A Life in New York
--
Long formed legs stretched up high. Her toes were wiggling as they had just been painted by light pink nail polish. She wore her casual clothes whenever she was home alone: pink night gown and a white bathrobe. Her son was at school and work had been cancelled this week. She currently had a small vacation break. She needed some time for herself to relax, and for once enjoy the mornings in New York City. She took a good look at the view that she never really noticed. Cars were roaming around while beeping each other, and people were walking hurriedly as they tried to make it to work. Her lips formed a grin. She didn't have to go to work today and she could finally spend some time with her son!
"Yippie!" she cried out loud as she forgot that she was painting her toe nails. "Finally! I want to have those cool mother and son bonding moments today!"
Her lips formed an even wider grin. "I'll take him shoe shopping!! I bet he'll love that! I mean what boy wouldn't want to go shoe shopping with their mother?"
Suddenly she realized the nail polish paint that was dropping on her feet, quickly she grabbed a paper towel, and tried her best to wipe of the paint. "Ah shoot! I got too excited…"
Once her toe nails were fashionably awesome, she took of her robe and went to her closet. She glanced at her outfits. "Hmm, what to wear for my sweet little Maiku."
It literally took the woman one hour to pick a simple one piece pink dress and a small white buttoned sweater. She smiled as she looked her self in the mirror. "Hmm… a little bit too cute."
She pulled her hair up in a ponytail, and smiled as she was showing some neck skin. "Cute and sexy."
Going back again to the wardrobe she glanced around looking for excellent shoes to match her clothes. She squealed as she picked up white high heels with a pink flower in the middle. Once putting them on, she winked at her self in the mirror. "I like, I like."
This person was none other than Tachikawa Mimi, the holder of purity, and had the title of daddy's little girl. She grabbed her coach purse and left the apartment building. She went to the elevator and searched for her keys. She frowned as she kept digging more around her bag. Just where did she--
"Found them!" she cried out loud as she began to hold up bunch of shiny metallic keys.
She literally speed walked (with high heels) to the parking lot that the apartment had. She found her black beetle car. It took her no less than five minutes to get in the car, and turn the engine on. Once she was ready to leave, she drove to the exit. She frowned as she had to wait for other cars to exit the parking lot, but it mattered not. She was going to surprise her son by picking him up.
She didn't drive fast like some crazy American, she drove just the perfect speed. She adjusted her hair a little and smiled as she was satisfied by the way she was looking. It took her about twenty minutes to stop in front of her sons school and parked her self in front of the building. She got out of the car and checked her digivice that she had on her purse. It was three minutes before school ended. Lips formed a smile, she was just in time to pick her little sweet heart up.
Waiting just outside the doors, she glanced at her digivice once again. Then began to wonder where she would take her precious child to shop once school ended. Trying to remember which store was selling the best fashion shoes for boys, she noticed that kids were now exiting out of school. Her eyes brighten as she saw her son walking down small steps. She furiously waved her hands out, so that her child would notice her. She looked silly, but she didn't care. She wanted to hug her cute honey haired baby boy and kiss his soft cheeks.
Getting her son's attention, he ran towards his mother and then jumped to embrace her. He smiled up at her and asked her why she was here in the first place. Usually he would take the school bus that would pick him up in the mornings and drop him off after school. He didn't really mind if he was picked up by his mother though. He actually felt happy by her waiting for him.
"I'm taking you to the store and get you new shoes!" said Mimi while giving him a kiss in the cheek.
The curly haired boy blushed. "Moooom! Stooop, not in front of my friends!"
Mimi looked back at the school entrance, and she could clearly see some of her son's friend snicker and giggled as they saw their little mom and son moment. She smiled down at her embarrassed Maiku, oh how she loved her child dearly.
"Fine, but you're going to get many more kisses from me once we go home."
The boy sighed and shrugged. There was no point in stopping his mom, she was going to do it no matter what. "Fine."
She patted her son's light hair. "Good, now get in the car and we'll go shopping."
"She looks so young to be a mother…"
"She's pretty much a hot mom…"
"Isn't she from 'Mimi's lovely cooking' show…?!"
Mimi ignored their whispers and their voices. It annoyed her to hell when people were talking behind her back, it didn't matter if the comments were positives or negatives. It was still awfully rude.
Her son entered the car and she did the same. Mimi started the car and drove off to the shopping areas that she loved to go. However, she glanced at her baby boy.
"Where would you like to go Maiku-kun?"
"Hmm … anywhere. I don't mind, but why am I getting new shoes? These are still pretty new mom."
Mimi took a good notice of his white shoes. She shrugged, "So? You'll look handsome with new shoes."
Maiku grinned at his mom. "You're spoiling me Ma."
"And you love that!"
He chuckled. "Yeah."
They stood silent as they reached for their destination. Mimi parked in the malls parking lot and the two Tachikawa's got out of the car. Mimi searched inside her purse and put on some sunglasses. She grinned at her son, "Pretty fashionable right?"
The boy rolled his eyes. "Yeah."
"Well then let's go!"
They took the elevator to go to the mall, and they soon met two very familiar faces. Maiku grinned as he saw the older boy he could call his best friend. "Daichi!"
Two maroon heads turned their heads to face the Tachikawa's. Mimi smiled at them and waved, while Maiku ran up to the young maroon head.
"Hey what's up Maiku?" grinned the boy Daichi, who looked just like his father. He adjusted his goggles that lay on top of his head. "Whatcha doin here?"
"Mom wanted me to get new shoes today," smiled the younger boy looking up at his role model. He felt the older boys hand mess his curly hair. "Hey!"
"Hahaha!"
The two adults chuckled at their kids as they began to tease each other. The maroon head turned to his good friend Mimi, who looked lovely today.
"Hey Mimi, didn't expect to see you here at the mall," he grinned putting his hands behind his back.
"Well Daisuke, I am a woman, and as a woman, I must shop."
"For you or for Maiku?"
Mimi blushed. "For both!"
Motomiya Daisuke laughed. "Ahaha; got you!"
"Well I personally don't find it funny at all!" huffed the light honey brown haired woman. She crossed her arms. "And why are you here?"
Daisuke blinked and rubbed his chin. "I dunno, I don't want to ruin the surprise."
"Oh come one Daisuke I can keep a secret!" squealed Mimi getting closed to the older man who was actually younger than her by what? Three to two years?
"Oh yeah? Then why am I married to my wife?" muttered Daisuke giving a small glare at Mimi. Mimi chuckled and put her index finger on her lips.
"Haha; oops?"
"Yeah oops!"
"Oh c'mon Daisuke! You didn't mind!"
"Well… now that I remember you telling my wife that I love her back in my wonderful time of youth. I dunno if I should tell you why I'm here."
Mimi stuck out her tongue. "You'll tell me anyway."
Daisuke smiled. "Yeah, well actually…I'm going to Japan next week."
Mimi blinked her eyes. "Japan? But what about Sarah and Daichi?"
Daisuke looked over at his son who was messing around with Maiku. He gave a soft smile. "I'm taking him there so he can study in Odaiba."
"Eh! But why?" questioned the curious Mimi. She crossed her arms. "Does he even know Japanese?"
"Yeah, Sarah put him in some after school program where he could learn Japanese. Also, Sarah agreed since her mother is in the hospital back in California and needs to be attended for the time being. Daichi understands and is willing to change schools. He says he doesn't mind living in a new country," explained Daisuke grinning at his son as they made eye contact.
Mimi sighed and pouted. "Now I'm the only one left alone in America!"
Daisuke shrugged. "You can come back and live in Odaiba once again. Didn't your parents move back?"
"Yeah, but I haven't taught Maiku that much Japanese," muttered an ashamed Mimi.
So she was busy and she wanted to see her son everyday after her job was done. That's why she didn't put Maiku in a special program to learn a new language. She admitted she was selfish, but what would mother do to keep her child safe from that mans arms.
Anyway…
Daisuke sighed and shook his head. "You're being way over protective of him Mimi…"
Mimi gave him a glare. "I do not want him near my baby boy."
"I understand that, but it's not like he's been stalking you to get to Maiku."
"I still won't have it…I can't leave Maiku alone so much."
Daisuke put his hands on his pockets and carefully watched Mimi. "Well … your only choice is to go live with your parents."
She sighed. "…I don't want to."
Daisuke shrugged. "You're so stubborn Mimi."
"Yeah so?"
"Well you always have time to think about it. I don't think America is doing you any good right now," sighed Daisuke as he waved his hand for his son to notice. His son and Maiku then walked towards them and smiled.
"I'll miss you Uncle Daisuke," said the boy looking a bit worried. "I really will."
"Don't worry kid!" said Daisuke messing with his hair, like his son had done. "We'll be visiting you guys whenever we can."
Maiku gave a bright smile. "Okay!"
Mimi sighed, and finally the two families said goodbye to each other. Both were busy shopping and it was better to shop separately. Mimi and Maiku finally entered a shoe store, Footlocker. Maiku ran towards the kids shoe section and checked them out. Mimi casually walked behind his son. She sighed and thought about what Daisuke had said.
'You can come back and live in Odaiba once again.'
She really did want to move back to her home country. What she had told Daisuke about Maiku not knowing very well Japanese was a lie. He knew it, but he would say some English words here and there. She could go back home with Maiku, but she had her job here. Part of her childhood was here.
'But also back there too…' thought a bitter Mimi.
Mimi's lips frowned. Why couldn't she decided where to live? If she went back to Japan then perhaps Maiku would be safe from her ex-husbands grasp. She really did not want him near Micheal, not after what he had done to the poor boy. However; if he stayed here he would be with his friends living a normal life, yet there was this nagging feeling from Mimi that it wasn't healthy if the boy kept seeing his mother and father fighting for him.
'He's too young to understand.'
"Mom!"
Mimi looked up at her son, who grinned ear to ear. He had brought her to reality and she loved him for that.
"Yes darling?"
He pointed to some black and red Jordan shoes. "I kinda want those…"
She gave a bright Mimi smile she hadn't done in years. "Then let's get them."
--
"We'll miss you Daisuke, very much you know that right?" she whispered in his ear as she hugged her good friend. He was leaving America and who knew when he'll be back. Right now her son and her were at the airport with the Motomiya family.
"Don't worry Mimi, we'll keep in contact," he whispered back.
She could sense that he was grinning ear to ear, trying to keep this departure happy. She let go of Daisuke, paid full attention to Daichi, who was stopping the tears that wanted to run down his cheek. His mother, Motomiya Sarah, was whispering words of good luck and how she would miss him very much. The boy just nodded and kept a straight face. Maiku was with him, tears welling up. His good friend would be half around the world and he wouldn't see him for a very long time. It wasn't fair.
Mimi walked over to the young boy. She smiled softly and kissed his forehead. "Daichi, you'll love it there, so you don't have to worry about being teased."
Daichi slowly nodded. "Okay."
Mimi grinned. "You'll be the best soccer leader that there will be, once you enter the team."
At this the boys eyes watered up and tears fell down his tan cheeks. "Yeah! I promise aunty Mimi. I'll be the best."
"Good!"
Sarah, a brunette with green eyes, smiled at her good friend. "Thank you Mimi."
Mimi smirked and gave a peace sign. "No problem Sarah."
When they all said their good-byes, father and son finally lined up to go inside the check up line. Outside stood Mimi, Maiku, and Sarah. When their heads turned around, they all waved good-bye. Soon they were gone.
Sarah sighed. "Hopefully they'll get there safely…"
Mimi rested her hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure everything will be fine from now on."
"You're right…" she muttered, not helping to feel sad. Her husband and son were going half around the world! She couldn't help feeling worried. "Besides it's not like Daisuke to jump off the airplane once they reach to Japan just to get there fast."
Mimi sweat dropped. He probably could, do to his excitement.
"When will you be leaving to California aunty?" piped her son, looking curiously at the female Motomiya.
"Tomorrow morning."
"What?!" The two Tachikawa's yelled out causing for people to look at them strangely. The announcement was just too surprising.
"Yes, my mother needs someone by tomorrow, since my sister is going to Florida and visit her mother-in-law," responded Sarah sighing deeply. "They would still be here if my sister didn't have to visit that horrible mother-in-law she has…"
"Well then we wish you good luck Sarah," said Mimi giving her sincere smile. She pulled her hand out and waited for Sarah to shake it. "We'll miss you very much, you know that."
"Yes. Thank you Mimi, you're the best," she said shaking Mimi's hand.
The honey haired brunette chuckled. "I know!"
--
Silence.
There was nothing, but silence in the living room.
Her son was at school and she had been on her fourth day of vacation from work. This morning, she woke up her son with his favorite breakfast dish, chocolate chip pancakes. She also prepared his school back pack with the homework both had been doing last night. It was nice to help her son on his homework last night, it brought them even closer. She had also prepared his lunch for him to take and just in time, before the yellow bus came to pick him up, she kissed his cheek. Of course he whined, but Mimi knew that he didn't mind. He actually loved it deep inside.
When he had left, she had went to the shower. When her fifteen minute shower was done, she put on black tight shorts reaching her knees, and a yellow tank top underneath a pink one. She slipped on some slippers and walked down to her mail box. She knew that he phone bill was coming today and also a letter from work. When she got there she smiled at the mailman.
She greeted him a good morning and he did the same. He handed her a small box and her expected bills and letter. She thanked him and ran to her apartment. She should have worn something warmer. It was freezing! She never learned her lesson, but then again looking fashionable was very important to her. She had to look good no matter where she went, even when she's sick!
Throwing the package to the end of the couch she was sitting on, she ripped the letter and read it. When reading it she also checked her bills. She sweat dropped. 'I really need to stop calling on my cell phone so much…It went up one hundred dollars more!'
She needed to stop calling people on the phone whenever she was bored. She had to find a new hobby to do instead of calling people to hang out on her living room or ask how they were doing. She, especially, needed to stop calling long distance. Sure she loved her parents since they went back to Japan before she marriage, but she should at least call them for only an hour. Not on her cell phone, but on the home phone. The cell phone bill is rising like crazy.
She sighed as she grabbed the brown package and opened it. She carefully read them. Her eyes widen in fear as she read the next sentence.
Michael Washington would like to have some custody over his child Maiku Tachikawa, who has the right to decided if he would like to have spend time with his father. Please set a date with your lawyer to respond to this letter and make arrangements with Mr. Washington at this certain date. It will be mandatory.
Mimi's figure started to shake. She quickly read the other papers that were of no help. She did not notice the tears that were falling down. She threw the package that contained the letter and clutched her head. Why would Michael want such thing from his son? Wasn't he the one who had told him he was a mistake three years ago? Of course Maiku probably forgot about it because he was so young at that age. She couldn't forgive him though, not after what he had done to her and her son. She sobbed and thought of someway to escape or even get a good lawyer.
"This isn't fair… it's not fair!" she cried out loud to no one.
She thanked god that her son was not here to see her at this state. He would have been worried and call her doctor to make his mother feel better. It had happened once and she giggled at the thought. She loved her son and she didn't want him to see her ex-husband. She would not allow it.
Clutching her head tighter she tried to block all those negative thoughts about Michael actually winning his custody over his son. He doesn't deserve it and her dear friend, Sora, knew that. Quickly Mimi went to her room and searched through her drawers. Trying to find her phonebook where she kept all her business, family, and friends phone numbers. She yelped in glee as she found her pink star phonebook. She opened it and furiously checked for one phone number that she hadn't called in years. It wasn't her fault really, it was just that the person recently moved back to Japan.
Looking around for the phone she found it at the other side of the bed on top of a small table. She grabbed it and pressed the numbers that were written in the phonebook. She patiently waited for the person to pick up.
"Hello…? Ishida residence…" said a groggily female voice.
"Sora? Is that you?"
"Mimi?" questioned Sora from the other line. "Mimi… do you know what time it is in Japan….?"
"No, sorry if I woke you up, but it's about Michael."
She heard Sora trying to sit up from her bed. Finally she responded. "What happened?"
Mimi took a deep breath and calmed herself down. "He's making a mandatory meeting for his rights as a father. I mean really…he's not even a good father!"
"Oh Mimi…"
Mimi began to whimper, and once again tears slid down her cheeks. "H-He isn't what Maiku needs right now. Maiku…I understand that Maiku needs a male figure, but not that man! Not that man!"
"Mimi please calm down…"
"I don't know what to do Sora…I just don't…"
She heard her sigh. "Get a lawyer then…"
"That's my point Sora! He's going to buy my lawyer, just like last time with the divorce papers."
There was another sigh coming from the other line. "Then there's no helping it…"
Mimi blinked her tears out, had Sora already given up? Was she now in Michael's side now? What did she mean by there's no helping it? Did she want Michael to have a bond with Maiku?
"Sor--"
"Come back to Japan, Mimi," she said in a serious voice.
"W-What?" asked a surprised Mimi not understanding what her best friend was going with this.
"You need to come back to Japan in order for us to help you Mimi."
"What do you mean by that?"
Mimi knew that Sora was grinning now. "Don't you remember? We have our little friend here - well he's not little anymore - who would support any of us."
"Oh? Who?"
Mimi heard a clap from the other end. Had Ishida Sora slapped herself or something? The honey haired brunette wondered.
"Don't you remember Hida-kun?" asked Sora almost to the point she was yelling. "I mean c'mon Mimi! He was out friend in battle! He was a digidestine just like us!"
"Hida-kun…?" questioned Mimi, she then snapped her fingers. "Yes! The youngest Digidestine and very cute may I add."
"Yeah, I talked to him last week on how things were going on with him. He's a lawyer Mimi, he can help you. He won't be bought off from Michael, it would be pretty bold since Iori-kun can only think about justice. Mimi, if you come to Japan and ask him to help you… I know he would do it. Take this chance Mimi…come back home."
Mimi was dazed by all the information. If she told everything to Iori, he would believe her and help her get some rights for her husband not to see his son. Especially not living with him. Mimi smiled, there was hope. There was hope!
"Sora! I'll come, I'll come soon!"
"Good…now Mimi," Mimi patiently waited what Sora was about to say. "DON YOU EVER CALL WHEN IT'S MORNING OVERTHERE! IT'S NOT EVEN MORNING HERE!"
Click.
Mimi blinked at the outburst then gave a nervous giggle. "Ahaha… did I wake her up…?"
One of her kids must have caused her to be angry. That or it was really Mimi's fault. She didn't mind thought, right now on her mind was hope. Hope that finally Michael would back away and not buy her lawyer. Iori was an honorable boy when he was young, and she knew (not really) that he would always be like that.
Sighing, she picked herself up from the bed she had been sitting. She slowly walked to the living room in silence. All what was heard in the apartment was the footsteps from the floor above, and the ticking sound from the clock. Once being in the living room she stared at the package she had thrown a few minutes before.
She sighed and walked towards it. Picking it up, she began to reread it again. She then decided to arrange the date at a later month. The meeting was in four weeks, maybe moving it in two months can buy her sometime.
Her lips made a small sad smile. "I won't let you Michael, you hurt us too much to get what you want…"
She would fight for her son and for herself. There was just no way that Michael would win the fight. She was a mother and he was possibly the worst father. She didn't even know how they married. Oh yeah, that romantic day he had given her…
However things were different. She was older and wiser than her twenty something year old self. She would go to Japan an get hope.
No, she already had hope.
--
It took her four days to arrange everything. Four miserable, un-relaxing days. It wasn't very Mimi-ish thing to do. Usually she would want to have relaxing days; however, she was working hard these past for days and was looking forward towards her vacation in Japan.
She had told her manager that she needed two months break because of the custody papers that Michael had sent her. Of course her manager agreed, he didn't want Mimi to stress at work. It wouldn't be healthy, and besides he wanted the Mimi who was happy. Not that she wasn't before, but if the papers were in Mimi's side, then perhaps a happier Mimi would appear. Everyone at work of course agreed with her decision, they all liked Mimi and supported her with the decision to be at Japan for two months. She deserved that break.
Then she had to talk to the principle about Maiku going on an exchange program for a couple of weeks. She had talk to Sora about putting Maiku in a school that was in Odaiba, of course Sora helped her. She didn't want her Maiku to not study while being in Japan. She loved her son dearly, but she was a mother after all. Education always came first. Maiku of course did whine a bit, but he didn't seem to care when the next day came. He was actually excited to go to another country and study there. He was pretty lucky. Perhaps he was also going to see his 'Uncle Daisuke' and Daichi.
The third day Mimi had a fit for her to reschedule the meeting. They were giving her a hard time, but in the end of course she had won the battle. Her screams and arguments were too strong for them to fight back. Of course they had agreed and switched her appointment to the date she wanted it. Of course she was happy about this. Then after the whole screaming and yelling to the people, she got the plane tickets to fly the next day. She also phoned her parents that she was visiting, with their grandson. They were beyond excited and told them that they could live with them whenever they wanted.
Finally the last day was filled with shopping clothes for Maiku. Usually shopping was a relaxing thing to do for Mimi, but today was different. She had to pack the suitcases, bring what they needed and didn't need, and asked the trustworthy next door neighbor to water the plants. And then finally head to the airport and take the long hour plane to Japan. Oh how she hated those long hours sitting in one seat for almost about nine hours till the plane would land. It was horrible!
She sighed as she sat down in a McDonalds chair as her son went to order some food for himself. She was so tired, she had never walked store to store in so long, it almost felt when she was on her journey to the Digital World really long ago. She closed her eyes and inhaled the intoxicating smell of French fries. She missed Sora, Yamato, Takeru, Koushiro, Jyou, Hikari, and Taichi. She also missed Iori, Ken, and Miyako too.
Sure she missed Daisuke now, but he lived in New York City like her. She also talked to Miyako a lot since she was always taking tabs on how everyone was doing. That was Miyako for you. Sora and Yamato had left New York months ago and moved back to Japan, so she missed them dearly. She talked to Koushiro every now and then before her divorce with Michael, he had been a great help on giving her tips how to take care of Maiku. She had called Jyou whenever Maiku was sick and she didn't know what to do. Jyou being Jyou, explained to her what she should do and not do. Hikari, adorable Hikari, was always worried about her when she got her divorce. Mimi called her sometimes to ask her a few things since she was a kindergarten teacher, and was helped by the young Yagami. She hadn't talked to Iori, Taichi, Takeru, or Ken since the last meeting with them. Mimi wondered how they all were.
Opening her eyes she noticed blue ones staring at her.
She frowned. She did not want to see him.
The man with blond hair and blue eyes casually walked towards her. She resisted her self not to make a scene. Taking a quick glance at her son, she noticed that he was still waiting in that long line to order his food.
"Mimi…it's nice to see you."
Her eyes gave him an ice glare. "Sorry, can't say the same, Michael."
Michael sighed and rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Listen Mimi about Maiku…"
"You're not seeing him," was her sharp response.
"Mimi, I'm his father…"
"Like I said, you're not seeing him."
"Mimi…"
"What are you doing here anyway?" she sighed wanting to already leave the fast food place. "Aren't you shooting a famous billionaire movie Mr. Washington?"
"I came here to change the date for the appointment. It wasn't fair for you to just change it," he said in a serious tone.
"Well I'm sorry, I won't be able to make it in time."
"That's not fair Mimi, you're just buying time."
"All fair is in love and war isn't it?" she said crossing her arms.
Michael sighed. It was hard getting through Mimi's head. She was just so stubborn. "Mimi look, I have the right to see him when I want and --"
"It's a little to late for that, look I'll see you in two months. Good day," was what Mimi said as she picked eleven shopping bags filled with clothes. She walked away from her ex-husband and waited for her son to finally get his 'Happy Meal'.
The boy smiled at his mother. "I finally got it!"
Mimi smirked. "Let's go pack, okay?"
"Yeah!" said the excited third grader.
--
"Asa no kuu ji desu. Asa no kuu ji desu."
Maiku stared at the Japanese airport confused. Sure he had been studying some Japanese, but being in the actual country was pretty weird. The hiragana characters, the katakana ones, and Kanji were really hard to read. He wondered if all the characters were messy and sloppy like the ones in the store. He couldn't tell if he was reading Hi or Bi, the 'tenten' symbol was either too small or there was none. He sighed and carefully saw his mom exchange American money to Japanese money. He patiently waited with their luggage.
Mimi finally got back to her son and smiled at him. "We're taking the train to Tokyo then your grandparents are coming to pick us up.
"O-Okay…" he said nervously as some people began to stare at the mother and son.
They began to walk towards the train station that was connected to the airport. It was pretty strange, but he would probably get used to the weird stuff he was seeing.
Once they got on the train, they left their luggage where all the luggage's seemed to be at in this one storage place, and they sat on the comfortable seats. He took out his ds lite and began to play Tetris, while his mother seemed to look at her phone carefully.
"Mom … this place is weird…" he said in English as he saw an old couple passing by them and staring at him.
His mother kept staring at her cell phone wondering what was wrong with it. In Japanese she responded, "Don't worry everything will be fine. It's weird at first but you'll get used to it in time."
"Umm?" glanced a confused Maiku.
Mimi looked at her son, raising an eyebrow. She saw his confused face and forgot that she was speaking too fast for him. She switched back to the language he understood the best. "Ah! Oops… I'm sorry dear. I said everything will be fine. I mean it's weird at first, but you'll get used to it in time. You'll like it here a lot. Also I'm asking a friend to tutor you in Japanese, she's a teacher and a long friend. She's very nice."
Maiku nodded, not feeling self-assured. "Yeah…Okay…"
Mimi frowned and hugged her son. "I promise you, this will be a good experience and you'll like it. I bet you wont want to leave when we have to."
Actually he wanted to go back to America this instant, but he should at least believe in his mother for the time being. "Yeah. Okay."
Mimi smiled at him and kissed his forehead. This got her son to become his usual self, he whined as she kissed his forehead.
"Mooom!" cried out a blushing Maiku.
"You never change," she winked at him.

This was really hard. Oh so hard I couldn't believe I was talking about Mimi the whole time. I love Mimi, dearly, but I feel like she's so hard to write about it's not even funny! Jeez. Well hopefully you guys liked this chapter, which was HARD to write I say! Ahaha, finally got Mimi here and now what will happen next? (: You'll just have to patiently wait until next time!
