Double Star
Okie this story was specially made for Faith-chan my best friend, co-mangaka, manga-onee-chan and the greatest person I've ever met ^^v I hope this makes her day a tad happier than normally.
For the rest of you, this is obviously a future Mimato centered mostly in Mimi. This is only the first part, was planning to make it only 1 big thing but then it'd be too long and it's long enough. Anyway have fun reading and be as mean as you want in your reviews, I dun erase them.

Yamato sighed as he sat down at the street. It was his wedding with Sora and she'd let him there as if he was scum. At this stage he started to wonder if she really loved him. She was always late to their dates and never seemed really interested in their conversations, as if her mind was flying around lost, anywhere but in the conversation. She seemed somewhat cold... was she the woman he'd fallen in love with? It didn't seem so. Maybe it was his money. Yes, that was probably it; he'd made a fortune with his band and was really successful. He knew what would follow, a lot of articles about him in the newspaper and then lots of songs about broken hearts and how much love hurt. He didn't care, they could make profit of it at least and his female fans would be pleased... but who cared about money anyway, without happiness does it really matter?
A fool... that's what Yamato kept repeating in his head, "you're a fool" but could he really be blamed? He was one more of the victims of blind love.
Most men would go to a bar after that, he didn't. He didn't like drinking; he just decided to go home, all alone...
Mimi sighed. Sora was her friend and she knew she wouldn't do something like that. Maybe she should go over to her apartment... It was sort of scary to walk alone at night but Mimi was used, she often had weird needs. Once she woke up at 1 am to get ice cream... many of her friends thought she was crazy, of course she didn't care. Soon she was in front of Sora's house. She knocked the door. Nobody answered. She would have left but her 6th sense told her not to. Under the carpet there was a spare key. She took it and opened the door. The shower was on but she couldn't hear Sora singing as usually. As the young woman opened the door she shouted horrified. Sora was on the floor. Dead. She'd slipped and hit her head with the sink dieing instantly. Mimi was the first one to see the corpse.
An ambulance arrived soon, so did the police and the reporters, eager to ask questions. They asked. And asked. Mimi felt dizzy... Sora wasn't there... people around her asking. It was too much. She fainted.
She woke up next day in the hospital.
"Bah I'm doing fine... it was just a little dizziness..." she thought sitting down. A nurse entered. "Good morning. Please stay in bed, you don't want to faint again do you?" the young nurse said with a kind tone softly pushing Mimi back into her bed. She looked around. The place was white, so was her bed and the blankets. The only thing that wasn't was the TV and the window showing a gray rainy day outside. The lady turned on the TV. She saw herself being asked many questions, the panic and then her eyes closing and her landing on the floor. Then it changed to Yamato. He seemed to be having a bad day too. How did those people move so fast anyway? She hadn't called them... They probably had someone informing them or something. As she was thinking of this somebody knocked the door. There was nobody else in the room so it was someone visiting her.
"Are you awake...?" she recognized the voice immediately.
"Yamato-san! What are you doing here?" she bit her tongue, "well, I mean... how did you manage to enter without being followed by the press?"
"I didn't," he said with a sigh, "they're all outside, luckily the nurses didn't let them enter. Are you ok?"
Mimi nodded, "I'm fine, I guess it was just my nerves last night... Sora isn't here anymore..."
He nodded, "I know..." he had a sad look.
"Are you fine?" the young woman asked looking at his face. She was pretty confident with people and didn't usually get away from their look. Yamato gave her a pain filled smile, "I'm as fine as I can be," he said trying to erase the bitter tone death added to his words.
Mimi nodded; she had a sad look too but couldn't truly understand Yamato's pain that was double as big as if Sora had left him. At least Sora would be happy without him but she didn't have a chance to, she wasn't there anymore. Gone, simply gone.
Mimi's eyes filled with tears thinking of what she couldn't do with her dear friend, how many things she hadn't told her, the life she couldn't live... it hurt. Then she smiled; she needed to be strong for Yamato. "Daijobu Yamato-san, I'm sure that wherever she is Sora is happy."
"Thanks Mimi. I'm glad you think like that. Sora probably wouldn't have wanted to see you sad."
Mimi nodded, "suppaa strong girls!" she said with a giggle remembering them saying that together. Yamato looked at her. He wished he were as strong.
The nurse entered the room again. "I'm sorry gentleman but it's time for miss Tachikawa to be checked by the doctor."
Yamato nodded and walked out waving at Mimi. Mimi smiled.
Days passed and before anyone could notice it was the date again. Mimi looked at her dresses wondering what to wear. So many to chose from... She suddenly smiled remmebering something. The woman knelt to take a box from the bottom of the closet. She opened it. It was perfect. Taichi and Jyou would surely be surprised. She'd bought it some months ago especially for the reunion and had forgotten about it. She ran to the bathroom. There was only 2 hours left and she needed to look just perfect so people would forget about Sora not being there.
The time finally arrived. She'd gotten there 15 minutes later on purpose, everybody was probably at the restaurant and she wanted to be seen by them all as she entered. Opening the glassy door she stepped into the place looking up with a funny snobby expression. Jyou and Taichi started laughing and singing: "hoshi ni negai wooooooo! Kaze ni puraido..." Mimi stuck out her tongue and laughed with them. She was wearing a dress exactly like the one she'd worn that day when they met the Gekomons. The rest blinked without understanding while Jyou told them everything. Mimi looked at them smiling. Taichi looked pretty handsome, he was wearing a black smoking like all the other guys. Yamato was sitting near him looking just as handsome. Then there was Takeru. He was holding Hikari's hand as if he didn't want to lose her like Yamato lost Sora. Well, he probably didn't. Then there was Jyou, a doctor already. Koushirou near him, he wasn't laughing as much as the rest but sure having fun. Everybody was amused, luckily.
The night didn't go on very well because as they went on telling stories they stumbled with Sora, still in their remembering. Sad looks covered the chosen children's faces. Mimi had faced it already, she wasn't there anymore. Yamato had too but his pain was deeper.
"All right people there's no use in wearing those sad masks don't you think?" Mimi was wearing her best smile, "Now let's all show Sora how happy we can be remembering her, our dear friend." Everybody nodded in agreement.
"Well, do you remember..." the memories came back and everybody grew cheerful.
They finished their reunion at 1 AM. Hikari was pretty drunk so Taichi and Takeru offered to take her home. Jyou and Koushirou shared a taxi and when Mimi walked to them to join them Yamato stopped her offering to take her in his car.
"It's all right I can..." too late, the taxi was gone. "Well, I guess I'll accept you offer, thank you," she gave him her best smile and he returned with his best too.
Mimi's apartment was rather far from the restaurant, 30 minutes by car so they had plenty of time to talk. As if it hadn't been enough with the dinner they went on chatting about their lives, work, friends and finally about love.
"So do you have a boyfriend yet? What a question, you must have a queue of people waiting to date you!"
"Actually I'm still single. It's not that I can't find anyone, I'm just looking for the right one."
"Quite wise m'lady. I still can't seem to think of anyone but Sora... but soon I'll find a pretty girl who understands me, and then I'll be in love again. I won't waste my life because of death, it arrives for everyone after all and I'd better enjoy my life before it gets me."
"Well, I see you've become wise too Mr. Famous," she winked at him.
"I've gone through a lot..." he said with a sigh looking at the road, "I'm used to it."
"I see... well, I'm hoping you find that pretty girl soon, if you need me you know my phone number!"
"Err..." Yamato sweatdropped, " I think I lost it."
"Dummy boy, here!" she took out a piece of paper and wrote down her number, "There ya go. Oh stop here, please."
Yamato did as he was told. Once the girl had left he stared at the piece of paper. Dummy boy... nobody had called him that ever since he'd become a star. It felt good to be treated as a friend.
Mimi was waxing her legs (the pain women have to go trough~~!) when she got a phone call.
"Mimi, it's me, this is urgent! You told me I could call whenever I had a problem, right?"
"Excuse me?" she couldn't recognize the voice.
"Yamato!"
"Oh, hi! What's wrong?"
"I was supposed to go with Sora to the Mirik Awards (made up music awards ^^;) and I totally forgot to get somebody else to go with! Would you come with me? It's this Saturday."
Mimi looked at her agenda. Her date with Mikado was that day.
"Sure, I'll go!" she said. Inside she was yelling at herself. Why had she said yes? Maybe it as the name Sora that had her under its curse... yes that was it.
"Thank you a lot! Now I have to go, my agent is calling, see ya!"
"Bye!" she said and hung up. Now she had to cancel her date.
Soon Saturday had arrived. Mimi was wearing a new pink and white dress. It was long and had a little rose at the top, right above her chest area. She was also wearing rose earring that matched the dress. She was looking through the window when a large limousine arrived. Yamato went out of it holding a bunch of roses. She smiled and rushed downstairs trying not to trip with her high heels. Even if she was already an adult she was thrilled like a schoolgirl, the Mirik Awards were the most important in Japan.
"Wooow you look wonderful!" Yamato said handing her the roses. She blushed slightly, "thank you." Both entered the limousine.
After chatting for about an hour about anything that got into their minds they arrived. Mimi was impressed by the crowd that was waiting outside.
They went out and Mimi held his arm, that's what she had to say according to his instructions. The flashes blinded her. The man seemed really calm, he was surely used to tall that. She followed his example as well as she could but ended up pale.
"Are you fine?"
"Yes, I'm all right," she smiled at him proving she was OK.
The place was filled with celebrities. Mimi looked around trying not to make obvious how amazed she was being surrounded by all these people.
"And now..." the announcer started, "for the best male singer: Sho Masaki from "Kiiroi Kumo", Maeda Akira Maeda from "Hontou ni?" (Yeah I'm not good making up band names ^^;) and Ishida Yamato from "Hoshi-Hoshi" (No idea of his band's name... now he's in Star-Star ^^;;;; ) and the winner is...
Ishida Yamato!" (Bah too obvious...)
Yamato rose from his seat and walked towards the podium. After some words he took his award back to the table where he was congratulated by Mimi.
"You did great!!!!!!" She didn't feel a bit sorry for having to cancel her date now.
They finished the night with a little party with the band, some of their relatives and friends and Takeru who brought Hikari along. There was some dancing, food, drinks and of course everybody congratulated Yamato. Also there was some karaoke. Yamato started singing one of his songs, perfectly of course. One of the boys in the band followed and everybody kept teasing him. Then Hikari who didn't sing too bad or too well.
"Ne Mimi why don't you try too?"
"Um... well..."
"Please!" Takeru insisted, "I haven't heard your voice in ages!"
"All right," Mimi got up and walked towards the microphone. She started singing and everything got quiet. Mimi didn't feel anything around her, the only thing there was in the world was her song and the background melody. Suddenly the song got to its end and she opened her eyes. The silence was broken by applauses. Mimi blushed and bowed to her public. As she sat down she noticed all the boys from the band talking in a corner but didn't pay it a lot of attention. Then, suddenly Yamato walked to her and told her the most surprising thing he could have said after "I love you": he asked her to be a part of the band. (predictable ne? My, I'm a bad writer...) It was all set: she'd be a part of Hoshi-Hoshi.
Okie this story was specially made for Faith-chan my best friend, co-mangaka, manga-onee-chan and the greatest person I've ever met ^^v I hope this makes her day a tad happier than normally.
For the rest of you, this is obviously a future Mimato centered mostly in Mimi. This is only the first part, was planning to make it only 1 big thing but then it'd be too long and it's long enough. Anyway have fun reading and be as mean as you want in your reviews, I dun erase them.
