Samantha's palms were cold and dry. Whatever happened to the whole sweaty palms thing? Maybe she was so scared of what was about to happen that her palms had practically given up on sweating. And to make things worse, Shannon wasn't there. She'd gone missing ever since the concert had ended, and Sam just knew that if she missed her only chance to see Taichi she would actually kill herself.

[x][o][x][o][x]

This is utterly stupid. This is stupid and I don't want to take part in it. It's one thing for people to like my music, it's another thing entirely to meet the obsessive freaks that run this world right into hell.

Yamato Ishida sat contemplating this whole stupid "meet-and-greet" thing for a long time. Why the hell did he have to meet these freaks?? Milky WAS a freak, of course HE wouldn't have a problem with it. And Taichi was ALWAYS out with his weirdo girlfriend anyway, and so he probably just thought this would make her like him even more. Craig and Jake... they're indifferent biased pigs. Who cares what they think? Yamato certainly didn't. And forget whoever thought he should.

Never-the-less, Yamato found himself waiting for the twerps to arrive. The dumb twerps that he was now responsible for. Why was he always responsible for everything, anyway? It's not that he was irresponsible, but... it just kind of got on his nerves. But, since it was his duty to obey, he just... obeyed.

Samantha looked around the room shyly, as her eyes lit upon Yamato Ishida, sitting in the corner, staring right back at her.

[x][o][x][o][x]

Yamato sat paralyzed as a blonde girl blinked oddly at him from across the room. 'So this must be Samantha...' he thought. His lips curled into a dry smile. She's cute. Wait... scratch that... she's one of those stupid 'OH GOODNESS YOU'RE SUCH A COOL GUY' fangirls, isn't she? Why else would she be here? And what could I possibly find in her that I couldn't find within myself??

Yamato stood up. "Samantha, right. Where's your pals?"

Samantha blinked a couple of times. "I-I can't find Shannon. And Clay's behind me." As she spoke, a young boy with Strawberry Blonde hair entered the room and smiled.

Yamato smiled sweetly at Samantha. "You're a friend of Shannon's?? Well isn't that just peachy." He turned around and called out "YAGAMI!! Get out here!!" How could Samantha not know? Her little friend was Taichi's GiRLFRiEND. This is too good to be true. Just too good to be true. She's a gorgeous girl, all right, but that doesn't mean this Samantha girl will win my heart just yet.

Taichi spun out of another room with Shannon right behind him. I watched as Samantha went from bewilderment to shock, and from shock to dazed bewilderment again. "SAMANTHA!!" Shannon called with a frown. "I was going to tell you!!" Hah. Sure that little freak was. She probably didn't even think of that Sam girl when she was with her one, her only, Taichi. They're pigs, the both of them, why would that stupid girl Shannon even WANT friends when she could spend the day with a rockstar? Hell, I'd trade my life for hers ANY DAY. At least she has friends, and a private life, and doesn't have to spend her life with a bunch of nasty pigs.

Samantha looked at me without even acknowledging Shannon and immediately blushed. "Sorry... This took me a little by surprise."

I shook my head elegantly. "No problem. And we weren't properly introduced." I grabbed her hand and kissed it lightly. "Yamato Ishida. It's a pleasure to meet you."

And somehow I found myself go numb.

[x][o][x][o][x]

'He-he kissed my hand' is all that ran through Samantha's mind for a while. He actually kissed her. He had actually, matter-of-factly, kissed her.

[x][o][x][o][x]

Is it possible that she's been what I've been searching for all along??
