..A Corridor at Odaiba Campus..

Two people walked down the hallway quickly. They both were very different, from their personalities to their gender. But they did have one thing in common.

They were both needed at the Nurse's Office.

They walked silently until the older boy spoke up, "So…why do you reckon we're needed there?"

"Hmm…it's most likely that note the school sent to us a couple of weeks ago, I think it's how we need a hepatitis B shot or something. Though I find it strange because it's only us two who are going there. Did you know?" Kari asked TK, then received a confused look from him. "Man, you don't know anything that goes around here. You should pay more attention and be less ignorant."

"Sorry…Ms. I-know-everything-and-think-I'm-a-smart-ass," TK spoke speedily without thinking.

"Haha that's real funny...I was just saying, idiot! We're here by the way," Kari gestured to the door which displayed a sign depicting the place they were supposed to be. Takeru knocked the door.

Immediately, it opened.

A woman with black short hair beamed back at them. She wasn't the school's nurse…perhaps a visitor, thought Takeru. She was middle aged with a friendly essence that captured them.

"Good Afternoon Takeru Kamiya and Hikari Takaishi…I presume?" her broad grin widened eyeing the pair as if they were her prey.

"Yeah…you got that right. I was just wondering...," TK paused with obvious curiosity then blurted out, "Why are we here?"

"Didn't you receive the letter?" the woman paused with one of her eyebrows raised, " How many times we've tried to get contact with each of your families for this certain injection. Why…I mustn't leave you standing out here. Do come in…take a seat on the bed. Feel comfortable, just relax…this shot that you are going to have isn't close to painful at all."

"Thanks," Kari smiled and pulled TK with her into the room, shutting the door behind.

"So…let's get this over with," the woman smiled warmly as she place a pair of plastic gloves on her hands. "I'll do you first Mr. Kamiya, since you look rather eager about this. Roll up your sleeve, dear."

He looked very uncertain and eagerabout this…but he didn't know why. He had a number of different injections before…yet he was really unsure. He shrugged and pulled up the sleeve of his school sport's uniform. Without hesitation, she jabbed the injection into his right arm. Instead of the liquid being injected…his blood was going into the needle.

Kari noticed it and suspiciously spoke up at the process, " Are you taking blood from Takeru or is it me? Aren't you supposed to…"

The woman interrupted her, " Have you heard of the quote of how the cat died from curiosity? Keep that in mind little Hikari. But if you needed to know, this is how the injection takes place. It's your turn by the way. Do pull up your sleeve."

"Already done Miss."

She passed a cotton bud and a Band-Aid to TK, so he would put it on himself. She turned to the younger girl, with a new needle gleaming in her left hand. The woman stabbed it in Hikari, with her patient wincing a bit.

"Kari, I'll be waiting outside," TK informed with something suspicious and hesitant in his tone of voice.

"Sure."

Takeru walked out, carefully shutting the door behind him. The woman took out the injection and placed a cotton bud and Band-Aid onto the bleeding spot.

"All finished," she grinned sweetly, " You can go know Ms. Kamiya…umm Mr. Takaishi."

Kari was at the door when she spoke but paused as she was about to turn the handle, "What did you call me? Ms. Kamiya?"

"Ohh..sorry," the woman responded to her quire, " I'm just getting things your names mixed up and all. Run along now."

Hikari frowned and opened the door, then closed it to see Takeru waiting patiently for her with a ready expression written on his pale face.

"Why were you waiting for me?"

"I thought it was polite," TK told then continued, " She took blood from us…and I'm sure she wasn't very truthful."

"I know. But … she looked like she was telling the truth from my point of view," Kari objected. "Then again…you never know...but you're paranoid either way.."

"That's what bugs me. I think I had that injection before Kari. Hepatitis B, right?" Takeru ignored her insult.

"Then why'd you take it again?"

"I said I wasn't sure. And if I did have it…I'm sure she wasn't supposed to take any blood from me. She took quite a lot if you hadn't noticed," added Takeru. " I remember getting the note, but I didn't get my mom to sign it..and I didn't even return it to school...yet that person back there still injected me without my gaurdian's permission.."

"Stop being so paranoid! Youknow what, Takeru," laughed Kari, " This is our first conversation when I haven't tore your throat out!"

" No,no,no," Takeru sneered, " You've got it all wrong. You mean 'I' haven't tore your precious throat. And it's TK, not Takeru...didn't I tell you before?"

"How come you took so long?" questioned TK as he walked with his brother down the street towards their home.

"Gee…I'm sorry. I so happened to get a hour detention from coming late to school and bringing a large mass of girls with me for seeing YOU stuff up when I recall you swearing that you'll be nice to Hikari," Taichi said with sarcasm in his disturbed tone.

"You were spying with us?" moaned TK, "Don't worry. I think everything's all cool with us now. Anyway the detention was your fault..you shouldn't have been snooping around at our business in the first place dude."

"Don't call me dude…aren't you supposed to call me bro, bro?" commented Tai, " And it's thanks to me you have gained a new girlfriend."

"No…you mean no thanks to you," smirked TK and instantly got a friendly punch on the arm from his older brother. "TAIII!"

"What? Can't stand a little punch, you girl! I thought you could handle it since you-."

"Bro…just shutup. I've had an injection there," he murmured.

"An injection?" Tai repeated, "That is suchthe lamest excuse I've heard from you, I usually hear better excuse!"

"Too bad…don't blame me if it's the truth," TK rolled his bright blue eyes in pure irritation.

"By the way…we're having dinner with the Takaishi's tomorrow. Kari will be there so don't worry…you'll have company," mocked Tai, " Company at bashing each other to death in other words."

"Not funny! Didn't I tell you we're all sorted out. So to your sadness there will be NO fights going on. And I hope you don't try to have another phase in setting me up with her."

"No, this is a family get together and get to know," smiled Taichi, " Mum and Dad's coming…so I'm sorry if you can't whip each other's asses' ."

"AGAIN TAI! Not funny! Far out…get over it," sighed TK, " Anyway I know for sure what your plan is. I've heard you murmering in your sleep of getting a new brother-in-law…and I'm pretty sure that would be Matt."

"whatever," shrugged Tai, "we're home."

"I don't need to be told when I know."

"Put a can in your mouth TK! You cocky lil boy..smart ass," Tai said rather iolently, but in some way carefully, grabbed the blonde's head and yelled with joy, " NOOGIE!"

"ARGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH"

NEXT CHAPTER: Takeru and Hikari are called to the police station in the middle of class! Keep guessing…I hope (man, I always use that word) you won't guess what's coming for you. And what will happen to the dinner with the Takaishi's? All revealed in the next chapter of The Mixup!

That's it for chapter four. I HOPE that chapter was much better than the previous…but then again I assure you that next will be better because I'm going to put my 100 in it! . The answer to the reviews are below…and I really need to go that rhymes! Lots of love and DO take care… starry-eyed- flipstahhz lolz

Flipstahhz replies…

Kaion Vin: It's glad to know you're back! Did you guess correct of what was going to happen in the office? Thanks for the review

Kazimir: Yeah…they're getting to know each other better now. I hope I didn't keep you waiting long and that you liked this chapter …

Lina, Kamehameha, Anime-Master7, crazypixie789, lottie11, miaow227, neofilly : I do hope that this chapter is longer and that you liked it. Thanks for the reviews and your inspiration that is actually making me want to continue in writing this story…even though it's just a fanfic where I can muck around with. And as crazypixie789 has mentioned…TAKARI DOES ROCK! I couldn't help that…sorry. I guess we all can get hyper sometimes

Jay Man: I wouldn't say I'm actually wrong about the gradings, but from your point of view probably you would. I mean…that here in Australia or my school things are graded differently, so that may be why I have confused you. Thanks for telling me…it's great learning from other authors The families are shrugging off the fact about the hospital because they don't believe or don't want to believe it. After the hospital had started ringing up or getting contact for a number of times…they've lost interest and see it really annoying.

Lighthope: Thanks a HUGEEEEE lot for telling me about my mistake. As you could see, in the previos chapter, I have cut the bit out in the end. And the thing about the gradings…well let's just say that experience has been threatening me ever since the start of this year. Damn! People should be happy when they get A already!
