Of Roses and Bayonets

Part II:
"Can I ask you something?"
A/N: Here's part 2! I even titled it! =) I usually don't title every chapter, but I thought I'd make an exception on this one. Again, if you guys don't like the issue of death or birth or anything like that, then please don't read this. But like I said, it's not that bad anyway, but still... {ahem} Okay, I know I said that the triangle is gonna be put on this part, but I've tried to fit it in, but it got too long! But there IS one part with the triangle though. I'm sorry! This is more of a Mimato in the beginning, but in the end there's a Michi developing (hee hee...). As for dedication (I love doing these), I want to dedicate this to EVERYONE who read the first part & reviewed! Thank you all for the nice comments! There's a little bit of FF7 in this part (just a LITTLE bit; you might not even notice it.). But you don't have to know anything about it in order to understand this, but you'd probably be laughing at the part if you knew though.
DISCLAIMER: As always, I don't own Digimon. And I did not write the proverbs either, but I wrote this story. ^_~ I'm just a fan who loves to write Digimon fics. I don't make any money out of this, so please don't sue me.

I could probably detect her by sensing that same fragrance from the pink rose. But as usual, she didn't reveal herself to me. She had said once that I would find out on my own. I reached through my pocket and took out the pink rose again. I was in a different place this time. I gazed upon the window ahead of me where I could clearly see the sky. The floor was a red carpet, the walls were gray. I searched for the door but found none. I was in a room with no door, with only one window, with gray walls. The only source of light was the one coming from the window courtesy of the sun. And here I was, just sitting on a chair right in the center of the room. Now where am I? I had never been to this place for sure. I got up to my feet but I was surprised to find myself stumbling backwards. Now what... I noticed that my leg was wounded, and I remembered that I was injured during the battle with Kuwagamon. The pink rose dropped on the red carpet and I only stared at it blankly.
"Shit," I cursed. I tried to stand up, but I was still unsuccessful. I noticed that my left leg, which was wrapped in a bandage, had red stains all over it, and I nearly felt sick at the sight of it.
Stay with me, and I'll help you...
"Huh?" I quickly looked around the room, but I was still alone. "Who are you?"
You already know...
"Mimi?" I asked. "Are you really Mimi?"
Matt, I need your help... I'm... I'm...
I could tell that her voice was slowly drifting away, but I knew I just gotta hear her out. "Mimi! Wait! What is it?! What can I do to help you?!" I called out to the empty room.
...Matt please... a... forgotten data... digital... Matt... please!
"Wait a minute! I-I don't understand!" I screamed. "Mimi! Wait!"
Hurry please...
"Mimi!"
~ Omniscient POV ~
"Mimi!" Matt screamed as he sat up on his bed. He looked around and realized that he was in an unfamiliar bedroom. The room was dimly lighted, and there was an open window to his right. Adjacent to it was a brown wooden door. He removed the blanket that was covering his leg, and noticed his injured left leg again. His leg wasn't bleeding, but he could still feel the pain. Why... why do I keep having these weird dreams? Am I the only one? And where am I? Matt asked himself. Knowing that he wouldn't find anything out by just sitting there, he grabbed the crane nearby and slowly rose to his feet. Matt winced in pain as his feet slowly met the ground. He'd managed to stand in a steady position, but he could still feel the excruciating pain through his left leg.
He slowly took a step and he tightened his grip onto the crane even more as he took another. Now I'm walking... great! He thought in satisfaction, a tiny smile forming on his face. His smile faded away when he heard it. Her voice was closer and louder than ever. Am I still dreaming or what?! He asked himself with an irritated look. Matt groaned as he stumbled forward. His hands had slipped from the crane. Stupid...he mumbled. Matt grabbed the crane again and slowly stood on his feet. He heard the voice again, and she was humming the same song in his dream.
"That's her alright! It's Mimi!" Matt said. I got her now, he thought to himself. It took him a long time to have finally reached the door. Outside the room, he met an elongated corridor that seemed so endless, he couldn't even see the end of the corridor. Great where is she? He slowly walked as he carefully listened to her humming voice. "Mimi?" he called out as he approached a door that was slightly ajar. Matt opened the door wide open, and frowned at what he saw. The singing and the music had stopped when he entered the room.
"Matt?" Mimi whispered behind the piano.
"So it was you, Mimi. I knew it." he implied. Matt took a step forward, but he only stumbled on the floor.
Mimi gasped. "Oh Matt!" she ran up to him and bent down. "Matt! Are you okay? Did I wake you?" she asked. Matt winced and gritted his teeth trying to absorb the pain from his left leg. Mimi gasped. "Oh Matt, it-it's bleeding!" she exclaimed with a horrified look.
"I'm okay." He said firmly.
Mimi gave him a sad look. "I'm sorry, Matt... I never should've asked you to carry Tai yesterday..."
"Huh?"
"You collapsed as we were entering the castle," Mimi explained in a low voice. "I'm sorry..."
She cares for me, he thought. Matt straightened the cane and struggled to get up to his feet. Mimi helped him up.
"Now... take it slow... okay? Little by little..." she advised.
"Let me go! I can do it myself!" Matt replied harshly, pushing her hand away.
Mimi had quickly let go, and gave him a nervous glance. She was stunned by his sudden reaction, but she felt sorry for him as he was struggling to even stand up. He was trying too hard. "Matt... I-I was just trying to help..." she gently reminded him.
"I know! But I want to do this on my own!" Matt shot back. Finally, he stood on his feet. He looked at her in satisfaction, but that feeling didn't last when he lost his balance again. Before he could meet the floor below him, Mimi successfully caught him in her arms.
"Matt! Are you okay?" Mimi asked quickly as she held him in her arms.
Matt returned Mimi's worried gaze and reluctantly pulled away from away from her grasps. "I'm sorry..." he whispered. He could feel himself blush, but he didn't care.
Mimi just smiled. "It's okay... I understand," she replied.
"How's Tai?" Matt asked.
Mimi sighed. "He's... well... I-I uh... I'm afraid his condition is still the same."
"Where is he?"
"I'll take you there."
~ Tai ~
Black. Darkness. That was all I could see. Nothing but darkness, and nothing but empty shadows ruled over my vision. Not a single thing in sight. And yet... yet, there was a voice waiting for me. A voice that stood out over the empty darkness. It was her again. And she was calling out my name. She was screaming desperately for help, and I could tell that she was not too far away from me. It was the same voice. The same girl. That same angelic voice that had haunted me earlier.
A fainted red light appeared and I turned to look to where it was coming from. In my hand, I held the sword, or should I call it a dagger instead? It was still soaking wet in this red liquid that was flowing slowly to the black space. I stared at my hand in horror. My hands were still wounded as if somebody just stabbed me. The odd thing was I didn't feel the pain that I should have been feeling. It looked like the cut was just there. The wound was still fresh and I could see deeply inside my flesh. Good thing it was dark that I didn't really see inside.
Wake up, Tai... Wake up. You're the one. You must awaken.
"Mimi! Is that you?"
Tai. You shouldn't just sit there. Wash your hands. Get your clean hands ready. Your friends are waiting for you...
"Please Mimi! At least tell me who you are!"
She didn't answer me this time. I couldn't see in the dark, but I knew she was just an inch away from me. I could feel her presence again. I wanted to see her face, just to see her features... I couldn't handle the suspense any longer. I just had to see her. The light suddenly vanished and once again it was plainly dark and black. The dagger was still in my hand, so I didn't move. I didn't want to stab anybody by accident, especially Mimi.
"Tai?" the voice spoke to me aloud.
"Huh?" I nearly jumped up in alarm. This was the first time she'd tried to communicate with me out loud. "Mimi? Is that you?"
"Yes. Are you afraid?" she asked.
"N-no... of course not," I replied quickly. "Come. Let me see you..."
"Okay... but..." her voice trailed off.
"But what?!" I yelled, which took me by surprise.
"Tai," Mimi said. Her voice was calm as if she didn't mind my yelling. I could feel her coming closer to me. How I wished there was some kind of light. You don't know how badly I wanted to see her. I could hear her footsteps approaching me. There was nothing but silence in this dark world. And I wondered again how I got here. Her footsteps finally stopped as she stood right behind me. I could tell that Mimi was only an inch away from me. She was so close that I could feel her warm breath touching my neck. Her warm breath was ticklish against my sensitive skin. I then felt a hand on my neck. Mimi's touch was cold; the feeling of her bare hand on my neck made me shiver. She then removed her hand from my neck and spoke in a soft voice. "Matt..." she whispered to the wrong ear.
~ Omniscient POV ~
"Matt..." Mimi whispered as she avoided his gaze. "I'm sorry... I did my best to help Tai, but... I don't know what to do with him anymore. He just wouldn't wake up."
Matt and Mimi were standing in front of Tai's bedroom. Mimi opened the door and helped Matt enter Tai's room. Mimi turned on the lights. In the middle of the room was a canopy bed where Tai occupied it. The two both approached Tai's bed. Matt sat on the bed and examined his best friend carefully. Tai was lying there hopelessly. His lower lip was also cut and it was purple. His face was pale and he had bruises all over his body. Mimi sat beside Matt and adjusted Tai's pink blanket.
"Unless we could find the Guardian of Sincerity..." Mimi whispered. "She'd be a great help to us. I'm sure she's the only one who can find a cure for Tai."
"I'll find her," Matt volunteered. "I'll take Gabumon with me."
"B-but Matt!" Mimi said. "I don't want you to. It's too dangerous..."
Matt looked at her for a while. He admired her protectiveness over a stranger like him, but still, she had done enough for them. Her hospitality was good enough for him. There was really something about this girl. There was something very mysterious about her that he couldn't help but wonder. Matt took Mimi's hand. "I'll be fine. Trust me." He assured her.
Mimi placed her eyes on him for the longest time, holding back tears. She had never met anyone who was so caring before. Even if they'd only known each other since yesterday, she felt as if she could really depend on him. She felt as if his friendship was already hers. At the thought of it, she couldn't help but muster a giggle. Matt looked at her with a puzzled look in his face.
"Now did I say something funny?" he asked.
She shook her head as she covered her mouth with her hand. "I-I... I'm sorry... Matt!" she said in between giggles. "I didn't expect that from a 'cool' guy like you. You're just full of surprises..."
He blinked. "Me? Surprises?"
Mimi giggled even more at his reaction. "Oh wow... you're adorable!"
Matt shook his head and shrugged. "I know that. Just don't go ask for my autograph now okay?"
"Who said I want your autograph?" Mimi teased.
Matt opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by a muffled groan made by Tai. He and Mimi turned to look at each other and then back at Tai again.
"Tai?" Matt said.
"Tai... can you hear me?" Mimi said gently. She put a hand on his forehead, but Tai didn't make another move. She removed her hand from his forehead and turned to Matt. "His temperature's gone up. This is bad."
"I got to get to the Guardian of Sincerity right away! There's no time to waste!" Matt exclaimed.
There was a knock on the door and Palmon entered the room. "Mimi? Aren't you guys gonna eat breakfast? Everyone's been waiting for you guys."
"Yeah, but Tai..." she eyed the sleeping Tai with a reluctant look on her face.
"I'll keep an eye on him," Palmon said. "You've been watching him all night. You have to eat something."
"I'll stay too," another voice said from behind the door. Agumon appeared behind Palmon. "He needs me."
"Well, in that case, let's go and eat then, huh Mimi?" Matt asked.
"Call me if he wakes up, all right?" Mimi asked with a hint of desperation in her voice. Matt could have sworn it was the same desperation in his dream.
"Of course," Palmon replied.
"Don't take your eyes off him you guys..." Mimi added.
"Uh, sure," Agumon answered.
"Okay, come on, Matt..." Mimi said offering her arm to him.
Mimi led Matt to the dining room where a bunch of other digimon were hanging out. Matt watched in awe as a frog-like digimon bowed to him in respect. He was carrying this golden horn with him. Mimi giggled at the sight of Matt.
"Well, these are my friends. Those are Gekomon..." Mimi told him.
"Gekomon, huh?" Matt echoed.
"Please to meet you. Princess Mimi told us your story." one of the Gekomon said to him.
Princess?! Matt turned to Mimi who was giving Gekomon a modest look. But then again, I don't even know who she really is. I have to find out sooner or later... she's the only human being in this world.
"I told you to stop calling me that! Mimi is just fine!" Mimi reminded. She turned to Matt with a grin. "Come sit with me, Matt."
Mimi pulled out a chair for him and the two sat across from each other. Most of the Gekomon left the dining area so Mimi and Matt could be alone. Matt examined the whole room. The table was long that could fit twelve people; it was made with a shiny brown wood that was carved in different patterns, giving it an elegant appearance. The walls in the room were also mahogany brown, almost the same color as Mimi's hair. He frowned at the paintings that were hanging on either side of the door. The painting on the left was a picture of a young teenage girl with a shoulder-length brownish hair. She was dressed in black and had white wings on her back. He could clearly see that she was holding a staff in her right hand. The staff was about three feet tall. It looked like it was made out of silver, and on the upper top of it, was a piece of huge pink jewelry shaped like a teardrop. To him, the painting looked so realistic that he almost had thought it was for real. On the right side of the door hung another painting. It was a different girl this time. She had long blonde hair and green eyes that seemed to gleam back as he stared at her picture longer and longer. She too had white wings on her back just like the other girl from the first painting, but only this girl didn't wear black at all. She was wearing all pink, which reminded him of Mimi. Instead of having a staff, this girl was holding a long skinny sword. It was very long; he assumed it was about four feet tall. The sword had this glint on its edge, and Matt could just imagine how deadly that weapon could be. If it were real.
"Hey..." Mimi said.
He quickly turned to her, completely forgetting where he was. "Sorry."
"It's all right," she replied. She passed him a plate of toast. "There you go. Hope you like it..."
"Thanks," he answered as he took the plate from her. He took a bite from his food and stared at nothing in particular.
Mimi took a sip from her glass of juice, but her eyes remained on Matt. He didn't seem to notice her staring at him. She put her glass down and cleared her throat. "So Matt?" Mimi began. "Um... can we talk?"
He looked at her. "Yeah?"
Mimi opened her mouth but nothing came out. She closed her mouth again in embarrassment and quickly avoided his gaze. She had totally forgotten what she had to say. Blushing, she grabbed a piece of bun from the basket that was lying on the table. "Nothing..." she said shyly.
As Matt finished the rest of his drink, he looked at Mimi with a serious look on his face. "Hey, Mimi, can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"Well..." he began. "This whole place... I mean... I've been so confused and lost lately ever since I got here. And... so far, you are the only human that I've met. All we've seen since we got here were a bunch of funny-looking creatures-"
Mimi quickly laughed at what he said. Matt gave her an irritated look, not too pleased for being interrupted. Mimi held her laughter. "Sorry! Please do go on." She said waving a hand.
Matt sighed. "What I'm trying to say is that... this whole digimon stuff is getting on my nerves!"
She nodded as if she understood what he meant. "That's what it is... you're in Digiworld. Matt, can I ask you something? I mean..." her voice trailed off as she stared at her lap, biting her lower lip nervously. She then took out something from her pocket. A shiny pink device identical to his own was revealed on the palm of her hand. "Here."
Matt looked at the device in surprised. "No way! It's another one of those techno junks, eh?"
"It's a digivice," Mimi corrected. "I knew you had one with you. After all, you came from the real world, didn't you? You and Tai were sent here, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"You made Gabumon digivolve," Mimi explained. "That means that you are one of them..."
Digivolve?! What's that mean? Even though this whole thing make my head spin, I could tell that it was Mimi who sent us here. I mean, why else would she know all that stuff she told me now? But who the hell is she? Is she some kind of Princess and she chose us to come to her world or something? Ever since this whole adventure started, I've felt like I'd been trapped in a dream or something...But what about those dreams I keep getting? But then again, what if she too is trapped in this world?
"What about you, Mimi?" Matt asked. "What are you doing here? You're a human being. Why are you in Digiworld?"
"Well... I... uh..." she stammered. Mimi felt her heart pounding, beads of sweat appeared upon her forehead, and she clasped her hand together nervously.
"What are you doing here? And where did you get that digivice?" Matt asked.
She avoided Matt's questioning gaze. "I'm sorry... I talk too much..."
"No! I mean... I wanna know!" Matt replied quickly.
Mimi blinked, her eyes still avoiding his. Matt could see something shiny in her eyes. She sniffed and wiped away her tears. "No... forget it. It's not that important..." she reasoned. "We should worry about your friend, Tai. He's not doing that good..."
"Princess?" Gekomon appeared by the door, holding a tray of salad. "Here's the salad."
"Oh thank you, Gekomon!" Mimi said as she accepted the salad from the green creature. "How's Tai?"
Gekomon looked away from her at her question. "Well... he's mumbling something in his sleep. You may want to take a look at him."
Mimi quickly got up. "Omigosh! Is he waking up?!" she exclaimed.
"He's still asleep, but he was trying to say something-"
Mimi didn't bother to listen to the rest of what Gekomon had to say, but she quickly got up to her seat and ran out of the room.
"Princess Mimi w-wait- uh! H-hey!" Gekomon glared at Matt who had grabbed him from behind. "What did I do?!"
"I need to talk to you about her," Matt said firmly.
"You mean about the Princess?" he asked.
He nodded. "Yes. I need to know more about her."
~ Tai ~
"I'm not Matt." I said to her, loud and clear, just to make sure she would hear. It was still dark and everything was black. I still couldn't see anything, but I could really feel her breathing next to me. I felt her putting her hands around my neck. Her touch was cool, I felt good like that.
"Tai, I'm sorry... I wanted to help you, but I can't reach you." Mimi whispered.
"What do you mean, Mimi?"
"You're so far away," she told me as she released her hands from my neck. "...and I'm far away. I'm just... forgotten..."
I heard her footsteps as she walked slowly in front me. I still couldn't see her face. It was still dark, and I really wanted to see her. Black. Black. Black... that was all I could see.
"Mimi. I really don't understand what you're trying to tell me." I admitted. "Can you start from the beginning?"
She sighed. "Tai, I want to meet you, but you're... you're not listening."
"I am," I said. "But what you're telling me doesn't make any sense at all. I want to help you, but-"
"You can't help me unless I help you first," Mimi cut him off.
"Help me? For what?"
"Your cut..."
"Huh?!" I exclaimed. Then another red fainted light appeared. I blinked as the weak light blinded my eyes. As my eyes adjusted to the light, I could clearly see the dagger again being surrounded by that red light. My hands were still covered in red. Blood. I swear... what the hell was wrong with my hands anyway? It didn't even hurt me! "Why are my hands..."
"I'm sorry, Tai..." Mimi's voice faded away. "I... you have to wake up... but... I can't reach you..."
~ Omniscient POV ~
The door suddenly burst open and Mimi came running in to Tai's bedroom. Palmon and Agumon both turned to look at her in surprised. Mimi ignored them and quickly ran over to Tai's bedside.
"Tai!" she exclaimed, sitting next to his body. She took his hand. "Tai, please wake up!" she shook his body but Tai remained unmoving. Her eyes filled with worry, she turned to Agumon and Palmon. "Guys... what was he saying?"
"That's the weird thing, Mimi," Agumon replied. "But Tai was calling out for your name."
"Mimi, did you know Tai?" Palmon asked.
Mimi blushed and looked away. She eyed the sleeping Tai, and prayed silently for him to get better. "I don't know... I feel like I did though... before... in the past..." she whispered more to herself. She didn't know why she just said that; it just sort of came out of her mouth. But she knew that it wasn't a lie either. Somehow, she had this feeling that she really did know him in the past. They had known each other before... right? But somehow Mimi seemed to have trouble remembering when or how. She felt this strong bond toward him, and she wanted to remain by his side until he wakes up, but... what was this feeling? Mimi turned back to Palmon and Agumon. "Can I be alone with him?"
Agumon and Palmon both looked at each other for a while before they both nodded their heads in agreement. Eventually, Tai and Mimi were alone.
"Tai... you have to wake up. Please..." Mimi pleaded as she squeezed his hand. "I'll sing for you... just wake up! I'd do anything!" Even if she just met him yesterday, she just wanted to see him open his eyes, and look at her. She wanted him to see her, and to hear her voice. "Tai..." she said in a hush tone. Tai. Tai... where did she hear that name before? Taichi. Taichi? Mimi could've sworn she knew that name. Mimi wished she would remember. She took his hand and placed it on her lap, and started humming a soft song for him.
~ Tai ~
"The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials." -Chinese Proverb.
That beautiful music again. It was haunting me... Mimi was close. She was with me again. Her voice echoed to the deserted forest; her voice was so eerie, but calming. I looked around and studied my surroundings. Everything was clear now. The air was foggy, cool, and refreshing. I was in the middle of a flower field, and just ahead of me was a bed of pink roses. And there was this spear-like weapon standing in the middle of it. It was sharp and point, just like a bayonet. The weapon was thin and tall, probably at least about five feet tall. The color was a beautiful shimmering silver. I held the dagger on my bleeding hand. I sighed before I took a step forward.
I'm just forgotten, Tai...
"Mimi?" I called out, but there was nobody around. "Mimi! I-I'm sorry... but I'm here!"
Tai... I... I have this feeling. But... I'm scared, Tai...
"Don't be, Mimi!" I replied. "I'm right here."
You're close all right, but your heart is too far away...
"What are you talking about?"
You're really close... but I'm afraid I can't reach you. Come forward. To the bed of roses.
"Okay!" I replied quickly as I ran forward. "Ouch!" I screamed in shock. I looked down to find sharp thorns piercing through my legs. "What the..." My legs and feet were now bleeding. I turned to look at my wounded hands, but it was no longer bleeding. This whole thing was just way too freaky!
Tai... you're not alone. But I'm alone.
"Mimi!" I yelled, my voice echoing to the whole field. "Mimi! I want to meet you!"
Me too, Tai. Me too.
"So come out! Please!" I pleaded.
I'm sorry, Tai... but... I'm just forgotten, remember?
"I really don't understand..."
The voice didn't answer me this time. The scene suddenly changed and once again I was back to the darkness. Everything was black again. Nothing but darkness... and nothing to see. Then I could hear her singing again. I sat down on the black ground, which I couldn't see. I closed my eyes, but it didn't make a difference for I saw nothing either. I relaxed and listened to Mimi's song.
~ Omniscient POV ~
"There you go, Matt. Are you okay?" Gabumon asked as he released his grip from his arm. Matt sat on the chair. Gekomon and Gabumon stood across from him as Matt put his crane on the empty seat beside him.
"Matt, why did you bring us here?" Gabumon asked.
They were just outside the castle. They were in Mimi's lively garden. Everything was filled with beautiful flowers, most of them were pink. Matt was sitting by a tree and just in front of them was a water fountain. The whole place was just beautiful. He shifted in his seat and took out his silver harmonica. Matt placed the harmonica to his mouth and started playing a tune. Gekomon and Gabumon both watched him in awe. They were impressed by Matt's music abilities that as Matt put his harmonica down, Gabumon and Gekomon had both clapped their hands.
Matt slightly blushed and pocketed his harmonica. "Gekomon, I want to know more about the princess..." he said softly but firmly.
"Uh... Mimi...?" Gekomon stuttered.
"Right. Tell me more about Mimi Tachikawa." Matt demanded.
"Well... she's..." his voice trailed off as he stared at the water fountain. "She's... a... she's... well..."
"What?! Are you gonna talk or what?!" Matt exclaimed impatiently.
Gekomon turned to him. "Do you really want to know?"
"Of course! I want to know! I've been getting all these freakin' weird dreams because of her! I HAVE to know WHO she is!" Matt yelled.
"Calm down, Matt," Gabumon said.
"Let's just say that... she did something... she wasn't supposed to..." Gekomon replied.
"Huh?" Matt said in a lower voice. "What do you mean? What did she do?"
"She didn't mean to though," Gekomon continued. "But-"
"Hold on a minute!" Matt interrupted. "I think it would be better if I ask her myself."
He grabbed his cane and quickly stood up.
"Hey Matt! Where are you going?!" Gabumon asked, following behind him.
"I'm gonna go see her, okay?" he answered.
"At least let me help you," Gabumon said as he held his arm.
Mimi continued her humming as she rubbed her hands gently on Tai's face. Somehow she felt this strong bond towards him, but she didn't know why. She wished she knew. She wanted to know everything more about him. She stopped humming and studied his handsome features. He looked so innocent now as he lied there in silence. Everything about him was perfect. Mimi ran her hands through his brown locks, and shuddered for there was something familiar about it. She removed her hand quickly and stared at him.
"Tai…" she whispered. "Tai, why do I have this feeling like I've met you somewhere before?"
She gasped as Tai moved his lips. Mimi bent over just a little closer to him to hear what he was saying. He was mumbling something, but Mimi couldn't make out what. She moved closer. He mumbled something again, but Mimi still couldn't hear what he was saying. She moved closer again, so close, just an inch away from his face.
"Mimi…" Tai mumbled.
Mimi looked at him face to face. She was still an inch close to him that she could feel his warm breath.
"Mimi!"
Mimi quickly sat up and turned to look. Matt had burst the door open. Behind him stood Gabumon. Matt frowned at her, and gave her a look of disbelief.
"Mimi?" he repeated.
She stood up. "Matt… I…" Oh no. Did he see me like that? I must've looked like I was gonna kiss Tai…
Matt shook his head and turned to leave. "Sorry…" he said before he slammed the door shut behind him.
"Oh Matt! Wait!" Mimi called after him, as she ran to the door.
