Notes: Characters are copyright of who they really belong to. Readers, you don't havta like this fanfic, but it'd be nice. I don't know why I keep writing fanfics like this, but I think I'm still bitter about the whole Sora x Yamato thing, mwahaha ^_^;

This story takes place after Sora and Matt marry I guess, but two years after Mimi and Koushirou graduate from college. Actually, Izzy was a child prodigy so graduated early, I guess. I don't know. This is a fanfic. I use a mix of Japanese and American names, cause some of the Japanese names sound better than the American ones. HAHA!

I'm not saying if it's entirely Izzy x Mimi. Or even Sora x Matt. Or anybody.

"Again I Go Unnoticed"

Mimi stood by, sitting in a pew as Sora walked down the aisle. Mimi sighed, slouching, wishing she were in Sora's place. She didn't even know why she came. Mimi knew this would only turn the knife in deeper into her all ready bleeding heart.

Mimi loved Matt...

But why didn't anyone but her know that?

---*~~~*---

The memories were still concrete in her mind.
"Mimi, remember we need to to keep on task on this lastest project." It was Izzy, her clostest friend... her lover. He gave her a job at his popular internet service provider to 'type numbers'. She was greatful to at least be employed, but this wasn't her dream job. Two years fresh out of college, Mimi's parents left her. The last thing she remembers them telling her was to do well and succeed to make them happy.
And to let Matt go because he loved Sora.
"Mimi, do you need a break?" Izzy's voice again.
"Oh.... I'm sorry, Izzy. I was.... just lost in thought." Mimi confessed, sitting up in her chair..
"Why don't you take the rest of the day off." He smiled, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Izzy..." Mimi softly smiled. "Thank you."
"I'll see you back at the apartment." He smiled. "I'll try and come home early so we can eat dinner together, how does that sound?"
"I look forward to it." She smiled. They shared a quick kiss and she took her purse and walked out.

Izzy was very imporant to Mimi. But, she couldn't help but still feel so attached to Matt. Izzy was great and all, but there was something missing between them. There was something missing to Mimi...

And that something was Matt.

---**~~**---

Mimi turned on her sterio, and put in her Good Charlotte CD. She started playing "Can't Go On" as she cooked dinner.
'How could it be easy to forget you when I think about you... all the time?
I'll never know how much I'll miss you because I've never had you... Never Mind.
I'll move on, but I can't go on... without you...'
"OW!" Mimi winced. She accidentally cut herself while chopping up some vegetables.
"Ow?" Izzy walked into the apartment, tossing his keys onto the table near the door.
"Oh!" Mimi turned off the sterio, "Izzy! Welcome home! I'm sorry I'm not done with dinner yet..."
"Mimi, what happened? Did you hurt yourself?" He grabbed her right hand, seeing a light cut running across her right palm. "Be careful when you're cutting vegetables, Mimi."
He led her to the kitchen sink and washed her hand throughly.
"I'm sorry, Izzy." She said softly. He stiffled a laugh.
"Sorry? Why? It was an accident." He smiled. "Accidents happen in the kitchen all the time. Not just in this apartment, either, Mimi."
She nodded.
"Let's order out tonite, all right? How does Tempura sound? That's your favorite right?" Izzy started dialing the phone, and Mimi went back into the kitchen.
"..." She sighed, and threw the wasted, blood-stained vegetables away.

---~~***~~---

Mimi cleaned up the remains of the tempura dinner, and Izzy laid back on the couch.
"Dinner was great." Izzy smiled, staring up at the ceiling.
"Yah... it was good." Mimi said softly.
"Did you get home all right this afternoon?"
"I took the same route, no problem at all." Mimi replied, with the same monotone tone of voice.
"What's wrong, Mimi? You're so depressed and out of it lately."
She walked back into the den, and sat down beside Izzy.
"I think... we should talk." She whispered.
"I don't like the way that sounds. Talk about what, sweetie?" Izzy cleared his throat.
"I care about you a lot. But, I don't think... I can do this." She admitted.
"I love you, Mimi. What do you mean, 'You can't do this.'? What can't you do?" He urged her on.
"I don't think I can... be in a relationship like this. I don't think I--"
Izzy held onto her shoulders and kissed her deeply. She gasped from the sudden move, but didn't push away...
Somehow, Izzy thought, this might make Mimi change her mind... He pleaded that this would make her change her mind...

Izzy didn't want to lose Mimi. Not now. He needed her too much.

Their kissing led to the bedroom.
"Mn.... I--Izzy.... I'm sorry..." Mimi turned away from Izzy, in the midst of their love-making. He stroked her hair lovingly, staring into her deep chocolate brown eyes.
"Mimi.... you don't have to apologize. Is something bothering you?" He rested on his arm, staring at her. "You know you can tell me anything."
".... I can't tell you this." She sighed. He held her hand.
"You know.... you've been somber ever since we went to Sora and Matt's wedding awhile back." Izzy realized. "I think... I know why you're so sad."
"Y--you do?" Mimi looked up at him.
"Are you..... ready to get married?" He blushed, looking down.
"I-Izzy... I... mn..." She looked down at her feet.
"You love Sora?"
"WHAT?" Mimi almost jumped out of her skin. Izzy smiled and laughed.
"No.... you.... had feelings for Matt, didn't you?" Izzy smiled, hiding his pain. Mimi didn't respond. "You still love him, don't you?"
"Izzy...." She sat up, "I... I've cared for Matt ever since we were first transported into the Digital World. But, after I moved, he fell for Sora... and they got married. And now they have children...." Tears rolled down Mimi's face. "And... a--again I go unnoticed...."
Izzy held Mimi tightly to him, "Mimi, I love you."
"Izzy, you don't deserve a stupid, childish brat like me!" Mimi cried.
"I love YOU, Mimi. I always have, and I always will. Nothing will change that." Izzy smiled.

---~~**~~---

"I always have, and I always will."
Those words lingered in Mimi's head all during the next day.
Izzy let her have the next day off, and she decided to spend the next day shopping... or at least window shopping. She stopped at a bridal display in the window of a shop.
'What a beautiful wedding dress...' She sighed. 'Maybe I could buy it for kicks and giggles...'
"HEY! It's MIMI! Of ALL people!" A familiar loud voice called.
She turned around and smiled. "Daisuke. What a surprise..."
"Hey! What are you doing here? Man, I'm so tired, you can't believe what they make you do in those universities, like, they expect you to work, and who wants to work, y'know?" Daisuke rambled on nervously.
Mimi couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Hikari and Takeru were just married in college... It was a joint marriage, which was unusual. Takeru and Hikari were young at the time, but everything was working out great...
Like Mimi, Daisuke lost the one he loved.

Like Mimi...

"Oh... yes, college can do that to you sometimes. It's hard work, but you can do it. You've got motivation." Mimi smiled. "Anyway, if your grades drop, you'll lose your 50 million soccer scholarships..."
"Ugh. Don't mention soccer. I hate it." He sighed. "Hey! What are you doing right now? You wanna go get some ice cream? My treat!"
"Well, all right." Mimi giggled.
The two walked into a near-by Ice Cream parlor, talking up a storm. They both liked to talk a lot... ¬_¬

"Aa!" Daisuke placed down two sundaes. "Two sundaes, all ready to eat! Gosh, this looks so good!"
"Thank you, Daisuke." Mimi smiled, starting to eat. He gulped down his sundae, stopping for the occasional ice cream headache, and ended up ordering three more after that.
"Daisuke... so, how are you doing? Besides from school and all." Mimi said softly.
"Everything's fine." He gulped down the cherry on his sundae. "Wait, wait..." He moved his toungue around, and pulled out the cherry stem with a knot in the middle. "Ta-DA!" He smiled proudly.
Mimi clapped and laughed. "Y'know, I heard that only people who are good kissers are able to do such parlor tricks."
"Well, I am a devious one." He blushed. "Can you do it?"
"Oh... well..." She smiled nervously. She took a stem from her ice cream into her mouth and finished tying it faster than Daisuke did.
"Hey! How'd you do that so fast?" Daisuke looked at her with jealousy in his eyes.
"Oh...well, it's a bit embarassing, but I held the record for it in college. I could do 100 in 5 minutes." She laughed.
"You must be, like, a really great kisser then!" Daisuke blushed.
"Well, I dunno..." Mimi finished the last of her ice cream. "That was great! Thank you, Daisuke."
"Hey Mimi." Daisuke said as they walked out of the Parlor.
"Yah, Daisuke?"
"You'll have to show me some time." He blushed.
"Neh? Show you what?"
"How great of a kisser you are." He laughed nervously.
"Daisuke..." Mimi laughed. "You're such a great person. Can... I ask you something?"
"Anything." He smiled.
"How are you doing, since T.K. and ... well... since that?" She said softly. He looked down at his feet.
"I know you loved Matt, Mimi." He responded.
"I didn't... ask about that." She was surprised. Daisuke knew...?
"Mimi, when... does it stop hurting?" He asked, sighing.
"I... I don't know. Because it still does." She whispered.
"When she left, I thought I'd never get over it. I thought she knew..." He choked.
"I thought he knew my world revolved around him..." She sighed. "Daisuke..."
"Mimi, listen, I've gotten over it. Hikari's married now and she has a kid. I don't have a chance with her anymore. I never did, all right?! I never did!" He cried. "It's not her I was in love with... it was the idea of being in love, but that doesn't matter anymore, because I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life!"
"Daisuke!" Mimi said, shocked, "No!" Without thinking, she pulled him into her arms. "Don't think that... Daisuke..."
"Mimi, Mimi... I'll never... I'll never find anyone to love me..." He sobbed.
"Don't say that, Daisuke." Mimi whispered.
"I'll..."
"Don't say that..."
They kissed.
They let go, looking at each other in surprise.
"Mi--M--"
"Dai--" She stepped back. "I--I have to g-"
"Mimi, wait!" Daisuke grabbed her hand. "Mimi, Mimi!"
"Daisuke..." Her hand slipped, and she ran back to the apartment.
