He stood there in shock. 'Gone'? What the hell should that possibly mean? Maybe she had just moved out to another place, maybe she just had to clean all her stuff because of a flood or maybe she was just playing around and was hiding somewhere in the house but she couldn't be gone. There was no way he was just going to accept that. Not again.

Matt could feel his body weakening in seconds. He looked at Tai. He was looking for comfort, for strength, maybe if he stared at him in the eyes, he would just find out that this was all just a bloody game. That Mimi could not possible be returning to the USA without letting him know and that he could be able to punch Tai right in the face because of making him believe something it wasn't true. But the truth is that in Tai's eyes he found nothing. Not a single clue. He could not tell that he was lying and he hoped so badly that he was.

He lay to the wall, resting his back against it, and started falling slowly till he reached the ground. She was actually gone. No more Mimi, no more. He closed his eyes; this could not be happening, not again. He just wished that all this was a sick nightmare.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Matt confused. Mimi has never seen him like this. His face showed fear, sadness and hurt.

"I'm leaving Japan. My dad was hired to work in the USA. We are leaving in 3 days." Matt looked at her.

"You kidding" Mimi starred at him with an expression that he couldn't figure out. "Please, say that you are kidding me" he was begging. She tried to avoid the tears of falling but she couldn't help it. She cried. Matt holds her tight wondering how did this happened.

"I'm sorry" she whispered "I don't want to leave. I don't want to leave you" she cried harder. They stood there in silence. He didn't know what to say nether did her. They hugged each other as tight as they could hoping that moment would last for ever, hoping it would never end.

He opened his eyes slowly as he heard his name being called. He looked up. Tai was kneeling in front of him.

"We need to talk" the moment the words came out of his mouth, Matt fought the urge to punch him. He remembered. The fact that Mimi was gone didn't mean he had forgotten the fact that Tai screwed her. "About Mimi and I" Matt stood in that precisely moment up and started to walk away. He didn't want to hear it. He didn't need it right now.

"Nothing happened between us" Matt was now standing looking at the stairs ready to walk them down and just walk away ignoring Tai. Just as he had planned seconds ago but he didn't. "I know you guys think that we slept toegther that kind of stuff but we didn't" Matt couldn't believe this. He turned around angrily.

"Yeah right! You want me to believe you never touched her, right?" Matt's tone was harsh.

"The only thing we did was kissing. Three times; nothing else" Tai looked like he was saying the truth but Matt just couldn't believe it.

"Right. I saw you two waking up together in your bed this morning." Tai couldn't help but smile. He explained things to Matt. He assured him that nothing happened.

"Why are you telling me all of this?"

"Because you needed to know that she is still yours. She didn't sleep with me because she was too drunk thinking about you to actually care about me. We never had something. She is wonderful but she is also in love with you and I can't change that. Not forgetting to mention that I'm in love with some else" Matt frowned. He was curios but he just couldn't ask him with whom.

Matt started walking again away. ´still his´ those two words were surprisingly encouragering "Thanks" he said while walking down the stairs.

Tai started walking behind him. "What are you doing?" Matt stopped at the front door. Tai was on the top of the stairs. Matt opened the front door "Where are you going?"

"To stop her" he looked back "by the way, I'll need to borrow your car for a while." Tai couldn't help it but smiled just as Matt did. He threw him his car keys and Matt disappeared behind the front door. Tai took a seat in one of the stairs, took his cell phone out and dialed a number.

"Hi. It's me."

"Tai?"

"Yeah… listen, I need to talk to you. Can you meet me now?"

"Yeah… Where?"

"What about Kimiko's?"

"Sure"

"Thanks, Sor. See you in a while"

He hated traffic. He really did. He looked at his watch. 3:39 p.m. if Tai's information was right he still had 11 minutes to make it to the airport and stop Mimi from leaving him again. The red light turned green and the only thing he had in mind was to get there on time. He was not going to let her go. He couldn't stand to lose her again; not now that it took him so long to figured it out.

It was 3:48 p.m. and he was already there. He got out of Tai's truck and run into the building. He had 2 minutes to find her and beg her to stay with him. He didn't want to lose her again. And he wouldn't. The electric stairs where on so by running and crashing into strangers at any time he made it in less than a minute till the boarding gate. He had passed by many officers and obviously they were running after him. He reached the gate 4 and asked when the flight to the US was going to fly away. He had almost yelled to the poor lady who was standing behind the boarding line.

"The flight to the USA is in gate 10 and if you look through the window you can see the plane already moving" said the bitchy lady in her bitchy tone of voice. Matt got near to the window. It was true the plane was already moving and in there was Mimi.

"And now both of them where gone" muttered Matt trying not to break down at that very moment.

"I guess this is the goodbye" she told him. Her eyes were tearing and her voice was trying not to reveal the sadness she felt. She tried to smile, but it was almost impossible.

"It's not. We might have break up for now. But I'm sure will have another chance for us to be together. So don't cry, baby" his words were sweet. He hugged her and she cried on his chest for a while. "Don't forget I love you more than anything."

"I don't know how you do it" she murmured into his chest. "You always make me feel like life is going to last for ever and this is just a vacation trip"

"You are the one who made me think like that and I have to thank you for that. You really help me out."

"This is the last call for all the passengers from flight p64 to Miami, US..."

"I think I have to go" Mimi looked at him and he kissed her. It was slow, caring, loving, sweet and heart full. They didn't want it to end but they did. She slowly took her baggage, kissed him one more time on the lips and walk away. He stood there watching how she crossed the automatically glass door and disappeared waving at him, before turning on that corner. She was gone. He stood there watching the empty space where she had been just seconds ago. Minutes later, he realized that she was really gone. Then for the first time since he was four years old, he cried.

"You!" Matt didn't turned around "Come with us" said one of the police officers once they reached him. They took him out of the airport in the most polite way they could. They threw him away through the automatically doors. He was lying on the ground. Did this really happen? Was she really gone? Fuck! Why didn't he realize before that Sora was still in love with Tai and that she was only using him? Why couldn't he realize that beside the fact that it had been already 6 years he had not stop loving her? Why the hell must life hate him so much?! Why could life not understand that Mimi was the only thing he really cared for? Why did he just realize that now? He was the worst person in the whole world. Or at least that's how he felt.

"Hey" said sitting down at the table he had been waiting.

"Sora" he had a serious expression on his face which suddenly softened.

"So? Why did you want me to see you here?"

"The place didn't actually matter but anyway… the thing is" he paused. How should he say this? They have been 5 years since this whole bloody game started and he was not sure if Sora was aware of it. But he needed at least to try. "We need to stop this" Sora looked at him speechless. The waitress came by and asked them for the order. Tai told her to come back later that they hadn't decided yet what they were going to have, if they were going to have something at all.

"I…" Sora wasn't sure about what to say. She did know what Tai's words meant. Mimi had told her the same thing. "I don't know what you are talking about"

"Bullshit"

"What?"

"You know exactly what I'm talking about. Don't even try to deny it."

"Ok… I won't"

"I think we went too far"

"We went too far?"

"I don't want to do this anymore Sora. I'm tired of being with you without you" Sora was starring into Tai's eyes. Did he mean it? "I want you to be with me; and just me. No one else" she said nothing. "I'm sick of having sex with you and say it was just sex when you know exactly it was not ´just sex'. I can't stand the fact of you dating someone else. I'm tired of dating stupid girls and sleeping with them just to make you jealous"

"Then don't"

"If I didn't, you would still be dating someone else"

"I do it because you do it" she fought back.

"I did it because you couldn't forgive me for something I didn't do!" the lovely conversation was turning to be something more like a fight.

"You did kiss that bitch!"

"She kissed me! For god sake! It has been already 5 years. You have been with some guys; I've been with some girls; why can't we just start all over again, forgetting it all?"

"Because while I was with just one guy and I mean Matt, you were with the whole institute."

"Don't say you only dated Matt because that's not true, miss cat-tong" Sora suddenly shut up. How did he know about it? Cat-tong is how some boys in the institute call her and some 'friends' of her. It was a nick name they had gave her because she was a cat in bed and never got out of her room without her lovely tong but sometimes came back without it.

"And you have the guts to blame me for everything" Tai's eyes softened and while she was looking at the table, he grabbed her right hand. "We both are fools. We both made lots of mistakes. But we also are still stuck into each other" She looked at her hand in his. Then they locked eyes. "Wanna try to do it right this time?"

"I…"

"I don't mean to be boy-friend-girl-friend right the way. I mean to date and so. To take it slow and make it for real" Sora silently nodded. She was surprised by his suggestion and the fact that he had forgiven her for lying. It was nice. Maybe this was what she needed take it slow and no more revenge. Bye-bye game.

Matt was sitting on a bench on the park. He could not believe he got there late. He probably would never see her again. At least not how things had ended. She didn't tell him that she was going back to the US. She must really hate him.

"Maybe she was sick of me playing around with her feelings. But I do care for her feelings but Sora was there and Mimi too, and I made the wrong choice and now I screwed up" The words made sense in his head more than been use in an actual sentence.

The sun was still up boarding the horizon. He thought about Mimi, about the date they had. They were sitting on the bench, on the same bench he has been sitting for the last ten minutes. From that park he could see the sea and the mountains. It was perfect. From that bench the view was perfect.

A breeze came by his face and he closed his eyes slowly.

"Where are you taking me?" They got out of the truck. She was still wearing the sweatshirt she was supposed to wear over the eyes so she couldn't see where the hell he was taking her. "Matt I'm serious. If this is some kind of joke and you are just—"

"Sit down" Matt commanded to his now blind girlfriend.

"What? Where?" asked confused. She wasn't able to see so she didn't actually know where to.

"Right there where you are, Mimi. Sit down." She obeyed and found an old bench under her.

"Matt, it's almost midnight. Can I see now? If I don't I swear to god that I'll fall asleep" she said sleepily.

"So? What do you think? This is going to be our secret place" asked Matt after taking her the sweatshirt off of her beautiful eyes. She wide-opened them; it was awesome. The moon was up illuminating everything. The mountains could be seen at the right and the sea was by the left. The stars were shinning brightly up next to the moon. And all trees were glowing with live. Everything felt so alive and so beautiful. Not many people walked nearby just a few. And behind the bench a few meters away behind some trees, was a lake. This place was not that far away from the parking lot but pretty hide in the park.

"It's amazing"

"Not as amazing as you" he said staring at her. She looked away from the gorgeous view and gazed at Matt.

"Thank you. For this I mean. This moment, this view, you… everything is perfect!" she smiled at him. He approached her, took one hand of hers in his and with his free hand took her by her waist. He eliminated the space between their bodies and threw her hand over his shoulder. She automatically did the same with her other hand and hugged him by the neck. Their noses touched and they were breathing slowly with the eyes closed. Everything was in silence, not even the lullabies were heard but the stars singing them a love song. His lips touched lightly hers and before she was able to kiss him, his voice broke the silent.

"May I… kiss you?" he asked in his husky voice and she giggled.

"Don't you think you are big enough to start doing and stop asking that much?"

"It reminds me the first time besides I love to hear you giggling."

"Me too"

"And I love you"

He opened his eyes suddenly, his cell phone was ringing. He just looked for the person who was calling. It was Tai. He had hope for Mimi but no luck. He shut it down and put it back into his pocket. He was not in the mood for some talking. He closed his eyes again and drowns his self back to happy memories. He remembered many other occasions where the both of them where extremely happy but then…

"Is this really happening?"

"Yes" she answered still in his arms. They were lying on the grass on their secret place.

"Don't bring any other girl here" she said hugging him harder. He closed his eyes and tried to memorize how her body felt against his.

"I won't"

"Really?"

"Of course" he sat up breaking their hug and looked at her. "This is no the end of us. This is just a great experience for us. This is going to prove that no matter how big are the distances between us, our love is bigger. Anyway, the next time I'll come back here, is going to be with you; no one else."

"I'll miss you"

"Me too"

At that precisely moment he knew he had really fucked everything up. Did she remember that conversation? Did she remember it before the date? He couldn't tell.

The only thing that he could be sure was that the words that he told Mimi the day she was going to leave Japan, were true; well half of it. He still loved her and it seemed she did too. But he was sitting there on a bench on their secret place all alone. Why couldn't stop being so stupid and start realizing things before the got wrong?

He stood up and started waking back to Tai's truck. He walked down the path. The wind was blowing nicely against his face and hundreds of sakuras (N/A: I mean the flowers) were dancing around him. The sun was drowning into the sea and he could still see the sunset from were he was standing. So he stopped and turned around just to take one more look at their secret place. He had no intentions of coming back, at least not without her again.

He stared at the scene and he felt empty and heartbroken.

"Matt?" such luck. He was now delusional and hearing things. "Matt?" Wait a minute. Maybe he wasn't crazy at all. He was really hearing Mimi's voice. He didn't think it twice and turned around.

She was there. Mimi was there. She was standing two meters away from him, sakuras were dancing around with her hair; she was holding a small bag on her left hand and she was breathing hard trying to catch her breath again. She must have been running.

"Are you real?" they eyes were locked "Or do I miss you already so much that I'm imagining things?"

"I'm real" she was still trying to catch her breath but figured how to answer him.

"What are you doing here?" he couldn't find another way to figure what the hell do. Most of his body was paralyzed and instead of running to her and kiss her, he was standing there in front of her. "But you were on the plane"

"I got out off the plane. I couldn't just go… and leave you again." She stepped closer.

"... And what about your mom?"

"She said that I can stay with the Yagami's until I found somewhere to stay" closer. Matt not thinking about his moves did the same "or with you". That's why Tai had called him, to say Mimi was still here. "Anyway I think that my parents will get together this time"

"How did you find me?" he changed suddenly the subject. She smiled.

"Easy. I looked for you in your apartment and at the basketball court in the institute. Then I remember this place. Our place" she pause before adding the last part. Then, just then Matt realized how close they were standing now. They weren't touching but he could feel her warm skin against his.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Why didn't you tell me that you were dating Sora" she asked back.

"I was afraid, I guess. I didn't want to make the wrong decision "

"Same here"

"But anyway I made the wrong one. You were the only and now I realized that you'll ever be. And my mistakes almost costs me losing you" he whispered taking both of her shoulders and pulling her softy a bit closer.

"I should have told you that I was leaving again" she whispered trying not to focus so much on his lips. They were so close.

"It doesn't matter anymore" she stared at him. "You are here right?"

"I'm not going anywhere" both of them smiled. The sun kept its way down and some lights along the path were already on. He couldn't help it but stroke her cheek with one hand. She was so beautiful at that very moment. Everything was so perfect, like if it was meant to be. He rested his forehead on hers. They eyes were closed enjoying the moment.

"Tai told me"

"Hn?"

"Why did nothing happen between you two?" they were still in the same position.

"Because he was a friend and the things I did with you, I couldn't do them with someone else"

"Are you sure you want to do this with me?" Matt asked her for the fourth time. Mimi stopped kissing him and looked at him.

"Yes Matt, I'm" she simple replied.

"Are you hundred percent sure?" they were lying on his bed, both were half naked and she was on the top of him.

"Matt, I love you. We have been together for five years without touching each other. If I wasn't' ready for this, I would tell you. You are the one, I know it" He smiled at her answer.

"Why?"

"Because…" she looked up at him with those wonderful eyes he loved so much "There's only one you" he really couldn't believe her words.

"I'm sorry about everything"

"It's ok" he leant in and their noses touched. She could feel how butterflies were dancing in her stomach. She felt like a little girl, so sweet and so nervous. Several seconds passed by.

"I need you to stay here" he said and she smiled.

"I'll be here"

"I want you to stay with me" he whispered almost against her lips. His lips were so closed to hers that she could almost tasted them. She remembered how was to kiss Matt; incredible. But that didn't mean that a memory was going to be better than the single present. Six years has already passed since their last kiss.

"I want that too" she replied always getting millimeters closer and closer.

"May I…" once the words came slowly out of his lips he moved a bit closer "May I kiss you?"She couldn't help but giggled right against his lips. (N/A: they are not kissing yet; their lips are just touching a bit! LOL)

"You'll never change" she kissed him lightly on the lips.

"I'm not planning on doing so" and he kissed her hard. He was not planning on letting her go or even breath. They have been so long apart from each other that he was really thinking about catching up.
