A/N: with a few changes here's the revamped version of chapter one. Enjoy!
Chapter 1
Tai couldn't help it he slumped to his right letting his head rest on someone's shoulder. The person whose shoulder now that was occupied by Tai's head didn't seemed to mind. Tai took a glance at the person hoping they weren't irritated and found that the person was smiling. Tai smiled at the person and snuggled in closer making the person blush slightly.
If he snuggles any closer to me I think I'm going to explode the person thought
"Sora, what's got you so flushed?" Tai asked looking up
The person, Sora had to blink twice to get her mind back and when she did she shook her head and told Tai that it was nothing and with that Tai went back to snoozing on her shoulder.
What am I ever going to do with him? Sora thought as she shook her head at her best friend
When the bell rang Tai gave a big yawn and stretched. He got up and with Sora by his side they went off to their next class. Both Tai and Sora are students at Tokyo University and take a lot of the same classes.
--
After classes were done with the two headed back to the apartment they shared. It didn't seemed strange at all for them to live together since they both lived at each other's houses when they were younger it just seemed natural. And since Matt broke up with Sora a month earlier Tai thought it would be best if they lived together so she wouldn't be alone during the break-up period.
Tai set his things on a random chair as Sora put her stuff in her room. Tai went and checked the answering machine for messages and Sora went to the kitchen to grab some snacks. So was the routine they did when they were both at home, but it changed when either worked.
"Here you go Tai" Sora said handing Tai one of the snacks she grabbed
"Thanks" Tai said taking one of the snacks and sitting down on the couch
The two sat watching TV to ease their minds from school. Sora ended up falling asleep and Tai looked at her sleeping form and smiled. He's had a thing his best friend since he first was attracted to girls, but he didn't make a move on her because he was too afraid of destroying something special and now he couldn't because he didn't want to betray a friend. He sighed got up grabbed the empty snack bags, threw them in the trash and went to take a shower.
Sora was shifting in her sleep trying to get comfortable. Her dreams were mysterious since in them there was a soccer ball and laughter, which didn't make any sense. She tossed and turned some more until she woke and found Tai was nowhere to be seen. She first thought he went out and she looked in the kitchen for a note, but found none. She was going to head to his bedroom next when he walked out drying his hair and talking to himself. They crashed into each other.
"Hey Sora, how was your nap?" Tai asked still drying his hair
"It was okay, so what were you muttering about before?" Sora asked rubbing her head
"I was wondering what to make for dinner tonight" Tai said
Sora smiled since she loved Tai's cooking. Sure when she was dating Matt he was a good cook also, but he didn't have the talent like Tai did that made his food so good. Maybe it was because if you wanted any good food in his house when you was younger you'd have to learn how to cook. Sora could feel her mouth water at what Tai might make that she missed his question.
"Huh, what did you say Tai?" Sora asked snapping out her trance
"I asked 'what do you want for dinner?'" Tai reiterated
"Oh, well I think I'd like some Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo that sounds good" Sora said
"Your wish is my command" Tai said with a bow and went to the kitchen
As Tai began working his magic Sora grabbed her homework and began working on it. She was making good progress on it when Tai called to eat she jumped up from here spot and went to the kitchen inhaling the intoxicating aroma.
"Sora, you're drooling, you know" Tai said with a chuckle
"Sorry Tai, but your cooking so good I can't help it" Sora said wiping her mouth
Tai smiled as they both sat and ate in silence.
"So Tai, how is Kari doing?" Sora asked breaking the silence
"She's doing fine, but Davis is getting on her nerves since she hasn't yet decided" Tai said
"She hasn't chosen who she wants to be with?!" Sora said shocked
Tai nodded
"I feel bad for TK, because I don't think he can wait any longer" Sora said solemnly
"I wouldn't worry about him that much" Tai said with a smirk
Sora quirked an eyebrow silently asking 'what are you talking about?'
Tai smirked and said, "I was wondering if it would be alright if he could stay here for a bit, you know to get his mind off things"
"Tai, we can't because Kari is also coming to visit, remember?" Sora said
"I know" Tai replied with the same smirk
It took Sora a few seconds to understand what Tai was getting at, but when she did she smirked also.
"Tai, you haven't changed a bit" Sora said
It was a fact that Tai has been trying to get his little sister, Kari and her best friend, TK together for a long time even dragging his friends into the scheme though Sora always voluntarily.
Sora sighed thinking of all the plans Tai tried and ended up failing.
"Tai, how are you sure that this will work, what if Davis shows up?" Sora asked
"I got that cover he's going up with his folks to his grandparents for two weeks that should give us more than enough time, but if it doesn't Yolei and Cody will give me a call" Tai explained
Sora couldn't believe it looked like Tai had a perfect plan, but she knew that he'd have to have her in it to make it perfect.
"Well I think you've out done yourself this time Tai" Sora said smiling
"So does that mean you're in?" Tai asked nervously
Sora pretended to think about just to watch Tai squirm a bit.
"I'm in"
Tai smiled and they began to plan what to do when they got their victims.
--
Few days later Kari arrived to spent a week with him and Sora though little did she know that TK would show a little later.
"Hey Kar, how are you?" Tai asked giving his sister a hug
"I'm good Tai, it feels good to be away from all the stress" Kari said returning the hug
"Come on Kari, let's get you settled" Sora said leading Kari into the small guest room. Tai smiled and checked his watch hoping TK would arrive soon. He heard a knock on the door and Tai went hoping it was TK. When he opened the door there stood TK smiling.
"Hey Tai" TK said
"Teeks, how are you?" Tai asked
"I'm fine, I'm glad you let me stay with you and Sora. It's been pretty stressful with the whole Kari thing that I need to get away and since Matt's away…" TK trailed as he saw the person he needed time away from.
"TK, what are you doing here?" Kari asked as shocked as he was
"I-I asked T-Tai if would be alright i-i-if I stayed here since M-Matt isn't around" TK stuttered
Kari glared at her brother, who was acting quite innocent she then turned back to TK who looked nervous.
"I'm sorry Kari, if I knew you'd be here I'd wouldn't have come, I guess I should go home" TK said with his head down and gathering his stuff
"TK, you don't have to go I think we can both stay here besides it'll be easier without Davis lurking about" Kari said with a smile
TK smiled back and put stuff down and asked, "Where am I going to sleep?"
"You can sleep on the couch if you don't mind?" Sora said making her appearance known
TK thanked Sora and moved his stuff to the living room and put in a spot that wouldn't disrupt anything. Kari smiled and then turned to her brother, who still had an innocent look on his face and sighed. She knew it was his doing and though she didn't like him meddling in her love life she had to give him credit for this plan.
"I'm going to start some lunch, any request?" Tai said breaking the silence
"Grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato basil soup sounds good" Kari suggested
"Any others?" Tai asked
TK and Sora shook their heads and Tai went to the kitchen to start. While Sora, Kari, and TK sat in the living room.
"So I've heard that you've had a stressful time, huh?" Sora asked
"Yeah, Davis has been getting on my nerves making try to me decided on the spot" Kari said
"I'm sorry, but you don't have to worry about here there will be no stress, right TK?" Sora asked with a playful smile
TK smiled playfully back, "I don't know I might ask Kari what's she's decided"
Kari just smiled at TK and he smiled right back each other. Sora noticed this and smiled also noticing the connection they have and reminisced about how she and Tai had the same thing once. It's sort of faded when she dated Matt though it has become stronger lately and probably better than it was before. She so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice Kari trying to get her attention until Kari hit her with a pillow.
"Why did you do that?" Sora asked rubbing her head
"Because you've been in outer space for about a good five minutes" TK said snickering
Sora glared at the two
"So, how have you and Tai been?" Kari asked hoping to make Sora stop glaring
"It's just fine, I don't think I'd survived my first year without Tai by my side it feels like old times" Sora said her glare long gone
"That's great Sora" TK said
The three talked more getting caught up in what was happening in each other's life. TK and Kari are two of the most popular people in school.
--
"Lunch is ready" Tai yelled
The three got up and headed to the kitchen
"Smells good Tai" Kari said as she walked into the kitchen
"Yeah man, I can't wait to taste it" TK said
"You're in luck too, because I think Tai used fresh basil in the tomato soup if I'm right" Sora said
"You got that right Sor, fresh basil I got some while grocery shopping" Tai said
The four of them sat down and ate and told each other what was going on in the gang.
"Yolei and Ken are getting ready to celebrate their anniversary this Thursday and Yolei is expecting a grand thing" Kari said
"Ken told me he's got everything planned out, but won't tell me anything at all because he doesn't want to jinx it" TK said
"Well I hope they have a nice anniversary, oh by the way Izzy and Mimi are coming over this Friday for dinner I hope you guys don't mind, but it's something we do every once an a while so we can keep in touch with each other" Sora said
"I don't think we'd mind, right Kari?" TK said turning to Kari, who shook her head
"I'd love to see Mimi again, it's been a while since I've seen her" Kari said
"I'm sure she'll be happy to see both of you and if I know Meems, she going to make sure Izzy doesn't bring his laptop along" Tai said with a chuckle
"Really, I wonder how she does that?" TK asked surprised
"She has her ways" Tai said mysteriously
"Yeah, it was a tradition we started to keep in touch with one another" Sora said changing the subject
"And for some reason Izzy and Mimi usually are free on the same night" Tai said
"Well that's quite lucky for them to both be free to have dinner" Kari said
"Yeah it is speaking of which I think it's time for us to have another reunion since its been a good year and a half since our last one" TK said
"I think you're right Teeks, we're past due for a reunion. What do you think Sor?" Tai asked
"I think it's time also and besides I'd love to see everyone again" Sora said
"Then it's settled we can talk more about with Izzy and Mimi" Tai said now clearing off the table
After dinner the went back to the living room to get caught up some more.
--
That night after dinner Tai and Sora decided to turn in early mainly Tai since he cooked up a storm for dinner and Sora was stuffed from eating that she needed to rest so that left TK and Kari alone.
"That was a great meal Tai made, he sure knows how to cook" TK said stretching out on the couch
"You don't have to tell me the only good meal I had was when Tai made dinner" Kari said
Both of them had a good laugh at that since they know that Kari's mom isn't a cook at all
"So what do you want to do now?" TK asked
"Why don't we watch a movie?" Kari said
"Okay"
The two made there way over to see what Tai and Sora had for movies.
"How about Troy?" TK suggested
"No, how about The Da Vinci Code?" Kari asked
"Nah, how about Jurassic Park?" TK suggested
"No, oh how about this one Romeo and Juliet?" Kari said
"Really Kar?" TK said quirking his eyebrow
"Come on, you didn't object last time we watched" Kari said
"That's because it was movie night, and it was your choice, this time we both have to have a say" TK said
"So are you saying that you just watched it with me before because I picked it" Kari said pouting a little
"No that's not I-" TK said, but was stopped when Kari started to laugh
TK looked at Kari confused
"I'm sorry TK I just couldn't help it" Kari said as she regained her composure
"Very funny Kar now what are we going to watch" TK said
"Oh fine, well why don't we watch our fail safe movie" Kari said
"That's fine with me" TK said
Kari scanned the shelves for their fail safe movie and when she found it she handed it to TK to put in. They got comfortable on the couch and watched the movie. They were halfway into the movie when Kari fell asleep on TK's shoulder. TK saw this and grabbed the nearest blanket and pulled over Kari so she could be warm. By the end of the movie TK was also asleep resting his head on Kari's.
--
Tai woke up to a sight that he was familiar with. TK and Kari were fast asleep together on the couch. Tai quietly made his way to Sora's room to wake her and show her the scene in the living room.
"Sora, wake up" Tai said nudging Sora
Sora mumbled something about soccer, which confused him, but ignored it for now
"Come on Sor, time to wake up" Tai said again nudging Sora
Again Sora mumbled, but this time about soccer and lots of hair. Tai raised his eyebrow at this, but again ignored it and figured he had to take drastic measures and grabbed the cup of water that was by Sora's bed and dumped the contents on her making her yelp.
"Tai!" Sora shouted
Tai grabbed Sora before she could attack him and held her so she couldn't hurt him painfully and led her into the living room. When they were in the living room Sora stopped struggling and saw TK and Kari sleeping and understood why Tai woke her, but that didn't mean she forgave him.
"Now, can I let go of you?" Tai asked
Sora nodded since Tai had a hand over her mouth
As soon as Tai let go of her she smiled at the two and sighed
"Makes you wish you had a camera doesn't?" Tai said whispered to her
Sora nodded then a light bulb went off in her head and she rushed to her room as quickly and quietly as she could and came back with a camera in hand.
"Sneaky, very sneaky Sor, where in the world did you learn this?" Tai asked acting shocked at Sora's behavior
"From you Tai" Sora said with a smile
With a click the picture was taken and neither TK or Kari woke from the sound
"Well this going to good blackmail material" Sora said smiling
Tai smiled then headed to the kitchen to start breakfast
--
TK and Kari awoke to the smell of bacon and without a thought moved away from each other yawning and stretching.
"Morning you two" Sora said holding a cup of coffee
The two said good morning and Kari got up to take a shower and change leaving TK on the couch scratching his head.
"You look like you got a good nights sleep" Sora said after taking a sip of her coffee
"Yeah I did" TK said stretching
"I'm glad since we got a big day" Sora said
After Kari got out of the shower TK went in and after he was done he went to the kitchen for breakfast.
"So what are we going to do today?" TK asked
"Well I have to work today so it's going to be you three" Tai said
"Okay, so Sora what are we going to do today?" TK asked turning to Sora
"Well I thought we could go out and meander for a while" Sora said
"Sounds good to me" Kari said
--
After breakfast Tai left for work and Sora, TK, and Kari went out with there first stop in their unplanned day was to the mall. They wandered around until they bumped into a familiar face.
"Mimi!" TK and Kari shouted
Mimi turned around to see TK, Kari, and Sora and smiled
"Hey you two what are you doing here?" Mimi asked hugging both of them
"We needed time away from Davis" TK said
Mimi laughed at this, "I can understand he's a lot to take"
"You have no idea" Kari said rolling her eyes
They laughed at this
"So TK, are you also giving Kari here a problem?" Mimi asked in a playful manner
"You know me always bugging her" TK said putting an arm around Kari, which made her blush slightly
Sora and Mimi noticed the blush and smiled
"So Mimi, what are you doing here?" Kari asked trying hard to get rid of her blush
"Why else? I'm shopping, but for Izzy, really" Mimi said blushing just slightly
"For Izzy? Why?" TK asked a little puzzled
"Well, if wasn't for Izzy I would've probably failed most of my courses and I want to buy him something as a thank you" Mimi explained
"You should just give Izzy a kiss I'm sure he'd like that" Sora said with a Tai like smirk
"What are you talking about Sora?" Mimi asked trying hard to hide her rosy cheeks
"I think you know" Sora said her smirk wider now
TK and Kari looked at each other confused at what is going on between the two and what did Izzy have to do with it.
"I think you've been living with Tai a little too long Sora, you're starting to take on some of his mannerisms" Mimi said a tad scared
"I am not" Sora said putting her hands of her hips
"Whatever you say, so are we still on for Friday night?" Mimi asked changing the subject
"Yes we are" Sora said confirming
"I can't wait, but what I'd like to know how you get Izzy to come with you?" TK asked
"Well that's easy, I just threaten to destroy his computer" Mimi said with a scary smile
"I forgot how scary you can get Meems" Kari said a little scared of the older girl
"Oh don't worry about Kari, I'm not as scary as I was" Mimi said
"I wouldn't be too sure of that Mimi," a voice said behind her
Mimi jumped at the voice and spun around to see Izzy
"Izzy, what are you doing here?" Mimi asked surprised to see the computer genius
"Tai told me you guys would probably be here, so I decided to join you" Izzy said with a shrug
"I thought you'd be working on your computer today" Mimi said
"That's what I thought too, but Tai called me and told me that TK and Kari were in town and he told me to keep an eye on them" Izzy explained
"Keep an eye on us, what does he think we are going to do?" Kari asked out-loud and looking at TK
Izzy shrugged as did TK
They caught up with one another and walked around the mall with no destination at all and stopping at some stores along the way.
--
The five of them decided to stop at the food court to get something to eat.
"Kari, what do you want?" TK asked looking at his friend
"TK, you don't have to buy me lunch I can do it" Kari said
"I know you can, but you spent quite a lot of money today and thought it would be my treat" TK said with a smile
"Okay TK, since you've made a good point" Kari said
After Kari told TK what she wanted she went to find a spot for them to sit.
"Where's TK?" Sora asked as she sat down next to the girl
"He's buying me lunch" Kari said
"He is?" Sora asked looking at the young girl
"I told him that he didn't need to, but he insisted on it and I knew I couldn't talk him out of it so I let him" Kari explained
Izzy and Mimi came next and sat down Mimi had a salad while Izzy had a burger basket
"Did you guys see TK up there?" Kari asked the two
"Yeah he was ordering while we were waiting for our meals" Izzy said
"Okay" Kari said
A little later TK came holding two trays, "Here you are milady"
"Thanks kind sir" Kari said taking her tray
TK sat down on the other side of Kari and dug into his lunch.
"So what are we gonna do now?" Izzy asked handing Mimi a napkin
"Well how about a movie," Sora said looking in her pocket and smiling, "Tai's treat"
"What do you mean 'Tai's treat'?" Izzy asked perplexed
"Well for one these are Tai's pants and he left enough money for a movie" Sora explained
"Sora, why in the world are you wearing my brother's pants?" Kari asked with a raised eyebrow
"I guess they got mixed up when I was folding clothes" Sora said nonchalantly with a shrug
"Okay, whatever you say Sora" Mimi said still not convinced
Sora was about to say something, but shrugged again and went back to her meal.
--
After they dumped their trays the grouped headed to the Cineplex that the mall has.
"So what do you guys want to see?" Sora asked
"How about something with some romantic" Mimi suggested holding onto Izzy's arm making him blush a bit.
"I was hoping to see something with some action, since I've seen enough chick flicks with Kari" TK said
Kari swatted TK in the arm
"Well, if that's how you feel maybe I shouldn't invite you over any more for a movie" Kari said sticking her tongue out at her friend
TK just laughed and kissed Kari on the top of her head
"I'm kidding Kari, besides there's no way you'd want to be in the same room with Davis alone" TK said
"You're right"
"Why don't we go to a movie that has a little of both" Izzy suggested
The others agreed
