Notes: So, here's chapter 3. Thank you for your kind reviews and alerts. I really enjoy writing this story and I'm glad that you liked it so far. I hope chapter 3 wont dissapoint you. I'm still thinking on a name for Matt's gang. It need to be something cool, catchy and related to digimon series and Matt's character. Please share your ideas if you think of one. I had a beta help with my first two chapters, but not this chapter. I finished chapter 3 few days ago and sent it to my beta as soon as I finished with it, but I haven't got any news from her/him, might be busy. So, I decided to post my original chapter 3 first, because I will be busy starting next week. Don't worry though, I'm still working on chapter 4 and almost done with it, I'll post it once I've got time sometime next week. I might need another beta if you don't think my previous beta-ed chapters have good grammar. Remember to read Mimi's little trivia down the bottom.
Well, I hope you'll enjoy this chapter as much as you did on the first two. Happy reading :)
Chapter 3
After they finished planning their short kidnapping operation, Matt and Tai picked out their weapons that of course consisted of rocket launchers. Sora decided to joined them on their quick operation, while this left Koushiro to stay at the crib. As soon as they were ready, the three of them drove together to Tachikawa Mimi's private mansion.
Tai was sitting in the passenger seat next to Matt, who was driving and Sora was settling behind Matt, crossing her legs like she usually does whenever she sat. After one minute of silence in the car, Tai began changing the radio station every five seconds, until Matt decided to break the silence, "Sora, you know you don't have to come along."
"Well, the two of you might get yourselves in trouble." Sora said with a serious tone,"You need someone sane with you and.."
"Dont worry mom, we are not babies, we dont need you to constantly taking care of us." teased Tai as he turned his head to find Sora's glare.
"Yeah, the last time I left you two to handle things without me, you almost died."
"Well, the last time we had handled things without you.." Tai quoted, "..was' yesterday'. And it was a success."
"Whatever, you know I wasn't talking about yesterday, I was talking about what happened two years ago."
"Okay I admit. Two years ago, Matt almost lost his left arm and I was in a coma for five months, and if it wasn't for you, we could have died. But, does it ever occur to you that if you did come along with us, you could have died..well.. along with us?" Tai pressed.
"Well, I rather die with you guys than being left alone!" cried Sora, sounded angry.
Silence.
"Besides, do you even know what other kind of security systems that this mansion have?"
"What other security systems? I thought there were only ninja guards?" asked Matt, sounded puzzled.
"There you go." Sora pointed out, "That's what happens when you dont listen to me and cut me off in the middle of the presentation we had earlier today."
Tai groaned while Matt sighed deeply, "Okay, we are so very sorry Ms Takenouchi. Now, can you please tell us?" said Tai sounded completely stressed out.
"I'll tell, only if you two promise to listen until I finished with what I have to say?"
"Yes maam..." the two men groaned in unison.
Sora let out a short sigh, "Well, as you both know... that place is swarming with guards twenty-four seven. Some of them are hidden outside and around the mansion. And there will also be an electric gate and fences, not only it has electricity currents, they are very strong, not even your rocket launcher could destroy them."
"Okay..." Matt trailed off, "That is a whole new information...How do we get in?"
"Relax, I've got everything covered. Just leave the gate to me. I've got just the thing." said Sora confidently, smirking, "What could you do without me?" she sang.
Tai snorted, "Ya, ya, we'll die before we would be able to get in, big fucking deal. Anything else?"
"Well, Kou-chan will handle the rest of the security system for you. All you need to know is the girl's position. Kou-chan will..."
"Huh, we dont need to know that from him! We'll just split up and check each room. Waste more time, yes, but we'll still get the girl." Tai sounded jealous. He really despises the overly friendly nickname Sora gave to that Mr brainy pants. Yagami Taichi will never lose against a small man with his little computer. He does not need technology to help him locate everything.
"Oh really? If I'm not mistaken, you guys mentioned 'faster' this afternoon. Wouldn't it be faster if you know where she is. The mansion is massive. It's five times our penthouse."
"She's right Tai."
"You are with her on this?"
Ignoring Tai, Matt asked Sora, "So, how do we locate her?"
"Kou-chan asked me to turn on this weird device he gave me once we get inside the mansion. It's suppose to help him locate her." said Sora while looking at the cubical device she just took out from her satchel, "He'll give you a call once he know her position."
"I like the guy, but seriously, he's creeping me out a little. I hope he's not bugging our bedrooms." said Matt.
"Now that you have put that in my mind, remind me to have my room check when we get back."
Tai snorted,"Well I think he's way beyond weird. He's like some kind of a robot, like that C-3PO from Star Wars, only difference is, he's short and with flesh and blood and with a lappy companion." he mouthed the last two words with mock.
"Hey, dont start hating because he's smart." Sora pointed out."and you are not making any sense."
"I'm not jealous."
"Who said jealous? You said it yourself."
"No I dont! You sa..."
Before Tai could finish, Matt groaned, "Flirt later. We're almost there, so prepare yourselves."
Matt and Tai had their rocket launchers hung across their back and each have AK47 smg on one hand. Sora strapped her compact weapon satchel, across her upper body, dual wielding her two favorite handguns.
The trio made their way towards the front gate and before they could get any closer, Sora stopped Matt and Tai, "Stay back."
"What are you going to do to the gate?" asked Tai."Why are we standing so far?"
Sora unzipped her satchel and took out a weird looking device that looked like a combination of a handgun and an old model of a security camera.
"What the hell is that? Where did you get that?"
Sora winked at the two, "I stole this from the armory. Just stay down."
"A-armory?" Tai muttered. "Wha.."
Beep. Beep. Beep.
The weapon made beeping sounds as Sora held onto its trigger for a few seconds. A red dot light was pointing directly in the middle of the tall ebony gate. After a few seconds, they heard sounds that sounded like jets approaching nearer and nearer from the sky. "Huh?" Matt and Tai looked up from where the sound was heard.
A cluster of bomb were raining down from the sky.
"Holy shit!" Matt and Tai screamed in unison as they both ran back further, pulling Sora with them for cover.
As the bombs reached the ground, loud sounds of explosions made the three of them covered their ears while cowering behind their car (which they parked so far away from the mansion.). After the explosion ended, Matt quickly stood up and saw what had become of the strong gate. It was completely destroyed along with the ashpalt around.
Matt whistled " Nice! I need one of those."
"I have a batch of them back in Tokyo. Got one of the boys delivered one for me this morning."
"That was gold!" said Tai, face filled with excitement. "Nice one Sor!"
"Why thank you Tai. It's been so long since the last time you gave me a compliment."
"No time for chit chat guys. Time to move." Matt reminded his mates.
The three of them ran past the gate as the guards came swarming out from every side of the mansion.
15 minutes ago. (in Tachikawa Mimi's private mansion)
It's been a long day, she sighed, throwing herself on her king sized bed.
The top quarter of her bed was filled with stuffed animals, all sitting in a group at the back of her 4 (different sizes and colours) pillows. She tilted her head a little to the upper left and caught the sight of her favorite stuffed animal, Mr Kero.
"Good evening Mr Kero, how are you today?" she asked the fuzzy green frog.
Mr Kero just sat there, quiet, with a wide smile on his face.
Grow up Mimi! Mr Kero is just a stuffed animal. She told herself.
Who was she kidding? She had been telling herself that for the past ten years and she still talk to him. Sometimes, that one sided conversation could get a little too far, one example, Mimi would cry at some point of her confession to Mr Kero.
Mimi admited, as a 20 year old, she is extremely childish.
Proves and facts:
1. Still collects stuffed animals (leads to no 2)
2. talking (getting emotional) to/with her stuffed animals (always prefered Mr Kero)
3. Disney princess movies obsession (relate to no 4 & 5)
4. waiting for her prince charming.
5. waiting for her (first )true love's kiss.
Number 4 and 5 were merely dreams. She believed they'll happen, but was beginning to lose fate.
She sighed.
She rarely talks to guys, because her daddy never allowed her to talked much to them. The only few man she was allowed to talk to (for more than just a minute) were her own daddy, gay photographer and bodyguards. Dont get her started with her bodyguards. They were like the fuzzy-less cousins of her stuffed animals. She tried talking to them and all she got was their silence. She asked them their names. Silence. It was like they were trained to stay silent. She never gave up talking to them though.
The point is, it was all her daddy's fault. True, she gets whatever she wants, but not all. She wanted to meet more people, meet some guys, have a boyfriend like everybody else and spend some time with her daddy, like old times.
Tachikawa Keisuke hasn't been around his daughter much since his wife passed away 10 years ago. The last time Mimi saw him was a week ago and they would communicate through phone calls most of the time.
She missed her daddy. Her old daddy.
She considered herself a lonely girl. Without Miyako who had been her best friend for 15 years, her life would be completely miserable.
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. (phone vibrate)
It was her phone.
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. (phone vibrate)
In her bag.
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. (phone vibrate)
Bag was on the floor.
Mimi groaned and lazily got up from her bed.
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. (phone vibrate)
She quickly grabbed her bag up and started digging for her phone.
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. (phone vibrate)
Got it.
Speaking of the devil...
"Hai Miyako-chan..."
"Hey Mimi-chan! Do you want to go karaoke tomorrow?"
That's Miyako for you. Never fails to entertain Mimi's everyday (boring) life.
"Sure!" Mimi smiled broadly. She loved karaoke. "I'll cancel my cooking class tomorrow and be over your house at around 11. We could have lunch together."
"That'd be great!"
"By the way, remember to show me Matt's live size posters you texted me about!"
Like any other girl (or young lady in her case), she had crushes on several good looking, famous singers and actors. One example, Matt, her new idol, whom she had been obsessed with for almost a year now. A record. Even though he's a criminal celebrity, she couldn't get enough of him. To Mimi he is the coolest idol she had ever worshipped. He sings beautifully, he is so badass, his smile is so gorgeous, his eyes were... Oh God! everything about him makes Mimi breathless.
"Of course! Just promise you wont hug my poster to crumple, again." said Miyako with a serious tone on the other line.
Hugging posters was one of Mimi's ridiculous hobby.
"I wont. I promise." Mimi stuck out her tongue and giggled, "So, how does he look? Hot?"
"Hmm... I'm not telling you..."Miyako trailed off, "... that he looks much hotter in live posters than he did in regular posters."
Mimi squealed.
Miyako laughed at Mimi's fan girl reaction on the other line, she just love to tempt Mimi. "Dont worry hun. You'll get to see it tomorrow. Hey, I gotta go...My ma is asking for me"
"Kay...See you tomorrow."
"See ya...Bye!" Miyako ended the call.
With a small smile, Mimi put down her phone on her bed. "Time for a bath." she danced her way to her bathroom to find that her maid had prepared her, her usual warm bath. Her eyes then settled upon the bathroom remote control sitting next to the white marble sink.
Pressing the play button, her favorite music began to play.
Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want...
She danced with the beat as she pressed the lock button on the remote to lock the bathroom door. Mimi likes to lock her bathroom door for a bit of privacy, which was the only time she gets to have her own time without anyone bugging her, but then again she still gets people bugging her.
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want...
She slowly stripped off her yellow sun dress as she kept dancing.
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want...
Her white frilly bra and panties followed her dress.
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want...
"So tell me what you want, what you really, really want." She sang along with the song, as she danced her way to her mega marble bathtub, leaving her dress and underwear on the floor.
I wanna, ha, I wanna, ha, I wanna, ha, I wanna, ha.
"I wanna, ha, I wanna, ha, I wanna, ha, I wanna, ha." She stepped into the tub.
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah...
"I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah..." not knowing what would happen in the next five seconds outside her mansion, Mimi kept singing while enjoying her warm bath.
As expected, the rocket launchers were very useful.
"That was easy." said Matt as he shoot the big marble entrance door of the mansion with his rocket launcher. "Those professional guards stand no chance against my baby."
Sora just shook her head and muttered, "Show off."
"I haven't had this much fun in years!" Tai laughed as he launched his rocket towards the remaining guards that were running towards them from the other side of the garden.
The sounds of explosives and alarms were blinding their ears.
"Second that!" Matt projected his voice louder.
"Is this a mansion or a fortress?" said Sora loudly, "This many guards to protect a single girl..." she shot two guards with her pistols.
"I'll go with 'or'!" Tai yelled back."Keisuke sure treats her daughter like a princess!"
Once they got inside, Sora quickly took out Koushirou's cubical device and pressed the 'on' button. "Now we'll just have to wait for the call..."
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. (Matt's phone vibrated)
With a swift, Matt move his hand up his right ear and pressed the 'on' button on his bluetooth headset, "Where is she?" he immediately asked, knowing it was Koushirou on the other line.
"Well..."
"Well what?"
"She's on the second floor..." Koushirou trailed off.
"She's upstairs." Matt told Tai and Sora, and the two nodded."And? Which one is her room? Detail please!" he pressed as the three of them ran up the marble stairs that sat in the middle of the huge foyer.
"Run along the corridor, turn left and her room is the one on the right side."
The three followed Koushirou's instructions while shooting several guards. Three of them were carrying katanas and they were dodging their bullets.
"Shit!" Matt cursed. "These guys are fast!"
"The corridor is too cramped! You cant use your rocket launchers on them, you'll blow us all!" Sora pointed out. "Just keep running!"
They kept running and shooting,until they found the bedroom door was wide open. The three rushed in, while Tai and Sora had their backs on Matt's, Matt scanned the super girly, pink smelling room for any sign of the girl. But she was no where to be seen. There were only two panicked looking guards, the sounds of loud music and someone singing along it, these sounds were coming from another room.
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends...
"If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends" it was a female voice.
Silence.
Everyone were dumbfounded, even the guards.
Make it last forever, friendship never ends...
"Make it last forever, friendship never ends!" she kept singing.
"Okay..." Matt begin, "What the hell, Izumi? Where's the girl?"
Koushirou sighed, "That's her. She's in the bathroom."
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give
"If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give..na..na.."
"In the bathtub."
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is...
"Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is.."
"Well..singing." he finished.
So, here's a story from A to Z
"So, here's a story from A to Z..."
"Oh God!" Matt cursed.
You wanna get with me...
"You wanna get with me..."
"Just grab her Matt! You are used to naked chicks. What's the big deal?"Tai pointed out,"You know I'll be very willing to help you carry her."He winked.
... V doesn't come for free, she's a real lady...
"...V doesn't come for free, she's real lady..."
"Go to hell Tai! This is not the time to be a pervert." Sora smacked his head with her handgun,
...you'll see.
"...you'll see."
"Ouch!" cried Tai, rubbing his head.
Slam your body down and wind it all around
"Slam your body down and wind it all around."
"I'm going in." informed Matt, he quickly shot the two guards standing before him.
...-our body down and wind it all around..
"...-our body down and wind it all around."
The other guards began to attack. Tai and Sora quickly covered Matt, who was trying to open the locked automatic door.
...last forever, friendship never ends..
"...last forever, friendship never ends."
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give..
"If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give.."
The door was not opening.
"Izumi! Is there any way you can unlock the door?" he asked Koushirou who was still on the other line.
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is...
"Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is..."
"Give me two seconds." said Koushirou.
Few minutes earlier. (5 seconds before the gate was destroyed)
If you want my future, forget my past
"If you want my future, forget my past."
If you wanna get with me, better make it fast
"If you wanna get with me..."
She stopped singing when she thought she heard something that sounded like several explosions and felt a little shaking. Her music kept playing,
She heard nothing and the shaking had stopped. Hmm..just my imagination, she shrugged at her own thought and started singing again.
Now don't go wasting my precious time...
"Now don't go wasting my precious time..." she grabbed her floral fragranced shampoo.
Get your act together we could just fine.
"Get your act together we could be just fine," she pumped the shampoo onto her hand.
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
"I'll te.." there were rushed knocking on her bathroom door.
"I dont need anything else!" Mimi informed while looking at the thick ceramic door.
Mimi assumed it was one of her maids. One of them sometimes knocked on Mimi's door to make sure she needs anything else.
Another rushed knocking.
"Go away! I need my privacy." She yelled louder and turned up the volume of the music, ignoring whatever or whoever was bugging her from the outside. Good thing this bathroom was sound proof, disturbance from the outside could never be heard in here.
...really wanna zigazig ah.
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends
"If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends..." she started singing again, louder this time (as the music was louder), resuming her bath, until the next chorus played again.
She was getting more and more into the song and didn't even realize that someone had unlocked her bathroom door until she sensed his presence. She turned her head towards the door and layed her eyes on the one person she thought she would never see with her own eyes. It was Matt. Matt, the criminal celebrity. The famous singer. Her gorgeous idol. And there he was standing right there in her own house, by the bathroom door, sweating, and was looking at her.
He looked so real.
Was this a reality? Or was this just a dream? She couldn't tell.
Did she knocked herself unconcious? If yes, then she doesn't want to woke up. Ever.
She stopped singing once she noticed him. She did not scream, however, she just sat there in her tub, still naked, gawking and seemed like she was lost in her thoughts.
She was staring at him with her bright caramel eyes.
Matt lost himself the moment he walked in on her. She was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Matt!" Tai yelled, bringing him back to reality, "Hurry the fuck up man!"
"A-alright!" he let out a soft sighed and hurriedly made his way towards Mimi who was still naked and was suddenly smiling at him. Jesus! His heart was flopping.
"Okay..." he muttered breathlessly as he shut his eyes and bend down to carry the girl up in bridal style.
He thought shutting his eyes will prevent him from getting turned on, but she could still feel her. She was wet, soft, smelled so good... but damn it! He doesn't have time for an erection.
He fluttered his eyes open, but just a little. The girl was still smiling at him and was making herself comfortable in his arms. Weird. This was not how kidnapping was suppose to be like. When Izumi told him about 'easy', Matt did not think it would be this 'easy'.
He flinched when he heard the sound of a helicopter.
"Time to go Matt! The chopper is here!" said Sora. "It's right outside this room's balcony. We'll be right behind you!"
"Alright!" Matt replied, grabbing a towel to cover Mimi then quickly ran out with her in his arms, and escaped the mansion with the chopper.
