Warning: Yaoi. Taito/Hiyako. Daikeru and Daiken referencing:) And: THE VOTES ARE IN! I'm still not giving it away, though.

After school, the team convened at the park in Odaiba, with the exception of Daisuke, who they had yet to see or find. They took up two picnic tables, half on one facing the other half on the opposite table. Takeru, Iori, and Hikari were sitting on the bench, while Tai and Matt, with their arms around each other, sat on the table beside them.
The opposite table held Jyou, Sora, Mimi, Koushiro, and Ken, all sitting on the bench. Miyako was pacing between the two groups, peering at her watch every couple of seconds.
"Miya?" Hikari tried to catch her attention. "Sit down, you're worrying us all."
The purple-haired girl stopped her pacing, and looked at her girlfriend. "He agreed to this meeting, Kari. He should have been here twenty minutes ago!"
"And he's always half an hour late. So, technically, he has ten more minutes." Iori tried to smile at her gently, but she just rolled her eyes and resumed her movements.
The brunette looked down, frowning at is inability to lighten his friends mood. Takeru tapped his shoulder gently and smiled. "He's right, Miyako. Daisuke did agree, and he'll be here, but even you should know better than expect him to be on time."
That earned him a dark look from violet eyes. "And you would know all about his little habits, now wouldn't you, Takeru?" They glared at each other, until Hikari stood up, and wrapped her arms around the taller girl.
"Miya, sit down with me."
"I'm worried. He should have been here already. Nobody saw him in school. What if he did something stupid?" Her purple eyes were near tears, and her breathing was a little hard.
"He wouldn't have." Ken met the questioning gazes that the others sent his way with quiet assurance. "Daisuke's stronger than that."
Mimi glance around at all the dour faces surrounding her, and sighed. "Hey, Miyako, why don't you start without him. He should be here in no time, right? So, you can tell us what's going on, and then he can take over when he arrives."
Beside her, Koushiro nodded in agreement. "We can conserve time, and be ready when he arrives, so that nobody acts in a negative manner. We can prepare for him, and whatever he tells us."
She thought about that, and pulled back from Hikari with a gentle smile. "This is actually the easy part. The hard part is going to be talking to him when you know everything." Eight pair of eyes were steady on her. Ken and Takeru were both studying the ground. "I can only tell this from my point of veiw, so beware, I'm missing some parts."
They all waited, watching her patiently as she resumed her pacing. With a deep sigh, she started, compiling three days worth of discoveries into ten minutes, leaving out the declaration of his love. Then she looked at Takeru.
"I don't know what happened after he left my house, but he ended up with Takeru." The look she gave him was pointed, and he nodded in acknoweledgment that he was to take over.
He stayed where he was, and looked down at his hands, leaning back against the edge of the table. "My mom had to leave early the next day, and I had just said goodbye to her, when Dai slipped outside. I decided to make sure he was okay, by staying with him all day. I told him the same thing. We had breakfast, and walked around all morning, just talking, and laughing. After lunch, we passed Kari's and she called me over to tell me that she had gotten the courage to ask Miya out when Tai and Matt admitted their relationship."
The couples grinned at him from the end of the table. He continued. "I hugged her, and she kissed me, in a friendly manner, because she was so happy, and we're really close. Dai ran off, and I gave chase. We ended up on a side street, and I stopped him." He didn't mention how. "He was crying, and I tried to comfort him, but he pulled away, and we yelled, and then I told him a couple things, and kissed him. It was a huge misunderstanding. He ran again."
Complete silence from the group. They held their collective breaths, uncertain as to how to respond to that.
Finally, Koushiro looked at Ken. "Personally, I'm surprised. I always assumed that if someone would approach him like that, it would be you, simply because of the fact that you guys are so very close."
Some of the others nodded, and the genius blushed, looking away. Takeru looked up, and amethyst eyes met azure. They assessed each other for a moment, while the others sat in silence.
They all wanted to help, but it was hard, because nobody really knew Daisuke that well, except Ken and Miyako, and they'd had their turn to screw things up, in his case, or fix them, in hers.
A beeping broke the stillness, and then was joined by a cacophany of beeps, coming from the D-terminals that they all carried. They all looked at the same message, written on the little screen, and then at each other. Nobody moved, and then Ken and Takeru stood up, and started running together. The others were quick to follow, running towards assorted vehicles, and jumping in.
Miyako looked down at her D-3 as she sat in the back of Tai's car. //Changed meeting site. Come to hospital. Third floor, room 342. DM//
