It had been 1 month since Mimi and Matt confessed their love to each other. Matt
had all his material possessions shipped back to Japan and with the money him and Mimi
both had they quickly bought a lovely apartment together. They had decided to go out
almost every night to clubs and go dancing. They sat down at a table with music blazing
in the background.

Mimi traced her index finger along Matt's chest. She looked into his eyes and
simply said " I want you but am not ready. One day I shall be though."

"I know," he said as he held her hand tightly. He looked into her brown eyes. He
loved her eyes. Suddenly he perked up.

"Matt what is it" she asked.

He smiled "I know this song"

"Really" she said sarcastically "Who is it then and what's the title?"

He looked at her. "It's an American band called Linkin Park. The song is "With
You" he told her as he pulled her onto the dance floor. They clutched each other and he
whispered to her "Listen to the lyrics, this is how I feel."

She pulled him even closer. He loved the feel of her body. So slender and petite.

I woke up in a dream today

Put my cold feet on the floor

Forgot all about yesterday

Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore

A little taste of hypocrisy

And I'm left in the wake of the mistakes/slow to react

Even though you're so close to me

You're still so distant and I can't bring you back
It's true the way I feel

Was promised by your face

The sound of your voice

Painted on my memories

Even if you're not with me I'm with you

You now I see/keeping everything inside

You now I see/ even when I close my eyes
I hit you and you hit me back

We fall to the floor

The rest of the day stands still

Fine line between this and that

When things go wrong

I pretend that the past isn't real

And now I'm trapped in this memory

And I'm left in the wake of the mistakes/slow to react

You're still so distant and I can't bring you back
It's true the way I feel

Was promised by your face

The sound of your voice

Painted on my memories

Even if you're not with me I'm with you
No

No matter how far we've come I can't wait to see tomorrow

With you

You now I see/keeping everything inside

With you

You now I see/ even when I close my eyes

With you

No matter how far we've come I , I can't wait to see tomorrow

With you

You now I see/keeping everything inside

With you

You now I see/ even when I close my eyes

With you

People were looking at them funny. Linkin Park is hardcore rock and they were

dancing to it like it was a slow song.

They decided to walk partially because they wanted to snuggle up while walking,

and plus they walked there in the first place.

Mimi pulled Matt close wrapped her arms around her neck and he lifted her off
the ground as they kissed. He set her down and they held on to each other.

"It's beautiful out" she said smiling.

"Not as beautiful as you" he said lovingly and truthfully.

As they leaned in to kiss a man smashed into Mimi knocking her out with the
sheer force of the hit. He grabbed her without stopping (running the entire time) picked
her up over his shoulder and was gone. He's fast but luckily Matt managed to keep up.

"Ha" Matt laughed in his head as the man ran down an alley, which Matt knew was a
dead end.

When confronted and trapped the man set Mimi down and bowed. He rose and
simply said "you should have let him have his way with her."

"What?" Matt questioned enraged.

"I have a message for you. That was the first part. The second is you have
embarrassed the powerful Crime Lord Shiha Jyune in his moment of glory when he was
about to take her body and become owner of it" he said pointing at Mimi who was still
unconscious from the sheer force of the mans' impact with her. "The third part is you will
pay for embarrassing him. With your life. Now I take my leave with the message having been delivered."

The man flew right past Matt and out of the alley but he didn't care. He
scooped up Mimi and carried her home and laid her on the bed. Her clothes were filthy
and wet so he changed her put her under the covers and climbed into bed with her.

The next day they went to the beach at about 3:30. He stared out at the sea.

"Matt, is something wrong?" Mimi asked him.

Tears began to pour down his face. "I don't think we should be together
anymore."

"What?" she asked in shock "why? You're joking right? Matt, I love you and you
love me."

"No, you see, I never loved you. I just wanted to screw you and dump you." He
said with a naughty smirk on his face. Besides how could I love you you're a crybaby
spoiled brat whiny bitch. But you have a body that'll make any man want you."

"You're joking Matt. I know you love me, so stop," she said as tears welled up.

"I don't care about you, bitch." He laughed.

"Well if you don't care about me why is your chest growing with the symbol for
the crest of friendship?" she pointed at his chest. He looked down and saw his chest
glowing with his crest's symbol.

He got up. And walked away, "Good bye bitch" he laughed as he walked away
his hands in his pockets and his head held low.

When he was far enough that he couldn't hear her screaming he muttered under his
breath "Good bye my love." Tears began to flow freely.

He walked to his apartment in tears the entire way he took some clothes and left.

He headed over to Sora's and when the door opened he was greeted with a fist to his face.

"Tai, what the?" he was cut off as another punch headed toward his gut. He
dodged it and grabbed Tai and restrained him. "What's your problem Tai?"

"What do you think?" he screamed. "You said you loved her and then you broke

her heart!"

"Tai, you don't understand." Matt tried to calm him down with no such luck. Matt
let go of Tai "Can we go somewhere to talk" he asked Tai.

"Fine" Tai grunted. They walked for about five minutes then Tai said that this
was far enough.

"Why'd you break her heart?" Tai shot his first question.

"Because she a spoiled bitch." Matt tried to keep a steady voice.

"You know what Matt, I'm gonna' let that slide by. I know you man, you love her
and I know that if you broke her heart like that there's more to the whole scenario than
just that she spoiled. It's me man you don't have to make up lies and try to carry on a bad
acting plot."

"Fine. You want to know why? Because last night a man knocked Mimi out ran
off with her down an alley and told me that I would pay for what I did to some big crime
lord who just happens to be the guy I knocked out trying to rape Mimi." By this time
tears were falling from Matt's eyes. "So I told Mimi I only wanted to have my way with
her and that was all I wanted."

"I get it if she would get mad enough and leave to get away from you this guy
couldn't use her to get to you. I've seen the way she looks at you. If you could get her to
hate you then if this guy killed you, she wouldn't go through a world of pain." Tai stated.

"Yeah" was all Matt got to say as Tai took off. "Where are you going, Tai?" Matt
yelled after him. Tai simply stopped and held up a recorder.

"Leave the country. Give me a call and I'll let Mimi know when you're back in
America" he instructed.

"When I call tell Mimi I love her but not to come looking for me, OK?" he asked as tears exploded from his eyes.
