Here it is. After I've proof read it a million times to make sure it's decent enough to post.
Okay, before I start, I need all Mimato fans to sign a contract or a pact or whatever that states that you will not kill me. I also want all Mimoe fans to sign that same contract or pact. If you won't sign, just promise that you won't kill me. Please! I still have so many ideas in my head. I'm too young to die. *beckons toward ten bodyguards to surround me*
Alright, I know that many of you wanted a bit of Mimato in here. But the truth is, I never really saw Matt and Mimi together. I more of saw Mimi and Joe together, but since Joe isn't in this fic *again hides from Joe fans so that they don't kill me* I couldn't really make any sort of hint at a Mimoe. And I know that Matt is in here, but well.... you'll just have to see. Just don't flame me. Please. I made this a Kouyako. I'm sure people will still love me for that. Won't you? And there are hints of Taiora and Takari... *cowers back fearfully* Oh, please don't hurt me! Please, please, please!
Well, I've talked enough. Just, please promise not to kill me... (Again, I don't own Digimon)
Lost In The Moment
Part 4
Loud music blared throughout the gym from The Teenage Wolves. All the Odaiba students seemed to be really enjoying Matt's band. (And who wouldn't?)
(A/N: If you're wondering, I decided to change Matt's band's name to their correct name. Thanx Miyako-Yolei-Izumi for telling me the name. ^_^)
Mimi paced around the room behind the gym. She was about to have a nervous breakdown. One of the girls who was supposed to perform with her had a last minute emergency and couldn't show up. Mimi didn't know what she was going to do.
She stopped in front of the full length mirror for the hundredth time and smoothed out the shiny white sleeve-less dress she wore. She pulled her long white silk gloves off and walked in front of the fan. She almost felt like crying. It was hot and she wasn't ready to perform. Not until she could figure out what to do.
"Mimi?" Jade poked her head inside the room.
"Oh goody, you're here!" Mimi clasped her hands in joy. Well, Mimi had already thought of a way to fix things. The only problem was that she wasn't sure whether it would work or not.
Jade stepped into the room revealing a long emerald green strapless dress. She wore it with matching long silk gloves. Her hair was piled on top of her head with dark green and purple stone design pins holding it all in place.
"Tenga said you were looking for me," Jade said, "What's wrong?"
Mimi took a deep breath, "Okay, what I'm about to ask you is really going to tick you off, but please, please, please help me out." Without waiting for Jade to say anything, Mimi spoke again, "One of the girls bailed on me at the last minute and I really need a third person to sing back up and play the keyboard and sing her parts and you were the only person I could think of at the moment who knew the parts so... couldyoupleasedoitforme?" She clasped her hands together in front of her ready to beg at any moment, but also felt ready to run if Jade went postal on her.
"You... want me... to perform... in front of... all... those... people...?" Jade said making sure she heard right. She began to shake her head and mouth the word "no" over and over again as Mimi nodded pleadingly.
"Oh, please, Jade," Mimi said, "I really need your help."
"I'm not doing it," Jade said as the door to the room opened.
Tenga, one of the girls performing with Mimi, walked in with Matt and his band.
"Okay," Matt said to Mimi, "The DJ's going to play about three songs and then you're on." He noticed the nervous look on Mimi's face, saw Jade, saw Mimi looking like she was about to beg Jade for a favor, didn't see the other girl and put everything together in a split second.
"Don't tell me you're not ready, Mimi," Matt asked, "Where's Trina?"
"Trina had an emergency at the last minute," Tenga explained, "We're short one person-"
"Right. Trina doesn't have an emergency last minute thing going on. She's just lazy and just doesn't want to show," Matt said. He took a guess at what Mimi was planning on doing now, "So, Mimi's planning on asking Jade for help?"
Tenga shrugged at the comment about Trina. She nodded and looked hopefully at Jade, "J's practiced with us before. Trina kept bailing on a lot of practices, but we never cut her out because we figured she knew all the music already. J took her place and practiced with us so that we would get everything right."
"You think that Jade will be able to fill Trina's place?" Matt asked trying to hold in his laughter.
Jade caught the hint of haughtiness in Matt's voice and turned to glare at him.
"If she could do it," Matt joked harshly, "Then let's have all the girls stop loving me. I bet my popularity on the fact that Jade can't do it."
(A/N: Okay, to Matt fans- I know Matt's not that way over his head. But in this story, he and Jade really don't get along. Always fighting. And I needed to give Jade motivation, besides helping Mimi, to perform with Mimi.)
"You're head is getting bigger and bigger everyday," Jade rolled her eyes, "Your ego is larger than the Eastern Hemisphere itself."
"But I have a reason for it," Matt said.
"You know what, Mimi?" Jade said glaring at Matt, "I'll help you. And I'll make sure that Matt is no longer the popular cute guy he thinks he is. If, in some magical way, his popularity will go down hill just cause I can perform, then I'll do it. There'd be nothing better than seeing his ego pop like a balloon." A devilish grin appeared on her face.
"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you," Mimi said happily, "Come on. We'll go over everything real quick. But since you've performed before when you were in Hong Kong, you shouldn't have a problem. I'm just so glad you're willing to help me. Even if it is to show Matt up-" she quickly turned toward Matt "-No offense, Matt." She began to pull Jade aside.
"You think I'm cute?" Matt asked Jade as she headed off with Mimi. Jade just rolled her eyes saying, "In your dreams." Matt turned to Tenga, "She's performed before?"
Tenga nodded, "Yeah. You didn't know? Jade used to perform solo as a young girl when she was still living in Hong Kong. She told Mimi and me that when she was at one of our practices."
"I guess you could kiss your popularity good-bye now," one of Matt's band members teased.
*****************
Tai couldn't keep his eyes off of Sora. I could stare at her all day, he thought to himself as he took in everything he saw. With the help of Mimi, Sora had succeeded in finding herself a knee-length, back-less dress that was covered in front up to her neck with two thin spaghetti straps crossing in the back. And, though she was being stubborn, Mimi had finally succeeded pulled Sora's hair up into a French Twist and added only a light splash of make up to light up her already naturally beautiful complexion.
As Tai watched Sora walking next to him toward the school gym, he was mentally thanking Mimi for making his date look all the more lovelier. Sora felt a little uncomfortable in a dress and make-up, but she was also enjoying all the attention she was getting from Tai. She just smiled and they both entered the building, arms linked.
*********
Yolei walked into the gym beside TK and Kari with Kit trailing not too far behind them. Or so they thought. Yolei smiled at the music playing. Matt had just finished the very first song of the evening and was leaving the stage with his band as the DJ, who was standing by, began to play music.
"Let's go sit in that corner table over there," Kari said craning her neck trying to spot Tai so she wouldn't run into him. She had purposely waited at least thirty minutes for Tai to leave so that Tai wouldn't see her dress and freak out. She wanted to be able to at least live to go to her first prom. TK nodded at Kari's suggestion and they both walked off. Yolei shrugged and turned to look for Kit who had mysteriously disappeared. Instead she stood facing Davis who walked in looking glum.
"I'm not going to bother Kari," Davis assured Yolei, "I'm just here to be here." He took one quick glance over at the couple who had just walked off and sighed sadly.
"Aw, Davis," Yolei put a hand on his shoulder, "Don't take it that hard. There'll be others."
"But none like Kari," Davis said sadly. He tugged on the tie around his neck, "I'll just sit around and not bother her. I just wanted to see how she looked tonight." He walked away.
(A/N: Can you say, "Poor Davis."?) :(
Yolei felt bad for Davis. He's really not that bad of a person, Yolei thought, He just never got the clue. That's all.
And I hope he's not too bullheaded to get this clue, Yolei said as she noticed a young girl approach him. Yolei had seen this girl before. Her name was Serena and she had hinted to going to prom with Davis a couple times, but Davis seemed oblivious to it. All he could think of was Kari and TK going to prom together. It was a miracle that Serena still wanted to be Davis's prom date.
Yolei smiled when she saw Davis nod to the girl's request for a slow dance. Maybe he's not that bull-headed after all.
"Now," Yolei said to herself turning to step back outside, "Where is that girl?" She looked around trying to find sight of Kit.
********
"Come on, Izzy," Joany pulled Izzy out onto the dance floor, "The Electric Slide. You know how to do the Electric Slide."
(A/N: Yeah, yeah- the Electric Slide. Kinda corny, but they really did play that song during my prom. And I danced to it, since I know the Electric Slide. I'm just glad they didn't play the Macarena. No offense to Macarena lovers.)
"I really don't-" Izzy was yanked out before he could protest anymore. He stood there feeling awkward as he watched the big group of people do the Electric Slide. He looked at Joany, "I'm just going to get myself something to drink."
She laughed and nodded at the silly boy. Izzy walked away, but stopped in his tracks when he saw something he didn't believe himself. There, at the entrance to the gym stood the most beautiful sight he'd seen all night. It was Yolei in her violet shimmering dress. Her hair was pulled up with loose strands hanging in her face.
He held his breath. She was so beautiful. Izzy was captivated by Yolei. He felt like the prince when he saw Cinderella walk into the ballroom. But all was gone when she turned and walked out of the gym looking for someone. Probably her date, Izzy thought. He sighed sadly and continued toward the refreshment table.
Why didn't I ask her first? Why didn't I just say yes to her? Izzy began to beat himself up again.
From the dance floor, Joany had seen Yolei by the gym entrance and then saw Izzy's sudden saddened expression and began to mentally scold herself again. She shook her head though, He's here with me now. That's all that matters. Right?
*********
Kit made a beeline for Jade's car. I'll just have to hide out there until the night is over, she thought, There is no way they are getting me to walk in there. I am not going to be caught dead-
It being dark outside and Kit only concentrating on getting to Jade's car, she ran right into someone and began to fall back as she lost balance on her heels. A strong pair of arms reached out and grabbed her. Arghh! she thought, I said I didn't want heels. But no... Nobody ever listens to me.
"Hey," a familiar voice said, "You alright?"
Great! Kit kept her head down. She recognized the voice immediately, Just what I need. More people to recognize me. My reputation, as we know it, is all going down the drain. I'm never going to hear the end of it. Just don't look up.
Ken looked down at the girl. To him, she looked vaguely familiar. But he couldn't guess who it was. She was staring at the ground and seemed to refuse to look up at him.
"I'm fine. Thanks," Kit said softly, "Gotta go." She brushed past him, but again tripped over herself in those darn heels. I hate these heels!
Ken whipped his arm out quickly and grabbed her before she fell flat on her face pulling her right into his embrace.
"Thanks," Kit smiled at him.
"Kit?" Ken asked. He took a closer look at her, "It is you. I almost didn't recognize you."
"Kit, who's Kit?," Kit smiled hoping that Ken would think he had mistaken her for someone else.
"I know it's you," Ken said.
"Uh, yeah," Kit sighed nodding, "Don't worry, I didn't recognize myself either." She looked down at his arms wrapped around her, "Um, you can let go now. Since I'm standing still I won't exactly topple over. It's when I'm moving that I'm accident prone."
"Sorry," Ken said immediately dropping his hands, "Where are you going?"
"To find a hole and hide in it," Kit said, "If people see me in this, my reputation is ruined."
"I think you look very stunning tonight," Ken said. He looked at her and smiled. Mimi and Jade had both forced her into a silver flowing dress that was floor length, sleeve-less and low back.
Kit smiled, "Why thank you." She enjoyed the compliment, but in almost a split second, her face became serious, "Now I'm leaving. I have a reserved hole out in the the parking lot to hide in."
"You don't take compliments very well do you?" Ken said not expecting an answer, "Why leave, though? You've still got the rest of the night ahead of you. Come on. You can be my date." He held his hand out, "I wouldn't want you to fall again."
Kit smiled at the gentleman. Hesitantly, she nodded, "Okay." She took his hand and headed back inside with him. Why not? she thought, Cute guy just asked me to be his date. Whoa! Did I just say he was cute? I didn't say it out loud. Good. Maybe this prom thing won't be as bad as I thought. At least it's dark inside. No one will notice it's me. I hope.
***********
Unsuccessfully, Yolei had not found Kit. She sighed as she sat next to Kari at the table they picked. Jade had disappeared on her, Kari was with TK and now Kit decides to disappear. She was definitely by herself tonight. She sighed. Could it get any worse? she asked herself. As if in a movie, right on cue, she saw a tall, handsome red-head, who happened to be looking very, very cute in a tux, standing by the refreshment table. Then she saw a brown headed girl run up to him after the Electric Slide stopped playing. At that point, Yolei felt like crawling under the table and staying there for the rest of the night.
She held back tears as she watched Joany pull Izzy toward the dance floor for their very first slow dance that evening.
Kari stood up and saw the same thing. She looked down at Yolei who now had her head on the table. She didn't want to leave Yolei here like that, but she also wanted to slow dance with TK. Besides, wasn't that what she was here for?
Yolei looked up at Kari and smiled, "Go. You came here to have fun. Not watch me."
Kari didn't budge. She was still skeptical. Yolei looked at her, "Go. You know you want to." She teased her friend. Kari blushed and nodded and looked at her breath-takingly handsome date, then headed out to the dance floor with TK, but not after Yolei pulled on her arm and said, "Please don't say anything to, uh-" she glanced at Izzy out on the dance floor, then at TK, then back to Kari. None of the guys knew about her crush "-um-"
"Say no more," Kari said, "I won't say anything." Yolei nodded and mouthed a thanks. TK looked at Kari confused, but decided not to ask when Kari shook her head.
"They're a little too close," Tai said as he and Sora neared the dance floor. It was then that Tai noticed what his baby sister was wearing. His jaw almost dropped. A strapless dress. It was a strapless. Nothing covering the shoulders whatsoever. TK's dead, Tai thought, even though all TK was doing was slow dancing with Kari in his arms. As he attempted to stomp his way over to the two, Sora placed a hand on his shoulder to stop him.
"You can talk to her later," Sora pulled him around to face her.
"You knew about that piece of cloth my baby sister was going to wear tonight?!" Tai exclaimed.
"Tai," Sora shook her head, "It looks very elegant on her. It's not just a piece of cloth. Mimi picked it out. Don't you trust Mimi's taste in fashion?"
"Not when she puts something like that on my sister!" Tai again attempted to interrupt the cute couple swaying slowly to the song, when an unexpected strong pair of arms pulled him around for the second time.
"You didn't say anything about my dress being too showy," Sora almost exclaimed.
"I, uh-" Tai was speechless. That's different, Tai thought wondering whether or not it would be wise to say his thoughts aloud, You're not my baby sister with some other guy. But he knew she was right. He did, however, attempt an, "You're dress isn't that showy. At least it has straps."
She wrapped her arms around his neck and looked him in the eye. "Shut up, Tai," Sora pleaded with him, "It's prom night. Let her have some fun for once." Tai suddenly forgot all about Kari and TK as he stared into those beautiful ruby eyes. He was feeling like he was in heaven right now.
Sora too smiled softly. She hadn't planned on being the one to make the first move, but she had to find a way to avert Tai's attention from Kari and TK so that they could have their first dance in peace without any bloodshed. And she found that making the move first, wasn't that bad of an idea. She smiled and laid her head on Tai's shoulder. Something she had wanted to do for the longest time. Tai held her closer to him, loving every moment.
"Would you like to dance?" Ken asked Kit as they entered the gym during the middle of a slow song.
"I don't dance," Kit said quickly.
"Well," Ken said, "You don't wear dresses or go to dances either, but here you are."
"Don't push it, Ichijouji," Kit said unenthusiastically as the song ended, "Oh, song ended. Can't dance now." She smiled victoriously and looked around for her friends.
Ken shook his head at the silly girl and smiled. This seemed to be a completely different side of Kit he was seeing. Besides her stubbornness and her cute personality, she seemed so different tonight. Like an innocent little child. He smiled.
The DJ's voice boomed loudly, "And now, our next group performing, students from our very own Odaiba High, let's hear it for Mimi Tachikawa, Tenga Sasuni, and Jade Li." With that said, three girls ascended the stage built for the night while students cheered for Mimi.
Yolei's head shot up. So that's where J went, she thought, Great, Mimi and J are performing. Sora's with Tai. Kari's with TK and Kit- Yolei took one quick glance around the gym- has bailed on me. Where could she have-? Her eyes landed on her younger friend as she walked in the door accompanied by- Ken? Great! Everybody's got a date but me! Yolei sighed sadly, but smiled at the sight of Ken and Kit walking into the gym, arms linked like a couple. I wonder how she managed that. She smiled.
"Come on, Yolei!" Kari practically ran over and grabbed Yolei's hand, "If you're not going to slow dance, you're at least going to boogey down to the fast music. Especially since J and Mimi are singing. Mimi said that she wrote this song herself." Reluctantly, Yolei let herself be pulled out onto the dance floor.
(A/N: I'm no good with music, so don't expect any lyrics for a good made up song. I'm not even going to attempt to try.)
About an hour of prom had gone by with two more hours to go. The Teenage Wolves were performing again.
Yolei had decided to completely let herself go and have fun for the night. With Kari and a couple other friends she found, she danced to every fast song that was played. When a slow song came around, she sat down with Kit and watched everyone else dance. It wasn't that she didn't have a choice. Ken had offered to dance with her; TK had offered and even Davis and Matt offered her a dance. (Tai was stuck in fantasy land with Sora.) Yolei just turned them all down, because the one person she was hoping would ask her to dance, didn't even seem to care.
"May I have your attention please," Matt spoke after he finished another song, "I'd like to make a special request to have all but the seniors clear off of the dance floor. Could I have all of you do that please?" As he spoke, his band played softly in the background the beginning of their next song.
"This next song," Matt said as the students began to walk off of the dance floor leaving the group of seniors, "is dedicated to my fellow Odaiba High Seniors. We'll be leaving high school soon now. And I know nobody really wants to leave. We've all had fun these past couple years, but soon, we'll be moving on. To the seniors!" He strummed his guitar and began to play a memorial song while the seniors swayed to the music.
(A/N: Okay, that was a corny little speech, but I had Matt say something along the lines of what the DJ at my prom said to the seniors. And again, I'm no good with music and/or the lyrics, so I won't be writing any lyrics to any made up song.)
Tai and Sora smiled at each other as they slow danced in each other's arms.
Soon, a small circle was formed on the dance floor as all the seniors linked arms and swayed to the music. Matt also joined the group, being the only senior of The Teenage Wolves. He linked his arm to Jade's who had hers linked to Tai's, who had his linked to Sora's.
Kari, TK, Yolei, Kit, Ken, Davis, Mimi and Serena stood together smiling at their friends. Izzy stood aside with Joany also smiling at the group of all his friends. But his eyes slowly drifted over toward Yolei. He had wanted to ask her to dance all night, but he didn't know how she or her date would react.
Where is her date? Izzy thought, Is it Ken? Cause it can't be Davis or TK. TK's with Kari. And Yolei would never come as Davis's date. And it looks like Davis has found himself a date of his own. Is it Ken? But it looks like Ken's with Kit.
"Hey," Joany said, "Izzy. I'm gonna go to the lady's room real quick. I'll be back in five." Izzy nodded.
"To all the seniors of Odaiba High!" Matt called out from his position back on stage.
"The seniors of Odaiba High!" the group of students called out along with a couple whoops and cheers.
Matt turned around and nodded to the DJ indicating that The Teenage Wolves would be exiting the stage for a while. The DJ immediately popped in the next song and it played.
Yolei had found she couldn't keep her mind off of Izzy the whole night. As Matt's band began to end their song, Yolei took a deep breath, "It's now or never," and made her way over to Izzy who was only standing a couple feet away from her and was now Joany free.
"Yolei?" Izzy said also heading toward her with the same thought. Don't care if she has a date. Ask her to dance. It's just a dance.
"Izzy?" Yolei said pulling all the courage she had in her...
"Would you like to dance?" they both asked at the same time. It was then that the first couple words of the next song began playing.
Just my luck, Yolei thought. It was Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You."
They both nodded in response to each other's question.
Yolei let out a breath of relaxation and the two walked on the dance floor. She put her arms around his neck while he placed his around her waist. Yolei's eyes widened when Izzy pulled her closer than she expected. You're supposed to dance close when you're slow dancing, Yolei assured herself. She pulled herself closer and almost put her head on Izzy's shoulder, but forced herself to refrain from doing so. Instead, she looked away and tried her best not to make eye contact. It felt so good to be in Izzy's arms.
"Kit," Ken held his hand out. Kit looked at it and racked her brain trying to find the hundredth excuse not to dance. It wasn't that she didn't want to dance with Ken. He had been so sweet all evening. She just didn't like to slow dance at all. Period.
"Come on, girl," Matt elbowed his young friend, "I saw you turn down a lot of guys already. Are you waiting for a certain guy to ask you?" He then smirked, "Would this certain guy happen to be-?"
Jade cut him off, "You touch my cousin and I will make sure you never touch any other girl again." She poked a finger in his face.
"Whoa!" Matt held his hands up and backed away, "I was only kidding." He smirked, then held his hand out, "Come on. Let's dance."
Jade gave him a suspicious look.
"Well, who else are you going to dance with?" Matt asked.
"Are you implying that I have no other choices?" Jade asked glaring at him.
"No," Matt said exasperated, "I'm trying to be nice here." He stood waiting, "Would you like to dance with me?"
Jade gave him another suspicious look, but smiled and nodded, "Alright. But try anything funny, Ishida, and the next place you'll be going to is the hospital." They both walked off and stood on the dance floor next to other couples who were dancing: Tai and Sora (big surprise), TK and Kari (did I even have to mention that?), Mimi and Michael (just thought it'd be nice; *hides from Mimato fans* please don't hurt me {insert names of Mimato fans and authors here}) and Davis and Serena (why not?).
"Kit?" Ken asked again.
Kit made a face and then sighed, "I'm never going to win."
"Well," Ken said, "We don't have to dance."
"Nah," Kit said, "Might as well. I'll dance with you for being my date tonight and making me come back in here. I'm actually having fun. But don't tell anybody that." She glanced around wondering how much her friends were going to tease her.
"Yolei?" Izzy said as the two continued to dance.
"Huh?" Yolei shifted her arms, and felt Izzy's arms tighten around her waist. She too pulled herself closer and almost sighed happily at the feeling of her body pressed up against his. It was the best feeling she had felt for the longest time and she hoped that it wouldn't end.
"You enjoying yourself tonight?" Izzy asked. He slapped himself mentally. That wasn't what he had wanted to say. He had wanted to tell her exactly what he was feeling inside right now. He just wanted to look her in her eye and tell her his feelings for her. He wanted to-
Yolei nodded, "I guess. You?"
Izzy nodded as if Yolei could see him. The whole time, Yolei had been looking away. He breathed in the sweet smell from Yolei's hair. He almost shuddered at the feelings that were rushing through him at the moment.
Yolei shifted her arms again. She was enjoying every second of this dance. She knew it wouldn't last very long, but she was just glad about it at this very moment. She sighed and, caught up in the moment, she unwittingly laid her head on Izzy's shoulder as she pulled even closer to him. Izzy tightened his arms around her waist more. Right now, they were standing so close that it seemed they couldn't be any closer. He smiled at her and how she made him feel.
The song was nearing it's end and Yolei began to realize that. Her heart sank, but she was caught off guard by Izzy's hand on her face. She held her breath. Izzy gently pulled her face toward his so he could look at her.
Izzy also noticed that the song was coming to an end and he too was lost in the moment as he danced with Yolei. Acting on his heart's command, he moved his hand under Yolei's chin and tilted it upward and looked deep into Yolei's eyes. At that point, he didn't care about anyone else in the gym. He didn't care that he had come with Joany. He didn't care that Yolei had a date; if she had a date. He just wanted to be there with Yolei, the girl he realized he was in love with.
Slowly, their faces both began to move together. Yolei's heart began to beat faster. She closed her eyes as she felt Izzy's breath on her face. Their lips slightly grazed over each others...
They were in eternal bliss now as they shared their very first passionate kiss. A kiss that both had wanted so badly for the longest time. It wasn't just any kiss... It was special... It was their first kiss... A kiss that it seemed no words could describe...
Both were lost in their slow dance; lost in each other's arms; lost in their first kiss; and lost in the moment.
Okay, maybe I didn't end off this chapter very well. I didn't know how. I began running out of ideas. I know I said that this was based on my prom, but I also said that only some of this happened to me. I have never ever kissed a boy in my whole life. (Pathetic, huh?) And so, it's not too shocking to say that I didn't even get my first kiss at my high school prom. Besides, I'm the one who asked him to dance. He didn't want to. But he didn't turn me down, cause I'm his friend and he's a really nice guy. Don't I feel special. But anyways, I wanted to give Yolei a happy outcome.
It was either that, or have all the Kouyako fans kill me on top of all the Mimato fans who want me dead right now.
If you'd like to end the story right here, just tell me in your review. I have an optional ending that I wrote with it cause I couldn't stop writing, but I don't know whether or not it'd be a good idea to add it on. I don't know whether this chapter had a good enough ending, or whether I should just post my last part and be done with it. You decide. I did end this part off a little too soon and not very good.
And yes, I know a bit more Taiora would be nice. I'm going to write a Taiora soon. This one had some, and I wish I could've added more, but I wanted to focus on the Kouyako, which I now realize there isn't very much of. *hangs head sheepishly* And I will try to write a Mimato to make up for lack of Mimato in this fic.
Please review. Thanx.
