Lies Tear the World Apart

That's right, I've finally succumbed to writing in chapters. This is Takari and may have Taiora, Mimato, Kouyako, or possibly Jyoun in future chapters. That's your warning. No flaming.

Chapter 2: Prelude to a Date*
"TK asked you out?" came Sora's response.
Hikari bit her lip and nodded with glee. "He's coming to pick me up for a movie at seven." She said.
"Finally." Tai muttered. Sora moved from her place on the couch and gave Kari a hug. She'd just walked in the door and announced her news to Tai and Sora, who were sitting on the couch planning their wedding.
"Will you help me get ready, Sora? I want to look good for this date. I've been waiting for this since I was like 11 years old."
"Of course, I'll call Mimi. This is her thing, she'll make you look great." Sora glanced at her watch. "Oh, 5:30 already! We have to hurry!"
Hikari bounced into her room and Sora followed. "Sorry, Tai. We'll finish the flower arrangements later."
Tai sighed. "It's ok." He said, looking dejected. When Sora turned the corner he smirked and turned on the TV.

"I never thought you'd get the nerve." Matt said with a smirk on his face. He leaned against the door frame of the bathroom while eating popcorn from his hand.
TK turned from the mirror and made a face at his brother. "Agh, Where's my hair gel?" He said, suddenly frustrated.
"I dunno, TK." Matt said, inching his way out of the bathroom.
"Matt! Can I use your hair gel?" TK begged.
"TK… do you know how serious what you're saying is?"
TK just gave him a look and Matt gave in. "Sure, but only because you're going out with Kari. Any other girl would just have to suffer through your un-gelled hair."
TK grabbed the bottle marked "MATT'S. NO TOUCH!" and started squirting the gel out into his palms. He paused and looked at his brother. "What if I mess up? You know, do something stupid?"
"Relax, you're the smooth master! You learned from the best!" Matt said.
TK sighed and muttered a "If you say so." And then a little louder he said, "Do you have any clothes I can borrow?" TK lived with Matt in his apartment. Their parents had both been transferred but the boys had wanted to stay in Odaiba. Matt had started college already and was legally and adult, so they allowed TK to stay with him.
"Pfff. Now you're just going too far." Matt said, throwing a piece of popcorn at TK.
"You know, you're not helping like you said you would." TK said, trying to push his brother out of the bathroom. Matt didn't budge, though.
"You missed a strand of hair." He said. TK looked at him and groaned.

Mimi pulled a brush through Kari's hair one last time and took a step back.
"Sora!" Mimi beckoned. Sora was suddenly in the door frame to Kari's room. "Can you get me the clips?"
Sora grinned and nodded and then was gone. "Now let's see." Mimi was saying as she looked through Kari's wardrobe. She pulled out a black v-neck T-shirt with a red heart on it and nodded approvingly. Kari was putting on her eyeliner and humming to herself. Mimi started talking to herself.
"… and they're just going to the movies so she doesn't need to wear a skirt, maybe just some nice.. Ah ha!" she said, pulling out Kari's plaid flares. "Kari do you have any black clunky shoes?"
Kari turned around. "Yeah, they're in the bottom." Mimi started talking to herself again and Kari went back to her make-up when Sora appeared in the door again.
"Oh good." Mimi said, taking a drawer of clips from Sora.
"Um, we kinda have a problem." Sora said.
Both girls turned and looked at her with feared expressions.
"TK is already here."
Kari let out a shriek. Suddenly Mimi was in a mad dash. Mimi finished putting Kari's make up on while Sora parted her shoulder length hair and pulled each side into a small bun and used a small heart clip to keep her bangs back. After that was finished Kari threw on her clothes and shoes, grabbed her purse, and was out the door. Sora and Mimi followed to see her and TK at the door talking to Tai.
"Tai…" Sora warned.
"What?" He looked at them. "I was just telling them to have a good time." He said innocently.
"Bye!" Kari said as they left through the door.
Sora and Mimi squealed and hugged each other. Everyone knew that this was just the beginning of something that had always been meant to be.

Ok, um… I'll try to get the next chapter out quickly. It will be the actual date. Man, I haven't even gotten to the real story yet… ok, ok… um bye.
