Sorry bout the cliff hanger :P Couldn't help myself. Thank you guys so much for the reviews. I'm glad you guy's are enjoying the fic so far, and I see that you all are wondering why the heck Mimi is in there all of a sudden. Don't worry though, answers will be given, but some things will still be kept secret, or else it wouldn't be fun now would it? Enough of my blabbing, on with the next chapter!!

Mask of Deception
Chapter 12: What!?
Sora eyed the girl from the corner of her eye. The other boys in the room looked as if they were ready to jump Tai for knowing the "Angel" as they title her.
"Kill me, kill me now." Tai mumbled.
The few next few hours of school went by very slowly for Tai. At lunch, he went into hiding just to avoid her. He didn't even get the chance to see Kari. Everyone was curious to find out what Mimi was to Tai. One other knew, but he was also hiding. Not because of Mimi, but for personal reasons. He had no clue that Mimi was back. He would soon enough, and the two boys would know why.
Odaiba Headquarters
Tuesday 4:15 PM
Thump!
Tai angrily slammed his fist on Yoshiwara's desk (His Boss)
"What is the meaning of this!?" Tai demanded. "What is going on!?"
"Calm down Yagami, we have discovered that the situation is getting worse, so we saw it fit to have more people on the case." Yoshiwara said calmly.
"That's all fine and well sir, but I must ask. Why her!?" He said pointing at Mimi.
"Hey! I resent that!" Mimi defended.
"What is the problem subordinate Yagami? I thought you would be happy to be working with a familiar face." The general asked.
"Happy? You think I would be happy? The last time we worked with her, she blew up not only my car, but other cars that were parked on the street as well! Not only that, she decided then to blow up half of the corporation that we were trying to protect! Then she shot at TK, thinking that he was one of the terrorists! And who had to pay for all of this?? ME AND TK!!! This woman burned a deep hole in my pocket!!! You owe me a new car!!" He said, eyeing Mimi.
"You're so mean!!" Mimi exclaimed. "It wasn't my fault, I couldn't see anything!"
"If you can't see then don't shoot!!"
"You wanna go!" she challenged.
"Bring it on woman!" Tai growled.
"Enough!!" The general yelled. "Yagami, you do not seem to know the seriousness of the situation. You know very well that Tachikawa is an excellent agent.
Mimi stuck her tongue out at Tai.
"I'm sure Takaishi knows just how much you need her help, don't you." He looked at TK.
All eyes were on him, wondering whose side he would take. TK looked away, not daring to make eye contact with anyone in the room. He did know the seriousness of the situation, unlike the others, so he just nodded his head in agreement.
"Have you gone mad TK!? This is Mimi! Mimi TK! MIMI!"
"Would you shut up! He knows who I am you retard!"
"Oh really? I thought that he had forgotten, seeing that you are a person of unimportance!"
"You little--"
TK finally spoke, cutting Mimi off mid sentence. "Actually Tai, I think it would be a good idea to have her around, remember, we shouldn't complain if we're getting help."
Tai sighed. "If TK says it's okay, I guess I have no choice." He held out a hand to Mimi. "Truce?"
"Fine, truce," she said, taking Tai's hand.
"It's all settled then. You are to co-operate with each other, am I clear?"
"Crystal" Mimi smiled. Tai could tell that she was going to have fun. Truthfully, he feared her in many ways, and for many reasons.
The parking lot
Tuesday 5:30 PM
"Let's go get a bite to eat. I'm starving." TK said.
"Yeah, me too!" Mimi chirped happily.
"TK hun, why don't you come ride with me?" Mimi asked him.
"No! he's riding with me!" Tai said.
"I asked first!"
"So? I'm his best friend!"
They both looked at TK
"TK?"
"Um…"
"He clearly wants to ride with me." Said Mimi.
"Whatever, He wants to ride with me!!"
"Would you two shut up!!" TK bellowed. "What happened to your truce?" He muttered.
They were a bit taken aback by TK's sudden outburst.
"Here's what we'll do. Tai hold out your keys." He instructed.
Tai obediently held them out. TK snatched them out of his hands and took them for himself. He then started to walk to Tai's car.
"Ha Ha! See, he's going to ride with me!" Tai said triumphantly.
"Wrong! I'm not riding with anyone. You, Tai are going to ride with Mimi. I'm gonna drive your car." He said, getting into Tai's car.
"What!? With her!?"
Tai tried to open the passenger door of his car.
"TK! Let me in!"
TK had already locked the door and started up the engine. He rolled down the window, low enough so that they could hear him speak, but not low enough for Tai to open the lock.
"Meet you guy's there," he said with and evil smile.
Then he drove off.
"He actually left." Tai said. "I'm gonna kill him!"
"You, in the back" Mimi said to Tai, pointing to the back of her car.
"Fine!"
Sojoku High
Wednesday 11:05
"Tai!" Mimi called down the hall for the brunette to stop.
"Oh, it's only you." He said in a dead voice.
"And what is that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing."
"Oh whatever, remember, you're supposed to introduce me to your friends today!" she said happily.
"Yeah yeah, I remember. Lets go find TK first."
They walked over to TK's locker, and saw that the blond was stuffing books and papers inside. Surprisingly, regardless of the way he stuffed in his paper and books, he still managed to keep it neat and tidy.
"Okay, all set." He said, and the three of them headed to the cafeteria. TK finally decided that he didn't care if his brother was there or not. For now at least.
"Tai, TK, over here!" Yelled Komashi. "Who's that lovely lady beside you. C'mon, introduce us!"
Tai grumbled a bit. "Everyone, this is Mimi Tachikawa. Mimi, this is everyone."
"It's a real pleasure to meet you all." Mimi said in a pleasant tone.
"Oh my gosh! Aren't you that model from New York!?"
"That would be me."
"Oh my gosh! You are so cool!"
"Thanks."
They sat down at the table, and noticed that a lot of people weren't there yet.
"Hey guys!" Daisuke shouted from behind. "Whao, what do we have here?" He said, noticing the new face.
"Back off Daisuke! You'll scare her away!" Miyako teased him.
"Shut up you!"
"Hey everyone" Matt greeted, with his arm around Sora.
"Everyone, this is Mimi Tachikawa." TK informed.
They also bid there hello's, then took a seat for themselves.
"So…Tai, how do you and TK know Mimi?" Sora questioned.
"Oh, um…we—"
"We're in a band together" Mimi said.
"A what!?" Tai and TK looked at her.
"Whoa, little bro's in a band."
All eyes were on Matt now.
"Your what?" One of the guys at the table questioned.
"Didn't I tell you guys? This is my brother TK" He gestured to TK.
Everyone was shocked.
"Hey everyone!" Came a girl's voice.
"Oh hey Kari!" Daisuke greeted.
"Hey Tai!" She said, completely ignoring Daisuke.
"Wait," said one of the girls.
"You know Tai?"
"Yeah, he's my brother."
"Your what!?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Short n sweet. There. That explains why Mimi is there. Personally I didn't like this chapter. Maybe I should take more time to think these things through. I even made it seem as if Tai and Mimi really hate each other… I didn't intend to make them hate each other that much…but who knows how things will go right?
