OK, I forgot to warn every one of the couplings in the story

OK, I forgot to warn every one of the couplings in the story. It's Mishiro, Daikari, and Taiora. If you people don't like these couples I suggest you don't read! I'll try to make it up to the Mimato, Takari, etc. fans. Now on with the fic! Oh yeh! New name! ~ Tomo-chan

Dedication: This story is dedicated to my brother, Veemon-chan, even though he hates Mishiro! -_-' … ^_^

&^&^&^& Koushiro's POV &^&^&^&

I waited patiently for our friend Mimi Tachikawa at the airport. My music was the sound of people chattering, and my entertainment was my friends. Everyone was playing truth or dare. It was Hikari's turn.

"Yamato…truth or dare?" she asked.

"Um…DARE!" he replied boldly.

"I dare you to let me put make up on you!"

"What?!?! No way!"

"C'mon Matt! Take it like a man!" Taichi encouraged.

"Hey! I don't see you agreeing to letting your sister do this to you!" Matt argued.

"I will! C'mon Kari! Bring it on!" Tai yelled to his little sister. She walked over to him, make-up pack in hand. Everyone watched as Kari carefully placed make-up on Tai's face. Matt just stared in disbelief. Finally Kari was done. I laughed at the finished "product" There was Tai, lipstick on his lips. Blush, eye shadow, everything!

"You're turn, Matt!" Hikari yelled to him.

"OK! Fine!" Matt agreed and trembled as Kari carefully placed hot pink lipstick on his lips. About 5 minutes later Kari stepped back and admired her work.

"Perfect!" she said, stepping away so that everyone could see. I fell to the floor laughing, Kari had done something different with him; she made him look like a clown! I couldn't believe it. She had let the lipstick go off his lips. Then she made red circles on his cheeks with the lipstick. I couldn't begin to guess why Matt did not feel that something about what she was doing was wrong. Kari handed him a mirror. Matt screamed in pure terror. He ran off to the bathroom, first grabbing a towel to hide his face, to clean it off.

"I better go too." Tai said, getting off the chair he was sitting in. He ran at Matt saying "Run for your life Matt! I am the Make-up Monster!"

&^&^&^& Mimi's POV &^&^&^&

I saw Tai run after Matt screaming something and laughed whole-heartedly. I didn't catch what he said, but I knew it was funny because Matt ran even faster, screaming louder too. The gang turned in the direction of my laugh.

"MIMI!" they all yelled.

"Hey guys!" I screamed in return. Soon everyone was in a frenzy of hugs. "So what were Yamato and Taichi yelling about?" They all burst out laughing. "Come on! Tell me!" Sora took the time to stop laughing and told me what had happened. Soon, I too was laughing.

"What's so funny everyone?" I heard from behind. I spun around and saw Taichi. "TAI!" I yelled.

"Mimi!" he yelled back.

"Hikari…it's time for payba…Mimi!" Yamato said. The next few hours were spent on figuring out how other people's lives were going. Then, we finally decided that it was time to go home. I walked out to the parking lot towards Yamato's car. I stepped inside.

"Mimi, where are you staying?" Koushiro asked.

"Oh, you didn't hear? My mom conversed with your mom over the phone and said I was staying at your place! Isn't that cool?"

%^%^%^% Koushiro's POV %^%^%^%

When I heard the news my stomach did something unexpected. It did a roller coaster flip flop. I couldn't understand why it had done that. I surely wasn't sick; Mimi was the one who was just on an airplane, not me. I had to say something; or else she would think that I did not want her here in Odaiba, which was the complete opposite of what I was thinking.

"Wow! That's great Mimi!" I said, unsure of how I sounded.

"I'd like to spend time with you, that is if you're not stuck behind that computer of yours all the time" Mimi said. She laughed a bit.

"I'll try not to disappoint" I told her, smiling. She smiled back warmly and she turned back to her and Sora's conversation. Her hair bounced on her shoulders as she turned her head.

"Hey Koushiro! Stop staring" Tai whispered to me teasingly.

"I wasn't staring" I whispered back.

"Yeah, sure Koushiro! I believe you!" Taichi told me, this time raising his voice.

"About what, Tai?" TK asked.

"Oh, nothing…nothing at all." was all Tai said to him.

^_^_^_^_^_^ In Koushiro's Backyard ^_^_^_^_^_^

"Yum! This looks delicious Yamato!" Mimi complimented.

"She's probably only saying that because she's REALLY hungry" Daisuke whispered to Kari. She giggled.

"Look at those two, Izzy!" Mimi said after swallowing what she had taken a bite of.

"Who?" I asked, my mouth still full of food.

"Daisuke and Kari!" Mimi replied.

"Ooooohhhh…What about them?" I said, taking another bite of my food.

"Koushiro…don't you see the way they giggle and flirt?" Mimi told me.

"I prefer not to…" I answered.

"Help me set them up!" Mimi shouted. She put on her best puppy-dog face and it made me weak in the knees. If I hadn't been sitting I probably would've fell.

"All right," I said in defeat.

"Great!" she said, taking another big bite of her food.

@#@#@#@# Inside @#@#@#@#

Mimi was on the DVD karaoke machine singing O-Town "Every 6 Seconds". I watched as her body swayed side to side to the beat of the music, her voice coming out nice and smooth, almost so sweet it made me sleep. I listened and felt my heart melt. I couldn't imagine what my heart was thinking right now. For once, my mind did not know why I was feeling this way. Especially for a girl I've known almost all my life.

"Koushiro! Your friends' parents are here!" my mom yelled. We all got up and said our good-byes.

^&^&^&^ Mimi's POV ^&^&^&^

"Bye everyone! I'll see you tomorrow!" I yelled to everyone as they left.

"Mimi! Don't do anything!" Sora said before she stepped into her car. I stood there may mouth hanging open at what Sora meant by "do anything". How could she think that? Author: Good job to those who got it…to those who didn't…maybe you will later on…or not!

"Hey come inside now Mimi!" Koushiro called out.

"I'm coming!" I stepped inside and walked to the corner where my bag was. I took out an over-sized t-shirt and went to the bathroom to change. I came out with a comb and started brushing my hair. "Mrs. Izumi? Where will I be sleeping?" I asked her.

"In Koushiro's room on the floor. I'll go get your sleeping bag" she answered. I waited until she came back. "Here you go sweetheart!" I took the bag and started walking to the restroom to change. I came out and walked down the hall and into Koushiro's room. He was on the computer…as always.

"Hey there Koushiro!" I said cheerily. Koushiro. A name I've been saying most of my life, but never noticed how much I loved him. How much I loved to say it. How could I never have noticed? "Chatting with your girlfriend on the Internet?" I teased.

"You know I have no time for that if I wish to do good in my schoolwork, Mimi" he told me seriously.

"Sorry Koushi" I said, suddenly feeling bad. He was really serious about his work. I don't know how I keep hoping Koushiro and I were an item. It's seems so out there, when he's so concentrated on his work. Still, I hope and I dream. I rolled out the sleeping bag and put myself into it. "Good night, Koushi!" That night I dreamed.

"Help me Koushiro! I'm falling! I'm slipping off the edge!" I yelled.

"Hold on Mimi! I'm here!" he yelled to me. Koushiro's strong arms pulled me out of the dark hole. He held me in his arms as I cried into his chest. "Shhhhh Mimi. It's okay. I'm here. I always will be." I looked up into his brown eyes. He brushed his lips on top of my forehead. "Mimi, I love you"

"Really Koushiro?"

"Really" We drew closer until I could feel his breath. Then I woke up. Dammit! Why does every good dream end when it really starts getting good. I hate that. Dawn was barely breaking and I wiggled myself out of my sleeping bag. I looked over to the sleeping figure on the bed and softly kissed his forehead.

"I hope you're having a sweet dream, Koushi-chan" I said, and went to the restroom.
