I'm with you
Chapter 3: Crazy fate

The next day, Mimi woke up, and fell a bit strange. A bit sick.

Oh no.... Don't tell me...

She sat up on her bed, and looked around, her vision blurry, and she felt her face a bit hot.

I have a damn illness. That stupid rain gave me an illness. That's just too good. She thought sadly, then tried to get up. She managed to but she fell back on her bed soon after, because of a suddenly pain on her chest. Yes, she made it. She finally got a pretty damn illness that would manage to keep her in bed for a week or so.

Outside, the rain still made its way down to the earth, ruining everyone's day, since everyone liked a clear day to do their works, to go to their schools, and such.

Looks like the weather is with me. Mimi giggled to herself. When I'm depressed, there's a storm. When I'm sick, it's still raining. Funny.

Then, her mother entered the room slowly, seeing if her daughter was still asleep. Seeing that she was already sitting on her bed, her mother gave her a puzzled look.

"Mimi, dear, why are you still sitting there, gazing at the nothing? You have school today." She said sweetly. Mimi looked at her, her face flushing a slight pink.

"I don't feel good, mom." She said with a weak voice that wasn't normal for her.

"Let me see." Mrs. Tachikawa said and walked to her daughter's bed. She sat down beside Mimi, and placed her warm hand on Mimi's forehead.

"Dear Lord, Mimi! You're burning! Stay here, I'll go call Dr. Nathan." Her mom said, and Mimi could only laugh a bit.

"Like I'd like to go anywhere right now, mom." Mimi said, and Mrs. Tachikawa gave her a sweet smile, before going out of the room, to call the doctor.

Matt was a bit excited, because of the previous day. The "Angel of the rain", as he began to call her, looked like she was around his age, so perhaps, if he had a pretty good luck, she would study at the same school he did.

What if I found her? He thought. What am I going to talk to her? After that... What happened yesterday, I have no idea of what I'll say to her... Maybe ask her name was a good one.

He went outside his apartment, and saw that it was still raining.

Really, I'm going to love the rain from this day on. He told himself, and then went to school.

When he got there, he saw someone familiar to him. I wonder if...

"HEEEEYYYY!" a person beside the one he thought he knew somehow yelled, and Matt recognized who was.

"Sora..." he whispered, and then walked to them. Well, I guess that, if I see the "Angel of the rain" around here, Sora, sorry, but I guess you won't talk to me for while, for I'll be very busy... And besides, I feel like my crush for her is fading... Well, Yamato Ishida, for God's sake, yesterday you kissed a girl you had never met your whole life!

"Hey there!" the person beside Sora said, and Matt took a glance at him... He studied the person for a while, then...

"Tai? Taichi Kamiya?" he asked, realizing the... boy's hair. It was totally unmistakable.

"Hey, Matt! It's been a while, isn't it?" the boy said, giving him a thumb up, winking.

"A while?!" Matt exclaimed, excited, tapping the guy on the shoulder. "It's been years, Tai!"

"Stopping this nostalgic moment, let's get in, before the class starts." Sora said. Before they could enter, a girl with long lavender hair stopped then, going to Tai.

"Hey, Tai. Have you seen Mimi around?" Yolei asked.

"Mimi? No, I haven't. As a matter of fact, she was supposed to be here by now." Tai said thoughtfully.

"Who's Mimi?" asked Matt and Sora simultaneously.

"A friend of mine." He said simply.

"A friend, huh?" said Matt playfully.

"Yeah, a friend. I have a person in mind that has nothing to do with Mimi right now." Tai said, and Sora, somehow, blushed. Yolei face was a bit dark, but she said nothing, just got into the building, fuming.

"Did I say something wrong?" Tai asked dumbly (goggle-head till the end...).

"Don't know." Matt and Sora said in unison, then got into the building as well.

Well, if that was this Mimi's best friend, I wonder if she liked Tai? Hehehe, what kind of girl would like Taichi Kamiya?

... You know whom. Said a voice deeply in his mind.

Oh, shut up.

You brought the subject. The voice answered.

Yeah, but I didn't intend to get an answer!

So why you asked?

Why don't you stop bothering me?!

You're the one arguing with yourself.

Matt stopped the argument with his conscience and went to class.

~ ~ ~

"Well, Ms. Tachikawa, we have a simple illness here. You'll be fine in four days or so. Just take the medicament I told you so." Dr. Nathan said, and then went off.

Well, four days at home, doing nothing, just in bed, watching TV... While that gorgeous blonde guy is out there, and I can't see him! ARGH!

Think about it: How were you supposed to see him even if you weren't sick? Asked a smart voice, like a 4 yeas-old's voice.

I don't know! Maybe I'd look all over the city, heck, I have no idea!

Well, then stop complaining. Said the voice.

Oh, would you stop?!

Well, stop arguing with yourself then.

Mimi, angry at herself, turned on the TV and began watching MTV, which now had a special of a band Mimi liked a lot (A/N: I noticed that here I mentioned Silverchair... Actually, it was the second time I mentioned this band! ^^U I dun even like it THAT much, wonder why I always mentioned it? *shrugs*).

At least, something good on TV.

~~~ 3 days later ~~~

Yolei had come to visit Mimi that same day, and this Thursday, she did the same thing as well. After school, Yolei came to Mimi's place and showed her all the day's lessons. She also told her that there was this new guy in school, called Yamato. She said he seemed cool, and that he quickly was very popular between the girls, since he was very handsome, and, as far that they knew, he was single.

Mimi still was so anxious that she could, perhaps, find that "gorgeous blond guy" around that each day that passed, she looked through her window in the rain, hoping to find him there, just in front of her house.

Stop being silly, Mimi Tachikawa. He won't be there, out of the blue, standing just outside of your house, waiting for you to kiss you again! No, if you want to find him, you have to search for him, and you can't definitely find him in this bed! I just hope tomorrow I'm better, I can't stand being stuck here any longer!

She was pretty better now, but still couldn't get out of her house, just wonder inside it. This was so boring, and even with the rain outside, she wished she could go out. Meet Tai... Even though he had been fading from her mind for the last three days, but hey, she had the major crush on him till now, so, it was normal that she wished to meet him.

This is it. Tomorrow, I'll get out of here! That's enough!

~ ~ ~

Matt was so disappointed. It's been three days and he hasn't met the "Angel of the rain" yet! He hadn't seen her anywhere!

Perhaps she wasn't from here. Perhaps she is still to depressed as she was that day, and won't come out of her house... Perhaps I had dreamed? No, definitely not. But, why can't I find her? And that girl, Tai's fan girl, still hasn't showed up either. Well, if she likes Tai, and he doesn't like her, she may be as ugly as crazy, since that guy, being famous, had already had a lot of girlfriends.

Wondering around, Matt ended at the park, where all this had started.

That's it. I just know she'll come here someday. And I'll come here tomorrow too! Someday, she'll appear. I can feel it.

~~~ The next day ~~~

Matt didn't go to school. He told himself that that was the day he'd look for her. It was Saturday anyway (yeah, it's Saturday. I'm not wrong, am I? Yeah, and some schools have classes on Saturday...). It was true he was going to cancel some things he had to do, but that wasn't important. He just had to meet her. To talk to her. To see her. That was enough.

~ ~ ~

Mimi decided to go out, since she was a lot better. She would just walk around, since it wasn't raining, was just cold, and she thought it wasn't going to rain so soon. So, she went for a walk, just not knowing where to go.

~~~ 1 hour later ~~~

Matt, that was sitting on the same bench he met the girl, stood up, as some raindrops began to fall on his face.

Not only the guys are gonna kill me if I don't show up soon, but I haven't met the "Angel" and it's going to rain. Aren't I lucky?

He was going out of the park, as the rain was becoming to get harder.

Great.

~ ~ ~

Mimi, that was now very near the park, since she had already walked a lot, and this was the last place she had told herself to come, since it was "The Place", felt some raindrops beginning to fall.

Mimi, you damn lucky soul, it's raining, and you just got out of a big illness. Don't you love your luck?

Well, at least Mimi had taken the precaution of grabbing a raincoat, and was wearing it. It sure would help a lot.

She entered the park, and looked at the bench she had come earlier some days ago. No one was in the bench, or in the park.

Great.

And she left.

~ ~ ~

Matt, that wasn't wearing a raincoat nor had an umbrella or anything, began to ran out of the park as quickly as possible.

With a very blurry vision, Matt wasn't able to see well what was in front of him, and he ended up bumping into someone.

"Oh sorry!" he and the person said at the same time. He looked up... and found himself speechless.

~ ~ ~

Mimi was walking out of the park, when suddenly someone bumped into her, and she fell directly to the ground, as well as the other person.

"Oh sorry!" she heard the person saying at the same time she did, and then looked up. Her breath was caught on her throat, and she didn't trust her eyes a bit.

"You..."
