I had touble starting and writing this chapter, I had no ideas for this chapter but thanks to two songs "Tell Me Something Good" and "Touch", I finally made an idea! So, enjoy reading!


Chapter 10: A Fair Kiss

She held a red balloon in her lap gazing at the red reflection it gave off to her, her hand felt the rubbery texture rub on the tips of her fingers. She laughed when she heard her fingers and the balloon make that funny sound when you rubbed the red balloon. Mimi threw it up in the air seeing her reflection get smaller and then get bigger when it came back down to her. Both of her hands grabbed it and once again she watched herself on the red balloon. She brought her hand touching the bottom and top lips with her two fingers. She remembered that kiss from yesterday but she had no clue why he did that or what it meant for him, let alone for them.

"Matt…" She whispered his name as she lightly hugged her balloon.

She sat on her futon Indian style separating her fingers from her mouth. She wondered why Matt had done that because she could not think of an answer at all. She was clueless.

In the kitchen Matt poured himself some juice in a glass cup and when finished he watched his younger brother sheepishly walk into the dining room with his headphones on. He pulled out a chair and sat in it placing his chin on the table yawning. Matt closed the refrigerator door and pulled himself a chair out sitting across from T.K. Taking a drink from his glass cup he takes note that the guestroom door was still shut closed.

"Good morning, big brother!" T.K yelled out through his music.

Matt reached over to unplug one of T.K's headphones. "Good morning, T.K." Matt sighed afterwards. "How are you doing?"

"Hm?" T.K lifted his head up from the table confused and with the use of his thumb he touched the screen on his ITouch to pause his music. "You're asking me 'how am I doing'?"

Matt arched his brow. "Yes…?"

T.K crawled onto the table putting his face inches away from his brother who already seemed annoyed, but that didn't matter to T.K, he was used to it anyway. "…Are you on drugs?" He whispered.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Matt shoved his hand onto his brother's face pushing him back to his chair.

"You never ask how am I doing, something is on your mind! C'mon, tell me what's got your mind racing!"

"Nothing that concerns you, that's for sure."

T.K sat quietly gazing at his brother. "Did something happen between you and Mimi?"

Before he could drink from his cup of juice Matt, for the briefest moment, looked at T.K scared but quickly erased that emotion and gulped down some fruit juice. T.K muttered to himself "I knew it," and looked down at his ITouch searching for a specific song that he had loved so much only because Kari said it made her laugh whenever he sung that song to her. He didn't comprehend why she would laugh at him but he didn't care he loved her laugh. "Ah-ha!" he yelled out playing the song and then moved to the beat.

"What are you doing?"

"Shut up and listen!" T.K's moment came when he heard the words come out from his headphones. "You ain't got no kind of feeling inside~,"

"Why are you singing?"

"She's got something that will sure 'nuff set yourself on fire! You refuse to put anything before your pride! But what she's got will knock all your pride aside! Tell her something good! Tell her that you love her! Tell her something good! Tell her that you like, YEAH!"

But Matt had enough of his out of tune singing, he reached over the table unplugged the headphones from his ears and snatched the ITouch from T.K's hands. He quickly walked over to the kitchen sink and showered T.K's IPod with cold refreshing water but that wasn't enough for him, no, he grabbed the vegetable sprayer and sprinkled more water on it.

"What are you doing!" T.K jumped off from his seat and ran to climb on top of Matt's back. He tried reaching for his mp3 player but was blocked by Matt's elbow, he saw in horror that his elder brother began pouring that thick green dish washing soap on top of it and then poured more water from the vegetable sprayer. When Matt pressed the Home button, the screen came out to be defective. "My ITouch..." He whimpered while biting his lip.

T.K jumped off from his brother's back storming towards the door to cool off and before he could slam the door shut his final words were meaningless to Matt. "That's OK! I got warranty on it anyway! HA! HAHA!" With that he slammed the door shut.

Matt sighed as he glanced at the door from the kitchen nodding his head and wiping the ITouch clean with a towel. "Idiot, you didn't get warranty because I bought this for you." Thank God it was on sale too. But now he has to buy him a new one, what a drag. The door to the guestroom quietly opened with Mimi's head peeking through, Matt's heart beat seemed to skip and his face seemed hotter. He hasn't talked with Mimi since that kiss of his from yesterday. He felt embarrassed and ashamed at himself; he had no right to do such a thing to Mimi.

She had no time for him. She had to restore her memories.

"I-is everything ok? Where's T.K?" Mimi asked in concern.

Matt took a gulp down his throat and looked down at the now dry ITouch then he walked out from the kitchen and sat back down on the dining chair where he gently placed the ITouch. "Yea, he started singing and then well I…purposely drowned his IPod in the sink." It was true but he couldn't bring himself to tell Mimi why he started singing that song to him.

"Oh," Mimi began walking towards the table and from the corner of his eye; he saw her pull out a chair next to him. Well, wasn't this awkward. For a moment or two Matt and Mimi only sat next to each other in silence and they both felt the tension raise for every second that time passed. Matt as hard as he tried focused on something else, from the screen TV to the black sofa and to the ticking clock but that made everything worse for him.

"I'm sorry!"

To surprise, they both had blurted that out in sync and it embarrassed them both awhile puzzled each other.

"Why are you sorry?" Matt asked as if she was going crazy.

"Well…!" Her cheeks turned red as she began. "Um, I was thinking about yesterday…" She gripped her pajama bottoms a little tighter and twisted around her finger. "And I'm sorry that I didn't…say anything back to you. I thought maybe that's why you were not talking to me."

Matt glanced at her hands as they continued to mess with her pajama bottoms. She assumed that he was mad at him, why did she think? Oh yea, he didn't talk with her. But being mad at her, there's no way he'd ever feel that way towards Mimi. Besides, being rejected from a kiss a natural thing. He closed his eyes and sighed shaking his head a little bit. He placed his hand on top of her head feeling her natural curly brown hair between his fingers. "I'm not mad at you for saying nothing after…you know." He removed his hand from her head, now it was his turn. "The reason why I didn't say anything was because I had no right to do that to you."

Mimi stopped her fingers from doing anymore twisting. She was relieved because she heard Matt say that he wasn't mad at her, it made her form a small smile on her face. She placed her fingers on the bottom of the chair lifting her body slightly off from the cushion and picked it up from the ground and finally placed it down on the floor where she was now facing Matt. His face was blank unable to tell what Mimi was trying to do. She scooted her body to the edge of the chair, took a deep breath and closed her eyes shut and her lips pressed together.

Matt arched a brow. "What…are you doing?" Her face didn't look normal.

She relaxed her face exhaling a soft minty breath of air. "Well I thought it would be fair,"

"Fair?"

"Yes, fair! Since you kissed me I thought I'd kiss you."

"Well Mimi, it doesn't work that way really. Just because I kissed you doesn't mean you have to, I did it because…-" He stopped talking realizing what he was going to say, even his face felt warmer than ever. "…because…" He just couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Because…?"

He averted his eyes elsewhere, somewhere in front of him, maybe the ticking clock. "I did it because," He placed his hand on his stomach where he always felt that weird feeling. "My stomach told me too." His words just didn't seem right.

"Your stomach told you?" His words then confused Mimi.

"Wait, that's not right." He turned his body to face Mimi's. "My stomach feels weird every day when I'm with you."

"Do you need medicine for it?" She was oblivious.

"Uh no," He scratched his head quick and hard. "It's diffiuctl to explain really, at least for me."

Mimi looked at his stomach and then at his face, he saw her smile appear again. Her soft smile just made that weird feeling appear in the pit of his stomach. She reached over to grab his large thin hand and placed it where her heart was. "My heart, it too feels weird when I see you every day and it also told me to share a fair kiss with you."

"Mimi, you don't…"

"I do and I want to." She entwined her fingers with his, she felt his fingers brush against hers and she liked the way her hands and his entwined as one. Her eyes looked back at Matt's and gave him a smile, the same smile she gave him when they first met. She reached over closing the space between them and Matt closed the remaining space between them and they touched. Hands and hands, lips to lips, and they touched.

They broke from their kiss catching a breath of air for the next and when they did, Mimi furrowed her brows from confusion. She started to remember a memory.

Every student began running across the streets. Policemen yelled and directed them away from Okinawa University campus, and some had their automatic pistol in hand ready to shoot. Mimi had come out from her classroom scared and running down the hall to get outside of the school, she was frustrated on how she was on the second floor. She ran down along with some classmates down the stairs. She bumped into Tai and together hand in hand they ran through the doors but in their way were four gunmen. The shooters that started this panic on campus and without mercy they aimed and...

BANG. BANG. BANG. BANG.

Mimi's eyes widen in fear pulling away from Matt and their kiss, she put pressure against her head with her hands breathing faster and faster with tears running down her cheeks in fear. "Guns…" Mimi repeated over and over again. Matt lifted Mimi up from the dining chair knowing where to take her. She may not be fainting but something like this, shortness of breath and panic, was something he could not handle. Mimi wrapped her arms lightly on his neck and her mouth still puffing out short breaths but the words from her mouth scared Matt even more.

"Guns…"
