Chapter Twenty-seven: The Dreaded Pink Hearts
Ah, the dreaded day. A day from which there was no escape. All across the world, people either lost their senses in the happy day or, like the rest of the sane world (who's sane?), gagged on all the happiness (up goes a hand)... It was a day that even the dark villains, which lived in the dark ocean, dreaded... Valentine's Day... Shudder...
This dreaded day was rapidly approaching, following Rika's birthday. Which, for a certain Gogglehead, was almost there. It was three days before her birthday and Takato was pacing about, a frown set upon his face. When he had asked Rika out, it had been a week before her birthday. Now there was less than three more days. He had gotten a fancy table at one of those nice restaurants with some money that his cousin had lent him.
Speaking of his cousin, the Eastern Quadrant Gogglehead was up a tree, literally. Davis was hiding from his fangirls, who were roaring mad that a girl other than them had captured his heart. Davis looked down, his eyes easily picking out the circling girls... They reminded him of angry lions... Prowling about, their eyes narrowed... Creepy...
The gogglehead started further up the tree, knowing that he would be spotted if he stayed in the lower branches. Those girls... They knew his scent. After all, they had mobbed him one day, and if it wasn't for Takato and Taijin, they would have stripped him of all of his worldly possessions... Poor Davis... Evil girls...
Oddly enough, it seemed as if one of his fangirls had calmed down a little bit. It was his formerly chief fan, Leiko. She no longer chased him through the streets of West Shinjuku like she had. Davis sighed; he knew that she had been watching that interview. Had what he said scared her off? Not likely. He knew better than that. Fangirls, from one world or another, never gave up, especially if there was even the smallest chance of catching the elusive prey... Which was him... Something was wrong with that thought...
Davis scowled, wondering when his dear brother was going to show up. Taijin had promised to help him when the girls cornered him. The traitor hadn't shown up, yet... Poor Davis... Stuck up a tree... What a horrible fate.
That 'traitor' was presently run from his own pack of rabid fangirls. He had no idea that human females could run that fast! Taijin rounded a corner and jumped five feet up to reach the bottom rung on a fire escape. The goggled boy pulled himself up and out of sight as the girls pounded by underneath. The boy let out a breath he didn't know that he had been holding in. It was then that the boy looked up and saw something for the first time in his short life.
There were white particles floating down from the clouds over the city. Taijin blinked, raising a hand to catch one of the particles. It landed in his palm and the boy stared in wonder as it melted. Taijin blinked, moving his head so that he could see the particles better. This weather phenomenon was something unusual. Taijin shifted a little bit, letting one of the flakes land on his nose. It melted. Apparently this white stuff was a type of water trapped in a solid state, quite like ice. But this stuff was already building up piles. The ground was cold enough for the white particles not to melt.
Taijin jumped down from the fire escape and ran back to the bakery. He had to ask one of the others what this weather was called. He rushed up and saw Takato using the white stuff to form round objects, called 'balls' by humans. Takato looked up as he heard footsteps. There was his naive cousin.
"Takato, what is this called?" Taijin asked him, not noticing the cold. Takato blinked, staring at his cousin as if he had grown a couple of extra heads.
"It's called snow, Taijin." Takato told him, going back to his forming of the soon-to-be projectiles. Taijin blinked... again... and looked down at the projectiles.
"And what are these called?" He asked Takato, who had finished.
"They're called snowballs and they're for throwing at people. LIKE THIS!" And with that, Takato grabbed up one of the snowballs and got Taijin right in the face with it. Taijin fell backwards, his hands wiping the white stuff off of his face. His eyes were narrowed at Takato. The red eyed Gogglehead laughed weakly before taking off like a bat out of hell. Stupid Gogglehead, should have known that his cousin had perfect aim.
When Takato limped into the bakery's kitchen, his mother chose not to ask him what was up. Good idea. The poor boy was soaked to the bone. Taijin soon came in with a smug look on his face. Mie sighed. Lifting up the end of the calendar, she wrote "Takato, 0. Taijin, 1".
It was then that a white headed blur shot through the kitchen at top speed. Davis was back, and to say the least, he was not amused. He was on the hunt for his brother. Taijin, upstairs, looked up. As cliché as it sounded, 'there was a disturbance in the force'. Taijin decided that it was time for him to make an exit. The teenager calmly got up and walked to the window. He opened it and hauled himself up onto the roof.
It was then that the counter gogglehead came into the room. Davis peered, looking around for his dear, dear brother. When he caught that little... well, that part is better left up to the imagination. The white haired boy decided to look where he himself had hidden many times before. He poked his head out the window and looked up. There, above him, was the 'brother' he was looking for. Taijin smiled weakly at Davis. Davis glared meanly at Taijin. Now, there won't be details of what happened afterwards, but there will be sound effects.
Pow, whack, boom, ka-BAM! BIG BADDA BOOM! This was a small amount of the sounds that came from the upper level of the bakery. Mie looked up in the bakery, her hands clutching a bag of bread. The costumer, the ever present Yamaki, also looked up. The two adults both looked at each other and shrugged. It was just a couple of brothers fighting, nothing new.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leiko meanwhile was pacing about her room. She had one of those bad feelings. It always showed up about this time of night. It was like something was fixing to go wrong, but changed its freaking mind at the last freaking second. This was the feeling that was making Leiko go a little bit battier than she already was. She walked over to her closet and got changed, ready to go outside. Even if was five below, she would still wear her short plaid skirt. The girl paused in front of her mirror, arranging her hair. After she got it 'perfect' (tied back in a bun with her bangs free), she check her outfit.
It was a short plaid skirt with straps hanging down from the waist line. There was also tall black combat boots that almost reached her knees. A black tee shirt with a hot pink heart in front of some slime green crossbones. The right amount of eyeliner and mascara were around her eyes, with her lips colored black with some lipstick. The legendary fangirl was ready to get going. The girl went over to where her Digimon had made a little nest. It mostly consisted of scraps of old clothes that she didn't wear anymore. All in all, Raimymon claimed that it was rather warm. This could be from her use of wool in the walls of the nest.
Leiko peered into this little nest and found her Digimon snoozing. The little fairy was quite cute when she was asleep. Correction, she was quite cute at any time of the day. Leiko reached into the nest and picked the small humanoid up, carefully avoiding damaging her fragile wings. Leiko carried the little Digimon over to the coat rack and put her down for a moment. She looked at all of her many different coats and selected her long black one. It went down to mid-thigh on her and had spacious pockets for Raimymon. Leiko went over to where she had set her sleeping Digimon down and put the little thing in the coat's pocket. Now Leiko was ready to go.
Leiko walked out of her room and down the stairs to the front hall. She poked her head out, looking either way to make sure that her parents weren't around. When she didn't see them she hurried to the front door and got outta there.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Davis was grinning, working out how long Takato was going to be paying him with bare minimum. To say the least, Davis definitely was thinking about going into the money lending business. The easterner leaned back in his seat, starting to whistle a merry tune. Ah, how much he loved the idea of money.
The other two were changing their clothes. They had to change in their room because Jun had snatched the bathroom and absolutely refused to hurry up.
It was then that the door to his room opened and in came Leiko. Davis fell backwards from his seat and landed on his feet. One can only imagine how many times he had done that. The teenager quickly turned and glared at the girl. The southern gogglehead yelped. He quickly ducked behind the closet door while the other one, Taijin, just stood there wondering what was happening.
"Don't you know how to knock! And Taijin, have some male modesty!" Davis threw a fig leave at his brother. Where he had gotten said fig leave, well, that was left up to the reader to figure out. Taijin blinked, snagging the leave out of the air. Takato threw one of the many trench coats in the closet at his dear cousin. Taijin caught it and held it in front of himself.
Leiko was now blushing red. She hadn't expected to be treated to such a show. The girl turned on her heel and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her. The girl waited five minutes before she knocked on the door. When she heard enter, she walked back into their room.
The boys were now dressed. They were glaring when she walked in, well, two of them were. The other one was asking about what was wrong. After all, Taijin wasn't familiar with the word "modesty". Leiko giggled weakly, a sheepish look on her face.
"What do you want, Leiko?" Takato asked her, scowling deeply. He had to remind himself to put a lock on that door.
"Err... I was looking for Jun. She wasn't in her room, so..." Leiko trailed off, trying not to blush in front of the guys.
"You thought that she was in our room? Why would she be in here?" Davis asked her, the only one of the guys that hadn't been... well... in his birthday suit when the girl had walked in.
"Well, your Aunt said that-" It was then that Leiko was cut off by three boys rushing downstairs. They all ran into the kitchen and glared at Mie.
"MOM! Did you tell Leiko that Jun was in our room!" Takato asked her, his eyebrows clinched together. Mie looked up from the dough she was kneading and smiled.
"Why, I do believe I said something like that." The adult said her eyes full of mischief. Takato backed off, knowing that his dear, dear Mother would get him good if he protested.
