"So that's what happened," Yamato stated in a hushed dry tone, his eyes darkening at what he had just been revealed to. " So…why didn't she go tell the police or something!"
"My brother…he said threatened to hurt her parents, " Andrew responded weakly. He had just filled in Matt what he had told Tai earlier about Mimi. Throughout the conversation, he had begun to tremble in anger as he heard Drew recite the whole story again.
Matt gazed at his best friend with a frown as he nervously he ran his fingers through his streaks of dirty blond hair.
"This is what Mimi's been hiding all along, huh? I've never expected…well, sure it happens to many ladies these days…but Mimi? I still can't get over that it had to happen to her…she did nothing wrong. She didn't deserve it…"
"Where is he," Tai muttered lividly, his eyes sparking in dangerous rage. He couldn't hold his temper any longer, after keeping quiet for the past five minutes, it had gotten the best of him.
Calmly, Drew spoke… " Who?"
"You know fucking well who I meant. You're fucking brother!" he growled, with ever word he spoke his voice became louder and louder.
"Chill out, Tai," Matt frowned showing a glint of reassurance in his facial expression. He gave him a slight hit on the back. " If we just go blindly into somethin' without thinkin' stuff through…we'd be stupid. We'd just be causing more trouble…"
"He's right, you know," added Drew, not knowing that instead of making Taichi better, he was rapidly increasing his anger. " We should all get over it. It's finished. What happened, happened. It's the past."
"The past? How can we just forget this shit and let your screwed up fricking bitch of a brother get away with all this shit? Huh!" Taichi grabbed the collar of Andrew's scarlet fiery shirt that now matched his face.
Not approving to what he was witnessing, Matt spat in disgust. " That's it, Tai…you're doing stuff without thinking again. Why do gotta sometimes act so thick headed!"
"And what the fuck you gunna do about it?"
"This."
Matt pushed the two other boys away from each other and gave Tai a strong punch on his jaw, causing him to be thrown onto the floor. People around the food court stared at the obscene three meddlesome teenagers with suspicion.
"The hell?" Andrew spoke up first and then began questioning. " Why'd you punch Tai for? I could have well handled him myself. He's your friend…wh-"
Avoiding Andrew, Matt held out his hand to his brunette-headed friend, who was sprawling on the ground clutching his jaw and wincing in pain. Without hesitation, Taichi took it and gave it a good shake, " Thanks Matt. Guess I needed that, bro."
"Anytime Tai…anytime," Matt gave a weak smile. (a/n another small scene from Digimon. Series 2. lol)
On the other hand, Andrew was still confused at what was going on.
But Matt continued to speak again, " We've all been through enough tight shit as Mimi, herself, has been through. Right now, we just have to let time heal everything for her."
"Yet time leaves scars," Tai scared. " Especially for Meems…if only we knew her beforehand and prevented those aseholes from doing anything from her."
"Well…from what it looks like Mimi's been strong and not looking back on what happened. In other words, she's moved on. And so should we," Andrew commented with a casual shrug, " Dwelling or worrying bout it doesn't do nothing."
"Agreed," Matt concluded briefly then gave a wry smile. " Anyone want a cigi?"
"Gee," Drew laughed, " You got over it quickly."
Tai rolled his eyes…it would take a while for him to…

Though the movie had recently come out, there weren't as many people in the cinemas as expected by Sora Takenouchi and Mimi Tachikawa. The two tediously eyed the large wide screen before them, and scowls formed on their bored faces when they noticed two girls giggling irritably as the pair entered the cinema.
"Great," Sora Takenouchi groaned in annoyance, " Guess Jezebel and one of her bimbo friends will be sharing the movie with us."
"You know Jezebel?" Mimi questioned as she took a sip of cola.
"How could I not know that wench? She's been fuckin' giving me the shits ever since I started school. Not to mention, she's been trying to hit on Yamato and can't get the picture that he's not interested…since she still flirts with him. She's darn desperate, that one," cursed Sora with another sigh.
"No expectations there. I could just say that you're simply jealous. But I already know Jezebel's actions" whispered the chestnut headed girl back to Sora, " Just the same lil slut she always was. Once a bitch, always a bitch. Even after leaving America for two years, she's still the same. Can't even believe she was one of my best friends, back then. But then again, I was young. And she betrayed my trust by cheating on me with my own boyfriend."
Sora didn't know what to say…so all the rumors were true about her and…
"Mimi…so did you really get -" Sora wanted to confront her…but she intervened.
" And when I needed her the most, she turned her screwed up back on me…that hoe…"
" So seriously Meems…" Sora began to change the subject, perhaps she'd confront her another time. " Why'd you want to go out in the first place to watch a movie? I was sure that you were pissed off at bot Tai and Andrew and that you couldn't even be stuffed to go out today. Why'd you want to go out?"
"You caught on…haven't you?" Mimi gave a laugh, but her eyes didn't sparkle in enthusiasm, " Truthfully, I was real eager to sneak and find out what Tai and Drew were up to. Cause I find it real weird that they were deathly rivals, and suddenly they're now like good ol' mates."
"Understandable," Sora shrugged.
"Ahuh…but unfortunately we are excluded from the guys…" laughed Mimi," Guess my plan didn't work after al-"
"SHUT UP!"
Sora and Mimi glanced at the two girls in front of them with pure distaste and disgust. They both were clothed in tight tank tops and a extra short mini skirt that dug into their artificial tanned body.
"You losers, can't you see that 'we' are watching a movie and don't need to hear your fucking terrible voices."
The auburn-headed girl couldn't take it any longer, and stood up from her seat.
"No, why should we shut up when you two bitches have been squealing and giggling ever since you got your asses in this cinema. We were here first, and if you hadn't realized we were never talking to your sad asses. You slut, get laid Jezebel."
Mimi looked a bit paler as she stood face to face to her old best friend and her current best friend who looked generally pissed off at each other.
"Mimi," Jezebel spoke in a cold tone, her bitchiness overriding it, " If I were you I'd tell your lil friend here to keep her ugly trap closed and to show some respect. You know what I can do - maybe let history repeat itself?"
"Fuck you," cursed Mimi, as if she meant to do it, she grabbed her cola drink and spilt it over Jezebel's tight clothing, making sure that the brown fizzed liquid was all out of the cup.
"BITCH!" Jezebel squealed, " Look…look at what you've done…"
"No, you the bitch…bitch. Go fuck Acey, whore! You haven't changed no fucking bit."
"You'd better watch your back, I'm still good friends with Acey. It's obviously that I'm way gorgeous than a ugly slut as yourself. Why'd you reckon Acey chose me over you, in the end…huh? He was good sex though, and we still are great friends. I am willing to encourage him and his crew to toy around with you again…you deserve it…"
Sora's frown widened. She now knew what was going on. She remembered how she was changing in the girls bathroom a couple of days ago, at school, and recognized the that it was Jezebel tat was spreading the rumors…now she knew for a fact…that what happened to Mimi…was true…
"Let's see Acey try that then. Back then, it was all his crew against Mimi…but now you're dealing with us…If you pick a fight with Mimi, you'll have to pick up a fight with our crew," sneered Sora, finally piping up over the two quarrelling girls.
"Seriously, you don't know who the fuck you are messin' wit. You can't even handle your Yamato…trust me, that guy will be under my beautiful charms by the end of the week…he'll be mine…"
"In other words, all you gunna do is shake and jiggle your ass and tits at him, and he'll fall for you," Sora rolled her eyes disdainfully. " Keep wishing. I've known Yama way to long, and he won't fall for you like that. He's not like that. Plus, whores ain't his type of girls…"
"Then why don't you tell that to Mimi, over there," Jezebel shot back with a smirk.
"Maybe cause I," Mimi paused, " Ain't interested in him and I don't fucking cheat on my best friend with her boyfriend…slut…"
"No, it's cause you only wanted Acey to show you passion and pain," Jezebel sneered and gave a sickening giggle.
Before she even knew it, Sora had let her hand swipe across Jezebel's face. The slap had caused her cheek to become an immediate shade of crimson.
No one…wasn't going to talk of Mimi in such a cruel way…
"Screw you!" Jezebel screamed her hand tended to the sore on her cheek, where Sora had hit her.
"Let's go Meems," Sora said nonchalantly as she pulled her friend away, heading towards to exit of the cinema.
Even though it was really dark, Sora could feel the tension. She turned to her companion, " You alright?"
"You should have not done that Sor. I could have dealt with it myself, " whispered Mimi, her legs were shuddering violently, " She's going to get you back, you know. Even though I hate to admit it, she always finds a way…"
"Let me worry about that…she deserved what she got…and there was no way I would let her talk shit about you like that."
"Thanks Sora…" Mimi said weakly. " Thanks a lot."
('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')
Hikari Kamiya felt sick. Both physically and emotionally. Her vision blurred as she stood up from the long period of sitting down on the cold tiled floor of the bathroom. She forced herself onto the weighing scale and examined her weight.
"Thirty-one kilograms," she said in a frail voice through her white lips.
She had lost about 5 kilos ever since she had come to America. She couldn't help it. She'd been struggling so hard just to consume every day, and found it so hard to eat because she always had the tendency of spewing every meal back out.
She felt so weak…so fragile…like nothing…she felt like nothing
Sure, on the outside she seemed like a strong person since her personality was so out going, confident and bitchy…but inside she was the same sane person she always was. The nice, shy, caring girl…that was approachable and friendly.
She had to be a confident bitch to hide her feelings and the fact that she was weak…she also found it so hard to stop acting so bitchy cause she had gotten accustomed to acting like it. She had forgotten her old self…she had forgotten how to love. How to forgive…it was like a hole had dug into her heart…
There was only one person that knew that she wasn't even close to a bitch - and that was Takeru Takaishi. Off course he knew…he was the one that taught her how to trap and not show his or her feelings to anyone. But then again, he had learnt that from his brother - to be unemotional and neutral to everything.
But replacing the 'neutral attitude' with a bitchy one, was completely different. And she hated it. It wasn't her…but she didn't know what was her… The person she knew to be her had left her a long time ago…
Shaking her head to herself, Kari got off the weighing scale, carefully strutted up the staircase and marched into a bedroom.
Though, her senses were still quite slow from being drugged the day before, she was still was able to pick the strong smell of cologne, aftershave and even the dreadful smell of the boy's BO.
Shrugging, she welcomed herself in the boy's room and grabbed the smallest clean shirt available, pulling it over her light yellow tank top that she had been clothed in. She felt the smooth material hang loosely on her and observed how she looked in the mirror.
A pale young girl stared back at her. Her brown messy hair was tied up with a yellow hair tie and dark bags were quite evident under her big hazelnut eyes. She was quite pleased with her appearance over all because the baggy shirt hung loosely on her that made her look a bit fatter. Losing her focus…she suddenly found herself getting into a fit of coughs.
She was so sick…and yet she hadn't told anyone…she wouldn't tell anyone, she couldn't take the risk of her friends getting worried only for her. Even without the drug…she was absolute certain she would still feel the same. Tears trailed down her face from coughing so hard, and she viciously wiped them away.
Her gaze fell down at the shirt she was wearing, and guessed that it was preferably TK's since she could smell his cologne on it and it was the smallest shirt. Who could forget the scent of his cologne?
Then again, all of the shirts weren't small in the room…they were all large…though you couldn't really expect much from the boy from the LimitZ dance group…they liked wearing loose clothing.
Kari heard the bell ring, she carefully stumbled down the wooden staircase, but didn't bother to check the window to see who it was and immediately unlocked the door.
"You're all back already? You've all been only out for an hour," Kari gave a fake yawn to make her look as if she had recently woken up. She shrugged, not really expecting any of the four teenagers to reply to her. Wonder what's up their asses today…
"The movie wasn't good, so Mimi and I ditched it," Sora covered up with the same lie that she and Mimi had told the boys: Taichi, Yamato and Andrew.
"We only went there to the shops to grab a bite…and in Yama's case…get more cigis," murmured Taichi as he suddenly noticed his sister had a rather pale face than usual. " Go back to bed Kari, you still need some rest…"
Taichi almost gaped as he watched his sister, for once, listening to him. Kari was already on her way to the bedroom when Yamato yelled after her.
"Sweet dreams…after all, you are wearing TK's shirt..ya know."
Yamato cowered away as he received four hot glares going towards his direction and gave a giddy laugh, " Couldn't help it…"
"You're such a fag today, Matt," Tai insulted.
While Sora, Mimi and Taichi exchanged glances…Taichi's glance still was on Mimi. He still couldn't cope with how strange it was for Mimi to hide so much from them all and still be strong with about everything she did.
Taichi had to give it to her…he admired her after all…
('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')
It was presently Saturday night. Two figures sneakily creeped down the staircase trying not to make a single sound. One of the figures slowly opened the door, and the two figures then hurriedly (yet cautiously) departed the building. Ignorantly, the last person that exited the building had forgotten to close the door, so the gust of the cold breeze made sure the door was slammed shut. Hurriedly, the two human figures scrambled behind a tree near by and waited for some sign of life to search for them. For a couple of minutes they stood there, but no one appeared.
"Takeru, you bitch!" Daisuke cursed with a sigh of relief. " We could have almost got busted there."
Takeru Takaishi gave a weak smirk, " Sorry mates."
"Yeah, you'd be darn sorry if our asses got caught," Daisuke remarked as he held back a yawn, a wave of exhaustion took over his facial expression.
" Just because you're some goodie goodie two shoes, " the blond headed boy rolled his azure eyes at his friend. " Truly, Dai…have you ever thought of getting some decent rest. You were partying all last night…and here we are…sneaking off again to some other joint to bust some moves. How lame."
"No, you doin' the busting…I haven't seen you 'bust ya moves' yet…and it's about time I did. Which is why you are coming partaying with me!"
"Sometimes, Davis," TK shook his head and continued to hiss quietly, " I simply don't get you. What's with you, you sad ass cunt? I'm seriously missin' somethin' 'ere. Firstly, you're a soccerholic. Then you're a chocoholic. After that you're a goodie goodie studyholic…and know you're a partayholic? That's some combination you've got goin' on there…I'd stick to one if I were you."
"Very, very funny…Takeru," sarcasm clearly dripped the words that came out of Daisuke's mouth.
"Yeah I know," TK winked, causing his friend to frown at his own cockiness. " Man, okay okay…I was kiddin' "
"You'd better have been," Daisuke snickered, " So…did you lock the door to the dorm?"
"No mommy."
"Good. Cause some cleaners gunna go to our crib and clean. She does that every Sunday morning."
"Okay mommy."
"After all, we'll probably be back from the party about 9am in the morning…since we'd probably drop dead and fall asleep on the dance floor or somethin'."
"Sure mommy."
"Ahh! Enough with the mommy! Or else, I'll kick your fat butt all the way to Africa up a Elephant's ass. We'd better get it goin' we're wasting valuable time…and one of the teachers might spot us if we lurk around here any longer. Follow my lead," Daisuke ordered. " Let's go!"
"Yes mommy."
Daisuke grunted and then revealed himself from the hiding spot (with Takeru following his trail) and let the darkness absorb them as they wearifully sneaked around. Takeru darted after Daisuke and came to a halt when the reached the wired fence.
"Climb over it," Daisuke instructed.
Takeru gave a final 'Alright Mommy' and did what monkeys do, then jumped down the opposite side of the fence, obviously lazy to climb back down. " Coast is clear, Mr. Dai mommy…!"
Daisuke made his way over the fence and gave his friend a look, " Get any louder?"
"I'll save it for next time," Takeru shrugged with and evident sheepish look tingling in his appearance. " So…how we getting to that place…anyway? I don't want to fuckin' walk…I heard it's about 15 minutes away from her-"
"Damn you, lazy ass. I've got it all settled…jeez TK…you disgust me! You think I'm that thick headed to be reminded that you can't withstand walking long distances," Daisuke sneered. " Anyway…I think our ride's here."
TK gazed at the lime green metallic convertible that glimmered in the moonlight, as it parked right in front of them.
"Jump in," called a gruff tone from inside it.
The brunette headed boy instantly jumped into the back seat, while TK (on the other hand) shook off his hesitation and took a leap to sit next to his friend. It was risky. TK had to admit that he felt pretty guilty for betraying his brother's trust of sending him to some wealthy snobbish smart-ass of a school. And if they were caught…he could easily get expelled - kicked out, either way you'd like to put it … both had its own style of embarrassment.
The second TK had entered the vehicle, it immediately continued its extremely fast speed it had been going and gave a sharp turn on the curb.
"So…Yamato, I've got the songs ready for ya…its all prepared in this bag," the person in the driver's seat spoke as he handed TK a bag without taking his eyes off the car screen. The person didn't want to crash his car off course, and he certainly wasn't a reckless driver as some people expected him to be.
TK accepted the bag, even though he knew it wasn't being addressed to him. He knew that the songs had to do something for the LimitZ dancers, including himself.
"I'm not Yamato, I'm his younger brother - TK. He'd probably want me to take it off ya anyway. Thanks eh…-"
"It's Izzy," the driver turned around to face the younger version of the guy he had spoke to the night before. " Just got confused since you're sort of the same height…and the blond hair. Truthfully, I don't know much people with blond hair. And I guessed it was your brother cause you look alike and I couldn't really see you in the dark, plus you were hangin' with the goofball."
"Shut the fuck up, Iz," Daisuke laughed.
"Shouldn't I say that to you since you're interrupting our conversation," Izzy smartly replied back with a sneer, then turned back to his driving wheel. " And I also recall giving the two of you guys a lift…"
"So…Matt went partying with you guys last night, as well!" TK asked suspiciously, changing the subject.
"Yeah."
"Figures…" TK said nonchalantly. " Any alchi at the party?"
"Hell yeah," Davis sniggered. " You up to feelin' tipsy tonight?"
"Ha…just watch me," TK chuckled back.
"Youngsters these days," Izzy rolled his eyes at the two boys fooling around in the back seat of his car. His red short hair fought against the vicious wind as he accelerated to a higher speed, causing the two boys to fall. " Didn't you're mommies tell you to wear seatbelts?"
"Enough mommy jokes," Daisuke pursed his upper lip over his lower one.
Before they knew it, they'd reached the party…
Izzy had already parked his car a block away from it, a smart decision cause there was a possible chance that it could get damaged or even stolen if he had parked it right in front of the house…especially when people were getting drunk or even stoned.
The three entered the stuffy house and noticed the bored people lounging in boredom.
As they passed by the crowded hallway, Takeru couldn't help but notice some of the pictures that were hung on the walls. Curiously, TK peered closely for a better look, and then realization struck him…
JR?
" Ey JR! Wassup?" Daisuke laughed as he met one of his former friends and gave him a high five and some friendly handshake. " This it TK, my boy-"
"TK what are you doin' here!" JR laughed, a bit awkwardly, " I'm glad to see you're alright…after what happened last night…you know…You healed up pretty quick…good at covering it."
"Ehh…yeah," TK gave JR a warning look. Though what JR said was true, because he was covering his black eyes with shades and a navy beanie to disguise some of the cuts on his forehead.
" So how'd you know bout the party? I told Dai to invite some of his friends….but I never expected that you'd turn up. I didn't even know you guys were friends!" JR exclaimed.
TK shrugged.
"Hold up…hold on a minute," Daisuke couldn't believe it. " You've already met before?"
"Yeah, a bit slow there, Dai. We met at a basketball court weeks ago. And damn, TK's such a good bball player," JR complimented.
"Sure, you play basketball with some stranger….and I've been your friend longer than my bud, JR, here…and I haven't yet seen your skills. I'm insulted," chuckled Daisuke as he began to take a few paces away from the group. "Anyway, I'll go and get a couple of drinks while the two of you, no…the three of you talk. Be right back."
" Izzy! Wassup! I didn't see you way back there," JR laughed as he gave his cousin a warm hug. " Issit alright if you spice things up? Come on Mr. DJ… …maybe it's your time to show off your skills with your DJ techniques. And maybe we can even get to see TK break dance as well."
"Aha," TK rolled his eyes once again as Izzy made his way to a separate room and straight away put a beat on to pump the house with loud music. The crowds of people in the party looked up in interest and some made their way to dancing, in seconds the lights were turned off. So…Izzy DJ's … no wonder Matt wanted some songs off him…
P-P-Pump it up!
Slow motion for me, slow motion
for me, move it slow motion for me
Slow motion for me, slow motion for me, move it slow motion for me
Uh I like it like that she working that back I don't know how to act
Slow motion for me, slow motion for me, slow motion for me
Move it slow motion for me
Uh I like it like that she working that back I don't know how to act
Slow motion for me, slow motion for me, slow motion for me
Move it slow motion for me
"So…uh…JR! Why is a party goin' on? I didn't know you lived this far from your school and Ken and Yolei."
"Yeah, used to go to your school, " JR smirked, " Glad I moved, cause now I actually get the opportunity to see hot chicks. This is my family's house. I usually crash at Ken's joint for the whole year of school, but I gotta come back once in a while. It's my brother - JP's - birthday that was why I didn't invite Ken and Yolei, if you're wonderin' . There are all oldies here. So no one to hit on…"
"Oh, okay," TK replied with a laugh.
"So are you goin' to tell the truth of what happened back there?" JR started with a curious glance at the same aged teenager in front of him. " You don't just get bashed up by Acey's group for no reason. The only answer is that you talked, messed with them or made a deal/promise that you couldn't keep."
"It's nothing…" TK knew he was going to be confronted with this either way…if it wasn't from his dance group…it had to be from Yolei, Ken or JR…
" I hate to break it to you, TK, but someone's gotta. It's about time that someone had knocked some darn old sense into that thing you call your head. Stop being a stubborn asshole," JR growled. " Can't you fricken see that everyone's been fucking worried about you? Why do you gotta be hard to everyone when they're doin' what's best for you … huh?"
Somehow, the words this time sunk into him. When JR talked sense to him, it actually made him feel really guilty.
Luckily for TK, Daisuke had pranced (a/n…haha pranced. Don't ask why I felt like putting that word) back and handed them a couple of cans of beer. TK couldn't have been happier, as he had escaped yet another lecture from someone. Daisuke Motomiya gave a wink and started singing in a unhealthy fake artificial high-pitched screech , " Move it slow motion for me…!"
Uh I like it like that she
working that back I don't know how to act
Slow motion for me, slow motion for me, slow motion for me
move it slow motion for me
Uh I like it like that she working that back I don't know how to act
Slow motion for me, slow motion for me, slow motion for me
move it slow motion for me
Takeru took a huge gulp of the alcohol that slowly eased his tensed muscles in his body and spotted the group of dancing people, dancing to the slow steady beat. He wasn't aware that soon he'd be joining them all…and was in for a major hangover…

Even though it was morning (11:37am to be precise), only two people were awake in the whole Tachikawa household. Yamato Ishida was bored out of his wits. Every channel he flicked either had news, or was just plain boring The only channel that seized to catch his attention was the MTV VMA awards that was rerunning for the fourth time.
Yamato yawned. In unison to his yawn, Mimi strolled in the living room.
"I know…I know Mimi! I'll help you clean up later…" Matt started, since the girl had been bugging him all morning to help her clean cause her parents were coming back the following day.
"You'd better, but that's not why I came to check on what you're doing…" Mimi said as he handed him a envelope, " This came in the mail, some bill from TK's school…"
Matt took the envelope from her hands and ripped it open. Instantly he moaned.
"What is it?"
"The school fee…I owe $150, I was supposed to pay it to them a couple of days ago. That's why I woke up early…man…damn…ah shit," Yamato hit his palm against his head in frustration then gave a pout, " You reckon you can help me?"
"I did warn you to send TK to Kari's school instead," Mimi laughed then her facial expression turned serious with evident mischief about it, " How bout I give you the money…"
"If?" Matt looked at her interest, though he had a feeling that the consequence would be bad - which in fact it was.
"After making Andrew spill the beans of how you and Tai have been acting weird yesterday…well it's got something to do with that…you know, the two of you could have just asked me," Mimi blurted out.
"No Mimi. We've asked continually asked before and you never told us and would deny that nothing was had happened or was goin' on. I'm sorry about what happened…but may I ask, what is this conversation leading to? What's it gotta do with cash I am going to borrow from you?"
"Fine," she replied. " Well…you also know Jezebel, right?"
"Ahuh I do, you know…I'm starting not to like thi-" he frowned.
"Isitriteifgowithjez?"
"And you said?" Matt queried with a strange look appearing on his face.
"Is it all right if you go out with Jezebel?"
"Go out with HER? Are you crazy, girl! What…why? How come," he felt sick…" Why her of all people? Anyone…but her…don't tell me you just want to see me suffer or something…cause the answer is no wa-"
" Come on, Matt…" Mimi began, " It won't be really ''going out'' I mean…just hang wit her for a bit and pretend that you're friend."
"No, she'll think I'm her boyfriend," Matt concluded. " Again…why?"
"Cause…it's Andrew."
"Andrew? Meems, you'd better tell me already!"
"Well, since Andrew's been hangin' wit us, someone's bound to tell his brother Acey…and well, Acey might hurt Andrew…"
"So?"
"Damn Matt, you gotta be so heartless for!" Mimi exclaimed. " Well…I need someone to kind of be a spy…and hear what Jezebel's gotta say since she is the queen of gossip and her and Acey are pretty good friends. Cause…I gotta hunch that they're group are all up to something. And I don't want Andrew or anyone else to know about it…I don't want n e one to get hurt."
" And that someone gotta be me?"
" Yeah…Jezebel's gotta thing for you, so it'll be easy."
"But you're keeping this from Tai as well…Don't you care about him or anything!"
"No…I do care bout cha all, " Mimi stared at the ground, " It's just Jezebel, more than Andrew, about Acey."
"How do you know that Andrew's not a spy?" Matt couldn't help but query, suddenly thinking that there could be a possibility.
"Matt, Andrew is always honest. Even though his brother is the complete opposite jerk off…he's stayed the same. I know that for sure."
"Alright, I'll do it," Matt confirmed. " Don't know what I'm getting myself into though…"
"But you can't tell anyone. It's only between you and me…alright?" Mimi asked.
"Fine, have it your way," Matt shrugged. " Anyway, I would have done it without the money…you know. You're part of the team…and we need each other to get through this stuff. Just next time, don't hide everything from us. Tai almost…well he almost cracked it when he heard what happened to you…you make us all worried you know."
"I…I didn't mean to," Mimi stuttered as tears began to pour down, " It…It's just hard to talk about…being raped by…him I - I"
Matt frowned and gave her a brotherly ( ahem not mimato…) hug, whispering in her ear, " It'll be fine. You've got all of us now, and we're going to protect you if anything happens again…"
"Thanks Matt," Mimi gave a weak smile.

TK's adjusted to his surrounding. His head throbbed like hell and his vision was rather blurry.
Where was he!
The last thing the guy remembered was that…he was….eh dirty dancing with some girl he didn't even know? He shuddered at the thought then looked back where he was…He knew for real that he wasn't in his dorm or at JR's crib. He was certain that he was at his school, but in some one else's dorm. Questions filled his head, a bit scared that he didn't know every single detail in what had happened the previous evening.
How did I get back to school? What time is it? Did we get caught? Did…Where's Davis? Izzy? JR? Man…if I got caught…I'd seriously be done for. Shit…now I'm speaking like Dai!
In timing, the door swung open to reveal a rather exhausted looking body that collapsed on the end of his bed that he had been lying on. His face was flushed from running and his black beanie hid away his red hair.
"You're awake," Izzy muttered tiredly with evident bags under his eyes. " About time…it's Sunday afternoon…and well…it's not a good day so far."
"What do you me-ean?" TK asked dizzily. " Where's Daisuke? What happened?"
"That's the problem."
"Problem. Huh…what problem? We got a problem?" TK looked at him in wonder. " You'd better tell me…"
"Well, I'd better tell you all at once so that you don't fricken pee your pants," Izzy shrugged.
"Go on, then," he urged.
"So…uh…well, it started with you drinking a bit too much. Daisuke and I were still sane, (a tiny bit tipsy) so we thought we'd just look after you and crack up laughing…since you're dancing…well…it's not what we expected. You were more or a perfectionist at dirty dancing than break dancing…but anyway, yeah…you passed out," Izzy said realizing he was drifting away from the main point of the story. He continued.
" You got us a bit scared, so we decided to leave a bit earlier. JR kind of got annoyed cause I couldn't DJ the party, but since I was the older of the two of you, I thought it was my duty to help you get back to school without getting busted. Which was why I drove you home. "
"And?"
"And then, we went back to school, somehow Dai and I managed to toss your lifeless body over the wired fence. Just in timing, we could feel someone's eyes on us. Daisuke decided to mislead them, so that I could bring you to the dorm."
"Is that it…?" TK laughed.
"No…Dai got busted."
"What do you mean? He'll be alright…his marks are good. Teachers love him –"
"Well not now…"
"What do you mean!" TK repeated.
"The teachers were waiting for Davis and you to return because well, they did the room expections a bit earlier. The cleaner noticed something and instantly reported it to the principle of the school…"
"What happened then?" TK asked, getting a bit worried and nervous by how serious Izzy had been the past six minutes.
" The cleaner spotted ecstasy under Daisuke's pillow. Which is why he's facing to be kicked out from school at this moment," murmured Izzy disappointedly, " Never expected Dai to do that, he's always been a good boy…after the incident with his other friend. I don't understand…"
"Shit! Fuck, you mean he didn't tell the principle the truth?"
"What do you mean?" it was Izzy's turn to look confused. " Davis was telling the truth. He admitted that it was he that was taking the drug."
"Where is he… - Daisuke?" TK panicked.
"At the office…I think the principle is having a last chat with him…wait, hold up," Izzy studied the younger boy in confrontation and finally caught on. " It was you wasn't it? You…shit! Man, what the fuck you playing at?"
" I know, I'm such an ass. But I swear I stopped taking it after Daisuke found out I was taking it. He put it under his pillow to make sure that I wouldn't take it off him, " TK explained and started to repeat, " Shit …shit … shit…"
"Ah…this is so screwed," Izzy stated. " Daisuke even covered up for you again, saying that you slept over at my dorm cause the two of you had a fight…so that you wouldn't be tangled in the mess."
" I'd better go there, and tell the truth."
"Daisuke is risking your ass, so that you can stay at the school."
"There's no point when he won't be here. It's better off if we're both expelled than him being expelled alone," TK said honestly. " I'd better go…wish me luck."
Even though he still had a headache, he used most his energy to throw himself off the bed, walk out the dorm and avoid Izzy telling him to come back.
There was no way he was letting Daisuke be expelled…it wasn't Daisuke's fault. He was the most descent guy he had ever met! After all, it was he that brought ecstasy into school…and it was wrong that Daisuke was to suffer from breaking the rule…It was his fault…. Daisuke's parents worked so hard to get him into this private school…and he…he had screwed it all up…he couldn't just sit and watch Daisuke get expelled like this…
Somehow, he found his way to the principle's office. He didn't bother to knock as he pushed the door open. He examined the situation.
Daisuke Motomiya was fiddling with his hands nervously. A woman, susceptibly his mother, was sniffing back tears and his father looked rather grave…both staring and their son in extreme disappointment. Across the desk from them, was the principle - Rachel Fernandez. (a/n chapter 7)
They all stared at him curiously.
" It's not Davis' fault … it's mine," TK said bravely, breaking the ice.
Daisuke's eyes widened, begging him not to tell the truth, but TK shook his head. He wasn't letting Dai get expelled…
"It wasn't Daisuke who took the drugs. It was me, he just hid it from me so that I wouldn't take it no more cause his other friend got kicked out from taking it as well," TK admitted then decided to add a lie to make it sound more convincing. " He had nothing to with it. He was out last night, because I influenced him. I'm sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Motomiya for doing this to your son and destroying his name."
"No, " Mrs. Motomiya sniffed, it took a while for her to respond back. " I already knew that Davis wouldn't have taken drugs, cause he swore to me that he wouldn't. And I believed him, my trust to him was nearly neglected until you just explained everything. I thank you for even admitting it to all of us."
"So you were just taking the blame all along, Daisuke?" his father grumbled shaking his head in disapproval.
"Yeah," he replied guiltily. " I just didn't want TK to get into trouble."
Silence filled the small room, and within a couple of minutes, Mr. and Mrs. Motomiya thought it was right to leave. TK couldn't believe how understanding his parents were…his parents would have never been like that. Then again, they wouldn't care…since they were on drugs…and left Yamato and him a long time ago.
"Daisuke, I would like to speak to Takeru alone. Can you kindly exit the room for a moment Mr. Motomiya, " Rachel said politely.
As Daisuke nodded and walked past TK giving a 'good luck and I should have taken care of it' glance, slowly shutting the door behind him.
"Take a seat, Takeru."
TK didn't need to be told what to do. He sat on the seat that Daisuke had been sitting on and couldn't help shaking, his nerves were getting the best of him. The tension was slowly killing him, as he stared bluntly into the woman's cool eyes.
"It was brave of you, just then. To admit it to all of us, I was inches away from expelling Mr. Motomiya," she started.
" I know," TK sighed. " And I know what you're about to do."
He didn't want to be expelled. He'd been expelled so many time already… He didn't want Yamato to find out that he had been back on drugs. He felt very guilty. After all Yamato had done. He was scared that his brother would go back to his depressions and start blaming himself of having such a horrible brother who can't even stay at a school without getting kicked out.
"But I'm giving you another chance," the voice interrupted his thoughts. He stared at her in shock. This definitely had to be the last thing he had been expecting.
"Another chance?" he managed to croak out, he was trying so hard to not do a victory dance on the desk. It was just too surreal…too hard to believe.
"Yeah. If you were still taking ecstasy, I'd have second thoughts. This is only between, Daisuke, Mr. and Mrs. Motomiya and yourself. No one else should get to know what you were doing."
"Fine…but will you tell Yamato?" TK gulped, his fingers crossed, dreading the answer.
"Yes, I'll have to. He's your guardian and made me promise to him that whenever you were a step off the line I'd have to report it to him, which is why he is paying extra from everyone else."
"Paying extra?" TK felt another surge of guilt flicker within him, as he remembered the time he had stolen a few hundreds from his brother's wallet. Plus…the school's levy was already expensive as it was.
"That's correct, Mr. Takaishi," Rachel said.
"So that's it…I get busted for taking drugs…and that's it? No punishment? You can't be serious!"
"Takeru, there are always punishments to every mistake," Rachel couldn't help but smile, " Though, I assure you it isn't as bad as you'd think it to be.. "
"Then…what is it?"
"Well, I've heard from some people that you have talents on the basketball court, so I ask you to join the team. We are a player short and it would be good to have an actual shot at winning the tournament against all the other boy schools around here."
"Play basketball?" TK frowned. He was a bit scared that he had forgotten his touches at the game. He was pretty rusty when he last played against Ken. " Okay, I'll try."
"And you can't go out of school grounds without your brother's permission."
"Fine, " TK said, " Thanks Rach - Ms. Fernandez."
"You're welcome Mr. Takaishi. If you were to be expelled, Mrs. Henderson, your English teacher, would have been sad to find her favorite pupil gone, she speaks rather highly of you…"
"She does?" Takeru said, in a still shaken voice…still in disbelief that he had somehow managed to stay at the school.
"Yes. Maybe it is time to put your skills to work, " Rachel smiled kindly. " From now on, you are to try your hardest at every subject, even if it is religion…which I hear you listen to music in that class. I will be personally checking on your marks occasionally, and Takeru…don't do this only for yourself. Do this for your brother. You don't know how much he really cares for you."
"I will try my hardest. Though…I still think it's strict, " Takeru said with extreme confidence. " I just don't want Yamato to know…about the ecstasy…"
"Sorry, but that can't be helped. I'll have to inform him," Rachel concluded. " Right now, go to Daisuke and tell him the good news that you aren't going to get expelled."
"I will," TK repeated, " Thank you so much. I owe you big time…"
('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')
"You've got to be kidding me!" Yamato yelled into the phone in frustration, " Takeru's on drugs again? I thought I made it clear with him already."
"He recently quit," the principal on the other line replied.
"You don't understand…if he's turning out to be worse than our parents…I - I… I've got to go. Thanks for telling me," Yamato sighed, as he didn't bother to wait for the teacher to say bye, and instantly hung up the phone. He couldn't take it anymore…
His blood was boiling. How many times had Takeru promised him? Back in Odaiba, he almost overdosed himself and was at hospital for a number of days. Why couldn't his brother just understand what's good for him…and that he was doing his best as an older brother to help him out…all by himself with none of their parents! Why couldn't he understand and at least try to talk to him…Why…Why did Takeru hate him? Is that why began taking drugs…because of him! Maybe this was his fault after all, for not confronting him properly and hanging around with him often…instead of just finding ways to get money for TK…why did everything he do…end up all wrong? He just wanted the best for TK, and yet everything reversed…
"Are you alright Yamato?" a voice whispered.
Matt turned around to face the young fragile girl. Her face was pale and both her arms were folded. " It's TK…isn't it?"
"Why…why is he doing this to himself? Doesn't he fucking understand when he begins to hurt himself…he's hurting me as well. Can't he just fucking see that he's' the only one I have left from my whole family?" Yamato cursed, not particularly to Hikari but to himself as well.
"TK…he's taking it again…isn't he," she questioned in a faint weak cry, it was obvious since Yamato was hinting what had happened quite evidently.
"He is," Matt looked at the ground, avoiding staring at the hurt in his best friend sister's eyes. It made him grasp that it wasn't only him that was suffering as well…And that the whole f'ing world didn't revolve around only him. Even though his world was turned upside down…there were other people's worlds were like that too. He wasn't the only person suffering…there were other people out there whose lives could be worse…
Kari gave a low depressing sigh and turned around, disappearing around the corner.
"But you've always gotta hope…that things become better," he said lightly, giving a frail grin…even though he was trying his best to ignore the hurt tears that had blurred up in his eyes. " That's life. It's all nothin' but shit."
