Chapter...8? 7? : Bored
Classes seemed to go by very quickly that day for Taichi, before he knew it he was already outside waiting for his sister to meet him.
He was talking to Koushiro when he heard a cheery voice from behind him, "Taichi," Hikari had grabbed hold of his arm.
"Lets go, mom's having guests tonight." she said pulling him along. "Bye Koushiro." She said without looking.
They had just started walking when, "Mimi-San come and walk with us!"
Hikari was waving merrily as though her arm might come off. Mimi came over and greeted Hikari.
"I'm sorry, Hikari. I have to stay after school." She lied, then smiled at Hikari and walked away.
Hikari turned to her brother, "...what's with her?" she asked as they began walking.
"..."
Hikari clicked her tongue, "Is it because you kissed her?"
Taichi paused and stared at her, "What?" Hikari rolled her eyes, "You kissed her remember?"
"No..." Taichi said staring at her, a sense of relief washed over him.
"Well you did, and maybe she thought it was awkward. Or she didn't want you to-" She stopped when she saw her brother.
"..What are you so happy about?" She asked leaning closer to him to see if he was faking or not.
"Oh nothing." He said picking up her bag for her and striding ahead.
Hikari caught up and kept throwing him curious looks.
Mimi had taken the train home and was sitting upside down on her bed, her hair was spread out on the floor.
She was glaring at the ceiling, 'I must not have a very eventful life if this sort of thing upsets me so much.... Then again...that postcard....'
Mimi remembered back to when she had been vacationing in Hawaii and had too much to drink, she had written a post card to him...
She didn't remember what she wrote on it but it made Mrs. yagami uncomfortable around her for about a month after he got it.
The she heard that he and Sora had a row, to tell the truth she was not at all concerned about Sora at that time but now...
She tried to recall what the post card had said but all she remembered was that she had a headache from the American beer and it was scribbled in a messy almost unreadable manner.
She tried to remember some more but after that she only remembered she had worn her hat lopsided for about six hours, the shopping trip with her mom and that horrible sunburn.
She let out a sigh of frustration. "Kami..." She mumbled turning over on her stomach.
(A/N: YES she was drunk, her hat WAS lop-sided I have PICTURES and her handwriting was VERY bad on that post card. In fact Taichi and his mom stared at it, all he said was ". She's in Hawaii..." Ad his mom leaned closer to read it and made a face, the post card most likely said inappropriate things because there was no dialogue just a scene explaining why Mimi's post card was so...yeah. LOL. Take THAT taiora!)
The humming of her clock seemed to grow louder with each passing moment.
She wondered if Miyako was home yet. With some difficulty she got up and headed towards the kitchen.
Miyako was in the living room with Koushiro's computer set up on the coffee table, there was a dell CPU in pieces scattered across the smooth black surface.
She had just adjusted her glasses when the phone rang. "Chizuru! Get the phone!" Momoe yelled from her and Miyako's room.
It was Mantarou that ended up picking up the receiver. "Moshi- Moshi?" He asked in a bored tone. "Ano...Is Miyako there? It's Mimi."
"Miyako, phone." He said looking behind him so he could see her looming over the computers.
She looked up, "ok, I'm coming..." Adjusting her vash-like glasses she made her way to her brother.
"Hello?"
" Miyako?" Mimi asked uncertainly while twiddling with the cord. "Yeah." Came Miyako's voice in a bored tone.
"Do you think-" Mimi stopped. She couldn't ask Miyako about Tai, she barely even knew him, and that was through Hikari.
"Yes Mimi?" Miyako asked, sounding irritated. "See… never mind… how is Koushiro-kun?"
Mimi knew mentioning Koushiro would steer Miyako away from asking questions about Mimi has just, well almost, asked.
It sounded for a second that Miyako may have been sobbing but,
"Keh! Do you really want to know? !" She asked holding back hysterical laughter. Mimi held the phone away from her ear. "Sure." She said wondering what may have happened.
"Oh… no, no. I shouldn't tell you. Not yet anyway…" Miyako's sentence was soon followed by muffled cackles.
"Oh what the hell! I'll tell you. Koushiro says that his parents were going to America after term!" She screamed happily. Mimi blinked. "Ok… see… but, how is that good news?"
Mimi had sworn she heard Miyako scoff. "I am also traveling to America after term! Mom said that I could go with him and his parents if it was ok with them!"
Mimi smiled. "So then Momoe, or Mantarou are seeing you off at the airport and you'll be vacationing with Koushiro?"
"Bingo! Except Chizuru's driving me to the train station where I'll go with Koushiro to the airport to meet his parents." Miyako sounded as if she were going to burst at the seams with joy.
"But isn't summer vacation a long way away?" Mimi asked looking at the calendar. It was almost November.
"So! Anyway why did you call?" Miyako's mood seemed unscathed. "Oh, nothing…."
A thought suddenly popped into her head. "Oh! Have you ever had a fight with Koushiro?"
She waited for Miyako's reply.
"…Yes, it was about Ken." Miyako seemed a little vexed about the topic turning over to Ken.
"What happened?" Mimi asked pressing the receiver to her ear. "…Koushiro wanted to know if I was happier with him and things like that… Why? Did you have a fight with Tai? "
Mimi almost gasped. How did Miyako know? Was it that obvious? Well… She WAS moved up a grade.
"Yes." Mimi replied shyly. "What happened?" Miyako sounded like she was enjoying herself.
"He kissed me and-" Miyako laughed a little. "That's all? If he only kissed you then your overreacting Mimi."
Mimi waited for Miyako to stop interrupting, "He said he didn't mean it! He said he didn't mean to kiss me. Don't you think that's wrong?"
Mimi could imagine Miyako's face, she was tapping her chin. "Mimi, was he drunk? You know not just tipsy but Yagami drunk, like his dad gets?" She finally asked.
Mimi felt her face warm up, 'I swear she can read minds….' She thought before answering.
"Yes… But-" Mimi was cut off again by the all knowing Miyako.
"Then how could he have known what he did? Hardly anyone remembers what happened while they were sloshed... except me… anyway. You should know, remember that post card?"
Mimi raised her eyebrows. 'DAMN! How DOES she know about that!' Before Mimi could ask about Miyako's gift she was interrupted again…
"Now, he apologized you say? Someone must have told him what happened. But surely he wouldn't apologize for kissing you, no… He'd probably smirk and say 'and I'd do it again if I had the chance.' Hmm… Do you think Hikari told him something different?"
Mimi couldn't believe her ears, how the hell could Miyako have known all of this. "Of course, I know Hikari, she wouldn't lie to her dear older brother. But what if she told someone else? Some bitch that wanted Taichi to say that he didn't mean it… Someone who'd lie to him…What do you think Mimi? Am I getting warm?"
Mimi blinked, "… Yes. In fact, you are absolutely right. But… who would Hikari tell that to, it'd have to be someone she trusted yet someone who'd want to see Taichi and I mad at each other… Jou? He's always had a crush on me…. Then again there's Yamato… But they also seem to really have taken a shine to-"
"Sora?" Miyako informed her. "Everyone likes her because she's classy and polite, not to mention good-looking, and from a good family too…"
Mimi rolled her eyes, "Yes I know how great Sora is, but she wouldn't want to make me upset? What have I ever done to her?"
"Perhaps she's jealous? You saw more action back when the eight of you were battling in the Digital world."
Mimi sighed, "How could she be jealous of that? She should be thankful that she didn't have to risk having her ass barbecued as much as me."
Mimi heard a 'tsk' sound, which meant Miyako knew something about Sora that Mimi didn't. "She's such a sweet girl, but I think she's jealous because Taichi thought highly of you then. And it seems that he still does."
Mimi was listening as hard as she could now, Miyako seemed to know everyone so well.
Miyako was taking her time responding it irritated Mimi. "What about Sora?" She asked aggressively.
"Hold on," Said Miyako quickly. "Sure." Mimi mumbled. After what seemed like half an hour Miyako returned to the phone, "I'm sorry Mimi, Momoe's just found out that she's pregnant and I'm going with her to tell dad. Oh it's NOT going to be pretty!" Miyako apologized once more and hung up.
"Wow," Mimi said staring at the phone in awe. "How's that for an interruption? I hope it goes okay…"
