Part Seven -B-
What can I say? I like shopping malls. I could tell that Mini-Me hated it, and I
remember being in that stage. Anything "girly" was stupid. Besides, I had
NO endurance. Later, in high school, I joined the track team. I learned how
to go long distances. In fact, I was better than Tai at running…
Tai.
Here I was, at the mall, with my past self… almost having fun, and he was
somewhere… maybe in danger. How selfish can I be? I'm here, ENJOYING
myself, and he's in trouble…?
I'm horrible. I'm terrible. I'm any other adjective that you can manage to
throw in.
"Ne, Matt? Are you OK?" Mini-Me asked, looking concerned. I looked at him.
"It's Tai, isn't it?"
I nodded. "Don't worry, Matt. We'll get him back. I promise you."
"I know. You've already said that. But each time, my confidence builds more
and more." I smiled. Talking to myself was very comforting. Even if he was
15 years younger than me. As a child, I was much wiser than I am now.
Damn. That makes me feel really good.
"Come on, you two. We need to keep up with Sora." Kou-kun said,
practically dragging the two of us around.
Mini-Me started to whine. And whine. And WHINE. I don't remember being
like THAT when I was a kid.
We eventually made our way to Younkers (a brand new store here, actually).
There…I…well…I had a vision. I didn't quite understand it, but I knew that
there had to be something to it. I'm a little bit psychic when it gets down to
it, and very intuitive. My instincts never fail.
It was then I saw a bright light, like a ray…of Hope!! It shined down, and
everything was lit, and a dark blue ray came and broke it apart.
The next thing that I realized was that TK was talking to me. Yes…TK…
suddenly, it clicked. Hope. TK. Bingo. I worked on my instincts, and
grabbed Mini-Me and TK and ran.
"What's up, Onii-chan? Chibi-Onii-chan?" TK asked, confused. He looked at
me, straight into my eyes. "It's Tai-kun, isn't it?"
"Yes."
"What's wrong?"
"That's exactly what we DON'T know!" Mini-Me said, practically hiding in the
corner of the elevator.
"Then what can I do to help?" TK asked, getting scared.
"I don't know." I replied, "Wait? Didn't I grab Kou-kun too?"
"Um…I told you, I haven't seen him." TK said, looking at me like I'd gone crazy.
"No, there's Mini-Me," I said, "And there's a Mini-Kou-kun too."
"Mini-Me? As in 'don't gnaw on the kitty'?" TK asked, trying to keep himself
from laughing too hard.
"No!"
"Anyway, we need to go and find Koushiro." Mini-Me said, getting out of the
elevator going again. "I don't like the idea of just leaving him out there alone."
"Neither do I." I said, hopping out of the elevator. "So, you up to helping us?"
"You bet! I love Tai-kun almost as much you do!" TK said, giving me a
thumbs-up sign. Amazing. He didn't even ask how in the world that I had a
Mini-Me trailing me around.
"Weird. It's really weird how the Kamiya and Yoshida blood lines are
attracted to each other." I mused, walking around Younkers.
"Yeah, I was thinking that too, Onii-chan."
"Do you guys WANT to find Koushiro or not?" Mini-Me asked, getting
impatient. "I remember where I saw him last."
"Good, where?"
"Over by the bra display."
I looked over at TK, and our gaze met and held for a split second. "OH MY
GOD!!!!" We burst out laughing! That was the LAST place I'd expect to find
Kou-kun!
"What's…so funny?" Mini-Me asked, looking very VERY perplexed.
Kou-kun… well… he had to have NO hormones whatsoever! All during high
school, he never chased a single girl! Or guy, for that matter. He devoted
himself to his studies, and he became a college computer technologies
professor. Yeah, he's only about 23, and he's a professor.
And he's in the BRA DISPLAY?
"Well…" TK started, he couldn't say anymore because he was laughing so
hard. He clutched his stomach, almost falling to the ground because he
couldn't breathe!
Mini-Me was starting to get ticked off. "We need to go and find him!"
"I know, come on, TK, let's go." I said, shaking it off. I had to drag TK,
because his legs didn't seem to be under his command anymore.
"Good."
Mini-Me ran off ahead, looking all over the department store. I pulled TK
off to the bra display, and I saw something on the ground. No, it wasn't a
bra. Upon closer inspection, it was a speck of blood. Blood?
I followed the trail, letting TK collapse to the ground. Damn kid. He needed
to learn to control his emotions a little better.
The spots started off little and got larger as I followed the trail. Pretty
soon, they were about six centimeters in diameter. That's pretty damn big.
"Kou-kun? Are you around?" I asked softly, hoping not to alarm anyone by me. I kept on getting weird looks from the ladies that were shopping there. They probably thought that I got off from being around bras. How little do THEY know.
I may be well known, but I'm not famous.
"Kou-kun? Where are you?"
I was rewarded with a loan moan. "Kou-kun!" I whispered, rounding the
display of the b-cups and making my way to the sound. I looked under one
of the shelves, and lo and behold, was Kou-kun. Someone had smashed his
head with a very big and blunt object. I mean, like a baseball bat. "Oh my
god."
"Kou-kun? Can you talk?" I asked, gently lifting him up. I sat down next to
him and put his head in my lap, where I could put my shirt onto the wound
and maybe stop the flow of blood.
"Matt?" He whispered, barely audible. He tried to open one of his eyes, but
only succeeded with immense effort.
"Yeah, it's me. Don't worry, I'll find a way to get you patched up." I said,
smiling. I didn't really feel like smiling, but he needed to see that I wasn't
panicking. Inwardly…however… I was. Someone knew how important
Kou-kun was to this. This person waited for exactly the right time when he
was alone. This person was probably either the same one or working with
the one who took Tai and made him sick. This person… this person was going
to pay.
Dearly.
AN-OK...that's the bad thing. WAHHHH! I didn't want to be mean to Kou-kun!
I totally LOVE my Kou-kun!! I don't like my muse. She's evil. She's REALLY
EVIL.
Well, I like it when people guess what's gonna happen, cuz it gives me good
ideas for what's gonna actually happen...and how good I am at leading you
guys on the wrong track =-)
Ja ne!! One day...one day until my b-day!!! So what are you all giving me?
I'll give you TWO parts, just like yesterday!!! Hopefully, I'll have them all
written, if not, I'll come up with something!! So, watch out for Saturday!
Hehe, Konie's gonna be 17...Konie's gonna be 17.... she's really happy...
