"I'm sorry, Mr. Tachikawa, but I'm afraid we did all we could but we were just, too late."

"No you didn't do everything you could, if you did she'll still…!! She'll still be," Mimi watched her father's crying head collapse onto his hands and onto the doctor's shoulder, mumbling a bunch of words Mimi could not understand yet.

"Papa?" she asked, the innocence of a four-year-old dripping off every word. At her eyes, she seemed so tiny compared to the adults around her; the doctor, her father, and her mother who was sleeping on a white, fluffy bed. Mimi batted her hazel eyes and sauntered over beside her mother, she picked her head as high as it could go and peeped her eyes onto her sleeping beauty mom.

"Momma, wake up, momma," she ushered. "you hafta take me to my bicycle race at school. Momma?" she poked her.

"Mimi, hime," her dad bent down to her face. She saw the tears streaming down his face as he choked out the words. "Mommy is—she can't take you to school today, any day."

"But it's my race I hafta go," Mimi argued. Her father knew there was no other way in telling his precious treasure, lawyer-to-be seeing how she's not going to stop arguing till she gets the answer she wants. "Papa?" Her father burst into another silent weeping as the doctor laid a hand on his shoulder. They talked for a while.

"She will always be with us," the doctor said calmly while a nurse came in. Mimi watched as she took the blanket of her mom and draped it over her head.

"She can't breathe!" Mimi exclaimed and surprised everyone. "No, momma's sleeping don't—" she was stopped when her dad put a firm hand on her shoulder and shook his head. Mimi still didn't get the point, or at least, didn't want to.

"Your mother is still with us, Mimi," her dad said thinking Mimi knew.

"Where is she then?" Mimi asked in horror of everyone's actions. "Momma, where's momma?" she suddenly stormed running out of the room and didn't stop there either. She kept on running around, screaming her mother's name.

"Momma! Where is she?!" she frantically asked as tears began streaming down her face. She could hear her dad and other hospital medicals calling to her as she kept darting around.

"Mimi! Mimi, stop!" her dad yelled. "Mimi!!"

"Mimi? Hime, are you alright?"

Mimi snapped her head up and glanced around her, she was still in the limo. Mimi let out a small sigh and laid a hand on her forehead, sweat trickling down her temples and down to her cheeks, a slight frown wounded across her face from the past thinking.

"Mimi?"

Mimi slightly turned her head to face the open car-door and her father's head poking in. "Hai, Otou-san?"

"Daijibou?" he asked. "You look pale there, is something wrong?" Mimi quickly shook her head with a smile.

"Okay," he replied and held out his hand. "C'mon. I have to stop at the agency this morning to talk to some guys about your coming album. You can just wait around inside the lobby, k?"

"But papa I—"

"Francis, Matthew! Watch over her," her dad commanded, waving at his daughter before running inside the huge building.

"Well, Miss Mimi?" Almighty Matthew smiled and held a hand towards the building. "Shall we escort you in?"

Mimi sighed and stepped out, "This, isn't, fair," she silently whined and stepped out, grumpily marching into the doors followed by her guards.

"I'm inspecting Miss Tachikawa is feelings a tad bit upset," Almighty Matthew whispered loudly behind her.

"I think it is that time of the month," Gigantic Francis replied back. Mimi grunted out a laugh as they walked in.

"Oh, quit it you guys," she said walking around the lobby. She plopped herself down on the waiting room chair just outside of where her dad was. Letting out a sigh she crossed her legs as the two guards stood firm beside her. "Do you guys always have to stand so close?"

"You'll never know, Miss Mimi, there could be trifles aiming for you any moment," Francis replied. "So tell us, Miss Mimi, what is troubling you?"

"Hikari just came in this morning, I was suppose to be there the moment she stepped off the plane and," she sighed and tossed a look to the room her father was, "I'm stuck in bores-ville all day. Otou-san is being so unfair! Not like I'll get killed going with Hikari, I mean, practically all the people there are famous and…and…" she slightly picked her head up, catching a particular poster on the bulletin board.

"Miss Mimi?"

Mimi was standing up now and walking towards the blue parchment she had kept her eyes on. "No way…" she muttered as a smile spread across her face and she slightly picked the paper up.

"Mimi?"

"Huh?" Mimi quickly snatched and stuffed the paper in her jeans and grinned to Francis and Matthew. "Oh, it's nothing. Thought it said there was a sale, at the mall! Ano…I gotta go to the bathroom," she hastily excused herself and walked rather fast into the bathroom where she locked herself in a stall.

*Flight 169 from New York has now arrived at Gate 3*

"Gate 3's over there, guys, c'mon she's just landed!" Taichi called and was about to head out from their car in the parking lot when an arm grabbed his neck. "Yow! What?"

"Baka," Sora lectured as she stepped out. "If we go in the fans'll go crazy and maul us over. If you checked Hikari's letter it said that she'll be coming at a different private plane, meaning…that way." She pointed down a flight of stairs that led down the airport lanes.

Yamato came out chuckling, he waved his hand at the driver, "We'll be fine from here, go on back and tell Jyou. Ja," and with that the limo drove away and Yamato turned to his best friends. "Well? What are we waiting for? Taichi, you do remember at least what your sister looks like, ne?"   (Stupid sarcastic question x.o)

Taichi grinned sheepishly, "Depends," Yamato and Sora let out a small laugh before heading down the stairs. If they were to look up, they would've caught the shy crimson shades that were on Taichi's cheeks, and—they were not because of his mistake.

"Taichi!" Hikari Yagami dropped her bags down and threw her arms around her brother's neck. "I missed you so much! Ha-ha!"

Taichi almost fell back, "I see," he chuckled as she let go. "How was New York?"

"The best, Oniichan!" Hikari exaggerated as Taichi went to pick her bags up. "The photo shoots were a huge bore and all but the malls and everything else was sugoi!" she gasped. "Sora! Yamato!" leaving an amused Taichi behind she quickly ran to Yamato and Sora and engulfed them in a huge bear-hug. "Omigosh, how are you guys!?"

"H-hey, Hikari," Sora slightly giggled out the words. "See you're in a good mood."

"Hai," Hikari smiled as Yamato put an arm around her shoulder.

"How's my almost little sister doing? Hear you're sneaking us into Keith's club tonight, I knew you were good for something," he said jokingly.

"I'm 13 and not so small anymore," Hikari beamed proudly. "At least I can get in…well, sort of. That's where you guys get in, Keith won't let me in there unless I have you guys with me since I might 'get attacked or something'. Weird."

"Hey, help here!!" Taichi whined, eagle-armed with Hikari's bags.

"Eh, gomen, Taichi-kun," Hikari laughed with the others.

After they got Hikari's hundred luggage, they walked outside the parking lot of the Odaiba Airport and on their way to Hikari's luxury suite—their parents' house. After a while of standing by the sidewalk, Taichi lost his patience and began his whining.

"Where is he?" he turned to Sora. "And what's with that, sending the limo back now we don't have a ride and the club opens in—7 hours, heh."

"Relax, Taichi," Sora smiled with a sigh. "Yamato's just getting his car from Izzy's place. He should be here any minute. Hikari, daijibou?"

"Huh," Hikari replied and turned from the road. She had on an upsetting look, "Gomen ne, it's just that…my friend was suppose to be here today, I barely ever get to see her and now I probably won't for the time I'm here. She loves New York and would've gone with me if her dad wasn't so paranoid that the plane might crash and burn…and now he won't let her come to the club with us."

"Who are you talking about? Miyako?" Sora asked just when Yamato pulled up with his silver-chrome convertible, the hood down Yamato hopped out and he and Taichi began hauling things into the trunk.

"Iie, I see Miyako almost everyday. This girl's a real famous, not to mention, sugoi singer! Maybe you've heard of her," Hikari replied as she and Sora got in the backseats.

Yamato closed the trunk, "What about Miyako?" he asked.

Taichi hopped in beside the drivers' seat, "What girl?" he asked, a faint blush appearing on his cheeks when Yamato got in beside him and turned the engine on.

Hikari smiled sweetly, the wind whirling her hair in directions, "My friend. She's in the music business too and she's really famous and totally cool, she just received this award thing a few days ago like—"

"The one we got," Yamato finished to everyone's amusement. He knew who she was talking about now, for he had had his eyes on her for quite a while now though never got the chance to meet her.

"You know Mimi?" Hikari asked.

Sora cut in, "Mimi Tachikawa? That girl? How did you meet her, that manager of hers never lets her out of his sight!" 

"That would be her dad, Sora-chan," Hikari let out a tiny laugh. "Hai, I know he's a bit uptight but he's still pretty nice. Make a turn over there."

Yamato turned the wheel, "So, do we get to meet this Mimi tonight?"

"I was hoping tonight but, I guess she can't go," Hikari sadly replied.                     

"Mimi! Princess, are you alright in there?" Mimi's dad knocked on the bathroom door. "How long has she been in there?"

"About an hour now, sir," Matthew replied.

"Mimi?" her dad asked again.

"Hai?" The three men turned in surprise to find Mimi standing behind them. Mimi blinked, "Nani?"

"Weren't you—you were just in, the bathroom?" Matthew stuttered.

"Oh!" Mimi grinned and smacked her head. "Well, actually…I was but I've been er, wandering around the building the rest of the time." Great, now a whole other hour of lectures, Mimi thought.

Her father's face grew red, "Mimi, what were you thinking you could've hurt! Are you? Maybe you should lie down and—How could you two let her out of your sight like that?" he said and smacked the two men.

"Papa, no, no I'm fine," Mimi assured. "Gomen ne, I should've told them where I was going. I won't do it again, promise."

Her dad eyed her sincere expression before shaking his head, "Oh, what am I going to do with you, Mimi…c'mon, let's get outta here."

Mimi nodded and willfully followed her father and stuck between Almighty Matthew and Gigantic Francis. As they passed the lobby, Mimi wore a huge smile on her face and sneakily took out a wad of blue paper out of her pocket and dropped it into the garbage can without anyone noticing.  

What was it that Mimi saw? What surprises lie ahead for when the four arrive at the club? Give me 5 reviews and find out~! ^__^
