Author's notes:
-_-;; Okay... I took my time figuring this thing out. ^_^ I hope it corresponds with the previous parts. Sorry that it took a long time for me to update this. I had been busy with other fanfics and new ideas and even new anime/manga. ^_^;; So go on and read...
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
In a classroom during lunch.
Students shoved around just to get out of class and run into the lunchroom. They were definitely hungry right then.
Sora was sitting in a corner, scribbling down some important notes in her new school diary.
Mr. Ishida had definitely provided her some new school materials and they were all decorated with... flowers. All sorts of flowers. Lavenders were the most noticeable. She wondered why _ probably Mr. Ishida's favorite flowers. But wasn't his favorite the red roses? Maybe he was just guessing they might translate her personality or feelings.
The school had the usual rules like her previous one. The only thing that's a bit different is signing up for one of the extra curriculum groups. It's like a must need registration. Art seemed appealing, sport too... heck even music, computer and writing for the school newspaper. [1]
Someone leaned over across her table as Sora faintly smelled peach. Peaches are good.
"Hey, you must be the new girl everyone is talking about"
Sora looked up, startled by the sudden approach.
"Y-yes... I think" She added the last few words just in case...
The girl just smiled, running her fingers through her fallen long brown hair. Sora just felt at ease once the girl smiled. It was as if she was looking at her best friend from her old school. Her best friend...
"I'm sorry I've startled you. I'm Tachikawa Mimi by the way. You seem to be a nice girl"
Sora arched an eyebrow. Looks can be deceiving, especially those whom you can't 'read'. 'Read' as in trying to 'feel' if they have bad intentions. But then again no one can be sure of other's intentions just by looking.
Mimi just chuckled and leaned over Sora's work.
"The others are kind of jealous because of your flowery accessories. They think they have some meanings just by buying certain sorts of flowery stuff"
The other looked confused as Mimi smiled faintly.
"I take that you've no idea girls here can be so... superstitious or something when it comes to certain nature collections."
//Eh? What is she talking about? Did Mr. Ishida just picked out the beautiful flowery accessories by accident?//
"How did they know I'm new around here?" Sora looked thoughtful as she recalled having heard Mimi's first attempt to speak to her.
"Because of the way you look and walk I guess"
Mimi shrugged and clasped her hands together. Suddenly Mimi laughed out loud after staring at the confused Sora. It was surprisingly a nice laughter_more like hearing twinkles from bells. "I lied. I just wanted to know where you got those roses" Mimi pointed at Sora's new notebooks.
Sora blinked "Huh?"
The more Mimi talked to her, the more she got confused. //What's she implying?//
Mimi beamed and pointed at Sora's notebooks.
"I noticed you had a lot of flowery accessories once you got into class. You and I are in the same History class. And special red roses are my favorites. I've been searching for things related to red roses ever since their meaning and beauty fascinated me. I couldn't find the notebooks though..." She eyed Sora's new notebooks wishfully and sighed.
For a moment they sat in silence, both of them were deep in their thoughts_even if they didn't notice it. Sora observed Mimi for a while. Mimi had long brown hair, which really gave out peach scents. She'd red eyes_much like hers and pale smooth skin that contrasted to Sora's own tanned skin. Mimi really reminded her of her best friend from her old school. The air, which she gave away, was comforting.
"You can have them if you want. Besides they're still new..." Sora broke the silence. Mimi's eyes sparkled as she beamed hopefully at Sora.
"Really? You mean it?"
//Gee... she must be really obsessed with red roses// Sora smiled faintly and picked out the notebooks in question. She pushed them towards Mimi, whose smile brightened every minute. How strange can people be whenever they get what they really want?
"ARIGATOU!!" Mimi sang out and hugged the notebooks. "You don't know how much these red roses mean to me" She beamed at Sora, who was still trying to digest an over-obsessive feeling of being so into red roses. She wondered why someone like Mimi was so into red roses. Maybe she's the romantic type... longing for true love?
"Uhm... how did this..." Sora waved her hand around to express the whole situation she wanted to ask. "... love for red roses begin, Tachikawa-san?"
Mimi smiled and put down the notebooks. Her eyes held a distant look as she looked down at her clasped hands.
//Sora's eyes hold curiosity// Mimi noted and sighed unconsciously.
"It's a childhood obsession. I don't remember when, but I'm sure it was around grade school when I was still unaware of my surroundings. I've this bad sense of direction. I mean really, really bad sense of direction. I often wander around and get lost.
Whenever I got lost I cried, because this empty feeling wouldn't go away. Then there's this special someone who always came to look for me. He always notices whenever I was gone or lost. He would say the sweetest things to me and give me flowers.
Red roses of course. He said it has this meaning that fits his feelings for me and might make me happy because it always made him happy. Back then I never knew what he meant, but it definitely made me happy once he reassured me that it could make me happy.
He disappeared without a trace after I turned 9. He never did contact me afterwards. But even so... I still hold his happiness in me whenever I go search for more red roses." Mimi chuckled lightly as she flushed, feeling so embarrassed. It almost told her that she had a childhood crush. But it wasn't she noted, because she couldn't recall having fuzzy feelings for that boy.
"Mother always teases me about the red roses because she thinks they are romantic. I never knew what red roses meant until I started getting too curious about meanings of this flower and that flower... and the meaning was definitely worth of making me happy"
Mimi stopped abruptly and smiled sadly. Her eyes began to sting and her vision got watery. It's as if she could faintly feel the burning in her chest that was supposed to be there back then and not now. So why crying now...
"I know it's weird, but I guess it doesn't matter anyways. He might never come back..." The tone she used was soft, wishful and yet heartbreakingly.
Sora strained her ears to hear the last sentence and sighed inwardly.
//Definitely a childhood crush//
"Cheer up. Maybe he's just around the corner waiting for the right opportunity to strike" Sora blinked at her sudden word choice. Since when was so into giving advices to people with love problems when she herself never got the opportunity to love someone differently. She waved away her confusion and handed Mimi her handkerchief.
Mimi smiled faintly and wiped away the tears.
"The irony is that I've forgotten how he looks like..."
"That bad, huh?" a new voice said sympathetically.
Both girls blinked and looked up at the source of the new voice. Someone was eavesdropping...
"Taichi-san" Sora blinked again. "What are you doing here?"
"Had been looking for you, Sora. But found ya here anyways" He answered as he shot his innocent eyes at Mimi's directions.
Taichi was sitting across Sora's desk, holding a bag of popcorn. He seemed to be listening intently. The look on his face was like concentrating on one target, Sora noted. He shoved some popcorn into his mouth as if watching a good movie. In this case; listening to a certain someone's story.
"Don't let me stop you. Go on... what happened afterwards?" Taichi waved good-heartedly at Mimi as he shoved some more popcorn into his mouth.
Mimi's lips twitch in a small smile as her face flushed. She felt uncomfortable to share something like that to a guy, especially when it's about her obsession for red roses. Sometimes it's too embarrassing to even tell. She just felt like telling Sora. It just felt right to tell Sora about the reason.
"Nothing. It's the end..." she whispered and looked wishfully at her new notebooks.
"At least she's one of the very few girls who aren't flinging themselves into Yamato's arms" Taichi whispered into Sora's ear as he munches on his popcorns. He was still looking expectantly at Mimi, maybe she might get a chance to find the guy_whoever he might be.
Sora scowled as her eyes darkened. Why must Taichi mention that name at the moment of being understanding? Or was is appreciative of hearing about someone's crush.
"Aren't you going to accompany your FRIEND?" Sora hissed as she shot him a glare. The glare was actually not really meant for Taichi since the guy was so nice enough to even escort her around. She just felt like it, glaring whenever Yamato is mentioned.
Taichi ignored the glare. He knew pretty well she didn't mean to glare at him. He looked at the notebooks, as if interested into red roses and popped some more popcorns into his mouth.
"Can't. His fans are chasing him. And Yamato-fans are quite scary"
Sora opened her mouth to say something, but was quickly cut off when Mimi exclaimed.
"So you're Ishida-kun's best friend" Mimi realized as she blinked at Taichi. Taichi nodded as he munches on his popcorn again.
"Yeah... what's up?" He flashed her a grin and reached out to pick up the notebooks.
"Nothing... just surprised that you and Takenouchi-san are being so familiar with each other" Mimi smiled as she looked at Sora. "Well, I've got to go eat... I'm starving. Oh! By the way Takenouchi-san, you can have my peach blossomed notebooks since I'll be using yours. Peach has a nice odor, you know?" Mimi added quickly as she stood up. Sora nodded in agreement and smiled at Mimi, remembering that she reminded her of a certain best friend.
Mimi passed her peach blossomed notebooks to Sora and waved good-bye afterwards. She disappeared around the corner while hugging the Sora's notebooks closely.
"Interesting topic" Taichi broke their silence as he put away the empty bag, which was once filled with popcorn. Sora eyed him playfully and leaned forward to talk in privacy.
"So... you like what you see or hear?"
Taichi flushed. [2]
*~*~*~*~*
Yamato was walking around, searching for his best friend.
//Where the heck is that guy?//
He frowned and ignored all the flirting signs the girls were throwing in his way. Taichi had promised to stay close so that they might go for a plan C since plan B didn't quite work like he'd expected. His soon-to-be-wife got the nerves to be so 'nice' in a nature that made him wanted to barf.
//Where the heck is he?!!!//
He'd searched the usual places where Taichi might hang around: in the gardens, among the schoolyard, mingling with other friends, the halls even the classrooms. So where can this guy be?
Yamato walked past one of the doors, namely the door which leads to a very dark library. Taichi would never be in the library during lunch since he hated to be around old books and scrolls, especially when libraries tended to be a bit creepy. So that counted the library out.
So what about the gym building?
But unknown to Yamato, inside the library there was a certain brown-haired guy leaving through a thick book: "Flowers encyclopedia" [3]. Taichi was buried between a whole pile of books as he leaved through its content. He frowned a few times as his eyes scanned the information.
The book provided him a lot of information about certain flowers. Flowers that held some hidden meanings in the literature world or whatever world they might be. Heck! Maybe even in the flower world? Who knows!
Most photos and info in the books were wild flowers: excentric-looking flowers and hard-to-reach flowers.
"Intriguing" He whispered as he read on.
//But not enough for my plan. Better get them home to study more about these sorts of beauties//
He scanned scanned the other titles of books about flowers and mountained them upon each other. He closed the book which he was studying a minute ago and piled it upon the others. Taichi slowly carried the heavy books to the librarian.
The librarian looked up, surprise was written all over her face. Yagami Taichi never likes to read!! Even if the teacher forces everyone to make a book report. So why such a big pile? Something must have gone wrong. She frowned suspiciously at him through her thick, reading glasses.
Taichi smiled sheepishly at her and placed the books on the counter.
"I like to check these books out, Mrs. Miyuki" He said calmly.
She picked out her stamp and eyed him from the corners of her eyes. "So... since when has the great Yagami Taichi started getting interested in books? Encyclopedia about flowers, eh?" She began stamping the date of return in every second page of the book.
Taichi smiled when he noticed the playful tone in her question. "Someone had given me inspiration to look some flowers up!" He answered truthfully. "Red Carnation suits thy personally"
He cheered inwardly when the librarian stopped in her tracks. She shot her head up to look straight at him. Her eyes were penetrating his innocent brown ones. There's no doubt she was definitely affected by Taichi's comment. The twinkle in her eyes told Taichi she definitely knew what he meant with the flower.
"Have a nice day, Yagami-san" she smiled sweetly at him as she piled the last book upon the rest. The boy had potential, she stated silently.
He smiled back and picked up the pile. He was glad his memory didn't fail him this time. He'd read about Carnations a few minutes ago and he kind of thought they looked pretty. Taichi was definitely amazed he had memorized the meanings of the which color the flower can attribute.
"Well, I guess I can start studying this intriguing subject of flowers later" He said faintly to himself.
He closed the library door ever so carefully and turned around with a smile.
"What's up with the books?"
>.>.>.>.
End chapter 9b
1: I know nothing about school newspaper -_-;;
2: Err... I suppose it's not really going to the Taichi+Mimi pairing. Because I didn't plan on pairing them together.
3: Name whatever you like. ^-^ There are tons of flower books.
Rizza426: I'm sorry to disappoint you Rizza, I've to put the plot back together. The new idea was deleted and put up as a side-fic called "Mayhem". I might continue that strange fic :) But anyways... I hope you're not angry with this chapter ;_; but thanks for telling me you're still around reading ^_^.
scorpion05: I've deleted the previous chapter 8 and 9 and put them up as a side-fic "Mayhem". I might continue that weird story. Sorry to disappoint the fun you're already having. But I'll try to keep this fic entertaining ^_^. Thanks for reviewing anyways.
oooooooohhhhhhhhhh: ^_^ Good. I just hope I can write all the chapters out as soon as possible so that I won't have to disappoint anyone this long. Thank you for reviewing :) I'm still practicing the writing.
Venursia: Aa... I see >.> I knew my style is a bit rusty. I've read my stories over and over again, the style is still a bit rusty. Just like what you said it's chocolate frosting. I'm still working on a style since description is a bit hard. Especially when I write multiple chapters x_x they can be so hard sometimes. Thanks for pointing that out ^-^ I'll do by best.
LOL: ::blushes:: #^_^# Thank you for reviewing. I'm glad you're still enthusiastic about this story even if I know the whole thing need some rewriting here and there >.> But anyways, I'm glad you find it entertaining.
mattXsora: ^_^ Like I wrote in my notes, luckily "Taste of life" reviewers are honest and supportive. The other idea is just set up as a side-fic "Mayhem". I'm happy you like the original idea and uh... sorry for shocking you. I sometimes didn't think I have a tendency to shock people that awfully. Sorry ^^;;
Author's notes:
How many symbolic stuff have you noticed? I guess it's too straightforward to even notice them. And this is still a boring chapter ;_;. And the stuff with Mimi in this chapter should be a bit easy to figure out the symbolic stuff I'm trying to weave in.
