Kiss in the Blue

Chapter: Four

A/N: ^^; Everyone made such a big deal about the guy in the library @_@ Sorry to say he was just in there for humor ^^; Not an important character =/ But since people seemed to like him, I might have him pop up here and there to terrorize Yamato =P

Also I've been noticing that people have been stealing my fics or/and ideas. I work really hard writing chapters and creating fics so please don't steal them. ;__; If it keeps happening I might have to take them all down because I do not tolerate copying. If any of you find a stolen idea of mine then please report it to FF.net or email me so I can.

And people! If you're going to actually take one of my fics don't you think you should at least change the title?! *Shakes head*

"Hey Mimi, can we take a walk?" Taichi repeated, going to towards her. "Yea sure..." Mimi mumbled, and stepped aside, letting him pass. Wondering why he was there waiting for her in the first place, she followed Taichi as he made his way down the street. "Is there something in particular you want to talk about?"

Clenching and unclenching his fists, he gazed at the gravel on the road. Gulping a little, he nodded slowly before venturing, "Mimi?"

"H-Hai?" she stuttered. "What's your relationship with Ishida?" was what came out of his mouth next and caused Mimi to cry, "What?" Bringing her feet to a halt, her eyes widened and she questioned him, "What do you mean by that?" Turning to her, Taichi looked sad, his shoulders drooping, as he murmured, "Do you have feelings for him?" Looking anywhere but at him, Mimi didn't know how to respond. What kind of ridiculous question was that? He was her brother! How could she like him? It was impossible. Wasn't it?

Taking her silence as a yes, he frowned, suddenly bringing her into a hug. Resting his head on hers, he held her tightly and pleaded, "Forget him...just forget him!" Mimi's body stiffened, as she felt her blood freeze to ice. Taichi was hugging her but somehow she felt uncomfortable. Trying to pull away, she pushed him back and yelled, "Tai let go!"

"Mimi," Fixing his eyes on her sadly, he lowered his face towards hers… Realizing what he was about to do, she didn't even have a chance to protest as he laid his lips on hers. Stunned for a moment, her emotions finally reacted and she pushed him away, before screaming, "How could you?! What are you doing Taichi?!"

Stumbling back, Taichi stood speechless and confused. He thought she had feelings for him...Tears streaming down her face; Mimi brushed them aside quickly and shouted, "You idiot! I'll never forgive you!" before running away. Dumbfounded, Taichi watched her leave, wearing a stricken expression, before pounding his head against a fence and scolding, "Baka! Baka! Baka! You idiot Tai! Look what you've done!"

Running away as fast as she could to her house, Mimi shook with anger and confusion. 'How could he do that? A kiss is something you do with someone you love isn't it? And Taichi doesn't feel that for me...does he do this with just anyone?!' Reaching her home, she went straight to her room, zipping past a startled Yamato. Jumping onto her bed, she covered her head with a pillow and let out a muffled shout, "Baka Taichi! I won't forgive him at all!!" Listening to her rants outside her door, Yamato decided to knock and asked, "Mimi. What's wrong?"

"Nothing!" Wishing everyone would leave her alone, Mimi threw the pillow at the door, when Yamato walked in. Catching it, he walked over and sat on her bed, as she turned away from him. Staring at a poster on her wall he asked again, "What happened?"

"I told you nothing!" she spat, head buried in her pillow. "I'm going out," he announced to the room. "Fine! You don't need my permission," she sobbed but he continued, "You're coming with me."

"What?" lifting her head in surprise, Mimi was about to protest when Yamato grabbed her arm and dragged her downstairs. Trying to get free of his grip, she squirmed around shrieking, "Let me go! Where are we going?! Go by yourself!"

"I can't ride this with only one person," he stated calmly, avoiding her blows. "Eh?" He had stopped in front a two-person bicycle and she had to ask, "What is this?"

"It used to be my mom and dad's but we're going to use it for today."

"Eh?" she irked again.

Riding around for a good twenty minutes, Mimi soon became agitated and exhausted. Frowning behind his back, she scowled at the boy in front of her and snapped, "Where are we going?"

"Just a few more minutes," he replied, voice demure as ever. Racing down a steep hill, she grabbed onto Yamato for dear life. Trembling as they went faster, Mimi screamed, "Let me off! Let me off! Let me off!" Suddenly, in an instant, they came to a halt. Getting off the bike, he watched as Mimi fell off in shock. They had stopped at a grassy area near a lake and the sunset was bouncing off the water. Getting up and walking over to the water's edge, Mimi gasped, "It's beautiful."

Behind her Yamato nodded and said, "I come here when I'm depressed or just need to think." Surprised, Mimi blurted, "You get depressed?" Giving him a funny look she added, "Why would Mr. Perfect be unhappy?"

"Everyone gets upset sometimes." Looking at her directly in the eyes he added, "Even me and you." Realizing Yamato had brought her here because he knew she was sad, Mimi smiled sheepishly. She didn't quite know why but...it made her happy. "Arigato Yama." Giving her an unreadable glance, he nodded and mumbled, "This will be our secret place."

Staring out the window in class, she sighed remembering yesterday. Smiling when she got to the part with the lake, Mimi accidentally caught Taichi's gaze across the room and thought, 'I don't want to face him yet...I'm still too angry!' Seeing her scowling expression, Taichi looked away and decided, 'I need to talk to her.'

Wanting to avoid him after class she rushed out of the room quickly but Taichi followed right behind her. Almost to the gates, she was sprinting when Mimi suddenly stopped, dropping her bag. In front of her looking at nothing in particular, was the spiky haired girl from the picture. "Ano...who is she waiting for?"
