Hey reviewers! I knew I said my next story would be a Michi but I promised this one a while ago. It's sort of a one-shot but I liked it better split in two so please review if you want to hear the end! This is dedicated to KoumiLoccness and any other Koumi lovers out there on the condition that you stop flaming me for my Mimatos!

Forever yours Crytal!

A Rainy Day

"Oh damn," said Mimi as she stood in the pouring rain. She seemed to have the worst luck in the world! As she had dashed off to work in the morning she had noticed the ominous looking sky but she had assured herself she would be home before the worst of the storm struck. "How was I to know I was going to get delayed at work and that my umbrella would get stolen and that my car would break down in the middle of a lonely lane!" Mimi grumbled to herself. She wondered why she was even bothering to hold her hood over her head as she was already drenched through and through.

Looking around she saw a brief flash of lightening and shivered. Looking up at the trees creaking menacingly above her she knew it wasn't safe to stay out here very much longer. She could barely see more then a few feet ahead of her due to the heavy rain. "Should I go back to my car or should I try to find some other shelter?" she asked herself. Her decision was made for her when a heavy branch crashed down almost right next to her. Stumbling away she began walking blindly in the direction she thought her car was. Several minutes later she was wet, angry and utterly lost and to make it worse she saw the dim headlights of a car approaching. "Oh please let it be some kind nice person who'll take me in and not some crazy weirdo. Please, please, please!" she prayed. The car unbelievably seemed to notice her and slow down. She stayed frozen to the spot watching as a figure got out of the car and took a few hesitant steps towards her. "Are you alright miss?" he called stopping a few meters away. Mimi creased her forehead in puzzlement, that voice was so familiar where had she heard it before? Catching a glimpse of bright red hair recognition suddenly overcame her, a small red-haired boy, short but smart, a shiny laptop, constant annoyance at his ignorance of her, growing up and moving away from him…

They barely saw each other now but…once a friend always a friend, "Especially when you're stuck in a thunderstorm and you need help," thought Mimi dryly. Without further ado she ran towards the figure and threw her arms around him. "Izzy! I'm so glad you found me! I was so scared and alone you won't believe what I've been through…" pulling away she took a look at him and the first thing she noticed were his clothes. Gone were the fashion disasters of their younger days, sure it wasn't exactly what Mimi would've picked out but it was a very expensive designer suit…and it was getting soaked. "Oh Izzy! Your poor clothes! Come on, we can talk in the car." She carried on chattering away as she pulled a bemused looking Izzy towards his car. Climbing in the passenger seat she looked out the window at him expectantly. Coming to his senses Izzy shook himself and climbed into his seat. "Here we go!" he thought grimly

As they drove Izzy kept glancing over at Mimi. After the initial chatter had worn off a silence had fallen but Izzy was too preoccupied to notice. It was strange him and Mimi being alone together. They had never really been that close and now here she was suddenly dripping wet inside his car…life could be strange sometimes. Still he couldn't help thinking she sure had grown up, at least outside she had. Her brown hair was plastered against her head and her large caramel eyes looked huge in her pale face. He tried to avert his gaze from her white shirt, which though extremely beautiful was sticking to her in a way that made him feel a little uncomfortable. Actually he was feeling very uncomfortable. She was sitting so close to him he could smell the fresh scent she was giving off and he could see the droplets of water on her arms. More to distract himself then anything else he quickly inquired, "Where do you live then? Do you want me to drop you off there?"

"That would be sooo ki…" her reply was cut off by a violent sneeze. "Achoo!"

Izzy changed his mind at once concern clearly sounding in his voice as he said. "Considering the sound of that sneeze you need to have a warm shower and get out of those clothes soon. Come to my apartment it's closer." Mimi looked worried.

"Are you sure? Wouldn't it trouble you?"

Vaguely surprised that she cared enough to ask Izzy replied, "It's no bother at all. Anyway in the state you're in you would get seriously sick if we wait too long. You could catch a flu or even pneumonia!"

Mimi laughed. "You sound like Joe," she giggled.

Izzy grinned back. "Well that's not necessarily a bad thing. Haven't you heard how successful he is lately?"

"Mmm. It's amazing isn't it? How about you though? You were always the genius among us."

"Well I'm working in a computer firm a the moment. It's a hard job to explain but you could say I earn more then enough to support a family." As soon as Izzy said it he could have whacked himself on the head, he sounded so stupid! Mimi however looked impressed.

"Wow! All I do is modeling though I have been taking an interest in fashion design lately…" she stopped talking as they reached Izzy's apartment.

"Well excuse me Izzy but I think you earn enough to support 10 families!" she said with a giggle. Feeling rather awkward Izzy blushed and got out of the car opening the door for Mimi. They dashed up the steps into the lobby. The receptionist looked up crossly at the sound of water but instantly changed her frown for a smile when she saw whom it was. "Hello Izzy sir. May I help you?"

"Er yes. Get someone to mop this mess up will you? And see to it that I'm I mean that we aren't disturbed." Looking a bit disgruntled the receptionist nodded. "Right away sir."

As they climbed into the elevator Mimi looked questioningly at Izzy. With a sigh he replied, "She's been after me and my money ever since I bought an apartment here. She doesn't seem to understand the word 'bachelor'"

"Tell me about it! Matt is always complaining to me about Jun," smiled Mimi with a twinge of jealousy that didn't have anything to do with Matt or Jun.

"Oh you talk to Matt a lot?" said Izzy vaguely annoyed.

" We live close by and I sometimes sing for his band. I hear he's leaving though to promote his band somewhere else. They're getting quite famous."

"That's good." Izzy replied convincing himself he was happy for Matt's sake.

Unlocking his apartment he grinned hearing Mimi's sigh of appreciation. "Wow Izzy your taste has really improved. I could really enjoy living here!"

"Well just for today pretend you are!" he teased surprised to find himself loosening up around her.

She curtseyed to Izzy. "So gracious host. Would you direct me to the bathroom?"

"Right behind you. There are towels in there. I'll lend you a t-shirt, there should be one long enough."

"I guess you won't mind if it's a little short will you?" said Mimi slyly.

Izzy felt the back of his neck go red. "Don't be silly Mimi." He said shortly. He tossed her a pink –t-shirt. Mimi stared at him then at the t-shirt, then back again. The she burst out laughing. "You are hilarious Izzy! Hilarious! You don't wear this do you?"

It's really comfy," he said scratching his head. "I only wear it at night. It'll suit you anyway."

The words came out before he could stop them. Mimi looked pleased. "For that comment I won't tease you," she said happily. "For now anyway." Then she slipped into the bathroom, locking the door before Izzy could catch her.

Is it sweet and fluffy? I tried really hard with this so I hope you like it! Please review and tell me you do because I'll really appreciate it. The 2nd part (which is the last one since this is a sort of one-shot) will come out shortly. I just didn't feel like writing it together. Ok see ya!
