Why, Hikari?

~~~~~~~~Takeru Takaishi~~~~~~~~ "Just leave me alone, Takeru!" Hikari screamed. "I don't want to speak to you again!" Hikari stormed off in a fit of rage. My name is Takeru Takaishi. I'm eighteen and I have a brother, Yamato Ishida, twenty-one. His girlfriend is Mimi Tachikawa and she's twenty. Her favorite thing to do is shop so you can tell what kind of girl she is. I used to have a girlfriend, Hikari Kamiya, who is seventeen, but she hates me now. I kicked open the door to our apartment (I live with Yamato) and ran past my brother up into my room. "You want some." he said as I rocketed up to my room, "food?" "Knock, knock." He said, rapping on my door. "Lemme' alone, Yamato." I mumbled through my pillow. "Takeru, I'll break the door down." "Fine! Try it!" He opened the door effortlessly. He walked in the room and slid his credit card back in his wallet. "Why did I give you a lock? So, what's up?" I slid to the end of the bed and put my head in my hands. "Hikari hates me." "Why do you say that?" "'Cause she dumped me." "WHAT?! You guys have had a crush on each other for like, ever!" "I know. Hey!" "Why?" "She didn't say." "Oh shit!" He exclaimed, looking at his watch, "I've got a date with Mimi! Whoops." "It's ok. Just go." "Okay, bye."

~~~~~~~~Yamato Ishida~~~~~~~~

"So she didn't say why? That's not like her at all, huh?" Mimi asked me. "No, it isn't." I said, although it was hard to tear my eyes off her beauty to make sense when I answered, "And they made such a good couple." "I know." "We need to think up a way to get them back together." "Yeah. I know! A trip to France! France is so romantic!" "Mimi, one problem." I said. "What?" "It costs money to go to France." "Oh, yeah.I have it! If we pool all our money we should have enough to drive down!" "Okay! We'll bring Taichi, Sora, Hikari, Takeru, Miyako, and Koushiro! I'll E-mail them all tonight!"

"Bye, Hun!" Mimi said as she kissed me and walked to her house. "Bye! Man will everybody be surprised."

I ran upstairs right past Takeru to E-mail everyone. After I was done I ran down to talk to Takeru. "So we're going to France?" Takeru asked, "Who's coming?" "Taichi, Sora, Miyako, Mimi, Koushiro," Then I added with a cough, "Hikari." "WHAT?!" "Listen, Taichi insisted. My hands are tied!" "Fine." "Now, the car has four rows with two seats each. Mimi and I will be in front, then Taichi and Sora, Miyako and Koushiro, which leaves you and Hikari." "I know what this is about! You want to get me and Hikari back together!" "So?" I asked, pulling him into a noogie, "You two make such a cute couple!" "Shut up!" He screamed, pulling away from me, "This isn't a joke, Yamato! She hates me!" He then stormed off to his room. "Good night.Takeru."

~~~~~~~~Taichi Kamiya~~~~~~~~

As soon as I read the news I started to pack. "Let's see toothbrush, passport, toothpaste, clothes, goggles, swimsuit." I said as I packed various things. "Well that about sums it up! Now, for food!"

~~~~~~~~Koushiro Izumi~~~~~~~~

"Prodigious!" I said as I read my E-mail. "Hmm.Laptop, clothes, passport, necklace for Miyako."

~~~~~~~~Mimi Tachikawa~~~~~~~~

"Clothes, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo."

~~~~~~~~Sora Takenouchi~~~~~~~~

"Clothes, books, toothbrush, toothpaste."

~~~~~~~~Hikari Kamiya~~~~~~~~

"Clothes, toothbrush, Takeru.Huh?"

The next day everyone was all packed. "I can't believe I have to sit next to you." I said to Takeru. "Well I'm not real pleased either." He said, turning away. Poor Takeru. I can never tell him why I left him. As we all piled into the van I looked over to Takeru. He was looking out the window. I tapped him on the shoulder. He turned to me and had a I'm-not-going-to-talk-to-you-for- the-whole-ride look on his face. "What?" He asked with a sense of hate in his voice. "Nothing."

~~~~~~~~Yamato Ishida~~~~~~~~

"I wonder how it's going back there." I asked my girlfriend. "I don't know." Mimi replied. "Hey, Yamato!" Taichi said. "How 'bout pulling over so we can stretch our legs." "That's not a bad idea!" I replied.

~~~~~~~~Koushiro Izumi~~~~~~~~

"Hey! Hey, Miyako!" I said as I ran up to her, than I noticed she was next to Hikari. "Um.could we talk? Alone?" "Um.okay.sure." she said, as we walked into the woods. "Here." I said timidly as I handed her the box. "Oh, Koushiro! It's beautiful!" she said as she put it on. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

I love cliffhangers!
