Part Seven-A-
"Come on! You guys need to get moving!" Koushiro said, trying to pull on my
arm. I was tired. He'd been dragging us around all day following Sora. Sora
and Mimi. In a shopping mall. Matt didn't seem too fazed by it, but I was
tired. I wasn't used to this kinda treatment.
"Can we stop and get a drink of WATER maybe?" I asked. I knew I was
whining. I knew it. I didn't really give a shit.
"No. They're on the move again." Koushiro said, yanking my arm again. I
looked back at Matt, who was grinning.
HELP ME!
He smiled, and said, "Well, Kou-kun, I'm pretty sure that they're going back
to Mimi's place, since she did move back to Tokyo you know. Jyuban district.
Let's just stop here, get some ice cream and catch up with them later?"
"NO!"
Matt and I stumbled back. Koushiro… he yelled at us? Since when has he ever
done that?
"Let's get going. We want to save Taichi, don't we?" Koushiro asked, this
time in a softer tone.
"Yeah. Let's go." Matt said, grabbing my hand. "Come on, Mini-Me. Let's
follow our fearless leader to save our other fearless leader."
Sora did NOTHING. Nothing out of the ordinary for a (now) single 25 year
old young woman shopping with her best friend.
A little after they stopped off in Younkers, I saw someone walk past, and he
looked familiar. The guy saw me jerk away from Matt, and I hid behind him.
"Hey! Onii-chan!"
"Hey, TK!" Matt said, letting go of my hand and rushing forward to hug…
Takeru? "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I was just getting an anniversary present for Kari." Takeru said,
"How are things with you and Tai-kun?"
Matt looked shocked, and I know I did too. His jaw dropped and he tried
to ask, "How...did…?"
"Kari told me. She just knows these kinda things." Takeru explained,
smiling. He looked around Matt's legs and was trying to see me. I was
doing a damned good job of dodging his gaze, if I say so myself. "Ne?
Who's that behind you, Onii-chan?" He asked, pointing to Matt's legs.
"Come on out, Mini-Me, Kou-kun." Matt said. "It's only TK."
"TK? Since when do I call him TK?" I asked, coming out from behind Matt.
"His name is Takeru."
"TK" looked rather shocked.
"Onii-chan? Squared?" He managed to get out.
"Yeah, we might need your help, actually, TK."
"Good. We need all the help we can get." Koushiro said, stepping out
from behind the Cross Your Heart bra display. I don't want to know.
I REALLY don't want to know.
"Kou-kun?" Takeru sputtered, "But I just saw him last night!"
"Then you and I need to talk." Matt said, yanking me and Takeru over to
the elevator. We got inside and he hit the "close door" button and then
the "emergency stop".
"What about Kou-kun?"
"We can leave him there. Now what did you see?"
"Well," Takeru started, thinking, "He came to my place, and Kari answered
the door. He asked, 'Do you know where Yamato is?' And Kari said no, and
he asked me. I said probably at Tai-kun's place, and he left."
"That's all?"
"That's all." Takeru said, looking down at me. "So where did the Mini-You
come from?"
"I'm am NOT a MINI ANYONE!" I yelled, glaring at him. "My name is YAMATO.
You should know it by now."
"OK, sheesh. So, where did you come from, Chibi-Onii-chan?" Takeru asked,
looking down at me. He was a good foot and a half taller than I. "And what
can I help with?"
"There's something wrong with Taichi." I said, crossing my arms and standing
in the corner. Away from Matt and Takeru.
"What's up? Didn't you two just get together?" Takeru asked Matt, who was
frowning now.
"He's gone."
"AND, in my time, he's sick. We can't figure out how to save him."
"So… your Tai is gone…" Takeru said, pointing to Matt. "And your Tai is sick."
He said, pointing to me. "So what can I do?"
"We don't know."
AN-OK...just today, I'll put up two parts!! I'm in a generous mood! But that
means that you'll have to wait for more later on... (I'll still post the one
tomorrow and the day after, but then on it's whenever I finish the parts I'll
post them, 'k?) Well... thanks for reviewing!
