"KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!"
Daisuke rushed up the alley and jumped on Ken's back. The genius balanced wildly on one feet but managed to remain standing.
"What's got into you, Daisuke?"
Daisuke laughed like a madman. He was so cute!
"Guess what?!"
"I know. You ate three helpings of sundae and now you want me to tell you how much you weight. That's why you have climbed on my back and you're doing all this excited jumping and hugging. Mind, I have only one spinal cord, Daisuke-chan, and that works only for one person."
"WRONG!"
Ken sighed. He was on his way to see Daisuke but as he was crossing the park, Daisuke saw him first. And today Daisuke was high on something. It wasn't unusual. Unusual was that he went hugging him. Ken hoped the fiery boy finally realised who was his true love and stopped chasing stupid girls. Like Mimi. "C'mon! Guess! No? Then I'll tell you, but it's a secret! Mimi asked me out!..." he giggled still perched on Ken's back. Ken was thunderstruck. "Can you just IMAGINE this?! Great, right?!! She's sooooooo nice! And I'm going out with her!... Ken?"
"It's... just... unbelievable," the genius whispered in shock.
"YES!" Daisuke jumped down and grasped his friend's wrist. "C'mon, you're going to help me get dressed for the date!" And he shot off like a rocket, dragging Ken behind him.
Ken was pushed into the familiar room and towards the wardrobe. Daisuke started to throw his things into Ken, asking if this or that would look good on him. At first, Ken was too dumbstruck to respond. To think that he was supposed to pick clothes for the boy he loved who was going on a date with somebody else! What kind of a pervert was the one who assigned this destiny to him?! (a/n what kinda pervert is the author of this fic, hm?) Then a brilliant plan presented intself: he wasn't going to wait another two years for Daisuke to grow up cuz he was going to seduce him right here and now, ready or not!
"Oh, Daisuke..." he murmured sliding up to him. He thought that if that won't work nothing else would. He moved his hand down Daisuke's stomach. The wild-haired boy stopped abruptly. "You're so gorgeous..."
"Hmph? You think? You think I should wear my blue top for the date with Mimi? I guess it shows off my muscle, right, Ken?"
"Silly cute Daisuke," Ken moaned into his ear. "You always look so sexy with that dark-brown skin and dark eyes... I want to eat you up like an ice-cream..."
"Ken? You know, there was some ice-cream in the kitchen.. You like chocolate or strawberry?" the boy asked innocently.
Ken giggled into his neck, hugging his shoulders from behind. "Let's bring it here and see which one tastes better on you..." he gasped.
"Oh..." that sent Daisuke thinking. "But I don't have temperature!" he cried. "I only put ice-cream on me when I have temperature! Ken, wake up, you act stupid!" he laughed. "It tickles!..."
Duhhhhhhh... Ken gloomily jumped down from Daisuke and rolled his eyes. Why wouldn't Daisuke get seduced?!.. Damn it all to the depth of hell!!!
As he was kicked out of Motomiya's apartment (because Daisuke finally realised how perverted Ken was? Nooooooo... You wish. Because Daisuke wanted to clean up his room in case Mimi wants to see it... As if.) Ken walked slowly along the beach by Tokyo Bay... and he stumbled upon a very evil very Kaiserish idea.
Hikari decided to give Taichi some energy boost. Her brother was short of becoming a zombie. Of course, she understood sexual frustration... She'd read Zetsuai, right?
"Taichi, why don't you chase someone else?" Hikari sighed. "You don't even need to! You already have that someone. Takeru. Look at him. He is nice, handsome, positive, clever, willing! He loves you! He is a basketball star. Blonde. Blue eyes…"
Taichi frowned ominously, "Are you his agent, Hikari? Are you selling him to me?"
Hikari ignored him, "He is my best friend – you'll be a perfect couple…"
"Absolutely no!" Taichi cried. "I want Yamato! I want him as he is: cool, gracious, a lone wolf, smashing, with his nice hands and cold eyes... Everybody wants him! When I have him… Except that I won't," he finished gloomily and rolled on his bed to face the wall.
"So," Hikari sprang up. "Come on, star-crossed lover, it's no time for despair. We're on holidays, this is the most romantic time of the year. Beside Christmas and Valentine Day! We must do something!"
There was no reaction.
"The situation doesn't look good, but there is still hope!" Hikari continued. "Takeru's pining for Taichi, Daisuke's moping over Mimi, Miyako is now interested in Iori and I think it's mutual, Sora's gone mental, I'm free like a bird, Yamato's imprisoned, and Taichi, Koushirou and Ken are brokenhearted..."
"Yes. Exactly. Leave me alone, Hikari."
"Understand that it will take some time to get what you want! Yamato's coming back in four days, so be patient, big brother, will ya?"
"He hates me."
"Only a little bit!" Hikari said cheerfully. Well, it didn't work.
Hikari was really worried about her brother. He had never before looked so hopeless. Usually he was full of ideas and spirit, and he was the one who made the earth turn around the sun, caused tides and fought in wars. If he doesn't snap out of it, who will take his position of the leader? What evil force will arise if he isn't there to stop it?...
Talking of evil forces, she could swear she heard a mysterious beeping last night. It couldn't have been a cellphone. It was coming from Taichi's desk. And there was a purple glow from one of the drawers. In the morning, when she wasn't so scared, she checked it but found nothing except for several stickers, hentai manga, broken sunglasses and Ken's digivice...
The ringing of the phone broke her sad line of thoughts. It was Koushirou.
"Hikari, I'm holding a knife and I'm going to slash my wrists right now!" he cried hysterically.
"Ohmygod, what's wrong?!"
"Jyou has a date with MIMI!!!"
"Koushirou, it's only a DATE! He's not MARRYING her, for fuck's sake!"
"Hikari..." Taichi started in low menace.
"Look," the Child of Light sighed. "Put down that knife, sunshine. Jyou had a date with me and guess how it turned out? He came to you. I bet the history will repeat. It's Jyou we're talking about. He's a playboy, my ass!"
There were sobs on the other end.
"Really?" Koushirou asked meekly. "He will come to me? Cause if he won't I'll tear your lying tongue out, Hikari!!!"
"Oh god... Don't worry, sunshine. Jyou needs time to realise he loves you. He's that kind of an idiot."
"Okay. I'll be going now. Mom needs to use the bathroom. Bye!"
Hikari replaced the receiver. Not two seconds after, the phone rang again. This time it was Ken.
"What's up, Ken?"
"Ah, hello, Hikari. I was wondering if you can take care of Wormmon for me."
Hikari rubbed her forehead. What could make Ken abandon his favourite digimon? What if...!
"Ken, you're not commiting suicide, are you? she asked suspiciously. There was a long silence.
"Hikari, I'm insane but not an imbecil, right? Why should I do such a stupid thing even before I had a piece of my Daisuke?" he said calmly.
"Good thinking," Hikari said. "Then why dispose of Wormmon all of a sudden? Or is it...!" she clamped her mouth with her hand and whispered. "You've invited Daisuke over?!!"
"Again no. Actually, he's on a date with Mimi."
What, him too? Hikari frowned. Suddenly, Mimi's so popular... Double-dating. What kind of plan does she have in the pink twisted mind of hers?!
"I think I need a change of scene," Ken continued smoothly and emotionlessly. "Since the exams are over, my parents suggested me to go to the country as a refreshment. They booked a room in a small hotel near mountains in the central part of Kyushu and I'm staying there for the weekend. Dad will bring you Wormmon tonight. He's going crazy without the company and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind cheering him up."
"Of course. You sound a bit depressed, Ken. Are you sure you're okay?" Hikari said with worry.
"Who said I was okay? I'll see you when I return. Say hello to Koushirou and Taichi for me." A smile crept in his voice, "Tell them to have fun too-"
"Koushirou can't have fun. Jyou left him," the girl sighed. Then she turned to her sulking brother. "Hey, Taichi! Ken said you should cheer Koushirou up!!"
"Duh... I'll buy him an ice-cream!" Taichi answered sarcastically.
"Good bye," said Ken, and the talk was suddenly over. Hikari cast a suspicious glance at the beeping receiver.
"Ken's strange nowadays," she said.
"He's suffering from unreturned love," Taichi pointed out wisely. "I so understand him…"
The boy suffering from unreturned love grinned maniacally. It was a small village, picturesque, no doubt, with shadows of mountains on the horizon and trees in the gardens as big as Hayao Miyazaki loves them. The house was quite easy to find. It was an old beautiful Japanese house surrounded by cherry trees and flowerbeds. The tablet on the gate said, 'Ishida residence'.
Ken stopped before the gate. Ken wasn't exactly interested in blondes. But it was Ishida Yamato, the Boy Whom Everyone Wanted To Do, the rock star, the tidbit, if you will. Besides, he had an old debt to pay to Ken.
An old woman was kneeling at the flowerbeds as he approached the house.
"Hello, little girl," she said amiably. A murderous glint was cast her way.
"Good day, obaasan," Ken said. "Is Ishida Yamato here?"
"Yes, my grandson is secretly staying with me. His father hid him from his friends. Are you, by any chance, Taichi?"
"No, 'baasan, I'm a girl," Ken smiled wickedly. "His girl-friend. You must be Yama-chan's grandmother. Nice to meet you," he bowed. "My name is Takenouchi Sora."
"Oh, little darling!" the old woman gave a quivering nod. "Yama-chan is in his bedroom. Poor love, he seems so lonely but for Honda-san."
"Honda-san?" Ken asked politely.
"Oh yes, his judo coach. He comes every day to teach our Yamato self-defense techniques..."
Like it could help him against rabid Taichi, Ken thought. But I'll bear that in mind. I wonder, what is the real reason for hiding Yamato here? Is it because of the fight? Or has something else happened between Yamato and Taichi, that Ishida-san came to witness?
After hearing from the old lady how all girls in Tokyo wore men's clothes nowadays, Ken retreated to the house.
Gee, infiltrating Ishida's residence was a piece of cake! He noticed the shock of blonde hair in the open doorway at the end of the hall. If he couldn't get it on with Daisuke, well, let's spoil Taichi's fun as well... Let my fun begin.
"Life sucks," Taichi said and folding his hands behind his head he fell on his bed. Koushirou came up just now with the news. Mimi and Jyou were going out together since today. They had their first date. They kissed. Everything was great. And Mimi had a school dance in a week, so Jyou would be her partner. Thank Angewomon, Hikari wasn't home.
"I agree perfectly," Koushiro said.
"Hikari told me to keep myself together," Taichi grumbled and continued sarcastically. "But after my idiot of a friend and a would-be lover called me so many names I forgot my real one! How am I supposed to go on?!"
"Yeah," Koushiro echoed tiredly. They were alone in the apartment, it was a warm evening after a hot day, and as usual, at the start of the holidays they had no idea what to do with themselves.
"I'm bored," Taichi sighed.
"Me too," Koushiro said. "I want to forget Jyou."
"I want to forget Yamato, too," Taichi said. "That way I won't go insane thinking of him every minute."
"I wish it was so easy to forget someone you love," Koushiro sighed.
"They say that to forget you have to fall in love again."
Koushiro cocked an eyebrow at him, "Does it really work?"
"Well, I don't know about falling in love, but having someone to cheer you up might work." Taichi sat up and looked at Koushiro. Suddenly, Ken's words came to mind. Cheer Koushirou up. The redhead was staring at him - not in horror but in a kind of daring expectancy. Obviously, Taichi's words touched something inside of him.
"It really works?" he asked dubiously. Then he blushed, because Taichi's stare told volumes about how he could cheer up a person. Volumes of hentai.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Taichi wondered. And he thought that Koushiro wasn't at all bad-looking.
And why the heck's not?
"If you're thinking about doing it, then yes, I am."
Suddenly, the evening seemed very interesting, indeed...
In the meanwhile, Daisuke was sitting alone in a dark room with Wormmon on his lap. Hikari brought him Wormmon so that he wouldn't feel so sad. He was staring at the wall. He couldn't believe it. After all he'd done for her... After all he went through for her...
The memories of his first and only date came back to him. Mimi taking him to the kitchen. Mimi offering him a glass of soda. Mimi asking him if he had ever kissed anyone... Mimi and him kissing, for real. For real.
Daisuke shut his eyes and hid his face in Wormmon's back.
She said she wasn't serious.
Oh come on, Daisuke, you're cute, but I don't fall for such guys! Wasn't it all that you wanted of me? Just to feel like a big boy by the side of a pretty grown-up girl and to try kissing for the first time? I'm sure, you have someone who needs you more than me. I just wanted to oblige you because you've been very kind to me. But to tell you the truth, I already have someone special...
Daisuke sobbed. No, it wasn't that what Mimi thought at all! He loved her! He wanted to be her knight in shining armour for real!
Kido Jyou.
Daisuke couldn't even bring himself to hate the guy. Jyou was a great person and he could take better care of Mimi than anyone else... Who was going to take care of Daisuke now?..
Even Ken was gone. He left him.
"Daisuke," Wormmon sighed. "Don't worry. Ken loves you."
Daisuke sobbed, "I love him too."
Wormmon sweatdropped. "Me too," he said. "I wonder what he's doing right now..."
I'm not a bad person at all!! Mimi said to her reflection in the mirror. I let Daisuke get what he wanted... Did he really think I'll go far with him? No, thanks. I've seen those evil glares that Ken was sending my way, even if Daisuke missed them.
It wasn't her fault that no guy was good enough. Iori was gorgeous but small. Jyou was a tad nervous and he had sweaty hands.
And Daisuke was most certainly gay, but that was for him to find out. Still he was simply rocking – no wonder Ichijouji was so keen on him. Or to put it exactly, so bent on him. But she'll let Ichijouji win him.
If it were only possible to match Iori's character with Jyou's appearance and stuff it with Daisuke's hormones - oh, that would be a perfect male for Mimi.
As it is, Jyou will suffice for now. At least, for the universally important school dance. And he kisses great.
I wonder what did Koushirou feel when Jyou kissed him? Was it like tingles across his stomach or shivers down his spine that she felt when Jyou kissed her?
Mimi smiled to the mirror. She knew all about them...
Long time ago she swore she would kiss every male of the Chosen Children. Taichi, Iori, Daisuke, Jyou were on her list already. Ken will kiss her only if his lips were stained with poison. The same goes for Koushirou. Yamato is problematic... but maybe she can have him now that Sora left him? Takeru... was easy.
She was very pretty, ne?
