Blind Date Disaster

Summary: There are two kinds of blind dates. One is where you hit off perfectly, get hitched and ride away to the sunset. The other is when you end up hating each other's guts and pray never to see each other again. Guess what? My blind date was the latter. Daikeru, Taito

Chapter Three: Surprises

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Hikari was looking from Takeru to Daisuke, who were avoiding each other's eyes. Something was definitely wrong in this picture. "So…you've met," she said slowly, watching them very closely. She decided to ask the decisive question. "How?" That did it. The two of them quickly changed the subject.

"Haha, Kari-chan, it's not important," Daisuke said, forcing a cheerful smile. "What were we talking about before? Something about Tai? Yeah, where were we about your crazy older brother?"

Takeru joined in. "Yeah, Hikari, how's Tai doing?" They both smiled as cheerfully as they could.

Kari looked at them suspiciously. Something was going on. What it was, she didn't know, but she would find out.

But maybe later.

She decided she would play along for a while. Besides, she wanted the three of them to be friends! And maybe she could even potentially hook them up. They would be so cute together—like her brother Tai and Yamato! Just that they would be the mini-version. "Tai's doing okay. But if you want to know more, Takeru, you should ask Daisuke. After all, they're roommates now."

Takeru forced himself to turn to Daisuke and smile. "So, how is Taichi doing?" We are NOT telling Hikari about that stupid date.

"Oh, he's fine. He's a junior now, probably the same year as your brother." Of course we WON'T. Why would we?

"Yeah, he is." Okay. It's agreed, then. Another thing—shall we kill Tai and Yamato later?

"That's good then." I'm with you there.

The two of them smiled at one another, before narrowing their eyes and glaring at the ceiling. Hikari blinked. What was wrong with this two?

"Let's all sit together!" She suggested brightly, after a minute of uncomfortable silence passed. She dragged them to sit next to one another and she sat in front of them. She turned around. "Is this okay?"

"Yeah."

"Sure."

Hikari was about to say something else, but their teacher entered and she was forced to look forward and begin listening.

Daisuke and Takeru, however, were not listening. Instead, they were planning the thirteen different ways they were going to—painfully—kill Taichi and Yamato.

VVV

The bell for lunch started ringing. Hikari started gathering her bag and noticed that Daisuke and Takeru were already halfway out of the door. "Hey guys! Where's the rush?"

The two stopped, as if remembering Kari still existed. "Oh…Kari…" Daisuke laughed nervously. "Just excited to see Tai again…" his eyes narrowed. "And Yamato, of course."

"Yeah, can't wait to see my brother," Takeru added, his expression of loathing matching Daisuke's. "C'mon, let's go."

And two of them ran straight to the cafeteria, and Hikari quickly ran after them. In a few minutes were already at the table where her brother Tai and his friends were hanging out. Tai and Matt turned into a considerable shade of green when they saw Takeru and Daisuke with one another.

"Hello, brother dearest," Takeru said, his eyes narrowed as he grabbed one arm of Yamato. "Can we talk? In private?"

"That's goes for you and me too, Taichi-kun," Daisuke added, voice dripping with venom. "Let's go." And the two younger boys grabbed their respective counterparts and stalked away.

Hikari turned to all the other people in the table, who were shaking their heads sympathetically. "What's was that all about?"

Mimi and Sora exchanged glances. "Well…"

VVV

"NO WAY!" Yamato and Taichi cringed as they heard Hikari's disbelieving gasp from the deserted hallway where Takeru and Daisuke had dragged them. Uh oh…looks like they've clued her in…

Takeru turned to his brother fiercely, still gripping his arm, which Yamato believed had officially died and would have to go through cell regeneration after he amputated it. "Eh…TK, please don't kill me…"

"Oh, I won't," TK gritted out, tightening his grip. Yamato sneaked a half-glance at his boyfriend; Daisuke had somehow gotten a large cutter from somewhere and was menacingly holding it in front of Taichi, who was cowering next to the row of lockers. He feared for his friend. "Don't worry about Tai, Nii-chan, what you're going to experience is worse than his. I'll torture you so bad you won't feel your body for a month." And he cracked his knuckles.

Meanwhile, Tai was trying to camouflage himself with the lockers. "Dai, w-we're friends, right?" he asked shakily as Daisuke advanced on him, cutter on hand.

Daisuke snorted. "Oh yeah, Tai, we're real close pals," he said sarcastically. "Friends who drag their friends to blind dates. Who also conveniently forgets to tell their friend that my worst blind date ever happens to be his new schoolmate."

"Er…" Tai looked around helplessly. Yamato was now cornered; Takeru was glaring at him evilly. Uh oh…didn't his boyfriend mention something about his brother being a black belter…? "Dai, I didn't know the date would go badly—honest! Please don't hurt me!" he begged.

Daisuke smirked at him. "Too late, Tai."

VVV

Hikari was blown away by the information he had just received thanks to Mimi, Sora, Jyou and Koushiro. "So that means…"

Mimi nodded. "TK and Dai are probably killing those two right now."

Sora shook her head. "It serves them right, but I can't help but feel sorry for them. I mean…they shouldn't meddle with relationships, but they've got good intentions in it, don't they?"

A loud scream echoed from the hallway.

"…" They all exchanged panicked looks.

"Maybe we should go check up on them before there's bloodshed," Jyou suggested.

They all nodded and dashed for where they saw Daisuke and Takeru go to while dragging Taichi and Yamato.

VVV

Daisuke and Takeru were sitting on either side of Hikari during their Health class. It was their class after lunch, and both boys were in stormy moods. The teacher still hadn't arrived, so she decided to play peacemaker.

"So…" she began, wondering how she could start a conversation between the two. "I heard there are some good movies playing in the theater. I was thinking maybe—"

"Oh, I would just love to watch a movie, Kari," Takeru said, smiling at her.

"Just not with him," Daisuke muttered.

Kari winced. Uh-oh…strike one.

Takeru turned to him, eyes narrowed. "I'm sorry that we don't like the same stuff."

"I'm not," the other retorted.

The blonde clenched his fists. "Now that I think about it, neither am I," he snarled.

Strike two.

"All right, how about—" she tried to prevent the inevitable explosion.

"In fact, I see absolutely no reason to feel bad about the fact that we have nothing in common at all," Takeru continued, ignoring Hikari's feeble attempt to stop him from talking.

"Yeah, it's great, isn't it?" agreed Daisuke coolly, but his eyes were already reflecting the true anger in them. "That way, I won't have to spend time with you at all."

Strike three. YOU'RE OUT!

Hikari squeezed her eyes shut and ducked underneath the table, barely avoiding Takeru's unrestrained punch straight for Daisuke's face. Which hit the mark perfectly.

The brunette stood up, eyes flashing. "If you wanted a fight, you could have just said so!" he yelled just as punched Takeru back.

"I would have thought you could have read between my lines, but I guess you were too stupid to understand it!" he yelled back, and then they began a fist-fight. This attracted the attention of the rest of class, and chaos began.

"What is happening here!"

Hikari looked up to realize their Health teacher had just arrived, and was in shock at the disarray her class had become. "Why are you two fighting? Separate, now!" Instantly the two stopped punching each other, but they continued glaring at each other.

"All right then…everyone, back to their seats." The teacher went to the front of the classroom. "I would to mention the fact that I will not tolerate fighting in this classroom, even when I'm not here." She put her hands on her hips. "Everyone will be friends in this class."

Daisuke snorted. Takeru rolled his eyes. Hikari sighed.

"Our first topic for this semester will be First Aid—" Hikari stopped paying attention to the teacher to glare at the two beside her. Seeing that Daisuke was still foaming at the mouth (figuratively, of course), she wisely decided to deal with Takeru first.

"What possessed you to do that?" she whispered. "Daisuke, I understand…he has a pretty quick temper. But you, TK? You even started it!"

"He was taunting me, Kari!" Takeru was on the defensive. He was also pretty hurt. Was she taking Daisuke's side? She was supposed to be his best friend! "And you heard what he said—it wasn't nice at all. If someone said that to you—"

"I would just ignore them," Hikari interrupted. "I don't know exactly what happened between you two, but you can always start again. Dai is a nice guy once you get to know him. Maybe you two just got started at the wrong foot."

"Maybe we were supposed to know each other with the wrong foot," Takeru muttered. "I can't imagine liking the guy, Kari. It's like we're destined to hate one another."

"Don't be silly, TK…" she frowned. "How can you believe something like that?"

"I just hate him. It's like…like…" he fumbled for a word to use, "…animosity. Yeah, that's it. You see him and you realize you hate him so much you want to kill him. I laid my eyes on him and I just disliked him."

"I heard that…" Daisuke muttered from the other side of Hikari. Luckily, Takeru didn't hear him.

"Motomiya! Takaishi!" The two snapped up. "You two were the ones fighting earlier, right?"

The two rolled their eyes before glaring at one another and nodding at the teacher.

She smirked wickedly. "I see you that you are on less-than-civil terms with each other. And that's unacceptable in my class."

"What are you going to do about it?" Daisuke asked her curiously.

"You two will do a report on CPR," she informed them. "A week from now. Be sure to demonstrate it. All right, class dismissed!" Then she left the room.

Takeru was shocked. "Isn't CPR…"

"…artificial respiration…?" Daisuke finished for him.

They both slapped their foreheads. "Oh shit."

VVV

Sorry for the very late update. I got caught up in school and my YGO fic and my latest, my FF7 fic. Read them also, if you want…

And thus, the plot begins. Will Daisuke and Takeru continue hating each other? Will Yamato and Taichi survive to live another day? Will Kari ever get peace to prevail between the two? Is the Health teacher secretly evil and plotting something?

R&R!
