This is a special chapter for Hikari and Takeru. I'm going to make up a little story for them since I haven't really talked about them during the whole story. Hope you'll like it!

Early in the morning, Yamato woke up to drive Mimi and his brother off to school. The couple kissed each other goodbye before they parted.

"Mimi?" Takeru asked quietly as they walked pass the school gates.

"Yes?"

"Now that you don't have to worry about your family debts and your relationship with my brother, don't you think that you might want to find something else to do?"

"What? I don't get what you're trying to tell me."

"Nothing… I don't have anything that I want to say." The young blond guy tried to avoid Mimi's look.

"Come on! You're a man. Stop making useless turns and go straight to the point. If there's anything, I'll help you."

"Really! You mean it?"

"So you DO have something to say after all!" Mimi smirked. She enjoyed teasing Takeru a little bit.

"Well, remember before? You told me that you know this girl named Hikari right?"

"Yes! We're really good friends."

"I was just wondering what she thought of me…"

"You like her don't you? I guess you can't help it! She IS hot after all, isn't she?" Mimi gently hit Takeru on the arm. The young boy tried to smile. He didn't want Mimi to see that he was shy.

"I… I'm gonna go first! I have to see umm…"

"See…?"

"…a teacher!" Takeru ran off as quickly as possible from Mimi. He headed to the lockers and grabbed his books. He stood there a couple of minutes more hoping to see Hikari. Finally, his goddess has appeared.

Hikari happened to leave the lockers too when she found Takeru staring at her. She slightly blushed and walked toward him.

"Morning. You're early to school today, aren't you?"

"Hey… Yea! My brother woke up early to drop Mimi and me to school."

"Are you going back to the classroom or are you waiting for someone?"

"Yes... I mean… I was waiting for someone… but that person I was waiting for is already next to me." Takeru got a hold of all his courage and stared at Hikari's face. He put up a serious looking face.

As for Hikari, she blushed. She was rolling her eyes everywhere trying to avoid Takeru's look. She felt as if he would see through her everything. When she felt that she couldn't take it anymore, she turned away from him and quickly rushed forward.

"Let's get back to class or we might be late!" She held onto her books tightly with Takeru walking next to her.

Takeru tried to avoid looking at Hikari on his way back to the classroom. Takeru, you just did something really daring! God! My heart almost jumped out. I hope she won't think that I'm a weirdo or something like that. The two of them head back to class and took their seat. They barely talked or looked at each other for the rest of the day.

"Are you serious! Takeru said that! See, he really does like you!" Mimi said while drinking her Pina Colada under the bright red sun with Hikari on the balcony of the Ishida residence. Mimi had invited Hikari over on a lovely Saturday.

"Well… I do feel the same, but I don't know how to tell him. I'm afraid that I might scare him away. Good thing he's not here today. I don't know how to face him yet."

"Ah! Look who's coming back from their work out session!" Mimi exclaimed.

Hikari looked down from the balcony. "Mimi… didn't you say that they won't be coming back until its dark!"

"Oh… well… if I didn't say that, you wouldn't be coming over to see me right? You do have to make things clear with him right?" Mimi gave a nice warm smile to her friend.

"My goodness… Well… he still doesn't know that I'm here. Please, don't call…" Before Hikari could finish, Mimi jumped up and grabbed onto the fences of the balcony looking down.

"TAKERU! Look who is over!" Mimi started to wave at Yamato and Takeru.

"Mimi… wait until I finish talking before doing anything! Now what do you want me to do!" Hikari whispered loud enough for Mimi to hear her.

"Greet them! What else do you wanna do!" Mimi pulled Hikari near her.

"Hi…" Hikari greeted Takeru.

Takeru, whose eyes became as wide as an orange, became speechless until his brother spat the back of his head. Yamato put an arm around Takeru.

"It's not by standing here that you woe a lady. That sure is something you didn't get from dad unlike me."

"Shut up…" Takeru pushed Yamato's arm off him.

"Don't worry, it's not bad. You got this personality from mom. It's good. Girls feel more secure with those types of guys. I wish Mimi would stop doubting me everyday when I leave for school…"

"Just tell those girls to stop calling you. Most of them are probably after your money or your look anyway!"

"Hey now… We are supposed to be talking about you! Not me! "

"Are you guys coming in or are we so scary that you don't want to come up and greet us properly!" Mimi shouted from the balcony.

"Coming!" The brothers answered in unison.

The guys dropped down their bags near the stairs before heading up to see Mimi and Hikari. Yamato walked over to Mimi and hugged her from behind. Mimi just pushed him off her.

"Eww… You're all sticky!" The young lady stuck her tongue out.

"That's what a man is! What do you expect from someone who just came back from the gym!"

"Well… in that case, don't come sticking onto me!"

"Sometimes, I wonder if you really love me or not."

"What are you standing here for! Go take a shower!" Mimi pushed Yamato away from the balcony. She turned around and winked at Takeru. Knowing, that it's his chance to be alone with Hikari, he gently walked behind her and whispered in her ear.

"I guess I'm as sticky as my brother is. I believe I should take a shower too. Why don't you come over to my room since Mimi would most probably be busy with Yamato."

"I…" Hikari slightly blushed. Before she could continue to talk, Takeru already started to head back into the room. Hikari stood there a couple of seconds not knowing what to do when she noticed Takeru's hand moving a little. She quickly ran up to Takeru and grabbed his hand.

"Hmm… You really are sticky…" Hikari giggled.

"If I can stay stickier than that forever, I might be able to keep you by my side forever. Wouldn't that be great?"

Hikari blushed. She became speechless right after. She didn't even dare to look at Takeru's face. Takeru stared at Hikari's shy face for a couple of seconds before tightening his grip.

Once in Takeru's room, Hikari took a seat on Takeru's bed as Takeru headed to the bathroom.

"I'll be right back! You can look around the room." He gently closes back his door.

Ten minutes later, Takeru's room door slammed open. A long blond hair girl walked in. Both Hikari and her stared at each other for a couple of seconds.

"Who are you? Where's Takeru?" She rudely asked.

"I'm Hikari. Takeru is in the shower. You are…?"

"I'm Maria (one of the international digidestined). I'm Takeru's cousin and also his fiancée." She answered sharply. Hikari froze for a split second to those words.

"Pardon me?"

"Don't make me repeat myself. What are you doing in his room? What are you to him?"

"I… I'm…" Hikari didn't know how to answer to Maria's questioned. She didn't want to be just a friend nor was she officially dating Takeru.

"So? I'm still waiting for an answer?" Just after Maria's questioned, Takeru came out of the bathroom half naked revealing his well built body.

"Maria! What are you doing here?" Takeru asked surprised.

"I… I think I better leave." Hikari stood up and headed to the door.

"Wait!" Takeru quickly tried to stop Hikari. "What's wrong?"

"Don't ask me what's wrong! I'm the one who should be asking that!" Hikari tried to hold her tears back.

Soon after, Mimi and Yamato arrived to Takeru's room.

"Hey bro! I thought I heard Maria for a split second a while ago." Yamato came in with Mimi.

"Well… maybe I am here…" Maria waved at her older cousin.

"Oh! Hey! Ummm… there seem to be some tensions in here."

"Hikari! Why are your eyes watery? What going on here?" Mimi hugged her friend against her chest.

"Nothing… I just didn't want to disturb Takeru and his fiancée."

"WHAT! Whose fiancée!" Mimi shot some evil glares at Takeru.

"Hey! Don't look at me like that! I don't have a fiancée! Wht's happening here?"

"She said so!" Hikari pointed at Maria.

"Maria, what kind of bullshit did you tell Hikari?" Yamato asked in a heavy tone his cousin.

"I didn't say anything wrong. I'm love with Takeru. Of course he's going to become my future husband."

"Oh my goodness… What does this girl have in mind?" Mimi said to herself.

"See? This was all a misunderstanding! Hikari… I really really do like you. Believe me." Takeru stared straight into Hikari's eyes.

"No way! If you do that, I'll… ahh… my head… oww…" Maria leaned against the wall. She slowly started to slid down.

"Maria!" The Ishida brothers shouted together. They ran up to their cousin who was about to faint.

"Is she putting on a show or what?" Mimi asked.

"Takeru! Go call the family's doctor now!" Yamato shouted. Takeru followed his brother's order and quickly left the room. He glanced one more time at Hikari before leaving.

After having such an exhausting day, Hikari lied down on her bed. Because of all the commotions happening, she was forced to stay over at the Ishida's for the night. When she was about to fall asleep, a sudden knock happened to be heard behind her door. Hikari quickly got up and opened the door to her late night guest. Standing at her door was Yamato.

"Hey! Sorry to bother. Mind if I come in?" Yamato greeted with a sweet smile.

"No, I don't. Come." Hikari let Yamato come in. He slowly walk to her bed and sat down.

"Come sit with me." He asked Hikari. The young lady, a little embarrassed by the unexpected guest, slowly took a seat next to him.

After a few seconds of silence, Hikari finally spoke up.

"How's Maria doing?"

"She's perfectly fine. You don't need to worry. I called her home and made someone bring her back. You like my brother don't you?"

"What? Um… well… yes." Hikari looked down at her feet. She faced slightly blushed.

"If you like him, you should believe in him. I never heard he had a fiancée. And even if he told me with a very serious face, I wouldn't even believe him."

"Why?"

"I don't think he would want to be with any other girl than the one in the picture under his pillow." Yamato stood up and left without any other word.

After a couple of minutes he left, Hikari left her room as well. She sneaked up to Takeru's room. The young boy was already asleep. Hikari quietly lifted Takeru's pillow and found a picture of her taken secretly. She smiled to herself and put back the picture back under the pillow. It was at this time, she accidentally woke Takeru up.

"Hi… Hikari? What are you doing here?" He asked in a sleepy voice, his eyes half opened. Poor Takeru was still afraid that Hikari was still mad at him.

"Umm…" Hikari took courage and spoke up. " Nothing. I was just wondering if I could spend the night here. You know… I thought I heard weird noises in my room and…" Takeru already pulled away his blanket to make place for Hikari. Hikari smiled and jumped in the bed.

Yay! I'm finally over for this story. Thank you for all the support!
