A/N: Sorry I took so long to update. I wrote this chapter in October 2002 but I just couldn't post it up. Probably because it's not how I wanted it to be. This is the last chapter and it's *really* weird. Im planning to rewrite chaps. 1-5 to fix all the mistakes and stuff and that should be done as soon as I finish with my Zoid fics. School is ending soon so I should finally have sometime to do that.

Chapter Six- The Truth
--------------------------------------
The party has just started and Im in a corner standing by myself, looking around to see who was at the party. As I looked around, I saw many people including my friends, talking to one another. However, there were two people that caught my eyes. Taichi and Yolei. They are standing next to each other, but Yolei's not looking so happy. I wonder why? Is it because I'm here at the same party as her? Oh well... I should just ignore her.
Out of all my closest friends that I invited, Sora, Yamato, Koushiro, Hikari, and Daisuke were the only ones that were able to come.
The others had other things to do and couldn't come to the party. Takeru had an important project to finish so he couldn't come and Jyou wouldn't be able to join us until later this evening after he's finished with his work. Ken is in Canada visiting his uncle with his parents and Iori is currently in America attending school there.
I closed my eyes slightly as the breeze that entered though the open window began to calm me down a little. I don't know why, but I feel so nervous. Like something big is going to happen any minute.
I opened my eyes again and saw Laura arrive with Mr. Kitashi. Their arms were hooked around each other as if they were a couple. Wait a minute. What are they doing together?
"Hey Laura! Hello Mr. Kitashi," I said to them as they came up to me.
"Hi. What's up?" Laura paused for a second and looked around the crowed room. "Why are you standing here alone, when your friends are over there?"
"Oh no reason," I lied to her even though I knew the reason clearly. If only Yolei wasn't here...
"Well, ok. I'll see you later." She gave out a smile and waved her hand as she slowly dragged Mr. Kitashi away with her.
"Hey wait. I want to ask you something." Laura stopped and stood still, and stared at me, wondering what I could probably want to ask her.
"Sure. What is it?"
"What are you doing with Mr. Kitashi? I thought you didn't like him," I whispered into her ear so Mr. Kitashi couldn't hear me.
"Oh that. Well Mr. Kitashi and I are going out."
"What? You and Mr. Kitashi? You must be kidding." When she smiled even more brightly than before, I knew she was telling the truth. "What? How? I thought you didn't like him? Wait, did you forget to take your daily medicine again?"
"Ha ha. Very funny Mimi. He's really nice and I well... I like him." She than waved her hand once more and left with Mr. Kitashi.
Okay... That was strange. I never expected them to be together. Never. They are so different from each other. But than again, opposites attract.
I stood alone once again and stared at the window, wondering when Jane would be arriving. She's already twenty minutes late! Hopefully she'd be here soon. Maybe I should go outside and wait for her. Yeah, why not?
--------------------------------------
As soon as I got outside, I was greeted by the cool wind which sent my hair flying in every direction. I pushed my hair back behind my ears until I felt a sudden chill.
"Mimi..." I quickly turned around to see who was calling my name and saw no one. No one was even outside right now.
"Mimi..."
"Is someone calling me?" I whispered to myself. I took a deep breath and thought for a while, until I realized that the voice that was calling my name was the same as the one from those painful dreams that I had.
"It's you! Where are you?"
"Right here Mimi."
"What do you want from me?"
"I want you to come with me."
"Who are you? Where do you want me to go with you?" I asked the voice.
"To the Digital World," said the voice, ignoring my first question.
"What? How do you know about the Digital World?"
"Mimi... Come with me."
"No!" I yelled at the direction that the voice was coming from. I wish I knew who he is.
"Mimi! Come with me... or Im just going to have to force you to come!" Than suddenly everything seemed to have stopped. The wind stopped blowing and I was no longer able to hear any noises from the inside of the building. What's going on? Is everyone frozen? As to answering my question, someone came running out of the building. Taichi Yagami. I guess not everyone's frozen.
"What's going on?" asked Taichi as he ran by my side.
"What did you do?" I asked the voice once again.
"I had frozen the time and everything in this world except only you and me," the voice paused for a moment before continuing. "However, it is strange how he did not froze like all of the others," said the voice, referring to Taichi.
"Mimi! What's going on? Do you know who that is?" I heard Taichi asking me. Before answering his question, I shook my head, side to side.
"No, but Im going to find out."
"Mimi... Come with me! Now! Before it's too late!"
"Too late for what?" There was a short pause which felt like forever, as I waited patiently for the answer to my question.
"Too late for everything!" I almost jump in fright by the sudden burst from whoever that the voice belonged to. "Can't you see? I do not want you to fall in love with him! He doesn't deserve you! I need you. I love you, Mimi. I can make you happy. Just come with me! Forget about him!" I stood shock, as if I didn't know what I'm suppose to say or do.
"Tell us who you are!" yelled Taichi. I could tell he was getting inpatient and he looked as if he was angry... but why? This has nothing to with him. This is my business. Not his.
"Fine... Since you are so desperate, I'll tell you... I'm..."
"Hey! I never said I was desperate!" yelled Taichi once again. I gripped my hand on his shoulder to get him to be quiet so he wouldn't interrupt again.
"Do not interrupt me when I'm talking! Now, where were we? Ah, yes. Im Michael."
"Michael? Aren't you Mimi's friend?" asked Taichi as I loosen my grip on his arm.
"Duh," said Michael in an annoying voice that I never thought he had. He's a good friend of mine so why is he doing this? Why?
"How are you able to do this? To freeze time and all?" I asked him.
"I am a spirit... I had been killed in the Digital world by a Digimon a year ago, and somehow I was revitalized as a spirit. I also found these strange new powers. I don't know how, but they became rather useful to me." I was speechless for a while. He... died?
"Michael, Im so sorry. I didn't know you were... dead." Tears welled up in my eyes and they soon trickled down my face. I was really being a terrible friend. What kind of friend wouldn't know their friend has died? I haven't called him or seen him for two years because I was too busy with my own life. I promised him that I would call him at least a couple of times a year when I left America and yet, I didn't keep my promise.
"It's ok, Mimi. All that really matters now is that, I love you. I had been in love with you ever since I first saw you. I just couldn't tell you because I knew you were in love with someone else..."
"Who?" I asked him, my voice quivering.
"Taichi Yagami and I could tell that you are still in love with him. But that doesn't matter anymore because... you are going to be mine!" Than Michael suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed me sharply by left arm, pain spreading through my arm. His fingers felt as if they were digging into my skin.
"Michael. Please... Let me go," I said to him as I tried my hardest to get loose from his tight grip.
"I can't do that. I love you."
"No, you don't Michael! If you really loved me, you would let me go! This isn't you at all. You've changed."
"Let you go? No way! Come on Mimi!"
"Leave her alone!" Taichi ran up to Michael but Michael back away slowly, dragging me with him.
"You stay out of this! This is between me and Mimi!" said Michael with an irritated look firmly on his pale face.
"Michael... I'm happy where I am right now. Even though there might be some hard times, I am happy where I am with my family and friends."
"Mimi... Taichi's never going to love you. He's always going to be in love with that ugly girl Yolei!" said Michael in disgust.
"I don't care if Taichi will never love me! As long as he and everyone else are happy, I'll be fine. Now let me go!" Once again, I tried to get away from his grip, but he was much stronger than me. "Michael. Please... Don't do this to me... I'm sorry, but you know as well as I, that I want to stay here." I looked at Michael and he seemed to be thinking very hard. "Im so sorry Michael," I said to him as the tears burred my vision.
Michael looked down at his hand and closed his eyes slightly. We stayed in the position for a while until he finally opened his eyes again that looked dull and lifeless.
"Mimi... Please don't cry and please don't feel sorry for me." He gently wiped some tears away with his fingers as he let my arm loose once again. "I love you Mimi but I realized that no matter what I do, there will always be someone else in your heart." With a sigh he smiled at me. "I'm sorry for coming into your dreams like that and giving you troubles. I... I love you Mimi. Good bye..."
"Thank you Michael." I gave him a hug and he disappeared leaving no trace behind.
Than suddenly, the time was unfrozen and the party continued like nothing has happened.
"Hey Mimi. You... ok?" asked Taichi looking unsure.
"Yeah. I'm alright."
--------------------------------------
A couple of minutes passed by and Jane had finally arrived. She looked around the room and I could tell that she was delighted. She walked up to me and smiled.
"Mimi! Wow! This place looks great!" Than she put on a serious look on her face. "What's wrong Mimi? Have you been crying?"
"No, what makes you say that?" I gave out a small laugh. "Come on! Let's have some fun." I dragged her over to my friends and introduce her except for Taichi, who already knew her, and Yolei.
"Hey Jane!" yelled Laura across from the room. She and Mr. Kitashi came over and we began to have a small short conversation until Taichi silently tapped my back.
"Yes?" I asked him nervously.
"Can I talk to you alone for a minute?" I started getting even more nervous but found myself nodding my head as in yes.
"Yeah, sure." I slowly followed him outside and while we were going out, I felt Yolei's eyes on me.
"Mimi... Do you... I mean. Uh, do you really love me?" Oh no... I knew he was going to ask me that question. Now what am I suppose to do? Say yes and run away?
"Yeah... But it's not like it matters right?" I blurted out as my mind searched for something else to say.
"I... I have to go," said Taichi and he left, walking by me. I guess he's kind of shocked. I wish I wasn't in love with him... This whole thing is stupid! Just stupid! What am I suppose to do now?
--------------------------------------
It was Sunday morning and the light of the sun pecked though the white curtain, which told me it was time to get up. When I opened my eyes and tried to stand up, my back felt as if I was hit by a car. I looked around and saw a television, a small table and two sofas. I was in the living room.
I guess I had fallen asleep on the sofa after I got home from the party. I stretched my arms and saw some bruises on my arm. It was from Michael, who had grabbed my arm tightly last night to take me with him.
I took a quick shower and went out to the park. Sora was still sleeping and there wasn't anything to do at home and I hate having nothing to do but sit around all day doing... well, nothing. The sky was dark and gloomy like it would rain soon, but I just went out any ways.
When I entered the park, I sat on one of the swings and looked up at the sky that was filled with white clouds.
"Hey Mimi." I slightly jumped up from the swing in surprise. "Sorry. I didn't mean to surprise you like that."
"It's okay... Yolei."
"I... I just came to tell you that... Im sorry." I sat back down on the swing and Yolei sat on the swing next to me. "I broke up with Taichi this morning and told him all the truth. He seemed somewhat happy when I told him that, I didn't love him any more."
"Yolei..."
"Mimi. Can you ever forgive me? I know I did a lot of bad things in my life but..."
"It's okay Yolei... I forgive you."
"Thanks. I was afraid that you wouldn't. I missed you being my friend. Here." She handed me a small letter. "Taichi wanted me to give this letter to you this morning after we broke up. I didn't open it or anything..."
"Thanks."
--------------------------------------
Somehow I felt much better when I got home. I didn't open the letter yet because I was afraid that it might say something that I didn't want to know. Well, I have to open it up sooner or later so why not now.
I opened up the letter and noticed Taichi's handwriting. It said to meet him at the High Way Central at seven... That's the place that I had my birthday party when I was eleven, before I moved to America. Why does he want to meet me there?
With a shrug, I folded the letter and went into the kitchen to get something to eat.
--------------------------------------
The time passed by very quickly as it soon neared seven just as I arrived at the High Way Central. It looks just the same as it did before years ago except there were few water fountains that glitter with bright lights that were surrounding it. I made sure I locked my car door and walked around the empty place, trying to find any sign of Taichi.
"Where is he?"
"Hey Mimi! Come over here!"
"Taichi?"
"Yeah! It's me." He was standing behind one of the water fountain, talking to someone. I guess he's not alone. I walked over to Taichi and was attacked by a big hug from my two Digimon friends.
"Palmon? Agumon? What are you guys doing here?"
"We came to visit you of course!" said Agumon cheerfully. "Koushiro set us a portal for us to come."
"When did you guys get here?" I asked them.
"An hour ago at Taichi's house," said Palmon as she gently parted after giving me the big hug I wasn't expecting.
"Mimi. Can I talk to you for a second?" asked Taichi and Palmon and Agumon looked up at him. "Oh don't worry. It won't take long."
"Sure. I'll be right back guys." Taichi and I walked away from Agumon and Palmon and went near another fountain.
Silence took over and we were standing next to each other, speechless. I stared at the water flowing in the water fountain, wishing that the silence would soon go away.
"Mimi. Im sorry about... everything. I guess you know that Yolei and I broke up. Right?" I left my gaze from the water and stared up at him, surprised my wish actually came true. Well, it wasn't really like a wish but... Ugh! I talking to myself in my mind again!
"Yeah," I answered him.
"Well one of the reason why I broke up with her was because I love someone else."
"And your telling me this because...?"
Tai stuffed his hands in his jean pocket, looking slightly nervous. "Because you are the one that I love."
Silence took over again.
My gaze fell back to the water, unable to look at him in the eyes. "You're not serious... are you?"
"Im telling the truth."
"No, but you can't love me."
Tai took his hands out of his pocket and looked at me questioningly. "Mimi... Why not?"
"We were never meant to be... Besides, you once choose my friend over me. How am I suppose to know you won't do that again?" Tears began welling up my eyes but I dare not let them fall. I never liked showing my tears but I had done that last night at the party and I hope to never do that again. They made me seem and feel weak and helpless.
"Im sorry Mimi, but I can't change the past. Mimi, please forgive me. I need you."
Tai gently hugged me as my tears finally broke loose. At first I tried to move away but my heart whispered to me that I shouldn't.
"You know what? Just forget about what I just told you. I don't want to hurt you anymore. Let's go, Im sure Agumon and Palmon are waiting for us," he said to me and he parted away and began walking away... from my life.
I can't loose him again. I just... can't!
"Taichi! Wait. Don't leave me." Taichi turned his body so he was now facing me. "I need you."
"Mimi. Do you forgive me?" he asked once again.
I nodded my head. "Yes. I forgive you."
With a smile, he slowly walked up to me and hugged me tightly. I hugged him back, not wanting to let go.
"I love you, Mimi."
"I love you too." Than he pulled me away slightly as we faced each other. The tears in my eyes finally came to a stop as our lips came closer and closer...
"Come on! Let's go home!" Before our lips met, Agumon and Palmon jumped on top of us, demanding that we go home.
"It's cold out here," said Palmon and she dragged me and Taichi back to the car with Agumon beside her.
With a sigh, I glanced at Taichi who smiled gently. I smiled back at him also, knowing that everything would be just fine now.

"Well, ok. I'll see you later." She gave out a smile and waved her hand as she slowly dragged Mr. Kitashi away with her.

"Yeah. I'm alright."

--------------------------------------
It was Sunday morning and the light of the sun pecked though the white curtain, which told me it was time to get up. When I opened my eyes and tried to stand up, my back felt as if I was hit by a car. I looked around and saw a television, a small table and two sofas. I was in the living room.
I guess I had fallen asleep on the sofa after I got home from the party. I stretched my arms and saw some bruises on my arm. It was from Michael, who had grabbed my arm tightly last night to take me with him.

"Yolei..."
"Mimi. Can you ever forgive me? I know I did a lot of bad things in my life but..."
"It's okay Yolei... I forgive you."
"Thanks. I was afraid that you wouldn't. I missed you being my friend. Here." She handed me a small letter. "Taichi wanted me to give this letter to you this morning after we broke up. I didn't open it or anything..."
"Thanks."

Somehow I felt much better when I got home. I didn't open the letter yet because I was afraid that it might say something that I didn't want to know. Well, I have to open it up sooner or later so why not now.

"Palmon? Agumon? What are you guys doing here?"
"We came to visit you of course!" said Agumon cheerfully. "Koushiro set us a portal for us to come."
"When did you guys get here?" I asked them.
"An hour ago at Taichi's house," said Palmon as she gently parted after giving me the big hug I wasn't expecting.
"Mimi. Can I talk to you for a second?" asked Taichi and Palmon and Agumon looked up at him. "Oh don't worry. It won't take long."
"Sure. I'll be right back guys." Taichi and I walked away from Agumon and Palmon and went near another fountain.
Silence took over and we were standing next to each other, speechless. I stared at the water flowing in the water fountain, wishing that the silence would soon go away.
"Mimi. Im sorry about... everything. I guess you know that Yolei and I broke up. Right?" I left my gaze from the water and stared up at him, surprised my wish actually came true. Well, it wasn't really like a wish but... Ugh! I talking to myself in my mind again!
"Yeah," I answered him.
"Well one of the reason why I broke up with her was because I love someone else."
"And your telling me this because...?"
Tai stuffed his hands in his jean pocket, looking slightly nervous. "Because you are the one that I love."
Silence took over again.
My gaze fell back to the water, unable to look at him in the eyes. "You're not serious... are you?"
"Im telling the truth."
"No, but you can't love me."
Tai took his hands out of his pocket and looked at me questioningly. "Mimi... Why not?"
"We were never meant to be... Besides, you once choose my friend over me. How am I suppose to know you won't do that again?" Tears began welling up my eyes but I dare not let them fall. I never liked showing my tears but I had done that last night at the party and I hope to never do that again. They made me seem and feel weak and helpless.
"Im sorry Mimi, but I can't change the past. Mimi, please forgive me. I need you."
Tai gently hugged me as my tears finally broke loose. At first I tried to move away but my heart whispered to me that I shouldn't.
"You know what? Just forget about what I just told you. I don't want to hurt you anymore. Let's go, Im sure Agumon and Palmon are waiting for us," he said to me and he parted away and began walking away... from my life.
I can't loose him again. I just... can't!
"Taichi! Wait. Don't leave me." Taichi turned his body so he was now facing me. "I need you."
"Mimi. Do you forgive me?" he asked once again.
I nodded my head. "Yes. I forgive you."
With a smile, he slowly walked up to me and hugged me tightly. I hugged him back, not wanting to let go.
"I love you, Mimi."
"I love you too." Than he pulled me away slightly as we faced each other. The tears in my eyes finally came to a stop as our lips came closer and closer...
"Come on! Let's go home!" Before our lips met, Agumon and Palmon jumped on top of us, demanding that we go home.
"It's cold out here," said Palmon and she dragged me and Taichi back to the car with Agumon beside her.
With a sigh, I glanced at Taichi who smiled gently. I smiled back at him also, knowing that everything would be just fine now.
