Chapter Seven
"So we're finally here in the pool!" said Mimi excited because of how wide the pool was. Behind her was Koushiro, who was already bored to his mind.
"That's nice…" he muttered rubbing the back of his neck and his eyes shifting to another area.
Mimi puffed her cheeks and walked over to Koushiro yanking his left ear. "Now listen well Koushiro!"
Koushiro winced and did not move because he knew how much pain it would cause. He decided to hear Mimi's speech and not talk while she was talking. That would be disrespecting her and he surely did not want to disrespect Mimi at all time.
"Y-Yes Mimi-chan?"
"Hikari and Wallace are having a good time and I will no-"
"Hello!" said another voice speaking English.
Mimi stopped her speech and looked over at a girl with a one light purple piece bathing suit. Her hair was short light brown and her eyes were milky chocolate. She was waving at both Mimi and Koushiro, who were noticing her existence. Mimi cleared her throat and lets go of Koushiro's ear. Meanwhile Koushiro was rubbing his poor ear and watched the girl.
"Hi! May I help you?" said Mimi in perfect English that surpassed Koushiro's.
"Oh! Well…I-I was…"the girl suddenly blushed and looked down at her feet, finding them more interesting. Slowly her eyes looked at Koushiro and she turned beat red. Koushiro cocked his head to the left, not understanding why the girl was turning a different color.
Mimi frowned already not liking the girl. She knew how American girls could be when a foreign guy comes to their school or even their area that they lived in. Mimi forced a smile and cleared her throat. "Well? What is it?"
"I-I was wondering if your friend w-would like to have a drink…" she muttered, mentally hitting herself for saying such weird thing.
"OK," said Koushiro not giving a second thought. Mimi and the girl looked at him in surprise, however Mimi's expression was more of a 'what the hell?!' face.
In Japanese Mimi began to hiss at him. "What are you doing?"
Also in his Japanese language he responded. "All she wants was to give me a drink no?"
"You idiot! She's asking for a date!" almost yelled Mimi wanting to rip Koushiro's head.
"Uh-huh…sure, well I'll be back."
With that Koushiro and the girl left a dumbstruck Mimi at the pool. It took Mimi a few minutes to regain herself. Shaking her head twice she noticed that Wallace and Hikari were to her right looking at her weird.
"What's wrong?" asked Hikari holding a drink. Wallace was licking his mint ice cream that he had ordered from the food shack near the pool. It would be an excuse for him not to swim, since he would wait thirty minutes before getting into the pool.
"That Koushiro! He just went with an American girl!" hissed Mimi in Japanese so that the people around her wouldn't know what she was talking about her.
Wallace raised an eyebrow. "So?"
"So?! She seems like a bimbo! She just came walking in here and took him away!" said Mimi crossing her arms glaring at the girl who was right now with Koushiro by his side. Both of them were laughing and getting a bit too friendly.
"I don't like her," hissed Mimi clutching her teeth together.
Wallace sighed. "Let him have some fun, besides he needs a girl with him right now."
Hikari stood silent and watched Koushiro and the girl together laughing. "Yeah."
"Eeh? Hikari-chan? You agree?" asked Mimi frowning.
'No…I don't agree with this…' she thought bitterly. "He seems bored almost all the time, let him have some fun."
Mimi pouted and huffed. "Fine…then let us have some fun then!"
The two younger teens nodded and left to get inside the pool all except Wallace who had to wait thirty minutes before he could go swimming. Mimi was teaching Hikari how to swim, while Wallace was amusing himself. Finally Koushiro and the American girl came towards them. Mimi stopped teaching Hikari how to swim, which was bad because now Hikari was almost drowning.
"My…if it isn't Koushiro-san…"
Koushiro winced at the '-san' part. He knew Mimi was mad at him for ditching her, but the girl next to him was being so kind to him. He noticed Hikari clutching to the bars trying hard not to drown herself. He smiled at her effort to swim, he remembered that Taichi, Hikari, and himself went to the pool that was near their elementary school and were teaching Hikari how to doggy paddle. She of course was afraid to drown, so Taichi began to call her 'neko' almost all week after the little incident that happened to her at the pool.
"Neh…Hikari-neko trying hard to swim?" he teased her in Japanese. Hikari blushed and hid her face under the water. Koushiro chuckled at her motions and decided not to tease her anymore.
"I-Izumi…?" questioned his new friend who was next to him.
Koushiro blinked and smiled. "Ah, this is Yoshida Kazumi, she doesn't know any Japanese but her father is Japanese and her mother is American."
Mimi frowned and looked away from the girl. Wallace waved at Kazumi and Hikari just stared at the brunette girl.
"Hello…" she said in English waving at Hikari, her smile was so sincere. "O-Oh wait…umm…?"
Kazumi looked at Koushiro pleadingly. Koushrio chuckled and nodded.
"Hikari, Yoshida-san says hello to you," said Koushiro giving her a hand to get out of the water. Once she did Wallace gave her a towel, he also did the same for Mimi.
"Hello," said Hikari in English.
Kazumi smiled brightly at her and took her hand. "It's so nice to meet you…umm…?"
"Yanagi…H-Hikari," she whispered still starring at the girl in front of her.
"Ah, so you know the basics of English that's good," Kazumi said trying to be friendly to the younger girl. Hikari took sometime to answer her question, Wallace had been teaching her the very basics of English, but it was still not getting better.
"Yoshida-san wanted to hang out with us if that's alright with you three?" asked Koushiro.
Mimi stubbornly looked away and shrugged. "I really don't care."
"I don't mind at all, the more the merrier," Wallace grinned at Koushiro and Kazumi.
Hikari shrugged looking away from the girls chocolate milk eyes. All she wanted to do right now was go home and sleep, something was bothering her and she wanted to know what it was. Her eyes glanced up at Kazumi who was talking to Koushiro about something she didn't understand. Hikari didn't like the feeling that she was having right now, wasn't she supposed to have a good time with Wallace instead of worrying what Koushiro and Kazumi were talking about?
"Wa-Wallace…" whispered Hikari trying to get the attention from her boyfriend.
The blond and the others looked back at Hikari.
"Kari-chan?" questioned Wallace going by her side.
"I don't feel so well…" she whispered to him so that nobody else would hear her. Wallace's bright blue eyes looked worried and his head nodded.
"I'll get you back home, is that better?"
Hikari shook her head up and down, telling him is was a good idea. Mimi and Koushiro's eyes met with full of worry. Kazumi also looked worried hoping that nothing wrong had happened to Hikari. The group bid their fair well to Kazumi, but Kazumi had asked Wallace where he had lived to visit Hikari so that she could give her something when she feels better. The group walked all the way where the changing room was. When they were done changing they went to the trunk and Wallace drove his friends back to his home.
Wallace turned off the engine and looked back at Hikari who was in the back seat with Mimi. "Kari-chan…feeling better?"
Hikari nodded holding her stomach. On the way Mimi was rubbing her back trying to relax her. The teenagers got out of the car and entered the house.
"I'll take Hikari to her room," Mimi took Hikari's arm. "You two go make dinner or order a pizza."
Mimi dragged Hikari to her pink palace room, which for the mean time belonged to Mimi. Mimi closed the door and told Hikari to sit down.
"Your right you don't look so good," muttered Mimi looking at the flushed face of Hikari's. Mimi sighed and put her hand on Hikari's forehead. It was burning!
"Wow…second day in America and you're getting sick!" exclaimed the holder of Sincerity.
"N-Not really…"
"Don't lie to me Hikari; I can see it with my own eyes!"
"I'm fine Mimi-chan…"
Mimi again sighed and crossed her arms looking at the poor Yanagi sitting on her pink bed. "I wish Sora was here…she would know what to do…even in the digital world…even Taichi…"
Mimi blushed and looked away from Taichi's little sister, who was questioning her by raising her eyebrow.
"What about my brother Mimi?"
"N-Nothing…Ah! I think I hear Wallace call my name! Well better go! You should sleep and rest okay? Okay well take care! I'll come back in a few minutes!"
With that Mimi shut the door, leaving the poor youngest Yanagi alone in the pink bedroom palace. Hikari sighed and smiled.
"I knew she liked him."
Hikari giggled and laid down trying to sleep.
