And thanks to all who reviewed and came back O_O~!~! Sorry for the little cliffhanger here, I know you're all dying to know what happened to Mimi-san so, here! ^_^
---*---
Masimachii, Satoshii, the Mr. And Mrs. Tachikawa, and the group of Tenshi Tsubasa waited impatiently around the living room area of the Tachikawa residence in hopes of finding out what was wrong with Odaiba' s famous and loved singer Mimi Tachikawa who had been lying helplessly in her room while the doctor examined her.
After Mimi had fallen onto the ground, soaked in the rain, Matt had carried her and rushed to her house where her parents called the doctor. A while later, Masimachii and the rest came hearing what had happened and have been waiting around the room for the past half hour.
Satoshii watched as Masimachii kept pacing back and forth across the room, "Masimachii, relax, would you? Mimi'll be fine, the doctor's here and shall take care of her. Now sit down before you give me a migraine."
"How can I calm down when we've been standing out here for what? An hour?" he said. "And still that doctor can't find out what's wrong!" Masimachii sat down, "Oiy vey…I've never been so stressed ever since Mimi-chan joined this band."
Mrs. Tachikawa walked into the room with a tray of hot coffee and handed them out. Matt gave a faint smile as she handed the cup to him, he never noticed how much Mimi looked like her mother before. He laid back on his chair and stared at the chocolate-looking coffee sitting inside his grasp and glanced back up at everyone; Takeru was already asleep being that he and Tai and Michael woke up in the middle of the night just to rush over here. Masimachii was well, the same really, a nervous wreck-only this time worse. Matt doesn't remember Masimachii ever acting this paranoid before Mimi had come. Actually, the band was never this interesting before Mimi's enthusiastic self came and brought her light into everyone's heart. Matt looked at the pink wooden door and frowned, Mimi would've probably the last person that he would imagine suffering in their bedroom, Mimi would've been the one handing out coffee and cheering up everyone-but look at her now. So helpless, and Matt felt like he was to blame, it's all my fault, he thought, the other day during the concert, when she almost fainted I didn't say anything. And tonight, she said-and I just left her. What's the hell's wrong with me? Matt sighed as he covered his face with his free hand, feeling the warmth from the burning cup-and the warmth where Mimi had held his hand during the night. The same words rang around his head over and over; "You really think you're protecting me, but you're just hurting me more by getting yourself hurt like that-on my account…Why do I care…?…Yamato, I care because-I love you!" Matt glanced at Michael who was busy blowing softly on his cup as the steam flew up to his nose, Michael would've said he, loved her back, Matt said to himself, she wouldn't be here if Michael was in my place instead tonight…
Satoshii looked around the tired room and glanced down at his watch, 2:33 a.m. "Whoa, it's already 2:30 in the morning." He looked at everyone, "I think it'll be best if we all just go home and get some rest-hai, I know I'm worried too but I doubt Mimi will be awake for a while. It's been a long night, like her we all need our rest I-"
They all looked up to find the doctor slowly and quietly shutting the pink door behind him with a slight grave look on his face. He carried a black bag on his left hand and raised his other to motion everyone to sit back down when they all stood up. Matt stayed on his legs.
The middle-aged doctor cleared his throat, "Don't worry, everyone, she's just sleeping now." they heaved a sigh of relief. "But…"
Mr. Tachikawa slightly stood up, "Akashii, what is it? Is Mimi going to be okay?"
The doctor avoided his gaze, "Your daughter has a very high fever-from all this excitement with the band the past week, too much exhaustion for such a girl to handle. She will need to rest for at least a few days, she'll be fine as long as she gets no more distress in herself about anything." He took off his glasses and shook his head. "Did you know that Mimi has been suffering from this sickness for a while now? Not just physically but also mentally. Something has been troubling her which adds more to her stress and causing her to lose her strength at some times."
"Will, will she be alright?"
"I gave her some medication and left them beside her bed. That shall help her recover physically though mentally-it's all up to her." He replied. "Gomen ne minna, but this is all I can do, Mimi has to heal everything else herself."
While Mimi's parents and Masimachii talked and escorted the doctor out, Satoshii turned to Matt.
"I'm not pointing any fingers here but, what exactly happened tonight to my niece?"
"Yamato, I care because-I love you!" Matt shook his head and replied, "I just walked her home, it was raining and she just fainted."
"I don't get it," Tai stroked his chin wearing a frown on his face. "Mimi-chan suffering from-but she's always so, genki and happy." They all glanced at the door where Mimi slept in slumber.
Mimi's parents walked back with grave look on their faces, they turned to the group with Masimachii, "Gomen, but, the doctor suggested that Mimi should stay in her room for a while to regain her strength back. All of you can visit her the moment she wakes up, the doctor said she'll need her friends to be with her to help her regain her-herself back."
They all agreed. The moment Mimi's eyes open they would be at her side, to comfort her and maybe do something to get her old self back. After saying goodnight to the family, Masimachii drove Satoshii, Michael and Tai home while Takeru went with his brother back to theirs. As they gave their respects to the Tachikawas, all glanced once more at the pink wooden door that resembled Mimi's love of pink-the door where a once happy and blissful girl that brought more happiness into their lives and hearts, the girl who claimed her love for a boy whom probably had never felt none…the girl who now slept there in pain and suffering.
--------*-*--------
Where am I? Mimi asked herself as she found herself floating among oblivion in total distant from reality. Am I-am I dead? she glanced at her pajamas and remembered, Oh, nei, I fainted…now I remember, everything. Kenta, walking home, it was raining…Matt, I told Matt I loved him…that was the last I can remember. Mimi frowned, but he didn't say anything back, a business deal that's all it was to him-that's all I am to him. I promised him and myself that I would make him feel how great it is to be loved, even if it's not me. Though deep down I know I want it to be, maybe that's why I said that to him so he wouldn't fall in love with anyone else…she hugged her knees and felt herself hovering about space, Now I caused everyone to worry about me, while I lie helplessly in my room while my friends and family worry about how sick I've been-my parents might get mad at me even being that I didn't say anything about my sickness. And Masimachii and Uncle Satoshii, they were counting on me to succeed in this whole 'stardom' thing…and most of all, I let the guys down to-Tai, TK, Michael, Matt…she looked up, I can't hear anything at all, I'm so alone here-am I dying now or am I already dead? Did I do this to myself? I've caused so many trouble and pain to many people that cared about me. I've been useless to them, selfish and greedy is what I am. Mimi unraveled her legs and stood up, It's so peaceful here, so quiet and warm…will I be better off staying in my dream world and to finally let go of everyone's hold? I don't think I can ever go back, I can't face the grief I've given everyone-and Yamato. She whispered and floated among the darkness that engulfed her.
It's too late now, I told him I love him and he doesn't love me back. I've let everyone down-the band, my fans, they're all so disappointed. I feel so alone…Matt, help me.

A black shiny car flew passed the solemn street lights of the empty night streets. To the few driving cars on the bridge lane looked frozen from its point of view while to them the zooming car looked nothing but a pure blur of black that whizzed to the streets.
When hearing a song of theirs playing on the radio, Matt slightly turned it down to keep the haunting thoughts out of his head. He glanced beside him and onto the figure huddled as it leaned against the door, knees hugged to his chest and belt buckle holding him to the chair and from falling, Takeru slept like a rock. A slight curve crept onto his lips as he looked back onto the road just as a certain voice came on from the melodic song, TK, how I envy you, Matt thought, you're still so young and curious about what love really is. Still toying with your emotions, not really knowing what those three words mean to you and that special person. Matt gripped tighter to the wheel, At least you still have a few more years to figure out what they really mean-though it seems that I missed that time to know what they meant. The soft voice finally reached his ears and he recognized it as Mimis', her heaved a sigh, I wanna be at her side so badly and engulf her in my arms yet at the same time hating her for being so persistent into getting close to me. Not even my own brother's that close to me, what makes her so different? It's just that…I can't help but feel like I'm to blame for all this-for her. Mimi, I want to be at your side the moment you open your eyes, those eyes that always looked at me in such a way that you make my whole world stop just to look at you..
She was right-I do think about money too much. But she has no right to criticize me like that when she doesn't even know why I am the way I am-and she certainly has no right to butting into my business or life! He pushed harder on the pedal causing the car to make a screeching sound, Doofus, Michael's the one in love with you can't you just ignore whatever it is that you feel for me and go to him? Why do she keep bothering me…She's just like those other girls that are crazy over me, isn't she? Hn. It's not fair, toying with my feelings!…by saying those three words that I've heard so many times now, but coming from her-it seems like I've never even heard of such words. By saying those words she's given me such confusion, trouble, I don't know why coming from her it's confusing me even more…Mimi, why are you doing this to me? It's not fair. And with that, he pushed the pedal harder and swerved around the corner.
