Chapter Eight
Mimi came downstairs with a worried look on her face. Koushiro was on the desk using his laptop and Terrirormon on top of his head annoying him. Wallace was on the kitchen ordering a Hawaiian and pepperoni pizza. Koushiro looked up at Mimi, making the small poor digimon fall out of his head.
"Hey!" it cried.
"Mimi-san…is Hikari-chan alright?" questioned Koushiro standing up. After Mimi had taken Hikari out of the living room to take her to her room, he remembered that one day in the Digital World where Hikari felt ill. He felt scared; it was his responsibility to make sure that she was alright. Taichi wasn't here at the mean time, so he had to look out for her.
Mimi looked back at Koushiro giving him a disapproved face. "Just because it's your responsibly to take care of her doesn't mean you should treat her like that only…"
Koushiro frowned and was about to reply, but stopped himself when Wallace came. Terriormon stood up and ran to Wallace. Complaining that Koushiro had threw him off his head. Wallace chuckled at his digimon.
"The pizza will be coming in twenty minutes…anyway, how's Kari?" asked Wallace putting down Terriormon on the floor. He began to complain.
Mimi sighed and rubbed her elbows nervously. "She just has a fever, not too big though. All she needs is rest for today."
Koushiro stood silent while Wallace nodded understanding. Mimi also stood silent while watching Koushiro. She knew something he didn't know. Mimi sighed and shrugged her shoulders. "Well we can't do anything right now, except let her rest. That's about it."
"Yeah…"sighed Wallace. "What now though?"
Mimi grinned and ran to the television screen and began digging inside the cabinet filled with movies. She pulled out a couple of dozen DVD's or tapes and showed it to the boys. "Scary movies of course! Pizza plus scary movies will equal the fun!"
Wallace began to think and agreed with the idea. Koushiro however disagreed.
"I think I'll go to my room and study."
Mimi frowned. "Study for what? Hmmm?"
"There's a biology test when I get back. Also emailing Taichi about Hikari-chan's con-"
Koushiro was now being strangled by Mimi. Wallace watched in surprise, Mimi was one tough and rough girl. Mimi didn't let go until she felt the need to stop strangling Koushiro with her arm. Fighting for breath, Koushiro wondered what he had done wrong.
"M-Mimi-san...!!"
"Don't. You. Dare. Tell. Taichi." was her strong words.
Wallace gulped and Terriormon watched in horror. Finally Mimi had let go of Koushiro letting the poor boy get free air. Mimi panted and wondered why she did such thing. Oh right, he was going to tell Taichi about Hikari's condition. That would be bad for both Koushiro and Hikari, that is if Taichi knew about it. Mimi put her hands on her hips and glared.
"Koushiro! Do you know how bad this would be if Taichi knew about Hikari's condition?!" yelled Mimi.
The two boys and the digimon backed away. They were scared of the girl right in front of them. Who knows what moves she has hidden inside. Koushiro just stood silent as he kept staring at the new worried Mimi. Gulping he wanted to change his decision of going to America. Why had he said yes to Hikari? Doom was coming towards him.

Hikari sighed as she laid on her bed, her thinking of the new girl with Kourshiro had given her a slight headache. The young girl sat up and looked outside the window that showed many fields of flowers. Smiling, she gave in a sigh. Who was she to get jealous of some American girl who was with Koushiro? Frowning she began to think of that small phrase.
'Wait, I'm jealous?' she thought surprised a the idea.
Hikari was never really spoiled in the family, she was an understandable child. However, she never gave in a thought that she would ever get jealous. Both her parents treated Taichi and herself equally, of course there was this one problem when Hikari began to grow as more womanly, there were more certain rules for her only. Biting her lip, she stood up from the bed and walked around the room. She had a secret American boyfriend, Wallace. So how? How can she be jealous of Kazumi?
Stopping right in front of the window, she had seen how those yellow flowers began to swoon over and follow the rhythm of the wind. It gave her a sense of feeling that things would turn out right. Now frowning again, she walked towards the door. She needed to get a hold of Miyako, she would most likely guide her how to get rid of the problems. Twisting the knob she opened the door and saw a certain red-head about to enter another room.
Not being able to do anything at all she stood frozen, either by surprise or shock.
The other figure also stopped and turned around looking at a gazed Hikari. "Hikari?"
"…"
Now worried, Koushiro turned his whole body so he could face her. "Hikari, are you alright?"
Not knowing what to do, she felt a sudden heat coming to her cheeks. She gave a small sound like and 'eep' then backing away she stepped back inside the door and fling the door to close right in front of Koushiro. Outside was a very confused computer boy.
'W-Why?!' her mind cried, wanting to know answers.

"So that's what happened…" sighed Taichi telling everything to Iori.
Iori sat on his couch sipping his tea that he had made. Not long after Taichi had a dramatic moment of the wall and the older brunette, Iori had decided to talk to old leader at his house, where there would be tea and cookies that his mother had brought last night. Taichi agreed and now here they were, talking about the big secret that Taichi had hidden from everybody. There stood Taichi on the other couch facing Iori, this huge secret was killing him slowly.
"What do I do…" he whined taking a cookie from the tray.
Putting down the cup filled with tea, Iori began to see the older digidestined eye to eye. "Hikari-san is like an older sister role model for me since I first met her. I know her choices are not to be selfish or rude to just leave her house to go to America for at least one week with Wallace. I think the best choice of her was to take Koushiro-san as her guardian, however, I also think it would be a good choice for you to also go to America so that your parents wouldn't get to suspicious."
"But soccer practices are he-"
"If you care and love your sister you would go," insisted Iori with eyes like stone.
Taichi stared at the younger digidestine, he was amazed at the determination that the small boy had. Looking down Taichi began to think, he was always there for Hikari at all times. Why couldn't he just go and protect his younger sibling? Soccer practices could probably be made up. Smiling he looked at Iori, who was blinking his eyes confused.
"Thank's Iori."
"You're very welcome."
Taichi stood up and thanked his for the advice and hospitality. Iori once again said it was no problem and stood at the door way bidding a fair well to Taichi. Once Taichi left, Iori stood at the front door, wondering why people come to him for advices. He was just a kid for the love of kami. Almost about to close the door Takeru was walking around the hall.
"Hey Iori."
Iori stopped and noticed his DNA partner. "Hello."
"Did I just see Taichi leave your apartment?" he asked wondering what the old leader would be doing here at Iori's house.
Iori nodded and decided not to tell Takeru about the talk that both Taich and him had just had. He felt as if he was betraying Takeru, but it was for the best. "He just needed a place to stay for awhile."
Takeru blinked his blue eyes. "He got kicked out of his house?"
"That's what I thought."
"Man, he must have confessed something like being gay or having a child at his age," said Takeru giving in a nervous grin.
"That too."
