Finding Love

*Chapter Five*

When Meddling Goes Wrong

*

Taichi climbed out of his car, and walked inside the apartment complex. He pushed the button for the third story of the building, but the elevator was on the nineteenth, so he took the steps, storming up them three at a time. He reached the hallway Takeru's apartment was at and saw Miyako standing at the doorway.

"What are you doing here?" Taichi asked.

"Oh, uh, me? I was, um..." Miyako stuttered.

"Just move, okay?" Taichi said.

"I-I can't let you go in there," Miyako said.

"I'm going in there whether you like it or not, so move."

Miyako hit the door with the back of her fist. After fighting Taichi's fingers off the locked door handle two times, Taichi's cell phone rang. Taichi reached into his pocket and answered. It said 'unknown'.

"Hello, Taichi speaking."

"Tai, it's Hikari. I was over at Takeru's, but when I was leaving, s-some creeps grabbed me and took me somewhere."

"Where are you?"

Hikari gave him an address of a place in Shinjuku. Taichi left Miyako and ran off, headed to where Hikari said she was. Miyako knocked three times.

"Okay, he's gone," she said.

Hikari opened Takeru's door and let Miyako in. "Do you think that was a good thing to do? When he doesn't find me, he'll be really pissed, you know," Hikari said.

"He really pissed me off! And anyway, Daisuke has it all planned," Miyako said. "It's a good thing he's off today. Don't worry about it. It's ingenius. Hikari, call him and tell him Taichi's coming."

"I hope this works," Hikari said, pulling out her cell phone.

Taichi drove to Shinjuku and saw a woman with light brown hair standing at a phone booth, three men in overcoats and hats outside, banging. Taichi marched over there and attempted to fight off the men to get to the girl in the booth. One of them pulled him off another, and two held him still. The girl in the booth came out laughing.

"Hey, you're not Hikari!" Taichi said.

Angela laughed. "Of course I'm not. You were pranked, man!"

A teenager walked out of the bushes holding a camcorder. Apparently, he was getting everything on tape. He had blonde hair and light green eyes like Angela, before she dyed her hair. Then, Taichi saw Davis, and two other guys laughing at him.

"Miyako called us. She, Hikari, and Takeru thought we should do something for them. Gary, I'll need a copy of that tape," Daisuke explained.

"This was a setup?" Taichi said, smiling slightly.

"Well, at least he's still thinking straight," Daisuke joked.

Taichi hopped into his car and began driving back to Odaiba. Daisuke immediately called Hikari.

"Kari, Taichi's headed back. He's really pissed, I think," he said.

"Thanks," Hikari said, then hung up. "Miyako, you'd better find a way to fix this. He's really pissed and he's coming back!"

"I thought it would have worked. I think I know how to fix it," Miyako said, but she sounded unsure.

"I'm a goner," Takeru muttered.

"Serena, we can't do this. We have class," Iori said, pulling back from his girlfriend, a girl with short red hair and dark brown eyes.

"We can leave in fifteen minutes," Serena said, pulling onto Iori's arm.

He pried her fingers off. "We have to go now! We'll be late!"

"I know a shortcut," Serena said.

"No, oh no, I'm not falling for that one. The last time you said you had a shortcut, we arrived over an hour late because you got lost!"

"Oh, yeah... let's go," Serena said, grabbing her bag and jacket. Iori grabbed his books and the two started walking towards the law-studies building, where their class was.

"So, how long do you tink it'll take Tai to kill me?" Takeru asked as he stared at the door.

"Aw, honey, don't think like that," Hikari said, squeezing his hand. She stood up and opened the front door. "Since you got him into this mess, you're getting him out, Miyako."

"What do you expect me to do?" Miyako asked.

"Anything you want to. Just don't let anyone get hurt, and don't make Taichi even more upset," Hikari said, seizing Miyako by the arm and pulling her out the door. She waved, closing the door.

"Hikari! Hika, what do you want me to--" Miyako whined, but the brunette closed the door. Miyako, now extremely pissed, kicked the door. "Hikari Kamiya, if you don't open this door right now, you're going to feel the true pain called pregnant rage!" She banged her fist on the door.

"Miyako, just stall him!" Hikari yelled from inside.

"Uh, okay. But if he breaks down the door--"

"You'll pay."

"Why me?"

"Because you called Tai in the first place!"

"It's not my fault he didn't let me finish."

"Miyako, where's Tai?" a voice asked. Miyako turned around and saw Sora standing at the end of the hallway.

"He's coming back from Shinjuku," Miyako answered. "Hikari, open the damn door!"

"Why's he in Shinjuku? What did you guys do?" Sora asked.

"Sora? That you?" Hikari spoke.

"Yeah, it's her. Now open the door!" Miyako screamed.

Hikari opened the door and stepped out. She closed it behind her, and it clicked, assuring her that she was now locked out. "Hi, Sora," she said. "W-what brings you here?"

"I'm trying to find your brother. Now, I'll ask again. Why is Taichi in Shinjuku?" Sora questioned.

"Miyako's brainless scheme was to send Taichi to Shinjuku, where Daisuke and Angela, and whoever else they got, were going to pull a prank on him," Hikari explained.

"It was not a brainless scheme!" Miyako yelled.

"Well, Taichi didn't thinnk the joke was funny and now he's headed back to kill Takeru," Hikari finished, ignoring Miyako.

"Poor Takeru," Sora said. "Well, if it was Miyako's fault, then she should fix this."

"Wha--he shouldn't have hung up on me!" Miyako defended.

"Well, I locked us out so Taichi can't get to Takeru. So I guess we'll just watch Miyako fix this," Hikari said.

"But--" Miyako began, but cut herself off as she heard a set of footsteps heavily stomping up the stairs.

"He's here!" Sora whispered. "What do we do now?"
