What the girl wants part 3

Note: I'm sooo sorry it took me all this time to update! Sorry, sorry, sorry! I just couldn't come up with any good ideas, I didn't feel like writing. But I forced myself to do it and this is the way it turned out. (Stinkee) Uhm, anyways. I would want to thank Aoi Tenshi - because she is the one who send this song to me. I know she wanted it in the second chapter, but I thought it fitted better with this little chappie. Anyways, thanx!

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon yada yada ya. I don't own the song either yada yada ya. Whatever, lets just get on with it.

Dedication: To Hanna. Why? I just want to dedicate it to Hanna, that's all. Because she is a true friend who'll always there. Because she is so fun to be with. Because we come up with the best jokes together. That's why!

Chapter 3 - Cunfused yet?

Next day in school, everything started out normal. Mimi came as late as possible so she wouldn't have to deal with all the guys running after her. She met up with Yamato in the hall, by their lockers.

"Hi sweetie", she greeted him and gave him a small peck on the cheek. He didn't smile or anything, he just nodded at her and then turned back into his own world, deep in thoughts. Mimi looked up at him with a frown. "What's the matter Matt?" He looked at her and sighed heavily and then put on a smile.

"Nothing. Look I have to get to class, catch you later?" Mimi nodded slowly, a bit confused and followed him with her gaze as he left her in the hall. She turned back to her locker and pulled out the books she needed. There was something wrong with Matt. It was weird, though, he was acting quite normal just the day before.

"Lets just face it Mimi, you never had any luck with guys", she told herself with a sigh as she slammed her locker shut. Luck in gambling, no luck in love. Well, no luck in gambling either to be honest. And she always felt as if. Yamato was hiding something for her. The real Yamato. He wouldn't let her meet his family. His dad was barely home when they were at his place, and he didn't want to talk about his brother. Maybe it wasn't much, but it was as if he was only letting her be a part of a minor part of his life. You're tripping on your own thoughts Mimi.

I don't know how

Or where to start

Here we're standing again

And I see now

From where we are

That our roads has come to an end

Though we've come this far

I don't know why

But I still can't see who you are

She glanced at the clock on the wall and gasped. "Oh my gosh, I have already started math", she yelped and set off to her classroom. In the other end of the school. "I knew I shouldn't have come this late today", she whined as she tried to run in high heels. "And I knew I shouldn't have chosen the shoes with the high heels!" As she finally reached her classroom she pulled the door open in a speed, which made it slam against the wall. All the students in the room looked up at her from their books, and the teacher stood up from his seat.

"Miss Tachikawa, it's true what they say then. Fine people are always fashionably late", he said with an evil grin and put his hands in his sides.

"Gomen ne, Mr Takamine", she said quietly and looked down at her feet. "I couldn't find my books. It will never happen again." The teacher just shook his head and told her to sit down. As Mimi made her way to a bench he returned to his seat and pulled up a notebook. He opened it and pulled out a pen from his pocket. He made a mark in the book under the title "Excuses; Tachikawa Mimi". All the students had a place in his notebooks for excuses but Miss Tachikawa filled almost half of it. The one she used the most was "I couldn't find my books" but "the heel on one of my shoes broke so I had to go back home and change shoes" was also very popular.

Back to Mimi, our little princess was already gone in her thoughts as the class proceeded. She wasn't thinking about numbers at all, except from her number one. Matt. What's wrong with him, she asked herself again. Maybe I've done something to upset him, or said something stupid. She tried to remember what they talked about yesterday as they watched the movie, but she couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. Maybe he's just in a bad mood, he'll cheer up by lunch! With that explanation she started concentrating on other important things. Such as shopping.

* * *

Waking up by the sound of the bell, Yamato looked around him confused. It was the last class, and people were getting ready to go home.

"And for tomorrow I want you all to take a look at pages 45 to 52, we will work with this concept for the rest of the week and then continue on next week." Yamato didn't understand what the teacher was talking about, but it was probably homework since all the other students sighed heavily, and a few loud groans and objections were heard. He packed up his things and left the classroom. He has been thinking about other things a lot lately, mainly Mimi. He was crazy in her, but for some reason he felt that he couldn't trust her. She lied to him, nothing big really, but it disturbed him. And it was as if. As if she wanted to change him. Maybe it was just a feeling, maybe it was Mimi's personality. The more he thought about it, the more errors he found in their relationship.

"What relationship, Yama? She's playing you like a marionette!" He opened his locker and pulled out his bag before closing the door violently. "This has to end."

I don't want you to cry

Don't want us to say goodbye

But I know that we're falling apart

I don't need your lies

And if you don't sympathize

Tell me how will I know who you are

He walked through the school, not noticing the persons bumping into him or the girls calling his name. He was determined to find one person in that school, and that person was Mimi. She was easy to find most of the time, but it seemed to have changed for some reason. He stopped one of the cheerleading girls whom he knew had a solid boyfriend. At least there are some guys not affected by Mimi's charm.

"Have you seen Mimi around", he asked her with an impatient tone. She nodded and pointed towards the library.

"In there, with Izumi Koushiro." Yamato couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Pardon?"

"Yes, some school project in computer's class I believe", the girl said and shrugged. "But I have to go now, I have to meet up with Tam", she said and then waved as she ran off. Tam, obviously the girl's boyfriend, was a smart fellow. He had found himself a smart and pretty girl who wasn't chased by more than half the male population.

"Lets see what they teach the students in computer class then", he said to himself and entered the library. Beside all the books, they had computers standing in four rows in the back of the hall. He could see Mimi sitting by one of the computers, and that redhead Koushiro leaning on the chair she sat on to get a good look at the computer screen. Or a good look at Mimi. He stormed up to them and shut down the computer without saying a word.

"What are you doing", Mimi shrieked and stood up quickly. Koushiro lost his balance as the weight on the chair vanished and fell to the floor. "Matt? Why did you do that for?"

"Why? Why are you goofing around with that computer geek", he said angrily, pointing at Koushiro who still sat on the floor. Mimi threw a glance at Koushiro and then turned to Yamato again.

"Are you mad? Koushiro and I are only friends! One of the few guys I actually can be with, without them trying to hit on me! I can see you beating off the other guys with a stick, but if you hit Koushiro I'll hit you!" Yamato clenched his fists as he growled lowly.

"If that's the way you want it, then fine with me! Consider this so called relationship over", he said and then turned around and left that bitch with her redhead geek. Man, I can't believe how stupid I have been! Couldn't I see how she deceived me? Couldn't I see how she betrayed me? Couldn't I see how much I loved her? He stopped in his tracks and looked down on the floor. No matter how angry he was, he still loved her. And for a while there he actually thought that she loved him back. Was it all lies? Was it a misunderstanding? Then he remembered the way she had been talking about Koushiro. "If that's the way she wants it. Then let it be that way", he told himself and then continued walking through the school.

* * *

Mimi was breathing fast and heavy, her fists were clenched and her eyes where almost burning with an angry fire.

"I can't believe it", she said angrily and turned to Koushiro - still sitting on the floor. "If he had doubts in our relationship then why didn't he tell me earlier? Saved us both a lot of pain. That idiot", she grumbled and helped Koushiro up.

"Maybe he was acting stupid, but do you know why he was acting that way", Koushiro asked and dusted of his clothes.

"No, of course not! He never tells me anything!"

"That may be the case, but I am almost certain of why he acted like that. He is scared, Mimi. You are trying to get to know him, the real Yamato, and that's what makes him so scared. He has never let anyone close before. If you are in for another try, my advice is to talk out about your worries and thoughts. How hard it may seem you have to get deep down into Yamato. And in the same time you have to let Yamato get to know the real you. He may think that you are lying to him, but tell him from your heart that you're not lying and he'll believe you." Mimi stared at Koushiro.

"You've been taking psychiatry classes again, haven't you?"

"Yes I have. Sorry."

"It's okay. Maybe you have a point." Maybe it was worth another try, she truly loved Yamato. She wanted him back, but after the way he acted against her, she wasn't sure she could just swallow her pride and talk to him. And even if she talked to him about it, didn't mean that he wanted her back. Maybe he wanted it that way. Free at last. Maybe it was too late, they weren't meant to be.

It's too late now

We've gone this far

To see what's hidden within

Though we said that we'd never part

Maybe I've been trying to hard

To believe in love

I don't know why

But still I can't see who you are

"You have any other smart advice?" Koushiro shrugged and smiled faintly.

"Don't take drugs?"

"Koushiro!"

"Okay, okay. Maybe you should look around for professional help about your guy-problems", he said teasingly and arched a brow.

"Maybe I should", Mimi said, dead serious. "I can't live life with hundreds of men chasing after me. I mean, one or two isn't all that wrong but this is just. Way too much." She sighed and took her bag. "I guess we'll just have to finish the work some other day. I have some other things to do." Koushiro watched her silently from where he was standing with his arms crossed.

"I see. I'm sorry if I caused any trouble Mimi", he said and let his arms fall to his sides. He seemed to be a little bit embarrassed. "If it wasn't for me, you and Matt would still be a couple."

"Yes, probably. But it wouldn't last any long either way. We have too many issues to work out." Koushiro nodded and put a hand on her shoulder.

"If you need to talk, you know I'm always here." Mimi nodded in reply and smiled warmly.

"Thanks Koushiro, you're a true friend", she said and then flung her arms around him in a quick bear hug before running out of the library.

"Friend", Koushiro said and looked down on his shoes still wearing a faint blush on his cheeks. "Just a friend."

* * *

Yamato was heading home, with his mind full of thoughts. He believed that he never had been that confused in all his life. He wanted Mimi back more than anything in life, but he just couldn't for his life see how he could get her back.

"After what I did to her earlier today I should be happy if she evenr looks at me again", he told himself and buried his hands in his pockets. Why couldn't just one thing go right in his life?

"Yamato! Hey Yamato, wait up!" He stopped at the sound of the familiar voice and turned around slowly. A pair of arms flung around him and held him in a tight grip. "I've been calling your name for ages big bro'", Takeru said and let go with a big grin. "Lost in your thoughts again?" Yamato felt that he had to hold up a brave smile in front of his younger brother.

"You can say that", he said with a low chuckle. Takeru furrowed his eyebrows and looked at his brother with a wondering look.

"What's the matter Matt", he asked, with a concerned tone in his voice. For being a thirteen-year-old boy he was very observant. Yamato sighed and shoved his hands in his pockets again.

"Problems with Mimi", he muttered and kicking away a stone. "I broke up with her even though. Even though I still love her." Takeru's eyes grew wide, and filled up with sympathy.

"Oh, Yamato", he groaned and slumped his shoulders. "I know how crazy you were about that girl! It was always Mimi did this and Mimi said that. What went wrong?"

"I just. I don't know Takeru. A lot of things went wrong. When I broke up I was sure of that it was all her fault. Now I'm not so sure anymore."

"I guess you can say that you're both to blame", Takeru said and gave Yamato an encouraging pat on the shoulder. "It's a shame, for such a lovely couple. And I was so looking forward to meet her too!" Yamato smiled and looked up at his younger brother.

"I'm sure you were", he said and gave him a playful nudge. "But I'm afraid that after what I did to her, she will despise blonds for the rest of her life. She will probably marry a brunette." And what scares me even more is that I might be right.

I don't want you to cry

Don't want us to say goodbye

But I know that we're falling apart

I don't need your lies

And if you don't sympathize

Tell me how will I know who you are

"Anyways, can you help me out with something", Takeru said a little embarrassed and scratched his head nervously. Yamato smirked and laid a hand on his brother's shoulder.

"Of course I can, I'm your brother. Now tell me. What's her name?" Takeru's chin dropped to the ground, but he soon collected himself enough to get out a few stuttering words.

"H-how did y-you know?" Yamato shrugged and studied his nails, as he played cool.

"It's my job, I'm Yama the man and nothing escapes my eye. Now, fill me in with the details." Takeru nodded and swallowed hard before he started.

"Well, I don't exactly know her or anything. She doesn't even go to the same school as I, actually she's in your school."

"Really? What's her name, maybe I know her."

"That's the problem! I don't know her name! But all I can think about is her, I promise you Matt! From now on I believe in love at first sight! Our eyes met, her hazelbrown in mine. She was so beautiful, so serene yet playful. Her hair swayed in the wind, and she smiled at me. Not just an ordinary smile, it was so warm and loving. As if she knew me or something!" Yamato grinned and shook his head.

"You've fallen hard on this one, bro, I can tell that. It would have been easier if you at least had spoken to her once or twice before, but the first thing you have to do from now is to make contact. Eye contact doesn't count."

"Darn", Takeru muttered. Then he looked up helplessly at Yamato. "But I'm too shy! I'll stutter, and then I won't come up with anything to say. I'll blush and she will just laugh at me."

"Nonsense! She will adore you! Look at you, you're practically a copy of me! And name one girl who can resist the excellent Yama the man?" Takeru opened his mouth but before he could answer Yamato interrupted. "Excactly. Now, listen to me. The next time you see her, make sure she knows you're there. If she looks busy, then wait for another moment, but if she's free you're good to go. Try to relax, girls like natural guys who can be themselves."

"Yeah right, as if this Yama the man thing is the real you?"

"You aren't paying attention student", Yamato said between his gritted teeth. "Smile a lot, look into her eyes and."

* * *

Mimi opened the door and popped in her head. It was a small store, which was lightened up by a dim light. It smelled strongly from the different candles and incant placed around the store, and a weird music was heard in the background. No one there, Mimi thought, almost relieved. Better go.

"Aah, I didn't know you would be coming anytime soon, my child", a voice suddenly said. A woman came out from a room at the back and stepped in behind the cash register. "If I had known I would have made some tee for us. Come along now, lets not make the spirits wait any longer." Mimi stared at the woman as she disappeared into the room again. "Are you coming child", the woman asked from inside the room. Mimi looked around her, shrugged and then followed the woman into the room. It was rather small, but enough for the low table and the two piles of pillows on each side of it. The smell was even stronger in there, and the music was playing on a tape recorder standing on a shelf. The woman was already sitting on one of the pillow piles, and was waiting for Mimi to sit down on the other side. She took place and waited for the woman to say anything. What was going to happen? Taro-reading? Palm-reading? Book-reading?

"Uhm. How did you know I was coming today", Mimi asked hesitantly and glanced at the door. If the woman started to act too creepy, it would be easy to run out of there.

"The crystal ball told me you would come, because of the trouble a young man was causing you." Mimis eyes almost bulged out of their sockets.

"Did the crystal ball tell you that", she whispered and looked down on the lump on the table. It had to be the crystal ball, covered with a cloak. The woman pulled away the cloak and took up the lunch box standing under it.

"I'm so sorry, I was going to have a late lunch", the woman said and smiled as she put away her lunch. "Lets see now, ah here it is!" She pulled out the crystal ball from under the table and placed it in the middle of the table. "Now lets see what these boy troubles are all about." I think I already know, Mimi thought as she leaned forward to look into the crystal ball. I really miss Matt, but. Maybe it's for the best.

Don't worry

I promise

It's for the better

So I think we should let it go now

And maybe we will find love again

"Aha, I can see it clearly now." Mimi leaned closer trying to see whatever the woman was seeing. "Mhm, yes. I understand everything now." Mimi leaned so close that her nose almost hit the crystal ball itself, but she still couldn't see anything. No pictures, no scenes, no nothing! Not even shadows or light thingies jumping around in there. The woman continued mumbling nonsense as Mimi leaned back and waited for her to finish. "Ah! We loosed contact", she said and looked up. "Very interesting my child."

"What did it say?"

"You're having problems with your love life, aren't you?" Boy, is it that obvious, Mimi thought sarcastic. You have only said that three times now. "A certain boy, whom you are deeply in love with." Go on. "He has betrayed you, you feel hurt." To say the least. "But you have other admirers too." You can say that again. And again. And again. "You still love the boy who betray you, but he is jealous because of all your other admirers." Is that so?

"I see. And what should I do to make everything right between us?" The woman stared at Mimi, almost with an insulted face expression.

"I'm a psychic, my child, not a love doctor", she spat and crossed her arms.

"But you have only told me the past! I already know my past, I was there myself", Mimi said angrily, getting fed up with the whole thing. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all. The woman looked at her, still with that insulted look, but soon she gave in.

"Okay, but it'll cost you extra."

"Extra? I wasn't supposed to do this from the start!"

"Okay, original prize but no more fuzz!" Mimi shut her mouth and watched as the woman looked into the crystal ball again. This is nothing but cheap fraud bumbo jumbo shi. Mimi didn't even get the time to finish the sentence in her head as the crystal started to glow. The womans eyes grew wide as she stared at the crystal. "What the fu- I mean. It has never been glowing this. strong. before. The spirits must be very eager to contact you my child." Mimi was staring at the crystal. She could tell from the psychics face expression that this wasn't supposed to be happening.

"I see something", Mimi squealed and leaned forward.

"But that's my line", the woman said with a high-pitched voice as she tried to stay away from the ball. She looked up from the ball and glared at Mimi. "Are you trying to steal my job?" But Mimi didn't listen, she looked into the bright light. She wasn't blinded, instead she saw pictures.

"A dark figure, hiding behind some trees. Two blond brothers fighting, both wanting the same thing. A group of running young men, under some sort of spell, and then a star." The pictures faded and so did the light. The woman sat leaning backwards, staring at the crystal ball.

"Uhm, excuse me ma'm? How much will this cost?"

"Nothing, just get out of here. And don't tell anyone about what happened", the woman yelled from inside, as Mimi already was out on the street. She was shaking in her whole body, as if she was cold or something. She just couldn't stop quivering. She looked around her, and noticed a dark dressed person, looking at her from across the street. When their gazes crossed, the person took flight. Mimi watched as, whoever it was, ran down the street bumping into people and then jumped on the bus. It was the same dark figure that she had seen in the crystal ball, she was positive.

"Why does all this happen to me? Ever growing fanclub, love trouble and now dark figures spying on me. And of course, the everyday magical phenomenon's that always occur to me. What have I done to deserve all this?"

* * *

"What have I done to deserve all this?"

"Yamato, stop over doing it and get to work."

"But."

"Not buts young man, you have to choose between this or cleaning your room."

"Yeah, yeah whatever." He continued grumbling as he started doing the dishes. He didn't care if it was his turn, he wanted to go out for a while to collect his thoughts. After a while he noticed that washing the dishes also made you clear your thoughts. If I even get Mimi to talk with me, she'll only scream or start to cry. I don't want to make her cry, therefore I'll stay away until I come up with the perfect excuse. He wasn't sure when he decided to ask Mimi to take him back, he just came into that track. Maybe it was when he had been talking to his brother, the younger blond's optimism did always seem to rub off on Yamato.

I don't want you to cry

Don't want us to say goodbye

But I know that we're falling apart

I don't need your lies

And if you don't sympathize

Tell me how will I know who you are

After finishing the dishes, he left the apartment for the park. The sun was starting to set, and the mixed with the colors of the city. From the park you had a great view over the whole thing. The sun and the city together were coloring the sky pink. Pink. It had always been her favorite color. He sat down in the grass and sighed heavily. The more he struggled to find a way out of that mess he called his life, the more he sank right down into it. But he wasn't going to give up, not Yamato. Suddenly he heard a squeaking sound, not the ones you hear from toys or squirrels. It sounded more like the squeak from a broken training shoe. Suddenly he noticed how silent everything was, except from that squeaking sound. The birds had flown away, the wind had stopped rustling the trees and there were no other people around. He could hear the sounds of the city from far away, but it was as if it was in an other dimension. The hairs in his neck rose as he could hear a steady breathing. Coming closer and closer. He turned around, just in time to look at a tall person dressed in all black.

"The city is beautiful at night, isn't it", the person said before hitting him in the head with something hard. He fell to the ground unconscious, not aware how the person started to drag him through the park. When waking up he didn't understand the situation. He couldn't really remember what had happened. He sat in an almost empty room, tied to a chair and with duck tape covering his mouth. He had a killer head ache, but that was one of his smaller issues.

"Hmmf mmhff hmmhff", he mumbled, trying to say something.

"Ah, I see that you are awake. Finally, you took your fair time." His eyes widened in fair as he realized whom it was. Stepping out from the shadows, the person was revealed.

"Mhihh shuuhhm!" (It's you!)

[Insert dramatic music here]

I know, I know. hasty ending on bad chappie. But I'm tired god damn it! Anyway, I'm going to rewrite this whole fic later so it won't stay this way. AND I'll make the first chapter link more to the others, or whatever. Just review please! I know it didn't turn out any good, but that's what you get when you force it. *cries a bit* Okay, I'm all right! It wasn't that bad was it? *Ducks away from flying rotten fruit* Behave you people, if you didn't like the story why are you still reading this stupid little note? And why am I still writing this stupid little note? O_O No idea actually.

Ja ne!
