Chapter Eleven : Questions To Answer

Yamato's eyes flew open.

He found himself naked on Mimi's bed.

He brushed his hair up.

"Where's Mimi?" he wondered out loud.

He dressed up and got out of the bedroom.

He could hear cooking noises in the kitchen.

He walked silently to the kitchen and peeked at what Mimi was doing.

Mimi suddenly turned.

Yamato gulped.

"Hey…" Mimi greeted awkwardly.


Mimi placed a cup of coffee in front of Yamato.

"So…uh…" Mimi spoke, sitting in front of him.

Yamato sighed.

"Last night, you were drunk," he said.

Mimi looked up.

"I was?" Mimi asked. "That's why my head aches the moment I got up."

"Hangover, I suppose," Yamato said.

There was a moment of silence.

Mimi sipped her own cup of coffee.

"I-" both of them spoke.

"You go first," Yamato said.

"No, you go first," Mimi refused.

"Miyako told me you saw Sora last night," Yamato said, sipping his coffee.

Mimi pulled a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

She bit her lip and stirred the coffee.

"Yeah," she responded.

"What did she do?" Yamato asked.

"She talked to me," she said.

"About?" he asked.

Mimi stared down at her coffee.

"She already knows about our marriage," Mimi replied. "Your parents informed her."

"My parents? She asked them?" Yamato asked.

Mimi sighed.

"I guess…" she said.

Then both of them fell silent.

Yamato took the last sip out of his coffee.

"Mimi," he called her softly.

Mimi looked up. "Hm?"

"Last night," Yamato said. "You told me you liked me."

Mimi suddenly felt her blood rushing.

She slowly felt like blushing.

"I-I did?" she asked, getting up to put her empty cup of coffee and saucer in the sink.

Yamato tapped his fingers on the table, his head resting on his other hand.

"At first…I didn't want to believe what you said," Yamato confessed. "Because you were drunk."

Mimi's back was on him.

She was pretending to wash her hands on the sink.

She wiped her hands afterwards.

Then she turned to face him.

"We can't do anything about what happened last time, can we?" Mimi asked.

Yamato looked up at her.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"I mean," she said as she returned to her seat. "It 'happened' right?"

Yamato sighed.

"It did…" he trailed off.

"What if I tell you that…" Mimi said, silently gathering up some courage to tell him something. "That…."

Yamato just watched her as she tried to tell him something.

"That what I said last night was true?" Mimi asked.

Yamato looked away.

"'What if'? You mean if ever it happens or what you said last night was true?" Yamato asked, as if he was clearing something.

Mimi sighed. She massaged her temples for her head was aching again.

"What?" Yamato asked.

Mimi looked straight at him.

"Yes, I like you, happy?" she said quickly, giving him an impatient look.

She looked away and frowned disapprovingly.

Why is Yamato so clueless?

Yamato smirked and motioned a laugh.

"Then I'll tell you how I really feel," he replied.

Mimi slowly tilted her head to look at him.

"What do you feel about…me?" Mimi asked awkwardly.

Yamato got up, put his cup and saucer in the sink and then turned to face her.

"When I get drunk, maybe," he said, winking at her.


Taichi fiddled with his car keys as he waited outside the computer shop for Kyoushiro.

Suddenly, a girl approached her.

"Excuse me, are you Taichi Yagami?" the girl asked.

Taichi grinned courteously. "Yep, why?"

The girl wore a pair of denim pedal pants, a red fitted blouse and a pair of strapped heels.

"Hi, I'm Sora," she introduced herself to him, smiling warmly.

"Sora…Takenouchi? You mean, you're Matt's ex-girlfriend?" Taichi asked in surprise.

"Yes," she responded politely.

Taichi stopped fiddling with his keys.

"How did you know me?" he asked.

Hikari appeared with TK. She was with shopping bags.

TK looked nervous but Hikari looked cheerful.

"Oniisan!" Kari greeted.

Taichi looked at TK.

TK looked at Tai.

He was silently telling him that something's not good.

"Oh so, you asked TK," Taichi said.

"Oniisan, she offered to shop for clothes so here!" Hikari cheerfully said, holding her shopping bags up.

"Thanks for treating my sis," Taichi said.

"Would you like to go to dinner some time?" Sora asked. "We have a lot to talk about."

Suddenly, Kyoushiro appeared.

"Kari, TK---and….?" Kyoushiro asked, looking at Tai then TK.

"He's Yamato-kun's ex-girlfriend," Kari said. "She's very kind."

"Oh…you're Sora, aren't you?" Kyoushiro asked, not sure of her answer.

"Yeah," she said.

"Sora-san, she's Kyoushiro Izumi," TK introduced.

"Nice to meet you," Sora said as she shook hands with him.

"So…Tai, would you like to go dinner with me tomorrow night?" Sora asked.

Taichi looked at TK.

TK shrugged.

"I guess," Tai answered.


Mimi and Yamato drove to their Grandpa's house.

When they arrived in the Tachikawa Residence, Yamato parked the car.

Mimi was wearing a white halter dress while Yamato was wearing a blue button-down polo and neat denim pants.

They got in.


"How are you two?" MR. Tachikawa asked.

Mimi continued eating while Yamato drank some water.

"H-hope y-you're d-doing fine," Grandpa said, still struggling.

Mimi smiled at him.

"Of course, we are, Grandpa," she said.

Seeing her Grandpa made her feel bad.

Knowing that he has only two years to live makes her feel sick.

"Mimi, how are you treating Yamato?" Mrs. Tachikawa asked.

"Well, Mimi's a good wife," Yamato said, grinning reassuringly at his mother-in-law.

"Did something happen already?" Mr. Tachikawa asked in a joke.

Mimi and Yamato quickly looked at each other.

"Oh, uh…well---"

"Papa, stop joking like that!" Mrs. Tachikawa nudged.

Grandpa laughed weakly.

Mimi smiled to herself.

Grandpa is doing well…that's what makes her feel at ease.


"You know, Tai," TK said, feeling troubled. "Sora's probably up to something."

The three of them were in a café.

"Did you inform your brother that Sora came back?" Kyoushiro asked.

"No," TK replied.

"Oh god," Taichi groaned.

"She asked you out for dinner?" TK asked.

"She said we have lots to talk about," he said.

"About Yamato obviously," Kyoushiro said.

"She looked pretty kind to me," Tai said.

TK sighed.

"You'll never know," TK said.


a/n : How was this chapter? I was really fascinated about the fact that people liked this fic. I really believe that it is better than my other fic. You'll be expecting more scenes involving Tai and Sora. I'm planning to experiment a bit about Sora's character. And there will be a possibility that Mimi will end up having a baby…I'm planning to end this in chapter 16 or 17…whatcha think?
