Chapter Four: Blast from the Past
"So, that's what happened." Yamato finished, as he leaned back in his chair. Ken stroked his chin and rocked back and forth, "And that's all you know?" "Did I just studder? Yes. That's all I know. I don't know anything else about that Taichi girl and that other woman."
"Do you remember what she looked like? Or is your mind still not somber enough from you drinking sake last night?" Ken asked.
Matt scratched the back of his head trying to get a mental picture in his mind, "Well, for one thing she was hot and had these nice looking legs, but she had the funkiest hair I ever seen."
"What color was it?"
"Strange it was 'pink' with stars in them. I tell ya, girls do the wildest things to their hair these days. Ken? Earth to Ken. Are you listening to me?" Matt snapped his fingers. Ken came back to reality with a 'huh'. "I said, what's wrong?"
Ken didn't bother saying anything, instead he opened the top right hand drawer in his desk and started to rumage through it. He then pulled out a photo and flashed it at Matt.
"Did--she look like this?" Ken said, his voice a little nervous.
Matt look closely at the photo. It was that girl. Though her hair was a chestnut color with stars in them. She was in a green summer dress and was leaning on a red Ferrai in the picture.
"Yeah. That's her for sure. But--who is she?"
"Mimi Tachikawa." He said, flatly. "She is known for her since of fashion, taste, and style. And she's rich."
"Rich, huh?"
"Is that the only thing that didn't pass through that dense head of yours?"
"Not really. There's something I don't understand. Why do 'you' have a photo of her in your desk?" Yama looked at him, expecting an answer.
Ken sighed, "She wa--I mean. I met her a long time ago. Nothing more."
"Nothing more? Then why--"
"Let's just skip it. So, why don't we going then?" He said, as he made a B-line for the door. Matt looked after him, before getting up and following him.
"What was that all about?
***
"This is the place." Matt said, as they got out of the car. "But, it's a library." Ken said. "No, it's a strip club. Of course, it's a library." Yama said, sarcasticlly. "And a big one at that." They both emerged inside and looked around. The walls were lined with books and tall bookcases. 'Why would a rich girl stay at a library?'
"And I promised myself I would never lay one foot in a library." Yamato said, as they walked down one of the aisles. "Helloooo. Anybody home?"
"Yes. Can I--um help you?" A females voice said from nowhere. "I...uh....almost...got it."
"Uh, yeah, but where are you?"
"Here."
"Here, where?"
"Here, here."
Yamato and Ken looked around and still saw nobody.
"Heads up!"
"What the--" Matt looked up and a 'very' heavy book fell down making contact with his face. He held his nose and mumbled something untelligently. He looked back up and saw Taichi at the top of the ladder. Taichi was laughing the whole time and Ken also surpressed a laugh.
"So, you can dodge a bullet, but not a book." Taichi said, as she climbed down the ladder. She was wearing the dress she was wearing the other night and a blue blazer.
"Nice to see you too." Yama said.
"Say. I don't really know your name."
"Yamato 'Matt' Ishida, but everyone knows me as 'Indy'. And this is a close friend of mine, Ken Ichijouji. " He shook her hand.
"Oh. I'm Girly 'Taichi' Kamiya, but you can call me Taichi." She said. "Thanks, again for saving me and everything. What are you two doing here anyway?"
"Well, I guess we came to see that girl with the pink hair." Matt said.
"Oh, you mean Miss Mimi. She was around here somewhere. I better ask Jyou." She said, as she started towards the other side of the library. Ken tensed up a bit. Yama then tapped him on his shoulder. "Ken what's wrong? Why so quiet?"
"Nothing." He shook his head.
Taichi ran up to a long desk and leaned over the side. She then took a deep breath, "Jyou-sama!" She yelled in a high voice.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! DON'T DO THAT!"
The man put a hand over his heart and started breathing heavily. He then took out a asapma bottle out of his pocket and breathed in and out. He was wearing glasses and had dark blue hair like Ken, though it was in a different style.
"Are you crazy, sneaking up on me like that, Taichi?!? I nearly had an asapma attack!" He yelled.
"Oh, Jyou-sama. You make a fuss over anything," she laughed. "Anyway, this is Yamato Ishida and Ken Ichijouji. You guys this is Jyou Kido. He's like the book keeper and stuff here." Taichi said.
"Ken! Ken's here?!" Jyou said.
"Careful Jyou. You're gonna have another asapma attack." Taichi joked.
"Yeah Ken's here. Do you know him?" Matt asked.
"Well, Ken's a old friend of mine, but I haven't seen him since the--"
*CRASH*
"What was that? And where's Ken?" Matt asked.
"Oh, no. They're at it again." Jyou sighed, as he climbed over the desk and started up the stairs leading to a office door. Muffled voices yelling back at each other could be heard, along with objects being thrown and broken.
"Something tells me Ken found Mimi." Jyou said.
"What's going on?" Taichi and Matt asked.
Jyou sighed, "You'll see. If you value your head, keep your heads down if you still want it attached to your shoulders."
Something crashed against the door as Jyou opened the door. Inside, they saw Ken dodgeing any kind of object that the pink haired woman was throwing.
"Thank goodness, you're here. Nice to see you again Jyou." Ken said, as he ducked his head, before an antique plate made contact with it. "It's somewhat nice, to see you too Mimi."
"You have some nerve coming back here."
"Aren't you glad your prince came back?"
"Oh, excuse me, your highness. Here. Let me crown you! Uug!" She threw a vase that was sitting on a mantel. It barely missed Taichi.
"Mimi! What were you thinking? That was a $10,000 dollar antique vase, it came all the way from america!" Jyou yelled.
"So? I 'can' replace it. Besides, nothings too good for you. Is it Ken? You deserve every bit of it for walking out on me!"
"I feel another asapma attack coming on." Jyou said, as he reached in his pocket.
"I didn't walk on you or anyone!" Ken yelled back.
"Tell it to the judge, Casanova!" She yelled, as she started to pick up a chair, but was held back by Taichi, who tried to restrain her from throwing anything else.
"Miss Mimi, please calm down." Taichi said.
"Okay, you two. Cool your jets. Does some one want to tell me what's going on?" Matt asked.
"I think I can." Jyou stepped forward, adjusting his glasses. "I'll make this short. All three of us use to be very good friends. All except for those two over there. They became much more than friends and well, they soon fell in love. They been together for atleast 6 months, until a small incident occured and they both split up. They haven't seen each other in two years. And that about covers it." Jyou finished.
"Humph!" Ken and Mimi turned there backs.
"So, that's why I you had a picture of her." Matt said.
Mimi turned around to face a faint flushed Ken, "Is that true?"
"Uh......" Ken wasn't really sure what to say.
This was a very tense moment. Taichi then cleared her throat, "Well, what did you two come over here anyway?"
"Well, we're looking for the lost crests and--"
"Lost Crests!?" Mimi faced Yamato. "You know about the lost crests!"
"Yeah. Well, Ken does. He told me all about it. Something about the tweleve destined ones, if I recall." Matt said.
Ken looked her deeply in the eyes, "How do 'you' know about the lost crests?"
Mimi casually fipped back here hair, "If you want to talk, meet me and Taichi at the underground Club at 8'o clock tonight. It's 3 blocks from here. Dress casual. Jyou will wait for you outside. Come along Taichi and someone clean this mess up." She said, as she walked out the door followed by Taichi.
"Should we go, Ken?" Yama looked at him, who still had his eyes fixated on the door that Mimi and Taichi left through.
"Yes. If we are going to find the other crests." Ken sighed.
"Here." Jyou walked over to them and handed them a broom.
"What the hell is this for?" Matt looked at the broom.
"What else, sweeping of course. Just look at this mess you caused Ken. You know how she gets." Jyou lectured.
"Why do have to help?" Matt asked annoyed.
"You, brought him here." Jyou said, as he started to leave. "Oh! And while you're at it, please wash the windows."
Matt's mouth drop as he looked around at room. There were shards plates, glasses, vases, and other antiques that were scattered all over the floor.
"Great."
~A/N: Sorry about that. This chapter was a bit short. I'm still working on this and other fanfics you know. It'll be awhile before the next one is up. Don't flame me for making Taichi a girl. I don't know what I was on when I did that. ^^;; There's nothing wrong with Yaio. Or guy/guy relationships. I support it....just thinking of two guys like Yama and Taichi getting it on just turns me o.....=blush= ^^;; excuse me. I got lost there for a second. I just thought it be fun to make Taichi a girl.~
