Cako hurt me feelings (reviewer) I know Yamato is acting a bit outta
line.but.*sniff sniff* Ach, ok in later chapters you will learn why he's
acting so coldly to the world.
Chapter 3
Yamato.that name suited him well. It was a strong name. Something you could base a foundation on. And the fact that he was so wild, so.un- Taichi-like.it just blew her mind. And the fact that he could probably just sweep her off her feet without even knowing it.it was something to be nervous about. Nervousness about a guy.she had never felt that way about a guy. Never, it was usually her being confident and smooth talking, and the whole weaving a guy with the twist of her fingers.
"So, do you remember me, Miko?," Yamato whispered in her ears.
It was sort of romatic, him whispering sweet nothings in her ears. But then she realized that he was acting like he knew her, in some sense.Miko, no one had ever called her Miko ever since she was a little girl. How ever did this strange man know about her past?
Yamato laughed as if he knew that she would forget him. "You don't remember a thing, do you?"
*Flashback*
A seven-year-old Mimi Tachikawa was running around the sandy playground with her best friend in the world, Sora. They were building sandcastles that looked more like mounds of sand that were slowly washed away by the mysterious blue sea. "Miko, time to put on some more sunscreen, dear!" Her mother called.
It was true, Mimi was becoming a red lobster fully cooked with her cute little pink bikini-esque suit. Mimi only pouted towards her mother, and trodded towards the ocean to gather some more water. Mischievously, she thought up a plan. Mimi would dump the water on Sora.
It was a tad bit mean, sure, but what can you expect from an innocent seven-year-old? She slowly crept upon Sora's back as Mimi quickly threw the pail of water on Sora. Sora let out a satisfying loud squeal for everyone on the beach to hear. Mimi only started laughing out loud, and soon, Sora laughed, too.
"Hey, Mimi, did you ever kiss anyone, I mean, like a boy?" Sora said in a very haughty tone.
"Ewwww! No. They are so yucky. I hear you get cooties from them! And I mean other diseases and um, I forget." Mimi said in a squeakish voice.
Sora looked down upon Mimi and said, "Well, I have, and I don't think they really have cooties!.I hope.Oh my gosh! There goes that guy!"
Mimi squinted in the hot, summer sun. She could only make out a gangly boy of about 10 wearing baby blue shorts that matched his eyes. She started to think he was cute, but a bit boring. Exactly Sora's type.
They went home on that fateful day where Mimi realized she lost her precious necklace that was given to her by her grandmother. It was pure silver with matching silver heart charm. It was the most precious thing given to Mimi at the time. At night, she kept on rubbing her neck as if it was a habit. She fretted for her necklace. What if the little green men under her bed took it away? Then where would that little piece of grandma go?
Mimi remembered how her grandmother told her about the story of the two matching necklaces, one for a boy (with cooties) and one for a girl. There was only one set of every kind. Her grandmother had lost the matching key a long time ago. Her grandmother also said that if one could find the key to the heart, one would gain eternal happiness.
Being young at the time, Mimi did not know what her grandmother meant. But it was something that had struck her throughout the ages. At that age, she just fretted about losing the gosh-darned thing. She didn't want to lose it as her grandmother had already died the year 2 months before her 10th birthday. Her mother wanted her to be happy, instead of sad, so her mother took her to a beach, and rented a posh house for the entire summer.
The next day was a cloudy, rainy day, yet Sora and Mimi traveled out to the beach anyways. They were soaked from their head to their toes. But they had fun anyways, they built summer angels in the sand. After a while, Taichi joined them. Mimi thought that it was disgusting how Taichi was acting all googly-eyed at Sora, and she was grossed out. Later, they saw a boy with white-gold hair peering upon them by a magnificent beech tree. Sora and Taichi was all up for discovering who the mysterious boy was, but.Mimi found herself shy at the prospect.
"Come on, Mimi! I mean it's a guy. Oh, no, don't tell me you're still in the cootie stage!" exclaimed Taichi.
Mimi got rather annoyed as he said that. She crinkled her eyes, and creased her forehead. Of course she wasn't. But she could see the glint in the boy's eyes. He had deep sea blue eyes, which called to her like the sea. He looked sad, yet determined about something. Mimi was young, she didn't understand why he was spying on her friend and her friend's acquaintance. It was strange, meeting someone for the first time. Heck, you could even call it love at first sight.
But what do we know? After all, the saying around here is that no one can fall in love at first sight. It was a myth unknown to most people. Love, that elusive word, bestowed on a seven-year-old. It seemed impossible. Yet it was, cupid's long bow with a silver arrow, shot into the heart of a young child. Yet would the arrow of lead be bestowed on the young man?
The boy seemed tense, yet after a while, he scrunched his shoulders as in defiance, and he started walking towards the trio. Mimi seemed nonchalant, as she continued making her sandcastle in the pouring rain. The young blond boy walked up to her and held his hand out. He held her silver heart charm necklace. Mimi felt overcome by joy and happiness.
"Thank you so, so very much! I have been looking for this everywhere!" Mimi said happily.
The blond boy said, "Oh, it's no problem, it was on the ground. And I was watching you play when I noticed you dropped it. Well, I should go, I shouldn't mess with your playtime."
"No, no! You can stay, rite, Tai and Sora?"
They both glanced at the boy up and down, trying to size him up. "Whatever." They replied in unison.
During that summer, the quartet had the most fantastic adventures. They also got into a lot of scrapes and sorrows, but they had each other to lean on. However, the fun had to end someday.
Sora was the first to go out of the bunch, leaving Yamato, Mimi, and Sora alone. Then, it was Yamato's turn.
At night, there was a loud rapping at her balcony window. Mimi rubbed her eyes, as she had been woken up by that noise. She walked towards her window, and looked down. To her amazement, it was Yamato in the courtyard. "What is it," Mimi asked in her little innocent voice.
"I'm going away. My parents are making me go home..this very night," Yamato said in a regretful voice.
"But, how am I going to remember you?" Mimi asked sort of in thought and in question.
"Um, well, wait a sec!"
Then out of nowhere, Yamato decided that he was going to climb up the balcony. He did so, half perching on the balcony, half clutching in mortal danger. Mimi said in a trembling voice, "Um, come here quick before I fall to the ground."
Mimi walked hesitantly, watching in amusement as Yamato was trying to balance himself from falling. (Aren't nine-year-olds so sweet and innocent?) She approached him with her caramel eyes and just stared right at him. Suddenly, Yamato kissed her gently on the lips and blushed. Mimi opened her eyes in shock and blushed a deep rose color also.
"Yoohoo! Yamato! We have to get going now!"
Yamato stared at Mimi for a couple more seconds before he climbed down and ran towards his family.
