"Big trouble, missy," said a very unhappy mother. "You should have known America can't help you." The girl's father walked up to her, glowering down at the younger.

"Don't you touch her!" Taichi yelled out. The man looked at the boy, and smirked. He turned his head, and kicked Miyako with a lot of force, causing her to ram into the ivory tub. Taichi ran up, so he could get her, only to feel himself slam against the door way. Miyako let out a cry of despair.

"Don't even start," he said. The man grabbed her hair, and began to drag her toward the front door. Her screams seemed to have very little affect on him. Suddenly, a very enraged Taichi jumped onto her father's back, putting him into a choke hold. He smiled as the ma's face began to turn purple.

"I told you not to mess with her," the younger said. Mr. Inoue soon fell to the ground, unconscious. Taichi looked menacingly at the mother of Miyako. "How did you find out about us?"

"Easily," she started, "little Hikari didn't answer the phone the second time I called, your mother did. She gave me all the information I needed, including the address to this home." She smirked.

"Your evil," was all Mimi could muster out. She was backed into a wall, her fear coming over her. The woman's smirk grew wider.

"Might be," she said. Miyako spoke up.

"Go away," she said weakly. The woman went up to her, and connected her fist with soft flesh of the young woman's chest cavity. Then, a knee slammed into Mrs. Inoue's mack, causing her to fall, knocked out, atop her husband.

"Let's get them out of here," Hikari said. Mimi nodded. She then looked at Miyako, who was now passed out. "Hey, brother, you take care of Miya, ok?"

"Sure thing," he said, picking her up, and starting toward the guest room, where they slept. The other two dragged the bodies out to the car.

Jyou was ready to land, but they still had almost an hour left on the flight left. He was growing inpatient with the flight taking so long. Fourteen hours sucked. He wondered what was happening.

+++

Taichi sat on the bed, watching the lavender-haired beauty sleep. He moved a lock of hair from her eyes, and he smiled gently. She was much better than Sora any day. She spoke her mind, she was out-going, everything he could ever like in a girl.

He walked into the bathroom, and changed into his sweat pants and black tank top. He than went to raid Mimi's refrigerator. Saving lives did make one hungry.

+++

"Shit!" Mimi said suddenly. Hikari looked at her.

"What?" she quizzed.

"I don't have place for you to sleep," she said.

"What about the couch?"

"Oh yeah! Ok, you can sleep there."

"To the middle of no-where."

+++

Jyou got off the plane, and smiled. He decided to walk to the residence of his good friend.

+++

Mimi and Hikari looked at each other and nodded. They grabbed the father, and tossed him into a cactus. Then the duo dropped the woman into a stream of water. Neither woke, so they sped off toward home.

+++

Miyako groaned as she opened her eyes. She winced as she felt a sharp bolt of painshoot through her back and chest. Everything swam back into her thoughts. She winced. Then she walked into the bathroom.

+++

Jyou walked up just as Mimi and Hikari arrived. The pink hair woman dashed out of the car to hug her close friend. Soon it was Hikari's turn.

"It has been forever!" the child of Light said. Jyou nodded. They walked up the stairs, gibbering about nonsense.

+++

Tai walked in the bedroom, to see Miyako wasn't there. He knocked on the bathroom door, and it opened, showing the woman he was falling for.

"Yes?" she asked.

"Just wanted to know where you were," he told her, looking intensely into her eyes. He decided on one of his ideas. He swooped her into his arms, and carried her to the bed.

+++

The three got to the door, and walked in. Jyou smiled, she had cleaned the place up, a lot. Mimi walked over to the fridge.

"AH! Tai YOU PIG!" she yelled, looking into the empty cooling device. She then stormed into the hallway and into the guest room. She poked her head in, and immediately relaxed. There was Miyako and Taichi, cuddling in the bed, sleeping soundly. She sighed happily, and walked out, leaving the other awake ones to wonder why he mood had changed so suddenly.

+++

Jyou and Hikari had situated themselves on the couch. Hikari was laying on the older, because the couch was too small for them to sleep without touching. Soon, though, they were peacefully asleep.

+++

The sun rose differently in LA than it did in Odaiba. Taichi and Miyako did not see the sun rise lazily, for it was blaring at the other side of the apartment, on Jyou and Hikari. The younger grumbled, getting up. Soon Jyou was up, grumbling incoherently along with her.

"Tai, wake up!" Miyako said in a loud whisper. She tried to shake him, with no luck. Sighing, she lay beside him, taking in his features. His brown hair was everywhere, covering part of his face in a cute way. He had his hand wrapped possessively around her waist, as if to keep her from harm. She almost giggled.

She blinked, and say beautiful chocolate eyes staring at her lovingly. He smiled.

"Morning," he said sleepily.

"Morning," she repeated to him. She realized it was now or never for her. She leaned in, until she was inches apart from his face. Then the lavender haired girl closed her eyes, and brushed her lips with his lightly. His response was positive. He pushed against her, deepening the symbol of love. He happily let in the taste of her lips. Even in the morning they tasted like peppermints. She enjoyed his too. He tasted like the steak he had devoured the night before. They parted due to lack of oxygen. She gave him a smile, packaged with a complementary blush. He did about the same.

+++

Mimi ran back into the den and squealed. *they did it! They kissed!* the other two looked at her in an odd way. She just smiled.

"I'll tell you two later," she said. She walked out, going to the mall.

+++

Michael walked up to the door of Mimi's apartment. He rapped his knuckles against the wood door lightly. Hikari answered the door.

"Hey, What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Long story," she said.

"Is Mi home?"

"Nope, she went to the mall, squealing about something or other, as usual."

"I see, so who is all here?"

"Me, Jyou, Miyako, and Taichi."

"Oh! Tell them 'hi' for me, will ya?"

"Yep! Bye!"

"Bye!" she watched him walk down the stairs, then closed the door.

Ok, I know, it is very weird. Well, I am currently trying to type up chapter five. I must warn you, the rest of the chapter go pretty downhill for the poor newly coupled. Sorry! I had to! Well, until next time!
