Note: Alright! This is the Second Part of My Prized Possession. It is
more of a Taiora fic. Matt and Mimi are still the main characters,
but here and there, Sora and Tai are introduced. This fic was kind of
hard to write because I didn't want to make anyone sound mean. If
anyone does sound a little too rude, please tell me. Enjoy!
Part
2: Chapter 4:
I loved Tai. Nothing else mattered. That hug
symbolized our love and boy did I ever love him. He was my love and
nothing could change that. I looked through the crack in the tent.
Matt and Mimi were kissing each other and their cheeks were streaked
with tears.
I smiled and went back to kissing Tai. "I love
you Tai." I struggled to say in between kisses.
"Me
too..." He kissed me some more.
Gentle rain had begun to
sprinkle down. Tai and I didn't notice it until a big puddle
splashed over his head. Matt and Mimi were laughing and Matt held his
hands cupped to catch little rain drops, than splash them in Tai's
face. Matt laughed, his bandages slipping off. Mimi and I giggled.
Tai looked stern then burst into laughter.
The lake over by
the desert was filling up and Mimi and I were invited to go for a
midnight dip. Tai and Matt took each of our hands and led us over to
the stream.
Mimi POV
I laughed with Sora as the boys
led us over to the lake. This was a real treat. Things had turned out
better than I thought they would! I was about to open my eyes when
Matt covered them with his hand. "Wait here you two. And DON'T
open your eyes, got it?" Matt laughed. "Be back soon!" Their
voices trailed off and I felt my way over to Sora.
"What are
they doing?" I asked laughing.
"Dunno," She wondered
giggling. Sora stepped over to me and dug her hands into my face
accidentally.
"Sora!" I laughed.
"Sorry! I wonder
if they are planning something really special for us."
"Don't
know, but they better hurry, I'm afraid I'm gonna fall in the
water any time now"
Just when I calmed down, something
rushed up behind me laughing and grabbed my waist. I felt myself
being rushed forward. I heard Sora screaming behind me. I couldn't
open my eyes, I felt too nervous. I plunged into some cool water and
opened my eyes frantically. I dove up and saw Matt.
"Surprise!"
He shouted. My dress was wet and my socks were completely icky
feeling. "What the?-" I laughed and hugged Matt. I playfully
dunked his head under the water. He came back up with his hair
soaking and his spikes flattened over his forehead.
"Wait a
minute!" He dove back down and I felt my shoes being tugged off and
my socks slipping off my feet. His head bobbed back up and he handed
me my shoes. "Thanks Matt." I took them and threw them over my
shoulder, back into the water.
"You're very welcome." He
smiled and crouched over in the cool pond. "Get on my
back."
"What?" I asked in disbelief.
"Get on my
back." He smiled and I shifted myself onto his shoulders. He rode
me around the water, through a passage, away from Tai and Sora. I
looked back and winked at Sora who was also riding on Tai's back.
He was also taking her down a passage.
"Matt, where are you
taking me?" I looked ahead and noticed the rain creating soft
ripples in the water.
"Somewhere special." he replied.
We
had finally reached a dead end where a waterfall flowed calmly over
some jagged rocks. Seated there, was a huge piece of a canyon. It was
the part of the cliff that had broken off!
I looked at Matt
dreamily. My hair was drenched and my clothes were soaked. But I
really didn't care. The moonlight danced across his face as we both
stared at the rock in silence.
The chirping of crickets was
echoing throughout the forest. My stomach suddenly growled loudly.
"Oh! Mimi are you hungry?" Matt looked at me wide- eyed.
"A
little bit!" I held my stomach in my hands. Boy was I
starving.
Sora POV
I sat beside Tai, staring out at the
lake stretching for a thousand miles. The moonlight shone over the
water and the stars twinkled in the night sky. I looked over to Tai.
He was also staring out, a small smile across his face. His eyes
gleamed, and he looked immersed in a wonderful dream. I didn't want
to disturb him so I looked back to the lake. I cuddled my legs up to
my chest and shivered a little. It was getting cold now. Tai noticed
my movement and looked over to me.
"Are you cold Sora?"
Tai held my hand in his.
I looked over to him. "Yeah... just
a little..."
Tai moved closer to me and wrapped his arm
around my waist. He kissed me unexpectedly on the cheek. I felt warm
and bubbly inside while Tai slowly moved his lips off my face. I
blushed wildly, I could feel the warmth travel up my legs, creep into
my arms and rest in my cheeks.
"I feel better now..." I
slowly moved closer to him and touched my lips to his. Tai gently
moved his arm around my shoulders and onto my neck. This felt weird.
It had never happened to me before. My eyes suddenly opened wide in
frustration and I let go of Tai. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" My eyes
flared angrily. I could feel my cheeks boil and my lips curve into a
thin, straight line. "TAI! WE ARE TOO YOUNG FOR THIS! WHAT ARE YOU
THINKING?!" Tai's face was white with surprise.
"I-
I..." He stuttered.
"NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!"
"Do
what?" He replied meekly.
"THAT!"
"What? What
did I do that's so wrong?!"
My eyes flashed angrily. I was
furious at him. He came on way too strongly. "Don't ever. Touch
me. AGAIN!" I could feel tears gathering in my eyes. Tai was
practically the same age as me; he was way too young for this. "I
hate you Tai. I can never speak to you again." With that, I stomped
away, breaking out into a run. I cried out loud with tears slipping
down my cheeks as I whipped through the bushes.
Years later,
Sora, Tai, Matt, Mimi and the rest of the gang had left the Digital
World and started their lives back in the real world, with Sora and
Tai not speaking for 8 long years...
It was just another day
in the real world. The busy highways... the jammed supermarkets...
the people pouring out of schools and of course the crammed malls
where Mimi Tachikawa was shopping for new designer
clothes.
Mimi
lifted her pink tinted sunglasses off her eyes and looked down at one
of the labels. "Sora Tachenouchi..." She smiled in amusement.
"Sora has her own fashion company..." Mimi laughed sarcastically
and put her glasses back on. She waltzed over to another row of
clothes, in search for the perfect dress. Mimi rummaged through the
different tops and hats and stopped so quickly her sunglasses fell
off. Seated in front of her hanging on the rack was an exact replica
of Sora's blue helmet hat! Mimi quickly checked the label. "...Sora
Tachenouchi?!" Mimi stared at it for a second in shock and
surprise. "Maybe Sora DOES have her own fashion line..." Mimi
smiled thoughtfully. "Sora... a fashion designer?... Cool." Mimi
took the hat off the rack and carefully slipped off her sunhat. She
placed it on her head. It felt pretty snug. Mimi modeled herself in
front of the mirror when a face appeared behind her.
"Mimi?
Is that you?"
Mimi spun around to see someone she had not
seen in a long time. "Matt? Matt Ishida?" They both stared at
each other for a little bit until they realized that this was real.
They were both standing in front of their digidestined pal. Matt and
Mimi also fell in love a long time ago in the Digital World where
they had their first real talk. "Oh Matt!"
Mimi flung her
arms about the boy and he hugged her back, rather
reluctantly.
"Matt! I haven't seen you in so long! How is
your band?" Mimi tried to strike up conversation with her old time
boyfriend.
Before Matt could reply, a hoard of girls trotted
over to him in a stampede.
"YAMATO! OH HE'S SO CUTE!"
"SO
HOT..."
"LOOK! HE"S IN A GIRL'S DEPARTMENT STORE! HE
MUST BE BUYING CLOTHES FOR ME!"
"NO, ME!"
"NO,
ME!"
The girls continued to argue starry-eyed over the
frightened rock star.
"Does this answer your question?"
Matt implied the girls to Mimi. A girl tugged Matt by the collar into
their circle. All the girls crowded and kissed him heavily, leaving
dark lipstick marks all over his face. Mimi could do nothing but
watch in horror. She caught a glimpse of Matt's frightened face,
buried in lipstick smears.
Screams came from the girls and
excited shouts sounded throughout the store. Until the manager walked
in. "What is the meaning of this riot?" She asked, her hair done
up in a tight bun and a sleek purple suit fitted to her body. "Get
out of here now!" The girls whimpered and walked away from the
groaning star. Mimi rushed over to his side and grabbed a hanky out
of her small purse. She began rubbing away the lipstick stains and
one girl must have been wearing Fade Resistant which made Mimi scrub
harder into Matt's cheek.
After a couple minutes of
scrubbing, Mimi put the stained handkerchief back in her purse. "Wow.
I guess that does answer my question." Mimi helped him up with one
arm and a couple dresses in the other.
"Yeah... damn
chicks..."
"So Matt, do you wanna meet for lunch
somewhere?"
Matt got up and smiled. "Sure. Um... I'd
like that very much Mimi."
On the way to the café,
Matt and Mimi were bombarded with reporters and girls of all sorts.
Some asked who his new girlfriend was and others just wanted
autographs.
Matt and Mimi finally sat down in a cozy little
café where the birds whistled and the calming fragrance of
French bread hung in the air.
"This is a great café
Matt." Mimi remarked shyly. "How did you find it?"
"I
go here often... err... with my girlfriend." Matt looked down at
the stone tile patio and blushed.
"Oh..." Mimi looked up
to Matt's red face and stared into his guilty eyes. "Who is your
girlfriend?"
"Um... Oh look the waiter!" Matt pointed
out to a very sophisticated looking man who was walking up to their
table.
"May I take your order Madame et Monsieur?"
"I'd
like an Ice Cappuccino, what would you like Mimi?"
Mimi kept
a straight face, "I'll just have water..."
The waiter
nodded politely and left. Matt stared down at the ground. "Err...
Let's change the subject!" He tried to sound optimistic. "What
do you do now a days?"
Mimi sighed, "Wait... for someone
to find me." She chocked on her words as tears crept their way into
her eyes. "I- I don't do anything... I just shop and spend all of
my dad's money... I'm a useless thing according to my parents...
But uh... enough about me!" Mimi forced a smile, "What have you
been doing lately?"
Matt looked at her sadly, "Oh... well
I've been writing some new songs..."
"That's
good."
"Yeah... and uh, I'm coming out with a CD
soon."
"Wow! Matt that's excellent!"
"I try
hard... I guess I deserve it."
"So Matt... I remember a
long time ago that we told each other that we would write a song
together, so are we still gonna do it?"
When Matt had saved
Mimi from a falling boulder years ago, they both promised each other
that they would write a song together. Mimi wondered if that would
ever happen. It seemed like Matt had made other plans.
"Uh
well I'm kind of doing one with my girlfriend..."
"Matt..."
Mimi felt agitated now. "Who is your girlfriend?"
Matt
shivered and bit his lip. "You really want to know?"
"Yes,
I really want to know." Mimi was getting irritated with
him.
"Fine..." Matt took a deep breath and couldn't seem
to get it out. "S- S- So..."
"SORA..."
Mimi
cupped her hands against her mouth. "Are you serious?! I thought
she loved Tai!"
"She did..."
"But I love YOU,
and you love ME! I'VE WAITED TO TALK TO YOU FOR 8 LONG YEARS! NOW
YOU TELL ME YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH ANOTHER GIRL?!"
"Yes
Mimi, I'm sorry..."
"Are you saying that you are writing
a song with my best friend?!" Mimi stood up from the table, the
chair legs making a screeching noise against the patio.
"Well,
I'm in love with her."
"But she is in love with
TAI!"
"Not anymore I guess. She hasn't said anything
about him since the fight they had in The Digital World."
Mimi
looked at him, her fists shaking as she tried to control her anger.
Mimi picked up her shopping bag and glared at Matt.
"I
thought you loved me... Why do you like Sora?! Is it because she's
a famous designer and I'm a nothing? Is that it Matt?! I thought
that kind of stuff didn't matter to you!" Mimi's eyes were
drenched in tears and her face was red and blotchy.
"Mimi!
I'm sorry but I've moved on, okay?! I love Sora! Things change!
That was 8 years ago when we loved each other! I'm sorry Mimi, but
my heart belongs to someone else, and so do my songs."
Mimi
looked at him speechless. She dug around in her purse and pulled out
a dollar bill and some change. "Here's the money for my lunch!
The waiter will enjoy the extra 5 cents!" She screamed
sarcastically and threw the money in Matt's face and charged off
with her bags.
Matt sat there speechless as Mimi cried, her
back turned to her only love.
Later on back at Mimi's
apartment, she lay down on her bed sobbing loudly. How could Matt be
in love with the girl who was meant for another guy? The only way to
solve this was to get Sora and Tai back together. It would be
difficult; she'd have to find out where Tai lived now a days. For
Sora, she could look up Sora's parent's phone number and ask them
where she lived. It would take a while, but she had to get Matt back
somehow.
