Disclaimer: I love Digimon and I love Mimato to pieces, but as much as I love them, I DON'T OWN DIGIMON! Waahh...

Author's Note: Wow, you're all so nice! I've been putting off the anonymous reviewers (because of a flame, sorry pathetic of me... gahh), but I put it back on (I think I put this in the last chapter) so that they can review my fic. *squee* I guess some of you were wondering why I had so little reviews, but if I get further into the subject, I'll just start talking about my superiorosity and I would be so ashamed of myself.

Gomen! Okay, I'll continue. That last chapter went way fast and I was rushing, so I'll try to make it up in this chapter. For some reason, I'm frowning at chapters 5-7. It didn't go the way that I'd planned it to go. I might update and lengthen them if I ever think of anything that will fit there, but they're fine for now. Michael in this fic is the Michael from the anime, but I changed it so that he never knew Mimi before, and I guess the DigiDestined don't seem to remember the DigiWorld, but that was years ago and they don't talk about it much. Ehh. On with the 8th chapter! (BTW: PG-13 parts due to language. Persistent, Yolei is.)

Chapter 08

MIMI groaned and awoke to a room filled with bright lights. She began to sit up, but quickly lay back down and felt her body go numb. "W-Where am I?"

Someone had entered the room and began to speak, "Daijibou?"

Some tears began to well up in her eyes. She answered weakly, "Yamato-kun, I'm so sorry that that happened back in the auditorium. I didn't mean for that to happen. I'm so ashamed --"

He hushed at her, "Don't worry about that, it's no big deal. It's my fault for rushing you to meet the band. I should've asked if you were feeling okay." his head dropped. "Gomen, Mimi-chan."

Mimi felt as if her heart was dying the moment he spoke those words. Some tears that she had been holding back fell down her cheek and he softly brushed them away. Sadness befell among the two and he began to take his leave. She reached out to grab his hand. "Wait. I.. A-Arigatou."

"N-Nani?" he asked looking down at the helpless person lying in the hospital bed in confusion. "Why do you thank me?"

She gave him a weak smile. "For staying by my side. Thank you." she let go of his hand and closed her eyes to get some sleep. Matt rested his hand on the door knob, the door partly open.

"Mimi-chan?" he heard her reply with a 'Hn?' and continued, "Arigatou. I forgot to thank you for breakfast."

She let out a sigh. "You're welcome."

He left the room leaving Mimi in her slumber.

"What? Mimi's sick?!" Yolei exclaimed pounding her balled up hands on the table. The group (minus Mimi) almost fell off of their chairs with Yolei's paroxysm. "How did she get sick?! Why if I find out who did that to her..."

"Crap, take a pill!" Tai interrupted, almost shouting. He trew some small rolled up pieces of paper at her and she threw them back. "You didn't listen to Matt's whole story, so I don't even know why you're going crazy and having a fit."

Yolei sat back down in her seat and scowled angrily at Tai. Matt resumed with his whole 'story'. "The nurse said that she might have gotten a cold from being exposed to too much rain and that it was just a normal fever. Nothing different."

"A 'normal' fever? I don't recall going unconscious by a fever normal." Sora responded, she played around with a baby tomatoe on her plate with her fork, just rolling it back and forth around the plate. "Mimi's never been that sick before. I don't remember her ever being sick or anything. She's always been a bundle of joy and happiness. Now it's depressing to even know that she's not her usual self and probably hurts even more to see her lying in a hospital bed."

'I know what you mean.' Matt thought to himself as some of the others talked quietly amongst each other. "She'll come around. I know she will."

Yolei eyed him. "She fainted, huh? I don't think that Mimi fainted just like that because of a slight 'fever', Matt! Grr, you probably did something to her! Oh, my gosh. I warned her about you, you bastard! You slept with her and you did that to her!"

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Tai and Matt both yelled at the same time, Matt almost knocking his chair down when he quickly stood up. He retorted, "Baka, why in the hell would you think that I would do a thing like that to Mimi? You actually think that I would take advantage of Mimi like that? I think you're the one that might be sick, compared to her."

"Yolei, Matt would never do that. Mimi should've told you something of that sort." Sora added. "You really shouldn't assume things like that especially if you happen to judge someone differently from the way that they actually are. You can get yourself into a lot of trouble. I remember that that used to happen to Mimi, as well."

Yolei looked down and took her seat, "Gomen. I was way in over my head. I guess I feel that Mimi's apart of me. We act like sisters. It's already hard for me to believe that she'd by lying motionlessly in a hospital bed when she's always come to brighten my day. I shouldn't have said that about you, Matt. That was really stupid of me."

"Okay, then." Matt said nodding his head. "Ja ne. I have to go to a band rehearsal and with Mimi's situation, I got held up. I'll meet you guys tomorrow."
