A/N: Well, here is another one of those 'author's notes' BEFORE the chapter. Don't you love me for those? Haha.... probably not. ::Cough:: Anyway, I honestly don't know how long it took me to get this chapter up, but I tried to get it up as fast as possible. I mean... I was on vacation for like a month... and then cheerleading. So I've been busy. But please forgive me for the delay!! DON'T STORM MY HOUSE! *__*
Anywayz... on with the story!
Ch. 12: Simple Information
"Just an admirer, huh?" Mimi smiled, placing a pale hand on her hip. "Well, it's nice to meet you Tsumi. I'm Tachikawa Mimi."
"It's nice to meet you too, Miss Tachikawa." Tsumi charmed, reaching for her hand. Taking it in his he lifted it to his lips and sleeked it smoothly. Mimi nodded politely before she pulled back her hand.
"Well aren't we confident." She smiled clasping her hands behind her back. Tsumi slightly shrugged and walked closer, able to stand next to her. Mimi flung her body around once more, facing the sea. The was filled with mixed colors between blue and black, which were otherwise stars that illuminated the clouds that masked them. He watched as the silent wind rustled through Mimi's long hair, making the curls bounce. Her body slinked down to the wooden floor and swung her feet out from under body and let them hang over the edge of the pier, as she let her toes sway against the water. Tsumi knelt down next to her, his elbows on his knees for balance.
"Your shoes are going to get wet." He stated the obvious, making her giggle.
"That normally happens when you touch water." She laughed. "But just for you..." She started saying as she reached for her shoes,leaning over her knees. She soon felt a hand on the right side of her waist, holding her from falling into the cold water, she stopped moving for a second as thoughs he wasn't sure what she should do. But she quickly continued and slipped her shoes off of her feet, bringing them up to the wood. "Thanks.."
"It definitely wasn't a problem." He said, slowly sliding his hand off her waist and around bare back, and finally off her body completely. She didn't seem to be phazed by the way that he touched her, but maybe she just hadn't shown it in an expression. "I can't remember seeing you around here..."
"Um.. I just moved here..well, again." She said, talking with her hands in motion. She smiled and scratched her head slightly before she flipped her brown hair over her shoulder again. "I lived in the United States for five years, but before that time I was born here and lived here for ten years."
"Was it because of your parents that you had to leave Japan or...? You did live in Odaiba before right?" Tsumi made conversation while Mimi stared off at the moon that rose high above the water.
"Hai.. I lived in Odaiba for ten years and then my father got a job in New York City." She frowned, "He's a cop."
It was an incredible miracle that Mimi happened to miss the shocked look on Tsumi's face. Though he tried to hide it, the shock still crawled back and showed anyway. 'Cop? How is her father a cop... when she... she's associated along with the Dragon clan...' Mimi noticed his silence and turned to face him, watching his face seriously.
"Tsumi? Something wrong?" She asked, pulling her toes out of the water and crossing them indian-style on the pier. Color finally flooded back to his face as she asked that.
"Why would something be wrong?" He asked. Mimi looked at him confused. "I mean.. I've got the most gorgeous women at this party talking to me alone on a pier. What do I have to be upset about?"
"Ok..I guess nothing. But your face just a second ago told me otherwise.." She folded her arms right below her breasts, Tsumi taking note of this smiled and moved closer.
"I was just wondering how I got so lucky." He mused, when Mimi suddenly started shaking from holding in laughter, which didn't last long. Mimi burst out laughing within seconds. Tsumi, obviously confused at this, watched as she nearly fell over laughing, clutching her stomach.
"Your going to start using pick up lines aren't you!!!" She yelled out in laughter, remembering earlier that night when Sora and her were mocking Tai. The pick ups line that were said flooded back to her mind as she stood up from her seat on the pier. From behind her she could hear flirtacious giggles. Mimi turned around slowly and saw Michael talking with some girls.
"Ladies... please." Michael tried to herd them off of him, but was apparently having some trouble. Mimi groaned loudly, and narrowed her eyes at him. Pushing up from her hands, she stood up and placed her tiny feet in her large shoes. She must've been short in the first place, because she grew when she put on the shoes, but she was still inches shorter than Tsumi. She sighed at this too, but walked off angrily towards Michael and the cloud of women surrounding him. She folded her arms below her chest and leaned all her weight on her right leg, the look of pure anger flashing through her eyes. Without a word said between the two, Michael slowly turned around to Mimi.
There were several girls between the two, but they just stood and stared at each other, while others proceeded to grope him. Michael remained quiet, a face of apology. Mimi grummbled to herself and stood up straight, uncrossing her arms.
"Get the freakin' heck off of him!" She screamed as loud as she could, the phrase filled with the anger that had been held up. Many looked at her, but didn't stop rubbing up against him. Three girls turned their bodies to face her, not looking too thrilled about Mimi's interruption. One, who was wearing a low cut v-neck shirt and tight capris, walked closer to Mimi and stood close to her.
"What do you think your doing?" The girl started. "You think you can just come over here and tell us to stop doing something? I'd like to see you back that up..."
Mimi looked at the girl was talking quite loudly, while only standing not even an inch away. "You'll back off if you know what's good for you." Mimi toned, the girl not moving.
"Oh.. so your gonna 'try' and back it up?" She laughed.
"I'm not in the mood to try anything right now." Mimi said, moving only to cross her arms again. The girl smirked slightly and stepped back a few paces before walking back to the other two. She nodded to them as a signal to leave. Mimi face softened slightly, not long enough though, she glared back at Michael. "All of you! GO!"
Most of them left, leaving one girl behind...
Red hair.
Mimi noticed the red head all too quickly as the girl was linking arms with Michael. Mimi moved closer, now that the swarm of girls were gone.
"Madison... didn't you hear me?" Mimi said coldly, walking in front of the Madison and Michael.
"Listen Tachikawa.. what you did could ruin your reputation at this school, and you wouldn't want anyone to know about our little incident, would you?"
Mimi laughed aloud, not watching Madison. "Haha, see, there's this little problem in your plan to bribe me. If you tell people that I beat the crap out of you at one of the most important soccer games, how will that make you look? Plus, no one would believe that I could do something like that. Especially not the most popular snot in school... right?"
Mimi was sure to aggrivate Madison's last nerve, it was almost too easy. It was this kind of pleasure that got Mimi into trouble... and she knew it.
"Madison, I don't want to hurt you again. So please unlink you arm from my boyfriend and walk away." Mimi said, her face softer. 'Matt...'
"Whatever Tachikawa... but just remember.. I have something you'll never have and that you've always wanted..." Madison said flatly, straightening her thin white blouse. "Yamato."
Michael stood in disbelief of the words that had come out of Madison's mouth. Though he hadn't said anything, Mimi could feel the tension that Madison had stirred up before she boldly walked away, waving her hips.
'Don't you hurt him, Tsukino...' Mimi threatened in her head. She turned to face Michael, seeing the anger and confusion in his face. "Michael... I.."
"Don't say anything to me." He stopped her. "Just tell me do you like him?"
"No." 'I don't like him..?'
"Then why did she say it!"
"Because that's her boyfriend and she wants us to fight! She hates me and would do anything to hurt me... including something that has to do with you." 'Plus Matt is one of my best friends... holy crap.. this is getting too confusing..'
Michael remained silent, glancing over at the dock again. He watched the moon for a while before Mimi looked back.
'Where did..?' She asked herself, puzzled. 'Oh well... that was a nice conversation. Haha. Nice meeting you, admirer.'
"Michael please... don't believe what she's says.." Mimi begged, moving closer to him. He nodded slightly and pulled her to him.
'Wow... what a rush..' Mimi thought lightly as she rested her head on Michael's chest. Michael tightened his hold on her, still staring off into the night.
Tsumi.
The night began to fade away as quickly as it had come, the moon disappearing behind the illuminated clouds. The sun started to slowly rise over the sea, peeking it's head up ever so lightly. I sat on the top of the hill, laying on the roof of my car, watching the sky turn from black to purple and pink and orange. I leaned over and reached my arms through the open windows of my car and grabbed my laptop that was laying on the seat. Pulling it up to me, I opened it.
"Tachikawa Mimi" I stated to no one in particular, typing her name into the search engine. 323 Related Matches were found for her name, none of which were related to 'her'. "Well, I might as well start on the report"
I pulled up blank notepad on the silvery laptop, typing her name at the top of the page.
Tachikawa Mimi:
Age 16
Father used to be a cop in the area surrounding Odaiba to Tokyo for a series of nearly 20 years, but soon moved his homemaker wife and daughter and toddler son to a place which needed more cops. A place where crime was less at the time, New York City. Tachikawa's brother is now 10 years of age and is still living with his parents in America. Mimi on the other hand was moved back to Odaiba earlier this month for unknown reasons. Tachikawa is harbored at her widowed Grandmothers estate in the suburbs of Odaiba.
More information will be provided at a later date...
I then moved my finger on the mouse pad over to the print symbol at the top of the screen, clicking it, a paper was then pushed out of the back of the laptop, providing me with the nescessary information on printed paper. I fold the paper in half and shoved it into a nearby envelope, closing it and covering the white front with pen: "CRAWFORD"
An evil smile crossed me as I climbed to my feet on the roof of the car, preparing to jump to the ground, being as I was ready to go back to headquarters. I jumped in the car, starting up the engine, not bothering to play music, it just didn't seem important to play music loudly down the road.
Matt.
'What a surprise that I haven't seen Madison yet.. she's probably all over some other guy like she doesn't even have a boyfriend..' I kept saying to myself as I continued to drink my Mountain Dew, pretending to listen to the group of girls that had come over to talk to me. This is the time in my life when I wish that I weren't popular. 'I just want to go hang out with Sora and Mimi.. they're the only true friends I have besides Darien... speaking of Darien.. where is the freak?'
I looked around, trying to find some salvation to get me from these hornet like women. Was it any surprise that when I found Darien, he was making out? No. I pushed myself back from the group around me, "Sorry, I have some important business to attend to. ALONE." I smiled and casually turned around, facing the direction that Darien was in.
"New girl?" I said, coming up to him. He moaned and turned his head to face me, the girl that was straddling him still sucking on his neck. "Geez.. you never stop, do you?"
"I try not to."
"You know man, it's a shock you haven't gotten Herpes or something. Or wait, have you already?" I grinned, knowing what the girl's reaction would be, I waited silently as she stopped moving all together and sat up.
"That is so sick! YOU JERK!" She immediately stood up, and grabbed her purse, walking away disgusted. Darien held his hands up in the arm, in surrender to me.
"That is the third time you've done that to me! People are going to think that I really do have Herpes!!" Darien yelled, slouching back down, folding his arms over his bare chest. "Plus, you can't get Herpes from making out."
"Your such an idiot, yes you can. Didn't you listen at all when that girl who had AIDs came to the school to talk to us?" I said, taking a seat on the bench next to him. "Don't make me get all educational on you, man!"
"Fine, fine, fine... just don't lecture me.." Darien stated. I looked around, checking out who was here, waiting to see someone new. 'Mimi, Michael..' I saw Michael hold her in his arms, pulling her to his body. She was hugging him back... At least she really has feelings for him. But she kind of ignored him while we were at her house. She has such confusing relationships.
"The new girl?"
"What?" I asked.
"You like the new chick? Tachi... Takinaw.. I don't know.. but you like her, ne?"
"No. By the way, her name is Tachikawa Mimi."
"You even know her name! You can't tell me you don't have the hotts for her." He persisted.
"Dude, I've known Mimi my entire life, she moved away from Odaiba to America 5 and half years ago. So she's not really new to most people." I added. Darien still not sure what to think.
"But who's the guy she's with?"
".. Um, her boyfriend from New York City. He came to visit her..."
"And your trying to tell me that you don't care about that?"
".. Right. I don't care..."
