The seventh chapter! ^^ Sorry for taking awhile to get it out, but here it is exciting and all! Enjoy!

~*~*~*~*

Mimi woke up to find herself in bed with needles in her arms. A faint beeping came form a machine that was next to the bed. She sat up and winced in pain, for her side ached badly. Lifting up the sheet that was on her, she could see something red staining the thin gown she was wearing.

"What the?" She looked around, and was surprised to see a boy asleep in the chair next to the bed. 'Yamato?' Looking out the window, it was dark outside, with street light shining brightly. 'Oh no! It's late! I have to get home!' Pulling the needles out of her arms, causing the machine to start beeping really loudly; waking up Matt.

"Mimi?" He rubbed his eyes, not fully awake yet. "Mimi! What are you doing?" Before she could answer, a nurse quickly entered.

"Lie back down Ms. Tachikawa! You're in no condition to walk!" She exclaimed, trying to get Mimi back on the bed.

"I have to go home! I don't want to do this but-" She raised her fist and punched the nurse in the jaw, causing her to fall down.

"Security!" The nurse yelled, causing two men to come in and grab her.

"IIE!!" Mimi screamed, tears pouring down her cheeks. As the two men put her on the bed,, they brought out leather straps to tie her down. She twisted and turned, struggling to get away from them. "IIE!!!" She screamed again, as another security guy entered, and helped the first two.

"Careful, careful!" The nurse commanded, as a doctor and few other nurses entered.

"Her cuts are opening!" One of the nurses yelled, as she tried to get close to Mimi.

"Her side wound is completely open!"

"If she loses any more blood she'll die!"

Matt was pushed out of the room, and listened, heartbroken, as Mimi screamed over and over. Heads poked out of the rooms down the hallway, wondering what was going on. Needing someone to talk to, Matt left to go call someone.

*Ten minutes later*

"Onii-san!" Takeru called, as he Taichi, and Hikari rushed down the hall towards him.

"What is it? Why are you here?" Tai asked, as they reached him.

"Look." Was all Matt said, as he pointed to the room with Mimi in it. Mimi had stopped screaming awhile ago, her once beautiful voice hoarse from doing so.

"That's Mimi Tachikawa, isn't it?" Kari asked, looking away from the window.

"Hai, why is she here?" T.k. looked away too, a pained look in his eyes.

"Someone hurt her." Matt growled, punching the wall.

"Who would do something so mean to her?" Tai pondered, still watching her. "Why is she strapped down?"

"I don't know, but she's in a big hurry to go home though." Matt said while sitting down. A loud crash came from within the room, and the four teenagers squished together to look in. Mimi and the bed-like thing was their sides on the floor. The security men were picking it up, a few nurses were on the floor, and the doctor was just watching her calmly. Matt opened the door a bit so they could listen to what they were saying.

"Someone call the girl's parents. They should get down here as soon as possible!" The doctor said, as he and the nurses started to fix the cuts on her. Mimi started to thrash around on the bed again, scaring a few of the nurses.

A nurse left the room and stopped and looked at the kids instead of heading towards the phone. "Are you guys friends of her?" She had a soft voice, and her grim expression disappeared and her face looked peaceful.

"Hai. What's wrong with her?" Matt asked, staring hard at the nurse.

"Well, it seems that someone had stabbed her in the side. Her arms are covered in burns and bruises, and her legs are covered with cuts and bruises. It seems that someone has been abusing her..." The nurse trailed off, lost in thought. Seeing the four teenagers stare at her, she shook out of her deep thoughts, and left to call Mimi's parents.

*30 minutes later*

"WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?!" A loud voice yelled, causing Matt and the others to look up, surprised to hear someone yelling. As Mimi's dad rounded a corner, Matt's eyes turned to slits as he glared at him. The nurse approached him and started to talk to him, but he just shoved her out of the way. "STAY OUT OF MY WAY BITCH!!" He yelled, before entering the room where Mimi was.

Matt was about to enter the room, but Mimi's dad came back out, Mimi walking next to him. "You should have stayed away from me." She said to Matt, which caught her Dad's attention.

"YOU BROUGHT HER HERE?!" He punched Matt, causing him to stumble back, and was about to charge at him, but Tai and T.k. stopped him. "IF YOU EVER COME NEAR HER AGAIN I'LL KILL YOU!!!" He grabbed Mimi's wrist and pulled her along behind him as he stormed down the hall.

"Matt are you ok?" Kari asked, rushing over to him. Matt just pushed past her and ran down the hallway following Mimi and her dad.

"Onii-san!" T.k. yelled, before he, along with Tai and Kari followed after them.

"Papa, you're hurting me." Mimi tried to get out of his grip, but it only caused him to grip her wrist tighter. She cried out in pain and struggled even more to get away. "Papa please!" She begged, starting to cry again.

"FUCKING BITCH!! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING THERE?!" He threw her against the ground, before grabbing her wrist again and dragging her behind him to the car. The wound in Mimi's side opened again, and blood began to pour out of the wound. Upon reaching the car, Mimi gasped to see her Mom lying in the back seat, dead.

"Mama!" Mimi screamed, opening the door and hugging her Mom, as she cried.

"Mr. Tachikawa!" Matt yelled, causing Mimi's dad to turn around, glaring at him. "I won't let you take Mimi home with you!!" He glared at him, prepared to fight for her.

"Oh yeah?" Mimi's dad pulled out a gun and aimed it at Matt's heart.
