It's Not That Bad by Yaoi Girl

*Knock, knock, knock*

"Who is it?"

Satoshi gently pushed open the door, peeking inside shyly until he heard a giggle and seen a hand motion for him to enter.

He ran across the room and into Hikari's open arms, hugging her tightly. "Hi, Kari-chan!"

"Hi, Satoshi. Why are you in here? Is Taichi being mean to you again?" she asked as the boy backed up slightly.

He shook his head. "No; him and Yama-chan fell asleep on the couch, and my movie's over. I'm bored…"

"I see. Well, I have an idea. You wanna help me?" Hikari asked as she peered out her bedroom door and into the living room before gently shutting it.

"Is it fun?"

"It'll be loads of fun, but…"

"I hate 'buts'…" he pouted.

Hikari laughed and patted the spot next to her on the bed. "The only thing is, you can't laugh until we're done…do you think you can do that?"

"You have to tell me first."

She bit her lower lip, deciding. "Alright…" She leaned down to the boy's ear, whispering.

Satoshi's eyes widened and he tried to keep from laughing too loudly; he didn't want to wake the pair up in the other room. "I don't know if I can keep from laughing or not, but it's a really good plan."

"How about this then," she removed the digital camera that she almost always wore around her neck. "You remember how to work this, right?"

He nodded, smiling.

"Okay; you stay here until I tell you come out, got it?" she asked as she picked up a plastic container from her desk and walked towards the door.

"Okay."

Winking, Hikari put a finger to her lips, indicating that he keep quiet while she exited the room, closing the door softly behind her.

The female brunette walked as quietly as she could towards the pair, setting the container on the floor next to the couch, opening it, and removing several contents, biting her lips together as she went to work, to keep from laughing.

About five minutes later, a light tapping was heard on the bedroom door and Satoshi emerged, digi-cam in his tiny hands as he pranced to stand next to Hikari.

He turned on the LCD screen and zoomed in, the flash causing both boys to jolt awake, Taichi nearly throwing Yamato to the floor, Satoshi quickly hiding the camera behind his back.

As the brunette caught the blonde before he fell, he blinked several times before he caught on to what the other pair was now laughing hysterically about, Yamato doing the same to Taichi.

Simultaneously, the pair burst into laughter, pointing at each other, then realization dawned on them as they both turned and glared at the still laughing pair, who were making a run for Hikari's bedroom.

"Hikari! You better get back in here right now and get this stuff off of me! I'm not kidding!" he yelled.

Yamato, being the smart one, got up and walked down the hall to the bathroom, scared to death to look into the mirror, but he knew he had to, and he didn't like the results. "I can't believe she did this to me…"

"Well how do you think I feel? She's my sister! What have I ever done to her to deserve to have HER make-up put on ME!" Taichi growled as he grabbed a washcloth from under the sink, wetting it in the faucet before angrily rubbing the bright red lipstick, pink blush, mascara, and silver eye shadow from his face.

"Aw, I thought you looked pretty good with that on," Yamato teased, also scrubbing at his face.

"I could say the same about you, ya know. Gah…why won't this stuff come off?!"

"You know you won't get all of it off right now, so why don't you just get off what you can, then wait till Satoshi leaves and we can have that shower," the blonde said softly, eyes focused in the mirror at the job at hand.

Taichi sighed. "I don't think my parents would appreciate that…"

"Why's that?"

"Well, two boys in the shower, naked, together…Best friends or not, I don't know how they would take something like that this soon."

"Oh, then I guess one of us can take a shower now and the other keep an eye on Satoshi for a little bit, then switch."

"Who said I wouldn't do it?"

"But you said…"

"I know what I said. But I never said I wouldn't do it," he said, smiling evilly. "What time is it?"

"Um…about 10:30 or so."

"Alright, we have about another hour before Satoshi's parents get here; by then my parent's will be asleep, so we'll have to keep it down if we do this. You still have until then to change your mind; I'm not going to force you to take a shower with me."

"I know, but I've been thinking about it all day, and it's already late, and we're both in need of a major bath; just look at all the dirt from earlier coming off your face with that make-up."

"So now we're back to the bath idea?" Taichi asked, grinning mischievously.

TBC

I WILL do a bath scene, I just don't know if it'll be next chapter or the one after that, but I promise I will. BTW, good guess Redrum about Satoshi going to Hikari's room! You know me too well. ^_^;

Review please!

There's a pic that I did today in the Digimon fanart section that had Taichi, Yamato, and Satoshi if you want to check it out. ^_^
