Hello!

Sorry… I have a lot of family problems lately… and… it's giving me a lot of pressure… sorry for the late update.

Please have fun while reading chapter 10. It makes me happy to read all the reviews you people wrote. A million thanks for everybody.

"Hey Matt! Over here!"

"Sup Tai!" Yamato went to take a seat with Taichi. They were in the restaurant where they usually take a coffee or have a snack.

"I'm the happiest man on earth. Sora is indeed a good cook. She'll make a super good house wife!"

"Man! Cut that out! How old are you and already talking about marriage?"

"Hmm... I had a sweet night with Sora even though she slammed the door on my face when I proposed to sleep with her on her bed tonight..." Taichi said a little embarrassed.

"She did! Haha... Very direct as usual huh..." Yamato was trying not to laugh.

"Stop it! What about you and Mimi the other day huh? Don't tell me that you did something better!"

Yamato ordered a French vanilla coffee which almost made the waitress fall on the ground. "What could I have done? I just brought her to the hospital to check her wrist. She ended up with a small bandage that she has to keep for about a week. She's really hard to seduce though... no female in this world ever refused me that way."

"Oh? Then what are planning to do?"

"Heh! I still have my secret weapon that my dear brother gave me." Yamato smirked.

Later at night, Yamato went over to Mimi's house. The light was still on. Yamato tried to peek at the window but saw no one. He tried to open the door but it was locked. So he decided to use his secret weapon... Mimi's spare key. Yamato quietly opened the door and went it.

"Owww!" A female voice called out. Yamato laughed quietly. He followed the sound and went to the second floor as quiet as a mouse. He found a door with a plaque written Mimi. The door was a little opened leaving a little crack. Yamato peeped and saw Mimi only wearing her pink bra. Sweet! He thought to himself.

"Mouuu! My wrist hurts... I can hardly change! If I knew I would've loose anyway, I wouldn't even bother hitting that stupid ball!" Mimi said.

Yamato was targeting Mimi with his eyes. Take it off! Take it off! Yamato thought to himself again. Mimi took her skirt off exposing herself in underwear. Yamato couldn't take his eyes off such a beauty. Mimi wanted to take her new shampoo to the shower. She picked it up but forgot about her wrist.

"Ouch!" Mimi threw the shampoo on the door.

"Wooahh!" Yamato covered his mouth.

"Who's there!" Mimi grabbed a towel and ran to the door. Yamato knew he couldn't get away that easily. He locked himself to the closest door to find a plan to escape. Mimi knocked on the door.

"Come out you pervert! What are you doing in my house! Come out!" She yelled and was about to break down the door. Yamato was panicking. He locked himself in the bathroom. The window was too small for him to escape. There was no place to hide in the bathroom.

"Come out or I'm sooo going to call the police!" Mimi shouted. Crap! Yamato grabbed the nearest thing which was a panty... he covered his face and ran out of the bathroom causing her to fall on the ground. He wanted to help her up but decided that leaving was a better idea.

"Jerk! Wait till I get my hands on you! If it wasn't because of my wrist, you would have been dead long ago!" Yamato slammed the door after hearing Mimi's complain.

"Yay! Finally! I waited for this day for a long time already!" Izumi shouted happily.

"Me two! After staying at the hospital for a few days, I seriously need some fun!" Hikari said happily.

"Fun? Didn't Takeru made you happy enough?" Izumi giggled. Hikari blushed a little.

"I'm here! Hurry! Let's get in the car!" Mimi said running toward the girls. The girls got on the car. "Oh my god! Did I tell you? The other night, there was a perverted stalker who sneaked in my house!"

"Ehhh! Did you punch him or gave him a good lesson?" Izumi asked anxiously.

"How does he look like?" Hikari asked.

"I have no clue how he looks like though... He covered his stupid face with my panty! My most pretty one and ran away with it!" Mimi replied angrily.

In not long, they arrived a very pretty deserted place. They were surrounded with grass, trees and flowers. There was a pretty lake and a huge mansion. The girls stepped in to greet the one who invited them to such a nice trip.

"Hello Madam." They said with a beautiful smile.

"Hello young ladies. I'm Mrs Sin. I hope you'll all enjoy your three days here." Mrs Sin looked very nice and gentle. Mimi and the others were very happy. They went into their room and put down their stuff. In every room, there was a balcony. The view from Mimi's room was the best. Izumi and Hikari went to join Mimi in her room soon after. Mrs Sin's maid came to get them because they were called. The girls went down to the living room to meet Mme Sin.

"Ladies, I want you to meet my grandson Michael. A young blond man walked in the room. He greeted his grandmother.

"Michael, I want you to meet these young ladies here. This is Izumi, Hikari and Mimi."

"Hello. It's a pleasure to meet all of you."

"The pleasure is ours." The three girls said in the same time amused.

"Eh?" Michael stared at Mimi.

"Umm... something wrong with my face?"

"No... I just thought that you looked like someone I know. But never mind... it's just impossible that she can be here." He smiled to Mimi making her blush.

"Quit standing there you two! Let's go take a walk outside!" Izumi said cheerfully.

"Yea let's go!" Mimi said. Michael stared at Mimi. Without realizing it, he found himself smiling at her again. Hikari noticed Michael's look on Mimi. The four of them went out to take a walk near the lake. During the whole time, Michael couldn't help but look at Mimi. Later at night, they head back. The girls took a shower and dressed into their pyjama.

Knock Knock

"Come in!" Izumi said.

The door opened and Hikari went in. "Hey!"

"Hikari! Hi! I was just thinking about going to your room."

Hikari went over to sit next to Izumi on her bed. "You know Michael..."

"Yea! He's really handsome! He's even hotter than Kouji but, I still like Kouji better." Izumi smiled to herself staring at the ceiling. She lied down on the bed with Hikari.

"That's not what I'm talking about. I'm trying to say that I think Michael is interested in Mimi. I noticed that during the whole day, he was staring at her weirdly..."

"Hmm... now that you talk about it, I think he really did... those kinds of eyes were really familiar..." Izumi was trying to think hard where she had seen these kinds of looks.

"I have the same feeling as you... I thought about all day."

"Oh! That's why you were awfully quiet huh... I thought you missed Takeru too much."

"Anyway... I found my answer. Those looks were the same from when I met Takeru and Daisuke. I never knew about these stares if I didn't analyse it from Michael during the whole day."

"I would never realize it if you never told me. Hikari..."

"What?"

"Why don't you sleep in my room tonight?"

"Hmm... Sure! Let's find Mimi. She must be alone in her room right now." Hikari and Izumi got up the bed and opened the door. Izumi shut it quickly when he saw Michael heading to Mimi's room.

"Let's go!" Izumi whispered.

"What? Where?"

"Mimi's room is just across mine. Let's go and listen what they are talking about."

"Eh? But... that's not really nice..."

"Come on! We go when Mimi would invite Michael in her room."

"How do you she would?"

"You expect them to stand there and talk?"

"Noo..."

"SHHH!"

Michael knocked on Mimi's room door. The door soon opened up.

"Hey! What brings you here?"

"Nothing much... I didn't have anything to do so I just decided to come visit you."

"Ah! Then come on in!" Mimi invited Michael in her room.

Izumi and Hikari got out of Izumi's room and leaned their ear against the door. "See? I told you she'll invite him in." Izumi whispered.

"Do you have a boyfriend, Mimi?" Michael asked trying to avoid Mimi's look.

"Hm? Nope! I'm flying single like a free bird."

"Eh? That surprises me. I was sure that you were taken since you're such a lovely girl." Michael's compliment made Mimi blush a little. He's so nice! Unlike that Yamato Ishida. Eh! Why am I thinking of him right now... whatever! Mimi thought to herself. She was trying hard to stay cool with Michael presence. He made her a little nervous.

"You know when I said that you looked like someone I know..."

"Yea? Was it a girl that you like?"

"Well... Sort of. By the way, you seem to have a little Japanese accent..."

"Ah! Yes... well I moved to America when I was really young. My parents tried to talk to me in English whenever they can to practice their English and mine. As time passes, I was so used to speak in English that I started to forget my Japanese. My mom sent me to a Japanese school later to make sure I won't forget my first language. I just moved back from America to Japan because my cousin asked my parents to."

"I see... Then do you remember your friends in Japan?"

"Well... I forgot them all... but, I met Sor..." Mimi was cut off by a loud noise.

"Sorry!" A voice outside the door called out.

"How can you suddenly loose your balance and fall on people like that! It hurts! Get off!" A softer voice said.

Mimi recognized those voices. She ran up to the door and opened it. She found Izumi on top of Hikari.

"What exactly were you two doing here?" Mimi asked waiting for some explanations.

"Ohh! Well, we thought you would be lonely so we decided to come find you..." Izumi said trying to smile. Hikari nodded her head nervously.

"Yea... we didn't know you have a guest..."

"Whatever... let's all go sleep and go swim in the lake tomorrow..." Mimi suggested.

"Yea... goodnight girls." Michael said leaving Mimi's room.

"Night!" The three girls said. Izumi head back to her room with Hikari. Mimi went back in her room and lied down on her bed. She sighed. What Michael asked her, reminded her of the misunderstandings between Sora and her. She wanted to make up for it but had no clue how to. Mimi found herself staring at her wrist which reminded her of Yamato who carried her all the way to the hospital. She remembered his strong back and the way he treated her at the hospital. Those nice and gentle eyes that were making her heart melt. Mimi soon fell asleep.

The next morning, it was raining. The three girls brushed their teeth, washed their face and went downstairs to have breakfast.

"Mou! I wanted to swim in the lake today..." Izumi said sadly.

"It's okay. I have a pool table downstairs if you girls want to play." Mrs Sin said.

"Cool! Let's play after! I never played pool before!" Hikari said all excited.

"Me either!" Izumi quickly finished her cereals and took her toasts.

"I played in New York. Even though I didn't have the legal age to, I pretended I was old enough with some friends." Mimi quickly finished her glass of milk.

The girls quickly finished their breakfast and ran downstairs to play. Hikari and Izumi were teaming up against Mimi. After a while, Mimi decided to let the two beginners practice and left to get some juice. She went in the kitchen and pours some juice in three cups.

"Morning."

"Eh?" Mimi turned around and found Michael at the kitchen's door. He had a sleepy face so Mimi figured out that he just woke up. "Morning? It's almost lunch time! Hehe... Hungry?"

"Yep! That's why I came to dig something out in the kitchen." Michael stretched his arms and yawned. Mimi laughed a little.

"Wait, I'll make you some toasts." Mimi took two slice of bread and put it in the toaster.

"Thanks! You're really great."

"It's nothing." She took out a plate, butter knife, strawberry jam, a cup and some milk. She started to pour the milk in the cup and waited for the toast. When the breads became toasts, Mimi jammed it. Michael stared at Mimi. Mimi being in the kitchen and preparing breakfast for Michael made Michael want her more than he ever did. He found her very attractive. "Here! All done!" She said with a nice smile. "Anyway, serve yourself. I need to bring juice to the girls." Mimi turned around with her back face to Michael. Michael couldn't help but walk closer to Mimi quietly. He grabbed her from the back which surprised Mimi.

"Umm... Michael?" She asked. Her voice was trembling. Michael didn't reply to Mimi. All he did was smell her hair. He used one of his hands to turn Mimi's face on the side and kissed her soft lips. Mimi didn't respond to the kiss. The moment his lips touched hers, flashbacks of the time when Mimi was young in the park with Sora and Michael appeared. Mimi finally remembered Michael. Lastly, the image of Yamato appeared in her mind. Mimi pushed Michael away and ran back to her room. On her way to her room, she kept on mumbling Yamato's name as quietly as she. Her heart was beating faster than ever. Without thinking anything, she rushed in Izumi's room and took her cell phone. She tried to search for Yamato's phone number and when she found it, she immediately called him with Izumi's phone.

"Hey Izumi! If you're searching for Kouji, you've got the wrong number! By the way, you're on a short vacation with Mimi right? How is she doing?"

"Hello? Izumi? You there?"

"..." Mimi's voice couldn't come out... Finally, words started to rush in her mind. What in the world am I doing... why did I even call him! He's such a jerk... but somehow... I really want to see him... Mimi started to cry. She didn't understand anything. She was confused. She wanted someone to tell her what was going on. How come she just realized that Michael was the guy she met long time ago.

"Hey, hey... Izumi? Are you crying or something? HELLO! Want me to tell Kouji to call you?" Yamato's voice sounded worried. But, Mimi didn't want him to get worried over Izumi but her. She quickly hung up and went back in her room leaving the phone her Izumi's bed. Soon, Hikari and Izumi went in Mimi's room to see what took her so long.

"Mimi? Are you alright? You look so sad..." Hikari asked.

"I... I want to go back now..."

"Eh! How come? The fun just started... We didn't even get the chance to swim in the lake yet..." Izumi said sadly. She tried to understand Mimi's sadness but couldn't figure anything out. She was about to ask Mimi when she hears her cell phone ringing. She ran back to her room and was wondering why her phone was on the bed but not in her bag. She checked the display and it was Kouji.

"Hello Kouji!"

"Izumi! Are you alright?" Kouji's voice sounded very worried which was unusual.

"Hm? Of course I'm alright! Why?"

"Matt just called me. He told me that you called him but didn't say anything. After, it sounded like you were crying."

"No way! I was playing pool with Hikari all... wait a minute! The one who was crying was Mimi... not me!"

"I don't understand anything..."

"I'm not too sure myself either... anyway... I'll call you back later... I'll go check if she's alright... bye!"

"Bye." Izumi hung up and ran back to Mimi's room.

"Okay... Mimi, you're going to tell us everything and then, we'll pack up and leave. If you don't say anything, we'll just stay here until you say something. Deal?"

"Deal..." Mimi nodded in the same time. Hikari was wondering why Izumi would give up so easily. Izumi sat down on Mimi's bed and heard her out. When Mimi finished talking about her confusion, both Hikari and Izumi hugged her. Later, Hikari went downstairs to see Mrs. Sin to talk about their sudden decision. Izumi, in the other hand, called their driver to come pick them up as quickly as possible. The girls packed up, excused themselves for all the trouble to Mrs. Sin and left before Michael notices anything.

Chapter 11 : In the time when Mimi felt the most confuse, Yamato's fan club decided to make their move and attack Mimi psychologically. Sora, in the other hand, met Michael once again. What will happen? What if Michael hears about Yamato and goes see about Mimi?
