LIMITZ
..CHAPTER 12/ Sibling fights..
By flipstahhz
('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')
Mimi Tachikawa walked down the street alone. The soft breeze rustled in the leaves above her, with the sun's glares filtering in between them…making her feel rather tired. The smell of thick gasoline filled the NY air . She occasionally glanced behind her.
Just to check if she was being followedMost likely from experience in her past…
It was never safe to go walking alone in these streets. It was truly reckless to be going by herself. And if she were to be caught off guard she could either be kidnapped, drugged, bashed up or even raped. That was the reality. Even though it was still afternoon, you still never could use it as an excuse. It was likely that anything least expecting could happen.
She usually didn't walk by herself. After attending school for the last couple of days she had usually went home with either Taichi, Sora or Yamato and even Hikari sometimes - though it was rare since she went to a different campus.
Confronting Jezebel at school took a toll out of her. Everyday was suspenseful trying to avoid her and seeing how she used to be just like her made her feel sick inside. She couldn't avoid her past. But she didn't want to go back to her childhood where she had been raised since she was young. It pained. The memories hurt. If she had the opportunity she wouldn't have come back to America, but she had no choice. She didn't want to get her dance crew down. She was a part of LimitZ and she wasn't going to hold them back since it would a big opportunity to show the world what they got and that they were the best.
Dancing was different. Every time she danced, her problems would be thrown away and she would perform her feelings through her dancing. Dancing had always been a part of her life, ever since she was young. She had been a ballerina…and ballet was danced with pure emotion. But she failed achieving this dream…and she dropped out of her ballet class. Screwed up with both her family and school. Went to Odaiba for a small vacation, to change. She wanted to try something different to anything else she had done before…so she tried hip-hop dancing. She couldn't believe it when she was accepted into LimitZ …who were now like a second family to her…she finally felt like she belonged somewhere. She had finally found a 'true' bestfriend…and she wouldn't have met Tai…
Through thick and thin they were there for each other. That's what she liked about them…so unlike her old friends who deserted her that she had become accustomed to. With lots of training the LimitZ crew became the top dancers in Japan. Would they conquer the world dance competition as well?
Mimi definitely didn't know. But she did know that she they were the closest friends she had ever had. And she wasn't going to destroy their ambitions and dreams by not wanting to go back to America. Being in LimitZ was already a dream fulfilled, and she was truly happy about it.
She closed her eyes. She was glad to be apart of LimitZ…but there were still too much problems and commotions going on. It was too much drama for her…but she had dealt with drama all her life.
Tai…
When would his name leave her alone? Her eyes snapped open as she continued to walk down the street, unaware of how long she had been walking for. What was going on behind her back? How come Drew and Taichi were passing notes throughout class?
Her head was tingling with curiosity. It bothered her a lot. She was just afraid Drew might tell Tai about what had happened two years ago or they either might get in to some gay idiotic fight. " I wonder," she murmured to no one in particular. " What they were up to…"
Mimi shook her head to herself as she had noticed that she had already made it to her house. In routine, she grasped the bunch of mail from the mailbox and walked towards the main entrance of the building. The brunette headed girl then unlocked the door to the house and thrust the key into her pocket. She could feel the presence of someone else in the house because of the sound of the television being flicking through every channel, and not stopping at one specific television station.
"Aren't I supposed to have the place to myself?" she questioned herself once again as she pulled her wavy hair out of the way into a tight bun. " Well…I'd better check it out. Our security system is pretty good…so I don't think it'll be a thief or anything…"
The female slowly paced down the hallway and quietly approached the living room.
xxxxx
I've been waiting all day here
for ya babe
so wont cha come sit and talk to me
and tell me how we're gonna be together always
i hope you know that when it's late at night
I hold on to my pillow tight
and think 'bout how you promised me forever
(I never thought that anyone) could make me feel this way
(now that you're here boy, all I want) is just a chance to say
The tension from her easily left her as she let out a sigh of relief when she had seen the younger blond boy head boy lounging about on the comfy sofa.
"TK!" she exclaimed as she took a seat next to him giving the teenager a sisterly tight embrace. " Sup wit you? What you doin' ere kiddo!"
"I'm just here," he snapped as he looked passed her shoulder observing what was on the screen of the television.
Mimi Tachikawa let go of her embrace while rolling her eyes, " Fine, don't have to be a lil bitch. Where's Yamato, thought he was sick or something…"
"We traded places," Takeru replied simply, " He told me we had dance training tonight so I just came."
"I see…is it because he's sick?"
"That's right, so the idiot just rocked up at my school and is lying in my bed at this moment – pretending to be me. Such a lazy ass," TK commented irritably.
"Oh…I see," Mimi giggled but didn't hear or see him laugh with her. It was as if the young cheeky yet cheery TK she had once known had turned into some cold-headed blockhead. Like a younger version of what his old brother used to be. She frowned.
"So why aren't you at school?" TK asked unable to sustain his suspiciousness any longer.
" Our campus always finishes early on Fridays, " Mimi filled in.
"Then why ain't Tai n Sora back yet?"
"Sora's at tennis, Tai's at soccer practice. And if you're wonderin' Kari doesn't finish school the same time as us, which is why she isn't back as well."
"No…I wasn't wondering," he cursed harshly with his eyes glaring now at the television screen. " Jeez…why does everyone have to tell me about her."
"Well…sorry," Mimi rolled her eyes. Even though TK was an ass, she had a certain that he still liked Kari.
get out (leave) right now
it's the end of you and me
it's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone
cause I know, about her (move)
and I wonder (why)
how I bought all the lies
you said that you would treat me right
but you were just a waste of time (waste of time)
Choosing to change the subject, Mimi followed his glaring gaze towards what was on the television. " Man…that girl, she's got one voice. And she's younger than you and Hikari! Still can't get over the fact that she's only thirteen. But when you look closely you can see a bit of baby fat…"
"Whatever."
"Oh my god! TK…I'm serious…you're so fricken' moody these days. Iz like you're secretly a girl that has her rags everyday! Farq man…I don't understand what the hell wit you!" Mimi finally burst out.
"I," TK spat back, " Am no girl! Maybe it's you that got your rags!"
Not wanting to get TK on his bad side, not that he already was on it, she hid her anger and gave the boy as she ruffled his messy hair. " I'm jus playin' with you…daz awl! So how's your girl friend? Issit that Jojo girl on TV…cause she vaguely reminds me of Hikari!"
" Who gives a fuck about Hikari…"
Suddenly Mimi became serious. " TK…what the hell issit with you and Hikari? You n her were hittin' it off before we came here. Even though you broke up you were speakin' to each other…and now all you do is shout or argue with everyone that you come across!"
"What the? First Matt…now you! Why do all you guys have to fricken tell me bout her. As if I really want to know bout her! Ya'll treat me like a lil kid…why can't you just…arghh," he sighed furiously and got off the seat and walked upstairs to his room, " just leave me alone…"
"No shit I'll leave you alone if you act like that!"
Mimi leaned back into the warm chair and simply watched the end of the music clip, since there was nothing else to do. Attempting a conversation with TK like this was hopeless. She just hoped this angst phase would get over and done with and bring back the TK she had once met.
get out (leave) right now
it's the end of you and me (hey yeah)
it's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone (you to be gone)
cause I know, about her (move)
and I wonder (why)
how I bought all the lies
you said that you would treat me right (treat me right)

The auburn headed girl watched from the bench as she waited patiently for Taichi's training to be over, earlier she had made a deal with him that she'd walk back to Tachikawa's residence with him. Her tennis practise had already finished half an hour ago, which was why she waiting out in complete boredom. Her body was aching and exhausting and her face was still scarlet from running everywhere on the tennis court.
Her warm eyes gazed across the soccer field with the numbers of players running after one ball. It was almost like tennis, though there were less people and in tennis you had to hit the ball with a racket rather thank kicking it…also the size of the ball was very different. She smirked when she realized that Tai was in possession of the soccer ball.
"Taichi! " the coach ordered in a loud growling voice, " Now that you've got the ball strike for the goal! It's right in front of you…let's see what you've got!"
Tai's feet thudded upon the short green grass, his spiked hair was held back with a red bandana and beads of sweat rolled down his energetic determined face. As he was about to get the ball in the goal he blocked one of his opponents whom was trying to steal it off him, and quickly kicked a goal.
"Great work Kamiya!" the coach complimented in admiration.
But Sora's eyes were presently focused on the guy that had lost his balance and fell to the ground – the guy whom had tried to steal the ball off Tai. The guy was presently being helped up by one of the members in the soccer team.
The situation reminded her…of Yamato. Was Yamato going to be alright? She felt rather guilty of how she had forced him to fight against her when she hadn't known he was sick all along. She knew it couldn't be right of how he had just passed out after all those kicks and fists he had dodged. From her point of view, she could tell he was very experienced in martial arts…so it hadn't have possible been her luck that when she punched him, it had sent him sprawling on the floor. Wonder if he's well…
"Did you see that!" a voice broke up from behind her. " Ain't I good! See how I kicked the goal!"
" Ha! Yeah with the help of your coach! You cocky lil boy!" Sora laughed. " So we going now? Soccer practice finally finished?"
"Yeah…let's go," Taichi smirked.
The two walked out of thee grass field onto the cement and walked to the direction of Mimi's home.
"Sor…what's up? You look a bit red in the face. What's happening?" he laughed.
" You should be happy that I actually waited for you, boring my ass off in the process," Sora said dangerously.
"Tss…whatever! You just didn't want to walk home by yourself cause you'd look like a loner," Tai jeered.
" Shutup you…I could talk about Mimi and you"
"Nah…or relationship ain't goin' anywhere…I still have to know my facts first and get things straight with Andrew," Taichi explained.
"You finally speakin to him?"
"You could say that, I guess."
"Right…"
Taichi took off his bandana and wiped his sweat with it, " You still haven't answered my question. So…why are you flushed…or is it because the one and only is right before your eyes."
"Keep wishing. You got Meems to deal with," Sora laughed then her facial expression became dark, " Uh…just tennis practice was hella annoyin'…I think I might as well just drop out of it."
"Why is that?"
"Coach's a bitch. And the other people in the team are sluts that can't play at all. They either run away from the ball or drop their tennis racket whenever we're playing," she explained. " Bloody bimbos."
"So it must have been easy for you. You would of have whooped some asses right? Why you so down and want to drop out for? You can get through this. No point backin' out now. You're probably the best there."
"Gee thanks…but still," Sora groaned, " Those slutty chicks have their boyfriends hanging around in the court. And all they do is check us out the whole time…and knowing how I'm a klutz, I fell and you understand it from there since I have a skirt on and how you are a guy."
Taichi laughed, " Now that's embarrassing. I don't see any harm for you to drop out now. But then again, all guys aren't perverted…if Yamato knew this he'd bash those guys up for you."
"Sure, as if I'd believe that. Anyway…you get kinkii all the time…when Mimi's around so I wouldn't be talkin' bout it," Sora sneered to get the attention away from her and to shade it over her friend instead. And it worked.
"Tss…hey Sora…talkin' about Yamato. Have you seen Yamato around lately? I haven't seen him, he was supposed to be in my English class."
"You haven't heard?" she questioned.
"Nup," he replied simply.
Sora then explained what happened at the gym a couple of hour's back. At the end of her explanation, they had already reached their home and entered the home from the back way, since they didn't have the keys.
Out of nowhere Mimi appeared in front of them with a rather angered expression. She ignored the fact that she wasn't supposed to talk to Taichi and stormed towards them with nothing but annoyance written on her face, " I can't believe this!"
She began waving her hands in the air.
"Can't believe what, Meems?" Sora asked as she caught a letter in her hand.
"They are all assholes, the whole bunch of them! Bloody hell…argghh…how the hell we supposed to do this? Here…read this! Sick of them being so darn unorganised!" she tossed the letter to Tai…and he began to read aloud…
To the LimitZ dancers,
We are sorry for the disturbance, yet again. We have come to inform you that the date of the competition has been rescheduled to be held in a month's time. It will
"You fo' real!" exclaimed Sora but was hushed by Mimi as Taichi continued to read the remaining of the letter. " How pissing!"
- be located at the Royal Stadium. If other disturbances happen again, you will be informed straight away.
Regards and good luck
Corrine Colum
World's Dance Competition Secretary
"That cunt! Always changin' the schedule…what the fuck is up her ass?" the three spun around to see TK with his eyes in hatred.
"It mightn't be her fault…TK."
"Who care's! It's just so damn annoying seeing how organized the whole lot of that Dance Competition Staff are," TK spat in sarcasm.
"TK-"
"No, TK's got a point," Mimi interrupted in agreement. " They have no right always changing the schedule…now we have to practice more than ever, that it's a month away. It'll be hard under these circumstances…with TK at a different school and with even you two at your sport practice."
"We just have to try hard…and we'll get through…even if we don't come first," Sora commented.
"Which we will," Tai said firmly with confidence.
"We can only hope on that, Tai…only hope," TK said darkly as he walked away from the three.
"That boy's got lots of mood swings," Mimi rolled her eyes. " Always thinking negatively…"
" He just needs a break. Guess we all do," sighed Sora giving an exhausted yawn. All the tension was making her tired.
('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')
Yamato sighed then inhaled the smoke. He ran his fingers through his hair and closed his eyes…savouring it with obsession. His eyes automatically opened as he watched Daisuke close the door of the room.
"You're unbelievable. Now I see where TK gets his stubbornness from," Daisuke shook his head and sat next to the older boy. " It's also unbelievable how you're sick…and you still smoke…come on, I think you should just get off it. Maybe you should just get better then smoke."
"Who cares."
"I do," Daisuke said coolly, " I do if I get caught…or you do…or TK does in that fact. Don't think our school would want you and TK to swap places for not a really good valid reason. Smoking isn't allowed here at school. It's like the number one rule. Just follow my advice and drop it. For all I know, they might mistake you for TK and put it down on his record! Shouldn't you know responsibility since you're the older one here?"
"For TK…yeah, I'll do it," Matt muttered as he let go of the cigarette and stepped on it, " Even though he's dick of a brother."
"Yeah…hell right he's a dick once in a while. I gotta agree on that one," laughed Daisuke. " But I still haven't got the reason why you traded places with him…"
"I don't know if TK told it – that we're part of this dance group. Called LimitZ. Since he hadn't gotten into practicin' a lot these days…thought it might've been alright. Also he can get a break from schoolwork. Since I am sick, I decided to seek this opportunity for him. It just all clicks. If you know what I'm sayin' "
"Sure I do. I also knew about TK bein' a dancer, though I found it hard to believe on the first place. Though I caught him a couple of times break dancing at night," Daisuke smirked. " And I don't think he needed a break from school work."
"What do you mean?" Yamato stared at the brunette in wonder.
" He's always handing everything last minute and still ends up getting A's."
"That's normal," Matt shrugged, " At least he's doing his work. I thought he wouldn't and be bludging the whole time. Thanks."
"For what?"
"I know you probably made him do his work or somethin' like that," laughed Matt for the first time. " He wouldn't have done it on his own will."
"Ahuh. That's right," Daisuke joined his laughter. " It's wonders how he does it and gets through with it…"
"It's one of his idiotic traits…like basketball for instance. He always used to whip my butt at it ever since we were little kids without even trying. It was so damn embarrassing. It's stupid how he's hardly playing it anymore. A waste of talent that I'll never have," Matt frowned. " Our mother used to write…but she gave up on it for something else instead. I hate it when people waste their talents…which is why I'm sort of forcing TK to go to this school…so if he doesn't have anything left that he wants to be or do, this can be an open resort to him."
"What do you mean?"
"TK used to like to write," Matt said proudly with pride in his younger brother, " Just don't tell him I told you. When he was youngster he had wanted to become a writer. He just hasn't told anyone lately cause he's either embarrassed, ashamed or doesn't want his status to be destroyed."
"Yeah…but not only have you told me one thing about TK I didn't know…but he plays basketball!" Daisuke muttered. He exclaimed, " Since when!"
"Well…now you know," shrugged Matt with a brief smile. " Guess you still have a lot to learn about him after all…"

At the front of La Trobe Junior Campus students walked by with triumphant expressions on their faces, relieved that their school day had finally come to a close. Dark clouds had appeared in the once sunny sky and two people were engrossed in a conversation.
"Whadda long day," Hikari Kamiya commented to the boy besides her. Her short brown hair fighting against the strong breeze, " Damn…it's getting cold. My bet's that it's gunna rain soon."
"You can say that again," said a male, the same age as herself whom had dark brown hair, which was close enough to black, " How you gettin' home?"
"Uhhh…I think I'm probably gunna walk home by myself. The other guys from the Senior Campus have already finished so I guess I'll be a loner today."
"You? Walkin' by yourself … nu-uh…I don't think so…too dangerous to go off by yourself. I'll get my bro – JP - to give you a lift. He'll drop you off since he always gives lifts to Ken and Yolei almost everyday and Mimi's house is on the way. You just gotta avoid his not updated burned CD's…daz awl."
"Okay," she shrugged and rolled her eyes, " So JP's your bro? Pretty typical since your names are almost identical."
"Half identical," he corrected with a wink, " Mine's JR and his is JP…there's a difference alright. So we're pretty close to be identical brothers."
"So what do you call each other? Not that it's already short enough. Do you go…hey P! Instead of JP…or -"
"Ha…Kari…very funny," it was JR's time to roll his eyes.
"Why does your bro, JP or whatever you like to cawl him, pick up Lei and Ken? Ken doesn't go to dis school…so why-"
JR interrupted her, " Well, he comes because he's just plain simply bored. He walks here everyday to fetch Yolei up…but then my bro usually ends up dropping the two of them off."
"Why? What does Ken do all day?"
"Not sure. Even though me and him are tight, we gotta have our own space. Even though he's very secretive…I know he's a trustable and loyal guy," JR smiled.
"Easy for you to say since your group threatened to kill me when we first met all of you," Kari said seriously but she couldn't hold it in and gave a mocking nudge on his shoulder.
" What are you two getting' all touchy for?" a husky, yet cheeky, voice broke behind them.
The pair turned around to see a teenage boy and girl staring straight at them, hand in hand.
"Sup? Can we like get a move on now? JP's already out in front of the gate waiting for us. Seriously, how slow can the both of you go, hurry up already! You are comin' aren't you, Kari ?" Yolei yapped.
Before Hikari knew it, the four of them were already in a vehicle driving over to the Tachikawa's Residence. She had already been introduced to JR's older sibling and had an uncanny appearance of him. But instead of the grey eyes JR had…he had a unique set of azure ones and had a tougher built body.
xxxxx
What I need, is a pretty woman
next to me
(Oh please baby)
To share the dreams that I Believe
( I need a girl in my life)
Maybe we could start a family
(Start a family baby)
Someone who truly understands, how to treat a man
This is what I need
"See…told you he listens to old music, " JR reminded Kari.
"Tsss…It ain't dat bad. I thought you meant he would listen to borin' classical songs," Kari said, " Ya know? Tha ones where you can dislocate your jaw from yawnin' to?"
"Trust me…I know," Ken responded. " I've had experience with that…and damn it can get real a pain in the neck."
"See? My songs ain't that bad, even pretty little Hikari said so…maybe it's you who needs to get new songs bro!" snapped JP as he ruffled his brother's hair, whom was sitting next to him in the front seat. " For now just leave me with the tunes that I like…I don't give a fuck what you think."
"I still think you need at least some new stuff…" JR then turned around to Yolei, Ken and Hikari, " Wait til' you listen to his other trash…"
(Is that all you want?)
Is a pretty woman next to me
(Made the sacrifice)
To share the dreams that I believe
(And maybe maybe we)
Maybe we could start a family
Someone who truly understands, how to treat a man
This is what I need, is a pretty woman next to me
To share the dreams that I Believe
Maybe we could start a family
Someone who truly understands, how to treat a man
This is what I need
Now that the song had finally concluded, it was also the end of Kari's lift. She jumped out of the car and carefully closed the door, with a wave goodbye the car had then left her eyesight.
Meanwhile, back in the car, JR pulled out his school diary. " Needa show ya all something…"
"What you got there?" Yolei questioned in wonder as she leaned closer to get a better view. " A picture! Is that who I think it is? How in the world did ja get that, JR!"
Throwing aside his curiosity, Ken also tried to get a glimpse of the photograph. It was of a two young children, most likely siblings, grinning back at him. " Kari and Tai? Why have you got that? Hah…I never even knew that those two siblings even liked each other, since they're at each other's heads every time they're a inch away from one another. It's too bad that they ain't getting' along any mo'."
"Shutup Ken!" giggled Yolei as she pushed him back against the comfy seat. " They'll get along eventually. If somethin' bad happens…I'm pretty sure they'll be at each others side…cheering each other on…"
"Easy for you to say," Ken rolled his eyes at his girl friend. " So … JR, why have you got this ancient piece of material?"
"Uhh…I sort of asked for it…"
"How come? I don't think Kari would have given it to you that easily," JP glanced at his brother then looked back to the road he was steering on.
"Well…since we're both in the same photography class…-"
"You take photograph-" Ken's mouth was covered by Yolei's hand as she hushed him, then urged JR to proceed in explaining.
" Let's just say Kari had brought some old film she had taken back in Japan, many years back. Cause we had to develop a black and white photo…she had no choice but to develop this one cause she wasn't at our school when we took group photos…"
"Yeah?"
"I got this because…I sort of lied her to…It's a magnificent image, it captures Taichi and Hikari's past so well…and the black and white makes it more unique and well suited to the siblings. So I pretended that I had some English Essay due on brotherly and sisterly love and asked her to have it as back up for it," JR informed with a smirk slowly appearing on his face.
"But I still think it's weird how you wanted the picture of the two…" Yolei started. " Don't you think she's got enough guys in her life already? Don't tell me you have a crush on her…?"
"No I don't, " JR shook his head, " But can't you see it already?"
"See what? That you got the hots for Hikari! I never saw that one comin'," Ken said sarcastically, though he was waiting for his query to be correct.
"NO! Jeez you guys are blockheads…! There's a photography contest," JR spilled the beans as he threw his hands in the air as if everyone knew about it. " All I gotta do is jus fill her name on the form and send the photo to the company. I'm pretty sure she's got a good chance in winning. After all, it's perfect. From the focus to the tones and shades…If she wins…she gets a whole lotta money…"
"But will she be interested?"
" I don't know…but she'll definitely be surprised. Even if she doesn't care for the money, it'll look darn good on her resume if she wanted to get a job or anything. This contest is one of the biggest in the state! This form of art will easily win the competition."
"And still you don't like the arts of my music," JP teased quietly to himself, shaking his head at the wild dreams the younger teenagers were talking about. He was one of them at a certain time of his life, but he had simply grown out of it.
All dreams didn't come true…and that was the reality…well to him, in this case.

"It's Friday night. Shit, the week went by so fricken' fast," Tai said in a casual tone with a smile. " Yet we always go to diz same ol' club - it's Dysfunktion right? Wish we could go to some other club."
Kari gave her brother a brief and weird glance then walked ahead of him with Sora. She whispered in the older girl's left ear. " I think my bro's finally cracked it. He's actually happy and trying to talk - not snap - at me. He probably drugged himself or somethin'….maybe he needs to go to da doctors, ya know!"
Sora flicked her slightly on the forehead with a laugh, " C'mon Kari, get off it. Don't be so paranoid. Maybe you should just play along and pretend that you aren't fightin' after all. It'll save everyone some trouble and then you can act like normal brother and sister and pretend that nothing happened and that there's no fight goin' on anymore."
Kari shrugged. " Keep wishin'…it's not me that's sayin' sorry. No way."
The auburn-headed girl shook her head. The Kamiya pair were two of the most stubborn people she had ever met. She was stuck with them because Mimi and Takeru had headed off to the club earlier and were going to meet them there.
"Guys," Sora started uneasily, " I still don't get why we are goin' back to dis place. Yeah, I understand how we always chill here…but…what about our other priorities?"
"Priorities?" Kari repeated with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah…what fucked up priorities?" Tai questioned slyly.
"Maybe the fact how we needa pay some attention to our dance moves for the competition in the followin' month…which we haven't even practiced at all for such a long time. Even though a month seems pretty far away, you don't know how fast time will travel…" Sora complained.
"Sora…" Kari began, " Don't your remember? We talked over this earlier, before we decided to go out tonight. The main thing is that we loosen up a bit then get more serious as we come towards the competition. What's dancin' when we are all stiff and tense? We didn't only go to diz place jus to have fun, but to also learn from other dancers and see, for ourselves, the type of techniques that's out."
"How bout the music, then! Matt's in charge of the music…and he still hasn't prepared it ye-"
"Matt's never failed us with that…which is why you should probably dial him up tonight about how the contest has be rescheduled," Kari answered. " He has a right to be told what the stupid staff of the dance comp changed the date."
"Nicely said."
"Shut up Tai…you're not supposed to be a agreeing with me," Kari said in a rather bitchy tone. She still didn't really trust how her brother was suddenly nicer to her…it was absolutely out of the ordinary.
"Oh I see," Sora understood. " But I still don't feel quite good bout it…next week or tomorrow, we'd better have a good practice. We're takin' a risk here…our time is rare and limited."
"Sora, seriously. Don't get all worked up and stressed. Take a rest, no actually give the competition a rest! We've come to deal with more than this…this is definitely nothin' in compared with what we'll went through back in Odaiba. There's no reason to be getting' stressed over it…your mum wouldn't have wanted that. We aren't called LimitZ for no darn reason…we're always here for each other, " Tai said sternly. " We ain't backin' out of nothin'."
"Alright…whatever, bu-"
"MOVE out of the way, ya hoes!" yelled a husky voice behind the three teenagers. Immediately, the three were pushed aside as a group dressed in dark colours made their entrance into the club.
"What nerve…those bastards!" Kari spat. " What the fuck are they fricken' thinkin'? Pushin' us away like that! Arghh…"
"Chillax Hika…no need to get hot headed over nothin'. You wouldn't stand a chance against them all…anyway, it was actually us that were in the way. I mean…after all we are in front of the door…what do you expect?" Sora said thoughtfully talking sense into the younger girl, " We'd better get in before we get into more tight shit…"
"You're too understanding, Sora," Kari sighed.
The three pushed themselves inside, through the dancing sticky crowd of people. Smoke had already risen in the atmosphere as lights flashed at them from numerous directions. The sickening taste of sweat filled the building as music boomed throughout the whole entire club…

It's a lovely day, just got paid,
Stack it up, be on my way,
Lovely day, lovely day,
Lovely day, lovely day,
It's a lovely day, just got paid,
Stack it up, be on my way,
Lovely day, lovely day,
Lovely day...
Taichi Kamiya saw Sora mimic to Hikari and him that she'd spotted Mimi and was going to go to her. He watched as Sora and Hikari advanced to the other side of the club to meet up with Mimi. He planned not to hang out with all of them. He was certainly aware that being with three girls at the same time could cause trouble. Even though he hated to admit it, the truth behind it was that he wasn't ready to face Mimi yet…he wanted to know more about Andrew and what happened before he could approach her without hesitating.
Off course he'd heard the rumours, almost everyone had…even Sora and Yamato had probably heard it but didn't want to believe what they were hearing, so avoiding it altogether. Taichi couldn't. He had to know…
Either way if he did go near Mimi, it was most likely he'd get kicked out of the club from because of the last time he had settled in there and all the commotion Andrew and he had caused.
Besides, if he went near her he'd probably get kicked out of the club since the last time he was here had a pretty bad fight against Andrew. He let out a frustrated sigh and decided to check on his sister. He watched through the dance floor as her head bopped to the music, already dancing with some stranger. What the hell! He suddenly swore to himself as he realized what his younger sibling was wearing.
She wore a very short black mini skirt and a very tight orange boob tube… It sickened her…at the moment all he wanted to do was wrap his jacket around her so that horny guys wouldn't lay any glances on his sister. He felt weak…not physically, but mentally. He knew it was his fault all along. He knew that he had let his sister down. Taichi gave another heavy sigh as he danced to the music and moved closer to his sibling. He wasn't going to give up that easily…he had to at least try and make things better with Hikari and himself…Mimi would have to wait.
After all, he had thought this over so many times at night. He hadn't been getting much sleep lately because he would wake up to Yamato talking in his sleep…either about Sora or Takeru. To him, it was if they were on the same boat. Girl problems and younger sibling problems. He hadn't told anyone about Yamato's sleeping problem and also noted that he had to get around and confront his best friend about it some time soon.
Shrugging it off, he danced his way in front of Hikari. Instantly her facial expression scrunched up into a clear greasy, directed at him. " What you doin' here! Fuck off Tai!"
Tai ignored her and accidentally let the wrong words slip out of his mouth, " What you wearing tonight Hikari? You plannin' to get laid, huh? Is that it, Kari! Fucking hell! Put more clothes on, will you!"
"Screw you, Tai! Why can't you just leave me alone? That's what you've been good at!" she exclaimed over the loud music. She fumbled her way from him and passed the groupies dancing to the music, not realizing that her brother had his eyes upon her as she finally was out of his eyesight.

Got love for the corporate playas that's ballin' rollin' jags,
Got love for the thug nigga's who get' it on tha ave.,
Love for those, who can make a mil and sit back and laugh,
And love for the fine stripper's who get it poppin' ass,
Love for the single parent's that's workin' through the struggle,
Love for those who gotta make a livin' movin' muscle,
Love for those who gotta watch tha hater's rollin' bubbles
Furiously Kari found her way through the crowds of people and grabbed a drink from the bar, gulping the alcohol down swiftly, not caring who the drink belonged to. Stupid Tai…what a dickhead? Doesn't he fricken' understand what he puts me through, already? What the hell is fucked up with his head? Moron
"Take it easy there," a voice spoke behind her.
In avoidance she grabbed another glass and felt the liquid treacle down her throat. Feeling the alcohol slowly taking its place she stared back at the same startling eyes and then choked. The boy patted her back, but not too hard, hand against her back.
"Thanks," she gurgled.
"I think you should go home," he said glancing around just in case…
Causin' trouble every time a young brotha try to hustle,
And if I can't, legally make or not...
Then I gotta get, right back on the block...
And if it no work we do a stick-up and whip-up a concoction,
Might leave yo face down in the dirt because hurtin's not an option...
Gotta get that money man...
Her head drooped over the table and observed the boy in familiarity. Perhaps it was his strands of blond hair covering his azure sparkling eyes." Your eyes…they're so much like Takeru's…TK, I mean…but he's an ass now…what's your name?"
Angel's expression sparked with frowned at the name. He knew it was bad…Where had he heard the name before? He'd heard her brother talkin' bout it before…TK…who was this TK? His brother…he knew his brother had something planned for him that night…and he certainly knew it was bad…
"I don't get how two cups of alchi could get you like this already…perhaps someone slipped somethin' in it. Don't worry bout that…how bout I get you home, at my crib…to get you fixed u-"
"You'll be taking her no where," a voice snapped at him.
Angel took a glimpse at the person who'd spoken to him. He looked the same age as himself and wore baggy jeans, a black beanie and a loose dark green jumper. His eyes were fiery as they stared upon him. " Leave her alone…"
"And who are you?" Angel asked him, startled…they looked so similar to each other…it was if he were staring at his own reflection, only the guy was wearing different clothing. " Don't need to get awl damn possessive."
Takeru took of his beanie displaying his almost identical hair to himself. " The name's TK. I don't care if I get possessive…can you just let go of her and leave her alone! I don't wanna cause no trouble…"
"You're the one that goin' to get in trouble if you try to pick a fight with my friend, here," Angel's friend, Dan came next to him. " Back off…What have you got to do with Hikari, anyway?"
TK held back his shock. They knew her name…but how?
"Stop fightin' you gu-" Kari got cut of as she let her head drop against the table, falling unconscious.
"What did you do to her!" TK asked, more like yelled, in anger. " Who are you?"
It's a lovely day, just got paid,
Stack it up, be on my way,
Lovely day, lovely day,
Lovely day, lovely day,
It's a lovely day, just got paid,
Stack it up, be on my way,
Lovely day, lovely day,
Lovely day...
"Who are you?" TK repeated more coolly.
"This guy causin' you any trouble, bro?" questioned a new person that stood besides Angel as well.
"No…I - I don't know," Angel was confused…
Angel's brother gazed in front of him to see the blond headed boy helping a girl at walked towards him in recognition. " Ey TK? You owe us, man. I didn't know it was you…so where's the cash?"
Takeru turned around, with Hikari in his arms. As he realized the other person who had just spoken to him knew his name…he was one of Acey's friends…oh shit, he thought…
"I … I don't have it. I'll pay up next week," TK replied in a casual and calm tone.
"You…you two know each other?" Angel looked from his brother to TK…
"No…he just owes me, and Ace, a debt…that's all. I'm goin' to fetch Acey…Angel, don't let TK go anywhere…we need something to settle…"
Angel's older sibling left the group.

I don't know bout cha'll
But I know about us and uh
This is the only way
We know how to rock
I don't know bout cha'll
But I know about us and uh
This is the only way
We know how to rock
Do you remember girl
I was the one who gave you your first kiss
Cause I remember girl
I was the one who said put your lips like this
Even before all the fame and
People screaming your name
Girl I was there when you were my baby
"Get out of here…I don't know how you know Hikari and how you got yourself messed with my bro's group…but you'd better go…," Angel said darkly, breaking through the loud and noisy music. " There's something goin' on…and it doesn't look good. Kari seems to know you, and I don't want her to get dragged into this mess."
TK gave a thankful nod and scurried away from them, still with Hikari in his arms.
"What are you sayin', Gel…we don't even know this guy. We can't just let him go…" Dan questioned his friend as he gave an uncertain glance at TK and the unconscious Hikari whom were making there way out of the club at the moment. "Your bro just said that yo-"
"I know what my bro said…I very well know the consequences to this shit…but I don't know TK's side of the story. He needed a chance, which I gave. If he's a friend of Kari's, then he's gotta have some sense of good in him. After all, now I know why Kari never wanted to be with me in the first place," Gel sighed. " It seems that TK and I…are too much alike…"
It started when we were young girl
You were mine my boo
Now another brother's taking over
But its still in your eyes my boo
Even though we used to argue it's alright
I know we haven't seen each other
In awhile but you will always be my boo
I was in love with you when we were younger
You were mine my boo
And I see it from time to time
I still feel like my boo
And I can see it no matter
How I try to hide my boo
Even though there's another man in my life
You will always be my boo
Takeru Takaishi rushed out of the club. That night, he was trying to avoid everyone from Acey's Clan…but he was unsuccessful and let his mouth take over his mind as he saw Kari with that other guy…Angel or somethin' like that, he thought to himself. He gazed down at the girl in his arms…and shook his head as she noticed that she was shivering…then he felt someone's eyes behind him. Instantly he gave a harsh turn and was about to hit the person whom was coming after him, but realized it was Tai.
"What the hell, TK? What happened to my sister? Some guys are lookin' around for you…what the hell is happening? What the fuck! Why am I out of the loop? Damn it," Tai growled as he shook with confusion searching for answers from him. " What is it…? What's happening"
"Hold her for a min. Got caught in some business," TK passed Hikari's passed out body in her brother's arm and swiftly pulled his jumper off, thrusting it upon her shivering body. " Go…NOW!"
"TK…"
"Go, Tai! Get the fuck out of here…NOW!" glowered TK as he gasped for breaths of air, wiping away the sweat forming on his forehead. " I think someone spiked some drugs in her drink…just get out of here now…go back to Meems…I needa take care of somethin'."
Tai shook back his hesitation and turned right of the street, " You'd better explain everythin' later! Take care, bro!"
"I need it," TK muttered as he turned the direction where he had come from and watched a group coming towards him.
This definitely had to be the reason why he had been snappy ever since coming back to Tachikawa's house. He was scared he would confront them. But he wasn't going to run anymore…he almost had got Kari tangled in this mess. He was ready to face his problems even though he knew it was quite recklessly dangerous.
('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')
On the other side of the street another bunch of people walked together.
"You know, I don't see no reason goin' to Dysfunction tonight, since we are already hours late…thanks to Ms. Innoe here," Ken teased.
"You…shutup! I didn't know what to wear…"
"Since when didn't you know what to wear, my lil tomboy," he winked.
"You're askin' for it aren't you Mr. Ichijouj-"
"TK…is that TK, with them?" JR interrupted as he squinted his eyes to get a better view.
From what the group could see, there were about eight people circled around a blond headed boy whom kept getting up after every blow they hit him with.
"I don't reckon. He's at St. Kevin's…ain't he?" Yolei asked uncertainly. She still recalled when Hikari and herself had spied and caught him talking to the clan…but why would Takeru be there when he was supposed to be back at his private boarding school? She gulped in uneasiness…yet…there still was a possibility that it could be him
Ken winced at the name of the school.
"If I were that guy, I'd stay down…" one of Ken's other friends spoke up. " Acey's always up to no good. And when he's with his group…they're as idiotic as anyone can get."
"I don't think it's TK, " Ken tried to convince himself then bitter realization struck him, " Oh shit! That could be Yamato! But then why would Yamato OR TK OR some other person is talkin' to them in the first place?"
"Stop being so darn confusing, Ken! Who gives a fuck! Fricken' can we quit guessin' who it is n help that poor guy out!" JR lost his patience. " WE can't just watch this guy get bashed and do notin' bout it, guys…man…For all we know that kid could be innocent, since that's the type of group that picks on anyone…"
"Figures," Yolei grumbled. " Why, JR, do you have to be so nice all the time?"
"It's my nature?" JR sneered.
"Are we doin' it or what? Let's just go help that guy out…anyway, it seems we got more people than Acey…" Ken decided.
The group was just about to head to them, but hesitated as they noticed that the dark figures that had been standing around the boy had vanished from sight.
"Guess we're too late," muttered Yolei.
"No…I think they saw us goin' towards them…let's check if that guy is aiight."
"I dun think he'd be 'aiight' after what just happened," JR objected.
"Whatever…let's just go and check on him…"
Ken, Yolei, JR and the rest of their friends hurried towards the boy. His blond hair drenched in sweat as he kneeled with his hands supporting his upper body on the ground. Drops of scarlet blood fell down onto the concrete floor, as his body couldn't take it anymore and collapsed onto it.
"From what I can see…he hasn't been really hurt or anything…Perhaps just a blood nose," observed Ken. " And bruises. Nothin' seems broken. Lei, check who it is…we might know this guy…and if we do, we'll call his friends…if he has any…"
Yolei bent down and slightly pushed the unconscious boy to his side half in shock and the other half in disbelief that it was really him…
"Who is it?" JR queried.
She stared at her friends in shock, grief and guilt. She should have told someone what he had been up to all that time, keeping it a secret with Kari wasn't good enough.
"It's TK…" she revealed with a frown.

What ya hear this time
Go on and speak ya mind
I know somebody's lying
It's always somethin
Her auntie told your cousin
Then all your homies jumped in
And now the whole hoods buzzin
He said, she said
Don't let it get in ya head
Baby don't say
Something that you will regret
I'm on your team
It's us against them you'll see
Hey, we ain't gon stop
They just want what we got
"MIMI!" Sora Takenouchi yelled over the music, " DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE HELL EVERYBODY WENT? I CAN'T FIND ANYONE HERE!"
The brunette headed girl, clothed in a pink and black striped casual dress danced her way to her distressed friend. " Nah Sor, I don't know…I've been dancin' wit Drew right beside ya the whole time! How the fuck would I know?
"Shit…I'm serious. No one's here. TK, Kari, Tai…do you think anythins' happenin?"
"Don't worry…they'll be alright…they can look after themselves, Sora…don't worry bout it."
"Alright Meems…but if you're lookin' for me, I'll be outside. It's too crowded in here," Sora screamed back. " Later!"
She slipped through the dancing people of different ages and as soon as she exited the building, took a deep gasp of the chilly fresh air. She started to shiver, remembering that she was only wearing black hipster jeans and a caramel sequenced tank top, showing her stomach off a bit. From outside she still could hear the feint music still booming inside Dysfunktion.
The more they talk about our love
The more they make it obvious
The more they seem so envious
How can they talk about our love
When they don't know one thing about
Instead they just runnin they mouth
So all we do is tune them out
Sora moved a few paces away from the door and suddenly felt her cell phone vibrating in her pocket. She pulled it out and answered the call, " Yo?"
"Hey…"
Realizing who it was she spoke in distaste, " What?"
"Just wanted to know why you messaged me earlier," the voice replied on the other line.
"Why I messaged you? I messaged you two whole hours ago because you wouldn't pick up your phone! Dammit, what else would you a buy a phone for?" Sora cried hysterically, " Yamato! Have you really lost it! You've had us all worried! You didn't even tell us what the hell happened to you! And out of nowhere, TK's here…and everyone didn't know where the hell you were! It took us a whole lot to get TK to explain the circumstance with the two of you switching places. Tomorrow, you'd better get your scrawny ass back here and get some doctor to check how you are!"
"Ahh! Gee calm down Sor…you're screaming right in the phone…I'm not bloody deaf already!" growled Matt with a glimpse of sarcasm. " As a matter of fact…I'm boring my ass right now? You're all at Dysfuntion, right? I can hear the music…"
"Yeah…since you rang up for no particular reason ."
"I have a-"
Sora avoided what he was about to say and continued to speak. " Well… since you've rang up…we got news from the World Dance Association crap…"
"And? What's up with it, now?"
"Uhh…because they've decided to reschedule the competition in month, you've gotta get the music ready and prepared within a week so we can practice to it," explained Sora really fast.
"WHAT?" Yamato said in disbelief. " What the fuck? How can I get it all done in a week when I don't even have any music or a burner on me! I was plannin to gather all the music till the end of this month, then probably hiring a burner off someone else…now I have no idea whom and where to get the music from! I've got tunes in mind…but…how can I do it in such a short time?"
"You will," muttered Sora with confidence. " Come on Matt…Please…we really need your help on this one. You'll find a way, somehow. That's why we all put you under the pressure of music!"
"I ca-"
Sora interrupted Matt again, " You can! Just find a way, like you always do. Perhaps there's some DJ over there, at TK's school, there's bound to be someone with musical skills there since it's full of rich snobs."
"Ey!" he exclaimed in defence.
"Just ask one of TK's friends and everythin' will be cool…"
"Ah…alright, I'll give it a spin," Matt's voice said. " So is TK there?"
"Huh, TK? "
"Yeah…I just want to confirm it that he actually went back, not cruising to some other place."
"Yeah, he's back. Matt, sometimes you've just got to trust your younger bro. Even though he's about three years younger than you…you've got to respect that he's older now," Sora sighed. " He ain't a lil kid anymore."
" But he sure acts like it. I'm not sure if I can ever trust him again when I know that he's hiding something from me. I'd better get goin' now, someone's comin'…take care Sora," with that Matt the line had been disconnected.
"Take care…" Sora murmured to herself, " Yeah right…he should be talkin' about himself…"
"SORA!" the auburn headed girl spun to her right to see a paled Yolei running to her in panic. " It's TK! There's somethin' wrong with TK!"
So much for tellin' Matt that TK can look after himself… Sora thought and with that sped after Yolei to figure out what happened this time…
The more they talk about our love
The more they make it obvious
The more they seem so envious
How can they talk about our love
When they don't know one thing about
Instead they just runnin they mouth
So all we do is tune them out

Yet, the longest chapter EVER in LimitZ OR in any of my other fanfics oO Though I might rewrite the end bit to this chapter, because it wasn't written well…(and from my point of view) seemed to be a bit rushed… because I don't think I explained it well enough for ya'll to understand " … guess after writing 32 pgs on word, it had a pretty darn toll on you. Oh and if you're wonderin', TK isn't really hurt that bad…you'd better wait till the next chapter…It'll be more angst and MORE violence. If you reckon how TK got hurt in this chapter…wait til chapter 13! (you guys will probably kill me after the end of that chapter when you figure out what I've done ) Anyway, that's it for now…cause I'm getting' tired Take care and review please!
