Chapter 12: Trouble in Paradise

Note: Well I can't say that this story is going to be very long, but what's in it will twist and churn your soul. HAHA, I should have saved that voice for Halloween. Anyway the reason why its sorta short is that my grandfather passed away earlier this week, and the lack of sleep and depression has gotten the best of me. But to all my faithful readers I will say this, the Christmas story will be double-sized and it will have some of the repercussions of this story in it. So as always if you're under eighteen, might I suggest you go hide your head under a pillow and dream sweet dreams of childhood, then when you turn eighteen read it and enjoy.

It was going to be their second date, and it couldn't have been a prettier day. The sun was high in the sky; the sky was a bright blue, not a cloud in the sky, though a very light wind came through, just enough to chill the bones if you weren't wearing a coat. It was such a perfect day, nothing could spoil it...

But of course we all know that that cant happen.

Daisuke climbed the stairs over Takeru's apartment, not wanting to get too close to it, he half expected to hear Hikari's voice inside it, his heart still panged every time he was near her. But never again he thought, he had a girl now, and he wasn't about to allow himself to think about past regrets while he was with her, she completed him like no one had done before. He approached the door and knocked politely...

No answer...

He glanced down at his D-3, it wad 11:00, he was on time (for the first time in his life it seemed). Where was she? He knocked on the door again, this time a little louder...still no answer. Maybe something happened with her parents, or maybe she had to work this morning and forget about their date. He would swing by their store on the way back home.

He started to walk back down the hall to the elevator, but stopped when he heard the creak of the door as it was slowly opened.

"Dai...Daisuke?"

"Miyako, what's going on? Did you forget about our date?"

"Our date? Oh Daisuke I'm sorry but..."

"But she decided to stay in" A boy's voice answered from behind her. Ken appeared behind her, a grin was plastered on his face from ear to ear as he placed a hand on Miyako's shoulder.

Daisuke's face faltered, his smile fell as he hung his head down. He turned and walked away

"Daisuke, please don't be mad"

Daisuke threw up his hand, signaling them that he heard. He then heard a rush of footsteps and then a door shutting

"Please Dai, don't be mad at me"

Daisuke turned to look Miyako. He tried to smile but it fell short to become a weak grimace.

"I'm not mad, just a little upset"

"I am sorry Daisuke, but he called then he came over and we talked and stuff"

"Oh and I suppose that kiss the other night at the arcade was nothing then..."

"I'm..."

"Don't you fucking say you're sorry"

Daisuke's voice quivered and raised an octave

"Please Daisuke..."

"He just wants you for sex..."

"But you know I..."

"And when he gets what he wants he will leave"

"I am NOT going to sleep with him"

"Whatever"

"Please, don't act like this. I value your friendship to much"

Tears welled in Miyako's eyes, the pooled there for a minute and then rolled down her cheeks

"Well this is a Hell of a way to show me that"

He pushed the button to call the elevator, when it arrived and the doors opened there stood Iori, he was standing near the back quiet as a mouse he spoke

"Hey guys what's up"

Daisuke's eyes cut to Iori

"Hey Iori, look Miyako when you realize who you want to be with, you find me and let me know"

Daisuke punched the button for the lobby and the doors slid shut, cutting off Daisuke and Iori from the crying Miyako

In the elevator...

"So Iori, wanna go to the arcade?"

"Sure, what's wrong with Miyako?"

"Nothing, women huh?"

"Yeah, I guess so"

Meanwhile...

Michael had been wandering the streets of Odiba. He had stopped by his parent's apartment; he was looking for Janet to go over with him to the Kamiya's but like usual she was nowhere to be found. He followed Koushiro's directions instead, they were so detailed that he didn't need to look at his D-3 once. He climbed the stairs to Taichi's apartment. As he got nearer and nearer to the door, he noticed two girls standing over an open door

"What are they doing Michael?"

"I don't know Terriermon, they might not be Digi-friendly, so you might want to hide"

"Ok"

Michael continued down the hall

"What happened?" the younger girl asked

"I called and talked to him, then suddenly the line went dead," the older girl said

The younger girl giggled, "Dora I think you killed him"

"Hikari that's not funny"

Michael stopped short. Sora? Hikari? The Odiba destines. As he got closer to the door Hikari stood and gasped, this handsome young man appeared out of nowhere

"Hi I'm Michael, I'm a destine from America"

Hikari blushed

"I'm Hikari, that lump on the floor is my brother Taichi, and the girl next to him is his fiancée Sora"

Sora glanced up and nodded. Hikari moved slowly, looking at Michael, he was tall and slender, not quite skinny but not quite fat. He had a handsome face, and those eyes. She saw something familiar in those eyes. She was getting a strange feeling in her stomach, she wanted Michael, wanted him quite badly, but what about Takeru?

Michael couldn't help but stare at Hikari; she was beautiful, her slender legs reached up under her short, her face, and the way her hair was pinned primly to her head. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

Terriermon popped his head out of Michael's backpack, ending the staring session between Hikari and Michael

"Lets eat"

The three of them laughed merrily. Taichi stirred and woke up

"What is going on?" he said groggily

It was just another normal day...
