*continues on from chapter 2*

It was quite surprising that Mimi gave up so easily on Yamato. From what I know, they have been together from a very long time. And because of one simple mistake. Mimi just stopped trying. I felt sorry for Yamato...But also for Mimi for actually having to go out with someone like Yamato for so long too. But I sure wish she would get someone much much better.

I kept on walking Mimi home, now and then sneaking peeks at her. She stared at her shoes, which were pink. Looks great on her as always. But, eventually, we reached her house. I said my good-byes and left.

"Wait Ken-kun." Mimi turned around and called.

"Yes?" I turned around with a faint site of redness on my face.

"I was wondering, if you would like to maybe just go to the movies sometimes. I have to repay you some how by saving my life." She smiled sweetly.

I paused for second, thinking, was she asking me on a date. Or is it just a friendliness gesture or is it to pay me back for saving her? But, of course I gladly accepted.

"I would love to Mimi." I smiled and turned around heading toward the train station.

As I began walking, I heard a faint sound of Mimi calling towards thanking me.

I walked amoung the busy shoppers and tourists. I rode on the train towards back into my apartment building. Thinking, hoping, praying once some how I will be able to really bring a smile to Mimi's face. Then I would finally understand the true meaning of love.

Love....was always in a hurry. That I have to stop and wonder what's going on, what should I do. And why....the progress is all so confusing to me......

I opened the door into my empty home. I realized my father and mother were both still at work. And I would have the apartment all to myself. I smiled and sat down, turned on the T.V. and watched some comedy shows. But, no matter how funny they are. They could never make me smile like the way I could smile when I see Mimi. It's destiny for me........anyway.

The sky began to darken, and both mother and father arrived home. They were soaking wet. For the first time ever, they actually forgot their umbrellas on a rainy day. I grabbed a towel and handed it to them.

"Thank you Ken." Mom looked into my eyes and smiled kindly. She handed it back to me and went into the kitchen to make dinner.

"Thank you Ken." Dad echoed. He handed the towel back. He asked me how school was going. How was my friends. Things like that, I showed all 100% happiness to him. No matter, how much I feel like I want to crawl into a hole and never show my face again. I have to show my face at home, a happy face. Because, my parents has worked too hard. And I wasn't about to give it up.

*After dinner*

"Dinner was great mom." I smiled and helped to take the dishes.

"Oh you think so Ken dear." She replied.

"Of course." My dad added.

"Well, I'd better do my homework." I replied, bowing (A/N: I don't know why so don't ask) and leaving the room and entering my own domain.

"Hi, wormmon." I smiled.

"Hello Ken." Wormmon was actually half asleeps. (A/N: I don't know what digimons do when they're in the real world. So I'd be nice and let them to sleep)

"Well, I'll leave you to your sleep." I smiled and got out my homework.

Wormmon didn't reply probably already asleep. I smiled and went back to my math homework. But, every letter I see, ever number I see. Everything reminded me of Mimi. It was obessison. Indeed it was. But, it was hard to help it. I shook my head and tried to concentrate on my homework.

But it was indeed hard to concentrate on such boring algebra. I stood up took one glance at Wormmon and left my room. I told mother that I needed to take a walk. Math was filling up my mind. It was hard to concentrate on my homework. So I left quietly trying not to disturb anyone.

I stepped into the rain with no umbrealla, once again I was showered by.....water. It was like an old movie with scenes that doesn't make any sense. I stood still and stared straight into the puddles made by the rain and the cars rushing by. Splashing water everywhere. It was like I was a shadow and sometimes to people I was invisiable. It was annoying to me, how people think of me sometimes. It's the genius Ken Itchijoji. But, behind that I am not all that smart in many other diffrent subjects.

I thought about how strong Mimi was on about giving up his boyfriend just like that. It was quite surprising. Because, Mimi and Yamato had been together ever since the digidestineds were fighting me. I was jealouse of Yamato. And that was one of the reasons. I kept on fighting never giving up. But, the good defeated the bad.....as in me.

The rain poured down like a waterfall. I stood there, alone. But, then I saw a figure walking by. The figure was wearing a black raincoat with a long skirt. A speck of the figure's hair showed, it was Mimi. I could always reconize her.

"Kanban wa. Mimi-san." I said.

"Oh, Kanban wa. Ken-kun!" She smiled, there was water on her cheek. Not knowing if it was tears or just the rain. I smiled back.

"Want to take a walk?" Water dripped off her beautiful pink hair.

"Sure." I put my hands in my pockets. To keep them warm. I smiled at Mimi. She was so gentle so sweet and so heart broken. But she had to keep it a secret as if she didn't care.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah..." She paused and looked straight at me. For the first time ever, her face was stern.

"You sure?" I asked again.

"Not really, Ken-kun. I trust in you more then anyone else. Because, for some reason, your face could tell me that you can be trusted." Mimi gave me a peace sign and continued walking in the rain.

I didn't answer her right away. I stared athe the water splashing on to the puddles. She stopped walking and looked at me, it was confusing how she was thinking.

"Thank you Mimi." I finally answered.

"For what?" She asked.

"For being here for me." I said looking straight into her eyes. "For being a great friend."

"Oh Ken-kun. You're totally welcome, but I need to say thank you even more. You're the one who actually showed me the true meaning of friendship and.......love." She smiled and gave me a hug.

I blushed gently and hugged her back. She let go of me, and so did I. I didn't know the time, the place or anything else. But, for the first time that I understood, this was my destiny.

"Well, belive it or not. We walked to my apartment building." She smiled gently and touched my hair.

"Yeah, see ya." I said. Not caring about the world, but for Mimi.

"Bye Ken-kun." Her voice died down as she approached the building. I stood there until I lost sight of her. I walked back to my apartment building slowly, silently, only hearing the splashes of the rain. *A/N: I know it unusal for Ken to see Mimi just like that, since he have to take the train and all...Still. Go with the plot!*

I walked home slowly, my mom wasn't as worried as before, as if I was going to run away again. I will not be that childish stupid person I was before. The digimon emperor. HA! That was just a good joke I suppose. I will forever forget the that chapter in my life.

"I'm home Mom." I called.

"Oh hi Ken dear." She smiled to me, noticing I was soaked but didn't say anything.

"Let me get you a towel." She stood up and got me a towel.

"Thanks." I wiped my hair dry...sort of dry and took off my coat and shoes. I looked pretty normal after I got my wet things off.

"Why don't you take a bath Ken?" She asked.

"Sure mom." I walked into my room changed and took a warm bath. The water was very hot, but, it's always been hot...So I'm pretty used to it.

"Hi Wormmon." I said, wiping my hair dry.

"Hi Ken. Are you okay?" He looked at me with his beady little eyes.

"Yes I am Wormmon." I smiled and patted his head.

I stared at my undone homework. So I picked up a pencil and began doing the rest of my algebra homework.

Questions # 32 : 5X-10+20/7=5

Now that was simple. I don't know why they even bother to give us homework like that.

5X-10+20/7 Now that was simple mathmatics. I laughed gently and finished the rest of the
=7x5 Math homework. There was only 45 questions in all. It's time like this I enjoyed
=35-10 being a child genius. Actually, I'm not even a child anymore. I am already 13
=25/5 years old. And Mimi.....was 15 years old. That's two whole years older then me.
=5 Even though people say age is not that important. I do think so though. If I were
X=5 the same age as her. I would already have asked her out. But just because of my age I am afraid to.

"Bed time Ken!" Mom called into my room. I was already finished my homework.

"Sure!" I changed into my pajamas and climbed into my bunkbed. I gave Wormmon a hug and went straight to sleep.

**The NEXT day**

"Good morning Ken." Wormmon said.

"Good morning." I yawned and sat up. Realizing it was already 7:00. I jumped off the bed and changed into my school uniform. I brushed my teeth, washed my face and hands and headed to the kitchen for breakfast. I ate quickly and brought Wormmon an apple.

"Bye Wormmon, I have to go see ya!" I quickly rushed out the door.

"Bye Ken." Wormmon waved. I smiled and headed for the front door.

"Bye mom!" I called.

"Bye Ken." She smiled. I quickly smiled back and rushed out. I hope I can see Mimi today. I walked slowly past the high school hoping to get a glipsence of her. And I did.

"Good morning Mimi." I said.

"Good morning Ken." She mummbled. Yamato wasn't there.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Oh nothing. Could you meet me after school and maybe we'll go get some ice-cream?" She flashed me a bright smile.

I blushed lightly and said. "Sure, I would love that." I walked away with something to look forward to.

All day, I wasn't able to pay attention in class. I kept staring at the clock hoping 3 o'clock would come soon. Finally about three hundred years of torture, I finally got out. I rushed to the high school hoping Mimi would already be there. But, she wasn't. But, a group of guys leaned against the wall staring at me. I didn't do nothing, I just stood there hoping Mimi would get out soon.

"Hey you kid." One of the guys said.

"Hi." I waved back.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Waiting." I replied.

"For who?" They asked again.

"For Mimi Tachikawa." I replied.

"I knew it, you little slime." The big guy spit out his gum and approached me.

"Huh?" I stared at him with confusement.

"I saw you yesterday kid. Walking with her, I can't believe Mimi would go for a shorty like you." He stared at me right in the eye.

"We bumped into each other. No one planned anything." I explained.

"Well, we have to tell Yamato about this." One guy said.

"Yamato?" I asked. A rush of anger came out of me. So Yamato is part of their little group too heh?

"Yeah. Where's is that bum anyway?" The guy glanced around.

"I heard he's out with some girl named Candy." Another guy answered.

"SEE! Yamato's cheating on Mimi anyway. And Mimi and I are just friends." I shouted. I rarely raise my voice. But, I had to.

"Hmmm, well maybe you're right. But, still. Shouting back at us is not going to help you anyway." He picked me up by my shirt and started talking.

"You see, Mimi is like a securtiy blanket for Yamato. Because of her over stupidity, that she doesn't know Yamato was cheating on her. So when Yamato doesn't have any girls to go to. He could still hangs out with Mimi." He explained.

I was shocked that one of the DIGIDESTINEDS would do that. *A/N: DON'T KILL ME PLEZ!*

"WHAT?" My mouth was an O sign. Then I heard footsteps creeping up. Who could that be?

"Drop him!" Mimi demanded.

"Sorry Mimi." They let go of me immedietly and rushed away like scared little birds.

"Did you hear about.." I paused not wanting to repeat of what they said.

"Yeah. I did. And I can't believe I was a "security blanket" for Yamato." She stammered but was smiling.

"Hey, why are you smiling?" I asked.

"Oh, don't worry Ken. I am not that weak." She smiled and we went to get ice-cream. It was a great day, other then the picking me up by the collar of my shirt part...That was okay.
