Why do you like me?
By Akane-tenshi
Summary : Mimi and Matt had disliked each other at first sight. But what happens if their souls switched? Is there something more deep inside? A mimato and taiora.
Disclaimer : Don't own anything!
Mimi scanned the pages of a very thick book. She was now seated at the back of a public library and pouring over books, looking for anything that was related to switching of souls. Unfortunately, luck was not on her side.
Matt returned to the table with an arm load of books. "You know, maybe we should ask someone for help."
"Oh yeah? And what are you gonna say?" Mimi snapped and said the following with a mocked cheerful voice."Hi! This is not our body! We've switched souls! Would you care to help us?"
"Hmm... you're right. They won't believe us."
"No duh!"
Matt furrowed his eyebrows, "Maybe it's something that happened that caused our souls to switch. You think it may be something that we ate?"
"Doubt it. The day before, I just ate breakfast at home and lunch in school... did that practically my whole life and nothing ever happened. Except in third grade... that sauce was nasty!" Mimi shivered slightly.
Shaking his head, Matt started to flipped through the pages and shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
She continued on, "Maybe it's something we said that caused us to switch souls... Well, I certainly didn't wish for anything like that. It's something else... an event... maybe it's something I did... Something at the Digital World... After the fight- Matt! What's wrong?"
Matt groaned, "My stomach hurts."
"Tell me you didn't eat the sauce at the cafeteria! I ate that once and I can't stop myself from going to the bathroom-"
"I'd love to hear your stories but right now, I'm in pain!"
"S-Sorry... If it's not something that you ate... then..." Realization dawned upon her face. "Oh no..." She quickly grabbed Matt and rushed out of the library.
"I have... what?"
"Menses. Didn't you ever heard about the menstruation process that all women go through?" Mimi pulled a packet of sanitary pads out of her drawers and quickly shoved it into his hand, her eyes dancing with mirth. "Well, didn't you?"
"Of course I have!" Matt snapped harshly. "What do you take me for?"
"A fool. Now, go put them on."
"How exactly."
Mimi frowned and pushed him into the bathroom, before slamming the door. "Read the instructions, moron!"
Tens minutes later, Matt emerged from the bathroom. He was positively ill; his face was terribly pale and he clenched his fists in pain. "I feel awful..."
"Pur-lease! It's just-"
"I'm getting stomach crams and my head's pounding."
"Matt, we women get it all the time. It usually ends in less than a week. It's really no big-"
"I'm going to bleed to death! I'm too young to die!"
"Hah! Now you know how it feels!" Mimi shouted and stormed to the kitchen, leaving Matt ranting to himself.
"Mimi, here take this... It will reduce the pain." Mrs Tachikawa handed some pills and a glass of water.
Matt quickly gulped them down, while clutching his stomach.
Mrs Tachikawa gave a warm smile. "Why don't you get some rest. Tomorrow morning you'll be fine. I thought you're use to these crams by now. Well, good night Mimi." With that, she exited the room and left Matt in total darkness.
He turned to the clock and noted that it was eight at night. Finally feeling relieved from the pain, he stared up at the ceiling. He never thought the day would come that he could get menses, let alone be a woman. Why was this happening now?
Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by the slamming of the bedroom door. There, a red-headed stood, her face a rigid mask of anger and disappointment.
"Sora?" Matt called out as he sat up in bed. "What are you doing here?"
"Tai and I got in a fight again!" She said through gritted teeth as she sat at the edge of the bed. Her face was stained with tears.
Matt shifted from his spot on the queen sized bed until he reached the left side of it. He really need to distance himself from her. "Erm... what happened?"
Sora carried her legs up and went under the covers. "He called me a road-runner! Said that I kept running away from him. How can he compare me with a cartoon character? The nerves of that guy!" She fell back on the bed and shut her eyes.
"Umm... Sora? What are you doing?" asked Matt as he inched away.
"I wanna sleep here. I've already told my Mom that I'm spending the night at your place," said Sora without opening her eyes. "Night Mimi..."
Matt's brain froze. She couldn't possibly be serious? He will be in so much trouble if Tai were to find out. But they're both girls, right? There's nothing wrong if they sleep together in the same bed without any physical contact, right?
"Right," Matt said to himself and lay down on the bed, as far away as possible without falling off.
"You slept with Sora?"
"Mimi, calm down..."
"Calm down? Calm down? How can you ask me to calm down?"
Matt glared at the students who were looking at them and they quickly turned away. He grabbed Mimi and went to the school courtyard, where he could get some privacy. "Mimi, we just slept on the bed together! That's it! Nothing happened."
"You took advantage of my body to sleep with Sora?"
"Weren't you listening to me? I said, nothing happened. We just slept, as in we snore and drool!" Now he wished that he didn't tell Mimi what had happened but he just can't keep it to himself without having a guilty feeling.
Mimi looked at him with a trace of hurt in her eyes. "I can't believe you! I was just beginning to trust you... You know what, I've had just about enough of you!" Giving him one last glare, she stormed to class.
Matt looked at the retreating figure and shook his head. Why was she so upset?
Why am I so upset? Mimi asked herself. It's not like anything happened. Sora would probably freak if she found out that she had actually slept with Matt. Everyone knows that Matt used to have a major crush on Sora but that was way back in the old days. But does Matt still like her? If he does then...
Mimi scowled and erased the thoughts from her head. It's not like it's her business or anything.
"Hey Matt! Matt? Hello?"
"Tai! Hey!" Mimi studied his expression. He really didn't look overjoyed like he always do. "What's wrong? Don't tell me you fought with Sora again!"
He rolled his eyes and folded his arm like a five-year old kid. "I'll never understand her! Everything that I do is not good enough for her! Maybe I should officially break up with her. I mean what's the point of us staying together if we fight constantly..."
"No! Don't do that!" said Mimi frantically. "You and Sora share a special bond. You've known her since you were little. What changed?"
"Ask her!" Tai snapped. "Let's not talk about her. C'mon! Let's hit the arcade!"
"Erm... sorry... I... gotta go! I've got urgent matters to attend to... umm... See ya!" Mimi smiled nervously and quickly bolted. She would rather die than to step foot at the arcade. Besides, she needed to warn Sora.
Matt pondered on what Mimi had said earlier. She trusted him and yet he conveniently looses her trust.
"Damn!" He shouted in frustration and kicked an innocent-looking soda can on the ground. But why was he so mad? He and Mimi had gotten in lots of fights before. He found it disturbing that this particular one had really gotten into him. PMS maybe?
Yeah, that should be it. Matt reassured himself, though not thoroughly convinced.
Oddly enough, he suddenly found himself standing outside the arcade where the guys like to hang-out. Without giving a second thought, he entered and started to look around for a boy with wild hair. It wasn't a difficult task as Tai could be found hogging his favorite machine. "Hey Tai."
"Hey Mimi!" said Tai without taking his eyes off the game. Realizing what he had just said, he turned to look at the person whom he had just addressed. "Mimi? What are you doing here? This is an arcade! You hate arcades! Are you lost or something?"
Matt chuckled. "Dude, I came here to hang-out and chill."
"Mimi, the mall is that way. C'mon, I'll take you there," said Tai,
"Tai! Why would I want to go there? I belong here."
"Rrriigghhhttt..." said Tai and brought his hand to Matt's forehead. "Are you having a fever?"
Matt slapped his hand away. "Tai!" So Mimi isn't a huge fan of arcades. Big deal! That doesn't means he have to deprive himself from it. There's nothing wrong with playing a few games. At least he won't get into trouble or break the law.
A rush of relieve went through her when she spotted Sora on her way home. "Sora! Like, we totally need to have a chat."
"What did you just say?"
"I mean... Sora... we need to talk," Mimi covered up her mistake. Thankfully, Sora dismissed what she had said earlier.
"What do you want Matt?"
"Well, it's like this. I heard that Tai wants to officially break up with you..." For a moment so brief, Mimi caught something flashed in Sora's eyes. "Are you feeling ok Sora? Sora? Hey... there's no need to be upset. I'm sure everything will work out fine... Do you want me to talk to him?"
But the red-headed wasn't listening. Tears threatened to fall from her eyes. "Upset? I'm not upset..."
Without thinking, Mimi place a comforting arm around her shoulder.
A pink tinge appeared on Sora's face and she quickly stepped away. She never knew Matt could be so forward. "Don't even think about it Ishida!"
"Oh? Right... I forgot that I was..."
"You were... what?"
"Nothing!"
"Weirdo!"
"I beat you for the tenth time! You lose!"
"Not fair! You cheated!"
"Put a sock in it! Don't be such a sore loser!"
Tai huffed and turned away. How could he lose to a girl? And the girl happens to be Mimi! She never touches any video games in her entire life. He turned to Mimi who was about to break the joystick in her excitement. His idea of a perfect women is someone who is cute, smart, sporty and likes video games. Mimi isn't that sporty but at least she's good at video games.Wait, did he just say she was cute?
Maybe he really needed some space from Sora. "We'll see how things go." With that, he joined her in attempt to kick some virtual butt.
Oh-oh! Is Tai falling in love with Matt? Don't worry guys! Nothing serious will come out of it... I promise! Sorry if this chapter is not that funny! I never intended to make the story funny at all... I hate this chapter! Oh well! Review please! I live on them!
Note to SoratoFan : Go to hell! Don't you have anything better to do than to flame people? Why in the world are you reading a mimato and taiora fic in the first place? Traitor! You pathetic excuse of a sorato fan! You've disgraced yourself by reading a mimato and taiora fic, you know that? It's people like you who ruin the sorato fans reputation!
