Authoress's note: After the reviews I've been getting, I've decided to slow down things a bit, make it more interesting, add a little meddling in other people's affairs. Who do you think I just described? Well, keep reading.

This is going out to all my fans who reviewed: Anthony; Dark N' Dreary. Sacred Light. Dragon Star. And some dude named Savoan Locc who flamed me because of a jyoumi, but I don't care about that. Well, thanks for your reviews. And here's that awaited chapter. Hope you like it.

Finding Love

*Chapter Four*

Meddling

*

It was the next morning. Hikari smiled to herself as soon as she woke up in her bedroom. She looked at her ring, then at the picture of her fiancé on her bedside table. She sighed happily, just thinking about him. She took a shower, got dressed, grabbed her keys, and drove over. He opened the door and smiled.

"Lovely, lovely," Takeru said smiling at her.

She greeted him with a kiss then sniffed the air. "Smells good. What's for breakfast? I'm famished!"

"Huh?"

"Breakfast. Don't let it burn," Hikari joked, following him into the kitchen. He flipped a pancake in the pan on the stove, then turned around and started making out with her. After a minute or so, she pulled back and reminded him of the food. He laughed.

The phone rang. Takeru answered it. "Hello? Takeru speaking."

"Um, Takeru, it's Miyako. Do you know where Hikari is? She didn't answer at home."

"Hold on, Miyako." Takeru handed the phone to Hikari.

"Who is it?" she whispered. "Miyako?" Takeru nodded. She put the receiver at her ear. "Miyako? What is it?"

"I called you this morning and no one answered at your house," Miyako said. "What are you doing at Takeru's this early? I thought you didn't like him. Did you...?"

"Get your head out of the gutter, Miyako!" Hikari said. "I came to visit my fiancé this morning."

"Fiancé? Wha? Okay, spill it. I want details," Miyako said.

"Hold on," Hikari said. She smiled at Takeru, then hurried into his room and closed the door. "Okay, he's not around." Then she gave her a play-by-play on what had happened. "He's so romantic," she sighed.

"Hold it, Hikari," Miyako said, shattering Hikari's happy thoughts. "Just yesterday, you screamed your heart out about him to me, and it wasn't all pretty."

"But, when he took me to dinner, I told him I loved him, and then he proposed. It was all confusion, so I'm perfectly happy. Now don't burst my cheerful bubble again."

Miyako chuckled at her friend's joke, then the two got into a riveted discussion on Hikari's wedding. Miyako rolled over onto the bed, almost falling over. She screamed. Ken, who had awaken, pulled her back over and held her in his arms. He kissed her, then gently pushed her away, rolled over, and covered his head with the blankets, trying to get some more sleep. At that moment, his alarm went off. He smacked in and sighed, staring at the ceiling.

"See, Miyako, you woke me up," Ken complained childishly.

"Well, your alarm would have soon anyway, so it doesn't really matter, does it?" Miyako said. She put the receiver back at her ear. "Anyways... Hikari? Hikari!"

Takeru had come into the room to tell Hikari breakfast was ready when Miyako had gone on hold, and they started making out. Again. Hikari pulled away when she heard a her name being called loudly. She put the phone at her ear. "Miyako, listen, I've got to go. Breakfast. I'll call sometime tomorrow." She hung up the phone before Miyako had time to say 'but'. Takeru led Hikari to the dining room. He served breakfast and lit a candle in the middle of the table. "You are so romantic," his fianc

"So, what did Miyako want?" Takeru asked curiously.

"That's for me to know, and for you to never find out," Hikari laughed.

"You told her about the proposal, didn't you?"

"Maybe."

"Hikari," Takeru whined.

"Takeru, they'd find out anyway, and Miyako thought I slept with you last night, for the reason why I'm here."

"Miyako needs psychological help."

"Takeru, don't be mean. She's just an overly-obsessed romanticizer. She was addicted to boys... Koushiro, Ryou, Gary, Kemouro, Ken... so she's like that."

"And 'I'm' being mean?"

Hikari kissed him, then they started eating.

~*!*~*!*~*!*~

"She hung up on me! I can't believe it! Of all the nerve," Miyako ranted, looking at the phone in her hands. "Oh well. Ken, guess what!"

"What?"

"Takeru proposed to Hikari last night," Miyako said.

Ken walked over to her. "Are you serious?"

"She just told me. That's where she is right now."

"At seven fifteen in the morning?"

"Yep."

"Oh, okay."

Miyako picked up the phone again and began dialing another number.

"Honey, who are you going to call now?"

"Her brother."

"Miyako, dear, are you trying to stop something?"

"That's exactly what I'm trying to do."

"Miyako, let them be."

"Aw, Kenny, you're no fun." Miyako dialed the number anyway.

~*!*~*!*~*!*~

Taichi Kamiya heard a ringing noise and slammed the phone. He hit it a few more times, thinking it was the alarm clock, then realized it wasn't, and picked it up. He held it to his ear, and listened. There was silence on the other end, then a voice.

"Taichi?"

"Miyako, that you?" Taichi said.

"Yeah, it's me. You'll never guess what I found out... it has to do with Hikari."

"What is it?"

"I shouldn't be telling you this..."

"Miyako, you'd better tell me!"

"Okay, okay, here goes. Hikari is over at Takeru's."

"WHAT?!?!"

"Yeah, I just got off the phone with her. I called her house, and she didn't answer, so I called his place, and he put her on."

"You've got to be kidding me!"

"No, I'm not. But, it's not what you -"

Taichi hung up the phone and began slipping on a pair of jeans. Sora turned on his bed.

"Taichi, where are you going? It's early," she said.

"Hikari's over at Takeru's." Taichi buttoned a light blue shirt, and threw on his overcoat. He began putting on his shoes.

"Taichi, maybe it's not like that," Sora said. "Takeru's more responsible than that."

"But still, Sor, my baby sister's over at his house at seven thirty in the morning! You know what that means!"

"Hikari's not a baby anymore. She can make her own decisions. Taichi, don't go over there."

"Too late, I'm going." Taichi grabbed his car keys, and hurried out of the house.

~*!*~*!*~*!*~

"Think," Miyako replied dumbly, then placed the phone on the charger. She sat up, and began getting dressed.

"Miyako, where are you going?" Ken asked.

"I have to stop Taichi from killing Takeru," she replied, putting on a light blue dress. She placed a matching hat on her head, and slid on whit sandals. She kissed Ken goodbye and hurried out of the house.

~*!*~*!*~*!*~

There was a knock on the door as Takeru was clearing the table.

"I wonder who that could be," he said, as he walked to the door. He opened it. "Miyako?! Wh-what are you doing here?" His face went red.

"Miyako?!" Hikari's surprised face appeared at the door. "What are you doing here?"

"I, uh, gave you some... 'problems'," she said, emphasizing the word 'problem'.

"Miyako! What did you do, now?" Hikari asked.

"I called Taichi," Miyako replied in a small voice.

"Oh, man, Takeru, Taichi's coming! Miyako, what exactly did you tell him?"

"I told him that you were over here, and he must have taken it the wrong way, because he hung up on me."

"Damn," Takeru said. "I'm a dead man walking."

"There's still hope for you yet. Hikari, I have an idea," Miyako said.
