LIMITZ
..CHAPTER 9/ Good & Bad Conversations..
By flipstahhz
('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')
It was early in the morning - 5:30am to be precise. Mimi and Sora seemed to be in a peaceful sleep, while four of the other dancers hadn't. Kari had been wide-awake and was sane enough to hear Takeru slam the door when the older boy had left the Tachikawa Residence back to his boarding school.
Taichi Kamiya had went for a walk around the neighbourhood, straight after the group had arrived the night before…he was seizing time for himself to chill out and relax and hadn't returned since.
Inside the boy's room, Yamato Ishida observed the silence quietly to himself. He calmly reached under his feathered pillow and snatched the miniature instrument that he had found in the room when he had just arrive to Mimi's house. He then pressed it against his lips and began to play a long wilting tune. Long ago, when his father hadn't become an addict, his father had taught him how to play the harmonica. That was how he started to develop a liking for music and from that day continued to produce numerous magnificent tunes. He had thrown his harmonica away after his parents left and instead joined a rock band. But now he was focused on dancing, and he eagerly missed playing the music not dancing to it.
Yamato closed his eyes and soulfully he softly blew into the instrument. The blond headed boy felt a light breeze and could hear someone else's presence in the room, but continued playing as if the other person wasn't there, his eyes were still tightly shut.
"Ahh…guess I distrurbed your serinty. Where'd you get that? The harmonica?" a croaky tired voice clashed into the music.
Methodly, Matt's azure eyes opened and surveyed his best friend whom was sitting casually on the bed besides his. The brunette displayed dark bags under his eyes, his hair was not groomed - out of control as usual, and there were a couple of cuts and bruises that were forming on his face.
He took the harmonica away from his mouth and said rather simply. " Found it." As soon as those two words were said, he had already slipped the object back into his mouth and began to play again.
"Think of that disease- meninjacockle," Tai reported in a motherly tone with a touch of sarcasm.
Matt didn't bother to reply this time.
"TK left a note on the fridge. I just noticed it while I was getting' a drink. He went back to school, thought you wanted to know," Tai shrugged. " Truthfully, it's more darn quiet around here without you're brother's whining … Aw, come one Matt! What's up, already bro? If you won't speak about you're problems can you just at least listen to min…I really need someone to talk to, and I turned to you since you give the best advice and how you were at my back, even at Odaiba."
Tai stared blankly at him for even a sign that Yamato would respond to him.
Abruptly with irritation, Yamato spat out the instrument and grumbled, " Anytime, since you look screwed up."
"It's Mimi and Kari," Taichi stared with a deep frustrated sigh.
"The answer," Matt said without thinking, " Is they are woman, and they get moody. That's all there is to it."
"I'm serious Matt…"
"Well I am too," Matt spat bitterly back. " Okay…what is it already? Bring it on, I've probably got the best answer to that too."
Avoiding the cockiness in Yamato's voice, Tai knew he would still be listening in what he had to say. " I don't know bro…were you there when you saw the incident at Dysfunction?"
"Hell yeah, I was there…I was at the opposite side where you were at when I heard people screaming and yelling over the monstrous music," Yamato said.
"Then why didn't you help?"
"That was your fight, Tai. I didn't need to be involved. Plus, you don't even know the background behind Mimi and that other guy. Not to mention I was dealing with my own problems at that time too."
"Alright, things didn't go well with Sora?" Tai questioned.
"Drop it, stop turning the subject to me…I thought we were talkin' about u?" Matt frowned.
"Well…" Tai continued then took the opportunity, " This guy - Andrew, Mimi's old friend, was touching her and Mimi told him to let go. So I ended up bashing up the guy a bit and Mimi got up getting pissed off at me and took the other guy's side. I don't know why the hell she did, and I don't know why the hell I stuck up for her…I probably got jealous over him or something."
"You're 'probably' right."
" Gee thanks for the support. Then Ken went harsh on her and stuck for me and went against her. Everything's stuffed up right now. But I definetly know there's something Mimi isn't tellin' us, and trust and honesty is one of the important elements in a team. Stickin' together and all that shit. How are we supossed to be a team when everyone is keepin' their secrets to themselves! "
"Don't worry bout it. She'll probably tell us when she's ready, she needs space to think things out," commented Matt. " When she's ready, Tai."
"And I thought that I could use advice with Kari, for she is yet another story. I talked to Sora about her the other day or something, but I think it's better if I know your opinion since you have a growing bro too. And…well you're relationship ain't as smooth, but is better than Kari and mine. Kari can't even look me in the eye without putting a fight up," Tai shook his head.
" That is where I disagree. Having a younger brother can be a bigger pain. Though, even though our pair of siblings are hard headed and unbelievably stubborn you've got to keep it in your head, that they still look up to you. Yeah, I know how TK speaks to me like shit…but there's this other side he's ashamed of showing…I always see it when he speaks. He doesn't mean what he says so most of the time I don't take his insult intentionally," Matt conformed, really firm that he was correct.
"About your bro…TK, I've been wonderin' dis for quite some time. Why did you speak to his principal privately…it's his principal, you know…a bit weird there," Tai asked curiously.
"I sort of made a deal with Rachel Fernandez," Matt said with a yawn as he leaned back against the cold wall.
Tai raised his eyebrow. " Sort of?"
"Well, I don't know how to put it. When I spoke to that woman, she already did her background research on TK and found out almost all the reasons why he got expelled by specific schools and commented he'd be out of St. Peter's without further notice if he crossed the line," Matt explained. " So I decided to add a few dollars to the fee I would pay them to be a bit easier but stricter to him and to give him more chances. Also to keep an eye out on him and that if he did something out of the usual, to tell me."
"Ohh…I see. But seriously, I'd hate it if a teacher was always watching my back."
"He doesn't know though…if I told Takeru he'd probably…I don't know he'd snob me off for the rest of his life. But I do know that he really wants, or wanted, to be a writer when he was little…and I'm giving him a chance and go to achieve it. I've done my work, now it's only up to him to do his."
"I see you haven't lost your hope."
"I think I will eventually," Matt responded with a low sigh, " I recounted the money that is due for his school, and recently just found out that I'm only 200 dollars off. I was so sure that I had enough money, and that's what I'm worried about. I couldn't sleep after I had counted the dollars. I don't know how the hell I'm goin' ta earn it all. Do you reckon I can get a part time job over here?"
"I don't know…but that's a bit out of the normal. You calculating your money wrong? My bet is that someone stole that tosh. "
"Who said I was calculating the money wrong? But I trust everyone in this house enough, no one would steal from me…I think," Matt eyed Tai curiously.
"No way bro! It wouldn't be me…"
"No, I was just thinkin' is it cool if I borrow some money off you?"
"Sure, I was about to say that. I've got only 50…which means you only got 150 to get," Tai calculated in his head and handed his fifty dollar bill. " Just don't lose it, and pay me back."
"Ahuh," Matt spoke. " I guess I need to ask Mimi where it'll be to get a good job around here."
"You guessed correctly," Tai nodded.

1, here comes the 2 to the 3 to the 4,
Everybody drunk out on the dance floor,
Babygirl ass jiggle like she want more,
Like she a groupie and I aint even on tour,
Maybe cause she heard that I rhyme hardcore,
Or maybe cause she heard that I buy out the stores,
Bottom of the 9th and a nigga gotta score,
If not i gotta move on to the next whore,
Here comes the 3 to the 2 to the 1,
Homeboy trippin' he don't know I got a gun,
When it come to pop man we do shit for fun,
You aint got one nigga you betta run,
Now i'm in the back gettin head from my hunz,
While she goin down i'm breakin down what i done,
She smokin my blunt sayin she aint havin fun,
Bitch give it back now you don! 't get none.
The blond boy tiredly walked passed the gates, with his hands buried in his baggy jean pockets. It had taken him about six hours to arrive at his destination because he made some stops on the way and it was already afternoon. His hair rustled against the furious wind as he made his way into a building at his school grounds. His earphones were jamming into his ears loudly as he whistled to the catchy beat. Takeru gazed down at his feet as walked up each step at a time and when he finally reached the end of the flights of staircases he suddenly felt one of his earphones pull out of his left ear so that someone could talk to him.
" Nice. Where'd you get that ipod? The last time I checked you had a MD. Where'd you get it from?"
"Racked it," TK replied simply.
"What?"
"Stole it off someone."
"Yeah, yeah…I got you the first time. I know what the word racked means, alright? Not that thick headed. It's just that I ain't down with stealing, that's all," Daisuke said sternly. " About time you got back, by the way, I need to ask you something."
"Right on."
"Kay, let's go to our dorm then…" Daisuke gestured as TK followed him.
Now everybody in the club gettin tipsy, everybody in the club gettin tipsy,
Now everybody in the club gettin tipsy,
Everybody in the club gettin tipsy,
Now everybody in the club gettin tipsy,
Everybody in the club gettin tipsy,
Now everybody in the club gettin tipsy,
Everybody in the club gettin tipsy.
The pair walked into the room and Daisuke shut the door behind him and settled himself onto his bed, since TK had already occupied the chair by the desk. They were now looking eye to eye.
"Don't you need to be somewhere? I thought you got soccer practice or something…" Takeru spoke as he wrapped his earphones around his ipod and carefully placed the small item into his bag.
"No. It's tonight…TK - I…" Daisuke frowned as he was about to pull something from his pocket.
"What?"
"Well, you know how Anthony's party was last night. I got kind of hung over from the alchi I drank, before I reached the dorm I collapsed onto you're bed."
"So…" TK said bluntly. " I don't care if you slept on my bed. It's no biggy or anything."
"But it turned out to be…" Daisuke he received a confused glance from Takeru. " TK, I woke up the next morning…and I reached under your pillow, since everyday I usually write in my journal and I thought it was my bed."
"You've got a journal?" TK sneered.
"Don't kick me out the darn subject," Davis sighed as he took out a familiar packet into his clammy hands. "And I found these, this belongs to you I'm presuming?"
"What the fuck!" TK cursed then jumped out of the seat and made a grab for the packet. "Give it back Davis!"
"No," Davis replied firmly with distaste as he confronted the boy whom was towering over him. " Why the hell have you got this? How in the hell did you get x? I thought you were just a newbie around here? Why are you doin' this to yourself TK? It's not safe to take it around here, and it's not worth the risk! Haven't you learnt by now?"
"It's my problem n you don't need all dose answers to those filthy questions. It ain't yours…now give it back already!"
"No…I'm doin' this for your own sake," Davis swore as he placed the packet of drugs back into his pocket. " I knew a person - my best friend, who was a fuckin' smart ass and could have been whatever he wanted to me. But then he went on x, got caught and was given not another chance at this school, immediately he got kicked out. He was smart, but he used it in the wrong way. I don't want another one of my friends to get expelled…alright, you got dat?
"Err…"
"It ain't for you to decide, TK. You're doin' it," Davis concluded. " You're just lucky that I saw it before any other person did. If I find out you get another packet or you're up to no good, I will turn you in."
"That's a threat right?"
"Yes it is. Good to know that you caught on."
"Davis, since when did you become a blackmailing, threatening, sticking-to-the-rules dickhead?"
"I'm just doin' what is best. And trust me, it's out of experience," Daisuke shook his head. " It's for your own sake, dude. Are you cool wit it?"
"Guess I am…it's like I have no other choice. Then again, I never have any other choice," TK frowned.

A day had passed - it was Sunday evening. Back at the Tachikawa's Residence, Yamato and Tai were still on their long hours of slumber after they had been up the night before and were utterly exhausted. Hikari, Sora and Mimi shared a girl's night, lounging around the house.
The three girls were all in their multicoloured pjs chilling out and relaxing to soft slow jam music to sooth them - well at least two of them to be completely exact.
"That's it! I've had it! Come on, you guys! Ya'll know I hate slow boring music! I know how the both of you wanna have a calmin' night, or something, but come on'…seriously! I know we're startin' school tomorrow, but can we just at least have a good time…" Hikari rolled her eyes, the music and atmosphere around her was breaking her temper. " Can't you at least put somethin' more up beat?"
"Alright, Ms Energetic Hippie who wants to show peace," Mimi rolled her eyes back at her sarcastically as she jumped up from the fashion magazine she had been flicking through and was about to leave to change the music.
"Here," Sora offered as she handed out one of her burnt CDs, " Put it on track two, even though it's been mixed by some DJ already, I've been meaning to show this song to the whole LimitZ crew in a while coz it's pretty good and from my point of view should be added to our dance routine. It shares a new rhythm that is interesting and we could add new moves to our dance."
"Maybe so…" Mimi shrugged as she turned around to accept the disk, turned back to the destination she had been heading in and carefully placed it into the CD Player. " We'll never find out if we don't give it a try!"
xxxxx
Oh when it all, it all falls down
I'm telling you ohh, it all falls down
Man I promise, she's so self conscious
She has no idea what she's doing in college
That major that she majored in don't make no money
But she won't drop out, her parents will look at her funny
Now, tell me that ain't insecurrre
The concept of school seems so securrre
Sophmore three yearrrs aint picked a careerrr
She like fuck it, I'll just stay down herre and do hair
Cause that's enough money to buy her a few pairs of new Airs
"It's good…I like it, and it much betah than that gayed up song we had earlier, but it's still a bit slow," commented Kari as she pulled her brown hair back into a ponytail. " All we gotta do is just adjust the tempo to a faster speed and it'll be aiights."
"Ahuh, good choice Sor. My ass already wants to move to that kickin' son- SHIT!" Mimi moaned as they all heard the annoying churning of the phone. " I'll get it…betcha it's my parents checkin' up if we're all good."
"Not like I was goin' to get it anyway…"
Mimi rolled her eyes again at her lazy ass friends, at walked out of the room to receive the phone. " Hello?"
"Hey Mimi," spoke a familiar masculine tone.
Cause her baby daddy don't really care
She's so precious with the peer pressure
Couldn't afford a car so she named her daughter Alexus (a Lexus)
She had hair so long that it looked like weave
Then she cut it all off now she look like Eve
And she be dealing with some issues that you can't believe
Single black female addicted to retail and well
Oh when it all, it all falls down
I'm telling you ohh, it all falls down
"Hold ups," the brunette shook her head as she covered the phone with her palm, " Hey guys! Can you put that a bit down…I need to take care of some business!"
"Ahuh!" a yelled response came from the room, unknown whether it was Sora or Hikari.
When the music was finally lowered down, Mimi placed her mouth an inch away from the phone and spoke into it in a hushed voice, " What do you want, Andrew? How do you still have my phone no.?"
"In my old address book," he replied back coolly on the other line, " Ey…I was just wonderin' …I heard rumors, about your new group and you comin' back to our school. Is dat foh real?"
"Ya…it's foh real," she repeated him slyly. " Drew, is that all you wanted to say? Coz I'm already in shit here…of what happened last night, could you at least be not drunk last night? I tried coverin' for yah, and now a couple of my friends are pissed off at me."
"Yeah, sorry about that. I think someone spiked my drink," he thought of an excuse. "Mimi about last night…I'm real sorry, but -"
"But?" Mimi cut off with a distinct frown.
"Ianoez…now that you're back, do you want to hang out some time? A date of some sort?" Andrew questioned, hopefully and cooed a bit of spice, " I love you…"
"Not now, Andrew," Mimi's frown widened.
"I'm serious though…I do…issit him? That guy that bashed me up. Man, is he a fuckhea-"
"Andrew, I don't know what you're playing at. My private life is none of your business, no more."
"Fine, we're just friends then?"
"Yeah Andrew…yeah, I don't things would have really worked if I were your gf anyway. About what happened, it ain't good…and you to add to it - even worse. I think I really have feelin's for him…okay?"
"Yeah, even though I was pretty drunk…I saw the way how you yelled at him, the spankin' way you used to…"
"Andrew…"
"Sorry," chuckled the boy, half heatedly. " But I ain't givin' up on you, Meems…"
"Andrew, you're makin' it harder. I'm so sorry, I really am sorry Drew…""
" Yeah…Well, life ain't easy…my life that is."
"You're not alone there," Mimi stated with evident guilt then felt even more guiltier that she was going to ask another question, " Ey…I need a favor."
"What?" he instantly replied.
"Issit coo if you come by my house tomorrow morning' and take my friends and I to school wit you, if you've still got that van?"
"Yeah, I do…you need a lift?"
"You can say that. First day," Mimi nodded. " Tomorrow at quarter passed eight? There's also another girl who needs to get dropped off at another campus, the one where we used to go."
"Ah…okay, sure."
"Drew, I really need to get goin' now…" Mimi gave a weak smile. " See you tomorrow…aiights?"
"Yes."
"And Drew?"
"What?" he queried.
"Thanks," Mimi bravely hung the phone and walked back into the living room as if nothing had happened. " We've got a lift for tomorrow ladies! How bout that?"
('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')
Hikari strolled up the stairs, since she was rather curious what her brother had been up to and wanted to check up on him. Pretending not to look suspicious, she walked across the boy's room to see that the light was off and that a person was lying in his bed.
Confidently knowing that all was clear, she sneakily walked into the room to look at her brother - her suspicions were wrong. Instead, whom laid there, was her ex-boyfriend's brother - Yamato.
"Who's there?" he asked huskily, for his head was turned the opposite direction and could see the shadow of the female.
"It's Kari…you haven't seen Tai, have you?" she asked as she turned the light for a clearer vision of the male.
"He went for a shower," Yamato answered her question, turned around to stare at the girl through squinting blue eyes. "You didn't have to turn the light on, ya know?"
"Sorry, " she looked at the ground.
"Don't worry about it, sit down if you like," Matt motioned at the seat that clearly didn't have any clothes dangling from it and was vacant to be actually sat on.
Hikari knew that there was nothing else to do, and she had been particularly tedious because Mimi had been showing Sora her old yearbook of the people that she would see the following day. She dragged the wooden chair forwards, to be closer to the dirty blond-headed boy and then came to realization that startling dried tears had dried up on his face.
" Sup with you? You look…"
"Yeah, I know. Like shit," he laughed. Though his laughter didn't reach his deep blue eyes at all. "So are you goin' to wait n speak to Tai or somethin' ? Is that why you came here."
"Not really, just wanted to check up on him."
"Good enough answer," Yamato answered back.
"What do you mean?"
"Trust me here, Hikari Kamiya," Matt spoke. " When you're in my position, you're the person that simply stands there is noting down what is happening without anyone realizing…."
"Err…huh?" she gazed back at him in confusion.
" I mean, when you're always hauled with problems all the time I see it as well…"
"Oh, I see," she bluntly said back, even though she was still confused on what he was talking about.
"I'm thrust with problems, lil Hikari.I hear this and that and a try my best to make it better, but nothing ever prevails. I'll tell you why Hikari? It's because nothing ever works. I'm always outcasted with all these secrets, which I keep…and I don't know why the hell I haven't become insane yet. Even when you're brother used to be part of that gang, back in Odaiba…it was always me who was there…to actually look out for him. I was one of his real friends, not the friends that would run away whenever one got into deep shit."
"I remember," Kari stated as she looked down at her feet, trying to avoid the furious and distracted expression on his face. " I remember how it was you who would be at home, staying awake every night to help my brother since we weren't as close as we used to be anymore. I didn't know how you could deal with it all. How you had to be strong for that idiot, TK, even though he was treatin' everyone like shit as he still is…"
"I don't know if I can deal with it again…anymore," Yamato gave a stressful sigh. " Sora won't speak to me, but I think I already know why to that…after what happened that night. I'm really starting to hate it how everyone's been going up to me asking for advice, I don't even have a proper life myself…I ain't perfect."
"No one's perfect."
"Damn right that is," Matt shrugged, leaning on his side to face her. " Freakin'…Ey, sorry for spilling' all these beans on ya…just been pretty stressed lately, needed to get most of it out instead of always thinkin' of it. I'd probably have a mental breakdown if I hadn't told anyone something at least. You know…when you think most of the pressure is on you, and everyone's expectations."
"Yeah."
"You like my brother," Matt smiled. " Don't worry, he's probably goin' to come back."
"I know that."
"I mean, mentally. He's been actin' like how I was once - a bastard. I know he still has feelins for you, Hikari…so don't get emotional over him…it ain't worth it, aiight?"
"Sure," Kari laughed and gave him a quick embrace. "Thanks."
"Back at ya."
