Author's note: This is the semi-sequel to Weekend Rain. The title was kind of a hint, don't ya think? Anyways. Yuri. Mira/Somi. Yaoi. Taito/Yamachi. Can't really classify it beyond that. This will probably be as long as WR, because I'm starting during the pre-Taito/Sorato timeline, as in: Pre-Weekend Rain, about one week before the other starts. For story purposes, Mimi is back in Japan, living with her father, and still wearing pink.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything with the Digimon trademark symbol, I only use the characters for my personal enjoyment.
Warning: Yuri, which are two girls getting it on. (Not quite, but whatever.) I'm hoping that this will be as good as WR, but I make no promises.

With a sigh, Sora shut her locker, and turned with a forced smile to talk to one of her 'friends'. After answering the predictable and annoying questions about her 'boyfriend', the fangirl turned and rejoined her club of Yamato-obsessed, hormonal teens. With a smile, she noticed that there were three boys now within in the group, though the girls didn't seem to mind.
*I wonder if Matt's seen that, yet?* The curve to her lips became curved again, and she turned to leave. A voice caught her attention, and she turned with a sincere grin at Mimi, who was approaching her as fast as four inch heels would allow. Pink heels, pink leather mini-skirt, pink shirt.
"Sora! Oh, my god! You will never, ever, ever guess!" Her hair this week was back to strawberry blonde. The natural shade, not the pink dyed wreck she attempted every three months. No matter how many times Sora tried to talk her out of it, she always went back to the dye bottle. Probably because everytime she did it, the guys clamored over, and flirted constantly.
*It's a good thing she doesn't know about the bet to find out if she dyes everything. Top and bottom.* She pushed that thought aside. She didn't want to be angry, not with her friend so euphoric.
"What's new?" She tried to inject enthusiasm in her voice, and she seemed to succeed, because the other girl launched into a full-scale description of how the captain of the basketball team had asked her out, and how he had practically begged.
"He was so adorable, on his knees, looking up with this puppy-dog expression. I couldn't resist!" Sora didn't doubt that for a second. Only fate had saved Mimi from finding out the hard way that guys were creeps. That, and Sora made sure that Tai threatend anyone that went out with Mimi that if they tried anything with her, or pushed her into anything, he'd beat the living tar out of them.
"When's the date?" Mimi linked her arm through hers, and started pulling her towards her initial goal, the exit.
"Tomorrow. We're going to the Saturday premier of that new movie." That explained so much.
"Which one?" The sunshine outside was beautiful. Perfect Friday weather. While Mimi chattered on about plots and characters, and actors, Sora thought of what she knew of her date.
Chris Tagami, captain of the basketball team, a senior, good-looking. His grades were okay, nothing special. Popular, and rich.
He was also a no-good, two-timing, playing son-of-a-bitch who wouldn't scare easily. Tai wouldn't do her any good, because she doubted that Tagami would care about someone who wasn't on his team, or in his social circles. Add snob, and conceited asshole to list.
At the end of the sidewalk, waiting for her, Matt leaned against his car. Tai was next to him, laughing about something. She watched as she neared them. They were best friends, closer even than Tai and Sora, who had known each other since they were kids.
There was a grin on Matt's face, something that only seemed to appear when Tai was around. His blue eyes regarded the brunette with a soft light, eliminating their usual distance and coldness. The brown that looked back were equally warm.
*And as oblivious* She stopped in her tracks, Mimi still talking at her. Her boyfriend, and their mutual best friend stood fifteen feet in front of her. *Completely in love, and totally clueless*
She wanted to be mad, wanted to rage and scream. It was an injustice. Her boyfriend was gay, and didn't now it. It wasn't fair. It didn't happen, not to the bearer of Love. Not to Sora Takenouchi. He couldn't possibly choose her best friend over her.
"But he hasn't." Mimi's voice intruded on her thoughts, and she turned to look in to expectant blue eyes. The other girl didn't seem to notice her lack of response, or attention. "And I wish he would. It's so hard waiting for him to tell me that he likes me. If he doesn't then it'll be fine, and I can move on, but he avoids the subject like the plague, and refuses to talk to me."
A familiar subject. Jyou, their sexy, blue-haired, older group member. Mimi had been crushing on him since they were eleven, not that Sora could blame him. He was easy on the eyes, and had grown up considerably.
Thinking quickly, she smiled again. "Maybe you should just tell him that you like him. The worst that could happen is that he'll say no. Then you guys will go back to being friends like before. You and I both know that he won't be a jerk about it, if he does say no."
"You're right, of course." Mimi hugged her suddenly, her happiness at brimming point. "Maybe I should break the date with Chris."
That would make that easier, at least. "I think that that's a good idea. You can call Jyou and ask him to the movie." Her squeel nearly deafend Sora, as she ran off to do just that. Leave it to Mimi to be so excited to be breaking a date.
By that time, Matt had noticed her, and was smiling at her in welcome. Tai was still leaning against the car, still shaking his head over his own joke. Her boyfriend approached her, and leaned down to kiss her.
It was a nice kiss, it really was. Like a hundred that they had shared before. This time, however, she noticed the lack of passion behind it. It felt nice, and it was sweet, but it wasn't a great kiss. They had never been able to kiss that way, with the desire to be closer.
*No wonder our relationship as gone nowhere in five years* He didn't seem to notice her distraction, and she knew that he would never suspect that she knew why there was no spark between them. He would never guess the reason on his own.
He turned to Tai to say his goodbye as he held the car door open for her. She got in slowly, waving at her friend quickly. Tai grinned at her, teeth flashing in his familiar grin. She could read the jealousy in his eyes, and the affection that he showered on the both of them.
*So, he does know.* That could make things a little easier. She only had to bring Matt to his senses. Piece of cake, right?

End note: Hopefully, this will recieve at least half the reviews that Weekend Rain did. As you will notice, the Taito in this is a rather large part of the plot.
Also, and this is a serious question, what color are Mimi's eyes? If I don't get an answer, I'm going to assume that they're blue, but I'd like to be as accurate as possible.
