Oh Tachikawa!
Chapter 01: She Says
It was September 2, opening for new classes, Yamato Ishida will be a 4th year, before he could go to school he thought the things he'd done last year.
Flashback"Sora, come on!" Matt pleaded, Sora shook her head. He sighed and heard laughter next row; Mimi and Tai were having the funniest moment. "The cat purred so I think the dog will bark." He predicted, listening attentively. Mimi smiled and heard a bark. Yes, Tai was right. The two laughed hilariously; somehow Matt just wanted to be like Tai.
He stopped flirting with Sora and went over at Mimi and Tai next to the window.
"Come on Tai, you don't want to spend time with a ditz." He said, trying to leave her.
"She's not a ditz! Actually, she's kinda fun!" he said, putting an arm on her shoulder, Mimi stuck her tongue out at Matt. "Aren't you supposed to be bugging Sora and asking her a date?" she reminded him sarcastically. Matt frowned and examined her reaction. What? Not even a tint of jealousy? She's so high. He sighed, trying not to look jealous. "Yeah, I am finished with that, on my schedule I think it's time to annoy you." He said, Mimi quickly shook her head and clutched at Tai's shirt.
Tai grinned and nodded, leaving Mimi with Matt. Oh great, why can't he just go and bother Sora? Matt took a seat beside her and kept silent. Mimi turned her head away from him. Okay, this is really weird, he must bother Sora! I planned them to be a popular couple! She inhaled and turned to face him, as she open her eyes, she saw that Matt was gazing at her. "Okay Matt! You two-timer! You must like Sora! I planned you two!' she blew it all up.
"I like Sora than you, you know, you smell like a rotten fish." He said insincerely. A vein was throbbing on her head and grinned.
"Sora's monster!" she teased, standing up. Now you did it Mimi! He's going to tickle you non-stop! Matt stood up and seized her body or 'hugged' her, trying not to release her and tickling her neck.
"Stop! You jerk!" she yelled, everyone in the class looked at the two and gave "Hey!" in a romantic tone. "Yuck!" Mimi screamed and stepped his foot. Why's she so hard to get? I'm good looking, I'm top 3 in class, and I'm a heartthrob in this class!
Matt looked at her and saw a vein throbbing in her head, he laughed a little. "You're supposed to be with Sora!" she yelled and went off.
End of Flashback
Yup, not even saying "I love you Sora." Will make her jealous. One year and parting of ways. One year to have a chance to say he likes her. How?
Flashback
It was Algebra, a guy was waiting for Mimi. "Excuse me, do you need something?" the professor asked, he nodded. "Yes, this is Michael, I'm looking for Mimi Tachikawa." He said loudly, Mimi stood up and acted freakishly, shivering and hiding under her table. "I don't like him!" she yelled, a vein throbbing in her head, Matt heard this and he felt something that he should protect her.
"Go away!" he yelled at the guy, which caused everyone to say, "Hey!" in a romantic tone. Michael shrugged and gave a flying-kiss to Mimi, which made her cry.
"I don't like him…" she reminded herself, Matt poked her shoulder.
"Here." He handed her a box of tissue, she accepted and thanked. The professor sighed and returned to discussion.
End Of Flashback
Well, that's the only memorable thing we had. Oh, it's not just that.
Matt went to his thoughts again.
Flashback
It was Green Month, their science professor attached a pink ribbon on Sora's work; a birdhouse as it was placed at the school garden. Sora was creative, stylish, and yet more matured. Mimi received a blue ribbon; a cactus she had been trying to avoid showering too much water. Mimi's cute, ditzy-a bit, bubbly, funny (she never knew how funny she is), musically-inclined and a cheerleader (ACE). Yes, she may not be smart as Sora, but she's really fun to be with.
"Oh well, at least I'm blue." She said as she shrugged and placed the cactus near the oak tree. Then, she felt a finger that poked her waist; she looked back and saw Tai.
She sighed and said, "Tired of chasing Sora?" she asked sarcastically, Tai nodded. Actually, Tai likes Mimi, just like Matt, he makes her jealous.
"Meems, have you seen Matt?" he asked, Mimi almost dropped the plant.
"No, and I don't want to see him." She said hurtfully, at the back, another finger poked her waist.
"Tai!" she accused.
"Do you think I can do that while I'm in front of you?" he said defensively. Mimi looked back and saw Matt.
"You!" she accused, Matt pouted.
"That hurts, take that back!" he ordered. Mimi rolled her eyes.
"No!" she disagreed.
"Okay then, I'll go over at your house and tell your parents' that I'm your boyfriend." He said with a grin. Mimi freaked.
"Don't! They'll go mad at me!" she said, she had no time to think of romantic fluff, her parents' were really going to kill her.
"Then you tell Sora that I'm asking her out." He said, Mimi nodded hysterically. What? No jealousy! My patience for you, Tachikawa is overheating! Mimi went off to look for Sora, but then Matt grabbed her wrist.
"Don't." he took his words back.
"But you're going to tell my parents!" she exclaimed.
"No I won't, I'll tell Sora." He said. Mimi sighed in relief. Tai pushed Mimi towards to Matt that made the two hug. Then Tai took out his camera and captured a picture.
"Ha!" Tai exclaimed successfully.
"Don't you go and publish that!" Mimi reminded/warned, which made Tai grin.
Something tells Matt to do it.
"So, Sorato or Mimato?" Tai asked the crowd. "SORATO!" the crowd said, Tai grinned. Mimi smiled and Matt pouted. This is my fault. I like Mimi more! If only I didn't push Sora. .
Good! They still like Sorato! Ah! Saved by Tai! Mimi thought.
Mimi smiled widely; no she never loved Matt, not even a tint. Because she likes…Guess what, T.K. This made Matt so jealous. T.K. his own brother. Yeah right.
Why T.K.? I'm more cuter than him, well-some says I'm T.K. and he's Matt! But she should choose me. And then, Tai came up to him.
"Hey Tai, I need to talk to you." He said, Tai nodded and went at the back of the oak tree.
"It's about Mimi." Matt started. "What about her?" Tai asked.
"Tai, I like Mimi." He confessed, Tai's jaw dropped. "You mean you don't like Sora?" he said a little bit angry, he nodded. "Matt, I like Mimi too." Tai confessed. Matt's eyes widened.
"Not Sora?" he asked, Tai shook his head.
"Why do you like her?" Matt asked. "Well, she has a unique attitude that I want from her, she's cute, and oh I don't know! I just like her!" Tai said lamely. "What about you?"
"I like her since we're at the Digiworld. I like her because she has this kind of attitude that makes her-her! Her voice sounds cute whenever she complains, the way she points is cute too, the way she laughs is like she has hiccups, and that's cute too." He said.
"So, this means we're at war, right?" Tai asked angrily.
"Yes, objective; retrieve Mimi Tachikawa's heart." He confirmed, Tai nodded, the two-shook hands. The two sat on the grass and enjoyed the sight of Mimi; who has been chasing Daisuke because he just stole her bag.
"Daisuke!" Mimi exclaimed, Daisuke laughed. I like the way she does.
"Hey Matt, do you think Daisuke has a crush on Mimi?" Tai asked, Matt examined the two and yes.
"Uhuh. I thought everyone like Sora, but it seems that they're giving more attention to Mimi." He said. Tai grinned suddenly. "Matt, what will you do if Mimi likes me better than you?" he asked challengingly. Matt raised a brow.
"I guess there's no reason to live if the purpose of living is gone." He said, Tai chuckled. "What's so funny?" he asked furiously.
"Nothing, you take things seriously, you know." Tai tried not to laugh. Matt returned his gaze at Mimi, this time, Daisuke had stolen her book.
"Daisuke!" she chased him, losing breath. Daisuke laughed and somehow enjoyed it.
"Daisuke's lame." Tai said, Matt arched a brow.
"He's flirting's so last season." Tai said, answering Matt.
"Have any ideas who likes Mimi as much as we do?" Matt asked.
"Hmmm…Joe, Izzy, Takeru, you, me, Daisuke, Michael, your band…Man, she's a sweetheart." Tai said.
"Yeah, she just stole me and my band's heart." Matt said, looking at Mimi again.
Mimi bonged Daisuke on the head and took the book away from him.
"You're giving me the heart attack!" Mimi exclaimed. Matt gave a little laugh. Why does she have to be like that? I have so many rivals. Tai, Daiuske, Izzy, Joe, my band and Takeru. Whoa. Yeah, let's consider her a sweetheart. Then he saw the way she laughs like she has hiccups, yeah that was funny. (A/N: Well, my crush says that my laugh's kinda cool, you know, like you have hiccups. It was unique though.)
He blushed a little, then Daisuke stole her bag…again, and she came up chasing him…again. Something just made Matt feel jealous. Why didn't I think of that? Surely, they're communicating a lot now! Mat examined Daisuke's way of flirting, he rolled his eyes and grinned. Hmmmm…anyway, my flirting can't be even called flirting in others' views! Tai glanced at Matt. Well, I can't deny Matt's popular, he's talented. I'm nothing but-wait! I'm a soccer player Ace! Yet, a competition with him for Mimi? Let me see, Jjoe, T.K., Izzy, Daiuske, my team has a crush on her! Yeah, well, she looks cute though. Who would resist, I thought all of Sora's admirers admire Sora only, but then again, she's being used, to make Mimi jealous, yeah right.
End of Flashback
So, he wasn't alone liking Mimi, clueless Mimi. Which means he has to pass up Tai, his band, Daisuke, Takeru, Izzy and especially Joe and Michael, which he knew that the two were close to Mimi. Though, thousands of girls will die for him just to kiss him, but a certain someone would not, yeah, which made her so unique, you can't even buy her for 1,000,000,000 yen.
He got up and went to school, before entering the gate, he waited for Mimi. Five minutes of waiting, Mimi appeared, she has changed, yet her laugh didn't.
"You're waiting for Sora?" Mimi taunted, as usual. Matt managed to grin. Ugh! Can you please get Sora out? I'm waiting for you! Dickhead!
"No, I was waiting for you." He said, grabbing her wrist.
"Hey!" she said, trying to let go. Matt gripped it more.
"Shut up or I'll tell your parents I'm your boyfriend." He threatened, Mimi shook her head, instead of thinking mushy stuff. He's still Ishida.
"Ah! No don't! I'll help you get with Sora!" she promised, Matt gripped her hand more. Sora this, Sora that! Man, can Sora please be in a side for a moment? My patience is running off, Tachikawa!
"Where are we going?" she said nervously.
"To the classroom, idiot." He said as Mimi biting her finger.
Yet, this attitude attracts him, she's completely a wreck when she gets involve with it.
The two headed towards the classroom as Matt attracting attentions.
"I'm confused, Sora or Mimi?" a girl whispered.
"I vote for Sora. She and Matt communicates well." Another said.
"I like Mimato, the two look cute." The girl said.
"Hey Matt!" a voice came behind, running towards the two and moving between them. Tai.
"Hey Tai." Matt said less happily.
"I think Tai and Mimi are cute!" the girl said, her friend nodded.
"Call it a Michi!" she said happily. Matt heard. 'Call it a Michi!' it sucks.Taiora instead than Sorato, Michi or anything out there!
"So, what are YOU up to?" Tai asked the two, Mimi shrugged merely.
"Oh, if there's nothing, Mimi, you want to go at the soccer field?" Tai asked, before Mimi could answer, Matt interrupted.
"Why? Are you two having a thing!" he almost yelled.
"No, I have cheerleading practice and he has soccer practice. What's bad about that?" she answered, almost hurting Matt. I can't believe I'm losing to another ditz. (Tai)
"Oh." He said stupidly. Mimi spotted Sora.
"Hey Sora! Matt's asking you out!" she reminded her, Matt poked her backbone, Tai snorted, the others said another romantic "Hey!". Sora ignored Mimi's reminder.
"If you don't want to lose from Tai, go after her!" Mimi exclaimed to Matt, Matt was so hurt. You brat! I'm trying to get YOU from Tai! Mimi opened her locker and took something out of it; It was a picture of a well-known J-actor, Tsujai Ikoseyho. Then, she said, "Good morning Tsujai! Hope you'll discover me!" Matt sweat dropped. Then, Mimi's eyes began to heart-shape. "Hey, Miyako! Isn't he cute?" she exclaimed. "Oh! Tsujai's not cute! He's handsome!" she giggled, the two girls chatted about the J-actor.
So, I guess she never had it. Well, her hopes and dreams from that Tsujai's dull. He began to think negative things about the J-artist's relation to a cheerleader.
In the middle of the class (no prof. –Yahoo!-)
Class A-4 was having a racket; Tai had stolen Mimi's book again, fanboys were surrounding Sora and Matt was alone by the window with jealousy in his eyes.
Tsk. They're just playing atround, right? He looked straightly at Tai and Mimi, then a girl holding a long piece of paper written; MICHI, MIMI4TAI! This is sickening!
"MIMI AND MATT'S MORE BETTER!" a blue-haired girl shouted, the crowd jeered and said, "SORATO!" Matt showed a hidden grin.
"No Mimi and Matt please!" Mimi yelled, "Sora and Matt more better!" she said happily. Matt clenched his teeth and is hands were balled, trying not to lose grip.
This really sucks, why? Stupid Tai! His temper was about to lose when a hand was on his shoulder, he looked up and saw Mimi.
"Hey, are you alright?" Mimi asked, Matt was startled; her eyes was filled with care, her expression shows tender. Could there be a space in your heart? Maybe, he never saw this Mimi Tachikawa. Maybe, they argue a lot, but this time…no answer can be told.
"Yeah." He said blankly, Mimi blinked few times and sat beside him. This was so unexpected, when there are times he's going to sit beside her, she'll transfer to another seat.
"You know, Tsujai's birthday's on September 16!" she burst out, Matt sweat dropped.
"I know, drop your nagging, okay? Can we just talk about something else?" he said, being annoyed.
"Okay! You know, he's jersey number is 7!" she said, Matt sweat dropped again.
"You're a Tsujai addict, if you want to know that." He told her, Mimi nodded.
"I'll make my jersey number 7." He said with a grin, Mimi ignored.
"Yeah! And he's favorite color is green! My crest of Sincerity's green!' she said, with starry eyes, Matt double sweat dropped.
"My favorite color's green too." He said, well so obviously, he alaways wear green.
"I don't doubt, you wear green back at the Digiworld." She said with a giggle.
Then, Matt noticed that they never talked something more well than Tsujai, clothes and blah blah blahs.
Mimi then tied her hair in pigtails, which made Matt blush- fixing her hair in front of him? She looks ugly, no she doesn't she looks cute, no, pretty. Matt gave a lopsided grin.
"You know, I finally realized that you look hot." He said, Mimi smiled.
"I have been so hot when I was born, you know." She said, Matt grinned widely.
"Did you had your first kiss?" he asked unexpectedly, Mimi froze a little and shook her head.
"And I don't want that Michael to have it either!" she said loudly, anger rose. "He's a jinx! Man, I'd rather go out with anyone in this world than him!" she exclaimed, Matt smiled. And that includes me.
"where's T.K.? I have been dying to see him!" she exclaimed to Matt.
"Mimi, our parents are divorced, if you want to risk your legs to Shibuya, your choice." He said, Mimi nodded.
"What about you accompany me?" she offered, Matt shook his head. Man, me with you? Really?
"come on! You're his brother, he'll be glad to see you too!" she said with glittered eyes.
"Oh-okay." He said nervously. Really he's so happy.
"Oh thanks! You never know how much this means to me!" she said happily and hugged Matt. Matt stood frozen, but he was cool of it, it was Mimi after all.
"Hey!" the other students said in a romantic tone.
"No MORE SORATO! I guess…" Maui cheered. ¼ MIMATO and ¾ SORATO.
Mimi just rolled her eyes and went back to her seat with Matt.
"Please shut up or I'll tell who's your crush, Maui!" Mimi muttered, Matt looked at her with interest.
"What?" Mimi asked flatly.
"Who's Maui's crush?"
"I-I can't tell!"
"Okay then, no choice, (turns to Tai) hey Tai, do you know Mimi's crush?" then Mimi pulled him on his collar.
"Shut up!"
"Now, who's Maui's crush, not going to tell? Your choice! (turns to Tai again), hey Tai, Mimi's crush is-" cut off again when Mimi pulled the back of his collar.
"Oh how I hate you!" she cursed, Matt grinned.
"Now tell me! (Mimi shook her head and Matt shrugged and turns to Tai). Mimi's crush is-" cut off again when Mimi pulled his collar again.
"What are you doing! You're about to blab in the whole world who's my crush!" Mimi retorted, turning red.
"Tell me Maui's crush then (Mimi frowned and Matt shrugged again and turns to Tai). Taichi, Mimi's crush is T-" Mimi pulled his collar again and Matt grinned again.
"I really hate you!" Mimi cursed, Matt grinned, then Maui turned to Mimi with a smile.
"Mimi, someone said that you two are having MU!" Maui said delightfully, the students smiled with a romantic "Hey!". (A/N: MU means Misunderstanding, meaning an argument that makes boy/girl closer.)
Mimi frowned, while Matt snickered. "Yeah, we do." Matt muttered loudly. Mimi punched his arm playfully. Sora and Tai are having MU in other's point of view, so as Mimi and Matt having MU.
"Eeew! Don't you ever do that!" Mimi warned him, Matt stuck his tongue out and was about to lick Mimi's hand, but she bonged him.
Matt laughed.
"Can you tell me who's your crush? At this room?" he asked, Mimi gulped.
"I-can't tell." She said defensively, Matt poked her waist again.
"Alright! I'll tell you! Keep it a secret!" she said, Matt grinned.
"My crush is-is-T-Tai." She answered nervously. Matt's jaw dropped, he couldn't believe it! Tai and Mimi? Michi?
"Whole world, Mimi's crush is Tai!" Matt yelled angrily.
"Hey what's that for?" Mimi demanded. The others looked at her and Tai blushed madly.
"MICHI!" the students yelled, Matt went to the far side corner of the room, ignoring MICHI declaration.
Tai went to him and asked.
"Hey buddy, are you alright." he asked, Matt didn't answer.
"Stay away, now you have Mimi, you're both happy." He retorted.
Taichi shrugged. He didn't care his best friend being heartbroken as long as he has Mimi? Or does she like somebody else more than him?
To be continued…
That's end of chapter one! Hope you like it!
Note: I'D Do Anything will end soon. (sorry.)
