
Sora intervened, knowing what Taichi was about to say. " You left her in a horrible state. She was shaking. You acted like the biggest ass last night! I could even hear her crying in her sleep…I've barely gotten some sleep. You're lucky I even managed to get her out of the house to do shopping by herself -"
" Why…why didn't she just push me off," he croaked guiltily.
" If you were a proper boyfriend, it should have all clicked by now!" Sora spat. " It's Acey, ya know?"
" Acey, what does that bitch have to with it?"
" You acted exactly like him, last night," Sora stated.
" What? We're different!"
" I know you're different," Sora let out another exasperated stressful sigh. " But Tai…you can't just suddenly do that…even if you were drunk, you still should of at least had common sense not to get wasted that bad."
" But -"
" She was scared, Tai. She was scared. Haven't you thought that the two of you might be getting together to quickly?" she questioned. " I don't need to remind you that Acey raped her and she still gets nightmares about it…she hasn't fully recovered."
" Shit," it all clicked now. " I need to apologize -"
" No, Tai," Sora said sternly. " Give her some time to cool down…"
With that, she hung up the phone.
" Fuckkk!" he groaned, still keeping his voice quiet so his mother wouldn't hear him cursing. " Shit! Fuck! Shit."
" It was your fault."
Taichi glanced to the direction where the voice had come from. From the looks of things, it seemed that Yamato had woken up.
" Sorry for listening in the conversation," the blond headed boy said. " I practically heard Sora's screaming voice waking me up. So I guess you found out…TK and I luckily went to the party. Sorry, but I sort of knocked you out to save you from doing more harm. Then I drove you all home…"
" Drove?"
" Yeah, that reminds me," Yamato jingled out some keys from his pocket. " I need to return the car."
" It's mine," Taichi said. " Jyou and the gang gave it to me. Damn you Matt! You got to drive around in my own car before me!"
" Well," Yamato's gaze leered angrily at his best friend, though the tone of his voice remained as cold an neutral as ever. " I'm glad that you're happy now. From one night, you got yourself a car…but you reasonably pissed everyone off, including your girl. Though, I guess your new car is more worth it than any of your friends."
" I'm sorry, Matt," Taichi stared at the ground, unable to take and see the disappointment in his friend's penetrating gaze.
" You shouldn't be saying sorry to me," Yamato stretched his arms, " …I'm just fed up with all this shit right now…"

There you go! ( By the way, this is rated M for a reason). I shouldn't have made Tai an ass…but I'm trying to make this real as possible. There's no such thing as a perfect relationship, correct?
