WHEEE! I actually typed up chapter two! I'd like to thank everybody for reviewing! Just to clarify, Mimi is British, Taichi and Hikari inherited their family business and are muti-billionaires, Hikari is emotionally troubled and has a mental disorder, and Mimi currently resides with the Yagamis' and works under Taichi.
I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT IN THIS FIC EXCEPT FOR Courageux Eternellement AND THE STORY PLOT!

"YAMATO! The Yamato! Oh my gosh! I love him!" As much as I love Hikari, sometimes she's just so annoying. Really, Yamato is much too old for her. He's almost twenty five and she's like what, twelve? (OK so she's not twelve, but pretty darn close to it…like twenty?)
"Yamato who?" Taichi, of course. Who else in this world is as slooooow as Taichi? How could you not notice Yamato Ishida? He's been gracing the headlines since…since forever!
"Oh my gosh! That reminds me! Taichi, you definitely need to get Yamato to model for our company! It'll be like, the best thing ever! Especially since he's sooooooo popular right now!" That's real funny. Hikari never remembers anything. She has like selective amnesia or something and the only thing she knows is Yamato, Taichi, Mimi and other random stuff, like ice-cream. Hikari did this little dance move and kind of hopped out of sight.
Thank God. Not that I don't like her or anything…But like I said before, she can be annoying. But I feel a bit sorry for her. I'm afraid I'm not quite familiar with all the details but something traumatizing happened to her when she was really young. Taichi's uncomfortable speaking about it and Hikari's just too weird to ask anything.
I'll find out, eventually.
"Ohhkay. So uhm…What's his name? Yamato?" Taichi may be a bit on the dense side when it comes to stars, music, movies…even fashion! Which is puzzling because Taichi happens to be the Managing Director or CEO of his fabulously posh , absolutely fantastic company: Courageux Eternellement . He's managed to keep his elite company at the very top, along with other highly sophisticated designers like Christian Lacroix, Carolina Hererra, Oscar De La Renta, and Karl Lagerfield.
To compete, he needs just as sophisticated models to promote the company, AKA Yamato. And if Yamato signs a contract with Taichi, then, well…with Taichi being my boss and everything…
"Yamato. Yamato Ishida…Tai, you've got to meet him! He's just gorgeous!" I did a wee little ballet twirl and fell over Hikari's sofa, feeling all giddy and happy at the thought of photographing him!
"Watch the sofa! Your makeup's going to smear all over!" Oh yeah. My running mascara. That reminds me!
"Ohhh! Taichi! Yamato seems to be seeing that red-head!" I wailed, still draped over the sofa. Taichi smirked at me and gripped my arms to get me off that wonderful thing.
"Who? Karen Elson? Emma Watson?"
"No, not them! The former Wimbledon champion! The lovely red-head that used to model for tennis stuff!" I crumpled back onto that cool, white, hard…cloud? This thing is soo comfortable even though it's not…fluffy.
"There's another red-head? Really? Is she hot? Maybe I'll hire both of them." Maybe it's my PMS or maybe Taichi just wants to get me all mad. Either way, I really can't stand him today! I just stared at him and gave him another look.
"Just kidding, Meems. You want to show what this guys looks like?" Just then, he gave me one of his most endearing smiles and all my anger just melted away. Taichi is the most beautiful brunette in the world and the second most gorgeous male after Yamato. He's got these really rich chocolate colour eyes, a wonderfully defined profile, an infectious smile with sparkly white teeth , and messy choppy brilliantly brunette hair (Just like in that John Frieda commercial!).
That's why he gets almost any female he wants, even the supermodels that model for his company.
And…well this is quite embarrassing but…Sometimes even I find myself being attracted to him. Only sometimes. That doesn't happen often, only when…only when …Ok, fine! I did like him, once, and it was ages ago, when we first met, and before I even first heard of Yamato.
By now, he's led me to his office (Which is, by the way, wonderfully immaculate! It's all modern, just like the rest of his flat, and all shining, white and new.), to where his computer lay.
I quickly typed in Yamato Ishida's company profile and there he was! His headshot! Oh dear lord! It's a new one that I've not yet seen! His hair is styled in the messy, long look that's in right now, shining a brilliant gold. His pristine sapphire blue eyes are gazing back at you with such intensity! And, eep! Look at the way his jaw line and neck has become more defined! Ohmigosh, I'm in love!
"We-ell…He does look Ok but…I'm hotter." Really? Yeah, ok.
"Tai, you're so vain!" I commented as I searched up more of his shots. Page after page of dreamy expressions and eep! It's her again! That bloody model! She's such a bloody cow! She's-she's a-
"SORA!" What? Her dress? I mean, it does kind of look like Vera Wang but no! And how can you mix up Vera with Sora!
"Uhmm…I hate to break it to you but she's not wearing a Vera Wang. It's actually a vintage Armani. Georgio Armani." Taichi's not taking it very well. His face looks all ashen and strained. I really didn't think he'd be so upset over what? A dress? (Well…it's a very nice dress that I wouldn't've mind wearing myself. A pale yellow flowing chiffon that has a diamond clasp in the back! Very pretty, and very, VERY immaculate. Of course, she doesn't look half as decent as Yamato wearing that Armani suit and it looks like his cuff links are-OH MY GOSH! Are those the new, available-only-to-VIP, fantabulously expensive cuff links from Cartier!).
"No, not the dress. The model. She used to be my-my ex-girlfriend. When did she become a model? She was a tennis player last time I saw her." No way. No bloody way. Sora? That's her name? And she used to be Tai's ex-girlfriend? Wait a minute…Hold a second!
"Tai! How is she your 'used to be ex-girlfriend'? She still is your ex-girlfriend."
"She used to be my ex-girlfriend because my current ex-girlfriend is the blond from Cali…And since she's not my 'ex-girlfriend' anymore, maybe we could hook up. She got mad hot! Real different with makeup and nice clothes…Whadaya think, Meems?" Could Taichi still be interested in that red-headed cow?
"Perfect! Perhaps maybe you two could even get married! I mean, why wouldn't she fall in love with you? You're the second most beautiful, sexy man in the world!" That cow Sora can get with Taichi and I could have Yamato all to myself! (I'm not saying Taichi should get with a cow. It's just that he seems sooo in love with her and everything. Not because I'm a bad friend or anything…) It's positively brilliant! Wonderfully witty and smart! I love it! The best idea since Emc squa-
"Only second most?" Taichi cocked his eyebrow at me.
"Darling, I know it must hurt, but you really mustn't shy away from reality. It's for your own good to realize that Yamato is the hottest, sexiest, most beautiful man ever. Really. Trust me." Eep! That just slipped out of nowhere! Wait a minute…just hold on a second.
Blimey! That's right! Why would she ever leave Yamato to get with only second best Taichi?
"OHHH NOOOO! Tai, she's not even going to give you a glance! Not when she's following Yamato around like-like she's his Hogzilla!" Taichi stared at me as if I was mentally retarded. Didn't I tell him about his Hogzilla?
"Hogzilla's his dog." I added helpfully.
"Uh-huh. Right. Well…there is one thing we could do…" Eep! He gave me this kind of evil, conniving smile that somehow reminded me of the Angel of Death (He was supposed to be really charismatic and lovely while sending off all those girls to the gas chambers. At least Tai doesn't have a little triangular gap between his front teeth. That would have been hideous. Absolutely!)
"Hey Meems! You used to be a model, right?" Gulp. I was right. He is the Angel of Death sending me to the gas chambers! Modeling! That's one memory I'd very much like to forget. Maybe I'll decide to get selective amnesia or something like what Hikari did.
"Yes. But now I'm retired…" I stated, stoutly.
"Sorry, love, but you're going to have to cut your retirement short." He held out his hand. I refused to touch it. " You, of all people, wouldn't want to miss out on modeling with Yamato."
Oh dear. Oh dearie me.
Just as a side note, Taichi does have some feelings for Sora…If you haven't picked it up…I'll explain their history and everything in the following chapters!
For my reviewers:
Brain-Icee, thanks for picking up the fact that Mimi's British! (I'm actually from the US so it was kind of hard trying to sound like a British! But I'm glad someone noticed.) And yes, it will be a MIMATO! (Sorry Koumiloccness, I'll write a koumi eventually…I like that couple!)
Unheardcries, I updated! Woohoo!
Josiewitchgirl, she is supposed to be a little ditsy, fashion and fun crazed! It's just so much more fun to write about a totally random, all over the place person!
Cloaked Fox, I've realized that the tense structure is wrong, but that was done intentionally to sound as if one was actually inside her mind and reading her train of thought. Thanks for noticing and telling me so! (Oh yeah, it is extremely AU but well…I used Digimon characters and I have to give them credit for making them up…)
Reh, thanks for reviewing!
ZellloverIrvinehater and Cucumberpickles, thanks! And yes and yes to both your questions!
I hope that clarified any questions you might have had... Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! Tootles!
