I'm with you
Chapter 1: Rain
By: Lily Maxwell

~*~ :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ~*~ :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ~*~

Mimi Tachikawa walked through the cold streets of Odaiba. Even being fall, it was very cold that day. She wasn't happy going to school on a weather like this, but she had to keep her grades, or else, she would be in trouble...

She was so antisocial (A/N: "Are you kidding?!" you ask, and I answer: "No."), that if she stayed at home, she would die from boredom. Even being of a very rich family, Mimi didn't like this life that much. Shopping, being the most famous girl in school... Everything seemed so stupid and helpless to her... Cause, what would she get being the most famous girl in school?

Eyes. She would get the eyes of everyone looking at her, expecting her to be perfect. The best. Not that she was not beautiful; she really got the eyes of many boys, with her long chestnut hair, and those sweets light-brown eyes, but... She just kept herself from the others.

And her image... Well, Mimi thought that, was really matter is inside beauty, so she never really used make-up, or some fashion clothes, skirts, blouses, dresses... Mimi just used what she thought was good in her (A/N: In a review, someone asked me to give her good clothes... but HEY! I don't really describe her clothes anyway...). And that was a normal clothes, nothing extravagant... She was normal.

Arriving at the schools gates, Mimi saw the only thing that she really liked in that school. And that was her best friend, Taichi Kamiya. But no... For her, he was a lot more than just that. She had loved him since she was 10, now she was 16! She never really tried to get his attention, she never really had the courage... But she hoped she had.

Looking at him now, the most famous guy in the school (which didn't really matter), she just had this feeling inside her, telling her to talk to him...

I think... she thought. That maybe today I can talk to him. Maybe open my heart, and tell him my feelings...

She walked towards him, as he was talking to some of his friends. She had a wide smile on her face, and her cheeks were a bit rosy.

"Hi Tai." She said. She wasn't shy of him, she was shy of what she was going to tell him.

"Hey Meems. How are you today?" he asked, smiling at her.

"I'm good, Tai. Uh... Tai?" she asked, as they began to enter the school.

"Yes?" he replied, looking at her.

"Could I... Talk to you today? After school?" she asked.

"Oh... yeah, sure. I don't have anything to do, and I suppose I can go." He said., rubbing his head.

"Oh great! I mean... thanks, Tai. See you at the bridge today, after school then?" she said, hope filling her heart.

"Sure. See ya later!" he said, and ran to his first class, leaving Mimi to go to her locker, and then go to her first class as well too.

He walked through the park, without anything better to do. It was his first day there, in Odaiba, so he was just wandering around, trying to meet the places. He was going to live there from that day on, so, why not start the tour?

The always antisocial, rock-type and, why hide, handsome Yamato Ishida had come from New York to Odaiba, since his parents got sick of that big city. He had lived there once. He didn't have many friends tough. He remembered a guy with spiky hair, but nothing more.

His friend, and crush, Sora Takenouchi had come to Odaiba too, since her mother decided to change a bit, and come back to her old town. He was happy for this. With all his dark clothes, and the dark aura he always kept around him, she was the only friend he kept during so many years. And, because of that, he had obviously raised a deep feeling for her.

Odaiba... Too many years passed, and nothing changed much I suppose. I wonder if this feeling I'm having, that something really important is gonna happen isn't just my imagination. He thought, and then walked off the park.

~ ~ ~

During all day, Mimi couldn't think of anything besides her meeting with Tai at the park. She barely paid attention to the classes, and couldn't think about her exercises on her notebooks. Only the meeting... Only him...

I wonder what he's gonna say... Maybe he loves me back? Or maybe... He never liked me this way... Oh, stop thinking about it, Mimi! You'll never know till you meet him at the park today... That you'll miss if you don't hurry and finish this work the teacher obligated you to do for spacing out in English class!

Mimi hurried and did the work, then handed it to the teacher, then ran out of the room, out of the school, towards the park. But, as she got out of the school's gates, her hopes and happiness that filled her heart at the moment vanished, seeing that scene...

Tai was under a tree, just outside the school, in the school gardens to be more precise. He wasn't alone though. He was with a girl. A redhead. They smiled and laughed a lot, and seemed to be in total harmony, not even caring with the cold wind that surrounded the ambient.

Feeling totally ruined, tears streamed down Mimi's face, and she couldn't stop them. She just had to. She had to cry... And let the dark feelings, sorrow, sadness... betrayal... everything go away.

She ran out, not looking back, not caring if the sky was getting darker, and the weather seemed to get worse. She just wanted to stay the farther way possible from the scene. From them.

When she reached to the park, she laid down on a bench, and cried. And cried. Cried till the day passed out. The afternoon passed, and it was night. And then, the rain began, and got worse and worse. That didn't matter. It helped to clean the wetness of tears from her angelic face, and place it with raindrops.

Matt walked through the city during all day. When he finally gave up with the tour, and the rain began, he thought that, before going home, he'd go to the park again. He liked that place. He had been there before, so it always remembered him of his childhood.

But when he got there, he saw a scene that almost made his heart stop beating. On the bench, laid a creature that seemed an angel, that just fell from the sky. Her black knee-length skirt; her aqua-blue blouse; her dark-blue topcoat; her chestnut hair; her pale and soft skin... They were soaked. She was just totally wet.

But that wasn't the most important thing. He could hear her soft sobs, through the thunders that just began to appear in the sky, and breaking the silence that filled the park, except for this angel's sobs...

Why was she crying, was what he kept thinking. He decided to hide behind a tree, and see if she did anything. For his surprise, she got out of the bench, and walked towards the park's bridge, and stood there, looking down at the water.

~ ~ ~

The rain was getting worse, and now even thunders were coming out. But Mimi just stayed at the park, not thinking on going home or anything. She just kept thinking on him.

Wasn't him the one for her?

Didn't she like him?

Didn't she love him?

Mimi always believed that someone she would love forever would appear, and be with her for all eternity. Not that she believed in 'knights in shining armors', but... She just thought it was right.

So, even knowing it was fool of her, she stayed there, like she was waiting for him. What if he appeared there? Now? She just stayed there. But she listened to nothing, no footsteps... Nothing... Not even the sounds of thunder that came out sometimes.

Was anyone looking for her? She wondered that, but had no answer. Like she would get one. So, she just stayed there, standing by the bridge, looking at the water, waiting for an imaginary love... Someone that would take her out of this mess, out of this nightmare... But, if she looked around her, she wouldn't see anyone... Anyone she knew. So, she just kept thinking about this imaginary love, that would get her somewhere new, out of everything...

~ ~ ~

Matt decided to help. This girl didn't seem to be okay. Standing by a bridge, in a rainy day, waiting for some thunder to reach her, in a damn cold night wasn't sane for him. So, cautiously, he walked towards her, not making a sound.

When he was just behind her, he placed his hand on her shoulder, and she looked around to face him. For some reason, when he touched her, he felt like she was tense, and that was why she looked so fast at him.

But something in her eyes told him the opposite that he thought he would see. He thought he would see fear. But he saw hope.

~ ~ ~

Mimi looked around as a hand touched her shoulder, and found a gorgeous blonde young guy looking at her, concerned somewhat. Were her whishes turned into reality? Was this man the one she was waiting for?

She somewhat felt different about him. Those deep blue-ocean-like eyes of his made her crazy, and she desired to be deeper and deeper into them. As he looked at her, she had no other thought in her head, except the one she put into action.

She kissed him.

She didn't know why, but she just kissed him, like it was some kind of impulse. And, for her surprise, he kissed her back, not thinking if she was a stranger or not. Then, she broke the kiss, and looked at him. He probably thought she was crazy now.

But the look in those mystery eyes told her something different. He felt the same way she did? Like it was the most right thing they would have ever did? Maybe, because a second later, he pulled her into another kiss, and this one deeper, as she placed her arms around his neck, and he placed his around her waist.

Like what seemed eternities later, they broke it, and Mimi stepped back. Then, they closed their eyes, and did what seem right that time: they went home.
