Chapter 4: An Unsettling Commute.
All of em' cept Takeru, Hikari, Daiskue, Ken and Iori are in high school Mimi and Miyako in 10th grade. (Miyako was bumped up a grade for her high IQ) Taichi, Koushiro, Jun, Sora and Yamato are in 11th (Koushiro-kun was also bumped up a grade.)
and Jou is a senior! The school uniform is dark blue with white, No sailor stuff, that's mostly for middle schools only.
The guys wear white (are they called dress shirts?) shirts with or without a Tie and with or with out the dark blue (with turtle neck things) coat and dark blue pants.
The girls, the same cept with dark blue skirts instead of dark blue pants. and their coats are more like the ones they wore in the TV series.
(Ya' know the ones Taichi, the rest of the teenage wolves , Yamato and Koushiro wore, with the little folding collars...)
OK! now on with the story, I promised a kiss scene and by god I'll give U a kiss scene!
_____________
Mimi fiddled with her book bag a little. "About the engagement?" Taichi raised an eyebrow, "What sort of engagement?"
"An engagement of marriage..."
Taichi stopped, grabbing hold of Mimi's sleeve in an attempt to slow down her rapid pacing. "To whom?" He asked a bit shakily.
"Sora, is engaged to you... Taichi..." She looked away at the last part. Taichi stood there for a moment, mimi quickened her pace when he caught up to her.
He pulled on her arm again, "What are you so heated up about?" He asked, already knowing the answer before hand. She narrowed her eyebrows and swung her book bag into her other hand.
"...Nothing, I'm just upset, for Sora's sake. Arranged to marry when she's already going steady with someone, It's horrible!" Taichi, knowing that was a lie, tugged on her wrist.
"Is that so? Well, its stupid anyway, we're both too young to get married, this isn't India, eh plus Sora's got a 'steady' boyfriend you say? Mrs. Takenouchi will call up my mom and cancel when Sora freaks out."
Mimi felt relieved but was not convinced. "Whatever. Were going to be late if we keep talking..." She said walking ahead of him again. Taichi noticed that she was still mad about something, and he already had a pretty good guess as to what it was.
They arrived in fair time, Mimi passed Miyako in the halls. Miyako, wishing her friend good luck, soon disappeared in crowd of high school students.
Since Mimi and Taichi had the same class on first period she tried to follow him the best she could.
Trying to avoid the massive swarms of people, she managed to spot Jun who was talking fondly of her brother Daiskue, more like bragging to her friends.
*Jun goes teary eyed* "And he's so nice, I don't see why he's so interested in Hikari, she's doesn't know an amazing person like my little brother when she sees one."
" She should know It's not good grammar and manners that make a person!"
Mimi ran up to her. "See... Motomiya-Sempai, have you seen Taichi?" Jun pointed.
"He went that way. And call me Jun please or Motomiya san if you feel like it." Mimi smiled. "Thank you!"
("See..." is what Mimi says instead of Uhh... Of course in the English version all she does in whine, but that's not true to her REAL character.)
Mimi ran in the direction that Punk girl pointed. She caught up with Taichi in the classroom.
"So, we have a new teacher. Supposed to be crazy." Taichi grinned. Mimi raised her eyebrow, "I heard a boy talking about her on the hall, Miss Yukari right?" He nodded,
"She used to teach at another high school but another teacher. Miss Kurosawa the gym teacher, insisted that the two of them transferred to this school." Mimi took out her pencils, "I see,"
"Should we expect her to hard on us, I wonder?" Mimi said tapping her chin with the end of the mechanical pencil.
Taichi shrugged and sat down at his desk, He turned to Mimi just as he was about to open his mouth he was interrupted.
"It would be best to be cautious all the same." The two turned their heads to see Yamato standing near them.
'How the hell did he get into this school?!' Mimi thought this just as Yamato smirked.
(a/n: Like Kuno does!!!! wahahahaahaha....) He tended to be a show off nowadays, as well as a moron.
"...Thank you for your advice Yamat-" Mimi was cut off by Yamato putting his hand out,
"First, my dear lady. Let me introduce myself,"
"What the hell we already know you-" Taichi was also interrupted by Yamato.
"I, Ishida Yamato, in my third year at Kohono high school, founder of the rock bad The teenaged wolves, introduce myself as Blue Thunder at Kohono high!"
Mimi gave Taichi a quick, 'Jou was right he has lost it' look.

"Yukari sensei's late," A girl wearing green ribbons whispered to Mimi. Mimi looked down at her desk, 'If she doesn't come that means no class.' She smiled.
Mimi was REALLY bad at English, even if she had lived in America, it just made her accent worse.
In high school you had to learn about their writing system along with enhancing your fluency. Or in Mimi's case, learning how to ask where the bathroom is without insulting anyone.
A moment later, Mimi's hopes had been violently crushed into the dust.
The door to the class room slid open, one of the students jumped when it was slammed back into space.
A young woman with brown curlish hair bounced happily over to the teachers desk.
"Hello, I am Yukari sensei, ask me anything, that is, if you have any questions."
There was a pause, Yamato rose his hand. "Ma'am?" Yukari stuck her hand out before he could ask.
"No, you cannot ask my bra size," Yamato's face went red, "I don't mean to brag or anything but I-" Yamato cut her off (Don't!!! he's too stupid to die!)
"I wasn't asking your cup size, I wanted to know why you wanted so badly to replace our previous English teacher...."
Miss Yukari shot him a deadly glare. "It was all Nayamo's idea...." She said darkly. "But that's not important now, lets get started...Tachikawa! Come up here and read this paragraph please."
Miss Yukari then began to copy something from her book onto the black board.
Mimi however was asking the other students if their surname happened to be Tachikawa as well.
Mimi timidly went over to the black board. "See...Miss Yukari?" She said quietly,
"What is it?" Yukari asked.
"I'm really bad at English so..." Mimi started
"No." Miss Yukari said quickly.
"But you don't understand I sound like a small helpless and fluffy forest animal caught inside of an active microwave!"
"More the reason for you to learn you morbid girl!" Yukari said this after she smacked Mimi on the head with a green file folder.
"Yes, Yukari Sensei...." Mimi said putting her hand on her head. 'Bitch.' she thought while beginning the sentence.
"..How do-eh-f the li-tt-l-eh croc-o-di-ahl impro-veh-eh hos shining-" Miss Yukari motioned for her to sit down.
(How doeth the little crocodile improve his shinning scales-how gently the Nile waters flow over each golden scale while he beckons little fishes into his welcoming jaws. Just something I decided to use.)
After a grueling first period the rest of the day seemed like elementary school for Miss Yukari's class.
______________________________________________________________________________
Taichi and Mimi were heading back to the middle school to pick up Hikari, Jun decided to come along to pick up Daiskue since the Motomiya's lived a few districts away from Hikarigaoka.
they decided to take the train, big mistake, it stopped right in the middle of a tunnel.
So now what must poor Hikari and Daiskue do? How long will that train be stuck there? Oh not that long I'm sure.
____________________________
Takeru and Hikari were talking about the high school entrance exams when Daiskue came running up.
"Omae!!" he shouted at Takeru, (A/N: Omae is considered somewhat informal and basically means HEY YOU!)
Hikari scoffed and narrowed her eyes, "It is not 'Omae' Daiskue but Takeru-Kun. Honestly don't you have any sense of formal behavior?" Daiskue rolled his eyes at her comment.
"Thank you Yagami sensei, that was quite a moving yet educational complaint and I shall do my best to take it to heart."
She and Daiskue always fought like this. "So what were you yelling about Daiskue?" Takeru asked cocking his head rather cutely.
"Oh, I called Jun's cell phone and they're going to be late picking you up Hikari. They 'suggested' that I escort you home is that alright?"
Hikari nodded then said coldly. "As long as it won't interfere, too much, with your commute home."
"Alright then, do you have your book bag? If you do then we can leave sooner."
"Yes, Goodbye Takeru I'll call you when I get home alright?" Hikari said smiling at the somewhat angry Takeru.
The two disappearedoutof site momentarily, leaving Takeru all by himself with of course Iori running to his mom in the background.

Taichi and Mimi returned to the Hikarigaoka apartment complex about an hour after sunset.
"Well that was a nightmare." Mimi said stopping in front of the Yagami's door. "Yeah it was, were lucky Jun threatened the engineer with that box cuter knife."
Taichi pushed the door open and Mimi waved goodbye. She stood there for a moment, staring at the sign near the door.
She gently stroked it a bit, her fingers running across the Kanji characters that, as a group formed the word Yagami. By themselves they meant Of The eight gods.
She sighed before returning to her family's apartment.
______________________________________
Taichi and Hikari were sitting on the couch playing dead or alive 3 whilst drinking Sake.
With Hikari as Lei Fang she had the advantage.
"Taichi," Mrs. Yagami called from the kitchen, "Go and see if Mimi needs help with her homework." Taichi turned to face his mother who was now standing behind the couch.
"I have faith in Mimi, mom. I believe that she can do anything that she sets her mind to. Don't you?"
"Just go and help you sarcastic little brat." His mother had replied to his sarcasm well.
Taichi was soon, slowly because he was a teensy bit tipsy, left the apartment and went to the apartment next door.
_______________________________________________________
Mimi was copying down sentences form her English book, when Taichi arrived.
She was about to ask just why he was there but judging by the 'My mom forced me to come here' look she decided not to.
"Do you need help with your homework?" He asked taking his notebook and text book out of his book bag. (I typed book three times in one sentence!)
She shrugged, "Papa helped with most before he went out with mom but I wouldn't mind if you just hung around. You look tired."
AT her last comment he collapsed in a chair next to her. Mimi took little notice because she was absorbed in finishing her homework.
Taichi began drumming his pencil on the table. Thus causing Mimi to become irritated.
"What are you doing?" she asked a little more than annoyed, he looked at her with a relaxed expression.
"Just killing time, I already finished my homework." He said with a rather cute perhaps a little more than cute smirk.
"What did you put down on the physical education test for number thirty?" She asked quietly.
"A." He replied before staring off into space. "...Thanks." mimi said before scribbling down the answer, only 20 more to go!
She had finished the rest off easily because they were mostly multiple choice.
Taichi was fiddling with the table cloth now, Mimi looked over at him, "Must you do that now?"
She asked a little irritated again.
Taichi leaned over, put his hands on her shoulders and pressed his lips against hers. After about 2 seconds he sat back down in his chair as if nothing had happened.
"Wh-why the hell did you do that?" Mimi asked her face was still red as a beet. Taichi was quiet.
Mimi glared. 'Well?" "You smell like an armadillo." he said calmly before returning to tapping his pencil on the table.
"Are you implying that I smell like a scurvy mammalian?" She asked her eyebrow was arched quite high.
Taichi didn't answer, instead he fell asleep on Mimi's shoulder. Mimi fumed. "Your lucky I don't tell your mom..." She said quietly.
)))))))))((((((((((((((((((((
Well, how was that? ...I ruined it with that armadillo thing? ....Well he WAS drunk.... Please review....
